InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ No Escape ❯ Chapter 1 ( Chapter 1 )

She had never been known what normal was, she hid who she was from the entire world. As she sat leaning against her best friend's jaguar she pulled a cigarette from her pocket and in one swift flick of her lighter she lit it.
Someone took the cigarette from her, she looked up into dark brown eyes "Kagome you know you shouldn't smoke, if any one saw it and it got back to you mom you would never be able to leave your house." came Sango's voice.
Kagome smiled and took the cigarette back and took a long drag before throwing it on the floor and stomping out the flame. Kagome observed her best friend she like herself was seventeen and only a few months from becoming a fully-fledged adult. Sango was about 5'6 very athletic in form her long chestnut hair was in a high ponytail, her deep brown eyes held a nervous glint. They were waiting outside a large office building when the sound of a gunshot went off. Sango and Kagome both looked up. Kagome's cell phone rang she picked it up.
"Our job has been completed, nee-san" the voice said through the phone. "You may go report it to headquarters." The line went dead and Kagome closed her phone and nodded to Sango they both got into the car and sped off into the darkness.
As Kagome walked into her house, giggling could be heard coming from the living room. She tried to ignore the sounds as she walked past the room and into the kitchen where her Otousan sat speaking to his oldest and closest friend.
"Ah Kagome you returned how did everything go?" her father asked "The task was completed without error" came Kagome's voice as she opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. "Is that all you have to say" came her Otousan's voice.
Kagome looked up and smiled at her Otousan "I am fine Sango is fine and everything worked out well, I wish I could stay and chat but I was out longer than expected and my homework is piled up in my room and I must complete it."
With that Kagome turned to leave but was stopped by a different voice "Well I must say that I am hurt that I was not even greeted with a hello" Kagome slowly turned around and looked at her father's best friend.
"Well after getting into that fight with your son and threatening to kill him I thought that you wouldn't want to speak to me" He nodded "Ah yes I am actually very proud of you it was about time that someone put him in his place" he chuckled his amber eyes beaming with joy
"Inu no Taishô, I don't think it is a good Idea to encourage Kagome to torture your son, it might cause some problems between her and Kikyo." Her Otousan replied.
Kagome scoffed her Otousan looked up at her "No the event that caused the problems was her birth" and with that she exited the kitchen and as she walked past the living room a hand grabbed her and pulled her into the living room Kagome looked at the owner of the hand and saw it was her cousin Rin.
Rin was only 5'2 making her shortest in the family, her long black hair was exactly like Kagome's but her eyes where hazel, which made the biggest difference in their appearance for the most part people mistook them for twins.
"Kagome are you alright did everything go okay" Rin asked franticly as she looked over Kagome inspecting her. Kagome smiled her older cousin was like a mother figure to Kagome even though she was only a year older than Kagome she was wiser than her years.
"I am fine Rin, everything ok" Kagome said trying to sooth Rin. A tall man appeared next to Rin he gently placed a hand on Rin's shoulder.
"Calm down Rin you’re going to give yourself a heart attack if she says she's fine then she is fine" Rin looked up.
"Koga can't I be worried about her, I mean you were extremely worried about her earlier pacing back and forth, and sighing" Koga turned away and sighed he began to scratch the back of his neck. Kagome walked up to him observing him His ice blue eyes cast down wisps of his long black hair falling in his face.
"You still worry about me huh, after all we have been through together and you still don't think I can handle shit" Kagome said her tone very disapproving. Koga looked up
"Kagome I know you can handle yourself and I was glad Sango was their cause she is one tough bitch, but I still worry about you two it's hard to be the one not knowing what is going on, constantly wondering if your friends are okay." He said gently his words struck.
Kagome's heart lifting her spirits but still he should have known everything was going to be okay she's been doing it since she was in the 8th grade and been in this family her whole life she could handle herself in any situation. "Well I am glad you were worried, but shouldn't you have been worried for someone else who went by themselves on a mission?" asked Kagome.
Koga looked up at her a perplexed expression on his face. "No one else is out tonight it was just you and Sango" Kagome shook her head.
"Ayame went on an information gathering at the Cougars Den" as Kagome finished her sentence she saw Koga truly had no idea Ayame was on a mission and saw his expression change from relief to instant worry. "She should be home by now" Kagome's voice rang but nothing could sooth the now flustered Koga as he grabbed his jacket from the back of his chair waved to Kagome and Rin and rushed out of the house as if it was on fire.
"When is he going to admit he loves Ayame as a women and not just a friend" Rin asked looking at Kagome.
"The same day you admit to loving yours" was Kagome's smart reply. Rin's face turned red a flush covering her cheeks.
"I do not see him that way and he does not see me that way besides he has a girlfriend" Rin said sadly.
"His girlfriend is a total Whore, but it's not like he cares, he only cares about one thing and the only thing that she can guarantee him is more power." Kagome nodded when a voice replied.
"And whom may I presume you are talking about?" came a cold and stoic voice.
Followed by cutsiey giggles that made Kagome's stomach churn when she turned around her eyes fell upon an almost exact replica of her Otousan's best friend, he had deep amber eyes and long silver white hair his ears where pointed at the tip and his Crescent Moon was showing on his forehead, thus showing that he had also been out on a mission and using his inner demon to Accomplish his goals. The main difference between him and his father was their personality Sesshomaru was stoic and unemotional whilst his father's personality was more open and filled with emotion much like his younger son.
