Dream Keeper
Disclaimer: Don't Own Inuyasha
Chapter Two
"How long had it been now?" Inuyasha asked as he stared at Kagome's lifeless body
"One year and two days." Sesshoumaru effortlessly said
"Bro, you and I both know Kagome was a selfless person." Inuyasha started to say, "I love her like a sister, she was my best friend, but you have to move on. Kagome wouldn't want you to keep living like this. Miss her yes, but keep living."
"You know Inuyasha; you have really grown up in this past year." Sango commented
"Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha is right. I love Kagome too, so does Miroku, Rin and Shippo, she was a best friend to everyone, but she would be crying right now if she knew how you were living." Sango softly said
Sesshoumaru broke his silence, "I don't think you all know how much I loved…love her."
"We all do know, but man, you don't look good." Miroku replied, "She wouldn't want this, if not for your sake, for Kagome's."
"…" Sesshoumaru was silent, how could he let her go?
"Well I have to pick up Rin and Shippo from the library, call me if anything comes up." Sango announced
"I'll come with you Sango." Miroku said
"Okay, see you Taishos later. And I can't believe that its already summer and we are going to be in our senior year soon…I really do wish Kagome was here for it" Sango said softly
"I know, see you Sango." Inuyasha replied
Once Sango and Miroku were out of sight Inuyasha said, "You can't keep doing this to yourself… I'll see you at home."
"So you're Sesshoumaru's girlfriend?" Inuyasha rudely asked
"So you're Sesshoumaru's brother?" Kagome mockingly, but teasingly asked
"Feh. You'll be gone in a week." He replied
"Feh. You're not gone already?" Kagome answered with a smile
"Be nice! That rude mutt is Inuyasha, I'm Sango, this is Miroku and Shippo and I think you've already met Rin."
"Nice to meet most of you." she said while eyeing Inuyasha with mischief
"Feh."
"Dimwit, please stop 'Feh-ing', it is quite bothersome." His older brother said while he walked over to Kagome and sat next to her.
"Well Kagome, even though Inuyasha is rough around the edges, I think we are all going to be great friends." Sango said with a warm and welcoming smile
"Me too." Kagome responded
"Welcome back class" the principle said while standing behind the podium, "I bet you all must be rather excited for your senior year.
We have many upcoming events, fundraisers and an assortment of dances that will be announced, not to mention the annual senior class ski trip.
Also new this year, we have two exchange students from across town. Kagura Gumo and also transferring from the same school Sara Kishen.
Please be kind to them. I think that wraps up my speech for the assembly, I hope you all have a great year and I also hope I don't see anyone too much in my office."
With that the senior class scattered to their homerooms where the last year in hell would begin.
'Would Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha Taisho please report to the main office' the secretary said over the intercom
As Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha walked in their saw two pretty girls standing there next to the principal.
"This is Sesshoumaru and this is Inuyasha, they will show you around today. And Gentlemen, it's needless to say that you should remain gentlemen." The principal said
They both nodded their heads and the principal went back into his office
"Hi, I'm Kagura and I'm Sara." They both suggestively said, mostly directed towards Sesshoumaru
"I'm uninterested, now follow me or follow Inuyasha, I really don't care. But keep up, I won't wait for any of you and if you get lost, I suggest you stay that way." He dismissed
Kagura diffidently said "Fine, but the real question is can you keep up with me." She flipped her hair and flung out her mirror and dabbed some lip gloss on and said, "Let's go already… Sara, go with Inuyasha, three is a crowd."
"Bitch." Sara muttered as she followed Inuyasha who went in the opposite direction of Sesshoumaru
"You got me a kitten!" Kagome squealed
"Happy one year anniversary." Sesshoumaru said as her embraced her petite form, "What are you going to name her?"
"I'll name her after you, I think Fluffy is suitable." Kagome giggled
"I still don't understand why you insist in calling me Fluffy." Sesshoumaru assumedly said
"It just suits you and mostly because I'm the only one who can get away with It." she said with a huge grin
"Taking advantage of your privileges?"
"Oh of course!" she replied, "I don't look a gift horse in the mouth."
"I love you Kagome." he quietly, but confidently said
"I know you do, and I love you too." She smiled
"Ew! Did you see that fat pig try to pull off the BCBG top? God that was a travesty, I believe all designer clothes should be limited to people who don't look like there are eleven months pregnant." Kagura complained as she followed Sesshoumaru down the hall
"Refrain from talking, it doesn't do you justice." Sesshoumaru coldly said
"You know Taisho, by the end of the marking quarter, I'll be your girlfriend because I always do and get what I want." Kagura arrogantly said
He leaned into her ear and heatedly whispered, "you better get use to the word NO."
