Disclaimer: I don't own Inu Yasha
Chapter 7- Angelic Voice.
I stood up from where I sat, motioned Sesshomaru to follow me and he did. I walked up the stairs and walked to a room that I hadn't been in for over five years. I opened the door and looked in the find everything the way it was.
"You can stay in here tonight, make yourself at home," I stated as he looked at me.
"This place brings sorrow to you, why is that?" he questioned as I looked up to meet his gaze.
"This is my fathers study, he died a few years back and nobody has been in this room ever since," I stated. I walked out of the room and into my own as I logged onto the internet on my computer. I turned on my CD player to listen to my Linkin Park cd and Sesshomaru walked in. I turned to him for a moment before returning to my research.
"What is this human?" he questioned as I pushed the keyboard back in and turned in my chair to face him.
"Listen Sesshomaru-sama, if I am to show you respect you are to do so with me as well understand? My name is not wench, women, human, or bitch, it is Kagome, my birth name and I expect to be called so, I have called you by yours," I stated. He glared at me and growled.
"Fine, Kagome," he said and I smiled at him.
"Thank you, this thing is called a computer; it allows you to search for things that will prove useful in the future. The thing playing the music is a CD player," I explained and he just looked at me. I turned my back to him and continued on my English essay due tomorrow as he just continued to look at me, "is there anything you would like to know?"
I didn't bother to look at him because I was too caught up in my work and I had at least five more essays due the next day that I really needed to finish but he took it the wrong way and put his claw around my neck.
"I expect to be looked at when talked to," he stated causing me to look at him.
"I didn't mean it in a disrespectful way Sesshomaru-sama, I need to finish these essays before school tomorrow since I haven't been in so long, I don't want to stay up all night typing them and studying for my tests tomorrow, I meant no disrespect whatsoever," I stated as he growled and released my neck. He didn't say anything and I rubbed my neck in pain and continued on what I was doing. I heard the front door shut and I knew my mom was home so I saved my work and walked downstairs to meet her and Sesshomaru followed.
"Kagome, I wasn't expecting you home so soon, Inu Yasha let you come back?" she questioned giving me a hug.
"Well, not exactly, I came on my own to get away from him," I stated as Sesshomaru walked up and she looked at him as if she knew him.
"Have we met?" she questioned stepping closer to the demon lord.
"No," was his simple answer.
"Well then, my name is Aya Higurashi, it's nice to meet you," she said.
"Sesshomaru, lord of the Western lard in the past," he stated and Aya gasped.
"Mom, you alright?" I questioned looking at her.
"Yeah I'm fine, I'll be in the kitchen if you need me," she said walking away and we walked upstairs back to my room where I continued on my essays. I couldn't get my moms reaction out of my head, she gasped as if she had met him before but that was impossible wasn't it? I stopped my work and placed my head in my hands, my head hurt from writing so much and thinking of too many things at once. I turned my music off and turned to Sesshomaru who was now sitting on my bed staring at the computer screen which had my essay on American history. I got up and walked to the door before he even noticed I had walked away from the computer. His head snapped up and he looked at me.
"I need to go talk to my brother for a minute, your free to look around if you wish," I stated walking to my brothers room.
Sesshomaru looked around the room when a picture caught his eye. It was of me when I was little but what really caught his eye was the necklace that hung around her neck but before he could look at it closer I entered the room and looked at him. He walked right past me and into my father's old study shutting the door behind him. I shook my head and continued on my homework.
It was 5 in the morning and I realized that I had pulled an all nighter in order to finish my work so I went to sleep for the last hour before I would have to leave for school. I fell asleep in my chair but when I woke up I was carefully placed in bed with the covers over me. I figured it was my brother and quickly took a shower before changing my clothes for that day. I wore a pair of black pants and a red tank top on. I pulled on my black jacket and walked out of my room to come face to face with Sesshomaru, who had on a pair of khaki's and a black button up shirt, only it wasn't buttoned, then again, it would be hard to button with only one hand. His hair was wet and I figured Souta had showed him how to use the shower; it was pulled back into a low ponytail.
"Would you like some help?" I questioned but he never replied. I sighed and dropped my book bag onto the ground as I buttoned up his shirt. My hand found his arm and he growled at the sudden movement. I placed my finger over his lips and he looked at me with a death glare, "it's my fault."
