Flashback:
Then they hurried to their homeroom class, only for Ayame to stop outside the classroom and asked the same question she did every day, "Okay, now, explain to me why we just don't skip today? I could use a nap," she smirked.

The Scent
"And this is how..." the teacher was cut off with the sound of the school bells ring.
Kagome sighed, tired. She grabbed her books and stuffed them in her Messenger bag.
'Ugh... Thank god it's lunch. I don't think I could have taken much more of that,' Kagome thought.
"Hey Kags, wait for me... Geez," called out her friend Souten, a thunder demon, whom Kagome shared her last class with.
"I'm just wondering, Kags, could that teacher get any more boring?" Souten asked, with a tired sigh of her own.
Kagome smirked and answered, "You ask me that every day, and, every day, it's the same answer. Yes. You just have to wait till the next class. He proves it every time."
Both laughed at that comment, knowing how true it was. Kagome could feel the stares on herself and most likely on her friend as well. Which was surprising to Kagome, was Souten really dressed so strange in her Pink Froggy Vans Slip-Ons, Tripp Black and Purple stitch pants, Hearts are meant to be broken black tee, and adorning her head her red heart shaped sunglasses?
While walking down the hall, Kagome told Souten that she'd catch up with her and the rest of the group in the cafeteria. She just had to make a run to her locker and change the subjects of her books.
Nodding her head, Souten walked away with a wave.
When Kagome reached her locker, she put the books she currently had with her and took out the ones needed for the next round of hell. While making sure she grabbed all things for her next class, she felt a strong male demon standing right behind her. And that person just took a sniff at her hair...

Sesshoumaru was walking down the hallway with Yura clinging onto his arm, blabbering about something. He wasn't sure anymore, he stopped listening a while ago. Now that he thought about it, he had lost interest about the time she had opened her mouth to speak. Nothing very interesting seemed to ever come out of her mouth.
While about to pass by a hall labeled as the 'Freak Hall', the reason being that the ones that tended to occupy it were, well, labeled as 'Freaks' or 'Outcasts', he smelled the most alluring scent. A scent that called to his beast, beckoning him to find this delicious aroma of vanilla and calming waterfalls.
Sesshoumaru stilled his walking and looked down at Yura, who suddenly realized he had stopped. So she stopped her talking and looked up at him expectantly.
"Yura, continue on to the cafeteria, I will meet you there. This Sesshoumaru just remembered a matter he must take care of," he informed with his usual emotionless voice.
Yura nodded, kissed him, and started to walk away.
Sesshoumaru made his way to the hall that was usually avoided by people of his standing. This earned him a few looks on the way, as it was to be expected. After all, he was the Sesshoumaru Tashio. He could admit that he looked good today, then again, it was hard to find a day where he didn't, if there were any, which he doubted.
Wearing his old school, classic Van, denim blue jeans, and navy blue Abercrombie & Fitch muscle shirt, he always knew the looks would come. Not that you could tell much about his shirt from the back with his long flowing silver hair tied at the nape of his neck, still reaching his lower back.
When he reached his destination, he was quickly assaulted by the intoxicating scent that seemed to have himself, and his beast enamored. He made his way in fast strides to the occupant of this most intriguing scent. When he came in view of the occupant of the scent, he saw a pair of delicious long, silky looking legs, wearing a pair of combat bats and a black and white type of skirt.
He had to see more, so he approached the owner of the scent from behind to see a full head of ebony hair with green streaks spread through her hair in wisps. Her locks, he noted, ended right at her shoulder blades.
He saw her stiffen slightly as he took in a whiff of her luscious scent to smell that, yes, she was a demoness, an Inu, he noted. However, he smelled something he thought he shouldn't have, spiritual powers found in a miko.
Before realizing what he had seemed to let happen, he had his nose in her hair inhaling her scent, that wonderful scent.

