Chapter 7

...

She flickered her eyes around the hall, determined not to run into Sesshoumaru.

He had seen her that way. So embarrassing! Now she was a promiscuous and rowdy girl in his eyes.

Even though she could tell him how much that wasn't true he had seen the evidence.

Heading to the garage she peeked inside before going in.

J.J. was the first to greet her. "Hey Kagome."

"Hey," she gave a small smile. "I thought you weren't coming to school?"

"Eh," he shrugged. "I didn't feel like staying at home."

A large metallic ding rang through the garage as someone dropped a wrench on a heavy sheet of metal.

"Drop that fucking wrench one more time and see if I don't come over there and break your legs!" J.J. threatened in a roar.

Kagome gazed at him with large eyes.

He turned back to her with a tense smile. "I still have a hang over though."

She nodded and walked past him to change.

"Little sis must be really feeling bad," Yuta commented walking up to J.J.

"Sesshoumaru saw that side of her and she's really upset." J.J. was in deep thought. "I think our princess might have a crush and doesn't even realize it."

"J.J. what are ya scheming now?" Yuta asked suspiciously.

"We're gonna help her out a little is all," J.J. shrugged with a knowing smirk.

...

"Hey Sesshoumaru, welcome back!" Kagome heard J.J. greet.

She ducked down behind the car.

"Kagome? Yeah she's right-ah. Well she was here," J.J. said in confusion. "Come back later, she must have taken a break."

When the door closed Kagome peered over the car to see Sesshoumaru had left and heaved a sigh of relief.

That's how her day went. Avoiding Sesshoumaru at any cost.

Eventually she ran into Sango at lunch.

"Sango! Hey let's have lunch on the roof today." She said with a fake smile only to have it replaced with concern. "Hey are you ok?"

Sango's face wasn't hard and refreshed as usual. She look...really tired with dark circles under eyes.

"I couldn't sleep is all," Sango replied.

Kagome realized why. "It's my fault right? Even though I woke up in my own bed I know I snapped last night and the guys called you right?" Her eyes started to tear up. "And than you were worried for me all night so you didn't sleep. "

She had caused such trouble for a good friend.

"I'm sorry!" Kagome swung her arms around Sango.

"Kagome, it's ok. You're not the reason okay? I promise." Sango smirked and hugged her friend back. "If you keep drawing so much attention to us Sesshoumaru will find you for sure."

Kagome wiped her eyes and looked around at all the people staring.

"Come on, let's eat lunch on the roof," Sango took Kagome's hand and tugged her in the right direction.

Even though Kagome was like this... Sango had accepted her. Been her friend no matter what, even protected her. But all Kagome did was cause trouble. Even Sango couldn't keep up with her for much longer.

Even though she didn't want to lose Sango, when it came time Kagome would let her go. Sango needed to live her on life and stop worrying about Kagome.

...

When J.J. had told Sesshoumaru, Kagome was in the garage and the suddenly she had disappeared. Somehow, it had really pissed him off. So the whole day he searched the school for her and not once found her.

It was the last class of the day and his last chance to find her.

Coming through the door to the car garage it was Yuta who greeted him.

"Hey! You just missed little sis," he chuckled. "She went to the stock room-"

Sesshoumaru turned around and left. He had the information he needed and he would finally catch her.

It a few short minutes he reached the stockroom door and slammed it open with a little too much force.

Kagome jumped from the impact.

"Here you are," he seethed.

She looked away from him and went to walk behind a shelve. "I-I'm kinda busy right now," she stuttered.

"Why do you keep avoiding me?" he asked through his teeth, following her.

"I'm not. I've been really bust today," she answered back nervously before ducking behind another shelve like a scared rabbit.

Sesshoumaru quickly caught up and grabbed her wrist. "Stop running damn it."

"NO!"

His eyes widened at the outburst. He noticed then she was shaking but didn't release his grip on her wrist.

"You saw how I am. When I'm put into that kind of situation...I become a very promiscuous girl." Sesshoumaru could only see the back of her head since she wouldn't look at him. "

"I'll do anything with anyone."

He released her hand. "Do you really believe that?"

She finally turned with wide and confused eyes to meet his cold gaze.

"If you do that's pathetic. The kind of person I have experienced the past few days didn't speak or think like this." He came closer, trapping Kagome between the stock room wall and his body. "That's not the person I've come to be interested in either."

Her eyes watered and started to over flow. "I'll only cause you trouble though," she blubbered. "And you'll hate me!"

He smirked at her tear soaked expression. "Then I'll keep close to keep you out of trouble."

Capturing her lips with a kiss Kagome jerked but didn't resist. She tasted sweet and salty. Smelling of motor oil and sweat.

When they pulled apart he wiped her tears and straightened up. "Let's go back." He held out a hand for her to take.

Kagome took it with a smile Sesshoumaru had missed quite a lot.

Walking back to the car garage Kagome was still bothered. "Sesshoumaru, I'm glad we're friends again but why did you kiss me?"

Sesshoumaru almost tripped over himself with the question. He turned to her. "You're joking right?"

"Why would I be joking?" she asked innocently.

Even after everything he had said... This girl was too dense and pure for her own good. It was going to take some hard work to get through to her.

He dragged the palm of his hand over his face and let go of her hand. "Figure it out by yourself."

Kagome pouted and jogged to catch up with him. "So mean!"

...

When they reached the garage she was greeted by her friends.

"Oh so he found you after all?" J.J. wiggled his eyebrows.

"Yeah," she smiled brightly. "Oh! I'm sorry, I forget those bolts you sent me to get."

J.J. waved the apology away. "No big deal. So anything interesting happen between you two?"

Kagome cocked her head not sure what he meant. Then it hit her. "Oh, you mean that."

The whole garage had their eyes on Kagome.

"We made up and Sesshoumaru and I are officially-"

The gang leaned in.

"-friends!" Kagome exclaimed energetically.

"The poor guy..." Yuta sighed.

"After all the trouble we went too..." J.J. also sighed.

Kagome watched as it seemed almost the whole garage started lining up to say their apologies and encouraging things to Sesshoumaru.

"Hold in there buddy," Otoya patted him on the shoulder.

"I don't want your pity," Sesshouamru snarled.

Kagome was happy they were starting to warm up to Sesshoumaru. Even more full of joy that Sesshoumaru didn't hate her. Now they could continue their last high school year as friends.

...

AN: Poor Sesshoumaru. God help him, he's in for a battle.
