Chapter 3

"Wave for the camera Sessho-Kun."

"Get that out of my face." Sesshomaru walked passed the little girl with the camera in hand and head toward the living room. After getting knocked down by Kagome he had decided to end the little chase and went home. He still had the bracelet and getting that imitation cost him 150 dollars but it wasn't a big deal. He was rich because of the booming business his parents ran and spending a large amount of money wasn't a big deal.

He walked across the marble floor, tossing his bag to the maid that waited for him. He went into the living room where a big plasma TV was set and fell back on the couch. He was steamed, he skipped school because of that stupid girl and now he was home with his equally stupid, camera addicting, little 9-year-old sister Rin.

"Say cheese for the camera. I'm going to tape the whole thing and on my way to school yesterday I went and visited your big high school to look for you." Rin said, sitting beside her older brother.

"You went to my school?"

"Yea I woke up late for school and the maid said there was no reason to go sense I woke up so late, so she sent me up to my room. Though, I took my videotape camera and snuck out. Look at the stuff I taped at your school." Sesshomaru watched her as she popped the tape of its cartridge and put it in to the VCR. She merely put on the speaker, turning on the TV and sitting back down. He watched as it showed Rin just asking various people at his school where he was. Though as it got to a point where it showed Sesshomaru and Kagome walking in the corridor he stared contently at the TV.

"When did you tape this?"

"I said yesterday. It was lunch time I think and I saw you pushing that girl in the hallway and I thought you guys were going out so I taped you guys." Sesshomaru bolted out of his chair as he saw Kagome walking farther away from him in the tape. He hurriedly rushed to the plasma TV but her voice echoed in his ears and as he was about to turn it off those words pierced his ear.

"As much as I love you and your bad ass attitude I can't stick around! See ya!"

"Damn it, not again." He covered his face with his hand and got on one knee. Rin looked at her brother, worried at the actions he was displaying. She ran toward him, shaking his shoulders but he grunted with annoyance.

"Sesshomaru are you okay! Sesshomaru." His slight groans stopped and he stayed there on his knees before standing up slowly. "Sesshomaru?" Rin looked up at a smile placed on his face. It was weird, he never smiled before unless someone from school visited but those visits were rare. But as his hand was placed on her head and he ruffled her hair he laughed.

"I'm fine little sis. Now don't worry about it." With an oh so wonderful smile, he walked away from Rin and headed up to his room. He went down the corridor with a smirk on and as he was about to reach his room he bumped into someone. It was an intentional hit on the shoulder but Sesshomaru looked up to his younger brother with that same smile on.

"Inuyasha. How are you?"

Inuyasha glared at him. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"What ever do you mean brother?"

"What's with that 'how are you' crap?"

"You shouldn't worry your self little bro." Sesshomaru let out a small laugh and pushed pass him and entered his room. He cringed at the plain looking white walls but went to his bed and fell back on to it. Staring at the ceiling he shoved his hand into this pocket and took out the bracelet. He ran his fingers along the engraved name; his wanting for the girl surged through his body.

"I can't wait to see you in school Kagome. It would be most intriguing." He sighed heavily and averted his eyes to the window. "Love can make you do such stupid things."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"I'll pawn this damn thing and I can get money off of it. Shit." She cursed colorfully as she walked along the stepping-stones that led to her front door. Opening it, she entered the kitchen and was immediately embraced. She stared down at her brother confused at his actions.

"What do you want shrimp?" She said with a smile.

"Come look in your room."

"What? Why?" Sota grabbed her wrist with both hands, pulling her up the stairs.

"Sota what are you doing? Come on I didn't eat all day. I have to go back to the kitchen and-"

"Come on sis stop dragging your feet." He tugged her along the corridor and he was so happy that she worried a little. What possible could be in her room that he had to drag her to see it now? The only thing she was thinking about was food. Running and trying to hide from Sesshomaru all day made her hungry but as Sota opened the door and pulled her into the room, Kagome's hunger wasn't a thing she was thinking about anymore. Her face paled and she forgot to breath for a moment.

"See. Isn't it great? He's back." Sota let Kagome's hand go, running toward open arms. She was terrified, the man that Sota hugged and looked up to like an older brother made her heart sink into her stomach. How can he be here now?

