All To Myself

Chapter 6:

Kagome rushed to her class with speed she didn’t even know she had. She chided herself once again she had made it to the dorm but couldn’t bring herself to enter. So it was to class without her book or notes.

It was the first day of this class right? So she should be okay if they are just going over the syllabus. The arts and science building was coming into view. She pulled the schedule from her bad. Floor two room three forty-eight she growled to herself.

Kagome raced up the stairs. She skipped steps in hope of making it twice as fast to her class. Kagome continued to walk through the corridor from class to class.

341, 343, 345, and 348 finally she made it. Kagome reached for the door handle and pulled. The door didn’t move. She pulled again the door didn’t budge once again.

“What the hell?” she complained

Kagome looked up at the door finally noticing the note posted in the window.

Class cancelled due to workshop

“You have got to be kidding me…”

Kagome backed up from the door with annoyance clearly evident. Well now she had the whole day open this was her only class for the day. Maybe the rest would be nice, seeing how she didn’t really sleep a whole lot the night before. She smiled to herself maybe she could go back and find Inuyasha.

Did that make her an absolute fool? He was easily eye candy to the whole school. Kagome remembered that girl from earlier. Those were the type of girls he went for. He was probably just being nice to her because he was Miroku’s best friend.

Kagome sighed.

When it came to guys Kagome felt clueless. But that had been her fault.

She traveled back down the hall, stopping she glanced down the next hall a painting catching her eye. Above the painting read Inu Taisho, the great dog demon.

‘Dog demon, that’s what Inuyasha is right,’ Kagome thought, as she traveled up to the large portrait.

The portrait was magnificent; at its center was a large white dog demon. The demon had red eyes and purple tribal markings very similar to the ones that Inuyasha had. The snowing white color of the demon was also similar to Inuyasha.

Could Inuyasha turn into that? As menacing at the demon looked it could not be helped to notice the beauty that it presented.

Kagome found herself mesmerized as she reached out to touch the image.

“That is Inuyasha’s father.” A voice called out to her.

Surprised Kagome pulled back from the portrait. She felt like a child who got caught reaching into the cookie jar. She spun around to see one of her teacher, Myouga wasn’t it?

“Um, I.” Kagome wasn’t quite sure what to say.

“His scent is on you, I just assumed you knew lord Inuyasha.” Myouga informed her.

“Lord?” that was very odd sounding especially this day in age.

The old flea chuckled, “My family has always been faithful to the Inu-clan. I have been overseeing Lord Inuyasha since he has entered this university. As a child I tried to teach Lord Inuyasha, however he was always such a difficult child. You have fancied him?”

Kagome felt a bit awkward to where this was going. If he knew Inuyasha the way that he expressed who’s to say he wouldn’t dish about what she said. She had to think about this rationally.

“He’s been kind to me.” She whispered.

“Is that so, Lord Inuyasha? Interesting, that portrait you’re looking at, that is master Inuyasha’s father.” Myouga explained. “Lord Inu-Taisho, he was a very gentle master, fair always doing everything right and always keeping himself in check. “

Kagome giggled lightly, “That doesn’t sound like Inuyasha at all.”

“Easy now Kagome it cannot be helped. Inuyasha grew up in a hard life.”

Kagome straightened up feeling serious. “You said was?”

Myouga nodded, “Yes his father passed away when his sons were still young. He left them an empire of a business and with that, much money. Inuyasha’s father was married once to a demoness. She passed away not long after Sesshomaru, Inuyasha’s brother, was born. When Inu-Taisho remarried, it started an uproar in the demon community.”

Kagome watched Myouga and intently listened. It was nice to hear a bit about Inuyasha from someone older. Maybe she could really understand the wild demon more.

“Why would that be? I mean wouldn’t it be natural for someone to meet another and find a way to move on and be happy?”

Myouga chuckled again, “My dear, perhaps for humans this is a normal feat. But, for demons not so much because demons mate for life you see.

Kagome looked at him like he was insane. “Mate for life?” Kagome questioned.

Myouga held a smug devious smile.

“I life mate Kagome. Meaning when a demon hears their calling and are drawn to another with such power, then it only means that they have found their true mate. However, there is just one individual like this in the world.”

