::Chapter Eleven; Battle of Will::

I love you Naraku.

Kagome stirred. Her eyes began to flutter open. Her sights were blurred by false tears. She sat up a bit and felt her surroundings.

Cotton?

She began to rub her eyes fiercely trying to unmask the unfamiliar surroundings. Her surrounds then revealed the familiar sanctuary of hers.

Her own room.

Throwing her feet over the bed where she sat she backed up from the bed. She looked across her room to her mirror, she wore her PJS. She reached down to feel if they were actually hers.

What the hell?

She looked around her room for an answer. She ruffled her bed to make sure the Naraku was hiding there, which was impossible.

Was I dreaming? Did I really talk to Naraku?

She couldn't believe that she was dreaming. She had no recollection of reentering her home last night. She searched her room, top to bottom, looking for the answer to her question.

Finally giving up, she huffed. She folded her arms and pouted. Her eyes repeatedly scanned her room as she pouted. Then something caught her eye. There was a paper sticking out of her old yearbook. She walked over and slipped the paper from the book. She saw her name scratched into the paper.

She smiled.

"Kagome, Love, you sleep in the weirdest places. I helped you out. . . Naraku"

Kagome then clutched the short passage to her heart. She smiled wildly. She then flipped onto her bed in excitement. It was real. All real. She rolled over and reread the letter. His writing was so cute. She loved it. After rereading the letter over and over again. She glanced at her clock. 6:46. Smiling she got up, got some clothes, then continued to her bath room, nothing else on her mind but her first love. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome walked onto the school yard with full anticipation. Kagome felt beautiful. Her hair was pulled into a high pony tail. She wore little makeup, but still felt beautiful. She sported her grey skinny jeans and a light blue tank with a jean vest. She loved the sound of her Chuck Taylors echoing within the yard.

She scanned the yard, ignoring the puppy dog eyes eating at her body. She didnt see her favorite demon anywhere. Shrugging it off, she continued toward the doors.

She almost reached the doors when she was suddenly pulled to the side of the walk way. She was shoved against the brick wall. Kagome didn't have time to react before she heard a vicious growl. Her eyes focused on the figure in front of her. Kagome was shocked.

There stood a tall demon. It was a fox standing on its hind legs. It's teeth were bare. Saliva dripped from the corners of the monsters mouth, signaling the need for her sweet flesh. Its sapphire orbs starred down with such lust for her blood. Her eyes grew heavy with tears as she began to push herself closer to the wall. She whimpered as the growl grew louder.

I'm going to die!

Suddenly the demon lashed out. She screamed and shut her eyes. She waited. Nothing happened. She slowly opened her eyes. She didn't see anything. The faint sound of giggling came to her ears. Her eyes widened and she looked down to her feet.

There sat the little fox demon, Shippo. He was laughing and rolling in the grass. Kagome grew stern.

"You should've seen your face!" He rolled onto his stomach and began kicking his legs. "You looked soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo scared! Gosh I should've gotten that on camera!" Kagome's eye twitched.

Suddenly she saw Sango and Miroku in the corner of her eye. Miroku was laughing obsessively while Sango was hiding her giggles within her palm. Kagome shot them a face, that should never have been saw.

Miroku retracted into Sango's arms. "what has been seen cannot be unseen." He buried his head into Sango's breasts. "I pray for poor Shippo's soul." Sango patted his head agreeing.

Shippo continued to roll on the ground, tears now falling from his eyes. He then rolled onto a rough object. His laughter stopped when he noticed what it was. His eyes traveled up the long legs of a fuming Kagome. He could feel her anger beaming down onto his body. His pupils dilated when he heard her growl. He quickly tried to scramble away, but she grabbed him by his shirt collar. He kicked violently while she lifted him to eye level. He looked straight into her eyes and screamed. Her eyes seemed to have fired burning inside.

"Get ready to fly." She whispered to him.

He cringed. She kicked him. She kicked him so hard, that he literally went flying across the yard. He screamed all the way there. Rubbing her hands in satisfaction. She straightened herself up and tightened her hair. She smiled at the world and walked towards the front door.

"Gaah..." Miroku pushed Sango back a bit as Kagome walked past. Miroku and Sango watched as Kagome slowly made her way towards the front doors.

"That is one scary girl Sango." Miroku whispered to her, still latched to her.

"True monk, very very true." She whispered back. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome continued through the classes. She noticed that Inuyasha wasn't in the Culinary class today.

To be in fact, she hasn't seen him at all. She didn't worry much. She didn't want to see him. She just couldn't wait for 5th period. She tapped viciously, waiting for the bell. The smell of bananas was in the air due to the assignment of banana bread, but she was already finished, so she waited. She wanted to leave. She wanted to see Naraku. She wanted to hug him. She wanted to accept him.

The bell rang. Quickly she grabbed her bag and headed down out the door. She made it down the long hallway towards the room 669. She began to notice the decline of students, she grew excited.

Then she saw one person. A long ebony braid flowed down his back.

