Yin & Yang

Chapter 2: By Amyfushigiyugi

Sesshomaru stood gazing out the window not really seeing the world on the other side. His thoughts instead where turned inward. With his calm demeanor one would think he had nerves of steel and if you asked him he would tell you he did but today…. Today would prove interesting indeed. His eyes glowed molten gold from the morning sunlight that streamed in the window basking him in its soft glow. His silvery hair was tied back in a leather band, all his markings hidden from human eyes.

Sesshomaru did not even flinch as the phone on the desk behind him rang in the shrill tone he would never get used to. With a movement too quick for a normal person to see the annoying receiver was in his hand but his voice remained calm. "Tokyo University President Sesshu Taiyoukai speaking."

Miroku's eyes widened on the other side of the line `why was the president answering the phone again? It seemed when he was given the number to the college the day he was hired; he must have wound up with the president's direct line. That wasn't a good thing as far as he was concerned. When he had applied for a job at the college that man had nearly made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end with those strange eyes and all those weird questions about his past. `

" Hello, this is Miroku Masuku. The one you hired last week as advisor and tutor for Biology students. I was calling to confirm the time for the sign-ups tomorrow. 9:00 A.M. right?" Miroku fidgeted leaning against the wall while waiting for an answer.

Sesshomaru's lips tilted up at the corners hearing the nervous breaths through the receiver. "You do work here," was his cold reply.

Miroku gulped but pushed himself off of the wall he had been leaning on and squared his shoulders. "Yes, so its 9.00 A.M. thank you. I have also found my first student that will be in need of my services. I am bringing her to sign up tomorrow morning. Her name is Higurashi, Kagome Higurashi and she will be in need of a tutor after she signs up."

In truth Miroku wasn't sure she would need a tutor at all but after a couple of right placed quotes `because her grades/attendance wasn't so hot in high school' he just knew he would convince her she would need him to pass that course.

Sesshomaru's eyes hid a warm light at the miko's name. His voice remained indifferent as he answered "9 o'clock sharp," and laid the phone back on the receiver and turning back to the window. "Kagome," his voice held a hint of emotion that not many had ever heard. "Welcome back." His lips tilted up at the corners in the barest hint of a smile.

Miroku hung up the phone with his eyes instantly glazing over at the thought of tutoring Kagome-sama. "The things I can teach her," he said contently to no one right before his roommate smacked him on the side of the head.

"What the hell are you day dreaming about?" Inu Yasha shouted in Miroku's ear smirking as his friend cringed away from the sound. "It's still on for 9 o'clock, right?" Inu Yasha shook his head as Miroku instantly went back into a daze.

"Uh huh."

Kagome jerked at the sound of the alarm clock and instantly shifted the pillow from under her head to cover her head, trying to deaden the hateful sound. `Wait why is the alarm clock going off again?' Kagome frowned into the cover without opening her eyes wondering if it was a reason to unplug the stupid thing or actually get up.

"The university!!!!" Kagome nearly screeched as she sprang from the bed catching the alarm clock cord in the process and accidentally unplugging it. It landed on the floor with a bounce. "Serves you right," she muttered as she ran for the bathroom to take a shower.

Kagome still couldn't believe she had gotten a full Presidential Endowed Scholarship to go to Tokyo University. The papers had just showed up out of the blue the day after she had come home from the hospital. First seeing Miroku in her world and him not remembering her had been strange enough. Then the papers had shown up. Miroku had called her not an hour later asking if she was still going to sign up and she happily said yes.

She had left her friends in the past but it seemed that was all she could think about after seeing Miroku. She missed them all so much. "Inu Yasha," she whispered then snapped her lips shut before sinking into a depression that she didn't want to be in today. She missed them but today was not the day to dwell on the past. Today was for the future so Kagome rushed through her bath trying to block the thoughts of the past.

One hour later she was walking up the college steps with Miroku holding an umbrella over their heads, his body was pressed against hers in the small space and his hand was on the small of her back.

No matter what life Miroku lived Kagome knew he would never change as she felt his hand inching lower and lower down her back. Stiffening a little she sent him a sideways warning glance "If you don't mind Miroku…."

Miroku gave her his most innocent smile, as his hand dropped the last few inches. "Don't mind if I do at all!" he sighed happily.

Kagome's face turned beet red as she jerked the umbrella from him and left her handprint on his cheek all in one swift motion, her eyes narrowed when she noticed the smile never left his lips. If anything he seemed more at peace there with that goofy grin and handprint on his face.

