Chapter Seven: Lint Licker

Friday came quicker than anyone had expected. During the week Kagome and Sesshoumaru acted like they were together and told people that they went out when they were asked, and got to know a little about each other. Miroku and Livi began to talk and hangout with each other after school which made Sango a little jealous and wonder if the two were a couple.

"Kagome wake up or you're going to be late for school!" Mrs. Higurashi called from a cross the hall to her sleeping daughter in her room. Mrs. Higurashi had notice a slight change in her daughter, she figured it had something to do with the young man that Kagome had been seeing for a couple of days now. She had only seen a glimpse of him through the window when he dropped her off from school and she could tell that he had good intentions with her daughter. She was mad that Kagome didn't introduce her to the young man when he first dropped her off at the house, but she knew Kagome would tell her about the young man when she felt the need to.

Walking down stairs and into the kitchen, Mrs. Higurashi started to prepare Kagome and Souta's breakfast. She just hoped that this young man wouldn't hurt Kagome like her previous boyfriends.

((Upstairs))

"Ugh" Kagome moaned underneath her comforter. She was happy that today was finally Friday but unfortunately it didn't mean that she wanted to get up to go to school. But the thought of seeing Sesshoumaru made her want to get up and get to school as soon as possible. With a smile on her face, Kagome pulled the covers from her body and went to the bathroom and took a shower.

30 minutes later, Kagome opened the bathroom door and went into her room. Walking to her closet, she picked out a green and white stripped shirt and a pair of light blue jeans. Laying the clothes on her bed, she went to her dresser and picked out a black bra and green boy shorts. Wrapping her long wet hair up a towel after drying herself off, she got dressed and blow dried her hair. Looking at herself in her mirror, she gave herself a once over, hoping that Sesshoumaru would like what she was wearing and grabbed her book bag and was out her bedroom door.

'It's weird how I want him to like what I'm wearing. These past few days have been great. Sesshoumaru and I have more in common than I thought and I really like spending time with him. I never knew I could become so attached to someone so fast!' Kagome mused walking into the kitchen. The smell of pancakes and eggs welcomed her as she entered and she smiled at her mother's back and sat down at the table. Looking at the clock on the wall, Kagome noticed that she only had 40 minutes to eat before the bus came to pick her up. Mrs. Higurashi took the plate full of food from the counter and placed it in front of Kagome. Kagome smiled at her mother and picked up her fork.

"Thank you mama" she said before digging into her breakfast. Mrs. Higurashi smiled.

"Your welcome baby," Turning around and walking up to the foot of the stairs, Mrs. Higurashi took a deep breath, and shouted;

"SOUTA HIGURASHI IF YOU DON'T WAKE YOUR PALE BOTTOM UP THIS INSTANT AND GET READY FOR SCHOOL IM TAKING AWAY MR. BUBBLES!!"

A few seconds later Kagome and Mrs. Higurashi could hear something fall on the ground with a 'Thump' and someone whispering 'its okay Mr. Bubbles. She was just playing, she won't take you away from me, I promise.' Kagome chuckled and finished her breakfast.

((At School))

"IT'S FRIDAY, BITCHES!!" Livi yelled into the busy hall of Shikon High. Livi was wearing a black tank-top and white shorts, her hair was in a ponytail and you could tell that she was happy as hell right about now. She threw her hands into the air and started to do a little dance, while everyone in the hallway looked at her like she was on something and some just rolled their eyes. Miroku, who was behind her laughed at her childish antics and put his arms around her waist with the intention making her stop dancing. He was wearing a green shirt with the words 'This is my party shirt!' in golden letters and black cargo pants. Livi felt someone wrap their arms around her waist and she turned around, meeting Miroku's purple eyes. Miroku smiled at her and brought his hand up to her face, cupping her cheek. Livi closed her eyes and leaned into his touch, sighing contently. Everyone in the hallway stared at the couple in awe.

Except for one.

At her locker down the hall, Sango heard Livi yell out that it was Friday and shook her head with a little laugh. Livi was the only one she knew that would do that and didn't really give a shit what people thought about her. She guessed that was what made Livi so special. Sango was wearing a peach colored v-neck short sleeves shirt and Levi shorts. Her hair was out and in curls framing her face. Closing her locker, Sango turned around and was about to go meet up with Livi down the hall, but stopped when she saw the scene before her.

