I'm a Hazard
Chapter 2
Kagome-tsuki
Dedicated to my beloved Joel Robert Tauchin, my ex boyfriend I never got to say my final good bye to...
Have fun in college...
I'll always be sorry for what I did...
Why did no one know how she felt?
'How could he?' Kagome thought as she ran blindly through the halls, 'Even if he doesn't know... How could he say that to me? We are friends, right? No, I don't have any friends...' Her thoughts brought a small hiss from her lips and tears slipped down her pale face, streaking only a bit of the cover up make-up she wore. Why did it have to be her anyway? Was she some amusement for the Goddesses and Gods to laugh at? Or whatever
higher deity there was. She was just their sick amusement, her life was Hell, everything was messed up. Why not another girl?
She let out a sharp sob, she was a slut wasn't she? She had dated at least five teachers before coming here, each one had fucked her, some were soft, hard. A shudder ran down her spine as her feet set their own course. Her eyes trailed the ground, oblivious to where she was going. And she never saw it coming, that was the one last thing she would have expected. Not really.
She made impact with a strong body, she would have toppled back if comforting arms did not catch a hold around her small body. She stayed sobbing upon this person's chest, she didn't dare look up yet, she had no idea who it was either. She soon found her head being lifted, but no on her own accord, a hand had slipped under her chin. She looked at the person before her with tear soaked eyes, her vision slightly blurred. She knew who this was though, she was more sure than anything.
“Fluffy...?” she murmured her pet name for one of her old friends. Like Inuyasha, this person was her friend, and she had given them all nicknames or pet names really. Inuyasha was Puppy or Koinu, which often insulted him. And his brother's was Fluffy, far more offending than Inuyasha's.
She saw a smile crack on the delicate lips upon Fluffy's lips, it was him wasn't it? Tears spilled down in slow agonizing lines down her cheek, they weren't for her sorrow of the topic that had just past moments ago between and another one of her friends.
“Yes Kagome? Did you just transfer? Why do you cry...?” The tone was soft and caring, unlike Inuyasha's. Inuyasha always seemed cocky and arrogant.
She lightly puffed out her small bottom lip, in a small puppy pout, tears still falling down her cheeks. That brought a bigger smile to the man in from the man in front of her. She knew he remembered that look.
“Koinu, he called me a whore...” she whispered softly before looking away, she knew he was more than angry at his younger brother. Sesshomaru had always been protective of Kagome, as had Inuyasha, but that didn't really matter at the present.
“Are you? Kagome, you shouldn't feel bad about something unless it's--” Sesshomaru stopped in mid sentence, she had started to sob again and he let out a small growl, what happened to the sweet Kagome he knew? Something had happened to make her so different from what he remembered, “Kagome, come with me...”
Yes, she had broken down in front of Sesshomaru, he knew her secret now, she couldn't help it. She had badly wanted to hide that from everyone, she wanted a new start, but she could never get it here. She gave a small nod to his words of following him, she walked with her eyes on the ground as she walked beside him. She could see him from the corner of her eyes, and that was enough. She was too ashamed of herself to even look him straight in the face. She could always ask why, but she never would get an answer, she was just a joke. She didn't deserve to live, she didn't want to live. She glanced up, seeing him come to a stop at a classroom, so this was where he was teaching, wasn't he? Wait, teaching?
She saw the keys in his hands and paled slightly, he was a teacher. She hated teachers, she couldn't hate him though. He opened the door slowly, torturing her with thoughts of a few days ago, he went in first and then grabbed her by her arm and pulled her in the room. She let out a cry of protest, suddenly struggling out of a natural reaction and tears started to fall.
“I'm sorry.. I'm sorry....” she whispered as the door closed behind her and the hand still holding her arm. This was different though, arms wrapped around her, they were comforting and she sobbed her relief.
“Shush... Kagome, you don't need to cry, whatever happened will not happen again, I promise... I'll protect you.”
