Chapter 10. To Defend a Broken Heart
Kouga raised a brow at Sesshomaru. His face had an expression of thought placed over it. He suddenly smiled and snapped his fingers.
"I've got it! I thought you looked familiar. Your Sesshomaru Taiyoukai. Rich modern prince is what I've heard. I didn't know you went for the rich types babe." Kouga said earning a few snickers from the people surrounding him.
"Stop calling me that. I hate you." Kagura whispered. Kouga put a hand to his ear.
"What's that? I can't hear you when you talk like a mouse." he said tauntingly. Kagura clutched onto Sesshomaru tighter.
"I said I hate you!" Kagura yelled at the top of her lungs. Kouga looked like he had been blow away. He had taken a step back and had a fake hurt look on his face.
"Wow, I never knew you could do that. Stand up for yourself anyway." he said with a menicing look on his face. The people around him laughed and stopped when he barked at them to.
"Be gone you annoying insect." Sesshomaru said as he walked with Kagura towards the limo. Kouga ran up to him and stepped in his way. He pulled Kagura off of him and pushed her back into the people who had been with him. They made a circle around her and trapped her inside it.
"C'mon pretty boy. No one makes a fool of Kouga and gets away with it. Let's dance." Kouga said as he threw a punch at Sesshomaru, hitting him in the face. Kouga's jaw fell open as he jumped back a bit.
Sesshomaru acted as if he hadn't even been hit at all. Not a scratch, trail of blood, or bruise could be seen. Sesshomaru tilted his head to both sides, alowing his neck to crack.
"I wouldn't want to get my suit covered in blood." he mummbled as he took off his suit jacket and pulled off the black shirt under that. He tossed them to the ground and stood tall, waiting for Kouga to start.
Kagura was surprised. Sesshomaru looked amazingly fit. Her cheeks went slightly red as she caught what she was thinking about. A few of the girls around Kagura were making loud remarks and giggling about him.
Kouga ran at Sesshomaru again. This time with a fake punch and a kick. Sesshomaru was well trained in fighting and instantly saw what Kouga was planning. He sidestepped as Kouga was about to kick him, making Kouga fall flat on his back. Sesshomaru kicked him in the side making him roll over a few times.
"C'mon Kouga!" the people around Kagura began to yell.
Blood rolled down the corner of Kouga's mouth as he turned over onto his hands and knees. He spat a small amount of blood out then looked up at Sesshomaru. A menacing look spread over his face quickly. One that made him look ready to kill.
Kouga quickly recoiled himself and go ready for another round. He charged at him, ready for a fist fight. Sesshomaru was fast and ducked down then brought his elbow up into Kouga's gut, knocking the wind out of him.
Kouga stumbled back a bit while holding his stomach. Sesshomaru took a few steps forward and managed to lay in about 10 good punches before Kouga hit the ground unconcious. The group left Kagura and picked up Kouga, then ran away.
"You alright?" Kagura asked lightly as she picked up his shirt and jacket. He nodded.
"Yes, and you. Did any of them hurt you?" he asked. She shook her head and gave him a soft smile.
"Thanks. That was really nice of you. To defend me like that anyways. No one has ever done that before." Kagura said while looking down as a blush came over her face. She held out Sesshomaru's things. "Here." she said.
She felt Sesshomaru lift them out of her hands. She still didn't look at him. She couldn't. Something kept her from looking at him in the eyes.
She gave a small squeak when he put his hands on her shoulders. She looked up at him. His eyes looked strangely warm. Something you wouldn't normaly see in him.
"Come, let's go before they come back." Sesshomaru said. Kagura nodded and got into the car as Sesshomaru finished putting the things away. Once he got in he was flooded with questions and praise from Zinan and Kurai.
"Wow! The soo cool! How long did it take you to learn all that? Could you teach me? Do you study an ancient form of fighting or something?" Zinan exclaimed.
"That was amazing! Absolutely astounding! You have to teach me how to move that fast! I could barely see you when you moved, it was so wonderful!" Kurai praised.
Sesshomaru looked like he had fallen asleep after all their questions. Kagura was sitting next to him this time. His sleeping form leaned over, towards Kagura. Kagura gave a small blush when she realized that her head was resting on his shoulder and his head was resting against hers.
Kagura closed her eyes and smiled as she let herself relax. She felt her cheeks go slightly red.
"I've never her do that before. You think she's sick or something?" She heard Zinan's voice say. Kurai nodded as they both leaned closer. Kagura frowned and balled her hand into a fist. She hit them both on the head once, trying not to move so he wouldn't wake.
Zinan and Kurai were silent the rest of the way. Kagura just tried to keep her gaze away from Sesshomaru, but had little luck with that.
She sighed as she gave in and just sat there resting against him, looking at his sleeping face.
'He's so sweet to you.'
'Yeah, he is.'
'No one has ever done what he did. He stood up for you and protected you when you needed to be.'
'Yes. Maybe, he could brake my luck cycle.'
'Then again, he may not. He might turn out just like the rest of them.'
'You could be right.'
'See, I am most of the time.'
'Just not this time.'
