My schedule is a total bum and it takes away my time to actually think about this story. Still it is kind of cool to see friends again…and catching up with the wasted times. Work is killing me also and I hate when it takes me a million year to freaking update my story! ." Now lets get back to the story. Finally the update that will answer some the questions, that was on the last update. In this chapter Sesshoumaru sounds as if he wasn't involve in Natsuki's death…but can we take everything for granted. Can everything be actually perfect for everyone…and what happens when Kagome and Inuyasha is seen together? Things become more mysterious when a new character appears, a person who comes into view as one of Sesshoumaru's boss…or is he? " Well might as well start before I ask more questions…enjoy people!
Confusing The Hearts Pt 1
How can one truly understand anyone else feelings, if you were being prevented to do so? To be facing a wall so fragile, that one touch could bring it all down. A past… which was supposed to be left forgotten. Memories that comes into mind, harsh or as softly as the wind. I never realized to how fast everything seemed to have been revolving around me. How life was slowly weighing me down…to how Sesshoumaru still confused me. He's like a maze, someone who had showed me the way…and yet now I stand in front of a dead end. I thought I knew him, but I only know the person he wanted me to see. He remains haunted by his past…something that he did not want to share with me. He buries himself in a world he created, though deep inside…he knows reality can't be as beautiful as Eden. A smile… a simple gesture is all he can offer to anyone else. How can someone live on thinking, that he needs to put up a guard whenever someone is around. Is this what he meant, when he said Natsuki's death is what made him what he is? Natsuki Takuya…even her death left something for him. I can never be her…or leave a mark so deeply in someone's heart. And I do not wish to her replacement…so I think I have found what I should do. Avoiding him is the only thing I could do now…because I don't want to hurt him. If I remind him of her...than it's better off if I do. I just wish for him to see…that life is not all about being alone…because this is what he taught me. Now I'm wondering to myself…why do I also hurt when he does as well...
"So yeah as I was saying in the festival two days ago…you totally rocked! Even Mr. Yamasaki said so…and that should be special because his very picky in everything. He even said he was going to talk to you about taking a part in the school play! So what do you say Ms. Higurashi! You would seriously blow people away with your voice!" giggled Ayame, as she walked beside Kagome.
"I'm flattered really Ayame…but I don't want to take more attention to myself as it is. I appreciate Mr. Yamasaki's generosity but I already talked to him and I need time to think about it. I'm sure Mina would do a much better job than I would…it was just luck that I was in the mood," sighed Kagome wearily, as they stopped in front of Mr. Hutada's class. Sango just watched as her friend slide the door open, and turn on the light dryly. Noticing that there something weird about the way Kagome was acting, she started wondering if it got to do with the festival. I already know the painful family past the Higurashi holds…but why do I continue to feel as if it wasn't only thing that is bothering her? Was it possible that she finally remembered holding hands with Inuyasha? And what the heck was seriously happening between her and Sesshoumaru? She's been hanging around him lately that I start to wonder if the rumors were actually true. For three people that didn't mix well in the beginning…they seem to finally come into a peace treaty…I hope.
"Well…fine…do whatever you want but I'm telling you shouldn't throw this away. I'm going to go outside and bother Kouga before launch break is over…so I'll see you both later," smiled Ayame, as she closed the door behind her. Sango's eyes followed Kagome as she walked over to the window, and stared outside.
"Are you sure you want to stay here?" asked Sango, as she leaned her back against the door.
"I'll be okay here Sango…it's too noisy outside…I wish to be alone for a while. I truly sorry if I sound really harsh…but if you don't mind I really need some space. And thank you for spending a couple of minutes walking with me…I needed it too," whispered Kagome weakly, as she tiredly watched the students outside.
"So as I thought…you weren't even listening to one word Ayame was saying before she actually started talking aloud. (Sigh) If that's what you want Kagome-chan…than ill give it to you. When you're feeling well again I need to talk to you about something…" responded Sango, as she slide the door open. Kagome didn't know to how long she continued to look outside, or to how long she persist on stop thinking about what was going through her life.
