Kagome's Protector
By; Tycoon Girl
Chapter Four; The playboy
Kagome followed the directions that Inuyasha gave her and much to her dismay, arrived at a very popular nightclub. She swore softly and somehow managed to sneak in. Her eyes searched desperately for Inuyasha's bright silver hair that would show her where he was and that he was alright. She moved through the crowds of people and declined the men asking her to dance. Kagome felt her heart breaking. Where was Inuyasha? Was he alright? Why had he called her here? Who was he in trouble with? What the hell was going on?
She was making her way to the back of the club when she felt two bouncers grab her. "Kid, you are way to young to be in here. Go home to your parents." they said, throwing her into the alley behind the club. She hit the chain link fence and a twinge of pain shot through her torso. The door clicked shut and she pulled herself up. Kagome's eyes welled with tears and she started towards Sango's. She would know what to do. Sango always was smarter when it came to things like this.
Kagome knocked on the brown door with the last of her strength. She was panting and sweating badly. The door swung open to reveal Sango. "Kagome? What are you doing here?" she asked, surprised. Kagome looked up at her friend. "It's Inuyasha. He called me. He's in some sort of trouble...I had to run here from Sesshomaru's after escaping the gaurd dogs and climbing the fence. I got chucked from the club before I found him. I...I...I'm scared...I don't know what to do." she said, clutching the door, her tears streaming down her pale cheeks.
Sango swore and pulled on her shoes and took Kagome's bag and tossed it into the house. "I swear I'm going to kill that bastard. Don't worry Kagome, he's not really in any trouble. He always does this when he's drunk off his ass." Sango said, helping Kagome to walk towards the club once more.
They got in again and Sango led Kagome to the bar where Inuyasha was indeed sitting, his head on the counter. Sango's eye twitched and she hit him on the head. He jumped and rubbed his head. "What the hell was that for?" he demanded. "You ass hole! Why did you call Kagome and lie to her when she's not been feeling well! Do you know that she had to run here? Inuyasha, you are such a moron when you're drunk. Come on, it's time for you to go home." Sango said, pulling him up and dragging him out of the bar.
Kagome did not speak to Inuyasha. She merely wrapped her arms around her body and looked away from him and his outlandish drunken movements. They arrived at an apartment building and Sango and Kagome both dragged Inuyasha to his place, then walked out, leaving him alone.
Once they were on the street, Sango cleared her throat. "Kagome, are you alright?" she asked softly. Kagome blinked back tears. "I really...really...thought he was in trouble..." she sobbed. Sango pat her friend on the back. "I should've warned you about Inuyasha. He's a natorious playboy and often does this type of thing. Perhaps it would be best if you and Inuyasha just remained good friends." she suggested softly to her sobbing friend.
Kagome woke in the morning on the floor of Sango's room. She rubbed her eyes and sat up. Sango woke also. "Morning." she mumbled. Kagome grunted in response and they both got ready for school. They left, walking fast. "So are you going to break up with Inuyasha today?" she asked. Kagome shrugged. "I don't know. I mean I really like him..." she said.
They arrived at school to see a black lambo idling in the parking lot. "Oh shit, I am in so much trouble." Kagome said. Sango frowned and they quickly entered the school, going to their lockers. Kagome was pulling out her notebook for Physics when she felt a cold presence behind her. 'Maybe if I ignore Sesshomaru he'll go away.' she thought. "Kagome." 'Too late. Damn, shit, fuck, crap!"
She turned around. "Uh, hiya Sessy. What's up?" she stuttered. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes. "Don't hiya me, you are in big trouble young lady." he said, grabbing her arm and leading her away with the majority of the students staring at her. Kagome pulled her arm away. "Come on, can't we talk about this after school? You're embarrsing me." she said.
Sesshomaru growled and picked Kagome up, slinging her over his shoulder. She blushed bright red and hit her head on her purple binder. "Crap, crap, crap." she repeated over and over as he carried her all the way to the office. He set her down and held onto the back of her shirt. "I'm going to be taking Kagome Higurashi out of school today." he said to the receptionist in a cold tone, nevertheless it still made her swoon. That was happening to a lot of the females at the school. Kagome hit her head on her binder again as they left when the receptionist fainted.
Sesshomaru shoved Kagome into the black lambo and got in, then locked the doors. "You are in so much trouble." he said, starting on the long drive home. "Whatever." she scowled. "Kagome, do you have any idea how worried I was?" he demanded, glancing over at the petulant teenager that he had cared for the majority of her life. "No, because you haven't told me how much you were worried. Dork." she mumbled the last bit, but he still heard it. "Well I was worried. Why in the hell did you runaway like that?" he demanded. Kagome glared out the window and mumbled something that he couldn't understand.
He growled in annoyance. "What was that?" he demanded. "Because I don't like being trapped in that damn room all the time for crap that normal teenagers do all the time. Seriously, you treat me like an inmate istead of a teenaged girl." she said, running her hands through her hair. Sesshomaru looked over at her and saw her long legs crossed over each other, revealing a lot of skin seeing that her skirt was so short. His pulse quickened and he cleared his throat, telling himself to calm down. 'I do not like Kagome in that way. I do not like Kagome in that way. I do not like Kagome in that way. I do not like Kagome in that way. I do not like- Oh who am I kidding? Of course I do! Damn it to hell!' he thought angrily.
They arrived at the mansion and Sesshomaru turned off the car. Kagome climbed out and shut the door. She crossed her arms, frowning. Sesshomaru stood before her, glaring down at her. She looked up at him and noticed that he had something long past a five o'clock shadow, bags under his golden blood-shot eyes, a gaunt appearance...he wore a plain white t-shirt and jeans and sneakers. He really did look like he'd been through hell looking for Kagome. "Kagome, where did you go last night?" he demanded.
She looked away from him and sighed. "I just went over to Sango's house." she muttered. Sesshomaru watched his charge as something indescriblable crossed her features...it was a mix between pain, love, and anguish...and so much more. "I don't believe you. I think you went over to Inuyasha's." he said. Kagome's eyes turned sad. "No..." she said softly, turning and walking into the house.
Sesshomaru followed after Kagome and wrapped her in a hug from behind. "Kagome, tell me what's bothering you. What did my brother do to you?" he demanded. As soon as he spoke those words he knew that he had struck a painful bit in her night. Kagome turned to face him and melted into his arms, sobbing. She explained what had happened to Sesshomaru, whom listened impassivly. When she was finished Sesshomaru brushed her tears away. "Kagome, I didn't want to tell you about Inuyasha's faults seeing that you liked him so much...but there is one other thing you should know about him..."
"What is it?" Kagome demanded firmly. "That dog you resuced...was him. He takes that form every month when there is no moon in the sky because of his half-demon status." Sesshomaru sighed. Kagome started crying again and curled closer to Sesshomaru. He was so warm, and he smelled good...Kagome rested her head on his shoulder and looked up at him. He was staring down at her with a bunch of intesity and love. Kagome blushed and moved to go sit somewhere else, but Sesshomaru held onto her. He leaned forward and his lips captured hers in a passionate kiss.
