High School
By: Leona DarkIt's the middle of the night; the full moon is high in the sky casting its light through the window of an 18 year old girl. She is a full blooded dog demon (She has long white hair that reaches past her butt, Emerald green eyes, white dog ears on the top of her head, full lushes lips that any guy wishes they could kiss, full plump breasts, a smooth flat stomach, a round tight butt that almost every guy tries to grab and long strong legs.) and one of the popular girls in school which she hates but that's what she's been classified as in her wonderful ( I'm being sarcastic..) high school. In high school she only really has, in her opinion, two true friends which are her best friend Inu-Yasha and his older half-brother Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru is a Junior like her and Yasha but he's a year older than them making him 19 and also the hottest guy in school so with her being best friends with him makes her the most hated girl in school by all the other girls because if you're not Leona then you aint getting too close to him except to maybe be a one night stand. Inu-Yasha is her best friend because when she first moved in to this town in the 3rd grade everyone picked on her because of her dog ears and tail so they would be mean to her but Inu-Yasha saved her. He stood up for her and so did Sesshomaru. They've been best friends ever since but now she has a hard time trusting humans and most humans would actually call her mean or cold hearted because of how cold she can tend to be with humans but those who actually know her story understand.
As the moonlight is streaming through her window she's dancing around her room in just a black sports bra and her favorite gray sweat pants that are overly baggy on her because they are actually Sesshomaru's. Leona danced to one of her favorite songs "I'm into you – Jennifer Lopez" and as she danced she was singing it, not realizing she has an audience outside her window watching her until suddenly she spun to face her window were her eyes met gold ones causing her to jump almost out of her skin causing the two outside her window to chuckle. Once she heard them chuckling she couldn't help but smile, they always did this to her when she wasn't sleeping over at their house, she rolled her eyes and leaned out the window as she said, "You two are horrible." Sesshomaru smirked at her and replied, "You asked for it by not sleeping at our house." Leona just rolled her eyes at him as Inu-Yasha said, "Ass hole is right, d. When you don't sleep over with us we always show up outside your window to drag you over." Leona giggles and smiled as she replied, "I know but maybe I wanted some me time away from my two boyfriends." That statement made Inu-Yasha and Leona laugh but Sesshomaru just smirked. (It's a joke between the three of them because everyone in high school is going around saying that Leona is dating both brothers and both brothers are sleeping with her which isn't completely a lie because when she spends the night over at their house she either ends up sleeping in bed with Sesshomaru or Inu-Yasha even though she has never had sex with either of them but everyone in high school thinks that she has.) Leona stepped away from the window and said, "Ok, I'll grab everything I need for school tomorrow and then I'll be right over. My clothes are still over there right?" Sesshomaru nodded and replied, "Yes they are in my closet and ma went shopping again for you so there are even more than before." Leona smiled and rolled her eyes as she said, "I love ma but when that woman goes shopping it's never a good thing." They all laughed knowing that it was true and Leona knew that Sesshomaru's closet was probably taken over by clothes that Izayoi (Inu-Yasha's mother and Sesshomaru's step mother) had bought for her. Then Inu-Yasha went off home and Leona turned around and started grabbing stuff for tomorrow thinking that Sesshomaru left to wait for her next door at their house but while she was putting her school stuff back into her bag Sesshomaru came through her window and stood by her bed watching her. Leona felt him there watching her so as she zipped up her book bag she asked, "Why are you watching me like that?" He ignored her question and said, "You're wearing my sweat pants." Leona glanced up at him and replied, "Ya, I know." A smirk appeared on his face as he said, "You were thinking about me..." Leona's cheeks started heating up from his statement and Leona replied, "Just because I'm wearing your sweat pants doesn't mean I was thinking about you, sessh." Sesshomaru put a clawed finger under her chin tilting her face up to him as he asked, "Then why are you blushing?" Leona sighed and simply stated in a almost whisper, "Why does it matter?!" Sesshomaru dropped his finger as she looked away and got to her feet with her book bag over her one shoulder an her purse in her hand. Before Leona disappeared out her window she said, "What I feel doesn't matter because no matter how I feel about anything won't change anything." He stood there watching her face and as she disappeared out the window he just stood there. He knew that her sadness ran deep and he has been trying his hardest to make her not feel sadness any more but no matter what he did never worked. He sighed and disappeared out the window awhile making his way over to his house next door were he found Leona waiting for him by the front door with a smirk on her tempting lips. "Damn, Sesshomaru what took you so long? Getting old are you?" She said smirking at him causing him to growl at her playfully and running towards her. Leona quickly opened the door and ran through the house with Sesshomaru right behind her. A laughing Inu-Yasha stood in the door way of the kitchen watching as his brother chases a giggling Leona around the house growling at her playfully.