I came back here to help my family…I came back here to find out who was the false man I've been calling father…I came back here…to prove to everyone that I'm not the same Kagome Higurashi. In the beginning things were going my way…and than the Tashio was thrown in my life again. This life isn't mine alone to do whatever I wish anymore…because what I do now affects many others. Just like…Natsuki Takuya…a life that was ended in such a young age that left two most important people to her wounded in the inside. Sesshoumaru, Natsuki, and Naraku…they were best friends. She was Naraku's girlfriend who was murdered with no justice done. I feel pity for the loves ones that was left behind…and this included the suspect Sesshoumaru Tashio. A young man who is full of mystery, that till now I'm wondering who he truly is. I had seen him give me his simple smile and I had heard him laugh…but those were just parts of his masks. All those times that he had made me laugh…it was just his selfless act that was moving him. Pain that I should have kept to myself…for his is equally painful as mine…even more. To lose someone you care about, and than to be blamed for it…till now. I am disgusted with myself with the jealousy that I feel…and if there was a way I could stop it…I would…but I can't. Natsuki…Though she had passed away…Sesshoumaru…he still thinks of her. He…he…only befriended me because I remind him of her. Natsuki… someone that he couldn't have…because he didn't wish to hurt Naraku.
Kagome placed her forehead against the wall, and closed her eyes. It was everyone's launch break, and yet she stayed in Mr. Hutada's classroom. Just beside her head was the window, to look outside. She listened to the laughers of the students, and the relaxed chattering that was going on.
"There you are…I've been looking all over for you. Why are you staying in this room all by yourself? It's really beautiful outside."
Kagome opened her eyes, and slowly turned around. Sesshoumaru just closed the door behind him, and looked at her with wonder on his face. It wasn't a calm face, but he almost had a smile on his lips. Kagome was quiet…her facial expression not changing. She felt happy when he had chose to stay with her when she asked him, her heart melts when she remembers the kiss he gave her…but her mind screamed when Natsuki images appears into thoughts.
"Oh it's only you Sesshoumaru…well I needed time to think things alone. It's too noisy outside and Ayame never stops talking, so this is like the place that I could be alone. What about you? What are you doing in this place with a boring old lady like me, you should be outside having fun like the others," she whispered calmly, not looking up to him. Her eyes remained emotionless as it gazed down at the reflection of the light on the well-polished floor. There was a serene gentleness in the way he walked toward her, as if he was floating toward. He stopped a couple of feet in front of her, but his eyes never left her face. He already knew why… to why she was acting as coldly as she could be…Naraku had already told him the discussion about Natsuki. To how she was so eagerly trying to find out about the dead girl…something that left him empty inside.
"No…I think I rather stay here with you. Anyway that was a very nice song you sang last night. I never knew you had it in you. How come you never told me that you had such an amazing voice?" he blinked. Kagome lifted her eyes, and her heart sank when she saw the innocence in his eyes. The way he had his head tilted a little bit to the side, and his eyes were like a baby's…showing nothing but pure innocence to his surroundings. Those were not of a killer's eyes but of a vulnerable person…the eyes that he had shown when she was singing.
"Thank you, I just did it for Sango. To tell you the truth I was really nervous, but as I continued on I realized there wasn't anything to be afraid of. I'm sure if Mina would have done a much better job than I have though, and people would have said the same thing. Umm…Sesshoumaru, I know this might sound odd…But I was just wondering to where you went last night after the fireworks I mean. I mean you guys left in a hurry…somewhere important I suppose?" she asked, as calmly as possible. In truth she just wanted to stop talking to him and go somewhere else…his nearness now only made her uncomfortable inside. No it wasn't him that she did want to be around…but she just wished she could push away the uncertainty in her mind. She tried smiling like she would usually would, but nothing happened…her lips would not give her the chance to hide what she was feeling. Sesshoumaru felt the growing tension between them, and could almost read her thoughts. His eyes gleamed with the light, as he slowly shifted it to look outside the window.
"A night job in one of the clubs. You could say we're bouncers," he replied, with a pinch of coldness in his voice. This didn't stop Kagome though, as she continued to stand her ground. Since she can't seem to avoid him, might as well try to start finding out who he truly is.
"You are too young…so are the others. You should know how dangerous that job is…and beside it doesn't suit you at all. A young Taisho as yourself, needn't work…not in my opinion anyway," she said, almost as could as his last response. He looked back at her, but his eyes weren't calm anymore. Though he now looked more serious than before, Kagome could see that she had hit something.
