Chapter Six

After my little chat with Miss Sashiame, I proceeded to gather my things so as to put them away in my briefcase. When I was finished, I left, locking the door on my way out. I walked down the hallway leading to the stairs, deep in thought.

"I believe I will wear the grey suit tomorrow." I said to myself as I proceeded down the stairs and out of the main entrance of the school. It was a beautiful day that afternoon. But it wouldn't be long before it was soured by an unwanted presence.

"Well, hey there, Tin Star." Naraku said with a smirk and a chuckle.

"Oh, hello Naraku. I thought I smelled a convict." I said referring to the time I arrested him for petty theft.

"Oh, Ha-ha-ha. Very funny. Anyways, I didn't wait here in the heat just to trade small talk. I wanted to talk to ya about my bitch." he said with a dark grin. I shuddered at the word he used to address Sangwa.

'Don't you ever call her that!" I yelled at him in a blinding rage.

He just laughed. "And what are you gonna do about it?" he asked blatantly. "You couldn't lay a hand on me! Sangwa would hate you if you did!"

He was right. As much as I hated him, he made Sangwa happy. Regardless, I walked over to him, grabbed him by the collar, and heaved him off the ground as he stared at me in surprise.

"Maybe. But if I don't leave a bruise, she'll never know!" I said as I drove my knee into his stomach. He fell to the ground, coughed, then staggered to his feet.

"Y-cough-You'll pay f-for that-cough, cough!" He said as he ran off. I wasn't bothered by his words. He was nothing but a coward deep down.

As soon as he was outta sight, I climbed into my old Model T and sped off down the road. When I finally got to Kagome's house, I parked the truck in the storage shed, and walked up to the front door. When I entered, I saw everyone waiting in the living room. Sangwa was the first to speak up.

"Oh Travis!" She said as she embraced me. "I'm so proud of you!" I had a blush on my face. Everyone behind Sangwa, even Kagome's parents, where snickering.

"Travis, you did so well on your first day!" Sangwa said as she released me.

"I agree. I believe the class was quite informative." Miroku said with his arms crossed and tucked into his sleeve.

"Were you really paying attention? Or were you staring at Izame!?" Sangwa shouted with red cheeks.

"No, I was very much interested in Travis' lesson. Especially the part about this Jesus fellow. I would much like to learn more about him." Miroku said as he scratched the side of his head.

"Oh? Well, technically I'm still on duty as a teacher. Ask away." I said as I sat down.

"No, I have questions, but I will hold them until class tomorrow." Miroku said. "I appreciate you willingness to answer, though, Travis."

"Anytime." I replied.

"Travis, were you nervous?" Sango asked as she sipped a cup of green tea.

"To tell the truth, no. I've always been a good leader….At least, that is always what I've been told." I said through a chuckle.

"I just can't believe it myself." Why, you're only a child, yet you are the Sheriff, AND a teacher!" Mrs. Higurashi said in surprise.

"You have a lot to be proud of son." Mr. Higurashi said as he took another puff of his cigarette, a habit which I am glad no one else in the Higurashi family shared.

Thank you, Mr. Higurashi. I appreciate that." I said with a smile.

"I just can't believe they hired a sprout like you to teach at a school house! Why, back in my day, you had to be forty years old to even have a chance of being a teacher!" Kagome's Grandfather said as he cleaned a relic from the shrine.

"Well he does a good job gramps!" Kagome said as she snapped at him. "Which reminds me Travis, what will we have for homework tomorrow?"

"I believe you will have a reading assignment in the book of Genesis." I said in thought.

"Feh, well that sounds delightful." Inuyasha said with a scowl. "I hate readin'."

"You might like it Inuyasha. Why are you so reluctant to try new things?!" Kagome asked in an irritated voice.

"Well maybe I don't wanna try new things! Maybe I just wanna be done with school!" Inuyasha snapped back. "You gotta problem with that!?"

'Here they go again' I thought to myself as a laughed under my breath.

After Kagome and Inuyasha settled down, we talked a little while longer. Soon, we began to grow weary and everyone began to leave for home. Sangwa was the last to leave. I walked with her down the steps of the Shrine, talking with her every step of the way.

