Teacher's Pet

Chapter 18: Shadow

It was the next morning in the shower that Kagome had another episode. Thankfully Sesshomaru was showering with her or she would have surely drowned.

"What did you see?" He asked as he sat on the bathroom floor, both of them naked and dripping wet.

Kagome gasped for breath. She had to find a way to control this, she couldn't let it control her. "He told Kagura to come into your class this afternoon and corner you. He wants us seperated Sesshou."

"That will not happen. What will Kagura try to do?" Sesshomaru asked her.

"She said she's gonna seduce you."

"I know someone who can do a much better job at that." Sesshomaru smirked and kissed Kagome.

Kagome laughed and got up. "If I don't get dressed now I'm gonna be late." She stood and Sesshomaru placed a hand on her firm buttocks.

"Mine." He growled.

Kagome laughed again. "Yes. Yours and no one elses." She went into his bedroom and put on a black skirt and a red shirt. Sesshomaru followed her and when he saw how much clevage Kagome's shirt showed, he frowned in disapproval.

"You cannot wear that to school." Sesshomaru said firmly.

"Why not?" Kagome asked.

"Because I will not allow those males at the school to ogle what is mine." He stated.

Kagome pouted for a second before she changed shirts. She didn't want to upset Sesshomaru, and she knew he was right. A slightly more modest shirt was pulled from the closet, but it still showed too much chest for Sesshomaru.

"During winter break we are going shopping." Sesshomaru told her.

"Where are we going?" Kagome asked him.

"America. Probably Hawaii. After Christmas." Sesshomaru had been thinking about taking a vacation with Kagome, but he didn't know how she would respond.

"Oh that would be wonderful!" Kagome squealed. "Then we can be together without having anyone look at us funny!" Kagome hugged Sesshomaru and smushed her breats against his rock hard stomach.

"Miko, if you do not release me you will not make it to school on time."

Kagome blushed. "I'm leaving." She gave Sesshomaru a quick kiss and darted out of the door. "Come on Yash!" She yelled over her shoulder.

"I'm coming!" Inuyasha was running down the stairs.

At school, Naraku called Kagome into his classroom at the beginning of the day. "Stand outside of the door." She whispered lowly to Inuyasha who nodded in response.

"Yes Mr. Onigumo?" Kagome asked when she was in the room. She stayed close to the door while he walked to his desk.

"I believe that you misunderstood what happened yesterday."

"No, I think I understood correctly. You tried to rape me." Kagome hissed.

"Oh...then you did understand. But I must tell you that things would've gone much smoother if you had've just cooperated." Naraku said.

"You're sick. You know that?"

"I have been called many things my dear, and that is most certainly one of them."

Kagome rolled her eyes and left. It made her sick to her stomach to be in the same room, the same school, the same building and planet as him. She walked to her first class with her stomach still churning. She knew that Inuyasha had already let Sesshomaru know because her phone vibrated with a text message from her lover.

Are you ok? He asked her.

Kagome smiled and snuck and replied with Yes I'm fine.

That makes me happy.

Kagome didn't have time to send her reply before the bell rang. She quickly packed her things and walked to her next class. It wasn't until Sesshomaru's class that she had another vision from Naraku's eyes. Only this time, she had better control over it. Sesshomaru glanced at Kagome and immediately knew what was going on. Her pupils had gotten much smaller and her entire body went rigid.

His heartbeat sped up and didn't show any signs of slowing until Kagome came out of the trance she was in. Kagome blinked a few times and she knew her face was completely drained of color. She leaned over to the side of her desk and bent her head down, letting the blood rush to her face and get some color. Kagome glanced up at the front of the class and saw that Sesshomaru was watching her from the corner of his eyes. She gave him a small smile, letting him know that she was alright. When the bell rang, she grabbed Inuyasha and made him stay behind in Sesshomaru's room.

"Naraku is gonna be watching us. All of us. A lot." Kagome told them.

"Watching us how?" Inuyasha asked.

"When I was inside his mind or looking through his eyes or whatever, he told Kagura that he was gonna start keeping a keen eye on us." Kagome shivered. "Kagura is walking down here."

"How do you know that?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Because they share part of the same aura. I can feel Naraku's aura, and I can feel Kagura's. It's different from me being able to feel anyone else's though. It's like...it's a part of me or something." Kagome shivered again.

"Miko, we will figure this out. I promise you." Sesshomaru hugged Kagome.

"I know." Kagome looked at him and smiled. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed his lips.

"If you two are done here, Kagura is close and I'm ready to eat lunch." Inuyasha said boredly.

Kagome laughed. "Come on Inuyasha. I'll buy your lunch." They left out of Sesshomaru's room before Kagura rounded the corner and saw them.

At lunch, Kagome was wondering exactly how Naraku was planning to keep an eye on them. Her thoughts were answered when she felt another aura that made her shiver. She looked around and saw a young girl who looked like she belonged in elementary school instead of high school. "Hey, who's that?"

Sango looked up and saw who Kagome was talking about. "Oh that's Kanna. I forgot her last name. She just got here in first period today."

Kagome looked at Inuyasha and knew that he couldn't sense the resembalance between this Kanna girl, Naraku, and Kagura. Now that Kagome thought about it, the only thing she could sense about Kanna was her relation to Naraku. She really didn't have any other aura. No defining qualities. Kagome asked Inuyasha could he smell her and he shook his head. This wasn't good. This wasn't goos at all.

By the time Kagome got in Kagura's class, she'd learned nothing about the new girl. She didn't talk to anyone. She didn't look at anyone. She was just...quiet, and Kagome was the only person who felt the connection with Naraku.