With his jet-black hair and black piercing eyes, he smiled at Kagome as he gently pushed Sota away. He was kind to everyone, he helped out her family more than anyone did, he's 18 years old and his name was Naraku.

"What are you doing here?" Kagome inquired trying as hard as she could to keep from stuttering.

He didn't answer but looked at Sota. "Can you go to your room Sota? Your sister and I have to talk."

"Okay." Sota went out of the door, closing it behind him. Naraku made his way to her but she took a step back. There was no way he could be here; it was impossible that he stood right here in her room. The erg to run away was overwhelming but as her back hit the wall she took a breath.

"It looks like you don't want me here Kagome."

"N-Not at all. I'm glade to see you Naraku." Those words were like poison; she held a smile as his hand caressed her cheek. His face was coming closer to hers and she turned away.

"Is something wrong?"

"No but I wanted to know how Bankotsu's doing?"

"My foolish brother's doing fine but why ask such a question?" He forced her to face him and she could feel his hot breath as he kissed her lips gently. She couldn't refuse him but she refused to make this kiss deeper so she pressed her lips tightly together. Naraku didn't fail to notice, he lifted her chin with his hand and smiled.

"Relax Kagome. You don't have to tense up like this." Holding her chin between his fingers he laid his moist lips onto hers. She opened her moth a little, the hand that wrapped around her wrist tightly made her wince. It was painful and that pain caused her mouth to open and his tongue to enter. The erg to vomit took hold of her as she was pressed up against the wall.

He pulled away and looked into her pitch black eyes. "Come on, open your mouth wider. Don't defy me."

"But…" A knock came from her door and Kagome literally melted with relief.

"Hey Naraku!" Sota yelled from the other side.

"What is it Sota?"

"Can you help me to defeat the zombie? I got to level 4 and I'm stuck. I think the stupid controllers broken because it's not doing what I want it to do."

"Hm. It sounds like you Kagome." He whispered with a smile. "I'll be right out okay just give me a minute."

"Okay." She heard footsteps descending down the hallway. The displeasing eyes that meant her kept her from letting out a sigh of relief. His thumb brushed up against her lower lip as he licked his own.

"That little brother of yours is quite bothersome but your thinking he just saved you right? Well he might have saved you now but he'll won't disturb us next time." He took a step back and ran his hands through his hair. Kagome didn't hesitate to move away from the door. Every part of her wanted him out of her room and out of her sight. He slowly made his way to the door and gave her a chaste kiss before exiting the room.

She shut the door softly and leaned up against it. Sinking to the floor she sighed and hid her face in her hands. Her brother looked up to Naraku and her mother enjoyed having him around. She was the only one who thought negatively about him and there was nothing that she could do to escape his grasp.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Shit was she pissed. She had a horrible awakening this morning; being kissed awake by Naraku wasn't the way to start off the day. Even though she was upset there was no possible way she would walk in school without having a watchful eye around her surroundings. There was one problem at home but there was another problem at school and as silver hair came into view, she went off to the other direction and into the library.

Kagome walked to the end of the area and finally realized her mistake. "Damn it. I'm hiding from a book worm like Sesshomaru and I'm in a library." She almost fell down but she just wondered around the library to past time. She stopped at the science fiction section and stared at the bindings of the books for a moment. Something wasn't quite right; the atmosphere around her felt suffocating, as if someone was watching her.

"Hey Kagome." She jumped a mile high and turned around. She was met with a big smile but Kagome held a glare.

"Sango right?"

"Yeah I'm in your homeroom remember?" Sango raised a brow at how timid she was. Her eyes looked all around her, checking every inch of the area until looking back at Sango.

"So what is it?"

"Well me and some other girls over there by the table wanted to know if you were dating Sesshomaru?" Kagome looked at the girls at the far table who kept their eyes on her. She knew they had to be one of those idiotic fan girls but it doesn't explain why Sango was asking her this kind of stuff. Sango had a boyfriend name Miroku, some say there the perfect couple, others say that they are just plain weird together but great nonetheless. It's funny, every time Sango would be with her boyfriend they always end up fighting because some groping issues Miroku has but there's that saying, perfect relationships has its ups and downs.