As time went on Sesshomaru finally pinned Leona to the living room floor giggling an him smirking down at her and Inu-Yasha standing in the living room door way laughing at the pair. Sesshomaru knew that doing this kind of move so close to mating season (It's a demon thing) was risky because one wrong move and his demon could show its self, making her submit to him which then meant that she belonged to him. Once they all stopped laughing Leona looked up at Sesshomaru who is still on top of her pinning her to the floor and said, "I'm surprised ma and dad didn't came down yet to yell at us to keep it down." Inu-Yasha shrugged and replied, "They left earlier today on a business trip." Leona looked over at Yasha and said, "Again?! Damn, that means you two trouble makers are here all by your selves for a week." Sesshomaru growled at her playfully making her giggle again and said, "What? It's true. I usually have to keep you two from killing each other while there gone." Both brothers growled at her making her laugh. Then Leona finally looked up at Sesshomaru and said, "Can you get off of me so that I can go take a shower." He nodded and got up off of her helping her up in the process. Once she was on her feet she grabbed her stuff and went upstairs to Sesshomaru's room. When she got to his room she walked in and put everything into his walk in closet. She looked around his closet and shook her head at all her clothes that now took over his closet. Half of his closet was now taken over by her clothes and shoes that Izayoi had bought her while the other half was all his clothes and shoes. Leona smiled thought because she liked feeling like she was a part of something, a part of a family and as soon as that thought crossed her mind tears started welling up in her eyes. She took a deep breath and then walked into Sesshomaru's bathroom to take a shower for school tomorrow.
Meanwhile down stairs…..
Sesshomaru and Inu-Yasha are down stairs in the kitchen talking while waiting for Leona. "She's not going to give in easily, ya know. Right now she doesn't think anything matters especially how she feels." Inu-Yasha told his brother as he took a drink from his beer. Sesshomaru just sighed and replied, "I will get her back the way she was. No matter what it takes." Inu-Yasha shrugged him shoulders and said, "Good luck with that. She's good at hiding things from everyone."
Sesshomaru went up to his room and as he walked into his room there stood Leona on his balcony just wearing his t-shirt that came just below her butt. Sesshomaru couldn't help but stand there letting his eyes wonder and after he closed his door he walked up behind Leona who didn't turn around once. As Sesshomaru went to wrap his arms around her waist she spoke saying, "I've always wondered if I could ever find a guy that would love me for me instead of how I looked and now I don't even care. I'm tired of being depressed, Sessh. I'm tired of crying all the time and I'm tired of feeling like an abandoned child." He could smell her tears and it pained him. He wrapped his arms around her waist pressing her back against his body as he said, "Your grieving, Leo. Your parents died only a few months ago and now the only ones you have is us but I promise you that I will protect you. I will help you heal." Leona turned around in his arms so that she was facing him as she asked as she put her hands on his chest, "How are you going to do that, Sessh? I barely know how to smile anymore." Sesshomaru looked down at her and tightened his hold on her as he replied, "I would do anything to make you happy."
The next morning Leona woke up with Sesshomaru snuggled up to her back end like usual and his face nuzzled into her neck. Leona smiled as she layed there just lightly tracing circles into his hand that was lying in front of her. His arms were tightly around her holding her close to him and she always felt safe in his arm. As she laid there relaxed with her eyes closed she sighed in contentment. Suddenly there was a pounding on the door and Inu-Yasha yelling, "Get the fuck up or else we're gonna be late!" Sesshomaru growled as he nuzzled Leona's neck before sitting up. Leona looked up at him with a slight smile as she said, "We better hurry up before Yasha has a cow." Sesshomaru looked down at her with a smirk and replied, "He wants to see Kagome." Leona humphed and said, "I don't know why he's wasting his time with that human. Their all the same." Leona got out of bed and stretched out her muscles from sleep not realizing that the shirt that she wore to bed came up showing off her butt. Sesshomaru smirked at the sight and replied, "Not all humans are, Leona. Give them a chance." Leona glanced over her shoulder at him before disappearing into his walk in closet to find something to wear. Sesshomaru got out of bed and walked into his bathroom as Leona walked out with clothes in her hand. She put on her dark purple G-string with a matching lacey bra and then she got dressed into a pair of skinny jeans that had holes in them, a black belly shit that showed off her curves and her stomach. As Sesshomaru came out of his bathroom Leona was sitting on the bed brushing her hair. Leona smirked as she looked over at him. He stood there in just a pair of sweat pants and no shirt. Leona loved how yummy he looked; his muscular body drove her nuts even though she would never admit it out loud. As she put her brush back on the bed side table on her side of the bed Sesshomaru walked into the closet to get dressed and Leona asked, "Can you grab my sandals for me, Sessh?" She went into the bathroom to do her make-up as Sesshomaru came out of the closet with his clothes in hand and got dressed into a pair of blue jeans and a black t-shirt with a blue dragon going up the side. Once he was dressed he went back into the closet grabbing a pair of black and purple wedge sandals for Leona just in time because once he came back out of the closet she came walking out looking gorgeous. Leona sat on the bed and slipped on her sandals that Sesshomaru handed to her and then she grabbed her book bag before heading out the door with Sesshomaru right behind her.