Kagome whipped herself around to come face to face with the quarter back himself, Sesshoumaru, a dog demon lord, and one of the very elite's popular fakes.
'Why the hell was he sniffing my hair?! You'd think he'd be used to Yura's nasty scent by now that it doesn't bother him. But then again... it is Yura's scent and... What am I thinking...? Still... why mine? Doesn't he have others he can... huh... sniff?' Kagome thought wildly.
"What do you think you were doing?" Kagome asked, meeker than anticipated, but at least it was said.
"I was sniffing your scent," Sesshoumaru stated bluntly.
'Well, duh! But why was he? Why me? This isn't making any sense... Maybe I just need to breathe and calm myself down to deal with this. Yeah, that's it, I just need to breathe.' Kagome thought to herself, taking in a deep breath.
Sesshoumaru stood before her, amusement clearly showing in his eyes, watching her try to solve this situation in her head.
'Wow! What is that smell? It smells so crisp, like a light rain and solid like nature,' she noted.
'Mate... It's our mate's scent... his scent', her beast seemed to answer.
'Wait! What?! NO! This can't be happening. Nope, not happening. He can't be... Wait, that would partially explain why he was near me... but sniffing my hair that close... What was up with that?'
'Ask him.'
'Oh yeah. Ha!' Ending the argument, she decided to continue her conversation with the Tai-Youkai in front of her.
"Why were you sniffing my scent?" she asked, placing her hands on her hips, letting her messenger bag fall to her side.
"Because it was an intriguing scent."
"Okay... that part of demon nature, I understand, thank you. However, usually most demons regard someone's personal space. Sniffing where your nose is on someone's body or hair, in this case, is not usual practice. So, why were you in such close proximity to my person... Se... Su..."
'What's his name again?'
"Set... Suk..."
'Damn, I suck at names... Then again, I never thought I'd need it. So... technically, not my fault.'
"Sukum... huh..."
"Sesshoumaru," he finished for her.
'How dare this bitch not know my name?!' he thought angrily.
"Sesshoumaru," she repeated to finish her sentence completely.
'But then again it does sound wonderful coming out of her mouth. What would it sound like if she was screaming my name in pleasure?' he wondered.
Her voice brought him out of his dirty thoughts, something he didn't have often.
"Hello? Are you going to answer my question or not?" she asked, annoyed at the thought of being ignored.
"Ah, yes, this Sesshoumaru being in such close proximity was due to the fact that this Sesshoumaru was intrigued by something in your scent. How it is that a demoness could hold the scent of spiritual powers only a priestess would possess?" Sesshoumaru inquired eloquently.
"That would be because I'm a Miko Demoness. Are you satisfied now? You can leave, you don't have to speak to me any longer," Kagome told him briskly, then grabbed her messenger bag, shut her locker door and proceeded to the Cafeteria. No doubt her friends were wondering where she was.
Sesshoumaru elegantly raised an eyebrow at her display.
'How interesting,' he mused, 'most females wish to bask in this Sesshoumaru's presence, yet, she flees... How interesting...' Sesshoumaru thought to himself as his beast managed to reach his thoughts.
'Mate... Must have mate...'
'In due time... in due time.’ Sesshoumaru responded to pacify his beast while making his way to the cafeteria.

"Kaggie!" called Ayame when Kagome neared their lunch table with her sack lunch.
"Hey, people," Kagome greeted.
They all nodded in her direction.
"So, where the hell were you, Kaggie?" Souten asked.
"You stopped at your locker, but it never takes that long... I mean geez, what did you do... get sucked in?" Ayame joked.
Just as Kagome was about to answer, her reason for arriving so late at the table entered the cafeteria.
Kagome quickly said, "Hey, guys, how about we eat outside today near the tree? I'll explain why I was late. Because what happened to me... was not what I would call normal..."
"Sounds kinky. Come on, guys, I wanna hear this," grinned Sango, another one of Kagome's friends, as everyone gathered up their things and moved.
After everyone was situated outside, Sango looked at Kagome, wearing her classic heart print beanie with a white rocker note tank top, Tripp white and black plaid Capri’s, and Converse All Star low tops with hearts on them. "Well, Kagome, are you gonna tell us or are you actually about to make me wait?" Sango asked with a smirk on her face.
"Why, Sango. Me make you, the most impatient human I have ever met, wait? Nah... I don't want to hear the whining," Kagome replied with a smirk of her own.
Sango laughed, and then said, "Well, tell us already!"
"Alright already... Well, while I was at my locker..." Kagome began.
