The Last Paragraph of Chapter Four


Kagome punched her pillow. Why wouldn't her mother have called when she got engaged?

'Poor Souta.' Kagome thought.

With her heart going out in condolences to her younger brother it also went out with love to Sesshomaru.
XxXxXxXxXxXxX

The California morning was astounding. The sun shone majestically as it rose from the east. The rooms of the apartments started to slowly fill with light.

Kagome slept peacefully and was given and ethereal glow as the sun shone upon her.

Being that it was six in the morning Kagome's alarm clock sounded, causing the basking presence to stir awake.

Kagome rolled over and shut her alarm off, how she loathed that alarm clock.

'You don't have to drive today so you don't have to rush around as much.' Kagome thought to herself.

Walking into the bathroom she turned on the shower and discarded her cloths. The steaming water ran down her back as she closed her eyes, thinking of a certain silver haired angel.

'His kiss was so amazing.' Kagome thought, remembering his kisses.

She touched her neck where a very noticeable 'hicky' was. She touched it and noticed how it tingled. She tiled her head to the side and let the water run over it.

Kagome lost track of time and soon enough she heard a knock at the door.

Jumping out of the shower, not caring to dry her hair or anything, she rushed to the door, with just a towel on, expecting to see Gin. She opened it with a smile.

It wasn't Gin.

Kagome was mortified.

'Gin." Was all Kagome could think as she stood in the doorway.

"Erm…uhh…." Kagome stuttered.

Sesshomaru quirked and eyebrow while a smirk lined his face. Kagome took one deep breath and forced herself to make an intelligent sentence.

"Umm…why don't you come in?" Kagome asked him.

Sesshomaru smirk grew wider as Kagome realized how extremely sexual that must have sounded.

"I mean come in while I get ready." Kagome corrected, blushing furiously as Sesshomaru stepped in.

Kagome sighed; this had to be the best way to start your day by far.

'I am going to kill her.' Kagome thought.

She saw Sesshomaru sit on her bed and she laughed quietly at the whole situation. She brushed past her CD player and hit play as she walked over to her dresser and grabbed some cloths. She smiled at Sesshomaru and went into the bathroom, making sure to close the door behind her.

'Very nice.' Sesshomaru thought.

As if on cue the music started to play.

The music in question surprised Sesshomaru.

It was classic Queen. He had thought that Kagome listened to the new age music, like the crap his brother listened to.

As the beat of the song picked up Kagome came out of the bathroom slightly dancing.

She was wearing a pair of form fitting blue jeans and a dark red shirt that was v cut and flared around the neck, hiding her 'hicky'.

"You look nice Kagome." Sesshomaru told her, causing her to blush.

"Thank you." Kagome replied, smiling a little.

She grabbed her bag and a hair tie from her dresser. She went to put her hair up but was stopped. Sesshomaru had wrapped his arm around her waist and, with his other hand, took the hair tie out.

"You look better with it down." Sesshomaru told her, kissing her on the cheek as he took her bag from her.

Kagome smiled and followed him out of his apartment, locking it behind her.

"Thanks for coming to get me." Kagome told him, walking beside him.

"It was my pleasure. If you'll always answer that door in a towel I might have to do it again." Sesshomaru replied, smirking as Kagome turned red.

Kagome was silently cursing herself for answering the door in her towel. It could have been worse though, it could have been Miroku. Kagome giggled at the thought as she got into Sesshomaru black Lexus.

"What's so funny?" Sesshomaru asked her, not starting the car and looking at her.

"I was thinking how glad I was that it was you seeing me in the towel over Miroku." Kagome told him, with a shy smile.

"Indeed." Sesshomaru replied, starting the car.

Kagome rolled her eyes, how possessive he could be.

Kagome liked the attention and possessiveness of Sesshomaru though. It made her feel special.

She looked over at him and smiled, knowing that he could see her. Her sign that he could was he smiled as well. The car ride was silent for the majority of it. That was until they were almost there.

"Are you coming over to the house again today?" Sesshomaru asked Kagome.

"If I'm invited, then sure." Kagome told him.

"Well, I invite you over. Meet me at the car after school and we'll go over together. InuYasha and the others can take the other car home." Sesshomaru replied, pulling into the school's parking lot.

Kagome smiled as he shut the car off. Sesshomaru leaned over and captured Kagome's lips in a heated kiss. He licked her bottom lip and waited for her to comply. Kagome felt herself slowly giving in to Sesshomaru and opened her mouth to let him in. His tongue darted into her mouth and caressed hers, causing her to shiver in delight.

He pulled away a moment later, done probing her mouth, for the time being.

"I'll see you after my dear." Sesshomaru told her, getting out of the car, grabbing his bag from the back seat.

Kagome giggled and grabbed her bag. Getting out of the car she couldn't help but let a smile grace her features.

"Okay, what happened?" Gin asked her impatiently, she had been waiting at Kagome's locker for Kagome to arrive.

"Patience is a virtue." Kagome scolded playfully.

Gin growled.

"Alright, we kissed, you happy?" Kagome asked her.

"What else? His scent is mixed with yours faintly." Gin told her, narrowing her eyes slightly.

Kagome blushed but pulled her top back a little to reveal the mark.

"Oh my!" Gin exclaimed, a smile on her features.

Kagome nodded and hid the mark again, grabbing her books. They headed towards English and were met by the other three, who were slightly questioning Kagome's happy mood.

"You smell like Sesshomaru." InuYasha mumbled.

"Well he did come pick me up right?" Kagome asked him.

"Humph." InuYasha replied, plopping down.

