A young beauty stood outside the gates by herself as she watched the other students enter.
'Okay Kagome you can do this' she thought inwardly giving herself encouragement 'The longer you stay here the harder it becomes'
She thought about going home and getting a fresh start tomorrow 'NO' her conscious growled warningly 'I am beautiful, smart, kind, sweet, and intelligent.. I can do this, I'm. . . I'm. . . A GOOFY GOOBER'
She sweat dropped at her inner self. 'I never should have watched that stupid movie all night with Souta'
She took a deep breath and began to move forward through the gates till she reached the doors.
"Well no turning back now" she said softly to herself.
'Classes must have started already' she thought looking at the empty halls 'okay, mama told me to go straight ahead and the office will be on my right. . . . oh here it is'
"Um hello, excuse me ma'am" she said shyly 'Oh come on girl you can be louder than that, you're a junior for Kami's' sake'
"Yes" the woman at the front counter replied nicely.
She was an elderly woman with long white hair, tanned skinned, and an eye patch.
"My name is Kagome Higurashi and I'm the transfer student" she said softly.
'Oh great going genius she probably didn't even hear you'
"Oh Miss Higurashi we've been expecting you, now where did I put it" she said looking through her desk "Ah here it is. . . this is ye schedule Ms. Higurashi" she aid presenting it to her "You better hurry dear before you're late for your 1st class"
"Thank you" she said taking it before making her way into the halls.
'What a sweet child'
~**XXX**~
"OK lets see he. . .AHH!" she screamed when someone roughly pushed her into a wall.
"Watch it wench" he yelled back.
"Inuyasha" she heard someone call from behind. Said boy stopped and turned to his brother "You would do well watch your attitude little brother" he spat as he helped the girl up.
"Whatever" he grumbled before walking to his class.
"I apologize for his shameful behavior" he said picking up her things.
"Th-Thank you" before looking up to accept her things.
Boy did she regret looking up.
This man was gorgeous. He was at least 5'10'' with silver hair golden eyes and beautiful marks on his flawless face. 2 magenta stripes on both cheeks with a crescent moon adorning his forehead.
'Cute' he thought smirking at her pink cheeks 'entertaining as well' he mused as her face became hot under his gaze 'edgy' she had on a black mini skirt with a white tank top and black leather jacket with the sleeves rolled to her elbows and some black Jordons.
"You must be Kagome Higurashi our newest student. I am Sesshomaru Tashio your tour guide may I see your schedule"
"Y-Yes" she said giving him a piece of paper.
Chemistry
Honors Trigonometry
English Literature.
Human Anatomy
Lunch
Free Period
Gym
She nearly melted when he took her hand in his.
"It looks like we are in all the same classes Ms. Higurashi" he said as he led her to their first class.
"Kagome. . . You can call me Kagome" she said "but only if you want to" she said immediately after.
"In that case Ka-Go-Me" he said huskily into her ear "You may call me Sesshomaru"
He couldn't help the chuckle that escaped him. He wondered how redder she can become.
'What have I gotten myself into'
~**XXX**~
"Mr. Wolfe"
"Hai"
"Ms. Tanaka"
"Hai"
"Mr. Tashio"
"Hn"
"Mr. Tashio" she sighed tiredly "It's either Hai or Yes Ma'am"
"Hn" he said making the females giggle and the teacher aggravated.
"Ms. Higurashi"
"Hai"
"Oh Ms. Higurashi we've been expecting you, we are one student short so for the rest of the term you are going to be paired with Mr. Tashio"
She got her things and went to it with Sesshomaru, trying to avoid all the glares from the females and the lustful gazes from the males.
'I wish big brother were here'
~**XXX**~
Kagome was only too glad when lunch finally arrived. Every class has been the same. Sesshomaru would sit with her trying to force her talk while she nearly suffocated from the hatred in the air from the other females.
She was about to get in line when someone grabbed her hand and led her in the opposite direction.
She wasn't surprised when she saw Sesshomaru smirking down at her.
"Everyone" he said getting their attention "This is Kagome. . . . Kagome this Kouga Wolfe and his girl Ayame Tanaka from our Chemistry class, Miroku Houshi and his girlfriend Sango Taijiya from English"
"Hey" they said.
"I must say I have never seen such a beautiful creature with the most enchanting iris colored eyes in my life" Miroku said holding her hands in his own "Would you do me the honor of passing them along in my blood line by bearing me many children"
THUD
"I apologize for my soon to be ex. He's a bit of a womanizer but harmless nonetheless"
"Where is the moronic ingrate" Sesshomaru said looking around.
"He should be here soon enough" Kouga said "he got held up in our last class"
"And where do think you are going" Sesshomaru said taking Kagomes' hand.
"I-I was about to get some"
"Lunch" he chuckled setting down the tray in front of her.
The others looked a little shocked before a small smile played on their lips.
'Well it's about time'
"Who the hell are you are and why are you in my seat"
"I-I'm sorry I- I didn't know" she was about to get up but a hand made her remain seated.
"Well now you do so get the hell up" he growled viciously. By now she was terrified. She could have sworn his eyes flashed red for a second.
"What the hell is your problem mutt" Kouga growled standing up.
By now they had everyone's attention.
"My problem you flee beaten wolf is that I don't need another one of his little whores stinking up my space" he growled "I mean look at her, at least the others had some decency to cover up but she doesn't leave much to the imagination"
The demons turned smelling salt water. It was Kagome with tears coming down her cheeks.
"I-I'm s-sorry" she said before sprinting out of there beyond mortified.
Inuyashas' ears slightly flattened from the glares coming from all around.
The group turned to Sesshomaru. He was incredibly quiet throughout the ordeal.