Cringing a bit, she noticed it was Bankotsu. She slowed a bit, but felt like a coward. He was walking very slowly, and if she just waited behind, class would be over by the time she got there.

She inhaled very quietly, trying to not get him to notice. She took a couple steps, trying to make her steps hidden. She then began to speed up a bit. She wanted to pass him and just go into the classroom.

Right into Naraku's arms.

Looking down, she passed him up.

At that moment, she knew what was going to happen. She was shoved against the wall and pinned there by this very strong boy. Looking into the ocean eyes of her assailant, she knew it was coming.

"Isnt it Naraku's little bitch?" She could smell his breath, it was contaminated with the scent of rotting flesh and alcohol. She knew he wasnt drunk, but she knew he had consumed a couple drinks. Typical High school-er. She noticed he wore a skin tight blood red wife beater and sporting sagging dark blue jeans.

Slob

She growled at him. Smirking at her attempt of being strong, he cupped her chin forcefully. He squished her cheeks together. Staring down at her anger filled face, he chuckled.

"I can tell why Naraku likes you, youre so damn cute." He pinched her face, she tried to shake away but he only squeezed harder.

"What the fuck do you want?" She growled through the caving in of her cheeks.

Smiling again he leaned in closer. "I want you tell me how to break Naraku."

Kagome could see the evil growing in his eyes. Gasping a bit she finally pushed him off.

"Yo. Fuck off. I dont know who you think I am. Im not going to tell you shit about Naraku. Its none of your business." She stepped away from him, trying to get to the class room. Bankotsu then clamped his hand on her shoulder, digging his nails into her skin. Yelping a bit, she quickly turned to him.

He shoved his other hand up behind her head and grabbed a fistful of her hair. He pulled her face to look straight into his eyes.

"You're going to tell me." He growled into her ear. She growled and spat in her face. He jerked her head back even more, cracking her next. She felt her muscles struggle against the tension. Feeling his nails starting to break her tender skin, she jerked her arm.

She felt him release her and push her away. She collided with the wall and held her arm. She looked down at her snow white skin. She saw a bruise begin to form and small spots of blood rising to the surface.

Everyone likes hurting me don't they?

Kagome heard the deep chuckle emit from the man in front of her. She looked up into the dark blue orbs of his. He had his hand on the back of his head.

Scratching his head he continued to laugh.

"I should've noticed!" He brought his hand down and placed it on his hip. "It's so fucking obvious!" He stopped chuckling and smiled grimly at the girl. She sent a smug look right back at him.

"You're the key to his disaster!" He closed in on her.

"The moment you arrived he was on his knees for you." He cupped her face once more.

"He's drooling all over your beautiful body." He turned her head to take a look and her shoulder.

Narrowing his eyes, "He even got the guts to officialize his courting."

She looked straight into his eyes, feeling the evil aura seeping from his skin. She knew something big was going to happen once again. She could feel it. Smiling, he finally released her cheeks.

She quickly sped away, avoiding the extension of the conversation. She pushed open the door to her class room and was greeted with music she didn't particularly like, but at this moment, it seemed soothing.

Scanning the room, she looked for her ebony haired lover. She spotted him.

He's so handsome.

There Naraku stood, his hair pulled back into a high pony tail. He bore a red scruffy jacket with a black tee under it. Dark denim skinny jeans made his thin legs look like they could go on for miles.

He looked up at her. He smiled at her, beckoning her to approach. Ignoring the calling of her name from Kagrua, she quickly sped over to Naraku. She walked up to the tall man, looking up into his ruby eyes.

She set her book bag down and wrapped him in an embrace.

Suddenly the whole room went silent. Kagome knew what was going on.

The students in the room couldn't believe their eyes. They couldn't believe that someone was actually hugging Naraku.

The Naraku.

It took a moment, but Naraku wrapped his arms around the small miko, returning the embrace. Naraku squeezed her tightly. Kagome could hear Kagrua cooing at this public display of affection.

Kagome smiled a bit. Kagome was just happy to be in his arms again. Last night seemed like a dream. Especially waking up in her bed and PJs. She could feel the heat emitting from his body and his beating the same rhythm from last night. All she wanted him to do was to hold her.

She didnt want him to release her. She wanted to stay in his arms forever. She wanted to breathe his air for the rest of her life.

You could say that I fall too deep in love too quickly, but what the hell? Life is a bitch, make it a great ride.

Kagome released him.

Smiling she turned to look back the students. All their eyes averted away and music returned to the room. She chuckled a bit and turned back to Naraku.

Though, when she turned, he was no longer in a great mood. She saw his nose wiggling fiercely.

Damn.

She heard the door open and shut.

"Aniki!"

She knew who just walked through the doors.

Naraku's eyes shot up to door. Kagome felt the anger emit from his body, much like before. She knew he had noticed the mark on her arm. He could smell Bankotsu on her skin.

She quickly pushed against his body, trying to advert his attention.

He looked down at her with questioning eyes.

"We had a talk."

She looked back at Bankotsu, whom was looking at her up and down.

"Just a little one..."