"My goodness, it's a beautiful night." Sangwa said looking at the stars.

I looked at her as I replied. "Yes it is…..but…"

"But what?" she asked curiously.

"It's not near as beautiful as you." I said with a red face.

Her face also reddened at my answer. She was so distracted in fact, she stumbled upon a stone. I saw her falling forward as I reached out to catch her. She fell gently into my arms. For she was as light as a feather.

"Sangwa, my goodness, are you ok?!" I asked with an extremely concerned look on my face.

She began to answer, but stopped when her eyes met mine. She gazed deeply, as if into my soul with those chocolate brown eyes. I stared into hers, wishing that she could be mine. But before I could say a word, our lips met in a passionate kiss. Within a moments notice, our emotions, which had been bottled up for four years, were instantly released as we kissed. Fireworks seemed to go through my mind as my tongue entwined with hers. We had our eyes open the whole time, with tears flooding down our faces, for the feelings that we had for each other were now overwhelming us as they were released. We didn't have to say a word, for we were saying 'I love you' just through eye contact. We released after what seemed to be an eternity. Breathing heavily and blushing madly.

"Travis……I….I…. I love you! I've always loved you! I was just so afraid that you didn't love me back!" Sangwa said through tears.

"Sangwa…..my dearest Sangwa… I have loved you since the first time I saw you. You were like an angel sent to me from Heaven! I…I… I couldn't live without you. You complete every fiber of my being!" I said trying so hard not to fall to my knees.

We embrace and let our lips meet again. I could feel love for her in every part of my heart and soul. And I knew she felt the same for me. Our moment of love and passion could not last forever, however. For the beam of a flashlight landed upon us. As we looked in it's direction, we could see it was Kagome.

"Oh! Oh my Gosh! I-I didn't mean….Oh My Gosh! You two were kissing! I knew you two would realize you were perfect for one another!" Kagome said in excitement. Our cheeks turned red as we realized that we had been discovered.

"Umm…Kagome, my friend….Do you mind if we, uhh…" I said as I looked at Sangwa.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt…I'll leave the door unlocked for you, Travis." She said as she walked away.

When we were sure that Kagome was out of sight, we sat down on the steps to the Shrine and began to talk, hand in hand.

"Sangwa, I…I'm conflicted." I said as I rubbed her delicately soft hands.

"Over what Travis?" She asked with concern.

"What about Naraku?" I asked. Even though I hated him, I didn't want her to reduce herself to cheating on him.

"Travis, I don't love Naraku…I love you…I just…I just got together with him because…I was confused…But if you will come with me tomorrow…I want to break my relationship off with him." She said with a smile.

"Sangwa….You would do that for me?" I asked as a tear rolled down my face.

"Yes, Travis….I…I love you!" She said as our lips met once more. This kiss being even more passionate than the last. We embraced each other tightly as we let our tongues familiarize themselves with the other's mouth. Sangwa grabbed my hand and placed it upon her breast. I gasped and she pulled away, wondering what the matter was.

"Sangwa.." I said as I moved my hand. "I…."

"Travis…I'm sorry…I didn't mean to move so fast…" She said with a frown.

"No…I'm sorry, Sangwa…" I replied. "I'm just frightened because….I've never been with a woman before…" I said as I looked at the ground. "I just need a second to take all this in…"

I paused for a second….Just long enough in fact, to start kissing Sangwa again… This time however, I willingly placed my hand upon her breast as my other hand roamed along her body. Her hand was holding the one upon her breast while the other roamed along my back. My kisses began to roam from her mouth to her cheek and down to her neck then back again. But as we stopped once again…We realized our loving should desist before things went to far. We were, of course, Catholic and had an obligation to save our virginity for the person we marry.

Being a gentleman, I walked my lady back to her home. Before I left her, We shared on last kiss. Then she went inside. I, on the other hand, began my walk back to Kagome's, with a smile gracing my lips and a skip in my step.

Well, here it is, Chapter six. I hope you enjoyed it. It's a little taste of what's to come. Please review.

God Bless.
