InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Leaving ❯ Teachers ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter Two

There was a harsh buzzing coming from somewhere on her right. She turned and groaned, reaching out to shut off her alarm. She sat up, eyes still closed. She yawned and threw off the covers, swinging her legs over the edge of her bed. She'd had such a strange dream. After school today she'd have to go back to the Feudal Era. Inuyasha would probably yell at her for being late or something like that. She rubbed the grogginess from her eyes and stood, making her way to the bathroom. She walked down the hall, her feet padding against the wooden panels. Her little brother poked his head out of his room and watched his older sister walk tiredly down the hall.

"You're back already, onee-chan?"

She grunted her reply and stepped into the bathroom. It didn't take her long to shower and get ready for school. She made her way back to her room, a towel wrapped around her torso. She danced her way across the room to her stereo and turned it on. Music blasted from the speakers and she bobbed her head to the beat, looking for her uniform. She laid it out on her bed and turned back to her dresser. Pulling out her underwear, she lost herself in the music, singing with the lyrics. She threw her undergarments on her bed and started to dance and sing, using her hairbrush as a microphone. She didn't notice the man at the window. She didn't see the conflicted emotions that passed through his golden eyes.

He watched her dance around her room, a warm feeling bubbling up in his chest. He'd waited five hundred years for her… but he still couldn't have her. Not yet. He'd only realized it the night before when she fainted. She was still… completely pure. She hadn't been touched yet… not by… maybe he could do something about that. He growled possessively. He may not be able to rut with her like he remembered… for the time being anyway… but he could see her. He could touch her. He could kiss her.

"Mine." He whispered and he leapt down from the tree near her window and made his way to work.

Kagome finished dressing and hurried downstairs. She wanted to be on time for breakfast at school. Maybe she could visit her teachers and get a bit of tutoring before actual class. She was way behind. The final battle was near. Naraku only needed the last shard but they had yet to find out how to reach it. Kouga still had the two in his legs and Kohaku had that one that kept him alive. She sighed. When all the shards were collected, she'd have to take that one and Kohaku would die. Sango would be devastated but even she knew it had to be done. She pushed her thoughts aside and walked down the shine steps to the sidewalk.

"Souta! Come on, we don't want to be late." She waited as he quickly made his way toward her. They walked side by side on their way to school chatting away about unimportant things until Souta commented on her early return.

"Onee-chan? Why did you come back from the Feudal Era so early? You just left yesterday. Did Inuyasha do something stupid again?" She stopped, frozen to the ground. Last night had to have been a dream… right? She looked at her little brother and shrugged. They walked on in comfortable silence and she dropped Souta off at his school, making her way down the street to her own. Her mind was reeling. Last night hadn't been a dream. She looked at her wrist. Sure enough, that little white scar was there. She groaned. Why did these things happen to her? She made it to her school and joined her friends in the cafeteria. They chatted about the usual stuff and questioned her about her overprotective, arrogant, jerk of a boyfriend who wasn't her boyfriend. She blushed bringing her fingers to her lips. She'd forgotten about that kiss. It was so soft and sweet… and sad.

She sighed and stood up, leaving her giggling friends behind her. She still wanted to make it to tutoring and she only had about an hour until class started. She walked over to her first period class. At least she wouldn't be late if she were still talking to the teacher in that class. She made her way down the halls and stopped at her locker, grabbing her history books and stuffing them in her bag. She quickly walked to class and knocked. The halls were almost empty. Only a few teachers and students lounged around, waiting for classes to start. An almost inaudible "Enter" came from the closed door and she slid the door open and closed it behind her.

"Excuse me, sensei. I wanted to know if you could help me catch up in class. I seem to be falling a bit behind." She was taking her books out of her bag and hadn't glanced up at her teacher.

"Of course Kagome…" He walked toward her, putting down the papers he had been organizing.

"Thank you, sensei." It was strange that her teacher called her by her first name. She looked up and gasped. What the hell was he doing here! "Sesshoumaru! What are you doing here?" She dropped her books and groaned. She bent over and started to pick them up, doing anything to try and get her thoughts together.

