Sorry for the super-uber late chapter but I hope you like it.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Her eyes would flutter but that was about it. She could recall seeing his face but then it would diminish in a flash as anger boiled up inside. Hands trembled to wring his neck and choke the living day lights out of him but was he right? Could he possible be right? It couldn't really be true and once his face flashed before her eyes once again, her hands wrapped around his neck like a snake, seizing it's victim in a vice grip. She just wouldn't let go as she attempted to choke him to death.

"W-Why you little…" He struggled to say and as a second pass Sesshomaru struck her head with a phone book.

She had awoken with a start, a pulsating sensation pounding at her head. " That hurt you dumbass. What's the big idea?"

"'What's the big idea!!?' You nearly choked me to death you incompetent cretin!!" Way for being composed but nearly looking death at the face was beyond the reaction she deserved.

"Choked you to death?" Then she looked at her fingers that loosely wrapped around his neck. "Oh…"

"'Oh..' That's all you have to say!!" He let out a much-needed sigh as he placed a bowl upon her lap. She stared at it, a bit dumbfounded. "What? You never seen soup before? Eat it."

"Don't try and get on my good side. As if making me soup would make me like you." She said with a laugh.

"It's not as if I'm trying to make you like me because I have you either way." He retorted which earned him a daggered glare. "You like me or not, it really doesn't matter. Don't you get it by now."

As much as she hated his presence, Sesshomaru took the stool from under the desk and placed it beside her bed, taking a seat.

"You're a liar. This can't be true."

"Don't start Kagome. Or should I call you Mego-chan. It's what your brother calls you right? When he was younger I mean."

"Don't call me that and why would you-"

He took out a paper and looked it over. Cutting her off, he smiled lightly and laid his hand upon her own. "Because they want me to know everything about you my dear. Don't you think your fiancé needs to know a little about you for this relationship to go on."

That mocking smile aggravated her and the soup in her hands swayed a bit, threatening to spill on her lap but she stared down at it. The thought was too unbearable and it took so much to have some self-control but that was enough. She lifted the bowl and before you knew it, Sesshomaru was drenched in tomato soup, the bowl balancing upon his head.

She got up and kicked the covers off of her. " Just shut up. I'm not some fool you got it."

"Are you crazy you little freak!!!" Crediting himself on depleting the curse words that was about to spill out of his mouth, Sesshomaru merely stood up and placed the bowl on the counter. An obvious glare was set in those topaz eyes.

"Ah, temper temper my dear fiancé." She mocked. "Are you mad at me for a little spilt soup. Now that's mature." She smiled wickedly and made her way toward the door.

Though a hand gripped her arm tightly, pulling her toward the bed and when she thought she was going to fall she caught her footing. It was then that she closely stared at his features, his eyes near and his warm breath hitting her skin.

The only thing that bothered her was the tight hold on her arm. "Let me go." She demanded.

"Oh, so look who has there defenses up now." His hair was clump together but his eyes were still seen as amusement filled them. "I know what you're trying to do. You're pushing my buttons so I can get out of this house but your attempts are futile."

Inching her toward the bed, Kagome knew in advance what he was trying to do and she struggled to take that step away from the bed. "I'm not trying anything but you got one thing right. I want you out of here!!!"

Sesshomaru licked his lips, a hint of tomato soup hitting his pallet. "You are different but…" Those lips, they were getting closer and the back of her leg hit the bed, causing her to sit on it but she remained staring into his eyes. Strong hands elevated her chin and he leaned in close, their lips barely touching. "I want to surprise you."

To Kagome's shock he stood up straight, a smile placed upon his lips as he turned and walked away. But the feeling was still there. Her heat pounding furiously, her whole body trembling and her lips expecting so much to be connected with his but it didn't happen. To her relief she only heard the bathroom door close and the shower running.

