Jade the Fairyness no no! see Dan was angry that Kagome was kissing because he was jealous that she could come into there lives and so quickly snag someone so high up as Sesshoumaru while he was stuck just being the son of Mildred…I'm REALLY sorry if I didn't make that clear enough, I'll try to make everything more understandable in the future. Thank you for pointing out that flaw in the story to me: )
Thanks again for all the reviews! I have over 800! That is amazing, that you guys so much!
Kagome slowly opened her eyes, pain shooting though her head. 'Where am I?' she questioned looking around confused.
Again a sharp pain rose from the back of her head and spread all the way to the bottom of her toes. Groaning Kagome reached up to find the culprit of her discomfort.
Brining her hand back she was surprised to see a sticky red liquid covering her hand, instantly recognizing it as blood.
Suddenly last nights memories came flooding back to her, from her fight with Dan all the way back to Sesshoumaru's kiss. Even in her current disposition, Kagome couldn't help but smile. Although she wouldn't admit it to herself, she had always known that she had liked Sesshoumaru, maybe even loved him. The way he portrayed himself was intriguing to her, and now that she had finally peeled away his layers, she really liked the person she found.
'What do I do though?' Kagome thought desperately. 'I can't show this wound to Aunt Mildred, there is no way in Hell she would believe my side of the story. Knowing her she would probably think I got into a rumble with another girl at the party and ship me away to some anger management clinic, claiming that I was abusing drugs or something.'
Taking a deep sigh, Kagome slowly rose to her feet taking a few moments to stabilize her on the table as the spinning black dots slowly disappeared.
It was a slow journey back to her room. Continuously having to dodge into abandoned rooms and halls so she would not be spotted by her Aunt's many servants. The journey ended up taking more energy then she suspected.
Finally reaching her room Kagome closed the door, locking it securely behind her. Walking into the elegant bathroom springing out from the left wall, Kagome locked that door also. 'I can never be too safe in this house.' Kagome thought angrily looking into the mirror. It was worse then she had imagined.
Her left eye was turning a deep shade of purple, and was beginning to swell. Hair, matted with dried blood, flew around her face wildly in a mass of knots and tangles. Her lip was puffy and had a large crack in it and was still bleeding freely, making a small river of blood down her chin.
Picking up a wash cloth, she let warm water flow freely onto it from the faucet. After she was satisfied with the amount of water, Kagome raised the cloth to her bloody lip and cringed as they met with a stinging sensation.
Walking over to the clear shower in the corner of the room, Kagome turned on the hot water faucet and let the water begin to warm; still holding the damp cloth to her lip.
Quickly undressing herself Kagome stepped under the steaming water. Satisfied with the fact that her lip had finally stopped bleeding, Kagome let the used washcloth fall to the bottom of the shower. Relaxing as the warm water embraced her into its comforting arms Kagome let her mind drift away.
She felt as if her life was spinning out of controll, and there was nothing she could do to make it stop. Her mind Flew from her current situation, to her Aunt, to Dan, to Sesshoumaru, and finally to her newly deceased parents. The touchy subject brought a single cold tear to the surface and Kagome willingly let it escape her large gray eyes.
Kagome laughed at herself as a simple thought came to her mind. 'I never thought I would think this, but I'm actually looking forward to school restarting this year.'
The weeks passed slowly after that. Kagome closed herself away in her room, practicing her lines and refusing to come out or see anyone. Her eye healed quicker then she had expected, but she was not displeased that her eye would be for the most part completely healed for the school year.
Finally the morning came where Kagome would be returning back to Shikon Boarding School.
Waking up late, Kagome scrambled up and with lightning speed changed and put her hair up in a loose ponytail so she wouldn't miss the bus back to the school. Luckily, the school had picked up her traveling bags the night before so she wouldn't be unconvinced with having to drag them down to the extravagant buss stop.
Dashing out the door, Kagome didn't even bother to say goodbye to anyone. 'Not like they would miss me.' Kagome thought bitterly jumping down the stone steps and racing to the gate.
Kagome rounded the corner only to see the bus pulling away in a cloud of smog.
"Wait!" Kagome yelled running after it, but it was already too late. It was gone.
Slowing down Kagome let out a groan. She walked slowly to the side of the road and plopped down on a cold rock.
'Well this is just fabulous.' She thought sarcastically putting her head in her hands. 'I think I'll wait awhile before I go back to the house… I can wait on seeing Mildred's smug look when I tell her what happened. Then I can get a grand lecture on how irresponsible I am and how I need to grow up and-WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!'
Kagome jumped up eyes wide as the bush behind her began to rustle. Jumping out in all it's innocence a small brown squirrel looked at her with confused eyes.
Glaring down at the squirrel Kagome growled at it. "Run along little Satan squirrel before I-"
"Lowered to threatening defenseless squirrels I see" said an amused voice from behind her.
Whipping around Kagome was surprised to lock into the eyes of none other then Inu-Yasha. Even though Kagome did hate to admit it, he did look handsome. Dressed in all black leather, it gave him the look of a true bad boy. A midnight black biking helmet was pulled over his head, with his long silver hair pulled up into it. Seeing the biking helmet finally alerted Kagome to the slick black motorcycle he was riding. It was polished nicely and shone brightly in the winter sunlight.
Kagome was in no mood for anyone right now and before she could help herself the words slipped out of her mouth. "Well I suppose I could always lower to threatening someone as defenseless as you."
Right as she said it she immediately took it back. "AH! I'm sry Inu-Yasha…it's just been a long morning. I missed the bus so now I have to go beg my Aunt for a ride…"
Inu-Yasha laughed. "Don't worry about it, and here." He said pulling out another helmet and throwing it at her. "Put this on. I'll give you a ride."
