The rest of the week was, sadly, more the same of the first day even with Jakotsu walking me to and from my classes. People still managed to trip me, step on my feet or push me into the wall. At least, while I was with the other freshman, no one picked on me. However, it was really getting to the point where I couldn’t ignore it. No one was being physical enough to actually cause me another bruise which was great. The first one was still as brightly colored as when I had gotten it. I was slowly getting to know the ever so, annoying, Koga Wolf, who even though he didn’t sit next to me anymore, he was ever present in the seat behind me."Is my scent unpleasant to demons?" my fingers gently turned the page of the physical geography book I was reading.He chuckled, "Hardly.""Am I a bad person?" I could feel my eyes fill with unshed tears that had been building over the week.He gently twirled the tips of my hair around his finger, "I would think it more likely that it was, in fact, the opposite.""Why aren’t you treating me like everyone else is?""It doesn’t suit my purpose."I turned around in my seat so I was facing him. "And what exactly is your purpose, Koga?"Resting his chin on the top of his hand as he stared at me, "You’re the first women, I’ve really, felt was worthy."My eyes narrowed at him, "Worthy of what?""To be my woman, of course!" he replied with a wolfish grin.
My heart squeezed painfully in my chest, “That’s too bad,” a sad little smile pulled its way onto my lips.
“And why, pray tell, is that?”
“I don‘t date!” I quickly grabbed my stuff as the clock ticked from 9:59 to 10:00. I rushed into the hallway as the unshed tears finally escaped.
A hand snacked itself around my arm. “What’s wrong, Kagome?” Jakotsu asked pulling me towards him with a confused look.
“Why have you been so weird, lately?” I pulled my arm free as his face fell and he frowned.
“Yeah, that’s kind of what I thought,” I glared at him. “I‘ll tell you mine when you tell me yours,” and with that I stomped off acting like a five year old and proud of it.
It was Friday, so I only had physical geography and art. I should go meet Sango for lunch, I wasn’t hungry and with how upset and…. I didn’t really know what I was feeling but I was lashing out at anyone who happen to be near by. Take, poor Jakotsu. He came to walk me to lunch and I acted that way. Sighing disgusted with myself, I walked out the door to get some fresh air. I walked to the Subaru and kicked the tire then remembering it was locked. “Perfect,” a gleam of black caught my attention from the side of my vision. Turning to look at it, I found I was staring at a beauty of a motorcycle. As I walked over I ran my hand over the seat and smiled. ‘It’s beautiful.’
“What are you doing?”
I jumped and pulled my hand off the seat as my heart pounded in away in my chest. “Oh. Hi, Sesshomaru!”
His unnerving eyes stalked my form as he switched his helmet from one clawed hand to the other, “Let me guess, you saw something shiny and just had to touch it.”
“Actually, I was watching the ‘Calagary Motorcycle Show’ a couple weeks ago and they showed their demo of the Kawasaki Ninja 650R that you have right here,” I smiled. “My dad was really into motorcycles but his was just a classic Harley Davison but it was a beauty.”
“Hn”
Patting the seat with my hand I smiled even wider, “However, I‘m surly aware it got nothing on this beast, bet it rides like a dream.”
“You would be correct,” he brushed past me and straddled the bike setting the helmet on the handle before pulling his hair back into a pony tail managing to look regal the entire time.
“Well, guess I‘ll be seeing you,” I turned to head back into the school
“Woman!” he wait till I turned towards him and tossed his helmet at me, “Get on.”
“What!?”
He put the keys in the ignition bringing the monster to life, “I don‘t repeat myself, girl!”
‘What kind of a fucking idiot wouldn’t get on the back of that bike?’ my mind screamed at me as I ran my fingers over the smooth surface of the helmet. “I have art at noon.”
“You’ll be back in time.”
Adrenalin pumped through my system as I secured the helmet and jumped on to the back of the roaring monster sitting behind, perhaps an even more dangerous monster. I rested my hands on his hips.
“Hold on tight,” he warned as we slowly drove out of the parking lot.
“I‘m holding on tight enough! Jeez!”
A smirk appeared on his lips as he gassed it and we flew down the road. Instinctively, my legs clenched to the motorcycle and my arms wrapped securely around Sesshomaru’s abdomen. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I clung to him and I pressed my chest into his back.