"He didn't….." She shakily stood up, bracing herself with the nightstand. "He was going to kiss me but…" It wasn't a thing to think about. She went into the kitchen, shoving random papers that were sprawled upon the table and a textbook into her bag. By that time, the running water wasn't heard anymore and she rushed out the door.

"Stupid Sesshomaru. He's so….so….." What was it? She couldn't even curse about him anymore and her head tilted toward the ground. "He's such and idiot." She whispered. There were more words to describe him. He was incompetent, a loser, a dumbass, a horny bastard, a pervert and blah blah blah. The list went on but she didn't think about that anymore. Her eyes were on the floor, her mind completely cleared of any thought that related to Sesshomaru.

"Hey!!! Watch out!!"

Kagome lifted her head at the sudden yell and a crowd of people across the street had frightening expressions on their faces. She wanted to see the source of such an expression but she just stared at them and the only thing they looked at was right at her.

"Get out of the way!!!" Then there were screams and a few women closed their eyes, which caused Kagome to turn her head.

"She's going to get hit!!"

A car was coming toward her and she had time to run, she could have run out of the way but her legs couldn't respond. She was a deer caught in the headlights but she closed her eyes waiting for an impact.

It hit her, something hit her and she fell to the floor and screams reverberated through the streets as tires screeched to a sudden halt. There was pain and she could hear herself mumbling something but was too afraid to recall what it was.

"Sesshomaru help me." She mumbled over and over again. Even though she was already out of harms way, her eyes remained closed but something heavy laid on her. Was it the car? No, it was lighter then that but she couldn't and wouldn't look. She just kept on mumbling.

"I'm here Kagome." He reassured her but she just laid there.

"Is she alright?" The truck driver said with concern hoping to god she wasn't dead.

"She's okay. Don't worry." He lifted her in his arms, observing her injuries. It wasn't too serious and he walked off before any more people could crowd them. He walked slowly, people looking on as they soon disappeared once he turned a corner.

"S-Sesshomaru…."

"You can open your eyes now. Everything's over. You're safe." It was different. His voice was different and instead of looking up to gold eyes, she stared up to blue hues. Silver hair wasn't there but blonde locks which lightly blew in the wind.

He smiled. "You scared everyone but it seems like I was the only one who reacted." He laughed and set her down on her feet, holding her arms making sure she could stand. "Are you okay?"

"I-I'm fine." She said in a small voice.

"Good." He turned away from her but he stopped once shaky hands grasped his arm.

"T-Thank you." It was quite obvious that she didn't want him to leave her at the moment. Though, he nodded in response and took her hand that tightly wrapped around her arm. The blonde lifted her hand and lightly kissed it with a faint grin.

"Do you want me to stay with you m'lady?"

Kagome didn't know what to say, she just stared up at him but despite the lack of a response, he took her hand and led her down the street.

"Sesshomaru…." He said with interest, looking over his shoulder as he led the way. "You know him?"

"Um…."

"I heard you say his name so you must know him am I correct?"

The conversation was blunt and she hesitated to answer but gave him enough of a response as she nodded. To that, he laughed so hard that he wrapped his free arm around his stomach. All Kagome did was raise a brow.

"Are you kidding me?" He said between chuckles.

"Why are you asking?"

The blonde shrugged. "Ah it's nothing."

"No!!!" His laughter was brought to a sudden halt at the direct tone and he blankly stared at her, stopping in his tracks.

"Did I upset you m'lady?"

There was an extremely large gap between them and even though he held her hand, the distance was still to far. She pulled him forcefully and looked up at him with an upsetting expression upon her face.

"If you know him you better tell me right now!!!"

"Excuse me?"

"Don't give me none of that." She was getting irritated. Not only was he putting on 'I don't' know what you're talking about' look on his face but he was stalling as well, averting her direct gaze.

"Look. I'm not obligated to say anything."

Kagome screamed, making sure she caught everyone's attention. "What do you mean 'not obligated'!! Tell me or…"

"Shhh! Okay okay just keep it down all right. Come on. Let's go somewhere more secluded."

