Chapter 2

A kiss and a secret

Kagome waved at the sliver blur that was Inuyasha. She ran uncertainly towards him. Throwing her arms around him she kissed his cheek,

"Hey Inuyasha!" She said letting go of his neck, "Your hair's really soft, did you know that?" she asked playing with the luscious lock of silver. But the voice that answered her was not that if the gruff voice of Inuyasha but the smooth, silky, sexy voice of his older half brother.

"Yes i know my hair is soft, please let go of it." Sesshomaru stated holding on to her wrist lightly. Kagome blushed and let go of the hair. The offending lock landing on his shoulder from which he brushed it off.

"I'm sorry Sesshomaru i thought you were Inuyasha." Kagome waited for a reply when none came she sighed, blushed more and turned to walk away. But she was stopped in the process by a very hard, very warm, chest. Kagome looked up but couldn't tell if it belonged to Inuyasha or Sesshomaru. "Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru laughed and a masculine rumbling sound. Kagome looked shocked, Sesshomaru laughing? "You must be vision impaired to think that half- weakling is myself." Sesshomaru stated Inuyasha mumbled something about arrogant brothers and led Kagome away. But only after Kagome stopped laughing long enough to say good bye to Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha spun her around until her back was resting against his chest.

"I thought you were supposed to stand up for your boyfriend. What was so funny anyway?" Kagome pulled away from him masking her pain and trying to act playful.

"Well it was funny your his half brother and so he called you a half weakling like you can't even measure up..to.. a weakling,.. and...well now that i think about it it wasn't really that funny...I'm sorry. I shouldn't of laughed at you in front of your older brother." Inuyasha kissed her cheek, like she had kissed Sesshomaru's.

"So why aren't you wearing your contacts? Did you fall asleep in them again?" Kagome shrugged and nodded. Skipping in a circle around him laughing until she skipped into a tree...

"Ouch..."

Kagome was sitting in her third period class when out of nowhere a note landed on her desk. Kagome ignored it and continued listening to her teacher drone on about how his daughter was such a great student and that she was passing all of her honors classes. She's so great he wishes he could talk about her all day long. Then she felt something hit her arm and looked down to see another note that said,

"READ THE NOTE!" in bright blue, over sized letters. Kagome sighed and picked up the first note. She began to read.

Kags! Oh my god, i can't believe it! Someone told someone who told someone who told someone else who told someone else who told someone else who told someone else who told me that Inuyasha is cheating on you. And if he is I swear that I'll rip his balls off and shove them down his throat.

Sango

Kagome crumpled up the paper putting it in her pocked to get rid of later. Shaking her head, she mouthed to Sango that she'd talk to Inuyasha later but she didn't want to deal with anything right now. She still had to get over what she did to Sesshomaru earlier that morning.

Kagome dug through her locker attempting to find her math homework, although she couldn't see what papers she was holding. She sighed and closed her locker, only to see the gorgeous face belonging to Sesshomaru, well only if you can call seeing the blurry outline of his face actually seeing...

"Need some help?" Sesshomaru's question held none of the mocking tone she thought it would. Sesshomaru opened her locker and pulled out her math homework, handing it to her with a smile she could not see.

"I thought you were a jerk? That's what Inuyasha always says. But lately it seems like he's the jerk.."

Flashback:

After class

"Hey Inuyasha can i talk to you? There's this rumor going around..and...Are you even listening?" Kagome asked, waving her hand in front of his face.

"Well i can't believe your stupid enough to even listen to such stupid things. Really Kagome, did you hit your head? Maybe you were born stupid?" Kagome slapped him across the face, 'How dare he say that to me!'

"You Jerk! I can't believe you have the nerve to say that to me! At least I'm passing my classes, not failing them like you!" Inuyasha grabbed her tightly by the wrist pulling her roughly towards him.

"Look bitch, if you want to keep your hands, you better not hit me ever again." Kagome whimpered and pulled away.

End flashback

Sesshomaru just smiled at her, "Hey you know you could always break up with him, find someone better for you?" Kagome blushed, nodding. The only someone else for her would be Sesshomaru but he didn't know that.

"Thanks for the help, but-" she pulled her hair all to one shoulder as the bell rang quite loudly around the school, "But i have to get to class." She slid her math homework into her book, held it to her chest and walked away, smiling over her shoulder at Sesshomaru.

-Narration-

Over the next few weeks Kagome and Inuyasha began to fight more then ever and Sesshomaru was the one she turned to for comfort. Sesshomaru broke up with Alexis, poor Sesshy. Kagome and Sesshomaru, now the best of friends, were hanging out in front of the school, talking when Inuyasha saw them. Kags and Inuyasha broke up last night.

-End narration-

"So it's true you are cheating on me. I thought you were better than that Kags. Damn, my own brother too, well bitch, your still mine, if you don't like it too bad." He grabbed her arm, causing her to wince in pain, she had 'fallen down the stairs' last night, and she was still recuperating from the many bruises.

