Chapter 13: Fan Girls Anyone?

It was the kind of lazy Sunday when no one was willing to do much of anything. The newly extended Higurashi family, bar Megumi who was on business in Paris, sprawled themselves out in the front room.

Sesshoumaru was reading some very complicated book written in English, which confused them to no end; Kagome was sat on the floor braiding Rin's hair into a French plait whilst Rin watched cartoons; Kikyo was sat on a chair and calmly practising her cello for her up and coming recital and Inuyasha was alternating between watching the cartoons, watching Kikyo and attempting to wind Sesshoumaru up.

Finishing Rin's hair Kagome picked up Sesshoumaru's discarded newspaper and perused it for the crossword. But something she saw amused her even more.

“Kagura has been dropped from her modelling agency” Kagome announced to the room “and Naraku has been having some trouble getting a gig” she grinned impishly

“They will recover” Sesshoumaru intoned

Kagome gave him a surprised look “Of course they will. I never intended to ruin them, merely warn them off”

Sesshoumaru raised a brow and Kagome rolled her eyes. She turned back to her crossword and the room quietened into the comfortable silence of friends and family.

But only for a short while.

Kagome let out a tiny shriek and then started to laugh manically whilst the others merely watched in shock, each wondering if she had finally cracked and lost her mind.

“It's today!” she chuckled once she could breathe again

“What's today wench?” Inuyasha asked

“Today is the day that Sesshoumaru's `seductive' billboard gets hung” she paused “over there” she pointed at the building “and in other random locations in the city”

This time, when she dissolved into giggles Inuyasha joined her, Kikyo following soon after and finally Rin fell at the expression on the Inu's face. He regarded them haughtily and glanced with barely concealed fury at where his likeness would soon be hung.

***

It didn't take long for the storm to hit. Kagome, Sesshoumaru and Rin had decided that seeing as Inuyasha at as though his stomach was a void they needed more food. And so, armed with money and hopefully some food-shopping sense, they braved the streets of the city whilst Sesshoumaru's likeness smouldered down on them.

Needless to say Sesshoumaru was perhaps not in the best of moods.

They had only been out for around an hour when the whispering started. The people, females more noticeably, had begun to recognise him from the billboard.

Soon the whispers became too loud to ignore and Kagome wisely chose to leave the shop lest Sesshoumaru destroy it.

They hurried home, flocks of women pausing to stop and stare on the way and when they finally got back to the apartment Inuyasha nearly killed himself laughing at his half-brother's dilemma.

Sesshoumaru was beyond homicidal and, after knocking Inuyasha out cold, he retreated to his bedroom with a look that forbade following.

“He's gonna kill us” Kagome noted

“He does seem rather angry” Kikyo commented as she checked that Inuyasha was still breathing.

***

It didn't get much better, in fact it got worse. Soon Sesshoumaru was being stalked by `inconspicuous' women and when the article came out in the magazines using the same photograph he was practically mobbed wherever he went.

But it seemed the worst was yet to come, the swimwear advertisement was put out and they had no choice but to go outside and attend school.

In school the whispering and the stalking grew worse, some even started to take covert pictures of him.

Kagome wandered through the corridors with little care, she was gleeful that Sesshoumaru was so angry about the fan girls stalking him and loved watching the expressions of horror flit across his face. She turned down the corridor that led to the lockers; she had forgotten her chemistry notebook.

As she entered the locker area she paid little attention towards the group of girls, all in the year above her, that were stood near Sesshoumaru's locker.

Blithely she opened her locker, retrieved her book and turned to leave. Only to be stopped by a hand on her arm that shoved her back into the row of lockers.

“You're the one who lives with Sesshoumaru-sama right?”

“Yeah right” she ventured hesitantly

“Hmph” the one who appeared to be the spokes person fixed her with a haughty glare. Kagome frowned at her, she thought her name was, Abi, Aki or Ami... something like that.

“So um... are you going to let go now?” she asked glancing meaningfully at the arm they were holding hostage.

“What makes her so special” the second girl was disgruntled.

“Nothing” Ami, for that was her name Kagome remembered, tossed her hair “She's not special at all, just marginally lucky. I bet Sesshoumaru-sama never even gives her a second look”

Kagome rolled her eyes at the three obnoxious girls, whilst the third had yet to speak the glare she was giving Kagome was a most unwelcome present.

Ami caught the expression and smiled sadistically “and if he is paying any attention to you it's obvious that it was because he was frustrated and you were there. Easy access you know. He's a demon and you can tell by looking at him he has high standards, you're just a plaything. He'll throw you away when he's had enough”

Kagome pursed her lips and raised a brow “Do I care?”