Livi was in the arms of Miroku and it looked like they were a happy go lucky new couple. Sango noticed that Miroku looked at Livi like she was special, like she was only girl in the whole world. He once looked at her like that. She couldn't help the feeling of anger that entered her body.

'What changed all of the sudden? It couldn't be because of what happened on Tuesday could it? And Livi…..how could she do this to me? I thought she knew that I liked Miroku? Best friend's aren't supposed to date their best friend's man….hold on….Since when was Miroku ever my man?' Sango scrunched her eyebrows together trying to think where in the hell that thought came from. Then she looked back over at Miroku and Livi, they looked so happy to be with each other and Sango could feel the tears start to form.

'Maybe I really did like him. And me being me, I pushed away the only guy that could ever love me. Well I guess I wish them both the best. That's all I can do for now.' Sango thought sadly as she allowed one tear to spill from her eyes, as quick as it came she wiped it with her free hand and went to her first mod class.

"I think we should go to class now, before we get detention, Roku" Livi said with her eyes still closed. Miroku sighed and let his hand fall and wrapped it around her waist. Livi opened her eyes and smiled at him and got one in return.

"I can't wait to see you tonight, Livi" Miroku whispered.

"Me either. Now let's go to class okay." She said pushing his chest lightly, silently telling him to let her go. He complied and grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers together and walked down the hall to their class. Together. Minutes later the bell rung.

((In the Girl's Bathroom))

Two girls who were supposed to be in their second period were in the bathroom doing what they do best; putting on more make-up and gossiping about what happened in school. Everyone in the school knew them as the two main people to gossip and also for other things. Let's just say that they weren't virgins and they weren't afraid to show any guy that they weren't. Like most girls in the school who had a crush on Sesshoumaru, one of the girls thought that he belonged to her and got into a lot of fights with girls, she felt were getting to close to him.

"Like Oh My Gosh, Yuki did you hear about Sesshoumaru and that girl Kagome?" a red head named Amber asked as she powdered her nose. Amber was wearing a white tube top and a plaid mini skirt. Yuki came out of the bathroom stall and stood beside Amber in the mirror. She was wearing a red tank top that showed a little too much cleavage and a black mini skirt. Her long black hair was done into a bun with two black chop sticks holding them in place. Red eyes narrowed at her friend when she heard the name of her boyfriend and some random girl.

"What about Sesshy and some random girl? What's going on Amber?" she demanded, with her hands at her hips. Amber stopped putting lip gloss on her lips and turned to Yuki, she took a deep breath. She knew that Yuki was not going to like what she had to tell her.

"Well word has been going around that Sesshoumaru and this girl named Kagome are going together. I don't know if that might be true or not, but people have seen them hang out and kiss and what not around school." It took Yuki about 5 seconds to soak in everything that Amber had just told her. Her red eyes got a deeper shade to them, her claws dug into her hips, drawing blood. She couldn't help but yell out in frustration.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?" Amber looked dazed. She couldn't stop the ringing in her head and it was all thanks to Yuki.

'Got damn it. Why the fuck did I have to tell her? Man she just cost me my fucking ear that loud ass bitch. Well whatever she has planned for that Kagome bitch it ain't gonna be pretty cause Yuki is one crazy bitch when it comes to 'her' Sesshoumaru' Amber thought shaking her head, trying to catch up with Yuki's rant.

"WHERE IN THE FUCK HAVE I BEEN? WHO DOES THIS BITCH THINK SHE IS?? DOESN'T SHE KNOW THAT SESSHOUMARU IS MY MAN?? I'M GONNA KILL HER ASS?! SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHO SHE'S FUCKING WITH!" Yuki seethed. Oh there was going to be hell to pay. Sesshoumaru was her man and she wasn't going to let some wench take him away from her.

((At Lunch))

Kagome, Sesshoumaru, Miroku and Livi were sitting outside by a big oak tree enjoying each other's company at lunch. Kagome had her head on Sesshoumaru's shoulder and he had his arms around her waist, with a peaceful look on his face. Miroku had Livi sitting in his lap and his arms around her, Livi looked as if she was the happiest girl in the world. But then she remember something, she heard while walking down the hallway for lunch.

"Oh yeah Kagome, I forgot to tell you something girl. This shit is like so crazy." she said in a worried tone. Livi wasn't the type to gossip but when it comes to her girls, she had to tell them what was up before they got themselves hurt. She had their back no matter what and she knew that they had hers. The tone that Livi was using, kind of scared Kagome and Sesshoumaru could detect a faint smell of fear around her.

