DENIED LOVE.
Kagome stormed away. How could InuYasha do that to her? Rain mixed with tears and sweat as she walked back into the Great Hall. People did not notice her. She had put an invisibility spell on herself. She was caught up in a web of thoughts as she sat at the Staff table. How could you InuYasha? Am I just not enough? What happened to your promise to protect me?
"It seems you have not touched your food." A voice said from beside her. Kagome jumped slightly in her seat and turned. She looked into amber eyes.
They were so much like InuYasha's.
Yet so different in a strange way.
"I-I guess I'm not hungry." Kagome said, startled. Why would Sesshoumaru want to still talk to her after what she did to him? She looked away and Sesshoumaru watched with eyes of mixed amusement and pity.
Finally the feast ended and the two new professors were given a short tour and then they were given rooms.
"It's behind this portrait." Dumbledore said, indicating to a portrait of an ethereal fairy. She was tall with pale skin and long fair tresses. Kagome gazed at her with awe. The portrait waved at Kagome and Kagome dazedly waved back.
"The password is Azabel's Light." Dumbledore continued and as he spoke, the door swung open, revealing one door.
"This door shall lead you to your rooms." Dumbledore said, emphasizing the room part but the s part. Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru. He did not seem fazed by Dumbledore's strange sentence.
"Go on." He said gruffly. Kagome nodded and stepped in. She turned the doorknob and walked in. It was a huge room. Bright sky blue and cheery with plenty of high windows, gave it an innocent bright appearance. There were two beds. How odd. A desk was at the corner and candles illuminated the place. She then noticed something.
There wasn't another room!
Kagome looked around, hoping for another door besides the one she had come through. No such luck. Kagome felt Sesshoumaru's presence behind her.
That meant she would be sleeping in the same room as him! Kagome blushed furiously at that thought.
"I'll sleep in that bed." Sesshoumaru said, pointing to a green king- sized bed. Kagome nodded, not trusting herself to speak. 'Where's the bathroom?' She asked herself. She walked out and went in front of the portrait.
"Is there a bathroom around?" Kagome asked politely. The fairy smiled.
"One right next to my portrait." She said in a voice that sounded melodic and cheery.
"Thank you!" Kagome gave her a bright smile. She walked in and found a pair of pajamas lying on the floor.
How convenient.
Kagome changed and got ready for bed. She was completely wiped out. Suddenly, she remembered something. What was Sesshoumaru doing here? Slapping her forehead for not noticing that strange detail she checked her memory for any clue on how he got there. Dumbledore's speech floated into her head. 'However, due to the other new professor I will soon announce, Professor Sesshoumaru was able to come to the future, warning us about a new threat and the possibility that demons still roam the earth again.'
Could Sesshoumaru have gone through the well? And if he did, for what cause?
Kagome shrugged. Not my biz. She walked out again, bumping into something.
Or rather, someone.
"Ah, and what are you doing, strolling around at dark like this?" Draco Malfoy said. Kagome's expression hardened. She REALLY was starting to hate this guy. What was it with that practically white hair? And did he always have that oily voice?
"I'm getting ready for bed." She told him frostily. She wished he would go away! She couldn't go back in with Malfoy standing there.
"Want to come to my common rooms?" He offered.
"I bet the old bat forgot to give you a room."
SMACK!
It was the second time Kagome had slapped someone. She was getting good at it! She saw a trickle of blood come out of his mouth.
"I happen to respect the Headmaster greatly, you pale git!" She shouted.
Just then, Ron Weasley rounded the corner. He saw Malfoy and Kagome standing there and grinned. He just had a great idea.
He hurried over to Kagome. 'Turn him into a ferret', Ron whispered. Kagome was puzzled by the strange request but took out her wand and did so. There was a small pop and Malfoy disappeared. Ron and Kagome looked down simultaneously and starting laughing in hysterics. A small white ferret lay there. It squealed and tried to run away. Kagome, still doubled over from laughing, muttered a stunning spell.
"What's going on?" A shrewd voice silenced everything. Kagome turned. It was Sesshoumaru, his eyes glinting in annoyance. He looked at the ferret and then at Kagome.
