AN: Whoa. I got like, 5 billion reviews on the last chapter
o_o; (well, actually, just 30-something) I guess it wasn't as bad
as I thought, or you're all sucking up to me. lol. I didn't mean to
take so long for this chapter to come out but I've been working on
my new story (first chapter's out! :D
) and I've been completely brain dead on what to write in this one.
I tried too hurry up cause people were threatening me. o_O;;; I hope
it doesn't come out too bad. _
Oh yeah, little mini rant.
I -hate- original characters who get paired up with main characters
in IY. It's like... cheating or something. All you have to do is make
your character have the same personality and viola! You've got yourself
a perfect match. Too easy. WAY too easy. We need -soap operas- here!
Also... Male dogs don't go into heat. I see these fics where that's
the whole point of the story: Sesshoumaru/Inuyasha/Kouga go into heat,
act all crazy, etc. Too bad that -doesn't really happen!- Females
go into heat, and then the male dogs act all crazy about -that.- Don't
you people know anything about the breedi- ... I'll shut up now.
End rant. You may now flame me. ^.^

"She's mine."
The words nearly echoed, the cafeteria had gone so quiet. Kagome
gaped, then pinched herself several times, convinced it was a dream.
Kikyou was in Sesshoumaru's face in less than five seconds. She roughly
shoved Kouga out of her way and looked up incredulously at him.
"What has that girl done to you?" she demanded, ignoring
Kagome's outraged protests. "I've been the one who'd give up
just about everything for you. I've been the one who's given you all
you need over the--"
"Shut up," Sesshoumaru growled, cutting her tirade off,
his eyes glinting an icy golden color. "You've done absolutely
for me besides get on my nerves. Now I'm trying to have a nice little
conversation with Cocky here, so you can get the hell away from me."
Kikyou looked like she'd been slapped. Her pride sure had. No one
in the history of their school had ever dare blown her off, but here
she was humiliated by the same person she'd basically worshipped for
years. Her face turned pink in embarrassment and anger and as she
stomped out of the cafeteria, she sent one last seething glare at
Kagome.
That girl was so dead.
Kikyou put aside, Sesshoumaru turned back to Kouga who had unsuccessfully
tried to get away. With one last icy look, he growled, "And don't
forget what I said. You're lucky I've decided your scrawny ass isn't
worth my time. Let's go."
"Makino! That was really unnecessary. I mean, yes he's annoying
and all but-" Kagome was cut off by a short, but harsh kiss from
Sesshoumaru, who gave her an annoyed look.
"You're starting to annoy me too."
"Good, because I'm starting to hate your uptight, stuck up ass!
I am not your property!" she nearly screeched, her anger rising.
Her long raven hair whipped around her and she turned to glare at
Kouga. "Nor am I yours! I've told you over and over I'm not interested
in you, but you still continued to do so. Well, I'll tell you one
last time, I AM NOT YOUR KAGOME."
Ignoring the many eyes on her, Kagome stalked off, fuming. She ran
into Inuyasha in the hall, who was on his back from the library. One
look at her face told him something had happened, and he cautiously
asked what was wrong. Her complete change around startled him, because
by the time he'd gotten the words spoken, she was in tears.
"Stop crying," he commanded gruffly and gripped her shoulders,
unsure of what to do.
"You can't just tell me to stop crying," she hiccupped,
roughly rubbing the tears from her eyes. She pointed to an empty classroom.
"Let's talk in there."
Inuyasha nodded as they entered the room, partially closing the door
behind them. Taking their at desks across from each other, he looked
at her expectantly. She told him everything from the beginning, when
she'd met Kouga and continued until she'd told him almost everything
until lunch, carefully leaving out the whole apartment thing. When
she was done, Inuyasha was as angry as she had had been.
"I should go over there and set them straight!" he growled,
standing up so fast his chair clattered to the ground. "You don't
deserve to be treated like that."
"Thanks Inuyasha, but it's okay. I don't want you to get involved
in my problems. And I mean that in a good way. Kinda," she stammered,
not wanting him to get any more riled up than he was. He glared at
her, then gave up reluctantly with a dramatic sigh when her face told
him that she meant it. He sat on the desk in front of her, waiting
for Kagome to regain the last of her composure.
When she was just about to stand up, Inuyasha cleared his throat,
his face a faint pink and started, "Listen, Kagome... there's
something I want to tell you--"
The bell cut him off as it rang loudly through the hallways, causing
Inuyasha to curse underneath his breath. Kagome screeched, "I'm
going to be late for class!"
