Last Chapter: Sesshomaru waits patiently for Kagome's long waited phone call but only discovers that his college classmate as well as Kagome's cousin, Bankotsu has the phone. Now everything's screwed up and there is no way for Kagome to have any contact with her one and only savior Sesshomaru.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

She was huddled up against the bed frame as her whole body tensed. She couldn't do anything at this point but clenched the blanket that covered her. There was no hope; the only hope that she had received was now in Bankotsu's hands. He sat at the edge of the bed, staring at the phone in his hands. The room was ominously quiet and she could feel gapes of worry flooding her mind.

"How do you know Sesshomaru?" Bankotsu didn't face her but stared out the window across from him. She didn't have any reason to be afraid of him or to answer him. He hit her but it wasn't anything surprising, she was use to that kind of rough treatment so there wasn't anything to be afraid of. Bankotsu had looks beyond compare and he was composed most of the time but his attitude said other wise. Even in difficult and tense situations he would hold a smirk on his face. He was terrifying in ways she couldn't explain but she wasn't going to let that fear take hold of her.

"It's none of your business."

"Why can't you just answer the simple question? Stop being so difficult or I'll have to do the same."

"As if. Like I'll ever answer any question you throw at me." She held her breath for a moment as he turned his head toward her. Just gazing at his upturn lips sickened her but she had to improvise. She needed that connection back and she wasn't going to get it acting like a bitch. Though with difficulty she spoke out before he had a chance to reply.

"He was my tutor. Aunty Kagura had him teach me math and stuff."

"I see. So why are you telling me this after that rude reply?"

"I don't want to give you a headache. I'm sorry." He reached toward her and lifted her downcast chin. He wasn't stupid and he knew she was up to something but he decided to play along.

"I'm glade you're cooperating but can you tell me something Kagome?"

"Sure thing Bankotsu." The words were poison and she knew she was going to regret it later on but she stared at the doubt in his eyes. Maybe he was buying the act or maybe he was spectacle and trying to figure her out. She wanted to know what was going on in that mind of his but reality was just weighing her down.

"Does Sesshomaru love you?" Bankotsu smiled pleasingly at her sudden reaction. Her wide eyes, the way she tried to conceal those shocked expression by pulling her chin away from his hand. It was all clear and now he was expecting a lie. A simple 'No' to come out of her mouth, it was all pleasing to see. He grabbed hold of her chin once again and directed her gaze straight at him.

"What's wrong Kagome? Answer the question."

After a few ideas that slipped through her mind she smiled and sighed. "You're expecting me to say no but I'm not going to lie to you Bankotsu. He doesn't love me but I love him and there is nothing further to say."

With the utmost disappointment in her reply he pulled her face closer to him. His warm breath could be felt as the closeness made her hand itching to punch the living day lights out of him. She had the blade tucked in her pocket and with her free hand laying on it she trembled. Just stab him and it'll all be over. Just get him right in the head and he'll drop dead. The thought put a smile on her face but that didn't make the situation she was in any better.

"So you love him and I can guess you kissed him."

"I didn't ki-"

"Now tell me the truth Kagome. I know you want this phone back so answer me." His mocking gaze belittled her ever second she stared at his eyes. If only he didn't have the phone, if only…if only I haven't snuck out of that house than I wouldn't have been sent here. Her gaze fell on the floor as she tried to avert her eyes away from his. She didn't know where he was going with all of these insignificant questions though with cornered eyes, she spoke.

"I did kiss him but it shouldn't matter because-"

"But you're wrong Kagome. It does matter. I'm older than Sesshomaru but he always surpasses me in every way. Teachers and students older and younger than him liked him so it was evident that I would resent him. I wanted to destroy him in any way possible and now with your help I can." He looked at her with a glint in his eyes as he flipped the phone open in his hand. He held it up toward the light as he pressed a few buttons. With a push of a button he turned the phone over and the screen faced outward. She cocked an eyebrow as he turned his attention back to her.

"What are you-"

"This phone. I didn't know he would spend money to get you a camera phone so why don't you say cheese." The order was direct but puzzling, he turned her head as if looking for the right side to take a picture. She just followed through as his smile widen. For the whole time she was confused with his actions but as he pointed the lens of the phone more outwards, she was getting quite tired of him holding her chin.

"I answered every question you asked me. So can you give me the phone?"

"Why would I want to do that? You didn't say cheese."

She let out an irritable sigh as her eyes finally met with his. "Fine. If it makes you happy than….Cheese." She thought the phone was going to be in her hands once she said that one word. Though with a forceful pull towards him his lips overlapped her own. Her heartbeat stopped and the first thing her mind could register was to push him away but he slammed her on her back and the slight action made her flinch. She struggled as much as she could but his strength was overpowering and as she tried to scream, his tongue muffled her shrieks for help. Though who was going to help her, no one was there for her anymore and the thought made hot tears sting her eyes.

