Recap:

Sesshomaru watched from across the hall the display of love the two expressed to each other; them just standing and holding each other was, to him, a site he did not believe possible by modern teens with the over sexed culture that existed. He smiled, happy for his brother's accomplishment in toning down his hormones.

Move On

Chapter 24

Such a fool

They had stud in that one spot. Rooted to the ground by the weight of what the two were feeling. The calming feeling of relief poring into her, like a cup being filled the brim with soft water. Having someone know what was happening some how made her feel like he was reaching deep in her and kindly cuddling her heart. Releasing her almost, of some sort of dark secret that was weighing her soul down. And now that he knew, all she felt was heavy. She was tired now, a heavy kind of tired that only comes with long endless endurance.

oOo

InuYasha was happy to see that she was finally confining in him. Their trust was starting to bloom like a shy exotic flower that happens only so often. He squeezed her a little tighter just to feel her mass between his arms. He sighed; there were no words that could describe how deeply she completed him. He didn't know a whole lot about what was going on, but he knew he wanted to know everything. He thought he would go crazy if he couldn't help her in some way. The thought of know this little clip of the code was to frightening. Not knowing why her mother would even show up in that state. It was completely intolerable. His brother had always shown a perfect example of how adults should be, almost anyways. Well dressed, well mannered, patient, calm, and even though he was a little cold, he knew he was just giving him his space (though he didn't appreciate it so much when he was younger).

He was going to find answers to the questions that were brewing in the back of his head.

oOo

A few days had passed since then and he was waiting for her to open up to him. The exotic blooming that had occurred from nights before was now a fleeting memory. He sighed. Now placed in class waiting for the period to end.

He heard the sudden scratchy intercom try blurbing out some sort of coherent word type thing. Then click silent. InuYasha rolled his eyes. He was trying to spend the end of his school day in silence. Wondering about Kagome's meek mannerism and her cute eyes and the way –

"KSH! Shhh…. Kagome? Kagome Higurashi report to the main office please, I repeat, Kagome Higurashi report to the main office please-KSH!"

This perked his ears up in a way that made his stomach stand on end. What did they want with Kagome? The secretary was calling seemingly invisible person for no operant reason. What was up with that?!

InuYasha quickly raised his hand to get permission for the bathroom, saying it was such a bad emergency that he was going to get an erection if he didn't go. The class laughed at this. But he was let go. He dashed out the door so fast he created a wind gust.

As he jogged to the main office he caught the smell of something he wasn't to pleased to be smelling. And as he approached, he saw a sight that sent his blood flow in the opposite direction and caused his knees to grow weak.

It was Kagome's mom…

He had to find Kagome!

oOo

Her chest was tightening itself in knots. Why had the secretary called her down? It didn't make any sense to her. She hadn't done anything bad in a reasonable time span. Her grades were up. She had already seen the councilor about getting ahead for college… why call her up…?

She left her class room with the feeling that doom was in the near future. But from who, the people were slim. It couldn't be from any of the Takashi. InuYasha and Sesshomaru both knew her situation, but InuYasha partially caused it, and Sesshomaru didn't mind it. But he was going to plead that he was unaware of the situation at hand if someone were to discover what was going on. Especially her mother. It couldn't be any of the students. They were all far to unaware of her presence to want to do anything about it. And it couldn't be any of the staff. They all seemed to like her and have no suspension over her presence.

This left one person. The one person who she was always afraid of coming across on the street or in a grocery store. Anywhere. Her mother.

Her heart was beating faster and faster as the thought of seeing her mother came stampeding in her mind. Her hands were shaking at the thought of her standing casually in front of the main office waiting for her to walk in. What would she say if it was indeed her mother? She would be punished. Her breathing became shorter as she kept her feet moving. Her hands were sweaty now and her knees wanted to give under her weight. She didn't want to go to the office, she wanted to grouch down and cry until every ounce of liquid had left her body. So she could become nothing.

She felt a hand land on her shoulder as she ran into a body. She had been looking down the entire time and hadn't noticed someone step in front of her. Or for that matter that someone else was in the hall way. 'How stupid of me…' she thought with the bubbling acid of self-loathing that was burbling from the back of her head.

She didn't look up but just tried to pass the person with a quiet "I'm sorry". But the person wouldn't let go of her shoulder. She jerked her head upwards and her arm reflexes snatched the arm of the perpetrator, with every intention of making sure it let go of her.

She saw InuYasha's fretting brow when she looked up. His eyes were so full of worry, she was afraid he was going to start crying so he could have some form of release. She let her snatching hand slid down to her waist and his arms engulfed her in a scared hug. He nestled his head in the join of her neck.

"Did I say hi today," he asked, trying to speak as calmly as his mouth would muster. But to Kagome, it sounded like there was a lump of metal in the back of his throat that was making him sound shaky. She pulled her arms up and gave him a light squeeze.

"What is it?" he voice sounding wobbly as well. His actions were making her worry more about what awaited at the end of her journey. She had a strong intuition of who was in front of the main office now. As all know, woman's gut feeling is 93 of the time right.

InuYasha didn't answer right away, she pressed forward, "Is my mother at the front office?" she questioned. He ripped himself from her warm body and stared into her paling face. He could she a child like fear building up in her eyes and the gloss that was being picked up as well. She seemed to be getting smaller as the seconds with out answer presided. But… he didn't understand how she knew. How she had pulled from the far reaches of the universe with her eternal eyes, the truth.

He averted his eyes and tried giving her a hopeful smile.

"How 'bout we ditch together?" he said as evenly as he could. Kagome still herd the metal ore in his throat. To his utter dismay, she shook her head.

"Is it her?" she continued to ask. She believed that if she had this little peace of knowledge, she would be more prepared rather if she didn't. But all of his small twitches and quirks were all signaling with conspicuous clarity. She felt her eyes water, but held back the deep cutting craving to let them free fall to the floor and show her weakness to the cold audience of the world that was her school at the present moment.

"Please tell me," she smiled sadly, trying to coax the information out of him. She just needed the simplest confirmation, and the final terror could fervently be absorbed by her skin and she could go numb with fear. And then everything would be as it always is. Looking at life threw a jar of honey, everything slowly gooping by.

He gazed long and hard at her, he didn't want to tell her. He didn't want her to go off to her mother's side once more. He didn't want her servant like loyalty laid out to her so it could be thrashed. He wanted that for himself. To keep inside his consciousness like a reassuring fact of life. But it looked like if he didn't tell her, she would just break apart like a quickly eroding statue. Her mother was still who she revolved around.

It stung to come to that realization. But he wanted to help her, so he did the only thing that she wanted him to do. He nodded his head and loosened his grip on her. His arms sagging downwards to hang loosely by his hips. She smiled back, knowing that he just wanted to be of any help to the one that was always so present in his mind. As was he to hers.

She dashed off with the words, I love you strung together by her mouth before she left. Hanging in the air he breathed as proof that he was a fool, a fool letting her go by herself. He wondered to himself why he hadn't nodded nay instead now so she could just leave with him. His ears flattening until they meshed in with his pale locks. He was such a fool.
