Sesshoumaru all to myself. -_-; Anyways I promise school starts

the reviews.
Signing Up and School Start
*~*~*~*~*~
(Sesshoumaru's Pov)
'I really am getting tired of this university. 'I thought. "I would like to sign up for archery?" Another mindless giggling wench came up to me and said.
I inwardly sighed. I had needed something to do. I had needed something to keep me busy until school started. That's why I'm here, signing up new members for the kendo and archery club.
"What is your name?" In my tone of voice you could tell I wasn't interested in her. The girl giggled again and told me her name. I wrote it down. I was restraining myself. This girl was getting on my last nerve.
"What are you in standards?" I asked. "Huh, what does that mean?" I realized she must of bought her way into this school. I tried to use smaller words. "Are you a beginner, intermediate, or an expert in archery?"
"Oh Yeah! I am a beginner." I gave her a schedule of the classes and she walked back to the group of giggling idiots I assumed were her friends. I heard her whisper...
"I think he likes me." They all giggled one more time before leaving the dojo.
I could barely keep in the growl as they left. Another growl threatened to escape as I heard the sliding door open. I looked up to see a girl looking around like she was never here before. She turned towards me and blue eyes met amber. 'Don't I know that girl from somewhere?' I thought to myself as we stared at each other. The girl blushed and looked away. 'Just another mindless drone' I thought as she made her way towards me.
"Nice to see you again..Sesshoumaru.was it?" I looked at her with my emotionless mask still in place. "Do I know you?"
The girl just gave me a bright smile. "Kagome Higurashi...we met over the summer...Shiora's daughter." I remembered the girl. She had her mother had visited mine with her and her brother. Even though realization came upon me it didn't show on my face.
I continued on with the signing up procedure. "What do you wish to join?" I said looking down at my paper again.
Her smile faltered, but she answered.
"I would like to join archery."
"Beginner, Intermediate, or are you an Expert?"
My pen was ready to mark down beginner but what she said stopped and surprised me. Somewhat.
"Can you sign me down as an expert?"
I looked up a her. My facial expression hadn't changed but my eyes looked at her skeptically.
"What's wrong?"
"Are you sure?"
It surprised me when she was beginning to get annoyed. 'Most girls would just giggle and agree with me.'
"Yes, why do you ask?'
I wasn't going to beat around the bush. "You don't seem like an expert, but more like a beginner."
"How dare you! You don't even know me that well."
Saying I was surprised right at the moment was an understatement. If looks could kill I would have been on the lowest of hell. But that wasn't what surprised me. What surprised me was this girls attitude. She didn't appear so... . .defiant. I almost smirked. 'Maybe this girl isn't like the rest...she's different...interesting.'
I wrote down expert and gave the wen-er girl her schedule. "This is your schedule for the archery classes." I said handing her the form.
"Thanks." her voice was dripping with sarcasm.
"Anytime.." She seemed to be even more furious as I said that.
As she left the room I watched her retreating figure.
'Yes very interesting indeed.'
*~*~*~*~Kagome's Pov*~*~*~
'That jerk!' I thought as I left the room heading for my dorm room. (A.N Did I mention all the clubs are in the University. The University's housing our the dormitories whatever you want to call it is across the street from the actual University.)
'He thinks just because he is SO gorgeous he can..WAIT..pause...rewind..replay.did I just think he was gorgeous.' I stopped suddenly as I entered the housing building. 'Okay.Okay! I have to admit, no matter how much of a jerk he is that doesn't take away the fact he's beautiful.'
I entered my room and made sure I slammed it REALLY hard.
"Back already?" I turned around to see Sango sitting on her bed with a magna on her lap. "Yeah!" I said heading towards my bed.
"What happened? You only just left the café to sign up for archery?" She said looking towards me. I was now sprawled on the bed glaring at the ceiling like it caused all my problems.
"There was this total jerk named Sesshoumaru who said I didn't seem like "an expert archer" even though I am. He doesn't even really know me."
"What do you mean when you say "doesn't really?"
"Well, he's Inuyasha's half brother and my mom is friends with their mother." I paused "..we met during the summer."
"Is he cute?"
"He's Inuyasha's brother."
"That doesn't answer my question."
"..."
"Well.is he?"
"Alright already he's gorgeous! I don't see what that has to do with anything he's still a jerk!"
Sango was getting me annoyed.
"Calm down Kagome. If he doesn't know you just prove him wrong when the time comes."
'How can I go from wanting to kill her to wanting to hug her?' I sat up on the bed and looked towards Sango. Sometime during the conversation she began reading her magna.
"What days do you have archery?" She asked me not looking from her book. "Umm.." I pulled the paper out my pocket and looked at it. "Tuesday and Thursday afternoons right after school is over."
"What about you Sango did you sign up for Karate?" At this question she began to blush.
"Yeah, so did Miroku..turns out we have the same schedule."
I could barely keep from laughing at the look on Sango's face. For her sake I decided to change the subject.
"Do you know when club sessions start?"
"Umm..yeah it starts the same time school starts."
"Sango."
"Yes Kagome?"
"I have a feeling this is going to be a very LONG school year."
"I have a feeling your right Kag's."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(A.N: Just to tell you know I really don't know how the college system in Japan works so I'm using the American system. Somewhat. You'll see what I mean.)
During the time of the week before school we received our schedule's. I had two classes with Sang and one day when we didn't have any classes.
The school had a dress code. Girls wore blue skirts with white button down T-shirts. Boys wore black or blue dress pants with a white button down shirt. If the dress code was broken you get immediate suspension.
Sango and I got everything ready. We hadn't spoken to Inuyasha or Miroku since the day after I signed up for archery. We had gone to the mall to see a movie.
"What time does your first class start Kagome?" Sango asked me as we got dressed for bed.
