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

hhmm I’m really sorry it took this long but yet again my editors where switching who did this chapter…. Long story but its finally up and thank you both Shoroie & Rami! They really do help me feel like writing more… hint hint! Lol I hope you all enjoy this chapter!!!

It had been such along time since I had felt this warm and secure. It was all that and a bag of puppy tails. I shifted under the blankets to be able to snuggle more into the warmth that was calling out to me. I froze as I felt the object of warmth chuckled at me. I slowly opened one eye and screamed as my eyes locked with two molten golden orbs.

“Sesshomaru, what the hell are you doing in bed with me!?!” I shrieked as I jumped out from under the blankets before hissing and falling to the floor as my knees buckled. “Shit, shit, shit! Oh my head, it hurts so bad!” I cradled my head in my hands and stayed as still as I could hoping it would help with the waves of pain going on in my head. “Oh my god, did we do it…? Tell me we didn’t do it, did we?!”

“I promise you, nothing happened!” Sesshomaru came and kneeled by me holding a glass of water in one hand and two pills in the other. “Take these and lay back down,” he ordered.

It was hard to concentrate when each of those quiet words he spoke thundered in my head. Not to mention, he was only wearing a pair of baggie black silk boxers that where riding awfully low on his hips, exposing the same maroon stripes that where on his cheeks, his wrists and, apparently, on his hips. “Good god, Sesshomaru! Put on a shirt, would you?” I hissed as I downed the pills and gulped down some water.

He raised a eyebrow, “If you’re complaining about the view, you would be the first,” he said even more smug then usual. “And you’re the one who crawled into bed with me, Kagome. Just be thankful, I was gracious enough to put cloths on.”

“What the hell are you talking about? You’re the one only wearing boxers,” my face burned brightly red as he raised his eyebrow and recognition finally hit me. “Oh…”

“Indeed,” he gently pulled me up to my feet and helped me back on to the bed. “Sleep!”

“You realize, every time you order me to do something I have the overwhelming urge to stab you with a fork,” I mumbled as I drifted back to sleep.

Sesshomaru’s POV

How is it that it’s so impossible to study? “What are you doing?” I shook my head and pushed the papers, I had been working on, further back on the desk and walked out of my office. I headed to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water. I twirled the draw string of my sweatpants as I took a long drink of the cool water.

“I'm like a dog in heat, a freak without warning.I have an appetite for sex 'cause me so horny.Oh me so horny....Ohh me so horny...Ohh me so horny.Me love you long time.”

My eyes snapped to the counter where her cell phone sat, ‘Just as if my day couldn’t get any better. I get to listen to all of her god, awful ring tones for her idiotic friends’. Picking up the singing object of annoyance off the counter, I checked the caller ID. “Inu Yasha,” I growled between clench teeth. ‘Shit’ I shook my head to try to regain my composure but it was too late. The tiny little thing was already crushed in my hand which was not good but on the other hand, it made it stop singing so was it really that bad.

I lifted the lid of the trashcan and tossed the remains of the phone into the trash. This little stunt was defiantly not going to be earning me any points in her favor. ‘Fantastic!’

My nose wrinkled as a unwelcome familiar scent appeared right before a loud pounding sound started at my door.

“Open the fucking door, asshole!”

Pound, pound , pound

My eyes darted to the hallway before I quickly made my way to the door. I wrenched the door open. “Inu Yasha, if you wish to continue to live you, will cease and desist,” my eyes narrowed as I glared down at him. “What do you want?”

“Sesshomaru, you’re a lot of things but stupid is not one of them. You know damn well why I‘m here. I talked to Sango!”

“And I care you talked to her, why?” I crossed my arms over my bare chest.

“I heard what happened, yesterday and I just tried calling her and she didn’t answer, I want to talk to her!”

“If you think I‘m letting you in, you’re out of your mind. I‘m already going to have to fumigate and you’re only standing outside,” that’s when the scent of whatever greasy thing that was in the McDonald’s bag, hit my nose. “And pray tell, what on God’s green earth is in that bag!”

He smirked up at me apparently feeling very cocky “Kagome‘s ultimate hangover cure all remedy,” he held up the bag in one hand and then a large drink in the other. “She‘ll be pissed if she finds out you kept me from giving this to her, where is she?” he peered around me trying to get a better look inside. “KAGOME!!” he shouted.

Reaching out, I curled my hand into the collar of his shirt, pulled him inside and slammed him against the wall. “You will stop that now, you dirty half breed! She‘s sleeping!”

