Thoughts

*Sesshomaru's POV*

Hmm......She's interesting. I've known her for as long as my little HALF brother has bothered her. I wouldn't admit it out loud but she's sort of like me. She doesn't let stupid emotions bother her or at least she hides them very well. Then why was she crying? I'm not as heartless as most people think I am. Sure I act cold to most people but that doesn't mean I hate them...well the majority of the time.

I probably shouldn't give Kagome that much credit though. She's most likely not much stronger than the average weakling. Whatever, I shouldn't bother myself with stupid insignificant things.

-------------

My students aren't doing that bad..........naturally since I'm their teacher. But still it's only their second lesson. Most of them are progressing well except for Kagome.

"Kagome you will be practicing with me." I saw a blush adorn her cheeks. Why was she blushing? "Your partner will go with that boy with the ponytail." "What? Wait! NOT MIROKU PLEASE!" I watched as a rather happy looking boy pulled the black and magenta haired girl to the other end of the gym.

"That's not proper form." I said as I adjusted her arms. She blushed again. Why did she keep doing that! It was starting to get a bit annoying. "Stop doing that." I almost commanded in a composed voice. "Stop doing what?" "Blushing" "I'm not blushing." She simply stated. "Well you were." "Whatever."

*Kagome's POV*

Why did I blush? I don't blush I ignore! Stupid face of mine...reddening whenever he calls my name or touches my arm. Maybe it's because he actually acted nice to me. I KNOW I don't like him well at least in the girl boy way. I just know I don't. He's too stoic like me. Oh well looks like I'm not a very likeable person. At least not on the outside.

"Hey wait up!" I hear someone yell. As I turn around I see a very pissed off Sango jogging towards me with a cheerful looking um.....Miroku? (Yah I think that's his name) walking quickly behind her. "Hi Sango. Why is the perverted guy following you and why are you so peeved?" "Guess." "Um let me think he groped you for the 10th time today?" "Wow you must be psychic or something! By the way can I get a ride again?" "Sure"

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Sango yelled straight into my ear. "Sadly, I'm not here to talk to you dear Sango. I just wanted to ask Kagome if I could get a ride." No surprise he knows my name. Sango gave me a if u give him a ride I swear I'll get you back for it really badly glare right at that moment. To get her back for yelling in my ear .... "Sure Miroku why not. You can sit in the back seat with Sango. You know she's been talking about you so often lately." "Oh really? What has she been saying?" "Oh things like...mhfmfmfm" Sango covered my mouth so that I couldn't finish what I was saying. I think she got the vibe that I was going to make up a bunch of nasty lies about how she loves him.

Amazingly Miroku (and his hands) didn't even get within 30cm of Sango during the whole ride. It probably had something to do with the fact that Sango looked like she could slaughter an army. I dropped Miroku off first. He thanked me and gave Sango a wink before getting out of my car. I dropped off Sango and drove straight home.

As I turned the corner I could see an ambulance and a bunch of police cars parked in front of my house. I started panicking! Had something happened to mom, dad, Souta?

I parked my car on the opposite side of the street and walked over to a policeman. "What happened?" "I'm sorry miss this area is off limits." "But I live here." The policeman stayed quiet for a moment before saying in a depressing tone "I'm sorry miss. Mr. Higurashi was killed by a robber earlier this afternoon."

"What?" I saw a blanket of darkness engulf me.

My eyes gradually opened. I saw a face. It was my mom. She looked gloomy and tired. "Mom!" I wailed. I just sobbed into her shoulder until I fell asleep.

*~Dream~*

I look around.

I'm in a field.

There are pink and orange flowers everywhere.

It's unbelievably sunny.

I have to shade my eyes with my hand to see.

My dad is standing a couple of meters away from me.

He starts running.

I try to run after him but someone is holding me back.

I turn around to see who it is.

It's hard to make out who it is at first but my vision is getting clearer.

It's......its........Kikyo!

Naraku is standing beside her and they start laughing.

*~End Dream~*

AN: It was longer right?