"We were talking about none of your business, in fact we were just commenting on Rin's boyfriend"
At this Sesshomaru's eyes perked up in Rin's direction seemingly lit up with some emotion. “Boyfriend?" came his surprised reply Kagome turned back to Rin Who looked her dead in the eyes her eyes filled with anger that caused Kagome to flinch.
"What he doesn't know and you call yourself best friends" Rin's eyes bore a whole through Kagome.
"Rin" Sesshomaru called her name in a commanding way as if expecting answers at that precise moment.
"Thanks Kagome" Rin said acid laced through her voice.
"Sesshomaru how do I begin to explain, well I guess I don't need to right it's not like you told me when you got a girlfriend I found out from your brother."
Rin said as she attempted to walk a past him but he grabbed her arm and as she looked up into his eyes Kagome who was looking from what she deemed a safe distance was disturb by the anger in his eyes and knew this was no longer safe distance.
"Rin "he said again his voice rough and his eyes filled with rage.
"Hiten" came her reply Sesshomaru seeming lost his grip as she replied.
"Outside now" Rin complied looking back at Kagome.
Kagome began to walk towards the stairs remembering the pile of homework, that was sitting in her room when, the front door opened a middle aged women walked through the threshold her light brown eyes sparkling with relief at the sight of Kagome, her eyes began to water as she rushed forward and clasped her hands around Kagome's waist.
"Oh darling I was so worried "she said hugging Kagome tight as two people walked into the hall in an intimate embrace. Kagome looked at them and audibly made a choking sound.
"Kagome honey are you all right?" came the women's voice.
"Yes Oka-San I am fine just saw something rather disgusting." Her Oka-San turned around to where the two people stood.
The boy was about six feet tall and had long silver hair and deep amber eyes, his skin flushed with a light tan, but the most attracting feature of the man to anyone's gaze were the two appendages atop his head the only sign to a human that this was a half dog demon. The girl that stood in his loving embrace was about 5'6 her long chestnut brown hair struck out against her pale white skin, her grey eyes held a tedious gaze as she looked back at Kagome.
"Oh you're alive damn and I had prayed so hard for you to receive your death tonight." Came the girl's voice. Kagome's mother looked between them not saying a word.
"Well sorry to say but I made it and I guess we pray for the same thing because I prayed death would come to you." Kagome said looking into the girls eyes with pure hatred.
"Kagome please don't start why can't you be nice and accept your sister" came Kagome's Oka-San's voice.
"SHE IS NOT MY SISTER" Shouted Kagome. Everyone's gaze turned towards Kagome. "Just because you accept all of Otousan's mistakes does not mean that I have to" Kagome said as she turned away and began to walk upstairs.
"The only mistake Kei Kumi-Cho made was letting your mother give birth to you" this voice belonged to the boy that held Kikyo. Kagome spun around and looked dead into his eyes.
"You bastard you have no room to talk because you were a mistake to you half breed, ask your Onii-San because he agrees. Next time I see you I promise no one will stop me from slitting your throat" Kagome said rage filling her voice.
"Don't talk to Inuyasha like that Kagome" came her Oka-San's voice. Kagome was about to retort when the sound of a slap echoed into the house from the front porch.
"You have no right, Sesshomaru you don't control me or my life Hiten is my boyfriend if you don't like it then you can stay out of my life" with that Rin rushed into the house and up the stairs. Sesshomaru walked in the red outline from the slap he received was fading fast.
"This is your fault you know, you can't keep her as a pet you either like her as a friend and can watch her flutter into the arms of another or tell her that you want her to be yours, but let me tell you be wise in your choice or you like others in this room will sorely regret your decision" Kagome said looking straight into Sesshomaru's eyes.
"Kagome where is Koga he was going to stay for dinner" said Kagome's Oka-San trying to break the tension in the room, but at the sound of that name Inuyasha began to growl.
Ignoring him completely Kagome replied "He ran off after hearing that Ayame went to the Cougars den and" Kagome was cut off
"What why did she go there?" came Inuyasha's anxious voice. "she was gathering information" Kagome said "now if you will excise me I have some homework to finish before dinner" with that said Kagome walked upstairs as she reached the second floor landing she saw that Rin's room door which was usually kept open was closed as Kagome neared the door she heard small sobs coming from within Kagome gently knocked on the door before entering, Kagome saw Rin laying on her bedface buried in her pillow. She walked over and sat on the corner of the bed.
"Rin I am so sorry about telling him, I thought he knew." Rin looked up and shook her head and in broken sobs. "Couldn't…Tell him… Cause.. Cause…I knew…" and she broke out in sobs again. Kagome hugged her tightly and gently rubbed her back. "Rin just give him some time I mean you are dating Hiten and those two are best friends too and maybe the thought of you two dating just is a bit weird." Kagome said. Rin looked up and dried her tears and nodded. "We should start our homework now after all we still have school tomorrow we can't put it on hold because of what we do."
