Flying Lessons

~Kagome's POV~

Sesshoumaru might seem cold and evil, but after you know him for a while, he really isn't
that bad. I am really beginning to doubt my right choice of houses. Kikyou is continually pulling
pranks, making everyone think I'm the one. Why in the world does Kikyou have to look like my
mirror image? Isn't life bad enough for me already?
Actually it doesn't really matter what others think of me, as long as Sango is with me. But
for some reason I really care about how Kurama sees me. Speaking of that, he never explained to
me why he told me his name was Kurama, when all the teachers call him Shuichi. I'll probably
never find out.
I spotted Sesshoumaru sitting at the Slytherin table with girls from all houses crowding
around him. Maybe I should save him from the torture, or not. I quickly turned away as boys
started walking toward me, minus the Gryffindor boys. I quickly managed to plop down next to
the seat Sesshoumaru saved me. I could feel all the girls glare on me, the most intense one
belonging to Kikyou and her group of friends.
"It's just so peaceful here isn't it?" I asked Sesshoumaru sarcastically.
Sesshoumaru turned toward me and stated emotionlessly. "It sure is, I haven't felt this
happy in my life." Never mind, talking to Sesshoumaru is still like talking to an ice-cube. I don't
know how much more of this I can take, at least nothing can get worse. Or not. Malfoy just
seated himself right next to me, giving me that lustful look again, and smirked.
I rolled my eyes, and motioned for Sango to come to my rescue. Sango walked over and
glared at Malfoy. "Move."
"What if I don't?" asked Malfoy with a air of superiority. Sango smiled again, grabbed
Malfoy by the ears and pulled him away from me.
"I think you need a personal body guard." stated Sango with a small smirk, glancing at the
boys.
"Your telling me." I stated with a tone of annoyance.
"Then I'll take the kob." stated Sango happily. "In addition to being your best friend, I'll
be your body guard, advisor, and matchmaker."
"WHAT!" I screamed, and quickly covered my mouth and whispered. "Who gave you
that right?"
"I did." stated Sango happily. I groaned and buried myself in my food. That was when
owls swooped in, again.

~Kurama's POV~


I had been watching Kagome from the corner of my eye, though I don't know why I'm
doing this. I noticed Winter was being even more protective of Kagome, following her to every
class, and everywhere imaginable. Not to mention the fact that Yoko seems to spend most of his
time with Kagome too. It seems as if Kagome is a magnet for animals.
The school owlery seems more fond of her that everyone else. Why am I thinking about
her again? After a while, owls swooped in, dropping packages and letters. Neville received a
small ball, that I identified as a rememberall. That was when Malfoy and his lackeys showed up
and snatched the ball from Neville, and started taunting him.
I had enough of the way Slytherins treated us, and jinxed Malfoy. Grabbed the
rememberall, and returned it to Neville. Then I left with my house to the field for flying lessons.
Just our luck, flying lessons with Slytherin. I was surprised when Malfoy showed up, the jinx I
did was quite complicated. I wonder how he got out of it.
"Okay class, I'm madam Hooch, step up to your brooms and say up." We did as we were
told.
"Up." we all shouted. My flew into my hands with ease, like Harry's. Ron was having a
bit of trouble, same with Neville and the others. I glanced at the Slytherins. Malfoy was just
having a handful too, but Sesshoumaru and Kagome managed to do it with ease. Currently
Kagome was trying to get Sesshoumaru to talk, but he just nodded his head. I felt the sharp pain
in my heart, again.
"Mount your brooms, and kick off when I blow the whistle." stated Madam Hooch.
Neville lost control of his broom and zoomed high into the air, dropping down, and was sent to
the hospital wings. Malfoy had the rememberall that belonged to Neville, and mounted his
broom.
Harry quickly mounted his, and shouted for Malfoy to drop it. That was when I noticed
Goyal and Crabbe getting on their brooms, and attempting to knock Harry down.

~Kagome's POV~

I immediately knew what Malfoy and his friends were trying to do. I couldn't allow this
to happen, and quickly mounted my broom and zoomed up on top speed. I quickly grabbed Harry
out of the way before Crabbe punched, and he just barely missed me. I could hear shouting at the
bottom, but I couldn't make out what they were saying.

~Sesshoumaru's POV~

What does Kagome think she is doing? I watched as Crabbe nearly pummeled her. I
couldn't watch anymore, though I knew Professor Snape, Professor McGonagall, and Madam
Hooch were here, I mounted my broom. "Get down now!" I heard the teachers shout, but it didn't
matter right now.

