Teacher's Pet
Chapter 16: O-n-i-g-u-m-o Spells Trouble
"Kags, you two are gross." Inuyasha said on the way to Physics.
Kagome laughed sheepishly and blushed. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Come on Kagome. I know my brother, and I felt the tingle of your miko powers." Inuyasha explained as they walked through the door.
"Whatever." Kagome said in a sing-song voice. They took their seats and Kagome watched as Kagura, her second most hated teacher, walked to the front of the classroom in something that could only be described as inappropriate for a teacher to wear. She had on a red shirt that matched her eyes, with the top three buttons undone, showing off her lacy red bra. The skirt she was wearing was short and tight, stopping just shy of her knees with a slit that ran up the side stopping at the bottom of her thigh.
"What the hell does she have on?" Sango whispered to Kagome.
Kagome giggled a bit. "I have no idea."
"She looks like she belongs on a corner." Sango said.
Kagome laughed louder this time.
"Higurashi!" Kagura snapped.
"Yes Ms. Kaze?" Kagome asked innocently.
"What did I just say? Actually, since I just taught half of a lesson, I want you to recite Coulomb's Law."
Kagome stood up and walked to the front of the class. "The electric force acting on a point charge q1 as a result of the presence of a second point charge q2is given by Coulomb's Law. Like charges repel, unlike charges attract. Note that this satisfiesNewton's third law because it implies that exactly the same magnitude of force acts on q2. Coulomb's law is a vector equation and includes the fact that the force acts along the line joining the charges. Like charges repel and unlike charges attract. Coulomb's law describes a force of infinite range which obeys the inverse square law, and is of the same form as the gravity force." Kagome paused and looked at Kagura. "Do I need to continue?"
Kagura was at a loss for words. She was sure that she would have been able to put the little bitch that was getting in her way of Sesshomaru out of her class for not paying attention. She swallowed. "No. Sit down and don't say another word."
Kagome rolled her eyes and strutted back to her seat. All eyes were on her as she walked and sat down.
"Higurashi, what is your GPA?" Kagura asked her.
"4.8." Kagome answered.
"On a 5 point scale? That's impressive."
"Thanks." Kagome smiled.
"It wasn't a compliment."
"Well I took it as one." Kagome rebutted.
"You shouldn't have." Kagura wasn't about to let Kagome have the last word.
Kagome shrugged. "A little too late to be saying that, don't cha think?"
"What is your grade in history?" Kagura asked with a small smirk.
"Why is that any of your business?"
Kagura narrowed her eyes. "Are you arguing with me?"
Kagome tilted her head to the side. "Of course not Ms. Kaze. What would make you think that?"
"Because you constantly have something to say back to me."
"Obviously you're unable to assimilate my stimulating concepts into your blighted and retarded world-view." Kagome said, then blinked. She had no idea where that came from.
Kagura simply stared at her, not knowing exactly what Kagome had said. She simply turned back to her book and smoothed down her skirt. She finished her lesson, glaring at Kagome occasionally before the bell rang. Kagome walked out of the class with a smirk on her face.
"She won't be so damn smug in about an hour." Kagura mumbled, picking up her cell phone and punching a few buttons.
"So what are you gonna make Fluff Butt do for you?" Inuyasha asked while he and Kagome walked in Literature together.
"I'm not sure yet. I think I just want to spend the whole weekend with him." She looked at her male best friend. "No interruptions."
Inuyasha laughed. "Alright. I'll be out of your hair this weekend. But you're paying for me to stay in a hotel."
"Why won't you just stay with Miroku? You two are really close."
"Yeah, he's my best friend, right under you." Inuyasha stopped. He hated the image of Kagome under Miroku. Hell, he hated her under anybody.
"Kathleen Jeffrie Johnson, ladies and gentlemen, can any of you tell me what she wrote?" Mr. Onigumo said, stepping to the front of the class.
No one raised their hands.
"Gone. Ladies and gentlemen. Her most recent book was called Gone." Naraku said.
Kagome really wasn't paying attention, but when she heard the name of the book, she immediately looked up. Her eyes caught Naraku's and she couldn't breathe. Did Naraku Onigumo know about her and Sesshomaru?
"Miss Higurashi, you seem to know what the book was about. Can you give us an overview?" Naraku said.
Kagome gulped. "It was about...a student and a teacher. They were in a relationship."
"What subject did the teacher teach?" He asked, obviously taunting Kagome.
"H-hisstory." Kagome forced.
Naraku smirked. "Well done. You are an incredibly bright student. Are you like this in all your classes?"
Inuyasha watched Kagome and Naraku and instantly knew that he knew what was going on. "Uh Mr. Onigumo...are we gonna read that book?" He asked just to try to get the pressure off of Kagome.
"No, we're not Mr. Taisho." Naraku answered, his smile still in place.
"Then why did you ask about it?" Inuyasha narrowed his eyes.
"Simply questioning my students. Though it doesn't surprise me that Miss Higurashi knows about that book."
Kagome finally regained her composure. "Why would you say that?"
Naraku turned back to her. "Because, my dear student, are you not familiar with things of that nature?"
It seemed like there were only those two in the room, that he was singling Kagome out, challenging her. Kagome reached into her bag of tricks and pulled out a smile. She smiled brightly and cocked her head to the side. "Of course. I've read all of her books. She's truly a great author. One of my favs."
Naraku was slightly thrown off by the way Kagome handled that, but he recovered quickly. He smiled and walked to the front of the class. "That is good. That is interesting..." Naraku smirked evilly.
The bell rang and they were dismissed from class. "Miss Higurashi, will you please stay?"
"Wait for me." Kagome whispered to Inuyasha, but he was already out of her hearing range. Kagome gathered her things slowly. "What is it that you wanted Mr. Onigumo?"
