InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Life As It Is... ❯ The First Session ( Chapter 3 )

Life as it is…

-Chapter 3 - The First Session

 

 

I walked out of the office in my robot mode, and my jaw still hanging. The principal gave each of us a sign sheet, to prove that we did our tutor session. Apparently, someone had to be a witness, and sign it. He never did say that the witness had to watch us the whole 2 hours, which was a relief in my head.

 

I looked at InuYasha, and he didn't even seem to notice I was alive, nor walking beside him. I guess I was the one who had to start the conversation and see where we were going to study tonight.

 

“Umm… so… any ideas on a place we can study?” I asked quietly.

 

He flinched, as if forgetting I was even there, and for some reason that made my heart clench. Did he despise me that much? I looked down at my feet and continued walking beside him. He finally replied, at what seemed to be an eternity later.

 

“Umm, I guess we can go to my house, and my older brother can sign it, if he's not in one of his asshole moods that is.”

 

“Oh, ok.”

 

He rest of the walk to the school parking lot was done is silence, until that beautiful red care came into view. It was just as gorgeous as when I last saw it 3 days previously. InuYasha must've seen the smile on my face and the glint in my eyes from eyeing his car.

 

“Yeah, it was an 18th birthday present from my dad.”

 

I looked at him and he had a smug grin on his face. “It's awesome.” He looked away, and I raised an eyebrow, “something wrong?” I asked innocently.

----- InuYasha POV

 

“N-no, nothing. Get in.”

 

Her smile was contagious and when she looked at me like that, I couldn't help but blush and look away before she noticed what kind of affect she had on me. I was shocked at what had just happened minutes ago. I was to be within the presence of this goddess 3 times a week, for 2 hours, alone. I was excited and yet pissed at the same time. My feelings were confusing me. I had no problem tutoring her, but it seemed so much more fun just to tease and torment her, not to mention piss her off until her cheeks became rosy and those eyes of her flared and swirled with too many emotions to start naming.

 

I grinned smugly and hopped into the drivers' seat next to her. If it was later at night, I would've dared to drive faster, and see her “eep” and squirm in her seat. The thought of her facial expressions and squirming made something wake up.

 

“Oh shit,” I whispered and blushed and placed my back pack on my lap to keep her from noticing.

 

“Did you say something?” she looked at me with those innocent eyes.

 

I looked forward and felt that same thing grow stiffer, I coughed while I blushed and replied, “No, well… we're off.” With that, I zoomed down the street, respecting the speed limit for once.

-----

 

We arrived at my house 15 minutes later. I parked in my usually spot in our driveway, but this time my brother's car was there, it was a powdered blue color and more conservative and feminine than mine. I caught Kagome glancing at the house to our left, and I could feel the sadness emitting from her. She then quickly looked away and towards me and smiled, as though the scene never happened. Her smile made my heart leap, but somehow, it seemed strained.

 

With her bag over one shoulder, she followed me into the house.

 

“Sesshomaru! You here!?” I yelled.

 

I could hear him sigh and yell back, “What do you want?”

 

I looked over my shoulder and spotted Kagome taking in the house with her mouth slightly agape. I smirked at her reaction. My dad had a classical taste in furniture and art, so naturally the house was well decorated with antiquities.

 

“I need you to sign something for me.” I turned around and looked at her again, she was still mesmerized. “You can come in, you know?”

 

She blushed and murmured a sorry and slipped her shoes off then followed me towards the staircase.

 

My brother came towards us from the left, which is where the kitchen is. He had the same long silvery hair like me, but with more of a bluish tint. He also looked more feminine than I did. He always had the same annoyed look on his face; it was very rare that he'd crack a smile. I'm actually kind of scared if he tried, I think his face might shatter just from the effort of trying to change it.

 

“I need you to sign this,” I handed him the sheet I had in my hand.

 

He eyed the paper, and then he looked at Kagome. “What's it for?” he asked suspiciously.

 

“I'm her tutor, and we need someone to sign it as proof of the tutoring sessions are actually in… well… session,” I said this all really quickly, wanting to get away from him as fast as possible.

