Day 4
...
It was really incredible how jealous people could be... Not to mention, Kagome glanced over her shoulder feeling something staring at her, how vindictive the female gender was. The group of girl's started whispering to one another.
Kagome turned away from them. In a few days the rumors should dissipate, Kagome just had to act extra normal and calm until then.
"Ah! Kagome!"
She turned around to see Misato walking towards her.
"G-good morning," Kagome greeted.
"Good morning, " he replied with a sweet smile. He turned serious and pushed his glasses up. "I was hoping to see you this morning. We need to talk."
Her heart skipped a beat. Did he hear about the rumors? Was he...maybe...jealous?
"What for?"
"Strategy for the cultural festival." There was a glint in his eye.
Did this guy ever stop thinking about his responsibilities? Although, it was a reason she liked him.
"We'll have a meeting during lunch with the other committee members. I'm thinking we should divide the school into quadrants and appoint a committee member of each one."
Kagome nodded "That's a good idea. But we should always have 1 committee member off duty, that way all quadraatns are covered and everyone can trade off shifts to still enjoy the festival themselves."
Misato grabbed her by the shoulder's. "Great idea! The committee members wil be ahppy with that. Thanks Kagome."
She blushed. "Anything to help you Misato."
Th bell rang over head.
"Oh, we don't want to be late see you at lunch Kagome!" He patted her on the shoulder and left.
She waved back.
That was a moment right?! They just had a heartfelt moment. Kagome got to class with a skip in her step.
...
After gym Kagome stopped at her locker to change out her shoes and grab her lunch.
Even though Sesshoumaru and Kagome had gym during the same period. She hardly saw him since the classes were held separately. They only came together maybe once a week.
Maybe Misato would praise her again? She should get their early.
Hm?
A note with her name labeled on it sat in her locker.
Dear Committee members,
Please meet on top of the roof at lunch instead of the Disciplinary room as it will be occupied.
-Thank you!
Being that it had been typed up and printed out, Kagome couldn't determine which member wrote it and it wasn't signed.
Something felt suspicious here. Oh well, she had no choice. She would head there early and If this was some joke, there would be plenty if time to get to the actual meeting.
I'm sure the other members got the same letter.
Kagome was determined to get there as soon as possible and sprint about the flights of steps. By the time she reached the top of the steps she was out of breath.
"Let's get this over with," she huffed.
She opened the door and stepped out to find...nothing.
A practical joke after all.
What a waist of time. She took a minute to catch her breath. She was going to have to sprint back down.
"Aw man..."
First running laps now this.
There was a heavy thud. Kagome look over her shoulder to see the door closed. She walked over to it and tugged on the handle but it didn't budge.
"Hello?!" Kagome yelled.
"Looks like you'll be late for your meeting!" A muffled female voice came from the other side. Followed by other girls giggling.
"What?! Hey! Unlock the door!" Kagome tugged on the door handle harder but it was no use.
She banged on it with all her might.
"Could you be any louder?" Came a deep voice.
Kagome looked behind her to see Sesshoumaru walking from behind the corner. He brushed his fingers through her hair.
"We're locked out!" she shouted at him.
He walked over to the door and tugged on the handle once.
"Looks like it," he replied casually.
Kagome gave him a dumbfounded look. She fished out her cell phone from her purse. All she had to do was text her friends to come rescue her and...
"No signal?" Kagome stared at her phone. "Do you have signal?"
Sesshoumaru grabbed his phone from his pants pocket. "Nothing."
"You've got to be kidding me!" she exclaimed. Kagome moved around the fenced in space trying to get something. Inching closer to the fence she had one bar and then it disappeared. Holding the cell phone over the edge it came back.
Just a little further. She stretched her torso over the railing.
Suddenly, she was jerked back.
"You moron. Your trying get yourself killed. I'm not saving you a second time," Sesshoumaru warned holding her around the waist.
She wiggled from his grasp to hide the pink glow in her face. "I didn't ask you to save me in the first place!"
The sudden movement made her dizzy. She stumbled back over to the railing, this time for support.
"Just remember what I said," Sesshoumaru replied.
"What...ever..." she breathed. She slid down the railing to her knees. Her head was still spinning.
Kagome had over exerted herself by this point. With her back to Sesshoumaru she put her head between her legs like they had always taught them.
You're ok Kagome, your ok. Just sit here and relax, she encouraged herself. You'll relax then get back to trying to get to the meeting.
"The meeting. I have to get to the meeting..."
"Kagome."
...
Her eyes twitched when something brushed against her forehead. Blinking a few times she saw Sesshoumaru looking down at her.
"You passed out," he explained.
He had moved her into the shade provide on the side of the door. Something soft yet stiff was behind her head. If her head was in his lap she was going to...
"Oh."
He raised an eyebrow at her.
"Um, nothing." Her head was being propped up by her back back and his school jacket. "I thought you weren't going to save me second time."
"If you prefer, I will move you pack into the sun."
"No, I mean...thank you." She forced out.
Sitting up slowly she asked, "What time is it?"
"Two fifty-five."
Ah, that means school would be ending in about five minutes and they were still stuck here.
"Your friends will come to rescue us once school has ended. I was able to get a signal when you were out."
Kagome gazed at him in amazement then frowned. She was going to have to say it again...
"T-thank you for helping," she fumbled. They sat there in silence for another minute.
"So, why were you here anyways?" Kagome asked.
"Sleeping," he replied.
Kagome grimaced. "Then that means you were skipping class right?"
"Hn."
Kagome rolled her eyes. "I guess I shouldn't complain since you helped me and all. When I find out who locked that door...those girls are going to be in some serious trouble. I missed my committee meeting and everything."
"Working hard and pretending to be someone else for one person's sake until you pass out. You really are a moron," Sesshoumaru scolded.
"What would you do differently in my stead then?" she spat.
"I would not have involved my self in such a situation to begin with."
"Then you have no right to lecture me if you can't understand my feelings."
There was a moment of silence, again.
"Hello?" sang a female voice from the doorway.
Kagome grabbed her things and got up. "Moko!"
"I swear you guys do this on purpose," her friend sighed.
Kagome hugged Moko. "Thanks for coming."
"Sure thing." Moko's eyes traveled to Sesshoumaru. "So did you to have fun?"
"Nothing happened Moko," Kagome said sternly.
"Mhm-hm. Fine don't tell me," the trio headed back into the school and down the steps. "But when I turn out to be right I want to be the maid of honor at the wedding. I already have my speech ready. 'I told you so', then I drop the microphone like a boss."
