Actions Speak Louder Than Words

 

Chapter 1-Her

 

There she was.

 

The girl of my affection. Or secret affection, I should say. She didn't know of my infatuation, my…obsession with her. Hell, I had barely even talked to the beauty, as my stoic mask and formal upbringing would not allow me to admit my crush to her.

 

Nor would my pride.

 

Too many people though me untouchable, without emotion, almost cruel. That was completely wrong, but I did not bother to correct them. It kept the girl's who did not dress decently away from me and stopped people from bugging me.

 

I liked silence.

 

I also liked order, but when it came to that cobalt-eyed woman, orderly was the last thing you could call my mind. She sent my mind reeling in circles, and made it hard to concentrate on anything.

 

Not that I minded.

 

Said woman was currently walking ahead of me, towards the same high school I attended. She was a year younger than me, in grade 11.

 

This prospect worried me.

 

It was October, two days away from Halloween. This was not the origin of my displeasure, however. It was the fact that I was in grade 12, and this year was my last.

 

My university was across the country.

 

I would never see the enigma that was Kagome again, unless I took it upon myself to do something. However, even if my upbringing would allow it, there was still one more problem. A big one, which I could find no way around.

 

The woman I so wished was mine…was not.

 

She belonged to a person I had despised from the moment he came into being and breathed the same air that I did. A person that I had to live with, and that if I had the chance, I would leave him on an abandoned island to die.

 

My half-brother.

 

I most likely would have done that already, if I hadn't known it would displease my raven-haired enigma. Her happiness came first, whether or not it was with me.

 

But I wish it was.

 

She barely even knew I existed. All she knew of me was that I was that infuriating creature Inuyasha's older half-brother, who showed no emotion and was the top of his grade.

 

I sighed.

 

Oh, how I wished I could tell her how much I loved her. She was so attractive, on the inside and out. How I wish I could part her from my brother, and for her to be mine.

 

I stopped walking.

 

There was a way I could part them, although, I reflected sadly, it would cause Kagome sorrow. She was unaware of my brother's acquaintance with her older sister, who was in my grade.

 

In other words, he was cheating on her.

 

I shook my head and continued walking. I picked up my pace in order to be level with her, to reveal this bit of information. Although it was really none of my business, I wanted Kagome for myself.

 

And I always got what I wanted.

 

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

 

There he was.

 

The god. My boyfriend's brother. The person I had liked since I first laid eyes on him, six years ago. That was way back, and he had no idea of my crush at all.

 

Thank Kami.

 

He would most likely laugh, and I did not want that at all. Still, Sesshoumaru never laughed, he never showed any emotion, none.

 

Or so most people thought.

 

I knew differently though. I knew that his eyes widened minutely when he was surprised. I knew that he tapped his fingers when he was bored. And I also knew that he hated my boyfriend, no matter how he tried to cover it up.

 

You could just tell.

 

Why though, I had no idea. His hate seemed to increase for Inuyasha though, when he and I started dating, last year. Strange.

 

Perhaps he just didn't like seeing his brother happy.

 

I was so lost in thought, I never noticed him increasing his pace, in order to catch up with me. Or was it to catch up with Kikyou, who was in front of me? Most likely to catch up with her, I reflected, she was his age, had his intelligence, and was way prettier than me.

 

Everyone said so.

 

…Except him.

 

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

 

I walked beside her, surprised that despite her only coming up to about my chin, she kept the same pace as me. I inwardly smirked.

 

Perfect.

 

We walked in silence for a few moments, before I could contain it no longer, and told her exactly what I had come to say, getting straight to the point.

 

“Inuyasha is cheating on you.”

 

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

 

Ouch.

 

That hurt. Even though I knew about it, it still quite hurt, especially coming from him. The fact that he knew about it only made it worse. Oh well, this was no time to lie.

 

“I know.”

 

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

 

I was shocked.

 

She knew this whole time and never said anything? Wow. Then why did she stay with my brother? Did she have no self-respect?

 

I shook my head.

 

Of course she did. She was intelligent; it had actually surprised me when I thought she hadn't known about it. But why had she still been dating him? There was no reason for her to. She was not a gold-digger, they constantly got into arguments, and Inuyasha often told her she was stupid, which led to me beating the shit out of him for no apparent reason later.

 

Not that Kagome was to know about that.

 

Still this made absolutely no sense, and I wanted to know why she had not dumped him earlier. So I asked.

 

“Why?”

 

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

 

I knew exactly what he wanted to know.

 

He was curious as to why I had not dumped Inuyasha even though I knew about his cheating. Well, unfortunately I'm going to have to lie this time, because I could never tell him it was because it meant I was able to go over to his house with Inuyasha all the time and catch a glimpse of the god beside me when I did so.

 

No, I don't think that would go over well.

 

“I wanted him to admit it to me.”

 

Well, that wasn't a complete lie. It was true, I had confronted him on it many times, but he always either avoided the subject, or distracted my attention somehow.

 

Not today though.

 

I was going to break up with him today. It had to be done. Then I could finish my high school years, secretly in love with the god beside me, and then never see either of the brothers again once I left for university.

 

That was the plan.

 

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

 

That made sense.

 

She wanted my idiot of a brother to openly admit he was cheating on her, so that she could demand why, and then break up with him. She wanted to know why he had done such a cruel thing. It was lowering her self esteem to know that he even considered it.

 

“He has no honor that is why. You should ignore him, and accompany me to an All Hallows Eve party in two day's time.”

 

Oops.

 

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

 

What?

 

Did he just offer me advice, and ask me out on a date? Woot! That was like, a BIG thing for Sesshoumaru Taisho. Mainly because 1. He didn't care about anyone's affairs but his own and 2. He didn't ask girls out on dates unless they met his standards.

 

This was why no girl in our school had ever dated him.

 

But he asked me? Perhaps he made a mistake. But that couldn't be the reason; it didn't make sense that he would make a mistake.

 

Sesshoumaru never made a mistake.

 

Still, I had almost giggled when he had asked that. I loved the way he talked. So formal and sometimes so eighteenth century. I mean, literally,

 

Who calls Halloween `All Hallows Eve'?

 

Still, the urge to accept was just too great. It was multiplied by a hundred as well due to the crush I had on him. So, I did just what any other girl in my situation would do.

 

“Is that a command or a request?”

 

Ok, so ALMOST what any other girl would do.

 

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

 

“A request I hope you will comply with.”

 

I answered immediately, and mentally crossed my fingers, awaiting a response. I was practically dancing on pins and needles here, hoping to all the kami's I could think of that she would accept.

 

She did not disappoint me.

 

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

 

“I shall contemplate you request when I receive more details, my lord. Good day.”

 

I smiled at him wryly, and gave him a quick curtsy with my skirt. My crush inclined his head, and gave me a low bow, his six foot for frame bending almost in half. We were on the school grounds now, and I could see many jealous glares from other girls as he did so.

 

I blushed, but never-the-less turned on my heel once he straightened, a glint of amusement in his eyes, and rushed off inside, looking for my treacherous boyfriend.

 

“Inuyasha!”

 

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

 

A/N: Hmmm, interesting. Tell me what you think. I quite like it, but, of course, it is up to you if you wish for me to continue.
