School Just Sucks

A/N: oh wow... its been a while sense I’ve written for this story. I blame it on the solid fact that my muse ran out on me. Now that I found it again, here’s another chapter. Just to let you know, I kind of changed it to Halloween to Christmas. So I might have missed some changes. You’ll see what I mean.


Chapter Four: A white rose, a white ribbon


Kagome sighed as she opened her locker once again. She took the rose out of her locker and shook her head. "Seriously..." She muttered. "Who the hell got my locker combination." She took a good look at the rose, a single white ribbon tied around the stem. It was the twelfth rose this month, causing her to have a dozen roses in her room.

“So did you get another rose from your secret admirer?” Sango giggled as she walked up behind Kagome.

Kagome sighed once more and put it back. “I just wanna know who got my locker combination! I asked to have my locker twice and each time he keeps getting in!”

Ayame shook her head and shut her own locker which was next to Kagome’s. “Come on Kags, its really romantic. Instead of being freaked out about it, you should be all giggly like a girl should be. How often does a girl like you get a white rose with a white ribbon tied around the stem? It mean some guy in our school has the serious hots for you. Live it up!”

The raven hair girl shut her own locker once she got her books. “How can I live it up when the very guy who is trying to romance me is hiding from me? I want a guy who’s there for me, hold me, tells me that he loves me. Or at least ask me to the Christmas dance that’s coming up. If mystery guy doesn’t show up, then I’m going to be dateless once more.”

Both Sango and Ayame looked at each other, biting their lips. They both had boyfriends who cared about them, but Kagome’s own boyfriend dumped her for Kikyou. They could understand her doubts about said mystery man.

“Don’t worry Kagome!” Sango reassured. “I’m sure this guy will show up soon.”

“Or maybe he’s just a figment of your imagination.”

All three girls turned to see Kikyou and her group of girls giggling at her.

“What do you want Kikyou?” Kagome growled. She really wasn’t in the mood for Kikyou teasing at the moment.

Kikyou tossed her hair behind her shoulder. “Just admit it Kagome. Your putting these roses in your locker just so you can make yourself feel good. Its not like the phantom would actually give someone like you a white rose.”

Kagome arched an eyebrow. “Phantom?”

“Its an old school legend.” Ayame pointed out. “Its about how in the garden in the back, a maiden who used to go to this school back when it was a boarding school, walked back there during the night. One night she received a white rose with a ribbon on it on her bed. For twelve nights she received a single rose. Then on Christmas night, out in the garden, a man, who looked so unreal so much like a dream, appeared before her. There they both declared their love to each other. They danced, kissed, and finally when it stuck midnight, they disappeared together in the night, never to be seen again. Or that’s what the legend says.”

Kagome looked at Ayame like she just sprouted nonsense. “Why is it always midnight?” She ended up asking.”

“The point is, stop doing such moronic things to get attention.” Kikyou snapped. “Even if the legends was true, I highly doubt that he would pick someone as plain as you.”

“Oh and I suppose he likes a whore instead right?” Kagome snapped back with a smirk.

Kikyou glared at her and took two steps, her hand out as if to slap her. Before she could put enough force in her hand, another reached out and grabbed it, instantly stopping her.

“Kikyou, you know your already close to getting kicked out of school.” Sesshomaru said calmly. “Now I’m not quite sure if you heard the bell or not, but class is starting. I suggest that you all head off to class.”

Kikyou blushed and ripped her hand away. “I’m sorry Taisho-sama.” She said, trying to look cute before her and her friends ran off to the classroom.

Kagome sighed as Sango and Ayame headed off to class, hurrying after them. Or at least she wanted to. Instead Sesshomaru stood in her way.

“You know, I cant get to class if your standing in the way.” She snapped.

“What are you doing for the Christmas dance?” He asked her.

“I don’t know Sesshomaru.” Kagome shifted her books and her weight. “Though I can tell you that its not going with you.”

He grabbed a lock of her hair and gently placed it against is lips. “Why not?” He practically purred.

Kagome’s eye twitched. “Remind me to cut that lock off when you let it go. As for why I wont go with you, its because I don’t like you. End of story.”

Sesshomaru frowned and let her hair go. “Why don’t you like me?”

