Ch. 20: Hide and Get Lost
Kagome woke up early on a Saturday morning in her room, she had just been dreaming about the afternoon with Sesshomaru in the guesthouse. She sighed and put a wide smile on her face, it wasn't just a dream, it had happened. She did something she thought that she would never do with him of all people and it felt right.
She snuggled deeper into her blankets…and his arms, halfway laying on him and tried to go back to sleep in order to preserve the serene tranquility that was surrounding them. This was the most peace that she was going to get before she stepped foot outside anywhere.
Whenever she walked to classes, she noticed all the looks that she was getting from the girls. As it's been said, she learned many things about Sesshomaru and what she learned this time is that those who date him, will have a lot of enemies. She never got so many dirty looks before.
'Brainless whores, they should be mad at him for dumping them. I pity them for being so blind but I hope that I won't end up like them.' She thought as she closed her eyes.
She was so content that she didn't hear the long but soft creek of the door as it opened. She also didn't hear the soft footsteps that made its way into the room or the calm breathing that seemed to hover over her and her newest pillow. She didn't even feel the covers being pulled back just past her shoulders.
"Aw damn it Sesshomaru, you have the girl in your claws, mark her already and get to work on my grandkids."
That certainly woke her up and when she saw the annoyed face of Toga, staring down at her neck, she screamed hurting his ears and waking Sesshomaru up, also hurting his ears. Sesshomaru sat up quickly causing Kagome to go tumbling down on the floor.
He rubbed his sensitive ears and said, "Damn Kagome, what was that…" He took one look of the extra person in the room and slapped himself on the forehead as he mumbled, "Of course."
Time to play their favorite game, hide and get lost.
After struggling to get past him, they went outside together to get a head start away from him before he caught up. He always managed to catch up with them but usually by the time he does, they could have done many things together.
Meanwhile, lurking around close but not close enough to be sensed was Kagura. Kagura was pissed, she never felt so mad in her entire life. When Yura came back in and told them of her discoveries a few weeks earlier, she tried not to think of anything because she knew Sesshomaru better than anyone did. She was sure that he would dump her, so there was really nothing to be worried about… Right? Still, even if the theory was true, it bugged her to the point that she couldn't sleep well at all. She had to know if they were really together or if he was faking it.
She basically followed them the next day after her latest nightmare and got the truth she wanted when Sesshomaru pulled her into an empty classroom. Let's just say that when you spy on people, you would sometimes wish you didn't. She knew that Naraku had a plan but it was taking too long. Just why did they have to wait in the first place? She decided to just take things into her own hands and try to screw things up as best as she could.
She found them both sitting at the food court enjoying some sushi together. They looked so cozy with him holding her in his lap and her feeding him. Both had large smiles on their faces and laughing when he would tickle her sides and grab her butt on occasion and she would playfully slap him on his chest. It made Kagura SICK!
She put on a very evil little smirk as she strutted over to them. She decided to go really slutty today. She wore something that resembled a bra made of stretchy dark blue denim with a black fade. It pushed her breast up and made them look as if they were going to bust it. She wore skintight short shorts that matched her top and the rim of her black thong showed over the top. She wore three-inch knee high black leather boots, some jewelry, make-up, and had her hair put up as always.
Sesshomaru saw her walking up to them, just what he needed someone else to give him a headache. He thought that she finally gave up on him a long time ago, he should have known though.
"Hey Sesshy." She chirped standing next to them.
Kagome couldn't believe the nerve of her, then again, who could. "Uh…he isn't alone you know."
Kagura went from happy fan girl to jealous twit as she turned to Kagome and said with emphasis, "Oh, hi freshman."
"Oh, so you didn't call me a bitch today, I guess I'll just go with brainless and leave off the whore." Kagome said with a smile.
Kagura rolled her eyes and then continued to ignore Kagome. She was about to say something to Sesshomaru but he beat her to it.
"Uh, Kagura look I'm really not in the mood for your bullshit so instead of trying to get you to leave because I know you won't, I'll leave." Sesshomaru said as he stood up taking Kagome's hand in his and started walking off. "Oh and here's some advice, the strip clubs don't open until 9:00, so do the world a favor and put your clothes back on."
Kagura looked at them with wide eyes, she didn't even get to try to seduce him (as if it would have worked anyway). Her blood was boiling, time to take a different approach.