"It seems we have a new student. Could you please tell the class your name?" Kagura told her.

"Kanna." She said. Her voice was small and quiet, just like her.

"Welcome to the class Kanna." Kagura was smiling too much at Kanna. If Kagome hadn't known it before, Kagura's smiling at the young looking girl definitely gave it away. "Do you need someone to show you around the school? What am I saying? Of course you do. Kagome, would you mind showing Kanna around the school?"

Kagome smiled. "Of course I wouldn't." Bingo. That was how they were gonna keep a watch on her.

"I knew you would say that." Kagura smirked.

"I'm sure you did." Kagome mumbled and rolled her eyes. After class, Kagome asked to see Kanna's schedule. She saw that that morning she'd had her classes changed so her schedule reflected Kagome's perfectly. "Well, you have every class with me. Let's go to our next class."

Kanna followed Kagome around for the next couple of days, meaning Kagome stayed out of Sesshomaru's roomfor any...extracirricular activities. But that didn't mean Kagome couldn't go over Inuyasha's and Sesshomaru's house after school. After she checked on Sota,of course.

"Kags, where do you go everyday after school?" Sota asked.

Kagome laughed. "That's none of your business."

"But Mom is gonna start asking questions." Sota warned.

"She isn't. I'm always here whenever she needs something. And that isn't that often. And I always make sure you're fed before I leave."

"You're talking like I'm a dog."

Kagome laughed again and ruffled Sota's hair. "Well you're kinda scruffy like a little puppy."

Sota pushed Kagome's hand away and quickly fixed his hair. "Well I'm spending the night over Sango's tonight."

"Alright. Pack clean underwear." Kagome was about to walk out of the door when Sota caught her arm. She could tell there was something wrong with him. "What's wrong So?"

He looked at the ground. The young boy really didn't want to tell his sister what was wrong with him. Tears filled his bright blue eyes, those eyes that the siblings got from their father.

Kagome dropped to her knees and hugged her little brother. "What's wrong Hotaru?" Kagome used the nickname their father had given Sota when he was younger.

"I don't..." Sota sniffed. "I feel like I don't see you as much as I used to."

Kagome gave a sad small smile. "I'm really sorry Sota." Then Kagome had an idea. It wasn't a smart one...but it would give her time to spend with her little brother. "How about we go over Inuyasha's house?"

"But Mom says you're not supposed to spend the night over a boy's house." Sota said.

"I won't tell if you won't. Besides, when was the last time the three of us hung out?" Kagome was smiling.

"Alright!" Sota was excited. He loved being with his big sister, and Inuyasha was like a brother to him. So putting both of them together made him happy.

Kagome smiled. They both packed to spend the night and then hopped in Kagome's car after leaving a note for their mother, not like she was going to wonder where they were. Mrs. Higurashi was barely seen in her own home. She was normally in her office doing a lot of work since she worked for a very famous law firm. She constantly gave her children allowances so they wouldn't mess with her. If money kept them quiet, then she had plenty to spare. It bothered Kagome, but she liked to shop, and she'd been taking care of her brother since she was younger so she stayed out of her mother's hair.

"So do you wanna make a pizza at Inuyasha's house?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah! Wait...can Inuyasha cook?" Sota was skeptical.

Kagome laughed. "Yes." She was about to say something else, but a light in her rearview mirror caught her attention. There was something about that car that looked familiar. Kagome tried to think back and she remembered seeing it around the corner from her house. And behind her every minute since. Kagome pressed her foot to the gas and switched lanes.

"Sis, you know you're speeding right?" Sota saw the worried look on his sister's face and instantly wondered what was going on.

Kagome made it to Sesshomaru's house in record time and pressed the button on the garage door opener that Sesshomaru had given her a while ago. She knew that whoever was in that car was following her, she didn't want her car parked on the street. And it was a good thing that Sesshomaru had a three-car garage. Kagome got out of the car and rushed to Sota's side. She put her hand on either side of his face. "Sota, I need you to listen to me. There are some things going on that you may be too young to understand right now. I just need you to trust me and Inuyasha and Inuyasha's big brother Sesshomaru, ok?"

"I trust you Kags." Sota said with so much sincerity it could've made Kagome cry.

"You're the best little brother in the world." She kissed his forehead and covered their auras. They walked into the house with their overnight bags in their hands.

"Kags and Sota!" Inuyasha flew down the stairs and engulfed Kagome in a hug and spun her around. He reached down and ruffled Sota's hair.

"Ugh! What's up with you two loving to do that?" Sota fixed his hair. "Hi Inuyasha."

Sesshomaru came out of the kitchen and noticed that Kagome had covered hers and Sota's auras. "What is wrong?"

"Sota, this is Inuyasha's big brother, Sesshomaru. Sess, this is Sota." Kagome introduced them.

"I have heard much about you." Sesshomaru said.

Sota looked from Kagome to Sesshomaru and automatically knew what was going on. "So you're dating my sis? Ew."

Kagome had to smile and shake her head. "You're too smart for your own good kid."

"I learned from you and Dad." Sota smiled. "Yash, I was promised pizza and I want it."

Inuyasha and Sota disappeared into the kitchen.

"We were followed on the way here." Kagome told Sesshomaru.

"By who?"

"I don't know. I couldn't feel an aura. I couldn't sense a damn thing. I...it was Kanna." Kagome figured out. "She figured out a way to get Naraku's aura from hers. Damn!" Kagome was frustrated.

"The new student? Yes...I didn't feel an aura from her."

"Damn! This makes things so much harder." Kagome chewed her bottom lip, knowing that she was right.
