A/N: I had extra time on my hands, so I decided to write this one as well. Right now I'm listening to Suteki da Ne by RIKKI. I love that song better than 1000 Words!

People stared and whispered as he the beautiful senior walked down the hallway towards his homeroom class. He was used to it, so he didn't pay any attention.

If he had paid attention, he would have heard people talking about him and Kagome being seen at a subway station together…

"Omigosh, Kagome!" Sango gasped, "Everyone is talking about you and Sesshoumaru!"

Kagome hadn't been in the school building for two minutes when Sango and two of her friends bum-rushed her. She had noticed a bunch of people pointing and whispering – a few girls glaring – at her earlier.

One girl even had the nerve to go up to her and ask 'Was he good?'

Now that Sango told her, she knew exactly what the girl was talking about. She was talking about Sesshoumaru… in bed.

"Man, Kag, your dad's gonna kill you."

Kagome groaned at the mention of her father. He was about to kill her last night when Theresa found those birth control pills. "I got it, Sango. I'll just act like nothing's going on for the rest of the day. I mean, there are laws against killing your children. Right? *pause* RIGHT?"

Sango snapped out of her daze and bobbed her head up and down enthusiastically.

A/N: I had to add a little bit of Rikku-ness.

Just then, Hojo came by with an old-fashioned camera and a pencil in hand.

After the bright light, he began to ask straightforward questions.

"How long have you two been going steady, Miss Higurashi?"

If Kagome hadn't known him better, she could have sworn she saw tears in his eyes.

"Um, no comment?"

Sango looked at her scornfully and pulled her towards her Chemistry class.

It was a long day and he was bushed. His fanclub had been hounding him all day; asking him questions about Kagome, how could he betray them, and so on and so forth. He had a legitimate reason to leave school – a migraine.

His body and mind had been screaming for Kagome all day, but she seemed to be avoiding him. It was a smart move, but painful to endure. He wondered if it was painful for her, too.

Sesshoumaru shook his head and thought a while.

The only person who knew they were meeting in that subway was that old lady he helped out earlier. How had she known?

He couldn't recall her following them or anything. He didn't even know that she could recognize Kagome. Or maybe someone else saw us?

It didn't matter now. What mattered was that the whole school knew and pretty soon, all of Japan.

Everyone knows that that's where celebrity-bashers got their juicy stories from – gossipers at school.

He wondered how Kagome was doi-

Speak of the she-devil.

She gave him an apologetic smile and picked up one of his books. They didn't notice that the kids in the hall stopped to watch the two, as the school dubbed them, 'love birds'.

"As you can see, the whole school knows. So why don't we ditch the act?"

It was a reasonable suggestion. If he hadn't loved her so much, he would have made a sarcastic remark.

"I-I can't go home. My dad's gonna kill me," she was hesitant to continue. "Can we go to your place?"

Is it me or is she saying that a lot now?

Sesshoumaru nodded his head. He didn't trust his voice right now.

Like a gentleman, he linked his arm in hers and led the way to his convertible.
