Amaya:
I ran into the house past my aunt and uncle (they are actually my care takers but I call them aunt and uncle) and dashed up the stairs into my room.
'What was that? And why there?' I groaned loudly and threw my bag across the room. "Stupid bag! Stupid mark! Why is this happening to me?!" There was a knocking on my door and I opened the door to see my aunt with worried eyes.
After the incident and some time spent with my therapist they decided it was best for me to stay with my caretakers until I graduated or it was decided that I was not "Crazy" anymore.
"Sorry auntie." I said as I allowed her to enter. "I was just a little frustrated." I sat on my bed and she sat next to me.
"It's alright my dear, everything will be alright." She said as she drew me into a hug. "Do you want me to get you some tea?"
I nodded in her shoulder and she got up to get me some tea. A little while after she came back holding not just tea but also some cookies. She knew me too well.
I took it from her and she sat down on my study chair.
"What is happening to you my child?"
"Oh it's nothing really."
"Now, now you don't have to lie to me. I can see it in your eyes, you're troubled."
I sighed. "It's just that college is a little stressful and I don't want to repeat another semester." I didn't have the heart to tell her what was happening because I didn't want her to worry or even cause the man to lose his job because I was slightly weirded out by him.
She nodded thinking deeply of what to say. "My dear, do not let this stress you, and if you have to repeat, your grandfather will pay for you."
I looked up at her. "You know how I feel about that. It is bad enough that I have to go and have dinner with the man twice a month until I graduate. I do not want to suffer through that for another semester."
She looked at me and I knew what she was going to say. I sighed again. "I know, I know, he had a change of heart and I should forgive him." I looked down in my glass and I felt a hand rest on my shoulder (Thankfully it was not the one with the mark that would be awkward).
"We are here for you, uncle and I, and you also have your mothers' sister. So don't worry and I know you will get through this." She left and closed the door behind her leaving me to ponder on too many things. I eventually gave up and laid on my bed accepting the sleep that came.
Sesshomaru:
'That vile woman dared to touch me?!'
Angry coursed through my body. If my powers weren't suppressed I would have slammed her into the wall. Don't get me wrong I am still pretty strong, but I wanted the force of my powers to show with the toss. I inhaled and exhaled deeply calming myself. I was not about to lose it because some bitch had her eyes on me. It was not the first time, but by the gods I hoped it would be the last because I wanted Amaya by my side to show everyone that I was not available to the public. Even though I never was. It was too bad though, I couldn't follow her scent because for one it was already gone and two my powers were suppressed. I would like to take off the chain but that would require me dying my hair black all over again which is a pain in the ass. I headed home and there I decided what I could possibly do to get her to remember me.
"You."
"What is it now?"
"Can you not talk to a woman?"
"Hmmm… next time help me out then….wait we are the same person so you couldn't have done better."
Silence
"I thought so. Stop bothering me."
He left and I sat on my couch trying to figure out my next step. I decided it would be best to keep my distance and slowly work my way into her life.
Amaya:
I woke up actually feeling refreshed and happy. Tuesdays are actually my shortest days because I only had two classes one of them unfortunately being Japanese history. It was 10 a.m. but my first class started at 1. I rolled out of bed, took a shower (was very careful not to touch my mark too much, don't worry I didn't do anything thankfully) and grabbed the breakfast my aunt left me. By then end of all this it was 12 so I headed to the university. The train ride was short since I lived ten minutes away by train. When I got there I headed to the library.
'At least here I would have some peace and quiet.'
I looked around for more books on Japanese folklore. As I skimmed through rows of books one odd looking one grabbed my attention. I pulled the book from its resting place and behind the frame was Sesshomaru. I yelped in surprise and got a warning hush from the librarian.
"What are you doing here?" I whispered
"I am a history teacher and the library is my domain."
"Of course." I said as I rolled my eyes. "Are you stalking me? That's weird, I will pepper spray you."
He looked at me through narrow eye lids. His amber eyes seemed to dance with amusement.
"You know Amaya you're a very interesting young lady."
I blushed but was thankful he could not see that. "And you are and annoyingly weird teacher."
He gasp slightly and smiled a devilish smile. It seemed slightly odd but it was still really sexy. My eyes trailed his lips and for some reason I really wanted to kiss him. 'Is he flirting with me?' I was pulled out of my trance with his words.
"How am I weird? I only came for a book to gain knowledge to bestow upon my students."
He pulled a book from the shelf and left without another word.
My heart was beating a little too fast. I looked at my watch. 'Shit! Its 12:55, I'm going to be late for my class DAMIT!' I let out a frustrated groan and dashed out the library. The librarian was yelling something but I was too busy running to hear.
Sesshomaru:
I smirked to myself as I watched her dash threw the doors of the library.
'Still the same Amaya.'