Kagome blinked a bit, looking up at Sesshomaru, her pale pink lips slightly quivering as tears were soon threatening, she never cried at school, she only cried at home when no one was awake. Crying showed weakness, and she never wanted to, but somehow, she wasn't able to stop when she was going to start. This was no different, she had started and kept going, and now she could not stop. She felt fingers run through her black locks in an attempt to comfort her, and she gave a small smile though it was replaced with a frown.
“My teachers... I dated my teachers Sesshomaru... They all fucked me, hard and hit me... They hit me like everyone else...” she whispered before hiding her face on his chest.
Sesshomaru gently moved her head and leaned his own forward, closer to hers now, “I will not hurt you Kagome, I am a teacher, but I will not hurt you...”
“Fluffy, no.. I can't.. Not another teacher, I don't--” She had started to speak, her complaint of dating a teacher, and warm lips took her own. It was nice, relaxing, soft. None of her other kisses were like this, they were all filled with hunger, want, need, and lust.
Within that soft moment, her cell started ringing and she quickly pulled away from the kiss, making a one minute gesture and she answered the phone.
“Oh... Hey... I don't know, why would I know?”
Sesshomaru watched in silence as Kagome began speaking on the phone, he wondered to who.
“No, I don't fucking know, all you did was fuck me... Damn it, no. I dumped your ass this morning...”
He studied her face, noting that she was trying hard to stand up for herself, but soon she paled.
“N-No... I'm sorry... Dear, it's... I don't know where it is... Please don't call me anymore..” With that, Kagome ended the call and hid her phone away, and arms wrapped around her.
“I'll keep that from happening again Kagome...” She heard Sesshomaru whisper, placing his lips upon hers again, and kept the kiss sweet and innocent.
'What am I doing...? I know he was my friend when I was little, I hardly know him now... I can't fight though, maybe he'll be different...'
He fucked up big time, calling Kagome a whore. That moment, he realized she had changed more than he had realized. He was an idiot, something bad must have happened for her to be crying like that, why else? She was submitting, from what he could tell from just bumping into her. She had changed for the worse, but he could say that she grew right. She had the best damn body of all the females in this school, even better than Kikyou. He snickered at her name, that girl had been after him since he was in Jr. High, and he always told her off, after the occasional dates with her.
If there were one thing to say about him, it'd have to be player. He had been with so many girls at once, never got caught with it until Miroku blabbed. Inuyasha had figured Sango would have at least said something to them, but, he was surprised that she had never opened her mouth about it. He knew he was also known for cheating, but that made him craved more by girls. They wanted to tame his wild dog and leash him up so he could only stay with one girl. He knew Kikyou would try her hardest to get him, more than any other girl. Though, she'd have to learn that it was his choice, not hers.
He let out a sigh, now heading down the hall that Kagome had ran through, he would have to inform him about Kagome's change, how she no longer was that spunky girl that used to be their leader. She had demanded attention and for them to follow her, and of they didn't, she had her ways to get them to. She had always been a crafty bitch.
It was language like that which got him in trouble with her, but he was as sure as Hell wasn't going to stop, he couldn't if he tried, honestly. Or he just didn't try hard enough, and he had no reason to stop. His brow furrowed as he entered the hall, there was no sign of Kagome at all. Where had she gotten herself? That girl was going to get herself hurt in his mind, she didn't know this school, the girls were ruthless to the new ones, they always saw the new ones as threats. Heck, most of the new girls never fit in, unless they had some family connections with another student. That's how it went, the groups went with who their family was connected to. Kagome had connections with his, so that was good enough to include her in their “group”, as far as everyone knew, she was already in the group. Their's had been of friendship far before, and that's how it had stayed.