"Kagome, can you just listen--"
"I'll see you later, okay? Bye bye!" And with a wave she
stood up from the desk and ran out of the classroom to retrieve her
books, leaving Inuyasha to curse under his breath as he reluctantly
left the classroom himself, slamming the sliding door behind him.
So, Kagome's plan on being ice queen wasn't really working. She figured
that if she completely ignored Sesshoumaru and Sango for the rest
of the day and by the time the last bell rang, they'd come to her
on their knees begging for forgiveness. It was completely flawless,
right?
Wrong.
In fact, by the end of the day the only people who'd bothered to talk
to hers were the ones who couldn't resist calling her a whore, and
other words along those lines. Sango was ignoring her, and Sesshoumaru
was nowhere to be seen. When the last bell rang, Kagome was literally
dragging her feet out of the classroom door.
There was really nowhere for her to go; Inuyasha had kendo practice
with his brother, Miroku was with Sango, and Kagome didn't want to
go home because a meeting with Sesshoumaru would have been inevitable.
So, as everyone exited the school building in a flurry of happy energy,
Kagome stayed behind for clean up duty, having switched places with
another girl in her homeroom.
She was just putting the broom away when the classroom door opened
behind her. Kagome twirled around, her heart pounding, but then let
out a soft breath of relief when she saw it was only Kikyou. Of course
she was a threat in her own way, and Kagome felt her skin crawl as
she turned to meet Kikyou's blank face... but the emotion in her eyes
was clear enough. She was pissed.
"Hello, Higurashi-san," she greeted, her voice dripping
with sarcasm as she stepped into the classroom, slamming the door.
"I was hoping you wouldn't mind having a little chat with me."
Well, in fact Kagome did mind, a lot, but she was too nice to actually
say that and she shook her head. "I don't mind at all."
That was all the permission Kikyou needed. Her blank mask immediately
dropped and she backed Kagome against the wall before the girl could
even blink.
"You think you're so great, just walking into this school and
thinking you can just take whatever you please. Well, guess what you
little slut, it's not gonna happen, and I'll make sure it doesn't.
I'm warning you this time, stay away from Sesshoumaru, or I'll make
you pay."
"I had no intention of taking anything of yours. If I wanted
it, I would have asked. And, please refrain from calling me a slut.
The only person I know in this room that deserves the title is you."
"You little bitch.." Kikyou sputtered, slapping the other
girl hard across the face. It only infuriated her more when Kagome
barely blinked at the slap and continued to stare her in the eyes.
"You think you're so good and saintly don't you? Aren't happy
you have Sesshoumaru-sama in the palm of your hand? Well, I'll be
taking him back, don't you worry about that."
"Makino-san is not yours to take. I do not own him, and neither
do you. He isn't an object. He'll make his own decisions," Kagome
stated, her eyes somewhat challenging. "So why won't you let
him? Afraid you can't go back to Inuyasha if he doesn't choose? Afraid
you won't be able to gloat once you've 'caught' him?"
That was the last straw for Kikyou, her teeth gritting in anger. What
a fucking little stuck-up brat, I should show her a lesson..
Her hand was halfway to Kagome's cheek when a cold voice ordered from
the doorway, "Don't you dare hit her."
The hand immediately stopped and Kikyou jumped back from Kagome as
if she had been burned. "Oh, Sesshoumaru-sama, I didn't know
you were here.." She laughed nervously.
"Get the hell out of my sight. And stay out of it. If I see you
ever touch Kagome again, you'll be sorry before you can even get your
pathetic fingers off her."
The girl could only gape, then nod dumbly and slink out of the classroom.
Sesshoumaru walked over to Kagome, setting his kendo gear gently on
the floor next to her. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, I think so, but that was kinda harsh on Kikyou," she
started to blush as he fingered the slap mark on her cheek. "How
much did you..? You know, I still haven't forgiven you for- And stop
doing that, you're making me lose my train of thought!"
He completely ignored her protests. "I think this might bruise,
but I have something we can put on it once we get home."
"Are you listening to me? I don't care about the cheek!"
Sesshoumaru sighed in agitation and kissed Kagome hard on the lips,
effectively shutting her up. When she was finally kissing him back,
he moved to her neck, kissing down it and sending shivers up her spine.
"I'm sorry," he murmured against her neck, almost so softly
she couldn't hear.
"Apology accepted." And with that she turned his head back
towards hers and kissed him.
Glossary:
Did I really not use any Japanese words this time? o_o
AN: Hmmm. I kinda liked it. It's just way too short. Oh well.
I know the title had nothing to do with the chapter, lol. More Sess
