Ring Ring Ring Riiiiiiiiiiiing

Kagome was rudely awakened out of her happily dreamless sleep, "Damn it shut up!" She picked up her alarm clock and through it across the room so it hit the wall. It was Monday morning but she had no intention of going to school.

She tried to go back to sleep but her alarm started going off again in the corner. She sighed and sat up. Apparently there was no way God was going to let her sleep.

She walked downstairs to get some breakfast. "Mom!" She walked into the kitchen, "Mom?" She looked around but the person in question was nowhere to be found. "Where is she?" Kagome's mom hadn't been home all day Sunday and hadn't even bothered to call to tell Kagome where she was. Kag tried to call her mom once but her phone was off. She would have thought her mother would definitely be home by now.

She picked up the phone and dialed her mom's cell number. It rang three times until a voice was heard on the other end of the phone, "Hello?"

"Mom where are you? I haven't seen you since Thursday night!" She had a worried tone in her voice as she looked down at her arm as she remembered all the events of Saturday. She had slept all of Sunday and only got up to eat, pee and unplug the phone the first time someone called.

"Honey don't you remember? I told you that I had a business trip and that I was going to be back in a week and a half." It sounded like her mom covered the phone to talk to one of her employers for a second or to.

When it sounded like her attention was diverted back to Kagome she started to talk, "But Mom I—"

"Kagome, dear, you're sixteen I think you can handle everything while I'm gone okay? There is plenty of food in the fridge so you'll be all right. If you get lonely you are welcome to stay over at any of your friends houses but if you don't go to school I will be angry. Don't take advantage of the fact I'm gone and skip out on school. When I get back I will make sure to call your principal to make sure you went everyday an—"

"I know mom, but I—" She sighed as her mom just kept talking.

"Oh sweetie, I have to go, my boss is here. I'll call you later okay? I love you and I'm trusting you to not do anything naughty. Bye honey!" She heard the click on the other end.

"Don't be naughty huh? Sorry mom…no can do," she said to the phone as if it could hear her and respond.

She also remembered that her mom said she had to go to school. She looked at the clock on the microwave, "Oh crap! I'm soooo late!" She realized that school started in ten minutes as she ran upstairs to put on a black mini skirt and the tightest red tank top she owned. She also decided to put on red stiletto heels to make her rise for inches. There was none of her stomach showing as to not show any of the healing injuries. She also put on her 400 dollar black, leather jacket to cover up her arms. She applied face make-up to her face to cover the scratches and bruises. There were still faint colorings where the bruises were and her skin lightly rose up on the spots where the too gashes were healing.

She looked pretty decent.

"Good job Kagome." She thought as she looked in the mirror, also scanning the room to make sure she was the only one there. She decided on dark, black eye shadow and some bright red lipstick. "Even better job…" She was proud of herself as she posed for the 'camera'.

Her smile dissipated when thoughts of how Sesshomaru would look at her popped into her head. She imagined his perverted smile… him walking to her with his arms out… the walls closing in on her from all sides… the cold stone of the barricade against her back… the feel of his harsh lips that he forced against hers…

Nowhere to go…

Her eyes turned to glass and her whole body started to shake as she could feel the death grip of his arms around her. She gasped for breath as his hand seemed so real clasped around her neck. Kagome started scratching at her collar before she realized nothing was there.

She looked down and the arms she had felt around her waist only moments before weren't there any more. She blinked twice and concluded that she was the only one in the room.

She was still afraid to look in the mirror again, though. On Saturday night she continually looked in the mirror, only to see him standing behind her, laughing at her, taunting her. She would close her eyes and count to ten in hopes to not see him there when she opened her eyes, but he was only closer to her each time she looked. She figured she had gone insane that night, but when she awoke from being passed out of the bathroom floor, she was fine.

How come she kept having these hallucinations?

What if Inuyasha was right? What if he had broken her mind? What if… what if he had made her insane?

