Chapter 2

"Damn it, here comes Naraku..." Sango cursed and glared over Kagome's shoulder.

The two had been eating lunch across from one another at their small table before Sango's mood had turned sour.

Kagome glanced back herself to see a group of boys headed there way. The Spider's were a gang that was feared more than anything in this school and in this town, especially there leader, Naraku.

"Don't look so unhappy to see me Sango," came a slimy voice. It made Kagome's skin crawl.

Sango grit her teeth and gave a deadly glare. "What do you want?"

Naraku smirked. The action was the opposite of amusing, it was more dark and sinister. "I'm here to see how my favorite girl is doing of course," he answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

He turned his gaze to Kagome. The most innocent and oblivious expression displayed on her face as she peered into his red eyes with confusion.

An arm went around her shoulders as Naraku took a seat next to her.

"I appreciate the visit but you really don't have to come so far," Kagome replied nervously and tried to shrug off his arm.

Sango's nose crinkled and she balled her hands into fists under the table.

"Anything to see that cute little face of yours Kagome," Naraku cupped her chin. "Maybe I'll pay you a visit in that garage your always in. When nobodies around to-"

Sango stood up quickly knocking over the open bottle of water next to her. The clear liquid spattered and slowly leaked to the space between Kagome and Naraku. He smoothly moved away from Kagome to avoid the water.

He raised an eyebrow at Sango in dark amusement. "Why don't you go back to your lunch and leave us." It was worded like an order instead of a suggestion or question.

Sango met his red gaze with her dark chocolate eyes full of hate and anger. "I lost my appetite."

"Oh," Kagome said calmly and scooted away from Naraku's direction. Some of the water and dripped onto her blue skirt, part of the girl's school uniform.

Sango took the distraction as her opening. She moved around the table and grabbed Kagome's hand to tug her away from the lurking danger.

"Let's go clean that water off Kagome." Sango tugged Kagome off to the girl's bathroom.

"Ok," Kagome agreed.

Naraku stood still and watched them go. "That friend of Kagome's is becoming a real nuisance," he said out loud to no one in particular.

"Boss!" Someone yelled.

Naraku glared at the guy running towards the gang. "What?" he snarled still looking in the direction the girls had gone.

"Four of our guys were attacked earlier in the courtyard!" The male reported.

"By who?" Naraku sighed, already bored with this news.

"A newcomer to the school. Sesshoumaru Taisho," the guy shouted.

The name made Naraku glanced at his informant. "What was the reason?"

Under Naraku's heavy watch the informant sputtered. "W-well, he ah, bumped into Hiro and wouldn't apologize. Sesshoumaru didn't even flinch when he was told Hiro and the other's were part of the Spider's."

"That's why you've wasted my time?" Naraku asked. "Because Hiro and the other's were so arrogant they took on someone stronger than them? Come back next time you have something important." Naraku glared and the guy fled with a shaky "Yes sir."

"Boss, should we at least investigate this new comer?" One of his top members asked.

"No Jinx. Leave him be. Some new comer is not worth my time." Naraku stood up and started to walk away from the table. His long wavy black hair settled down against his back and his bangs that were parted in the middle slightly bobbed as he took long strides with his legs.

But I do wonder what Sesshoumaru Taisho is doing here, Naraku thought.

The rest of his gang followed their leader quickly. People moved out of their way upon seeing them and some girls swooned over Naraku. To be associated with such power and looks was tempting to anyone.

The water that had spilt on the now abandoned table was left for someone else to clean up. The droplets of water slowly tripped off the side in a slow rhythm.

In the reflection of each drop was a tall figure with white hair.

...

"All I'm saying is try not to be alone anywhere," Sango pleaded.

Kagome sighed. "Sango you worry about me to much."

"I don't trust Naraku." Sango shivered. "He makes me want to puke."

The girls came to a stop in front of a classroom door.

Sango but a hand to her face. "Just promise me ok?"

"If it'll make you feel better than I promise," Kagome finally conceded.

"Thanks," Sango smiled. "I'll see you after class."

"Ok." Kagome offered a small smile and waved as Sango entered the open door.

Kagome started walking to get to her class. She hated that Sango was always so worried.

I think she's losing her youth over it, Kagome mused.

Kagome bumped her shoulder against something sturdy.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Kagome apologized. Her gaze traveled up a lean body to rest on a handsome with a strong jaw line and perfect tanned skin. Tattoos of two maroon strips on either side of his face under his eyes and a blue crescent moon on his forehead. Cold golden eyes peered down at her.

Kagome found herself leaning towards him. "Such nice eyes." The words escaped her mouth before she could stop herself. She blushed and gave him his space. "I'm sorry. I have a habit of saying whatever I'm thinking." She scratched the back of her head making her black raven hair move.

"You're new right?" He was wearing the school uniform for the boys. Navy pants with a matching coat and a white button down underneath. But he wasn't wearing the black tie and he left his coat unbuttoned to expose the white shirt with one button undone on top.

He pushed right past her and kept walking without a word.

Kagome tilted her head. "Huh. Guess he's not a social person."

Still he didn't have to be so rude, she huffed.

...

"I have so much homework," Sango grumbled as the two walked home.

"I need to go search online for some cheaper parts," Kagome added.

"Oh yeah. How's the car coming along?"

"We're so close Sango! Only a few small parts, a nice paint job, and it'll be good to go!" Kagome threw her fist in the air.

"Can't wait to see it race this Saturday," Sango replied content with her friend's happiness.

The pair came to a split street where they would go their separate ways to get home.

"Be safe!" Sango yelled as she took the right turn.

"You too!" Kagome shouted back.

The shrine where her house was built wasn't that far away for her to walk home. Plus there was a car garage in town she always liked to peer into. The street led onto a sidewalk right through town were things became noisier and more public. Kagome hummed a tune as she followed the cement path. When the car garage came into sight she slowed down and observed what was going on. One day, she'd have her own garage. That was her dream after all. A familiar figure emerged from under a car. His white hair in a pony tail and his mechanics clothes filthy. He wiped his hands on a rag and went to rummage through a tool box.

Sesshoumaru! Kagome gasped.

He was a mechanic! Maybe he would join the car garage. They were always looking for new members. Plus maybe he wouldn't feel so lonely in a new school surronded by people with the same hobby as him.

Yes, it was decided. Kagome would get Sesshoumaru, the supposed White Demon, to join the school's car garage!
