Ok wow, I was totally stuck on this chapter for a long time. It still isn't
as good as I want it to be but that's ok. I want to get started on a couple
more stories that I have planned out. It's August 22, and today I am 17, so
here's my birthday present to you-a belated chapter. I love all of my
reviewers lots.
Disclaimer: Hey Ms. Takahashi, it's my birthday today, how about giving me the rights to Inuyasha, eh? (Wow that totally rhymed!)
Ch 6
Kagome was woken up by a phone call.
"Hello?" she said sleepily
"Morning sunshine! I didn't get a chance to call you yesterday, but have a good second day at your new school!"
"Oh Hojo! Thank you!" Kagome exclaimed, realizing who it was.
"Well, I have to finish getting ready, so I'll see you soon! Bye!" Kagome said 'bye' back and hung up the phone. She stretched and went to go take a shower. She got out, a fluffy yellow bathrobe around her, and her hair already blow-dried. She put on her school uniform, gave her appearance a once-over, and bounded down the steps to breakfast.
"Kagome, you went to bed early last night," her mother said. "Is something wrong?" Kagome forced a smile on her face.
"Nah, just really tired I guess."
"Ok honey," her mother said skeptically.
*****************************************************
Kagome was trying her lock for the third time (thank god she was early and had time to figure it out before the bell rang) when she suddenly felt like she was being watched. She casually looked behind her shoulder, but everyone was looking pointedly away from her. Great, she thought, now what's going on? Like an answer to her question, a growling noise sounded on the other side of her, accompanied by a tapping of a foot. Kagome turned around and came face-to-face with a miniature Sesshomaru...well ok, it was one of those girls in the wigs, and she did not look happy.
"Higurashi Kagome?" the girl questioned. Kagome nodded. "Will you please confirm that this is indeed a picture of you?"
The said picture was thrust into Kagome's hands. She gasped as she realized what it was. There, in the picture, was her sitting down...on Sesshomaru's lap...on the ground...by the soda machines. She looked up at the girl and nodded, then she gulped, and ran at light speed down the hallway.
***********************************************
Kagome may have been an all star track runner, but hell hath no speed like Sesshomaru fangirls. She rounded a corner and ran through the first door that she saw. It slammed behind her and she leaned against it, trying to catch her breath. She looked up and realized that she was in the school's garden. Well I can shoot two arrows from one bow she thought, I've been wanting to take a look at the garden. Kagome wandered along the stone pathways until she heard the sound of running water. She turned the corner and..
"Are you following me wench?"
Oh she knew that voice. She rounded on the speaker.
"No I'm not! For your information, I'm hiding from those lunatics who worship you! It's not my fault that you happened to be in the garden too!" she yelled and sat down on a nearby bench with a 'humph'. Amazingly, Sess sat down next to her. Then she remembered what he had done for her yesterday. Kagome cleared her throat,
"Listen, I never got a chance to.err, properly thank.." she was cut off by Sesshomaru.
"Do you know what type of flower that is?" He said pointing. Kagome frowned. Was this some sort of pop quiz or did he randomly change topics like that all the time?
"Yeah it's and orchid, my Father got me this silk one on his last trip." She pointed to the yellow one in her hair.
"Does he stay at home now?" Sess asked, rather politely, but still looking ahead.
"No," she began quietly, "he died in a plane crash a while ago." A few minutes passed by when Sesshomaru heard her sniffling and turned. When he did, he saw that tears had started to roll down her cheeks all of a sudden.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." she stopped speaking, but he finished with his low voice.
"To speak of it?"
"I.I'm sorry," he sighed inwardly, she was sobbing her eyes out and asking his forgiveness at the same time.
"You apologize for the wrong things girl." He could not silence traitorous tongue; why did this girl's feelings matter? For that matter, why was he listening to her? She had started talking about her father again, he realized belatedly.
"He was always bringing me little presents and things to remind me of him when he was away." She looked into Sesshomaru's eyes as she spoke. "I guess that's why I started dating Hojo; he always brought me presents too. I knew in my heart that we were just friends, but I couldn't spend the rest of my days with a blank spot in my heart."
They sat in awkward silence for a few minutes when Kagome turned to him.
"I haven't really actually come out and said that before," she attempted a small smile, and, daringly put her hand on his shoulder. He ignored the gesture, of course. "Thanks for listening to me." Unconsiously, both of their faces were inches apart and coming closer by the second. Suddenly, the bell rang and both sprang apart (oh man, I'm an evil author).
*******************************************************
By the time second period English rolled around, everyone at school had either seen the infamous picture or at least heard about it, much to the displeasure of Kagome. It's not like she wanted to be sitting on his lap or anything! Even Inuyasha (not the most observant person in the world) noticed the way her and Sesshomaru were guarding their gazes, lest they be accused of looking at each other. In addition to the swarms of girls glaring at Kagome for daring to touch Sesshomaru, there was an equal number of guys that looked ready to jump Sesshomaru, jealous of whatever was between him and the new hot chick. But no one dared to say anything in front of either; Everyone could see anger in the faces both had miraculous been able to keep in check.
*******************************************************
Oh Kay! It's my shortest chappie yet, and I am still kinda stuck on the story, but I will try to have this whole one done by the first week of September. If anyone could recommend a good beta reader that knows what they are doing(i.e has a few fics under their belt) I would be extremely grateful. I honestly have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, I just kind of wing it right now. Thanx for actually reading my author notes by the way, I know I have the bad habit of skipping over other people's sometimes.