"It's been five hundred years… I've missed you, koi."

Not good! She stood and walked to the other side of the desk, keeping something, anything, between them. This wasn't supposed to happen. "Where's my teacher, Sesshoumaru?"

He gave her a wicked grin. She stood up straight, startled. He'd never done that before. It scared her. She heard a low growl and snapped back to reality. He was crouching. Uh-oh! She made a dash for the door but he pounced, landing on top of her. "I am your teacher… for now anyway. I'm the substitute."

He was a teacher? No way! She tried to sit up but he growled again and she stayed still beneath him. "I need to know at where you are in the past. What just happened? You smelled like me last night so I thought it was time I show you I was here… unfortunately, you're not my mate yet."

"Mate! What do you mean `mate'?" She screeched. Things just kept getting weirder. How could she be Sesshoumaru's mate? They had only just kissed the night before.

"Tomorrow…"

"Shit! I have to meet you tonight!" Her eyes widened in disbelief. Did she just say that?

"What your language, bitch!" He growled low, the vibration in his chest soothing her.

"And you scold me for my language…"

"I did no such thing. I merely stated a fact." He stood, bringing her along with him. He pushed her up against the wall and nuzzled her neck. "I missed you…" He bit down lightly on the spot where he remembered her mark used to be. She gasped and squirmed against him.

"Student/teacher relationships are prohibited, Sesshoumaru. You should know that…" She gave a muffled moan, his lips teasing her neck, sucking gently on the sensitive skin.

"Oi, Sesshoumaru? You in here?"

Kagome gasped and Sesshoumaru quickly backed away from her.

Whoever just interrupted them, took a sharp intake of breath. "Kagome…"

She turned her head and only saw a blur of red leap at her. She landed on the floor again with an "Oomph!" He was squeezing the life out of her but she didn't complain. It was only Inuyasha. Except… he looked different. He had a concealment spell on him as well but she could see right through it. After two years of miko training with Kaede, this was simple. He still had his cute ears but he had the slashes on his face and wrists like Sesshoumaru. He kept hugging her though. He looked older too…

She gasped. This was future Inuyasha! She broke out into a fit of nervous giggles and Inuyasha stood up, pulling her up with him. He hugged her again and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Sesshoumaru growled low in warning but Inuyasha just snorted at him and hugged Kagome again.

"I haven't seen you for five hundred years, Kagome… You're exactly the same as I remember… except…" He looked at her neck and then at her eyes. He looked at Sesshoumaru. "It hasn't happened yet… Now I understand… Hey! We can change-"

"Shut up… I already thought about that." Sesshoumaru growled at Inuyasha again and pulled Kagome from him and back into his chest. "Mine. Leave." Inuyasha snarled at him but turned to leave, mumbling to himself about arrogant, selfish hogs.

The door closed, leaving them alone again. Kagome was confused. And it was certain that those two would probably never tell her what they were talking about. She had to ask though. "Sesshoumaru… can you-"

"No. We can't reveal information about the future. It may change things…" But he desperately wanted to change one thing. Something bad would happen to her. He had to prevent it. "Perhaps there are some things we should change though." He gave a low bark and Inuyasha popped his head back in the door in a matter of seconds.

"Wait, before you guys plan anything… Sesshoumaru, you're my history teacher…"
"Substitute." He said, correcting her.

"Excuse me, substitute history teacher. So who are you?"

Inuyasha grinned. "Sex Ed."

Kagome groaned. That was her class after lunch. And with her new substitute history teacher, she began to wonder if she would ever reach the cafeteria without being picked up. Another head popped into the room. It was a redhead with vibrant green eyes. He looked young. Somewhere in his teens but Kagome saw through his spell as well. His eyes perked up when he saw her.

"OKAA-SAN!!!" He stepped into the room and pulled in two people with him, closing the door behind him. A guy and a girl with a cat, both with black hair looked up. Kagome looked at them instantly recognizing them.

