first obstacle: get him approved by her father - accomplished with flying colors. now that that obstacle is out of the way, will Getsu pursue the slight butterflies-in-her-stomach feeling she gets around Sesshomaru? or will she just drop it and look elsewhere? you'll have to read to find out. enjoy the chap!

The narrowed slits of the dragon stared up at her.
She erased a stray thumbnail line from the main slithering body of the dragon, going over the lighter lines of the scaled beast's belly gingerly with her pencil.
"Hey aren't you that Goth skank?"
Her gray eyes lifted up from beneath black lashes to stare at the owner of the question and cocky-sounding voice; a girl with wavy dark brown hair kept out of her face by a tight bun and ruby eyes met her stare, magenta eye-shadow enhancing the red hue of her eyes and dark magenta lipstick making her face seem paler than the olive skin-tone she had.
"What's it to you?" She answered calmly, looking down at the dragon she had been sketching, lightly scrubbing out another thumbnail line near the head's antler-like horns protruding from above the dragon's thick brows.
The girl huffed. "I heard that you were new here from some dipshit school in Nagasaki and that you hooked up with Taisho Sesshomaru." She declared, her tone stony and waspish at the same time.
She almost erased the snout of the dragon; who was this girl to dare think such a thing? She quickly regained her composure and huffed, returning to the task she was currently occupied with. "What's he to you? Just because he's the dean's son and is pretty smart doesn't give you fangirl bitches a right to rip apart any new girl that's just trying to make her way in life." She sneered coolly.
She placed the palms of her hands on the desktop, not even making the girl flinch, her red eyes blazing.
"He's my ex, that's what. Look, just because you're new here don't think you can waltz around like a fucking princess, you Bokuseno whore. You're new blood here at Shikon Academy, a nobody-geek-slut, so listen well: don't fuck with our boys, least of all Sesshomaru. You're gonna find yourself in a damn gurney very soon if you even think I'm not serious." She growled, glaring annoyedly into the gray eyes of the newcomer.
Getsu cocked a brow before she huffed and smirked. "How cute, you're jealous. Well listen to me, then: I don't give a fuckin' rat's ass about what you and your horde of tramps think about me. You can bitch about me to everyone in the whole school for all I care; I came here to finish this miserable hell known as school life so if you're done whining, fuck. off." She returned in the same tone, seeing the girl's red eyes darken in annoyance and anger at her retaliation.
"Why you little…" She began in a hiss.
"Scaring another girl into manicuring your nails, Kagura?" A girl wondered, perking her ears and making both girls look at the newcomer.
A girl with raven black hair pulled up in a messy ponytail and dark blue eyes stood not ten feet away from the two girls, her arms crossed over her chest.
The Kagura girl clicked her tongue and glared at her, red eyes steely. "Higurashi, this isn't any of your business so go pick daisies." She snapped waspishly.
"Bullying innocent girls is considered my business, Onigumo." The Higurashi girl replied coolly.
The "victim" of her bullying quirked a brow. 'Onigumo'? So she's related to him, then, she mused, her fingers gripping the pencil lightly crumpling into a fist around the sharp utensil.
Kagura snorted and backed away stiffly, glaring from one girl to the other. "Whatever." She sniffed, stalking away to grab her things and leave the virtually vacant classroom.
Getsu scowled after her, tucking her pencil behind her left ear and exhaling.
"Sorry about that. Are you okay?" The Higurashi girl asked, reminding her that she wasn't the only one in the room; she looked up at her blue eyes and smiled a little, nodding.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Nice save back there, but I could've handled it." She replied, dragging her bag from under the chair and straightening to her feet.
"Thanks, I think. You're the new girl here, then, the one that transferred from Bokuseno High." She shrugged, perking her ears.
She nodded again. "Yeah, my name's Getsu; Daiyokai Getsu. What's yours?" She asked.
"Sorry about that! Mine's Kagome. Higurashi Kagome; I'm a sophomore." She smiled sheepishly.
"Interesting name; nice to meet you. Oh, that's just a doodle," she mused when the girl noticed her sketchbook's opened page.
She lifted the book from the desktop, looking through the pages. "Wow, you're really good! These are cool," she declared in awe.
Getsu blushed humbly and chuckled, taking the sketchbook back when handed it, closing it and holding it to her chest. "Thanks. I want to be a serious illustrator when I'm out of school, but these are just sketches." She shrugged and slipped her arm through the strap of her bag as she walked out to go to lunch.
Kagome trailed after her until she was at her side. "Even so, they're really good sketches. Where do you usually sit at lunch?" She wondered.
She shrugged when they made it to the courtyard, "it's too congestive inside so I usually sit out here in the shade." She replied.

