AN: Sorry for the cliffhanger guys. I couldn't help myself. (Well
actually, I was just lazy and wanted to end there x_x ) But I've noticed
there are a ton more Fluffy/Kagome stories coming out! I haven't even
had time to read all of them xO Better get to work then, ne?
Oh yeah, sorry guys, but I'm gonna take a break from this fic for a
couple weeks because, I'm really not writing for the fun of it anymore,
I'm writing to please people. So, I'm going to work on a few original
stories of mine, and then I'll be back, so don't worry ^-^

Kagome was so surprised he froze, not a single muscle moving until the realization hit her three seconds later when she felt his arm slinking around her waist. She yanked herself out of his light grip, he face and neck a bright red. The jerk fully woke Sesshoumaru up and he blinked at her for a second before drawling quietly, "What are you doing in my room at," he looked over at the clock, "4 AM?"
Kagome struggled to control the blush on her face, although he couldn't see it, as she answered, "Aaa..betsuni...I couldn't sleep."
"So why come in here and wake me up? Can't you be an insomniac in your own room?"
Kagome gave him a death glare that would chill anyone's bones except maybe...him, and replied defensively, "Well, I'm sorry about that then. Go back to sleep, I'm leaving."
He thought about letting her go, but now was as good a time as any to apologize, so her stopped her before she could get to the door. She turned and looked back, a look of slight surprise written on her face. He coughed for a second, for a rare time in his life unsure of himself, then continued, "Aa, Higurashi, I'm sorry about last week. Shouldn't have gotten mad, and all that other shit." Although his words were abrupt, and his face was expressionless, his golden eyes showed a just a tiny bit of a hope for forgiveness.
Kagome startled him when she let out a laugh. "That's the first time you've said my name since I've known you. It's always 'you,' 'hey,' or 'girl,'" she smiled. "It's okay, Makino-san. No hard feelings at all."
Sesshoumaru returned her smiled with a small one of his own and his roommate squealed,"You actually smiled!"
"Oh shut up and go back to your room. I have to sleep," he grumbled, annoyed at her comment. He turned his back to her and pulled the covers back up to his chin. Kagome just ignored his rudeness and replied, "See ya in three hours."
And she went back to her room and had a short but certainly welcome three hours of sleep.
Meanwhile in Sesshoumaru's room he lay awake pondering. He wasn't stupid and knew Kagome had to be in there for some reason. And he didn't know why she had been so embarrassed when he woke up and saw. Stopping short he remembered what exactly had been happening at the end of his dream. He had been kissing Rin and he had started to...
Sesshoumaru sat straight up in bed, shocked into silence. He had kissed Kagome. And if she told Sango, he was dead. He'd seen Sango protective over friends and it wasn't pretty. If there was one thing anyone should be scared of, it was Sango. He sure was.
I wonder how much tickets to San Francisco cost, he wondered to himself, stricken with insomnia for the rest of that night.
That morning, Inuyasha met Kikyou in the courtyard of Kojima High before school started. He took a deep sigh and stood up when Kikyou finally showed up. He started, "I'm really sorry, Kikyou, but I don't think this is working out. We should--"
"--probably break up, right?" she finished for him sarcastically. "I hate you Inuyasha! How could you do this to me? It's all that Higurashi's fault! What do you see in her?"
"I see a lot in her. A lot more than you can ever be. You're just afraid to see the good in others because you know you're inferior to them. Face it, you're just a bitch. I'm sick of you using me as your little toy," he smiled sadly and turned his back to her, stating before he left her, "Maybe you can find someone as twisted as you one day."
Kikyou screamed and cussed at his back as he left, but her threats were empty, for she knew he was right, and she hated it.
It had always been all about her before that girl came. Kikyou had been the perfect girl who was mysterious and just a little bit scary; the girl who always had a boyfriend, many admirers, who founded and lead the Sesshoumaru fan club, and on top of all that still managed to maintain straight A's.
All she wanted was attention; if she couldn't be loved, then would be feared. Growing up in a family where her parents knew their co-workers' children than their own, all she longed for was a little praise, which soon became an obsession.
But now this girl had to come and ruin everything for her. Just because she was nice meant nothing to Kikyou. As far as she was concerned, the girl had just come in with her looks (minus the nicely permed hair, tattooed on makeup, and acrylic nails) and she was immediately popular; Inuyasha was falling for her, and worst of all she was changing Sesshoumaru, in whatever secret and strange way she did it. That couldn't be forgiven.
Higurashi Kagome needed to be disposed of.

"Ne, why aren't you sitting with Kikyou today?" Kagome asked, surprised when she saw Inuyasha slide into a seat at their gang's lunch table.
"We broke up. I'm officially shunned by her and the rest of her little fan club inner circle," he answered, raising an eyebrow at the silent look Miroku and Sango exchanged.
"Aa, that's too bad for you guys!"
"Not for him," Shippou mumbled with a snigger from his neglected place in the fanfic. Inuyasha whacked him and growled. Kagome, who hadn't heard his comment, scolded him and an argument broke out. Shippou pretended he hadn't caused and slipped away to avoid embarrassment. Sango and Miroku stayed a bit longer, but when peoples' heads started turning, they quickly scattered. When they were a safe distance away, Kagome stopped arguing, completely bewildering Inuyasha.
"I was just using it as a tool to get them to scatter," Kagome explained her crafty plan to her confused friend. "I really need to ask you a question. Do you know who Rin is?"
Inuyasha startled for a moment, surprised that she even knew the name. "How do you know about Rin?"
"That's not really important," Kagome stammered, a blush rising up her face.
"Well, whatever your reasons, you don't want to know anymore about her than you need to. Trust me on this one."

betsuni = nothing really
ne = kind of like "eh?" or "hey"
AN: Sorry it's a kind of cliffhanger. _ I have yet to
fully figure out what Rin is in Sesshy's past. And I'm also sorry it's
so short. Argh. I'm so mad at myself. But oh well, see ya guys later!
See you next time! ^-^ ~Kei
