I once had a muse...... two even, but sadly they left with my mother to go to write a book, she came back from that little rendezvous, but they didn't. They sent me a postcard saying that they liked it down there so they were staying.
Ungrateful bakas, I make them up and they leave me! Oh well, I must admit, I do much better without them. Oh well, have fun.
Chapter 3: Melting Away the Ice part 1"Is it me, or has Kagome been spending most of her time now thinking?" Sango asked, as they watched their friend from the sliding glass door in the cafeteria, they sat at the seat nearest to it to keep an eye out on her."Who'd blame her?" Inuyasha said sighing slightly.
"What do you mean?" Kikyo asked looking over at him confused. Why would anything they do make her feel bad? If that was what he was commenting on.
"She feels like the third wheel around us" Miroku said looking back at his longtime friend.
"I see your point." The girls said looking back at her.
Kagome sat down under a tree near the cafeteria, she could feel her friends' worrying stares, but she ignored them, she had to think of the problem at hand. 'Why the hell did Naraku do that, what did he want with me, I mean Kagura is already his girlfriend' she thought while unconsciously rubbing the spot on her already bandaged wrist where he clutched her. Kouga came and sat down beside her."What's wrong Kagome?" he'd been wanting a reason to talk to her for a while now, he really liked her.
"What do you mean?" she looked at him confused.
"What's up with your wrist?" he pointed out.
"Oh... Naraku's bidding" she fell silent as if back in thought.
"What did he want?"
"Don't know"
"So how did you get away from him?"
"Sesshomaru helped me" she looked up, a slight blush on her cheeks, a dazed look about her face, Kouga leaned over and whispered something into her ear.
"Oh
be quiet!" she playfully snapped out, blush coming on full force,
then pushed him. He pushed her back, she took up some leaves and
threw them on him, and so he got back at her by tickling her. "No
not fair!, you have claws!!" she gasped out while
laughing.
Sesshomaru was in the tree above them he heard and
saw everything (except what was whispered) and for some unknown
reason to him (or me) he was beginning to feel slightly possessive of
Kagome. He didn't want that wolf anywhere near her.
He
watched as Kouga tickled her relentlessly, he watched and waited to
see if she would push him off, but she didn't. He knew she was only
playing with the wolf, but that didn't stop the feelings of
possessiveness, disgust and slight hurt from the action. He felt a
growl coming up, and he tried to suppress it, but that didn't
work.
'Oh kuso probably disturbing his peace or something' he thought, not catching the hidden threat of possessiveness. "Kagome... uh lets go," he said getting up.
"O...k, but why?"
"We seem to be disturbing Sesshomaru" he said while pointing up, she followed his finger and was staring into Sesshomaru's intense glare.
'Oh kuso' she thought 'but I sit here every lunch hour and I have never heard a complaint, I didn't even know he was there. So naturally I didn't think anything was wrong'
"Gomen"
they said then walked off with Kouga muttering about 'people with
sticks up their asses' and Kagome just kept staring into
Sesshomaru's 'angry' eyes over her shoulder, she was looking as
if she lost something and she couldn't find herself to stare
away.
"Beautiful" she muttered slightly.
"Huh?" kouga said cutting off his rant and snapping her back to reality.
"Wha?"
"You were just mumbling about beautiful eyes or some crap like that" he said slightly confused.
"Really I don't remember saying that"
"Well whatever" they both shrugged it off and kept walking.
Sesshomaru smirked at her comment, he heard her loud and clear.ЮÑÑЮÑÑÑÑп""áºâ €â§
A couple of days passed and Kagome and Kouga have been getting closer, or Kouga has just been getting himself closer to Kagome, to her he was just a wolf who wont go away, so she just let him stay, besides she had to admit, she liked his company. They went everywhere on the compound together when she was not in class of at training or with her friends, those three took up at least 80% of her time, she made sure of it."C'mon Kouga, lets go over to the elementary school next door"
"Why?"
"So I can visit Rin and Shippo"
"Ok. Whatever" he sighed, he didn't want to spend the little time he had with her in the company of some little brats.
At the elementary school, Sesshomaru was talking to Rin about a problem she was having with another kid."So why didn't you talk to the half-breed about this?"
"Inuyasha was too busy with Kikyo so I asked you" she sniffed.
"Ok" he sighed, "who is this-"
The sweet scent of honey and wildflowers flooded his nose, followed by the odor of a rather persistent wolf. 'Kagome's here, with Kouga he thought
[All
archers and javlinists (?) please report to the track field now] was
said over the intercom alerting all.
"Kouga, I gotta go"
Kagome said feigning and apologetic look; he lapped it up like a
sucker.
"Ok see you later?" he sighed, there goes his time with Kagome, its like she's trying to avoid him, she mentally shook that thought out of his head.
"Yeah... Ok I guess?" she hugged him briefly then ran off.
"Rin I'll be back later""Ok Sesshomaru" he walked off but not without brushing past Kouga and making a low growl.
Kagome met up with Sango and Kikyo at the field, both were amongst the growing group of Track members waiting on the field. Sesshomaru walked up and stopped behind them, taking in as much of Kagome's scent as he possibly can without making it obvious 'why am I doing this?' he thought"Takami!" the head coach said in his booming intimidating voice.
"Coach?" he answered snapping back to reality,
"What's your record?"
"40m"
"Hmm, Shinzuku"
"Coach?" Sango answered
"What's your record?"
"32m"
"We'll need you to work on that, but for now its good."
"What's the occasion?" an unnamed member asked
"There is a meet later on this evening, didn't you remember"
Everyone, except Sesshomaru, oh-ed
"How are my prized archers doing?"
"Good sir" Kikyo beamed,
"Not so good sir" Kagome mumbled, all eyes turned to her.
"How comes?"
"Well, when you left us yesterday at training, I had a run in with a certain boomerang"
"I said I was sorry" Sango mumbled, all eyes turned to her.
"Shinzuku I thought I told you not to throw that boomerang around"
"I know I'm sorry sir, it would never happen again"
"Kagome, can you shoot?" he asked sighing
She looked at her wrist, "no I haven't tried,"
"Well get practicing while I talk to the rest of the team"
"Yes sir" she sighed then jogged off towards the range.
Kikyo watched intently as Kagome took her stance, completely tuning out the coach, Kagome strapped up a but hesitantly, making sure the Velcro was looser than usual, she didn't want to feel any unnecessary pain, other than the release sting of the arrow. She took an arrow from the quiver at her feet and knocked it in the bow. She aimed, wincing at the pain from her wrist, and then released her arrow a searing white-hot pain shot up her arm. She grasped her arm dropping her bow and sank to the ground in pain."Kagome!" Kikyo yelled
"Takanaka stay"
"But she's hurt"
"Takami you carry Higurashi to the nurses station"
"Yes sir" he sighed making it seem like he would find shaving his head more appealing ( sess with a haircut, nonononononono, the horror!!) he took her up bridal style and took her to the nurse. No one noticed the position of the arrow in the middle of the center.
