Chapter Two

Jakotsu walked us to the front building. I slid my cell out of my pocket checking the time and if I had any texts.

“Alright, you better prepare yourselves because I’ve been practicing,” Jak said in a mock-serious tone and wiggled one of his eyebrows at us. “Ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to have you taken and interest in our fine collage. Tama offers students a classic, liberal arts campus that blends beauty with contemporary facilities, modern technologies, and historic buildings. Take a stroll along the well-groomed, beautifully landscaped paths of our campus and you’ll find why students describe it as the perfect place to strike a balance between the academic, the professional, the social, and the personal.”

I slipped my cell back to the pocket and clapped my hands together. “Very good Jak! That sounds very professional!”

“Please hold all questions to the end of the speech,” he chided.

“Yes, ma‘am,” I replied, using one hand to zip my lips and throw the key away as we walked to another building, “Penrose Library.”

“Funny, you smart ass,” he laughed to himself before speaking again. “Anyways, some of the major points of this school are the Tashio Reading Room within the state-of-the-art Penrose Library, open 24/7, which exemplifies Tama’s dedication to learning and achievement.”

Inu Yasha hooted, “That’s right! Go, dad!” he said sarcastically and affectively annoying me to the point of jabbing him right in the rib cage with my elbow. We walked to another building before he started again.

“We recently had our Hall of Science remodeled thanks to the Tashio family’s generous donation to our school. Anyway, the research laboratories, in the Hall of Science, is designed for more affective collaboration between the students and professors,” Jak explained

“See that over there, Kagome?” Miroku asked, pointing at the solar panels on the roofs of the building. “Tama is, now, more environmentally friendly with its heating and cooling systems, which exemplify Tama’s environmental ethic thanks to Mrs. Tashio.”

“Nice,” I murmured a little flustered. ‘I knew Inu and his family had money however, I had no idea it was this fricken much’ I gasped to myself before looking over to Sango and seeing the same thoughts crossing her mind.

“The Reid Campus Center is a gathering place for the entire Shikan Tama community and is a specially popular destination to hang out. This is, also, where students may rent sports equipment from the Outdoor Program rental office housed there, or you can sign up for community service opportunities through the Center for Community Service. However, if you keep breaking the equipment, they may not rent to you, anymore!”

“I‘m a growing demon. What can I say?” Inu Yasha said in defense as he rested his chin on the top of my head sighing in boredom.

“Naughty puppy,” I giggled as we followed Jak to another building.

“Okay, so, this set of extremely, large buildings are the art buildings,” He explained. “This is where they decided it would be best place to put the venues for art and cultural events such as Hoshi Joy Theatre, Kuro Hall concert auditorium, and Banryu Art Gallery.”

I raised my hand which earned a eye role from Jak, “Yes, Kagome?”

“Let me get this straight, the library is named after the Tashio family?”

“Yep,” Inu Yasha sighed as he flicked a piece of dirt from out of under his claw.

“So, the theatre is named after Miroku’s family and the art gallery is named after your family Jak?” I asked slightly bewildered.

Miroku slightly stiffened, “You knew, we came from well off families,” he responded.

Sango‘s eye‘s slightly bulged, “Not this much, we didn’t!” she countered.

“It does answer some questions I had, though,” I said thoughtfully as I tapped my finger against my chin. “I was wondering, how Inu Yasha got accepted here. However, I guess, it’s not to hard to see when your dad owns a good portion of it, is it?” I said cracking up as he fake punched me in the arm. “Sorry, I had to! Anyway, on with the tour.”

“Now, this is what I‘m talking about!” Inu Yasha hollered as he picked me up swinging me across his shoulder as he ran to the middle of a large clear field before setting me back down. “This is where all the action happens, baby!”

Jak and the rest of the group, finally, caught up. “Damn you, Inu Yasha! Not all of us have your speed!” Sango said in her best Inu Yasha type growl.

“Anyways,” Jak said interrupting the yelling match. “This is the, centrally, located Shikan Field, home to the college’s intramural sports competition, in which 75 percent of Tama students participate in many activities. As a Taman , you’ll spend many a sunny afternoons here, studying, sunbathing, playing Ultimate Frisbee, pick-up soccer, football, or volleyball, or simply hanging out with your friends. Unless, you’re Miroku then you will enjoy your free time running from the female population trying to kill you.”

“I‘m just a poor misunderstood soul!” he said dramatically holding his hands over his heart.

“I know, you live such a hard life,” I said in a sympathetic tone before giving him a playful shove, “Like my ass.”

“Well, if you insist,” he said going in for the grope. “Ooww!” he wined as he rubbed the spot on his head where Sango’s purse made impact.

“It’s what you get for being a pervert!” She yelled. I smiled to myself it had been along time since the two of them had gotten to spend time together.

