Chapter 3: Strange Feelings
Kagome didn't know what to think of Kaname. Sure he was powerful, and that gave her shivers of pleasure. As of lately Kagome's beast started talking to her; which was something her beast hadn't been doing since her Feudal Era days. It kept saying things like: I want him. Can we make him ours? Who is that Yuuki bitch hanging around our man? How dare she hug him! and damn those human girls in day class are annoying!
Things like that, got on Kagome's nerves. Her beast was constantly talking now. She didn't know how to handle it. But one thing she did know, was that the strange girl who transferred to night class named Maria was not to be trusted.
Maria screamed out danger every time Kagome saw her. There was something about her that Kagome just couldn't stand. She didn't know what that feeling was; but it gave her shivers of disgust as well as anger at how she seemed to be targeting Zero. Zero was the one person that Kagome wanted to help. And if Maria was going to destroy her plans for whatever plans Maria had for him; then two can play at that game.
Maybe it was the sound of Maria's voice that grated her nerves. Maybe it was the way Maria acted around the night class students. It was also the way that Maria's body screamed out possessed. It was like someone was taking a free ride in someone else's body. It was then that Kagome decided that she would do everything to help that poor girl. Kagome soon found out that there was a pure blood vampire named Shizuka Hio, who was after Zero. And it was the moment that Kagome came to Cross Academy that she noticed that Zero was slowly transitioning into a vampire himself.
It was Shizuka Hio who made him that way. Kagome would do everything in her power to help him. For that to happen she had to take out Shizuka Hio herself. Smirking to herself, she followed Maria closely. Glaring at the back of the poor girl's back, she swiftly grabbed Maria wrapping her arm tightly around her waist pulling her against her chest while the other one harshly stabbed a needle filled with fatal poison made to kill vampire's the moment it hit their blood stream. And now Maria/Shizuka only had five minutes left before she died.
It wouldn't kill the girl that Shizuka had possessed. No, it would kill Shizuka herself. This poison was fatal to all vampire's. It didn't matter how powerful they were. 'Maria' screamed in pain as the poison started to take effect. Kagome smirked, she was enjoying this. Soon Maria slumped to the floor, as the vampire who had taken control of Maria's body had left for good. Kagome gently picked up Maria's body and took her to Chairman Kaien's office. She would explain to him why Maria was unconcious and now sweating harshly as she ran with a fever from having a vampire extracted from her body. It took it's toll on a person.
Kagome walked into Chairman Kaien's office calmly all the while with Maria in her arms. Kaien taking notice of Kagome smiled at her. He then noticed Maria in Kagome's arms unconcious and with a high fever.
"What is wrong with Maria, Kagome?" Kaien asked raising an eyebrow.
"Oh, she just had a vampire extracted from her body. She will be fine in a couple days. Give her this medicine," Kagome said as she placed Maria on Chairman Kaien's couch and handed him a small bottle.
With that said Kagome walked out of his office without further explaining to him. Sighing to herself she was about to walk back to her dorm, when sher bumped into something. Kagome looked up to see Kaname standing before her, he was looking down at her and raised an eyebrow as if silently asking her what she was doing.
"Heh heh... sorry about that." Kagome said as she smiled at him warmly.
"What were you just doing in Chairman Kaien's office?" Kaname asked.
"I was dropping off Maria. She'll be fine in a couple days," Kagome said before she made a run for it using her demon speed.
Kaname raised another eyebrow, wondering what she meant. He walked into Chairman Kaien's office to see Maria on the chairman's couch unconcious and running a high fever. He had wondered to himself why she was there, he looked to Chairman Kaien with a confused look on his face.
"Kagome brought her here. She was running a high fever. She told me to give Maria this medicine and that she'll be fine in a couple days. She told me she extracted a vampire from her body..." Chairman Kaien said.
"I see. So she killed Shizuka Hio then?" Kaname said as he looked back at Maria's unconcious body.
"Yes. She did kill Shizuka Hio. How she did it is another question. Shizuka was a powerful pure blood."
"Indeed she was. Kagome confuses me." Kaname said as he admitted. He was never confused.
'How in the hell did she kill Shizuka Hio? I wanted to kill her first! It was my kill to make. How dare that bitch take it from me!' Kaname thought angrily, even though he was angry about Kagome killing Shizuka Hio, it never once showed on his face.
Kagome smirked as she was now outside Zero's dorm room. She knew what she had to do, but would he trust her yet? Sighing she knocked on his door. Moments later the door opened to reveal a shirtless Zero. Kagome's breath hitched, she never thought that Zero would look so sexy. His pants were low on his hips, as he stared emotionlessly at her. Then he glared at her as if waiting for her to answer as to why she was there.
"Why are you here?" Zero asked coldly. He knew he was beginning to her trust her. Was that a good thing?
"I have something for you." Kagome said as she pulled out a black box. She handed him the box.
"These are special pills that I have created. These pills are made with my holy ki. Take these once a week, it will purify the vampire blood in your system." Kagome said as she smiled.
His eyes widened considerably when she told him this. He didn't know what to say. Without thinking about it, he wrapped his arms around her tightly bringing her against his chest. He nuzzled her neck softly with his nose as he took in her scent.
"Thank you Kagome." He whispered into her ear. Again without thinking about it, he smashed his lips against hers.
It was now Kagome's turn to widen her eyes. 'What in the hell is Zero doing?' Kagome thought, but then she closed her eyes deepening the kiss. She ran her tongue along his bottom lip, slowly he opened his mouth. She slid her tongue into his mouth tasting him; the moment she did however, she moaned in delight. He tasted like cinnamon and vanilla, two of her favorite flavors. Pulling away from him, she searched his face as if looking for an answer as to why he kissed her.
What does he feel towards her?
What was he thinking?
She couldn't read his emotions, because his face was stoic and showed no emotions. But his eyes however softened a little when he looked back at her. Kagome wasn't sure if she should be angry or flattered.
Didn't he like Yuuki?
Why was he doing this?
Why was she asking herself these questions?
She didn't know. But one thing was for sure, she felt some sort of attraction for Zero as much as she did for Kaname.
Did she like Zero? Yes.
Did she want Zero for herself? Hell yes.
What did she feel for Kaname? Want...need...lust...love? She wasn't so sure about love. She hasn't loved anyone since Inuyasha. But she was willing to change. She was willing to open up to both Kaname and Zero. She was willing to be shared between them both. Did that make her a whore? No.
It was then that she realized it. She was in love with them both. Even though she hadn't known them for very long. She knew what love felt like. Even if Kagome wasn't willing to say the words just yet, her eyes showed the love she felt for Zero. His eyes softened a little more, he bent down and kissed her again this time not as harshly as he did before. Kagome kissed him back, closing her eyes. This was the kind of love she wanted, the kind of love she wanted from Inuyasha but he could never give her that love.
'I can't believe I'm already in love with Zero and Kaname. What is happening to me?' Kagome thought to herself.