I placed the book back on its shelf and headed to my office to do some paperwork and figure out what I wanted to teach the class today. Fortunately my office is in a place where I can have peace and not be disturbed by the rest of the teachers. I personally requested it because well I'm a loner. I heard a knock on my door.
"Enter."
"Well hello Sesshomaru-senpai."
"How can I help you Emiko-san."
'This woman again, she is becoming a nuisance.'
"Oh I just came…. You know for a little help….. in class I mean." She stuttered slightly.
I looked her over but it seemed as if she really needed the help so I helped her. I walked her out the door and before I could close the door she turned as kissed me. I was a little too shocked and when I looked up Amaya was there staring at me. I could see the hurt and anger in her eyes as she turned and walked away as if she didn't see anything.
With anger filling me to the core I grabbed the little bitch by her shoulders and slammed her in the wall.
"Did I not tell you to never touch me?" She nodded her head. "So why did you do that."
"You left me signals last time so I thought you were into me."
I looked at her. "How is me telling you not to touch me a signal."
"It was not your words but your touch." I released her the moment she said that. I calmed myself because I knew if I didn't I would hurt her or even worse kill her and that would leave a bad rep. I stepped back.
"Let me make this clear as crystal, I am married, I have a wife, so do not touch me or ever do something like that again. Do you hear me?!"
"Yes sir." She said looking like a dear in headlights and scampered off to god only knows where.
Amaya:
'How could I think for one second that he looked sexy? Wait?! As a matter of fact why did I think he was flirting with me in the library? I hate him so much!' My heart ached the moment those thoughts came to my mind. I sighed. 'This is annoying.' I remembered I had therapy to go to so I went and grabbed lunch and headed to her office.
"How are you today Amaya?" My therapist Aya said. She has basically become like a big sister to me but I still kept a lot of things from her.
"Eh…. The usual, annoyed at the fact that I have to have dinner with my grandfather tonight. I think my Japanese history teacher is hot, but I mean he is my tea-.."
"Wow, wow, wow, you never told me that you had the hots for Inu-sama."
My head flew up and embarrassment flooded my body, sadly she is the only one who could read my body signals.
"Ahh you're embarrassed. You can't fool me Amaya. You like him and you don't like anyone. I mean not after that incident. Speaking of, have you been having any weird dreams about it lately?"
"Ah… no." 'I mean it is not a lie it has been a different dream.'
"Are you sure?" She eyed me.
"Yeah I am." She looked me over and I prayed that she could not smell the slight lie in the air.
"Ok, Ok so tell me about the teacher."
"I…. well….. Ok I think he is pretty hot, but all the girls flock him. You know I like history but I can never talk to him one on one. So today I saw him in the library and I swore that he was flirting with me, but I never got to call him out on it because I was late for class. So I decided I was going to talk to him in his office and when I get there that bitch Emiko was kissing him!" I was so mad, hurt, jealous and annoyed.
"Ok, ok calm down. Do you think it may have been a misunderstanding like she kissed him and he did not kiss her back?"
"Arghh…" I said as I held my head in my hands and started to pace.
"Would you quit pacing? It's making me nervous." I sat down on the chair. "Inu-sama does not look like the type of guy who would flirt with one and kiss another."
I knew she was right. She is the type of woman who can read a person in a flash. I have seen her done it many times when we hang out (ya know non-formal and shit) and she nailed it. It was truly amazing. I calmed down after that and told myself that I was probably overreacting (I mean we all do that from time to time).
Therapy ended and I hugged her good-bye. Class started at 5 and it was only 4 so I decided to just go in the room. I sat in my usual spot and stared out of the window. About 30 minutes later Emiko and her posy entered the room. I ignored them but I could hear them talking.
"He said he has a wife." Emiko said.
"Pssh…. When has that ever stopped you?" One of her posy whose name I think is Akane or something like that said.
"No, this time he was scary looking, like a demon or some shit. I'm not gonna mess with him anymore. I don't wanna be murdered so something."
"Did he threaten you?" Another girl said. She shook her head no.
I listened and with every word my heart sank. 'Married he was MARRIED!' I turned my head to see Emiko looking at me. She had a devilish smile on her face, but I could see the hurt in her eyes. 'Even the she witch can feel hurt and pain.'
"Now that he's married neither of us can have him."
"I'm not a whore like you so don't put me in the same boat."
"What did you say bitch?!"
"You heard me." She stomped up the stairs up to me, invading my personal space.
"Run that by me again?"
"I said I am not a whore like you and can you please move your breath is frying the hairs off my eyebrow." She shrieked and slapped me. I blinked and in a flashed I punched her in the face sending her down the steps. Her friends looked up at me surprised. I picked up my bag and swung it over my left shoulder and walked out the room. I was surprisingly calm.
'I didn't know I had it in me.'
As I walked out I saw him. I looked at him with slight disgust and hate. He called me and I said, "Don't ever call my name in your filthy mouth again. I hope your wife enjoys your company." I walked home feeling hurt and betrayed.