"Why are you all of a sudden interested in finding out more about my life? There is nothing about it to be interested to begin with. Aren't you really trying to find out my past with Natsuki? Or if I killed her because I was jealous of her relationship with Naraku? There is no reason for you to act as if you don't know what happened to her…Naraku already told me the slip of tongue. You have no fault in this for being curious; anyone would have started asking questions. Now tell me where or whom told you about Natsuki…" he hoarsely asked, anger behind them.
"I…care about your life Sesshoumaru. I know I have no right…but I just want to be your friend as well. The incident about Natsuki…I found about her by accident…Inuyasha tried to keep it a secret from me…that's why he told me not to ask any more questions about her. It was my stupidity that drove me…I'm sorry," she mumbled, her eyes slowly softening. She stared up to him, only to see that he had turned his head away. Sesshoumaru didn't want her to see the rage that he seemed to redden up in his eyes, to how he already knew what was going through his little brother's head. Inuyasha might think that he tried preventing Kagome from finding out about Natsuki…but in truth he did indeed wanted to. Kagome in the other hand felt rejection when she saw him turn his head away, but she knew that she couldn't force it out from him. As she sadly looked down to the floor, Sesshoumaru closed his eyes in both in annoyance and anger.
"I see…well thank you for staying by my side," she bowed slowly. He could feel her walk around him, and was now heading straight for the door. When she reached the middle of the room, he decided to open his mouth again.
"I just wanted to forget about everything, as much as Naraku does. I'm sorry if you had to find out about this… but I didn't want to hurt anyone else. If you really want to know how I feel, or if you truly care anything about me at all…than I'll satisfy your curiosity."
Kagome paused where she was…making him understand that she was prepared to listen.
(Flashback)
"Hey Sesshy! Have you seen Naraku?" pouted a middle height girl. Her brown bangs were just like Kagome's…and her hair was almost as long as hers also. She was holding unto her green skirt (uniform), as the wind made it flatter. She looked around the beach, but didn't even see anyone there. The sun was ready to disappear, leaving the place bit chilly.
"I hadn't seen him since class ended. I do remember him saying something about a gift," shrugged Sesshoumaru, looking around the place as well. His black hair was shorter compared to his present one, and was a bit wavy up on a high ponytail. She tiredly put her hair up as well, and placed both of her hands beside her hips. She gave a long weary sigh, and had a look of disappointment with the reason very obvious. Sesshoumaru nudged her closer to him, and placed an arm around her shoulders. He turned both of them around toward the waters, and placed his other hands inside his pocket.
"I'm telling you his up to something…his been acting weird lately…same goes for you. You've been thinking about her again haven't you?" giggled Natsuki, staring up to him.
"Why are you such a nosy brat for? Don't you get enough pleasure in nagging Naraku?"
"Of course she doesn't…that's why I love her."
Sesshoumaru and Natsuki both turned around, to find Naraku walking up to them with a gentle smile on his face. Before Natsuki could start yelling at him, he immediately held out a small wrapped up pink box on his hand.
"Happy Birthday…Natsuki-chan," smiled Naraku, with the softest eyes. Natsuki looked at Sesshoumaru as well, only to find him smiling also.
"You jerks! You planned the whole thing!" she cried out loud.
"D-Don't cry! You haven't even opened up your present," laughed Naraku nervously.
"Yeah…and beside you don't look right crying," chuckled Sesshoumaru teasingly. She gave him the inhuman glare ever, making the young man to back away.
"Umm okay…I'm going to give you two some space," he chuckled, walking away from the two.
He let the waters touch his feet, and started to stare off the distance. He listened as the waves made some sounds, and the seagulls flying around. He was happy for the two, and hoped they actually end up getting married someday. They might not look like the best match to the others that don't know them, but the two perfectly balance out everything. Natsuki is always so hyper while Naraku always wants everything to be under control. He blinked when an arm went around his shoulder, and saw the chuckling Naraku.
"Hey look Sesshy! Look what Naraku gave me! It's a promise ring!" giggled Natsuki, who was happily showing the ring in front of him.
