The next morning, it was rather uneventful. Umi had woken up to Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's yelling. Sesshomaru was trying to get his brother up and ready for school, but Inuyasha refused to oblige. He finally gave up, and just continued with his morning routine. Umi had gotten showered and dressed, feeling awkward the robe she had found. On the nightstand, her uniform was cleaned and pressed. She put it on swiftly, and headed downstairs. Sesshomaru was sitting there; shirt unbuttoned and tie loosely on his neck. He was drinking from a coffee mug, the smell of cologne and coffee in the air. Umi just looked over his figure. It wasn't a shock most girls (and guys) melted for Sesshomaru, he was drop dead gorgeous. His well sculpted chest was exposed, and revealed down to just above his crotch. He looked over at her, "What anything? We don't have much time." Umi just shook her head, "I'll just have a glass of orange juice, please." She sat on the stool across from him, looking down at the newspaper. Nothing seemed too different, when a headline caught her eye.
"LOCAL TEACHER FOUND IN MYSTERIOUS CONDITION," she looked over, then recognizing the name. "Yami Naraku was found just late last night in friend's apartment, unconscious. He had no external injuries, but had mysterious cuts all inside his ears. Police and doctors are still trying to find answers to this odd finding. He's in critical condition." Umi read the rest of the article, trying to understand what was going on. Then he remembered her brief 'visit' with Kiyoshi last night. It was then she wondered, if somehow his quick retreat had something to do with Naraku. Umi looked over the article again, still trying to connect something, but she couldn't. A maid came up, giving Umi her glass of orange juice, which she downed like an alcoholic with sake. Sesshomaru lifted an eye to her, smirking inside his mind, "She's quiet the guzzler. I wonder if she'd-" "You know I can just tell what you're thinking by looking at you in thought." Umi cut him off, smirking. Sesshomaru stood up, buttoning his shirt and fixing his tie. "Let's go." He muttered.
The car ride was much duller, the two not speaking much of anything to one another. Umi then broke the ice, "Thank you for having my uniform clean. I really appreciate it." "I doubt you'd want to walk around in a school like ours, wearing a dirty uniform." "True. Anyway, I need to pick up my books; can't we stop by my house? It's just ahead." "Fine. I'll drive up to the house." "NO! I mean, I can walk up, it's fine." Umi smiled weakly, knowing if her brother saw her with Sesshomaru, he'd lose it completely. "Just because you think I'm a jerk doesn't mean I am. I'll drive up." "I really don't want you to." "I insist." "And I insist against it." "Fine." Sesshomaru drove to the corner, letting Umi out. She waved, and run up to the house. She knocked on the door, which a very sleepy looking Flames opened the door, "Hey," his expression changed, looking bright and happy, "here's your bag, it has everything." "Thanks," she gave her bro a quick hug. "Wait, I wanted to talk to Moriko," Umi's expression didn't change, but her skin got goose bumps fast. "She's…busy. I'll have her call you later." "Oh, come on. I know Moriko can't occupy herself for more than five seconds. I'll just walk down with you, and-" "Oh, darn, we're running late, see you later!" Umi waved running back down the walk and out to Sesshomaru's car, bag in hand.
Once at school, Umi and Sesshomaru got some odd looks. Groups of girls whispered and giggled with one another, while the guys pretended they weren't looking. Sesshomaru growled under his breath. "Calm down. I have to go, anyway, stuff to do-" "Hey Sesshomaru! How was she?" "Yeah, does she give good head?" "They say the nerdy types are the horniest." "Never thought Umi would be so easy." Snickering and comments just came from all sides, guys and girls laughing cruelly. Umi just sulked, looking at the ground. She knew people gossiped that people were cruel, but never in such a way. Ichigo was standing out front, laughing and getting the crowd even louder. Sesshomaru looked over at Umi, a slight feeling of guilt. He then lifted her chin up, planting his lips on hers, shocked when she let her. He expected a slap to the face, a kick to the groin, anything, not her permission, though. The crowd stopped a moment, some people coughing. Ichigo growled, looking even more pissed. Sesshomaru then pulled away, smirking a bit. Umi did the same, catching his drift.
"Yes, I have finally gotten a girlfriend. I've tried to keep it secret, but I guess it just came out," He smiled, scratching his head, trying to play this off, "Isn't that right, pumpkin?" he looked over at Umi, nodding for her to respond. "Oh yes, we're just… madly in love, but I didn't want to expose our love to… everyone." she just stood there, while Sesshomaru wrapped his arm around her shoulder, nuzzling his head against her neck, "You're pushing it," she growled low enough just for him to hear him. He smirked, "I could enjoy this," he wrapped his arms around her waist, still nuzzling. Ichigo gagged, "Ugh, fine, we believe you, just stop. C'mon," she walked off, a group behind her. Soon, everyone else had gone to chat elsewhere, leaving Umi and Sesshomaru alone. "Wow, it actually worked. I have to go to class, see you later." Umi walked away, when Sesshomaru got her again by the waist, and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "You realize I could use this for blackmail, and expose you as whatever I wish." He smirked, a gleam in his eyes. Umi wiggled, trying to get free. "Then why don't you?" "I said I would rather have you willing, no matter the wait." He smiled, then walking away. Umi ran in the other direction, to her calculus class.

Yeah, kinda boring. HOWEVER, I'm deciding on what to do to kill off a certain character. If you wanna leave your guesses in comments, I'd love to see. Plus, it might help change the story even more. Reviewers get…a DDR machine…and pie! Laterz!