‘Today, was defiantly a good day to be wearing jeans.’ I mused to myself. My heart stopped as we passed the last of the houses and headed into forest which coincided with the switch in speed from 60 mph to 90. There was no communication between us but it was a comfortable silence. My body’s instinct took over and I clung harder to him burying my nose into his back and deeply inhaled. To say he smelt good would be the understatement of the century! It was a fresh woodsy scent that was all his own and reminded me of the times I’d camped out in the forest. However, there was another smell covering that one that was more prominent of some sort of green tea scent that was driving me a little wild.
We drove for awhile longer before he turned off the main road and took a dirt road still going as fast as he had been. He, finally, started to slow down as we approached a clearing.
“Oh my,” I gasped as I took in the whole picture. The bike slowed to a complete stop and he cut the engine. We both dismounted the bike and walked over by the water. There was a beautiful large two story log type cabin house with a wrap around porch. There was a boat house and dock by the crystal blue lake. “What is this?”
“it’s the Tashio cabin. Inu Yasha’s mother, Izayoi, had it built with her own money for us, Tashio men, to come together to reconnect or at least that was her hope.”
Bending over, I dipped my hand into the water. “is that admiration, I hear, for a human, in your voice, Sesshomaru Tashio?”
He snorted, “I give what is has earned and nothing more.”
“Interesting,” standing up I wiped my hands on my pants. I was slightly startled when a pair of clawed hands came up and cupped my face forcing me to look into his bright golden orbs that I was positive, if I wasn’t careful, I could become permanently trapped in those eyes for the rest of my life.
“Why where you crying in the parking lot?” he questioned bringing his face inches from my face which meant he had to bend down some.
“Stubbed my toe,” came out as a whisper.
A ghost of a smile crossed his lips. “Liar!”
‘Shawty had them Apple Bottom Jeans [Jeans]Boots with the fur [With the fur]The whole club was lookin at herShe hit the flo [She hit the flo]Next thing you knowShawty got low low low low low low low low’
Sango’s ringtone screamed from my pocket as I dug my cell out and clicked the talk button. “Hey, Sango, what’s up?” I disentangled myself from Sesshomaru, trying to get my brain back into working order.
“What’s up you? She has the nerve to ask me?” she said angrily.
“What’s wrong?”
“Let’s see, where to begin? There‘s the fact that you never showed up for lunch, you blew up at poor Jakotsu, who looks heart broken or how about the fact that art started and I haven’t even got as much as a text letting me know ‘what’s up‘!” her voice slightly broke, “The last time, you did this shit I almost lost you, Kagome Higurashi, you know what that did to us all!”
I slowly chewed on my bottom lip as guilt sunk into my gut, “I know, I‘m sorry but I‘m safe and fine!” sighing as I blew a strand of hair out of my face. “I probably won‘t make it back in time for me being in class to actually count for anything so I‘ll meet you at the Subaru when you get out.”
“And Jakotsu?”
“I will talk to him as soon as I get back to school!”
“ ‘Back to school?’ Wait! Hold on! Where are you and who are you with?”
“I‘m with Franando, my Mexican lover, having lots and lots of unprotected sex,” I said sarcastically. “See you in a little while,” pushing the end button I slid it back into my pocket and turned to face a smirking Sesshomaru.
“Franando?” he asked raising a silver eyebrow.
My cheeks tinted red. “Don‘t ask. Come on, you need to get me back to the campus, that is unless you’re not a demon of your word,” now it was my turn to smirk. ‘In your face! Hehehe!’ Hoping off the back of the motorcycle, I unfastened the helmet and reached up sliding it on his head before loosening the strap to his size and clicking it together. With a smile, I waved him off before walking off.
Grabbing my cell I checked the time it was 12:30 which meant Jakotsu was out of class. I dialed his number from memory and listened to it ring until his slightly feminine voice answered. “Hello?”
“Hey, Jak! Where are you, right now? I kind of want to talk, if that’s alright?” I chewed slowly on my bottom lip which always was my nervous tell.
“I‘m by the tranquility pound, near the library.”
That made sense I could hear the running water in the background. “Alright, be there in a few.”
“Oh, no,” Kaguya and her two followers, Kagura and Tsubaki, surrounded me after knocking me on my ass. “We knocked the little human over.”