He was relieved thinking of this, at least she wouldn't be a complete outcast, but seeing how things went earlier, she may not even want to go near them. 'Way to go Inuyasha, mess everything up for her on her first day...' No girl ever cried about that, unless. Unless they had been told they were for a long time, by people who she trusted. Her parents, they seemed like the only likely ones to be filling her head with that. Now, why were her parents saying that? He remembered them from when they were younger, they were always the nicest people he had ever met. What might have caused the change in them all?
He sighed and decided he'd talk to Sesshomaru how to apologize to her, he wanted her as a friend, heck, even more than a friend if he could get that lucky. But, she most likely hated him. He'd have to spend time with her, apologize, and learn more about this new Kagome. That was now a plan set in his head, Kagome would be his, and he'd give up being a player like he was, just for her.
A young girl walked up, okay, not that young. She was one of his little sweet hearts, now was the time to just let her off.
“Yume, I need to talk...”
“Why? Did I do something wrong? I can change, I promise!” She cried out, shocking Inuyasha, he honestly didn't expect that. But wasn't that the line people always used to break up?
“No, it's not you, it's got nothing to do with you. And since you already know, this is good bye.” He said simply and left the distraught girl behind, obviously shocked too much to even understand what he meant that it had nothing to do with her.
He really felt no regret for letting her go, what had he seen in her? Sure, she looked good, had almost everything a guy wanted, but she was too “bouncy” and that was something she could never change, and besides, Kagome just seemed to be the object of his desires. 'Hah, look at you Inuyasha, head over heels in one day. I was her friend, so why doesn't that mean I can't get to know her? I can ask her out too, but, what if she doesn't want me? Yeah right, everyone wants you Inuyasha. Well, it's not like me to be like this, just gotta keep the cool.'
What cool?
He made his way to the room, the window was tinted black so it was hard to see inside, but if he could have, he would have left right then and there. He pushed open the door, a look of deep contemplation upon his face, now normally, he never had such a look unless in class.
“Fluffy--”
There in front of him was Sesshomaru locked in a kiss with Kagome, a sweet yet hungry kiss on Sesshomaru's part. Inuyasha could tell Kagome was a bit reluctant of the kiss, but Sesshomaru was trying to work her into the kiss, get her to enjoy it. He felt his blood boiling, there had to be some reason that Kagome just ran into the arms of his brother and just locked lips with him. A low warning growl rose from his vocal cords making their way out loud enough to startle Kagome.
She snapped back into reality, she hadn't even noticed that she was kissing Sesshomaru, she had worked herself into a pickle. For the longest time she could remember as a child, she had a crush on Inuyasha, but he always made fun of her. Maybe they were not to be, she turned her head slightly, away from Sesshomaru. She felt lips lightly kiss her neck in a gentle touch of compassion; that was something she had not felt for awhile. The look of anger was enough to tell her that Inuyasha was jealous.
“K-Koinu... Fluffy?” She spoke moving away from Sesshomaru, suddenly torn between the two. Why did this have to happen?
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed on his brother, he was trying to help Kagome get used to him, he wanted her, but obviously his younger brother did as well. It was really up to Kagome more or less, he was trying to convince her to come to him though, he could see her inner conflict and his eyes had gone soft for only her. His brother still was glaring at him and he inwardly smirked. 'Let's see if you can still get Kagome with that face.. Will you stay loyal long enough for her if she chooses me?'
Inuyasha glared darkly at Sesshomaru, his amber colored eyes moving slowly to Kagome, her conflict was clearly written across her face and eyes. He took a tender step forward, showing her that he really did care for her, it was a look of longing that made him seem like a true puppy. That look melted her heart, but now, she was stuck. Inuyasha or Sesshomaru?
She closed her eyes for a moment, as if playing a game to pick whomever her thoughts landed on last. She gave a small sigh, finally giving up her useless attempt at trying to pick that way and opened her chocolate brown eyes that were now brimmed with tears of frustration.
“Sesshomaru, Fluffy, you're a teacher...” she started with much difficulty at finding her words, and she gazed into his eyes, “I can't, not.. Not again...”