The two lovebirds had to doge inside of a movie theater because Sesshomaru's dad had sniffed them out like a bloodhound and was hot on their trails. Hopefully the popcorn butter and nacho cheese smells would hinder their scents long enough for him to give them some more alone time. Sesshomaru loved the thought of being in a dark place with Kagome. Too bad the mood had to be ruined by all of the other people there to watch the movie. Stupid people.
Although they lost Toga (for now), Kagura was the one to find them once again. She had to bring out the big guns now. This time she was going to use a very expensive perfume that had demon's pheromones in it. It would amplify her scent and make it appealing to him. Because he is a dog demon, his sense of smell is the top of all demons and the perfume would overpower him. She had no idea why she didn't use this method before.
She walked out the bathroom where she applied the perfume, still in her stripper uniform might I add, and headed to the theater that she saw her two targets walk in. Kagome was trying to watch the opening to the movie but it was hard to focus when SOMEONE was nuzzling her neck and pulling at the bottom of her shirt trying to get their hands up said shirt.
"Come on fluffy evil, there's people around us and I'm trying to watch the movie." Kagome whispered with her hands holding his wrist from going even further.
"Screw the people and the movie, let me spoil it for you. The girl is really an assassin who's looking for another assassin who killed her parents. She runs into a man and starts to fall for him but he's really the assassin she's looking for who is also searching to kill her fiancé for killing his father resulting in the death of his mother. They find out about each other and fight. She catches him and before she kills him, he tells her all about her past and that he was hired by her own fiancé to kill her parents to get her fortune. They go after the man but he runs off, the end." He said as he continued to get under her shirt.
As Kagome was failing to get him to stop, she couldn't even listen to his spoiler because of the effects that he had on her. Kagura made her way to the row behind them.
"Excuse you…out of my way…hey, move your knees before I move them for you."
"Well maybe if you didn't have such a fat ass, my knees wouldn't be in the way."
Kagura rolled her eyes and proceeded to squeeze down to the desired seat. She sat down in a seat directly behind Sesshomaru and was about to put her arms around him when the girl on side of her whispered, "Uh, I'm sorry but you can't sit here, that seat is for my boyfriend."
She ignored the girl and was about to go on with her plans again when the girl spoke up again, "Can you please find another place to sit, this seat is reserved."
Kagura looked at the girl "Like I care, and where is this boyfriend, from the looks of you he's either not real or ditched you for someone better looking. I wouldn't blame him you ugly wench. I bet he's going out with you out of pity because you will never be liked."
The girl was sensitive and couldn't take the harsh words that Kagura said. She wasn't a real looker with her long black hair in low braided pigtails, glasses, and large boyish looking clothes but she wasn't too bad either. She also had some hard times in her past where her classmates would tease her because she looked like the little smart goody two-shoes girl that usually never gets the popular guy she likes because he rather be with the bad girls in stories. The poor girl stood up and left down stairs and out the theater.
With her distraction gone, she proceeded with what she was doing. "Hey Sesshy." Kagura said as she slipped her arms around Sesshomaru from over her seat.
Sesshomaru just ignored her and continued with trying to move Kagome's bra up. Kagome was loosing touch with the real world. She just couldn't help but feel heated when he touched her so she didn't even realized that Kagura was there.
"Sesshomaru…pay attention to me." Kagura whined as she tried to lean further to him.
Sesshomaru looked up for a brief moment of showering Kagome's neck with affection before picking up where he left off to shush her and whispered, "You're in a theater so shut the hell up."
Kagura growled hating the fact that he was giving her the cold shoulder and that her expensive perfume didn't seem to be working. It had to work it just had to. When she was walking out the bathroom, twenty demon males crowded her, so what was wrong? She started to fan perfume scent to him hoping that. He would catch it now.
Sesshomaru stopped what he was doing and sniffed around a little. He sniffed until his head turned and his eyes met Kagura.
"What's that smell?" He asked still sniffing.
Kagura leaned forward more trying to show off her cleavage, which she really didn't have to do since it was already out. "It's my new perfume."
"Your perfume you say?"
Kagura just smiled wickedly, her plan had worked.
"Yea, you like?"
