Remember How We Met

Hell has been described in so many ways over the years. A frigid, cold, dark place where you only have your nightmares and worst memories to keep you company.



Then there is the popular view of it being a hot, fire ridden plane where you are tortured for your various sins.



Kagome had a new way to describe it. High school. The devil was no longer a red horned monster, but a white haired guy in a red shirt. Inuyasha.



Oh sure Toga had grounded him until graduation and is forcing him to go to AA meetings, but Toga could not control what happened at school.



In fact Inuyasha was smart enough not to touch the girl again fearing charges would be pressed against him. His father had even told him that he would not help him the next time he lost control like that. So Inuyasha sent his minions to do his tasks for him.



Sango had stayed true to her word and stood by her side. She had told the others from her old group what had happened at the New Years eve party.



Yuka, Eri and Ayumi had forgiven her for the way she treated them when she was with Inuyasha. In a way they could understand how she got all caught up in the madness of popularity. They also got to see what happens when you try to leave the populars.



It’s hard to hear about what a whore you are when you have never had sex with someone before. Inuyasha’s friends had told everyone in the school that she had lined them up one night and gave them all head to see who tasted better. The writing on the bathroom walls had become so obscene that principal had to have them repainted.

It was becoming hard to get out of bed in the morning to face the day.



Yesterday been particularly horrible. Kikyo had pushed her into an empty classroom. Her friends Kocho and Asuka where waiting for her. She had been beaten and kicked on her sides and back she still had the bruises. She had tried to fight back but when it is one against three the odds are not in your favor.



Her mother came into check on her since she had not come down to breakfast. Kagome told her that she wasn’t feeling well and in truth she wasn’t after her beating. So her she lay alone in her house trying to figure out how to escape this nightmare.



She didn’t want Sesshomaru to know about her problems about her problems. She thought that maybe he would thin she was weak and leave her. Right now he was the only good thing she had going in her life. Inuyasha had told her that if she broke it off with his brother than he would stop the tormenting. She knew that was a lie and simply walked away from him.



In the middle of her thoughts she heard a knock at the front door. She didn’t care who it was. At the moment she didn’t care about anything. She was starting to second-guess everything that she ever believed in. Life was not a nice happy place of sunshine and roses. It was more like winter nights dark with wind stinging your face.



The knocking stopped as a voice called out her name. Sesshomaru was here. Why was he here? Crawling out of bed she headed to the stairs only to be greeted by his form. “Hey Sango told Miroku that you didn’t go to school today. Are you okay?” He asked as he went to pull her into a hug.



Kagome flinched and he narrowed his eyes.

Turning her around to see her back he pulled her shirt up to see what the problem was. He was horrified as he looked at the black and blue bruises that marred her skin. He looked up and turned her around to see tears falling from her eyes. “Who did this to you? Was it Inuyasha? I will fucking kill that prick.” Sesshomaru said as she broke down and fell into his arms.



Kagome told him everything that had happened to her since she had gone back to school. She told him that she hid it from him and asked Sango not to say anything Miroku, because she didn’t want them to get into trouble. He finally lifted her into his arms and headed back into her room.



She sat in his lap as he cradled her. Kagome was to good natured to deal with evil fuckers like this. Picking up her telephone he dialed his friends and told them to meet him at his house later. He looked to his girlfriend and couldn’t help, but feel guilty for this. However he was going to fix it.



Sesshomaru spent the day trying to make Kagome feel better. He had picked up her favorite food and rented some funny movies, but he could still see the sadness looming in her eyes. He left her house around six to meet up with his friends. It was time for some pay back.



Entering his house his friends had already arrived Bankotsu, Jakotsu, Suikotsu, Ayame and Tsubaki where all in the library. “What’s up Sess we haven’t had a get together like this since we plotted against Ryukotsusei.” Bankotsu smirked at the memory. “We have another that needs to be taken down. Inuyasha.” Sesshomaru said as they all gasped.



They knew that he didn’t like his brother, but he had never gone as far as destroying him. He wasn’t the brightest crayon in the box. So a good job was out of the picture and with no money his friends would split out on him unless daddy supported him.



Sesshomaru informed his friends of everything that had happened with his girlfriend. They didn’t know if they where more shocked by the fact the Inuyasha could be so evil or that Sesshomaru had a steady girlfriend.



Shaking his head “That chick Kikyo I know who she is. She has been trying to get me to play doctor with her for months. I could get Jak to hide in the closet and take pictures. Then you could give them to you brother. That would cut him deeper than a sword.” Suikotsu said as Sesshomaru gave them the go ahead.



A smile crossed her lips “That Naraku guy would be an easy target for me. I heard that he is a heavy pot smoker. So much so that he always has some in his car. My dad will love to hear about that. Him being DEA and all.” She laughed jumping to her feet and running out the door.



Ayame had her target in mind also. “The girls Kagura and Kanna leave them to me and my boyfriend. He had some dirty dealings with them earlier and I am sure he would love to sink his teeth into them.” She bounced excitedly. “Their all yours Ayame.” Sesshomaru laughed.



As for the bitches that hurt Kagome. Well he had something special for the twins. “Bank are you still killer with the ladies?” He asked cocking a brow. “They don’t call me the mercenary for nothing.” Bankotsu laughed. “I want you to pay special attention to the twins Kocho and Asuka. Make them fall for you and then turn them against each other.” He said with an evil smile. “Soul sucking bitches won’t know what hit them.” Bank said.



He watched as his friends headed out the door. He wanted to go back and see how Kagome was doing. He was worried about the way she looked. Grabbing his keys he headed out the door. As he reached the shrine he noticed that her mother’s car wasn’t there and he could hear music blasting.



Knocking at the door a rather drunk Kagome answered. “Sessy baby I didn’t know ya would come back.” She said giggling and swaying in the doorway. Following her into the house and shutting the door behind him he watched her grab a drink. “What is that Kagome?” Sesshomaru asked walking over to take a whiff. Damn near made his eyes bleed it was so strong. “Vodka and orange juice. Well more like vodka and a splash of orange juice.” She laughed tossing back the drink.



Well he had never seen her like this before. “Kagome where is family?” Sesshomaru asked the now dancing girl. “They went out to my aunts. So we are here all alone.” She said seductively. She tried to sway to him sexily, but it turned into a drunken stumble. “Damn it I cant it even be sexy right. Why the hell are you with me.” She bellowed flopping onto the couch.



He smiled and sat next to his intoxicated angel pulling her into his arms mindful of her back. “Because you are like no woman I have ever met. You make me feel alive and foolish. For that ….I love you Kagome.” He said and waited for her to respond. She did respond to his sweet words with a soft snore. She had passed out in his arms.



Laughing as he normally did with her he carried Kagome to her room. Laid her down on her bed and kissed her forehead before he headed downstairs to clean the mess for her. It would be bad if her mother came home and found it this way.
