Chapter Zero
Spiral
Kagome smiled lightly at her picture of Inu-Yasha. For once, she was certain of something. He was going to propose. She just knew he was. She walked down the street, having chosen to wear a black cashmere shirt. She hummed to herself, her attention otherwise diverted as she thought of Inu-Yasha, and only he. Finally she approached his house, knocking lightly before a maid answered the door, gasping at Kagome. "Miss Kagome! We weren't expecting you today! Please come in." And she let Kagome in.
"Is Inu-Yasha here?" She asked, while she watched Miki the maid cringe.
"He has company." She murmured, and Kagome raised her eyebrows.
"Miroku?" She asked, but Miki shook her head. "Koga?" Another headshake. "Who is it then?"
"A woman who looks like you, named Kikyo." Miki whispered, and she watched Kagome's face harden. She turned and walked past Miki, determined to see Inu-Yasha and see what another girl was doing here, with him. Alone. She pushed the door open, and made no noise as she pulled the camera he had bought her for last Christmas and snapped a picture.
"Thanks Inu-Yasha…" She whispered, but he didn't look up as she closed the door and turned, walking away. She would send the photo to him later. He'd feel no remorse. He would feel nothing but surprise that she had found out. She knew him. She nodded to Miki, whispered "Thank you" and walked out. She was confused, and dazed, and as she walked she watched the ground.
Her hand ran across her face, wiping the tears away.
She bumped into something, and in surprise her arms flailed and she latched onto the first thing she grabbed. Or should I say person. She pulled the man down with her, him falling over her, his hands on either side of her head. His hat flew away, and his glasses fell to the ground, cracking. The first thing Kagome saw was silver. The next thing was golden. She concentrated, staring at the gold before she realized they were eyes. Her breath caught and even with his glare, he was oh so beautiful. A shrill squealing noise seemed to take her away from the momentary lapse in time that seemed to occur for her. "There he is!" The man sighed, quickly standing as he grabbed Kagome, tugging her along with him. They took off, Kagome stumbling a bit before she ran with him. She yelped when he turned sharply, hiding beside a dumpster. The mob of girls ran past them and around the building.
Kagome exhaled, breathing shaky and slightly heavy before she looked back at the male, who continued to glare. She furrowed her brows. "Who are you?" She asked, and sighed when he glared. Her hand went to her forehead. "If you continue to glare at me you won't wake up again." She warned, and he was surprised.
"You do not know me?" He asked and she shrugged.
"Guess not. Are you going to answer the question?"
"I am Sesshomaru." He said, eyes hard. "Why did you knock me over woman?" Kagome didn't look at him, her eyes going curiously dead while the memory knocked into her all over again.
"Why were you running from those girls?" She interjected, not answering his question. "All your ex-girlfriends that want to beat you?" She said, the hollowness of her eyes seeming to change back into the shiny way they normally were.
"Crazy fan girls."
"You're famous?" With his nod, she sat down fully, sighing. "I see." A squeal was heard and Kagome looked up, glaring hard at the females that now surrounded them. Sesshomaru's expression went blank. Girls began talking, and he stood. Kagome watched as he towered over the ladies.
"Can I not see my girlfriend without being followed?" He demanded. Every girl gasped out, before an awkward silence filled the air. One stepped forward.
"How can you be with her?" She asked in disbelief, pointing an accusing finger at Kagome. "She's so plain! I'm fabulous, date me!" Kagome looked at the girl, face blank.
"Wait, what?" She asked. Sesshomaru grabbed her hand and pulled her up, his eyes begging her to go along with what he said.
"Who's girlfriend looks like that? Fat?" Kagome's body tensed and she stepped towards the female, her eyes lit bright like fire.
"Because I am curvy, with wide spread hips and big bosoms does not make me fat little tart. She tugged up her shirt, showing her stomach. "Because I'm not a pixie stick with an eating disorder like you girls, I'm so fat. Yeah, right." She dropped her shirt, her nostrils flaring with controlled rage. "I'm so fat aren't I?" She challenged the girl, glaring at her. She turned to Sesshomaru, deciding to play along.
"Well this was a fun five minutes darling." She muttered, and turned away. "I'll see you later sweetheart." She walked from the ally and took off, running away. The tears began to fall again, bouncing off her cheeks. She was too eager to get home. When she got there, she collapsed onto her couch, sobbing lightly into the pillows below her.
A few moments later she heard the door open and she looked up. "What do you want?"
"Why do you cry?" He challenged, sitting on the chair in the room. She stared at him.
"Why'd you just walk in? You don't live here."
"They followed me. Had to make it look real sweetheart." He said, rolling his eyes. "Now tell me why you're crying." The sun hit his face and he squinted, the gold in his eyes sparkling. She sighed, rolling onto her back before she stood, removed her camera from her pocket. She threw the camera at him.
"Go to preview, and look at the picture that pops up. That is why." She whispered, walking to the kitchen. She got a cup of orange juice and offered it to him. When he didn't take it, she shrugged and sat down, drinking from it.
"Is this porn?" He questioned, studying the photo. She scoffed. "He looks familiar…" He muttered. "That is my brother."