"You did this?" He asked. Kagome nodded mutely? What would he do? Ron seemed scared out of his wits. Who wouldn't be? I mean, he's a pretty chick at first sight but if he hears you saying that, well, I pity you.
Sesshoumaru, grumbling, took out his wand and with a small pop, Draco Malfoy reappeared, hair disheveled and face flushed pink. He stormed off and Kagome chuckled.
"Hurry up." Sesshoumaru barked at Kagome. Kagome did so, seething inwardly. Who did he think he was?
"G'night Ron." Kagome said. Ron nodded and turned, walking down the corridor.
"Who do you think you are?" Kagome practically shrieked as soon as Ron was out of hearing distance.
"Ruining our fun like that! Honestly!" Kagome said, shaking her head and climbing into her bed. The candles were turned off and Kagome snuggled under the covers. So warm.
The next morning, sunlight filtered into the room like yellow ink. Kagome groaned and snuggled deeper under the covers.
"Not a morning person?" Came a monotone voice. Kagome responded with another yawn.
"Our teaching starts in 10 minutes." Sesshoumaru drawled. Kagome's eyes widened and she jumped up from her bed.
"OH MY GAWD!" She shrieked, looking at the clock. Sesshoumaru watched her race around, gathering her things with a mixture of boredom tinged with amusement.
Kagome raced around the room hurriedly. She felt so stupid. How could she sleep in on a day like this? She raced outside to go to the bathroom and swiftly rushed back into her room. She grabbed her bag, made sure there was no lint on her robes and walked out. She grabbed a roll of parchment and peered at it. She twisted and turned at corners and hallways, making her way to the Great Hall.
There, she gasped in delight. The Great Hall was beautiful! The ceiling was charmed to show the weather outside and bright sunlight gleamed upon everyone.
Last nights events forgotten, she walked dazedly to the staff table where she was greeted by several professors. She greeted them back and looked at what was for breakfast. Remembering the time, she took only two sausages and pumpkin juice. She sniffed a bit sadly.
Even though it was breakfast, she was disappointed that there wasn't oden. Oh well. She wolfed down her meager portion of breakfast and took out the roll of parchment again. Kagome was to check students for priest or priestess abilities at the classroom from the far left of the Transfiguration classroom.
Kagome walked into the dark classroom. She was a bit disappointed by it and decided it needed some decoration.
She took out her wand and the gray dank walls were scrubbed clean. A flick of her hand and the dirty windows were shiny and gleaming. She grinned and with another wave of her wand, the dust disappeared.
It was definitely an improvement. But it needed something more.
Kagome closed her eyes, thinking of something that might be of good use to her.
She then remembered her little brother, Souta, sometimes watched this show called Pocket Monsters or Pokemon. She had thought the show pointless and immature but she loved the Jigglypuffs.
That was it!
She picked several strands of hair (AN: Well she needs something to transfigure..) and held them in front of her. She closed her eyes. With yet another flick of her hand, the strands of hair became stuffed Jigglypuffs.
Kagome squealed with delight and arranged them in a special order along the windows.
"As amusing I find your childish antics," A cold voice said from behind her.
"I refuse to work in a classroom filled with pink vermin."
Kagome knew exactly who the speaker was. She turned indignantly.
"I happen to like them!" She told him loftily.
"Why aren't the students coming in?" She wondered curiously. As if on cue, about 50 children strolled in all at once. They all tried to get seats in the front.
Kagome was then struck with nervousness. She had never taught before except when she occasionally helped her little brother with a math problem or two.
The students were rowdy. She was checking the Hufflepuffs first. Kagome nodded to Sesshoumaru.
"Shut up!" He bellowed. The classroom fell silent and Kagome groaned inwardly. (AN: That part was VERY out of character. Sry, but right now, I'm tired hungry and I just want to please you guys so please excuse that stupid sentence.)
'What an idiot!!' Kagome thought. What if Dumbledore thought Sesshoumaru wasn't trained well enough and he would get fired?
Wait a second, Kagome didn't care.
"Thank you." She told him frostily.
"Hello class. I'm to test you to see if any of you have priest or priestess abilities so please stay silent and do not move around too much! This won't hurt, I promise." She assured one boy who was losing his coloring by the second.
