He Could Always Hold On
Okay loyal readers, it seems some people like to harass me into writing more chapters. I'm not calling out any name, even though it starts with a't' and ends with a 125. I don't enjoy being harassed into updating, it make me work slower than I already do. And I swear four m&m's that if any one starts bothering me to update three times in one week, my stories will be discontinued for a month.
Some people just don't seem to realize that I am the author, and I will update when I decide to update. In a review, I don't mind being asked to update soon, its encouraging and I like that. I will when I want and no more stupid question please. The last chapter, I got several questions asking why Kagome would run home after having PAINT and stickers saying the words WHORE and SLUT thrown into her face. Wouldn't you run home too? On with the story.
Chapter Seven: Episode Siete!
Recap: Students stopped on their way to the lockers to stare at her. Kagome breathed deeply, her cheeks stained red with embarrassment as kids began laughing. She walked as quickly as she could out of the building and to her car. She quickly got in and drove home as fast as she could.
H.C.A.H.O.
Kagome parked the car in front of the house and fumbled with her keys to get in. Neighbors who were out there watched as the teen ran into her house and slammed the door behind her. Kagome slid down the door as it closed, tears running down her face as she cradled her head in hers. She took shaky breaths, trying to calm her self down before Sesshomaru could see she was crying.
She wiped her face and stayed against the door as her frayed nerves calmed. Sesshomaru came through the kitchen doorway, looking in shock at his girlfriend. "Kagome?" He questioned. She looked up at him and her tears started anew. He briskly walked over to her and gathered her into his arms.
"What happened?" He whispered to her, pulling her into his lap. "I w-went into the school like u-usual and went to my locker" Kagome paused to let out a hiccup. "Inuyasha was standing next to me, trying to t-talk to me. I blew him off and opened my locker to get my books. When I opened my locker, all this stuff came out on me" Kagome cried.
She let her head fall onto Sesshomaru's shoulder and he let her tears soak into his shirt. "I will have a talk with my father about his disciplinary actions with the hanyou" Sesshomaru told her. "Take a shower while a make a phone call. I shall drop you off at Rin's school for the trip" He murmured in her ear.
"Okay" Kagome nodded and stood up. She went up the steps to their bedroom and into the private bath. Opening the shower, she turned the hot water all the way and put in a little cold water with it. (A/N: That's how I like my showers) Taking off her clothes, she shivered a bit at the sensation of the cool air hitting her bare skin.
Back downstairs, Sesshomaru was talking furiously on the phone. "The hanyou was to be punished in unforgettable ways for his crime" Sesshomaru said in a dark voice.
"But son, really, what's the harm? He made one mistake. That's what boys do. Not everyone can be as composed as you" his father replied casually on the other side of the phone. "Had it been the ancient laws we were following, the hanyou would have been put to death" Sesshomaru snarled.
"But this isn't those times anymore; we follow new rules in this day and age. It is time to let go. Besides, I think my punishment is fair enough. Inuyasha won't be going to any of the major parties; he has to clean his own room, and is grounded for two weeks." Touga proudly explained.
"Despicable. This Sesshomaru shall not stand for such a meager punishment. If this Sesshomaru does recall, when he slapped your human slut, you went into a rampage and attempted to kill this Sesshomaru" Sesshomaru spat.
"Son, it seems you have reverted back to your teachings. You are no longer lord of the west" Touga chuckled lightly.
"It escaped this Sesshomaru's mind that no one cares of titles this day. This Sesshomaru shall always be the Lord of the West. However, the subject we speak on eludes you father. The hanyou shall be punished even if this Sesshomaru must do it himself" He sneered mockingly before hanging up the phone.
He growled loudly and threw the phone across the room, having it hit the wall and break. Sesshomaru looked at the spot the phone hit and growled again, there was a dent in the wall. Running a hand through his hair, he took a seat on the couch and tried to relax. "Is something wrong?" Kagome gentle voice came from the door way. She was in her silk robe he bought her that was loosely tied around her. She walked over to him and sat down slowly on his lap. His arms encircled around her waist.
"This Sesshomaru broke his phone" He sighed. Sesshomaru's face was set more sullen than usual. It was a pout. Kagome smiled smugly at him. "You're pouting and speaking in third person. Oh, Sesshy is pouting." She teased, pulling at his cheeks. "This Sesshomaru does not pout" He objected. "Okay, now stop speaking in third person. It's weird" Kagome giggled. Sesshomaru gave a playful growl and let his claws tickle her sides. She squirmed on his leg, trying to get away from his fast fingers.
"Uncle!" Kagome screamed through her laughs. Sesshomaru gave in and held the wheezing Kagome from falling. "Apologize" Sesshomaru ordered. "I'm sorry for calling you weird and saying you were pouting" Kagome sighed sarcastically. Sesshomaru nodded in approval.