No… that couldn't happen to her could it? She had read about people who had horrible traumatic experiences and often relived them in dreams and in sometimes even in real life. They would keep seeing it and feeling it until they were eventually just labeled as crazy.

Her eyes widened in realization that she could be one of those people. "But… but…"

She was going to fall on the floor in panic-ridden shock if she kept thinking about this. She had to get her mind off it all somehow…

"Guys, here I come…"

She grabbed her pack, ran down the stairs and then out the door.

She ran down the street, which proved to be increasingly difficult because of her four-inch, pointed stilettos.

She almost impaled a pigeon with her heel as she abruptly stopped in front a shopping center. One of the stores had caught her eye. "Tae kwon doe self defense classes…" She had to have gone by that place six thousand times but never gave it a second thought.

"Huh. Sounds like fun," she said to the pigeon she almost stabbed as she walked up to the building.

Rin looked around the giant congregation area of the school. Every highschooler should have been there because this morning was a rally, and it was mandatory. She saw no Kagome in sight. "Maybe she died," she smiled outwardly at the thought. She knew it was highly unlikely that that was the case, but hey.

One could dream.

Rin was sitting next to Kikyo on the bleachers and some of her other friends that were gossiping about something or another. When Kagome's name came up, she decided to listen in on exactly what they were talking about.

"Yea! I heard that she was the total slut of the party! Though I don't see how that's possible for little miss perfect and oh so abstinent. I couldn't go because I got stuck babysitting my brat of a bother…" Yura thought of Kagome in all of her perfectness. It was so irritating that someone so unpopular could become the star of the frikking world within one summer.

"I heard she was making out with every guy that she came in contact with at the party."

"I don't think she had time to! I saw her in the corner practically having sex with her boyfriend on the floor!"

"Yea and I saw him carrying her up the STAIRS! She was topless too!"

Yura looked at her best friends Ayumi and Eri in disbelief, "She was topless! Are you sure?" Even how much she didn't like Kagome's stardom, she still knew Kag was a nice girl and far from a slut.

"She was dancing on a table like that too! Her boobs were bouncing all over the place and all the guys were completely drooling." She said that last part with spite in her voice.

Heck, who wouldn't?

"Oh my Gosh! I wish I could have been there… Hey! Do you think that they… her and Sesshomaru I mean, actually did it up in the rooms of Rin's house?"

"I bet they were doing more than the nasty up there!"

Rin was listening to the conversation of the girls with great interest. She decided to join, "I wouldn't doubt it. With what a whore she is and all…"

"Come on Rin, Kagome's not a slut is she? I never would have thought that about her, she's so nice!"

Those words hurt Rin's ears like acid, "You haven't been her best friend for the past six months! You don't know what she does on the sidelines." She inwardly smiled as she was crumbling Kagome's reputation right under her nose. If Rin knew these girls, everything they were talking about right now would be all over the school two periods from now.

Perfect.

"Look there she is!" Kagome had just arrived into the school auditorium 20 minutes late. Lucky for her they hardly ever started on time. She was breathing heavily and holding her stomach in pain from the wounds. Though they were healing, they still hurt with her breathing so hard. Her hair was a mess by now; it was all win-blown from running the great distance.

"Why do you think she's late?"

"She probably just got back from a late night whore fest with a boy toy she picked up at a bar last night and forgot she had to go to school. I mean just look at her hair! It's not even brushed! And look at the bright red lipstick, I bet he was a French guy. They get off on that sort of thing."

Rin rolled her eyes at their accusations. She knew they weren't true, but it's not like she was going to stop them from telling everyone.

"Oh my Gosh! And look at how she's holding her stomach! Don't only pregnant people do that?"

"Are you saying you think she's PREGNANT?"

"I wonder which of the Taisho's baby it is?"

Eri, Yura, and even Rin looked at Ayumi in disbelief and wide-eyes expressions. Even Rin hadn't heard this piece of gossip, and she knew absolutely everything all the time.

