Chapter 6
...
*Day 3*
...
"So did you talk to Sesshoumaru yesterday?"
Kagome took a seat at the table. She as hoping to avoid giving her friend's ego a boost.
"Yes," she responded tiredly.
Moko perked up and leaned forward. "And?"
"I apologized, he apologized, and now we're allies in getting out of this marriage," Kagome summarized waving her utensil around as she spoke.
With the statement Moko deflated. "I guess that's a start to a good relationship," she muttered.
"Look," Kagome said firmly, "I already have a guy in mind. Sesshoumaru is not my type."
"Please remind us what your type is again," Moko asked sarcastically and glanced at Nao with a smirk.
Ignoring her sarcasm Kagome started to list the qualities she wanted in a man. "He has to be smart, we need to be able to carry a conversation beyond fight stories. Sophisticated, I want to go to a high class restaurant and not have the guy threaten anybody in the place for looking at him 'the wrong way'. Honest, I don't want to be lied to or tricked so no hidden intentions. Lastly, he has to be stronger than me."
"For someone whose never had a boyfriend, it sounds like you've had a lot of bad experiences with guys," Moko commented suspiciously.
If her friends even knew the half of it... Kagome hadn't met Moko or Nao until her first year in high school so Kagome's yankee past and anything concerning the family business was a complete and total secret.
Back then she was asked out a few times and her father had set her up on some dates as well. However, they never ended well. On the rare occasion someone asked her out it was because of three things.
One, Kagome for a short time was considered a challenge for every guy to take on. 'Trying to turn the tiger into a house cat' as they had said. That always ended bloody for them.
Two, they wanted to get on her father's good side. Young gangsters just starting out needed an in, a way to make connections.
Three, they worked for another gang and tried to gain Kagome's trust thinking she would spill some intel. Of course Kagome never did which would often result in a kidnapping. Those situations definitely ended bloody. There had only been one time, one person, who had successfully fooled Kagome so bad and shattered her heart. After him, she had learned a very harsh lesson.
"There were some pretty bad dates," Kagome nodded.
Ryo sat down and Moko greeted him with a kiss as normal.
"Where's Sesshoumaru?" Kagome asked. "Thought you were showing him our basketball team."
"He's talking with some girl over there," Ryo pointed over his shoulder. "She wanted to chat with him privately."
The group's gaze traveled in the directed location. Kagome spotted Sesshoumaru and a petite brunette with a pink clip in her hair.
"He's going to be a ladies man for sure. Good thing you're strong Kagome," Moko pointed out.
Kagome raised an eyebrow.
"I think she's referring to all the females who might want to," Nao gave air quotes, "'fight you for Sesshoumaru'."
Kagome groaned. "Hopefully no one will misunderstand the situation."
"I'm sure no one will misunderstand a very handsome and attractive man living in your house, walking with you to and from school, and having all the same classes together." Moko shook her head. "Naw, you'll be fine."
Kagome's head fell to the table.
"Knowing Moko is being sarcastic I feel the need to ensure you know that there will be many misunderstandings to come," Nao clarified.
"Thanks Nao...," Kagome grumbled into the table.
"You guys could, and I'm just shooting out ideas here, pretend to date," Moko offered with some hint of mischief in her eye.
"I'm almost positive that would cause even more trouble. If that's possible..."
Moko shrugged. "We'll see."
Glancing over at Sesshoumaru, Kagome noticed the girl's face flushed fiercely before shooting Kagome a glare and way stomping off.
I hate foreshadowing... she thought to herself.
...
"Kagome?"
She turned around to see a trio of girls.
"Yes?" Kagome was wary.
"Well we have something to ask you...," the girl on the right started.
"We wondering if...," the girl on the left continued.
"If you were dating Sesshoumaru," the girl in the middle finished.
This was to be expected and now Kagome could clear everything up.
"In no way, shape, or form, are Sesshoumaru and I a couple," Kagome explained but saw the doubt in the trio. "He's just staying with my family as a favor. I wouldn't date him if he was the last man on earth," she emphasized.
The girls nodded together.
"I'm glad we asked then," the one in the middle responded and the group bounded off to spread the news that Sesshoumaru was single.
"Alls well that ends well," Kagome told herself and continued on her way to her last class of the day.
She took her seat which, like in every other class, was next to Sesshoumaru. She glanced out the window to see the rain pouring down. It had just been sunny a few moments ago. The teacher started to speak about the upcoming Spring Festival and what their class would be doing. At just the mention of the festival Kagome started day dreaming. She would confess then and it would be so beautiful.
Kagome: *nervously* Masato...I...I have something I need to tell you.
Masato: *With worry in his voice* What is it Kagome?
Kagome: It's just...*pauses to look away with a blush and bites lip* This is so embarrassing.
Masato: *Takes Kagome's hands in his* Kagome, I understand. Say no more darling! I... I love you.
Kagome: *gasps and looks surprised* Y-you do? I love you too! This is the happiest day of my life!
Masato: *Gets on one knee and opens velvet box with an engagement ring inside* Kagome Higurashi, will you marry me?
Kagome: *With tears in her eyes* Yes!
*They hugged one another and embraced in a passionate kiss before riding off on a white horse into a beautiful sunset*
"I know it's still early but we were given an event tent. They highly suggest we make sure it is stable and has all it's parts. So I want two volunteers," the teacher called out.
Students started coughing, averting gazes, or pretending the hadn't been listening.
"Well if no one will volunteer I'll have to pick..." The teacher scanned the room. "Kagome and Sesshoumaru. You will be putting together the tent."
Kagome was pulled out of her fantasy. "What now?" she asked, hoping she had heard wrong.
"And since it's raining you'll have to go use the empty room down the hall. The room is big enough don't worry." He patted the large box on his desk that was labeled Event Tent. "Also, a reminder to sign up for the senior camping trip if you haven't already. Deadline is this Friday."
Kagome followed Sesshoumaru's lead as he grabbed the box and held it under his arm.
"Everyone else, open your books to page 122 to read the article and answer the fifteen questions at the end."
The class moaned as if they had physically been dealt a blow.
"Oh yes. I bet you all wish you had volunteered now, huh?" He smirked at his students.
Exiting the class glares were shot there way but the female majority was really focused on Kagome. She sighed to herself.
The room they entered next was empty except for a few bookshelves.
"Well, let's get started then," Kagome huffed.
