Demon School

Chapter 5

Kagome sat silently in the car, her mind still swimming in her thoughts about Sesshomaru. One minute, he was an icy lord, the next; he was the perfect gentleman, someone to die for. She could still see him smiling fondly at her, and how gentle his eyes looked. His scent was still haunting her, making her wish that she could be with him forever.

A little voice in her head suddenly said, ‘Wait… Kagome. WHAT are you thinking? Have you forgotten about Inuyasha?’. But in response to that, another voice quickly said, ‘You obviously want to be with Sesshomaru…’.

‘Oh, what am I thinking? Even if I wanted to be with Sesshomaru, he would never love someone like me…’. Kagome collapsed onto her bed, determined to forgot everything… Well, at least for now.

Sesshomaru sat in his chair, rubbing his temples. Despite his efforts to forget, her face, her body… Her mere existence just kept driving him crazy. ‘She is with that stupid half demon. I will not fall for his leftovers… That will never happen…’.


The next morning, Kagome got to school early to meet up with Ayame. ‘Kagome-chan! How did the performance go?!’. ‘It was… umm… Okay, I guess’, Kagome said. Ayame could tell that Kagome was hiding something from her, but from the looks of it, Kagome didn’t really want to talk about it, so she decided not to push it.

‘Ooo, did you get to meet Mr. Takashiro? He looks so goddamn sexy in pictures… I bet the real him looks ten times… No, a THOUSAND times sexier…’, Ayame said dreamily. Kagome laughed as she saw Ayame drift off into her own little world. ‘As a matter of fact, I did see him, but… I didn’t talk to him…’.

‘Aw… That’s too bad… He is hot though…’, Ayame replied, giggling. Kagome gave her a strained smile, and tried to change the topic. ‘So… Where are you planning to go for University?’. ‘Well, I don’t know yet… I guess it depends on how I do for the exams… Of course, YOU don’t have to worry at all!’.

‘I’ll study with you when the time comes, so don’t worry, you’ll do fine!’, Kagome said. The two made their way through the crowded hallways into the classroom, and when Kagome looked out the window, she could feel her heart break.

Against the large oak tree, she could see that Inuyasha was kissing another girl, and by the looks of, was so immersed in it that he didn’t care who saw it. Kagome could feel a familiar pain in her throat and could see tears in her eyes. ‘Kagome…’, Ayame began. ‘I’m… I’m fine… Come on, let’s get a good seat for class…’.


Sesshomaru could see Inuyasha kissing the girl from the private school. Checking to make sure that his hidden cameras had caught all of it, he sat back in his chair, knowing that his mind still thinking about Kagome.

‘Her aura… It seems… To be fading…’, Sesshomaru thought to himself as he felt her presence inside one of the classrooms. ‘No, that’s not possible, auras don’t fade, they weaken’. He pushed that aside and continued to work, knowing that he would not be able to forget about her completely.


Kagome could hear Inuyasha calling her name as she walked down the hallway to her next class, but she completely ignored him, trying to not even think about the stupid half-demon. When he finally caught up to her, the only thing he received from her was a punch in the stomach, and the words, ‘I hate you…’.

For the rest of the day, Kagome hid from Inuyasha, though she didn’t think that he would even want to talk to her after what she did. Her heart felt as though it had been wrenched out, stabbed, and put back in. As soon as she got home, all the tears she had held back came rushing out.

Her mind was filled with mixed emotions… Hate, jealousy, anger, love… And most of all, sorrow. After the sadness she had been through, having left her other life, Kagome really didn’t know how much more she could take.

I wish… that I would just disappear and let this pain end…


Inuyasha paced around in his room, anger boiling inside of him. ‘What the hell did she go and punch me for?! Does she have some sort of mental problem? WHO in their right mind would punch someone out of the blue! GOD!’.

He slammed his fist against the desk, unable control his anger for any longer. ‘Why am I getting so frustrated over this? She’s useless… I don’t need her anymore… I’ve got Kikyo… She’s nothing compared to Kikyo…Nothing…’.


The next morning, Kagome woke up with a splitting headache from crying the whole night. She really didn’t want to go to school, but knowing that her mother would be upset if she didn’t, she got up and slowly got ready for school.

‘Kagome-chan!’, Ayame called to her. From afar, Kagome could see that Ayame was looking VERY excited, and was waving something in her hand. ‘Oh! I’M SO JEALOUS OF YOU!!! Getting to be on the front page with Sesshomaru-sama…’, Ayame said, teasingly. ‘What are you talking about?’, Kagome questioned, her heart dreading what the answer would be.

Ayame showed her the front page of the most popular magazine, and lo and behold there she was with Sesshomaru. ‘Takashiro and a lover?!?…’.Kagome snatched the magazine from Ayame and flipped the pages until she found the page she was looking for.