(End of Flashback)
"We were close friends, no one could say that we fought a lot. No…maybe it was a misunderstanding or two, but we were able to pass through it. Natsuki and Naraku loved each other and I was truly happy for them. And yes I envied what they had…because I wasn't strong enough to admit my own feelings to myself or to the person I cared about. Natsuki always encouraged not to give those feelings away…or to forget about that person…so I didn't…till now. It wasn't too long then I realized that the three of us got even closer…they were like a family to me. Than that day came when…when everything changed…I changed…Naraku changed. Natsuki's death is what made me who I am now…someone who can never let go of the past. First I was blamed for her disappearance, than blamed for her death. Eyewitnesses…I don't know if he/she was suppose to help…or help destroy me. I was the last one seen with her, and was immediately placed as a suspect. Everywhere I turned around, I could see the fear and suspicion in everyone's eyes. Even those who acted like my friends…in truth no one believed me. All they see is a criminal…a criminal who ended a sweet and innocent girl's life. Was I hurt by all of this? It didn't really matter to anyone, for they already found me guilty in their heads. All they cared about is a person, a person to whom they could put their anger and every emotion they felt."
There was a long silent… neither one turning around to look. Both of their backs remained facing each other, a way not to see how they were both hurt by this. Sesshoumaru grasped his hands into a tight fist, before closing his eyes. How long did I honestly believe that I could have hidden this from her? I should have said something…but I guess it's too late now. I've let my doubts hurt the person that I've let go…again. Will this curse never leave, until I'm completely nothing?
Kagome could feel her eyes sting, and knew that she was ready to cry. Hearing what his heart truly felt, she almost just wanted to burst into tears. His words didn't needed to be explained, for till now he still grieves for Natsuki's death. Her lips quivered, as much as just wanting to ask for forgiveness. She couldn't understand the pain she felt, and the disgust she felt…with the jealousy she still held.
"Sesshoumaru…I want you to know that I believe you fro the bottom of my heart. I also want you to know that…that I'm not avoiding you for the reason you think. I do not fear you…because you showed me a part of you that you had never shown. You listened to me, and had let me cry on your shoulders. You comforted me even though you had your own painful memories to erase. You smiled at me…smiles that always seem to cheer me up. I can never say that I understand how you feel, because I was never there to begin with. The only thing that I know is that you started to push away everything…and everyone. You put up a wall because you didn't want to be hurt again…just like Naraku. Do you honestly believe that Natsuki would have like seeing you like this?" she murmured softly. While he calmly stared at the wall, she stood there looking down at the floor. Tears flowed down her cheeks, but she didn't wipe them away. Why? She didn't know why…her sympathy for him seemed to have numbed her hands. The truth was always said to set people free…but it can also be the most hurtful way out.
"Thank you for trusting me. I don't know for how long I have waited for someone to actually believe in me. I guess…I have stopped hoping a long time ago. To tell you the truth…I had also stopped caring. For whatever I do…I can never bring her back. I can never…I can never go back to change everything," he hoarsely replied, as he remembered the laughing Natsuki.
"I'm sorry to put you through this…but I just want to know one thing. Did you just befriend me because I reminded you of your lost friend whenever you look at me?" asked Kagome, as she slowly closed her eyes. Whatever his reply would be…she needed to respect his. She waited for his reply…a response that will decide her future action.
"No…it was because I promised her that I will never turn away from my own feelings anymore. And because…I wanted to too. You're my home now…a part of my family," he admitted, his eyes softening. Kagome could feel her heart swelling up with relief…and his words of truth reassured her that she had nothing else to think about. That he actually…was trying to tell her something else. She just needed a reason she didn't find…or anything at all that she could put her mind on for a while. She finally lifted both hands on her cheeks, and almost happily wiped the tears away.
"Thank you…for everything," she smiled gently, as she slid the door open. Sesshoumaru heard the door close once more, letting him know that she had left the place. He walked closer in front of the window, and stared as the students chattered their time away. Though his eyes showed pain, it was over shadowed by his coldness again. He already accepted the change in everyone, as they find out about Natsuki. Kagome…she once again surprised him. Rather fearing him…she pitied him…something he didn't expect.
(Flashback)
Naraku and Sesshoumaru watched as Natsuki floated on her back, while quietly gazing up to the skies. She was happily looking at the ring that Naraku had given her, as she touched it with her other hand.
