Sesshoumaru's Secret

Chapter Twenty-Five

By: Luna

They said she had been after Sesshoumaru, but he was so far above her reach that she settled on Miroku. After getting caught nearly naked with the schools number one ladies man, her reputation had been in tatters, and her nickname started. Apparently Miroku had claimed that she had molested him, and after that other guys came forward bragging about similar situations; that even before the Miroku incident she had been giving her favors away too easily. No decent guy wanted to date the beauty after that, and apparently she didn't care if they wanted to anyway. According to the rumors, she started sleeping around with guys who didn't mind being with a self-proclaimed slut.

Of course, there were a few people that said Sango never used to be that way; tough in martial arts, but inside a sweet, impressionable young girl who had no real awareness of her beauty. It was those people that were still shocked at the dramatic turnaround in Sango after that incident; when she started wearing makeup and scandalous outfits, and started alienating her old friends and hanging out with a bad crowd.

Looking at her now, Kagome wondered where that sweet girl was, because all she saw was a hard, beautiful face, leaning a little too heavily on the makeup, her lips painted a bright, sinful red. Her uniform was a size too small, showing off her generous bosom, with the skirt rolled up so it showcased her slightly curved hips, the long, beautiful legs that were lean with muscle.

Kagome cleared her throat as she opened her locker and finished putting her books away. "May I help you?" she asked at last.

"You slept with Miroku." Sango stated.

Was she still holding onto a lingering affection towards the man that, essentially, turned her into what she was today? Was that why she approached Kagome? Frustration welled up in Kagome, making her almost shout as she slammed her locker door shut. "I didn't sleep with anyone!"

Sango stared at her for so long that Kagome felt angry tears well up in her eyes. Was everyone going to think her a slut now, too?

But then Sango surprised her by saying, "I believe you."
