InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Teacher's Pet ❯ Nightmare ( Chapter 14 )

 

 

I know it's been so long, but when I read over the chapter, I hated it, so me being me, I re-wrote the WHOLE chapter. Let me tell you, that was not fun at all. I'm already working on the next chapter so please bear with me. Thanks

 

PLESE READ: Last chapter I received my first flame. I have to admit, it did hurt my feelings, but then after thinking about it I only felt a deep anger, because the person who left the comment was ugly and rude. You're supposed to give constructive criticism, not put the author down. If you want to read what they said, then go to my profile.

 

 

Chapter 13 - Nightmare

 

Sesshomaru closed his eyes, as he lay alone in his bed, listening to the occasional cricket chirp outside his window. He opened one of his eyes as he felt his bed sink in; gazing above him were two frightened brown eyes.

 

“What's wrong Rin?” He muttered tiredly, sitting up in bed.

 

“I had a nightmare.” She said softly, her eyes wide and filled with fear.

 

Sesshomaru opened his arms and beckoned for her to come to him. “Want to tell me about it?”

 

Rin nodded and shifted in a comfortable position in his lap before looking up at him. “Me, you and Kagome we're watching T.V and then there was loud BOOM.” She screamed, little arms flailing out as if it was the boom. “Then a big black shadow came inside the house.” She paused not sure whether to continue.

 

He rubbed slow circles on her tiny back. “Anything else happen?”

 

She nodded, “Then the black shadow took Kagome away from us, but I could tell she didn't want to go.”

 

“How do you know that?” He questioned.

 

“She was crying and screaming out something, but I couldn't hear her, it was like,” she tried to find a word to describe it. “Like her voice got cut off and you could only see her lips moving.”

 

Sesshomaru placed Rin down beside him. “Well that's one scary dream, but I assure you Rin, Kagome is fine. She's probably in bed asleep right now.”

 

Rin pushed with all her might and made a tear drop come to her eye. It usually worked when she wanted something and she knew her father would not agree. Sesshomaru took one look into his daughter's eyes and his heart clenched, he hated that look. (1)

 

“Fine, if it makes you feel better, I'll have Kagome come over tomorrow.” He gave a bored sigh.

 

Score! Rin didn't dare show her amusement on her face, Rin one, Dad zero.

 

Not that he minded one bit having Kagome over, maybe after Rin got her playtime in he could get some of his own. Now there's an appealing thought. He smirked to himself.

 

“Can I sleep in here tonight?” She asked, already laying her head down on his pillow.

 

Nodding his head, he moved the covers over Rin and prepared himself for a night full of tiny feet kicking him in the back. (2)

 

OoOoOoO

 

 

Unfortunately Kagome didn't come early this morning and he had to wait until first period to speak with her.

 

Sesshomaru watched how Kagome occasionally leaned over to gossip with a friend of hers, and then laugh at some joke he supposed.

 

Hearing the bell ring, he waited until she had one foot out the door, before he called her back into class. “Miss Higurashi could please stay back for a minute I would like to speak with you.”

 

“What about class?” She asked watching as Sango gave her a remorseful glance, before she left towards Drama.

 

“Don't worry about that, I'll write you a pass.” His tone left no room for argument.

 

She gave a sigh of defeat and sat down at a desk in the front row of the class.

 

Kagome felt in an odd sense that this was all too familiar, him ignoring her presence, his demeanor screaming arrogance, sex, and precaution all at the same time.

 

`Yep, just like old times.' She thought as she watched his large hands write his topic for his next class on the bored. Those same exact hands that she wished were on her now, touching, teasing, and groping her body. God, she was turning into a pervert.

 

`I've been hanging out with Miroku way to long.'

 

Sesshomaru purposely ignored Kagome; loving the power he had of making her feel anxious yet nervous. He could feel her stare in the back of his head, hand, butt, back, everywhere.

 

Kagome couldn't take it anymore she was getting nervous and on top of that she was ready to pounce on top of him and kiss him senseless.

 

“Is there a reason why you asked me to stay in here?” She asked politely, yet it had a tinge of anger at the end. She did have other things to do after all.

 

“Well Miss Higurashi, your behavior today was atrocious, talking and giggling through my lesson plan, I expected more from you.” He chided.

 

Oh brother, is he serious? She put her head down in shame and nodded. Maybe it was just her, but this whole situation was a bit weird. She didn't know many girls whose boyfriend's scolded them, then again not many girls dated their teacher.

 

“I'm sorry it won't happen again.”

 

He pulled out a sheet a paper and scribbled something on it. “Here's your pass to class Miss Higurashi.”

 

She got up and walked over to his desk, not saying another word as she reached for the paper.