He stood and calmly stalked his way over to his brother and whispered something into his ear making them go flat against his head. They walked out quietly.
~**XXX**~
"I-I'm sorry" she sniffled as she picked up the books.
"It is of no consequence" he said smoothly.
She looked up to give him his stuff but dropped it once again seeing who it is.
He had long black wavy hair, piercing red eyes, and beautiful pale creamy skin.
He stood the same height as Sesshomaru.
"Kagome" he said surprised.
"Naraku. . . what are you doing here"
"I go here, what are doing here and why are you crying" he said wiping away the tears.
"Oh god I missed you so much" she said crying into his chest. He slightly pulled away and lifted her bridal style before sprinting off some where private.
The roof of the school.
She ran back into his arms and he held her close as she cried.
Whoever did this was going to pay.
~**XXX**~
"We couldn't find her" Sango said.
"We looked all over but nothing" Ayame continued.
"Not even a whiff of her scent" Kouga grumbled.
"You must really be infatuated with this girl Sesshomaru" Miroku said " to have us all going out of our way to find her"
Sesshomaru has never done so much for a female. Any female for that matter, especially one he just met.
"This girl must be something special"
"Hn"
~**XXX**~
Class was about to begin when the door opened.
"Mr. Onigumo I imagine you have a reasonable explanation for this intrusion"
"Hai sensei-sama, this is Kagome Higurashi your new student I found her wondering the halls trying to find her way so I brought her here"
"Very well, Miss Higurashi take your seat next to Miss Taijiya. Class speak amongst yourself I will be but a moment" he said before leaving the class.
"Kagome are you ok, where were you, we couldn't find you" Sango asked concerned.
"Hai, I am fine Sango-Chan thank you" she said before taking her seat not looking up at anyone.
Naraku whispered something in her ear which only she could here. She agreed obediently.
He then focused on Sango.
"Taijiya, inform Sesshomaru I am looking for him" he demanded.
She nodded as he turned to leave.
Just like Sesshomaru, Naraku was also the most desired amongst the opposite sex as well as the most feared.
~**XXX**~
Kagome couldn't be any happier. It was finally the last class of the day.
'Just 2 more hours then home sweet home' she thought getting into uniform. It consisted of a black sports bra and thick gym leggings that stopped a little above the knees.
She walked out the locker room and into the gym.
Everything went quiet when males gazed lustfully at the raven haired temptress.
Kagome was innocent enough to not know what effect she had on males. She always thought of herself as a just an average girl. She didn't get what the fuss was about. She always thought she was pretty to look at, but so is all the other girls at this school. What makes her so special.
"Kagome"
She turned and saw Sesshomaru approaching.
"Oh hello Sesshomaru" she said with the smile that made his heart skip a beat.
"Come with me" he said gently taking her hand in his "the others are waiting"
She looked in the direction and saw the others talking to each other. Then she saw the one person that hated her more than anything. Inuyasha. She was never good with people that hated her. She would get nervous and ramble on and on. That usually made things worse. It was a sure way to infuriate the hanyou further. In all honesty she was a little afraid of the half demon.
Sensing her sudden discomfort, Sesshomaru wanted to reassure her everything would be fine but never got the chance.
"Kagome"
Her face lit up like a Christmas tree when she saw Naraku coming towards her. She wiggled herself free from Sesshomarus' hold before running into Narakus' arms.
Every ones mouth dropped.
NOBODY ever touched Narakus' person. Not even the women he dated, at least not with out his permission. Even Sesshomaru was taken back at the display but didn't show it.
He couldn't help the feeling of jealousy creeping its way into him.
They almost fainted seeing Naraku embrace her back and kiss her forehead.
"Come" was his only order before walking in off.
She turned and bowed respectively to Sesshomaru.
"Thank you for your kindness Sesshomaru but I must decline your offer" she said politely before following Naraku.
"Hn"
'When did this happen' he thought watching her walk off.
He needed answers, and he WILL get them.
~**XXX**~
The day was finally over as she put the books that were irrelevant for tonight assignments away in her locker before shutting it.
"Kagome"
"Oh hello Sesshomaru" she said with that same smile he loved.
"Do you have any means of transportation home this evening"
"Um. . . well no" she said with a light blush.
"Well from now on consider me at your services"
"Oh no I-I couldn't possibly accept such a generous-" she was silenced by a gentle clawed finger against her lips.
'Hmm new record' he thought amused seeing her turn a shade of red that had yet to be discovered.
"It isn't very polite to decline an offer from a friend who is willing to give it" he said softly into her ear.
He could practically feel the heat of her blush intensify.
"Come" was all he said before leading her away towards the parking lot.
"Oi what the hell is it with you and that wench"
'He is just asking for an early death'
"I'm sorry" they turned to see Kagome pulling away from Sesshomaru.
"I-I'm not sure what I did to offend you so much but I sincerely apologize" everyone was glaring daggers at Inuyasha.
Now he felt a little bad.
"I think I'll just walk home, its not far at all, it's only 20 minutes way and besides I enjoy walking" she said with a reassuring smile.
"I will not allow you to walk home"
They turned to see Naraku with his loyal crew following behind. It consisted of Hakudoshi, Kanna, Bankotsu, Renkotsu, Suikotsu, and Kagura.
"Why the hell is-" Inuyasha was silenced by a mean right hook to the jaw making him tumble backwards.
"YOU WOULD DO WELL TO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT HALF BREED" Naraku snarled "IT'S NO WONDER YOU CANNOT KEEP A WOMN INTERESTED FOR MORE THAN A FEW WEEKS. YOUR MANNERISMS ARE NOTROCIOUS. I SHOULD KILL YOU FOR THE ANIMOSITY YOU DARE LAY UPON MY SISTER"
"SISTER!"