He smiled at her and raised an eyebrow, and even in the darkness with only the screen providing light, she could see that his eyes were full of mischief and held a slight tinge of lust. "It didn't work on me before and it won't work now. Do yourself a favor and take a shower, whatever that crap is that you're wearing, smells horrible."
Scratch that, it didn't work. Now she remembered why she never tried this method. She tried it before sometime after they broke up. He said it stank then too. Apparently, he's too strong to be lured in by fake pheromones.
Kagura was about to put her arms around him again as he went back to business when she heard, "There she is."
Kagura decided to ignore it, she had more important things to do. She was about to put her arms around him again when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked up to see a tall gorgeous guy with short red hair, bright green eyes, and what seemed like a nice muscular build (not Shippo, sorry he's not in this one).
Kagura sat back and smiled trying to look sexy as she said, "Hi there, if you want to sit down, this seat's not taken."
"Thanks." He said with a low baritone voice that reminded her of Sesshomaru but with the absence of pride and a hint of annoyance. "I would love to take it, since it is my seat."
"Got that right." The words didn't click in Kagura's head.
"Hey, get your ass out of my seat, me and my girlfriend were here first."
"Girlfriend?" Kagura said dumbly. She looked past him to see the girl that she made cry holding a bucket of popcorn.
It appears that, the girl's boyfriend was in line to get some snacks and we all know how long the lines and getting the food can take. He was just paying for his popcorn when his girlfriend came crying to him and being the good boyfriend he was, went with her to fix the problem.
"Is there a problem here?" One of the people working in the theater said.
The boy pointed to Kagura and then all of the people who she pissed off, except Sesshomaru and Kagome because they were a bit occupied at the moment, basically told the worker their complaints and before she knew it she was being forced to leave.
"Get your hands off me, I don't know where they've been. Sesshomaru, stop him. Come on, I know you can, I know your dad own this theater." She said out loud angering more moviegoers. Sesshomaru just looked over Kagome's shoulder and smirked before going back to what he was doing.
Kagura was thrown out of the building then turned, ready to pounce on the two officers that had to escort her out since she didn't want to leave peacefully. She stayed outside of the building for the three hours that the movie went on. She was slowly starting to fall asleep on the bench that was onside of the building when people coming out of the building told her to keep an eye out for her man…oh and the bitch that he's taking out.
"Wow, that was a great movie, you have to take me to see the sequel if there is one." Kagome said as she looped her arm threw Sesshomaru's. He smiled lightly at her, he didn't know how she could pay attention to the movie with him messing with her. He only paid attention to it for a few short times but the parts that he did catch was good.
"Alright then, I'll do that."
Just as they were walking off, Kagura latched on to his other arm and started pulling him.
"Hi Ses…"
"Remove your arm before I rip it off." Sesshomaru said coldly.
Kagura slowly did as she was told. That look in his eyes and his growl complimented with his tone which told her that it was no threat but a promise.
"Sesshy, I…"
"SESSHOMARU! KAGOME! I've been looking all over for you." It was Toga, he finally caught up with them. He searched all outside and inside the theater but couldn't find anything and their scents didn't lead anywhere else so they had to be in there. He couldn't track them properly with the smells that were in the building but he stayed around after getting small hints of where to find them.
For once, both Sesshomaru and Kagome were happy to see the old pervy dog. He was their ticket to get away from the persistent whore.
"Hi dad." Kagome said, she had somewhat gotten used to calling him that.
He is like a father to her, a bad one but a father nonetheless. Her real father died when she was five when her mother was still pregnant with her brother in a car crash. Her father was an army man who was often over seas so she never saw him too often. He was coming home from where he was stationed last to be with his family and a drunk driver hit him on the side he was sitting on. The driver survived with a few broken bones but her father lost his life.
"So I see that my children enjoyed a nice movie. Did anything else happen that may have involved grandchildren?" He asked as he hugged the two.
They both sighed, he was just too impossible to talk to.
"Hi Taisho-san." Kagura said sweetly. She only met Sesshomaru's father a few times when they were dating and she did her best to try to get on his good side.
Toga turned to face the girl, he looked her up and down before saying seriously, "Do I know you?"
Kagura did a little innocent giggle as she said, "Of course you know me silly, it's me Kagura."
Toga tilted his head. Nope, he's got nothing.
