[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Note:

Okay first of all I just want to throw it out there that sadly I in no way shape or form own Inu Yasha or any of the characters. And for any of you who think “me spell good” its all lies!!! Its all thanks to my wonderful friends Shoroie & Rami for there mad editing skills that your not pulling your hair out so be thankful to them! I hope you enjoy!

Jaded is an ugly word but now days, who isn’t a little. High school was hell but whose wasn’t? Don’t get me wrong, I’m aware there were those, oh so lucky few, who have had an awesome experiences and I’m not too proud to admit I’m slightly jealous of them. However, what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger or in this case…. Jaded.

Collage, on the other hand, was a whole new battle field or so I hoped. I sent out my collage application letters to the University of California in San Diego, Shikon Tama University, Harvard University, Yale University, and Stanford University along with a whole random other semi-good psychology schools. Okay, so maybe those last three on the list where a pipe dream but boy, what a pipe dream it was!

I already knew which school I was going to end up going to. Not only was Shikon Tama University the next couple towns over from my dear sweet home town, but it also was the one offering me a full academic scholarship. Also the biggest plus of them all, who can argue with being able to go to attend the same school as your best friend? However, with every little car beep she sent my way trying to hurry me out of my home so we could head to the collage and check things out was going to end in homicide.

“Kagome Higurashi! I swear if you don’t move your butt and make Sango stop honking, I’m going to end both of your lives!” Aunt Kaede yelled from down the stairs. “And I really don‘t want to have to explain to Karen why I killed her daughter.”

Laughing, I jumped down the last couple of steps to the hard wooden floor “We are on similar dark paths, my master!” I shouted as I grabbed my purse under the slumbering, fat tabby. “Diet,” I silently mouthed to Buyo, who in return, lazily opened his eyes and glared at me. Quickly, I ran up to my aunt giving her a quick peck on the cheek before dashing out the house towards Sango’s Subaru outback. As I buckled myself in I could see her eyes slightly bugging as we pulled away from my house.

“Damn it, Kagome! We were suppose to leave at nine O’clock not nine-fifteen!” she growled between her clenched teeth.

“I’m sowwy, Sanggi,” I whined with my best puppy dog eyes.

“I hate you.”

My smile widened, “Awww, why I hate you, too, sweet heart,” I leaned over and kissed her on the cheek before settling back into my seat and checking my cell phone so it would stop vibrating.

“I can‘t believe I‘m stuck with you for another four or so years,” she growled as she looked at me from the corner of her eye. “Who texted you?”

“Oh, it’s Jak saying we’re suppose to meet him at the campus instead of his apartment because he had business he had to take care of,” I replied as I chewed on my bottom lip. “He says, Inu Yasha’s going to be there, too but he promises to be on his best behavior.”

She snickered, “Yah right. How many summers ago has that baka Inu been coming to spend the summer with Jakotsu and when has he ever ‘behaved?’ I mean, I know his family has some money but that doesn’t excuse how he treats you and so help me, if he calls you wench one more time….”

“Let me guess,” I said interrupting her train of thought, “Pow! Right in the kisser!” I wiggled my eyebrow, “or perhaps straight to the moon?”

“Exactly.”

The rest of the car ride was filled with silence as Sango drove and I texted various people including both Jak and Inu Yasha who had yet to respond to me. The asses. My eyes lifted from my cell to the large sign that read, “Welcome to Crescent Falls.” As we slowly drove through the town following the signs leading to the prestige’s Shikon Tama University, I mumbled to myself as I watch the expensive looking houses we passed by them, “Sango, I don‘t think where in Sunnydale, anymore.”

“Only took us 30 minutes.” Sango said proudly as we pulled into an open parking space.

“Yes, as you speeding the whole way hear ya psycho”

“Oh, whatever. Where are we suppose to meet our dear queen?”

“Um, I think the cafeteria is what he said last night.”

