One addiction to replace another
Pulling the pillow over her head in annoyance Kagome hit the snooze button on her alarm clock. 'Ugh, it can't be six in the morning yet!' Against her better judgment she peaked out from under her pillow only to groan at what she saw.
"Kaaaagooooommmmmmeeee!" An all too load voice rang out from the lower part of her room. 'Oh god please go away!' But her silent plea was only answered with someone pulling the covers away from her body.
"Kagome! Aren't you gonna get ready? We get to go to school today!" Shippo jumped up and down with excitement.
'Ugh, no one should have this much energy this early.' Sitting up she rubbed her eyes. "Yes Shippo, I'm gonna get ready, go tell mom I'll be down for breakfast soon." Squealing he nodded as he ran down the stairs and out of her hearing range.
Deciding a shower would help her wake up she made her way to the bathroom, stripping she stepped into her walk in shower just letting the warm water roam her body.
Kagome winched slightly as the hot water crept it's down her stomach and between her legs. "Damn you Sesshoumaru! You would think he'd learn a different style than…rough. Some times I think he forgets I'm human."
True to his word he was with her every night of his heat cycle. She had to learn how to put up a barrier on the nights that her parents were home, so no one could hear them. She still had yet to tell anyone that she was still in contact with him as of late. But knowing Sango and Inuyasha, she was sure they would find out soon enough, they always did.
Scrubbing her body Kagome was satisfied that she had washed all traces of him off of her. She hated all of this secrecy being in her life, why couldn't it be normal? Although, nothing that had to deal with Sesshoumaru was normal.
But the latest complication in her life was her own. She decided to keep going out on dates with Hojo; which meant she had to scrub any traces of his scent off of her, no she would not go that far with the poor boy. She just couldn't bring herself to say yes to make it official.
She knew she couldn't keep the fact that she was seeing someone from Sesshoumaru forever; she just kept pushing it off as long as she could. She knew she didn't love Hojo, just he took her mind of him and she had fun. That's all she wanted to do right now, live. She would start high school today, which marked the end of another summer; she didn't want to waste any of this time.
She also didn't feel bad for 'seeing' someone since Sesshoumaru was still with other sluts. Yes, sluts. That's all that they were in Kagomes eyes, and she was pretty sure in Sesshoumarus as well. They all knew of Sesshoumarus ways when they got with him, they just choose to ignore it until he dumped them for his next new fling.
Kagome couldn't help but laugh at this fact. She knew she was being used for release when his heat cycle kicked in, but she still knew he at least cared about her. That is the one thing the other females could never know, his caring side.
Kagome was slowly starting to show her back bone around Sesshoumaru. She was finding ways to 'use' him as well, well not him pre-say, but his father... Of course she loved their fuck sessions as much as he did, but his father could help her out when it came to going to college and finding a job.
Inutaisho informed her that she needn't worry about her future, even with out her being Sesshoumarus mate he would have helped her out in anyway that he could have.
Fearing Shippo might come looking for her if she took too long Kagome reluctantly turned off the water.
After wrapping a towel around her now wet hair she made her way into her closet to pick out an outfit for the day. Thank god she didn't have to wear a uniform anymore, high schoolers wore whatever they wanted, maybe it wouldn't be so bad…
Flipping her head back over she set the blow drier down on her vanity and continued to tweak her hair until it was perfect. Applying a light coat of lip gloss and fixing the collar on her shirt Kagome grabbed her back pack before heading toward the kitchen.
"About time you join us hon, would you like some pancakes?" Shio smiled brightly at her daughter.
Hearing a horn honk outside Kagome cheered to herself. "Heh, no thanks Mom! Sango is here!" Not giving her mom time to say anything Kagome sprinted out the door and into Sangos Jeep.
Times like this she thanked Kami for having Sango as a friend. Sure Sango was the same age as her and wouldn't have a driver licenses for almost another year but Sango could get away with it quiet easily. Her father was a well respected police detective and could get Sango out of almost anything.
"Well you seem to be in a hurry." Sango smirked as she pulled out of the drive way and onto the street.
"I'm already nervous about today, don't start with me Sango." Flipping down the visor Kagome pulled her collar down on her shirt only to sigh.
