White Day Surprise by MorningStar

What Kagome Doesn't Know

A/N: Hey guys!! Thanks for all the kind reviews of Chocolate Covered Kisses (the prequel to this for those who didn't know) This is the promised sequel and we meet up with them one month after their Valentine's Day "festivities".

Disclaimer: nope, Sesshomaru's not mine, but oh how i wish he was.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome groaned inwardly. 'How much do I hate packing?' She sighed and looked at the pile of clothes that buried her bed from view, 'Oh, let me count the ways.'

It was March 13th, a simple day that normally met her heading off to work like any other day. But no, this year she had to pack. 'Stupid White Day. Why did I even mention it?' Then he vision shifted to the small box that was on Sesshomaru's night stand. Kagome had no idea what was in it and refused to look until it was handed to her, but it had been the reason she mentioned it. "It's only fair that the men should have to return the favor."

Sesshomaru's chuckle brought Kagome out of her thoughts. She immediately blushed, "Oh, did I say that outloud?"

"Indeed." Sesshomaru peeked his head into the bedroom and nearly laughed at the massive pile of clothing that was strewn across their bed. "Dearest, how much of this trip do you plan on actually wearing clothing?"

Kagome paused to think. They were going to be spending a week in a small cabin in the mountains. Maybe take a few trips to the lake... So she only really needed a few jeans, some shirts, undergarments, and a bathing suit. She shoved almost everything off the bed and onto the floor without ceremony and Sesshomaru finally let a loud laugh ring out.

"That's my girl. Who really needs clothes anyway?"

Kagome smiled at his laughter, he didn't let it come out often and when he did it was music to her ears. "Not us." Sesshomaru winked at her before heading out to his office for the day.

~*~*~*~*~

Once Kagome was certain that he was gone she grabbed a small plastic bag from under the bed. She had been so afraid that he'd find it accidentally, but thankfully he fears were unfounded. All she had to do was get up the courage to actually use the blasted thing.

Her fingers gripped the box so tightly she heard it crush and tear in her hands. Why? Why was this so hard? She knew she was afraid of what the answer would be, but she didn't know if she wanted the 'yes' or the 'no'.

~*~*~*~*~

Sesshomaru sat at his desk staring at his computer screen, dopey smile gracing his face. "Oi, jackass! Get back to work!"

Sesshomaru growled at the half-breed who dared to order him around. "In case you forgot hanyou, we BOTH own this company. Don't piss me off or I'll buy you out."

'Or he could simply get Kagome to sit you a few hundred times,' his brain was all too happy to supply. Inuyasha's ears flattened against his head, "You were off in space somewhere, I just need you to be here for 5 minutes to sign these documents, then you can leave."

He watched as Sesshomaru absently signed the papers that were put in front of him and looked at his computer screen again.

Inuyasha couldn't help but sigh, he knew what was on the screen, it was a picture of Sesshomaru and Kagome taken the night after they first were mated. It was the only picture to have ever exsisted where Sesshomaru was actually smiling. Though if you asked Sesshomaru he wasn't smiling, he never smiled.

"Why don't you just go home? You know you want to."

"I do, but there is something that Kagome needs to do when I'm not there. I understand that, and am waiting for her to get the courage to do it."

Inuyasha's mouth dropped. "Don't tell me you didn't tell her yet!"

Sesshomaru smirked, "I figured it'd be best if she figured it out on her own."

Now it was Inuyasha's turn to smirk, "I hope she sits you to hell and back for this."
