7. The Dates

I walked to my seat and sat down I just stared at the jewel it was so beautiful, just then as I was looking at the jewel kouga moved to the seat beside me.

"hey woman you alright that was a hell of a show for your second day of school" he said plainly.

"yeah I'm looking forward to the rest of the week if I live through it hahaha and by the way my name is not woman it's kagome, ka-go-me" I said while giggling then getting serious.

he laughed also, then the bell rang we all stood and walked out of the classroom and kouga asked.

"um do you want to go out sometime Kagome?".

I looked at kouga.

"lets see if I make it through the day first ok, then I'll answer you go to the library in the afternoon I have an hour study period there k, bye" I said.

while running to the end of the oval but I stopped half way and lied down on the ground with my arms spread and I closed my eyes trying to recall the days events as the wind flowed through my hair and calmed me, my thoughts were all jumbled I wasn't thinking about anything in particular when a tall shadow came over me and blocked the sun I opened my eyes it was sesshomaru.

"hey sesshomaru can you lay with me?".

he just stood there looking at me, when I looked at him with puppy dog eyes.

"hm" he answered.

he lied down next to me and we started talking but it was mostly quiet.

"sesshomaru do you want to come to the library and help me study after school cause I haven't gotten much work done in class" I asked.

we turned our heads to face each other his long silver hair covering the ground around his head.

"on what subject" he said toying with me.

"history what else I haven't been to any other classes yet" I said jokingly.

"ok only if you promise to go home after an hour and rest and don't come to school tomorrow because this sesshomaru has somewhere to take you" he negotiated.

"ok but when and where will we meet" I said confused.

"I will pick you up at your shrine at 10 o'clock" he explanatory.

"ok" I said happily.

Lunch finished after that talk and sesshomaru walked me to English Literature I made it to my classroom door as my classmates where entering

the room.

"thanks for walking me what do you have now?" I asked enthusiastically.

"I have a free, I am going to spend it in the library, after class I will be there so this sesshomaru will be waiting" sesshomaru said in a stern voice.

I nodded and said "Bye".

he left when I got into the classroom, I didn't know anyone so the whole period was boring, finally the bell rang I rushed out the door to the library which by now I knew where it was off by heart when I got there kouga was waiting for me before he could see me I hid behind a wall.

"I totally forgot about him, should I or shouldn't I go out with him ..um.. I'm going to have to, oh well it wont be a date it will be a friendly thing. ok" I thought to myself out loud.

I turned the corner and said "hey kouga I'm free at 6 p.m tomorrow but can sango come she has nothing else to do, oh and I have the perfect place" I blurted out before he could say anything.

he scratched his head "um I guess she could come, and where's the best place" he said reluctantly.

"there's a new cinemas down at the mall I've seen it in the paper, k see you there bye".

I ran away before he could answer.

I entered the library there were a few people there but not many I looked for sesshomaru but couldn't find him so I sat down in my usual spot, took out my cell phone, and called sango I got her number in the library the day before, the phone started to ring but went to voice mail.

"hey this is sango can't get to the phone right now but leave a message after the beep".

BEEP!

"hey sango its kagome I just wanted to know if you wanted to go to the cinemas tomorrow call me back with an answer please cya" I said in a cheery voice.

I hung up, put my phone away and got out my history work book and text book and started on the homework questions I could do which wasn't many, after half an hour I gave up I couldn't do anymore so I decided to look for a good book to read I looked all around the library but couldn't find anything to interest me than I saw another room I didn't see before so I went up to it and it said teachers text books I went inside I didn't know what I was looking for but I had a hint, something on the shikon-no-tama in any history books just then I thought I saw something in the corner of my eye walk past so I quickly left, it turned out to be a teacher.

"good thing I didn't get caught" I said in a relieved voice.

"get caught at doing what" a familiar voice said from behind me.

I turned to see sesshomaru.

"hey mister your late and forget what I just said" I said jokingly and serious at the same time.

"this sesshomaru had an errand to run for Miss Kaede" sesshomaru said in a stoic form.

"ok but I have a lot of questions I need help on, ok".

we walked to my usual spot and got set up we studied a little after doing the homework and I got so tired I dozed off sesshomaru was so wrapped up in his studying he didn't notice, I started to dream of kikyos life and that shadowy man kept popping up the last time he popped up he cut my throat I woke up with a jolt sesshomaru woke me up, I was dripping with sweat I was so scared I collapsed into sesshomarus chest and started crying.

"I w-was so-so scared h-he got me h-he got me" I said sobbingly

sesshomaru was confused he didn't know what to do but after a while he started rubbing my back in soft circles.

"who was trying to get you kagome" he said in a caring voice.

I had calmed down.

"it was a man I don't know who but it was a memory of kikyos gone bad I was so scared" I said.

while lifting myself off his chest and looking in his eyes I had tears running down my cheeks.

"I wont let him get you kagome" sesshomaru said.

while softly wiping a tear from my cheek with his hand.

"thank you" I said.

as I hugged him he didn't react back but he must have been surprised I let go.

"how long have I been asleep for?" I said questionably he looked at me.

"about 25 minutes or so" sesshomaru answered still a bit disorientated.

"I better go its dark out my mom will be worried, um sesshomaru can you walk me home I live 6 blocks away" I said sweetly.

"only if you cheer up" he said agreeing.

we packed up and left the library I showed him the way.
