Kagome sat in her bedroom packing her the last of her things. 'Today is the day' she thought to herself. 'College is going to be even more difficult than high school was. But at least I don't have to share a room. I get my own dorm. That means no Souta coming to bother me or snooping either.' She sighed
"Kagome!" her mother yelled
"Coming mom!"
She ran downstairs dragging the rest of her stuff and sitting it next to her suitcase.
"Are you excited sweetheart? You know Tokyo University is a really good school!" she told her daughter
"Yeah I'm excited. But I will miss you and even grandpa and Souta too." Kagome said
"I know dear but we are only going to be and hour away. So we will be able to visit you. Do you have everything you need?" she asked her
"Yeah."
"Well we should go then. You'll need time to get settled before your classes start tomorrow. Dad! Souta! It's time to go!" she yelled
Souta came running down the stairs and stopped right before running into Kagome. Her grandpa came out from the kitchen and sighed.
"Kagome? Are you sure you want to go to Tokyo U? You could always stay and train more to be a priestess and take over the shrine." Her grandfather told her
Kagome rolled her eyes at what he said, "I'm sure grandpa."
"Sis, In just wanted to tell you.." he paused for a moment as if contemplating what he was going to say. "I'm so glad we are finally getting rid of you!"
"Why you little brat!" she yelled as she chased him outside and around the shrine grounds.
"Kagome! Souta! Come help me carry these bags to the car." She told her kids
They packed all of her things into the gray mini van and got in the car. Souta played is game boy while her mother and grandpa were talking. Kagome just sat quietly thinking to her self.
"Why couldn't you send him to another college? I don't want him around me. He tarnishes our family name." A young man said as he looked at the older one at the desk across the room.
The younger man was tall and had an unnaturally long silver hair that flowed down his slender back and touched the back of his knees. His eyes were golden like the sunset and burned like fire towards the man he stood in front of. He wore a black short sleeve shirt with baggy blue jean pants.
"He is family Sesshoumaru and I have decided he will attend Tokyo U as well. So you will just have to deal with it. I am not changing my mind for any reason so you may leave if you have nothing more to say." His father told him
Sesshoumaru was looking at his father angry because he had no way of making him change his mind. Although you could not see it on his stoic face. You could only tell if you looked deep into his eyes.
His father turned back to the computer in front of him as Sesshoumaru started to leave he turned around at the man that sat at the desk. If you looked at the you would swear they were twins except his father had shorter hair that only reached his middle back.
As he walked down the hall away from his fathers study he headed towards his room to grab the rest of his things. He finished packing his suitcases into the back of his BMW SUV and got in the car. He started the engine and was about to drive off when his father stopped him. So he rolled down the window to see what he wanted.
"I wanted to tell you that you need to take your brother with you. I have a very important matter to deal with and Izayoi is out of town visiting some friends. And don't worry. This is your last year so you wont have to be around Inuyasha to long." His father said to him.
"Very well father I will take Inuyasha, but you need to tell him to hurry up because I will be leaving in five minutes. With or without him in the car." He told the man
"Very well. He will be down in just a minute." He told his son
He watched his father walk into the house to fetch his brother. A few minutes later they were dragging his belongings and placing them in the back of his car. He again rolled down the window to bid his father good bye.
"Good luck Inuyasha. Behave and stay out of trouble. I don't want to send you somewhere else for schooling like I had to before. Sesshoumaru watch out for Inuyasha and keep him out of trouble. Let me know how things go. Talk to you in a few days boys." He told them and walked back into the house.
Sesshoumaru rolled up his window and drove off towards their destination in complete silence the whole way there.
Kagome and her family arrived at the campus. They went to the office to get her dorm room number and keys
"There you go Miss Higurashi." The black haired woman said, "You in dorm room 351. That will be in the second building to the right of here and on the second floor. There are three large bathrooms on your floor. There are showers in them as well." She told her
"Thank you!" Kagome said with a smile and headed off to her room.
After she said her farewells to her family she headed for a relaxing shower. When she came back to her room she walked in to find another girl in her room unpacking as well.
She had long black hair that was in a high ponytail at the top of her head. She was tall and slender and was bearing a pink strapless dress.
The girl turned around to see Kagome looking at her.
"Hello! My name is Sango. I didn't know you were here yet." she said
"That's okay Sango. I'm Kagome by the way. I didn't know I had a roommate." She told her
"Oh yeah. Unfortunately everyone does. This is my second year here. I'm glad I got you as a roommate. I can tell you aren't crazy like my last roommate. She was really crazy and I almost failed my classes because of her." Laughed Sango
"Oh my. That must have been terrible." Kagome gasped
"Yeah it really was."
Sango finished unpacking her things and threw her self on her bed. She looked over to see Kagome reading a book.
"Hey Kagome?" Sango called
"Yeah Sango."
"Want to get some ice cream with me. I know this great place about five minutes from here. We can walk!" she told her
"Sure. That's sounds good. Just let me grab my purse." Kagome put her book down and put on some sandals. "You ready Sango?"