"KAGOME!!!" They shouted in unison.

Uh-Oh…

"Oomph!" She hit the floor again, the three people and a cat landing on her. The were hugging her and she heard a loud growl coming from her `mate.' They stood and once again, she was pulled up. She was snatched, an arm snaking around her waist and pulling her into a firm chest. Sesshoumaru. He was so damn protective of her. She made her own growl and turned around in his arms. "Hey, you're not the only one who hasn't seen me in five hundred years. C'mon, I want to see my friends." She whined and he growled at her again. He leaned down, whispering in her ear.

"They also haven't stayed celibate for five hundred years." She blushed and gulped. They did it… the big `it'. They had done it, according to Sesshoumaru. But she hadn't yet. "Back off… You only gave me my first kiss last night."

He groaned mentally. It was going to be a long couple of months. Inuyasha shifted uncomfortably. He remembered the night well. Kagome looked at him, bringing her fingers to her lips and then her cheek. He had kissed her too… but he scratched her all in the same night. Sesshoumaru caught the action and the glance. He snarled at his brother. "You! You're the reason she had the scratches on her face last night. And that was why your stench was on her lips too! You kissed her. You kissed my mate."

Uh-oh… Sesshoumaru in a jealous rage. Not good. He was already gathering the poison in his claws. She did the first thing that came to mind. She grabbed his head and kissed him… hard. His eyes widened at first and he growled, knowing she was just distracting him from killing his brother but returned her kiss, full force, dominating as his instincts told him.

How could she handle this man? He was so… eager. She whimpered into the kiss. He was too much at the moment. She wasn't ready for the kinds of feelings he stirred in her. She'd just gotten over Inuyasha and still not entirely. But Sesshoumaru was so… different. She wanted to push him away and pull him closer. She could only whimper and he pulled her closer to him. She just whimpered more. She pulled back, resting her forehead against his chest. "Too much… Please…" She whispered. He purred and the vibrations from his chest soothed her, making her relax in his embrace.

"Fine. I'll wait." She tugged at his sleeve and he looked down at her. She was waiting for something else. He mentally sighed. Why did he do these things for her? "And I won't kill Inuyasha."

She smiled at him and gave him a quick kiss, a blush forming on her cheeks. "Thank you…" She turned back to her friends. They were staring at her, stunned. Nobody had really gotten Sesshoumaru to do anything he didn't want to do. With a look and a kiss, she got exactly what she wanted. They were all thinking it, but Inuyasha said it.

"Dude, you're whipped." Miroku nodded in agreement and Sango shot him a warning glare. He gave her a sheepish grin and looked serious again, shaking his head to disagree with Inuyasha. He looked at him and snorted. "You're exactly the same way so shut up, bouzou."

Kagome gave him a stern glare. "Inuyasha…" He looked at her, disbelief in his eyes.

"You've got to be kid-"

"Osuwari!"

He hit the floor, cursing his luck. Five hundred years and those damn rosary beads still worked. How he missed the good old days when he would get `sat' everyday.

Kagome looked at Miroku, Sango, Shippou and Kirara. She understood why Shippou and Kirara were still alive but… The two seemed to know what she was thinking. They looked at Sesshoumaru and he shook his head. They shrugged.

"Sorry, Kag. You'll just have to wait it out and see what happens. We can't change the past." Shippou stepped up and gave his surrogate mother a big hug.

"Kagome-okaa-san… I thought I'd never see you again… I missed you so much." Tears welled in her eyes and she returned the hug.

"You're all grown up… I hope you were raised proper. I will not have a brute for a son." She gave him a sad smile. She missed his whole childhood. "I'm a bad mother… I wasn't there for you, forgive me."

He hugged her, trying his best to reassure her. "You may not have been there to see it all, but you never left me. I promise. You're the best mom I could ask for." She bit her lip to keep from crying.

"Thank you, Shippou." She hugged the son who was now taller than her. He wore glasses too! "You're so handsome…" She ruffled his hair and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Mom…" He blushed and looked down at the floor.