 

Moving the pass out of her reach he smirked. “You know I should give you a week of after school detention, but I think you would just enjoy spending that extra time with me.” He teased innocently. “So I'm going to let you pass this once, next time I won't be so nice.”

 

She bowed, still blushing at his comment. “Yes sir.” She said, reaching another time to retrieve her pass.

 

“But, you know maybe I should go over the rules with you again, because you obviously can't seem to follow them, and since you seem like the only one having a hard time comprehending them I'll have to spend some alone time with you and explain.” He handed her the pass and another sheet of paper that was addressed to her.

 

Not bothering to give another bow, she left the still smirking Sesshomaru to grade his papers.

 

Outside the classroom she looked around and opened the note.

 

`My house tonight at five.'

 

She chuckled, what in the hell did she expect, a letter of his dying love and devotion for her, no offense, but Sesshomaru just didn't seem to be the romantic type. Kagome carefully ripped the paper into tiny shreds before putting them in her back pocket. `Never can be to sure,' she thought while walking to Drama.

 

OoOoOoO

 

Walking into the classroom, she handed Mr. Myouga her pass from Sesshomaru and walked towards Sango.

 

“What happened? Did you get a detention? Was he mad?” Sango bombarded her with questions before she could even sit down all the way.

 

“He just called me after because my constant talking during his lesson.” She gave a meaningful glare at Sango. “No, I didn't get a detention and yeah, I guess he was mad.” She said, obviously not affected by Mr. Toshiro's talk with her.

 

“What happened to my sweet innocent Kagome? Now I'm left with a bad tainted devil, can I file a complaint, because I want the old Kagome back.”

 

“Shut up.”

 

“You're lucky, you got to be alone in the classroom with him and that's not even the first time, you sly dog Kagome.” Sango blissfully said.

 

“Honestly, Sango, do you actually think I would do anything with him? Maybe I'd consider it, if he didn't have that stick up his butt.”

 

Sango couldn't help but laugh, slapping Kagome playfully on the shoulder, if she only knew the truth.

 

OoOoOoO

 

Kagome lounged around her house, doing a load of wash, and straightening up the kitchen, before she wrote a note to her mother saying she had to baby sit Rin.

 

While on her walk to Sesshomaru's she ran into her favorite red head.

 

“Kagome!!,” Shippo screamed, tears running down his handsome face. Her heart immediately tightened as he gave her a giant bear hug. “I'm so sorry sweetie, I've honesty been meaning to see you, but I've been so busy.”

 

“It's ok.” He wiped the tears from his eyes, not letting go of his strong hold on her neck.

 

“No it's not ok, I promised you I would see you tomorrow and it's been a week and a half. I'll make it up to you next time I see you, I can keep that promise.” Reluctantly he pulled away and smiled.

 

“I didn't mean to cry, I was just so scared that something happened to you.” He whispered dejectedly.

 

Using all her strength not to cry, she gave him her own bear hug. “Shippo, I want you to know that you're like my little brother, and if anything would ever happen to me I wouldn't want you to cry, ok?” She asked softly.

 

He nodded trying not to cry anymore. Grabbing his hand she walked him to his mother and shook her hand.

 

“Hello Mrs. Fox, it's been such a long time since we've seen each other.” She smiled gently, and took Shippo's hand from hers.

 

“Indeed it has Kagome, how are you and your family?” The petite red head asked.

 

“They're all doing well, and how's Mr. Fox?” She asked politely.

 

“Oh just fine, he recently got a job as a police officer in the city.”

 

Kagome smiled happily, ever since Mr. Fox was laid off last year, he had been filling out job applications, but it seemed as though he could never land a good supporting job. “That's wonderful, please send my regards to him, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to run. I have a prier engagement to attend.” She leaned down again, kissing his check and giving another hug to Shippo.

 

“Be good now.”

 

He gave a goofy grin. “Aren't I always?”

 

She lifted an eyebrow.

 

“Ok, ok I'll be good.” He said laughing.

 

Kagome gave another wave and looked down at her watch.” `5:10 I'm only a bit late,' she said to herself, walking again towards Sesshomaru's house.

 

OoOoOoO

 

Kagome didn't even have time to ring the doorbell, before a small midget attached to her legs.

 

“You're alright, just like daddy said, I was so scared.”

 

“Why wouldn't I be alright?” Kagome asked confused.

 

“I had a really scary nightmare last night and you were in it and you were screaming and I was scared and daddy was-.”

 

“Slow down sweetie, how bout we go inside and talk about it?” She took Rin's smaller hand in hers and walked inside, being sure to close the door behind her.

 

Walking into the kitchen she felt her heart race at the sight of him cooking, he looked so adorable. So domestic!

 

She giggled and he gave a curious look. “What, you just remind me of a little old housewife.” She laughed when he gave her a death glare.

