Part Two

In the View of Sesshomaru-

I had no idea how I was going to concentrate on teaching today. After school, the girl I have lusted over for many a fortnight will be here in the classroom with me…and me only. I knew I should be excited, but instead I was only confused and utterly terrified. What if, in the heat of the moment, I say something? What if I spit out how much I want her, need her? What will she do then?

I walked into the school slowly, my eyes on the floor, my mind deep in thought.

She was doing fine in English, why did she need extra help? She had looked at me so pleadingly yesterday, as if begging to stay after school with her old English teacher who was sick and perverted.

But this was a good thing, I realized. If she wishes to stay after with me, then she does not know that I am a sick pervert who is lusting after a student!

I walked into my classroom and settled in.

In the View of Kagome-

I can't believe my cleverness. I can't believe I dared! I cannot believe that I will carry out my plan today after school. You see, after school, just Mr. Taisho and I, I will seduce him.

How do I know this will work?

Yesterday, I caught him staring at me. When I looked back at him, he blushed.

Mr. Taisho actually blushed, like he was embarrassed about being caught looking at me.

I figure, that must mean something. I can't just give up my feelings because he is older than me! Mr. Taisho is utterly breathtaking! I have been in love with him for so long! This daring and devious plan has to work, for I will die of embarrassment should it not!

How can I go through this day with such heaviness in my heart? I am so nervous.

Mr. Taisho was in his classroom. I peeked in and watched him while he was grading papers. He didn't notice me and I took my time to lazily drag my eyes over his body. As if sensing my eyes, Mr. Taisho stopped moving altogether. He sat for a moment, completely still, then shook himself and continued working.

In the View of Sesshomaru-

The chimes rang and the class straggled in. She was the first one in and she took her time, sitting down slowly in her chair. She smiled lazily at me, a slow, sultry smile. My heartbeat quickened in my chest.

"After school today, right, Mr. Taisho?" she asked, the smile still adorning her beautiful face. I nodded.

"You are correct, Higurashi," I confirmed, my hands starting to sweat. It was going to be a long period.

By the end of the period, I was hot all over and I felt very uncomfortable. She had been staring at me the whole period and it was getting rather ridiculous. All I wanted to do was grab her, throw her against the desk and show her what English really means! But that is the kind of thinking that gets me crazy. I took a deep breath and thanked God that the period was over.

Only two more to go.

In the View of Kagome-

It was the end of the day. My math teacher was shoving the homework in my hands and I was walking, dazedly, to the English room, where he would be waiting for me.

I have been trying to remember his first name, Mr. Taisho's, so, should I need to, I could use it. I have been racking my mind ever since English and I finally found it.

Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru Taisho, that is his name.

A beautiful name for a beautiful man, I always say.

I stopped in the doorway to the classroom and stared at him. He stared at me. We both gulped. An awkward silence hung in the air. He finally cleared his throat and gave me a tight smile. He spoke in clipped tones.

"So, shall we begin?" I smiled like the Cheshire cat.

"I believe we shall," and I closed the door behind me.