She linked her arm with mine and pointed to the sky with the other, “To the cafeteria, Jeeves!” As we slowly started our journey to find the damn cafeteria, we took in the beautiful surroundings before completely, by accident, stumbled into the very place they where searching for. Slowly, I ran my eyes over the large open space that could easily fit my house into until a glint of silver colored hair caught my attention. Snugly tucked into a alcove in the wall of the cafeteria. ‘Oh, Inu Yasha. You make this too easy for me’ I thought smugly to myself as I detached myself from Sango and quickly snuck up on him before reaching from behind him and covering his eye’s with my hands and whispering into his elf-like ear. ‘Wait. elf like ear?’ my mind screamed.

Sesshomaru’s POV

I sighed to myself, which was something I would never allow people to bare witness. However, even though most women, in this school, already know to stay away from me even if they didn’t realize it they were smart enough to keep their distance. However, there was still a large amount of females, who just insisted on testing my patience. Finally, I had been able to loose the hoard. I slightly stiffened as I felt someone creeping up from behind me. I took a tentative sniff and found the person to be obviously female. “Fantastic,” I said in a low enough growl that a ningen ear wouldn’t be able to pick it up. I thought I’d finally escaped those vile creatures trying to rape me.

On second sniff I noticed it wasn’t a scent I had scented before which was rare because I made it a point to memorize them all. ‘She must be a freshman,’ I thought to myself as I felt her press her chest into my back as her hands moved to cover my eyes while moving her mouth to my ear. She whispered, “You‘ve been a bad puppy don‘t you know its only polite to return text messages? You ass.” I could feel her body stiffen as soon as the words left her mouth. ‘She smells delicious.’ Even with the smell of fear creeping into her scent I could still smell her light cherry blossom fragrance mixed with the scent of fresh rain. One word floated to mind ‘enticing.’

I raked my eyes slowly over her form. She was 5’5 maybe with a small curvy frame. Her hair was a deep black which shone blue in the light and waive which came down to the middle of her back. Her eye’s where light brown which, as I looked into them, seemed to be changing into hazel and green. She was defiantly what would be considered attractive, in at least, ningen terms. Unlike most people, she knew how to dress. Her shirt was form fitting without being too tight. Which could also be said for the pants she was wearing, they weren’t low enough to give a passing stranger enough view of what kind of underwear she was wearing. Shaking my head, I tried to clear my mind, ‘I better put a end to her female ningen lust over me before I end up with, yet, another stalker. However, maybe, spending a night of undeniable passion together wouldn’t be so bad,’ I thought cockily.

Kagome’s POV

‘Shit, shit and more shit’ I screamed in my mind over and over. I quickly removed my hands from his eyes and stepped away from the stranger I had just attacked and gasped. I felt a clawed hand grab my wrist and gasped as the person turned to have his sun kissed, golden eyes lock onto me. He had long silver hair like Inu Yasha’s even though the full demon‘s hair was bone straight. Along with the fact, he had demonic markings on his face as where Inu Yasha only had his puppy dog ears which adorned the top of his head.

“I‘m sorry!” I really don’t know what made me more nervous the fact his face was emotionless as stone or the intensity of his eyes. “I‘m so sorry! I thought you were someone else,” I blurted out, feeling my whole face become red.

“That’s alright. I am someone else,” his deep masculine voice responded. “And I would hope that there isn’t going to be a student, attending this school, randomly go attaching themselves to complete strangers,” his eye’s slightly shimmered with something that was almost…amusement.

My heart stopped. That ass was making fun of me. “You’re making fun of me,” I said quietly as my eyes narrowed into a glare.

“What if I am? What would you have to complain about?” he took the thumb of his hand that was holding my wrist and rubbed small circles into the pulse of my wrist all the while still holding the same, emotionless expression. “You should be honored, ningen. Usually, I wouldn’t even allow something, as disgusting as you, to touch me let alone have the honor of being touched by me.”

There was a slow and steady fire building in side of me. I could feel it starting to turn into rage. “Let go of me, please.”

