Chapter 2: Revised

I had woken up the next morning from the night before, feeling all refreshed. After the 'Sesshomaru' disaster yesterday I had packed up my bags, I mean come on...anyone who did that would get disqualified for sure right? But anyways, I got ready just in case even though I already knew what their descisions would be.

I was ready. The whole emotional act of 'What? Please give me another chance! I didn't mean it! Blah blah blah blah' and then the tears. It always works. And I'll run out of the room grabbing my bags and yell, 'I HATE YOU ALL!' I tried that with my mother before. Well, not exactly the same thing...but about.

I had been trying to get some candy out of my mother, but she didn't let me have some so I decided to run away. It had been hilarious, I packed my bags just the same way and started to cry. And as I was about to go out the door, my mum finally, let me have some candy. Gosh, she could have just gave me some in the first place, but I had to go through all that trouble.

Anyways, my plan was beautiful. It had took me sometime of thinking what to say...I mean..one can not be too fake. Well..I got dressed, washed and was ready to head downstairs wearing a simple tank and tight black jeans while having my hair up in a ponytail. As I opened my door and walked out, I bumped into Ruka, another competition.

She was smiling all sweetly at me. Ruka was pretty nice and all...but alittle well..simple minded. I mean, not that she was dumb..just abit slow in the head sometimes. When I had tried to talk to her the day before, it took her atleast 5 minutes to respond. She was like, 'Oh hello Kagome, I didn't see you there'

"Hey Ruka" I said.

"Hey Kagome, I saw what happened yesterday and I just hope that well...you won't get eliminated" She said giving a sorry look. But I knew she was happy, another competition gone. Everything would be easier. Atleast some one as slow as her figured out that if more people were to go away, the better chances they had.

"No problem, it wasn't your fault. It was all me and my clumsiness" I said as I rolled my eyes alittle. But I hoped she didn't notice, even though I want to get eliminated fast, I didn't want to make a bad image of myself. Okay, I admit. I was making myself look stupid..but it would be all worth it in the end right?

No it wouldn't.

Yes it would!

You're just losing your own dignity.

No I'm not.

GOD, just go get the man.

I don't like him.

"I saw that Sesshomaru was very mad..." Ruka started, patting me on the back alittle.

"Really now?" I said putting a shocked expression on my face, I knew he was going to be mad. I was trying hard not to laugh. I needed to calm myself down for the real action later on. The drama. But I felt that in my heart, nothing was really going to happen. It seemed like my hard work was going to be going down the drain. Even though it was only the first 2 days?

"And he was well...cursing and he never came back down to dinner" Ruka finished.

"Oh My GOD! I hope he didn't take it to seriously" I cried putting both of my hands up to my cheeks. I forced some fake tears out of my eyes and started bawling all over Ruka. I hadn't really been listening to her, lost in my own thoughts. But when she said he didn't come back down to dinner, it had caught my attention.

"There there Kagome, I'm sure everything will be alright"

"Really?" I sniffed.

"Come on Kagome..he might not elminate you that fast yet"

"Thanks Ruka" I said quietly and inside my head I was thinking, yeah right...he must be crazy not to, insane even! But I knew I had to think of the positives. If one thinks about the negatives all the time, than that is all they would get. So I need to be thinking positive. Positive. He will hate me. Oh wait, he already does. I think. Grrr, stupid brain.

I had taken a seat on the living room couch which had alot of space and very comfortable, too bad I couldn't take this home with me. I would've looked very nice. Mina had called us out to talk about my 'incident' last night and with todays plan with Sesshomaru. About who he was going on a date with and stuff like that.

"I can't believe you Kagome!"

Which had been from Sandy Star, but I wouldn't believe that she had never done anything bad in her life. I mean, she looked like she used to be in a gang before..even if she looked like a squirrel. Scary, I use to watch Seaweed Block Head, which had been about ocean creatures coming to life. And there had been a squirrel too. And no offense, but they were kind of similiar.

"Don't you know any manners?"

That was from Brittney Pear, but I thought she would be the one who had no manners. I had accidently went into her room once by mistake, and I would out that she was stealing the silver wares in the house and stuffing them into her dutch bag. I thought she was pretty rich before, but I found out that she was only a cheapskate.

"You're not ladylike at all"

Ughh, from Michelle Barton. But to be born on a farm, was she really ladylike also? I mean, not to be rude or anything..if she was dissing me, she couldn've used some better words. Ladylike? She should learn to be one first before saying that to me. I'm not usually a mean person, and I'm actually very friendly. But the people here really influenced me with in just 2 days! Shocking isn't it?

"I don't know why you were chosen!"

"God, what is your problem?"

"Not talking now huh?"

"You think you're all that?"

It had went on and on and on. I was just sitting there listening and listening to their annoying gibberish about last night. I knew it was something big...I mean. Look at the situation, Sesshomaru..hottest man in Japan who got hit on the face with steak at dinner by one of his maybe wife. Not that I was going to have much chance anyways, I knew the girls here had wanted to pounce on him the first day, when they had saw him.

