::Chapter seven; Courting::
Kagome sprinted through the halls, hot tears streaming down her face. Kagome looked around with her teary eyes for a place to hide. Kagome turned corners until she found a door that read staff only. Not caring for the consequences, Kagome pushed through the door and ran up the stairs. Kagome kept climbing the stairs seeing more doors that connected to the upper levels of the school. Upon reaching the final door at the top, Kagome felt her legs taking the pressure of the constant climbing. Kagome bent over huffed, feeling her heart beating ultra fast. Once Kagome caught her breath, she reached for the handle. Turning it, she pushed it open and stumbled. Feeling a breeze, Kagome smiled have memories return. She was on the roof, which was her favorite place during middle school. Kagome walked slowly to the edge and peered over the sky. Kagome could feel her anger and sadness dripping away. The cool breeze lifted her spirits and eased her pain. Kagome tucked a strand behind her ear. Kagome could hear the bell ringing, signaling it was time for class, but she couldn't show her face for a while. Kagome felt as if people would stare for what she did, which scarred her. She hated getting stared at, getting starred at meant something was wrong with her. Kagome pushed away those thoughts and continued to look out into the horizon.
She didn't hear the door open and close.
Kagome felt strange that instant. Kagome lowered her head. She felt something in her presence, some evil aura. Kagome instantly turned around to see who the meaning of this presence was. Kagome's eyes widened at the sight of the man she did not want to see today. Naraku.
Naraku grinned at her startled look. Kagome was speechless at this grin. It was the same one from her nightmares. Kagome stood in shock, and then realized how silly she must be. Kagome regained her composure and crossed her arms across her chest. She gave him a cocky look and knocked her hip to the side.
"What do you want?" She growled, trying to act serious. Naraku only chuckled at her attempt. He found it rather amusing at her cockiness; it was rather cute in his eyes. Naraku allowed his eyes to feast upon this girl's body. Her legs were her best feature in his opinion. They seemed to go on forever, but he wouldn't let her looks get to him just yet. He had to focus.
Kagome saw his eyes wandering her body; she began to blush furiously. "Oi! Put your eyes back in your head! Stop checking me out!" She shouted and attempted to cover her body with her hands. Naraku averted his eyes to her eyes. She looked straight back into them.
She suddenly had the lightheaded feeling as if she was going to faint. Kagome felt her legs give out from under her and she began to fall forward. Kagome made a small faint sound as she fell. Kagome closed her eyes, feeling no strength to catch herself. Kagome was destined to hit the ground, but she fell gently into two strong arms. Kagome's head landed softly against a hard object. After a moment, Kagome raised her head up and looked into the eyes of the demon. Naraku held her in his strong arms, staring down into her sapphire eyes. Kagome fell once again into his trance. Kagome felt the world stop around her and strangely enough, Naraku felt it too. Kagome pushed herself from Naraku and straightened herself up. Silence rained over the two. Kagome moved away from the boy, but he suddenly disappeared. Kagome gasped stepping back. Kagome felt her back press against a familiar wall. She shot around and saw Naraku smiling seductively at her. Kagome felt fear soar through her body. She starred deep into the eyes of the monster of her nightmares. Naraku moved in closer. Kagome backed up, unsure what to do next.
'run.' And with that thought, she turned around and sprinted for the door. Her legs that still haven't healed from the abusive stairs were feeling the push. Kagome didn't look back at him. When she came close to the door, two giant tentacles jumped in front of it. Kagome skidded to a halt and shot around, panting. Naraku wasn't more than a foot away from her now. Gasping, Kagome feel to the ground in shock. Naraku chuckled at the little mouse.
"You're so predictable little miko." He kneeled to a squatting position in front of her. "Always scared of the world I see." He lifted his hand and she winced, shutting her eyes. He stopped with the wind. Not feeling his touch Kagome opened her eyes. His hand hovered near her face but his face was something that frightened her. She studied his face like a piece of art. His face held the expression of disappointment, fear, and sadness. Kagome could feel his pain, his fury, his neglect. His emotions seemed to transfer over to her, and felt guilt for running away. Naraku retracted his hand, averting his eyes from Kagome. Kagome felt her heart drop from the guilt. Naraku began to straighten up, but a force stopped him.
