"It really is a serious offense..." Kagome sighed, stacking a pile of papers into two different piles. Yukina, as she'd learned the name of the Ice Apparition, was on the other side of the long desk that she sat at, was drawing up a daily plan as requested by one of the teachers. Kagome had told her what to put down and Yukina had chosen wisely the best executed and most time-efficient way to organize it. She really was helpful, although, she had really only wanted to pull her out of the tainted clutches of the fallen angel that held unmentioned sessions in his office.
"...Miss. Kagome..."
Her voice was soft, nervous...slightly fearful..."Just call me Kagome, Yukina. What is it?"
"Kagome...you seem a little upset...may I ask what it is that ails you?"
Kagome sighed, "Nothing ails me...Yukina...just my own foolishness coming back in full swing."
"Why, if I may be so bold to ask, is the Demon King's son, Prince Shura...here?"
"Because I summoned him...though...I had wanted to hunt him down and destroy all evidence of ever summoning him, I failed to do so...and now..."
"Now you belong to Demon Prince Shura?"
"...he likes to think so..."
Yukina gasped, "Oh Kagome, please don't go against Prince Shura! He is not as powerful as his father, but he is more cunning, devious and cruel than his father on his worst days! He will destroy you! Oh please, please don't go against him!"
"..." Kagome was, needless to say, surprised by the sudden outburst that the peaceful and composed demoness just conveyed. "I will not be ensnared in that Demon Prince's web of manipulation...nor will I give into his threats and domineering nature."
The girl seemed a little throttled by her response and returned to the papers before her.
'I'm sorry Yukina...it isn't in me to be controlled...that won't change...at least...not over night or anytime soon...' She flinched at a sudden throb behind her eyes, 'My head hurts...and that damn Sigil is causing tremors to flow through my body...again...I don't know what to do...I can't keep going on like this...' She held back a whimper and stood, keeping her face impassive as she did, "I'll be back, I'm locking the door behind me, please do not let anyone in here besides me. Trusting the students of this school is unwise...in fact, students who attend this school...should be avoided, unless I introduce you to them directly..."
"Y-yes, I understand."
Kagome felt the tremors again and nodded to Yukina before walking out of the room, turning the lock and closing the door before making her way to Professor Yagi's classroom. 'I...I can't...' She thought placidly to herself, beads of sweat forming on her brow as the closer she came to his classroom, the more sparks shot through her body. 'He's doing this...I know it...WHY AM I GOING TO HIM!' She stopped herself from continuing and by this point; she stood in front of the classroom door to her Health class. He had no students this period, and she had no classes. The only periods he had Health Classes, were first, second and fifth. As it so happened, he had Physical Education classes in the gym during sixth, and seventh. This left third period, fourth period and lunch, free.
'Why did I...come?'
"Come in..."
She stepped back, her eyes widened with horror, 'He knows I'm here...I can't just chicken out and leave...I'd never here the end of it...but what can I say? Demon Prince Shura, my body is filled with tremors caused by your Sigil, the frictions too much, help me?'
A light chuckle from behind the door caused her to frown, and when it opened to reveal the violet/pink heated orbs of the demon she'd summoned, she couldn't help become mesmerized. He smiled, placing a sharp nail at the junction of her neck and shoulder, then pressed hard enough to draw blood and a sharp gasp. Her knee's buckled as tremors raked through her body. He stood staring lazily down at her before a dark grin appeared on his lips. "Time for that punishment." He moved aside and smiled, "Crawl..."
"I...I will not!" She stood firmly to her feet, tryin feverishly to ignore the now burning throb between her legs. As an Angel, she had the dignity to preserve herself, and had never once acted on sexual impulse or curiosity and touched herself, much less allow someone to touch her.
He grinned excitedly, pushing her out into the hall where at any moment someone could see them.
"Wha~! Mmmph!"