He set that bag and drink on the coffee counter before quickly running down the hall and poking his head into the guest bedrooms, “What the fuck, Sesshomaru? She‘s not there! where the hell is she?!”

“Silence! Before I permanently silence you!” I pinched the bridge of my nose and pointed to the closed door of my room.

His eyes slightly bulged. “Why the fuck is she sleeping in your bed room!?” his hand shot out towards the door handle.

I grabbed his wrist and shoved it away “I’ve been very accommodating because I know you’re worried for the girl’s welfare. However, if you think for a instant, I‘m going to allow you to get your stink in my bedroom, you severely are in need of mental help!”

The door, in question, slowly opened as she peaked out, “Sesshomaru, what’s with all the noise?” she rubbed her eyes. “Inu Yasha, what are you doing here?”

“What the fuck are you wearing!” his eyes slightly bulged. “And why the hell are you sleeping in his room?!”

She winced in pain and closed her eyes as she rubbed her forehead. “For the love of God, Inu Yasha, shut the hell up.”

Inu Yasha’s ears flattened against his head. “I‘m sorry Kag‘s but I have got something that will make you feel better.”

She opened a eye and looked at him. “From McDonald’s?”

He smirked “Of course!”

We moved into the living room and Kagome sat on the couch with her legs folded and opened the bag and pulled out a large thing of fries before removing the lid to the large chocolate milk shake. She grabbed a couple of fries and swirled them around in the milk shake before popping them into her mouth and moaning in satisfaction.

My nose wrinkled in disgust. “That’s disgusting!”

She raised an eyebrow, “Have you ever tried it? Cus unless you have, you have no right to say anything one way or another.”

“It’s not his fault Kag‘s. He’s just happen to be a health freak.” Inu Yasha said sarcastically as he stole a fry.

“Really?” her eyes lightly sparkled in fascination. “But I’ve seen you eat pizza!”

“I assume that because little, old you dogged him on,” he smiled darkly. “Why darling, I think, your unthawing the heart of the Ice Prince!”

“Simply because I don‘t treat my body like a trash disposal, doesn’t mean I’m a health freak, mutt.”

It wasn’t hard to miss the drastic change in Kagome as she stiffened. “Hey, umm. Don’t be ridicules, Inu. I’m a human,” she laughed. “Where are my clothes, Sesshomaru?” She put the empty fry container and empty cup back in the bag.

“There in the bathroom on the counter.” I watched her as she disappeared around the corner. “What are you playing at, half breed?” my eyes snapped back to him. “Don‘t mistake our game of cat and mouse, for anything other then what it is. A game.”

“Was forcing her to sleep with you, worth it?” he snarled.

“Why, dear brother, she crawled into bed with me!” I couldn’t help but smirk as I watched him squirm.

“You know nothing about her. Just leave her alone.”

“Don‘t be so sure of what I do or don’t know.”

Kagome’s POV

I finished pulling on my jeans, and I splashed some water on my face. I was feeling a lot better, thankfully. I ran my fingers through my hair, trying to, at least, slightly tame the beast. Giving up, I pulled it into a messy bun. After folding the jersey, I set it where my clothes had been setting and blushed madly as I tried to remembered what exactly when on last night. I believed him that we didn’t do anything, however, it still is highly embarrassing to think of how I must have acted in front of him in my drunken state.

As I walked back into the living room, it kind of felt like I was entering a war zone. “Hey, Sesshomaru, thanks for everything!” I shouldered my bag and grabbed my jacket. “But I should probably get going, I have to get to class soon.”

“Of course, would you like a ride?” he asked politely.

“Actually, Inu has the class with me so I was thinking of just bumming a ride, if that’s alright?”

“Always Kag‘s,” Inu Yasha agreed enthusiastically as he hopped up from the chair.

‘God, this is awkward.’ I absent mindedly played with the edge of my shirt. “I really mean it, thanks for helping me out and letting me stay the night!”

Sesshomaru slightly smirked. “You’re welcome in my home, anytime Kagome. Anything to piss off my dear, little brother.”

I burst out laughing. “I‘ll keep that in mind, see ya!”

How is it, that a nice steaming, hot shower can make you feel like all is right in the world? I rested my forehead against the wall of the shower as the hot water poured down on me. My entire body was stiff from all the different self defense techniques that we were currently being taught in our current unit. It appeared, Inu Yasha wasn’t feeling in a particular friendly mood. He didn’t speak more then a couple words to me from the time we left Sesshomaru’s to when class finally got over. Shaking my head, I turned off the water, I wringed the water out of my hair and reached my hand out of the shower to grab the towel.

