"KA-GO-ME!" I heard Yuka to the right of me. I've been staring off to space in my homeroom class and hadn't realized the class had already ended.
"I'm here!" I yelled at my friends smiling and running out of the school room doors.
"He has been eyeing you ever since you and Hojo got together." Eri said whispering into my ear once we got out of school.
"Who?" I wasn't aware I had a secret admirer. It got me excited.
"That Higher Classmen hunk. The one who's always picking up his little brother, Inuyasha I believe. The kid who always seems to be in trouble or fighting with someone. He hasn't been interested in you until everyone found out you were dating Hojo. I guess he heard it from his little brother and now he's been looking at you non-stop for the past week! Please tell me you've noticed it!" Ayumi blurted out.
"What was his name? The older brother, I mean." Eri asked.
"Um. I think it may have been Sessh- something. Sessh-amm-ouri? Or-"
"Sesshomaru." I said without realizing it.
"Yes! So you have been noticing!" Yuki smiled.
Why do those names sound so familiar?
"I don't get the whole 'Longer than your ass' hair thing they both have going on there, but damn, they do know how to work it. I'm sure no one messes with Sesshomaru's brother. Have you seen how large Sesshomaru is?!" Yuka said checking out the brothers.
"Their hair is not longer than their butts, Yuka. And yes, I've seen how large Sesshomaru is. You're not the only one that's been checking him out." Eri blushed, also looking in the direction of the brothers.
"You guys come on. I'm leaving." I said looking back at them. They noticed I was ten feet in front of them and caught up. "You guys can have him. And I don't care if he's been checking me out, I have a boyfriend now, he was too slow."
"I heard he got second place in the exam in all of Japan. Who would have thought someone so hot also has brains!" Yuka skipped along in front of me humming.
"Looks like someone has a little crush on a higher class-mate!" I yelled from behind, though I couldn't help to get a bit jealous. Why? I have a boyfriend already. I shouldn't be jealous. So why do I feel like pushing Yuka down and telling her to stay away from him, he's mine? That's awful.
Me and the girls decided to go out to eat at the little outside café. It was nice out, not extremely hot and there were clouds blocking the sun from direct contact. The tree's bristled when the wind picked up, sending bright green leaves and cherry blossoms to the ground.
I couldn't help but to wonder about the two brothers and Sesshomaru's determined amber gaze. Those eyes. I've seen them before, but where?
"Earth to Kagome!" Yuka's voice was near my ear.
"I heard you!" I yelled, not meaning too.
"Apparently not, since someone's trying to say hi!" She said not looking at me but behind me.
"Who?" I said turning around to come face to face with the one I was just thinking about. More like face to chest, really. "You're not stalking me, are you?"
His lips curved into a half smile. "And if I were?"
"Well, if you were, I'd probably call the cops." I teased not knowing why.
"In that case, I'm not. I just thought I'd come and say hi." He said pointing at a table where his younger brother sat eating some nachos.
His voice was deep and strong, opposed from his looks of beauty. I wasn't going to lie, he is attractive. "Well, hi."
"Hi." He smiled again, his eyes locking onto mine.
"So. Is that all?" I asked after a few seconds of silence.
"On the contrary, actually. Would you mind taking a walk with me?"
"I'm with my-"
"Go Kagome!" Yuka pushed me against his, face planting into his chest. He didn't seem t o mind it at all.
"I have a boyfriend you know!" I yelled turning around, face red from ear to ear. "If you guys have already forgotten!"
"I just want to talk. I didn't say anything along the lines of becoming your boyfriend." Sesshomaru casually said behind me.
"Just go with him. If he bites, please be sure to tell me." Eri added the second part in so only I could hear then pushed me away.
"I don't usually get attracted to younger women." Sesshomaru said once we were away from everyone else.
The sky was darkening now, sun hiding behind the clouds filled with rain. There was a slight breeze passing through, making everything seem too calm. It seemed like I've done this before with him. Really big Day ja vu. I know I've done this before. Walking alone with him in this type of weather. But when? This has been the only time we've ever spoken yet alone hang out.
"You date older women then? That's a big creepy." My mind was in other places to not care as much.
"That's beside the point." He said stopping in his tracks. Stopping also, I turned around to look at him. He was staring at me like he always had been. I've known that stare, that look in his eyes, for a very long time and have only recently known what it truly was. But I've just met him. I felt safe here, knowing if anything were to happen, that he would protect me. Protect me from what? Demons? Ha. But that thought didn't seem as idiotic as it sounded.
I body longed to touch him knowing that it was okay and that I've done it before. Before I knew it, I was stepping forward to cup his chin in my hand. His skin was soft and hot, as if he had just got done running ten miles. He didn't pretest against my touch, letting me, wanting me, to continue. I leaned forward to kiss his lips, but was forced to kiss his cheek as he moved in time to whisper something into my ear. "Kagome. Please help me find you." His voice seemed distant even though I could feel his hot breath against the nap of my neck.
"But I'm right here."
"Help me. Kagome. Please." His voiced seemed to get further and further away. Then there was nothing. The sky was gone, engulfed with nothing but blackness. The ground underneath me disappeared into nothingness, and Sesshomaru, who was standing next to me only a minute ago, was now gone. I was covered in darkness and did not know the way out.
"Sesshomaru!" I yelled but got no reply. "Please, someone, help me."
I know. It's taking longer and longer for me to upload chapters, and I'm so sorry. Still have no computer of my own..
But, from now on, I'm going to upload them EVERY Thursday. It'll make it easier since I'll have a deadline and I wont keep pushing it off. Ha.
So here it is. I hope you enjoyed the ridiculously short chapter for the ridiculously long wait.
BE SURE TO COMMENT? So I know you like it and it'll encourage me to write more.