 

He eyed the paper, then me, then back to the paper, then Kagome and then back to the paper. This was all very frustrating and I bet he was loving every passing moment of it. He finally agreed to sign it, and we made our way upstairs to my room.

 

 

----- Kagome POV

 

 

I slowly followed InuYasha up the stairs to his room. The inside was just as expected and more from the looks outside. I looked around, my head nearly spinning from there being too much to look at all at once. Whoever decorated this place had a very unique style and loved beautiful old things. Most of the antiques took my breath away.

 

I then bumped into something solid and looked up and caught InuYasha's burning eyes with my own. I felt my face begin to burn as I gazed up at him, and it didn't help that a felt his well chiseled body against my own. I gulped and he quickly turned away, but all I could see were those piercing golden eyes.

 

“In here,” he said. He opened the door, and I gasped at the sight that was held before me. The room was huge. It was practically the same size of the whole basement of my dad's new place. Crimson red curtains hung from the two enormous windows, which matched the crimson red carpet. The walls were a darker shade of red that matched, what looked like, silk sheets and pillows. The room was just too beautiful to behold. Even though the color was feminine, nothing about this room was.

 

I looked at InuYasha as he scratched the back of his head as he scanned his room.

 

“Well, we can either do this on the floor or the bed.”

 

I blushed at how he said it. How it came out of his mouth, it was so intimate and made me shiver. I swallowed and took the safe root, “T-t-the floor seems c-comfy enough,” I smiled weakly trying to conceal my blush.

 

He looked at me with a raised eyebrow and shrugged his shoulders, “The floor it is.” He walked towards his bed and started throwing the pillows on the floor, I guess to make it more comfortable. He then looked up at me and rolled his eyes, “Again, you can come in, the room won't bite you.”

 

I felt my cheeks tinge again and quickly moved from my spot in the doorway. I could feel the tension between us as the silence stirred. I looked every which way but at his face, it was too awkward, we barely knew each other and a twist of faith threw us together.

I suddenly snapped my attention at his when he cleared his throat.

 

“So…” he looked deeply uncomfortable standing next to the cushions on the floor, “do you want a drink before we start?”

 

His question caught me off-guard; he was actually being polite and not his usual asshole-smug self.

 

His eyebrows knitted together as he grew inpatient for my answer, “Well?” he growled, which again startled me, “Do you want anything?”

 

Well, that only lasted a second, I knew it was too good to be true, I sighed, “Yes please.”

 

With that, he left and yelled behind his, “Get your crap together, I wannna get this over with as quickly as possible.”

 

I glared at the door and whispered to myself, “asshole” and went to get my books together, and spread them out neatly on the floor. I then took a seat on one of the many pillowed he littered the floor with and began marking pages and problems I was having trouble with solving or understanding. By the time he returned, nearly half of my book had little post-its, saying what page and problem I was having difficulties with.

 

He placed the can of Coke beside me and looked at what used to be my text book, and now a container for post-its.

 

The tension between us began to bloom once more as the silence stretched while he examined the book marked pages.

 

Finally, he broke the silence with a sigh, “Fuck, you really are a dumb bitch, aren't you?”

 

I glared at him as I clenched the material of my pants, and ground out, “What?”

 

“These are simple problems, most of the just algebra, how can you not get this kind of stuff?” he answered not even looking at me.

 

What an insignificant prick! I can't believe what an asshole he's being. I looked at him, with his smug looking face that I felt like punching as he viewed the rest of the pages, sighing and shaking his head as he flipped away.

 

I don't understand how one guy can be able to make me so mad in the matter of two meetings that don't even sum up to 10 minutes.

 

“Well,” I snapped out of my thoughts and glared at him as he put my text book down. “It looks like I'm going to have to start from scratch with you.” He looked up at me, and that smug smirk came back as he saw me glaring, “This is going to be a fun two hours.”

-----1 hour 30 minutes later

 

 

“I don't get it,” I screamed at his for the hundredth time.

 

InuYasha looked like he was on the verge of pulling his hair out as he screamed right back at me, “What is there NOT to get, you can't add the same families together!!”