"Leave it alone Kagome. It won't change back to its original color with you simply staring at it. You knew that potion wouldn't stop the color change but you it didn't stop you from doing anything now did it?"
"You act like I have committed murder Sango! He choose this Sango, not me. Am I just suppose to let him go on with his life and not even give me a second glace while I just sit and let the time fly by alone?"
Shaking her head Sango squeezed her friends' hand. "No one is saying that Kagome, just… be careful. If, no, when he finds out, because we both know he will, he's going to be a very pissed off youkia."
"That's were you come in Sango! You can kick his ass, use that training of yours." Kagome giggled at the thought, as another came to mind; the potion, the little bottle that gave her room to breathe freely if only for second.
The fact that Sesshoumaru could sense whatever she was feeling while in the company of another male didn't sit very well with Kagome, not well at all. She had no desire to know how he felt about his…his…bed warmers. So why should she allow him the pleasure of knowing what she was doing and with whom.
Flashback
She happened upon a potion one day by chance when she was drug into a little hole in the wall shop by Sango. From what she remembered Sagno telling her about this place, it was one of the few placed left where you could by poisons, potions, spells…etc… if you where demon, miko or in Sangos case a demon slayer. Well, slayer in training.
Reading over the direction label on the bottle, a little light bulb went off in Kagomes head. Smirking to herself she decided to give it a try, what did she have to loose? Walking up to the front of the store, Kagome gently placed the potion down on the counter.
"Can you tell me more about this one please?" Picking up the bottle, an elderly woman raised her eyebrow at the younger female.
"It's a bond suppressant." Placing the bottle back on the counter, she gave Kagome a blank stare.
"Well I know that much, I meant can you explain to me how it works…?" Feeling a little uneasy from the woman's stare, Kagome began to play with her hair as a diversion.
Smiling softly she nodded "Basically my dear, it stops any form of communication between whom every drinks it to the person they are mated too. Said person can choose when to resume the bond as easily as it was stopped; usually taken when one wants too… bed another beside their other half."
"Are there any side effects that could be harmful or anything?"
"No, not really. What is complained about often is the fact that it does not stop the fact that your mark will still change in color depending on the…act which was committed during the time the bond is severed. " The elderly woman's eyes darted to Kagome neck quickly before moving back to her face.
"But, it will hide the mark from any other male as along as the potion is in your system. One bottle should last you a month to a month and a half. Take a drop in the morning and one at night to insure its full affect."
Laughing nervously Kagome said she'd take it, handing her the money quickly Kagome darted out of the shop only to wait for Sango to join her.
Sure enough Sesshoumaru had not questioned her once about another male or even hinted at the fact that he thought something was amiss. Kagome was grateful for this tiny little bottle; it let her lead a semi-normal life when she wasn't around Sesshoumaru.
End Flashback
The first part of Kagomes day was uneventful and rather boring. Getting papers filled out; hearing the same welcome back to school speech; it was to repetitive and she was glad it was now lunch time.
Hearing her name being called out Kagome turned toward the voice and couldn't help but smile. "Hey Kagome! I've been looking for you; Sango and the guys are outside waiting for us."
Taking her back pack from her Hojo slung it over his shoulder and proceeded to escort her towards their friends. "I'd also like for you to meet a few of my friends Kagome."
Some how this didn't sit very well with Kagomes instincts, alarm bells were going off but she just push them aside as she followed the male beside her.
Seeing a figure running down toward them Kagome soon realized it was Sango. Stopping beside the duo Sango panted trying to catch her breath as she tried to pry Kagome away from Hojo.
"What has gotten into you?" Kagome became slightly worried. "Just come with me Kagome, I really need to talk to you."
"Give me a few; Hojo wants me to meet a few of his friends." Hojo had already begun to pull her towards a table as Sango started to pull her in the opposite direction.
Pulling her hand out of Sangos grasp she walked behind Hojo. "Honestly Sango, what as gotten you so…."
"Kagome I'd like to introduce you to a few friends of mine"
Her mind was screaming for her to run, to be anywhere but her, but instead she stood there like a deer caught in a head light.
Feeling a hand being placed on her shoulder Kagome nearly jumped out of her skin. This is why Sango was trying to get her attention, how dumb was she not to listen. There sitting not five feet from her was Sesshoumaru.