"What do you mean?" Rin asked in a genuinely interested tone.

"Well my sister's friend's brother's girlfriend who lives next to the Taisho's told him who told her who told her who told me that she saw Inuyasha pick up Kagome out of his car… bridal style…and brought her into his house."

"So what your saying Ayumi, is that she screwed that preppy boyfriend of hers and then went to go have sex with his brother the same night?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying."

"Wow, is she whoryer than I thought or is she whoryer than I thought?"

"I always knew she was a slut, I was just waiting for her to get caught in the act."

"Oh me too."

"Yea definitely."

Rin yet again rolled her eyes at what they were saying. They were up and defending her a second ago, and it just amazed her that a few fake lines of gossip coming from her mouth could change their opinions about Kagome in a period of three minutes.

Basically…

It was awesome.

Kagome looked around the auditorium and was breathing heavily out of pain and tiredness. She spotted Rin talking to Yura and gang in the far left corner.

No… she didn't want to sit with them. After that conversation with herself she determined Rin was pure evil. There was no way she was going to trust her again.

She kept looking around the mass of about seven hundred HS students when her eyes were drawn to Inuyasha. The second she found him, his eyes found her too. It seemed like they were starring at each other forever, each trying to make their eyes emotionless with the absence of all feeling they might have toward each other, though both actually contained a lot.

Kagome forced her eyes away from him, as his face seemed to take the form of Sesshomaru's for just a second. She wondered if that would happen to her when she looked at all guys…

"Kagome! Kagoomeeeee!" She was snapped out of her thoughts as she saw Sango standing and madly waving her arms near the middle of the stadium. She noticed that Ayame and Koga were busily talking beside her as well. "Hmm I didn't know that he and Ayame were friends." Kagome thought as she started walking up the steps to talk with her friends.

"Ahhh Kags! I tried to call you all weekend! Where were you?" Sango jumped up to hug her best friend.

"Oh uhh… I was out." She slightly gave an unnoticeable wince as her best friend hugged her with the force of Sango.

"Oh I'm sorry Kag, did I hurt you? I didn't think I was hugging you that hard," she said as she noticed the girl's twitch at her touch.

"No don't worry it's just kind of cold in here is all, I'm kind of shivering a little bit I guess."

Sango didn't really believe that seeing as how Kagome was wearing a leather jacket that looked all warm and comfy. Sango was only wearing a tank top and she wasn't cold at all. Speaking of that jacket…

"Wow you look hott Kags!" This was more or less how she normally dressed, but it wasn't normal for her to whip out her favorite red stilettos and the bright red lipstick.

"I do don't I? Well more than normal any way…" Sango raised an eyebrow. Was it her or did that sound a little too conceited for Kagome to say? She let it go.

"Looking to snag a guy?" She said teasingly. She knew that Kagome and Sesshomaru were happy and would probably be thus for a long time.

"Exactly," she looked at Sango nonchalantly.

Sango's eyes widened, "Wait what happened between you and Sesshomaru? You looked pretty cuddly together the night of Rin's party." She said the last part trying to sound sly though she didn't get the giggle out of Kagome like she would have liked. She didn't even get a response at all, no facial expression or anything. "Did something happen?"

"I guess you could say that…" Sango noticed the fact that there was no emotion whatsoever in her best friend's eyes. She figured it must have been a bad breakup. Well it's not like she wanted her best friend to focus on that more than she had to.

She changed the subject.

"Well okay if you say so. So who do you think that you'll be going after now?" She noticed some sort of weirdness going on with Kagome's face. It looked like she had cut herself shaving… and accidentally punched herself in the face… "Uhhh Kags? What's with your face?" Sango asked before Kagome could answer her previous question.

It was too late though, she was already talking Koga who was sitting next to her and the Ayame on the other side of him. "Well I guess that answers my first question," she said to herself while giving Ayame a sympathetic look.

