Chapter 13
Kagome tensed up as she walked into the classroom. Taking a seat in the back she rested her head on the table. She was thinking of everything that would go wrong. "What if he makes me stay after class? What if he threatens me again? What if?" These questions ran through her mind and as she thought about it the more she trembled in fear. She thought about Ayame and she couldn't believe he killed her. "Why her?" Kagome wanted to change places with her. Ayame wasn't involved with this and she wished that her friends and family wasn't involved in any of this. If I just killed myself sooner she wouldn't have died. This wouldn't have happened. Kagome felt a tap on her shoulder and she got up and looked at Inuyasha. She smiled. "Hey Inuyasha."
"Kagome please stop smiling." He said as he wiped her tears away. She didn't notice she was crying. She was so deep into thought that she couldn't realize it. Inuyasha took her hand. "Lets go to the nurses office. You shouldn't have come to school."
Kagome pulled her hand out of his grasp and looked at him. "That's okay I'll manage. Don't worry." She wiped her tears away as Inuyasha took a seat.
The bell rang and as Hiten entered the class Kagome's hands curled into a fist. She wanted to glare at him but she knew that would just encourage him to make her stay after class. He loved her anger and he loved making her cry and Kagome knew it. She remained looking at the book in front of her. Hiten read to the class as he walked around. He talked about how the moon provides light on earth at night. Kagome didn't listen but stared at the book. Everyone was following along as he read out loud.
As Hiten came by Kagome he stopped beside her as he continued to read. Kagome tensed up as he remained by her side. He placed a note beside her book and walked off. As he read to the class Kagome hesitated to pick up the note. With trembling hands Kagome picked up the folded note and opened it. She trembled uncontrollable as she held back tears. She shook with anger and sadness as she looked at the note in her hands.
The paper in her hands wasn't a note but a picture of Ayame. It was a side shot with her smiling and as Kagome stared at it her tears escaped her eyes. She than looked at the words written in the corner, 'Whose next' . Kagome crushed the picture in her hands as she cried.
Inuyasha looked at her as she sat there crying. He raised his hand. "Mr. Sanzenin. Can I take Kagome to the Health room?" Kagome took her took her hands away from her face and everyone was staring at her with remorseful looks on their faces.
"Of course." He said as he put his book down.
"Come on Kagome." Inuyasha said as he escorted her out the classroom. "I know you said you didn't want to go to the Nurses Office but I thought maybe you could go to the roof."
"Thank you for getting me out of there." Kagome shoved the piece of paper in her pocket as he lead her to the roof of the school. When they got there Kagome sat up against the fence.
"You should go back to class." She said as she stared up at the clouds.
"I don't want to leave you up here alone."
"I'm going to be fine. It's just I want to be alone for awhile that's all." She leaned her head back and racked her fingers through her hair.
"Are you going to be okay?"
"Some what." He then nodded his head and left.
Kagome sat there thinking. She thought about leaving but she couldn't run away anymore. She had to listen or it'll be the end of the people she loved. She had to give up with trying to stop him. Hiten was capable of killing anyone and he proved it.
Kagome entered her home and went to the kitchen. She went into the refrigerator and fixed up a sandwich. With a sandwich and soda in hand she went up stairs and knocked on Bankotsu's door before she entered.
"Bankotsu." She said as she walked up to him. He still had his back toward her and she took a seat beside him. "You have to eat. It's been two days." He didn't answer but stayed in the same position. She set the food and soda on his drawer that laid beside his bed. Placing her hand on his arm he nudged him. "Bankotsu please talk to me. Move or something." With no answer she shook him again. "You have to eat."
"Leave me alone." He said softly.
"I'm not going to leave you alone until you eat. Sit up." She demanded.
"I don't want to think anymore. I don't want to be awake. Let me sleep."
"I'm not letting you sleep until you eat. You've slept enough, now get up or I'll force you up." She said coldly.
"Get the hell out of my room."
"Shut up and get the fuck up Bankotsu. If you don't eat you'll get sick. Now get up." Kagome stood up in anger and waited for him to respond.
