Chapter 3

When I'm around you

----------

Sesshoumaru didn't reply to her gratitude. He was studying her. He looked her over once or five times. She didn't look that bad, compared to some other people that he despised.

He had good ears. Everyone knew that. With all the whispers going around, it was hard not to hear. So her name was Kagome. Not bad. Especially when you could compare her to Kikyou. And in some other ways as well. With all the whispers, it was also hard not to hear that she was InuYasha's girl. 'Was' being the key word.

Kagome was getting nervous. Sesshoumaru's eyes moved from one place to another, and she got increasingly nervous each time they went somewhere. What was he looking at? She fought the urge to blush and tried to ignore the fact that he was looking at her.

In the end, she started blushing anyways. How could she not? Either that, or faint. And fainting wasn't a good option.

"So...er...um...how's life?" Kagome asked, trying to change the subject to anything at all.

----------

InuYasha glared daggers at Kagome and Sesshoumaru. How dare Sesshoumaru steal his girl! InuYasha thought it over for a moment. Did he just think what he thought he thought? Kagome was his girl? No. Wrong. Kikyou was his girl now. Kagome was his ex. He left her. He tried to remember that.

Wasn't it bad enough that Sesshoumaru was his brother and had every girl in school like him? No, he was going for Kagome as well. That was going too far. But what could he do about it? He was the one who broke up with her in the first place. She would never take him back.

Kikyou was still dancing but noticed the vacant look in his eyes.

"InuYasha? InuYasha!" She couldn't believe she had to shout just to get his attention!

He blinked. "What?" he asked, sounding like he had been paying attention to Kikyou instead of Kagome the whole time.

"What were you looking at?" Kikyou asked, trying not to sound desperate.

InuYasha was the closest thing she had to Sesshoumaru, and InuYasha had actually wanted her. But if he was going for someone else, it would seem pitiful. No one had ever left her for another girl before. Ever.

"No one. I'm just thirsty. Excuse me." He hastily made up an excuse, leaving Kikyou out on the dance floor by herself.

Kikyou frowned.

"I didn't say who...I said what," she muttered to herself.

Pouting, Kikyou snapped her fingers, pointed at some random guy and ordered, "You. Dance with me."

Quickly deserting his own girlfriend, he jumped up at the chance to dance with Kikyou.

----------

Sesshoumaru was done studying Kagome. He went back to his drink. Kagome wasn't bad looking at all.

Kagome went back to her own drink as well. She was a really dark red and was cooling down. He wasn't staring at her anymore.

"Aren't you going to answer me?" she asked, remembering her question was left unanswered. She also remembered him for the rich snobby jerk he was. She was never scared or nervous when she was talking to one of 'them.'

"As of this moment, life doesn't seem that bad anymore," he replied.

"Why?" she asked, feeling a blush creep onto her face.

Sesshoumaru perked up. He mentally cursed himself for showing so much emotion in just one day. What was wrong with him? That was when InuYasha showed up. Perfect timing, InuYasha. Perfect as always.

"Sesshoumaru! What are you doing here?" InuYasha asked, trying out the new casual act he had.

"Why do you care? Do you think I'm hitting on your ex?" he said, already half drunk.

InuYasha fumed. Kagome blushed. Sesshoumaru drank more.

"What the hell are you talking about, Sesshoumaru? I don't care about her anymore! I don't need a bitch or a whore like her in my life anymore!"

There was a moment of 'oooh' and 'aaahs' and 'disssssss' in the room. Kagome was getting angry, and for some reason, so was Sesshoumaru.

"InuYasha--"

Sesshoumaru cut her off. Not with words, oh no, but there was a big '-thwack-' noise and InuYasha was on the other side of the room just like that. He had punched InuYasha so hard that he went flying.

Sesshoumaru wiped his mouth with the back of his hand (even though he didn't need to) and grabbed his coat.

He was fully drunk as he walked out the door, slamming it in the silence.

Kagome looked at InuYasha and almost smiled. Sesshoumaru actually did something good for once! She decided that she needed to at least thank him or something. So she did the only thing she could think of. She followed him.

Slamming the door as well (it was hard to not slam it for it was a heavy door), she left InuYasha on the ground.

InuYasha wiped the blood off his mouth and gaped in shock at the sight he had seen. Didn't Kagome care about him anymore? Then he started to regret his decision. Maybe Kikyou wasn't the best girl to have after all.

----------

Kagome chased after him. She was now in the men/boys dorms.

"Sesshoumaru!" she shouted.

He stopped and looked back, tense. Why was this girl following him? It took him a moment to figure out it was Kagome. He didn't notice that he relaxed.

"Leave me alone, girl."

Kagome decided to let that one slide.

"Where's your dorm?" she asked him, taking charge of this situation. He was obviously drunk. She grabbed his shoulders when he started to fall.

"4...0...4," he said slowly. He held out the keys, and Kagome grabbed them just before they fell. Sesshoumaru was now completely unconscious. She dragged him to his dorm. It wasn't that far. Just a few floors up. Or so she thought...

----------

After a few minutes of dragging Sesshoumaru to his room, Kagome flopped onto his bed. It was very squishy and she bounced on it a couple of times. This was certainly more relaxing. Sesshoumaru was heavier than he had first seemed. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that he was unconscious? Oh well, she didn't know or care at that moment.

Kagome did know that she wasn't supposed to be in the men/boys dorm, but she could let the rules slide for a day. It wasn't like anything bad was going to happen. She heard a groan from Sesshoumaru so she decided to take care of him before going to explore.

She put him on a chair and started to massage his shoulder and neck. Sesshoumaru groaned and was half awake by the time she started to massage him.

"Stop...don't do that."

Her touch was gentle and soft. He wanted her to keep going but knew something would happen if she didn't stop.

Kagome ignored him and thought it was just drunk speech. What she didn't know was that he was feeling very...not himself at that moment. And when she kept on massaging him...there would be consequences.

"Bitch, stop it now..." he threatened.

He was going to snap. She had to stop. He was afraid he might hurt her. Wait. Afraid? He shook that thought out of his mind and tried to think about what would happen to her if he had actually done something...

Kagome was a little nervous but kept on going. She was confused. He was getting more and more tense the more she massaged him. He grabbed her hand, and she could hear a growl.

"I thought I told you to stop," he growled. She was about to speak when he covered her mouth with his. Kagome was too scared and surprised to do anything. What could she have done? He was stronger than her.

She pushed him off her for a second and asked, "Sesshoumaru! Are you okay?"

He had a look on his face as if he was questioning himself, but then it changed. He looked serious.

"I'm fine," he said, soon kissing her again, this time even harder than before. His tongue was crushing hers, and Kagome was feeling weird. It was like she wanted him to stop, but then didn't. What was going on with him? Or her, for that matter.

He was kissing her neck and taking in her scent. It was driving him crazy. Pretty soon, his mouth found hers again, and he started to kiss her again. Kagome soon found herself kissing him back.

Um, yea, big change in this chapter. No almost-lemon. Sorry about that. That part of the story just always bothered me, so I finally decided to change it. I hope you liked it!