Kagome and Rin began to study, the hours seemed o pass by quickly, and before they knew it Kagome's mother was calling them down for dinner. They obliged her request. In their house dinner with the family was a must no excuses or punishment was to be dealt out. As Rin and Kagome walked into the dining room they noticed that they had several extra guests, it seemed that Inu no Taishô and his sons had decided to stay for dinner. Kagome sat down next to her Oka-San as per usual yet today Inuyasha sat in front of her much to her distaste. The meal was served by the hired help as Kagome deemed them. They began to eat and Inu no Taishô and Kagome's Otousan Kei were carrying on a conversation about stock trading, Kagome's mother Akane was eating in silence missing her best friend who was home with the flu. Kikyo kept making googly eyes at Inuyasha while Rin and Sesshomaru avoided each other's gazes. All was silent till
"I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone"
Everyone looked at Kagome. She picked up the phone without a care in the world
"Hello babe what's up?" asked Kagome
"Hey Kagome I just wanted to ask you to tell your mom I was sorry I couldn't go to Dinner I am at Ayame's house her grandfather Invited me to stay so I am mostly cause I got a bone to pick with her." Koga said his voice laced with anger towards the end.
"S'okay don't worry in fact you might have been pissed if you had stayed" Kagome said looking up Inuyasha's glare boring a whole through her.
"Why?" Koga asked curiously.
"The bastard is here" Kagome stated a growl came from across the table and over the phone could be heard. "Well Kagome good luck got to go" Koga said in a rush Ayame's grandfather could be heard in the back ground.
"Ok night love" Kagome closed her phone and picked up her fork and began to eat.
"Who was that Kagome" Kei asked. Kagome looked up "It was Koga he said he was sorry that he could not stay for dinner but Ayame's gramps wanted him to stay over at his place for dinner." Kei nodded
"So Kagome I think it is time for your announcement" Kei said a smile graced his face. Kagome smiled and everyone else turned to give Kagome their undivided attention. "I got in!" Kagome exclaimed
Rin looked up beaming with pride "Really Kagome oh my gosh I am so happy we will definitely see each other a lot more then." Rin said eagerly. "I am so proud of you Kagome" Akane said as she hugged Kagome.
"So Tokyo University is it, well then you will be attending school with Inuyasha." Came Inu no Taishô's voice. Kagome looked up "Well the school is so big and there are so many students I am sure we will not have any classes with each other, oh and Oka-San I am moving out." At this a dead silence filled the room. Akane looked at Kei.
"I have spoken to Kagome about this and we have come to an agreement, Kagome will move into an apartment with Sango and Rin as long as they come to dinner every Friday and they don't allow it to interfere with their Duties and their school work."
Kagome's mother was on the verge of tears when Inu no Taishô spoke "Kei you must really trust Kagome to let her go out on her own like this" Kei nodded "Out of all my children Kagome is the only one that I can truly believe in one hundred percent of the time not to run away from this life" Kei said.
Kikyo banged her fists on the table and pushed her chair back and rushed out of the dining room the front door slammed as she left the house. Inuyasha stood up as if to follow "Stop turn around and sit back down" Inu no Taishô said. The rest of the meal continued in silence after desert Inu no Taishô thanked Akane and left. No words were exchanged between the families as everyone rushed off to their rooms awaiting new tomorrow.

Kagome awoke to the sound of rushing feet from outside her door, she slowly got out of bed wiping the sleep from her eyes as she opened the door she saw the hired help rushing about she looked back at her clock and noticed she was already late for school. It was 8:30 she rushed to her drawer and grabbed a white tank top and picked out some dark blue skinny jeans from her drawer and hurried to her bathroom she did her morning routine and threw on her clothes she exited her room when she remembered she left her jacket in her closest, with a heavy heart she reentered her room and went to her closet and grabbed the leather jacket and put it on The word's Hells Angel in gold and red were embroidered onto the jacket. She walked out of her room again her world seeming to get heavier. She walked outside her 2009 Lamborghini was waiting for her she hopped in it and sped off to Onizuka High School. Kagome strolled into the school and went straight to her English IV honors class, she turned the door handle to classroom and took a breath as she waltzed in, Completely ignoring the teacher and her fellow students she went to her desk positioned in the back of the room next to the window Sango who sat in front of her turned around and gave her a weary smile Sango looked sleep deprived with bags under her eyes and her hair a tousled mess.
"Well it is nice of you to join us Higurashi" Takei- Sensei said. Kagome looked up "Sorry please continue" Kagome said looking out the window. "Well thank you for your permission to continue the class Kagome, do you have your homework" asked Takei Sensei. Kagome held up a stack of thirty papers. "Here is the essay you asked us to write in extensive detail over the political issues within the three books we read." Kagome said Takei nodded. "You never surprise me Kagome you're always late but you are usually one of the only ones to actually complete assignments." Takei –Sensei said as she went tothe chalk board.
"Well teach if you gave us homework that was actually possible to finish without us being late from oversleeping maybe we would do it" Kagome looked over at Inuyasha who had just spoken he looked back at her and glared Kagome was in no mood to be taunted into his games so she looked away. "Detention Inuyasha you will be joining Kagome, Sango and Miroku this afternoon." Came Takei's reply the class went smooth after his outburst. When the bell rang all of the students rushed out except Sango and Kagome who stayed back leisurely "Why is Miroku in trouble?" asked Kagome. Sango looked up "Does it matter why he always is" with that both Sango and Kagome laughed. They stood and walked to their next class which passed in a blur Calculus was Kagome's least favorite subject and she hardly ever paid attention. "Yes two free periods then lunch I love being a senior." Sango exclaimed. Kagome nodded noticing Sango was not wearing her Jacket. The jacket was a symbol of who they were in society, what they did was never spoken of aloud by people and people usually let it go without noticing in fear for their lives if they did. Sango and Kagome were a part of one of the largest crime families in Tokyo, or so they were called, to Kagome they upheld real justice that faulty government's let slip through the cracks. Being a part of a crime family never necessarily meant you were an active participant but with both Kagome and Sango's families head of national Yakuza families they were active and their duties held president over their entire lives.
