Chapter 6

"What?" Kagome whispered. Naraku smiled at her surprise.

"What is wrong dear? After all you belong to me." He said intentionally knowing it would get the girl angry.

"I don't belong to anyone!" Kagome hissed. How dare he say that? She would rather die then belong to the filthy demon. Turning on her heel, she stalked away. She left so fast that she didn't hear Naraku's amused reply.

"At least not yet." He said in a soft voice so the words did not stray past the ears of the other three boys. It had been a risk to come to this school. He wasn't sure if she had would wait in the shadows and attack without studying Sesshomaru, but it turned out he was right. Kagome Higurashi wasn't one to rush things…neither was he. He had come for her. Sighing, Naraku made a decision. She had to be taught manners. No prey or pet of his would ever turn her back on him…ever. He started forward to follow her, when a rough hand pulled him back.

"Don't you dare think of hurting Kagome!" Inuyasha hissed as Naraku turned to face him. This demon would not hurt Kagome. Inuyasha would die before he let him hurt her. This man who knew about Kikyo's death, may have caused it, would not be allowed to kill Kagome. He had seen enough death.

Sesshomaru growled surprising both of them. They looked up to see his eyes begin to bleed red. Stalking forward he grabbed Naraku by the collar. "Harm her and I will kill you." Naraku would not hurt what was his! No one, absolutely no one other than him was allowed to touch her. Only him.

"Calm down, Tiayoukia." Naraku said in a smug voice. "Lets make a deal. The stronger will win…just don't see red when you lose." He pulled himself out of Sesshomaru's grip and walked away. This complicated things. Who would have thought that the fiery Kagome Higurashi, the feared miko, would get the cold Sesshomaru Tiayoukia to fall in love with her? But then again, no one would stop him from getting his goal. The younger brother could easily be killed but the older one…he would be tough competition.

Miroku stared at the two Tiayoukia brothers and watched as this whole thing went on. What is going to happen? He himself hand never seen Sesshomaru even glare much less growl and deliver threats. Before today he had thought only mad dogs after a kill could growl in that possessive way…the way that makes all the hair on your neck stand on end. But some thing made both brothers go for the pale boy's throat. Shaking his head at the confusing events, Miroku turned to find Kagome.

"Kagome!" Turning, Kagome faced the running Miroku. He slid to a halt in front of her and gasped for breath.

"What?" The silent girl asked. Miroku looked up to see her face completely voided of emotion.

"Why did you leave?" Sighing, Kagome turned and began to walk again, though slow enough for Miroku to follow. Why had she left? Naraku could have been taken care of. So why leave? Was she afraid? After all the work and time she put into trying to find Sango's killers, she would just run when she seen Naraku? From all the stories she had heard of what happened to people captured by Naraku, anyone would hesitate to met him, but run? No! Kagome shook her head. She was not afraid. She would complete her vow no matter what. Why would she want to live any way? There was nothing light and good left in this world for he—

"Kagome? Are you going to answer?" Miroku asked as a glazed look fell over her face. "If you are worried about that jerk with Inuyasha and his brother, you don't have to worry…It is odd…Once you left Inuyasha and Sesshomaru seemed to go at the guy's throat…about that? What did he say?"

"Sesshomaru? Defend me?" Kagome asked ignoring Miroku's question. That cold-hearted demon would do no such thing! Ha. He wouldn't have even noticed her if she hadn't ran into him that day. "Don't you mean Inuyasha?"

Miroku shook his head. "No. I meant Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru was still fuming when the lunch bell rang. Stalking out the door he made his way to the lunchroom. There was no way he would lose. That human vixen would NOT belong to Naraku! Stopping in front of the window he changed his mind. Why go into a crowd of humans when he was ready to lose control of his emotions…and his rage? Growling lightly, he walked out the door and into some one.

"Watch it, wren— He broke off. It was she. Sitting up she glared at him with those blue eyes.

"What is wrong with you? Do you have a problem with me walking? Am I not allowed to walk in your presence?" She asked in a sarcastic voice as she got off the ground. She was angry. She was about to walk away when a hand on her arm stopped her.

"Wait." Sesshomaru said in a soft voice, finally recovering from shock. For some reason instead of beginning furious at the insults he felt strangely calm. Very different from his other attitude in fact. "Who are you?"

"The clumsy girl. Now bye." Kagome said in a spiteful voice and tried to get him to release his grip. "Let go!"

"Not until you tell me your whole name." Sesshomaru said in a persistent voice. He only knew her first name…Kagome. The last name was an annoying question in his head. The girl froze and turned to face him. She stared up at him with puzzled eyes.

"Why would you want to know my name?" Kagome said in a suspicious voice. What if he guessed…that she was the miko? Did he want to kill her? Questions bombarded her mind as she stared up at him. He, though, seemed eerily calm…patient in fact. No demon would act this way…ever! They prided themselves on their violence and ability to give pain. Why would they suddenly act like a human? Could this one…be good?

"Tiayoukia!" Naraku yelled from behind him. Not yet seeing Kagome the other demon began to walk toward them. Growling slightly, Sesshomaru looked back at the girl. Her eyes had suddenly taken a terrified look and she started yanking her arm, trying to get free. Did this girl know Naraku enough to be afraid? How could this human, his human know about him?

"Please! Let me go!" Kagome asked in a pleading voice. The last thing she wanted to do now was see Naraku. Ignoring the pain, she tried to get her arm free. She had to get away. So scared was she that she answered Sesshomaru's question without thought.

"What is your name?"

"Kagome Higurashi!" His grip went slack and she fell on the ground. Sesshomaru watched as the girl…no Kagome Higurashi got off the ground. Totally ignoring him, she fled. So her name was Kagome Higurashi…Kagome. Hearing Naraku's approach, he growled. She was his and Naraku would NOT have her!

"Tiayoukia." Naraku said walking up. "You better stay away from Kagome…you don't know anything about her." Besides she's mine. Naraku thought smugly as the younger demon jerked his head up. That certainly caught his interest. Now…

"What don't I know?"

"Well…

AN: MWAHAHAHAHA! …I got to stop ending my chapters with that…really. Now…will Naraku tell Sesshomaru the Truth? Is this the beginning of the end of the story? Or will there be another strange twist? Why the heck is Aisu Tora in this story? Will Miroku find love? Why am I asking YOU these questions? Now, Come read again…It will be worth your time…I have to write a terribly happy and stupid story so I am prepared to get in a so sad and serious mood…Not that I am not ending it with a happy ending! The ending sadly will be happy…with a  little sad! *evil smile* Who will I torment? All well…school is ending so I will be harder for me to update! SORRY! But I will try…