An hour later they returned and flopped on there beds as they stared at the ceiling.
"That was really good Sango. We're going to go there more often." Kagome told her new friend
"Yeah that's one of my favorite places to go." She replied
Kagome grabbed her toothbrush and headed for the bathroom. When she came back she saw Sango passed out on her bed. She smiled and crawled into her bed too. She set her alarm clock and copied Sango.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEPKagome slapped her alarm clock so she could sleep in some more and rolled over.
"Kagome! Kagome, wake up." Sango said as she shook her
It was no use she wasn't even stirring.
"Just five more minutes Souta. Come back in five minutes." Kagome said in her sleep as Sango rolled her eyes.
A smirk came upon Sango's face as an idea came to mind "KAGOME!" Sango yelled at the top of her lungs.
She jumped up to someone yelling her name and looked up to find Sango standing above her with a smile planted on her face.
"Why did you wake me up Sango. It's a little early don't you think?" she told the girl
"Kagome, you have ten minutes until the first class starts. You better hurry up and get ready. I'm leaving now so I can get a coffee before class. I'll meet you in front of the library after class. See you later." She called as she ran out the door.
Kagome nodded and ran to the bathroom as she brushed her hair and teeth. She came back to her dorm and put on a black skirt with a short sleeve red top. She slid on her sandals, grabbed her books and ran out the door.
She had five minutes to find her class. Looking down at a piece of paper in her hand she walked into the building that stood in front if her.
Sesshoumaru was entering into the building heading for his first class. He was so deep in his own thoughts he didn't see the young girl that was heading straight for him.
CRASH!
Kagome walked right into him knocking all of her paper and books onto the ground.
"I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention. I apologize for walking into you. Please excuse my being clumsy." She blabbed as she picked her things off the floor.
"Don't let it happen again." A deep silky voice said to her.
She looked up and locked eyes with a tall slender man with long silver hair and golden eyes. He had an emotionless expression on his face as he just stared at her.
'How rude. He's not even helping me with my stuff. And what an attitude.' She thought to her self
She stood up and noticed she was about a foot or two shorter than she was. She didn't care though. She was going to tell him what she thought.
"You are so rude. I accidentally knock into you and even apologize and you tell me not to do it again!" she yelled as she stabbed her finger into his chest. "You have no manners and walk around like you are all high and mighty. Let me tell you something. You aren't any better than anyone else. So get off your high horse and get a new personality!" she finished as she sucked up air. She walked off before he could respond and went to her class. Which this time it only took her ten minutes to find.
Sesshoumaru stood shocked even though you couldn't tell. 'That woman dare talk to me like that. Nobody has ever dared to talk to me like that. Next time I see her I will make her cower before me.' He thought and walked off to his class.
When Kagome found her class she looked around to find a seat. All but one was taken and it just so happened to be next to that guy she yelled at earlier. She sighed and walked to her seat and sat down just as her professor came through the door.
'Great. Why do I always get myself into these situations? Hopefully tomorrow I'll get here early enough so I don't have to sit next to him.' She sighed and began to take notes as the professor started his lecture.
Sesshoumaru stared at the woman next to him. He quietly studied her as she took notes. He already read ahead so he really had no need to listen to the lecture. He had this teacher last year and knew he just copied everything that was in the book during his lectures.
After class ended Kagome ran out of the classroom to avoid the man she ran into earlier so she could meet up with Sango. 'Yes' she thought. She had gotten away. Or so she thought she did until someone grabbed her arm and stopped her. She turned around to look into the same golden eyes from before.
"You should apologize wench!" he told her
"I already did. Besides you should be the one apologizing for being rude." She said angrily
"I, Sesshoumaru apologize to no one." He spat
"Oh really? Well I guess you are out of luck." She said grabbing her arm back, "I don't apologize to people who don't deserve it."
With that said she walked off towards the library leaving him standing there and not even looking back. She didn't even notice that someone was following her.
She shortly after met up with Sango when she saw her waiting for her.
"Kagome!" Sango yelled
"Hey Sango. Sorry to make you wait."
"No Problem. What kept you?" she asked
"This jerk I ran into this morning stopped me after class ended." She told Sango what happened on the way to the courtyard but didn't mention his name.
'Kagome huh? So thats the wench's name.' He said to himself and headed for his next class.
Sango's eyes bulged out of her head when she heard what happened. "He really said that to you? Oh my god, he deserved that thrashing. I would have hit him myself." She told her friend
All of the sudden they both felt someone's hand on their butts and yelped. They both turned around and hit the attacker. "PERVERT!" the yelled in unison
"Must you be so cruel ladies?" the man asked. He had violet eyes and a small ponytail at the end of his neck. He had on a purple shirt with black board shorts.
"Kagome, meet Miroku. He's the campus lecher." Sango said madly
"Hello fair Kagome. It is a pleasure to meet you." He said kissing her hand
"I'm sure it is!" Kagome said sarcastically
Miroku turned to Sango, "You look lovely today Sango. As you do everyday." He said making her blush
"So who's hungry?" Sango asked changing the subject.