His hand traveled down her trembling arm and across her bare stomach. She couldn't move the feeling of his hand traveling up her stomach made her mind break out in shock. Her tears were the only thing that was streaming down her cheek, she wanted to scream but she couldn't, she wanted to push him off but he was to strong. As his tongue touched the roof of her mouth she felt the corner of his lip turned up. He held out his free hand that held the phone firmly and his hand pushed up her shirt to reveal her stomach.

Snap!

"Thanks a lot Kagome. You're the best." Her brows furrowed and she distinctively lunged her fist toward him but it was quickly slammed down onto the bed. Her wrist was held firmly, slamming his free hand on to her neck. She wanted everything to wipe that smile off of his face but she couldn't do anything. Weak, fragile, useless, she was all of that and she couldn't change that. She couldn't be strong; she couldn't stand up for herself anymore.

"I would appreciate it if you wouldn't hit me again. It's quite rude and why don't you tell me how the picture went." His hand that held her wrist reached for the phone beside her. As her eyes laid upon the screen, she felt more tears building. Her heart sunk with self-disgust and she turned her head away from the picture that laid on the screen.

"I'll save this and maybe I'll show Sesshomaru on Monday. I think he'll like it don't you think?"

"You can't."

"And why not? Convince me. Why shouldn't I show him this picture? I know he'll like it because I sure do." She felt her breathing growing heavy as half of his body laid upon hers. She felt herself eloped with mixed emotions. Disgust, pain, remorse, hatred, she couldn't register all of this at once and the only thing she could do was cry them out. Her tears displayed all these emotions and nothing else was going to come out. No reply, no question, he had her in the palm of his hands and he controlled her. There was nothing else to it, she couldn't escape and the only thing she thought about was trying to turn this whole situation around, but there wasn't anyway to change it.

"Cat got your tongue Kagome? Do you hate me or do you hate yourself? Admit it. You're weak, you can't do nothing for yourself unless Wataru or Sesshomaru's by your side and I'll make sure it stays that way."

"Hey Bankotsu there's someone at the-" Hiten's words were caught as he opened the door and stepped into the room. He was met with a smile from his brother who pinned Kagome down on the bed. His eyes widened for a bit but went back to a scowl as his mind registered to what had happened in this room.

"What is it Hiten?" Bankotsu streaked his hand though his hair as he got up off of her and walked toward him.

"Guess who's at the door?"

"Hmm. I see. Just keep him occupied for a second." With that Hiten left the room. Bankotsu looked at the phone in his hands and gave Kagome a smile. "Sorry Kagome but I'll be keeping this." He shoved the phone into his pocket and walked out of the room. He heard her scream after him to wait but he closed the door and locked it before she could say anything else. Bankotsu didn't go by his word but he wasn't fazed by guilt or disappointment but anxiety.

Bankotsu stood at the top of the staircase staring down at a poisonous expression. He kept his composure as he descended down stairs and stood face to face with his stubborn cousin. He was out of breath as he kept his eyes fixed on Bankotsu; the hatred in his eyes grew as silence filtered the area.

"Can't believe you came Wataru."

"Shut up." He tried to push his way upstairs but an arm that blocked the way quickly stopped him in place. A storm brewed between them as scowls were now plastered on both of their faces. Hiten who just darted his eyes at the two stood there, trying to predict what was going to happen next.

"You weren't invited in here. I think you should leave Wataru. If you don't I'll throw you out myself and don't forget to take this with you." A grin replaced the frown on his face as he tossed Wataru's once precious necklace to his chest. He caught it and looked over it for a second after looking back up to him.

"You had it all this time you bastar-"

"Yeah I had it. So what. Now that I have the real thing I don't need a picture anymore so take it and leave." A tight fist curled and it was itching to slam right in his face but Hiten who stood in between. He wasn't actually protecting his older brother seeing that he could take care of his self but he was actually annoyed. Every time Bankotsu would have a furrowed brow, that anger he held would direct straight to him. He wanted to stop this and as Hiten motioned for his cousin to leave Wataru surprisingly cooperated.

"This isn't over Bankotsu." He wasn't fazed by the warning but please. Another challenge was weaving but first he had to stick the needle at his one and true rival… Sesshomaru.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

It was awkward not caring so many books in his hands. Practice exams were over for now and they had one week off before exams started up again. His bag was extremely light and the weight off of his back was relaxing although with his ease muscles he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Kagome was all that ran through his mind and the first time in his life he felt worried. Not for himself but for the person that he actually cared about.

"Sesshomaru-Sama."

"Why do you call him that you weirdo?"