“Oh, how I’ve missed this. It’s been too long, we really need to do this more often,” I sat up brushing the dirt off my ass. “It’s been a whole day, Kaguya. I was worried something horrible happened to you like you grew a conscious.”
“Is this before or after you where on all fours, begging for it from both the Tashio brothers?” She smirked “So, who‘s better? Sesshomaru or Inu Yasha?”
I checked the time on my cell “Oh, they’re both just fantastic. You should give it a try sometime but, really, ladies as much as a treat this is for me, I gotta go.”
“Sesshomaru, would never touch an ugly, human whore like you!” Kagura yelled as she lunged at me with her hand raised to strike me.
“KAGURA!” Kaguya snarled causing Kagura to stop and stare at her. “You know, we’re not allowed to physically attack her. Come on, that’s enough for today.”
Growling Kagura turned and followed the others as they walked away, “Damn Knights of Tama,” she cursed under her breath.
‘Knights of Tama?’ I watched them walk until they where out of sight. “What the heck is that?” I shook my head and turned and continued to my destination where I found Jakotsu sitting on a bench, looking in deep thought. His black shaggy hair hung loosely in front of his face covering his deep chocolate eyes. Walking up behind the bench, I hugged him from behind and rested my chin on his shoulder.
“When I was just a little girl, I asked my mother, what will I be?” taking his hand I pressed it to my face, “Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?”“Whatever will be, will be,” his voice slightly cracked as he tugged me to sit next to him on the bench “The future's not ours to see.”
“I‘m sorry, Jak. I shouldn’t have been such an ass to you. It’s just I’ve been having a tough time, lately. However, you’ve been with me the whole time, helping me in your own way so that’s all I can ask from you.”
Clutching my hand in his, he gave it a slight squeeze. “Kagome, I love you!”
“Aaawww, honey. I love you, too. You’re like my brother or better yet, my sister,” I smiled warmly at him. “My sister with way better fashion sense than I will ever posses.”
“Kago…”
I turned away from him as I heard someone cry out in pain then followed by laughter. “What was that?” grabbing my bag I made my way to where I heard the commotion coming from and saw a very skinny little orange haired kitsune demon curled in to a ball as three larger demons kicked at it.
My mind went blank as I saw them kicking the innocent, little fellow who only stayed tightly curled in a ball and shook. “What the hell are you doing?” I screamed as I slipped the silver ring of my finger, before going, inside myself and pulling a string of power out sent it blasting at the demon’s sending them flying backwards. “LEAVE!” my eye’s glowed purple as more strands of power started to unfurl from the tightly coiled ball causing power to start whipping around me.
Jakotsu stood in front of me locking eyes with me as he slowly pried the ring out of my right hand and slid it slowly back onto the ring finger of my left hand before pulling me into a crushing hug and nuzzling his nose into my neck whisperingly soothingly to me.
“Kagome, they’re gone. There‘s no more danger,” he waited a couple minutes until my heart beat came back to normal before letting me go.
My mind came back into focus and I stared at Jak, “Did I hurt anyone?”
“No!” he said reassuringly.
I smiled before turning and walking over to the orange haired kitsune who was still curled into a ball. Bending over I touched his hair gently causing him to flinch. Slowly, I ran my hands through his thick hair until he stopped shaking and looked up at with mine with bright, tear filled, green eyes.
“Hi, there! They’re gone, you’re safe, now,” offering him my hand I slowly helped him stand up. “Are you hurt?”
He dusted himself off and shook his head no, that he was fine. “Thank you,” he quietly squeaked.
“Don‘t even mention it. I‘m Kagome and that’s Jakotsu,” I said pointing to Jakotsu.
“I‘m Shippo,” he lifted his hand up and rubbed some blood off of his bottom lip. “It’s nice to meet you.”
I opened my purse and dug around in it. “Here, use this,” I offered, handing him a couple pieces of tissue from a pack. “So, this is a little forward of me but I and my friend are moving into an apartment tomorrow evening and if you want, you could come help us carry boxes. There‘s free food for you.”
“I don‘t know” he said nervously.
Jakotsu patted Shippo on his shoulder. “Might as well give in now, she‘s a persistent one.”
I broke into a big smile “What he said!!!” I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down the street address to the apartment and handed it to him. “We’ll be there around noon.”
Shippo smiled pocketing the slip of paper. “Alright, I‘ll see you there.”