Kagome laughed and turned to Sango and Miroku, who seemed engrossed in a conversation.

"Today, we will be starting our grammar unit. I know what you're thinking, and yes it is very unnecessary but in the curriculum none the less." The teacher announced.

"I don't need no grammar." A demon stated from the middle of the class, his friends snickering.

"Perhaps if you had a brain you'd comprehend the lesson." Kagome mumbled to herself, a snicker coming from Gin and InuYasha upon hearing the comment.

The lesson wasn't entirely boring. The teacher kept poking fun at the non grammar friendly demon, causing him to look even more like an idiot.

"I'll catch up okay?" Kagome asked Sango and Gin, the bell for the class to end sounding.

The two girls nodded and left, carrying on a conversation.

Kagome waited a moment before exiting, coincidently meeting Sesshomaru a few feet away.

"You're late." Sesshomaru told her, causing near by students to stare.

"Hey, I was never told to meet you, this was on pure coincidence." Kagome replied.

"But of course." Sesshomaru announced, a small smile gracing his face for mere seconds.

As they entered the history class she felt Sesshomaru slightly pull on her wrist, signaling that he wanted her to sit near him. Kagome winked at Gin who understood and started talking with Sango.

"People might wonder." Kagome told him, joking.

"Let them continue to wonder. Perhaps they are wondering what you look like in a towel but I'm the only one that knows." Sesshomaru replied, casing Kagome to blush red as a few surrounding demon's jaw's hit the floor.

Sesshomaru smirked and say down in the corner with Kagome sitting beside him.

"These lessons are so boring." Kagome sighed, her head resting on her hand.

Sesshomaru nodded, leaning back in her chair.

Kagome tried to focus on the lesson but found herself enticed by Sesshomaru's molten depths. They continued to absent mindedly stare at each other. The bell rang, shaking them of their thoughts.

Kagome had had quite enough. Her mind kept replaying the events that had happened in that past few days and she was starting to relies more and more how much she wanted to be with Sesshomaru. As much as she tried to make herself believe that he wanted her she couldn't, the thought was depressing.

Sesshomaru sensed her uneasiness and slight depression as they walked silently to meditation. It was bothering him to no end. What could have put her in that state of being?

Kagome sat in the same spot she had the day before, Sesshomaru chose his usual spot at the back corner.

"Are you alright?" Sensei asked her, almost instantly when she sat down.

"Yes I am, I'm fine." Kagome lied.

"Clear your mind Kagome." Sensei instructed.

Kagome closed her eyes and willed herself into bliss.

Yet, her bliss was different.

In the middle of a field lay her and Sesshomaru. She was in his arms and he was kissing her neck, where he had left the mark. He started to kiss back up and nibbled on her ear lobe, causing her to let out a mew of pleasure.

"Kagome, I love you." Sesshomaru said to her.

"I love you too Sesshomaru." Kagome told him.

"I know my love." Sesshomaru replied.

With that said he kissed her. A sweet, innocent, undemanding kiss that left her breathless none the less. Kagome looked deep within his molten depths but was surprised to come face to face with harsh brown ones.

Kagome felt her heart stop.

"No, you're not real! You can't be here!" Kagome yelled at the figure, desperately trying to get out of the figures grasp.

"You can not escape me Kagome, I will finish what I started." The figure told her.

Kagome felt her cloths begin to rip off but at that exact moment she broke out of her meditation and came back to reality, only to find herself being looked at by the sensei and Sesshomaru.

Kagome looked back and noticed that the room had emptied.

"Kagome are you okay? You started to send off distress signals in your aura, what happened?" Sesshomaru asked, the worry laced in his voice extremely coherent.

Sensei choose that time to leave, the two needed time to deal with what had occurred.

"I'm fine, really." Kagome told Sesshomaru in a small voice.

"No, you're not. Don't lie to me Kagome; tell me what you were thinking of." Sesshomaru replied.

Kagome hesitated but knew she would have to tell him eventually.

"I was thinking about me and you, we were sitting, talk but then I looked back and…and…" Kagome started but couldn't control her emotions anymore.

She let herself look weak. She let herself cry. Her face was buried in her hands for a split second before she was pulled into a reassuring embrace.

"Please tell me Kagome." Sesshomaru pleaded, rubbing her back.

"I turned around to look at you but it wasn't you. It was him." Kagome told him.

"And who is he?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Back in Japan there was this boy, Kouga." Kagome started. "He took a very odd interest in me. He was the leader of the residing gang at my school. Word got around that I was his women and everyone started to get worried. Everyone knew that if he didn't get what he wanted he would hurt them, badly. One night he cornered me in an ally and tried to rape me. I stopped right before and in this hellish illusion that my mind created he told me that he was going to finish what he started. Sesshomaru, I-I'm scared."

Kagome was barely whispering by the end and crying. She felt Sesshomaru try and sooth her as he pulled her as close as their bodies would allow them to go.

'How could anyone try and do that to her? Why would they try and harm this beautiful girl. She truly is scared.' Sesshomaru thought to himself.

"Kagome I promise you, as long as I'm alive you will not be hurt by him, I swear by it." Sesshomaru told her, wiping her tears away with his hand.

Kagome smiled a bit and kissed Sesshomaru lovingly.

Demeter Hera: Well I do hope you enjoyed it and to clarify my actions regarding Kouga, I do like him in the show, at some points, but the character does bug me, and I could not use Naraku for he comes into the story next chapter. For those of you who care, I do believe I am off the 'killing' list of Veata for updating so soon, I do hope so, for I have school tomorrow, and she knows where I am almost all the time. I bid you farewell.