Ami laughed, it wasn't a pleasant sound “Besides” she glanced won meaningfully at Kagome's thighs “any attention you're getting is pity, you aren't exactly skinny, are you?”

Kagome flinched, though she tried desperately not to. These people, people like Ami, knew how to hit her insecurities on the head. She glowered at Ami as she tried to figure out what to do. She wanted to get away from them, but they had yet to relinquish their grip on her, their sharp nails digging in to the soft skin of her arms.

These girls were all waifs thin and scarily pointy with elbows that could probably blind a person.

“Hn” Sesshoumaru's cold voice cut across the group of girls.

“Sesshoumaru-sama!” the girls chorused happily and Kagome rolled her eyes

“You think that being skinny is desirable?” Sesshoumaru questioned as he pulled Kagome from them and held her to his side “I am Inu” he declared “we prefer a shapely ass,” his smirk turned sensually sadistic “it is no fun to have bones digging into you whilst you are trying to rut”

And, with that, he left the three girls to stare open mouthed at his back as he walked away with Kagome in tow.”Did you just dismiss them using the term `rutting'?” she queried

He smirked “It would seem so”

***

At the end of the day Sesshoumaru dragged Kagome out of the damnable building without bothering to wait for Inuyasha.

When she had protested he had told her the he had given Inuyasha the car keys and that they wee walking. They took the scenic route and the lesser travelled path coupled with Kagome's presence and soothing scent calmed him down enough that he was actually able to engage in some banter with the Miko.

“It's nice to see you less liable to rip my head off” she commented

“It's nice to be in the company of someone who is not insipid” he replied

She rolled her eyes “I'm gonna take the sight hint of a compliment in that sentence and put it in my scrapbook” she promised

“You are wise to do so, I rarely give even hinted compliments” he smirked

She put a hand to her forehead and mock swooned “I'm honoured”

“So you should be” he acknowledged and then grinned wolfishly as she punched his arm.

They eventually approached the apartment, only to stop stock still in horror.

“Oh god” she murmured “they know where we live?”

“Brilliant” he muttered acerbically.

And suddenly the fan girls were upon them, Kagome tried to keep sight of Sesshoumaru only to be pushed out of the way by one overly zealous fan girl. She winced as she realised she was going to fall over and braced herself for impact.

An impact that never came.

She opened eyes that she didn't recollect closing to spy none other than Hojo.

“Hello Kagome” he crooned

“Hey, thanks for catching me” she said as he helped her stand up right she glanced at the mob that had formed around her demon friend “how come you aren't attracting attention?”

“They're preoccupied” he shrugged nonplussed “It's strange your demon friend let them try to hurt you”

“He didn't let them do anything, he's really not in control” she shrugged glancing worriedly back at the group

Hojo shook his head “Trust me Kagome-chan, guys like that can have fan girls obeying their every whim in seconds, he could have helped you”

“Doubt it” she shook her head “he hates attention and really doesn't flaunt himself”

Hojo laughed and narrowed his eyes “I doubt that very much, he is a demon they constantly use their attributes to their advantage.”

Kagome didn't feel very comfortable with the Sesshoumaru bashing session that seemed to be going on so she steered the conversation away from him “So, what are you doing here, Hojo-kun?”

He smiled sincerely “I just came to say hi and invite you out for coffee” he said

“Whatever your plans are with the Miko they are to be cancelled” Sesshoumaru, apparently free from his mob, popped into the conversation before Kagome could collect herself enough to form an answer. Without waiting for Kagome to do anything or say goodbye, the irritated dog demon swept her up and held her as one would a baby before disappearing into the building.

The fan girls sighed wistfully.

“What I wouldn't give to be held bridal style”

“Pity he has a girlfriend”

“Maybe we should tone it down a little if he's involved with someone”

“Yeah”

***

Much to Sesshoumaru's delight the hype seemed to die down over the next few days and he began to relax into his previous routine. Sure they still stalked him, he still encouraged stares and whispering, but he was no longer mobbed by crowds of fan girls.

All was calm and seemingly quiet as the strange family relaxed again.

Until one Hanyou broke the peace and quiet.

He hurtled through the front door and they stared at him in collective shock as he collapsed onto the floor panting heavily.

“What happened to him?” Kagome asked as she toed the fallen Hanyou's head.

“It's his turn” Sesshoumaru replied as he plucked a rose from the Hanyou's hair and grinned sadistically.

***

Another was also grinning sadistically at this time, but for a different, less benign, reason. Cruel eyes glared up at the apartment building and an oath of revenge on the four teenagers dwelling within was uttered to the wind.

They would soon see what the one they took for a fool was capable of.