"Inuyasha! Stop it! Let go of me! I hate you! I told you it's over! Leave me alone!" She screamed at him, then Sesshomaru stepped in.

"Inuyasha you have three seconds to let go of Kagome before i snap your wrist," He said grabbing the wrist that held Kagome, "Three," His grip tightened, Inuyasha winced, "Two," Again his hand was held tighter, "One..." There was a snapping sound and Inuyasha cried out letting Kagome go, who stumbled back and fell on to the bench previously occupied by Sesshomaru and her self.

Inuyasha cursed at them and ran away. Sesshomaru walked over to Kagome,

"Are you alright? Did he hurt you?" Kagome shook her head, still slightly shocked.

Sesshomaru pov:

"Inuyasha! Stop it! Let go of me! I hate you! I told you it's over! Leave me alone!" Kagome screamed at him, then I stepped in.

"Inuyasha you have three seconds to let go of Kagome before i snap your wrist," i say grabbing the wrist that held Kagome, "Three," I tightened my grip on Inuyasha's wrist, Inuyasha winced, but i enjoyed his pain, because of all the pain he had placed upon Kagome, "Two," Again my hand tightened around the half blood's wrist, "One..." I waited for him to let go but he didn't, I heard a satisfying snapping sound and Inuyasha cried out, letting Kagome go, I watched as she stumbled back and fell on to the bench where we previously sat.

Inuyasha cursed at me and ran away. I walked over to Kagome,

"Are you alright? Did he hurt you?" Kagome shook her head, her wavy hair bouncing around her shoulders. She still looked slightly shocked. "I feel as though i have to apologize on behalf of my half brother, He's always been quite jealous of me because of my mother and father, Also I have to apologize on my behalf for what i did, I should not have acted so quickly, it was not my place..."

Regular pov

Kagome shook her head again. "Thank you for helping me Sesshomaru, I'm glad you acted as you did and when you did." Sesshomaru nodded Kagome looked down, the happy gleam in her eyes, hidden by sadness. Sesshomaru hugged her suddenly and Kagome jumped slightly.

"Don't be so sad, you can do so much better than him, Really Kagome." Kagome looked over her shoulder at Sesshomaru again, a small smile on her beautiful face.

'I feel so comfortable in his arms, but he's so much like Inuyasha how do i know he won't do the same thing he did. Inuyasha was so nice at first, then he went obsessively protective disorder, and then after that got so immensely caught up in something else that he wouldn't talk to him about and never had time for me, but i really like Sesshomaru though I'm not sure if he likes me, Sesshomaru probably just trying to make me feel better. It's so unfair to not know what he's thinking. I wish i could read his mind- "Ah!! Ow, ow ow ow ow." Sesshomaru had shifted positions and his arm brushed a particularly painful bruise on Kagome's right side, the side her dad had kicked, it was quite painful.

"Kagome are you all right? I'm sorry i didn't mean to hurt you!" Kagome shook her head tears in her eyes, and turned away from Sesshomaru she didn't like it when people saw her cry. Besides he would want to know why she was crying, then she'd have to tell she fell down the stairs, and he would want to know why she wasn't at the doctors, or the hospital, or something, then she would have to lie again. She shook her head clearing her thoughts,

"It wasn't your fault, really it's just a bruise. You know how klutzy i can be, certainly you noticed over the past few weeks?" She asked her voice falsely cheerful, she struggled to refrain from crying from the pain. Sesshomaru looked sceptically at Kagome. She was crying, could a bruise really make Kagome cry, she seemed like a girl who could really take a hit. And now a bruise was actually going to make her cry? He had barley brushed her side and she was going to cry?

"Kagome what happened to you? It can't be JUST a bruise. Your practically crying." Sesshomaru stated turning her to face him. "Kagome what really happened?"

Kagome looked at him, trying to decide weather or not to tell him the truth. After a pause she looked at him seriously.

"Sesshomaru, I haven-" She was interrupted by the bell ringing. "I have to go. Thank you!" She ran towards her class leaving the small journal that had fallen out of her backpack behind. Sesshomaru opened it and read the newest entry.

Me and Sesshomaru are spending a lot of time together lately, but my 'father' found out about me and Inuyasha today i was going to break up with him anyway but not i have to. He said that he would deal with me later... He's coming, I'll write more later.

There was a pause and then there was a time and it continued.

That bastard, he did it again, he really beat me hard this time, it's not usually this bad, but I'm getting used to it so he's using new things to hurt me with, he used a piece of wood, he said next time everyone was out he would use something sharp. He's going to kill me one day, all because I'm a demon miko. He doesn't like the fact that i could be stronger than him when me binding comes off when I'm 19. Speaking of which, if i live one more month I'll be nineteen. Oh well g'night.

Sesshomaru shuddered with the strength of the reserve that it took to keep from transforming, her father beat her! How could he!?

"Kagome."
