Chapter 5
A cliché
Have you ever heard the saying 'The first kiss will tell you all you need to know about a relationship'? I have, but I never believed it until today, when I kissed Sesshomaru. This kiss made me feel like I was REALLY in love, instead of pretending. If Sesshomaru felt anything, he hid it well. I, on the other hand, wore my astonishment openly. I stared at the floor for the rest of lunch and when the bell rang, I practically ran from the lunchroom. I went to my locker and opened it. I pulled out my books, but paused for a moment to bash my confused head against the door. "GRR! Pull it together Kagome!" I muttered to myself. I slammed the locker door and ran to my next class. I put my head on the wooden desk and shut my eyes. "MISS HIGURASHI! THIS IS NOT NAPTIME! PLEASE PAT ATTENTION!" my teacher snapped. I pulled my head up and propped it on my elbows.
I was supposed to get a ride home with Sesshomaru, but I felt awkward being around him now. I hid in the library until I was sure he wouldn't be here. I walked outside. It was now pouring. "SHIT!" I exclaimed. A car roared past, spraying me with muddy water. I stood there, covered in the brown muck. I blinked and wiped the stuff away from my face. I strode away from the school, as angry as I had been when I discovered Inuyasha and Kikyo. Kikyo and my father. Kikyo and all the others. I stormed to my apartment building. I tore off my shoes and socks and trudged up the stairs barefoot. I opened my apartment door and slammed it behind me. I walked down the hall, pulling off wet clothes as I went. I was down to my underwear when I got to my room. I opened the door. Sesshomaru was sitting on my bed. CRASH! I fainted. When I came around, Sango was standing over me. A blanket covered me. Sesshomaru was in the living room. I got up and went into the bathroom. I took a shower and slid on my white terry cloth bathrobe. I went into the living room and sat down next to Sesshomaru. He slid his glance away from the television to me. I blushed. "Hey, don't worry about it, Kagome. You didn't know I was here." He said. I nodded. "Now, do you want to go to the movies with me tonight? Inuyasha is supposed to be there." "Alright." I nodded.
I got dressed and Sesshomaru helped me with my jacket. We left the apartment. "You never did tell me why you and Inuyasha broke up." Sesshomaru said. I coughed. "Umm…I don't really want to talk about this right now." I said quietly. Sesshomaru shrugged. "You'll have to tell me sooner or later." He said. We got to the movies and Sesshomaru and I put on our act again. We hung out until the movie was about to start. Sesshomaru and I sat in the back. We pretended to be necking and sort of making out. Inuyasha walked into the Movie Theater. Thank god he was with Myoga, his only friend instead of Kikyo. Inuyasha stomped right up to me and grabbed my hair and before Sesshomaru could do anything, Inuyasha had a knife's cold blade pressed against my neck. I shrieked.