Kagome watched his every move while trying her best not to listen to her instincts; which at this point were telling her to run, get as far away from Hojo as she could.
Amusement danced in Sesshoumarus eyes as he watched the couple in front of him. He was almost caught of guard when he saw who was with Hojo. He knew the human boy was smitten with someone but it never seemed like a possibility that the 'someone' was HIS Kagome.
This was just her luck, it never dawned on her that Hojo would be in the same circle as Sesshoumaru, and they were just so different. Well, personality wise; reputation, wealth, and power is what the two had in common. Sure, the Taishos out did any family in the country in all three categories but Hojo's family were still up there along side them.
"This is Naraku Akaumo, Hiten Takashi, and Sesshoumaru Taisho; Inuyashas older brother.'
"Half brother." Two voices stated together. Looking confused Hojos eyes darted from the Inu before too the figure beside him. "Heh, heh… uhm I know Sesshoumaru, Hojo."
"Ah I see! How could you not know him?"
A burning sensation spread through out her body, knowing the source of the pain a delicate hand started to rub the side of her neck. Noticing the smirk was still plastered on Sesshoumarus face and eyes still glued to hers Kagome started to get light headed.
"Kagome, is everything alright?"
"Uhm… just feeling a little dizzy that's all. I think I need some water, excuse me will you?" Not waiting for an answer she made her way, quickly, toward the school building.
'Where are you off too in such a rush?'
Groaning out loud Kagome refused to answer his questions, trying to think of anything but him and the situation she was now in; Unaware of her surroundings she kept walking, as long as she wasn't in their presence she didn't care where she ended up.
000000
A hand clamped down over her mouth as she was dragged backwards; it happened so quickly by the time Kagomes mind registered what was happening; she found herself in a tiny room pushed up against a wall.
Feeling a hand sliding up her shirt she began to struggle against her assailant, the hand over her mouth tightened as she felt more of his body press against hers, pinning her against the wall.
Hot breath tickled the outer edge of her ear; trying her best she attempted to turn her head away. Ultimately this earned a dark chuckle from her mystery man; wide eyed she couldn't believe he was actually laughing at her. Closing her eyes she tried to calm herself by forcing her miko senses around this person's aura to find a weakness.
'A demon! A very powerful one at that, if I can just stun him it might give me enough time to get out of this place!' Something in the back of her mind told her she shouldn't fear this demon, but her miko side quickly silenced it.
Concentrating her powers, hearing it pop and crackle as it clashed with the unknown demons aura. How ever, she wasn't expecting to hear the beast behind her chuckle at this. Becoming aggravated she no longer cared if she purified him or not; he was now mocking her.
Sending out a higher dose of energy; the room was engulfed in a bright pink light, feeling the clawed hands pull away from her body she couldn't help but smirk. Kagome was sure of herself and of her powers, no youkia no matter how strong could have lived through what she just unleashed.
As her powers died down, she felt the strain which she had just put her body through. Clenching her chest she leaned her head against the wall trying to calm her beating heart. "Great, I've used more energy than intended."
"Perhaps you should put it to better use next time." Before she could turn herself around; the dark figure did it for her, once again pinning her against the hard wall. Blue eyes stared into gold scanning; searching for an answer but kept coming up empty handed.
"How…?" Smirking at the beauty before him, Sesshoumaru contemplated on telling her why the purification hadn't worked or not; ignoring her for now he placed his legs between hers forcing them open.
Starting at her thighs, he ran his fingers up her sides caressing the skin which was currently blocked from his view by her clothing; then slowly made his way back down to the inside of her thighs.
Closing her eyes tightly she tried to push down any urge to make it known that she liked what he was currently doing to her. Not that she needed too, he could already smell the change in her scent. Damn his demonic senses!
Her eyes shot open when she felt his hand cup her; much to her surprise gently; she let out a small whimper as a single digit started to assault her hot center. Her body betrayed her pushing down her hips; grinding against his hand as he added another finger.
'Hn… no panties and you're wearing a skirt. Such a slut you've become'
'I don't hear you complaining about the lack of material!'
'True. As long as you did it with me in mind my dear.'
