Disclaimer: as much I wish I owned this story I don't.
Kasumi P.O.V.
Well I genuinely annoyed Sesshomaru with my last comment... I guess I am going to pay for it now.
Sesshomaru had me pinned against the outside school wall. It was after school so nobody was here. I live alone so I know that no one will worry about me. Maybe I should scream?
As if reading my mind Sesshomaru then used his right hand to cover my mouth.
A/N: I realize Sesshomaru is only supposed to have one arm but in this story he has two. It makes my life easier.
Shit... I am going to die here... huh... I wonder what's it like... Death... Is it peaceful? Is there a heaven? Will I go to hell? I probably will go to hell. I never gave life a try. Whatever.
Sesshomaru: do want to die miko?
He removed his hand from my mouth.
Me: my name is Kasumi not miko.
Sesshomaru: your life is hanging in the balance and you are worrying about me getting your name right?
Me: well ya duh! I want to die knowing that my killer knows my name.
Sesshomaru looks taken aback by this comment.
Sesshomaru: so you wish to die? Are you not afraid of death?
I start laughing. Sesshomaru lets go of me completely. I fall to the ground laughing. When I stand back up I wipe a tear from my eye.
Me: I haven't laughed that hard in a really long time.
Sesshomaru: explain yourself miko.
Me: well since you're calling me miko I guess you're not going to kill me. Sesshomaru why should I fear death? If I die then I die. I don't have anything that I savor in this world. No one cares for me. Why would death be any different? If I go into hell I doubt it could get much worse than this. I already live in hell. My life doesn't have a purpose.
Sesshomaru then walks away.
Me: so I was right in saying that you aren't going to kill me?
Sesshomaru: I don't need to kill people who want to die.
Well I don't want to die but I wouldn't care if I did.
I walked home as if nothing happened. When I got home I started making dinner. Tacos! That's something I would miss that isn't in hell.
While I sat down to eat my yummy tacos I began thinking about Sesshomaru and all the people she saw today.
Me: he is kinda arrogant but at least he has some honor in himself. He wouldn't kill me because he said... He doesn't kill people who want to die.
Hmmm... His brother Inuyasha seems pretty cool... And then there is Kagome. She doesn't recognize me.
A/N: yes I know my character is talking to herself. It is a sure sign of insanity.
Me: well I wouldn't expect Kagome to recognize me. After all last year I dressed in black baggy shorts, and baggy black sweatshirts. My hair was also really short like a boy.
A/N: ya you are probably annoyed by all these author notes but please ignore the fact that my character's hair grew from a boy cut to mid length over the summer. I am pretty sure that isn't possible.
Me: then there is Miroku. He hasn't changed from last year. He was my only friend. Oh and Sango! She also seems nice. I wonder what her story is. Uuugggghhhh and Kikyo. She is such a bitch. She completely ruined my life. Uuuggghhhh and she is my locker buddy...
The rest of my day went by without incident.
Kasumi's dream
Walking... Walking... With no purpose... I look ahead and I see Sesshomaru, Kagome, Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango. I run trying to catch up to them. I couldn't run fast enough though. They started to disappear into the blackness. I ran after them telling my legs to move faster but it had the opposite effect. I felt like I was moving through water. When they finally disappeared into the depths of my dream I stopped chasing them. I felt my old anxiety return to me. I sat down and curled up into a ball. I felt like I was falling apart. There was a huge hole in my chest. A gap that I couldn't fill. I saw Kikyo standing above me.
She smirked and said: what's the matter? Can't you do anything right?
She scoffed at me and walked away.
I started crying. Hot tears running down my face. I couldn't stop them. They kept on coming as if I was back in the time when my parents died.
I woke up. I felt the tears on my face. I quickly wiped them away.
Me: it's alright... That's all in the past... Let it go...
I ignored the tears forming in my eyes threatening to remind me of my pain. I got dressed and put on a bit of mascara. I made some toast with Nutella. I grabbed my backpack and walked out the door.
Yay! School time!
As I was walking I ran into Sesshomaru and Inuyasha again. Me and Inuyasha talked while Sesshomaru walked in front of us with the same silence as before.
Suddenly Sesshomaru stopped.
Sesshomaru: miko... Why were you crying?
I was frozen. How did he know?
Me: what do you mean?
Sesshomaru: do not try to fool me. I can smell the tears. You were crying this morning. Why?
Me: maybe you're losing your grip. I don't cry.
Sesshomaru: hn
We started to walk again.
Inuyasha: were you crying?
Me: no! Wouldn't you be able to smell them if I was?
Inuyasha: my sense of smell isn't as good as Sesshomaru's is. I am only a hanyo and tears don't have a strong scent.
Me: excuses excuses... I thought you were better than that Inuyasha.
Inuyasha: stupid girl...
Me: did you say something?
Inuyasha: ya I said stupid gi-
Sesshomaru: stop being naïve. She could purify you in a second.
Me: thank you Sesshomaru!
Sesshomaru: hn
I whisper: is that all you can say...
Sesshomaru: no I just chose not to speak.
The rest of the walk was in silence.
When we got into the school Inuyasha went down one hallway while my and Sesshomaru went down another. That's right... His locker is next to mine...
While I was putting my things away Sesshomaru asked me again.
Sesshomaru: why?
Me: why what? Why do we have day and night? Well you see the earth revolves on this thing called an axis. Of course the axis isn't really there but it is an imaginary line tha-
Sesshomaru: I see I was not clear enough for someone of your low intelligence.
Me: aaawwwe you're too nice!
Sesshomaru: why were you crying?
Me: why are you so stubborn?
Sesshomaru: why are you avoiding my question?
Me: I'm not avoiding it. I just don't have an answer cause I wasn't crying.
Sesshomaru then pinned me against my locker.
Me: remember we went over this. Not afraid of death.
Sesshomaru: I will not kill you. But I will make your life a very painful experience.
Me: well I guess I rather if you'd kill me then.
Sesshomaru: ...
Me: fine I had a nightmare. It brought back old memories. I started crying. Happy?
Sesshomaru: ... What was your nightmare?
Me: you wouldn't understand. You don't know me.
Sesshomaru: alright I will let you go since you told me why you cried. But one day you will tell me your nightmare.
One day? What does he mean by that?