"Where do you think we stand after 10 years from now?" asked Naraku, with a gentle smile.
"Who knows…we probably go our separate ways. You'll have a bunch of kids with Natsuki…while I'll continue trying to over drive my old man," shrugged Sesshoumaru, as he continued to watch Natsuki.
"We might…but I believe that we'll find ourselves in this same place again. If…If things were different…if she had chosen you…something that should have happened…only if you didn't reject her feelings. You know that I would have supported you guys the same way your supporting us now," chuckled Naraku, as he looked at his friend.
"Yeah…I know. I love Natsuki…as a sister. And I would never do anything to change that…that's why I want to thank you for being there for her," smiled Sesshoumaru, as he stared up to the skies.
(End of Flashback)
Sesshoumaru's eyes sharpened as he felt the door open again, and knew exactly who just entered. From soft to emotionless, his eyes almost changed from color as well. He didn't turn around to give respect, but he continued to look outside the window.
"I heard it was a success, you even have a new member. I must congratulate you Sesshoumaru, for another flawless job," said a mysterious man. He wore a dark brown suit from top to bottom, with a red tie. His dark brown hair was cut formally, and his shoulder length hair was pulled back in a low pigtail. With some help from his cane, he slowly limped to stand beside the young man. Sesshoumaru always wondered what caused the injury to the old man's leg, but kept his silence. The man had to be 50 or around that area, and was not as tall his Sesshoumaru, with a light brown eye color.
"Yes it was and I wonder if it's still necessary to set these boundaries. By the way it looks, this school is already capable to do things by itself. We are not needed here any more…things are as perfect as it can be," said Sesshoumaru seriously, his eyes gleaming. For now he would set aside the complication with Kagome, and focus on business. His facial expression turned into the same ones when they fought with Jinai's gang.
"Ah but that is where you are mistaken my favorite pupil…things can never be perfect forever, sooner or later there will be more trouble to come. I would have gladly handled everything myself…but as you can see I am not in the best situation. I am hoping though that you are not disappointed with the agreement we made many years ago…in fact aren't you enjoying yourself?" said the man with an arrogant voice. With both hands on his cane, the old man stared outside the window.
"How is your wife doing?" asked Sesshoumaru, as he slowly closed his eyes.
"She is doing fine…and your family?" he chuckled.
"Same as always…little Shippo is growing up to be like his old man. Always knows what he wants and getting it. Arrogant little twerp," shrugged Sesshoumaru, placing both hands in his pockets.
"An arrogant little twerp? Now, now…I don't think Natsuki would have liked that. After all…am I that of a bad influence to my grandson? Shippo will grow up to be a proud Takuya someday…with your help of course," he smiled.
"I intend to make him a Taisho…Natsuki left him in my care and to keep my promise to her, he will stay with me. You may continue to visit him if you wish…but I'm warning you right now. I don't care if you are the father of Natsuki, I don't care about the agreement we made, or the fact that you are one of the people covering up for me. I will not hesitate at all if it concerns Shippo's will being. If you try to take him away, I will not need the Taisho's name to take him back," replied Sesshoumaru, but with calmness in his voice. Though there was sharpness in them…no hint that he was bluffing.
"I see you are still cold as ever…and here I thought the rumors were true. Even with that girl around, your still a real Taisho in blood."
"Does it really matter? Either way I am still the same person. Now lets go back to business, what is the next job you want me to do? I'm getting bored with the jobs you have given us lately," muttered Sesshoumaru.
"For now you may keep it low, and enjoy your normal life. $200,000 as promised is already placed in your account, you may go and check it if you wish," laughed the man, with humor.
"There is nothing normal about my life…you of all people should know this," stated Sesshoumaru, as he turned around and headed for the door.
"It's a pity that my daughter didn't choose you…I would have been more proud to call you my son-in-law."
"Your daughter chose well…even through her death she loved Shippo's father. Both Zazushige and Takuya blood flows in the little boys' blood…but he will grow up to be a Taisho."
Sesshoumaru closed the door behind him, the same moment he sealed that promise. He walked through the hallway, and ignored the flirtatious glances he from all of the girls. He continued to wonder to why Natsuki's own father would hire him. Somehow her father specifically chose him…why? Her father was the only one who went against to continue to investigate him (Sesshoumaru) concerning Natsuki's death. Was it possible that…Mr. Takuya…knew to who was the real killer? If he did…why is he keeping it a secret?
