Dream Keeper
Disclaimer: Don't Own Inuyasha
Sesshoumaru had been attending college for a year now. He had spent most of his college career focusing on his studies, not really partying as much as he could have. But how could he really go out and party when he had little to no gracious social skills, many, to what others would think, attractive girls made moves on him, but he scared them all off with his cold demeanor.
Until now…
It was a Friday night, Inuyasha and the rest of their friends came up to visit him for the weekend. At first he didn't want to go out, but with Sango and Rin's constant nagging, he finally gave in.
They just pulled up to the house, which was booming with people. Dancing, sex, drinking, possibly drugs…all the best things about college, many would argue.
Sesshoumaru squinted and undecidedly followed them in. As he entered he noticed several girls wink at him, some more look at his figure from head to toe and then he observed a familiar face: Sara Kishen.
"Sesshoumaru? Inuyasha?" Sara disbelievingly asked, knowing she had a little buzz, "I can't believe it's you guys!"
"Hey Sara." Inuyasha mumbled, which earned a nudge from Kikyo, "I mean, it good to see you again, this is Kikyo, my girlfriend and I know you know everyone else."
"Where is Kagura?" She questioned
"Why would she be with us?" Sesshoumaru asked with distaste
"Aren't you two engaged or something, I read an article about the big business merge in one of my economics classes." Sara replied
"I'm not marrying that trash for my enjoyment, it is purely business." He haughtily answered
"Oh…when is the wedding again?" Sango asked
"In a couple of years" Sesshoumaru dismissed, "I think we can drop this subject while I'm still in a decent mood."
"O-kay, well it was good to see you…hmm…See you around I guess, don't have too much fun." Sara said to Sesshoumaru and walked over to some friends across the room
Once Sara was out of earshot Miroku said, "You now Sess, you should ask her out, I mean have some fun while you are a free man, you can tell she had a thing for you."
"I'd rather not." Sesshoumaru indifferently replied
"But you should." Rin agreed, "I mean, if I'm the one: little sweet Rin, is telling you to go out and get "lucky", then dear cousin, you should."
"I'll go ask her if she wants to go get coffee with us." Sango suggested
"Great idea my lovely" Miroku said while whispering something in her ear, what he said was unknown, but is earned a blush from Sango
"Shut up you pervert." Sango chuckled, "I'll go ask her now."
Sango jogged across the room to talk to Sara leaving the rest of the group on the other side.
Sesshoumaru rubbed his temples and knew this was going to be a long night.
"You know Sesshou, you should really smile more…" Kagome said after she gave him a peck on the lips.
"The only reason to smile is when I'm with you." she answered
Kagome smiled and insisted, "But you have lovely teeth, why not show them off."
This raised a chuckle from him, "and the only opinion of my teeth that matters is yours."
"Witty Fluff, Witty, very clever…" she mischievously giggled
Sesshoumaru, begrudged, walked into the café and saw Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha and Kikyo sitting at a table
"Where are Rin and Shippo?" Sesshoumaru asked, noticing that they were missing
"Rin took Shippo home; apparently he had a little too much to drink."
Sesshoumaru nodded and sat next to Sango, "So Sesshoumaru, how have you been?" Sara asked
"I've been better." He abruptly answered
"Well, do you want to go out with me tomorrow night?" she confidently asked as she sipped her latte
"I don't thi…" Sesshoumaru said but was cut off by Sango, "He would love to, and he'll pick you up at eight"
He glared at Sango and breathed out a deep sigh and starting to drink his black coffee.
"You're not going to that game on Friday." Sesshoumaru dismissed
Kagome scrunched her eyebrows and demanded, "And why not? I'm going with some friends just to see an away football game in one town over!"
"You know why!" Sesshoumaru countered, "Kouga is on that team and I do not want him fraternizing with you and I won't be there to stop him."
"Oh my god! Are we back on the 'Kouga' topic?" Kagome exasperated, "what are you so worried about? You know I wouldn't do anything with him or with any other man for that matter!"
"It's not you Kagome, it's him." He answered, "He has had a thing for you since the first time he saw you."
"But you can't tell me what to do! It's not my fault he is obsessed with me, I'm not going to change my plans just because of something so stupid!" Kagome yelled
Sesshoumaru let out an irritated sigh, "Who is accompanying you?"
Kagome let out a timid smile, "umm…Sango has to work, Rin and Shippo can't come…so just me, Miroku, Inuyasha and…and…Hojo…"
He sternly gazed and said, "No."
"Why!" she hollered
"Because you are going with my idiot half brother, Miroku the pervert and your stalker Hojo, to watch Kouga the man who is obsessed with you! No and that's final!"
"My Jesus Christ you are so out of control! You are so possessive and I can't stand it any longer! You have to dictate where, when and how I do things! I can't take it anymore!" Kagome angrily said
"Oh so you are ending our relationship!" Sesshoumaru boomed
"I GUESS SO!" Kagome said and then slammed the phone on the charger.
Sesshoumaru pulled up to a rather average looking residence and beeped the horn, he waiting there for several minutes and then he saw Sara come walking out.
He had to admit it to himself, she cleaned up rather well. When she toned down the make-up, put on decent clothes and sobered up, she was some what appealing.
She came out and walked towards the car, she had on some jeans and a simple gray tee shirt and let her hair hang loose, much like Kagome always did.
She opened the car and hopped in, "So Maru, where are we going?"
