Miroku was shocked. "Sesshomaru wants Kagome? When he could have any other girl on the whole campus!" Miroku was enraged. His best-friend had finally found a woman worth fighting for. And he HAD to fight for her! "Because he wants me to be miserable." Inu-yasha sighed. His brother would do ANYTHING to out-do him and to make him miserable. "The girls are going to be here in 10 minutes… What do you want to do?" Miroku tried changing subjects. It was no use. "I want to ring Sesshomaru's neck! But what can WE do? We can…wait."
Miroku gave up. He gave a low scream and fell on Inu-yasha's bed. "Your hopeless." Miroku grabbed Inu-yasha's pillow and threw it at him. And let's just say Inu-yasha won't let a pillow be thrown at him if the "attacker" doesn't pay for it.
When Kagome and Sango walked in they were cheerful and giggling. That changed when they saw Kagome's and Inu-yasha's room. The two boys were standing on opposite beds holding pillows and glaring at each other. They were yelling random things to each other and the phone was off the hook. Kagome was shocked. Her room was a mess! And her best friend's boyfriend and her boyfriend were to blame. "MIROKU!" "INU-YASHA!" The girls screamed their boyfriends' names.
The boys winced at hearing their names. They slowly turned their heads to see the girls in the doorway fuming. 'uh oh…' Was all Inu-yasha could think. Those words kept repeating in his head. Miroku was panicking so he ran over and tried to kiss Sango. Sango was not amused. "You think a kiss will clean up this mess?" Sango said hitting him repeatedly over the head. Kagome had no clue what to say or do. Miroku was pleading. Inu-yasha walked of Kagome's bed put down the pillow walked over to Kagome and whispered.
"I'm sorry." Kagome blushed. "It's ok." She sighed. "But you two have to clean up the mess!" Kagome added harshly. "That's fair." Inu-yasha nodded. Miroku's jaw drooped. "OH MY GOD!" Miroku's face had plain shock on it. "What?" Sango asked. She had some worry on her face. Then Miroku fell to the floor laughing and pointing at Inu-yasha then Kagome, then back to Inu-yasha. Sango was plainly confused, but not as much as Kagome. Inu-yasha just looked angry.
This is what confused Kagome even more than Sango. When Miroku could talk he sat up. "What was that all about?" Sango demanded. "It's just…Inu-yasha has never taken an order from any one other than Sesshomaru and his mother before!" Sango looked from Inu-yasha to Miroku. Inu-yasha was red in the face, either from anger or from embarrassment. No one could tell.
Inu-yasha looked like he would jump on Miroku and tare him to bits. But he didn't he just turned mumbled something then started to pick up the mess. "Miroku help Inu-yasha clean!" Sango demanded, raising her fist for effect. Miroku instantly jumped up and ran to start picking up. The boys finished cleaning quickly and then the group ran to their classes. Sango, Miroku and Inu-yasha had Biology and Kagome had literature. Inu-yasha brushed Kagome's cheek with a kiss and the three of them turned around the corner towards the Biology room. Kagome was walking to literature. She arrived at the class and was deciding where to sit when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
She turned around to see Sesshomaru standing behind her. He smiled down at her. "You want to sit beside me?" Sesshomaru asked innocently. "Uh…Sure." Sesshomaru led her to a seat at the back and pulled out a chair for her. Kagome took the chair while Sesshomaru sat beside her. The teacher had written something on the board:
My name is Ms. Alibranti. ( I used a teacher's name that I know so don't be pissed off that it's not Japanese or it's not original oh this is on the black-board)
Good afternoon students. I will not be in class until 25 minutes into the lesson. Pick a spot to sit and get out some paper and a pencil. After you have everything you need out talk to the person beside you quietly.
Kagome looked at Sesshomarufor a second. A smile flickered on his face but then his face went back to emotionless. She turned her head. This was definitely weird. Her "boyfriend's" older brother was…hitting on her?
Sesshomaru wasn't sure what to say. All he was sure of is that this girl would be in his bed by the end of the dance. And that until then he had to make her fall for him. "So you and my lil' bro are dating?" Sesshomaru was still facing the front. Kagome was shocked by this. "Uh…Ya…" 'At least I THINK we are." Her thoughts poked the inside of her mind. Sesshomaru wanted to kiss her. All he felt for her was lust, pure lust. Yet he had to win if not by getting her in his bed, by his actions and his attitude. But why had SHE fallen for his BROTHER but not HIM? This puzzled Sesshomaru most.
"Even if we aren't going could I be honored with one dance at least?" Sesshomaru was sure once she was in his arms and the music was playing she would fall for him. "Ummm…I guess it couldn't hurt to dance with you…Sure why not." Kagome gave him a smile. Maybe he just wanted to be friends?
Sesshomaru couldn't help but smile. Her smile over powered his usual attitude, coldness. Her smile melted the cold expression on his face, her expression was so…warm. 'Damn it woman!' He might give in to HER…
"Sessho-" But Kagome was cut off by the teacher clearing her throat at the front of the class. She had been about to clarify that she just wanted to be friends. Sesshomaru of course thought she was about to tell him she would dump Inu-yasha for him. That of course is all he wanted to hear.
After class Inu-yasha came by and picked her up. It was the end of the day and they were heading to their dorm. They passed Sesshomaru so Kagome waved him a friendly wave. Inu-yasha didn't take this to well. 'Why is she waving at HIM? Did something happen? Did they have a class together?' This was bothering him until he felt Kagome walk nearer to him.
Her side almost touching his. Inu-yasha smiled despite his self. Inu-yasha just realized he hadn't had a REAL relationship that hadn't ended because of Sesshomaru (within a week) or because he had been stupid and had brought her to his bed. But Kagome was different. The other girls he had only felt lust for. Kagome he felt…something different. He was determined to keep Kagome. He would earn her heart and her trust. Even if he had to play dirty against Sesshomaru.