“Why Tashio, my man! Playing with a new toy?” one male asked as his two lackies lurked behind him, chuckling.

“Not really,” was the silver haired ass’ only reply. He still had yet to let go of my wrist. “Is there something you want, Koga?” he asked while looking at him with a bored expression.

“Aww, don’t be like that, Sesshomaru. I just wanted to come over and meet your lady friend is all,” The male, who was known as Koga, took a sniff of the air before smiling. “She smelt so good I could smell her across the room.”

Panic flickered through my mind as Koga’s eyes raked over my form and seemed to be amused at my predicament. Taking a large breath, slowed my breathing, I was going over the options in my mind. Sango was going to be pissed at me.

“SANGO, I WANT YOU TO MEET MY NEW FRIENDS!” I screamed causing the demons around me to both wince and look at the direction of my friend. I slipped the silver ring off of my ring finger before closing my eyes then concentrating on the ball of purple string. Power is swirling inside of me. Slowly, I picked a single threat of power and sent it through my body towards where my wrist was being held and forced it there until I heard him gasp in surprise. He loosen his hold, long enough for me to wrench my hand away before stumbling into a chest.

Looking up, I locked eyes with a pair of very familiar golden eyes. “Inu Yasha!” I cried in happiness as I hugged him before I was pulled away by Sango. I hug her as I felt her hand slip into my pocket and replace the ring back to its previous location.

“Well, its just like you, Kaggie, to make a splash before school’s even started,” Jakotsu laughed as he tucked me into his side with his arm around my shoulders. “Have these beasts been being mean to you?” his hand cupped my chin, forcing me to look into his eyes.

I looked out the corner of my eye and could swear, every male in the near area, was glaring. “Umm, nope. Perfect gentlemen but for you, Mr. Late-Pants, you owe Sango and I both lunch.”

“Whatever, stupid wench,” Inu Yasha murmured.

I slid myself away from Jak and sauntered over to Inu Yasha, making sure to add a little extra sway to my full hips. “Inu Yasha,” I whispered seductively causing him to lean down towards me. “BAKA!” I screamed causing the white fluffy ears on his head to flatten as I took my foot and kicked him as hard as I could in his shin.

Jakotsu burst out laughing as I walked as straight as I could linking my arms through both Jak‘s and Sango‘s arms. I tried not to make a noticeable limp. “I think, I broke my damn toe.”

Sesshomaru’s POV

My eyes drifted back and forth between the seared flesh of my hand and the retreating, limping figure securely tucked between Jakotsu, I assumed to be her friend and Sango, who she yelled for. The flesh quickly healed. However, what would not heal was the anger I felt. Some little ningen, bitch had been able to bring even the tiniest amount of harm to me, but something wasn’t right. Taking a deep scenting breath, he searched her scent for some small amount of power to explain how she had been able to do what she had did.

“Hey, mutt-face! Who‘s the fine, looking, piece of ass with the queer?” Koga asked as he looked over his shoulder at the table they had decided to sit at.

“She ain’t a piece of ass, you fuck-face!” Inu Yasha growled. “She‘s Kagome Higurashi!”

‘Kagome Higurashi, he says? I’ll have to make a mental note for that,’ I thought as I looked away so they thought I was completely ignoring their presence. I listened to their conversation, gathering what information I could about the little slip of a women. She made the biggest mistake in her life without even understanding she had done so.

Listening in, I learned a few other interesting things about her, such as she lived in a small town, about a hour away, called Sunnydale. She was waiting for her apartment to be approved by the school for her and Sango to move in. Apparently, both of them had received full rides, however, instead of just staying in the dorms on campus, which would be completely paid for, they wanted to have the money for a two bedroom apartment then they would cover the rest of the rent themselves.

“She seemed awfully, chummy with you, half breed,” one of Koga’s followers, named Ginta, thought out loud. “How do you know her?”

“My parents always given me the choice to either stay in this hell hole with that bastard-of-a-brother.”

“Half-brother, mutt.” I growled interrupting him.