“I can‘t wait! Bye!” Jakotsu wrapped his arm around me and helped steer me towards the parking lot and picked me up setting me on the hood of the Subaru.
He grabbed my purse and set it on my lap, opened it and brought out my makeup bag. “It’s just us, now, so you can stop pretending to be smiles and sunshine.” he wiped of the smudged eyeliner and blush as I started to shake. “I think, you’re going to need to go spend sometime with Miroku‘s uncle, Mushin, again, in the near future!” taking several things out, he laid them on the hood. Grabbing my concealer, he opened it and rubbed his finger into it then rubbed it under my eyes and all over the top of my eye lids.
Gently, he grasped my chin, raising it while holding the eyeliner pencil in the other hand. Bringing it to my eyes he gently traced the outline of my upper eyelid lashes before turning the pencil around and using the foam rubber smudger, soften some of the harshness of the line by smudging it. He blend the line in a little so it doesn’t look like a distinct line before doing it to the other eye’s upper eyelid as well. Touching the eyeliner to the middle of the under eye he outlined it to the outside of the eye.
“I’ve said it once and I‘ll say it a million more times, you have perfect skin,” he boasted as he slipped the eyeliner pencil back in the makeup bag.
After grabbing a small eye shadow brush and a dark shade of eye shadow, he lightly brushed it onto my eyelids. He then applied a lighter shadow in natural tone with a large eye shadow brush, encircling the entire area of my eyes. Taking a large brush, he stroked my face with it, riding it of an eye shadow that had fallen below my eyes. “Eyes to god,” he demanded as he pumped the mascara wand before applying mascara to my top and bottom eyelashes.
He smiled as he examined his work. “Your smokey eyes look beautiful. Oh, look, you’ve stopped shaking,” he took the brush he used, to wipe off the fallen eye shadow. He wiped it on his pants before dipping it into a container of my natural colored blush and applying it to the apple of my cheeks. “Which is good cus’ my little nose can smell Sango, Miroku and Inu Yasha are coming,” quickly he grabbed my lip stick, applied the natural pink color to my lips before putting everything back into the makeup case and putting it back into my purse.
“Thank you!” I yelled as I hugged him.
“No problem,” he insured me as he pulled away handing me my vanilla body spray.
I looked at him questioningly, “Are you trying to say, I stink?”
He rolled his eyes at me. “No, what I‘m saying is that Inu Yasha has a better nose than I do. Somehow, I don‘t think you going to want him freaking out because you smell like Sesshomaru,” he lightly inhaled, again. “Koga, tears, and terror,” he helped me hop off the hood of the car. “And I‘m not going to tell Sango about what happened but she’s going to know if Inu Yasha opened his mouth and I’m not going to have her pissed at me. Plus, I know it will only make you feel a million times worse if she‘s all worried over you.”
My lips pulled into a large smile. “Thank you!” I said as sincerely as I could before spraying my self with the spray and setting it back into my purse.
“You've got some s‘plaining to do,” Sango called in her best Ricky Ricardo impression. “Inu Yasha?”
He walked up to me and stuck his nose in the crock of my neck and inhaled deeply before jumping back and gasping “Shit!” he rubbed his nose. “Kagome, you know how I hate when you wear that disgusting shit.”
I felt my eye twitch, “Well, maybe you shouldn’t go sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong!” hiking my purse up on my shoulder I walked over and stood next to the passenger side door and waited. “We will be up here around noon and we will see you all there. You’re helping if you like it or not!”
Sango pressed the button on the key to unlock the car, I hoped in and buckled in. She turned and shrugged her shoulders at the guys before giving them all a quick hug. She smacked Miroku on the back of the head, very Gibbs like after he squeezed her ass and Miroku giving me a thumbs up. Sango started the car as she cursed Miroku and drove out of the parking lot.
Something shiny and black caught my eye. Turning to look I saw a black motorcycle sitting across the street from the parking lot with its rider nonchalantly sitting there unmoving wearing his black helmet.
“What kind of motorcycle is that?” questioned Sango.
“That’s a Kawasaki Ninja 650R, ” I replied turning in my seat to look at it as we drove down the road. The motorcycle turned on and took of flying down the street.
My heart squeezed painfully in my chest, “That’s too bad,” a sad little smile pulled its way onto my lips.