Jak finished the tour by showing us where the normal freshman would reside and the rest of the dorms. I had to remind him the term “normal” was all relative!

After finishing the tour, we had decided to go and show the apartment, we would be renting, to the guys. As it turned out, they were still dealing with the carpet and wouldn’t be able to move in till after the first week of school was over. Now, in a pissy mood, we sat in the living room to Jakotsu’s two bedroom apartment which he shared with his half brother, Bankotsu. Currently, I was laying sprawled out on the couch with my head resting on Inu Yasha’s lap and feet across Jak’s lap. It was hard to decide who had done the decoration for the room because it defiantly came across with a strong male feel to it but it was done tastefully so I decided it was done by Jak with Bank in mind, as a peace offering.

“FOOD!” I demanded. “Where the hell is he and what’s taking him so long?”

“Me thinkth you spendth to much timeth with Inu Yasha,” Jak said as he lazily ran his finger up and down my ankle. Just then, the door flung open revealing a tall demon with cream colored skin. He had long, black hair that was braided in the back just like every other time she had seen him.

“It might be one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen in my life,” I said flinging myself off the sofa.

“I know, I am but no reason to drool over me so openly,” he said huskily as I approached him.

“I’d watch your fingers,” Inu Yasha warned as I snapped the pizza box’s out of his hand, ran back to the sofa, setting the box’s on the coffee table before opening one and scarfing down a couple slices of pizza.

I felt everyone’s eyes on me. “What?” I questioned as I used a napkin to wipe my mouth.

“Where does it all go?” Sango complained.

“To my ass,” I stood up and wiggled it at everyone “See, isn’t it the most gigantic and enormous ass you’ve ever seen?” I said laughing.

“I think it’s proportional,” Sesshomaru replied stepping in the doorway.

“Sesshomaru, what the fuck are you doing here?” Inu Yasha screamed standing up from the sofa.

“I assume the same as you, half breed, but with better manners,” He emotionlessly spat back. Everyone in the room went silent as the two brothers glared at each other. Now, I could understand the stories Inu Yasha and Miroku had told me about Sesshomaru and Inu Yasha getting into physical altercations. Which meant, if this continued, Inu Yasha would be the one to lose.

“This is ridicules,” I reasoned moving so I was standing between them as Miroku made a grab for my wrist trying to keep me away. “Inu Yasha, tonight is about making me happy so I don‘t want any fighting. If Sesshomaru agrees, to put aside the mud flinging. Why can‘t he stay and we all eat?”

“Feh, I ain’t the one who‘s not going to be able to knock the snot nosed, shit out for one night.”

I turned locking eye‘s with him before lowering them after realizing the signal of challenge it sent. “Sesshomaru, will you please set aside your differences for the evening?”

“I will not have some ningen tell me what to do,” he seethed.

“I understand that, Lord Sesshomaru, however you did just say that you had been raised with better manners?”

“Hn,” was his only reply before entering and closing the door behind him. He took a seat on the sofa where Inu Yasha had been sitting.

Sighing, I walked into the kitchen and handing everyone a plate. I had to take a steady breath before handing Sesshomaru his plate. There was just something about how he looked at me, almost like a predator stalking its prey. I asked everyone what they wanted to drink before heading back to the kitchen. I returned with the combinations of pop for Inu Yasha, Sango Jak and myself as well as water for Miroku, Sesshomaru and Bankotsu.

The love seat had Sango and Miroku and even though the sofa can comfortably seat four people. However, with one of those people being Sesshomaru that left room for three people. Sesshomaru sat on end of the sofa and Jak and Bank sat at the other end. Inu Yasha sat on the floor, criss crossed, gnawing on a piece of pizza. Slowly, I looked back and forth, trying to choose between the comfortable open space on the sofa or the hard floor before deciding.

Sesshomaru’s POV

I’m willing to admit that under normal circumstances I would rather have my arm chopped off than, willingly, spend an afternoon with the half breed. However, when Bankotsu let it slip that the curios, little creature. Kagome. would be there, I found my self agreeing to come. As soon as we entered, I watched, amused as the little creature had snatched up the pizza before wolfing it down. She should have disgusted me but it only seemed to amuse me further. I couldn’t comprehend the thought of her having a “gigantic and enormous ass.” However, as I watched her shake it I could think of how perfect it was. How it would feel wonderful to use it as a sheath. ‘That’s disgusting to think!’ I scolded my thoughts, ‘She’s nothing but a filthy ningen!’

As I had entered the apartment her brown eyes widened, slightly in shock, as she saw me. It pleased me to bring this reaction out of her and if it wasn’t so beneath me ,I would have smiled in pleasure. Of course, the mutt had to open his trap, affectively ruining my good mood.

“Sesshomaru, what the fuck are you doing here?” Inu Yasha screamed standing up from the sofa glaring at me.