"I don't really care, where ever you wish." He absently said
"Somehow I knew you would say that, so I took the initiative and got us great tickets to that football game tonight and then we can go out to dinner."
"That was such a great game Inuyasha." Kagome inaudibly said as she and her friends walked to their car
"My favorite part is when Miroku and Hojo ate those nasty hotdogs and got food poisoning." Inuyasha chuckled
"Hey, that's not nice, they are in the hospital right now…" Kagome trailed off
"Hey Kags, are you okay? You seem out of it." Inuyasha asked
"I and Sesshou got into a fight, and I kind of broke up with him…I think…" Kagome whispered, "I don't even know…Inuyasha? You're left pocket is vibrating."
"Oh it my phone" Inuyasha declared as he took it out if his pocket and flipped the little silver contraption open.
"Where are you...You're there...Do you know how long of a drive that is…there is no one else who can pick you up…dam it…no…no…no…fine just shut up I'll come get you…bye" Inuyasha said into his cellular phone
"Who was that?" Kagome asked
"Shippo, he needs me to pick him up." Inuyasha grumpily said, "He missed the bus after the track meet and is stranded, his parents are at work and everyone else isn't picking up their phones."
"Do you want to come with me?" Inuyasha asked
"Not really, it is a really, REALLY, long drive. I'll se you this weekend though." Kagome answered
"Then how are you getting home?" Inuyasha asked
"The bus" Kagome answered, "or if I see anyone I know, I'll ask for a ride."
"Better take the bus and keep you pepper spray in hand or my brother will kill me…O…sorry Kags, I forgot you told me that you two are, umm…Feh...Ahh…" Inuyasha stammered
"It's okay, it was just a fight, I'm sure things will be okay between us." Kagome said
"Okay, just be safe and remember the right hook it taught you." Inuyasha said as he pulled away in his car
Kagome pulled her sweater around her body tightly and clutched her purse as she walked to the bus stop, until suddenly she heard a loud 'honk' behind her
It was Kouga with a bunch of his friends, blatantly already drunk, celebrating their victory.
"It...It'sssss my woman…why d-don't chu g-get inda car wit me babe." Kouga slurred
"Kouga, you're drunk, Go home and drink a gallon of coffee." Kagome dismissed, but she suddenly became alarmed when the car stopped, let Kouga out and drove away.
Kouga came sauntering towards petite form, not in the right state of mind, all inhabitations lost.
She started to hyperventilate and became deathly afraid when she saw 'that' look in Kouga eyes
"Fuck! My team didn't win." Sara said as she and Sesshoumaru walked back to the car
"Maru lets go get some chow." She suggested
"Where." He asked defeated
"WcDonald's is fine." She suggested
"At least you are a cheap date." Sesshoumaru mumbled
"Hey!" she said as she shut the car door, while Sesshoumaru started the engine
Kagome nervously looked from side to side hoping someone would help her, but alas no one was there, only Kouga who was shortening the gap between them by the minute.
"Uh…Kouga, you really need to go home and sleep this off." Kagome whispered
"I I-am gonna go home and s-sleep, b-but you'll be doin it wit m-me." Kouga slurred
Kagome's heart was pounding in her chest, she had never felt so vulnerable in her life before and instantly regretted not listening to Sesshoumaru.
Kouga grabbed on to her shoulders and rested his head on them. Kagome could feel him smirk before her moved his lips towards her neck and started to suckle them.
With all of Kagome's might she managed to put a little space between them and screamed and pleaded, "I have a boyfriend and I'm not interested Kouga! Stop before you do something you will regret!"
"Y-you're m-my woman!" Kouga protested in his drunken state
"No I'm not. Please stop it." Kagome whispered as a tear slide down her cheek and Kouga proceeded with his previous ministrations on her neck while his hands crept down to her thighs
"STOP!" Kagome shouted, she started to kick, punch, slap, anything to get out of his grasp
Finally, Kagome kicked him where it counted. He crunched over in pain, but it was more than likely he would be able to have kids because several seconds later he regained what composure he had left.
Not only was lust in his eyes, but there was also anger now. Kagome ran for it, while she frantically searched for his cell phone in her purse.
Kouga was getting closer as she pressed the numerical buttons, finally she heard a ring tone on his cell phone.
"Hello." She heard her boyfriend unemotionally say
"Sesshoumaru! Help me!" Kagome cried
"Kagome! What's a matter?" Sesshoumaru demanded with concern in his voice
"Hurry please." Kagome whimpered with losing her breath. Turned the corner and ran inside a local mini mart and hid in the back leaving a confused cashier at the front. When she saw Kouga run past her 'hide-out' she let out a sigh of relief
"Are you hurt?" Sesshoumaru shouted
"No, no…umm…after the game Inuyasha had to leave and Hojo and Miroku got sick so I was going to take the bus home or find a ride from a friend…b-but…Ahh…Kouga saw me in the parking lot and-and," Kagome cried, "He kept touching me, but I told him to stop and he wouldn't so I kicked him and ran. Now I'm hiding in a mini mart."
"Did he…" Sesshoumaru began to say
"No, he didn't get that far." Kagome answered
"Sesshou?" Kagome whispered
"Yes." He answered
"Can you come get me?" she timidly asked
"I'm already on my way." He said
"Thank for tonight." Sara said as Sesshoumaru pulled up to her driveway, "It was…fun."
"It wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be." Sesshoumaru absentmindedly said
"O thanks!" she sarcastically said, "Well uhh…do you want to come in?"
"…-sigh-…what the hell." She said in a defeated tone