With a huff she turned and walked into the building wondering how long if would take him to figure out she had left him standing in the rain.

Just inside the double glass doors Kagome stood stock still as a sense of de jevu washed over her. She covered her mouth with one hand to hide the way her lips twisted in amusement.

Turning around and looking back out at Miroku who was now looking up at the raindrops falling she couldn't help but smile. As his amethyst eyes turned to meet hers she smirked and opened the door for him as he made the mad dash out of the wetness.

Miroku came to stand right in front of Kagome looking down into her bright blue eyes feeling himself fall in and loving the feeling. As if on impulse he reached out for her hands and held them softly within his. "Kagome-sama, would you…"

Kagome's cheeks heated rapidly but she smiled anyway and not letting go of his hand she started dragging him with her, efficiently cutting off the words she knew so well. "Come on! You said you would help me sign up. Right?" she tried to distract him.

He gave a mock sigh before it settled back into an affectionate smile. "So what are you planning on taking this semester, Kagome-sama" Miroku liked the way her name rolled of his tongue.

Kagome looked at the signs with arrows on the wall leading to the right for sign-ups as she began to click off the things she was taking. "Well I am majoring in Biology and I don't want more then 12 hours since I am only a freshman so……" Kagome chewed her bottom lip for a moment "Biology, Chemistry, History of Fuedal Japan and Human Sexuality." She was pulled back as Miroku faltered in his step.

Miroku's eyes were wide open as he stared at the back of her head. "I'm sorry but did you say… human sexuality?" His head tilted a little as the possibilities swarmed threw his dirty *blink* clean mind.

Kagome slowly turned to lock eyes with him `yep there is the look, like he has his hand in the cookie jar look.'

Miroku's eyes bore into hers "I'm tutoring for the human sexuality class Kagome-sama," he took a couple of steps closer to where he was looking down into her face and deep in her eyes. "If you ever need anything explained or demonstrated just ask me."

Miroku's voice was laced with raw sexuality and his eyes seemed to become what people would call bedroom eyes. `No wonder so many girls fell for him so easily.' She gulped taking a step back feeling weak in the knees.

Kagome turned away quickly trying to fight the feeling when someone brushed past her catching her attention. As she looked around she noticed a lot of people were now showing up. A flash of silver hair caught her eye on the other side of the room but a group of chattering females cut the vision off.

Kagome turned back to say something to Miroku but his eyes was focused lower than her face. She cocked an eyebrow, twitching. Taking her finger she poked him in the nose and guided his face upward till his eyes caught hers again. "Miroku! I'm up here," Kagome huffed and stomped her foot.

Miroku's eyes came back into focus and trying to cover his blunder he took her hand gently. "Ah, Chemistry table is over here," he couldn't help but add, "also any tutoring you need on Chemistry, I would be glad to help you."

Kagome just knew Miroku's eyebrows were wiggling and with a quick glance she proved herself right. Looking back toward the table they were approaching she frowned to herself. An old, short, bald man sat behind the table with papers in front of him shifting through them and giving students some to fill out. The nameplate in front of him said Professor Myouga.

Kagome looked back to Miroku but noticed he was now glancing at the girl with the short skirt bent over the table next to them signing a paper. She blew her bangs out of her face and decided she was going to ignore the fact this little man sitting at the table had the same name as the little flea from the past. `But he does remind me of him,' Kagome shook the thought free and walked to the table.

"Sign your name." Miroku nudged her pointing at the paper. "Look, for the good time of day the class is almost full already. Mornings." When Kagome gave him a strange look he leaned in and whispered, "That way your evenings are free or tutoring or other things." He grinned from ear to ear.

Miroku reached across her taking the paper work from Professor Myouga and turned her to another table.

"Biology," Kagome smiled seeing a man sitting there that thankfully didn't remind her of anyone. She shook her head noticing Miroku was already signing her up for morning class on separate days from Chemistry. Kagome groaned, thinking about the fights she would be having with the now injured alarm clock.

Once again, letting Miroku guide her they came to another table but Kagome's gaze drifted into the masses again when she thought she had seen another flash of silver. A voice from the past jerked her eyes back to the table in shock.

"Hello Miroku, who is this lovely lady you seem to be showing the ropes?" The voice was so smooth and charming, just as she remembered.

As Miroku answered him Kagome didn't hear a word of it. Her eyes were soaking in what she thought she would never see again. Long brown hair pulled back in a high ponytail and ice blue eyes she could easily drown in, tall, slim, yet muscular body, pearly while teeth smiling that of so familiar smile.