She turned her face from Sesshomaru, her eyes now on Inuyasha and she gave a smile. Inuyasha was cheering with victory, he had finally beaten his brother. He had gotten the girl that he wanted, that his brother wanted, and he was not showing any remorse. Inuyasha's brow twitched, what was wrong with Sesshomaru? He showed nothing after losing Kagome, did he not want her?
Sesshomaru knew it wasn't going to last long, Kagome would come to him in tears, it'd be a few days at the most, but she would come to him.
For a few days it remained quiet, nothing happening to Kagome at school, but home was another story. Nothing was different at home, except for the fact that she wasn't allowed home until nine, Souta had friends over every day and they didn't want to seem like a horrid family. They kept her out, thinking that it was her fault it was so horrid, there was only one good thing about it all: She spent more time with Inuyasha and less time being bossed around by her little brother and family.
Things with Inuyasha were going smoothly, he cared for her, was interested in her and learning about her. He knew almost everything about her, except for the beatings and various other mistreatments at home. She liked him honestly, but they were not a couple, after that day with Sesshomaru, he just said he wanted to get and know her. That was fine to her, she liked this better so she would know him way better than any girl before she went out with him.
Sesshomaru as well knew as much as Inuyasha, she had to admit she didn't feel right, it was like she was seeing them both since she went places with them just as friends. She knew her guilt would eventually fall on her and she'd have to admit this.
Kagome had yet to meet Sango and Miroku, another pair of friends from her younger years, both were in another country studying harder there. She envied them, or they were fucking most of the time, Inuyasha had made that comment to her and she remembered distinctly giving him a glare.
She was currently traveling the halls, looking for Inuyasha, he had promised to take her out to lunch, and get her a gift, though she did insist that it was not needed. Kagome wore plain jeans, a dulled blue color and her shirt was red, the sleeves at her shoulders and lightly torn and old looking. It wasn't her fault she never got new clothes, she got her mother's old ones, or some people they didn't even know. She felt gross about the old worn clothes that she had, but at least she had something. Brown eyes scanned the scenery for Inuyasha, she moved from the hall to the Commons, where they ate, and spotted him in the courtyard. She frowned, wondering why he had come here.
She took a few steps forward, she was more confused than anything at the moment, she wasn't even as curious as confused. She soon took her slow pace to a light jog before she reached the window, she had arrived at the worst timing.
Brown eyes filled with tears, her breath caught in her throat and never wanting to leave. She shook her head, trying to tell herself that it was not true, what she was seeing was an illusion. She bewailed for never listening to Sesshomaru, from the open window that she never noticed her cry was carried to Inuyasha's ears. She was off though, running to Sesshomaru's office. 'It wasn't like we were official.. Or were we? Why does it hurt so much...?'
Inuyasha never had a chance, Kikyou had thrown herself all over him and forced him to kiss her. He had pulled away in time to her the cry of Kagome and when he turned his head, he saw her back and she was retreating to some place, most likely to Sesshomaru. But, they weren't together, they had just been going on dates and getting to know one another. One could say that was official, but what was really? He growled softly, clutching Kikyou by the shoulders, it was over for them; himself and Kagome that is. He would keep their friendship if he could salvage that much from her.
“Sure Kikyou, let's go out...” Kagome was cheating on him with Sesshomaru anyway, his brother had told him of his dates with Kagome. Inuyasha was oblivious to the fact that Kagome didn't know they were a couple at all.
Kagome rushed into Sesshomaru's office, more like slamming herself into the door before fumbling with the key that she was given. She heard the click and pulled the key from the door and pushed the door open with desperation and then slammed it shut behind her and locked it again. Why did she feel so bad? She felt like her heart was ripped from her chest. He said only her, just her and no other girl. That's why, he said that he was only going to be for her. She let out a small wail and moved to Sesshomaru's desk, opening the drawer she found an item of relief. She pulled it out and slit her arms open, as well as her wrist. She resisted the urge to scream, the feeling of her skin slicing under her hurt more when going fast. She felt the layers of skin break one by one, the sound in her head was of a slick slice of paper.
