Halloween



~Kagome's POV~

"It's Halloween!" exclaimed Sango loudly in my ear. I rubbed my ears and glared at her.

"I know, and I can hear you perfectly fine, without your screaming." I yelled back. "Hey!

Kurama!" Kurama quickly raced to catch up with us, Harry and Ron not far behind.

"Kurama, what are you doing?" asked Ron in a whisper. "She's a Slytherin, she's evil!"

"Harry, Ron, Kagome is my best friend, and I like to be around her. If you guys don't, just

go on into the Great Hall." replied Kurama, with an irritated look. Harry and Ron shook their

head, and tried their best to smile at me. We walked into the Hall, earning many glances, at our

weird group.

"Hey, Sess-chan!" I called. Now everyone's eyes were on me. I took a seat beside

Sesshoumaru, as he continued to glare at me.

~Kurama's POV~

Sess-chan? When did they become so close? Oh, no, it's that feeling again. Could this

strange feeling be, jealousy? Harry and Ron had already taken a seat at the Gryffindor table, but I

continued to walk toward the Slytherin table. Harry and Ron gave me curious looks, and tried to

call me back.

"Kurama! You passed our table!" exclaimed Harry.

"Yeah, hurry and take a seat." added Ron. I ignored them, and took a seat next to

Kagome. Sango sat across from Kagome, scribbling in her notebook.

"Minamino, do you need glasses?" asked Malfoy with a smirk. "This is the Slytherin

table."

"Shut-up, Malfoy." stated Kagome as Sango pushed Malfoy away. "Kurama and Sango

are my friends, so of course they're sitting with me." Malfoy glared at me, and stomped away. He

probably likes Kagome too.

"Kagome, promise me you will never fall in love with that dork." said Sango sternly.

"Nani? Of course I won't!" replied Kagome with an angry tone. I could hear Malfoy

growling. "Oh, yeah, were's Hermione? I was really mean to her in charm's class, and I want to

apologize."

"She is the girl's bathroom crying." stated Sango. I talked to Sango as Kagome left for the

bathroom, intent on brining Hermione back.

***

~Kagome's POV~

"Hermione?" I called in the girl's bathroom.

"Go away." she commanded, followed by more sobs.

"I'm sorry about charm's class. I don't know what came over me. Do you want to start

over?" Hermione finally turned to look at me. I walked up to her and handed her a tissue.

Hermione wiped away her tears, and after more apologies, we talked about other things.



***

~Sesshoumaru's POV~

Kagome has been gone for a long time, I wonder what's happening. Bang. The doors

slammed open, and Professor Quirrell sprinted in. "Troll-in the dungeons-thought you ought to

know." Then he fainted.

Everyone was screaming and running around crazily. "Prefects!" called Dumbledore. As

everyone was following the prefects, I heard Shuichi whisper.

"Oh, no. Kagome's in the bathroom with Hermione, and they don't know about the troll."

Without thinking, I raced to the bathroom along with Shuichi. Followed by Harry and Ron, who

must have remembered Hermione.

***

~Kurama's POV~

Kagome please be okay. I noticed Harry, Ron, and Sesshoumaru had followed me.

Sesshoumaru was probably here for Kagome, while Harry and Ron for Hermione. When we

reached the bathroom, we were all shocked.

"On the count of three." called Kagome. I figured Kagome was going to use the levitating

charm on the troll.

"One, two, three." called Kagome. I took out my wand as Sesshoumaru grabbed his. We

all shouted. "Wingardium Leviosa." Harry and Ron looked on with awed faces, as we sent the

troll drifting in mid air.

We raced to the two girls to check on them. "Kagome, are you okay?" I asked with

Sesshoumaru at the same time. Kagome smiled, and nodded.

"Though I need more practice on that spell." stated Kagome.

"Me too." added Hermione with a smile. "We'll practice it together."

"Count me in." I added.

"Hey! You four can help us too!" called Harry and Ron, who have finally accepted

Kagome and Sesshoumaru.

"Count me out." stated Sesshoumaru as he remained emotionless.

"He might act cold, but he isn't." stated Kagome. "He's a really good friend once you get

to know him."

"What on earth?" exclaimed all the teachers. Then they spotted the floating troll and

shook their head.

"We tried to take on the troll ourselves." lied Kagome and Hermione.