‘Sesshomaru Takashiro, votest sexiest man of the year, was found with this mysterious woman at the grand opening of the Takashiro hotel. Though he denies having any relationship between the lady, many of the guests that were present, saw the couple dancing together in the large ballroom…’

‘Though he denies having any relationship between the lady…’, Kagome reread for the 10th time. She kept telling herself that she had always expected that, but her heart had held hope that he might just consider as a friend until today.


When she looked up, she saw Inuyasha glaring at her, getting ready to explode. ‘You left me for him?! So, this whole time, you’ve been with him, you… you fucking slut!!!’, Inuyasha yelled. Tears slid down her face uncontrollably as she yelled back at him, ‘Can’t you read?! He’s already said that there was nothing going on! And how come it’s MY fault now? How can you call me that when YOU were the one who was kissing someone else yesterday?!’. Inuyasha stared at Kagome as he saw her image suddenly flicker, as if she disappeared for a moment and reappeared. Kagome turned away from him and cried on Ayame’s shoulder, unable to do anything else.

Ayame was pissed off beyond belief. Still holding a crying Kagome in her arms, she said in a menacing tone, ‘Inuyasha, you cold-hearted bastard… You’re the slut, not Kagome. Maybe if you had thought about it in your non-existent brain, it would occur to you, that YOU were at fault, not Kagome. She gave you nothing but love, and you go off and find some random whore to screw. Frankly, it’s good that she dumped you, because she deserves so much more than shit like you’.

Giving Inuyasha one more death stare, Ayame walked off with Kagome, whispering words of comfort to her heart-broken friend. ‘Ayame… Do I really come off as being such a horrible person? I just… don’t understand…’, Kagome mumbled before breaking down again.

Ayame sighed, ‘Listen to Kagome… You are such a warm, friendly and caring person, but you have to stop blaming yourself for everything that happens. Inuyasha is the moron who doesn’t know what he gave up, but don’t worry! You’ll find someone who will give you the love and attention you deserve!’. Looking over at her friend, she tried to lighten the mood, ‘So, let’s leave all this crap behind, and why don’t we go for ice cream and shop ‘til we drop?’.


Sesshomaru stared at the cover of the magazine in disgust. The damn media had been after him for years and had come up with the most ludicrous accusations, this one being the most ridiculous. Putting that aside, Sesshomaru stared at the attendance records and could feel something within him stir.

Next to Kagome’s name, there was no entry, meaning that she hadn’t been at school. Looking further down the list, he saw that another girl, Ayame, was not at school either. Inuyasha, on the other hand, was at school. Sesshomaru had a strong feeling that all of this had something that led back to Inuyasha, and he was determined to find out.


Kagome sat, listening to Ayame chatter about everything. She knew that Ayame was doing this to try and get her mind of Inuyasha, but everything around didn’t seem to real to her anymore. Or maybe it was the fact that she didn’t feel like she was part of this world anymore…

‘So! What do you want to do next? More shopping? You haven’t bought nearly enough!’, Ayame exclaimed. ‘Come on, let’s get going… We’ve got plenty more to do before the day is over!’. Kagome looked over at Ayame and said, ‘Ayame… I think… I’m just going to go home and rest. I don’t know how I’ll ever repay you, for all you’ve done for me, but I just want to let you know that I really appreciate it’.

‘Kagome, I’m your friend, and that’s what friends are for! So, if you want to go home now, I can give you a ride!’. ‘Umm… Ayame, I’ll be able to get home by myself. I think I just need some time to think things over myself…’.

Looking slightly dejected, Ayame nodded. ‘Okay… Well, if you insist!’. Handing her all of the stuff they had bought, Ayame gave her a quick hug and went off, waving back at Kagome.


As Kagome walked home slowly, she could feel her body begin to grow numb from all that she had been through. It was as if everything she did was insignificant… As if she was slowly being erased from the world…

Inuyasha felt pain erupt from his body as he was slammed against the wall of Sesshomaru’s office. ‘What… did you do to her?’, Sesshomaru asked, growling. ‘Hmph. If you’re trying to imply that I am at fault, then let me tell you something. I don’t give a damn about what happens to your little whore, because frankly, I don’t want to clean up the mess you leave. If you’re so worried about her, why don’t you go and check on her then?’, Inuyasha said, mockingly.

Whips of light shot out from Sesshomaru’s fingertips, slicing into the half-demon. Noticing that Inuyasha had let his guard down, Sesshomaru took up the opportunity to read his mind.

…MY fault now? How can you call me that when YOU were the one who was kissing someone else yesterday…’.

Sesshomaru’s eyes widened as he saw her disappear for a moment, also sensing that her aura had disappeared as well. Something strange was going on…