'And if I didn't? Not everything I do revolves around you Sesshoumaru!'
'Oh?'
'Yes!' Thank god for telepathy she knew she wouldn't have been able to say any of that which the state she was in. "Soo...clooosee…" moaning she continued to grind down on his hand.
She was lost in a trance from his touch, only to be brought back to reality when feeling his hot breath on the out side of her ear. As if just now noticing what he was doing she tried to push him away but with no avail.
"Tell me why you aren't purified Sessho-oo-umaru!" He couldn't help but let out a short laugh when she all but moan his name. Making sure he hit that sensitive spot every time he never stopped his assault with his fingers causing the female before him to glare; trying not to let her real emotions show.
"You bare my mark." As if to make sure it was still intact on her neck he nipped at it. "I am therefore your mate, this much you know. You can not do anything within your power or that of someone else's to harm my person. I on the other hand do not bare any such mark and can do what I want with you."
She could feel his lips form into a smirk against her neck; as if imaging the devious things he had planned for her. She would question him later right now her mind was only focused on what he was doing to her body. As much as she hated him, she loved the way he made her feel.
Sesshoumaru knew she was close to her release, which is what he wanted. He wanted her to know he was the only one that could do this to her. He was going to make her beg for what she wanted.
Stopping suddenly, he pulled both fingers out of her; crying out in frustration she opened her mouth to protest only to have both of his now glistening fingers shoved in. "Clean them." With out even thinking she did as he commanded, swirling her skillful tongue around his fingers; hungrily licking up anything she could.
In one swift movement Sesshoumaru had her on her knees; kneeling in front of him. Looking up at him about to question what he was doing, she received her answer as he undid his pants letting them drop down around his ankles.
"You are going to please me, Kagome; if you do a good job you will be rewarded."
'Just who does he think he his!' Kagome shouted angrily in her mind, her aura flashed out a warning.
'I… my dear miko am your mate. Your superior; your alpha. You will do as you're told without questioning it! This is your punishment.'
Looking confused for a moment before realizing with out the potion being in her system he could read her thoughts once again. 'Wait…punishment? FOR WHAT?'
No answer was received as he grabbed the back of her head; pulling her forward. The movement itself caused her to open her mouth in a reaction; if intending on screaming for help, all cries were soon silenced and turned into muffled pleas as he forced his throbbing member into her hot mouth.
Feeling her close her lips around him as almost too much; growling softly he watched as she began to pump him in and out of her mouth on her own. He knew she couldn't fight him on this matter; no matter how badly she wanted too, she would always give into his needs.
She was still young, once untouched and now only to be touched by him. Just the thought of her doing this for another male made his eyed flash red with rage. She had asked why she was being punished. Did she think him a fool? He noticed the change of her mark she so desperately tried to hide.
He knew they hadn't gone as far as intercourse but that was beside the point. How dare she seek another male's attention! Pulling himself out of his thoughts he began to concentrate on the task at hand.
Placing a hand on the wall in front of him; he braced himself as he felt her take all of him into her mouth. Kami, was there anything this female couldn't do. By luck of the gods he quickly realized Kagome had no gag reflex.
Reaching around Kagome placed both of her hands on his tight ass, pulling him in even more if possible. She knew she shouldn't be giving into him but how could she not? She craved any attention that he would give her; even if it meant humiliating her.
Feeling his muscles tighten and convulse she knew he was going close, his breath was becoming heavier; inwardly Kagome smirked at herself, if there was any way to do so she would stop her actions and let the bastard suffer like she was.
Letting out a snarl Sesshoumaru placed a hand on the back of Kagomes head; gripping her hear tightly.
'It would not be wise for you to do so.' Ah…yes… she to often forgot about the thought sharing.
Feeling warmth begin to fill her mouth; relaxing her throat she swallowed all he had to offer; sucking his length hard milking him for everything he was worth.
Pulling out of her mouth, he readjusted his clothes as if nothing had just transpired between them. Putting a hand out, he helped her up off her knees; never letting the smirk on his face fall out of place.
"Be at my house at 6 pm. No earlier, no later." He turned to leave the small room; which Kagome now noticed was a janitor closet.
"Excuse me? You haven't even answered my question Sesshoumaru! What was I being punished for?"