“And why, pray tell, is that?”
“I don‘t date!” I quickly grabbed my stuff as the clock ticked from 9:59 to 10:00. I rushed into the hallway as the unshed tears finally escaped.
A hand snacked itself around my arm. “What’s wrong, Kagome?” Jakotsu asked pulling me towards him with a confused look.
“Why have you been so weird, lately?” I pulled my arm free as his face fell and he frowned.
“Yeah, that’s kind of what I thought,” I glared at him. “I‘ll tell you mine when you tell me yours,” and with that I stomped off acting like a five year old and proud of it.

“Actually, I was watching the ‘Calagary Motorcycle Show’ a couple weeks ago and they showed their demo of the Kawasaki Ninja 650R that you have right here,” I smiled. “My dad was really into motorcycles but his was just a classic Harley Davison but it was a beauty.”
“Hn”
Patting the seat with my hand I smiled even wider, “However, I‘m surly aware it got nothing on this beast, bet it rides like a dream.”
“You would be correct,” he brushed past me and straddled the bike setting the helmet on the handle before pulling his hair back into a pony tail managing to look regal the entire time.
“Well, guess I‘ll be seeing you,” I turned to head back into the school
“Woman!” he wait till I turned towards him and tossed his helmet at me, “Get on.”
“What!?”
He put the keys in the ignition bringing the monster to life, “I don‘t repeat myself, girl!”
‘What kind of a fucking idiot wouldn’t get on the back of that bike?’ my mind screamed at me as I ran my fingers over the smooth surface of the helmet. “I have art at noon.”
“You’ll be back in time.”
Adrenalin pumped through my system as I secured the helmet and jumped on to the back of the roaring monster sitting behind, perhaps an even more dangerous monster. I rested my hands on his hips.

There was no communication between us but it was a comfortable silence. My body’s instinct took over and I clung harder to him burying my nose into his back and deeply inhaled. To say he smelt good would be the understatement of the century! It was a fresh woodsy scent that was all his own and reminded me of the times I’d camped out in the forest.

“Oh my,” I gasped as I took in the whole picture. The bike slowed to a complete stop and he cut the engine. We both dismounted the bike and walked over by the water. There was a beautiful large two story log type cabin house with a wrap around porch. There was a boat house and dock by the crystal blue lake. “What is this?”

“Stubbed my toe,” came out as a whisper.
A ghost of a smile crossed his lips. “Liar!”
‘Shawty had them Apple Bottom Jeans [Jeans]Boots with the fur [With the fur]The whole club was lookin at herShe hit the flo [She hit the flo]Next thing you knowShawty got low low low low low low low low’
Sango’s ringtone screamed from my pocket as I dug my cell out and clicked the talk button. “Hey, Sango, what’s up?” I disentangled myself from Sesshomaru, trying to get my brain back into working order.

“ ‘Back to school?’ Wait! Hold on! Where are you and who are you with?”
“I‘m with Franando, my Mexican lover, having lots and lots of unprotected sex,” I said sarcastically. “See you in a little while,” pushing the end button I slid it back into my pocket and turned to face a smirking Sesshomaru.
“Franando?” he asked raising a silver eyebrow.
My cheeks tinted red. “Don‘t ask. Come on, you need to get me back to the campus, that is unless you’re not a demon of your word,” now it was my turn to smirk. ‘In your face!

“I‘m by the tranquility pound, near the library.”
That made sense I could hear the running water in the background. “Alright, be there in a few.”
“Oh, no,” Kaguya and her two followers, Kagura and Tsubaki, surrounded me after knocking me on my ass. “We knocked the little human over.”

“KAGURA!” Kaguya snarled causing Kagura to stop and stare at her. “You know, we’re not allowed to physically attack her. Come on, that’s enough for today.”
Growling Kagura turned and followed the others as they walked away, “Damn Knights of Tama,” she cursed under her breath.
‘Knights of Tama?’ I watched them walk until they where out of sight. “What the heck is that?” I shook my head and turned and continued to my destination where I found Jakotsu sitting on a bench, looking in deep thought.

“I don‘t know” he said nervously.
Jakotsu patted Shippo on his shoulder. “Might as well give in now, she‘s a persistent one.”
I broke into a big smile “What he said!!!” I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down the street address to the apartment and handed it to him. “We’ll be there around noon.”
