Chapter 2

"Rise and shine! We need to get going now!" Sango shouted as she shook Miroku and Kikyou.

"Sango…" Miroku muttered as his hand reached out for Sango.

WHAM!

He was being slammed by Sango's Hiraikotsu, badly. He woke up immediately and started rubbing his bruises. Kikyou woke up too, from the noises created.

'Let's go! We don't have much time to spare!" Sango said and stressed it especially for the boy, "We still have school!"

They were walking for quite some distance when Kikyou heard a voice in her head which she presumed was Sesshomaru's.

"Wait for a while..." (They are using telepathy)

"What are you doing?"

"I'm merging into your shadows so that you won't look so awkward with a vampire beside you."

"Whatever you say then, but please hurry up…"

"Are you alright? You seemed to slow down a lot…"Sango turned around, "if we don't hurry up, we might miss school."

"Okay." Kikyou said as she plastered a smile on her face.

"Done!"

"Finally! I thought you would take ages to get it done."

"I AM NOT THAT SLOW!"

'Hey! No need to get so worked up! Anyway when are you coming out?"

"stupid wench! Vampires can only come out at night, what else!"

"Sorry…"

The forest was quiet. Kikyou and Sesshomaru did not talk to each other for a moment, same as Sango and Miroku. The tension between them was growing when Sango finally broke it.

"Kikyou-san, I found this book at that mansion… Maybe you want to see it…"She drew out a tattered book from her pocket. At once, Kikyou felt a surge of pain going through her body.

"That's my DIARY!"Sesshomaru exclaimed as Kikyou's hand suddenly snatched the book from the girl. Sango stared at Kikyou's reaction.

"What have just happened? My hand, it was Sesshomaru controlling it, which means that… HE IS ABLE TO CONTROL ME!" Kikyou thought and gasped as she realized the fact.

"Are you really alright, Kikyou? You don't look well…" Sango asked worriedly upon seeing that Kikyou's face was turning white.

"N-no… let's continue…"

"Tell us if you are not feeling well, okay?"

"Okay…"

Kikyou stared at the diary in her hands. Why was Sesshomaru so agitated over this book? What so special about it? She was about to open the book when an unseen force was pushing against her hands, preventing her from opening the book.

"Stop it! It takes a lot of willpower to control your hands alone and I will be needing lots of blood for that."

"Why don't you just let me open the book?"

"It's my personal Diary! Why should I show you?"

"Come on… please?"

"No"

"Pretty please?"

"NO!"

"Okay, you win."

After walking for about ten minutes or so, they finally reached a clearing revealing, their school.

"Oh no!" the bell is going to go off in another five minutes time!" Miroku shouted as the three ran to the building. Luckily, they managed to get there on time. Kikyou wasn't surprised when she saw Kagome's shocked face.

"Kagome…"

"Stop it, sister. Even if you have come back, there will be no place for you to stay in."

"What do you mean?"

"Inuyasha has moved in…"

Kikyou could not believe her ears. Kagome betraying her own sister! How can she let a guy stay in their house? Tears welled up in her eyes, tears of anger and tears of loneliness. She quickly wiped it away when their teacher, Kaede-sensei, stepped in.

"Class, there will be a surprise history test today. Keep all your books and get ready for it." Kaede-sensei said as she passed down the paper.

"Oh my god! I didn't revise my history! Look like I am going to flunk this test…" Kikyou groaned as she received the paper.

"The answer is so obvious."

"Sesshomaru?"

"Hn?"

"Can you help me?"

"No."

"Want me to show the diary?"

"Okay, okay! I give up! I'll help you!"

"That's better."

So Sesshomaru was Kikyou's answer provider although Kikyou do feel bad about it, but she could not help it. If she failed this test, she would be so embarrassed as she is well known for the best student in the school.

"You owe me a litre of blood tonight!" Sesshomaru told her grumpily, cursing after every answer he gave her.

"Okay…" Kikyou mumbled, not caring what he had said. She was too busy writing the answer that she did not know she was getting herself into a blood debt.