"Were your Jacket Sango?" Kagome asked lightly Sango looked up "It got caught on my car door and ripped" nothing else was said on the subject as both new this was a lie. They walked to the parking lot and towards Sango's convertible. Miroku was leaning against it talking to Inuyasha. Could she not escape him she thought. Her day seemed to be going from bad to worse. Inuyasha looked up and caught Kagome's eyes. She looked away when they approached the car Miroku went over and grabbed Sango's hand pulling her close. He held her in his arms staring deeply into her eyes which held such a fierce love before he leaned down and kissed her sweetly. Inuyasha coughed and Miroku pulled away. "What man this is a lot less then what you do with Kikyo in public" at this Kagome laughed. "What the fuck are you laughing at bitch?" Inuyasha asked angrily "Your stupidity Bastard" Kagome said glaring at Inuyasha.
"Come on now can't you two act civil towards one another for a while I mean come on you were friends." Miroku said as Sango buried her head in his shoulder trying to escape the daily annoying banter that went between the two. "I was never that assholes friend, who would be he is just a lowly half breed" Kagome said.
In a swift movement Inuyasha had her pinned to the hood of the car his razor sharp claws positioned at her throat. Kagome looked up into his eyes they were cold deep amber tinged with red. "What is going on here" Inuyasha retracted himself. Inuyasha looked around Kikyo stood their looking confused.
"Keep your dumbass puppy on a leash would you Kikyo." Kagome said as she began to walk off in the direction of her car. She got in started the car and sped off out of the parking lot.
Sango looked up "Way to go now I have no idea where she is off to and she probably won't come back to school" Sango said concern laced in her voice.
Inuyasha looked in the direction Kagome's car sped off to. Her face lingered in his mind if he had truly meant to kill her would her face have been like that? He wondered. It held nothing but a deep unending hatred no fear no regret hatred and pain as deep as the ocean. For some reason this bothered him. He could remember a time when her eyes shone with happiness but that ended so long ago and taking a look into her eyes was something he would never do again if he was only to see hatred, because, his heart softened her eyes should never hold that emotion. He hated Kagome with a passion but not as passionate as her hate. His thoughts lingered upon this when he felt Kikyo grab his arm.
"Inu come on forget her she's a snotty little bitch and deserved it it's just too bad you didn't kill her." She said. Inuyasha looked down at Kikyo "Miroku and I have detention this afternoon so don't wait for me to take you home." Kikyo nodded "Oh okay I got to get back to class" she said gently she leaned up and gave him a gentle kiss. Inuyasha watched as she walked away. "I don't get you man you gave up everything for her." Miroku said as Sango got into her car. Inuyasha looked at him "it's because I know she is the one" Miroku shook his head "Are you going to help or not?" Inuyasha nodded without saying a word. He walked to his truck got it and began to drive.

Kagome was driving around; absentmindedly she knew that Sango would be worried so she reached down for her cell phone. It wasn't their then it clicked she had left it on her dresser this morning.
"Shit fuck it all she said." When a though popped into her mind She needed a place where she could be alone with her thoughts. Kagome began to drive toward the outskirts of town to a small Dojo.
She parked her Car and walked to the back of the Dojo a path led into the woods. Kagome sighed and began to walk. She strolled leisurely, till she came to a clearing that housed a large mansion it had three stories' and encompassed a large amount of land. Kagome walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. She waited for a few minutes when the door opened a young woman opened the door her fiery red hair and emerald green eyes sparkled in the mid afternoon light.
"Kagome what are you… Kagome your bleeding" Ayame said. Ayame grabbed her and rushed her into the living room. Kagome sat on the couch while Ayame waltzed off to the bathroom to grab the first aid kit. When a blur passed in front of Kagome, Koga appeared before Kagome and he began to growl.
"Who the fuck did this" He growled out but as he took a sniff of the air his growl turned from protective to feral. "That bastard I am going to kill him." He was about to charge off but Ayame came into the room.
"What is it Koga?" Ayame asked as she tended to Kagome's wound.
"He tried to kill her that fucken bastard I am going to rip his throat out" Koga snarled out. Ayame looked up at him sadness apparent in her eyes.
"STOP" Kagome screamed out. Ayame looked down "Sorry Kagome I wasn't paying attention." Ayame apologized. "Not you that idiot" Kagome said pointing to Koga. Kagome winced she felt the pain in her neck. "I deserved it" Kagome said looking down. Koga looked up "What the hell do you mean you deserved it Kagome" anger still audible in Koga's tone. "I egged him on to a point where he could have lost control, but he didn't I am lucky this is all I got, and I think I did this when I tried to make an escape from him I nicked his claw." Kagome stated honestly.
Koga settled down letting one last growl. Ayame shook her head. "Kagome can't you just leave him alone" She asked. "It's not like I plan this just whenever I see him I want to throttle him" Kagome paused
"Ayame may I use your phone I kind of stormed off and Sango is probably worried." Ayame nodded and Kagome went to the phone. "I can't fucken leave her alone for a minute without her getting hurt." Koga said his face in his hands. "Koga" Ayame said gently as she placed a hand on his shoulder. "Doesn't she get how much I care about her?" he asked aloud. Ayame retracted he hand and stood up. Koga looked up at her. "Don't get mad" she said. Koga looked up at her "What are you talking about." He asked confused. She looked at him dead in the eye he saw sadness "Promise me whatever happens you will control yourself" Ayame said desperately. Koga was paralyzed "okay I promise to control myself no matter what" Ayame nodded as the door bell rang Ayame ran to answer the door. "Is she here?" the voice asked. Koga immediately recognized it and began to growl.