She resituated herself on his lap and lay her arms on his shoulders before bringing him forward to cradled his head into her chest. "How the hell are we supposed to have this baby?" She sighed. "It seems like everyone is against us like we're doing something wrong" She continued.
"Don't worry about that, get some rest, I have some work to do" He kissed her forehead before lifting her from his lap. She smiled at him and walked off to go back up to the bedroom. She got up the steps and into the room before flopping onto the bed. She closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
H.C.A.H.O.
Sesshomaru crept up into the room about forty five minutes later and looked at the sleeping onna on the bed. Her arms and legs were spread as she was lying in the center of the bed with her head turned to the side and a small snore coming from her. He walked over to her and brushed some of her hair from her face.
"Kagome" He called in his usual deep voice. She shifted in her sleep, turning over to ball up as she let loose a snort. Sesshomaru looked at her in bewilderment but shook her a bit. She whined and scooted over some, trying to escape him. He continued shaking her and she continued moving away until she was at the edge of the bed.
He smirked deviously and shook her one last time and she scooted her way off the bed. A yelp escaped her lips as she hit the tatami matted floor. Kagome sat up and rubbed her abused head. "Now that you're up, you must get ready for Rin's trip" He drawled before laying down on the bed to relax.
Kagome huffed as she stood up and went to her closet to get out a pair of loose jeans before going to the dresser to get a t-shirt. She glared at Sesshomaru one last time before going into the bathroom to get ready.
Since she already took a shower, she put on her deodorant before throwing on the t-shirt and jeans. She pulled her hair up in a high ponytail and walked out. She glared at Sesshomaru one last time before going back to her dresser. "Kagome, I wasn't the one that made you fall. Had you woken when I shook you the first time, it would not have happened" He reprimanded her though his eyes were still closed.
She huffed at him before putting on her watch and grabbing her phone. She scowled at him before stomping out the room. "You forgot your socks" He called after her. Kagome turned in the hallway and stomped back into the room to grab a pair of socks and forcefully put them on. Sesshomaru cracked an eye open and laughed in his head when Kagome stumbled to the floor while trying to put the other sock on.
"Stop laughing at me!" Kagome whined when she saw the laughter dancing in his eyes. "Laughter is the expulsion of air from the lungs; it can be loud or quiet but still audible. I clearly made no sound" Sesshomaru countered, knowing he won.
"Well, thank you Mr. Webster Dictionary. The next time I have trouble with a word, I'll come to you" She sneered sarcastically. Sesshomaru merely sniffed arrogantly and stood from the bed. He straightened his white and blue striped polo shirt and grabbed a thin black hair band from Kagome's dresser and pulled his hair back in a low ponytail.
He walked out the room and downstairs to the foyer to get his uptowns (A/N: If you don't know what uptowns are, they're air force one's or Nike, what ever you want to call them) with the blue checks. He stood by the door with his keys in hand waiting for Kagome. She came sliding into the polished wood room, stopping in a jazzy position.
Sesshomaru raised a brow as Kagome began to slide around the foyer, finally stopping in front of the shoe rack to grab a pair of sketchers. She held onto the wall as she put them on, tying the laces behind the tongue of the shoe.
"I'm ready!" She chirped and grabbed a slightly heavy jacket since it was November. Sesshomaru grabbed a hoody of the hook by the door before opening it.
H.C.A.H.O.
Sesshomaru pulled up in front of the elementary school, stopping in front of the average sized building. "Have a good time" He told Kagome and reached into his pocket for some money. He gave her fifty dollars in tens. She smiled at him and brought his face to hers for a soft kiss. She gave him one last kiss before unbuckling her seatbelt and getting out the car.
"Remember, one o 'clock" She reminded him. "Of course" He nodded his head once. Kagome turned around and jogged into the school. Sesshomaru watched as she went into the double doors before driving off.
Kagome walked to the administrations office and to the board that showed the class numbers. She found Ms. Kuroki's class, 113 and followed the on the walls in the right direction. I came to a door with the hands of the students on the door in bright paint. I smiled when I saw it before opening the door.
The children were all sitting on a bright blue rug in the center of the room, chattering away. They were bundled up and ready to go on their trip to the zoo. Kagome looked around for the teacher, finding her at the desk sorting the permission slips. "Ms. Kuroki, I'm Kagome Higurashi" she stuck her hand out for the purple haired teacher to shake.
"Oh, nice to meet you, your Rin's mother" Ms. Kuroki smiled as they shook hands. "Mommy!" Rin squealed as she ran up to the woman and clung to her leg. "Hey sweetie" Kagome bent down and smoothed down the girls hair. "Go back to the rug and wait" She ordered when she let go of her leg.