"What's your fault Kag?" Souta questioned walking out. I just shook my head and placed my arms around Sesshomaru's waist, granted I should have told him what I was doing but it was fun to piss him off. I gathered my miko power into my hand and placed it on the shoulder where his arm was missing. He stopped growling at me and quickly turned his attention to his arm, which was now in place.
"I gave you back your arm, now you won't look so odd, you can cover your birth markings on your own," I stated pulling away from him and he just looked at me.
"Hey sis, you're up early today, what for?" Souta questioned as we walked downstairs leaving Sesshomaru there in his thoughts.
"I only got an hour of sleep, I pulled an all nighter studying and finishing up my make up work," I stated getting something to eat. Souta threw the keys at me and I stared at him blankly.
"Your driving me, I didn't get my license yet," he stated and I just nodded my head as Sesshomaru came downstairs. I looked at him and my jaw almost dropped on how gorgeous he was in my era's clothes. I stood up from my chair and motioned for both of them to follow me to the car and they did.
"What is this Kagome?" Sesshomaru questioned.
" It's a car, it helps people get places easier," I stated getting in the drivers seat as he got in next to me and Souta got in the back. I buckled my seat belt and help him out before pulling out of the drive to the school parking lot. It was a quiet ride; none of us dared speak until we reached the school grounds. We parted ways and I entered the school with Sesshomaru behind me as I walked to my locker to see Yugi there. She looked pissed and I knew why as she walked up to me and smacked me across the face. Sesshomaru looked at the sight amused on what had just happened.
"God, don't do that to me Kag! Your here one day then the next your not! I thought you were dead or something!" she yelled hugging me.
"You know me better than that Yug, I wouldn't do that and ow that kind oh hurt," I stated as she noticed Sesshomaru.
"Um... who's he?" she questioned as I put my things away.
"College friend, he's doing a shadowing project so he'll be following me around all day," I stated shutting my locker.
"Sucks to be you then, the chorus teacher has you signed up to sing today at lunch as a punishment for missing the concert last week," she giggled and my eyes narrowed.
"WHAT!" I yelled and that just caused her to laugh even more, just then my friends Yuki, Jen, and Amy walked up to me, clearly they were mad.
"You ditched the date with Hojo-kun again," Yuki snapped. I grabbed Sesshomaru's hand and ran. The last thing I wanted him to be is pissed at my friends for talking way too much. I slowed down once I reached the classroom and stepped inside. After I explained the situation to my teacher about why someone was with me he put him in the empty seat next to me. I took off my jacket and placed it on my chair as Sesshomaru looked at me.
"Why do you have that on your arm?" he questioned, "and don't say it's a family secret because your brother doesn't have one."
" Obviously you haven't looked at his right arm, he has the same one as I do," I stated leaning back in my chair as the bell rang, " oh yeah, while the teacher is talking, don't talk or I'll get in massive trouble, understand?"
He glared at me for a minute but then turned his eyes to the window. I shook my head as the teacher lectured the class about world history but I couldn't listen, I had other things on my mind at the moment.
The first two bells went fine but after second I found myself on the stage in the lunch room that had been set up just for me courtesy of the teacher from hell. The funny thing is is that I was singing a song that at that current moment described how I felt. Right when I walked up to the microphone I saw the doors bust open but nobody seemed to notice as a human Inu Yasha leaned up against the wall glaring at me. Yes, this is going to be TOO good to be true.
"This song goes out to an old friend of mine, hope you're having fun with your lover, Inu Yasha," I stated with a smirk on my face as the music started. The song was Everybody's Fool by Evanescence
Perfect by nature
Icons of self indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that
Never was and never will be
Have you no shame? Don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled
Look here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending
But now I know she
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
Without the mask where will you hide?
Can't find yourself, lost in your lie
I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore
It never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me and
Somehow you've got everybody fooled
It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me and
Somehow now you're everybody's fool
The whole time while I was singing that I looked into his eyes, they were full of shock, hurt, sadness, and I knew why. I shook my head as I slowly walked down to my seat next to Sesshomaru and Yugi. Yugi smiled at me as Sesshomaru looked back at his poor excuse for a half brother glaring daggers at him. I smiled at the fact that now he knew exactly how I felt about him and he walked away from the school, head bowed in shame.
"I never knew you could sing that good Kag, it's really angelic!" Yuki stated walking up. I just leaned back in my chair and rested my eyes wishing that this school day would soon end.
