Disclaimer: I do not own anything Inuyasha.

AN: I know these things are annoying, but I have to let you all know that I had planned on publishing an almost 25 page chapter. After looking at it, I decided that it needed to be divided into 2 chapters Just an Ordinary Wednesday . . . Not--Part 1 and Part 2. I put a little citrus flavoring in the beginning of this chapter. I promise the big fat lemon will be posted in part 2. So, Part 1 contains some very mature subject matter sexual in origin.

Chapter 10 – Just an Ordinary Wednesday . . . Not--Part 1

TIME TO START THE DAY

(ALERT: Do not read if you are not mature enough—you have been warned. Oh, yeah, if you blink while you are reading you may miss it.)

Kagome was sound asleep and in the middle of a very perverted dream that would make Miroku seem like a saint. Sesshomaru had been awake for the past fifteen minutes. The scent of his very aroused female lured him from his slumber. Amused with what was going on, he watched Kagome writhe and softly moan in her sleep, "Oooh, Sesshomaru. Yeah right there, mmmm." He smirked and thought, 'this is going to be one hell of a wake up call for her.'

Sesshomaru's beast had convinced his master to make her dreams come true. After all, he only wanted Kagome to be happy and get whatever she desired. Carefully he pulled the comforter and sheets off of them. His eyes delightfully roamed over her scantily clad body. He lightly placed a hand on one of her thighs causing her to jerk her knee up and slide back down to the bed slightly spreading her legs as she continued to respond to her erotic dream. He licked his lips as he carefully moved himself so that he was kneeling between her legs. The sight of the soaked cloth barely covering his desired target and the heavy scent of her arousal was not helping him in sticking to his plan. Ignoring the pain of his growing erection, he slid his hands underneath her knees hooking them over his shoulders. He gently reached his hands around her inner thighs and hooked two clawed fingers around the strip of cloth covering her hidden treasure and pulled it to one side. Sesshomaru's eyes began to bleed red as his lust to take Kagome grew. His heavy sigh caressed her heated slit causing her to thrust up toward his face. Mesmerized by the mass quantity of her feminine juices he mused, 'Ah, the sweet nectar of my goddess.' (I know it sounds horny—I mean corny.) He leaned forward and, using his entire tongue, licked in between her nether lips in one slow hard motion from bottom to top in an effort to consume her nectar all at once.

Kagome's eyes flew open and her knees jerked up involuntarily striking Sesshomaru on either side of his head surprising him. He jerked backwards and fell away from Kagome holding the sides of his head, "OW!" he yelled in pain as he fell backwards so that he was lying on his back. Meanwhile, Kagome's legs that resting on his shoulders were tossed upwards when he jerked back and fell back down to the bed with a hard thud, at least she thought it was the bed until Sesshomaru howled in pain as he moved his hands from head to his groin and turned on his side. "OH! I think I'm going to die!" He grunted out as his face turned almost the same color as his stripes.

"Oh my god, Sesshomaru," Kagome gasped, "I am so sorry." She crawled over to him to offer her comfort.

He put up one hand to keep her at bay and managed to strain out through a groan, "I'll . . . be . . . okay." He was now panting trying to make the immobilizing pain leave his body. Kagome still tried to comfort him but her intensions were again declined by the dog demon. Just then the alarm clock went off—it was time to get up and start the day.

"Fine," Kagome said in a hurt tone, "That's what you get for doing something you weren't given permission to do in the first place." She jumped out of the bed, picked up the beeping alarm clock and hurled it onto the floor and ran to the bathroom to take a shower.

Sesshomaru closed his eyes squeezing out the tears of pain that had welled up in them. He focused on his breathing trying to calm down so he would not pass out from the pain. As his panting slowed to deep controlled breaths, he thought out loud, "That's the last time I take advice from you." His shamed beast tucked its tail between its legs and laid down putting both paws over its head trying to hide from its master. Sesshomaru laid on the bed and tried to concentrate on something other than the extreme pain was experiencing as he waited for his turn in the shower.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Neither Sesshomaru nor Kagome said one word to each other after the "wake up call" incident. It wasn't that they were mad at each other it was that they felt awkward about what had happened. The silence continued as Sesshomaru drove her to school. When he pulled up and stopped in front of the school, he reached out and touched Kagome on her arm before she exited the car. She turned to him and he smiled before he said, "It wasn't your fault and I still love you." He leaned over to kiss her goodbye. She leaned in as well so their lips briefly connected.