"You know, Sess's first girlfriend."
The bell's still aren't ringing yet.
Kagura rolled her eyes for the umpteenth time and said as she rubbed her temples.
"The one who got tripped by Inuyasha and fell flat on my face and my underwear was shown to the world because my skirt ended up flipping back."
This was the only way that he knew her. Even when she was dating Sesshomaru, he never remembered her name. This happened when they first started dating and she begged him to see his parents so she could start trying to get on his good side. Inuyasha and Miroku were there as well and they already didn't like her after how she treated them in school. They came up with a plan to humiliate her. Miroku grabbed her butt then ran off with her chasing after him. She then ran past Inuyasha who tripped her and everyone saw her fall, including Sesshomaru and Toga, and the rest was history.
"Ah…now I know you." Toga said as Kagome tried to hold in her laughter that begged to get out and Sesshomaru was grinning at the memory. It was the only good thing that happened in their relationship if he could recall.
Toga then said with a cheery smile, "I don't like you, never have and never will. You were the only girl that I'm glad he dumped. I always thought of you as a whore and your choice of outfit proves it. Come on kiddies, let's go to a restaurant, all of this searching has gotten me famish plus I'm ready to leave, something smells disgusting."
Kagura was mortified as she watched the trio walk away laughing and jumped into their respectable vehicles. Toga got in a silver 2008 Lincoln MKS while Sesshomaru and Kagome got in his Jaguar. Oh, this meant war now. Time to use the secret weapon.
After eating a nice meal and escaping from the clutches of Toga's perverted lectures, Sesshomaru was walking threw the park with Kagome on his back giving her a piggyback ride. She had somehow got him to agree after the many times he protested. She thought that she was never going to get the chance but he surprised her when he willingly agreed. She soon found out why he let her when she felt his hands grabbing her butt.
"Sesshomaru!" Kagome said out loud as she tapped him in the back of his head.
"Hey, if I'm carrying your fat ass then I should get something out of it too." He said with a grin.
Kagome scowled at him as she growled, "I do NOT have a fat ass!"
"Yes you do, see." He said as he squeezed tight making her squeal. "Ha, and you liked it too."
"Stop it, and no I don't!"
"Well, you didn't say that when…"
"Don't say it you pervert, that's different. I don't like it when you do stuff like that in public."
"But there's no public around so…" He trailed off as he squeezed again.
Kagome gave a sigh of aggravation. "You are so difficult to get along with, why did I agree of being your girlfriend again?"
"Because I'm hot and sexy and you can't live without me."
Kagome rolled her eyes then said, "So cocky aren't you."
Sesshomaru let a very pervy grin spread on his face, "Yea, got that right cocky."
Kagome hit him in the back of his head knowing exactly what he was thinking. "Please keep your mind out of the gutters and mush."
They walked on until they were in their favorite place. They sat together, talk, skipped rocks and to make out occasionally. Sesshomaru then remembered that he bought some snacks with him and went back on the park path to go back to his car to get the food.
Kagome sat back at the trunk of the tree. She was enjoying the nice breeze and the patches of sunlight that made its way threw the branches and leaves of the tree. Although it was still winter, it was slowly starting to get warm so the leaves were growing back signaling that spring was around the corner.
"He's left you, took long enough but damn, I was really hoping to steal him from you though." Kagura said coming from the other side of the path.
"Oh how sad and I would really like to see which plan would have failed. Sesshomaru didn't leave me he would never hurt me. I mean sure, he's a jerk most times but I know he loves me."
Kagura smirked, she was ready to shatter her dreams on what she sees her and Sesshomaru heading in the future. "So…you don't think that you're just another pawn. I mean he seems to love each and every girl that he went out with, including me, and left them all. I bet he never even said 'I love you.'"
Kagome froze a bit, it was true, he never told her those three little words. She knows it's there, it just has to, otherwise he wouldn't be with her…Right?
"Let me tell you, he's never said it to me and I'm not with him. He's never said it to all the girls he dated and slept with and they're not with him. He's never told it to you so you won't be with him eventually either."
Kagome started to feel anger as well as doubt. Anger towards the girl who was pestering her and trying to destroy her relationship because she is jealous. Anger towards the boy who was taking a long time getting whatever he bought with them to eat out of his car. Doubt for the fact that Kagura may actually be right because of Sesshomaru's reputation.
