HEARTLESS

Chap 15

Next day….

Kagura was 30 minutes early to class; sitting in an empty classroom trying to figure out what happened to her yesterday; did they drug her? If so why? She frowned trying to figure it out. She took her glasses off rubbing her eyes. Who were those girls? Kagura did not remember ever seeing them at school before. What if it was not the girl’s; maybe some psycho had tampered with the drink; after all, ‘it had been done before.’thought Kagura remembering that the drink had been unopened, something was not right.

In addition, she had to talk to Yura about Muso remembering what he told her last night.

xxxxFlashback

“You did what!” yelled Kagura outraged. “How could you do that to my friend?”

Muso looked at her sheepishly one hand going behind his head in thought. “Look because of her I was put on desk duty and she turns around and makes light of it.”

“That does not give you the right to call her names, how would you feel if someone said that to me or…Rachel?”

“I would beat the living daylights out of him.” Muso told her frowning.

Kagura rolled her eyes.

“…she was looking at me like I was a piece of meat!” He told her getting annoyed at her constant defense of her friend. “Plus I’m your brother you’re supposed to be on my side!”

“Brother or not brother! You deserve to be slapped and thrown out!”

“I don’t like that girl, she’s a flirt and only gets away with it because she is some rich mans daughter!” He shouted walking away from her.