Sango was sitting on the toilet, “You have explaining to do, little missy,” she handed the towel to me.

I shrieked in surprise as I grabbed a hold of the safety bar as I lost my footing. “Where the hell did you come from?!” snatching the towel from her I securely wrapped it around myself and stepped out of the shower.

She followed me into my bedroom and plopped down on to my bed. “I tried calling your cell but it just went straight to voice mail.”

Grabbing my purse I dumped it onto the bed and shifted through all the random junk. “Shit, I must have left it at Sesshomaru‘s!”

“Yes, now, that’s something I actually want to talk about. What the hell happened?!” she snatched one of the granola bars that had been in my purse and munched on it.

I dried off and dropped the towel on the floor as I found cloths to wear. “I‘m not actually sure, all right? It’s kind blurry,” I finished pulling on a t-shirt with the words written on it saying ‘I’m bored, entertain me!’

“I have a pretty good idea. ‘Sesshy licked me and made it all better,’ or how am I suppose to take that?” she asked with a raised eyebrow.

I pointed at my forehead. “Shippo told you what happened, yesterday! Sesshomaru licked my forehead and it completely healed the cut you pervert!!!”

She slightly pouted. “Oh, well that’s not nearly as interesting as what I had thought, but you’re alright right? He didn’t try anything funny, did he?!”

I grabbed my hair brush, “Umm.. No, he was a perfect gentleman,” I ran it through my hair getting rid of the nasty tangles.

Her eyes narrowed. “I heard that ‘Umm.’ What happened? What did he do?”

My cheeks reddened. “So you remember how after the ‘incident’ I took up sleep walking?”

“You didn’t just sleep walk, whenever you were nervous, you’d crawled into in to the nearest person‘s bed… ohh,” she burst out laughing. “God, I can only imagine what Ice Prince looked like when he found you all cuddled up in bed with him.”

“There was no cuddling!!!” I picked a pillow up and chucked it at her head.

“You’re a cuddler! You always have been and always will be. God that’s too funny!” she wiped a tear from the corner of her eye. “Wait. Where are you going? I‘m not done laughing yet!”

I shoved all the stuff back into my purse, shouldered it in my school bag. “Some of us actually have class‘s to go, too, you laughing hyena. Not all of us can major in ‘Miroku anatomy 101‘ ” I ducked as a pillow flew at my head. “See ya, later-z”

“I love, Professor Shaw! No matter how many people think that he’s crazier than a lune and too loud! However, I swear if I break my ankle doing this, I’m going to kick his ass!” I strained to listen more closely as stretched my arms out in front of me to make sure I didn’t run into anyone.

“You’re doing fine, Kagome. Now, take a step to the left to avoid running into the wall,” Britt instructed. “We’re almost back to the class room!”

When I arrived at class before, Shaw had instructed us to get into pairs and grab a blind fold for a social experiment. Really, I just assume he wanted to go to the roof of the school and grab a smoke but who knows. So listening to Britt’s instructions I had successfully gone up and down stairs, around the school and not died.

I could have cried from happiness as Britt told me I could remove my blind fold because we were back at the class room. “Let me tell you, leading you around was way less stressful then being lead, good god.”

“No kidding, I completely understand where you’re coming from,” she smiled sadly.

“Alright, kids. I‘m tired and have better things to do, so those of you that are done, feel free to leave,” Professor Shaw shouted as he interred the classroom and tossed the cigarette butt into the trash can.

“Freedom!” I shoved my papers into my bag, “and that’s the last class for the day, yes!”

“Hey, you! Want to go get coffee or something, Kagome?” she still had the same little sad smile. “It’ll be my treat for what happened.”

“You don‘t owe me anything and I‘m fine so its all good!” I sighed, “but I could really go for some hot cocoa.”

She laughed, “for real?”

“What can I say? I‘m just not a big coffee drinker.”

We decided on a little coffee shop called “Cafe Lolita.” Where, yes, the waitresses were all dressed in different kinds of Lolita fashions. We placed our orders and snagged a booth near the back.

“You, really, ordered hot cocoa?” she smiled and shook her head.

“Hey, now. I’m really excited about trying out their gourmet hot cocoa,” I complained just as the waitress arrived with our order. “Excuse me, but can I take your picture?” I asked as I fished my digital camera out of my purse.

She smiled politely and posed doing a slight bow, “How’s this?”