"You Kagome." He walked over to the door and closed it. "I want you."
"Me?" She backed away from her slowly approaching Literature teacher. "W-what do you want with me?"
"A simple trade. I'll be quiet, if you give me what I want."
"Be quiet about what?"
"Ignorance does not suit a beauty like you." Naraku reached out and stroked Kagome's cheek.
"Stop!" She said firmly and smacked his hand away.
Naraku growled. "I will get what I want. And you will allow me to."
"There is no way!"
"Then I will alert the faculty, namely the principal, of your extra curricular activities with a certain teacher." Naraku said.
Kagome narrowed her eyes at him. "You wouldn't."
Naraku gripped Kagome's shoulders roughly and threw her backwards. "Enough talking!" The papers on his desk flew everywhere as Kagome landed on it. He climbed on top of the desk and Naraku ran his hand up her legs to cup her butt, then around her waist, and up her torso. Naraku moaned when he cupped Kagome's full breast in his hand.
"Get! Off! Me!" Kagome emphasized each word with a push of her hands.
"Make me!" Naraku said before burying his face in Kagome's neck and breathing in her scent. He shivered on top of her. He licked his lips and bit down on the creamy skin of her neck, drawing a small amount of blood.
"Don't tempt me." Kagome growled, stifling her cry of pain.
Naraku pulled back and looked into Kagome's eyes. "You know you want this."
Kagome's body began to shake and a strange purple flame lit her hands. "I. Said. Get. Off. Me."
Naraku didn't have time to react before Kagome punched him in the jaw, knocking him out cold. She quickly grabbed her things and fled from the room. She was glad that this was her last class of the day as her legs took her to the only place she knew she could go to be safe. The young blue eyed girl burst into her lover's classroom and fell into his arms, sobbing.
"What is wrong?" Sesshomaru demanded.
Kagome tried to take a few calming breaths, but she was still shaken up. Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha to lock the door and the haynou did what his elder brother silently asked him to do. Sesshomaru picked Kagome up and sat down in his chair. He rocked her in his lap, wishing he could do anything to make her pain go away. He knew that Kagome would eventually talk to him. Finally, after several minutes of rocking Kagome, she finally began to speak. "Naraku knows."
"Yes, that is what Inuyasha was telling me when he came." Sesshomaru said. Then something occurred to him. Kagome smelled like Naraku. She smelled heavily of his arousal and...Sesshomaru took another sniff...she smelled like blood. Her blood! "Kagome, you must tell me what happened."
"He...he told me that...that if I didn't give him what he wanted he was gonna tell." Kagome sniffled. "He...tried..." she gulped and lowered her voice, "...he tried to rape me. He threw me on his desk and he got on top of me...and he bit my neck..."
That explained the blood, but Sesshomaru's heart was beating fast. The beast inside of him was roaring, trying to get out. "Where is he now?" His voice was strained from the anger in his blood.
"I'll kill that bastard! I'll bet he's still in his room!" Inuyasha roared.
Kagome shook her head. "I punched him and knocked him out. He's probably gone by now because he knew I was gonna come here and tell you." She buried her face in Sesshomaru's chest. "I was so scared."
Sesshomaru started back rocking her. "Shhhh...it's ok. You did very well. I'm proud of you." He kissed her soft hair, trying to contain the anger inside of him.
Kagome hiccupped.
"Bring her home. Don't let her drive, she is not stable." Sesshomaru said.
Inuyasha nodded and grabbed Kagome's car keys from her purse. On any other day he wouldn't have dared to reach into Kagome's purse. "Can you stand?"
Kagome nodded weakly. Inuyasha was seething. He wanted to rip Naraku's head off.
"How can you be so calm?" Inuyasha asked Sesshomaru. "I wanna rip that fucking prick's head off!"
"Do not mistake my control for calm. My blood is boiling. I wish to kill him too, but Kagome is my first priority. I have to make sure she's ok." Sesshomaru explained, surprised that his voice was steady and low. He wanted to roar and release his anger the only way he was thinking. By killing Naraku. But what he'd told Inuyasha was true. He had to take care of Kagome first.
Inuyasha and Kagome walked to her car and Kagome slid numbly into the passenger's seat. "Wait...I have cheer practice today."
"They can survive for one day without you." Inuyasha said, peeling out of the parking lot, shocked that Kagome wasn't arguing with him. When they got to the house, Kagome went straight upstairs and got in the shower.
"What are we going to do?" Inuyasha asked.
"There's nothing we can do right now. Dammit!" Sesshomaru yelled. His arm lashed out and hit the first thing that he could, which was the wall. Inuyasha had to duck to avoid having a large dent in his skull. "I knew I shouldn't have put her in this position!"
Inuyasha shook his head. "This isn't your fault. There's something up with Onigumo and that Kaze bitch. They ain't right." Inuyasha shivered remembering the way Kagura had challenged Kagome earlier that day in class.
"What did you just think about?" Sesshomaru demanded.
Inuyasha shook his head. "Kagura," Inuyasha never called her by her professional name when he wasn't addressing her, "she challenged Kagome today in class. Like...oh my fucking gosh! She knows too! Today in class she asked what her GPA was and what her grade in history is. Yeah she has to know. And plus her and Naraku came to the school within days of each other. Something is up with them."
Sesshomaru nodded, knowing that Inuyasha spoke the truth. He looked towards the stairs, his heart aching for the one person who had ever touched it.
Kagome sat in the shower, letting the water run down her body. He skin was already raw and pink from scrubbing herself completely. Now she was simply staring at the water run down the drain. She wouldn't let this affect her. She couldn't. Kagome knew what she had to do. And she would do it. She nodded and stood, turning the shower off. There was only one answer.
