Play the game or let the game play you

chapter six

Sesshomaru POV

He was pissed, how could Kagome do shit like that? Leaving him disappointed. So she thought it was a game. Play the game or let the game play you huh? He frowned, girls are hard to understand. Sesshomaru saw Koga leave the gym and started after him. " Koga." Koga stopped and looked behind him. He saw Sesshomaru and grinned.

"Aye wassup G? What you doing around Shikon? Thought you was only down for West side?"

"Nothing, just out and about. Where you headed?"

"Just gonna go kick it at Seto's house, you down?"

Sesshomaru thought for a while. Well there's nothing else to do. "Who else is gonna be there?"

"Ayame is gonna bring this girl that I'm scoping, she's hott! I'll introduce ya'll, but yeah Imma make her my girl one day."

There are always girls when Koga goes somewhere, he's gonna GET with a girl though? Koga never settles for one. That thought led to Kagome. We aren't together, just flirting… "The ladies… well who else?

"Well, Seto's lil bro have some youngins, and the crew is gonna be there so yeah. Regular after-party."

"Aight" They walked to Koga's midnight blue rsx and headed to Seto's. When they got there, Sesshomaru scanned the room and saw Kagome's friend sitting on the couch. What the fuck? Is Kagome here too? He jumped on the couch and grabbed some Lays potatoe chips ignoring what Seto was saying to him. He looked up when Sango jumped and ran to the door.

Looking up, he saw Kagome walk in with Ayame. He also saw Koga give a surprised look and walk over to greet Kagome. Then a realization hit him. Koga wanted to be with Kagome? He crunched the bag and glared at the group in the hall. What the Hell?

Kagome POV

So HE is Koga, I thought he was with Ayame. How come he's hitting on me? Kagome didn't do anything but smile at him uncertainly and look from him to Ayame. He is cute and all, but damn he's conceited. She glanced at Sango and gave her a questioning look but she only got a shrug. Kagome didn't know that Mokuba and Ayame's friend, Seto, were brothers. Thank god that we aren't separated anymore. Too much hassle in finding each other. She noticed her and Miroku standing close to each other, and he wasn't even trying to grope her. Weird.

Koga led her to the couches where everyone was sitting and chatting and? Drinking? What? Is this a keg party? She met Mokuba, Anzu, Hiten, Mantan, Naraku, Kagura, Yura, Kurama, Hiei and her eyes lastly landed on Seto. She glanced at him curiously but he just glared at her coldly. She shivered and wondered why his gaze reminded her of someone else, but she couldn't put a name on whoever it was.

She quietly sat down and went into her thoughts, still wondering who his gaze reminded her of. She didn't even know that she stared at Seto. She blushed when he asked her if something was wrong. But after asking he just resumed ignoring her and questioned someone sitting across from him, right next to her. She looked up and noticed the same cold glare that Seto gave her, but this time instead of blue, she found the owner of those most gorgeous golden eyes belonged to Sesshomaru. He gave her the same glare he gave her cuts. Damn it's not like glaring at unwanted things and ah hem people will make them go away. Seto must influence Sesshomaru. She looked away and suddenly felt guilty.

Why the hell do I feel guilty? So what if Sesshomaru is here, it's not like I belong to him. With that thought she glared at Sesshomaru back. He grabbed the bag of chips and started munching ignoring Kagome. She was riled up. I don't like to be ignored! Not knowing why when Seto ignored her she didn't care, but when Sesshomaru did, it hurt a little. She huffed and grabbed a Pepsi. If Sesshomaru can ignore me then I can ignore him too!

"You're name is Kagome right?" The girl Anzu asked her. She was sitting next to Seto but she seemed a little stiff.

"Yeah and you're Anzu right? Pretty name! Apricots are delicious!" Kagome laughed out. They both smiled at each other and knew that this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

"Aww thanks," she motioned to Corona bottles, "You don't drink?"

"I tried it but, I think it's gross, do you?"

"nope, I think its disgusting," she looked at Kagome with approval and then at Yura and Kagura, "I don't know how people drink it. Ewwww"

Kagome laughed when she made a sour face. It was hot inside the house and Kagome and Anzu were already pink. The body heat didn't flow good with the summer night. "Hey you wanna go outside for a second, lets go chill on the porch, it's hella hot in here."

"For sure." She agreed as they both got up and headed towards the exit. They didn't notice that

Seto and Sesshomaru followed. Sitting on the steps they stared at the stars.

"You must hear this a lot but your eyes sparkle likes the stars." Kagome said all of a sudden. When she realized what she said, she blushed.

"Nope! No one's ever told me that, you're the first. If I didn't know better, I'd say you're trying to hit on me. But yeah thanks you're really sweet, you have beautiful blue eyes too, it reminds me of the ocean. I wish guys would say romantic stuff like that." Anzu sighed and slumped on the railing.