Without turning around; merely stopping for a moment "Do you honestly think I'd let you be with someone else?" not even bothering to wait for her response, he walked out of the room without a glace back.

Thankfully she was not late for her next class; Computer science. She had somehow fixed her disheveled hair and clothes before making her entrance into the class room. Her eyes locked with Sangos for a moment before she looked away to find her assigned seat.
After listening to the teacher go on about what they would learning this year, he announced they could 'surf' the net for the rest of the class or talk to the person beside them as long as they kept the noise to a minimum.
Looking around Kagome didn't recognize anyone within talking range. Next best option? IM's of course. Shortly after signing on she was invited to a party chat, hitting accept; she soon found her chat box flooded with questions.
Sango: Ok out with it!
Kagome: What are you talking about Sango?
Sango: What's wrong? I know there is something!
Kagome: Sango… I really don't want to talk about it.
Sango: its Sesshoumaru isn't?
Sango: I KNEW IT! What did he do? Wait till I get a hold of him!
Kagome: Please don't, you'll just make things worse. We'll talk about it on the way home ok?
Sango: Fine, you better not chicken out!
000000
This day could not have gone by any slower well at least in Kagomes mind. She was just grateful she hadn't seen either of the 'men' in her life since lunch. Especially the proclaimed mate as he called himself.
Standing on the curb scanning the area for Sangos jeep but to no avail; becoming frustrated she threw her hands up in the air. "Where the hell is she!"
"Where's who?" A pair of arms reached out wrapping around her waist.
'Just my luck…' Giving one of his arms a little squeeze before undoing them, Kagome turned around with a classic smile on her face. "Sangos slow ass is suppose to be giving me a ride home."
"Well I can take you home, it's really no problem Kagome." Pulling her back into his embrace Hojo flashed his pearly whites at her.
"Oi! Kagome, you comin' or what!" She'd never been so happy to see Inuyashas mug in her life. From the looks of it Sango was giving him and Miroku a ride as well.
Darting out of Hojos embrace Kagome darted toward the red jeep. "I'll call you later Hojo! Thanks for the offer though." Mouthing step on it to Sango the four teens headed out of the parking lot.
"Took you long enough, slow ass!" Kagome crossed her arms ass if she was actually mad at her best friend.
"Shut up, it wasn't even my fault! These two decided to tag along with even asking!" Clicking her finger nails on the steering wheel Sango cast a side glance at the female beside her. She was upset the two males were here as much as Kagome. Something was upsetting her best friend and she knew the source of the pain; but she wasn't sure on what had actually happened.
Sango knew better than saying anything in front of the two morons in the back seat; they both saw Kagome as a little sister; a fragile thing that would break; blow away if the wind blew too hard. She knew differently though; Kagome had been through hell since that night and from the looks of things she was getting better at hiding the pain.
But, she hadn't quiet mastered it. Reaching over she grabbed Kagomes hand in her own giving it a small squeeze. Knowing what Sango was saying without even hearing the words Kagome squeezed her hand back before letting go; turning her attention back to the road ahead of her.
"Kagome."
"Yea Inuyasha?" turning her head behind her, giving the dog eared boy her full attention; only to see his nose scrunched up.
"Mind explaining something to me?" He couldn't stop the scowl that crept up and formed on his face.
"Uhm… sure, what's is it?" Looking at Miroku for some insight only to receive a shrug of the shoulders.
"Tell me why in the bloody hell MY BROTHERS SCENT IS ON YOU!"
Something moist hit Kagome on the side of her face; casting a glare at the dark haired boy that sat behind her Kagome's mind raced to think of what to tell her friend. 'Oh…nothing much Inu, I just blew your brother in-between lunch and 5th period.'
In the surprise of the moment Miroku had spit out the soda in his mouth landing on Kagomes face and much to Sangos dismay; the back of her leather seats. His mind was racing as well; just not of a way to get out of answering this question; but of the possibilities of the question.
"Well? You gonna answer or not wench!" It hadn't taken him long to catch the scent of his brother. At first he thought they had maybe run into each other; his brother did seem rather miffed about Hobo being with Kagome earlier; but then he caught the scent of sex mixed in with theirs. It made his blood boil, had he not told that bastard to stay away from Kagome? Hadn't he put her through enough, Hoho at least treated her right.
