Pansy's Jealousy, and the Relationship Goes On…
Pansy tapped her foot impatiently, Malfoy had gone into the hospital wing and it had already been 10 minutes since he came out, it shouldn't take so long for him to see whether or not she was well. At the same time, why were all the professors so concerned about Kagome? She especially seemed to get special treatment from Dumbledore, who had gone as far as to tell Malfoy to give her something to wish her well.
"She's nothing but an annoying bitch…" Pansy gritted her teeth in anger.
Then there was a scream, and the sound of something slamming against a human body.
"GET OUT, YOU JERK!" Kagome screamed.
The hospital wing door slammed open as Malfoy raced out of the hospital wing, a huge pillow falling at the door, just short of hitting him.
"Draco Are you alright? I'll go inside and teach her a lesson!" Pansy moved over to hold Malfoy's arm, only to be roughly pushed away.
"I'm fine."
Pansy started, when did Malfoy start acting so cold towards her? She concluded that it must have something to do with Kagome, and so the green-eyed monster called Jealousy started growing within her.
"I'm sorry okay! I didn't mean to do it!" Malfoy protested to the hospital wing, only to be replied with a slam of the door as Kagome used her miko powers to close the door.
Inside the room, Kagome huffed and stared angrily at the mirror across the room, not even aware that her gaze was emitting power until the glass shattered. Somehow, the stool that Malfoy had been sitting on had managed to slip. And somehow, Malfoy had managed to fall on her…chest… Obviously she hadn't been too happy with it, so she slapped Malfoy hard on the cheek and proceeded to chuck pillows at him using her powers.
"Oh, dear!" Madam Pomfrey said when she returned to her work station.
There were pillows thrown all over the place, and there were broken pieces of glass scattered by the windowsill.
"Well, since you're strong enough to throw around such large objects, I'm sure that you're well enough to get out of the hospital wing." She said flatly.
Kagome groaned, damn Malfoy for making her loose her temper. Now she was kicked out of the hospital wing and couldn't have further rest before going to her classes. Reluctantly taking all the packs of chocolate and flowers she had received, Kagome walked back to the Slytherin dorm, complaining about arrogant pricks and perverted assholes.
"Wait a second…Kagome…Higurashi."
Kagome whirled around, spotting Pansy at the side with a few of the Slytherins she recognized, all people who had once bullied her under Malfoy's command. She didn't need this right now; she had just recovered and had released too much power throwing pillows at Malfoy.
"We can't have you spoiling Draco you know, with that disgusting mudblood hand of yours. You aren't even qualified to touch him!" Pansy snarled, jealousy clouding her thoughts of hearing that they had slept together in the cave when hiding from rain.
"Mudblood? Your brain sure needs some fixing up, Pansy. For your information, I'm far from being a mudblood. As for qualifying to touch Malfoy, that is absolutely none of your business." Kagome started creating a tentacle as she said this.
She hoped that her powers would last long enough. This time the tentacles were hollow, so they were relatively weaker. Kagome hoped that it would still seem strong, and that twit Pansy wouldn't notice.
"Use your wand Pansy, or you wouldn't stand a chance," Kagome grinned.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII With Dumbledore and…Snovey?... IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"You still don't like the Malfoys don't you? You were the Higurashi family protector for at least 400 years, and yet your hatred never dimmed, when will your anger towards them end?" Dumbledore sighed.
Snovey looked away, her eyes mixed with a series of emotions, "Kagome wouldn't get to close to Draco if she knew the true identity of the Malfoys. Murderers…they're murderers! They have been responsible for the deaths of the Higurashi family. Blood…there was blood everywhere!"
Dumbledore looked at the wolf cub, who was in reality the oldest of all creatures. How could he forget? The Malfoys who worked for Voldemort…they had slaughtered all the Higurashi because of their hatred towards the pure clan. Then for years…when they found out that his great-grandfather had survived the slaughter…they set to killing the remaining Higurashi as if it were a tradition.
Kagome's aunts had all been drawn to the Malfoys, each and one of them claiming that they loved the Malfoy, and in the end all of them had died by the magic of the Malfoys. Now with Voldemort in act, they were even more eager to destroy the clan who was Voldemort's natural enemy.
"Even if I did let go of my anger, the slaughter would continue. Who knows whether or not Draco had already received an order to destroy Kagome? They are only 13, but even friendship could kill a Higurashi. Not to mention, in reality Kagome has the mind of a 16 year old. I won't allow it…I won't allow Draco near Kagome. I've failed many of the past Higurashi women, and I won't do it again!" Snovey walked off, her body grew bigger as it did so.
"You're maturing with anger…it's not good…it's better for wolf cubs to mature naturally when they reach 600 years old, not to force their own growth." Dumbledore murmured.
Snovey looked back one last time, "It doesn't matter as long as Kagome is protected."
