Teacher's Pet
Chapter 14: Dinner and Apologies
"I don't see this working." Inuyasha told Sesshomaru.
"It really doesn't matter if you see it, now does it?" Sesshomaru said. "I just need you to bring Kagome to the house."
Inuyasha sighed. "She doesn't want to be here. She said so herself Sesshomaru."
"I'm not asking you for what she said halfbreed." Sesshomaru checked his watch. He was running late. "Come. It is time for school."
"You sound so...odd...when you say that..." Inuyasha frowned. Sesshomaru resisted the urge to roll his eyes as they left out of the house.
"Hey Kagome!" Inuyasha hopped out of Sesshomaru's car as soon as he saw Kagome when they were in the school parking lot.
Kagome turned to smile at him. "Hey Yash!" Her smile faltered for a second when she saw Sesshomaru. Her eyes showed her sadness, and to a person who knew Kagome, they could tell that she'd been crying all night.
"Hello Higurashi-san, Taijiya-san." Sesshomaru nodded to them both and continued on his way.
"Oh gosh! Is it me or does that man get hotter every day?" Sango whispered in Kagome's ear.
Kagome just shrugged and looped her arms through both Inuyasha's and Sango's. "I'm hungry."
"You're always hungry Kagome." Inuyasha was shaking his head.
"Whatever." She stuck her tongue out at him. Kagome knew that Sesshomaru planned to apologize that night, since there was no way Inuyasha could keep a secret from her no matter how hard he tried. When Sesshomaru sent a text to his younger half brother the previous day, Kagome had known who it was from and what it had said.
"See you in History Kags." Inuyasha said, his smile never wavering.
Kagome rolled her eyes and kept walking to her class.
"Sooo...what's up with you two?" Sango asked.
"Nothing." Kagome answered honestly.
"You're lying. Something has got to be something going on between you two. You're damn near inseprable! If there's nothing going on then he's gay!"
Kagome couldn't help the laughter that bubbled from inside of her. "He isn't gay Sango. We're just frends."
"There's no way a girl and a boy can just be friends." Sango said.
"So what are me and Koga?" Kagome came back with.
"That's completely different. You aren't attracted to Koga." Sango thought her logic was solid.
"I'm not attracted to Inuyasha either." It wasn't a total lie. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru shared some of the same qualities, but Kagome was definetly more attracted to Sesshomaru than Inuyasha.
Sango sighed. "There's something you're not telling me."
This conversation was kept up through text message until they got to History. "Are you secretly dating someone?" Sango asked when they walked in the classroom.
At hearing this, Sesshomaru's ears perked up. Sango didn't understand the irony of what she was saying. Kagome laughed. "No Sango. I'm-"
"Hey Kags! Check this out!" Inuyasha ran towards them waving a paper in his hands.
Kagome, thankful for the interruption, focused her full attention on her other best friend. She didn't have to ask what Inuyasha was holding to be proud of him.
"I made an 84! That's a high C!" Inuyasha was ecstatic.
Kagome was smiling at him. "Congrats! You studied hard."
"Yeah, but I have you to thank. You actually made me sit down and study." Inuyasha blushed slightly, but that turned into a deeper blush when Kagome hugged him.
"That's what friends are for Yash." Kagome went to her seat.
"Today, we're not going to have a lesson. This will happen only three more times this year, when it is close to report card time. I am going to talk to each of you individually and dicuss your grade and what can or can't be done to help them." Sesshomaru announced.
"Mr. Taisho, Kags and I know what our grades are, may we go to the gym to practice our new routine?" Sango asked.
Sesshomaru didn't want to let them out of the classroom, but he knew that Kagome didn't really want to be around him. "Yes, you may."
"Thanks!" Kagome said with a bright smile and zoomed out of the classroom. "And we need Inuyasha." She poked her head back in the room.
"For what?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Can't tell you. No one is supposed to know." Kagome said with a shrug.
Sesshomaru stared at her for a moment, wondering just what the hell she wanted with his brother. "Fine."
Inuyasha smiled, glad to be out of class. Honestly, the only reason he went was because Kagome would be there. he really didn't care that Sesshomaru was the teacher. "So what do you guys need me for?" Inuyasha asked, catching up with Kagome and Sango.
Sango shrugged and looked at Kagome, who shrugged too.
"I just knew you didn't want to be in there. You can come watch us practice I guess."