“Whatever, you will apologize to her Muso.”

~~~~~

A shadow interrupted Kagura from her musing.

“Here.” Said a jaded voice before her glasses where set on the desk.

Kagura gave him an annoyed look before mumbling a “Thanks.”

Sesshomaru stood there looking at her trying to figure out her mood.

Kagura ignored him; Sesshomaru hated when people ignored him. ‘How dare she ignore this Sesshomaru!’ he thought giving her a hard look and was about to reach for her but changed his mind when she mentioned. “If you value your family jewels you will leave me alone Tashiotaka.”

Sesshomaru grimace in remembrance of yesterday’s ball twister and took a step back. “You act as if you don’t like me Kagura…but you enjoy the games we play.” He said smugly.

“Game? Is that what this is to you… a game?” she asked him sounding disappointed.
Kagura closed her eyes, taking a deep breath not expecting an answer she asked, “What do you want from me?”

Sesshomaru fought an amused smile at her frustration before he blinked regaining his cold composure and before he could stop himself, he told her in a low whisper. “A date.” ‘What’s wrong with you? Asking her out has if you are some lovesick teenager your Sesshomaru Inu Tashiotaka the II, you do not chase women they chase you.’ said an inner voice.

Kagura blinked in disbelieve failing to see the look of surprise that cross Sesshomaru’s face. “A…d date? You want to go on a date with me?” she asked him before narrowing her eyes at him. “I’m not here for your amusement you son of a bitch so stop playing with me, comedy is not your strong suit.”

“I’m serious.”

“I…We—ll, ugh…you…said…” Kagura mumbled with disbelieve. ‘A date! With me? Oh my god I can believe it!’ she screamed inside her head with excitement unable to give him an answer.

Sesshomaru misunderstanding her reaction and unable to control his mouth blurred out. “Look I won’t try anything ok? My little sister will be with us.” He told her some what dumb founded. ‘Have you lost your mind?’ he asked himself.

Kagura frowned. “Your… sister? Why would she be there?”

“There’s a Festival this weekend, which I’m taking her to and…well do you want to go?” he finished impatiently this was all new to him and very vexing, him being the one to explain why he was asking her out. He frowned unconsciously putting his hands in his pants pockets.

The always so confident Sesshomaru seemed lost for words this made Kagura curious. “Where is this festival being held at?”

“My family’s ancestral home in the Western Lands….”

Kagura blinked ‘WOW!’ before asking. “What makes me so special? I am sure you got hoards of girls just clamoring to go with you. There is the future Mrs. Tashiotaka I am sure she would not like me going to her future home, we girls do not like to share; I assume there is a future Mrs. Tashiotaka already picked out for you. ” referring to the practice done by the rich families of Japan.

‘Kagura you are an idiot.’ An inner voice that sounded a lot like Yura told her. ‘Why are you asking these dumb questions? Just say yes already!’

“I don’t want to take them.” He muttered arrogantly. “And you assumed wrong, there already is a lady Tashiotaka and her positioned is secured but in the future she will expect me to provide her with a daughter-in-law of my choice that will bless her with lots of grandchildren.

Her voice laced with sarcasm. “Great… a walking, talking uterus…how exciting for you!” then she asked. “Why? Me?”

“Why not you?” he countered.

“Well you’re…a popular and I'm the charity case.”

“I think you got me all wrong; I want to take you, let you see a different side of me...you know how sweet I can be.” He told her with a straight face. ‘That was cheesy.’

“Sweet… You? A legend in your own mind.” she laughed. ‘There is not enough sugar in this planet’ she thought looking at him suspiciously.

He ignored her teasing. “I feel that I owe you an apology for my behavior.” He told her in a bored voice. “Maybe change your assumption of me.” ‘Why are you humbling yourself to this peasant?’ asked his inner voice.

“Well you apologized for your behavior already, plus I got the feeling that you’re going to have to do it again and again.” She laughed remembering his apology for the way he treated her at the country club.

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at her. “Are you rejecting me?” he asked in a cold voice.

Kagura raised an eyebrow. “Heavens no…see that’s what I’m talking about, you’re getting your panties in a bunch…that superiority complex is coming out, your going to do or say something to insult me! You will be apologizing to me again.”

Sesshomaru fought the sneer that wanted to come to his face, some how Kagura saw right through him.

“But you can’t help it, that’s what money and power does to the privileged few…well not all of you but really …this ying and yang thing you do…” she stopped giving him a curious look then inquired. “Tashiotaka are you bipolar by any chance?”

Sesshomaru gave her one of his famous I will freeze you where you stand look. He was about to put her in her place with a cutting remark but their classmate began to enter the classroom. Not one to make a scene Sesshomaru ended the exchange by walking away.

‘Lucky for Kagura they did not live 500 years ago, because the Sesshomaru of that era would have…’ Sesshomaru frowned sitting in his desk. ‘What would his namesake do?’

‘Kill her.’ answered his ancestor.

Computer lab, most of the students where either asleep or on the internet while mister Sansu talked about the affects the PC revolution had on the world.

Kagura read the personal message on the computer screen that Yura sent her. ‘This is your chance! You had better take it, and his sister is going to be there right? He will not do anything inappropriate around her. You get to visit the ancestral home. Only a chosen few have been there you know!’

Kagura’s PM: ‘How would you know? Moreover, he is trying to get in my pants!’

Yura’s PM: ‘Duh! Our moms are friend’s baka and is this not the point of all this? Him getting in your pants?’