"Inuyasha how could you" Ayame asked in desperation.
The voices were closing distance towards Koga. "Blood" Inuyasha said "Did I" Ayame Looked at him his eyes shone with fear. "She is fine it was a superficial wound nothing that would hurt her." They walked into the living room Koga stood his ice blue eyes ablaze with anger. He raised his hands his claws glistened from the sunlight that sparkled through the windows. "Koga you promised." Ayame said. "Why do you defend this bastard Ayame?" Koga asked. "I..I" Ayame was cut off by Koga "Nothing to say huh I guess it's no surprise that you would defend him I mean you are a stupid bitch just like him" Koga growled out.
Ayame looked up pain stuck the deepest cord in her heart that was not it at all, she defended him because she defended the hope that they could all go back to the way things were. Inuyasha began to growl. "You asshole you're a fucking prick you know that Ayame has always stayed by your side she's been your best friend since forever and you treat her like this I should kill you were you stand." Inuyasha spat.
"Well try it half breed" Koga's declaration of war sent Inuyasha charging at him. A pulse was felt throughout the room it felt like a very strong heartbeat, both boys turned around and saw Kagome standing at the entrance her aura was glowing a bright pink, they both froze her miko powers had been released. Kagome watched them her heart torn in two at the look on Ayame's face her green eyes which usually smoldered with love and care for all her friends were now deep green and troubled tears welling up in her eyes. Kagome walked over to her friend letting go of her powers as to not harm her demon friend. "Ayame" Kagome whispered. Ayame looked at Kagome and the tears spilt from her eyes overflowing like a river after a rain storm.
Koga looked finally realizing what he had said earlier and he couldn't even look at Ayame, instead he ran away from the problem he created. He rushed past Inuyasha towards the front door, the slamming of it echoed throughout the house. Inuyasha walked over to Ayame and grabbed her gently from Kagome's grasp. Amber eyes gazed into downcast green "Don't listen to the idiot Ayame he's being an ass." Ayame nodded
"I think I should go lay down, feel free to stay as long as you want" she said walking off. "I think we should give her some space" Inuyasha said looking at Kagome. She ignored him and walked past him and rushed outside. When Kagome reach the beginning of the clearing she needed to clear some stress. "KOGA WHEN I FIND YOU YOUR DEAD YOU HEAR ME DEAD" she shouted at the top of her lungs. Kagome collapsed to the ground. "My fault" she sobbed "all of it, why, why do I do this." She began to hit the ground with her fists punching it with all her might. She continued till she began to draw blood from her knuckles. Inuyasha watched, it was awkward to be here he felt as if he was intruding on a private moment, one of weakness. "Stop with the self pity" Inuyasha said. Kagome ignored him continuing to hit the ground. "If were late to school we will have to serve double detention." He said. Kagome looked down the path that led back to her car. She couldn't get double detention she had a job to take care of tonight. Kagome got up and dusted herself off and began to walk back towards her car. Inuyasha followed silently behind her they both got into their vehicles without so much as a backwards glance at each other.

Across town at Tokyo University Rin was having her own problems, Sesshomaru usually took her to school but since their fight Rin knew that there was no possibility of that happening, with Hiten out of town on a mission she was left to taking the bus, since her car was totaled a few months back. Upon arriving at school there was no sign of Sesshomaru anywhere in fact Kagura was walking by herself to her classes and she seemed rather annoyed by this fact. Rin tried to avoid her throughout the day knowing full well that an encounter with her would not be in her best interest, most people would mistake this action for fear, but it was not fear that made Rin try to avoid her, it was the fact that they were born enemies and any encounter would end in bloodshed. Kagura's family was under Tomaki the Waka-Gashira of a rival clan which was her father's worst enemy, and what was worse is that Sesshomaru was considered a threat because of his relationship to her, so when he was over at the house Rin's Ojisan Kei was very cautious even when Inu no Taishô was present he never took Sesshomaru's presence lightly. Rin walked in an abnormal silence her whole presence shouted sadness. Rin was like the walking dead when she felt to arms encircle her waist, at first she tensed but then the spirit of the one holding her flooded through her.
"Hiten" she sighed happily. She looked up her eyes sparkling with happiness. The boy that held her took her breath away he was tall about six feet two inches tall his rose red eyes sparkled like a child when that child was holding his most precious toy, his long hair black hair was in a messy braid. "Rin I am so glad I found you" his words rushed out. "I thought you were still on your mission." Rin said quietly. "I was love but I finished it quick to get back here to you." He said as he spun her around in his arms, he looked deep in her eyes and swiftly kissed her with such fervent passion. Rin responded in kind kissing him back with such eagerness.
Someone cleared their throat and they broke apart. They simultaneously turned to look at the intruder. There in his magnificent glory stood Sesshomaru his amber eyes emotionless. "Hiten we need to talk" it was not a question of when or where, but an order that Hiten was to stop his actions and speak with his Kyodai this was a direct order. Hiten nodded "I'll come get you after your classes are done so wait for me" Hiten smiled at Rin and she nodded. Sesshomaru looked at Rin but she ignored his stare, and hurried to her next class. Hiten followed Sesshomaru as he walked towards the parking lot, when they arrived at his brand new Mercedes "Get in" Sesshomaru said.