Before rushing to Kouga and embarrassing herself by giving him a tight hug it registered somewhere in Kagome's confused brain that he didn't know her name. Then it slowly drifted to her that Miroku had given her name.

Dragging her eyes from the intense blue ones she glanced down at the paper seeing Miroku had this time signed her up for night classes `why did that sound strange? Oh yeah, human sexuality - night class.'

Kagome nodded to Kouga as Miroku practically pulled her away from the table veering to the right. Kagome had a feeling she wasn't breathing right and tried to concentrate on that upon seeing Miroku glance worriedly at her. She could feel her heart beating so hard that it drowned out all other sound.

History of Fuedal Japan was what the sign read on the table she was being propelled toward. Slowly she raised her eyes finding the teacher's back was turned. Kagome blew her breath out slowly starting to relax a little at seeing all the ebony hair, knowing at least it was a woman because no man would have hair that gorgeous and get away with it.

The teacher chose that moment to turn around and lock eyes with her and Kagome felt her world sway a little. That darkly handsome face and eyes she knew were deeper than his soul. Why was no one scared?

"Naraku," Kagome breathed as he took a step closing the distance between them. Turning quickly to run she then came face to face with Inu Yasha. "Inu…ya...sha." Kagome's world decided to melt as the lights went out.

Inu Yasha's face lost all expression when the most beautiful girl in the world, though at the moment she looked a little pale, turned around then whimpered his name as if seeing a ghost. What little color she had then quickly left her face as she swayed. "Shit," Inu Yasha dropped his papers and shot forward, grabbing her as she went limp.

"Damn crazy bitch." Inu Yasha muttered even though her body was so soft against his as he leaned her into his chest and swept her legs up in his other arm. Looking up and seeing his roommate Miroku start to reach for the girl Inu Yasha growled in warning. Then he made a face wondering why he had done that. He shrugged when Miroku backed off in defeat.

Hearing the ominous growl he had never known his friend to make unless someone was going to get hurt Miroku took a step back raising his hands up in the air as if he was under arrest.

"Ok Ok, but I helped the doctor assist her just a couple weeks ago." He lowered one hand just enough to point at Kagome. "She was in a coma for two weeks and this could very well be a set back." He said gently. "Lets take her to the student health clinic just in case ok?" He cast a worried look down at the girl being held so tightly in the wrong man's arms.

Inu Yasha tightened his hold on his possession. "What the fuck are you waiting for Miroku? Where the hell is it?" As Miroku started leading him through the crowd Inu Yasha glared at any one who dared to look in his direction.

Finally coming to the room that read Student Health Clinic, Miroku opened the door and stood to the side allowing Inu Yasha to carry Kagome to the bed against the wall.

Standing there looking down at the bed Inu Yasha was fighting the urge to keep her in his arms where she was safe. He just had this feeling that he would kill anyone who ever tried to hurt her. "Feh." He finally laid her on the bed drawing his arms back slowly, reluctantly. His golden eyes traveled across her face taking in every detail from her dark lashes fanned across her pale cheeks to her cherry red lips.

Miroku, feeling a little safer now that Inu Yasha had let go of Kagome, stepped closer and tapping Inu Yasha on the shoulder he informed his friend. "Inu Yasha, you had better go finish signing up for History of Fuedal Japan." Miroku nodded toward Kagome. "If you want to be in the same class with her I signed her up for night class."

Inu Yasha glared at Miroku with a warning in his voice "Fuck, I'll be right back so hands off pervert." He took off faster than Miroku had seen him move in quite some time.

Not really caring where the school nurse was Miroku was happy to be alone with Kagome but a little worried at the same time. Leaning down he tapped her gently on the cheek.

"Kagome? Hey Kagome sweetheart, open those pretty blue eyes for Miroku. Please?" He almost jumped out of his skin when a hand came from nowhere with a bottle of smelling salt in it. "Thank you," Miroku looked over his shoulder and froze.

Sesshomaru gave the ex-monk one of his most chilling looks, inwardly smirking when the smell of fear within the room spiked. When Miroku didn't move Sesshomaru took the smelling salt back from the still frozen hand and uncorking the bottle waved it under Kagome's nose.

`What the?' Kagome waved her hand in front of her face trying to make it go away. Realizing she was laying down she curiously opened her eyes only to come face to face with a different pair of gold eyes. From the corner of her eyes she could see Miroku smile at her but she couldn't look away from the one who held her gaze. "Sesshomaru?"
