To Be The Man
"Hey, at least she knows what to do when I skeet skeet," a round of laughter went through the guys standing by their lockers.
"So I told her, baby work it out. She looks at me and says 'lick or suck'. I like fell in love with this girl. She's like all over me and when I whip my shit out she's stunned," Bankotsu was telling the guys another one of his escapades and everyone within ear shot was listening.
"She asks me what I feed it, 'pussy' was all I said and I took her from behind," more laughter followed.
"Sesshomaru, where were you yesterday? I saw you with Sam, finally got some?" Hiten asked as they left their lockers and made their way to the lunch room.
"Wasn't my type, plus Kagome came over looking for Inuyasha, kind of ruined the mood," Sesshomaru had decided to tell them a half truth. He wouldn't tell them what happened between himself and Kagome but he wasn't going to straight out lie.
"Damn! Sam is hot, how can she not be your type?" Jakotsu asked as everyone slipped into each of their seats at their regular table.
"I have a new object of my affections." He left no more room for conversation on the topic but they still persisted.
"Who?"
Sesshomaru didn't answer, instead he chose to take out his wallet and find his lunch money.
"Well at least tell us if Sam is on the market," Bankotsu said. Sesshomaru shrugs his shoulder, telling them he didn't care. Bankotsu stood up, smoothed down his shirt and walked to the other end of the cafeteria and shouted:
"Hey Sam!" Sesshomaru shook his head and stood up, the boys stood too.
"What's for lunch?" Sesshomaru asked as they made their way outside the cafeteria and towards the lunch line.
"No clue." They stood in line and waited as the line got shorter; Bankotsu joined the line moments later, smirking in triumph. Damn, Sam must be easier than they thought.
"Back so soon?" Hiten asked leaning against the wall.
"Yes and with jolly news, at least jolly for our man Sesshomaru. It looks like your seventeen year sex hiatus is over my man; Sam's got the h-o-t-s for you, and only you. But she did tell me quite a tale!" the boys looked at him telling him to continue, Sesshomaru stayed quiet.
"Later," Bankotsu promised. They heard the clicking of shoes and turned around to see Kagome, Miroku, Inuyasha and Sango making their way towards the dwindling lunch line.
"You never called me last night, Kagome. If I didn't know any better I'd say you got a new best friend."
"No, just a hot new boy toy!"
Sango and Kagome giggled but soon stopped when they saw the lunch line was filled with Sesshomaru's friends. They quieted down and took up a spot on the line, talking quietly to themselves.
"Hey Inuyasha, how's it hanging?" Hiten asked while the other guys chuckled.
"Fuck off man." Was all Inuyasha said and his friends stared at him in apprehensively; he never really defended himself too well when it came to his brothers friends. A few curses here and there then a brawl would start, ending only when Sesshomaru told his friends to stop.
"How's Kikyou doing? She looked pretty good last night, isn't that right guys?" Hiten continued without remorse; he knew Inuyasha's weak spots: Kikyou and Kagome.
"I said get the fuck off my back! Kikyou wouldn't do shit with a bastard like you," Inuyasha had removed himself him the wall and was now standing in front of Hiten. Kagome couldn't ignore the warning signs; Inuyasha was ready to fight for Kikyou's honor. Kagome stepped behind Inuyasha and laid her hand upon his shoulder, gently but firmly.
"Inuyasha, you and I both know where Kikyou was last night. So let's just leave ok?" Inuyasha remained standing but his stance eased up.
"What ever," he then turned to Sesshomaru and Hiten.
"Tell your jack ass friends to leave my girl friend alone," was all he said to Sesshomaru. Kagome sighed, what was with Inuyasha today? He didn't always go picking fights and when he did it meant he was taking his feelings, usually anger, and turning it into something he could control.
"Little brother, I think it's fine time you stand up for yourself. Be a fucking man," Kagome's head snapped up to focus on Sesshomaru's face. He wasn't looking at anyone; he held his head high and stared ahead.
"I'm a better man than you!" Inuyasha whispered angrily, his fingers cracking as he squeezed his hands into a fist.
"The day you're a better man than me is the day when Bankotsu starts fucking guys," Sesshomaru used a controlled tone, warning his brother not to continue. Inuyasha smiled.
"Well according to Naraku's cousin Kagura I'm the better man," Kagura had let that slip to Kikyou and Kikyou had told him because well that's what girls do. Inuyasha had been saving that for three months, two weeks and a few days, he had wanted to say it sooner but knew he should hold onto that as a wild card maybe even black mail and he was glad he had waited, the look on his brother's face was priceless and Bankotsu looked more than pissed.
"You got to be shitting me!"Hiten stared at Bankotsu in speculation and disgust.
