Chapter Three

"Sango? Sango are you even listening to me?" Kagome whined. Obviously, she wasn't. Ever since Inuyasha had stepped into Herb and Medicine that morning, he was all she could think about. Just the sight of him brought back so many memories. Happiness, love, hurt, betrayal, all these emotions just kept swirling in her head. The same question kept coming to mind.

Why did he do it?

Ever since Sango was 6 she knew she liked him as more than "just friends." She was crazy about him. But she knew that he could never feel the same, and she felt she couldn't tell him out of fear of rejection, fear of losing his friendship.

When he stopped writing, stopped calling, she figured he didn't want anything to do with her. Maybe he had found a girlfriend or something and just didn't her time for her anymore. Whatever the reason, he had hurt her.

That was when she'd met Kagome and Kikyou. In the beginning of their freshman year they had become fast friends, almost like sisters. She had healed, somewhat. Over the past year, she had learned to put those feelings of hurt to the back of her mind. Actually seeing him… well, it brought back all those emotions, to many, and she wasn't sure if she could deal with them. After all the pain she felt, the abandon, how could she forgive him? How could they once again have that close friendship they had shared? She wasn't sure if they could. But she had to know, Why did he do it? That was the reason behind their rendezvous. It would all be worked out tonight.

When she walked into the dinning room, two things happened at once. The first was that her name was called out by Ayame, which drew everyone else's attention to her, and the second was that her eyes snapped to the far end of the table that her friends were sitting at, connecting with the piercing gold gaze that haunted her dreams.

Sesshoumaru…

"Kagome!" Hearing her name once again called, she focused, and headed towards the voice of Ayame, to take a seat for lunch.

The usual greetings passed around, which consisted of Miroku, who sat at her right, grabbing Sango, who in return slapped him. On Kagome's left was Rin, followed by Kagura and Kanna. Kagura was talking across the table to Souta, while Kanna demurely spoke to Kohaku. Across from Kagome sat Kikyou who was watching as Shippou heated his meat with his fox fire. Last, next to Shippou, sat Kouga and Ayame. Kouga had zoned out while Ayame chatted to him about anything and everything that came to mind.

Sighing, Kagome glanced around the room, trying desperately to keep her eyes from wandering to where Sesshoumaru sat.

After Herbs and Medicine this morning she was hoping to push him out of her mind, but when she went to her next class, Miko history, she couldn't stop thinking about him. She wasn't even sure what the sensei had been talking about that morning. Classes had only started four hours ago, and already, she wished that she could go back to the week before, where she, Kikyou, and Souta had been home with their loving family.

Eventually Kagome, lost in her thoughts, turned her head towards Sesshoumaru, a dreamy, glazed look in her eyes. It wasn't until he actually turned and looked back at her that she realized what she was doing. Startled, she blushed and turned her head back in the direction of Kikyou, but she couldn't keep herself from looking out the corner of her eyes at him. He smirked at her, and she blushed a deep crimson.

She saw him stand, and walk towards her.

Oh no!!! He's coming over here! No! No! Turn back around go back the other way!....

At the last moment, he turned and headed out the door. At the realization that he wasn't actually coming towards her, she felt slightly disappointed.

Disappointed?!?! Why should I feel disappointed? I don't even know him. It's not like I'm attracted to him or anything…but why do I feel so hurt that he didn't come over?

Sesshoumaru slipped out the door.

I wonder where he's going…

Now it must be understood that Kagome was a naturally curious person. And something about this Sesshoumaru person just intrigued her. In fact, when he passed out the door, she could have sworn she felt a slight pull at her, but she immediately dismissed it. So, after about 10 seconds of deliberation, she quickly excused herself the table and hurried out the door in a full run.

Once outside the doors, she let her senses guide her. Taking a deep breath and closing her eyes, she concentrated, and searched for his aura. She'd recognize it anywhere. Not only had she been able to feel it in her dream, but in Herbs and Medicine that morning she had studied it, so that she would always know what it felt like. Her senses picked up on him almost immediately. He was upstairs on the 6th level. She was on the fifth. She figured he used that youkai speed to get up there so quickly.

It only took her about 5 minutes to get on that level. Once again she let her senses go and found that he was in the student lobby. She made her way in that direction.

Good choice; Great place for privacy at this time of day. I wonder what he's doing.

The student lobby was one of her favorite places to go. There were several couches in there, all of them arranged so that they formed a type of semi circle around the fire place. The fire was usually roaring with warmth by this time of day. Tables and chairs were also there to accommodate those who chose to get the coffee or cookie that were usually on sale at the snack counter. At meal times the counter was closed. The carpet was a dark green color with a soft texture. The walls were painted a light cream. The large windows, (which included window seats) adorned dark green curtains to match the carpet. The room just gave her a warm homey feeling.

Opening the doors just a little she took a peak inside. It was strange. She knew that she had sensed him in this room, but when she looked inside, she saw no one. She walked inside and sat down on one of the couches.

"Do you usually follow demons around campus?" whispered a deep voice. The voice was right in her ear.

Whirling around to face him she found herself face to face with Sesshoumaru. Startled she let her miko energy flare out towards him. Within the blink of an eyes Sesshoumaru had leaped onto the couch next to her.

Regaining her breath, she once again turned to face him. But when she looked in his eyes she saw a tint of red.

"Your power calls to my blood." He growled this, showing his fangs. Surprisingly, she felt no fear at his sudden gruffness.

Suddenly Kagome felt his arm snake around her waist, pulling her towards him. To her it seemed as if it was all happening in slow motion. She saw his eyes begin to close. She felt his warm breath on her lips. Then slowly her eyes began to lower. She could feel his body heat, radiating heat into her. Her arms wrapped themselves around his neck, tangling in his silver hair. Then finally, their lips met in a sweet kiss.

Hey, I want to thank all of ya'll who've reviewed so far. Thanks. I'm sick right now and I feel like I'm dying, which is why this chapter came out a little later than expected. I think the next one will be out by next Sunday afternoon. Talk then!
