False Pretense

Description: He had fallen for her, and her him. But he screwed up, when it came to it he dumbly rejected her to uphold a reputation, but will he cave in when they start spending even more time together because of a band? SessKag,mainly

Recap: "And Kagome.. You really want to be famous?" Sesshoumaru asked grabbing his bag and leading Kagome from his room.

"Yeah, that's why I started this band. I love music. And I want to be recognized for my musical talent, and my voice. I really love it." Kagome answer with a smile.

"Then I'm behind you, all the way. I would like to be here for you, and help you in anyway." Sesshoumaru smiled back at her, as they exited Sesshoumaru's house

"Thank you, Sesshy- Kun." Kagome said as she took Sesshoumaru's hand and swung their arms back and forth as they walked. She was so happy right now. The only thing she had to worry about was Hojo, and that wont be a real issue. If need be, Sesshoumaru would help her out.

That would be fun.

Chapter 11. Secrets

Kagome and Sesshoumaru walked to school talking about all kinds of possibilities of the future. They also focused on Rin.

"Are we going to go visit her today?" Sesshoumaru asked as they turned into the walk to the school.

"I am. You don't have to." Kagome answered, looking at him.

"Yeah I'm coming. I'm sure my dad will let me, given her situation." Sesshoumaru said as he reached his locker, unlinking hands with Kagome to un out the code to his lock to get into his locker, as Kagome did the same. And then Sesshoumaru started to hear something. He knew Kagome couldn't because it was faint but clear. To him anyway, because of his demonic hearing. (A/N: The italics are what he's hearing.)

"Yeah, did you hear about that couple?" One girl who sounded rather stuck up asked another probably equally stuck up girl.

"No, I didn't, what happened? Who?" The other asked.

"Kyoko Sato, and Kai Nagakawa." She said with an obvious grin on her face.

"They had sex a couple weeks ago. They suspect she got pregnant, because she's been having morning sickness. That's why she hasn't been in school." She finished.

"Oh. My. GOD! Are you serious! Didn't they use protection? I mean come on. Not even anyone our age should be so dumb as to free- ball it, and hope for the best." The other girl stated.

"But Chizuru. They tried to use protection. They just couldn't find any condoms. They used" The girl started to giggle a bit. "Sandwich bags! And he broke right threw them!" The first girl said to the girl now identified as 'Chizuru.'

"Oh my GOOOOOD! EWWWW! I'M NOT EVEN THAT STUPID! …. Wait.." Chizuru shrieked, and realized she had just insulted herself.

"Nice.." Girl number one giggled.

Sesshoumaru kept listening because he was very amused. But in turn he kept messing up his locker combination.

"Ergh.." Sesshoumaru grumbled as he fumbled his lock, although he was still a bit distracted.

"Need help?" Kagome's voice heard from next to him and Sesshoumaru nodded and stepped aside.

"Combo?" Kagome asked.

"10-25-30" Sesshoumaru simply replied, and continued to listen.

"And, Yoko did you hear about those exchange students? They're real ninjas! From Konohagakure , the village hidden in the leaves." Chizuru spoke this time having her own information to share.

"Yeah! Oh my god, did you see the one with the black eyes and hair! Oh god, he sooo gorgeous!" The girl now identified as 'Yoko' asked Chizuru.

"Oh yeah! I think his name is Sasuke Uchiha. Yeah that's it." Yoko smirked.

"And did you see the pink haired freak with the huge forehead?" Yoko asked.

Chizuru shook her head, no.

"Yeah. Her and Sasuke were holding hands. I think it's a cover for a mission thing or something. Some one like Sasuke shouldn't be with someone so… Freakish.

"Well.. I don't know. I haven't seen her yet. I don't want to judge her yet." Chizuru answered.

"Of trust me. You'll agree." Yoko scoffed.

"Pink hair huh? Is it natural?" Chizuru asked.

"Yeah. She said it was. I heard her say it to someone. Her name is Sakura Haruno. How fitting." Yoko rolled her eyes.

"I think it sounds pretty." Chizuru added. And the bell rang for homeroom. Yoko scoffed again, and walked to homeroom leaving Chizuru to her own.

Sesshoumaru was snapped out of his trance like state by the bell, and walked to homeroom with Kagome who had been doing his morning tasks for him.

Once they were sitting in their seats. They didn't sit close to each other anymore because they were assigned seats. Sesshoumaru pulled out his cell phone and signed on to his MSN messenger. And gestured for Kagome to do the same. And she did. And she began the conversation. (A/N: I know the screen names are lame. :/)

EmoGirlKag: Yes, masta?

TheKillingPrefection: Did you hear about the new students? The ninjas.

EmoGirlKag: Yeah. They sound pretty cool. :]

TheKillingPerfection: Scoff. Even when your enemies with one of them? Mortal enemies?

EmoGirlKag: Your enemies with one? Which one? And why?"

TheKillingPerfection: The one that's exactly like me. Scowl. Our families are enemies. Have been since… I don't know exactly. Before I was born. Or the Uchiha. Our families, The Taisho's and the Uchiha's have been enemies for centuries. Families, clans.. Whatever. I don't care.

EmoGirlKag: Er.. Yikes. Hate to see you two fight.

TheKillingPerfection: Hm.. It would prove entertaining. But I don't think it would get physical. Just a bunch of funny threats and insults thrown around. Haha.

EmoGirlKag: I guess. That probably would be funny. Baha. XD

(EmoGirlKag has signed off)

(TheKillingPerfection has signed off)

And the bell rang and they both sign off to attend their first period class.