"You don't know how much it hurts just leave me alone." Kagome curled her hand into a fist. He turned him on his back and sat him up by lifting him by the collar of his shirt. She clenched his shirt tightly as he lifted him.
"Don't know how you feel! Don't give me that fucking bullshit! Did you forget who the fuck I am already! Did you close up your brain that much to forget every thing! My parents died, both of them! They died a stupid death. They didn't want me as their child that's why they didn't stay with me. I begged them not to go. I cried on my knees not to go but they left." Her tears fell out of her glaring eyes as she continued. "You asked me once how they died. Well I'll tell you. They got a call to take a flight to go to Colorado for a business promotion. It was raining out. I could hear thunder and I could tell something was going to happen so just to make thing say I asked them to stay but they didn't want to stay with me. They didn't want me. Their jobs were more important to them than I was. I begged them on my knees for them to stay with me. I yelled for them not to go but they went. Lightening struck the right wing of the plain and you can put it together from there. Ever since I was 5 I had to put up with what your feeling. Every day of my life I had to put up with the tears, the loneliness, the sadness. So don't you dare say I don't know how you feel. Don't you dare say that to me." She let his shirt go. Tears fell from her eyes as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I miss her to. She was like a sister to me you don't know how hard it was to go through school not hearing her voice."
Bankotsu held her sister as he also let out tears. She didn't want anyone to get hurt anymore and she just had to do something about this problem. She couldn't let this go on anymore.
Its been 3 weeks and Bankotsu got better. He wasn't as happy go lucky as he was before but he smiled often. He went back to 3 days after their argument and it was as normal as it could be. Her brother hung out with Hojo and Koga during recess. Kagome watched over Bankotsu for a while just to make sure he wasn't trying to attempt suicide. Bankotsu went out with Ayame for 5 years so with that much memories behind the two she had to make sure he didn't try anything to kill himself. Now she felt how her brother felt when she attempted to kill herself. Worried.
Kagome sighed as she stretched. She leaned on a tree in the park as she looked at the sky. She waited as she stood there looking at her watch. "Late. I knew I shouldn't have come here." She spat out in anger. She sighed as she looked at the kids playing on the jungle gym. She stared at the two kids, a boy and a girl no older than 6, as they walked toward her.
"Excuse me." The boy said as he looked up at her. "Can you help my sister tie her shoe?" Kagome knelt down as she tied it.
She stood up with a smile on her face. "There you go."
The two kids stood in front her until they finally said. "Thank you." The girl said shyly.
"Lady. Why were you mad?" He inquired.
"Oh I'm waiting for someone and he's late."
"I see you at the park all the time. You're really pretty" The girl said as she held her brother's sleeve.
"Thank you. So what are your names?"
"I'm Sasuke Uchiha and this is my sister Sakura. Were waiting for our mom and dad to pick us up. Can we wait here with you?" Sasuke said with a big smile.
"Of course. Well my names Kagome Higurashi." She said as she sat on the floor.
"Who are you waiting for Kagome?" The boy asked as the two sat down in front of her.
"A friend."
"A friend. Is it a boy or a girl?" Sakura asked. Kagome slightly raised an eyebrow. These kids were asking a lot of questions but kids are like that.
"A boy."
"Oooo your boyfriend?" The girl spat out as she smiled.
"No just a friend. He's to much of an idiot and a liar to be a boyfriend."
"I didn't lie." Sesshomaru said from behind. "I told you I was going to be here by 12. He said looking at his watch.
"Well it's 12:15." She said looking at her own watch.
"Your watch must be wrong."
"Mines say 12." Sasuke spat as he raised his hand.
"Told you." Sesshomaru said with a smirk.
"Thanks a lot Sasuke." She sarcastically said with a smile.
"Sorry, I would have lied but my mom said I shouldn't do that." Sasuke said as he looked at the car that pulled up on the curb.
Kagome put a hand on his head. "That's good. You should listen to your mother."