"I love you too," she said smiling back at him as she got out of the car and shut the door. She started to walk to the school doors when she heard him honk at her. She turned to see the window rolling down.

"I have a meeting with Naraku at his company this morning and will probably be there most of the day," he told her as he waved goodbye, rolled up the window and drove away.

Anyone mentioning Naraku's name or even the thought of his name or anything about him made Kagome cringe. She was startled out of her thoughts when someone came up behind her and yelled "Boo!"

"Oh god," Kagome exclaimed, "Damn it, Sango. You scared the crap out of me." Her best friend embraced her tightly.

"I'm so glad to see you at school today," Sango said. "We have a lot to catch up on, if you know what I mean," she stated winking at Kagome.

"Yes," Miroku butted in the conversation, "That was quite a little lip-lock you had going on with Sesshomaru. Makes me wonder what you two were doing last night."

"Shut up, you pervert," Kagome said as she hit him as hard as she could on his arm with her fist.

Miroku grabbed his upper arm where she had hit him and yelled in a child-like tone, "Oooow! That Hurt!"

"Shut up, you big baby," Sango said as she latched herself to on of Kagome's arms. "Come on, Kagome. We're going to be late." The two girls walked into the school and headed to their first period class.

"So where are Rin and Inuyasha?" Sango asked her friend.

"I'll let them explain everything when they do get here," Kagome stated not wanting to recall last night's activities at he Taisho mansion.

"Okay," said Sango before they were interrupted by their drama teacher.

"Miss Higurashi, I'm glad to see that you are well enough to return to school," Mrs. Johnson said.

"Thank you, Mrs. Johnson," Kagome replied politely. She started to enter the classroom but was stopped by Mrs. Johnson's hand. Kagome gave her teacher a questioning look.

"Principal Hoshiyomi wishes to see you in his office this morning," Mrs. Johnson explained, "You may wish to bring your things with you."

Kagome had a confused expression on her face as she looked from her teacher to Sango. Sango had the same expression as she looked at her friend and shrugged her shoulders indicating that she did not know anything about the meeting. Kagome turned around and headed down the hallway to the principal's office.

IN THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE

The office secretary looked up to see Kagome entering through the door. She smiled and instructed the girl, "Good Morning, Kagome. Please have a seat and he'll be right with you." Kagome sat down in a chair against the wall and began to nervously pick at imaginary lint on her skirt. It wasn't until 30 minutes after the tardy bell rang that Vice-Principal Koyuki called Kagome into the principal's office.

"Good Morning, Miss Higurashi," Mr. Hoshiyomi greeted the senior, "Please, take a seat." He motioned his hand toward one of the two chairs in front of his desk. Miss Koyuki moved behind his desk and sat in the corner to the right of him. Kagome closed the door behind her and apprehensively sat down in the chair closest to the door. "I see you're a little nervous as to why you were summoned to my office." She quickly nodded twice as she tried not to look into their eyes. They were really making her nervous like she had done something wrong.

Principal Hoshiyomi smiled in an attempt to placate the nervous student and to be honest it wasn't working very well. Kagome managed to smile back a little as she waited for his explanation.

"I'm very glad to see that you are well," he started with the pleasant part of the conversation. "I was quite surprised to hear from the hospital that you were released yesterday afternoon. I suppose you injuries looked much worse than they really were."

Kagome instinctively reached a hand to the back of her head where the stitches were and said, "The doctor had to use 15 stitches to sew up the gash on the back . . . ." She switched the subject as soon as she got a weird feeling in her gut, "Don't I need to have a guardian or a lawyer or something?"

The principal dropped his smile and took a deep breath before saying, "If you wish to have someone present during this conversation, then, by all means, call the representative of your choice and we shall continue." He slid the phone on his desk toward Kagome and sat back in his chair with his hands folded in his lap.

Kagome picked up the receiver of the phone and dialed the number to the mansion. It rang a few times before Izayoi answered in a sing-song tone in voice, "Goood Mooorning, Taisho residence." She swatted her mate's mischievous hands off her hips.

"Mama," Kagome said in a shaky voice as if she were about to cry.

"Kagome, what's wrong dear," Izayoi immediately became serious.

Inu, concerned for his ward, took the phone from his mate and spoke in a commanding voice, "Kagome, tell me what's going on." He listened intently as she explained. "Don't say another word to them, I'm on my way, dear." He instructed his ward and then hung up the phone. "Izayoi," he said turning to his mate with a forced smile, "Call the office and inform them that I will be later than I planned. Wake those two pups of ours up and get them off to school. I am going to take care of a problem Kagome is having at school." He kissed her on her forehead and rushed out the door.