Kagome giggled out. "Yeah right guys are the most arrogant, insensitive, -"

"egotistic, selfish-"

"son of a- "

"slutty-"

"BITCH!" They said in unison. And laughed out loud but stopped to breathe.

"You ladies aren't calling us those labels right?" Both Kagome and Anzu turned to the two guys in the doorway. They gave each other a knowing look. Kagome wished Seto didn't lead Anzu inside because that left her with Sesshomaru. Alone. When the door closed tightly shut he went directly to Kagome.

He pushed her against the railing and leaned into her as he kissed her. He was still pissed at her and she felt his anger poured into that kiss. She felt overwhelming emotion from jealousy to affection to anger and then to making his claim. But they both knew that it wasn't claimed true until they both said it in words. When he broke the kiss they just stared at each other until she looked away. How come his gaze is so so… frustrating! Grr…

"You didn't tell me you weren't going home." His statement made her remember their last encounter at the school which brought a darker blush to her pink tinted cheeks.

"You don't need to know everything I do…" Kagome whispered out not knowing it would upset him even if he barely showed it. She dared a glance at him but couldn't read anything. He only shows emotion when he wants to. How come he's so hard to read!

"Sesshomaru?…" All he did was open the door and walk back inside the house. "Did I say something wrong." She grumbled and started after him. As she walked into the room she saw Sesshomaru sit next to a girl she didn't meet yet and she noticed Koga was coming towards her. So she stopped and waited for him.

"Kagome? Hey how come you're all by yourself? We're did your friend Sango go?" When Koga said the name Sango, she instantly scanned the room but couldn't fnd her OR Miroku. Dun Dun DUN! Surprise. Surprise.

"She's probably just in the bathroom or something." Making out with Miroku. Haha. Who ever thought… "But yeah who's that girl sitting next to Sesshomaru, you didn't introduce us yet."

Koga looked at the couple on the loveseat and back on Kagome hesitating a little. Why is he hesitating? "Oh, that's Rin, she's a softmore from West Prep, yeah I think Sesshomaru and her got a thing for each other. 'Cuz you know, dang they be sitting hella close." Koga said while staring at the duo. He didn't see Kagome swallow a lump or look down.

Sesshomaru has a-a girlfriend? And he… kissed… me.. and… OH MY GOD! She wanted to scream. What the hell has she been doing? I can't believe it! She composed herself and looked back at Koga. "Oh…" She couldn't let silence hang on like that or he would think she was jealous or something. Which of course she wasn't! Damn sraight, I'm all right, I'm cool. After all it was only flirting. He can have a thing for someone, I can too right?

"That's… cool. So who else are together here. I don't want any chick to think I was hitting on their man." She laughed out nervously. Koga just stared at her for a while and then pointed to the couch.

"Naraku is with Kagura but they got problems, Hiten was with Yura but they broke up, Seto and Anzu, I'm not sure, Mokuba isn't down for girls yet, Mantan tries but never got a girl, and everyone else are rollin solo until… well yeah…"

"What about you?" Koga asked while stepping closer, making Kagome lean into the wall to keep space between them, "Are you taken?" he moved closer so that their bodies touched. "looking?" As he leaned down and was about to kiss her, until Ayame and Sango both exclaimed how late it was and that they needed their beauty sleep making Koga pause before he reached her lips.

Kagome gasped in shock at Koga. What is he doing? She was confused. She wanted to move but she glanced at the conversing couple on the couch. Isnt revenge the thing getting her into more trouble? She didn't move, just waited and looked at Koga like he was crazy. When he paused she gave a sigh of relief and stepped out of his cornering. She also heard what Ayame and Sango said, and whole heartedly agreed.

"Yeah it's like 3:00 in the morning. I hope none of y'all have any hangovers!" Anzu said sympathetically, but everyone was already knocked out, sleeping like they were dead. She turned to Kagome and smiled. "It was nice meeting you Aquatic eyes, hope we can kick it with each other again aight?"

"For real Miss Apricot, well I'll see you later, bye and goodnight." Kagome said with a wink and a look at Seto, making Anzu blush. Ayame went out to the car and Sango went to say bye to Miroku, so she just headed out next. Sesshomaru grabbed onto her hand in the hallway making her stop. "What?" she whispered quietly.

"Why are you mad?" Kagome glared at him through the dark and countered his question. "I'm not mad, why are you mad?" she pulled on her hand and walked out the door, on the porch she saw Koga and Ayame. It looked like they were arguing. Koga left her and walked up the steps and looked at Kagome. She was totally unprepared and surprised when he pulled her to him and kissed her full on the lips with so much pressure it hurt. And just as fast as it happened, he let go and walked inside the house closing the door.

She brushed her swollen lips and when she looked at her fingers, she saw a little bit of blood.

What… just… happened…?