His lips covered her and her let his right hand slip beneath her school dress. His left hand held both of hers above her head and enabled her from moving out of his heated grasp. He moved his passionate and hungry lips from hers to the bleeding junction between her shoulder and neck, lapping up the blood that was soon to be threatening to stain the clothes she wore, red. "Why do you hate me so?"
Her eyes narrowed, despite the feelings he was invoking inside her, he still asked..."Because...Demon's and Devil's alike, are no more than lowlife thieves! Demon's and Devil's, both fool around, and they never take anything seriously! They don't fulfill Human's sincere wishes, yet still they steal their souls!"
"...If...if I am serious...would you willingly be mine...Kagome?"
She couldn't help it, she couldn't stop the heat that rushed to her cheeks, the blush that caused that deviously handsome smirk to form on his lips. She looked down and shook her head wildly, "I won't! I won't, you are not to be trusted!"
He lifted her and moved into the classroom behind them, away from prying eyes, not that there were any. "For me...I'm fine with being distrusted. I'm fine with being disliked, you can hate me," His fingers trailed to the blue buttons of the dress, unfastening them one by one, "For you...it's okay..." He said, removing the petticoat of the dress and pulling the shoulder straps over her arms and down to her elbows in one swift movement.
"H-hold on...Don't! I thought you said you didn't like brute force!"
"It's true that I dislike brute force...but more than that...doing nothing is even more boring."
"Stop it!" Tears started forming in her eyes, not from fear, not from pain, not even from embarrassment...but from the unwilling attraction she had for the Demon Prince that held her in such a warm embrace.
"I won't break your wings," He whispered into her ear, kissing her neck gently as he ran his fingers over his Sigil, causing her to shudder and tremble in his hold. "Let me...show you what my touch can do to you...what I can make you feel..." His tongue traced the shell of her ear. He grinned at the gasp that she tried so hard to keep inside.
"I hate you..."
"It's alright to hate me..." He smiled, "Whether or not you like me...as long as I can create unforgettable feelings in you...its fine..."
Kagome couldn't think straight; wherever his hands touched, it burnt like fire, causing her to shiver and quake with the faintest of his touches. He leaned her down on his desk; her legs had instinctively wrapped around his waist as he leaned forward and placed warm and selfish kisses over her collar bone and down that crevice of her slightly exposed breasts, the white bra half over the perk and hard nipples that peaked over the thin fabric.
"Those feelings which you can't control..." He whispered into the trail of kisses before moving back up to her lush and parted lips. Her soft panting tickled at his own lips as he barely let them touch. "Do you know what they are called?"
Her glassy, sensual eyes connected with his lustful and passionate ones. She could feel one of his hands trailing to her panties, just barely brushing the fabric that covered her purity. "..."
"It's called love...Kagome..." His lips met hers in a feverish and heated kiss. His hand's moved from beneath the dress and he pulled her into his arms as he sat down in his seat. Her body molded to his as he traced the lines of his Sigil, her tears streaming down her cheeks as she lifted her hands to his neck, then kissed him once more on the lips before standing and fixing her clothes.
She said nothing as she left him staring curiously after her.

It was night now, and Yukina slept peacefully in her bed, not wanting her to sleep on the couch, Kagome insisted that she could share her bed with her. Yoru, the demon cat that had resided with her since she'd saved it, lay next to the girl in a protective manner, staring carefully at Kagome as he kept an eye on the peacefully sleeping ice apparition.
"You seem distressed..."
"Don't concern yourself with me, Yoru. I'm going out for a while, keep watch over Yukina."
He nodded and laid his head back down on the warmth of the comforter.
-x-x-x-
Kagome walked along the dark street and sighed, 'How am I to explain this to the others...no...it's simple really...I can't tell them.' She smiled to herself pathetically.
~Chuu~Chuu~
Kagome turned and grinned, "Demon! Halt or else...mm..." She stared at the blue bird like creature with a patch of black hair on his head and sighed, "Damn it..." She smiled as it hopped about flapping it wings violently as it tried so hard to take flight to safety. "You're hurt..." She said, stepping out of her offensive position and into a less threatening one. She picked the bird demon up and cradled it gently, soothing it patiently as it pecked painfully at her hand. "P-please, I won't hurt you."