Dumbledore went back to his paperwork with a heavy heart; he knew that trouble would be coming along.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Back with Kagome and Pansy IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Kagome's knee dropped onto the floor as one of Marcus Flint's magic hit her accurately on her thigh. Dammit, he had noticed that her powers were weak. Seems as if Pansy was smart enough to bring someone with more experience in battle with her…Kagome inwardly thought.
At this rate, she wouldn't last long before having to return to Madam Pomfrey. In her jealousy, Pansy had totally thrown away the rule about no magic in the hallway, and even Marcus had decided to follow suite. He was annoyed, highly annoyed with this girl who had broken Slytherins' harmony.
Kagome suppressed a scream as the next blows fell onto her form, her powers weakling flickering around. If this continued on, she would be out for days.
"What are you doing?" an icy voice cut in right when Kagome's vision started to blur.
Spotting Malfoy standing by the Slytherin entrance, Pansy hurriedly hid her wand. "N-No, it's not like what you see Draco! We just wanted to give her a lesson – "
Malfoy growled, "I'm the one who decides whether someone is punished in Slytherin."
He reached over to pull Kagome up, only to be resisted with a swipe of her arm despite its inaccuracy.
"Go away; you're just one of them! Stop acting like you care!" Kagome bit out.
"Just shut up, girl," Malfoy ignored her, pulling her up and tugging her in so that she rested against his chest.
"Listen here, nobody, and I mean nobody will lay a hand on her," with those words, he tightened his hold on her.
Everyone, including Kagome, was confused of his actions. It was true that he had literally 'saved' her in the rain a few days ago, yet it was still no reason for him to act so…protective over her. Should she be careful of his intentions? Was he planning something else?
Ignoring the gaping faces of his fellow Slytherins, Malfoy proceeded to carry Kagome back to her dorm, ignoring the rule about boys not being entering the girls' dorms. If anyone mentioned it, then he would mention the bullying of the other Slytherins. After all, which was more important?
Snovey bristled when she saw Malfoy bringing Kagome into her dorm. Did Kagome not pay attention to her words? She glowered at the tender sight of Malfoy putting Kagome on her bed and covering her up, apparently not…
"Go…away…" Kagome said weakly, she could barely make out the figure of Malfoy.
"Go to sleep. You wasted too much energy."
"Snovey…" Kagome mumbled.
Snovey immediately went over and curled up underneath her arms, snuggling beside her. Before she closed her eyes those, she glared at Malfoy with her queer brown orbs. Malfoy stilled at the sight of her, the wolf seemed too intelligent for her own good. She didn't seem like an ordinary pet that a witch would have, or was it just because the owner was Kagome?
"I'll be leaving." He said, keeping his eyes on Snovey.
Her eyes seemed to narrow at this, and he briefly wondered if he was imagining things. Surely a pet would not be able to understand what he was actually saying? When Malfoy left, he was unaware that the wolf had understood his words, and was contemplating about what had just occurred.
"Like moth drawn to fire…indeed. No wonder the past Higurashi women fell for the Malfoys. Acting all gentle when their actions should be questioned." Snovey muttered bitterly.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Slytherin Lounge IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Why did you stop us, Draco?" Marcus Flint questioned.
"It's none of your business, Marcus." Malfoy said seriously, staring right back at him.
"It is my business, when my Slytherin brother is doing something out of ordinary because of a simple Japanese transfer student. At the same time, we're not even sure whether or not she's a mudblood," he sneered.
Malfoy stiffened, "She's not."
"So now Malfoy is getting so close to her that he knows the details? Do you also know what food she likes to eat?" Marcus raised his voice.
"I don't believe that's any of your business. If you don't shut up, I think that you'll be leaving the Quidditch team," he threatened, knowing that his father held the power to do exactly as he wanted.
"Don't think Professor Snape won't know."
Malfoy stilled at this, he knew that Snape detested Kagome. If he knew about their little relationship, it was no doubt that Snape would make her life even worse than what she was currently handling.
"Stay away from her if you don't wish for Snape's cruelty pointed more directly at her. Act as you had before," with that, Marcus left with a sweep of his robes.
Malfoy tightened his fist; he couldn't bring more trouble to Kagome, not when she had trusted him at the most vulnerable times. Well, she didn't exactly trust him, but her powers hadn't flared out to burn him. He wanted to cling onto this relationship, because it was the first time that any girl had allowed him near them without the influence of his father. Pansy for example, wouldn't have any contact with him if his father had not had great influence in the school.
Kagome…Kagome wouldn't care about that.
Or so he thought.
He didn't wish to trouble her.
But he didn't want to stay away from her either.
And then right at that moment.
A decision was made.
I'll protect her from whatever happens. Malfoy vowed.
A vow that he wasn't so sure he could keep, but would do his best to keep.
End.
AN: The rest of the story is still in planning, because Consequences is one of those stories that a light bulb had lit up and I thought the idea was brilliant…so it's not planned yet. Also, my May break has ended TT and there will be a less frequent update…sorry about that, but I also need to get my schoolwork done! Thanks for reading my story and please review