She started to hyperventilate out of her desperation again, she moved from the desk and watched as the blood began to pool into a large bead threatening to spill from her wrists. She let it spill, the blood suddenly rushing from the gashes and she gasped for air. She soon went into a daze, her eyes clouded with an unexplainable emotion and she lifted her arm to her mouth, her tongue lightly poking from her lips and running along the trailing blood. The taste was of metal, like a chain she once tasted, but not so much as it tasted a bit musky. She could never explain the taste.
She ran her tongue up to the cut and ran her tongue over that until the blood had vanished for only a second, the blood returned to her wrist and she soon dropped to the ground, a pool of blood had started to form already. Wrists were not the smartest place to cut, they bled most, and right now, she didn't care if she died of blood loss. She lost all feeling and closed her eyes as she moved herself into a laying position onto the cold tiled floor, blood pooling around her.
Inuyasha went to get Sesshomaru after telling Kikyou that he accepted her offer.
“Fluffy... Kagome and I broke up.. Have you seen her? Is she okay?” He started, once seeing Sesshomaru in the hall.
“No, but I'm sure she is fine, I gave her the key to my office if she needed anything or if she wanted time to herself...”
“Okay, you do know that she cuts... Right? When she is depressed, or so she told me, and I'm pretty sure she's upset...” Inuyasha said, his voice growing soft.
“No, you idiot! Why didn't you follow her?!” Sesshomaru hissed before taking into a run, followed by Inuyasha.
They got to the office in no time, one minute from the time Kagome had cut herself, which was not long enough for her to lose so much blood where she'd have to be in the hospital. Sesshomaru got out his key and opened the door, but he soon regretted doing that action. He regretted everything that he had allowed to happen in the past week.
Inuyasha stared in shock as Kagome lay on the ground, bloodied and still bleeding, she was crumpled up in an odd position of sitting and laying down.
“Leave!” Sesshomaru hissed at his brother, but he did not budge, “Leave now, you're the one who did this to her.”
“No, I am still her friend and I'm going to help her...”
Kagome awoke in a room, this room was not even close to one she had seen before. This room was dark black, the window had black curtains and everything seemed to be painted black. She was sitting on a king sized bed which had black sheets, she let out a small groan, feeling completely weak. 'That's right... I cut my wrists, didn't I?' She sat up, with much trouble, her wrists were weak and was she. She let out a small groan and collapsed back onto the bed. She was dizzy, she felt she had a fever and she felt like she was going to throw up.
The door cracked open and Sesshomaru entered, he smiled at her before walking over and sitting beside her and idly running fingers through her hair.
“You gave us quiet a scare Kag, I called your parents and let them know you'd be staying with me for a few days, they seemed more than relieved.”
Kagome gave a mental wince and smiled at Sesshomaru, “Who? I only see you Sesshomaru... Yeah, they don't like me home much, my brother is most likely having a friend sleep over, so that works out...” she whispered.
“Inuyasha and I, he still wants to be your friend, you should just keep him as a friend if nothing more...” he said, Inuyasha slipped into the room, a tray of food in his hands.
“Kagome, I'm sorry... I made you some soup, and here's some water to make you feel better... I really am, I swear it. I'll leave you two alone now...” That sentence was filled with so much hate to his brother, he always did win, didn't he?
Kagome smiled, saying nothing more and she hugged Sesshomaru when Inuyasha left them again, she received a small kiss on the top of her head.
“Eat up Kagome, and be sure to drink your water... I'll be back in later to get you out so you can do other things than just sleep here.” Sesshomaru said softly and he helped Kagome sit up so she didn't have to use her wrists to try and sit up. He placed the tray in front of Kagome, kissing her cheek again and then leaving her to herself.
'What have I done?'