"Oi there you are!" A voice barked, making both girls look up, before a silver-haired streak practically tackled the raven-haired sophomore in a hug, making her squeak on reflex.
She blinked at the sight before sweatdropping as she recognized the silver-haired streak to be the younger of the Taisho boys. "Well aren't you chipper." She mused calmly. "I didn't know you were with InuYasha, Kagome." She added to the girl pushing against her companion's chest with a giggle and sweet kiss to his lips.
"O-oh yeah I forgot to mention that!" Kagome stammered, blushing at the tight squeeze her boyfriend had on her waist.
Getsu smiled and rolled her eyes at the sight. "It's cool, it explains why he's wagging his tail like crazy." She replied absently.
"His tail always wags around her," a sigh sounded, perking her ears, before she looked to see the older Taisho boy coming forward from having dropped his things off under the shade of a young oak; she blushed slightly at seeing he had stripped of the custom vest and blazer, the pale shirt opened to reveal a flash of a black undershirt beneath the uniform shirt, his magenta birthmarks visible once again as the sleeves had been rolled up to the elbow of his arms that were folded across his chest.
Sesshomaru quirked a brow at seeing the blush tainting her cheeks a light pink, smirking smoothly. "Hi." He added calmly.
Getsu shook her head softly as the blush deepened at seeing the smooth smirk adorn his lips before she spluttered a snort and scowled patiently at him. "I'm surprised you haven't burst into flame just by being out in the sun." She teased cattily, mirroring him and crossing her arms over her semi-flat chest, as the happier couple retreated to the shade of the oak he'd abandoned.
He chuckled and dropped his stance to poke her nose lightly with a finger. "Cute. I'm surprised you didn't run to greet me like a happy puppy." He teased coolly, smirking.
She swatted his hand away and blushed again, huffing. "Don't be so cocky; just because you gave me a lift home yesterday doesn't mean you own me, rich boy." She growled.
He chuckled again and kept the confident and calm smile on his lips, further irritating her. "I don't know about that; your father did approve of me, if I recall. At least more than that wolf boy your sister brought home…" He said smugly.
The blush flared to that hue of reddish pink he liked to see flatter her light-olive toned cheeks. "That was just a fluke shot in hell and you know it." She ground out.
He rolled his eyes and sighed. "Sure it was; come on, princess, it'd be best for you to eat something before being dragged off to Art History." He declared calmly, turning to retreat beneath the shade of the oak tree, his silver hair he'd pulled into a high ponytail dancing lightly behind him.
She grumbled and stuck her middle finger in the air before stomping after his lead.
She was being difficult again, but even after just only one day of getting to know her, he liked it when she was difficult; it made her all the more sexy.
If she keeps this up, I doubt Onigumo will be the only one to fail in resisting to keep their hands off her, he thought with an inward smile.
He just thought he was so smug.
God how she hated guys like that!
Her gray eyes glanced at him as he returned from delivering his paperwork to their teacher and sat down next to her; she looked away and smiled a little. Well okay, he was respectful, and intelligent… and handsome. Fuck, he was beyond that, he was hot.
She blushed a little at that and smiled inwardly.
Okay, so he was everything her father had approved of. But he was just one guy. He was popular and had girls chasing his tail and was the dean's oldest son… Damn, why was he so hard to get out of her head!?
Sesshomaru was just her friend. That's all he was. Simple as that.
'Don't fuck with our boys, especially Sesshomaru.' That Kagura bitch had all but seethed.
That line… something inside her wanted to spite Onigumo Kagura and her words. Something inside her wanted to fight back and show her that she, Daiyokai Getsu, could stand above meager threats and hollow words.
She was going to go out with him just to spite everyone, to show that she wasn't a weak wannabe-tough bitch… and to make him shut up about teasing her and render that drop-dead gorgeous face of his speechless.
"Sesshomaru," she began quietly when they were set to start the day's assignment, pulling her book out of the bag's confines and opening it to the correct page.
He perked an ear and glanced at her. Something had sparked in her; he didn't know her well enough, but he could tell that there was a thought, an epiphany even, bubbling up to the surface. "What is it?" He pressed in the same tone.
"What're you doing tomorrow after school?" She wondered.
Sesshomaru cocked a brow; is she asking what I think she's asking…? He wondered. "Nothing that I know of. Why?" He shrugged.
Getsu scribbled down a note from the book onto the crisp white page of her notebook. "Let's hang out." She declared calmly.
His gold eyes softened in understanding and he nodded. "Sounds perfect."
Spunky princess indeed, he thought.
well what do you think: will Getsu go out with Sesshomaru just to get back at Kagura for being such a bitch to her? will she feel anything more for the boy other than just platonic feelings? you'll have to find out in the next installment of 'White Demon Love Song'. later!