Kagome reached up and grabbed his hand. Naraku's eyes shot towards her and widened at her face. Kagome was smiling. Inside of his body, he could feel his heart beat fast. It pumped at a quick rate, that it began to pinch.
"Stay. Talk to me." Kagome smiled and slightly tilted her head. Naraku was only shocked. Kagome stood up slowly and clutched his hand. She pulled him over to the rail and pulled him into a sitting position. Kagome sat in Indian style while Naraku had one leg bent and one straight. Kagome could feel an awkward vibe coming off the boy. It bothered her. Kagome looked and saw him looking straight at her with a very very confused face. Kagome blushed slightly and put her head between her knees. A moment or two of silence was over them.
"You told me to stay. Now talk." Naraku said in annoyance. He moved his eyes to the sky, which deeply resembled an ocean of nothingness. Kagome glared at him.
"You're the one who wanted me to stay! You blocked my way!" She barked, he looked at her once again, glaring himself. Kagome felt a shiver go down her spine from his eyes. They seemed to be painted with pure hatred and evil. Then Kagome hid her fear and huffed. She turned her head away from him. Kagome looked around the sky, searching for an answer for her problem. She wants to fix this boy, but she doesn't know how. Kagome sighed.
'This is going to be difficult.' Feeling the cold stare of the demon, Kagome stiffened a bit. Her action amused the boy. Kagome turned her head, not much though. She only wanted to get at a peak at him. His ruby eyes, pierced her sapphire one. Kagome could feel a familiar chill go up and down her spine. Shaking the feeling, she nervously smiled at him.
"So umm why did you come to Yuki High?" Kagome was in desperate need of a conversation to get the awkward feeling to lift. Naraku smiled and turned his head away from her. Kagome studied his profile while waiting for his answer. He was handsome at every angle it seemed. He looked like a prince that had just stepped out a story book right into reality.
"Why do you wanna know?" He asked his voice calm and silky. Kagome could see the smile that was on his face, showing he wasn't upset about the question, and maybe wanted to share his story.
"Well, I was just wondering why here? Why not an all demon school for powerful demons?" Kagome heard him chuckle at her questions. Kagome felt the space between them decrease as he shot his face closer to her own. Kagome took in quick intake of air. Naraku could smell her cherry blossom perfume emitting from her body. It was intoxicating.
"Is that the real reason? Or are you lying?" Naraku smirked at her anxious face. Kagome began to turn a bright red. Naraku lifted his fingers under her chin and raised her small face up, making her look deeper into her eyes. Kagome could feel seduction wrapping her in his soul. Kagome felt herself submitting to his piercing gaze. Kagome's eyes narrowed as Naraku tilted his head slightly, aligning his lips with hers. Kagome felt the pressure building in her heart and she could feel his warm breath tickle her lips. Naraku leaned every so slowly up to her lips. Their lips were only a few centimeters apart when….
"Oi! You kids can't be up here!"
Kagome's eyes widened and she turned crimson in embarrassment. She shoved her hand forward and pushed Naraku away. His face remained in her small palm as she turned to the holder of the voice. One of the school's janitors stood in a gray outfit that looked very dirty. Kagome began sweating in embarrassment at what just happen.
'What I really just about to kiss Naraku? The supposed to be enemy?'
Naraku put his hand on hers and pulled it off his face. Kagome turned her eyes to see him doing something that should not be done in this kind of situation.
This boy was laughing. Kagome shot a glare at him. The Janitor shot a confused look at the demon. He studied Naraku and his eyes widened. Naraku shot a glare at the man that made him freeze in his spot. Chills ran up Kagome's spin as he smiled even more. Suddenly the Janitor reached into his back pocket and pulled a handheld radio.
"Mr. Tasiho, come the roof please. Students were hiding up here." He said loudly into the radio. A small noise erupted from the radio signaling he was on his way. Kagome began to shake widly.