"They did a pretty good job too." added Sesshoumaru with a smirk.

"It was my fault." I stated. "I should've stopped them."

"Well, since your all okay, ten points to Gryffindor and Slytherin. Now return to your

dormitories." stated Professor McGonagall.

***

~Kagome's POV~

The next morning, everyone knew about the incident. The Slytherin table were getting

crowded. In addition to Sango, Kurama had joined my table also. Followed by my new friends

Hermione, Harry, and Ron. The Slytherins glared at the Gryffindors, while the Gryffindors

looked at us with a confused look.

Before breakfast was over, I left, with Kurama following. Hermione was about to follow

when Sango stopped her. "They need time alone." whispered Sango.

***

~Sango's POV~

I explained everything, as Harry, Ron, and Hermione gathered closer. "Kagome and

Kurama are more than just friends. How do I know, Kagome had been crying secretly during the

time Kurama had believed in the gossips. While Kurama had been showing his true feelings of

sorrow in the garden, where he believed no one would hear."

"I am Kagome's official body guard, advisor, friend, and matchmaker. So, I have been

closely observing Kagome's relationship with Kurama. Those two brighten immediately in each

others presence, and fit together perfectly. Unless Kurama does something unforgivable, those

two should become a couple."

Everyone nodded in understanding. "So what happens if Kurama does do something

unforgivable?" asked Harry curiously.

"Then I find Kagome a new match." I stated.

"And that would be..." asked Ron.

"The next one on the list I made would be Sesshoumaru." I replied. Sesshoumaru choked

on his drink and glared at me. "I have been observing Kagome's reaction to Sesshoumaru, and

they seem to fit together okay. But if that doesn't work, there is still the whole boy population to

chose from."

Everyone sweat dropped, but nodded in understanding. "Now that you think about it, they

are cute together." stated Hermione. "I'm happy for my new friend. Though I do envy her."

Everyone laughed at that, and continued with their meal. Sesshoumaru was still glaring a hole

through my head.

~Author's POV~

"Don't you know how worried I was, yesterday?" asked Kurama.

"No." teased Kagome as she smiled.

"I thought I was going to lose you permanently." replied Kurama. Kagome dropped the

smile, when she noticed Kurama's sad look. Kagome hugged Kurama and sighed.

"I would never leave you." stated Kagome as she pulled away. "Let's go check on the

flowers." suggested Kagome. Kurama nodded, and they walked off hand in hand toward the

garden.

Please read and review!

Here are the review responses:

crimsonseer: Hope your not hyper anymore. Please update your fic soon! I really want to read it!

Please?

Kagome+Kurama4ever: I'll try to update as soon as I can, but you too. I want to read yours a lot!

Daaku: Sorry, but Kurama won. If you really want Sess/Kag fics, you can always go check my

cousins. She only writes Sess/Kag.

Celtic*Lady*Knight: Your vote has been counted, and no, Hermione isn't going to die. I might

make Sesshoumaru jealous, but I'm not sure yet.

Syke: Yeah! You won't go on a rampage! She's not an idiot, but just not as smart as

Sesshoumaru, Kurama, and Kagome. Like the fourth best. I just don't like the idea of her being

the smartest! ^_^

Sesshoumaru77: I will finish the story, if you keep on reviewing! ^_^!

Seeker of Death: So your voting for Kag/Kur? Okay, it doesn't really matter that much to me.

Both pairing are good.

^_~: That's a problem. The richer one is Sesshoumaru, though Kurama isn't far behind. Their

both powerful, and Kurama loves her, while Sesshoumaru finds her as his only friend. Though he

might have feelings for her, though they are hidden.

Anime Fan: Wow, that's a big compliment. I don't think it's that good, I have way to many

errors.

Divine-Heart: I updated the next day. Though the chapters are shorter, but that doesn't matter.

Ambarina: I'm glad your still reading this. Thanks for reviewing! ^_^

cartoonyartist: I'll think about letting her change. I will torture Crabbe and Goyal, but I don't hate

Hermione. I just needed her to be like that at first, then she can change, sort of. ^_~

Sessywuver: Sorry, but Kagome and Kurama won. The votes ended, though I did add yours.

Dragon Rae: I hope things were better for Hermione now. Glad you like my story.
