Teacher's Pet

Chapter 13: Jumping to Conclusions

When Kagome woke the next morning, she was surprised that Sesshomaru wasn't at her side. She shifted around on the bed and propped herself up on her elbow. "Good morning Sess."

"Hn." Sesshomaru replied. He hadn't gotten any sleep the previous night, pondering why Kagome would lie to him about not being a virgin.

"What's wrong baby?"

"I should be asking you that."

Kagome rubbed her eyes and yawned. She sat all the way up and stretched, realizing that she was still completely nude she blushed.

"What are you blushing for? I am sure that many men have seen your body this way."

Kagome blinked a couple of times. "Ok, if you're about to start an argument, may I at least brush my teeth first?" Kagome slid out of the bed and went into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, still wondering about what had Sesshomaru so upset. She decided to take a shower, hoping that some time alone would give him some time to cool off and start talking to where she could understand him. When she came out of the bathroom, she was in her bra and panties. "Now, will you please explain to me what's wrong with you?" Kagome walked over to the bed and sat in the middle of it with her legs crossed.

"You lied to me." Sesshomaru wasn't in the chair he'd been occupying before Kagome went into the bathroom. Instead, he was gathering Kagome's clothing.

"Might I ask what I lied to you about?"

"You are not a virgin. You were not one last night."

Kagome swallowed. She'd never really told Sesshomaru that she was a virgin, then again, she hadn't told him that she wasn't either. "It's not what you think Sesshomaru. I-"

"I wish to hear no more of your lies. Leave my home at once!" Sesshomaru threw some clothes at her and walked out of his room.

Kagome was still in shock. Sure she hadn't told Sesshomaru, but she hadn't lied to him wither. Why the hell was he so pissed about it? Kagome quickly got dressed and rushed downstairs. "Sesshomaru, please talk to me. I'm not understanding why you're so mad."

"I'm mad because you're nothing but a liar! You lied to me! Who knows how many men you've fucked? How many dicks you've sucked? Tell me Kagome...how many men have had their way with you? Maybe you're not really scared of Naraku. Perhaps you've fucked him as well, and you've been leading me around by the nose." Sesshomaru blew up.

Kagome's eyes filled with tears. She had no idea where his words were coming from, or why he was hurting her so much. All she knew was that it did hurt. "Sesshomaru...I don't know what's gotten into you...but I think you need to check your attitude. I never lied to you. You should remember that...or has the great former Lord Sesshomaru forotten? And if I was leading you around by the nose, I've been doing a hell of a good job at it, 'cause I've got you eating out of the palm of my fucking hand!" Kagome took a deep breath. "I'm leaving, but I'll be back because I have to help Inuyasha with his homework. If you've calmed down by then, let me know. Otherwise, don't say a damn thing to me."

Kagome stromed out of the house and slammed the door. Sesshomaru actually jumped when the door slammed shut. Inuyasha came rushing down the stairs. "Sesshomaru what the fuck man? You're supposed to be smarter than that!" Inuyasha was fully dressed.

"Why are you dressed? It is far too early in the morning for you to be dressed."

"I'm going after my best friend because someone she cares deeply for just hurt her by jumping to conclusions, which is something she hates." Inuyasha grabbed a vanilla frappuccino out of the fridge. He knew Kagome loved them, and he was going to try his best to make her happy.

"You are talking like you know more about the situation than I do." Sesshomaru said.

"That's because I do!" Inuyasha yelled. "I'm Kagome's best friend! And next to Sango, I know more about her than anyone else! Kami! For you to be the smarter one, you're really being dumb!" Inuyasha made his way to the door. "And you wanna know something? You never even asked Kagome if she was a virgin or not!" He left out of the house in hopes that Kagome would be at her house.

Sesshomaru was silent as he thought about what Inuyasha had told him. He mentally went through all of his conversations with Kagome and found that the half breed was indeed right. Not once had he asked Kagome had she had relations with another person, he simply assumed. He truly felt like a fool. His fingers twitched and he reached for his phone, but he knew it was useless, and that Kagome wouldn't answer. He decided to text Inuyasha instead.

"Kags, I know you're mad, but please let me in." Inuyasha knocked on Kagome's door.

His answer was a broken sob. Inuyasha slowly opened the door and was almost hit with a lamp. He ducked out of the way in time and cringed as it shattered against the wall. "Shit! You're not mad at me, remember?"

"I don't care!" Kagome said. She sat up in the bed and wiped her eyes. She wasn't crying much, but Inuyasha could see the pain on her face and in her eyes.

"Kagome, listen to me...I have no idea why I'm about to tell you this...but I am." He paused.

"Well...let me hear it. And hand me the frappuccino." Kagoem reached her hand out for the bottle in his hand.

Inuyasha shook his head with a smile and handed Kagome the drink. "Inus are possessive. I mean like really possessive. We like to keep what we've claimed as ours, just that. I can tell that Sesshomaru really feels something for you. I have no idea why, but you feel the same thing for him. When he found out you weren't a virgin, his beast went crazy at the thought that someone else had had you, and he was actually scared that he could lose you to whoever this person was."

Kagome shook her head. "That's impossible. I don't even know what happened to him. I haven't seen him since it happened. He should be in college by now. Sesshomaru can never lose me to anyone. I...I...I love him."

"Ew." Inuyasha turned his nose up at Kagome's declaration.

Kagome laughed. "Thanks Inu. You're the best." She flung her arms around her best friend.

"Yeah yeah." Inuyasha patted Kagome on the back. His phone vibrated in his pocket with a text message. Inuyasha sat back and checked it, then looked at Kagome. "I don't feel like going back to the house right now, so can we do my homework here?"

Kagome shrugged. "Fine."

They began on their homework as Sota came in the house. Kagome's younger brother came to her room and saw Inuyasha sitting on her floor. "Inuyasha!"

"Hey kiddo." Inuyasha smiled.

"Will you play soccer with me?" Sota asked.

"He can't. He has to finish his homework." Kagome said, sounding like a parent.

"Ignore her. Sure I can play soccer with you kiddo. Let's go." Inuyasha hopped up and went outside.

"When you fail it's on you!" Kagome called after him, then sat back on her bed and shook her head.

I'll try to have the next chapter up before the week is out!