Kagome took a step back, trying to distance herself from him. “Because, Sesshomaru Taisho, you date a girl till you’ve had your fill of her, or till you’ve filled her, then you throw her away like she’s nothing. And honestly, I don’t want to be treated like a sex toy. So you can go fuck yourself in the ass for all I care. Now move, I have class.”

Sesshomaru took another step, causing Kagome to take one back till he pinned her to the lockers. “Quite a colorful language there. Did you get it from my brother?”

She smirked. “Actually yes. Inuyasha tends to curse too much. After a while you catch on. Now move before I show you how to start a lawnmower. Except I’m going to use that thing you call a manhood as the string.”

He pulled away. “Your going to fall for me one day.”

“If you keep saying things like that, then it’ll have to be a cold day in hell before I even consider going anywhere with you.”

Sesshomaru angrily slammed the door to his room, throwing his bag on his bed. What was with that woman? How could she resist him? Women threw themselves at him to just have one night! So how was it that Kagome could resist him? Over and over again she had insulted him.

“Your trying too hard.” Inuyasha said simply. “Honestly Sesshomaru, why are you so interested in Kagome? Isn’t she a bit low on your standers?”

“Do not question my standers half-breed.” Sesshomaru snapped. “Now what do you want?”

Inuyasha shook his head. “I know I was the one to break up with her, and I know it was a mistake, but I till care for her. You I could give a rat’s ass less about. I wont interfere, if you tell me what you really feel for Kagome. Hell, I’ll even help you out. But only if you love her. If that’s even possible for you.” He muttered the last part. “But I have to hear you say those words. If you don’t and you just want to have her as nothing more then a fling, then I’m going to laugh in your face as you fall, and burn.”

Sesshomaru’s golden eyes narrowed. “I don’t need help from you.”

Inuyasha shook his head. “My offer still stands. Though I really think your starting to lie to yourself. By the way, love the roses. Though its not going to work if she finds out its you. Actually, she’s going to be pretty pissed.” Inuyasha gave one last smirk before bolting out of the room, avoiding his brother’s wrath.

Kagome hit her head against the lunchroom table. “Whose ever playing this Phantom joke is taking this too far.” She grumbled.

Sango sat down, her tray of food far away from Kagome’s head. “What happened this time?”

Kagome held up the ribbon. “Just this was in my locker. No rose, just a ribbon. I’m getting sick and tired of it. I cant stand guys who hide.”

Her friend giggled. “What if it was Sesshomaru trying to be all romantic?”

Kagome turned and glared at her friend. “That’s not funny Sango. You know how much I cant stand that guy. He’s nothing more then a two bit ass whole who probably spends more time in front of the mirror then my mother does. And that’s saying something. She’s in front of the mirror for two hours making sure her hair is styled right.” She lifted her head high enough to set her chin on the table. “And if I found out it was him, I think I would kill him. I’m probably no more then a dog who wont obey. That’s probably what he sees me as. After all, all he does is flirt around. How can I date someone whose like that? I just want a boyfriend whose loyal to me. Not someone who I have to wonder if he’s cheating on me or not.”

Sango watched her friend and took a bite of her food. “Sorry to hear that. Well, maybe Hojo will ask you out to the dance.”

Kagome shrugged. “Its a possibility.”

Sesshomaru walked though the halls, his teeth clenched. Never before had he wanted to find Hojo and rip his throat out. The very thought even pleased him so. But then again, the words that Kagome had spoke ripped at the ice block he called his heart. How could he be the man that she wanted him to be? How could he prove to her that he could do that? That he could be the perfect man for her? The very thought caused him to stop. Never before had he thought about stopping his playboy ways just for one girl. Yet here he was, seriously thinking, no wanting, to stop just for Kagome. He wanted her to think of him and only him. He wanted to think of her and only her. Even the beast in his mind wanted Kagome as their mate.

“Ready to admit it yet?” Inuyasha snickered next to him.

Sesshomaru turned his head quickly and cursed. He was so far into thought that he didn’t even realize that Inuyasha was following him. “Admit what?”

The half demon smirked. “That your in love with her. That you cant do this alone.”

He clenched his fist. “I hate you.” He growled.

Inuyasha’s smirk turned into a wide grin. “That’s good enough for me.”