"Uhm….heh… welll… you seee…the thing is Inuyasha…" Stumbling over her words Kagome looked at Sango for some help.
"It's none of your business Inuyasha." Looking in her rear view mirror; sending a glare that promised pain if he didn't back off.
"Feh! The hell it ain't! If that bastard hurt her in any way I want to know about it!"
"He didn't hurt me Inu…just please drop it, ok?" Sighing, she turned her head back to face forward. She knew her friends meant well but she knew they wouldn't understand the relationship between her and Sesshoumaru. Hell some times she didn't even understand it. How could she possibly explain it to them?
By the grace of one little mark on her neck; he owned her. He made sure she knew this any time the chance arose. He wasn't going to let her go, she had put that much together on her own; but why? From the looks of thing he was never going to actually be with her, she didn't see the need for these silly little games of his. That's what it turning into; a big game of cat and mouse. Unfortunately, she always seemed to fall into his trap.
"You have to eat that in front of me don't you? I have never understood how you could eat a carton of ice cream and not gain a once of weight!"
"Feh, woman and their weight. " Rolling his eyes at the two Inuyasha turned back to the conversation he was having on his cell phone.
/\
"Yea, just come by the house. We're just hanging out in my room."
"You sure it's safe enough?"
"Quit being a pussy and get your ass over here!"
/\
Pushing the end button Inuyasha was met with three sets of confused eyes.
Wiggling his eye brows Miroku couldn't resist "Lovers quarrel my dear friend?"
"Shut up you damn pervert. Onigumo is coming over with some, ahh.. He's just on his way over."
"With what Inu?" Casting an innocent look his way Kagome tilted her head waiting for a reply.
Opening his mouth to tell her it wasn't any of her business Inuyasha was soon cut off. "Hey kags, will you go get some more snacks? I've finished off the ice cream!"
"Uhm, yeah sure! Be right back!"
Shutting the door behind her Kagome sighed to herself. She knew they were keeping something from her and they had been doing this a lot lately. Not that she didn't have secrets of her own but hers were different; they all had to do with one silver haired demon.
000000
Continuing to rant to herself while walking down stairs towards the kitchen; opening the huge freezer up she scanned the contents until her eyes found what she was set out to get. 'SCORE! Cookie 'n cream!' Doing a little dance with the ice cream in tow she started back up the stairs two at a time.
'I'm going to gain weight I just know it! Why must you taste so good!' holding the carton up staring at it; was if waiting for it to make a response back. Her little conversation with the ice cream came to an abrupt halt when she came to the top of the stair case; greeted by a very high pitched whine.
"Who is she Sesshoumaru!"
It was definitely a woman that was making the racket. Her voice was enough to hurt Kagomes human ears; she couldn't imagine what it was doing to Sesshoumarus demonic ones. Curiosity always did get the best of Kagome; sneaking around the corner she noticed a tall dark haired female. She was maybe 5'7'' still dwarfed compared to Sesshoumaru; but then again what wasn't? Black hair reach about mid back; from the looks of it she was extremely slim as well.
She could only see the side of the woman's face but Kagome knew she must have been a looker – Sesshoumaru would only have the best.
"It is none of your concern." Clenching his fists Sesshoumaru managed to at least keep the mask on his face. What did this wench expect? Sure she was good looking and a good fuck. That was it, he wasn't about to explain himself to her of all people.
"The hell it isn't! I want to know who she is right now! I would have at least expected you to have enough sense to wash the whores scent off of you."
"Silence your mouth before I silence it for you." Kagome saw it before it even happened but didn't have enough time to really register it until it did. Flinching; Kagome squeezed her eyes shut expecting to hear the sounds that a hand meeting a face would create.
Noticing the sound had not come she opened her eyes and soon understood why. A clawed hand was tightly holding onto the hand of his offender. The look of shock clearly etched on the woman's face; narrowing his eyes as his jaw tightened; he simply gazed upon the figure before him which had so boldly tried to strike out at him.
"You seem to want an early death." Feeling something very cold come into contact with her bare foot, Kagomes attention was again pulled back to the carton in her now numb hands. 'Damn it! Its melting… of all the times!' Cursing herself Kagome made her way toward the arguing couple.