"Umm..9:00."
"You're so lucky my first class is biology which I'm not good at and starts 8:00." She said giving me a envious glare.
"Hey I'm just lucky like that." I said knowing it would get her even more upset.
She just threw a pillow at me while muttering a 'Goodnight Kagome.'
"Goodnight Sango." I said laying down and turning of the table lamp, before heading off into dreams of a first day.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"OH MY KAMI!" That's the sound I woke up to the next morning. I mumbled something incoherently as I sat up looking at the time it read 7:43. I looked over to see a hurrying Sango frantically searching for something. She was currently in school attire.
"What's wrong Sango? I said as I saw her looking towards me. "Kagome..I'm going to be late on my first day. I can't find my bag or my shoes."
I tried to stifle my laughter. I REALLY did but I couldn't hold it in. I started to burst into laughter.
"You think this is funny!" Sango all but shouted at me.
"Calm down Sango. Your bag is by the table in the kitchen and your shoes are under your bed."
Sango looked at me strangely then came back five minutes later with her shoes and bag.
"Thanks Kagome! You a life saver!" Sango said as she ran out the room.
I sighed. Looking at the clock again it read 7:49. I got out of bed and headed towards the bathroom. 'Better time then any to start to get ready' was my motto as I closed the door behind me.
When I came out the bathroom it was 8:20. I got dresses and threw my side strap bag around my shoulder as I headed out the door. I took the elevator to the main floor and left the building.
The university was just across the street. I had 25 minutes to spare before my class began. I went into the building and looked for my classes. Two out of all my classes including Sango's biology class had morning classes.
The hallways were getting more crowded as time went on. When I looked at my watch it read 8:55. I headed to my first class 'History of the Warring States Era.'
When I arrived at the class it was almost full. I also realized the teacher was sitting at the desk reading some book. There were only three remaining seats. One all the way in the back and two in the middle row. I then noticed that baka Sesshoumaru was sitting next to one of the two seats.
I took the one next to him. I really don't know why but I did. I could tell he was looking at me when I sat down. It made me self-conscious for some reason, but I tried to ignore him as I took out my books.
When the bell rang the teacher stood. It was then I realized he was never sitting. He was a bald old man. He reached around my waist in height. He had white side burns and a unusually pointy nose.
The man began to speak. "Hello, my name is Mr..." But the man was cut of by the slamming open of the door. Someone stood there panting holding his chest. Soon I realized it was Miroku!
"I'm.pant...so...gasp.sorry." He said as he looked DOWN at the teacher.
"It's okay Mr. ..." The old man trailed of. "Segura." Miroku finished for him. "Yes well Mr. Segura take a seat."
As I heard him say that I paled visibly and shrunk down in my seat. The only two seats were in front between two boys or the seat next to me. Miroku looked over toward the seat and I covered my face with my book. I think he noticed me because he made his was toward the seat.
I gave up and sat up properly when I realized it was no use hiding. He saw me and had that lecherous grin on his face. 'Boy.Am I in trouble or what?' I thought as he sat next to me.
I realized that looking uncomfortable and nervous was only going to make the situation I was in worse.
*^*^*^*^*^Sesshoumaru's Pov
I was a bit surprised when that girl sat next to me. I could see the sudden look of anger in her eyes, but just as quickly as it came it left. When the old man began to speak I didn't pay attention. I already knew who he was.
Turning my attention to the door as it slammed open showed some tardy boy. After an apology to the teacher he began to look for a place to sit. The girl next to me, I noticed seemed to get rigged.
That made me feel a little angry at the un-named boy. Why? I have no idea. But that grin he aimed toward her wasn't making thee situation any better. The boy now identified as 'Miroku' sat next to.... 'Ummmm, what was her name?'... Oh yes Kagome. The teacher continued his introduction. "Hello class my name is Mr. Myouga Chibi, but you may call me Mr. Myouga-sensei. Welcome to Tokyo University. Please raise your hand if you are a new student here."
Three-quarter the students raised there hand including Kagome and Miroku.
"Well welcome to Tokyo University's Warring States-History Class." And with that the class started.
I was always interested in the Sengoku Jidai era. I don't know why but I felt somehow connected to that time. Looking to my left I saw Kagome looking very interested in the lesson.
~~~~*~~~~~Kagome's Pov~~~~~*~~~~~
I was trying my best not to pay attention to the jerk on my right and hentai on my left. The lesson was very interesting.
I always was interested in the Warring States Era ( sounds familiar!). That is one of the reasons I loved archery. Sometimes I even LISTEN to my ji-chan's stories of the Goshinboku tree.
I was so engrossed in the lesson I didn't notice the hand moving nearer and nearer down south. Nearer it went until.........
"KKKKKKYYYYAAAAAA!!!!!!!" I nearly hit the ceiling as I jumped out of my seat avoiding the hand in my 'personal space.'
I gave Miroku a glare that was so cold it would freeze the hottest depths of hell.
"Miroku.y-." I was cut of my a voice coming from the front of the room. It was Mr. Myouga.
"Ms. Higurashi unless you know the answer to the question I suggest you sit down!" He said in a stern voice.
I was SO going to massacre Miroku. "Umm.what was the question?" I heard people in the class snickering. 'I'm going to make sure Miroku won't BE ABLE TO have children.'
Mr. Myouga sighed. "What was the name of the sacred jewel of the Warring-States Era?"
Things were looking up considering I knew the answer. Ji'chan always taught us about that legend.
"It was called the 'Shikon No Tama.'
Author's Note- I really didn't like how that chapter came out. I don't know but I'm getting major writer's block. Please! Please! Review and give me ideas. I don't want to have to put this story on hold. Anyway thanks to those 11 people who took time to review this story.