 

“And why not,” I yelled right back.

 

“Because, that's how it is!! You can't change it.”

 

I pouted finally giving up, “Then what am I suppose to do?”

 

-----InuYasha POV

 

 

I sighed and shook my head as I began explaining all over again, for what seemed to me like the hundredth time. This girl had a short attention span and would find something like the carpet more interesting.

 

I didn't mind the yelling and screaming matches though. She was so fun to torment. She was also very fiery and determined, she never backed down. I didn't notice I was staring until she cried out.

 

“I got it!” She smiled and looked up at me.

 

I took her work sheet I made her and looked over the first problem that she'd been trying to solve the last hour and a half. My eyes widened as a continued and couldn't help but smile. She actually got it.

 

She looked at me seriously, “Did I get it right?”

 

I nodded, “Yup, all right.”

 

She squealed and tackled me down to the pillows and hugged me saying thank you over and over again. My eyes widened at the situation we were in, but she didn't notice yet.

 

My arms loosely held her in place, while her arms were tightly wrapped around my neck as she laid on top of my body. Her shirt had slipped up a it due to her excited tackle and I could feel her soft skin again my hand. I felt my face begin to tinge as she leaned back to look down on me, still obliviously to our position.

 

I felt my body begin to move on it's own accord and she stopped laughing and noticed how we were.

 

 

----- Kagome POV

 

 

I looked down at InuYasha smiling. I haven't been able to solve that problem since the beginning of the school year. He was actually a good teacher and I understood what he meant when he calmly re-explained to me what to do over and over again. I was so excited, I did what I usually do when I'm happy with my friends, but then it dawned on me. InuYasha wasn't a friend. InuYasha wasn't a girl either.

 

I felt my smile melt away as the situation and the position we were in came into play. I felt his eyes bored into mine and swirl. His hand slowly moved up across my back against my bare skin and I shivered at the feel.

 

I started to panic. My body wasn't listening to my brain as it shouted to get off! Move! Do something! All it did was stay put, having a mind of its own.

 

My body became aware of every little move he made. Ever breath he took, I felt.

I suddenly noticed that I was getting closer to his tantalizing lips. It was him, though who was moving slowly closer to mine. I unconsciously licked my lips and was mere centimeters away when.

“InuYasha, dad came home and he wants to kn—“

 

I took a breath in and felt my face burn and jumped up off of InuYasha as if he burned me.

 

I saw Sesshomaru standing at the door, he facial expression hadn't changed, but his eyes said different. He slowly backed away out of the room and said, “Never mind,” before closing the door.

 

The tension was back. The silence between us was unbearable until I finally started gathering my books and packing them again. “I should go”

 

He got up and walked towards the door, not saying a word. Was he angry with me? Oh, I'm so stupid! How could I lose control so easily? All these thoughts and more flew threw my head as I followed him downstairs and out the door.

 

The drive was in silence, and I couldn't bring myself too look at him, and I hoped that he didn't think it was me who was mad at him, he didn't do anything. I sighed.

 

“Where do you live?”

 

“Huh?” I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at him carefully. He wasn't looking at me, but keeping his eyes on the road. With the facial expression he wore now, I didn't know if he was angry or thinking.

 

“Where do you live?” he repeated still not looking at me, “I have to drive me home.”

 

I blushed lightly, “It's really unnecessary, you can just drop me off at school, I walk home from there.” He looked at me, his eyes stirring with such emotions that I couldn't read. I swallowed, “I live on 333, Sunset Shrine Avenue.”

 

He nodded, and again, the car was in a deafening silence until he pulled up in my drive way.

 

I didn't want us to go our separate ways on such awkward terms, he was a good tutor. It would be a shame to lose him now. I got out of the car and turned towards him and smiled, “So, I guess I'll see you Wednesday.”

 

He grunted and sped off.

 

I sighed and walked into my house.

 

“Kagome, is that you? Why are you home so late?”

 

I walked into the kitchen and smiled at my mom, “I finally got my tutor.”

 

“She turned around away from the stove and smiled at me, “Well, that's good. Sango and Ayame called for you, they want you to call them back.”

