A RAINY SEPTEMBER
CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN-TOGETHER AT LAST
SUMMARY-
Her whole life, Kagome has been made fun of by everyone. Her first friend was a boy named InuYasha, but now that they're 15 they don't talk. No one, not even InuYasha, knows of Kagome's secret life. She sings her heart out every now and then and she also works at her uncle's club, with five of her friends(Two guys and Three girls), so she can help earn money to get her grandfather out of the hospital.
STORY-
KAGOME'S POV
It's been a few months since I was put into the hospital.
Me and Sesshomaru have became a little more than friends and said "I love you" to each other...But we're still not dating!
Kaname and Aiyana are still together, and I don't think they plan to break up any time soon.
Same with InuYasha and Kikyo.
They actually seem happy and right together.
Since everyone saw me working at my uncle's club, I got a lot more friends.
Not like I need them though.
I'm happy just having Kaname, Aiyana, Storm, Sam, Mikado, Kikado, Alex...And of course...Sesshomaru.
Anyway...I was walking down the hallway of my high school for the last time.
Tonight I would be graduating!
I was excited, but sad as well.
I mean...I didn't get excepted to Kyoto University...like I had wanted...
But it's fine...
I mean, I still have mama...
And Sesshomaru...
And even Souta!
"Kagome!"
I was pulled out of my thoughts and turned around to see Hojo.
"Hey Hojo, watsup?"
"I was um...Wondering...if you wanted to go to the school dance after graduation with me."
I put a fake smile on my face and nodded my head.
As much as I wanted to go with Sesshomaru...
I couldn't...
He wasn't allowed to go because he wasn't a student here...
"Sure Hojo. I'll see you then."
He smiled warmly at me and walked away proudly.
When he was out of sight, I sighed and continued to walk down the empty hallway.
"Once upon a broken heart...I was walking alone in the dark...Looking for a way to start again...What I wouldn't give for a friend."
I don't know why exactly, but I felt like singing would help take the pain away.
So that's exactly what I did.
I started to sing lightly.
Unknown to me at that moment though...That someone was watching me.
"There was no love in my life. There was no light in my eyes. All the tears that I had cried and cried...Seemed like they'd never end..."
I walked into the drama room and saw all the props from this years play still out.
The play was Sleeping Beauty.
I started to walk around the room and pick different stuff and continued to sing the whole time.
"And I never believed fairytales came true, But now I know that they really do. Now that I found you...Now that I'm here with you..."
I put Aurora's dress down and walked out of the room and back into the hallway.
I still didn't notice that I was being watched.
All I could think about, was Sesshomaru and what would happen after I graduated.
"Just look at the sunshine! And you...Showed me a world that I'd never seen, I woke up and fell into this dream. Happily ever after just took time...Once upon this broken heart of mine..."
I thought I heard something, so I turned around.
But I saw nothing.
I shrugged it off...Must have just been my imagination.
I continued to walk and stopped in front of the art room.
I opened the door and walked in, to find it empy like the drama room was earlier.
Well, that's to be expected...
Everyone's probably getting ready by now...
My eyes widened and I gasped as I looked at the clock on the wall.
It was already 5:00!
Graduation was only in two and a half hours!
I ran out of the art room and started towards the front doors of the building.
When I threw them open, I saw everyone waiting for me.
Kaname...Aiyana...Sango...Miroku...Mama...Souta...Sesshomaru...I even saw InuYasha and Kikyo!
I smiled at them and ran to stand next to Sesshomaru.
He grabbed my hand and smirked at me, and so did the others.
We all laughed with each other and started toward my house, so we could all get ready.
TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATER
I was sitting nervously for the principle and my teacher to say my name.
I looked over at Kikyo and she actually smiled at me!
I looked into the crowd at Sesshomaru and so did he!
I started to calm down and took a few deep breathes.
And the I heard it...
"Kagome Higurashi."
I stood up and walked up to the principle.
He smiled warmly at me and shook my hands while he gave me my deploma.
"It was an honor to have you in this school, Miss Higurashi. May you go far in life and let your dreams be filled with endless possiblities."
I smiled back at him and when I looked to the side, I saw mama, Souta and Kaname all taking pictures.
My smile widened and I walked over to my teacher and shook her hand as well.
When I walked around and back to my seat, Kikyo was next.
"Kikyo Higurashi."
The same thing happened with her.
When she sat back down, we smiled at each other and squeeled happily.
It was finally over!
We were officially adults!
AFTER GRADUATION
I was standing outside the school with tears in my eyes.
I felt a hand rest on my shoulder and looked up with hopeful eyes, but it soon disappeared.
"Oh, hi Hojo...Why are you here? Shouldn't you be inside, enjoying the party?"
He sat down beside me and placed his hand on my cheek.
"Um, Hojo? Are you feeling okay?"
I saw him moving closer, and started to move away...
But he grabbed my face roughly and forcefully kissed me!
I pushed him away sharply and slapped him across the face.
"Don't you DARE kiss me!"
He stood up and glared at me.
"Why? I'm your boyfriend! That's what I meant when I asked you to come here with me-"
"Then you should have said it that way, Hojo! I already have a boyfriend that I'm VERY much in love with!"
I yelled back, just as loudly.
"WHO?"
"Me."
I turned around quickly and had a shocked look on my face.
I saw Sesshomaru standing there with a smirk on his face.
"Se...Sesshomaru..."
Hojo gulped when he saw Sesshomaru and ran inside while yelling at him.
"I didn't know! I'm sorry!"
Sesshomaru started to walk towards me, but I couldn't move.
It was like I was frozen in spot.
"Se...Sesshomaru...How much of that did you see?"
He looked into my eyes and placed his thumb on my lips gently.
"All of it...Why did you let him kiss you?"
I gasped and before I could even respond...He kissed me...Just like he did when I was in the hospital.
My eyes widened and he pulled away slowly.
"There...That should make it better...Make sure no other male has a chance to kiss you again...You belong to this Sesshomaru."
Usually I would be pretty pissed if a man talked about me like I was nothing more than an object.
And to be honest, Sesshmaru saying it was no different.
But coming from him...I think I could let it slide every once in a while.
I hugged him with my arms around his waist.
He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and I looked up at him with loving eyes.
"Sesshomaru? I love you..."
He smirked and kissed my again.
"Good...Because I love you as well, human..."
I growled and he chuckled deeply.
"Fine...Kagome...Koi."
I blushed and placed my hands on either side of his head, before pulling him back down to me for another kiss.
We were finally together...At last...
