I do not own Inuyasha, Rumiko Takahashi does.
Chapter three: A Special Scent.
The first day of school was always hard; especially meeting new people.
"Stupid little demon brat! Hmph, who does he think he's smirking at? Definitely not my baby!" Hoshi mumbled to himself, his aura darkening. He quickly caught himself, knowing he couldn't risk another power surge, yet a pout remained. He'll have to have nice long conversation with Kagome about boys. A scowl twisted itself on his lips at the word.
'Hmmm, maybe it was time Kagome learnt of cooties' Hoshi thought as a wicked smile replaced the scowl and he erupted in strangely evil yet protective laughter that only other fathers could understand.
Kagome, Suki and even little Souta as well as surrounding people gave Hoshi strange looks.
Sesshomaru's eyes widened for a split second then his features were once again schooled into an expressionless face, still staring at where Kagome and her family had been.
Something inside of him had awoken.
'Who are you?' He asked the voice, unconsciously narrowing his eyes.
'You. I am you, pup.' A boyish yet rough voice rumbled back.
Sesshomaru didn't understand but he would never reveal that, not even to this voice who claimed to be him, Sesshomaru.
He made a mental note to find answers, not only to this new voice but also this strange interest he had in the little human girl; Kagome.
His thoughts back on Kagome, it was only then that he truly took notice of a lingering scent left behind. Strawberries and cream. Innocent yet so tantalizing.
Sesshomaru closed his eyes and unconsciously licked his lips only to fly open again at hearing a rumbled, 'Mmmm'. A strange sensation began building up. He pushed down the feeling and pushed away the voice calming himself once again.
He turned back to his parents and half- brother. Worry and frustration grew. Worry for all these new and strange things he was experiencing and frustration from the unanswered questions building up and for even feeling such an emotion as worry.
He needed answers!
While Suki was sitting on a bench with little Souta in his pram next to her, Hoshi and Kagome waited in line until they were able to speak to one of the women behind the office desk. There were three women and a man speaking to parents and new students. Two demons, a hanyou and a human.
When it was finally their turn in line Hoshi got rid of all thoughts of the boy for the mean time and found out which class his daughter was in and her teacher's name.
After finding out Kagome was in 1C taught by Ms Jin and being given a map the whole family left to find the classroom and hopefully make friends with some of the other parents and their children. Jin happened to be her first name and although she was married it was just a little bit easier for the children to call her Ms.
Hoshi and Suki had already been to the school and had been given a brief tour but they were hoping to show Kagome where the bathroom and her classroom were with the help of the map, just in case.
A big sign on a glass door had the words: 1C and right below had: Ms Jin
Kagome was introduced to Ms Jin who promised to show Kagome where the bathroom was during recess. Ms Jin and Kagome's parents had a boring adult talk while kagome observed the classroom. It was colourful with the alphabet up on one side of the classroom and a times table grid on the front wall surrounding the white board. A shelf with books was right next to tubs full of toys on the right wall and there were tables and chairs behind a large round mat and cubbyholes to keep the studen's bags in on the left wall. There were parents and children wandering about and looking through things.
Kagome looked outside the glass at the mixtures of humans, demons and the half-breeds when something caught her eye.
Sesshomaru had to wait with his father and half-brother while his mother went to find out what class Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were in. Sesshomaru had wanted to go with her. His mother gone in the same direction Kagome had.
Luckily school hadn't started and there was still 15 minutes until he had to be in his own classroom.
After his mother came back they all headed to Inuyasha's classroom together. Sesshomaru already having been attending he school for 2 years, they didn't have too much trouble finding the room.
Sesshomaru hadn't been paying much attention just following his parents and hoping to ditch the half-breed soon.
Suddenly, his eyes widened and his nostrils flared.
Grey-blue and Strawberries & cream!