"What's going on Livi?" Kagome asked lifting her head up from Sesshoumaru's shoulder. Sesshoumaru looked worried even though he didn't let it show. Whatever it was that was about to happen, he would protect Kagome even if it killed him.

'Maybe I'm just thinking too much about what this Livi girl has to tell Kagome. But the tone in her voice……something must really be wrong.' Sesshoumaru held on tighter to Kagome, as if he didn't hold her tight enough she might disappear.

"You know that girl Yuki right?" Kagome nodded, "Well when I walking down the hall you know doing my thing, I heard these two preppy bitches talkin' about how Yuki blew up in the girl's bathroom because she heard that you and Sesshoumaru were dating. And girl, lemme tell you the bitch is off her fucking rocker. She said that she was going to kill you! Can you believe that shit? And if that bitch tries anything I'm gonna beat that ass up, you feel me" Livi was angry and fired up at this point. Kagome was like a sister to her, and if someone messed with Kagome then they mess with her.

Kagome's reaction wasn't the one that the group had been expecting. Instead of looking like she was scared or worried. Kagome looked calm and collected. She looked as if Livi didn't say anything about Yuki saying that she wanted to kill her. Sesshoumaru couldn't even smell the fear on her anymore, which was odd.

'If Yuki wants a fight, who am I to back down. I didn't do anything wrong but accept that fact that I like being with Sesshoumaru and that he makes me happy. If this preppy bitch wants to try and take him away from me, she can try but I'm not going down without a fight.' Kagome thought determinedly. Slowly coming out of her little world, Kagome saw that everyone was looking at her and what her response to what Livi had just told her.

"I'm not afraid of her. Why should I be afraid of a cock sucking, lint licking, stuck up bitch who's just mad cause some one stole 'her man.'" Kagome shrugged. Sesshoumaru was surprised that Kagome wasn't afraid of Yuki. All of the other girls were afraid of Yuki after they found out that she said she would kill them if they ever came near or touched him again. She really was a one of a kind.

'And just what I need. A fearless mate.' Sesshoumaru thought proudly. But he was still worried about her. Yuki liked to play dirty and would use anything and anyone to get something out of the way to get to him. Sesshoumaru would just have to keep a careful eye on Kagome and make sure that Yuki doesn't get her groupies to attack Kagome.

"Lint Licking? That's new Kags!" Miroku laughed, he was laughing so hard along with Livi that he fell backwards, pulling Livi with him. Livi ended up on top of Miroku still laughing. Sesshoumaru's mouth twitched upward in a small smile and Kagome couldn't help but blush.

"It's not my fault. I just remember the Orbit commercial I saw a couple of days ago." Kagome confessed, blushing. "But besides that has anyone seen Sango today? Is she even here because I don't remember seeing her in the hallway?"

Miroku and Livi stopped laughing and sat up. Livi whipped the tears from her eyes and coughed. "Ummmmmm yeah she was here but I think she left. I heard that she wasn't feeling to well and have to leave. I hope she feels better though." Kagome nodded. She wondered what was wrong with her friend. She had talked to Sango yesterday and she sounded just fine. Sango wouldn't just come to school and leave, even if she was sick. Yeah something was defiantly up.

((RING))

Kagome sighed, "End of lunch and only 1 more class to go!"

"You said it girl." Livi agreed, standing up to stretch. Miroku got up soon after and Sesshoumaru too. All four of them headed back to the school and into their classes.

((End of School))

Kagome was at her locker, taking out the books that she needed and put them in her book bag. Sesshoumaru offered to give her a ride home, but she refused saying that she didn't mind walking. Finally getting all of her stuff together, Kagome closed her locker and walked down the empty hallway. Hearing nothing but silence, Kagome increased her speed, wanting nothing more than to get the hell out of school and into her comfy bed.

Almost turning the corner, something rather hard hit her in the back of her head, knocking her to the ground. Holding her head in her hands, Kagome reached to the back of her head making sure she was okay, but pulled back quickly when she felt something wet. Her big blue eyes widened, when she saw blood.

Blood

HER BLOOD.

Panic started to spread throughout her body as she struggled to get up. Holding the wall for support, Kagome was able stand up before she was knocked back down again by someone. And they were laughing.

"Not so tough now huh, bitch?" someone sneered. Kagome froze.

She knew that voice.

"Yuki"
