A/N:  Sorry for the delay!  I've been quite busy and I'm getting very annoyed by all this sh* coming up right now.  GRRRRRRR………

            For the record, I have to get this out………. I WANT TO GO TO A PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!  Grrrrr………

            At least I think I do.  All this stuff is too many high school applications ESPECIALLY when my parents have to enroll me in EVERY single DAMN private school on the island! GRR……… My mom even wants to try to send me to HILO to go to school at that prepatory academy.  Good Lord, if I go there, we'll run out of money before college! GRRR………

            *perks up*  But of course, you don't give a dam do you? Hahahahahaha.  *Watches everyone shake their heads* 

            Heh heh………I didn't think so. 

            Hee hee.

            Oh, and yes, this is and always will be Inu/Kag.  Sesshy's just there to basically add more suspense! (sorry sess/kag lovers) but this started as an inu/kag fic and it will end that way.  I just gave it away, but still, I'm not evil enough to change the story plot that suddenly!

            ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            She had never felt her heart pounding so fast within her.  

            "Sesshoumaru…"  She barely whisperd.  "Please…"  But all that resulted was that he brought her even closer into his warmth.

            No!

            No! She couldn't think of it as warmth.

            This wasn't Inuyasha. 

            No matter how much she wanted it to be.

            No matter how much she needed it to be.

            This was NOT Inuyasha.

            But as he pulled her closer, she saw the silvery veil falling around her.

            Not This Was Not Inuyasha.

            "Damn."  She knew that voice in an instant.  And her already breathless lungs dried up.

            She felt the warmth flow out of her.

            Kagome heard a low growl in Sesshoumaru's throat.  She felt the vibration in her left ear.

            "Kagome, your taste has fallen." She didn't want to see the person who had just spoke.

            Yet, her body wasn't listening to her brain at the moment, and she turned, as much as she could anyway in his tight embrace.

            There he was, staring at them with an emotionless face. 

            "Jeeze," Inuyasha sighed, turning away from them.  "I came for a walk and I didn't know that I was interrupting anything.  Sorry about that."  With that said, he began to walk away, back into the trees where he had emerged from.

            Watching him disappear into the shadows of the trees was probably the hardest thing she had ever had to witness. 

            She mentally reached out to him.  Calling out his name. 

            Telling him the truth.

            However, that was not an option.

            She closed her eyes as the tears stung them.  "I've lost him forever." She whispered, turning into Sesshoumaru.

            "Kagome…"  He muttered. "This doesn't suit you." 

            She felt his finger beneath her chin, everything seemed to go in slow motion.

            And with that, she wasn't able to do anything about it. 

            She gasped as his soft lips met hers.

            It was a soft kiss, gentle as the morning breeze.

            But how could such an innocent touch be so potent, so strong and destructible?  For someone had witnessed the kiss, someone who hadn't truly left.

            Before Kagome could respond when Sesshoumaru pulled away from her, Sesshoumaru flew back away from her, his body slamming into a tree.

            Had she hadn't been so surprised, Kagome would've screamed.

            Thankfully, Sesshoumaru hadn't looked too severely hurt.  He winced a bit but nevertheless, stood up, his growl filling the air.

            "You bastard." 

            Kagome turned around.  "Inuyasha."  She whispered, standing up.

            His gaze met hers. 

            Golden orbs met sapphire ones.  He seemed to be trying to tell her something… reaching out to her.

            Yet his features remained unreadable.

            Kagome looked away, suddenly finding interest in the ground.

            Inuyasha's eyes softened. 'Kagome…'

            "You should pay more attention dear brother."  Kagome looked up as Sesshoumaru, completely recovered from the former blow, deliver a killer punch to Inuyasha's face.

            Kagome screamed.  "Stop!"  She cried, as the two engaged in a one on one match.

            Sesshoumaru jumped away from Inuyasha, landing gracefully.  The rain added to the dramatic scene as it cascaded around them.

            "Go ahead… do it."  Inuyasha smirked at Sesshoumaru.  "It'll make things much more interesting."

            Kagome gasped when she saw the stance that Sesshoumaru had taken.  She had seem him like this one other time. 

            [Flashback]

            "Get off of me!"  Kagome cried, trying desperately to free her arms.  The grip, however was too strong.

            She felt so helpless.

            Here she was, afraid of the unknown, and all she could do about it was yell. 

            "Calm down baby, we just want a party."  The man in front of her said, his breath was tainted… drunk.

            He gazed at her through lustful eyes.

            No! He wasn't going to…

            "HELP! SOMEBODY PL-"  He gagged her, the cloth muffling any sound she had tried to emit.

            She knew it hadn't been a very good idea to take this way home.  The alley… in the dead of the night.  But she had stayed at school late in the library and this was the quickest way home.

            There really wasn't much choice less she wanted to worry her family.

            Then again, was losing her virginity any better than simply worrying her mother?

            The man drew closer to her, the other two men holding her down to the dirty street. 

            She could sense that they were demons.  That was true, demons and thugs lived in places like these.

            Just waiting to torture the innocent passer-by.

            Disgusting.

            He reached for her, his dirty hands touching her.

            "Oi." Kagome heard the voice.  The man stopped and turned around, as Kagome lifted her neck, just enough to see who her savior was.

            "mmmhmmmmmmhmmm!"  She cried, meaning "Sesshoumaru!"

            He nodded to her.  Then, he took a sort of strang fighting stance.

            Two of his fingers, his index and middle began to glow a golden color.  Now, Kagome had always known that Sesshoumaru was a demon.  There were actually 4 demons in her class Sesshoumaru, Kouga, Kagura, and a young man named Naraku.  However, nowadays, demons and humans basically lived in peace, not exactly eager to return to the Warring States Era.

            Sesshoumaru had always been in her class, but the two had never conversed.  He was there, sure, but he was quiet.  She was never really quite sure how he was able to become so unsociable yet become so popular.

            With that, a long whip of light emerged, and with one movement of his arms, the whip flashed, flying toward her attackers.

            With a single moment, she no longer felt any pressure subduing her arms. 

            All three of the drunken demons were dead.

            Sliced cleanly in half.

            "Sesshoumaru…"  She whispered, turning away from the sight of their mangled bodies.

            "I'm sorry that you had to witness that, Kagome."  It was the most she had ever heard him speak. 

            Despite the situation, she was able to give him a warm smile. 

            [End of Flashback]

            The demons had been killed so easily.

            Sesshoumaru's nails started to glow.

            And soon, Inuyasha would be too. 

            "NO!"  Kagome screamed, but it was too late…

            The attack had already been unleashed.

            A/N: Sorry it's so short, but I'll update sooner than last time, I promise! ^_^ It is spring break after all.