Hiten complied within himself Hiten knew this had nothing to do with his mission or the clan but with Rin. Hiten knew that in Sesshomaru's life there were many women whom threw themselves at him begging for his attention and affections, but he paid them no mind, and even though he had Kagura there was no one more important in his life than Rin. This was the same for Hiten. The three of them had grown up together and through thick and thin they were always there for each other, and neither of them when they were younger had any physical attraction to Rin they were only friends. But they had all grown up and the attraction had been developed. There was no denying from either of them that Rin had become the most beautiful women not only physically but emotionally. Hiten recalled a moment a few months ago when he realized just how much he cared for Rin. He was to go on an suicidal mission to take out the Shateigashira of a rival family, there was no guarantee, that he would ever see her again. When she had heard about his mission she rushed to him and found him in the temple praying for redemption, when he saw her standing at the entrance her long chestnut tresses hung wildly in her face. Her deep brown eyes blood shot tears streamed down her checks, her rosy red lips in a sad pout. As Hiten gazed upon her disheveled form he had never seen anything more beautiful, the moment their eyes caught she ran into his arms. She could have said anything telling him not to go, or saying she loved him but no words could change the fact that he had to do what he had to. He held her till she cried herself to sleep he laid her on the floor of the temple and stole a gentle kiss, and walked away into the fires of hell. As Hiten pondered the moment he fell in love with Rin Sesshomaru was struggling with a similar matter.
Sesshomaru knew Rin since they were born he was one day older than Rin, they were both born in the same hospital their parents were best friends. They were sent on play dates every day Sesshomaru smiled inwardly as he remembered the young Rin she was a small scrawny child that was frightened of everything, she always came running to him for protection, and even though it annoyed him to no end he could never deny her anything she wanted. Her smile lit up his world and was the only thing that kept him going after his mother had died and when his father remarried. When his father left his mother and married his mistress whom had given him two children, that's when he began to hate them he tried to hate Rin he blew her off yelled at her telling her to go die. He remembered that day she had come over to console him yet he was angry beyond belief, he opened the door when he knocked and their she stood with her stupid smile he was pissed, he couldn't control himself she embodied everything that he hated she was human she was a girl and she like everyone else would eventually betray him. "Sesshomaru are you alright I know it must be hard" she had said but he cut her off. "Stop you filthy human why don't you go die I hate you I hate you all." He saw tears well up in her eyes but he slammed the door in her face and went to his room to sulk. As he sat in his room it began to pour rain it was winter but not yet cold enough for the rain to become snow. Hours passed and his soul had begun to turn dark hatred consuming him, the silence was foreboding it was well after midnight and the rain still poured, A scream shot through the house. Sesshomaru stood quickly believing it was a raid, he rushed down stairs their stood one of the maids and the doctor of the house.
"She's dead" cried the maid. Sesshomaru's heart throbbed when he scented the air the rain made it hard but he caught a sweet scent of lilies RIN he though. He rushed over and there she was lying on the floor soaked from the rain not breathing. "What happened" the doctor asked. "I went to lock the gate it had swung open when I opened the door I saw her lying there not breathing" the maid sobbed. Sesshomaru felt his heart stop this was his entire fault he felt a single tear slide down his face, he rushed over towards her what to do what to do he thought, and it clicked CPR he opened her mouth and breathed in he pulled back and began the pulses 1 2 3 pause he began to breath into her again pulling back 123 pause "Sesshomaru there is nothing that can be done she is gone." Came the doctor's voice he growled, and continued, after the fifth time and all his mental prayers she began cough a terrible chocking cough. Sesshomaru turned to the maid "Fill the nearest tub with hot water" the maid ran to fill the request. Sesshomaru held Rin thanking Kami above for saving her, his most beloved person. That night after Rin was warmed and given medicine by the doctor Sesshomaru watched as she was lead to her room, and he in turn walked to his own. He could not sleep what had he done what if she had died, these thoughts filled his head when his door opened and Rin poked her head in. "Sesshomaru" as she whispered his name his heart began to beat fast Rin looked at him, he couldn't speak. She walked towards his bed and she climbed in next to him
"Sesshomaru I know it hard to lose a mother and I know what it is like to be abandoned by a father but you haven't been your father cares about you so much" she said Sesshomaru turned his head with lithe fingers she turned his face back towards her. "Your parents got a divorce long ago and your father has kept you he didn't abandon you so don't abandon him" she paused "Sesshomaru "Lady Izayoi is very kind she does not want to replace your mother she just want you two get along with Inuyasha and the new baby when its born." Rin said Sesshomaru looked away "The Sesshomaru I know never runs and hides he takes everything head on" she probed on he looked at her "I must think this all over Rin but I.. I am sorry" Rin smiled brightly "There is no need to apologies I was just so afraid of losing you" she said she hugged him. They spent the rest of the night talking.