That night

Kikyou walked along the streets, cold and hungry. Her sister had locked the door, preventing her from going in. She had not found a place to stay for the night yet.

"Why don't you go home?" Sesshomaru popped out from behind, giving her a scare.

"How did you get out!"

"I can get out whenever I like, but preferably in the night. We hate lights."

"…"

"So why didn't you go home?"

"My sister doesn't want me to go back. Her boyfriend had moved in…" Kikyou started to cry as she slowly kneeled down on the ground. Sesshomaru was clueless. He had never handled girls before, especially crying ones. He put his hand around her shoulders, comforting her and to his surprise, Kikyou dug her head into his neck, tears falling freely, wetting his shirt.

"Kikyou…"

"What?" sob

Sesshomaru stood up, carrying her in bridal style as he seemly glided into the forest. After some minutes, they reached the same old place, thee mansion where they first met.

"What are we doing here?" Kikyou asked, drying her tears.

"Kikyou, you can stay here for the time being…"

"But the house is… almost falling apart!"

"I've been living here for years and nothing happened to me! If you don't like it you can always sleep somewhere else!"

"Who say that I won't stay! Then what about food and clothes!"

"Don't worry. I'll make sure that you have enough of it." Sesshomaru glared at her as he carried her upstairs, leading to a spacious room with a huge bed and a wardrobe inside.

"This will be your room. It used to be my mother's but you may use it. You can also wear her clothes which is inside the wardrobe." He put her down and pointed to it.

"Wait! Your mother is a vampire too!"

"No. A person will only become a vampire when he is bearing a grudge."

"You mean you are waiting to take revenge on someone?"

"Yes. I have been holding a grudge for the past hundred years but I lost track of my victim and I will not rest in peace until I've killed him"

"Oh…"

"Its late now, you might want to get some sleep. But before that…" Sesshomaru gave a smirk as he pushed Kikyou onto the bed and climbed on top of her. His hands were holding down her wrist, preventing her from struggling.

"What are you doing! Don't you think that it's a bit too early to do this…"

"Its late now and if I don't get any blood tonight, I will get weak and that will be when cases of people getting their blood sucked dry will happen!" Sesshomaru growled as he lowered down his head to her neck.

"Doesn't that mean I will die too!" Kikyou gasped as Sesshomaru bit into her neck, starting to feed on her blood.

Kikyou felt her blood draining away. She was getting weak by the moment and soon enough she would be dead. But before she could go any weaker, Sesshomaru stopped.

"Why did you stopped?"

"I can't kill the goose that lay the golden eggs, could I?" he grinned and got off her," Sleep well. You'll need to produce blood for me." He turned and walked away.

"Sesshomaru."

"Hn?" he stopped and spanned around.

"Thank you…"

"No need to thank me. Just repay me by giving me you blood."

"…"

"Go to sleep."

"Can I have another request?"

"What?"

"Can you accompany me? I don't feel good sleeping here alone."Kikyou shifted her eyes uncomfortably, "but if you don't want, it's fine with me."

"As you wish…" Sesshomaru said as he sat next to her on the bed. At that moment, a lightning was seen, lighting up the place for a second. Kikyou gave a startled cry as she hold on to Sesshomaru's arm.

"What's with you?"

"I-I am scared of lightning since young. I don't know why but it always bring back memories that haunt me continuously."

"Look like you are finally afraid of something." The vampire gave a smirk when she held on tighter to him.

"Its not funny!"

"Calm down! That was only a joke! Go to sleep now."

"Will you stay by me? Till next morning?"

"Okay! Just go and sleep!"

Kikyou lied down on the bed and her body sank into the mattress. Her hands were still clinging on Sesshomaru's arms, refusing to let go of it. Sesshomaru looked at her sleeping form, lights from the windows shone on her pale skin, her eyes were closed and eyebrows slightly knitted. He also noticed her raven-black hair which was sprawled on the bed and some over her body. For the first time, Sesshomaru actually felt that she was… beautiful. His face tainted pink when he saw how tight Kikyou had hugged her hands around his. He brushed away some of the bangs that were covering her face and smiled the first sincere smile in a hundred years…