Kagome raised her hands and closed her eyes (AN: I'm making this all up so bear with me). A blue and white ball appeared in her hands and with hyperness no one could imagine, it bounced wildly around the room, touching certain people. Soon, it dissipated and Kagome sighed. That took a lot of energy. And time.
"Everyone who was touched by the ball, please stand up and stand next to me." She said. 13 people stood. 10 girls 3 boys. Interesting.
She excused the rest of the class and double-examined the 13 people. (AN: Unlucky number, hehehe!). Only 1 was pinpointed as a true priestess and Kagome spent the rest of the period teaching the girl pointless tricks until the girl had a talk with Dumbledore. Sesshoumaru would occasionally input something like 'You're looking at a demon right now,' and such but mostly he just stood around, with that bored look on his face.
By the time they were finished, Kagome was fuming. He had done practically nothing!
"What kind of professor are you?" Kagome yelled at him and stomped away, Sesshoumaru looking at her retreating back with that same amused/bored look on his face.
Kagome wanted to wring his neck. The nerve to just stand there and act as if she were an annoying 67-year-old teacher! Arghhhh!
She stomped back into her room, glad that she had no more classes to teach. She was grateful at her mother at that moment. If her mother hadn't taught her witchcraft a LLOOONNNGGG time ago when she was about four, she would also have to have lessons with the students. She had never ever told anyone about her magical powers and she thought about the days when she was an outsider. The freak who made weird things happen.
~Flashback~
"Hey guys, look!" A burly boy with curly brown hair sneered. He shoved a mini Kagome to the ground and Kagome blinked back tears. The boy's friends crowded around her.
"Look at what we have here! The freak! The loser with no life!" Another boy said, kicking her, not hard but none too light either. Kagome lost it and started sobbing. The boys shouted and insulted her some more and Kagome felt something inside her snap. The boy with the curly brown hair screamed and all attention was directed to him in an instant. Kagome forgot her momentary sorrow and started laughing the boy, instead of having a mouth and a nose, had a pink pig's snout.
Then Kagome knew she had to change it back. She spent the rest of the afternoon trying to get away from the bullies.
~End Flashback (This happened in third grade)~
Kagome smiled at the memory but then chided herself, remembering how much paperwork her mother had to go through for months because of the incident.
The miko/witch decided to walk around Hogwart's and watched the giant squid in the small body of water. She threw small pieces of bread. Then, remembering the headmaster had said something about '.and stay away from the whomping willow.'. Naturally, curiosity got the better of her and she searched for it. It wasn't too hard to find. It was gnarled and big with strange pieces of metal splintered in it. Looked like the remains of a car.
Then, she saw a battered figure near the Whomping Willow. Due to her kind heart, she hurried over to the hurt person.
When she was close enough to see the person, her eyes narrowed and her mouth became a small line. What was InuYasha doing here still? She saw the Tetsusaiga in his hand and snorted. He had obviously tried to fight the Whomping Willow and looking at a severed branch nearby and then at the hanyou who looked 3 inches away from death, the savage tree had won.
InuYasha groaned and Kagome copied him. She REALLY didn't want to have to take care of him.
'But he did save you all those times.' Her good side reminded Kagome.
'Yeah. Just so he could hurt me himself.' She argued back.
'Least you're not dead.' Her good side retorted. Kagome sighed in frustration. She fumbled in her robes for her wand and she flicked it carelessly.
"Wingardium Leviosa." And InuYasha was floating as Kagome walked. She turned corners and walked corriders, ignoring the strange looks she was getting from passerby. She walked into the room she shared with Sesshoumaru and she plopped InuYasha on the bed.
Sesshoumaru, who was reading on his bed, wrinkled his nose in distaste for the hanyou.
"What is he doing here?" Sesshoumaru asked, disdain crossing his womanly (AN: sorry, couldn't help it ^_^) features.
"Believe me, I don't want him here anymore than you do." She said firmly. She cast a simple healing spell. InuYasha wouldn't wake up for another day at the most.
AN: How is this? It's sort of like a filler chapter. But beware, I won't be able to update for a long time. I'M GOING TO NYC!!!!!!!!!! ^________^
DENIED LOVE.
Kagome stormed away. How could InuYasha do that to her? Rain mixed with tears and sweat as she walked back into the Great Hall. People did not notice her.
