Chapter 4: He Kissed Me
It had been days when she finally admitted her feelings to herself. Kagome wasn't one to convey her feelings out in the open, it was the kind of person she was. To be falling in love with Zero and Kaname at the same time, it had to be a crime. No one should be feeling love for two men. No one should have to choose like she was struggling too. But she didn't want to choose, no she wanted them both.
Her beast was still annoying the hell out of her. It constantly faught her for control, roaring at her, telling her she needed to be near Zero and Kaname at all times. She didn't know how to respond to that. Her beast wanted something, and that something was the two hottest students in Cross academy. How the mighty has fallen...
This was Kagome's secret, the one she wished to keep hidden from everyone. But somehow Yuuki had caught on to her deepest desires.
"Kagome, tell me what you feel for Zero and Kaname-sempai." Yuuki said as she suddenly appeared walking beside Kagome.
Kagome looked from the corner of her eye at Yuuki. The one girl she didn't want to be around, the one girl that felt like a huge threat to her, in winning the affections of Zero and Kaname. Why Yuuki insisted in calling Kaname, Kaname-sempai. It made Kagome feel like twitching her eyebrow in irritation. Frustration maybe, and make her scream out her frustrations. Back at home, she had things that she could take her frustrations out on. And that something was the evil youkai that constantly attacked her in the Feudal Era. Those times were done and over with now.
"I don't have to answer to you, Yuuki. Don't you have someone else to annoy?" Kagome snapped.
"Jeez, you didn't have to bite my head off, Kagome. I was just asking..." Yuuki mumbled as she frowned.
"Then don't ask me." Kagome said as she growled.
With that said, Kagome used her demon speed and vanished from Yuuki's sight. Yuuki frowned. She wanted to be Kagome's friend, but with how things were going Kagome was making that very difficult.
Kagome didn't talk to her about anything. Wasn't that what friends did? In Kaogme's eyes she was not her friend. Yuuki knew this, yet she continued to try. One of these she feared that Kagome would really take her head off her shoulders. The cold glares Kagome would often give her were scary as hell. She didn't know what she did to deserve them. Maybe it was her constant butting in to know everything in Kagome's life. Yuuki knew that Kagome was a private person and didn't put her life on a silver platter for everyone to see.
"Yuuki. Why do you continuously annoy Kagome?" the sound of Zero's voice made her jump.
"I don't annoy her intentionally Zero. I just want to know more about her," Yuuki said frowning.
"You won't get it that waym idiot." Zero frowns, he couldn't believe Yuuki's intelligence.
If Kagome didn't want to be bothered, she obviously didn't want to be borthered. Kagome was the type of person that loved to keep her emotions, her reasoning and what she truly feels to herself. He hadn't know her for long, but he had her down to a T by now. He could tell that Kagome didn't like Yuuki, the reason why was unknown to him.
The chairman had once told him that Kagome had feelings for someone. He didn't know who that someone was. She obviously didn't want Yuuki knowing either. Sighing, he walked off in search of Kagome, hopefully to find out why she ran off.
About what seemed like an hour of searching he finally found her. She was by the fountain, it was his favorite place to be at times as well. She looked to be deep in thought, not really seeing, just staring at that one spot in the trees.
She had a scowl set in place, as if she was really pissed off about something. Or rather someone.
"Kagome, you should just allow Yuuki to know you. Not that I care or anything but she's really trying." Zero said, the sound of his voice breaking her out of her thoughts.
"I don't want to know her, Zero. I don't want her trying to know me either." Kagome snapped.
"Just try, for me." Zero said as he placed his hands on her shoulders and started to massage them.
Kagome sighed, she nodded. If it was for him, then she will try. Kagome in her short time at the Academy, came to know Zero, slowly. He was cold and distant at first, but he came around. They always did. She felt Zero slowly turn her around to face him. She looked into his lavender eyes. Even now, his eyes didn't reveal any emotion. They were cold as ice. She couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Suddenly without warning he leaned in, taking her lips with his. The kiss was passionate, it was gentle. Kagome closed her eyes, kissing him back. When he pulled away, she put her fingers to her lips. She was shocked that he had kissed her. She didn't know what to think, or what to do. She was scolding herself mentally for even kissing him back. She hadn't really sorted out her feelings. Even though she knew that she wanted both Kaname and Zero. She wanted to take things slow. After all she wasn't in a rush.
"Why did you do that?" Kagome asked tilting her head.
"Because I like you, Kagome. I want to get to know you, I want to be closer to you. If you will let me that is." Zero said as he pulled Kagome flush against his body.
Kagome blinked slowly, before she took a deep breath. She nodded, she will give him a chance. It was all she could do. As long as he took things slowly, she was fine with him getting to know her, to get closer to her.
"I want to take things slowly, Zero. I don't want to rush anything," Kagome said.
He nodded, he agreed with Kagome one hundred percent. Yes, taking things slowly was a good idea. It was in that moment that Kaname stepped out of the trees. His face was stoic, not showing any emotion. She didn't know what he was thinking either.
"Kaname. What are you doing here?" Zero snapped coldly as he glared at the vampire for interrupting his time with Kagome.
"Taking a walk. Can't I be here too? It is a free country after all. Hello Kagome." Kaname said then he noticed Kagome standing closely to Zero.
He also noticed Zero's arms around Kagome's waist. His eyes narrowed, he didn't like that one bit.
"Get your hands off her, Zero..." Kaname said in a warning tone as he snarled bearing his fangs.
"No. She's mine, I will not hand her to you." Zero growled out angrily.
"Enough, boys. Play nice, I am both of yours." Kagome said trying to stop them from fighting.
"Both of ours? I'm afraid I don't share," Kaname hissed.
"Neither do I." Zero said coldly.
"Well you both are going to have to fucking learn how to share now aren't you?" Kagome snapped as she glared at both of them.
They both nodded, both terrified of Kagome's angry glare. What can they say she was a scary woman when she wanted to be.
'I love Kagome. I really do, I have finally admitted it to myself. Now all there's to do is tell her.' Zero thought as he looked down fondly at Kagome.
'She will be mine. If I have to share her with Zero, I will do so. Just to keep her happy.' Kaname thought also looking at Kagome fondly.
'Zero kissed me! He really kissed me...' Kagome thought to herself.