From that day onward Sesshomaru swore to protect her but as the years went on it was harder and harder to do so. At the tender age of twelve she began to transform before his eyes from a scrawny little girl to a women who could handle her own, by fifteen she was announced to be the Kanbu of her fathers' clan. It took Sesshomaru time to adjust around her as he hit the peak of his puberty that's when he really noticed the physical changes in Rin she had developed breasts that were entirely all to noticeable to him her perfect rounded bottom always in his line of view and the seductive way she walked, he noticed it all but he knew that he could never lay a hand upon her perfection and taint her with what he had become. In her eyes he was still that boy young innocent, her protector. But he was no longer that he was a killer, he was the assassin of his clan, and was hunted by many and if Rin was with him as his lover she would be hunted to, and he would never let that happen. Even though he knew this she was always in his mind, he thought by getting a girlfriend and using her to fulfill his carnal desires they would go away, but that desire was not fueled by the women he had so it was never truly satisfied. Without even noticing he realized they were at his house a gated property with many houses surrounded by a fifteen foot protective fence.
He drove in and parked his car with all the others in the massive parking lot. He and Hiten got out of the car. They walked towards the main mansion, where they sat on the couch. Not sure what was going on Hiten turned to Sesshomaru. "So I am guessing you want to talk about Rin right." Hiten stated saying her name with confidence. Sesshomaru nodded "yes I wish to speak to you about that" he said. "Then why bring me all the way to your house man we could have talked about it over lunch or something." Hiten said rather confused by Sesshomaru's actions. "You are here because my Otousan wishes to speak to you about his matter also" Sesshomaru said as the doors opened from the adjacent entrance. Inu no Tashio walked into the sitting area.
"Hiten" He said happily "I am glad you made it back early I trust that everything went well." He said seriously this time. Hiten stood and bowed respectfully "Yes sir I took care of everything as I was told to nothing unexpected occurred." Hiten said proudly. Inu no Tashio smiled and nodded. "Yes well I had a very good report on you from one of the council members. But I trust you to always do well in your missions, I asked Sesshomaru to bring you here so that we could talk about more personal matters. Your Otousan before his untimely death asked me to watch over you, and I have come to see you as one of my own but right now you are playing a very dangerous game." Inu no Tashio said. Hiten looked at him "I don't know what you mean" the confusion apparent in his eyes.
Sesshomaru openly scoffed and his father gave him a threatening look. "You have nothing to say in this matter because you also are playing a very dangerous game far more dangerous than he is" His father retorted. "And since you want to cast the first stone I willstart with you. You are currently dating Kagura of the eastern clan you seem very involved with her and you know that Rin is her mortal enemy and one day… yes one day they will have a fight to the death that is how it will be. Do you think that playing friends with Rin while you date her enemy makes things easier on her or are you just stupid." Inu no Tashio said. Hiten snorted out a laugh at this. Inu no Tashio turned around "and you who sleeps with any one in a skirt you have actually declared you are dating Rin, do you think you could change for her, one slip up one tear that falls from her sweet face and her Otousan will murder you personally not to mention the torture Kei will put you through first." Hiten stood up "You of all people, with all due respect, you should know that one can change for the one they love, I love Rin more than anyone else in the world, I care for her beyond physical attraction she is my heart and soul and for you to insinuate that I would hurt her that is shit total bullshit. You should be more afraid if she decides to hurt me because I can guarantee that I will lose it and probably off myself." Hiten said this with such seriousness that Inu no Tashio did a double take.
"I am glad you feel that way." A voice sounded from the entrance Hiten looked up Kei stood there with a smile. "Although I would have never thought that it would be you that would steal my niece's heart, although I can tell that she has stolen both of yours." At these words Sesshomaru looked up "However I see only one of you was man enough to confront these feeling and let's hope that it will not be your down fall." Kei and Sesshomaru both bowed respectfully knowing that he was finished talking to them.
"Oh and my old friend it seems that Your son and my daughter caused a bit of trouble at school and have both received detention" Inu no Tashio shook his head "What ever happened to those two?" he asked more to himself than anyone else but Sesshomaru felt obliged to answer him "Well it seems that my younger brother was born with only a quarter of a brain" Both of the older men snickered like children. "Well boys you may go some of us have actual work to get done."
With that Sesshomaru and Hiten both walked out of the house and to their own cars, driving off as fast as they could, left to their own thoughts.

Kagome Arrived at school with fifteen minutes to spare yet she didn't care her thoughts were preoccupied with Ayame who was probably still in her room crying. Kagome knew this feeling all too well the feeling of being abandoned by the person who was supposed to stand by you. Kagome shook that though from her head. She waltzed back into the school and headed for the cafeteria. Sango and Miroku were sitting at their usual table Kagome walked right passed them pissed that they had sent Inuyasha to Ayame's house rather than going themselves. She sat down at the farthest table away from them.
"Here Kagome, you need to eat something" Bankotsu said Kagome looked at him he looked a lot like his cousin which made Kagome smile. He like his cousin Hiten had long black hair and pale skin Bankotsu eyes were very different though they were a dark blue like the dark depths of the ocean. Kagome looked at the sandwich which he tossed and her and the bottle of chocolate milk. "I can't stomach it right now" Kagome said. "You need to eat you haven't eaten in a few days I hear and plus with tryouts today and everything you really need to eat."
Kagome looked up when she got it "Damn it all to hell I forgot about tryouts Bank what am I going to do I have detention." She said hitting her forehead. "Well Kagome that sucks" he said laughing as he gentle put his arm around her and gave a reassuring hug. Inuyasha stood at the main cafeteria door Kikyo on his arm as per usual, but as he looked around the room he caught sight of Bankotsu and Kagome's intimate moment.