"Yo Sesshoumaru my man!" Sesshoumaru lifted his eyes and watched as Ryouki ran up to him.
"What is it you want?" he asked calmly.
"Kouga is getting in a fight with Inuyasha," panted Ryouki.
"Where are they now?"
(7th Period)
Inuyasha walked through the hallway almost looking lifeless…his blood dripping to the floor. It was as if he didn't feel the pain, the wounds that were deepened. Hid eyes continued to look forward with no emotions within them. . It was quiet…only the sounds that came from the blood that dropped on the floor. Since holding her hand in the festival, he wasn't able to think straight, his thoughts were clouded. He wasn't able to think right, even with the fight with Kouga. A fight… that should have been able to stop him, from thinking about her…Kagome. It was a mistake to admit to himself that he still cared for her…now all he can do is think about her every minute…every second.
"Oh my god you're bleeding!"
He slowly lifted his eyes higher, only to see Kagome taking a fast walk toward him. He didn't say anything when she started to examine his hand. She was the last one he wanted to talk to right now…see yes…but talk to hell no. He regretted it big time…now all he wanted to right now was to push her away. Why? He wasn't sure why…maybe because he didn't want to get hurt anymore.
"What in the world happened!"
Inuyasha angrily yanked his hand away, and gave her his best glare. I have to try and push her away…I just have to…
"What is it to you anyway! Just leave me alone!" he snapped, as he tried to pass by her. She quickly got his ear though, and started to yank him to the nurse's office.
"Oww! What the hell is wrong with you woman!" he yelled, trying to push her hand away. He quickly quieted down though, when she turned around and gave him an annoyed glare.
"Hate me all you want…but I'm not going to let go. I don't want the guilt to follow me around."
Inuyasha gave her a surrendered look, and didn't know why…but he followed her. Just to make sure that he wouldn't go anywhere, she held his other unwounded hand. All Inuyasha was able to do was…to look down at their hands…and wonder what was the weird feeling he was having. Once again I failed to push her away…why can't I do it now! Why am I starting to care if I hurt her or not…why can't I stop…why can't I stop…having these feelings for her. Am…am… I really in love with her? Am I in love with the same girl that I succeeded to push away a long time ago…why can't I do it now! When they got to the nurse office, Kagome let him enter first. Before she was able to slide the door shut, a janitor came around the corner.
"Is everything alright ma'am? Saw the blood on the floor and followed it here," asked the man friendly.
"Everything is alright…one of the students just had some accident. I can handle everything from here…do please clean the mess," bowed Kagome respectfully.
"Alright miss…good day," he smiled, as he left. Kagome took a deep sigh, as she slides the door shut. While Inuyasha ran his hand under some cold water, Kagome opened up a cabinet. It was unfortunate that the nurse was out on lunch, but it was just her luck that the nurse forgot to lock the door. It was a very un- professional…but she guessed everyone forgets a thing or two. Taking the stuff she needed, she slowly washed her hands, and waited until he finished doing his. He quietly sat down next to the window, and slowly looked outside. Kagome rolled a small table between them, and sat down across him. It was a surprise that she didn't have to ask him to put his hand on the table, which he did so without saying anything. Taking one of the small towels, she started to wipe off the water and blood off his hand.
"Did you punch a tree or something? (Sigh) I'll need to remove all of the splinters…tell me if I'm hurting you," she calmly stated, as she cleaned the tweezers.
"I can handle it…I ain't no child," he muttered, not even giving any eye contact. Kagome tilted her head so she can see well, while carefully taking care of the splinters. The cold steel didn't even make him squint, something that she noticed right away but decided not to say anything about it.
"Why do you have to be such a tough guys for? Here I am helping you and you can't even say a simple thank you or even appreciate what I'm doing for you," she mumbled.
"Well maybe because I never asked for it. Why are you always so helpful?" he asked, looking down at what she was doing.
"Well it's not like I need a reason to lend a hand. Sometimes I just don't understand you," she mumbled, pausing for a while and looking up to him. Inuyasha almost gasped when he got caught looking at her, and quickly turned his head away with a faint blush.