"Come on Sakura. That's mom." Sasuke said as he looked at the car.
"Bye Kagome and Kagome's boyfriend." Sakura said as they both waved good-bye.
Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her waist. "I liked what that girl said." He stated with a smirk. "Kagome's boyfriend has such a ring to it don't you think. I really like how that sounds." His face moved closer to hers but Kagome pushed his head away from her and got out of his grasp.
"We are not on a date. Remember that. I just accepted to come out here because I didn't have nothing to do at home alright?" She began to walk and Sesshomaru followed.
"You hungry?" He said as he took her hand in his.
"No I was thinking we go to the mall I have to pick up something."
"Sure thing I wouldn't care where we go as long as I'm here with you." Kagome rolled her eyes with a smile. It was really corny for a person like him to say that but it was still a nice thing to hear. Kagome didn't know what to call their time together. She didn't want to call it a date but a get together.
Sesshomaru glanced at her as he noticed Kagome was deep in thought. "So what are you thinking about?"
"None of your business. Why do you assume I'm thinking about something?"
"Well, one, you said it was none of my business which tells me your hiding something and two, you're not talking to me. Your usually a motor mouth when were together." He smiled at her as he noticed her blushing.
"We are not together." She said as she tried not to stutter.
"I didn't mean it like that. I meant that when were with each other, like now." He pointed out as he stopped and pulled her into his arms. "But if you meant it like that than I must protest than we are together. I don't usually listen to people at school but everyone knows or says we're a couple." Kagome blushed as his arms tightened around her. "We're having our date right now."
she pushed him away and glared at him with her arms crossed. She hated it when he talked liked that but she ultimately hates it when he would make her blush. "We are not going out and you should get that through your thick skull or I'm leaving.
Sesshomaru smiled as he rolled his eyes and took her hand. She was way to stubborn but he loved it when he would see her all worked up like that. He loved a challenge and things as it is would be as hard for him to overcome this challenge. Sesshomaru let her go and took her hand as he lead her to the mall.
Kagome cornered her eyes as she let him hold her hand. "You're an idiot." She said out of defeat.
Sesshomaru just smiled at her scowl and held her hand tighter. As they got to the mall Kagome saw a group of girls from school walking towards them. They didn't see them and why should she care if they saw her but she knew one of them. Her name was Ren Ashimata. She just moved here 5 days ago and Ayame talked to Kagome in class when she first arrived at school. She became a friend for the most part. Ren always told her that she liked Sesshomaru but she always denied it. If she sees me holding his hand I'll never hear the end of it.
Kagome yanked her hand out of his and Sesshomaru cocked an eyebrow at her action. She could tell that she was blushing and she quickly breathed slowly as she calmed herself down.
Sesshomaru took her hand and held it tightly so she couldn't pull away. "What's with you?" Sesshomaru didn't know what was going on with her as he saw her eyes widened.
"Come on let me go Sesshomaru." Kagome pleaded as she panic. The group of girls was getting closer and she couldn't tug her hand away.
"Why should I? You didn't complain before and now you're acting like you don't want to even be seen with me. I'm going to hold your hand like my life depended on it and I will never let go." He stood his ground on this one because his grip tightened when he finished in anger.
Kagome was defeated once again and she just wanted to run away. She wanted to disappear but she couldn't and as soon as she knew it she heard a squeal of excitement.
"Oh my god, Kagome is that you?" Ren said in excitement as a huge grin was plastered on her face.
"Hey Ren." The group of girls beside Ren glared at Kagome and she knew they were fans of Sesshomaru, besides Ren of course because she was the one encouraging her to go out with the guy.
"Well I thought you said you weren't going out. You lied to me. How long were you two with each other?" Kagome blushed even more as a breath was felt beside her ear. She cornered her eyes to see Sesshomaru and she panicked. Her breathing sped up and she couldn't move.
"We were going out for a while now. Ever since the beginning of the school year." Sesshomaru answered as all the girls cocked their heads at Sesshomaru's answer.