Kikyo looked up at him and followed his gaze their stood her little sister with that Bankotsu. "Inuyasha since you're so interested in Kagome and her doings maybe we should join her for lunch." Kikyo said slightly irritated. Inuyasha shook his head "It's not like that Kikyo and you know it, it's just that Bank well some rumors have been going around and well I just need to know if their true so I can report it back to my dad." Kikyo smiled "Well then let's find out shall we." She said as she began to walk towards the table where Kagome sat. Kagome and Bankotsu continued their conversation when Kikyo sat down, both of them stared at her. "Well if it isn't the whore of the south to what do we owe this pleasure?" Hiten said as he turned to Kagome who smiled at him. "Well I just wanted to ask you something" asked Kikyo said this Inuyasha sat down next to her earning a glare from Kagome. "If I say yes you can ask me something what I will get in return." Bankotsu asked suggestively. Kagome laughed while Inuyasha growled.
"Well I can give my consent." She said smiling. Ever one looked at her "For what?" Bankotsu asked. "Well are you dating Kagome, I mean everyone is talking right Inuyasha?" Kikyo asked looking at him, he glared back at her. What was she playing at he thought. Bankotsu shook his head. "First of all I don't need some dumbasses permission to date Kagome." He said a slight blush gracing his pale skin. "Well then if you're not dating Kagome then it must be true your gay aren't you I mean we all see how you are with Jackotsu." She said her smile fake as can be.
Kagome looked at Bankotsu anger had taken over him and he looked as if he was about to go off on her and he did not need the trouble, so Kagome decided to act. With her gentle hands she grasped Bankostu's face and tuned it towards her own she looked deep into his eyes. His heart began to race she leaned in and kissed him it was gentle at first but then the intensity was turned on as he began to respond her tongue lightly stroked his lips and then she pulled away. She turned to see the look on Kikyo's face it was one of pure shock, and when she turned amber eyes locked chocolate brown as she looked into his eyes an unknown emotion flickered through them, Kagome turned back to Bankotsu quickly whose face was also stuck with shock.
"Sure were not dating right now but trust me Bankotsu is far from being gay I can fully promise his performance is was better than your boyfriends." With that Kagome got up and began to walk away.
"See you at tryouts Kagome" Kikyo called after her. Tryouts shit Inuyasha had been so busy today he forgot, he turned to see Bankotsu staring off after Kagome, he shook his head and Inuyasha walked off to the Library when he got their he realized what had lead him hear was standing at one of the book shelves trying to get a book from the top shelf.
He stepped through the doors and like a predator after his prey he stealthily snuck up on her. "So you just whore yourself around these days right" he said. Kagome jumped and the book she had been trying to get hit her right on the head. "Damn you" She said as she turned around. He looked angry more than angry but she didn't care at all her passionate hate for him boiled within her. "So do you?" he asked his voice laden with annoyance. "Do I what you imbecile" Kagome said rubbing her head. "Whore yourself around." the anger apparent in his voice this time. Kagome whipped her hand back as if to slap him, but he grabbed a hold of it. "Answer the question" he growled out "Why does it matter to you" Kagome asked. Inuyasha moved in close his face a breath away from hers. "It doesn't matter to me at all" hesaid moving away "But the Kagome I know just doesn't do stuff like that" he said softly. Kagome looked in his eyes.
"Well I am not that girl anymore besides you should be worrying about the whore that clings to you all the time" when she said this he was filled with pain, he did not know why but he was and it pissed him off. Inuyasha stormed out of the library. Kagome watched him she felt her heart race as she recalled how close he was to her and the intensity in his eyes, but she had to clear that from her mind.
"What's got you so worked up man?" Miroku asked Inuyasha who was pacing back and forth in the locker room. Inuyasha said nothing he continued to pace. "Aww gym my favorite class," Miroku said trying to lighten the mood "Sango in body tight gym clothes playing volleyball" Miroku said visualizing it in his head. "And for Inuyasha, precious little Kagome bouncing around practicing her cheerleading" Miroku chuckled "but then again Inuyasha she is not that little anymore." Inuyasha turned and growled at him, when the whistle blew for class to start, Images of skin tight clothes on vivacious curves began to dance within Inuyasha's head.
When they stepped into the gym Inuyasha was caught by the sight of Kagome in that tight blue gym shirt hugging her perfect." Class to continue the games of which sex is better male or female by testing physical exertion we shall today see who can run the cross country mile the fastest everyone will run in groups of four. Of all the people he was stuck with it had to be her. Kagome was talking to Sango smiling and carrying on a conversation.
When they were called up to the start she looked over at him "hope you can keep up puppy" she said elated, he knew the one thing she loved was competition. Inuyasha nodded the whistle blew and they were off Inuyasha was out in front but in his peripheral vision he saw Kagome gaining on him she had finally caught up to him smiling a dazzling smile she passed him running with all her strength, the smile on her face as she passed him reminded him of when they were younger when they played all day long competing to see who was stronger, faster, or smarter. Inuyasha wasn't going to let her get away he sprinted as if his life depended on it they were neck and neck the finish line only a few yards away his heart was racing he could taste the glory.
"And time" called Astuki. "Who won" Kagome asked eagerly. Astuki looked up and sheepishly said "tie". "What I didn't hear what you said" Kagome said. Astuki looked up at her "It was a tie" Kagome did something no one expected she smiled "Some things just never change" she said and she began to walk back to the locker room. Inuyasha didn't know what to do he was stunned as he watched her walk away.
