IMPORTANT! AUTHOR'S NOTE: Dragongirl's grandma's ceremony will be tomorrow on

Memorial Day. She wants me to post a new story in honor of it. Should I post the summer fic,

which was suppose to be posted on June 5th, or write an army fic? Please vote fast! It must be

posted before the clock strikes midnight on Monday!

Disclaimer: I never owned the Inuyasha cast, and will remain that way. Don't own plot either, got

it from a movie called Winter Sonata.

Befriending Sesshoumaru

"Kagome! Wait up!" called Inuyasha as he raced to catch up with Kagome.

"Good morning Inuyasha." responded Kagome politely. "Have you seen Sesshoumaru?

He is never late to class."

"Who cares?" asked Inuyasha while his heart felt like it was zapped with jealousy.

"Well I do." stated Kagome firmly. "I am his friend, and I care about him. So do you

know where he is?" Kagome asked again.

"Why are you looking for me?" asked Sesshoumaru, who seemed to pop out of nowhere.

Sesshoumaru slowly made his way toward Kagome and asked another question, "Do you really

think of me as a friend?"

"Kagome, lets go!" yelled Inuyasha as he pushed Kagome toward class. Kagome

struggled and broke free from Inuyasha grasp.

"Inuyasha, you go on ahead, I'll catch up later." retorted Kagome as Inuyasha huffed and

walked away fuming with anger.

"So are you going to answer my questions?" asked Sesshoumaru again with a half grin.

"Of course. Well to answer your first question, I was worried that you were sick because

you are always early to school. The second, yes, I think of you as my friend." replied Kagome

while pulling Sesshoumaru toward first period.

^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^

"Hey Kagome, over here!" yelled Molly with a mouth full of food. "We saved you a

spot!"

"Yeah come join us Kagome!" called Amy, Sango, and Allie. "Inuyasha wants to talk to

you too." added Sango as an afterthought pointing at the angry Inuyasha stuffing food into his

mouth.

"Sorry guys!" replied Kagome with a smile. "I promised Sesshoumaru I would sit with

him at lunch." called Kagome as she walked toward where Sesshoumaru was seated.

"Why you!" fumed Inuyasha.

"Calm down, no wonder Kagome doesn't like you." stated Miroku as he tried his best to

calm Inuyasha down.

"Who said I want Kagome to like me?" yelled Inuyasha as he slapped Miroku's hand off

his shoulder. "I lost my appetite."

"Really?" asked Miroku when Inuyasha was out of hearing range. "Seems to me he

finished all his food." This statement earned giggles from Molly, Allie, Amy, and Sango.

^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^

Kagome smiled when she saw the sight, girls were fighting to sit next to Sesshoumaru.

"Sesshoumaru!" called Kagome, deciding to save him from the girls. "Why don't we sit under

that cherry tree? I love it there."

"Fine with me." called back Sesshoumaru walking toward Kagome giving her a genuine

smile. "Thanks." whispered Sesshoumaru as they walked toward the cheery tree. While they were

walking, they can hear the girls stuttering.

"Argh!" yelled Kagura. "Kagome, I won't forgive you for this!" Both Kagome and

Sesshoumaru heard this, but chose to ignore it.

^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^

"Okay, spit it out!" commanded Allie, while Sango and Amy cornered Kagome.

"Spit out what?" asked Kagome innocently.

"What are you doing with Sesshoumaru? Why are you the only girl he'll smile and talk

too? Are you guys having a relationship?" asked Sango.

"The last question, no, we are not having a relationship. The first two questions, is for me

to know, and you to find out." replied Kagome with a grin.

"Why you.." started Allie, but was cut off when Sesshoumaru called.

"Kagome!" called Sesshoumaru as all eyes turned to him. Kagura glared at Kagome, if

looks could kill, Kagome would have been dead long ago.

Kagome pushed Sango and Amy out of her way and walked toward Sesshoumaru. "Yes,

what is it?"

"Well, you know the project for science, would you be my partner?" asked Sesshoumaru

hopping she will say yes. "I don't want anyone else as my partner." stated Sesshoumaru bluntly.

"Sure, I don't see why n..." replied Kagome, who was cut off.

"Hey Kagome!" yelled Inuyasha as he ran towards Kagome. "For the science project, will

you be my partner?"

"Sorry Inuyasha." replied Kagome with a shake of her head. "I already promised I'll be

Sesshoumaru's partner."

Inuyasha looked at Sesshoumaru, as if just noticing him. Inuyasha quickly stomped away,

clenching his hands into tight fists.

^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^

"Kagome!" called Sesshoumaru, "Your late!"

"I know, but what are you doing out here?" asked Kagome while taking deep breaths, for

she had been running the whole way.

"I was waiting for you." stated Sesshoumaru as he grabbed Kagome's hand and led her to

a place where the school walls were lower.

"Why are we here?" asked Kagome confused.

"Making sure your not late." was all Sesshoumaru said as Sesshoumaru hoisted Kagome

up to the wall. "Grab on to the ledge and pull yourself up."

Kagome did what he said. Sesshoumaru jumped, and easily flipped himself onto the other

side. Sesshoumaru extended his hand to help Kagome down. Kagome took Sesshoumaru's hand

and blushed deep red. "Thank you." said Kagome.

"That's nothing." replied Sesshoumaru as Kagome jumped down and stumbled into

Sesshoumaru's chest.

"Sorry." apologized Kagome as she blushed even harder. Sesshoumaru smiled and helped

Kagome back onto her feet.

"Come on." called Sesshoumaru, "or well really be late."

"Yeah." agreed Kagome as both Kagome and Sesshoumaru ran toward class.

^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^&*^

"Okay, does anyone know where Kagome and Sesshoumaru are?" asked the teacher.

"I think Sess..." started a student when he was cut off.

The classroom door opened, and there stood Kagome and Sesshoumaru hand in hand out

of breath. The class rubbed their eyes to see if they were dreaming. Sesshoumaru was smiling

and holding Kagome's hand, while Kagome was blushing a deep red. Inuyasha growled and

turned away from the sight.

"Where were you?" asked the teacher.

"We were helping another teacher." lied Sesshoumaru.

"Okay, since I don't hear the gate monitor calling me saying you guys were late." stated

the teacher as she turned back to her class. Soon, she resumed her teaching. Sesshoumaru and

Kagome grinned at each other and let go of their hands when they remembered it.

"See you at lunch." whispered Sesshoumaru.

"Sure." whispered back Kagome.
