Chapter 49: Kanna Speaks Up
"Ok Kanna. What happened?" Kagome asked as soon as the four of them were in the condo Inuyasha shared with his brother.
"You don't wanna wait on Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked.
"I'm here." Sesshomaru walked through the door. "I left as soon as you all did."
"Good." Kagome nodded and Kanna sat on the couch, trying to figure out how to tell them what she knew.
"Um…to put it simply, Naraku told Sango. It was an anonymous message with a picture attached. Hakudoshi mentioned it to me in between one of his beatings." Kanna paused, her throat getting tight. Kagome gently placed her hand on Kanna's shoulder, giving her the strength to continue. "He pretty much set it up like you've been lying to them this entire time and that you don't care. That we're replacing them as your friends."
Kagome took a moment to speak. "We have to keep Sango from telling everyone."
"Well it's obvious that Miroku already knows." Inuyasha said.
Tsubasa nodded. "So we can only assume that it won't be long before the rest of the group finds out."
"Alright. I'll try to talk to Sango tomorrow right after cheer practice." Kagome paused. "But the only thing that stumps me is why she stayed in Naraku's classroom after school."
"He's trying to turn her against you and side with him." Kanna said weakly.
"How is he gonna get her to side with him, though?" Kagome chewed her bottom lip, then shook her head. "I can't deal with this on an empty stomach."
"I'll go get some pizzas." Tsubasa offered.
"Thanks." Kagome barely turned as Tsubasa walked out of the door. She would figure this out. She had to.
That next day at school, it was easy to sense the tension between Sango and Kagome. But it was also easy to see that no one knew what was going on. Kagome tried not to think about it, and instead focus on what the unsettling feeling was in her stomach.
It wasn't until after cheer practice that Kagome tried to talk to Sango. They'd showered and were getting dressed. "Look, I know you're mad. But there are a lot more things going on here that you don't understand." Kagome said, buttoning her skirt.
Sango scoffed. "Isn't that what people say when they got caught?"
"I told you months ago that I was keeping secrets from you to protect you. Why don't you believe that all of a sudden?" Kagome was irritated.
"You told me you were dating Inuyasha. You lied. You lied to me, your best friend, Kagome. And Kanna knew. Someone who just came into the fold. And I'm pretty sure Tsubasa knows. Or does he? Should I tell him that you're just leading him on because you're a greedy attention whore who's dating our teacher?" Sango laughed bitterly. "You probably laughed at all of us for being so ga-ga over him for the longest. That's why you never said anything. Because you were already fucking him. Well, I hope you get everything that comes to you."
Kagome's anger wouldn't let her speak. Instead, it allowed tears to well in her eyes and she smirked. "Sango, thank you for letting me know what you really think about me. Thank you for showing your true colors. Because those words, the things that you just said to me, came from a deep rooted sense of jealousy that I never knew you had. So, once again, thank you for telling me the type of person that you are deep down inside."
Sango's angry expression changed to one of hurt as she watched Kagome walk away. She hadn't meant to say those things, but they came out. She was angry. "Fuck you, Kagome!" Sango screamed at her retreating back.
From the darkness of the locker room, a small figure emerged. "Wow. You really are stupid."
Sango snapped her head to the side and saw Kanna, then snorted. "Of course you're on her side. You'd follow her anywhere. You're her new little pet."
Kanna shook her head. She was furious. How could a person who claimed to be Kagome's best friend treat her like that? "You really don't get it, do you? Nothing's changed! Kagome didn't tell you because you're the school gossip. You tell things that aren't your business to tell without any regard for how they're gonna affect someone else. You're selfish for making this about you. And you're an idiot for not questioning where your information came from. You don't think something like that would come from someone who had a vendetta against Kagome? They sent it to you, her best friend, with the intent to rip you apart. And you played right into their hands." Kanna was fed up with everything going on around her. "Kagome has done nothing, nothing but try to protect you and the rest of her friends, and for you to turn on her like that is fucking disgusting." Kanna shook her head and walked out of the gym to follow Kagome.
Sango was shocked, to say the least. She let Kanna's words play over and over in her mind on the way home and realized she was right. Sango hadn't asked where the picture of Kagome and Mr. Taisho had come from. She'd only gotten mad at seeing it. She'd literally put no thought into it except that Kagome was dating their teacher, that Kagome had lied to her and was keeping a secret from her.
"Kagome, what's wrong?" Inuyasha finally asked when he, Kagome, and Kanna got to his place.