"Fuck off, I was drunk! You know that freak would have sex with anything!"
"But still! That is the sickest thing in the world," Jakotsu murmured then whispered,
"That bitch said I was special!" everyone looked at him in shock, wondering if he was kidding.
"Tell me you guys are fucking around. This shit isn't funny," Sesshomaru's tone spoke his anger. He didn't give a shit that Jakotsu may or may not have had man sex; he needed to know if Bankotsu had man sex, his honor was on the line; he would never be lower than his brother. His first born status proved that.
Bankotsu didn't answer and his silence only made Sesshomaru angrier. He turned to Inuyasha and gave him the once over, he looked like an idiot. He didn't represent the house hold he came from and that pissed Sesshomaru off more than anything else, that and the fact that he got to be around Kagome almost twenty four seven.
His eyes then floated her way but instead of blushing and turning her head like he hoped she would, she stared right at him with disappointment in her eyes. Sesshomaru sighed, showing his resignation, he then turned to his friends, nodded his head (telling them to follow) and walked past them without another word.
"Good job Inuyasha!" Sango patted his shoulder; he smiled at her and turned to Miroku.
"You don't know how long I've been saving that!" he grinned and looked over at Kagome who smiled when his eyes reached her form.
"Good job. I think I'll skip lunch, I have to finish something in the library," and with that she walked down the hall.
"See you in class Kagome!" Sango shouted out to her, Kagome waved without turning. Kagome sighed as she turned a corner. Maybe it was just her being silly but she thought Sesshomaru would be a little nicer to Inuyasha now that she and he were trying to become friends. But he did seem to a little bit more big brotherly; telling Inuyasha to be a man, though in her opinion that was harsh.
Plus he just let his friends say nasty things about Kikyou, who was so far from scandalous it was crazy! She rarely went out, she stayed to herself most of the time and she prayed all the time; she was so reserved and together Kagome wondered if she did normal things like shopping with friends or even sang in the shower! The only reason they even knew Kikyou was because Inuyasha had mistaken her for Kagome while in the library.
They weren't that much a like, not even in appearances. Kikyou looked older and more mature; which she was, and Kagome was more kid like and acted out when she felt like it. Kikyou was always together, where as Kagome was a bit more carefree; the only way to get them confused was to see them from behind.
Kagome shook her head in an effort to get rid of the thoughts, no longer was she jealous; she knew that for sure but sometimes she wished she could live Kikyou's life for a day and see how it is on the other side.
She threw the courier bag to her right, not looking away from him. She strode over to him with determination in her features; desire in her eyes.She stopped in front of him, surveying him through her curly lashes; her lips cracked a dazzling smile.
"How do you want this?"She asked and Sesshomaru reached out, daring to touch her and before he knew it he had her lips presses against his softly at first until she pressed harder, her tongue upon his lips and soon his mouth. He groaned in pleasure and pulled away and smiled at him.
"Miss me?" she asked, her nail raked his chest leaving harsh red lines in their wake.
That's when Sesshomaru woke up… damn. He knew sex dreams where normal, especially for boys but he never enjoyed the waking up part. Apart from the dreams very pleasing it always left him with hard ass morning wood. He hated the thought of having to jerk off in the shower, it just wasn't his style; even if he was a virgin he tried to stray from masturbation. The fact was that he could have any girl he wanted, he just didn't want anyone, other than Kagome that is.
It had been almost a week and he hadn't talk to Kagome once. He and the guys were giving each other their space; most were still freaked about Bankotsu and Naraku. Sesshomaru couldn't care less now, he was reluctant to admit it but he was somewhat lonely and wanted to talk to Kagome.
He was on his way to class that morning when he saw it, Bankotsu and Naraku hugging in a corner! His mind just couldn't handle it so it wasn't his fault when a gasp slipped from his lips. They quickly pulled apart in shock. Bankotsu was the first to speak.
"It's not what you think!" Sesshomaru merely shook his head and held up his hands.
"It's not my business—"
"But it really isn't how it looks, we were just putting our differences aside, see I had just punched Naraku—"
"I've had a long week, whatever you do is your business; just don't let it become public knowledge," here he stopped to give the pair the once over and promptly continued on his way to home room. He was going to pretend that never happened; he needed to focus on his own problems. Like how to get Kagome Higurashi to be his girl, Bankotsu and his shit could wait.
A/N: Short and nothing really happened, so I'm very sorry about that. I've had this chapter, believe it or not, for about 2 months but it didnt feel finished but I think you guys have waited long enough. I'm not going back to school until friday so I'll another chapter up by then, I promise!
It keeps my moral up if you review, friendly advise is always welcomed. Please tell me what you think of this chapter because I'm not too fond of it.
Loves it,
Raceen.