"Did you ever understand me at all," he spat, with a childish face. Kagome just looked heavenward, before pouring some alcohol in the other towel. She started to wipe it around his wounds, hoping that it wouldn't get infected. While she was doing that, he slowly turned his head back again and watched her secretly. She was in fact very attractive…her eyes were the deepest dark blue he has ever seen. They were so soft, a sight holding so much serenity. To push her away…was this a really good idea? There were so many words that were in his mind that he felt that he was being drowned in confusion. He didn't like seeing her with any other guy…and yet here he was still thinking if that was the right decision. He snapped out of it, when she started speaking again.
"Can you at least tell me how this happened?" she whispered slowly. In truth she wasn't sure if he was going to reply something, but she was trying to show that she was giving a peach treaty. Something inside told her that this was the right thing to do, even though it might seem odd at the outside. It was quiet in the room, something that didn't surprise her. Great Kagome…you should just keep your mouth shut. You just end up humiliating yourself…why do you even bother? It's obvious enough that he doesn't want anything to do with y-
"I got in a fight. I missed. I hit the tree," he briefly replied, taking his eyes off from her.
"Oh I see…well whoever you fought was lucky then. Judging by your wounds I'm guessing that punch of yours was hard," she smiled gently, as she applied some healing ointment. Inuyasha wondered if she was smiling because he had missed, or was it because he answered her?
"Your suppose to tell me that fighting won't get me no where. Not compliment me," he said, almost sounding amused with their conversation.
"Would you actually listen to me if I told you not to?" she said, with a small laugh. Inuyasha looked back to her with a surprise look on his face. Did she just…laugh? Just watching her smile…it was something he realized that he liked seeing. He felt torn to what he was feeling…just being with her confused her. Half of him want to push her away, and yet his other half want to hold her close. But…being with her now…he no longer to wish to push her away. Before he could realize it…he smiled gently as well. For the first time of his life, he actually smiled for a real reason. A reason that was now sitting in front of him. What a fool I am to actually think that I could continue this charade. I already made a mistake…I won't make the same mistake again. The room gave a calming scenery with nobody else, but the two of them. When she started to bandage his hand, and didn't take his eyes off her anymore. She was still smiling…so the smile on his lips never disappeared as well. When she finally finished, he slowly lifted his hand in front of him.
"I did the best I can do. I suggest you go to a real doctor, and check it out just to make sure."
He watched her clean the mess, while he close and open his hand into a fist. To tell the truth, he felt as if she actually did a good job.
"Where were you going before you bumped into me," he asked calmly.
"Eh? Oh my god! I totally forgot the box I was suppose to pick up in the office!" she gasped, as she started to hurrying up cleaning the place.
"You need a hand?"
Kagome looked at him surprised, blinking to herself if she heard it right. Did…did he just actually asked if I needed a hand?
The more she stared at him dumbfounded, the more uncomfortable he slowly got. He almost regretted saying those words, and started to get annoyed by the way she was looking at him.
"W-What!" he snapped, looking away with a small blush. Kagome didn't know if she wanted to laugh, or actually feel bad by the way she just reacted to his question. It was obvious enough that he was embarrassed for lending a hand to her, and now he can barely stop blushing. W-Wait a minute…is he seriously blushing! Inuyasha took a step back, when he noticed that she took a step forward toward him.
"Wh-what are you looking at?" he stuttered, still hiding his face from her.
"Nothing…I just wanted to see something…" murmured Kagome, as she opened the door. First Sesshoumaru…now Inuyasha…what the heck is going on with our world? Both of the Taisho brothers…both of them are actually being friendly toward me now!
"Well are you going to answer my question or are you just going to let me follow you around?" muttered Inuyasha, as he walked beside her.
"Um…sure…that would be nice," she giggled, looking up to him. Inuyasha just couldn't help it, as he continued to blush while turning his head away from her.
He almost looks like a puppy… Kagome just hid her smile, as she listened to him talk about something. I guess…it won't hurt me if I actually try to forget about what happened to Sesshoumaru and I…and weird enough…it's Inuyasha who's helping me…life is so weird…
(Other Side of the building- by the rooftop)
"I have no time for your games Kouga…do not bring anymore problems for me or the others. You despise my brother this is obvious enough…but I will not have you ruin my name for your own personal reasons. Next time you want do something be smart about it…is that understood?" said Sesshoumaru seriously, as he emptily looked toward the houses.
