InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Strike a Pose ❯ It's Valentine's Day! ( Chapter 18 )

Chapter Eighteen: It's Valentine's Day!

Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru paused to stare at the twins in confusion.

They were supposed to be going to school... but they were both sat, legs intertwined, on the sofa in their pyjamas watching early morning TV. They still had bed-head.

The entire downstairs of the apartment was decked from head to toe with hundreds of roses and other flowers and chocolates were spread across all the surfaces.

“What are you doing?” Sesshoumaru asked curiously.

“We don't go to school on Valentine's Day.” Kikyo replied with an adamant conviction.

Inuyasha blinked “It's Valentine's Day?”

He was ignored.

“You two probably shouldn't go into school either.” Kikyo advised sagely “You'll get mobbed, fan girls call off all rules when it comes to Valentine's Day.”

“Huh?”

“Don't tell me you've never experienced the joys of a fan club on this most prestigious day?” Kagome mocked from her seat “It's always a buzz when they try to kill each other!”

“You are being preposterous” Sesshoumaru decided.

Kagome giggled “I never get stalked, but my famous twin here has to beat guys away with a baseball bat!”

Kikyo snorted and rolled her eyes “Melodramatic much?”

“Have you seen the amount of flowers in this room?” Kagome demanded incredulously.

They all looked round then and the flowers leered back in a sinister manner.

“You are ridiculous” Sesshoumaru proclaimed.

Kagome snorted “Go then, see if I care when you get mugged by screaming fan girls!”

“Kagome! Kikyo!” Megumi appeared at the bottom of the stairs, shoving her things into her bag. “You are going to school today!”

“We are?” Kikyo sounded surprised “but you said we could have the day off!”

“That was before I realised Kagome has a French test” Megumi glowered at Kagome who smiled sheepishly back.

“I still hate Valentine's Day.” Kagome grumbled as Sesshoumaru pulled into the parking-space outside the school.

“Why?” Inuyasha asked

“It's a pointless holiday!” she exclaimed “designed by card and chocolate companies to turn a profit!”

“You are bitter because no one has ever given you chocolate.” Sesshoumaru surmised.

She started to hit him with her French book and he easily evaded her sporadic blows. Carefully backing her up until she was pressed against the passenger door, he unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the door in one fell swoop.

She toppled out of the car and onto the asphalt and glared up at Sesshoumaru to find him smirking down at her.

“Smirk all you want, I guarantee this is the best you'll feel all day” she predicted in a vindictive tone.

She was right.

The entire day he and Inuyasha were stalked by hordes of obsessed girls brandishing chocolates and shrieking their declarations of love at the two Inu brothers. They were used to attention, but this was ridiculous.

“Sesshoumaru-senpai I like you”

“I love you Sesshoumaru-senpai”

“Will you please take this as a token of my love Sesshoumaru-senpai?”

By lunch Sesshoumaru was willing to rip out all his hair and enter into the witness relocation programme for a modicum of privacy and peace.

Kagome was sat alone in the cafeteria and he could tell by the smug look on her face that she was enjoying his pain immensely.

He sat down heavily opposite her and sighed gustily.

“Where's Inuyasha?”

“I do not care; I only just managed to escape with my virtue intact.”

She giggled “Your virtue?” she looked him up and down “I would have thought you were already sullied my Lord”

“Sullied Miko? I am perfection in flesh” he smirked.

They blinked as several squeals broke out because of his smirking.

“Oh dear” Kagome sympathised as Sesshoumaru winced as their squealing hurt his sensitive ears.

“Kagome-senpai?” a new, timid male voice enquired and they both glanced to the left to see a boy in the year below Kagome stood by their table, a box of chocolates in hand.

Kagome's eyes widened in pure horror mixed with a shock.

The poor boy was quivering where he stood, not just from his embarrassment at what he had just done but also because of the scrutiny Sesshoumaru was currently putting him under.

Was it possible for a demon to reduce a human to a puddle of acidic goo with his eyes? The poor boy had a strange feeling that he was about to find out.

“Ano... thanks but I don't believe in Valentine's Day.” She smiled softly at the boy and he smiled uncertainly back as he glanced between her and Sesshoumaru.

“Are you two dating?” he asked tentatively.

Sesshoumaru's eyes sparkled with mischief as he grabbed hold of Kagome's hand across the table and glared at the human.

“Yes, we are.”

Silence consumed the cafeteria as Kagome turned the colour of a cherry. It seemed that they had all been listening to the conversation and this latest revelation had come as somewhat of a shock.

“Help me!” Inuyasha's shrieking cut into the terse silence as he burst into the cafeteria followed by a horde of squealing girls.

“What happened to him?” Kagome asked softly

“I think they caught him.” Sesshoumaru murmured as he pulled her to her feet and leant down to whisper in her ear “and now I have caught you.”

The next thing Kagome knew they were sprawled in the back of the car along the backseat, him laying slightly atop her holding himself off her by his elbows.

She scowled at him. “A car? Seriously Sesshoumaru? I thought you had more class.”

“This Sesshoumaru has class” he sneered “this is a Lamborghini”

At her outraged cry he sealed her lips with his, effectively ruining any chance of her protesting the matter any further. A deep sense of masculine pride took over as she melted into the leather seat beneath her and he pulled away for one moment.

“Happy Valentine's Day” he murmured against her collar bone.

Hands fisting in his hair she dragged him so his eyes were level with hers again “Yeah, but I don't care about Valentine's, so just shut up!”

With that, she dragged a bemused Sesshoumaru back down to her lips.

Valentine's indeed.

Meanwhile Inuyasha had locked himself in one of the janitor's closets, refusing to come out until either Kikyo or Sesshoumaru came to get him.

He had decided; he didn't like Valentine's Day.

A/N: I don't own Inuyasha. Happy Valentine's day guys! Thanks for reading and please review!