For now Kagome followed and waited but now she was finally going to get answers. She knew this was a scam and Sesshomaru's words were just some kind of bullshit to get her wired up. Maybe her pesky brother had something to do with this. A joke that was instigated for some laughs.

They got to a park and he leaned up against a tree, his arms crossed in front of his chest as Kagome stood in front of him, waiting. "So…" She began with much anxiety. "Who is he?"

"What kind of question is that?" He said. "His name is Sesshomaru."

Kagome dragged her hand down her face in irritation. "Sesshomaru was assigned to be my tutor but now he's saying he's my fiancé. It's a joke right? You must be his friend or something, so you can tell me what the hell is going on?"

His cerulean eyes gazed toward the sky with a witty smirk on his face. "Were not friends. More like rivals but I can't tell you anything m'dear."

"Why not?!"

"Because…" A voice came from behind a tree and Kagome looked toward it as a figure came out. "There isn't anything to tell."

Sesshomaru wasn't pleased; it was evident as he glared at his said rival. The fire between the two was hot, from Kagome's view it looked like an inferno ready to explode because both men glared at one another with ample hate that Kagome haven't ever witness in her life.

"What are you doing here Hakeo?"

"It's quite obvious don't you think." Hakeo's words were like poison. He had no interest in either looking at him or speaking to him, but he bore with it as he strode toward Kagome who was oblivious to his advances.

"How long?" Sesshomaru said which baffled Kagome.

"2 months." He replied. "And you?"

"7 months."

Hakeo suddenly laughed. "Wow. Now that is a record but who could really be surprised." Kagome felt a chill go down her spine as Hakeo's fingers trailed down her cheek and toward her lips. She instinctively pulled away and walked toward Sesshomaru so that she could have equal distance away from both of the rivals.

"What is going on!!? I hate this! You better tell me-" Her words suddenly was halted as Sesshomaru walked toward her. She took a step back as he took one forward up until she hit Hakeo who wrapped his arms around her, holding her in place.

"Don't let her go just yet." Sesshomaru ordered him and surprisingly enough he listened.

"Wait!! What is this! I thought you two were enemies? Don't listen to him! Let me go." Logic was the only way to get herself out of this because she was obviously to weak to defend herself. She continued to talk her way out of it but Hakeo wasn't listening to her but only responded as he held her tighter.

"What are you going to do to her?" Hakeo inquired with interest.

"Shut up." As he got to her, he got on his knees and she struggled to look down but Hakeo held her chin as her eyes were averted from Sesshomaru's actions.

"What are you doing? Get away from me!!" She pleaded.

Sesshomaru ignored her as he reached into his pocket, his other hand holding down her left ankle. "Hakeo, wrap one leg around her leg so she doesn't kick me."

He complied and once her leg was secured Sesshomaru grasped her thigh. Kagome was scared; she wanted to get out of here and just like how the car was about to hit her, trouble was going to crash toward her and she closed her eyes. His hand that laid upon her thigh glided down toward her knee and she winced. The feeling of his fingers upon her skin caused her to grow weak.

What was he doing? She couldn't see but she felt his hands lightly grazing her leg and once he pressed down on a certain area on her thigh, Kagome winced once again.

"There…" Sesshomaru said and he got up, pulling Kagome out of Hakeo's grasp. She immediately looked down only to see a band-aid on her knee.

"Shit if I knew you were just going to put that crap on her knee then I wouldn't have listened to you. Here I thought we were going to have a 3 some." He smiled at the thought but Sesshomaru had enough of his disgusting antics and pulled Kagome toward the busy streets.

Hakeo however, looked on until his eyes were brought to his phone, which rang in his pocket.

He was silent for a while as he listened to a calm voice that projected into his ear. " Is she okay?"

"What do you mean?" Hakeo asked.

"I saw the news. A truck almost hit her and a man by your description carried her off. It was you, am I right?"

