Beauty and the Nerd

Never anger a woman…

Sesshomaru did not like the unexpected. He did not expect his beast to want a lowly human female. A miko nonetheless! For his beast to declare such a thing..as..mate, was a horrible thing. Sesshomaru did not like human females, did not like humans, they were too lowly for him, to…human. Yet, his beast specifically wanted this female more than any other before.

While Sesshomaru contemplated the actions of his beast, Kagome sat alone outside, nursing a wound on her shoulder. It seemed as though the school had become more hostile after her incident with Sesshomaru. Many of the girls in his fan club had seemed distressed to find out that she had assaulted his 'beautiful main of silver hair.' The whole episode ended up with her against the wall and the principal's daughter holding her against it with her fist. The girl, Kayame, repeatedly pushed her fist into her shoulder, causing scrapes as well as bruises.

Kagome sighed, and let her back hit the ground. She winced slightly when her shoulder hit the cool grass. The sun was shining and it warmed her skin. She had been walking to school, the cause of which was Sesshomaru's fault. She no longer had transportation to this school, meaning she had to walk. Yet, she still pushed. Thinking of him made her mind zero in on the episode in the cafeteria. It seemed like hours that she was sitting there, thinking over the entire thing. Her mind was drawn back to the present by the first bell ringing. Kagome sighed, pushed her glasses up her nose and gave a grimace as she felt blood trickle from her wound.

A majority of students had already filed away into the building, leaving only a few strays along with Kagome. Kagome felt the shoulder of her backpack bite into her shoulder, causing more blood to flow.

"Hey Wench!" She turned her head slightly to look behind her, catching a glimpse of InuYasha running after her. She kept walking, even picking up her stride to try to get away from hm.

"Wait up!" He fell in step beside her, carrying on the same speedy pace she had without a problem.

"What do you want?" Her voice was tense, even harsh, but she didn't care. He had made her life miserable.

"I've got a question for you," He made a grab for her shoulder, pressing down and turning her. He heard her gasp of pain and the scent of blood reached his nose. He felt a thick liquid run over his fingers, and looked down long enough to see red coming from her shirt.

"What do you want?" she lifted his hand from her shoulder, tried to ignore the throbbing pain there.

"You're….bleeding…" His voice was soft and he looked down almost sympathetically at her.

"So?" She raised her hand and made a circling gesture for him to continue on with his sentence.

"I just wanted to…" He looked up towards the school, obviously being stopped mid-sentence by something. She saw his eyes widen and his ears flick forward but didn't say anything. He than just began running towards the school, and Kagome's eyes followed him.

She followed along; she had classes to attend anyway. When she entered she heard several students screaming and watched them she heard hostile growls and barks. Silently intrigued she looked around the corner to find Sesshomaru Tashio holding his hanyou-half-brother by the neck against the wall.

"Sessho…" his voice was cut off as his brother closed his hand harder around his throat. "I didn't hurt her…" He was gasping for breath. No one around them was doing anything; the students had all left, leaving mainly youkai and instructors. Kagome noticed that Sesshomaru kept glancing down at InuYasha's hand. She cocked her head to get a glimpse and saw that, that was the hand with her blood on it. Her mind was starting to put two and two together.

'He's mad because he thinks InuYasha…hurt me?' She was befuddled by this, why would he care?

She noticed InuYasha's face was starting to turn an eerie green, making Kagome worried. She hated him, yes, but that didn't mean he should die. He didn't even hurt her! She did the only thing that came naturally; she stepped forward and yelled out Sesshomaru's name.

His head snapped toward towards her. His golden eyes were starting to bleed red, streaks blending to make a solid red with an eerie blue iris.

"You have to let him down…" She walked towards him, lifting her hand to settle it down on his arm. She saw InuYasha drop than looked at Sesshomaru. He was staring menacingly at her, making deep growls in the back of his throat. He took a step towards her and lifted his claws to take a swipe.