Kagura’s PM: ‘I guess your right.’

Yura’s PM: ‘So tell him yes you will go, and take a kimono with you this festival celebrates the feudal era. Rumor as it, the Tashiotakas’ are descendants from dog demons.’

Kagura’s PM: ‘That explains his canine tendencies.’

Yura’s PM: ‘What?’

Kagura’s PM: ‘Really Yura do you really believe that crap about demons in Japan 500 years ago? I think it was just some thing the ruling lords fabricated to kill their rivals and keep the poor oppresses and ignorant.’

Yura’s PM: ‘Okay Ms. Myth Buster.’

Kagura’s PM: ‘Oh god did I tell you what he did to me yesterday after I masturbated him?

Yura’s PM: ‘YOU WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!’

Kagura’s PM: ‘Is a long story… Kagura told Yura about what happened.

“He what!” gasp Yura out loud making every one look at her.

“Is there a problem with my teaching Ms Onihoshira?” asked the teacher.

“No I was just disturbed that one third of the word is still unable to enjoy the wonders of the internet.” she told him.

The teacher blinked. “Well yes it is disturbing…” he continued finding life on a boring subject.

The person next to her in the next computer shook his head. “You’re an idiot.”

Yura looked him up and down then retorted. “And your gay, your not fooling anyone…so come out of the closet already so we can exchange fashion tips, because you’re never going to ketch Roytoro’s eye by the way you dress.”

He turned red and found something more interesting on his computer screen.

Kagura’s PM: ‘Baka…you are such a drama queen.’

Yura’s PM: ‘And you are a slut.’

Kagura’s PM: ‘Takes one to know one. Speaking of sluts what happened between you and Muso?’

Yura’s PM: ‘He told you about our exchange did he?’

Kagura’s PM: ‘Yes he did, he was angry and said something out of line.’

Yura’s PM: ‘He called me a slut something that I am not; I am a virgin you know!’

Kagura’s PM: ‘I know that but you rub my brother the wrong way for some reason. He dislikes you to the point that he forbids me to be friends with you.’

Yura’s PM: ‘Whatever.’

Kagura’s PM: ‘Can you please go see his lieutenant so that he can be taken off desk duty…please.’

Yura’s PM: ‘No.’

Kagura’s PM: ‘Why are you being difficult?”

Yura’s PM: ‘Me! I’m not the one being difficult that son of a bitch is.’

Kagura’s PM: ‘Hold up just a minute that’s my brother you’re talking about. I don’t care how good friends we are you will not disrespect my mother like that!’

Yura’s PM: ‘Look I'm sorry, I didn’t mean to disrespect your mother ok. I apologize about what I said, but your brother is acting like a jerk and I have never done anything to him. You know what I don’t even want to talk about him any more ok.’

Kagura’s PM: ‘Friends?’

Yura’s PM: ‘Forever.’

Kagura’s PM: ‘So did you have any luck finding those girls?’

Yura’s PM: ‘Not yet but I think they were wearing wigs to disguise their appearance.’

Kagura’s PM: ‘Why would they go to such lengths?’

Yura’s PM: ‘I believe you have made a powerful enemy.’

Kagura’s PM: ‘How…I don’t talk to anyone but you at this school.’

Yura’s PM: ‘Have you had an argument with anyone lately?’

Kagura’s PM: ‘Well there was me pouring coke on Kogas head, Gatenmaru getting beat up by Sesshomaru at Kogas party because of me and I insulted the student council members by calling them fuckers.’

Yura’s PM: ‘Why where you anywhere near those chicken fuckers any way?’

Kagura told Yura about her interview to be class speaker.

Yura’s PM: ‘Mmm… It looks like someone doesn’t want you to be guess speaker.’

Kagura’s PM: ‘What do you mean?’

Yura decided to keep her suspicions to herself for now.

Yura’s PM: ‘I’ll look into it… anyway why don’t you send him a PM.’

Kagura’s PM: ‘Who?’

Yura’s PM: ‘Your boy toy!’

Kagura’s PM: ‘Okay hold on.’

Kagura looked him up on the class directory. She glance over to the left a few rows down to see if he was awake. He was.

Sesshomaru was tracking the Asian stock market when a PM window popped up. He usually ignored them and was about to delete it until he glanced at the senders name Onigumo. Sesshomaru glanced in her direction and found her looking at him. ‘Great…more insults.’ he thought before opening it.

Kagura’s PM: ‘You got me I find myself being curious about how sweet you are…so I will go with you to this festival.’

Sesshomaru’s PM: ‘Okay, I will pick you up Saturday morning at six; we will be back Sunday night.’

Kagura’s PM: ‘Why so early?’

Sesshomaru’s PM: ‘The western lands are about a six-hour drive from Tokyo.’

Kagura’s PM: ‘I rather you meet me at the ice cream shop we went to when you took me home.’

Sesshomaru’s PM: ‘Why?’

Kagura’s PM: ‘My brothers.’

Sesshomaru’s PM: ‘Takes more than that to scare me.’

Kagura’s PM: ‘It’s not you that I am worried about.’

Sesshomaru’s PM: ‘Okay ill pick you up there at six.’

Taking advantage of a free period from class Sesshomaru sat in the library, doing his homework. This seemed the only place that he could go to without being overwhelmed by a horde of fan girls. He looked up in surprised when the chair across from him moved and Yura occupied it.

He stared at her for a second before asking. “Yes?”

Yura boldly reached over grabbing his papers before saying. “Kagura is a good friend of mined, and I would be very upset if someone was to hurt her. She can be naïve when it comes to our world, I have warned her about you and the games you play.” she paused looking at his homework before continuing. “But for some reason she fancies herself having a crush on you.”

Sesshomaru smirked. “Keh!”

“She told me about your up coming date…I hope you don’t try anything stupid Sesshomaru after all I don’t want that wasp Akane to go after my friend for something your guilt off.” Yura told him.

“This is supposed to scare me?” he asked giving her an insolent look.

“Of course not but know that I would move heaven and earth to punish those who hurt her.” She told him.

“Then why let her go out with me if you feel that way?” He asked.