 

“We'll see who's laughing when you try my famous Italian chicken salad.” Sesshomaru said.

 

“I'll just have to wait and see, now won't I?” Kagome teased, guiding Rin into the living room where they could talk.

 

After telling Rin for the seventh time that nothing was going to happen to her and that it was only a bad dream, they settled down to watch some T.V.

 

“Come on you two, time to eat.” Sesshomaru called, placing a big bowl of salad on the table.

 

Rin ran into the kitchen, eager to help set the table. She carefully placed three plates and cups on the table, making sure they perfectly were lined up with each other, before putting silverware down.

 

Kagome choose the seat in the middle, at the table. Sesshomaru took the seat on the left of her and Rin was left the one on her right. Kagome had to admit Sesshomaru was a wonderful cook. The chicken was juicy and tender, with enough flavors to give a small party on her taste buds.

 

As she and Sesshomaru cleared the table, Rin skipped upstairs to take a bubble bath.

 

“I told you it was good.” He already knew she loved his chicken by the way she ate three portions of it.

 

“I guess,” she shrugged. “You could have added a bit more salt, maybe next time though.” She said, placing the two cups in her hand, in the dishwater.

 

He simply raised an eyebrow.

 

“You want to wash or dry” she asked, walking towards the pile of dirty dishes.

 

“You dry, I'll wash.” He said pulling up his sleeves and began scraping leftover food from a plate in the trash.

 

“You know next week is the Nagasaki Kunchi Festival, would you like to go,” Sesshomaru asked while handing her a plate to dry.

 

“There's gonna be a lot of people from school there, don't you think they would probably suspect something?”

 

“That's why we're going to bring Rin.” He said, already thinking ahead.

 

“Oh, well in that case I would love to.” She beamed up at him.

 

OoOoOoO

 

When Rin came back down, both Kagome and Sesshomaru, agreed to watch a movie with her before it was time for her bedtime.

 

Kagome looked at the end of the couch at a smiling Sesshomaru and a laughing Rin. Her heart skipped a beat, this was so surreal. Here she was sitting with Sesshomaru and Rin, watching a movie together, just like a family would. This was definitely something she could get used to.

 

Just imagine, having her own family.

 

OoOoOoO

 

Up in Rin's room, Kagome tucked her in, reassuring her for the eighth time that she was going to be ok. She wondered how many more times she would have to go through the same ritual until the child was convinced. Quietly sighing, she then kissed Rin's forehead goodnight.

 

Walking downstairs she found Sesshomaru reclining on the couch, flipping through the channels. Crawling on top of him she grabbed the remote from his hand and turned the T.V. off.

 

He gave her that sexy smirk that always made her body turn into a glob of goop.

 

“What are we going to do for the next hour and a half, before you have to leave?” He mused.

 

“I don't know?” Kagome said innocently, rubbing her finger across his chest.

 

“Really, I could think of a few things.”

 

He placed his lips on top of hers, moving them slowly and torturously. She grabbed strands of his hair and pulled his mouth closer, allowing his tongue to slip inside her mouth.

 

Sesshomaru ran his hand down Kagome's arm, stroking the baby soft skin. He moved his hand down to her rear, giving a gentle squeeze, causing Kagome to squeal in awe. She pulled back laughing, “You pervert.”

 

He did another squeeze and smirked, allowing his hand to wonder around a bit. “I like your butt, and it's nice and soft and round.” Kagome laughed and gave a small kiss on his lips, laying her head on his chest.

 

They both sat in silence content and relaxed. Sesshomaru looked down at Kagome; she seemed to be deep in thought. “What are you thinking about?” Sesshomaru said softly, running his hand through her hair.

 

Kagome shrugged listening to the nice calm rhythm of his heart.

 

Sesshomaru halfheartedly put his hands on Kagome's back and moved around a bit so she wouldn't notice his friend was aroused.

 

“I use to do this with my dad, when I was little.”

 

He kept silent, knowing she would continue if she felt comfortable.

 

“He died when I was ten.” With the tip of her finger, she traced a heart on Sesshomaru's chest.

 

“How?”

 

“Car accident, a guy ran a red light and T-boned him, he suffered from a broken leg and arm, two broken ribs, and some brain trauma. The doctors had told us he wasn't even supposed to live past that night, but my stubborn dad refused to die. He lasted a whole ten days; ten days that were so long and painful for my mother and me.” She closed her eyes, not wanting to bring back any painful memories.

 

“My mother stayed there day and night, the only time she left was to drop us off and pick us up from school, and even then she was terrified that something would happen if she left his side. Probably the only reason she was scared to leave was because she blamed herself for his death. She told me time and time again in the hospital if she hadn't bothered him about running to the store that it would have never happened, that he would be with us now.”