When they got down stairs there was Inu-Yasha standing by the door talking to Miroku, Kouga, Sango and Kagome. Leona scowled seeing the brothers human friends as Miroku smiled warmly at her and Sesshomaru as he said, "There's the happy couple. About time you two come down stairs." Leona just growled slightly as she proceeded to walk past them and out the door. Sesshomaru sighed as Sango said scowling, "She seriously has an attitude problem." Kouga glared at her as he said, "She just don't trust humans, Sango." Sango looked at everyone curious as she asked, "Why?" Sesshomaru looked at her seriously and replied, "They hurt her when she was little. When we first met her all humans wanted to do was try to hurt her."
Leona took a deep breath and continued to walk down the street. Inu-Yasha and Sesshomaru just started hanging out with Miroku, Sango and Kagome a few weeks ago so they didn't know anything about Leona except of how cold she could be. Leona only hung out with other demons and half-demons. As Leona walked down the sidewalk toward school a tear went down her face she thought, "Why do I have to be the "fucked up" one? They have to always explain to everyone why I'm the way I am." Then she hears her demon growl and say, "Then why don't you actually try to change." Leona sighed and replied in her heard, "Because I don't know how." As she walked around the corner her cellphone went off so she pulled it out of her back pocket and seem that it was Sesshomaru so she answered it.
Leona: Hey, Sessh.
Sesshomaru: Where are you?
Leona: I'm about three blocks from the house. Why?
Sesshomaru: You took off without telling me.
Leona: *as she smirked* Now you sound like a worried boyfriend, Sesshomaru...
Sesshomaru: *he growled playfully* I don't want my girl getting hurt
Leona: *giggling* I'm not gonna get hurt. I'll see you at school.
Then she hung up as she walked into the parking lot of the school. After she put her cellphone into her pocket again she walked up to the fountain and sat on the rim of it to wait for the others. She smiled slightly as she watched everyone pass by her to meet their friends. She looked at her cellphone realizing she was a half an hour early making her sigh as she said out loud, "Well, that's what I get for being a bitch." She couldn't help but laugh at herself and then she went into her book bag pulling out her journal to write in it. Once she found her favorite purple pen she began to write and as she was about to put it back into her bad she hears a familiar husky voice say, "Hey, beautiful. Haven't seen you in a while." Leona looked up to see her best friend Bankotsu who moved away three years ago and she could help but jump into his arms wrapping her arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist holding her tight. She smiled up at him as he put her back on her feet but still holding on to her as she said, "I can't believe your back. I thought you weren't gonna come back." He smiled down at her as he replied, "I missed you so I came back and got an apartment so that I could stay." Leona's smile faded slightly and said, "I missed you too but I didn't think you were ever coming back." Bankotsu shrugged and replied, "I had to wait until my 18th birthday because then I could leave without my parents trying to get me to stay. I tried to get here sooner but they gave me a hard time about coming back." Leona looked away and said, "I wish you did come here earlier. I really needed you then." Bankotsu looked at her oddly and asked, "What do you mean? What happened?" Leona looked back up at him with tears in her eyes as she replied, "My parents are dead, Bank. They died six months ago. I am alone well I have Yasha and Sessh but still." Bankotsu hugged her and said, "Leona I didn't know. I'm sorry I wasn't here when you needed me the most but I tried and I'm here now." Leona smiled slightly and replied, "Its ok. I wasn't alone, trust me. Since it happened I've had Sesshomaru taking care of me and his parents are practically having me moved into the house. " They laughed and then Bankotsu asked, "The Tashio brothers have always been protective of you and I'm surprised you aren't dating Fluffy yet." Leona smirked as she went over an grabbed her book bag as she replied, "Who says I'm not?!" Bankotsu shook his head at her and asked, "Well, are you dating him, Leona?" Leona shook her head as she slung her bag onto her shoulder and replied, "No, right now I can't feel anything but sadness…. But he tries to make me happy." Bankotsu smiled at her and said, "He's always been in love with you, Leona. I'm surprised you and him haven't gotten together yet." Leona shrugged and replied, "He has always been there to protect me and love me, Bank but he deserves someone that's not broken." Bankotsu watched as she looked away but he could smell the salt from her tears, he might not be a dog demon or anything but he is a mercenary demon. He sighed and said seriously, "You're not broken, Leona. You're just devastated from what happened to your parents." Leona looked at him with cold eyes and as she wiped her tears away she said, "I am and that's just how it is. You don't have to like it but you do have to deal with it." Then she look towards the parking lot to see Sesshomaru and the others pulling into the parking lot and as Sesshomaru got out of the car she looked back a Bankotsu who was looking towards the others an said, "They don't even know my true pain because I hide it. I hide everything from them and they know that I do but no one will actually push it. No one makes the effort to know. And that's what hurts the most." Before Bankotsu could say anything Leona was walking away to head inside the school and once she disappeared that's when everyone started walking towards him. Bankotsu looked at them with a smirk and seen that Sesshomaru was glaring at him making him smirk as he thought, "I guess nothing really does change."
