Ok, sorry it took me an extra day to get this chappie up, but I think it's
a good one! And the most important: The Vote! It was so close I counted
like, 8 times! No repeat votes were counted of course, and the winner
is..........
Sesshomaru and Kagome!
Sorry to all you Inuyasha lovers out there (hey don't get mad, I was fair.) I know you wanted him to get the girl, but don't worry, he ends up happy! But anyways, on to the next chappie!
Ch 5
"Oi! Wench!" Kagome heard the sound of Inuyasha's voice calling after her as she walked down the main hall. She waited until he could catch up.
"What did Miroku say to you?" he asked.
"Oh nothing, just that you thought I was hot," she said flippantly. Amusement tugged at the corner of her mouth when she saw the look on Inuyasha's face. He immediately removed it and replaced it with an air of nonchalance.
"Feh! I only said that to shut him up."
"Oh" was all Kagome said, disappointed. Inuyasha frowned, he didn't like it when Kagome wasn't smiling.
"Do you want a ride home?" he asked.
"No" she said quietly, "Koga's meeting me at the front of the school to take me to track practice." She got the reaction she desired; Inuyasha immediately flipped out.
"What! That baka probably doesn't even remember how to get to his own house, let alone the track field! You have a crush on him! I knew it!"
"Inuyasha, if you're so upset about it, you can come along and chaperone us if you'd like," Kagome replied sweetly.
"Feh! I just might!" he grumbled.
******************************************************
"Why is dogboy here?" Koga asked, perplexed (A/N: I love that word- perplexed).
"He's chaperoning us. And why do you call him 'dogboy'? For that matter, that's the second time I have heard someone insult him by using some reference to a dog."
"I don't know," Koga replied, "Sesshomaru calles him an 'insolent pup' one time when they were publicly arguing and a girl said he was as cute as a puppy. I guess it just stuck with him."
"Stop talking about me like I'm not here!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome turned around.
"What? Who are you?" she said with a puzzled expression on here face. She quickly apologized when Inuyasha shot her an extremely pissed look. Koga gave Inuyasha a triumphant smile, so Inuyasha decided to play his trump card.
"Kagome, what time did you want me to pick you up on Saturday?" Inuyasha asked.
"Oh, I don't know, whenever is good for you, just give me a call when you decide, or tell me at school." (A/N: for reference, today is Wednesday).
"Where are you guys going?" Koga asked suspiciously. But just as Kagome opened her mouth to tell him, Inuyasha interrupted.
"None of your business!" he snarled. Fortunately, before there was any more ill words, they arrived at the track field. Inuyasha left for his kendo practice, and Koga took her to talk to the coach. Coach Sushi questioned Kagome about her previous track experience and, liking what he heard, decided she could try out for the team tomorrow, even though it was in the middle of the season.
********************************************************
Kagome walked to her navy blue Honda accord, contemplating the track practice, when she was pushed face-first onto the trunk of another person's car. Lips caressed her ear as someone held her down and put a hand over her mouth.
"I apologize if I have startled you, but you see, I wanted to talk to you alone." She recognized the cold voice from lunch and struggled to get free. Kagome kicked at her captor's legs which made him lose his grip on her. She grabbed the arm that held onto her waist, spun underneath it, and punched Naraku's face. A choked yell sounded from his mouth, but he quickly recovered and grabbed a hold of her arms. He pinned her legs to the car with his and a smile tainted with malice formed on his lips.
"You're a bold one girl, but I get what I desire, and no one has the power to stop me." He leaned closer to Kagome's face, reveling in her fury and fear.
"No one?" a bland voice questioned from behind. Naraku's face turned away from Kagome's to identify the speaker. She noticed that his face paled considerably. Naraku was suddenly thrown away from Kagome by the voice's hand on the back of his shirt. "Now leave you worthless imbecile." Naraku scrambled to comply and Kagome's saviour turned, his identity revealed in pale silver and burnished amber. She immediately burst into sobs and threw her arms around Sesshomaru.
*****************************************************
They sat there for a few minutes, Kagome muffling her sobs in Sesshomaru's navy uniform, Sesshomaru standing solidly against the onslaught of her tears. He suddenly grabbed her upper arms and removed her from his chest. He looked her in the eyes and something flashed through them, but Kagome couldn't discern what exactly. He moved to a silver jaguar that was parked close by and got it. Kagome was left standing in the parking lot, wiping away traces of tears, as he drove away. She vaguely heard someone call her name.
"Ka-go-me!" Inuyasha was standing right next to her. "What were you doing with Sesshomaru?" he continued angrily.
"Nothing, Inuyahsa," she said quietly.
"It had better be nothing; his girlfriend is one of the jealous type," he informed her.
"He has a girlfriend?" she said, surprised. Inuyasha nodded in response. Of course he does, she thought. Did you forget you also have a boyfriend? a nasty voice inside her head sounded. She sighed. Why is everything so confusing?
"I'll see you tomorrow, Inuyasha."
"Ok Kagome," he paused. "Are you sure you're ok? He didn't hurt you or anything?"
"No, Sesshomaru came at just the right time and made him leave." Kagome thought Inuyasha was talking about what Naraku did.
"What are you talking about, wench?" Inuyasha was looking at her with a strange expression on his face. Kagome realized he had no clue what happened with Naraku and told him the whole story. When Inuyasha vowed to kill Naraku, Kagome begged him to just leave it alone.
"He looked really scared when Sess told him to leave. I'm sure he won't bother me anymore. Please Inuyasha! It's my first day! I don't want to start trouble all ready!" Inuyasha agreed after lengthy debate on the condition that if Naraku did anything else, she would let him know. He looked at her, and his eyes softened. He brushed the bangs out of her eyes.
"See you tomorrow, Kagome." He let his had fall and walked to his red Mustang convertible. She did likewise and was home in no time. She said hi to her mom, went upstairs, changed into her pajamas, and fell into bed without even eating.
*********************************************************
At the Ito household, Inuyasha crashed through his brother's bedroom door, eyes angry. Sesshomaru was reading.
"Leave Kagome alone," he said murderously.
"Why little brother," Sesshomaru said dryly "would you rather I had let Naraku have his way with her?" Iunyasha lunged at his brother with a roar. Sess grabbed the fist that came at him effortless, then the second.
"You need to learn to control your temper brother," he crushed Inuyasha's fists with his hands, them threw them toward their owner, causing him to stumble backwards. Inuyasha rubbed his hands.
"I wonder what Kagura would think of your interest in Kagome? It almost seems like you care for her." Inuyasha said thoughtfully. Sess snarled and lunged at his brother, pinning him against the wall by his neck with one hand.
"Get. out."
Inuyasha did so, leaving Sesshomaru with the thoughts he had been having earlier, voiced for all to know: Why did he care what happened to her?

So what'd ya think? Please review! Questions are welcome! I love you all! Ja ne!