"No, I know what you're trying to do. You are such a jealous whore that you would do anything to get what you don't have." Kagome said as she stood up from her place.
"I may be jealous but you will be just like the others."
Kagome started to walk away down on the path. She just had to get back with Sesshomaru and forget that this conversation ever happened. She had just past Kagura when she heard.
"You like that freshman don't you?"
Kagome stopped in her tracks. She turned around to Kagura who had her back turned to her but holding a small black tape recorder in her hand.
"Ha, don't make me laugh. It was Sesshomaru's voice. He was talking to Kagura. Kagome listened on as the conversation continued.
"I have no interest for anyone and that includes her. She's bitchy and extremely annoying but keeping her around me keeps all the other brainless whores like you away from me."
"So, you're just using her?"
Kagome held her breath hoping that he was just kidding or better yet, talking about someone else but inside she knew that they were talking about her.
"As long as she's useful to me, yes."
"You are truly the most heartless and the hardest to get man alive."
"And don't forget that."
Kagome stood with a blank expression as Kagura turned around and said, "So now you heard it yourself, you're just another one of his many conquests. He's using you and I'm sure that he'll be looking for another bitch to screw with after he's bored with you."
"No…it can't be true…he…I…" Kagome stuttered but was lost for words.
Kagura turned to her and took her hand placing the small recorder in her hand as she said innocently, "Hey, I'm just looking out for you before he breaks your heart. I don't want you to end up like me after all." After saying that Kagura quickly left from the way she came. She sensed Sesshomaru was coming and now that her dirty work was over, she just had to wait until everything else fell into place.
Kagome stood looking at the little tape recorder in her hands trying to make up a reason to why he said what he said but failing to believe every excuse.
"Kagome?" Sesshomaru said behind her, startling her a bit. She quickly turned around and hid the recorder behind her back in one move. "Kagome, are you alright?"
"Y-yea I am." She said knowing that he would still tell that she was nervous.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes and said, "What's that you have behind your back?"
He came over to her about to grab one of her arms but Kagome pulled back. "Stop, I have nothing for you. Take me home, I'm tired."
Sesshomaru was about to get her arms again but gave up seeing that she was mad for some reason. He turned around with a sigh and started walking to his car with Kagome in tow.
Kagura went back to her room happy for wiping that smile off Kagome's face. The moment she closed the door, she was held against it by her throat by Naraku.
She struggled to remove his hand from her but it wasn't going to budge, although he was only a half demon, he was much stronger than she was.
"N-Naraku…let…m-me…GO!" She hissed giving up.
"Where's the recorder?" He said calmly he loosened his grip slightly to allow her to talk better.
"I got tired of waiting, so I let her hear it. She's devastated."
Naraku tightened his grip after she said that. "Next time I tell you to wait, you wait." He loosened it up as he smiled a little and said, "I knew you would be extremely impatient after Yura said that they were together. I was just wondering how long it would take you to crack."
"You bastard."
Naraku shook his head at how naïve she was. "You are in no position to be calling me names sister. You disobeyed me but because I was expecting you to take matters into your own hands, now we can move on to step two."
Kagura tilted her head at him, there's more to whatever the hell he's trying to do.
"Step two?"
Naraku's smile spread as he held up his other hand. Kagura's eyes widened seeing the small object in his hand and wondering how it was going to help them.
Elsewhere…
It had been a few hours now and Toga decided to leave the restaurant. He figured out that when Kagome had excused herself to the bathroom and Sesshomaru went outside to take an important call was just nothing but excuses to escape him once again.
"Just when I thought those two was starting to want to spend some time with me. They just freeload off of me, ditch me, and leave me with the bill, how ungrateful."
Wow, 20 chapters. Never saw it coming and guess what, it's still not over. There's a step two to this evil plan so what is it? Well you'll know soon enough. Take a guess anyway, you maybe right.
Sorry I took so long. This chapter didn't want to be done but once I added Kagura in it, it just seemed to flow in the direction I was hoping it would go. It's not exactly how I wanted it but it's close enough. Don't know when the next chapter will be up since I'm trying to draw some ideas out but keep an eye out for it, I'm expecting Thursday or Friday. Hope you enjoyed it.