Suddenly, I notice that everyone was quiet and I looked around and I saw that Sesshomaru...the one and only was coming in through the door wearing a black polo shirt and a pair of jeans. The polo shirt had hugged his muscles in the right places and I couldn't help but stare.

"Mr.Taisho has decided that today, he will be accompanied by Kagura and Yura to a days outing" Announced Mina, "That is all"

"What?" Cried Sandy. The squirrel was talking again. I felt myself sigh alittle. I knew she would be like this. But I was some what surprised too, although I had felt it when I had woken up this morning.

"Is there a problem Sandy?" Mina asked politely.

"I thought this meeting was about something important" She replied.

"Yeah!" Michelle followed. I could feel their hatred of me rising more and more, they thought I was getting more chances than they were. I had thought of that too, but probably because they didn't want the news of the steak incident to get out to the publicity and cause some chaos with the press.

"We thought this was about Kagome" Beryl chimed in.

"Isn't she gonna get elminated?" Mingle asked in a sing song voice.

"QUIET! Everyone. Please. And no Kagome Higurashi will not be eliminated" Mina said. I saw her rub her head alittle in frustration, I guess they had had a hard time deciding if I was going to be going or not.

"Whats the meaning of this? I thought she was. You guys said that if some one pissed off the bachelor then they will get eliminated or something" Brittney whined. While I was watching her, I was wondering if her hair was going to pop out or something with all the stress and whining. I was tired of that. Even in 2 days. I wonder how it would be in a week or so.

"That is true...but she did not piss me off as you so call" Sesshomaru stated roughly as he stood there looking all superior. He had his hands in his pockets and was looking at everybody.

The girls gasped. And I almosted fainted. He didn't want me to be eliminated! I bet he thought I was a good toy to be played with, to humiliate.

"You must be joking me" I muttered as I looked up at Sesshomaru and I found that his eyes were staring at me. It was like he had heard me or something.

"I can't believe this!" Ayumi cried. She was outraged and everyone could see it. I mean like calm down...not a very big deal. Not like I was going to stay here any longer. I'm going to try harder...he just seems to be getting crazier and crazier everyday. I knew Ayumi never did like me, her and her fake personnality's.

"Enough of this. All this fighting will just lessen the chance of one you not being chosen..and I'm sure you don't want that do you?" Sesshomaru gruffed out as he turned his back on us and walked away.

Being joked, would've been easier

After our so called meeting and that the chosen 'girls' were getting ready for their day I had headed up back to my room planning to take a nice hot shower because I had not taken one yesterday and I had felt...well..dirty. Anyways I walked into the room and stripped down my clothes and went into the washroom that was connected to my room.

And I have to say that I loved the bathroom. It was gorgeous with the smells and the vintage look. Magnificent I have to say. Well..I opened the water and watched as the water floated into the bathtub which was bigger then my dining room table.

As the water was filled up enough I took a step in and felt the warm water filling around my aching body. I slowly relaxed and started dreaming. I was in heaven and I felt my body being slowly massaged...what a nice dream.

I could feel hands rubbing my shoulders the way I liked them...wait a minute. I could feel rough hands touching my shoulders...well rubbing them as I was saying...it's still touching! I opened my eyes in horror and I turned around quickly.

I stared into a a pair of deep golden eyes and I gasped at the intensity. I blinked again hoping to get a better look but he was gone. It was surprising..but it had also scared me. Who was it? All I saw were those beautiful eyes. I decided to get out of the water quickly, hoping that maybe I'll see 'him' again.

"Shit" I silently whispered as I almost slipped on the smooth white tiles.

I quickly wrapped a bath robe around myself and went into my room, looking for something to wear. As I was clawing through my drawer, my door opened abruptly who turned out none other to be Sesshomaru, the big fat bastard with the hard rippling muscles..I mean stupid gay ass attitude that needed a lesson on how to have a better manners.

"What is it?" I muttered as I settled on a white tank top and black short shorts.

I watched him as he closed the door behind him and turned to look at me. His eyes were dark and the usual 'sparkle' I saw in his eyes were gone. Instead, they were looking at me steadily. Piercing at me as though he was going to kill me any minute, I shivered at the thought. I knew he was violent..because he had gotten violent with me before..but to kill? Nahh. Couldn't be.

"Your actions yesterday were despicable and stupid. You need to learn some manners" He growled as he backed me into a corner.

"Well I think that you should be taught some manners too" I said, my lips quivering alittle.

"Now now my little Kagome. Why don't you be a good girl and follow the rules?" He murmured as he leaned closer, his breath falling on my skin. It was getting alittle hot and I didn't like it.

"Uhh, aren't you suppose to be with Kagura and Yura right now?"

"Oh yeah, them. I still have plenty of time though" His voice was quiet, and husky. It made me think of..other stuff. I didn't like him, but that didn't mean I was attracted. DAMN, stupid ass hole. He had me in crazy little circles. I didn't like the way he had the effect upon me, the reaction he gives me. Ugh.