“I assume the same as you half breed but with better manners,” I retorted slightly shocked as the little creature wiggled her wrist out of the monks hand and positioned her self between the mutt and I. It was either and extremely brave move or extremely stupid one.

“This is ridicules,” she tried reasoning. She had reminded the mutt that tonight was for her and apparently she dident wish for me to end his worthless life on this particular occasion. My ears perked at the sound of my name “so if Sesshomaru agrees to put aside the mud flinging why can‘t he stay and we all eat?”

“Feh, I ain’t the one who‘s not going to be able to knock the snot nosed, shit out for one night,” Inu Yasha spat out.

She turned locking eyes with me before lowering them after, apparently, realizing the signal of challenge it sent. “Sesshomaru, will you please set aside your differences for the evening?”

I bristled at the thought of having a worthless, ningen telling me what I, Sesshomaru Tashio, future lord of the west, would do. “I will not have some ningen tell me what to do”

Suddenly she slightly craned her neck to the side exposing it to me in and act of unconscious submitting not that any one else had probably noticed. “I understand that, Lord Sesshomaru, however, you did just say that you had been raised with better manners?”

My eye‘s widened a fraction of an inch before returning to normal. This little vixen was well trained in demon protocol to the level she did it subconsciously, now, that was interesting.

“Hn” I replied before entering and closing the door behind me as I took a seat on the sofa where the mutt had been sitting before. ‘She had impeccable manners for a ningen,’ I thought to myself as she retrieved plates and refreshments for the group. Yet, again, I find myself fascinated with the little creature as her eyes darted between the open seat beside me and the hard floor. Her eyes going from hazel to green in her deep thought. ‘What will you do, now?’ my mind amused itself as my eyes stalked her movements. She took a deep breath causing her chest to rise and fall before sitting on the sofa next to me with her plate of pizza.

After she sat, the conversations had returned to what they had been before we had entered. The Sango girl was complaining about not wanting to have to drive home and how Kagome was useless because, apparently, she fell asleep while in the car. Apparently, that also included while she was driving. The rest of them where reminiscing about the past.

“What are you looking at, ningen?” I asked feeling her eyes on me.

“You haven’t touched your pizza, at all,” she pointed out as she took another small nibble of her own.

“Hn,” I growled feeling everyone turn to look at me.

“You don’t like it?” she asked, “We have other kinds.”

“It’s fine,” I said icily.

She paused, taking a sip of her pop, “is it that you’re not properly trained in ‘how to eat ningen food?’ ” she asked innocently as she held her own piece of pizza in the air as she continued to stare at me.

I could smell the scent of anxiety fill the room from her friends who were worried for her. Was she mentally retarded and couldn’t comprehend what everyone else in the room knew or did she just like playing with fire? Reaching over, I grabbed the wrist of the hand holding her pizza and brought it towards me and took a large bite out of it, smirking as her face dropped and I released her wrist.

“That’s mine, you ass!” she said in a cute little human type growl.

Kagome’s POV

I know you shouldn’t play with fire unless you want to get burned but with him just sitting there, in all his demonic superiority, was pissing me off. He hadn’t even touched the pizza Bankotsu had been kind enough to buy for us. Let’s face it, pizza doesn’t just grow on trees.

“What are you looking at, ningen?” he questioned.

“You haven’t touched your pizza, at all,” I pointed out taking a small nibble of my pizza.

“Hn”

“You don‘t like?” I asked, “We have other kinds.”

“It’s fine,” he said icily. No doubted, trying to get me to shut up. However, he, obviously, didn’t know who he was dealing with.

I paused taking a sip of my pop as a evil thought snaked its way through my mind, “Is it that you’re not properly trained in ‘how to eat ningen food?’ ” I asked as innocently as I could. I yelped in surprise as he grabbed my wrist for the second time that day and managed to eat my whole slice of pizza in one bite.

I laughed on the inside. ‘So, the great, Sesshomaru Tashio, has a sense of humor?’ “That’s mine, you ass!” I growled before bursting out laughing causing Sesshomaru to slightly smirk. “Who would have thought, emotion could show on that marble face of yours?”

The rest of the evening went smoothly enough with the Sango smacking Miroku every time his hands wondered off any where they were not suppose to be. I giggled as I watched Sango and Miroku. I was sitting on Inu Yasha’s lap, where he had pulled me after I “fed” Sesshomaru as he glared at him. After deciding it was time to head home, we said our goodbyes before heading to the car. We would be seeing them in a week when school started up, anyway. Sango and I walked down into the Subaru waving Jak off as he stood on her balcony watching us till we were safely into the car. Once, seated and buckled up, I fell to sleep as I watched the open highway pass before my eyes. ‘I think, this year might not be so bad,’ I thought to my self.