"Shut up. Sesshomaru-sama!" He was planted to the floor as the shriek ran through his ears and before you knew it a mass clung to his arm. He stared down sullenly at the girl who only gave her a big enthusiastic smile. The flamboyant girl and the scowling boy who stood beside her were both equally annoying.

" What do you want?" He said monotonously.

"We're starting 4th grade today and remembered what you promised me a year ago?"

"Rin come on if we don't go now we'll be late." The brunette scowled at both of them. For a shrimp he sure had confidence as well as attitude but Sesshomaru didn't respect any of it. He may have been a shrimp but his whole cocky as well as conceited glare annoyed him. It reminded him of that half-breed and that was the farthest thing he wanted his mind to go to. As an even tighter squeeze around his arm was felt he finally was brought back and focused on the girl.

"Sesshomaru-sama you promised that you would walk me and Shippo to school. Shippo and I waited a year for-"

"Speak for yourself Rin. Come on and let's go." With his foot on Sesshomaru's leg for support, Shippo tried to pull the girl off of Sesshomaru's arm. If they didn't leave now the two 4th graders would be late for school and that was the last thing Shippo wanted. Sesshomaru however scowled at the foot that laid on his leg. Yeah he was trying to get the annoying girl off of him but his leg wasn't a footstool.

Sesshomaru felt a growl escape his departed lips as he grabbed the boy's collar and dragged him in front of him. He bent his back to meet his eyes with the little boy who just glared with his arm's cross. Though seconds later his arms went flying up and down as he demanded Sesshomaru to let him go. The child was flapping his arms rapidly, Sesshomaru rolled his eyes as he let the child go and with his hands in his pocket, headed towards the cross walk.

"Sesshomaru!" There was that mass again clinging to his arm. He didn't have time for this; he had morning classes that he couldn't miss but this girl. She just wouldn't give up so with a sigh he turned a corner and a squeal was quickly heard. The two-followed Sesshomaru, Rin was fumbling through her bag for a block now and he couldn't help but peer over her shoulder.

"What are you doing Ren?" Shippo inquired.

"I'm going to show Sesshomaru…. This!" She popped out a plush doll right out of her bag. It was quite ugly; it looked like a monster with its green skin and the staff with two heads that it held. Rin was in fourth grade and he didn't expect her to still carry a doll but not a monstrous one at that. Though she smiled confidently as she hugged the doll tightly.

"Ewww. Who made that?"

"My mommy did and its name is Jaken." She swung the doll up and about as she strolled ahead. Sesshomaru just stared at the girl who went ahead of him and the boy. She went to turn the corner but as she disappeared she fumbled backwards and fell on her butt. Sesshomaru didn't change his pace but walked smoothly toward her. The man that bumped into her helped her up and distinctively Sesshomaru's eyes widened.

"Are you okay?" Ren looked at the handsome as he helped her back on her feet. He held a chaste smile and that smile soon turned wicked as his eyes laid upon the one person that he was anxious to see. The air grew extensively tense as both of their gazes met.

"Sesshomaru… nice bumping into you."

"Where's Kagome?" He quickly cut to the chase and Rin could feel the tension building between the two men.

"I see. So that's all you're worried about. I would have brought her along with me but she's to busy recovering from a shocking night." His shirt that was quickly wrapped around Sesshomaru's hand was pulled toward him. He wasn't actually surprised at the action but pleased. He was always the composed, relaxed guy who had no worries but now this whole new side was appearing right in front of his eyes.

"You touch her you'll-"

" It's not like I wanted to torture her she just was stubborn. She kept on asking questions after questions or she wouldn't speak, well being your student you should know full well what I'm talking about but other than that…here I think you'll want this back." Bankotsu tucked his hand into his pocket and took out a phone. Sesshomaru's eyes cornered as he shoved Bankotsu back and grabbed the phone from his hand. He put the phone in his pocket as the smile on his classmates face shot out at him. He was up to something but Sesshomaru paid no mind to it as he pushed pass him.

"Kagome told me that you kissed her." He said after him. "She also told me that she loved you and when she said you didn't return her feeling I see that she's right. You don't really care and that is quite surprising seeing that you gave her the phone but I guess you'll take a liking to that phone of yours. And I think those little feelings might change once you peer at that phone but see you at school."

Sesshomaru who had stopped and listened to the whole thing started walking with the bewildered Rin and Shippo following right after him. He didn't want to know what he was talking about but as his hand reached into his pocket and flipped the phone open. The wallpaper that appeared before him opened his eyes and a glare took hold on his face. His hand clench around the phone tightly as he threw it into the pavement and shattered. He turned on his heels to kill the man that laid his lips on Kagome but all he laid his eyes upon was an empty street.

"Your dead."