 

She missed her dad, she missed his laugh, his smile, the way he use to read her stories right before bed and even those stupid embarrassing names he would call her in front of her friends. She wished she didn't have to feel so strange and out of place when she was at other people's houses. When she noticed how they had a nice loving father, she couldn't help but feel envy and regret, regret for not knowing him as well as she would have liked. No matter what she did, no matter how hard she prayed or wished, she would never be able to do the same things as them. He wasn't there to hang out on father's day, he wasn't going to take her to the school's father daughter ball, or not even walk her down the isle in her wedding.

 

“I remember the long nights at the hospital, staying by his side to hold his hand.” Kagome let out a bitter laugh. “I would sit there like an idiot and talk to him, tell him each and every second of my day.” Sesshomaru could feel all the pain radiating off of her. “Then he died, right there, right in front of me and I couldn't do a damn thing. I froze up, all I can remember is that horrible constant beep of his heart monitor when it flat-lined, my mom's screams and me sitting there staring at my dad's pale face. It was like his chest was moving one minute then,” She had urge to sob, “The next minute it stopped and I hear that awful sound that I can't get out of my head, out of my dreams.” (2)

 

`Breathe in' She told herself.

 

“I still can't believe he's gone you know, that my father will never be able to come back to us, to hold me, to tell me how much he loves me, to just be dad,” Kagome felt a tear slide down her face. “You know at times I think I'm so selfish, I got ten wonderful years of memories from him, while Souta can barely remember what he looks like, he will never how great a man our father was.”

 

Sesshomaru sat up and cradled her, as he would do a child. Her head stayed glued to his shoulder.

 

“I still have dreams of that night, but it goes by slowly, and I still can't move, can't do a damn thing and when I wake up I always think of what if I had done something? Would he still be here toady?”

 

Sesshomaru turned her chin so he could look into her eyes. “Kagome, you couldn't have done anything, so don't you ever blame yourself. It's nobody's fault, not your mother's, or your father's; it was his time to go. You know he's probably watching you right now, watching you as you turn into a beautiful young woman.”

 

Kagome let out a teary eye smile. “Thank you.” She whispered.

 

“Anytime.” He kissed her forehead, both staying quiet until the clock chimed ten.

 

“As much as I hate to say this, but it's almost time for you to go home.”

 

Kagome nodded and gave a small kiss before leaving for home. She felt as if a ton of stress had been lifted off her shoulders.

 

OoOoOoO

 

For You to Understand:

 

(1) - Rin made herself cry, kids are notorious for doing that when they don't get their way.

 

Consuming Silence: (I'm the editor if yall didn't know) I can verify that fact cause I can fake cry like that….it works well too, unless the people around you know you well enough to see that you're faking it. Then you're probably gonna get you butt whooped or something along those lines.

 

Mrs_Sesshomaru: (just another beta) I can definitely relate! I STILL fake cry & I'm grown with a kid of my own. Nothing works like a classic! If it ain't broke, don't fix it. But I don't do it a lot, only when my other tactics don't work. So when they see tears, “real tears” lol, it's over! Me one, them zero! I'm a brat, what can I say?

 

(2) - My parents always complained when I was little and slept with them that I would kick them like CRAZY!! So I decided to put that in there!!!

 

(3) - I'm not sure what that sound is, but you know that sound the machine in the hospital makes that sound that goes `DNNNNNNNN' Ok yeah.

 

Consuming Silence:…..When a person is flat lining, the machine hooked up to their heart rate makes the sound to show that the heart has stopped. I personally hate the sound…..*:Shivers:*

 

Mrs_Sesshomaru: Yup, that would be the flat-line. I wonder if they have that noise just to freak out the family even more.

 

Chapter Notes: This is just allowing Kagome and Sesshomaru get closer on a mentally level. Kagome may seem kind of naive to you, but her father died so suddenly, and seeing her mother in pain was hard on a girl of the age of ten.

 

Author Pet Peeves: CAPTIALIZATION ERRORS!!! Lord they happen in so many stories; it's not even funny. You capitalize a name, proper nouns, book and movie titles, religions, nationality and the beginning of a sentence. (I could go on) When did we learn this, fourth grade? Come on people, you should know better. It's like some authors have GREAT stories and punctuation is PERFECT, but then we get to capitalization. Example: “Inuyasha, why is your problem? can you do anything right?” Is it SO hard to press shift and a letter or CAPS LOCK. Jessh now that I got that out the way, it's time to go.

 

Mrs_Sesshomaru: You are bananas! I have had stories that I actually stopped reading because the grammar & punctuation was so bad. It was like I had to translate English in order to get what the author was talking about.

 

REVIEW PLEASE!!!!!!