Instead of answering, Kagome simply shook her head. She went to the couch and sat down. Tsubasa knocked on the door and Inuyasha let him in. No one knew that he'd heard what Sango had said to Kagome. He went to the couch and placed his arm around the blue eyed girl with eyes swollen from crying. Kagome thought she couldn't cry anymore, but she buried her head in Tsubasa's chest and let the tears fall. No one said anything as Kagome cried herself to sleep in Tsubasa's arms.
Kagome had no idea what time it was when she woke up. But she was aware of strong arms around her and the warmth that was coming from the body attached to those arms. Kagome shifted and the person behind her groaned.
"Go back to sleep." Tsubasa mumbled, burying his head in Kagome's hair.
Kagome shuffled on the couch until she was facing Tsubasa. "Thank you."
"For what?"
"For staying. For helping." Kagome whispered, looking up into Tsubasa's eyes.
"Kagome, I told you that I'm here for you. There's something special about you that I just can't get enough of." Tsubasa kissed Kagome's forehead. Kagome lifted her head up so Tsubasa could capture her lips in a kiss. She pressed closer to him, deepening the kiss. Tsubasas hand slid down Kagome's back, to her waist, to cup her firm buttocks. He squeezed and felt himself get harder when Kagome moaned into his mouth.
"Tsubasa," Kagome breathed. "Not-"
"Now. Right. I'm sorry." Tsubasa finished for Kagome, slightly disappointed but not mad at her.
Kagome shook her head. "No, not here." Kagome looked at the other couch where Kanna was sleeping in her favorite spot.
It took Tsubasa a few seconds to register what Kagome had said before he was off the couch with her legs wrapped around him. As Tsubasa carried Kagome out of Sesshomaru's condo and to the elevator, Kagome attacked his neck, kissing and nibbling. Inside the elevator, Tsubasa kissed Kagome with all of the passion he had for her. He felt the heat coming from her core and groaned. They were finally on his floor and Tsubasa couldn't get the door open fast enough. On the way to his room, Tsubasa removed both his and Kagome's shirts. He lowered Kagome onto the bed and felt her hands over his chest and abs. Kagome brought her hands back up to Tsubasa's face and pulled him down to kiss her. Kagome wiggled underneath Tsubasa, maneuvering herself so she could take her bra off. Tsubasa reached under Kagome's skirt and slid her panties to the side, dipping his fingers into her wet, waiting hole. Kagome moaned into Tsubasa's mouth again and he swore he could've come in his pants right then. She was sexy when she did everything. Suddenly, he needed to taste her more than he needed to take his next breath. Tsubasa removed his fingers and brought them to his mouth. His thoughts had been correct. She was delicious and he needed more.
Tsubasa moved down and slid Kagome's panties off of her, bunching her skirt around her hips. He buried his face in Kagome, licking and sucking on her clit. It seemed that she grew sweeter with every lick. Kagome was writhing and moaning, her hands in Tsubasa's hair. She was close and after just a few more licks, Kagome came off the bed with an arch and a loud cry. But that didn't mean Tsubasa was done. He continued his oral assault on Kagome until tears formed in her eyes and she was screaming his name. Kagome was coming down from her second orgasmic high when she saw Tsubasa looking down at her, a smile on his face that was covered in her essence. Kagome moaned and flipped their positions, taking his pants off at the same time. She slid herself down onto his erection and hissed. It had been a while since she'd had sex and Tsubasa was, well, pretty damn big. Kagome moaned and her head fell forward. She braced her hands on Tsubasa's chest and bounced on him, closing her eyes and biting her lip.
The brown eyed bear demon watched Kagome, as she rode him to her own completion. She was more beautiful than he could have ever imagined, with her breasts bouncing in his face He brought his hands to her hips, helping her move, and let out a guttural grunt as her inner muscles tightened and clamped down on him. "Holy fuck, Kagome." Tsubasa moaned. He knew he wouldn't be able to take much more. Kagome was already tight, but when she came, dear God she felt so good it should've been illegal.
Kagome rolled her head to the side, loving the feeling of Tsubasa inside of her. He stretched her perfectly. She gasped when he flipped their positions, gaining control. He slid in and out of her at a brutal pace, making her claw at his back and pant for breath. Kagome bit Tsubasa's shoulder, earning a grunt and a rather quick thrust of his hips. That caused Kagome to have yet another orgasm, and coaxed one out of Tsubasa. Kagome had her legs wrapped so tightly around Tsubasa that there was no chance of him pulling out of her, which was fine with him. She wasn't in heat, so there was no chance of impregnating her. Tsubasa clung to Kagome as he struggled to catch his breath.
"Tsubasa," Kagome said, sleepily. "I have to go."