Rin ran back to the rug and sat down next to Shippou. "Well, we're just about done here. You'll need this name tag" Ms. Kuroki gave Kagome a white name tag with her name on it and the school name. She placed it on her right breast and patted it down. "Children, get into two straight lines, shortest to tallest, one line for boys and another for girls" The teacher instructed.
The kids on the rug scurried to get to the door and line up correctly. Kagome was impressed, they were fast, and correct in the order for only two months in school. They stood impatiently waiting to get out of the school building. Ms. Kuroki walked to the front of the line and led the class out. Kagome stood at the back, finding the no where to be seen Aya standing there as well. "Aya! How are you, I haven't seen you since yesterday" Kagome Hugged her new friend.
"I'm fine, anyway, I heard the news from Shippou, how's the baby making coming?" Aya asked smugly. "We don't know yet, maybe by the end of the week because my period should be coming then" Kagome smiled and placed a hand over her stomach.
Aya smiled at her. "Well, might I just ask who are going to be the godparents?" She asked casually. "Well, might I just answer, that they will be you and Takeo" Kagome answered in the same casual voice as they began to walk. "Oh, Kagome, thank you!" Aya gushed hugging the younger woman.
"Nope, I should be thanking you; of course, being the godmother means you're in the delivery room. And I'll be holding your hand screaming and probably breaking the bone while some evil little baby decides to push its way through my kooch." Kagome smiled as she began skipping.
Aya by now was a bit…nervous. "On second thought, you really wouldn't want me to be the godmother, I mean, I can barely handle Shippou. And I'm sure you would want Sesshomaru in there instead of me" She attempted to convince the dark haired woman. "No, no, no, you'll be in there, besides, what better coach is there than someone who has been through this before" Kagome replied cheekily.
The red haired woman stared at her with an emotionless face. "I hate you" She whispered before pouting. Kagome wrapped her arm around Aya's shoulder and pulled her close to her body. "If you ever have another child, I'll be there" She offered. "That's beside the point, why would you call the baby evil?" Aya asked. "What was going through your mind when you had Shippou? Was it 'oh, you precious little darling, it's alright if you tear up my kooch, the pain is worth it to see your tiny little alien looking body' or, 'you evil little thing you, causing me all this pain so your big head can come out of me and then look like a little alien right after'" Kagome asked.
"That's a very good point, I suppose your right" Aya agreed. "Okay children, get on the bus and sit with your partner" Ms. Kuroki commanded as she got on the bus and stood near the bus driver. The smallest person sat in the second seat on the left and waited for her partner to come sit with her. Once all the kids were on, Kagome sat down in the front seat. "Aya-chan, will you be my partner?" Kagome asked in a baby voice.
"Sure" She replied back, twirling a piece of her hair on her finger. Kagome smiled and scooted over.
H.C.A.H.O.
When the bus pulled up to the front gates of the zoo, the children were immediately pushing the doors open and running onto the sidewalk, effectively trampling over Ms. Kuroki as they did. Kagome and Aya rushed to the front of them to keep them from going any further. Ms. Kuroki picked herself up from the ground and began to lead the children further into the dank, smelly, animal confinement.
"Why, why did we have to come to the zoo in November? It's smelly, dank, swampy, dark, and wet in the winter. Plus, the smells are like freaking magnified by the rain" Kagome complained. "Please, at least you don't have to wear nose plugs, if I didn't have these, I think I would faint as soon as I got off the bus" Aya snorted.
"Good point" Kagome sighed as she covered her nose when they came towards the monkey house. Past the monkey house there was the reptile house, which is where we were going. Inside the building, it was warm, well lit, and didn't smell like monkey shit. All the demons in the room gave a sigh of relief as they sat down on the red tape box.
A man in the zoo uniform came out holding a giant snake. Kagome's eye widened as she saw it-that thing was about as tall as Sesshomaru! "Hello kids" The man greeted. "My names Ikiri and I'll be showing you some reptiles today" He sat down at one edge of the circle and held the snakes head and tail since it was around his neck.
"This snake here is a python; can anyone tell me what a python does?" He asked. It was going to be a long seminar.
After the reptile activity, they ate lunch in there. During lunch, Shippou, Rin, Souten and a little boy named Haachi sat together in a small circle. "Ne Rin, how come your Mommy's here today?" Haachi asked. "My Mommy came because she said she wasn't spending enough time with Rin since her and Daddy are trying to give Rin a baby brother or sister, so she's making it up to Rin" The smiled.
"A baby? Good luck with that. My Mommy just had a baby. It's the worst its like when your Mommy and Daddy have the baby, they forget all about you. It's always the baby this, the baby that" Haachi frowned as he told Rin.
"No, Rin's Mommy would never forget her!" Rin protested. 'I think she added in her head.
H.C.A.H.O.
