Chapter 1

He pushed his silver rimmed glasses back into place; he only wore them because they made him seem more human. Filthy humans, he mumbled to himself, and then smirked as that thought brought back a memory of a spitfire of a girl with an arrow pulled taunt ready to defend her friends if the need had arisen. How he missed those days, when he didn't have to blend in with humans and become a part of their daily lives.

 

“Mr. Tanigaya? Hello?? Mr. Tanigaya???”

 

Sesshomaru sniffed, what is that smell? It seems so familiar. It took him a moment to realize that one of his students had approached his desk and was babbling on about some odd question that she couldn't understand on a trivial test. But that smell, it wasn't coming from her, he hadn't smelled that in years. He thought he had avoided her, thought he had moved far enough away from her to secure his status as a human teacher. Why is she here? He watched as she quietly took a seat near the middle of the class, no doubt she did not recognize his last name, nor had she recognized him yet.

 

“Ms. Misoka, why don't you ask one of your fellow students for help? I'm sure Mr. Ako would be more than happy to help you.” He watched as Ami Misoka pouted and walked to the boy in question, no doubt she was trying to get in his pants just like all the other female students. Sesshomaru glanced around his room and found her. She hasn't changed a bit. Of course she hasn't, it's only been a couple years for her. Looking back at his watch, Sesshomaru decided he had a little more time to ponder on the past, and now his present situation with a quiet student in the middle of his classroom that hadn't noticed who her teacher was yet. I should have guessed she would be a History major. It probably comes in handy to have lived the past, seen the demons, watched the history of today unfold before your eyes. He should know, he created much of that history for her.

 

*Ring Ring*

 

“Good morning class and welcome to freshmen year. I hope you have all enjoyed your summer vacation and are ready to work. My name is Mr. Tanigaya and you will have the pleasure of seeing my face every day for the next couple of months. Lets get started then shall we?” He passed out his syllabus for the year and chuckled darkly inside as he watched many of his students faces pale. Finally he got to her seat, she hadn't looked up and somehow she still hadn't recognized him. He placed the syllabus on her desk and began to think that maybe he had gotten the smell wrong; maybe this girl was a cousin or something that shared the same scent. Then he heard her heartbeat pick up its pace and smelt the fear coming off of her. Then he knew, this was the right girl, maybe she was just having doubts about who he was. Nevertheless, he continued on handing out his syllabus to each of his students and returned to his desk. He got the feeling he was being looked at, not just a normal stare, but really being looked at. Sesshomaru looked up and saw she was starring at him with those big brown eyes of hers, confusion clearly written all over her face. She has no idea what she has gotten herself into, but I'll make sure she does soon enough, he thought to himself while smirking.