Tsubasa couldn't help the anger that spread through his chest. "Why?!"
Kagome laughed and rubbed his back. "No, sweetie. I have to go to the bathroom."
"Oh." Tsubasa pulled out of Kagome and both of them hissed at the sensation. He watched as Kagome hobbled to the bathroom. After a few minutes, she hobbled back and got under the covers with him.
Kagome yawned and wrapped herself in Tsubasa's arms. She didn't regret what they'd just done. Tsubasa had proved that he would be there for her and she knew that she really cared about him. She kissed the arm that was closest to her face.
"Kagome, you know this means you're my girlfriend now, right?" Tsubasa said, kissing Kagome's shoulder.
She turned to face him. "What if I don't wanna be your girlfriend? What if I just want to have really hot sex with you all the time?" She asked with a smile.
"Well, I mean I know that sex with me is amazing." He smirked. "But you're not getting this milk for free."
"Oh Tsu that's gross!" Kagome laughed. "Of course I know that means I'm your girlfriend." Kagome kissed him lightly on the lips and put her head on his chest, falling asleep quickly.
Tsubasa was the happiest person in the world in that moment. Nothing would make his night any better.
Kagome groaned the next morning and buried her face deeper into the warmth that enveloped her.
"If you don't wake up, we're going to be late for school." Tsubasa said.
"I don't wanna go to school." Kagome whined, holding Tsubasa closer. "Just stay here and hold me."
Tsubasa chuckled. "I'd love to do that." He moaned when Kagome reached down and stroked him to a full erection. "W-what are you do-doing?"
Kagome looked up at him and smiled. "Oh nothing." She said before she disappeared under the covers.
"Where the hell were you last night?" Inuyasha asked Kagome accusingly when she walked through the door. Kagome made eye contact with Kanna, who gave her a knowing smile.
"Not now. I don't have time. And I need to shower and change." Kagome rushed past him, having already masked the scent of Tsubasa on both her body and her breath. While she was in the shower, Tsubasa entered the condo and waited with two cups of coffee for himself and Kagome.
Kagome came back downstairs with her hair still damp and wearing a sweater dress, leggings, and boots. "Is that for me?" She asked when she saw the coffee in Tsubasa's hand.
"Yes." He handed her the coffee.
"Thank you." Kagome looked up and kissed Tsubasa on the lips.
"Gross! You two fucked?!" Inuyasha exclaimed, frowning. He'd finally given up on his own feelings for his best friend, knowing that she didn't feel the same. That's not to say that if she fell in love with him he'd turn her down, because he definitely wouldn't. He just wasn't going to think about being with her anymore.
Kagome laughed. "Oh don't be a child, Yash."
Kanna joined in Kagome's laughter. "I'm surprised you made it all the way upstairs."
"It was difficult, I'll tell you that." Tsubasa put his arm around Kagome's waist and pulled her closer.
"I left my phone upstairs. I'll be right back then we can leave for school." Kagome handed her coffee to Tsubasa and dashed back up the stairs. On her way back down, she missed a step and tumbled to the ground. When she was at the bottom of the stairs, she burst into laughter.
"Kagome, are you ok?!" Tsubasa put the coffees down on the table and rushed to Kagome, who was turning red with laughter.
"I'm-I'm fine!" Kagome said through bursts of laughter. Tsubasa helped her up and he felt a strange breeze in her nether regions. "Dammit! I have a hole in my leggings." She pulled them down. "Yep, right in the crotch. And I don't have time to change them. Oh well. I'll just make sure I sit with my legs closed today."
"Kags, I hope you sit with your legs closed every day." Inuyasha said.
Kagome shrugged. "It depends." She smiled.
The four of them barely made it to school on time. They were both thankful for and terrified of Kagome's driving. Especially since the roads were slick with slush from the snow.
"See you in History?" Kagome asked Tsubasa when he walked her to her first class.
"Of course." He bent down and gave Kagome a kiss.
Not long after her study hall started, Kagome's phone vibrated with a text message.
Meet me in the stairwell by the office. It was from Tsubasa.
Kagome got a pass and met him where he wanted. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to repay you for this morning." He backed her into the corner of the less used stairwell and attacked her neck. Kagome giggled then moaned. Tsubasa turned her around so that she was facing away from him. Kagome heard the unzipping of his pants and braced her hands on the wall. Tsubasa entered her through the hole she'd ripped in her leggings, going slowly at first, but then setting a brutal pace that had Kagome gasping for air. Tsubasa swallowed a strained grunt as Kagome came on him. Hard. He had to cover her mouth with his hand so she wouldn't scream. She moved his hand to where his first two fingers were in her mouth as he continued to slam into her. By the time Tsubasa was ready to come, Kagome was ready again and they reached their orgasms at the same time.