Ayame looked like she might cry as Koga turned around to completely ignore her.

"Hey Koga," Kagome said as she curled her lips into her signature smile. She was sitting next to him so she put her arms around his waist into a sort of sitting-down-hug-thinger.

He did the same, but instead of letting her go he slid her into his lap and she giggled with a small amount of pain in it as well. She laid her head against his chest and just soaked in the warmth of his body.

She felt secure in his grasp; she found that only a fraction of her brain was back with Sesshomaru, but most of it was centered on Koga, which was most definitely a good thing. If she kept this up, maybe all of it would be directed toward him.

"So how are you Kags? You're looking especially gorgeous today." While saying this he poked his index finger onto her butt. She giggled at his touch this time and it made him sport a true smile.

Ayame was watching their little display holding back tears. It broke her heart how he smiled at Kagome like that, knowing that she would never get that same smile. He hadn't said she was gorgeous, he hadn't pulled her into a hug, let alone into his lap, he hadn't poked her butt while asking how she was! Why did Kagome have to come? Everything was going great before she decided to talk to him!

She felt bad about what she was thinking about Kagome, it wasn't her fault that she was so gorgeous and popular. She was just sad that Koga didn't think of her the way he obviously thought of her best friend.

Well at least Kagome didn't think of him the same way.

0O)o0o)O)o0O)o0O)o0O)o0o)O0o)O0o0O0o0O)o0O)o0O)o0o0O0o0O)o0O)O0o0o)O)

The rest of Kagome's day went pretty okay. She had made sure to get a schedule change so she didn't have any classes with Rin and Sesshomaru. She had told them she was getting harassed by the people in the classes she was already in, so they gave her a change. Lucky her, Sess and Rin weren't in any of her new classes.

It was the last class of the day, which she made sure to remain unchanged. Sango and Ayame were in her last class and she wanted to keep it that way. The bad thing was that Inuyasha was also in that class, she didn't mind it as much as she would have in Sesshomaru were in that class, but it still slightly bothered her.

It was about half way through class and she found herself as bored as frikken heck. In her boredom her thoughts drifted to Inuyasha, whose eyes she could feel on her from the seat next to hers.

She wanted to turn to him and tell him to look at someone else, but she didn't really want to look at him. She had been pissed, and slightly hurt, ever since he had refused her that day at his house. She had even tried to apologize but he hadn't even let her! Who did he think he was?

Hadn't he said he wanted to help her? He was so close to making her forget… and then what did he do? He kicked her out of his house!

"He was so close…" She thought about how happy she was when they were together in his bed. Her thoughts were almost completely rid of Sesshomaru… but then he just got up and told her how Sesshomaru had made her insane…how he had broken her mind…

"Sesshomaru broke you, Kagome. He broke your mind…He took the Kag I loved, killed her, threw her in a river, and put a weird, creepy, Rin-like, sluttish one in her place. And I don't like her. I don't like her at all…"

Kagome's eyes were brimming with tears but she refused to let them fall. "Well maybe the new Kagome doesn't care if you like her or not…"

She remembered how much that hurt when he said that. It just proved even more how he couldn't be trusted.

Thinking about him mad her sick to her stomach. "Excuse me, Miss Tsuzuki? May I leave the classroom?"

"Yes of course Miss Higurashi. May I ask why you need to leave?"

"I uhh… feel sick to my stomach. I need to go to the restroom." It wasn't completely a lie, she did feel icky.

"Sure you'll just need a pass and—or not." She had no time to finish as Kagome ran out of the room clutching her stomach.

Now she really did feel like she needed to throw up. It kinda pissed her off that the bathroom was completely at the other end of the school from where she was. "They really oughtta have more bathrooms in this place…"

She noted that the halls were completely empty. "Wow… how slightly creepy…" It was perfectly quiet as she walked down the deserted hallway. She remembered them putting up an announcement about new soundproof doors.