"Yeah I understand," replied Kouga, wiping the blood off his mouth. There was no anger in his voice, but only strict a discipline not to speak any louder. There was no emotion in his eyes…showing that he was not going to disobey anymore.
"I am happy that is settled…I believe I am not needed here anymore. Just make myself clear Sesshoumaru…we did not choose you for nothing…I know you will be honorable enough to keep your part of the bargain," said a female, with a black hair that was tightly put into a bun behind her head.
Her eyes were sharp green, which looked at Sesshoumaru with great intent. Though she was around the 40's, she still had a strong charm about her. She was a petit woman, with long slender legs. She was almost the same height as Sesshoumaru, and was wearing an office like uniform, which was pale brown.
"And as for the rest of you…you all may return to your classes," she snapped, looking at the rest of them. Kouga just annoyingly watch her walk away, and disappeared as she left the rooftop.
"If she wasn't the principal…I totally still bang her," laughed Miroku teasingly.
"Shut up dude…you'd bang anyone with a girl face and with a skirt," said Ryouki, as he looked heavenward.
"That's gross…I mean a guy could look like a girl and could wear a skirt," said Dart, as he looked down at the other side…by the hallway. Kouga remained silent, as he continued to watch the back of Sesshoumaru. He hasn't said anything else…but he just continued to look afar. Naraku silently walked beside Sesshoumaru, while smoking a cigarette.
"Well?" said Sesshoumaru, not even looking at his friend.
"I'm sure now that it was your brother that opened his mouth about Natsuki…Dart and Kai told me that they both saw him burning her picture. He was suppose to have destroyed that picture a long time ago…that idiot is fucking with our heads," said Naraku, sounding mad while he secretly looked at Sesshoumaru.
"Hey! Isn't that Ms. Higurashi…Oh wow isn't this is an interesting site…Inuyasha is actually helping her carry something. That fool…and here I thought he would always be a selfish punk," snorted Dart, as he continued to watch the two by the glass window. Sesshoumaru's eyes squinted, something that Naraku quickly noticed. He almost wanted to pat himself on the back, when he saw that same murderous look in Sesshoumaru's eyes. Well isn't this a very nicely put plan…not long now before he does something about this situation…
Both of them walked toward the middle of the group, who quickly moved and gave way for them. Sesshoumaru eyes lingered over to where he saw Kagome and Inuyasha talking…they seemed to have been enjoying themselves. His face became emotionless, and the wind toyed with his hair.
"Dart I want you to find Kai tell him to go to room 281…he knows what to do. And as for the rest of you fools…call up Jinai and meet with him in the central park. I want him and his group to all come…I need to speak with all of them," said Sesshoumaru sharply, his eyes never leaving the two.
"Umm sure…whatever you say boss," said Ryouki, scratching the side of his cheek. Miroku didn't say anything for he was in fact the best friend of Inuyasha…and he was suppose to stand up for him…but this was Sesshoumaru…with one word he himself could be placed back to where he was before. Sesshoumaru was like the ruler of this place…and whatever he says everyone needed to follow it or else. That's why everyone is always looking whenever they would see Sesshoumaru smiling…because Sesshoumaru…he has never smiled that deeply whenever he was with Kagome. Is this one reason to why everyone seems to like Kagome…because whenever she was around no one had to fear Sesshoumaru?
"Well? What are you all waiting for?" said Naraku, looking at everyone.
The group just looked at each other, and shrugged as they all went to their business. Naraku waited for them to all disappear, before opening up the subject again.
"What do you want me to do?" he asked, looking over to where Kagome was laughing. As Sesshoumaru watch Kagome laughing, and his brother smiling about something, the more his eyes seemed to have darkened.
"You know what to do…if you have to become more persuasive to get something out of him do it…even if your fist want to have fun let them, just make sure no one sees you. Understand?" said Sesshoumaru, as he walked away. Naraku blew out a smoke, as he smiled evilly as tossed his cigarettes away. Well I'm certainly going to enjoy getting something out of you Inuyasha…and if I can't…than maybe my fists can…