~Chuuuu~
She smiled as it stopped and stared up at her. "That's right, I won't hurt you little one."
In a struggle, it got out of her hold and settled contently on her head.
She sighed, unaware of the two sets of eyes that watched her, both smiling at her kindness; both unaware of the others presence, "It's my job to catch Demon's and Devil's...but I have a pet demon neko at home...and now..." She held her hand up to the demon bird and smiled when it gently clamped it beak down on her finger in a trusting manner. "And now I have a pet demon bird...I just can't hurt them..." She frowned, "I can't help...but feel that I'm not suitable...to be an Angel..."
"What...?"
Kagome jumped and turned to see Shura standing behind her, looking inquisitively at her, "...I-it's so small...and it was hurt...I..." She closed her eyes and looked away, "I just couldn't do it..."
"..." He listened to her and looked up at the blue demon bird, he was sure he'd seen it before... "Maybe in passing?...No, that's not it...hm..."
"I have no right to be an Angel..."
"You couldn't hurt it out of compassion...I think that's more like an Angel..."
Kagome stared baffled at the Demon Prince, "What?" She looked at him, his smile was sincere, something that truly fit his features, but not his position. "Are you consoling me?"
"No, that's not it. I just gave my opinion. Did you forget? I want you to quit being an Angel..."
"I don't want to!"
"Oh, but you said it yourself. Your not suitable...right? You'll feel better if you just give in to the Demon's Allure."
"I'm not listening to you!"
"Fall in love with me; don't be an Angel." He said softly, not completely serious, his eyes closed, his lips holding a gentle, enticing smile that was also one of a devious Demon Prince.
"...Even if I fall in love with you...I'd still want to be an Angel!"
Her words had taken him completely off guard, his eyes wide with wonder, his ears ringing with her words...and his heart...he couldn't put into words what was going on with that! "What a bother..." He let his black feathered wings appear from his back and watched as her own white feathered wings fluttered out elegantly. He couldn't help but think that the red feathered wings of a devil or the black feathered wings of a demon would fit her better than those white feathered wings of the angels. He repeated, "What a bother, since I hate Angels."
She frowned, "Say you won't mind!"
"I will not," He said candidly.
"Ah! Stubborn Demon!"
~BZZZUUU~
Shura pushed Kagome away from him as a golden beam of energy passed between them.
"STAY AWAY FROM HIM KAGOME!"
"...B-Botan...oh God..."
"ARE YOU UNDER HIS SPELL! KAGOME, THIS IS A SERIOUS OFFENSE! ARE YOU TRYING TO BECOME A FALLEN ANGEL!"
"Uh, hey...Botan...calm down..." Another voice interrupted her ostensibly endless rant.
Kagome and Shura turned to see someone walk out from the shadows. Kagome stared in surprise, "K-Kuwabara!"
"Hey," He held his hand up, nodding to the Demon Prince in a simple hello.
"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING KUWABARA! THIS CAN'T BE FORGIVEN! I WILL REPORT HER! AND KAGOME...YOU WILL LOSE YOUR WINGS!"
"...I..." Tears began swelling in her eyes at the truth in her words, "I'm sor─"
"Angels are such a bother."
Kagome turned to Shura who interrupted her, his hand glowing with a violet ball of energy, black shocks sparked from the violet orb and her eyes widened in horror. "N-NO..!" She moved before him, intercepting the ball of energy as she stood in front of the girl. Kuwabara watched the Demon carefully as Botan stared curiously and carefully at both Kagome and the Demon Prince.
"What's this?" He smiled in betrayal, "Who is the stubborn one? Consistently guarding your mission...when we both know...this isn't who you really are. You were never meant to be an Angel...your heart...isn't in it."
Her eyes widened, 'Sh-Shura...!' In a whirl of black feathers...he was gone...
