Chapter Eight

Come Thursday morning, Kagome had no choice but to go back to school. Seeing that she wasn't actually sick and was trying to avoid something, her parents had forced her to go to school. She had bitched and moaned, but nothing seemed to work.

Right now, she was stuck in the passenger side of the car listening to some old country music while her dad drove. And to make matters worst, when they arrived at school her dad even had the audacity to walk her inside the school building and made sure she went to her first bell class. After that, he planted a small peck on her forehead and waved her off as other students only stared at the scene before them. As much as she loved her adoptive parents, she was petrified right now. Did they have to embarrass her like that? Rolling her eyes back, she laid her head on her desk as she waited for the bell to ring.

When it did, she looked around the room searching for the man that had haunted her dreams every night. Coming upon amber eyes, Kagome could see that they were staring straight back at her. She swiftly turned around and started to pay attention to the teacher's stupid lecher. Her eyes furrowed as anger erupted within her. She wanted so badly to just go to him and teach that bastard a lesson, but the other part of her was scared as hell.

All of the youkai and some of the humans in the classroom could feel the tension coming out of the new girl, Kagome. Sesshomaru was no exception. He wasn't sure what to do with himself at this point. From what he had learned from Miroku, Kagome hadn't been raped in the past. According to the documents that Miroku had given him, Kagome's parents had died when she was seven and she was adopted after that.

If she had been the girl from his past then there must have been a reporting of a rape case in her profile. If not then she could be some psychotic who escaped from the hospital. If that was the case then Sesshomaru was defiantly going to keep a close eye on her, but right now Sesshomaru could see her aura spiking.

When the bell rang, Sesshomaru decided to have a little chat with Kagome, but that seemed impossible when she was anticipating for the bell to ring so she could get her stuff and get the fuck out of there. She didn't need to deal with him right now and having him stare down her back the whole entire time in class wasn't easy either.

Sesshomaru had almost caught up to her when he was stopped by none other than Yura. She wrapped her arms around his waist and made a horrible attempt to 'woo' him into seeing her this weekend.. All Sesshomaru did was push her aside and left her in the dust. Not even looking back to see if he had hurt her or not, but he did hear her cursing at him, which only made him smirk to himself. Right now he had other priorities and they didn't include her.

It seemed like she was running for her life when an arm grabbed her and swung her around into a firm chest. Kagome was going to tell the guy off when she noticed that it was Naraku.

"What's the hurry? There's plenty of time for you to get to your next bell class," Naraku said smoothly. His arms wrapping around her waist possessively. Kagome wanted to explode that instant. How dare he treat her like a possession, but the fear was evident in her eyes as she saw Sesshomaru stalking towards her. All she wanted was for him to go away but everywhere she turned she saw him.

Not knowing what to do, she held on to Naraku for dear life. Her arms wrapped around his neck and she shut her eyes hoping that the nightmares would go away.

Naraku was surprised to say the least, he thought she would push him away like the previous day but he was wrong. What he got astounded him and it only made him chuckle to himself. He stared into the eyes of his enemy wearing the apparent smirk on his face showing his victory.

Sesshomaru could only hold back so much as he wanted to punch the smirk off Naraku's face. Out of all the people she ran into, it had to be Naraku. Sesshomaru held his cool even though he could feel the blood rushing down his palm from his nails digging into his skin. He quietly walked away going to his next bell class.

"He's gone," Naraku whispered into Kagome's ear. He could feel the tension between the two a mile awhile. He was just glad to have saved her from the impeccable dog.

Kagome stared, seeing Sesshomaru's retreating back. She let out the breath she held in for awhile now. Everything seemed to be happening so fast she didn't know what to say. Pushing Naraku back, Kagome couldn't help but blush.

"Thank you," Kagome whispered.

"The pleasures all mine Kagome," Naraku said smiling evilly inside.

"I better be getting to class soon," Kagome said hurriedly, "I don't want to be late."

"Like I said before, there's no hurry. Let me walk you to your class," Naraku said slyly.

"Alright," Kagome said walking quietly next to him.

"Maybe the school year won't turn out as badly as I thought it would. If I hang around Naraku, Sesshomaru surely wont bother me. And since they hate each other so much, I won't have trouble getting Naraku to help me revenge my past," Kagome said inside her mind. Evil plots were beginning to form inside her mind as a unknown devious smirk formed on her face.