I clicked the picture. “Wonderful, thanks!” I turned the camera off, stashed it back in my purse, picked up the cup and took a slow sip. “Wow, this really is delicious, what?” I asked noticing that she was staring at me.

“What was that all about?!” she asked as she set her cup back on the table.

“I‘m not telling. You’re just going to think I‘m a complete weirdo!”

“I totally won‘t, I promise. Come on, you have to tell me, now. That you’ve got me all curious!” she gave the puppy dog eyes. “If you tell me, I‘ll tell you a secret.”

I sighed in defeat. “Okay, but don‘t tell anyone. It’s too embarrassing. There‘s only one other person that knows and that’s my friend, Shippo. He found out by accident.”

“Promise!”

“Well, ever since I was little, I’ve always loved reading magazines and I became obsessed with trying to do it myself. I made mock layouts of what I’d want my magazine to look like and I had them stored on my computer.” I took another sip of the hot cocoa. “Well, my friend, Shippo, found them, since he’s a wiz with all things electrical, so he helped me set up a anonyms online magazine. I think this place would be great to let people know about.”

“The name of your magazine wouldn’t happen to be ‘Mikazuki,’ would it?”

I blushed, “Actually, yeah it is but how did you hear about it?”

“Do you have any idea how popular your magazine has become? How many hits its got, actually some one in the news room was assigned to write a article about the popular new online magazine for the school news paper!”

“It’s not that good. All I do is talk about the latest fashions, trends, what’s going on politically, I do some human interest stories and a random spattering of other random things.” I spooned some more of the cream and eat it. “Anyway, enough about me. What about you? I‘m sorry to say this but why is a nice kid like you, with that ass, Onigumo?!”

She laughed, “Well, you don‘t hold back, do you?!”

“I’ve been told its both a blessing and curse!”

“I suppose it would be. Well, I did say I’d tell you a secret so I guess its fine if I tell you a little. You can’t tell any of your friends!”

“Okay…”

“You know how I told you I was a reporter for the Daily Tama, our school’s news paper? Well, I‘m sure you must have heard of The Knights of Tama by, now. I‘m using Onigumo to be able to gain information for my story. Trust me, I’d much rather stab myself with a fork then tie myself to him. This story means everything to me, I just need to be able to tie M Kiss to them.” Her fist clenched.

“I keep hearing about the Knights of Tama but I have no idea what or who they are and when ever I ask anyone about them they act like they didn’t hear me!”

“The Knights are from the founding families, there are four of them and each of them has two people directly under them. They rule the school without ever having to dirty their own hands. All they have to do is post something to their website and the faithful followers take care of the rest,” she nervously fiddled with her spoon. “So, if they wrote they wanted a student‘s life to be made a living hell… they could do that.”

Recognition finally clicked as I had flash backs to all the times I’d been pushed, shoved, kicked spit on and how no one seamed to wanted anything to do with me. “Oh… does anyone know for sure who the Knights are?”

She shook her head. “The only person who I‘m sure is a member is Onigumo and I‘m not even sure which level he is”

“You’re one of the few people who has actually been cool with me since I started going to school. Brittany it means a lot to me which is why I need to make sure you understand that no matter how important this story is to you, it can’t be worth having to put up with Onigumo.”

“A girl’s got to do, what a girl’s got to do. Enough with this depressing ‘blah blah’ stuff. Let’s just pretend, for a little while, that we are just two normal kids who‘s biggest issues are the coming up founders day ball that is coming up next week. Do you have a dress?”

“Actually, my friend, Jak, is a fabulous clothing designer in the making and was suppose to make me something. I guess, he’s been really busy tho so my friend, Sango and I are going to go dress shopping this weekend. If you don’t already have one, you should totally come with.”

She dug into her purse and pulled out a card. “This is my business card. Give me a call with further info.”

I took the card and looked it over. “Very professional, Miss. Dunn”

“Why, thank you.”

We said our good byes and headed our own ways. It wasn’t exactly like I wanted to do it but I wanted my phone back! I pulled into Sesshomaru’s drive way and parked. I had it all planned out, I was going to knock on the door, act as if last night never happened and just get my cell phone back and get out.

“Just going to sit there, Higurashi?” Sesshomaru called out as he leaned against the door frame.

I got out of the car “Hey, Tashio,” using my hip I bumped the door close.

“Are you coming in or are you just going to stand there? Your choice.”

“I‘m thinking.”

His golden eyes shimmered with amusement as he smirked, “That could be dangerous.”