~Kurama's POV~

I couldn't just stand there and watch as this chase kept up. I grabbed the broom, not
caring if I get expelled, and mounted. I never knew I could fly this fast, but then I noticed
Sesshoumaru was also in the air. What is he doing up here? I had no time to think about this,
when Harry was falling, from bumping into Malfoy. I sped up and caught Harry midway, as
Kagome stopped Malfoy from falling to his death.
Crabbe and Goyle were trying to save their Master, but when Kagome caught Malfoy, the
big oafs couldn't stop and pushed her off the broom accidently. I could feel my heartbeat stop
and tried my best to reach her in time, but I couldn't make it, I was to far away.
That was when a white blur snatched Kagome and landed safely on the ground. It was
Sesshoumaru, and I could hear his voice. "Don't do that again! If you die, who am I suppose to
argue with?"
"Sorry." apologized Kagome, giving Sesshoumaru a bright smile. I quickly landed with
Harry and walked up to Kagome.
"Are you okay?" I asked softly. Kagome nodded her head.
"Okay, that's it!" screeched McGonagall. "Harry, and Shuichi, you two come with me.
Snape, I'll leave your house to you." Then she walked away with me and Harry following.

~Kagome's POV~

I hope Harry and Kurama will be okay. "Higurashi, Taisho, Malfoy, and you two
buffoons, come with me." snarled Snape. Oh well, the worst that can happen is that I get
expelled. But then Sesshoumaru would get expelled because of me, I felt horrible.
Snape turned to us when we were out of the fields and stated. "Malfoy, and you two
buffoons can go. You two, follow me." So we continued to follow Snape in silence, though I
shared a glance with Sesshoumaru. His face was impassive again.

~Sesshoumaru's POV~

Why did I do that? It doesn't matter anymore, what's done is done. It doesn't really
matter if I get expelled, father probably wouldn't even care. We stopped when Snape suddenly
grabbed a student from the Herbology class. "Here, is your seeker." stated Snape, pointing to me,
"and here is your new keeper. Get rid of the other one." pointing to Kagome.
Guess we're selected for Quidditch. It has been so long since a first year was allowed to
play in the game. I could hear Kagome groan, and couldn't smirk.

~Kurama's POV~

I thought we were both in for it, but I was surprised when we stopped at the Defense
Against the Dark Arts class. "This is Oliver Wood." introduced McGonagall. "He is the
Gryffindor Quidditch captain."
"Wood, I found your seeker." stated McGonagall, pointing to Harry, "and a someone to
take Alicia Spinnets place. She wanted to quite, didn't she?"
"Yes, Professor." stated Oliver, "they're first years, aren't they?"
"Yes, but their extremely good."
"Then they must be great excellent to be allowed to play in their first years!" exclaimed
Wood excitedly. "I'll tell you more about the game tomorrow at break."
I knew I should feel happiness for making the team, but I feel as empty as a black hole.
The image of Sesshoumaru catching Kagome kept on flashing through my mind. I told Harry to
go on to tell Ron the good news, I need some time to think alone. I slowly trudged to the school
garden, where I feel the safest. I looked at the flowers, as the blazing sun showed them with his
rays.
The flowers lean toward me, I knelt down, and sped the blooming of some of the flowers.
I closed my eyes, and tried to enjoy the peace. For some strange reason I had the urge to sing out
my feelings.

*Yorusora ga hiraku koro
Matataku ake no hoshi*

Kagome walked toward the source and stopped in her tracks when she noticed the outline of
Kurama. Kagome stayed hidden in the shadows, and listened in on him.

*Yami ni ikite 'ta ore no kokoro ni
Tomotta yume no you sa*

I had been hiding my past from everyone, even my mother. I had no friends, because I was
different.

*---------wasurnai
Tozasareta kono mune wo aketa kimi wo*

Kagome, you were the first friend I had ever had. I finally had someone to tell my problems too.

*Kyou no sayonara wa mirai no hajimari
Yuku michi ga ima wa betsu to shite mo
Tsuku basho wa hitotsu...*

But all this was a lie. It is time to say our farewells, and forget about each other, but I can't bring
myself to do it.

Sango had stopped to listen also, she had been following Kagome, because she wasn't her usual
self.

*Deatta koto sae mo
Kiseki to yobeba ii*

Then why had we met and became friends in the first place? Is fate playing with me?

*Tomo ni hashitta tsukihi wo subete
Hokori ni dekiru kara*

Even though our time together was short, and everything was a lie, I still felt the happiness. I'm
not really sure I want to forget the time we spent together.


*-------arukidasu
Kono mune no kienu hoshi tsurete iku yo*

Sango was glancing between Shuichi's sad expression to Kagome tear streaked face.