“Sometimes you got to let people make mistakes.” She whispered in a somber tone.

Sesshomaru gave her that killer smiled that drove the girl’s crazy; it had no affect on Yura.

“You’re not my type.” Whispered Yura knowing what he was trying to do.

Sesshomaru remembered what Akane told him about Yura. “Are you and her lovers? Is that the reason you have never thrown yourself at me?” He asked her.

Yura gave him a mysterious look refusing to answer his question; let him believe what he wanted. “Are you jealous?” she asked smiling at Sesshomaru

He looked at her tediously with out answering her back.

She told him. “By the way someone drugged Kagura in the locker room…you wouldn’t know anything about that would you?”

“Why should I?” he asked giving her a blank stare.

“Kagura made someone angry enough to drug her; you being a member of the upper echelon around here are privy to who did it.”
“You make it sound like I'm a yakuza boss or something.” He laughed, “Sorry but I try to stay away from gossip but you might want to try the thunder brothers.”

Yura laughed mockingly at him, “Who knew? Underneath all that ice there is a sense of humor.” She narrowed her eyes leaning closer to him. “I know about the secret societies in this academy after all my bother was a member of a few. I am going to find out who is responsible with or without your help.

Sesshomaru did not know what to say.

Yura stared at him before continuing “Well I got to go…remember be nice to her, and we never had this conversation. By the way question 12 is wrong.” She told him handing him back his homework before walking away.

Kagura was about to leave school grounds on her way to the train station “Kagura!”

She turned seeing Gatenmaru jogging to meet her.

“Yes?”

“Look, are you still mad at me?” he asked her keeping a safe distance from her.

“I told you I forgave your drunken behavior!” she chided rolling her eyes.

“Geesh …you do not have to put it that way you know!” he told her making a face.

Kagura had to laugh at the face he made; it was hard to stay mad at him even if he deserved it.

“Look lets go get some coffee or something later.” He mentioned.

“Well...I…” she stammered feeling her cheeks getting warm.

“I wont take no for an answer.” He told her getting closer. “So let’s go!”

Kagura smiled. “Ok…ok I’ll go with you later I got somewhere to be.” She found that she was not mad at him after all. Gatenmaru was not a bad person he was just not…Sesshomaru.

“So are you ok?” she asked him hugging her books to her chest.

“It was just a bloody nose and maybe my future kids that where affected.” He told her smiling. “But I'm alright.”

“Who are you and what have you done with Gatenmaru?” she asked fawning confusion.

Gatenmaru grabbed her shoulders, the books in her arms kept his embrace from being intimate. “Kagura …I want to go out with you…”

“Well where going out to get coffee.”

“No I mean I want to be… you know…your boyfriend.”

Kagura found her self-blushing. “Gatenmaru I'm sorry but I…I like someone else.”

“I don’t care I’ll take you away from him.” He told her brushing his thumb on her lower lip. “Give me a chance.”

Kagura raised an eyebrow at him before smiling at him flirtatiously. Gatenmaru smiled back at her before grabbing her around the waist and lifting her off the ground. “WHAT! AHH!” screamed Kagura with laughter. “Put me down Gatenmaru… are you crazy?” she exclaimed.

He did not attempt to put her down instead; he twirled them around in circles. “I'm not putting you down until you say you’re going to give me a chance!”

“STOP!...ok…ok…I’ll give you a chance!” she said breathlessly.

Gatenmaru stopped his spinning and put her down. Looking at her laughing eyes, he could not help but smile. “But I'm not making any promises you know!” she told him.

“I’ll take my chances.” He whispered before letting her go and walking away.

From the third floor window of the admin building Sesshomaru watched them attentively, he did not know what they where talking about. Sesshomaru was annoyed watching Gatenmaru’s hands on Kagura but it seemed like Kagura was having no such problem; from the fact that Gatenmaru was not on the ground, grabbing his lower region in pain. ‘So much for a crush...’ He told himself his annoyance turning to jealousy when he saw Gatenmaru pick her up and twirl her around, his keen eye not missing the laughter in Kagura’s face.

Inuyasha walked towards his waiting brother; noticing the play of emotions on Sesshomaru’s usual emotionless face. Inuyasha was surprised he had only seen that look of jealousy on Sesshomaru’s face once and it had been when their father had let Inuyasha wheeled the Tetsusaiga. Inuyasha looked towards where Sesshomaru was staring at and saw Kagura with that pansy Gatenmaru.

Inuyasha snorted a “Keh!” in discuss. He did not care much for Gatenmaru.

“For once you and I agree on something.” Sesshomaru told him before regaining is cold mask of indifference. “Let’s go.”

The two brothers headed towards the stairs. They where a striking pair; girl’s huddles around watching the Tashiotaka brothers pass by. They whispered and giggled about how cute they where. The brothers ignored the “ohs and ahs” sent their way. After all they where use to girls making fools of themselves over them.

Akane was pissed her encountered win Garamaru had been unpleasant. She had tossed and turned all night thinking about what he had told her. How many of her “friends” had Sesshomaru slept with while she was in Vienna? How could he do that to me!

‘Well you no saint either!’ said an inner voice.

Akane refused to bring her cheating into this. She was afraid to confront him but she had too after all, she did not want to loose him. He was the heir to one of the riches families in Japan and he was a handsome bastard she loved the looks of envy and jealousy she got from other girls when she was with him; men wanted her because they wanted what Sesshomaru had; so she got in her car heading to his house to confront him once and for all.
