Chapter 2

*beep beep beep beep*

 

“Five more minutes mom please,” Kagome whined. When she got no response she sat up and wiped her eyes and realized she was not in her mothers home, but in fact in her own apartment, alone. “Hmmm, it's 9:30, guess I should get up and get ready for class.” Kagome Higurashi, 20 yr. old freshmen at Kobe University, was majoring in history and very anxious to attend her first class with Mr. Tanigaya. She had never seen the man but had heard many rumors that he was as ruthless as he was handsome. Kagome had never really taken an interest in a man for years, not since she left the Sengoku period three years ago. She hadn't wanted to be interested in anyone since then, not because she was heartbroken, but just because she was tired. “Oh well, let's get a move on eh?” Kagome announced to an empty room. Twenty minutes later Kagome had taken a shower, dressed and was sitting down to breakfast. With one more swig of her orange juice, she was off to class.

 

Kagome arrived at room 419 and walked in quietly. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but something was off. `It couldn't be a demon could it?' she said to herself. She sat in the middle of the room and almost went into a trance. She had to focus so she could figure out if it was actually a demon or not. Three years of not using her miko abilities had hindered them somewhat. Off in the distance she could hear her teacher, Mr. Tanigaya speaking, what he was saying, she didn't know. `There! I feel it, it's slight but I can feel it! There is a demon here, but who?' Just as Kagome had come to this realization, she noticed her teacher had gotten up and was walking around the room passing out his syllabus for the year. He finally arrived at her desk and she just stared down blankly, trying to figure out where the demon aura was coming from. Just as Mr. Tanigaya put her syllabus in from of her, she noticed that his fingernails were nicely manicured, almost too nicely. `Almost like claws!' she shouted in her mind.

 

When her teacher continued onto his other students, Kagome calmed down a little. `My mind must be playing tricks on me. There is no way a demon would be a teacher, mine at that!' Kagome continued to ramble on in her head, but the more she rambled the more she realized that maybe her teacher was a demon after all, she just needed to look closer at him and focus on his aura. She stared at him for a few moments. When he looked up and noticed her staring at him, time seemed to stop still for her. Silver hair, `no this can't be' an arrogant face, `not him' and gorgeous amber eyes “Sesshomaru!”

 

“Yes Ms. Higurashi, that is my name, but I prefer that you use my proper title, Mr. Tanigaya. Is there something you need?”

 

Thoroughly embarrassed, Kagome timidly shook her head and apologized for her outburst. `How did he slip by me?' She then remotely remembered that she had felt a strong demonic aura about a year ago. Come to think of it, she was walking past this campus when she felt it. She just shrugged it off though and just thought she was being paranoid. `Oh no, what have I gotten myself into? No wonder everyone says he's ruthless, if they only knew him back in the Sengoku.' Although still slightly embarrassed, Kagome managed to get through her first class. Though she was mostly reliving her past, she did hear Sesshomaru speaking every now and then. An hour and a half later the bell rang. Yanked out of her dreaming by yet another bell, Kagome rushed to get her things together. She most certainly did not want to be left alone with her teacher, however she wasn't so lucky.

 

“Ms. Higurashi, may I have a word with you please? ”
