'Damn that fucking bitch...damn her straight to hell, if I get my fucking hands on her I'll wring her neck.'
Sesshomaru was fuming, but of course his face didn't show it, the dog demon lord always concealed his mood he couldn't risk damage to any near by humans. The treaty would be tarnished, and considering his children were half demon he didn't want to worry about more people going after them. He was cursing his ex wife who he had practically moved the Sun and Earth for. He'd given her everything, including moving to the human realm so their children could have a normal life.
What does she do to repay him? Gets in bed with his supposed best friend and files for divorce. Sure he was a demon, and a fearsome one, but he couldn't just uproot his children. Not to mention he wouldn't just go back and risk letting his own be corrupted by their idiot step father. He'd find someone better at some point and show Kagura how much better off he was without her. For now, he had to hurry and drop Kohaku at middle school and Rin at elementary school.
Today had been great, first he woke up at three in the morning to pounding on his front door. Only to answer and to find his two sleepy kids at the door with their 'loving' mother burning rubber in her haste to leave. Then, though it wasn't her fault, Rin found that Kagura had given her the wrong backpack so she didn't have her lunch pre-packed or her clothes for gym. He hadn't gone grocery shopping and had to stop and pick something up for them, and then his car broke down, by then he was so livid he walked them both to school before doubling back to the high school to go to work.
Sesshomaru was the History teacher, go figure, he had no issue admitting that he loved his job, even if they weren't his kids he took pride in having some of the top students in his class. He'd even tutored them on other subjects if they asked nicely enough, he walked in running his fingers through his hair before pulling it back into a low ponytail. He tried not to glare at his class, but he knew from their expressions that he already had.
"Class, I'm going to let you use today's class as study hall, and forget the test next week I'll postpone it."
They hesitantly spoke up to show there weren't any complaints, at school he used his powers to hide his demon markings but that was the only thing he changed. Every time Kagura pulled some stunt like this he became more and more impatient for Kohaku and Rin to turn twenty one so they could be completely taken from their mother. Despite being human, as a former mate to a dog demon of his status she was still granted the same rights as a demon mother, and if she wanted the kids in any way she would have a say in their entire lives until that magic birthday where the ties would be severed.
"Excuse me, Mr. Taisho?"
He looked up at the aging woman who had been the secretary in the main office for twenty years.
"What is it?"
"You have a new student."
He looked up and swallowed as opposed to letting out a gasp, he would never live it down. Even after placing mental blocks between himself and his beast, who chose Kagura, and all the crap he's gotten from his ex; he couldn't stop his already growing interest with the young woman. She had slight curves, and large brown eyes a sweet face and a smile that didn't hold the same venom that graced his ex's mouth.
"This is Kagome, she transferred when her family moved, this is her final year."
He cleared his throat and nodded to her, she smiled, he decided then he would take it to his grave but mentally thought the blush that followed was adorable. After brief introductions he let her pick one of the few open seats explaining the free time. Kagome sat in the back the blush hadn't faded yet, he was the most gorgeous man she'd ever met and now she was going to finish her year making an ass out of herself because she was no good with men who looked anything like that.
She reached in her bag and pulled out her cell phone when it started buzzing, it was a text from her older sister.
-Hey did you two make it OK?
-Yeah, I dropped Sota off at school just before I came.
-Good, thanks and I'm sorry, I can take you tomorrow.
- it's no problem, see you after school.
-3 you
-3 you too.
She put her phone away and looked at her schedule.
"Hey, Kagome right?"
She looked up at a girl with red hair and a big smile.
"Yeah."
"I'm Karan, stick with me and you'll stay out of trouble, 'kay?"
She blinked then smiled at her.
"OK."
"So what do you think of Mr. Taisho?"
She blushed.
"Well, he's nice..."
"Nice looking you mean?"
Kagome smiled slightly.
"Maybe."
"Well try not to let yourself fall for him, he's gay."
Her mouth fell open.
"Is he really?"
"Yeah I heard he swore off women one night, then things got a little steamy with an old friend of his."
"Oh I couldn't even tell.."
"I think he's a 'pitcher' so..."
Sesshomaru didn't know why, but it irked him beyond reason to hear their conversation, he ignored all the pretty female teachers so he supposed the rumor would have come around eventually but it annoyed him that Kagome was hearing it on her first day. Add see's incredibly hot young thing and she is told he is gay to the list, today was bloody wonderful.
...
As the school day moved closer to ending Kagome had found she had all of her classes except her actual free period with Karan. Throughout the day she had met Karan's friends, including Bankotsu, Jakotsu, Kouga, Ayame, and Hojo. Kagome was walking through the halls on her way to the library when she bumped into Sesshomaru. Her bag and books fell but he caught her around the waist they stared at each other before he backed away and let go of her.
"Um, sorry."
'Gay or not...he's still to sexy for his shirt.'
Sesshomaru smirked hearing her thoughts.
"It's alright I wasn't paying attention, let me help you with those."
"...O...K."
He bent down with her and helped her pick up her things, they stood and went their separate ways after she thanked him. He simply pretended he hadn't glanced at her to see how her backside looked in that little skirt.
...
Kagome was glad to see her sister and her husband, Miroku waiting in the car, she didn't mind walking Sota to school. However the unfamiliar area closer to this time of day wasn't something she wanted to explore. She got in and told them about the group that took her in. When it was time to get Sota he also had a new friend to talk about they had moved to this area from another part of Japan after a car accident took their mother and grandfather's life. Their mother had kept Kagome behind a year so she was taken into her sisters custody with their brother before school started.
"So Kagome, what has made that grin on your face so strong?"
She blushed.
"No reason."
"Oh? One of your friends a cute boy?"
"Oh no, he's not...he's not into women he's just walking..."
She reached over and covered Sota's ears so he couldn't hear.
"Sex on a stick so I figured I should drool over him while I can."
Miroku and Sango burst into a fit of laughter while Sota demanded to know what was being kept from him.
...
Sesshomaru was walking back with Rin and Kohaku, Rin was so excited to have met a little half demon girl to play with, Shiori stayed by her all day. Kohaku told him about Sota and how much they had in common. He was glad to hear that they had had good days, Rin tugged on his hand.
"Yes?"
"Did you make a new friend too daddy?"
He blinked.
"Why do you ask?"
"You're not mad anymore."
He only shook his head, he hadn't even noticed how much her presence had calmed him, didn't make a bit of sense but he wasn't complaining. He knew they would be with him for the week or longer and promised they could have pizza until the weekend when he went shopping.
...
Over the next week he did in fact have his kids, he had sent Jaken to fix his car, it didn't normally act up. He figured it could have been a little over heated either way, at least he didn't have to walk to the grocery store. He gave his students simple busy work that would cover information on the the test. He glanced up watching Karan and Kagome chat excitedly while they worked, he normally listened to their conversations he liked how intelligent Kagome already was. He hadn't seen any of her work come back any less than what he expected.
Kagome stretched.
"So how do you like the school?"
"It's nice, much nicer than my old school."
"Good, my sister Toran always says liking your surroundings is half the journey of learning."
"How so?"
"If you hate it here, you only focus on when you get to leave and don't pay attention in class, if you don't pay attention you mess up your grade and never learn anything."
"How true."
She smiled, she glanced forward then looked down at her book, Karan looked at Sesshomaru then back at Kagome.
"Still crushing?"
"He was just looking at me."
"And you were stretching so he'd have a better look?"
"I was stretching because my back was stiff."
"Yeah sure."
Kagome stuck her tongue out at her and looked out the window, Sesshomaru was no longer watching her but his smirk was glued in place.