“Only one person in the world that could be a demon’s mate, but that crazy. How could one every hope to find that one person?” Kagome couldn’t help but imagine what the possible odds would be to find your one true love. Which was what this whole mate thing at least sounded like.

“Well, you see most demons tend to be on, say promiscuous side. Not settling down even if they find someone they are truly interested with. Because, if they did settle then find their real mate the power to be with that other persons would be un-fightable. “

 “I see,” Kagome nodded contemplating the oddness of demons. So would that mean that they really didn’t have the choice? “What if they never find their mate?”

“Demons live quite some time Kagome. Eventually somehow they are drawn to each other one way or another.” Myouga almost sounded hopeful in his explanations. He continued to study the portrait as if reminiscing.

“So then the demon, that Inuyasha’s father was married first wasn’t his mate?” Kagome pointed out.

“Precisely, my Kagome you are most observant. Lord Inu-Taisho was in an arranged marriage and his previous wife was not his mate. Not only as this scandalous but also was the fact that his intended mate ended up being a regular human.”

What was wrong with Lord Inu-Taisho’s mate being human?

As if reading her thoughts Myouga continued his story. “It is taboo. The mixings of race between humans and demons, even worse was the child the bore that could only be a halfbreed.”

“Inuyasha?” Kagome acknowledged.

“Exactly, which leads me back saying that he had a rough time growing up. Neither accepted by human or demon, only reason he has had what he could was because of his family’s money and power. Unfortunately Lord Taisho and the lady were murdered most likely from another family with high power. Sesshomaru took the family business and has since then tried to at least find the murderer of his father.

Kagome wanted to cry. She knew what it was to lose one parent, but both parents. Her heart opened up to Inuyasha.

“You have a good heart Kagome, I’m glad that he has found a friend in you.” With that Myouga left Kagome to stand and stare at the portrait a bit longer.

Finally Kagome made her way out the door of the arts and science center. Her mind still rain wild thinking about all the things that Myouga had spoken about. Rain poured down heavily and thunder bolts lit the sky. She shivered uneasily.

God she hated thunder storms.

The temperature had drastically dropped easily into the fifties. Which seemed strange to her, sure fall was right around the corner, but it was a lot colder than normal this time of year.

“Well, well, well, what do we have here?”

Kagome turned to the whiney high pitched voice. It was the same girl she had seen outside Inuyasha’s dorm.

“Um…” was the only intelligible thing that came out of Kagome’s throat.

The short haired women reached up grabbing up a fistful of Kagome’s hair and yanked her forward real hard. Kagome let out a shriek as the girl in front of her examined her hair. Kagome reached up and smacked the obnoxious girl sending a sparks of bright light upon impact.

“You bitch.” The girl seethed as she jumped up onto the ledge of the building.

“I should be saying the same to you, just what is your problem?” Kagome yelled.

“It’s Yura not that it matters to the likes of someone like you. Ugh, what does he see in you, your skin is tinged with color from obvious outside labor, which explains the disgusting callouses on your fingers. So since you work I assume you’re poor. And that hair it’s not even close to being as silky soft as Inuyasha’s.”

 

Yura reached up and cupped her cheek where Kagome had struck her. A jolt of pain was sent from Kagome’s finger tips. Yura wasn’t sure what it was nor really cared at the moment as her anger built.

“Look stay away from Inuyasha bitch or else bad things are going to happen to you!” Yura spat.

Kagome clinched her fist as her anger built.

“Look I don’t give a damn who you are. You are not about to tell me what I can and can’t do. Sorry a prissy spoiled hag like you can’t appreciate a hard working person. But that hard work got me places on my own accord. Which, is much more than I can say about most the rich bastards that go to this school.”

Yura reached in her pocket pulling a comb out and raised it up in the air. Too bad she was going to give the girl a chance but she just wouldn’t listen. It would be easy to dispose of the soon to be human corpse.

“What? Are you going to comb me to death?” Kagome watched in confusion.

“Haha I guess you’ll just have to find out.” Yura laughed. Hair began to sprout out from the comb as several strands began to build.

Kagome watched in confusion as the hair began to wound itself up thickly above Yura.

“Ew, is that hair?” Kagome asked. This was way too weird.

Yura’s eyes widened and the hair stopped moving instantly.

 

“What? Do you mean you can see it?” She demanded.

Kagome looked up at her like she was crazy. “Uh, yeah.”