"I want an answer Sesshoumaru! Tell me wh—" A new scent filled the air causing both demons to turn their heads toward the source. Sesshoumaru mentally slapped himself, he had been so caught up with dealing with the bitch in front of him to even notice Kagome was near.
Light purple eyes slowly started to form into a glare at the human female making her way in their direction. Kagomes eyes were fixed on Sesshoumaru, not even bothering to acknowledge the demoness or her warning growls.
Following the humans stare; she was lead back to the male standing beside her. 'So that's the whore is it? A mere human!'
"That's her isn't it Sesshoumaru! The whore you had please you, how could you choose a human over me!"
Kagome couldn't help but laugh when her words reached her ears. Over her? Please, if she only knew it was the other way around. If anyone was being chosen over it was her, Kagome, that's how it's been ever since he so kindly left the mark on her neck.
Both demons looked at her like she had grown a second head, this only caused Kagome to laugh harder. She was tired of being hurt every time she was around him, this was the only way she could vent her pain without crying.
"Leave my sight at once." Never breaking his eye contact with Kagome he coldly let the other female know where she stood on the matter.
In between laughs Kagome somehow managed to speak. "No… that's ok she can stay. I have a delivery to make." Holding up the carton she continued on her way "Sorry to interrupt your… discussion. Please by all means continue."
"Here's the ice cream, sorry it took so long guys." Plopping down on the couch she tossed the carton to Sango.
With out a second thought Sango ripped the top off and dug in. "You gonna share that ice cream or what Sango?"
Stopping her spoon in front of her mouth Sango glared. "Yes, but I refuse to share my spoon!"
"Damnit! I knew I forgot smething!"
"HA! Better hurry up kags, I might be kind enough to leave you some!" Flipping her best friend off Kagome once again set off on another adventure.
000000
Poking her head half way out the door of Inuyashas bedroom she looked both ways making sure the couple from earlier where no longer in her seeing or hearing range.
'One…two….three!' Making a run for it Kagome never took into account of the hall way rug not being secured to the floor. Hitting the rug in a full sprint sent the poor girl flying into the air, straight into the arms of a man. 'Wait…. What the hell?'
Forcing herself to look, her eyes widened at whom she saw. Definitely not whom she expected; but definitely relieved at this fact. "Been meaning to have that rug fixed for years; just kept forgetting why. Thanks for reminding me little one."
Smiling at the girl in his arms Inutaisho, pulled her up to her feet. "Promise me you'll be careful next time?"
"Hai! Sorry about that… heh… I'm a little clumsy at times…" Smiling the best she could without feeling more like an idiot.
"I think an evil spirit possesses it. Tried to trip me on numerous occasions." Kagome couldn't help but let out a giggle. "Perhaps we should have Miroku exercise it then?"
Letting out a chuckle the older demon bid her good day as he continued on with what he was doing before her little interruption. Letting out a sigh of relief Kagome started toward the staircase once again.
Witnessing the whole thing Sesshoumaru growled inwardly. He was going to catch her but stopped mid-stride when he saw his father approaching first. From the look on her face he knew she wasn't expecting his father. Waiting for the opportunity to present itself, he came closer to her small form.
Reaching out he wrapped a clawed hand around her upper arm before pulling her, well more like dragged her, into his room.
"You know this is the second time you have done that today!"
Narrowing his eyes he roughly slung her arm out of his grasp. "Do you find it that hard to follow instructions?"
"Excuse me? What are you talking about!" inspecting her arm for damage; she felt his claws pierce her skin when he jerked away.
"I assume you are hard of hearing now as well."
"Sesshoumaru, I have no idea what you are talking about." Her scent held no trace of an attempt to deceive him; he knew she wasn't lying but he also knew she hear what he had told her earlier today.
The sound of a tongue clicking escaped from his mouth "I said no earlier or later then 6 pm did I not?"
Pinching the bridge of her nose Kagome tried to calm the anger that was rising in her. "I came here with Sango and the guys Sesshoumaru. Whom you are currently keeping me from as well as my portion of the ice cream!"
Without flinching he had her bent over his computer desk; pulling her right arm up behind her as far as possible. "You need to learn how to listen. Do you know the position you put me in earlier?"