Inuyasha followed them to the gym and watched as they practiced for forty five minutes. He had no idea how much time and skill went into cheering or preparing a routine. The cheerleaders worked as hard, if not harder, than many athletes. They were athletes themselves. After watching them prcatice, he waited as they took showers in the locker room and changed clothes.
"Wow! That gave me some energy!" Kagome was pumped at lunch.
"So Inuyasha...you got to watch them practice..." Miroku started, "...how was it?"
"Miroku you're such a perv!" Sango slapped him on the arm.
"You wound me my dear. I only wish to know how hard you worked." Miroku grabbed his shoulder where Kagome had punched him.
"Anyway, Yash, what are you doing tonight?" Kagome asked.
"Why? You wanna plan something with him?" Sango asked Kagome.
"Why the hell would she plan anything with muttface? She don't like him!" Koga butted in, completely ignoring Ayame as usual.
"Sango, shutup. Koga...see previous." Kagome rolled her eyes. She was asking Inuyasha what he was doing because she didn't want him to be alone while she was talking to Sesshomaru.
"I'm not sure." Inuyasha asked, knowing why she was asking.
"Sota wants you to go camping with him and Kohaku tonight. And since Sango's gonna be over Miroku's house, that's the perfect getaway for me." She whispered to him.
Inuyasha nodded, understanding what Kagome was saying.
Kagome smiled and clapped her hands together once. "Good. Everything is set then."
"Yash...thank you. Even though I had to literally beat you to get the answer, thanks for giving in." Kagome giggled.
"Whatever. Just don't tell Fluff Butt I told you."
"Alright." Kagome kissed Inuyasha on the cheek and watched as he drove away to go camping with Sota. Kagome walked into Sesshomaru's house, her attitude toned down for the night. She knew that Sesshomaru had made a mistake, and she knew that he was going to make up for it.
"Hello Kagome." Sesshomaru's baritone voice greeted her as she walked through the door. That same voice that made her wet with want and weak with desire.
"Hi Sesshomaru."
"Please, have a seat." Sesshomaru pulled a chair out for her.
Kagome couldn't help but smile as she noticed the small swipe of flour on Sesshomaru's pale cheek. His long silver hair was set free of the ponytail he normally wore it in while he was at work, and that was the way Kagome liked it. She thought that though he didn't look wild, it gave him a slightly primal look and it turned her on.
"How was your day?" Sesshomaru asked, sitting across from the young woman who'd captured his heart.
"Fairly pleasant. My History teacher was extremely nice today. I have an A in all of my classes."
"Not that that wasn't expected."
Kagome smiled and nodded. "What about you? Tell me how your day was." She knew he wanted this to go somewhere, she wasn't sure where, though.
"My day? Ah...my day was horrible. I couldn't sleep last night, and this morning I woke up with a headache. The only person who could make me feel better as giving me the cold shoulder all day. And to top it all off, Kagura came into my classroom on multiple occasions."
Kagome's eye twitched slightly. A habit she'd picked up from her father. This would happen when soemthing irritated her, but she wouldn't say anything about it. "And who was this person who could make it up?"
"You, my love." Sesshomaru looked directly into her eyes. "I am sorry for my behavior yesterday. That was unacceptable and unforgivable. It simply angered me that someone else had had you before I did, and that drove me mad."
"Sesshou, lots of people have had you before me, and you don't hear me complaining. It was only one person and he doesn't even exist anymore." Kagome said.
"He doesn't exist?" Sesshomaru was confused.
"Well...I kinda purged him from the Earth. It was a complete accident!" Kagome said.
"Kagome, you are utterly insane." Sesshomaru smirked.
"I'd like to thank the men in my life for that." She smiled. "I forgive you my Sesshou. Inuyasha explained the possessiveness of an inu, and I completely understood." Kagome leaned across the table and kissed him.
"This makes me happy." Sesshomaru mumbled against Kagome's lips.
Kagome laughed and kissed him again. "Now just what aer you concocting in that kitchen?"
"Now, now my dear. I can't allow you to cook all the time." Sesshomaru rose from the table and brought dinner to the table. "Lobster Newburg."
"Oh Sesshou you know I love seafood!" Kagome happily dug in.
An hour later, after a desert of creme brulee, Kagome let out a dainty, but satisfied burp. "That was delicious sweetheart." Her phone vibrated. It was Sango, saying that it was an emergency. "I've gotta go Sesshou." Kagome placed a quick kis to his lips and left, knowing that she and Sesshomaru were going strong and steady. Despite the fact that their relationship had to be hidden from the public.