He laughed a little, amazed at how newscast nowadays got their stories so fast. "Yeah, that was me."

"And Sesshomaru?"

"He was here. Bastard was putting up a fit but the signs, it's showing."

"Is that so." There was silence for a while. "Anyways, just stay with the objective and get the job done. I don't want any problems or any mistakes got it."

"Yes sir." Hakeo hung up and he ran his fingers through his blonde hair. "Jeez, he knows I hate him and yet he wants me to help him. I'm a magboy for god-sakes. Helping isn't part of my job."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"I hate you." Kagome stated, swiping her hand out of his grasp.

"I know."

"So why stay here with me?"

Sesshomaru shrugged, taking back her hand and keeping it in his grasp no matter how much she hated it. "Because…."

"Because what? It's obvious you don't like me?"

"I didn't say that."

Kagome put on a smug look on her face and laughed emotionlessly. "Yeah right. You may not say it but your thinking it and where the hell are we going?"

"Police station."

"Why?"

Sesshomaru sighed, lethargy kicking in. "Because your bag was left at the scene. Where that truck almost hit you."

"Oh…" Was all she said as she followed, her eyes staring at the hand that held her own. "How did you know?"

"Because I got worried and followed you."

Kagome laughed at this, catching unwanted attention as they walked through the busy streets.

"Ow…" Crashing into Sesshomaru's back, Kagome rubbed her nose. "What's the big idea, why did you stop?" He turned toward her and those eyes had that glimmer that Kagome was always worried about. The way he looked at her only implied the obvious and she hated to think that he was trying to get romantic in a place like this. She tried not to think the worst but it happened…

Sesshomaru embraced her in the middle of the road, eyes plastered on the couple. "What are you doing you idiot? The lights going to turn green."

"I don't care." He said, holding on to her even tighter.

"They're going to yell at you and honk their horns."

"Then I'll yell back."

"Don't be stupid. Why are you doing this you big dummy?"

"I was worried. You don't believe me when I say that? I don't want you to get hurt Kagome." Soft yet fragile, his voice was smothered with wanting and Kagome only leaned her head upon his chest in defeat. It was easier this way because if she went along with it then they would get off the road faster.

"If I say that I believe you then will you let go?"

"Yes."

Kagome sighed. It was like she was the toy and Sesshomaru was the child that drench her with too much love. It was like the saying, if you squeeze the toy too much it'll break and that's how she felt, as Sesshomaru's grip around her was at the point of suffocation.

"I believe you already. Just let go."

"My pleasure."

It was weird, all the way to the police station Sesshomaru held her hand and Kagome tried not to notice. This was getting to serious and she didn't want that. All she wanted to do was study and that was it but still she had one more question that she wanted to know.

"Sesshomaru?"

He glanced toward her. "What is it?"

"What's a Magboy?"

Again he stopped so suddenly that she hit him but as she was about to yell, the fury in his eyes halted her words. One moment he was a happy and smiling but now he was livid.

"Who said that?"

Maybe her fright was to the point where she just no longer couldn't answer but Sesshomaru took her arm and dragged her to a back alley. There he asked more fiercely:

"Who said that?!!"

"S-Sango did. Why are you mad?"

His eyes searched for an answer to her question but suddenly he got frustrated and released her arm, only to slam a fist into the brick wall.

"Sesshomaru…What's-"

"Don't you dare say that again."

"But Sesshomaru…."

"I said don't say that again!!! You hear me!" After a while had passed in silence, Sesshomaru didn't wait for an answer but pulled her down the alley and toward the police station. There was a dense atmosphere between them now, but he insisted on holding her hand.

Why was he so mad? It was a simple question that could have been answered or pushed away but he took it far to seriously. Now all she wanted to know and all she thought about was:

What exactly is a Magboy?

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Okay I know this was long overdue and I'm sorry. I'll try to update sooner I promise. Please forgive me.