Kagome caught the helmet but stood her ground hesitantly. "Is that thing…safe?"
Inu-Yasha just laughed. "It's perfectly safe, now quit being such a little girl and get on."
Kagome stuck out her tongue at him but complied.
"Hold on tight!" Inu-Yasha yelled and he quickly sped away, spinning his tires as he went. To his satisfaction, Inu-Yasha felt Kagome hold close to him and he smirked. 'Oh won't Sesshoumaru be pleased to know that his little Kagome rode so close to me all the way home? No matter what he says I know he cares more for her then he would ever show… Oh Sesshoumaru what would you think now to know that your little brother is finally somewhere that you could not possibly attain…but why does this feel so much better then when I'm holding Kikyo?' His smile widened as his motorcycle gained speed.
Finally getting off the motorcycle Kagome stretched her back. Inu-Yasha had definitely not slowed for a second for the entire journey, causing Kagome to cling to him the whole time. Moving her arms around to get the blood pumping in them again Kagome thanked him for the ride.
"It definitely was different." She said handing him back his helmet laughing.
Taking the helmet from Kagome, Inu-Yasha allowed his hand to linger on her hand for a few moments, smiling at her brilliantly. "We should hang out sometime Kagome." He said flipping his helmet's visor up so she could see his face.
Quickly Kagome let her hand drop away from his. "Maybe, it's really all going to depend on how my classes keep going. I really appreciate the ride though, you were a huge help."
"Don't mention it; really it was no problem at all." Inu-Yasha stated taking her hand in his. Slowly he brought her hand up to his mouth and placed a simple kiss on her silky skin. "Until we next meet." He said starting the engine up again and flying away in a mass of squealing tires and wind.
Kagome stood her ground and uncomfortable feeling in the pit of her stomach. Looking around, she just couldn't kill the feeling that she was being watched.
Heading toward the dorms Kagome could feel a large smile spread across her features, all because she knew that a certain stubborn boy would be up in there dorm waiting for her.
High up in the large dorm window Kikyou glared down at the pretty girl.
'How dare she!' her mind screamed. 'Inu-Yasha is mine! I claimed him for my own and he will NOT wander to this puny girl…'
Suddenly a plan came to mind, causing her to break into an evil smile. Darting up the large marble stairs only one thought was on her mind. 'Boy do I have a juicy story to tell Sesshoumaru…'
Sesshoumaru was resting comfortably on a cushy couch in his dorm living room, perfectly content with staring out the window and letting his mind wander; when suddenly a harsh knock came to the door.
Sesshoumaru smirked. 'That foolish girl must have lost her key.' He thought standing up.
Anxiously, Sesshoumaru walked to the door.
He had thought about this moment for what seemed like years. That kiss he had given Kagome was unexpected even to himself. How could he explain to her these unknown feelings he had been having toward her lately? How could he tell her that he had missed her over the days she had been locked up in her Aunt's house?
'I'm being foolish and jumping to conclusions.' He scolded himself. 'This girl doesn't mean anything special to me, she's just another pretty face in a sea of conformity….but…there's just something different about her…something I can't explain…I need to talk to her.'
Whipping the door open, Sesshoumaru's eyes met a sight he had not been expecting. It was Kikyou.
Leaning on the side of the doorway she looked up at him with a smug sparkle in her eyes.
"What do you want Kikyou?" Sesshoumaru asked coldly, not wanting anything to do with her.
"My, my Sesshoumaru, there really is no need for you to be so hostile, especially when I came all the way up here to deliver you such delicious news." She purred stepping closer to him. "May I come in?"
Sesshoumaru just looked down at her coldly. "Whatever you need to say to me can be said out here." He stated with authority standing his ground.
Kikyou pouted up at him. "Fine, have it your way." She said adjusting to a more alluring position. "Well, you didn't hear it form me, but I just saw Inu-Yasha pull up to school on his motorcycle."
Sesshoumaru snorted. "Congratulations, my brother does have a tendency to ride his motorcycle. That and little whores such as you that give there body freely."
Kikyou didn't even blink at his insult. "Let me finish dear-heart. The big news wasn't that Inu-Yasha was riding his motorcycle. It was his companion who was riding ever so close behind him, clinging ever so tightly to his body." Sesshoumaru was suddenly very interested in what she had to say. She had him in the palm of her hand; she could bend him or break him. The decision was all up to her….And she liked it.
"You see, little miss. Thing, Kagome, was riding right behind him. And that's not all. After he dropped her off he kissed her, and she didn't even bother to pull away. Last I saw her she was walking back to the dorms with the largest grin imaginable on her face."
Kikyou smiled as she intertwined her words around and around to make the story the one she wanted to tell, all without having to lie. Because in all truth, Inu-Yasha DID kiss Kagome, but she couldn't help it if she simply forgot to mention which part of her body he actually kissed.
The look on Sesshoumaru's face was something Kikyou would never forget. For the tiniest fraction of a second, he let his emotions show. Hurt, anger, and betrayal wove through his angelic features, then just as suddenly as they had appeared, they were gone.
"Thank you for this information Kikyou, but you forget. I could careless about my idiot brother Inu-Yasha or the trivial people that surround him." Then with a sharp snap, Sesshoumaru slammed the door in her face.
'Oh but Sesshoumaru, you DO care. You care more then I think you will ever let on.' Then with a devious smile, Kikyou retreated back down the stairs and out the front doors. This should be interesting to see play out.