Shippo smiled pocketing the slip of paper. “Alright, I‘ll see you there.”
“I can‘t wait! Bye!” Jakotsu wrapped his arm around me and helped steer me towards the parking lot and picked me up setting me on the hood of the Subaru.
He grabbed my purse and set it on my lap, opened it and brought out my makeup bag. “It’s just us, now, so you can stop pretending to be smiles and sunshine.” he wiped of the smudged eyeliner and blush as I started to shake. “I think, you’re going to need to go spend sometime with Miroku‘s uncle, Mushin, again, in the near future!” taking several things out, he laid them on the hood. Grabbing my concealer, he opened it and rubbed his finger into it then rubbed it under my eyes and all over the top of my eye lids.
Gently, he grasped my chin, raising it while holding the eyeliner pencil in the other hand. Bringing it to my eyes he gently traced the outline of my upper eyelid lashes before turning the pencil around and using the foam rubber smudger, soften some of the harshness of the line by smudging it. He blend the line in a little so it doesn’t look like a distinct line before doing it to the other eye’s upper eyelid as well. Touching the eyeliner to the middle of the under eye he outlined it to the outside of the eye.
“I’ve said it once and I‘ll say it a million more times, you have perfect skin,” he boasted as he slipped the eyeliner pencil back in the makeup bag.
After grabbing a small eye shadow brush and a dark shade of eye shadow, he lightly brushed it onto my eyelids. He then applied a lighter shadow in natural tone with a large eye shadow brush, encircling the entire area of my eyes. Taking a large brush, he stroked my face with it, riding it of an eye shadow that had fallen below my eyes. “Eyes to god,” he demanded as he pumped the mascara wand before applying mascara to my top and bottom eyelashes.
He smiled as he examined his work. “Your smokey eyes look beautiful. Oh, look, you’ve stopped shaking,” he took the brush he used, to wipe off the fallen eye shadow. He wiped it on his pants before dipping it into a container of my natural colored blush and applying it to the apple of my cheeks. “Which is good cus’ my little nose can smell Sango, Miroku and Inu Yasha are coming,” quickly he grabbed my lip stick, applied the natural pink color to my lips before putting everything back into the makeup case and putting it back into my purse.
“Thank you!” I yelled as I hugged him.
“No problem,” he insured me as he pulled away handing me my vanilla body spray.
I looked at him questioningly, “Are you trying to say, I stink?”
He rolled his eyes at me. “No, what I‘m saying is that Inu Yasha has a better nose than I do. Somehow, I don‘t think you going to want him freaking out because you smell like Sesshomaru,” he lightly inhaled, again. “Koga, tears, and terror,” he helped me hop off the hood of the car. “And I‘m not going to tell Sango about what happened but she’s going to know if Inu Yasha opened his mouth and I’m not going to have her pissed at me. Plus, I know it will only make you feel a million times worse if she‘s all worried over you.”
My lips pulled into a large smile. “Thank you!” I said as sincerely as I could before spraying my self with the spray and setting it back into my purse.
“You've got some s‘plaining to do,” Sango called in her best Ricky Ricardo impression. “Inu Yasha?”
He walked up to me and stuck his nose in the crock of my neck and inhaled deeply before jumping back and gasping “Shit!” he rubbed his nose. “Kagome, you know how I hate when you wear that disgusting shit.”
I felt my eye twitch, “Well, maybe you shouldn’t go sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong!” hiking my purse up on my shoulder I walked over and stood next to the passenger side door and waited. “We will be up here around noon and we will see you all there. You’re helping if you like it or not!”
Sango pressed the button on the key to unlock the car, I hoped in and buckled in. She turned and shrugged her shoulders at the guys before giving them all a quick hug. She smacked Miroku on the back of the head, very Gibbs like after he squeezed her ass and Miroku giving me a thumbs up. Sango started the car as she cursed Miroku and drove out of the parking lot.
Something shiny and black caught my eye. Turning to look I saw a black motorcycle sitting across the street from the parking lot with its rider nonchalantly sitting there unmoving wearing his black helmet.
“What kind of motorcycle is that?” questioned Sango.
“That’s a Kawasaki Ninja 650R, ” I replied turning in my seat to look at it as we drove down the road. The motorcycle turned on and took of flying down the street.