Kagome sat uncomfortably for another 30 minutes before Inu finally arrived at the school and barged through the principal's office door with no announcement. With the Inu Yokai's towering presence, the office seemed to shrink in size. He looked at his ward and smiled as he placed a reassuring hand on Kagome's shoulder calming her nerves somewhat. She raised one side of her mouth in a lop-sided smile to acknowledge her surrogate father. The vice-principal swallowed nervously and Hoshiyomi raised an eyebrow, "Mr. Taisho, I presume," he deduced as he held out his hand. Inu, sizing up his opponent, stared down at the principal making the lesser demon feel uncomfortable before taking the offered hand before him in a brief handshake. "P-please have a seat," he stuttered. Inu sat in the chair next to Kagome.

Inu, who was not one to beat around the bush, came out and asked, "What is all of this nonsense about?"

Hoshiyomi was a bit taken aback by the dog demon coming into his territory and trying to take over the situation. "Mr. Taisho, I assure you that this is not nonsense. It is in fact very serious."

"Explain yourself," Inu commanded him.

The principal narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Your ward, Miss Higurashi, was involved in an on-campus altercation. Granted the instigators were arrested and expelled from school, Miss Higurashi was also part of the disturbance. We are happy that she was not seriously injured, but she must also be punished for taking part in the fight. She is to report to our Alternative School to continue her education until the end of the semester. In all honesty, she's lucky that the student Kagome assaulted did not press charges to have her arrested."

"I see," Inu stated as he stared at the principal with no emotion showing on his face. "Are there any other options from which Kagome may choose?"

"Well," Hoshiyomi began, "Since she is a senior and only two weeks away from graduation, home schooling is out of the question."

"If I may be as so bold to suggest something," Vice-Principal Koyuki interrupted, "Kagome can check out of school and attend a class allowing her to obtain her GED."

Inu looked at Kagome waiting for her to answer. Biting her lower lip, she looked at her guardian with uncertainty in her eyes. He gently smiled at the poor girl and said looking directly at Kagome, "I will not have a member of my pack treated like a common bullying thug by having her attend the Alternative School. I see nothing wrong with obtaining a GED to gain access to collegiate studies." He knew he gave the right answer when he saw a warm smile spread over Kagome's face. He turned to the principal and said, "What papers do we need to fill out to withdraw her from this school?"

Koyuki left the office only for a moment and returned with the required paperwork and handed it to Inu who quickly read each of the six pages before allowing Kagome to sign anything. The vice-principal once again left the office. They filled in the needed information and Kagome signed and dated the bottom of each page as did Inu. The papers were handed to Hoshiyomi who in turn handed Kagome a small cardboard box filled with the personal contents from her locker. As she handed over the textbook she had carried to her drama class, Koyuki returned with a folder and handed it to Kagome. "This is a copy of your transcript in case you need it for anything," she said. "And, please, let us know if you need anything else."

Inu stood up and reached inside his jacket pocket and pulled out a card and said, "Yes, there is one more thing you can do for us," he handed the small card to Hoshiyomi, "Please pass this on to the school district's administrator. It's the name, address and phone numbers of our attorney. He will be contacting the school district on behalf of Kagome regarding the lack of security at this school." With that said, he ushered Kagome out of the office and out of the building just as the bell releasing students from second period rang.

When they reached his car, Inu asked Kagome, "Are you okay with the choice we just made, dear?"

Kagome took a deep breath and smiled, "Yes, I'm okay with the decision. I just have to say one thing, though."

"And what is that my dear," he asked as he opened her door.

"Is that what it's like to do business with you? Cause if it is, I feel sorry for your competitors." She commented as she got in the car.

He smiled and asked, "What competitors?" He shut the door and went to the driver's side to get in.

"Riiight," Kagome said sarcastically as she laughed at his comment.

"Now," Inu said turning on the ignition, "Let's go tell your mother what happened."

AT THE TAISHO MANSION

Izayoi spent the better part of an hour and a half trying to rouse her lazy pups out of their beds in the pool house. She finally got them to get up when she threatened to elaborate on what she and Inu did with the strawberries and whipped cream last night. The three pack members began their short walk back to the mansion so she could fix them something to eat. The entire time they walked, Inuyasha complained, "I don't see why we have to go to school. We've already missed our first two classes and most of third period."