"I would be anything if I were in your presence Sango." He responded
"I could go for some food as well." Said Kagome
And they all headed for the cafeteria to grab some food before their next class.
When they were in the cafeteria getting ready to leave Kagome went to stand up from her seat to throw her trash away and bumped into someone. She once again apologized, "I am so sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you. Please forgive me." She said looking at the man. 'He looks like the man from earlier. I know it's not him though. I guess it's his brother.' She was suddenly broken from her thoughts as her victim started yelling.
"You should watch where you going bitch!" the food covered man yelled angrily at her
"Hey jerk! I already apologized for bumping into you. And don't call me that." She spat at him
"Okay woman, or do you prefer wench?" he said smugly as he saw her anger rise
"Look buddy," she said jabbing him with her finger "It's not bitch or woman or wench. It's Kagome! KA-GO-ME! Get it right you stupid dog."
"Well KA-GO-ME, watch where you're going next time or I wont be so nice." He said and walked off
Sesshoumaru who had watched all of this found it amusing. 'Well at least she knows how to deal with my brother. She wont find it that easy with me though.' So he headed outside and waited for her to come out.
"So miss Kagome, what class do you have next?" Miroku asked her
"Just Kagome, and I have umm...Psychology." she replied
"That's my next class too." He said suprised
"I have it as well." Sango said happily
"If you'd like you can walk with us to class." He said
"I will meet you guys back here. I'm going to run to my room real quick. Is that okay with you guys?" she asked
"Sure we've got ten minutes until class starts so we'll just wait here for you." Sango told her
"Be right back you guys." She said getting up and leaving the table.
As she was walking out of the cafeteria somebody grabbed her again and pulled her into an empty classroom and covered her mouth.
"If you promise not to yell I will remove my hand." Came a familiar silky voice in her ear. She just nodded and he removed his hand.
When she turned around she was suprised and at the same time not suprised. Part of her knew who it was but the other part of her didn't want to believe it.
"What rude things do you want to say to me this time?" she asked
She grew nervous when he didn't answer. Instead he just sat there studying her closely. She started to blush a light pink color on her cheeks. She felt like some side attraction at the circus.
"Am I really that repulsive? Why did you bring me here if you were just going to stare?" she asked
"I do not find you repulsive. I actually find you quite attractive. I am curious to know why you would talk back to me instead of cower like everyone else." He told her
She blushed became deeper from the compliment. "Thank you." She whispered and looked away from his heavy gaze.
'She has become shy and flustered. She is indeed very interesting. Different from all the other woman that attend here. They throw themselves at me begging me to go out with them. But she doesn't do it at all. She is oddly not impressed by my looks. I know she finds me attractive but she does not like me just because of my looks like the other women.' He thought
"I don't see why I should fear you?" she said breaking him of his thoughts.
"Everyone fears me. Men do the women here throw themselves at me." He said matter of factly
"Well you will come to realize I am not them." She replied as she stared into his sun colored eyes.
He didn't realize he had pinned her to the wall by this time and his head was now slowly falling towards hers. Neither of them noticed until their lips met. They stood there like that for a few minutes lost in the moment.
Sesshoumaru pulled away and was slapping himself mentally for kissing this girl. Not because he didn't want to but because he didn't know how she would respond seeing as how he didn't know her well enough.
Kagome just stood there for a moment and stared lazily as she thought of what just happened. When she broke from her thoughts she realized he was staring down at her as if he was waiting for something. She blushed again and apologized and ran out of the room leaving him behind.
'I must have embarrassed her. At least she didn't strike me for doing that. This girl, Kagome is indeed very interesting. I must have her.' He thought and left the room for his next class.
'Oh my god he kissed me. My first kiss. It was nice I will say that. Why did he kiss me? Did he do it to get me to be obsessed like the other girls so I wouldn't talk back? He's got it all wrong if he thinks that's going to happen.' She thought angrily 'I won't fall for his little tricks. I am nothing like those other girls that will obey his every command.'
When she got back to the cafeteria she noticed Sango and Miroku were already gone. When she looked at one of the clocks she found she was running late and started to look for her classroom. When she got there she was relieved to see her professor wasn't there yet.
When she entered she saw her friends had saved her a seat. Miroku was to Sango right and to the left of her was an empty seat that was reserved for her. Unfortunately she was also seated next to Sesshoumaru. Why did she have the same classes as him so far? So she quietly took her seat between the two and listened to the lecture that was about to begin.
Kagome didn't take her eyes off the chalkboard the whole period.
And Miroku didn't take his eyes of Sango either. He did notice how Sesshoumaru kept glancing at Kagome every so often. This made him curious. This was his third year attending this school and he has had many classes with Sesshoumaru but never has he seen him even spare anybody a single look. Not even the woman who worshiped the ground he walks on. It made him worry and curious at the same time. He figured that he talked to Sango about it later on. For now he just wanted to focus his attention on his beautiful Sango.