“Don‘t remind me,” he snarled back before continuing “Anyways, given the choice of playing nice with ‘Lord Fluffy Ass’ or getting to go spend my summers with Jakotsu and his best friend, Kagome Higurashi.”

“MIROKU!” a voice shrieked causing everyone to turn and watch as the midnight, black haired girl jump up from the table. She was sitting at and launched herself into the male human’s arms.

“Let me guess, Miroku, was kind enough to accompany you during the summer?” Koga said sarcastically.

“Wouldn’t you?” he replied smirking before heading over to the other group.

Koga switched the weight of his body from one leg to the other as he rubbed his ears. “She‘s too loud,” he grumbled “I know what I could use to gag her with to shut her up, though,” he said smirking at his idea.

“Maybe you should learn to be more respectful?” I said low enough only for a demon’s ear to pick up before adding a warning growl.

“Just an idea,” he said holding up his hands as he backed away before pivoting on his heels and heading out of the cafeteria.

I couldn’t help but shake my head at the thought of just getting on Koga’s case for what he said. I was thinking very similar thoughts not to long ago. Can you say ‘hypocrite?’ I amused myself.

Kagome’s POV

“It really hurts,” I whimpered into my arms as I had my head resting against the table. “How is it fair that it hurt me more than him?”

“That’s what happens when you pick fights with demons, darling,” Jakotsu said soothingly as he rubbed small circles into the small of my back with his hand. “And its best not to anger Sesshomaru. He‘s known to not play well with others.”

“Fuck him! He’s an ass, anyways,” I practically purred as he continued rubbing my back. “Good god, if you weren’t gay, I’d be all over you.”

Leaning over he murmured into my ear, “For you I could be.”

I laughed. “Ya, fo’ sure , Jak.”

A shadow moved over my light source. “Are you seducing people, again with your wild charms?” I looked up with a glare having my own hazel eyes meet with a pair of amethyst colored eyes. He had shoulder length dark brown hair that was tied into a pony tail at the nap of his neck. He was wearing a black fitted shirt and a pair of khaki shorts.

“MIROKU!” I shrieked jumping up from the table launching myself into his open waiting arms and he lifted me in his arms. “Where have you been? I haven’t seen you in forever!” I questioned resting me hands on both sides of his face.

“And what a shame it is that it has been so long, Miss Kagome,” he said softly as he lowered me to the floor until my feet touched.

A pair of arms circled around my torso and grabbed me from behind pulling me back against a warm well built chest “Hands off, lecher!” Inu Yasha snarled before stiffening as my heart sped up as fear creped its way across my mind. “Ssshhhh! Kagome, it’s alright,” he lightly growled as he nuzzled his face into the side of my neck until my heart rate went back to normal exactly like he had so many other times.

“Way to go, Inu Yasha,” Sango said angrily as she dug through my purse pulling out a pill bottle, opening it and taking out a little white pill which she handed to me followed by a water bottle.

“I‘m fine guys, really,” I lied plastering my best fake smile across my face. “I just was surprised. Hello, being the freak I am, I can‘t even take little surprises, now can I?”

“Pill,” Sango repeated staring at me.

“Alright, alright,” I slipped the pill and gulped it down. “There. Everyone happy?”

Sango’s eyes snapped to meet Inu Yasha’s. He took a tentative sniff of my neck before nodding his head back to Sango. She waved her hand dismissively in the air and placed the bottle back in the purse.

“Can we get to the tour portion of this fun filled event, now?” I questioned slipping out of Inu Yasha’s arms, grabbing my purse as I crossed my arms over my chest and tapped my foot impatiently, trying to my best annoyed expression.

Sango stood shaking her head before tossing out the trash and picking up her own purse. “Whore,” she laughed as she linked her arm with mine.

“And you’re a slut” I giggled, winking at her and broke out of my annoyed expression. We walked out of the cafeteria with Jakotsu, Miroku, and Inu Yasha as they led us towards the main building where Jak said the tour would officially begin.