A wicked smile graced her face and she responded, "I love a challenge."
"Woman, stop testing my patience!" she said with anger radiating off of him
"I'll make a bet with you, anything, and if I win, I get a date. All I need is one date and you'll come begging for another."
An evil grin graced his features, "Alright…"
"Hey Lilly I love your outfit." Kagome commented with a warm smile, "Who is the designer?"
"Thank you, its BCBG." Lilly replied graciously
"Well it looks great on you and I can't thank you enough for helping me with my chemistry homework!" Kagome said
"Oh no problem, any time." She replied, "I hope we have a substitute tomorrow, Mrs. Lewis is so boring!
"I know! We'll I'll see you then, I have to go meet my Ice King." Kagome teasingly said
"Okay Kagome." She answered with a chuckle.
"There you are!" Kagome said with a sparkle in her eyes, "Where have you been?"
"I had to finish my physics test, I ran a little late." Sesshoumaru said while he put his arm around her shoulder
"It's okay." Kagome replied, "Where are we headed to?"
"My parents house for dinner." He answered, "They really like you, I don't know why though."
"Hey!" she said
"I'm kidding." He said as he kissed her forehead
"So Naraku, what brings you to this part of town?" Mr. Taisho asked his old friend
"I changed district branches, which I am glad." He answered, "The school system is much better and with my daughter is attending high school and my youngest in the middle school, my wife was more than happy to move."
"Oh your daughter attends Shikon High?" Mr. Taisho asked, "My sons do as well, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha. I'll make sure that they show her around a bit."
"My daughter would like that." Naraku replied
"And who knows, maybe your daughter and one of my sons could one day end up together and our businesses would merge." Mr. Taisho joked
'That would be too perfect.' "That would be the day." Naraku chuckled
"Father, whose car is that in the driveway," Mr. Taisho heard his son ask as he entered his house
"My old friend, Naraku Gumo." He told his eldest son
"Gumo…Any relation to Kagura?" Sesshoumaru inquired
"Yes." The strange man answered, "What did you think of my beautiful daughter?"
"I've seen more beautiful, but she is…attractive, although she is a manipulative, vindictive and self-absorbed person." He nonchalantly answered
"Sesshoumaru Taisho!" He heard his father yell, "You better apolo…
"No, no, old friend. I rather like honesty and boldness in a man." He said as he eyed Sesshoumaru, "I do agree at times my daughter needs to be put in her place, I think you would be…good for her."
"And your opinion is meaningless to me." Sesshoumaru dismissed and walked to his room leaving his fuming father and an unwanted new acquaintance
"Sesshou…I'm so sorry…" Kagome quietly said
"…Kagome…she's gone, my mother is gone." Sesshoumaru inaudibly said, his pride wouldn't let his glossy eyes shed tears, but he could when he was with Kagome. He knew that he could trust her with anything.
"…it's okay to cry, it's only little old me." Kagome whispered as she sat next to him, "There was nothing anyone could do, she had cancer…It was in god's hands. At least you know she lived a happy and long life…Mourn her, miss her yes…but celebrate her. She was an amazing person and loved you and your family and even me with everything she was."
"…thank you Kagome…" Sesshoumaru said as he embraced her, letting a tear trail down his porcelain cheek
"Hey bro, I hear that new girl has her eyes on you." Inuyasha commented as they sat in the den that night
"So what?" he irritably replied
"I'm not saying to have a big epic relationship like you did with Kagome, but just one date, get back in the game." Inuyasha said
"Don't you disrespect Kagome by mentioning her name with a girl you think I should go have 'fun' with in the same sentence." Sesshoumaru growled
"I have all the respect for her bro, that's why I'm telling you to get back in the game, remember what everyone said this summer?" Inuyasha replied
"…One date." He dismissed, mostly to get his brother to shut the hell up 'only if she hold up her end of the deal we made.'
"Happy Christmas." Kagome said
"Don't you mean Merry Christmas?" Sesshoumaru asked with a quirked eyebrow
"This is your second Christmas together, don't you know my silly holiday traits by now?" she said with a tiny grin
"Of course, your silly traits are the more entertaining qualities you have." Sesshoumaru replied
"Thanks…I think." Kagome answered with some mischief in her eyes, "I think we are standing under some mistletoe."
"Is that so." He said as he glanced up to find his entire bedroom ceiling cover in a bed of mistletoe
"I guess this means we have a lot of ground to cover." He said as he picked her up and placed her on his bed