That was probably why it was so quiet.

She felt like testing them. She kicked a locker as hard as she could right outside one of the classes. Not so much as one head turned in her direction. "Wow. Neat."

She continued walking down the hall until she heard a noise coming from the next section of lockers. She figured she could maybe hang out with who ever it was for awhile, she had no intention of going back to class or to the bathroom now that the entertainment of the lockers and sound proof doors drew her mind from her stomach. She didn't even really remember why she was going to the bathroom at all anymore.

"Hey who's there?" There was no reply as she walked up more to the lockers yet noises kept coming. "Helloooooo?"

Yet again she was kind of entertained at the sound of the echos throughout the halls. She had never been in the halls before when there was the absence of a single soul but two.

It was bothering her that the person wasn't responding and at this rate it would take forever to get to the mystery man/woman!

So she sprinted.

"So close… just gotta turn this corner and…"

BAM!

She had run at full blast straight into a muscular chest. "Oww…" She doubled over in pain. She could feel the wounds from her stomach opening and she just imagined the blood seeping through the bandages… good thing she wore red today.

She looked up at the jerk that didn't even say sorry. When her eyes met his, her breath caught in her throat and her eyes widened.

How could he have finally found her? She had been so careful to avoid him all day…

She noticed he was starring down at her skirt, so short it was showing her underwear from the position she was in on the ground. She quickly pulled it down.

She knew she shouldn't have worn such a revealing skirt today! She looked around but them being the only two in the halls, there was nothing to divert his attention from her. The whole day when she saw him she would simply hide behind one of her friends… but now it was only the two of them.

Why wouldn't he say anything?

What was he thinking…

What was her going to do to her?

He offered his hand to her and she took it without really thinking. Her mind was to concerned with how much trouble she was in.

She looked down not able to make eye contact with the man in front of her. Maybe if she just sprinted down the hall he'd forget that he even saw her? Yea right… as if her now opened wounds would let her even jog much less sprint.

Her muscles tightened as he opened to his mouth to speak. "Kagome… that is a very short skirt…"

She finally looked at him and smiled weakly, "Yes I know, I'm sorry Principal Nobunaga."

He smile sweetly at her, which, in turn, made her smile a little stronger. He really was a kind principal but he was always catching her for dress code. The last time he caught her swore the next time would be a suspension. "Kagome this is the second time I have caught you this month and it is only the 9th! You have been out of dress code at least a dozen times this year. It seems as though the referrals aren't effecting you at all so—"

"No please. Sir, I know that I haven't exactly been the best at this modesty thing, but please just give me one more chance! I swear that I… that I…" something suddenly struck her mind. She slyly smiled inwardly.

"Miss Kagome are you alright?" He put a worried hand on her shoulder.

"Yes I just…" Her face then contorted in pain with the excellent skills of an actress. Oh and the fact that she was actually in a crapload of aching hurt… just not as much as she was laying on.

She held her stomach and doubled over onto the ground. As she fell she made an over dramatic sigh as she pretended to faint, pulling her shirt up just enough, to wear he would be able to see the blood soaked bandages.

She tuned out his frantic yelling probably at the sight of her wounds as she thought proudly to herself, "Man… if THAT didn't make him forget my violation.. nothing will…"

Preview of next chapter:

… If that son of a bitch was responsible for this he would kill him on spot. No questions! But Koga was not the type to spread false testimony. He wouldn't snitch on Sesshomaru if he wasn't entirely sure it was true…

…"But what! It doesn't really matter but what because you still did It Inuyasha! I'm pretty sure that no reason you have will justify what you did to her!"…

…"No stop it please!" I started hitting his chest with my fists as much as I could. "Not again… please not again… just let me go!" I started shaking, and even screaming and crying as the images of him were still making their way through my head…

yea… you want that… then:

REVIEW! PLZZZZ!
