Chapter 4:
After lunch, Naraku and I say our goodbyes and head to our classes.
'Wow…I think I'm really getting attached to him,' I think to myself as I walk with Sesshomaru toward the class where Health is to be held.
"It's not like we need to rush or anything though," Sesshomaru says, "Ms. Marlborough is always late."
"Amazing…See I kinda thought the teachers should be trying to set an example for the students."
Sesshomaru looks down at me then smiles. At the end of the hallway there is a couple of students standing by the door. One guy watches me and Sesshomaru until we're leaning against the wall across from them, then he walks over to me. "I'm Bankotsu," He says extending a hand to me, "You must be the new kid I've been hearing so much about."
"Uh…I guess," I say shaking his hand nervously. I'm only nervous because I caught a glimpse of Sesshomaru eyeing him distastefully.
"What's your name?"
"Alicia."
"That's a nice name."
"Thanks."
"A beautiful name for a beautiful girl."
"Huh?"
"So, Alicia," he says, placing on hand on the wall next to my head and leaning on it, "tell me…Is that a mirror in your pocket? 'Cuz I can see myself in your pants." He smiles.
Sesshomaru stands up straight, muscles tensed. I smile back at Bankotsu, "So you have black eyes, huh?"
Bankotsu chuckles, "Such an innocent girl…No they're green."
"Maybe now, but they're gonna be black if I here anymore cheap ass pick-up lines outa that mouth of yours."
He stands up straight. Frowning, he glances sideways at a smiling Sesshomaru, then up the hall at the teacher approaching. It's obviously Ms. Marlborough. After unlocking the classroom door-without taking notice of the students outside her room- she enters. The guy by the door enters after her, then Sesshomaru-hesitantly.
I move to follow but I'm pushed up against the wall by Bankotsu. "You know this isn't over," he says.
"That's what you think," I shoot back.
Pushing his groin hard into me he leans down and sniffs my neck. I push against his chest but he doesn't notice. "I love the smell of an innocent girl," he says and quickly runs his tongue from the bottom of my neck to just in front of my ear. Before I can react he whirls around and enters the classroom, me not far behind.
Sesshomaru waves me over to an empty seat beside him. I hurry over and sit down, avoiding all eye contact with Bankotsu.
"Thanks."
"Yeah. Are you okay?"
"Yeah…Hey where's Miroku?"
"Late…as usual."
I smile.
Half way through the class I finally notice that Bankotsu is sitting right in front of me. Turning quickly, he puts a folded up piece of paper on my desk and turns around again. I unfold it and read it. You know you want me. Shaking my head and sighing I crumple the paper and toss it in the garbage.
Looking over Sesshomaru-who is bent over his desk working-I smile at Miroku who was watching me, then return to my own work. Another piece of paper lands on my desk…from Miroku this time. What did it say?
Nothing.
Liar!
Shut-up it was just something stupid it didn't even make any sense.
Okay.
Bankotsu turns around and frowns at me, then turns back to the front only to turn around with another note.
What did you do with the note?
It's in the garbage.
Why?
Cuz.
What a waste of paper.
OH GOOD GOD! Just shut-up and do your work.
No.
Then just shut-up and leave me alone so I can work.
No.
Why?
Cuz I wanna talk to you.
About what?
I dunno.
Well then.
What color are your nipples?
Fuck off.
You do wanna fuck don't you?
Again I crumple the paper and throw it away. Glancing around before I return to my work, I notice Sesshomaru staring at me with a raised eyebrow. Again, I get a note.
What was that about?
Nothing.
Don't lie to me.
I'm not!
Yes you are! What did he say?
He was just being an asshole.
Well duh!
Shut-up!
Just tell me!
SHUT-UP!
What's wrong?
You're not letting me work that's what's wrong!
Sorry! I'm just concerned.
I can take care of myself now shut-up!
Okay okay sorry.
Whatever.
I am.
Okay.
Alright…so we're cool?
Yeah.
Another note from Bankotsu.
Is he bothering you baby?
Don't call me baby!
I'm sorry. Is he bothering you though?
No.
Sure?
Yes.
OK…I wanna fuck you.
PISS OFF!
I'm gonna fuck your pussy.
Crumpled and thrown away. This time I write a note to Sesshomaru.
That guy is a pervert.
Yup…you gonna tell me what he said?
…he keeps saying he's gonna fuck me.
SHIT! Okay thanks, I'll watch your back.
Thanks.
I'll tell Naraku what's up and Miroku, too so they can keep an eye out too.
OK.
You'll be alright, we won't let anything happen to you.
Greatly appreciated.
Sesshomaru writes another note and passes it to Miroku. He reads it, looks at me, then nods at Sesshomaru. The bells rings. Time to find Naraku and take a break. It isn't hard to find him, he's already in the Art room. I walk in-Sesshomaru very close behind- and say, "Naraku, you nerd!"
"Who me?"
"Yes."
He laughs and gently shoves my shoulder. Sesshomaru watches us closely then calls Naraku over to him where he stands by the door as I set my stuff down on a table next to Naraku. When I look up again, Sesshomaru is whispering to Naraku, who is nodding slowly. When they're done I walk over and stand in the doorway watching all the passing people. Noticing Koga and the other two I wave. They smile and wave back. Naraku stands behind me and wraps his arms around my shoulders and I lean back into his chest.
When the bell rings again we all head to our seats. The class passed quickly. The time went unnoticed until the last bell rang. Sesshomaru and all the others in the room gathered their things and left quickly. "I'm outa here. See ya guys."
"See ya."
"So what are you doing after school?" I ask Naraku.
"I gotta stay and catch up on some old Math work."
"Okay. I'll stay too I guess."
"Cool," he smiles, "You can keep me company."
"Yeah I guess."
In the math classroom, I sit quietly and watch Naraku work, smiling at him whenever he lifts his head. After about a half an hour I stand up and stretch. "I'll be right back, I'm gonna use the washroom."
"Okay, hurry up I'm almost done."
"Okay."
When I'm washing my hands, I glance into the mirror ahead of me and jump at what I see.