Tsubasa pulled out of Kagome and zipped his pants before stepping to her. A few strands of her hair clung to her forehead from sweat. "I don't wanna go back to class." Kagome whined. She leaned into Tsubasa and nibbled on his ear.
"Mmmm. Baby, if you keep doing that, neither of us will make it to class the rest of the day." Tsubasa said to his girlfriend.
Kagome masked their scents, and the scent of what they'd done before they went back to class. Kagome was feeling great, until she got to Sesshomaru's class and saw Sango. But when Tsubasa came up behind her, she smiled.
They walked to their seats. Kagome felt Sesshomaru's eyes glaring at them but she didn't dare look his way. She sat beside Sango in her usual desk and ignored her completely. Even when Kagome dropped her pencil and Sango handed it back to her, Kagome gave a cold, "Thank you." And turned back to her work.
Sango settled back into her seat. She knew she'd been wrong the previous day with what she'd said to Kagome. What she didn't know, though, was how to fix it.
At lunch, Sango thought to get Kagome's plate, but that didn't seem like enough. And the fact that Kagome didn't even show up for lunch. Neither did Inuyasha, Kanna, or Tsubasa. Sango wondered where they could be.
"I don't know what we should do." Kanna said.
"I say we keep this up. Like I said, Naraku doesn't know that we know. He expects us to come barging in, half cocked and mess something up." Kagome shrugged. "Plus, until we know what his exact plan is, there's really nothing we can do. He turned Sango against me, so he probably wants her to tell the rest of our friends so they can hate me, too."
"And are you prepared to handle that?" Tsubasa asked.
Kagome shrugged again. "I have you. And Yash and Kanna. You know the truth and you'll help me get rid of Naraku."
"Of course we will." Tsubasa kissed Kagome's forehead and she smiled, leaning into him. "As long as you want me here, I'll be here, Kagome."
Sesshomaru watched with disgust. The bear wasn't dating his miko. There was no possible way, he refused to believe it. He cleared his throat. "We must prevent Sango from telling the school about our relationship, miko."
"You're right." Kagome said. "Even though it's over, Sango has pictures, or at least a picture. And who knows how many more Naraku have."
"So we make you and Sango make up?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome shook her head. "It's not that simple. She's stubborn."
"Just tell her that Naraku tried to rape you. And that he locked Kanna in a fucking warehouse. This is stupid and frustrating!" Inuyasha grunted. "Naraku's a piece of shit asshole and he needs to fucking die!"
"Yash, calm down." Kagome stepped to her best friend. "I know it's frustrating. But we'll figure it out. We'll figure it all out. I promise."
The bell rang, signaling that lunch was over. "Come on, it's time for class." Kanna told her friends.
Kagome sighed. "Great. Kagura's class." She rolled her eyes and spared at Sesshomaru before she walked out of the classroom. "You go on inside. I'll be there in a minute." She told Kanna and Tsubasa while putting Inuyasha's arm in a death grip.
Inuyasha saw that Kagome's face was pale. "What's wrong?"
Kagome was trying her best not to hyperventilate. "I can't do this Yash. I can't do it."
"Can't do what?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome slid down the lockers with her head in her hands. "This! Everything! I can't have a functioning relationship with Tsubasa while trying to figure out what the fuck Naraku's plan is and hate Sesshomaru for cheating on me and we have to stop Naraku! I can't do it! I can't! I don't feel like dealing with everything." Kagome was crying. "He tried to rape me Yash! And he turned m very best friend against me! I can't fucking do this!" Kagome sobbed into her hands.
"Mr. Onigumo tried to rape you?" Sango's voice came from in front of them.
Kagome gasped and yanked her head up, accidentally hitting it on the lockers.
"Are you serious Kagome?" Sango was on her knees in front of her best friend.
Kagome's tears came harder then. "Oh Sango! There's so much you don't know." Kagome's body shook with sobs.
"Inuyasha, tell Miss Kaze that we're gonna be late for class." Sango said.
"No! She…she can't know that we're together." Kagome stopped crying. She sniffed. "It needs to look like you still hate me. At least for now."
Sango shook her head. "I don't…I don't understand."
"No, but I promise I'll explain everything." Kagome told her best friend with finality.
Sango nodded, feeling stupid for ever doubting the girl that she'd grown up with. "I'm sorry." Sango whispered.
Hey guys! I know it's been a long time but I'm back now! I missed y'all and I hope y'all missed me! R&R!