"Fuck." She whispered. She brought her legs to her chest and put her head down. "Second day here and I'm already getting into big trouble." A tear ran from her eye. She cried a few tears and felt Naraku tense beside her. She shifted her head slightly. Anger was building in his eyes. He shot up so fast, Kagome couldn't even blink. Naraku looked down on the janitor before her.
"You're going to regret using that radio." Naraku growled at the Janitor, whom quivered in fear. Kagome felt fear wash over her as the air thickened. Kagome violently shook her head, but Naraku ignored and grabbed the janitor by the collar and began to raise him off his feet. Kagome's eyes widened and put her hand up.
"I swear Naraku! If you don't put him down I say I will castrate you with a wooden rusty spoon!" She shouted, walking over to him. Naraku turned to her in shock; no one has threatened her before. Naraku dropped the Janitor when Kagome was near, the anger in her eyes were so antagonizing, it seemed that he was scared. Kagome stuck her finger up and growled once more.
"And I will make sure I find a wooden spoon the fucking rusts boy, you hear?" She glared while he was still in shock. The janitor below them slowly crawled away for the door unnoticed.
Naraku softened and smile wildly at her. "heh, you think you can really threaten me? You're dumber than you look miko." He glared at her, towering her in size. Kagome looked up at him still with an angry face.
"You're the one picking fights with everyone around me!" Kagome shot at him. She moved her foot forward and purposely stepped on his foot. "And that for calling me that damned name miko!" She turned her foot side to side squishing his toes under her foot. Once done with the foot squishing, she retracted her foot and looked up at him once more. She found him smiling a wicked smiled that made her very uncomfortable. Kagome took a step back from this new look. The aura that was emitting from him felt like it was driving her mad.
"What's the matter miko? Why won't you purify me or any of your jazz?" Kagome gasped at him at the recall events of this morning. She remembered the strength that was passed to her that at that moment. Recalling , she felt courage build up.
'Time to show off.' Kagome smirked at her thought. Naraku caught the look, but pretended not to notice.
"You can't do purification can you? Do you know why miko?"
At the question, her heart felt as if it had stopped. She gave him a shocked look and leaned forward a bit. "You know why? Tell me! Please!" She seemed to beg, which was low of her, but now it didn't matter. She needed to know. NOW. Silence wrapped them in a tight hold. Naraku could feel anxiety coming from the girl's mind. She wanted to know. With the thought, he disappeared. Kagome came out of her anxious state and shook her head side to side. No sign of the youkai was anywhere.
Kagome then felt a presence behind her and pressure onto her stomach. Kagome looked down and back, discovering that Naraku's soft arms were snaking around her belly and his head was closing in on her ear. Kagome cried out a bit, but was hushed by a sweet voice in her ear.
"That's for me to know and you to find out my sweet miko." Naraku's breath tickled her ear. Kagome shivered from the impact of warm air. Naraku shifted his head and landed his face in her locks of ebony hair. He buried his face in the texture and sweet scent of her hair. Kagome could feel pleasure from the feeling of him so close. The pleasure pumped through her body in rhythm with her heart. Kagome tried to turn her head away, but his head only went deeper. In response to the rejection, Naraku sank his head lower to her neck. Kagome could feel pleasure and discomfort bubbling in her. Naraku's warm breath kissed Kagome's neck. Kagome started quivering. She could feel the presence of his lips on her neck. Kagome gasped. Naraku's eyes shot up from their spot, filled with rage. Kagome could see the door handle to the exit moving slightly. Kagome tried to move towards it, but Naraku's arms kept her in place. Kagome saw one of Naraku's tentacles stretching to the door and holding it close. Banging and the voice of Mr. Tashio rang in the air. Kagome struggled to get from Naraku, but he only held her with more strength. Kagome could feel his breath become ragged. Kagome stiffened for the next attack from him. Naraku lifted his head slightly and hissed into her ear.
"Be mine…."