"I'm not dating that dumb ass. Who would want to date a jerk like him? Well if you don't mine I got to go." Still facing Sango, she started to walk backwards. All the efforts of hiding had paid off but the glares that she recieved from the girls as she glanced over Sango's shoulders were hellish. Some bitches can't get the man they want so they have to take it on the girl who's close to the guy. Damn was high school life a bitch but the day was going to become a unsatisfied day as she turned around and bumped into a chest. She was about to fall back but arms wrapped around her preventing her from landing on her ass.

"Kagome I've missed you." That cheerful tone, these unmistakable arms that held her ever so tightly and that smile that she looked up at. It all meant one thing:

"Sesshomaru? Hey let me go you jerk. Give me my bracelet and-"

"Your bracelet's at my house, on my bed, so if you want to ditch school we can get it." This whole easy going personality literally made chills run down her spine. His fingers moved slowly down her back. Sango just stared at his actions, looking back at the fan girls who couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"Just let me go. I'm going to murder you if you don't let me go."

"As long as you're the one holding the knife than I wouldn't care less." Taking her wrist, she was backed up against the bookshelves. The smile on his face and the way he smirked at the girls as he brought her chin up wasn't something that was going to end up good.

"Shit. Get off of me."

"Why?"

"Because you're a jerk." He laughed and ran his fingers through her hair.

"Is that all you can say?" She didn't have time to reply, the lips that laid on her own prevented her to speak. It was near exams and that meant students needed books for studying. The library was busy as hell; it was a bad time to show such stupid and meaningless actions of love. This wasn't love; this wasn't even an action of love. She didn't know what to make of it but he kissed her deeply. When he pulled away he met with an expected reaction, sighing to such hatred he stared at her as her brows furrowed.

"Damn it! You stupid little-"

"Why do you have to say such things?" He asked, holding her arms down on to the shelves behind her.

"Why do you think I'm mad at you? You act like a total ass one second and now you're acting like your hopelessly in lo-" He covered her mouth but she shook it off.

"What the hell was that for? Don't lay your hands or your damn lips on my mouth." Sesshomaru noticed that she had enough. To make her somewhat happy, he let her go as she pushed him away. The way he just simple let her go was baffling but she didn't think anything of it as she turned and walked away. As expected, Sesshomaru followed closely with his hands in his pocket.

"You wouldn't date him. Yeah right. It seems its unrequited love." Sango smiled and watched the two couple walk out of the building.

"Stop following me!" Kagome quickened her pace, trying to lose this guy but he still followed ever so closely.

"Why don't we go on a date?"

"Yeah right. Stop fooling yourself; you just want your damn composition book back so here. Take the damn thing and leave me alone." She knew from the very beginning that only trouble would follow her if she took the book. The moment she stuck her hand in his bag and ran off with the book, she expected trouble to lurk around her but not like this. She had this little theory of hers, the more submissive the guy was, the more likely he wasn't going to be attached to anyone but himself. He seemed like the type of guy that hated the world around him but lived with it and hid everything under a shadow of a smile. But why? Why was this guy still looking at her with confusion and slammed right on his chest was his book.

"Take the book. Take it and leave me alone."

"If I take that means I won't see you anymore. You'll ignore me and-"

"I think that's the whole point. If you don't take it I'll drop it on the floor and-" The book fell to the floor. People around them stared at the two couple that locked lips. They were cute with each other, he was as hott and sexy as hell and she was beautiful. There breath mingled with each other, she could feel her heart melt as she clung ever so tightly on to him. She hated him, he had a mixed personality that she couldn't figure out but deep down she loved him.

As he pulled away, she knelt down and picked up the book. "I can't get you. I just can't figure you out. Take it." She lent out the book but he still refused to take it. He just looked at her with this perplexed look on his face as if saying she was crazy or something.

"Just be with me. I'll make you happy and-"

"No! I can't be with you. I'm already someone else's property and what ever I do I can't change it." She was startled as he grabbed her roughly by the shoulders.