"If you didn't want me her any earlier because that…that…. Barbie Doll was still going to be here, well… that really isn't my problem now is it?"
She knew he was trying to keep in control of his anger but at this point she didn't care about his feelings for once. She was tired of being put last, tried of being in pain because of his selfishness.
"Sesshoumaru, let me go…please. It's obvious no matter how much we tried to avoid one another; we always find a way to cross each others path." Feeling him release her arm Kagome slow stood; turning to face him.
He knew she was right but by demon law she was still his no matter if he choose to bed others or not. Kagome had come to accept this but the others… they wouldn't understand. Releasing his hold on her Sesshoumaru plopped down in a chair; holding his head between his knees.
Kneeling down in front of the man whom had just pinned her to a desk just moments ago; gently placing her hands on the sides of his face she lifted his eyes to meet hers. He opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by a finger coming in contact with his lips.
"I don't think I could bare loosing you as a friend Sesshoumaru. I just want our friendship to go back to the way it was before that night. I know you don't want me in that way; I'm still accepting this, but in time I'm sure it'll get over it. But it's not fair that you have the luxury of seeing whom ever you desire and I get punished for just being in the presents of another male."
Pulling his face away from her hands; taking a few seconds to let her words sink in, he knew what she was asking from him but he would not release his hold on her. His beast had claimed her and wouldn't allow this; at least that was the reason he was telling himself.
"Leave." That really wasn't the answer she was expecting; cocking her head to the side she sent him a dumb founded look.
"So you are hard of hearing after all. I've had my fill of words from women today. Now leave."

Wiping her eyes with the back of her hand Kagome tried to make herself look normal before entering Inuyashas room again. Noticing the added body in the room Kagome figured Onigumo had shown up while she was dealing with Mr. Moody. Forcing a smile on her face she walked over to the couch before plopping down.
"Fucking took you long enough! How long does it take to get a fucking spoon!"
"Inuyasha…." Flattening his eats against his head he know to back off, the tone in her voice was enough to let him know what was going to happen if he didn't.
"So did you bring it or not? I'm starting to have with-drawls over here!"
His famous grin appeared on his lips; holding up a brown bad Onigumo wave it in the air before tossing it in Inuyashas direction.
Watching him with curiously Kagome guessed Inu was pleased with what ever Oni had brought him. Walking over to the couch opposite from where the girls were seated Inuyasha emptied the contents of the bag unto the coffee table.
Despite how innocent her friends made her out to be Kagome knew what was in those tiny little baggies. Picking one up; ignoring the looks from her friends Kagome started smashing the white balls until they no longer stuck together.
Taking the bag out of Kagomes hand Miroku tossed it to Inuyasha "Uhm, kags, I really don't think you want any of this."
She could feel the tears begin to form in her eyes; why must every one tell her what she does and does not want? "Why? Because I'm just an innocent little girl who needs everyone to watch out for her?"
Inuyasha ignored everything around him; he maybe half demon, but his hearing was almost that of a full. He knew what had kept her from returning before the ice cream melted; why she had hesitated to leave the room for another spoon. Hell he would have gone in her place if she had only asked.
He knew his brother cared for her but he didn't deserve her love that she so willingly gave him. Sure he was considered somewhat the clown of the group; but he knew more than he let on. He was going to question her about Sesshoumarus heat cycles when he caught her alone, but by the looks of things; his interrogation would have to be postponed.
Pulling a credit card out of his wallet he began chopping and making thin white lines. Rolling his eyes he scowled at the people around him. "Would you guys just leave her alone." Tossing a rolled up dollar her way; Kagome looked at him like he had lost his mind.
"If you want to do it then do it. I ain't gonna stop you." Jumping up quickly Inuyasha dodged an air born Sango.
Looking at the hand made pipe Kagome ignored the arguing behind her. She needed an outlet a way to escape what she was feeling at this very moment. Knowing that her friends were just looking out for her; she silently thanked them. Forcing her watery eyes shut Kagome did the only thing she could do…. she sniffed.

Ok before anyone even asks... NO, I am not making Kagome into a coke head. I just needed to add an element to the story.
And Sesshoumaru is acting the way he is because well...