Kagome widened her eyes at his words. Then felt a small pinch on the beginning of her shoulder. Kagome tried to turn her head, but felt the weight of Naraku disappear. Kagome heard the door be forced open. Kagome looked at the very furious Mr. Tashio and the frightened Janitor. Mr. Tashio's eyes focused onto Kagome and blinked wildly.
"Higurashi?" He looked around and back at her. "You were the Student's' on the roof?" He glared at the Janitor. The Janitor cowered back then quickly said. "There was another! The hanyou boy Naraku!" He stuttered, then stepped back and pointed to Kagome. "She made the hanyou drop his attack against me." He quietly said. Mr. Taisho shot to the Janitor then to Kagome. She slightly gasped at the wide pools of yellow that was looking at her. A moment of silence was over them.
Kagome could feel her heart beat.
' Naraku left. Why? Does he really think he can get out of trouble? Coward.' She mentally growled to herself. She felt the urge to summon him back and kick him in the groin.
"Higurashi. To my office." The silence was broken from the demanding words of . turned away from Kagome, but didn't move forward. Kagome caught his gesture and began to walk to the door. As Mr. Tashio started down the stairs, Kagome looked behind her, searching for the red eyed boy.
'I wonder where he is.' Kagome sighed then turned and continued down the stairs. Kagome could feel her legs tense up, since they still were not healed from sprinting up these familiar stairs just earlier. Kagome felt the pain as she stepped off the final step. Kagome followed the man down the halls of the school. Kagome looked into the doors of the class rooms and could see the classes hard at work. Kagome caught a glimpse of Inuyasha, whom was looking at the board. Kagome stopped a few steps behind Mr. Taisho and studied Inuyasha. Inuyasha noticed Kagome. He turned his head to her and looked at her with a confused look. Kagome slyly smirked. Inuyasha and Kagome stayed locked in each other's gazes, though Kagome's gaze was broken by a pain in her shoulder. Kagome put her hand on her shoulder and rubbed it. When she brought her hand down she could see that Inuyasha's face was horrified. Kagome looked at her left shoulder and nearly cried out. Her pastel pink shirt was beginning to stain a bright color of red. Kagome looked slowly at her hand and saw blood coving it. Kagome shot a scared look at Inu, then ran down the hall towards Mr. Tashio. Mr. Tashio stopped, and without looking at her, instructed her.
"Higurashi, go to the nurse, then come to my office. Hurry." He said, then was gone. Kagome then saw she was standing right in front of the office. She slowly looked past the windows at the big sign that read Clinic. Kagome saw Kaede shuffling through her papers with a small smile on her face. Kagome felt as if she walked into there she would only startle her. Ignoring the pain, she walked into the office. Kaede looked up slightly smiling, and then her look fell upon the blood seeping through Kagome's shirt.
"Oh my! Kagome my dear! Come into the clinic! Quickly!" She exclaimed, leaving her desk unattended and ushered her into the clinic. Kagome then knew for sure, Kaede was the nurse, and because she saw the small letters RN on her badge. Kaede ushered to a chair and sat her down.
"Wait a moment." She whispered, then went to the cabinets.
Kagome felt bored, she didn't want to be here. She wanted to go home now. She didn't want to be treated by the nurse for a cut. Kagome pulled her shirt down slightly at her shoulder. She could barely see it but there was a small hole on her shoulder.
'How could such a small hole like this cause this much blood?'She asked herself, she couldn't even recall how she got it. Kagome looked suspiciously at the little hole. Suddenly Kagome heard things hit the floor and shot her head to Kaede. Kaede looked at the wound. She looked at Kagome with sympathy.
"Oh sweetie…" Kaede began. Kagome looked strangely at her.
"What?" Kaede looked away then looked back at her.
"Sweetie, did you know you're being courted?" Kaede asked softly, beginning to pick up the bandages. Kagome looked at her with a confused and shocked face.
"WHAT?" Kagome gasped and stood up.
"You're being courted." Kaede answer, but didn't look up. Kagome could feel her feet disappear under her.
'Courted…I'm courted…by Naraku….'