"You don't understand. The more you're further away from me the more by body desires you. I can't take, I couldn't sleep, it was as if you're the drug and I can't stop getting my hands off of you." The things he said confused her and her mind was to filled with troubles that she pushed him back and ran off. She still had the book in hand but there was nothing she could do now. She was caught in a web of problems and she couldn't get out of it.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

The color in Kagome's face paled as she walked into the kitchen. Suitcases and luggage were placed on the table. Maybe Naraku was leaving, it was a joy to think of but as smiles entered the kitchen, Kagome stared at her mother and Naraku who sat at the table.

"Kagome, I'm glade you're here." Her mother said with a smile.

"Hey mom how are you feeling? Are your coughs going away?" She sat beside her mother, smiling weakly at Naraku.

"Of course, of course. Don't worry about me so much dear." How could she not worry? Her mother's face was as pale as ever and her eyes looked like she hadn't been sleeping for days. She would cough and on occasion fall ill with a fever but she held strong.

"So about our agreement Mrs. Higurashi."

"Of course." Turning her attention to her daughter, she smiled and put a hand on her shoulder. "Kagome I have great news."

"W-What is it?" She knew the worse was going to hit her. The cultivating smile on Naraku's face as well as her mother's pleasing eyes, this wasn't going to be anything good. There they were, sitting at the kitchen table and they all had smiles excluding Kagome, who just had a frown.

"Well Naraku and I have come to an agreement that you'll be marrying him once you turn 18 but until than you'll be-"

"Are you fucking serious?" She exhaled heavily, slamming her hands on the table with the utmost anger clinging to her throat. Her mother was startled at her daughter's actions but as for Naraku, he was expecting some kind of reaction to come out of her but not this forceful.

"Kagome. What is with your tone and as well as your language?"

She came back, anger dissipating moments later as she calmly took a seat. "Mother. What are you talking about, why marriage?" Naraku was Bankotsu's older brother and before she ever came to Tokyo, Bankotsu was her boyfriend. Her mother didn't know that, she kept it from her for some reason. Her mother was too sick to even listen to her anyway so she just kept that from everyone. As for Naraku, she didn't know if he knew about the relationship that she had with his younger brother but it didn't matter now.

"He's a man who'll take care of you if anything were to happen to me. He's 18, he'll provide you with a roof over your head and you won't have to worry. He's intelligent and soon enough he's going to run his father's business once he turns 19."

"I want to marry you Kagome. Are you denying my offer?" He locked his eyes on to hers. She felt pressured, with her mother as well as Naraku breathing down her throat. The only thing to do was choose, there wasn't anything else to choose from but to marry him, but still. Something in her heart and the way she tightly clenched her fist, told her it was a bad idea. It was a bad idea… shit, it was an awful idea but she had no choice.

"No. I'll be honored to wed you Naraku."

A pleasing smile crossed their faces as her mother hugged Kagome. "I'm so happy. You make me so proud."

"Th-Thanks mom." She managed to say. This was the only time your proud of me mother. She mused.

"So we'll be going. The plane leaves in an hour and-"

"Plane?"

Naraku glanced at his watch and sighed. "You'll be going back to Kyoto. I have to attend my father's meetings there to get use to the environment of the place of his business. I just came here to get you so we'll be-"

"I can't leave I don't-" Naraku stood up and walked toward her. Grabbing her wrist gentle he flashed a smile to her mother.

"Mrs. Higurashi will you excuse us. I would want to speak with Kagome upstairs if you don't mind?" Her mother nodded and she was pulled upstairs and into her room. It happened so fast, her back was slammed onto the wall and he placed his face near her ear. She felt his breath and the anger that made his breathing grew haste.

"What are you doing Kagome? Why do you defy me? Why do you treat me like this when I showed you nothing but kindness? Now tell me, are you going to stay here or are you coming with me? I'm giving you a choice but keep this in mind Kagome that I saved your mother and if it wasn't for me, your mother wouldn't be alive today."

He gave her a choice but guilt lingered in her mind. She couldn't stay nor did she wanted to go with him but she had to answer. He was growing inpatient, she sighed heavily after deciding and spoke.

"I'm sorry but I can't go with you."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

I got this up and I hope you guys like it. Well see ya.
