The best years of our lives

Chapter 7: Nothing will stop me from wanting you

His eyes turned red and growled louder. The side of the doorway that he was holding on to started to bend and crack. "That son of a b!tch." Sesshomaru snarled.

The teacher noticed Sesshomaru and addressed him. "Excuse me. Can I help you sir?"

"Um…don't worry about me. I'm just here to observe the class." Sesshomaru responded smoothly, letting go of the door frame.

"So you must be Mr. Uskai who's supposed to come and observe. I wasn't expecting you so soon since the principle said that it would be a couple more weeks. Oh well. Continue as you were." The teacher bowed, unobservant.

Sesshomaru smirked and walked to the back of the room. Some of the students stared until he sat down, but the others focused their attention to the front of the class where the teacher was. Kagome and Sango looked back and looked at Sesshomaru awkwardly.

"Why is he still here?" Kagome leaned over to Sango.

"I have no clue; hopefully he'll knock some sense into InuYasha. Whatever he said to Miroku must've been pretty intense." Sango commented while opening her notebook.

"How do you know Sesshomaru told Miroku something or anything?"

Sango would've made a smartass comment but she knew this time Kagome wasn't paying much attention to anything back in the courtyard. "Sesshomaru whispered something to Miroku, which I don't know, and the expression on Miroku's face looked grim."

Kagome sighed and focused on the teacher who was currently talking about "the wonders of numbers".

Sesshomaru on the other hand watched the four like a hawk would its prey; mostly focusing on InuYasha. He was oblivious to Kagome being in the same room and basically ignored Miroku who kept try to make small talk every so often. Sesshomaru then concentrated his gaze on his brother for the rest of the time. He didn't like to see anyone, especially women, be hurt by any man.

Once the class ended all of the students flew out of the room, since the class could make you loose your sanity. Kagome, Sango, and Miroku on the other hand walked out slowly together while InuYasha just avoided them all together. Sesshomaru still lurked around in the back.

"Mr. Uskai! What did you think of the class? Wasn't it great!" The teacher unexpectedly came up to Sesshomaru.

"Yes, it was great." Sesshomaru quickly shot back at the teacher and followed Kagome, Sango and Miroku.

…Kagome was about to open her locker door when she felt a chill run up her spine. It was as if someone was watching her or breathing down her back.

"You ok Kagome? You look like you've seen a ghost." Sango asked who was standing next to her.

Without replying, Kagome quickly turned around to see Sesshomaru casually standing there. His look was almost expressionless.

"So there's your 'ghost'" Sango joked.

Kagome stared at Sesshomaru. His eyes became softer as she gazed at them. "No…I don't think it was him. I know it's not him. It felt much different than Sesshomaru doing anything."

Sango raised an eyebrow. "This is the twentieth time this happened, Kag. Maybe you have a stalker."

Kagome's face grew pale. "I hope not."

"If you do, I won't let anything happen to you." Sesshomaru reassured, placing his hand on Kagome's shoulder.

Kagome's heart jumped out of her chest. Her eyes began to water at the thought of some guy actually caring about her. "Thank you. I appreciate it."

The rest of the day dragged on. The last two classes that the crew had were boring as ever and Sesshomaru seemed to have disappeared to nowhere. InuYasha still ignored Miroku and the girls as Rin reattached herself to InuYasha's side.

…Lying on her bed, Kagome sulked and almost began to cry. She didn't know why this was happening. What did she do to deserve this? Through her tear filled eyes, Kagome looked out of her window and realized that it was already dark.

"Crap…I still need to do my homework." Kagome said while raising herself off of her bed.

"Kagome dear!" Her mother said through the closed door.

"What mom?"

"There's someone here for you downstairs."

Kagome's eyes grew wide. Who could it be? Maybe Sango. No. Sango was going with Miroku somewhere tonight. InuYasha didn't want to be near her and it was too early for Rin to kill Kagome. Without knowing who was awaiting her, Kagome left her room and walked down the stairs to the hallway where her guest was waiting. Out of all people; it was Sesshomaru.

Kagome looked at the clock, which read 8:35. "Seems pretty late for someone to drop on by like this."

"I am terribly sorry for coming by this late." Sesshomaru bowed. "But I have some important matters to discuss with you."

Kagome melted at his words. Sesshomaru was unlike InuYasha in so many ways. He's polite, caring, and protective! "What's so important that you have to come late at night, especially on a school night?"

"Since I am InuYasha's brother, I, unfortunately, know how his mind works, to an extent. I was hoping that we can work through this and bring you and InuYasha back together."

Kagome's eyes grew wide. "Are you serious? You can get InuYasha away from Rin so that he'll start to like me again?" Kagome started to think twice. "Wait…he's been such a jerk to me, why should I go back to him? I know he doesn't like me or have feelings for me anymore! I don't want to deal with this any longer!" Kagome started to run up the steps.

"Don't you want to hear the rest of what I have to say?"

Sesshomaru's words stopped Kagome in her tracks. "There's nothing more to say." She glared.

"I know you love him."

"I do not!"

"Yes you do."

"If I do love him, how can you tell? I never told you anything of that sort."

"I can tell…quite easily. Your aura tells it all. And InuYasha loves you just as much." Sesshomaru winked.

Kagome's heart skipped a beat. "You lie."

"I tell only the truth. It's InuYasha himself who chose to mask his feelings. So do you want to know what to do or not?"

Kagome had no choice but to listen. She walked back down the steps and stopped right in front of Sesshomaru. "Tell me."

"Ok, here's what you do…"

…Kagome entered the school building and met up with Sango and Miroku in the usual spot, near the drinking fountain. Miroku was trying to frisk Sango but before he could do anything she hit him over the head with her book bag.

"Heya guys! What's up?" Kagome said while walking up to the two.

"Hey kag! What's with the get up? You never dress up for school." Sango commented.

"You look hot!" Miroku said then got elbowed by Sango.

Kagome blushed. She was wearing a short, black, ruffled skirt and a light pink, off-the-shoulder blouse that had a rhinestone flower pin on it. Her hair was also up with ringlets hanging down and wore black, strapped, high-heeled shoes.

"Sesshomaru came over last night and said that he devised a plan that would get rid of Rin so InuYasha would fall for me instead." Kagome informed a bit sheepishly.

"So what is the plan exactly?" Sango asked, now very interested on what was going on.

"That sounds kind of fishy…Sesshomaru coming over. How late was it?" Miroku questioned.

"Sometime between 8:30 and 9." Kagome replyed, feeling uncomfortable in her outfit.

"Ok…something's going on…"

Sango smacked Miroku's head. "Don't mind him. So what is the plan? Kagome? KAGOME!"

Kagome wasn't paying attention. The plan was about to begin and her heart started to race. "Huh? What? I'm sorry, what'd you say?" Kagome snapped back into reality for a moment. She left again when she saw InuYasha coming closer. It was getting close. Suddenly, Kagome started to panic inside herself. Something was going terribly wrong.
