"Well Professor, would you be so kind as to walk me to the car now that you are done sexually harassing your "prized student" as you so graciously deemed me?" I asked with a laugh.

"Hn. However do not feign annoyance when this one chooses to, as you put it, "sexually harass" you again." Sesshomaru mocked in response.

"Hmm… Well I cannot make any promises." I answered with a glowing smile.

"This one must admit that he does not understand why you must attend the same high school after living five centuries in the past. You have graduated from University many times over and have earned numerous degrees. Attending high school is pointless dribble for one such as you." Sesshomaru stated even though he already knew of her reasoning.

"I did not want people to think I had simply given up and became some kind of delinquent. How do you think my mother would have felt when people pitied her for having such a daughter when she cannot even tell them the truth?" Kagome chided.

"Plus I know that you simply love to work at all of the schools and Universities that I have attended. Honestly, every time I do so one of my professors "takes a leave of absence" and you just happen to take their place." Kagome drawled out while silently thinking that Sesshomaru must have scared them to death by releasing the seal that kept his demon markings hidden.

"The leave of absence was probably of the mental variety…" Kagome mumbled under her breath to herself. Of course he heard and his silence and avoidance to meet her eyes let her know how right she really was.

"How could this one allow his precious and absolutely delectable mate wear such a revealing uniform around hordes of adolescent males wanting a quick rut?" Sesshomaru defended in a far too innocent tone all the while his eyes showed his mirth.

"Ha! Though that may be part of the reason; I believe that you simply love your 'teacher- student-benefits' Ne, Sesshomaru?"

"This one is only protecting what belongs to this Sesshomaru. Though I must admit I have admired your sailor uniform from the first time I bore witness to it five hundred years ago. Seeing you in it now does bring up rather… enticing memories. Does it not Ka-go-me?" Sesshomaru pronounced her name in a whisper as he leaned down to her ear.

"Hn. Even after so many years my words still bring blush to your face." Sesshomaru said with a rumble deep within his chest as he opened the passenger car door helping Kagome be seated.

"Sesshomaru…" I breathed out as he slowly reached across me to buckle my seat belt. 'Of course he would "accidently" brush across my chest just so.' I thought with a smile as I began to think about our history together. 'It is rather humorous for I have the highest grade in the class; however, it is not due to the fact that my mate, or husband as my mother calls him, is my professor. Rather I have lived for the past five centuries and have experienced Japan's history first hand. Though it is baffling how misconstrued and flat out wrong most of it is! There are no records of demons, except in tales, and yet I am mated to one and carry his lifespan. So of course I could not state in my paper about how the demon, Sesshomaru Taisho, the Lord of the West mated and married to a human woman. That the great and terrible demon is now the great and terrible professor and his student is his human mate. More importantly I could not write that we now play the game of the Professor and Student.'
