Author's Note: I was sitting in study hall doing geometry when this idea came to me. It took me forever to put it together because of all the stress of my dad's wedding next week. I hope you like it.

"Mysterious"
He'd lived here all his life and all his life he'd known he'd liked guys; one boy in particular, Sesshomaru Taisho. He was a god among men, long silver hair down to his waist, curtaining his fragile but muscled form. A blue crescent moon and maroon stripes adorned his aristocratic features and Inuyasha wanted to run his fingers across them. His golden eyes seemed to glow in the dim school corridors, where they were now, and light up Inuyasha's world.
He, Inuyasha West, had been going to Shikon Academy for Boys and Girls since he was seven. He'd made one friend in the past ten almost eleven years. Kagome Higurashi was the best friend a guy could ever ask for. She matched him in height at 5'11" but that's where the similarities ended. She had long curly black hair; his was a screen of white. Her skin was a pale white and he was a golden sun-kissed color. The most distinctive difference was that he was half dog demon, with dog ears, while Kagome was a miko.
His thoughts were broken as the bell rang and he rushed to his locker because his next class was with Sesshomaru. Being the klutz he was, Inuyasha tripped going up the stairs, thankfully losing nothing but some of his pride. As soon as he reached his seat his eyes went over to the door because Sesshomaru didn't show up until the bell rang and the teacher never counted him tardy. Being the smartest and most popular boy in school had its perks.
All heads turned to the color as the bell rang and Sesshomaru's graceful figure entered the room, except Inuyasha. He refused to look because the more he looked the more it hurt. Seeing that not every head had turned to acknowledge his presence he stormed over to see what had kept Inuyasha, his most faithful admirer, from looking at him.
"This Sesshomaru would like to know why you do not wish to look at him." Sesshomaru kept his animal instincts under control. His beast had known Inuyasha was his mate but Sesshomaru's mind rejected the idea and to see that his mate wished to not even look at him anymore hurt. Even if Inuyasha didn't know that he was Sesshomaru's mate, yet.
"Is it law to do so?" Inuyasha's sarcastic retort made Sesshomaru's eyes flash red, his inner youkai awakening.
Make mate submit. Sesshomaru's inner beast growled at him but Sesshomaru pushed it down quickly not wanting to hurt Inuyasha. He thought over what Inuyasha had said and while it hurt he knew that Inuyasha had a point and he couldn't afford to upset his mate.
"No, this Sesshomaru guesses not." He grumbles.
"Then I will not look." A smirk spread across the hanyou's face as the taiyoukai growled in discontent. The hanyou kept his head down the rest of his class, ignoring the taiyoukai sitting next to him. While the teacher watched in amazement, never meeting anyone who would willingly confront the Lord of the Western Lands.
"Settle down, class, pay attention!" The students all pretended to move their concentration to the board but all eyes stayed on Sesshomaru as he'd sat down next to the academy's resident Goth kid. Inuyasha had worn black skinny jeans with an Atreyu band tee, a rainbow studded belt slanted over his slim hips and his red high-tops today, and looking like a model for hot-topic. However what no one seemed to know about the formidable taiyoukai was that he liked boys. The boy next to him smelled like sandalwood and cinnamon, a dangerously potent combination.
Sesshomaru's beast argued with him as the class dragged on.
Take mate here, now, in front of everyone. Make mate ours.
No. Inuyasha will hate us forever and we'll never get him to love us.
Mate smells so good and you think so too.
We can't. Sesshomaru was slowly losing control, his eyes flickering between gold and red.
We can. Mate will love us eventually. With that the beast retreated and Sesshomaru shook his head to clear away the bad thoughts.
Inuyasha's teeth ground together as he tried to contain his own anger. Why must Sesshomaru sit by him? He'd waited for years to gain the taiyoukai's attention, but it never came his way until now. He glanced through his barrier of white hair between them to catch the demon staring at him.
"Didn't your mom and dad teach you manners? It's rude to stare." Inuyasha mutters to the demon next to him.
"This Sesshomaru's parents are dead." Inuyasha's ears drooped for his mother and father was dead as well. Yet the prince had kept his home and the lowly hanyou was shipped from faster home to foster home, abused for being only half-demon, or for being only half-human.
"Me too." A kinship between the boys formed with a passing of sympathetic glances to each other. " I never knew my father, he died before I was born but my mom died when I was five defending me from a mob of mother's who thought hanyous were to much of an abomination to live alongside their children." Sesshomaru put his arm around the half-breed's shoulders in comfort, his instincts demanding to make his mate feel better.
"This Sesshomaru's mother died in childbirth and this Sesshomaru's father died in battle." The hanyou place his hand atop the taiyoukai seeking to return the comfort just given. They sat huddled together the rest of class talking mainly about bands they liked trying to avoid parents as a topic of conversation.
End of School Day
"Can this Sesshomaru come over to your home?" Inuyasha's eyes filled with sorrow as he pushed away from the demon. He thought of the bruises on his stomach and upper body shaped like his foster mother's fists. He flung his bag over his shoulder, hiding his wince of pain before looking back to Sesshomaru.
"Not today, okay? My foster mom has something planned and I can't invite guests." Inuyasha laughed in his head at his own joke. They didn't invite people to beatings anymore but who knew this home was worse than all the last ones combined. Seeing the frown on Sesshomaru's face as he walked away he called over his shoulder, "Maybe we can hang out tomorrow."
Sesshomaru's beast surged forward at all these half truths and the unhappy face on his mate. As Inuyasha disappeared farther down the sidewalk the taiyoukai's beast growled out only one thing,
Protect mate.
AN: So tell me what you think and depending on the reviews I might have to add another chapter