Sesshomaru growled as he made it to Bankotsu and asked, "What did you say to her? She looked upset." Bankotsu rolled his eyes at Sesshomaru and he crossed his arms as he replied seriously, "You really are a moron. She is torn apart and thinks that she is not worth anyone's time because she thinks no one wants her or cares because no one cares enough to break down her walls and you're asking me what I did? I came back for her, Sesshomaru. I find her like this because you morons are too stupid to realize what she needs." Sesshomaru stood there dumbfounded and Bankotsu ran off towards the school to find his best friend and the girl he is hopelessly in love with. Sesshomaru took off to with everyone right behind him and Inu-Yasha said, "I told you, you asshole that she was fucked up." Sesshomaru growled at his brother and replied, "I knew but I didn't know that it was this bad." Kouga growled at what Sesshomaru said and said, "You should know by now that she hide how she feels, dog breathe." "Shut it, flea bag." Sesshomaru retorted as they ran down the hall towards her locket. As they ran around the corner they saw Leona leaning against her locker talking to Bankotsu who was standing right in front of her. They stopped in their tracks and Kagome asked, "I wonder what they are talking about." Miroku shrugged and replied, "No idea but they look like they are flirting with each other." Sesshomaru growled at that thought and said, "He better not be or I'll rip him apart. She is mine." Inu-Yasha looked at everyone an said, "We better go Sesshomaru has this under control." They left leaving Sesshomaru standing there glaring at Bankotsu as his demon growled in his head, "He is trying to steal our mate."
Leona smirked and looked up at Bankotsu as she crossed her arms and said, "Ya, I know he's jealous but why wouldn't he be? You're giving him a reason to get jealous." Bankotsu leaned down closer to her and replied with a smirk, "I can give him an even bigger reason, Leona. But he has no reason to be jealous though, you aren't actually his." "I bet you could but to him I am his, Bank. I am practically moved into his room and I sleep in the same bed with him every night." Leona said with a slight smile making Bank stand straight looking serious. "You're sleeping with him even though you aren't actually together?!" Bank stated seriously making Leona roll her eyes and reply, "It's not like we are making love or anything." Bankotsu smirked as he asked, "So, if you and fluffy did have sex, you wouldn't call it sex you would call it making love?" Leona's eyes widened realizing what she said and looked up at him as if she finally realized that her feelings were real. Bank smiled slightly at her and said seriously but sweetly, "You are in love with him, Leo. I know you're hurting and grieving but maybe what you need is to let him in to help you be happy again." Leona sighed and looked up at him with a smile as she asked, "Your probably right, Bank but what should I do?" Bank smirked and said, "Tell him how you feel. You need to let everyone know how you feel, baby girl." Leona sighed and nodded in agreement. She knew that he was right, she needed to open up and let her feelings show because she was the one not letting anyone in. She needed to let go of everything and just let herself be herself. Leona smiled a true smile and said, "Your right and I'll tell him. But I don't know how though." Bankotsu chuckled making Leona smile and she punched his shoulder. "Oww, What was that for?!" He exclaimed as he rubbed his arm. Just then Sesshomaru came walking towards her with his usual emotionless mask that he wears at school and Leona looked over at him with a smile that he hasn't seen in years. Sesshomaru smiled slightly at her which turned into surprise when Leona jumped into his arms wrapping her arms around his neck. "Happy to see me?" He asked surprised and Leona looked up at him as he set her down on her feet as she replied, "I want to talk to you later, ok?" Sesshomaru nodded and then Leona looked from Sesshomaru to Bankotsu as she said, "See ya later." Then she walked down the hall to head for her first class.