*Kitto sayonara wa piriodo ja nai sa
Eien no saka wo nobotte yukeba
Kiki to mata aeru....*

But maybe there is still a chance? I might not have to say goodbye, but who am I kidding? We
are enemies now, and you have deceived me.

*Kyou no sayonara wa mirai no hajimari
Kokoro nara ore wa soba ni iru sa*

Maybe I should put the past behind me and start over again new tomorrow. But I know I will
never be able to truly forget our short friendship.

*Kitto sayonara wa pirioda janai sa
Yuku michi ga ima wa betsu to shite mo
Tsuku basho wa hitotsu*

"Kurama." whispered Kagome. Sango looked confused, Kurama?

*Sou sa Sayonara wa subete no hajimari
Dare mo mina tabi no tochuu dakara*

Okay, I am going to solve things here. Thought Sango firmly. Things aren't right here.

Sou sa Sayonara wa piriodo ja nai sa
Eien no saka wo nobotte yukeba
Itsu ka mata aeru...*

I hope that one day that you will change, and that we can become friends once more.

~Author's POV~

Kagome quickly crept away, followed by Sango, then Kurama. Kurama still didn't know
that Kagome and Sango had been listening in on him. Halfway through the hall, Sango grabbed
Kagome and pulled her into an empty room. "Spill girl, everything." Kagome nodded her head at
the look Sango was giving her.
Kurama stopped walking when he heard voices in an unused room. He noticed the voice
belonged to Kagome and her friend, and couldn't help but listen in with his acute hearing.
"I wouldn't usually be this nosy, but Kagome why are you in Slytherin?" asked Sango.
Kurama tensed outside, awaiting the answer he wanted so much. "I wanted to be in it."
stated Kagome as tears continued to fall.
"Why?" asked Sango throughly confused now.
"The hat told me the best place for me was Gryffindor, and that even Ravenclaw and
Hufflepuff would have suited me better." stated Kagome, avoiding Sango's question.
"Kagome." said Sango in a warning voice.
"Okay, oaky." stated Kagome. "I just wanted to investigate who my father was."
"But why in Slytherin?"
"Sango, just drop it okay? I don't want to talk about it."
"Fine, but is it true that you did all those pranks?"
"Of course not!" exclaimed Kagome. "Kikyou plots them every night, and I can't do a
thing about them."
"So its Kikyou? Then why don't you say so?"
"Who would believe me? Kikyou looks exactly like me, and her point was to make it
look like I did it. It would just make it look like I was trying to push things onto Kikyou."
"Last question." promised Sango. "Who is Kurama? I heard you murmuring his name in
the garden while crying."
Kurama was shocked to hear all these confessions from outside, and relived, not to
mention guilty. Kurama's ears pricked up when the topic changed to him.
"Kurama is...um..is...uh....he...was." stuttered Kagome.
"Oh Kagome, what's wrong with you? You already told me your secrets, and your
stuttering over a name?"
Before Kagome could say another word, the door swung open. Kurama was standing in
the doorway. "I am."

Review Responses:

Geminia: That's what I'm planning to do, but they will be consider as sequels. Kagome being in
a different house will be debated on more when I reach near the end. ^_^

crimsonseer: I'll try to make it fluffier, but you'll just have to wait. I need to sort everything out
first, kinda. Update yours soon too, I'm getting quite impatient. Though I'm still not allowed to
review any fics! v_v

Kagome+Kurama4ever: I read your fics, and they were great, but the stupid review button
wouldn't work! v_v

Sunstar-1217: As usual, I'll go by majority votes, and I don't plan for Kagome and Kurama to
stay enemies. That would just be way to sad.

Jessy: Thanks for the vote and review, and Kag/Kur stories are rare. Maybe you can go read my
new one, its also Kak/Kur.

Itazura-chan: I wrote more, but I think I'll be in bed the rest of today. Hope you enjoyed this
chapter.

Jaymalee: Okay, I just made him learn the truth. I'll try to bring them together the next chapter,
okay? Finally someone isn't mad at me for putting Kagome in Slytherin! Yes, and I hate the
Slytherin students a lot too. I put Sango in Hufflepuff, because they are known for their loyalty
to friends. I promise I won't her Sesshoumaru's feelings, and Kagome being Voldemort's
daughter, well let's just say, don't tell anyone, blood related. Why? Find out for yourslef.

Mizu: I'll let Kagome and Kurama have some time together next chapter, okay? And I won't
make life that cruel either, so don't worry.

Michelle: Thanks for reviewing, and I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