Yura retracted the comb and put it back into her pocket. The strands began to retract as well.

“Now I get why it hurt so bad when you struck me.” The girl was a miko and apparently had no idea. If there was one thing that was hell for demons it was a miko. The problem with and untrained one is you never knew what they would be capable of in a desperate situation. Yura wasn’t willing to take the chance. No she could get someone else to do her dirty work.

“Enjoy life why you still are allowed to have it.” Yura spat before jumping up into the air and disappeared.

Kagome sighed and leaned her back into the door of the building. Is this what every day was going to be like? She didn’t know how long she stood there staring out into the rain with an uneasy feeling building up into her stomach.

+++++

Sango had felt edgy the whole hour and a half she was in class. She felt guilty lying to Miroku and Inuyasha. Not only did she feel guilty over the deception but she also felt guilt for Kagome. Was she doing the right thing? Kagome could get really hurt.

She decided that the best thing to do was convince Kagome once and for all that she needed to move in with her. And then she would solve everything.

Sango looked down at her watch just past two. As dark ad it looked outside you would think that it was night fall by then.

Sango raced through the hard downpour to get back to her dorm apartment. Once she got there she decided she would call Kagome over and have that talk. The faster the better.

Sango was making her way through the hallway to her place. Inuyasha waited outside of his apartment that was across from hers. His hands were folded as he leaned against the door with his eyes closed.

“Uh, Inuyasha?” Sango questioned gaining his attention.

“It’s about damn time. Miroku should be back in a few. He wanted to grab some tea to brew from his place.” Inuyasha chuckled pushing himself from the wall and over towards the still confused Sango.

“We need to talk.” He announced pointing between him and Sango.

Great ten bucks to what this conversation was going to be about.

“What are you talking about” Sango sighed opening up her door and walking in. Inuyasha followed suit.

“Don’t play dumb with me Sango. Where is Kagome’s dorm? Is she not safe or is something wrong?” Inuyasha demanded beginning to become aggravated.

“Again Inuyasha what are you talking about?” Sango tried once more to fool him. She didn’t want the whole situation to blow up.

Inuyasha headed for the leather couch in Sango’s living room. She took a seat in the matching recliner knowing that this probably was not going to go her way.

“Earlier I asked Kagome where she was staying and she lied the same way you did when I asked you as well. So I want to know what is going on? And don’t you lie to me again.” Inuyasha warned.

“Why the sudden interest Inuyasha?”

“Answer my question Sango!” Inuyasha firmly asked again.

“And I asked why the sudden interest? Kagome was here for a whole week and you didn’t even bother with her then. And to be honest I think it kind of bummed her out. We all obviously know something has been going on with you where Kagome is concerned. So why now Inuyasha maybe I want answers too. And don’t you try to bully me it won’t work that easily.” In her intense accusations Sango had risen from the couch pacing and pointing fingers at the dog demon.

Inuyasha’s ears laid down slightly as if he was being berated like a child. Actually if anyone was good at that it was Sango.

“Look I don’t know alright,yYa happy? But what I do know is my nose is telling me that something isn’t right! I don’t want something bad to happen to her. It would well it would make things harder on Miroku.”

Sango’s phone vibrated against her. She welcomed the intrusion to get away from Inuyasha’s accusations. The caller id read Kagome. Perfect she can meet up with her and then tell Inuyasha that she was just moving in with her and be done with the whole thing.

“Hey, Kagome I was just about…”

Kagome panicked voice yelled in to Sango receiver. She rambled so fast Sango could barely understand.

Inuyasha rouse out of the couch picking up Kagome’s hysterical voice in the phone.

“Kagome calm down, slower I can’t understand what you’re saying.”

“This girl Yura I think threatened me earlier and I came back to the door and oh god. Sango they said they were doing her a favor and are trying to get in. The door I don’t think the door is…”

“Kagome? Kagome?” Sango yelled. The phone beeped signifying it was off hook.

“Abunai oni.” Sango whispered.

“Are you fucking kidding me?”

Sango didn’t have the time to even say anything to Inuyasha indirect insult. A split second after he was gone.

Miroku rushed through the door a moment after confused.

“Hey Sango Inuyasha just shot out of her like a bat out of hell. What’s going on?” He asked.

Sango looked up at him with a concerned look.

“We need to go. Ill fill you in.”