"No way that's totally awesome but why did you lie to me about that Kagome?" She tensed up as Sesshomaru's tongue was brushed up against her ear. He was taking advantage of this moment and Kagome just stared at Ren.
"I think she was just a little shy to say because if I knew that everyone knew at school about us than I would be all over her. Although she told me that it was going to be a secret but now every things out in the open so excuse me for my actions." Sesshomaru said with a smirk as he kissed her neck.
Kagome couldn't believe it; well she could believe it since he's so forward with her but in front of everyone.
"You love her so much. That so sweet but you better not hurt my BFF before I'm going to hurt you." She said with a grin.
"No you have it all wrong. Were not-" Chills ran down her spin all the way to her toes. Why this bastard She thought but would have said out loud if it weren't for Sesshomaru's lips in the way.
Ren smiled at their loving kiss. "Well we better leave you two alone. Bye Kagome." Ren and the girls walked passed them and as they disappeared into the horde of people walking through the mall.
A second later Sesshomaru pulled away and smiled. "Well now were even."
"Even, what do you mean even! We were even along time ago!" She spat out in anger.
"Remember what you said. You said you lost count so I guessed that I had one more." Kagome averted her eyes away from him as he realized that he was right.
Crossing her arms she frowned. "But why in front of them. Do you want people to know about us?"
"Us? So we do have something between us?" Sesshomaru said as he tried to pry information out of her.
Kagome, now realizing what she just said blushed ferociously as she looked at him as a smile crept upon his face. "I-I didn't mean it like that." She stuttered.
"You know you meant it like that in every way."
"No I didn't mean it by that." She argued.
"Right." He lengthened the word as he smiled. "You know you love me." Before she could say anything he took her hand and started to walk. "So where was this place you wanted to go?" Changing the subject wasn't his intentions but looking at her squirm was too much to bare. He wanted to burst into laughter but of course that wasn't the type of guy that he was so he had to avert the situation that she was in.
"Kashiwata threads." She said as she followed him.
"Picking out something pretty for out next date?"
"No. My brother insisted that I do some shopping. He said that I'm cooped up in the house too much and I need to get out more so he gave me his credit card to go shopping. I said that I didn't want to but he insisted and he said he was going to check on his card to see if I spent anything. So I'll just buy a couple of things to make him happy." Shopping was the last thing she wanted to do. She hated going to the mall because of the suffocation of it all. She hated all the people that lingered in there and she hated to push and shove her way to one place to another although today was different because no one did brush upon them or went near them. It was like some kind of force field that prevented anyone to get near them.
It must have been because of how intimidating Sesshomaru looked with his slight scowl as he walked. He only smiled when Kagome looked at him or if she talked to him but other than that he placed a seemingly light scowl on his face.
When they entered the clothing store all eyes was on them. The girls whispered to each other as they walked by. She knew it was about Sesshomaru. He had looks that would make girls flutter in the air if they had wings.
Sesshomaru stopped abruptly and took Kagome's free hand and went in front of her. With both hands in his he raised them and pressed his lips upon her fingers. "Ease up okay. You're the only one for me." Kagome just raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Jezz are you trying to pull something again because I'm not going to let you kiss me again. You go anywhere near my lips and I'll knock you out."
"Well that's fine with me as long as you relax." He smiled mischievously as she looked clueless.
"I'm relaxed, I don' t know what your talking about."
"Your hand. It's balled up into a fist and I just wanted you to know that don't let those girls get to you because you're the only girl for me." She looked at her hand that was still curled into a fist and she soon opened it and smiled.
"N-No way. Like I care if those girls giggle and stare at you. They're not getting to me so don't you think any thing stupid." Kagome pushed his hands aside and walked past him. "Me, Jealous, now that's a laugh."
"Come on Kagome why do you have to be so stubborn just say it." Kagome picked up a blouse from the rack and hung it on her arm as she continued to look around.
"Say what?" She picked up a strapless blue dress and looked it over as she waited for him to reply.
"Say that you love me." Kagome immediately dropped the dress on the floor and she stumbled to pick it up. She got up from picking the dress from the floor and put it back on the rack.
