There he was standing right in front of her. Sesshomaru held a calm but, cold face and he was wearing a black shirt with blood red letters saying 'Seether' and black pants. " Did you hear all that?" asked Kikyo. She was very embarressed. ' Something about her attracts me. She seems so pale and her eyes are red like she has been crying. I guess Inuyasha dumped her for Kagome. I honestly don't know what she saw in him,' thought Sesshomaru. "Yes I did. You do sing pretty good," complimented Sesshomaru. Usually he would compliment Rin but something about Kikyo made him feel pity for her. " I don't care if you like it or not. It wasn't meant for ears to hear," with that said, Kikyo walked towards Sesshomaru but slipped and she was waiting to hit the dirt. But it never came, she was feeling a warm chest and strong arms holding her. Kikyo looked up at Sesshomaru and blushed. Sesshomaru looked at Kikyo with warm eyes that nobody saw except Rin. But then those eyes turned cold. "That is the only compliment you would get from me."

" I'm sorry about that," said Kikyou as she tried to stand up. " I know that Inuyasha was betraying you behind your back," said Sesshomaru.' This woman is getting on my nerves. Why does she effect me so? Well, I guess she could hang out with Rin. She needs someone to talk about personal things and Jaken and I aren't one of those people to talk to about it, ' thought Sesshomaru. Kikyo nodded and waited. " If you want you can hang around with Rin. But do something to hurt her and you will be filled with humiliation," continued Sesshomaru. Kikyo never thought he would say this but she waited to what he was going to say. " I loathe my half brother. If he sees you with me, he will be angry. And you might get him back."

" I see what you are saying, but I do not except. If Inuyasha regrets his actions, I will not be the one to comfort him. But I would like to be your friend, you seem much better when you are not in school. What are you doing here anyway?" asked Kikyo. Sesshomaru closed his eyes. "What I do is none of your concern. "You should lighten up. Stop being so cold," replied Kikyo. 'She dares to tell me what to do? That wench! Well, she does have some point,' thought Sesshomaru. He continued to look at Kikyou. Never had he seen such a beauty in front of him. 'Inuyasha is a fool to let her go. what is wrong with me! ' thought Sesshomaru. Kikyou was feeling uneasy by the way he was looking at her. " Sesshomaru, we are soaked to the bone. Why not just head home," suggested Kikyo. " Would you come to mine?" asked Sesshomaru. Kikyo was taken back. Her cheeks were started to get red. "Ummm.. okay," said Kikyo.

Kikyo walked over to Sesshomaru and grabbed his hand. " Lead the way, friend," said Kikyo. Sesshomaru was feeling all warm inside, but it's a good thing that Kikyo didn't notice. They both looked at each other and Kikyou smiled. Sesshomaru turned away, but he did like the way they were holding hands. He felt this strange feeling inside of him. "You know Sesshomaru, this could be the beginning of a good friendship," said Kikyo. "Why do you say that," replied Sesshomaru. " I never seen you this way, only for Rin. Why do you hide yourself from others?" asked Kikyo. " Why do you?" asked Sesshomaru. " I hide myself because I'm different and misunderstood. The only ones that understands me, are my two best friends and I think you, too. Everyone is cheerful and yet I feel sorrow because I think there is something missing from my life and I can't find that something or... someone, do you feel that way, too?" replied Kikyo. ' What he hell is going on? Why am I feeling all warm inside when she talks? Well, I guess I can't escape it. She does look beautiful,' thought Sesshomaru. " Yes, I do. I feel that way everyday. Kikyou can you let go of my hand," said Sesshomaru. He did not want to let go; he loved the feeling of her warmth in his hands. Kikyo looked at her hand that was wrapped with his, she blushed and nodded. Sesshomaru and Kikyo walked up Sesshomaru's and Inuyasha's house, thinking Inuyasha wasn't there. And boy were they wrong.

" You have a lovely house Sesshomaru," said Kikyo in awed. The rooms were all clean and neat. Then that was they both heard noise, but they ignored it. Kikyo and Sesshomaru were heading upstairs, until they froze. Kikyou gasped trying to hold back any tears that were forming. Sesshomaru glared at his pathetic They saw Inuyasha with his arm around Kagome's waist. She was wearing a short mini skirt and her tank top was a mess. 'I guess they were having some 'fun', I guess Inuyasha really meant what he said. I'm not good enough,' thought Kikyo as tears began to flow. She sighed and walked to the door and walked away. Rain started to fall and wind stared to blow. " You bastard why don't you fuck your slut somewhere else instead of making yourself a fool!" yelled Sesshomaru. He ran towards Kikyou. ' Why do I care for her? Why? Is she someone that I've been looking for to replace this empty feeling,' thought Sesshomaru. There he found Kikyo on the ground crying. He kneeled next to her and embraced her. " Don't worry Kikyo, I will protect you," said Sesshomaru. Kikyo looked at him and embraced him back. " Please don't leave me," she whispered.