 

“Ok” I walked out of the kitchen and began my way upstairs to my little room.

 

“Oh, and supper will be ready in 5 minutes”

 

“Ok”

 

I sighed and dropped my school back next to my desk and flopped down on my bed. I worried. I worried that InuYasha was mad at me when we started making progress, well, if you want to call us yelling at each other progress. We've always been, or rather, were, like that. Always yelling and fighting, seeing who could get the last word in. I couldn't help but giggle when he was 10 and I made a witty come back, leaving him opening and closing his mouth like a fish out of water. I sighed again and turned around to lie on my back and stare at the ceiling. What ever happened to us? Well, I know what happened, by why did it happen?

 

“Kagome, suppers ready!”

 

“Coming”

 

I'll guess I'll just have to leave these thoughts for another day…

 

 

----- InuYasha POV

 

 

“Damn Sesshomaru,” I quietly said to myself as I drove away from Kagome. “Walking in, on that.” I growled at the thought.

 

She was so close, and so warm. She smelled faintly of citrus and flowers, probably her shampoo. I sighed, and “just when I had the opportunity to… to…” I sighed as I pictured her lips slowly inching closer and closer.

 

I slammed my car door and walked into the house and swore under my breath as I walked into the kitchen to have supper. The kitchen table was big for their only being three people in this house, all men. I looked over at my father, he was cheerfully serving our food. You could start seeing the years on his face as wrinkles started to show, but only in the corner of his eyes, there when he smiled. He was in his early forties and had the same silvery white hair as me and my brother, except his was tidier and tied back in a ponytail.

 

My father was and still is a hard worker. He began the company he works at from scratch, and brought it to where it is today. It was one of the most productive companies in the country, and my dad is the president of course. That's where he met Sesshomaru's mother, and mine as well…

 

Mom….

“So InuYasha, I hear you're tutoring someone at your school now.”

 

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up and my dad to the left of me. “Uh… Yeah I am.”

 

“And, is there a reason why you are?” he ask curiously.

 

“Because the principal is making me,“ I explained while I played with the food in my plate with the fork in my hand, “because, apparently, in the senior class I'm the one with the highest grades in math.”

 

My father looked at me and smiled, “Well, that's great it looks like your going to be following in my footsteps and working alongside Sesshomaru one day in our company.”

 

My dad always talks about this, how I have to work at the company and uphold the family inheritance next to Sesshomaru. Personally, I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I want to help people in some way in whatever I do, because I wasn't able to help her, I want to at least help others.

 

“So who is it that you're tutoring?” he asked.

 

“A girl.”

 

I glared at Sesshomaru, and then looked at my dad. The look on his face right there, really kind of creeped me out.

 

“Oh really, a girl eh? Is she pretty? Will you marry her? I want at least 3 grandchildren and…”

 

And there my dad went. My eye started twitching. Marriage? Children? Fuck I'm still in high school. Aren't moms supposed to react like this, all mushy and stuff. I glared at Sesshomaru again when I heard a chuckle escape his lips. I growled and stuffed the food down my mouth, making a little mess and left the table without saying a word.

 

Damn that Sesshomaru and that big mouth of his. He just had to go running to daddy to squeal on me, as usual. That fuckin' asshole, why is he still living here anyway? He's twenty years old and is making a good amount of money from working at the company with dad, so why is he still here everyday tormenting me and making my life a living hell.

 

And then, he had to walk in on that scene and ruin the whole moment. I walked into my room and slammed the door shut, “fucker,” I whispered under my breath and went to my home work, which was still sitting on the floor next to companies work book.

 

Wait? Kagome's work book? “What's that doing here?”

 

I picked up the green and black note book and opened it, yup it was Kagome's. I flipped through it until the last page and looked at what was there.

 

“Uh oh, I guess she won't be having her homework done for tomorrow,” I smirked, “I guess that means she'll be just stuck with me longer.” I suddenly had a sinking feeling in my gut, “Well, I'll wait for her before her class tomorrow, “ I looked at the cover and found the room number and period she had it.

 

“Tomorrow then.”