"You have to go to school to get an education so you can decide what field of work you wish to enter when you graduate," she told him as she reached a hand to his head and ruffed up the hair in between his ears.

"Mo-om," he whined swatting her hand away, "I'm not a baby any more."

"You're still my baby and so is Rin," Izayoi said as she put her arm around her daughter. She then continued her lecture about their education, "You need to get into college to learn about something you are interested in. You don't want to work for you father do you?"

"Why not? Sesshomaru does," Inuyasha made a point and then made another on when he say his dad's car pulling up with Kagome inside, "Besides, if Kagome doesn't have to be at school today, why should we?"

Izayoi saw Inu opening the car door for Kagome who was carrying a box full of things with her.

"Dad! Kagome!" Rin smiled as she shouted. She ran towards the two pack members exiting the vehicle and flung her arms around her dad's neck to hug him.

Izayoi and her son hurried over to the two pack members who just arrived. She looked at the box in Kagome's hand and asked, "What happened?"

"Let's all go inside and I will explain everything," Inu said as he walked behind his family members ushering them inside the mansion.

AT NARAKU'S OFFICE

Naraku sat behind his large, elaborately decorated cherry wood desk waiting for Sesshomaru's answer.

Sesshomaru took a sip of his tea before addressing Naraku's proposal, "I believe a partnership would not be very profitable for either Western Lands Technologies or Onigumo Enterprises at this time. With the recent merger talks we had with Totosai Manufacturing, I'm surprised that we have not encountered any corporate spies trying to steal the deal away from us. I'm sure my father and the rest of our company's board members would agree. Perhaps we could discuss your proposal another time with all the board members present. I'm sure they would be interested in what you and your company have to offer."

"I see," Naraku stated flatly. "There is absolute nothing that I can offer that would sweeten the deal for you, old friend?" He asked slyly.

"I'm not partial to sweets, old friend," Sesshomaru replied, "You should know that since we were best friends growing up together."

"Well, there is one delectable sweet thing to which you are partial," the spider hanyou said in a way that made Sesshomaru's beast stir and raise its hackles, "How is our dear . . . Kagome?"

Sesshomaru suppressed his urge to rip out every thing necessary for Naraku to speak for even referring to HIS Kagome in that manner. He smiled briefly as his beast gave him the image of an eviscerated Naraku writhing in a pool of his own blood and calmly said, "Kagome is doing well, actually." He set down the tea cup he was holding on the table next to his chair. He looked directly at Naraku when he said to his 'old friend', "She has agreed to be my mate."

Naraku kept a neutral expression on his face but his body slightly stiffened in jealousy as he heard the words fall from Sesshomaru's lips. He then smiled and said, "Really. That's wonderful news. I always new you had a thing for her. Congratulations." He stood up and extended his hand toward the Inu.

Sesshomaru stood as well and accepted Naraku's offer of congratulations. "Thank you," he said as he shook Naraku's hand, "No if you'll excuse me, I have a meeting with my father."

Naraku walked from behind his desk and escorted Sesshomaru to the door but did not open it. Instead he added a statement, "I still have not forgotten."

Sesshomaru questioned Naraku with a look.

"Kagura will be delivered as promised," he assured Sesshomaru.

"I had no doubt that you would not keep your word, Naraku," Sesshomaru said as he opened the door and walked out down the hall to the elevator.

Naraku watched until the dog demon was gone. He slammed the door shut so hard the door frame cracked not allowing the door to shut properly. He then walked back over to his desk and punched the corner so hard it splintered into at least 1000 pieces on the floor. He snatched up the phone and began barking orders, "KANNA! Get someone up her to fix my door and get me a new desk! I don't want anymore phone calls today and cancel all meetings for the rest of the day! I'll be in my private study relieving this pain making my head throb!" He slammed the receiver down into the cradle and stormed into his private study and slammed that door shut without it braking. He plopped down on his couch with thoughts anger and jealousy racing through his mind, 'Who does that mongrel think he is? First he refuses my partnership offer and then he informs me that he is going to take my bitch away from me by mating her. Sesshomaru Taisho, you will rue the day you stood in the way of Naraku Onigumo and what he desires most.' He sighed heavily as his mental ranting exhausted him. He grabbed the small recorder sitting on the table and placed the earphones in his ears. Turning the device on, he smiled as he listened to the suggestive conversation he had recorded between Sesshomaru and Kagome yesterday. Naraku closed his eyes and relaxed as he fantasized about future sexual escapades involving him and his soon to be mate . . . Kagome.