He leaned closer his lips almost touching mine.

"Why are you doing this?" I whispered.

He pulled back alittle, confused.

"You said I was a bad kisser. Well you didn't actually say the words..but I knew what you mean the other day. I know you have no interest in me what so ever. I'm just one of your stupid play things. So why are you doing this?" I asked. My voice shaking as I looked up at him, his eyes still dark but with a tint of gold.

"Because you're different" He murmured as he pushed his lips against mine, feeling the warmth of his lips made my knees weak. I may be a bad kisser, but he surely wasn't. I felt his rough hands holding me by the waist of my bath robe, my hands still holding my clothes. He was driving me insane. One minute he was that fucked up bastard, the other he was a nice kisser that had me head over heels. That is..with lust. Not love.

I couldn't take it anymore, I pulled back. Breathing heavily as I looked at him. My eyes in a daze, thinking that I just did something stupid. I didn't want him, I knew he was the one for me. I was just blinded by the wonder kisses and his hot hot body. Nothing else. I didn't like his hot temper or his bad manners at all. They were actually a big turn off for me. But here I was, the stupid idiot who had wanted to be eliminated from the competition only to be kissing the main guy.

How fucked up was I?

I didn't want him.

Yes you do.

Shut up.

I looked up at him. I couldn't take it anymore. Even though he was bigger and stronger, I pushed him to the door and opened it just in time for me to push him out. I wanted him to get away, to leave me alone. The other night, where he had kissed me before. I hated him for doing it. I hated how he insulted me after. He was a bastard, a prick. Sesshomaru Taisho was a jerk that I will never want to be with.

--

It had been time for dinner.

His kiss had still had me wondering, but I had made up my mind. I still wanted to leave. And I was going to give it my best. I was so jumbled up with my thoughts that I didn't actually think of my next plan. But it'll come sooner or later, they always did.

But right now, I was hungry as hell. We all walked into the hall and I sat down beside Ruka and a empty seat that was next to Sesshomaru's.

"Before we begin dinner, I want to introduce Inuyasha Taisho, Sesshomaru's half brother who will be joining us for the rest of the competition" Mina said clearly as all the whispering started and the girls talked among themselves, saying things like 'Oh my god..I wonder how will he look like?' 'Will he be as good looking as his brother?' 'I wonder if I will have the chance that he'll fall in love with me'

Suddenly, the main doors opened and Sesshomaru walked in. Dressing casual in jeans and a white t-shirt. As he walked towards his usual spot, a guy followed him. He was wearing a dress shirt and jeans, and his muscles were noticable by all. I admit that I was smitten by his looks. He was different from Sesshomaru though. They had the same feautures almost, he was softer but he had the rich boy smirk that was shown across his face.

I gasped.

He had the same eyes that I had looked into when I had taken a bath. He was the same guy that had the beautiful eyes that made me want to just keep looking at them. He was that guy. Inuyasha Taisho.

"Inuyasha" Sesshomaru gruffed out as he pointed to the seat next to mine. I closed my eyes for a minute. I couldn't believe it.

It was him.

I opened my eyes again, Inuyasha was already seated next to me, looking at me with the same intense look that he had on when he was watching me while I had bath. I looked down at my plate even though nothing had been served yet. He had seen me bathing, it must have been so embarrassing, I knew I should've been mad that he was there.

But I wasn't.

It was just surprising, although I knew that I would've gotten mad at Sesshomaru if it was him peeking. Damn.

I stiffened as I felt his legs against mine, the power that radianced from him. He was differen't from Sesshomaru like I said again. My breath became unsteady as I felt really uncomfortable beside him.

I think Sesshomaru felt my discomfort..or rather the feelings I had towards his brother because he was narrowing his eyes at me which made my heart pound even more. These two guys were going to ruin me for sure. I couldn't help but feel towards them. Although I knew that it wasn't love. It just...felt weird.

Maids from the kitchen started serving the food and the first entree was normal Chicken soup, although it looked simple, it was simply delicious. I knew I couldn't try any funny stuff since the encouter with Sesshomaru. I would just have to...do something else.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear them call my name.

"Kagome?" Mina asked again as I snapped out of it, carefully brushing my dark locks out of my face.

"Uhh, yeah?" I asked surprised, Mina didn't usually talk to us at dinner.

"Tomorrow you and Ruka will be on a date with Mr.Taisho" Mina replied, looking a bit annoyed.

"Which one?" I asked again. Puzzled.

I heard snickers around the room as one of the girls I forgot what her name was said, "Duhh, Sesshomaru, it's not like his brother is looking for a wife right now too"

I blushes as I stole a quick glance at Inuyasha, who seemed to be not paying attention to anything going around him. I also looked at Sesshomaru to see what he was doing and it seemed like he was hiting it off with Kagura, a person who I thought had a elegant appearance.

"Anyways, lets enjoy our dinner" Mina said happily as maids came back to our table to clear our soups.

"Yeah right" I murmured.