Sesshoumaru didn't care much for the class, he already knew most of it, and they weren't drawing or painting. The teacher was just going to talk. He was in art. Since it was the beginning of the year so they were reviewing what they learned the previous year. He was working on Porcelain when he caught a scent, and felt a death glare he was hoping wouldn't come anytime soon. Oh how he didn't feel like dealing with his dapple- ganger at the moment.

Sesshoumaru didn't bother to look up until he heard Sasuke arguing with the teacher.

"I can't! We don't get along very well." Sasuke explained also adding other not very nice things. Sesshoumaru smirked. So Sasuke was in fact aware of him. Interesting.

The teacher looked at Sasuke in disbelief. Today was Sasuke's first day here, and he already had an enemy? And she was starting to see why. This kid was a prick for a fourteen year old.

"Just sit down Mr. Uchiha. You've been here for two minutes and my patience with you is wearing thin." The teacher Mrs. Takeda said, with a nice vein popping from her forehead.

"You should probably just get over it and sit down before she pops you one, Uchiha. She's pregnant. Not that I care if she did, but you shouldn't make her mad. You know what they say: "Every time you piss off a pregnant woman, an Uchiha dies. Oh, wait.. Is that what happened to the Uchiha clan? Shit.. Nice going Uchiha." Sesshoumaru was laughing by now, and Sasuke was in near tears from anger, giving Sesshoumaru the most deadly glare he could muster. Sesshoumaru was holding his stomach from laughter, walking back to his seat.

Sasuke's eyes had turned red from the Sharingan though he only had one tomoe, signaling he wasn't as powerful as people made him out to be. Sesshoumaru sensed the new air and looked back to Sasuke.

"Your pathetic, Sasuke. Is that all the tomoe you have? Gee, even two would be worth actually praising you for. But this is truly sad." Sesshoumaru stated regaining his seriousness.

"Silence, you demon! Your just pissed off because you can't be a human like most of the population on earth, you just want to normal! You're the pathetic one here!" Sasuke shot back hotly.

"Ha! Be normal! I love my demon nature, and I'm quite proud of it and right now it's telling me to rip you to pieces and force feed them to that pretty little pink haired girl that wont leave your side. What was her name again? Sakura?" Sesshoumaru asked as he gave Sasuke a stare full of blood- lust.

Sasuke for the first time since he saw Itachi covered in his family's blood, those years ago, was truly frightened at a mere stare. But from a full fledged demon.

"I-If you touch Sakura EVER, I'll do the same to you and the girl that never leaves you alone, got it!" Sasuke threatened.

"Boys! Calm down now! Hyuuga Neji, please sit next to Sesshoumaru and Sasuke will sit there." Mrs. Takeda finally interfered. How could those boys hate each other much. They're only both fourteen years old, for goodness sake!

Neji sighed. Sasuke could be such a wretch sometimes.. "Yes ma'am." Neji stood with his things and took a seat next to Sesshoumaru.

Neji was wearing a black dress shirt un- tucked because it was too short but long enough to cover his entire torso. All the way buttoned with a pure white tie, and black tinted jeans. A chain was leading from the front to the back pocket where his wallet was, he had on a silver studded belt, had a black and white checkered bandana in his other back pocket, and his boxers were showing ever so slightly, they were plain black. The belt was there for pure show. And you could see an industrial pocking out of his hair. Sasuke was dressed similar but the colors were the only difference.

"I know I shouldn't bother but on behalf of Konoha, and Hokage Tsunade- Sama, I must apologize for Sasuke's wretched behavior. I know how annoying it is. Thinking he is superior to everyone. And he can't even properly use his Kekkei Genkai. I know.. It's pathetic.

"Don't apologize. I'm having fun." Sesshoumaru's grin only grew. Opal peered into amber.

"Your Kekkei Genkai.. The Byakugan?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Yes. I'm guessing the eyes gave me away." Neji said.

"Yeah. But you do understand why, Sasuke and myself are fighting right?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Yes, I believe so. I was informed there would be a silver- haired amber- eyed demon here with a crescent moon for a birthmark on his forehead. No one told me your name." Neji informed.

"Sesshoumaru Taisho." Sesshoumaru moved his hair so Neji could also see the crescent moon birthmark. "But do you understand the feuding?" Sesshoumaru asked again.

"I believe I do. But I wouldn't mind hearing the story from a feud participant."

"What's your next class?" Sesshoumaru asked. "It's time to go in a moment. I wont have enough time to explain."

Neji looked at his schedule. "Gym." He replied.

"Good. I'll explain as we run." Sesshoumaru said as the bell rang and everyone stood and exited the class. Sasuke walked out glaring at Neji for talking to "the enemy", and Sesshoumaru. For being Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru saw that the pink haired girl was waiting for Sasuke already. He held her hand rather tightly as she led her to their next class, which Sesshoumaru assumed they had together. Sesshoumaru smirked again.

Sesshoumaru gathered his things and slowly exited the room with Neji at his side, they were speaking as quietly as they could as they headed for the boy's locker room. Sesshoumaru spoke as Neji mostly nodded and asked a question here and there. But the real story had yet to come. Sesshoumaru was just buying time until they were more secluded.

And by the end of the "talk to buy time" they both came to the same conclusion:

Sasuke shouldn't be mad at Sesshoumaru.

But Izayoi.

Your welcome. Lol. Yeah this one came to me rather quickly. I'm surprised. But it's a nice little cliff hanger. Hehe. Anyway. I'll get writing right away for the next chapter. Promise.
