A/N: Thanks to everybody who reviewed. Right now, I'm watching the funniest betting show. It's called Banzai, and it finally came to America. I only watch it to hear the people talk.

Chapter Four

A new day, and a totally awkward situation. Kagome was in a dilemma, and the one who caused it was walking right beside her! She sighed for what seemed to be the hundredth time. Her and Sesshoumaru opted to walk instead of drive to school.

This was the longest twenty minutes of their lives.

It was like they walked in silence for eternity. Now he really wished he hadn't told her to shut and 'take things as they come.'

'Idiot, I knew we weren't ready.'

He heard her sigh for what seemed to be the thousandth time. All of a sudden, he remembered that Doritos commercial:

"Are you just bold? Or are you bold and daring?"

That must have been one of the dumbest commercials he ever saw, but it helped with their predicament.

"So, you're my girlfriend now?" Even though he wanted it to be a statement, it sounded more like a question.

Kagome pondered it for a while, 'His girlfriend, huh?'

Instead of giving him a verbal response, she chose something different. She stopped Sesshoumaru in his tracks and stood on his shoes to pull him down for a passionate kiss. "Sess-chan no baka."

He grasped her buttocks and pulled her up by them, making her give that high-pitched eep sound. Sesshoumaru, who wasn't a baka, no matter how many times he called himself it, took the chance to deepen the kiss. She gave a low moan that came form the back of her throat, and wrapped her legs around him. All the while, he still managed to walk them to school.

"Ugh, Sessh. o. school" Kagome was having trouble thinking. His kisses made her feel all fuzzy and dry inside.

In all the movements, the hem of her skirt went all the way up to her waist. He could feel the heat of her skin through the flimsy fabric and his uniform sweater.

'Damn these clothes.'

He agreed with her, there was a time and place for everything; and this wasn't the place. So reluctantly he set her down and watched while she straightened herself up.

"I take that as a yes."

"Hmm," Kagome nodded and took his hand in hers.

While they were kissing on the sidewalk, they hadn't seen a pair of eyes watching.

Everyone at Yama Aki Private High School knew about Kagome's and Sesshoumaru's 'relationship' with each other. So, they weren't surprised to see the couple holding hands.

Yama Aki is one of the best private schools in Kyoto. Mostly, because of the friendly atmosphere. While in other schools, there was the maiming of students of 'lower' status. There were still the types: rich kids, geeks, jocks, nerds, popular people, scabs, etc. But in this school, students clashed as one and were almost treated equally. The keyword is almost. There was no real reason to be obnoxious to anyone. Almost everyone lived in the same general area. It's just that some live in the richer parts.

(A/N: Don't you wish there were a school like that, especially you freshman people? Anyway, enough with explaining, on with the story)

So, no one was surprised to see that Sesshoumaru and Kagome hooked up. It was inevitable. The pair was practically inseparable ever since the day they met. Some people like to think of them as soul mates, or the reincarnation of some God and Goddess. But whatever people thought, they were the perfect couple in everyone's eyes.

With the exception of a few.

But anyway, what everyone was surprised about what the intensity of their relationship. It was almost as if they had all of those feelings bottled up for years, and they finally found a way to escape.

All day long, the said couple couldn't take their eyes off of each other. Sesshoumaru's had little respect for Kagome, but they had to give her her props.

Kagome was currently sitting in Sesshoumaru's lap, being fed McDonald's fries like a baby.

'I don't mind the lap part, but being fed. Sheesh I'm hungry!'

She whirled around and grabbed Sesshoumaru's wrist then snatched the fry out of his hand with her teeth. She started to make a grab for the bag, but someone grabbed her uniform collar.

"Hey!" Sesshoumaru was just about to get up, but something pulled him back down.

"I knew something was going on between you two, now spill it!"

It was Inuyasha.

He looked like a dog ready to retrieve a bone. (Pun intended, ha.) Sesshoumaru smirked but then covered it with a bored expression. "What do you want?"

Inuyasha scoffed then answered, "Why do you always answer a question with a question? That's not healthy you know."

"You just did it too, smart ass."

"Did not"

"Did too"

"Not"

"Too"

"Did you guys do it yet?"

Sesshoumaru almost facefaulted, "My personal affairs is none of your goddamn business."

Inuyasha smirked, knowing he already got the answer he wanted. "Well, you better not hurt her, or I'll kick your ass myself," he was about to finish when he heard someone call his name. "Damn, it's Kikyo. Gotta go."

Sesshoumaru smiled. Almost eight years ago, with Kagome's help, he came to terms with Inuyasha being his half brother. Once he and Kagome enter high school, he sometimes thought of being Inuyasha's friend and advisor.

'Just to think, if it weren't for Kagome, everybody in that house might have been dead.'

He frowned at the thought. Yes, he used to have murderous thoughts, but the only serious ones were aimed at himself. If it weren't for Kagome, he would probably have been a rotting skeleton six feet underground somewhere.

'I would never hurt her. I love that girl. You can bet my life on that.'

Sesshoumaru relaxed against the sakura near Building A and started to eat his share of fries, while bathing in the warmth that seeped through the leaves.

Meanwhile..

Kagome was being bombarded by almost the whole girl population of the school.

"Omigosh, Kagome--"

"What'd you guys do?"

"Yeah, you're all touchy-feely!"

"Did you do it?"

::A big silence::

"Wait a minute. WAIT A MINUTE! First of all Sango, I'm sorry I didn't stay to help clean up, but we left and--"

Kagome was cut off by her friend Yuki, "Yeah, so what'd you guys do?"

"We didn't do anything! He just got drunk and passed out. I had to carry him to my house, and the next afternoon, it just happened."

Kikyo was ecstatic, "WHAT happened?!"

Sango noticed that Kagome became flustered. "Well, he kissed me. and told me not to worry about stuff so go to sleep."

All the girls cooed and went to hug their friend. They praised her about what a nice couple they made. "Speaking of couples, where's Inuyasha?" Kikyo called to Inuyasha and he came about almost immediately. Kagome smirked and left her friends to bombard Kikyo and Inuyasha.

'I hate to say it, but they have no lives.'

She'd started to feel a weird feeling just a few seconds after she made a b- line to Sesshoumaru. It was as if someone was watching her. Then, out of nowhere, a firm hand grasped her shoulder.

"Hey Kagome"

She almost yelped in fright. But then she saw who the person was, then went back to normal.

"Don't ever scare me like that again. Hey, why are you here anyway, I thought you only came during the summer?"

"Well, it's nice to see you too. I came early because I wanted to see the news for myself."

Kagome looked at him wryly, as if say 'I ain't buying that.'

"Okay, okay. I got kicked out of my school for 'losing my patience with a teacher' I swear, that's what they said. Anyway, it was bull, so I just left."

"You mean you left after they kicked you out, huh."

"Yeah, whatever. Anyway, I heard you and Sess-chan got together. Is that true?"

"Yesterday, but officially today. Hey, where are you staying? Yuki wanted to know, for the next time you came."

'Yuki, who the hell is that?' "I'm still at my cousin's house. You know, still a couple of streets away from yours. Anyway, I gotta go talk to the principal here. I'll see ya later. Bye."