"Can you please shut up?" Going to the register, she put the clothes on to the table as the girl behind the counter rang it up.
"Than say that you don't love me and I'll stop. Just look me in the eye and say that you don't love me what so ever." The girl eyed the two couple and she smiled at the scene.
Kagome didn't look at him but stared at the clothes on the counter. "Shut it."
"So you do love me?"
"Can you quit it? You're making a scene." She said as she slid her credit card into the machine and punched in numbers.
"I'll talk even louder if you don't answer me." Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her as he waited patiently for her to reply.
"Here you go Ma'am." The lady said as she stared at the two of them.
"Let me go now. She's done. Lets go." she said quickly.
"She might be done bet we're not. You don't mind do you Miss?" He smiled sweetly at the counter girl as she blushed.
"Of course not. I think it's very cute. I'll leave you to alone until a customer comes over." She left the counter and Kagome just practically dropped her jaw. No way this can't be happening.
Sesshomaru held her tightly and smiled." Now were her alone and I'm waiting for you to say you hate me or you love me."
As soon as she opened her mouth to say something her cell phone rang from her pocket. The cell phone rang once again and she looked up at Sesshomaru. "I have to get that. If it's my brother and I don't answer it than he'll worry about me." Kagome felt his grip loosen as he hesitated to let her go.
"Fine." He let her go and she abruptly put her hand into her pocket and pulled the phone up to her ear.
"Hello" Kagome said as she picked up the bags from the counter and slowly walked away as Sesshomaru followed from behind.
"I hope your having fun." She dropped her bags as she widened her eyes. Stopping in place she bit her lower lip.
"How did you get my number?" She finally said.
"Never mind that. I'm just making sure you haven't run off."
"You know I wouldn't run off Hiten." Kagome whispered as Sesshomaru walked up beside her.
"I heard your parents are coming home."
"Please don't kill them." She shouted as Sesshomaru stared at her with confusion.
"Calm down I'm not going to kill them…. Yet."
"Why are you doing this to me? Why are you-" The line went dead and Kagome trembled with fear. She was about to cry until a hand held her wrist.
"Who was that?" Sesshomaru demanded with worry.
"N-No one just the pet store." She quickly said.
"Pet store? Don't lie to me. Who the hell was that?" Sesshomaru grabbed her bags from the floor and pulled her out of the mall. He had a contempt look on his face as he rushed her out of the mall and to the park. They were at a secluded area of the park and he put the bags down and looked at her.
She didn't want to argue or think of lies to tell him. She was fed up with lying but it wasn't like she could come out and tell the truth. She winced as his grip tightened around her wrist.
Kagome pulled her arm out of his grasp and started to walk away until he grabbed her arm again.
"Tell me what's going on? Don't lie to me anymore?" Kagome picked up her bags and smiled up at him.
"I don't love you. I don't care about you what so ever. So let me go and leave me alone." It was hard to hold a smile on her face but she had to say those cruel words even though in her own heart it stung her more than ever.
He held her arm even tighter and he glared at her. " I don't care if you hate me or despise me. Tell me what's going on or-"
Pulling her arm away she started to walk off. "It's none of your concern. I was using you for my own fun. I never liked you I just wanted someone to tease that's all. You're nothing to me, not a friend, not a boyfriend, nothing; just someone that's always gets in my business. Like any other person." Sesshomaru didn't chase after her but stared at her as she walked away. Kagome didn't look back, tears ran down her cheek as she balled her hand into a fist. She hated this and herself. Just when her life got back in track it was now off track and about to crash into a heap of trouble.
Okay you noticed the names Sasuke and Sakura Uchiha. I'm sorry about that if it disturbs you but I'm also a huge Naruto fan so I just want to add their names just for kicks. There not really the main characters so I'm sorry if it bothers you but please don't yell at me.
Oh and about the misspelled words of some of the chapters. I really try my best and I do re-read it over but somehow I miss some and I'm really so super sorry but thanks for reading and the nice reviews.