Inuyasha snorted. "You'll just inflate his ego, Kagome. You should see how the girls look at him now. He'll always be a brat, though." He knocked the kit on the head.

"Osuwari!"

BAM! He cursed again and waited until the spell wore off. He really didn't miss the old days that much anymore.

Kagome looked at the rest of them, wondering why they were all here as well. They couldn't all be teachers. She giggled nervously. They got her message.

Miroku lifted his hand. "Phys. Ed."

Sango came next. "Math."

Then Shippou. "Literature."

She gaped at them. They were all on her schedule. She groaned.

"And I teach Science." She looked up at the foreign voice. It was so familiar. Smokey blue met bright blue. She mentally cursed her luck.

"Kouga-kun!" Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha both growled. Evidently, they still hadn't gotten used to the `kun'. She looked at the clock. Class would start in another fifteen minutes. "Damn it!"

Sesshoumaru growled at her in warning. "Language…"

She growled back at him, surprising the rest of the group. Inuyasha broke out into a small grin. "Totally whipped."

"Osuwari."

"GAH! SHIT!" He cursed, waiting until the spell wore off again.

"Language, Inuyasha." Kagome giggled. Five hundred years and he still hadn't changed. Even his style of dress was the same. He wore loose black dress pants and a silky, blood red button up. There was a tie, loosely fastened around his neck, also black. It matched his hair. He had his spell back up. He was in human form but she had a feeling that he wasn't human anymore.

"Keh!" He stood and made his way out the door dragging Kouga out behind him.

"Let me go, dog shit!"

"Shut the hell up, wimpy wolf!" Their bantering continued down the hall. Kagome smiled. They would never change. She looked at the remainder of the group and watched as Miroku and Sango left next.

"So, Sango… maybe you want to watch a movie together later tonight…"

"Eep!"

Smack!

"Hentai!" Her footsteps echoed as she stormed down the corridor.

"So… about that movie?"

Kagome giggled as their bantering also died down in the halls. This was going to be an interesting day. Shippou and Kirara left next. He gave her a kiss on the cheek and Kirara nudged against her leg. Even her true form was hidden beneath a spell. She picked her up and scratched behind her ears. "I could never forget you Kirara. Don't tell me you teach too?" Kirara jumped from her arms and hopped onto Shippou's shoulder.

"She helps me in class. She tells me who's not paying attention. So when I ask a question, I can ask those who weren't and then give them extra work. It's why I'm such a good teacher. I'd be lost without her. I'll see you in class, Okaa-san." He turned to go when Kagome stopped him.

"Shippou-chan, you know you can't call me that in class."

He grinned sheepishly. "I'll have to remember that." He turned and walked quietly down the hall, a group of teenage girls following him.

She smiled. He grew up so fast. She sighed and turned back to her `mate'. He was at his desk, shuffling papers. He never seemed to be the teacher type. She set her books on the desk near a window and looked out, watching the trees sway in the gentle breeze. Fall was approaching rapidly. She didn't even know how fast the summer had gone by. The battle drew near. Then what? When and if she defeated Naraku, what would happen to her and her friends? They said they'd waited five hundred years. Why did she have to leave them? Why couldn't she stay? An arm snaked around her waist and drew her close. He sensed her sadness and fear. It unnerved him to no end. He knew what she was thinking about. He leaned down and gently nibbled on her ear.

"You're here now… We survived five hundred years of waiting for you… and I'm still waiting." She turned and looked at him. He was being so sincere.

"You're so different…" She sighed and buried her head in his chest, inhaling his scent. "You smell good…"

A purr vibrated in his chest and she snuggled deeper into his embrace. He missed the moments like these when they were alone. He closed his eyes and lost himself in her scent. She was like a drug. She intoxicated him and made him want her. He'd wait for her as long as it took.

The bell rang, startling them from the comforting hold. He gave her a soft, lingering kiss and stepped back, walking to his desk.

"Please take your seat, Higurashi-san."
