Sorry it had been a while since I updated anything. The summer camp that I've been working in for like the last five years has finally started and well, let's just say that as soon as I come home, the first thing I want to do is sleep. Those bad asses keep me on my toes. I actually got to stay home on Friday because I wasn't feeling well and so I started on a new story. It won't be long at all, seven chapters, maybe eight if I do an epilogue. This idea just popped in my head while I was reading another story. The first chapter is short but I believe the others will be longer. I'll try to update the other stories soon as well.
Ch. 1 Sloth
He had been watching her ever since lunch time. Well today anyway. He always watched her ever since he first met her, waiting for the moment to where he could make his approach. It seems like he could finally do so because the asshole that she was dating had been caught cheating on her and then dumped her in front of the school. He actually considered doing a happy dance, hurting anyone who saw him, that the girl he had been wanting for a few years now was available but seeing her so upset, he had to contain the urge. He would do so when she was finally his.
The breakup happened a few weeks ago but every time he saw her she was always sniffing and sobbing. The guy wasn't worth her time anyway. Naraku was a sleaze who lied, cheated, and stole. He was sure that he was only with her to try and use her body then dump her for some tramp but Kagome wouldn't give him her innocence. He did the next best thing and found a whore who was willing to give him what he wanted and then dumped Kagome.
She really did love him, she had been with him for a few years. She had a thing for the bad boy types and Naraku was defiantly a bad boy. Not only that but he was handsome with his long curly hair, tall lean frame with muscles, intelligent, crafty, but beyond that, he was a demon…half-demon. Along with the bad boy types, she likes demons as well so Naraku pretty much was the perfect pick.
Hearing her sobs become louder as she saw him walk pass with her replacement, Kagura, he wanted to do nothing more than to beat the crap out of Naraku then go over to her and pull her in his arms. He had to refrain and be careful because since she is in this state, she wouldn't be able to control her miko powers and would surely burn him beyond repair or completely vaporize him. He decided to slowly walk over to her and just speak and if she seemed to not mind his presence then he would stay with her and try to comfort her.
He was only half way there when a girl with long dark brown hair in a high ponytail and a boy trailing behind her with black hair and a small ponytail at the nape of his neck came running over to her. He stopped and cursed under his breath and walked away before he caught their attentions.
Kagome sat on the bench that she felt like she had been sitting on for hours just letting the tears pour down. What did she do to deserve this? She had been nothing but good to him and this is how he treats her? She had been having second thoughts that she should have given up her virginity to him if that meant that she could stay with him but in her mind, she knew that she did the right thing. She had heard stories about Naraku before and while she was dating him but she had been blinded by love so much that she could only see the good in him and ignore rumors that were going around. He really is a good guy though, she had seen the true him. He's really romantic, kind, gentle, and loving.
"Maybe it was all just an act to get me to sleep with him. I am such a fool." New tears started flowing from her eyes as she thought about how stupid and careless she was. He had been leading her along all this time and when he was tired of trying, he just pulled the plug on everything.
Kagome's tears stopped as she felt a strong aura come around her. It was so comforting and warm. She was about to look up when she heard Sango and Miroku's voices coming toward her. Being surrounded by them as they tried to make her feel better, she felt the aura vanish and she felt lonely and unloved. For all she knew, she was.
"Oh Kagome, we've been looking all over for you. That bastard got you so worked up, I hope karma comes back to bite him on the ass." Sango said as she had some tissues handy for her.
"Come with us Kagome, you have to eat something. Your mother told us to make sure you do." Miroku said as he took one hand and made soothing circles with his thumb on the back of it.
Kagome knew that they were only trying to help her but they were only making her feel worse. She hated receiving pity from people and having others worrying about her. She really just wanted to pull herself together on her own but who was she kidding, she was a wreck. She had been like this for a few weeks and she can't bring herself to just move on. Despite how much she rather be on her own to get over things, the lonely feeling was strong and so she let her friends take care of her.
Sesshomaru just watched from a safe distance as her friends took her away to a table and set out homemade lunches for them to eat. He let out a sigh, another chance ruined. He didn't know that he could be such a wimp when it came to trying to approach her. Sesshomaru is a demon who always gets what he wanted when he wanted something and is a proud and confident being, yet when he is around her, he becomes insecure. He scowled at his actions, he was a man…well demon but he has the power to stand up and take action and that's exactly what he will do.
"Kagome Higurashi, I am going to make those tears of yours stop for good." It was time to step up his game and he put on a smirk as he thought about how he will win her.
Kagome sat there poking at her food while her friends try to get her mind off of Naraku by making taking part in small conversation and joking around. It was a great try but it wasn't working, the two watched as she absentmindedly poked her food and sighed. There was only one way to get the old Kagome back.
"Kagome, whatever you have planned tonight, put it on hold." Sango said after having a silent conversation with Miroku.
Kagome looked up with puffy eyes wondering what she had planned.
"We're going to take you out to that new teen club in town."
Kagome's eyes grew wide and she was about to protest but the looks that she was receiving from her two best friends made her keep her words in her mouth. She really didn't have the energy to argue with them and she sighed in defeat. Break ups are so much trouble.
Sesshomaru let a genuine smile show on his face and people who passed by cowered in fear. Everyone knew that the young taiyoukai didn't smile and the very few times he did was to humiliate someone badly, they just steered clear of him and hoped that he wasn't planning anything for them. He was planning something but it was for one person and one person only.
Kagome came home with Sango in tow. Miroku went to his home to get ready for the night and to try and contact an old friend for a favor. After explaining things to Mrs. Higurashi, who was ecstatic with the idea, they went up to Kagome's room and started to search for clothes to wear for the both of them. They borrowed each other's clothes all the time so both were very familiar with what the other has.
"Do I really have to do this?" Kagome asked as she sat on her bed and allowed Sango to choose the clothing to wear.
"Why did you even ask, of course. Kagome, I'm only doing this because I really care for you. You have been upset for the last three weeks. I'm sorry to say this but it has to be heard, he's left you a long time ago, it's time you do the same to him. The sooner, the better." Sango said with her nose in the closet.
Kagome knew that she was right. It was time to leave him but she wasn't sure that she really could, she had been with him since she learned that boys are something to like. Although they didn't hook up until she was in the 8th grade and he in the 9th grade, he was all she knew. She wasn't sure that she could move on without him. She decided that it was time for a change, she had to do this for herself, it was unhealthy to mope around and be depressed because the only guy you had feelings for turned out to be the jerk that everyone said he was. It was time to take her life by her hands.
Sesshomaru had just come inside of the mansion with a ghost of a smile on his face. He was finally going to get what he's been wanting the most. He was heading to the stairs to go up to his room and get ready to head out only to pass his half-brother talking on the phone. He would have rolled his eyes if he was anyone else. Someone was actually friends with the idiot. He would have pestered his brother to make his day even better but he had better things to do. He'll make up for it later to finish off his perfect day.
