Sakurabon University: Chapter 7 – Distance

Previously~

"S, Sesshomaru?" she asked breathlessly.

"I got out of control. The stupid demon inside can't control his needs," he hissed through his fangs, trying to calm himself down. "Kagome...you need to go find my father tomorrow and find a way to tear that spell off of you because I can't allow this to go any further than what it already has gone."

Her eyes widened at his request and she sighed. For some reason she felt complete when he gave her that kiss and now he wanted her to remove the spell. She unexpectedly felt some disappointment inside and her chest hurt a little. "Alright. I'll find your father tomorrow and talk to him."

****

That night Kagome couldn't sleep well. She had reoccurring dreams of the kiss and it gave her a strange feeling in her lower regions. That rough, yet gentle kiss had been on her mind and it would replay over and over even when she was awake. Stuffing her face into her pillow she screamed into it in frustration. Looking over at Sesshomaru, he glanced her way upon hearing her muffled scream. He gave her a questioning look, but she looked away and stuck her face back into the pillow, blushing. 'What the hell's wrong with me? This is supposed to be a good thing. You get to be free!' she told herself constantly. She saddened a bit and sighed, 'but I don't understand why I'm so disappointed...'

Feeling a weight come down on the edge of her mattress she heard Sesshomaru say, "Can't sleep? You're acting strange priestess."

She rolled over onto her back and stuck her tongue out at him, "I'm a girl and I go through mood swings. It's called PMSing, I'm sure you've heard of it before," she let out sarcastically.

He rolled his eyes at her childish behaviour and replied, "If you were near your menstrual cycle I'd be able to smell it so stop lying."

Kagome sat up angrily and crossed her arms over her chest. She gave him a long hard stare before taking out her cell to check what the time was. "Look whatever my problem is, it isn't yours. If I wish to tell you, I will, if not, then I won't." Simple as that she went back to lying down and thinking.

"Remember, we have a meeting with my father tomorrow."

'Yeah, yeah your highness...' Kagome scoffed in her head before closing her eyes again.

In the morning Kagome was the first to head out the door having Sesshomaru follow her. "Look, I can go talk to him alone okay? Go to your class or something or hang out with one of your fangirls for all I care."

Sesshomaru tightened his jaw and refrained from barking back at her and having an argument in the middle of the hallway. He didn't want to create a scene and embarrass himself. Not saying a word to her, he just walked off ahead of her and exited the building. Kagome pulled down her skirt a little from it riding up and she headed towards the headmaster's office. Not paying attention to where she was going, Kagome bumped into someone and fell back on her butt. "Ouch..." she mumbled as she rubbed her butt.

"I'm so sorry," a soft masculine voice apologized as he put his hand out to help Kagome up. Gazing at the hand Kagome realized this man was a human and she smiled. His eyes were a dark purple and he had a short pony tail at the back of his head.

"S, sorry," Kagome laughed nervously. "I'm a klutz and an air head...half the time I don't realize where I'm going."

"Ahaha, no worries there my fair maiden," he chuckled. "The name is Miroku and what's yours?"

"It's Kagome."

"Ah...Kagome, such a beautiful name..." he kneeled down on the ground and clasped his hands around hers and asked, "Sweet Kagome, will you bear my children?"

Her eyes widened and she stared at him, surprised. "Uhm..." before she could say anything else, he got punched over the head by some girl with long brown hair. She looked down at the man with angry, brown eyes and cursed. "Asking another girl huh?! You're such a pervert and a player!" she spat with jealousy.

"I, I'm sorry Sango!" he cried in pain as he stood up, massaging his head.

The girl, Sango, turned her head to Kagome and smiled sweetly as she stuck out her hand for a handshake. "I apologize for this idiot's disrespect. He's quite flirty..." before she could go on, she punched him again across the face. "STOP RUBBING MY ASS!"

Kagome began to burst out into fits of giggles as she watched the two fight. She could tell that Sango really liked Miroku, but she was too stubborn to admit it. "I have to head off to the headmaster's office. Hopefully I'll see you two around again!" she smiled.

"Wait a second, you're Kagome Higurashi right? I have ancient history with you right now, but I never see you in class," Sango stated.

"I have...special circumstances, but starting tomorrow I'll be in all my classes," the priestess assured her. Sango smiled and waved goodbye while dragging the pervert with her to class.

Sesshomaru leaned against a cherry blossom tree near the lake, in deep thought. He stuck his hands in his pant pockets and sighed. He was angry at himself and his inner demon for getting out of hand and just kissing her like that. He wanted nothing to do with the human...or so he thought. 'Dammit Sesshomaru, you do not want her!' he said, trying to convince himself. 'Oh please...you want mate,' his inner dog demon barked. 'Shut up! You ruined everything! You speak of which you think you want, but do not think of the consequences that come along with them!' he growled. 'Mate comes with no consequences. Mate is strong, beautiful, and bear full demon pups. Better yet, mark her and make her into dog demoness!' Sesshomaru laughed cynically hearing the suggestions that his demon was making.

"Are you okay there, Fluffy?" a rough voice muttered, waving a clawed hand in front of his face.

"Why are you bothering me hanyou?" the older brother hissed in detest.

Inuyasha smirked and jumped on a branch. He leaned against the wood as he sat on the branch and peered down, "Well I saw Kagome talking to father and I was wondering why you weren't with her."

"She has certain errands to run."

"Really? I overheard them talking about taking off that spell you two have on you."

"Yeah."

"And you're really fine with this?"

"Look, little brother are you trying to make a point here?" Sesshomaru said sarcastically, while taking a strand of his hand and putting it behind his elf-like ears.

"Nah, no reason whatsoever. This means that anyone can take her...including Kouga..." the younger brother smirked.

Sesshomaru decided to ignore him and walked away from the lake. He had to find a more suitable place to talk to his inner demon than having his half brother follow him around and snoop around.

"Is, is this okay Mr. Taisho?" Kagome asked a little worried. She didn't know why Mr. Taisho actually agreed and immediately allowed her to remove the spell. She felt a huge weight off of her chest and shoulder and when she looked down, the bruise had vanished.

"Well that's just perfect!" he smiled back cheery. "You take care now Miss. Higurashi. Even if the spell has been removed, you still share a room with Sesshomaru, so be careful and don't make him too mad."

Kagome flashed a genuine smile and bowed down in respect before heading out the office door. She finally felt an air of freedom without having a certain dog demon breathing down her neck.

'Don't you worry Kagome...just leave reverse psychology to do its magic,' Inu-Taisho smiled to himself as he sat down and began filling out papers.