Then it hit him what Kagome might have been silently telling him by moving closer to him. He snaked one of his hands down and gently held hers in his. Kagome smiled. He was right when he thought she wanted to be "closer" to him. And holding her hand must've been what she had in mind. After all, they hadn't gone out…yet. It was 3:49 when they got to their dorm. Inu-yasha dropped his bag on his desk and fell down to his bed.
Kagome grabbed some stuff out of her dresser and then went into her washroom. "I'm taking a shower before I go to my first day of work ok?" Kagome yelled from the washroom. "Ok." He just put his hand to his head. He closed his eyes and relaxed. He had to go to work as well. He never noticed when Kagome tip-toed over.
Kagome bent down silently then hurriedly placed a light kiss on his cheek then ran back into the washroom. Inu-yasha had been brought out of his thoughts by a sweet vanilla scent then the soft touch of lips to his cheek. He uncovered his eyes to see Kagome's back going back into the washroom. He got up but the door had already closed. He knocked lightly on the door. Then he heard a muffled Kagome's voice. "Sorry…busy!" Then the shower turned on.
He would have to catch her by surprise to then…but how? Then he got the perfect idea how to get Kagome back. Now just to take action…
Kagome finished her shower and put on a black skirt that ended just before her knees. Then she pulled a sleeveless, baby blue turtle-neck over her head. Kagome put some dangling ear rings with light blue pendants at the end on, and blow dried her hair. When her hair was dry she tied her hair in a tight pony-tail. Then she walked out the door and someone grabbed her from behind…
Inu-yasha had wrapped his arms around Kagome's waist. Kagome let out a small scream. Inu-yasha turned her around and pulled Kagome into a teasingly light yet pleasurable kiss. Kagome let out a small moan. Inu-yasha licked her lips then let her go. "I'm off to work! Bye!" Kagome couldn't believe this! He had just kissed her in such a way then he walks away! Kagome grabbed her purse and jacket then ran after him. She closed the door behind her and caught up with him. She grabbed his hand and leaned her head against his shoulder while waiting for the elevator.
Inu-yasha had to admit he'd gotten her better than she'd gotten him. They started work at 5:00 and it was 4:26. They had plenty of time…WAIT! He had no clue as to where Kagome worked! The elevator got there and Kagome popped in and pushed the ground floor button. Inu-yasha turned to Kagome and asked her. "So where do you work at?" Inu-yasha smiled. He was still holding her hand, and he never wanted to have to let go. "Huh?" Kagome had been to deep in her thoughts. "I said where do ya work?" Inu-yasha repeated nicely. "Oh…I work at the Mc.Donalds (or Wac.Donalds 4 my friends or other VERY observant ppl).
Inu-yasha stopped. "The Mc. Donalds just off campus?" Inu-yasha quizzed. Kagome yugged on his hand. "Hurry I don't want to be late. And yes THE Mc. Donalds just off campus." Kagome was still tugging on his hand when he started to walk again. Inu-yasha grinned for a moment then his expression went grave. "Crap…" "What's wrong?" Kagome stopped this time and looked at Inu-yasha. HE looked upset/angry about something? Where she worked?
She gave him a hug then asked him to tell her what was wrong. Inu-yasha continued walked tugging on Kagome's hand. Kagome walked with him, then Inu-yasha answered her question.
"Um…I work there to-" Inu-yasha was cut off. "That's great! Why are you angry about that?" Kagome was obviously confused. It was practically written on her face. 'I'm confused!' (Sorry had to throw in some kinda twisted humour of mine! HA-HA?) "AND… Our boss isn't yours or my favorite person." Inu-yasha finished. "Oh…Who?" Kagome's expression changed from confused to curious. "Uh… Well there are two bosses. Sesshomaru and-" "SESSHOMARU!" Kagome hissed loudly. "Yes, My older brother and also Naraku."
"NARAKU!" It just might be that Kagome was more pissed about Naraku than Sesshomaru. Inu-yasha and Kagome had almost reached there destination when Kagome's cell rang. Kagome l;et go of Inu-yasha's hand and took out her cell phone, leaving Inu-yasha's hand to feel the wind.
"Hello?" "Hi Sango! What's up?" There was a pause, not for long…"Oh yeah I already know THAT!...Hmm?...Oh! Well ya! ...I'm on my way to work right now! Yes with him! … SANGO! … BYE!" And Kagome hung up and started to walk again. Inu-yasha felt a little sad she hadn't taken his hand. He had never felt so…passionately about a girl before. He had only felt lust for a girl before. For Kagome he felt next to no lust, but who couldn't help but feel lust for a girl with such beauty? He had still been standing there thinking, so he was brought out of his thoughts when Kagome turned around and called out his name and waved.
The wind was blowing her hair to the side and she had to put one hand to her skirt to keep it from flying up with the wind. Inu-yasha jogged to catch up with her. The leaves were already changing colours and the leaves were falling. Kagome got a leaf in her hair when he caught up. Inu-yasha took out the leave and let it fly into the wind. Kagome leaned on Inu-yasha's shoulder for a minute then sighed and grabbed his hand and continued walking. "Don't want to be late for work." Kagome half sighed half mumbled.
Inu-yasha gave her hand a small squeeze then gave her a light kiss on the cheek. Then they continued to walk in silence. "IT won't be so bad." Kagome said out of the blue. "What?" Inu-yasha hadn't been paying attention. "It won't be so bad…Working there I mean." "Oh…no I'm sure we'll get through it." Inu-yasha and Kagome arrived at their new work…well new for Kagome, and they walked in hand-in-hand.
