School Just Sucks

A/N: oh my god! I updated! It’s a freaking miracle! You have to thank my little sister for this though. She begged me to put it up. But sorry it’s a short chapter. My arm is killing me for some reason so I can’t type much. But here you go. Just please people, R&R

Chapter nine: Mate to be

Kagome sighed as she stood in her mom’s room. She knew that some of her Dad’s old clothing should still be there. But her mind was far from clothes. She remembered when the two youkai thought she was in the kitchen while they were talking. Her eyes closed at the very thought of Sesshomaru’s words.

‘He intends to make me his mate.’ She thought to herself, blushing at the thought. She found her father’s pajama’s and held them tightly against her. “Why me?” She asked out loud to no one but herself. “Why someone like me? Sesshomaru could choose anyone but me, yet he intends to make me his mate. Why?”

Arms wrapped around her waist and a nose nuzzled her neck. “Because I’m attracted to you.” Sesshomaru’s breath brushed against her neck. “Your scent, it brings me to you. Your voice, it calms my beast. Your smile warms me to even my own cold heart. Kagome, you invade my mind when your not here, and my own body wishes to be pressed up against you. You make me feel things that I have never felt before.”

Kagome stood there in his embrace shocked beyond belief. It was as if he was admitting he was in love with her. She felt so warm, so safe there in his arms. As if no one could harm her. “How do I know your words are true?” She said softly.

He kissed her neck softly. “Would you rather me show you? Actions do show more then words itself.”

Kagome blushed. “Ex…excuse me?”

“Let me show you with my body instead of telling you with my words.”

She turned to tell him no only to have her words stick in her throat. The look in his eyes told her otherwise. He cared for her, even loved her. But Kagome knew that such a prideful man such as Sesshomaru would never say it. Only show it.

Sesshomaru watched Kagome. He did care for her and loved her. He wanted her more then anything. He even wanted her to be his mate now. He would tell her so, but he knew that actions would be better then words. “Let me show you how much I really care about you.”

Kagome bit her lip. “Okay…” She muttered.

He smiled and took her hand, taking her straight to her room. His smile didn’t fade as he was surrounded by her scent all over the room. He turned and wrapped his arm around her waist, bringing Kagome flush against his body.

“I wish to make you my mate once you graduate from school.” He said softly, his lips just mere inches from her own. “For now, I shall mark you as my mate to be. Inuyasha told me that you wish to save your innocence till your married. This I will respect. Will you accept my offer to mark you as my mate to be till then?”

Kagome blushed a little and nodded. “Do you really want to be with someone like me Sesshomaru?” She asked, her voice filled with uncertainty.

He pressed his lips against her in a slow, yet sensual kiss. “Till the end of our days.” He muttered against her soft lips. “Never before have I ever wanted to be with anyone like I wish to be with you Kagome.”

Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and instantly deepened the kiss. Her head swarmed as she felt his tongue enter her hot cavern. Her tongue moved with his, brushing up against each other. They tasted each other, loved each other. All this in one kiss.

Sesshomaru turned them quickly and pushed them both on the bed. He landed softly next to her, making sure never to break their kiss. He stopped though when he could smell the tears that spilled from her eyes.

“Kagome, what’s the matter?” He asked, a clawed hand brushing a tear away. “Are you not happy?”

Kagome shook her head and buried her face against his chest. “Its not that Sesshomaru. Its just… I’m so happy. Never before did I ever think I would be here with you one day. I dated Kouga once only to have him leave me for Ayami. Inuyasha, who I thought was my number one, left me as well. Then you show up, the school biggest playboy and just sweep me off my feet. I tried everything to ignore you, but I just couldn’t. Never did I ever think that I would be here lying in my bed with you and telling you that…” She sighed and looked up at him, her chocolate eyes looked deep into his golden ones. “I love you Sesshomaru. Can you tell me that this isn’t just a dream? That I’m not going to wake up and your not going to be there anymore?”

He smiled softly and kissed one of the tears away. “You are a woman beyond all beauty Kagome.” He answered her. “The fact that those two left you was their biggest mistake of their lives. I came to realize that I don’t need other women to be happy, but just you. All I need is you in my life Kagome. No, this is not a dream that you’ll wake from. This is our dream. But in this dream we’re both real. I wish to live my life with you, grow old with you, and even die with you when our time comes. I will never leave you. Not for the world.”

Kagome smiled and kissed him once more. “Then make me your mate to be.”

Sesshomaru kissed her softly, moving his mouth from her lips to finally her neck. He could feel his fangs lengthen, and without hesitation, he buried them into her soft skin. He could hear her gasp at the slight pain, but tried his best to sooth her as he began to lick the small droplets of blood.

“With this promise, I shall take you as my mate when we are ready.” He whispered against her skin. “With this mark, I will feel everything you feel. No man will take you away from me. No woman will dare to think that I can be taken from you. Soon we will be together forever.”

Kagome smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist. “I love you.” She whispered softly, her eyes slipping close.

Sesshomaru smiled and wrapped his own arms around her small body. “And I you.” He whispered.

Kagome groaned as she sat at the lunch table. All day girls had been whispering nasty things about her. It was driving her absolutely up a tree. She was getting hateful glares and she even had a girl come up to her and demand to take the spell off that she placed on Sesshomaru. If it wasn’t for Sango, Kagome would have just decked the woman and be done with it.

“I still can’t believe that Sesshomaru Taisho is dedicating himself to you.” Ayame sighed as she sat down as well. “The hottest guy in school is dating the most to her self miko. Who knew?”

Kagome glared at the woman who claimed to be her best friend. “Thanks for the encouragement. If I knew that school would get harder, I would have asked Sesshomaru to hold off on the marking till after I got out of school.”

Sango giggled. “Kagome, I’m not sure if you know just how popular you are with the guys. Of course Sesshomaru is going to mark you as a mate to be. He doesn’t want some other guy moving on his girlfriend. It’s also a way to make girls back off of him. It’s hard being the hottest guy in school. Though it’s going to be harder on you Kagome.”

The raven haired teen sighed and placed her forehead on the table. “I’m doomed. I hate having any sort of attention at all. Dating Inuyasha was fine because he was a Hanyou. No one cared that I dated him.”

“Kagome…” Ayame muttered.

“But Sesshomaru… On top of being the sexiest being on the face of the planet, he has high social standing. After all, he’s the heir to his father’s company.”

“Kagome…” The okami muttered again.

“While here I am, nothing more then a shrine miko whose grandfather believes everything has a legend. He just drilled me when he found out that Sesshomaru wants me to be his mate to be.”

“Should I talk to the old man?” Sesshomaru said to the distressed miko.

Ayame sighed. She tried to tell her friend, but it seemed that Kagome was too busy in her rant to notice her own boyfriend behind her.

Kagome instantly froze and looked up to see a curtain of silver hair and a smirking inu youkai leaning over her. “Um… Hi Sesshomaru…” She muttered, her face going red. Kagome could still remember the night he stayed over. Even the feeling of his lips against her own.

“If dating me is such trouble, then maybe I should take you away from here and make you my mate. That way they would leave you alone and you will be mine forever.” Sesshomaru gave her an evil look.

“Um… I think I’ll be alright…” Kagome still could only mutter. It seemed that words escaped her when it came to him.

Sesshomaru chuckled and took a seat next to her. “Kagome, the Christmas dance is only a few days away. I believe that I have won our little bet. Am I correct?”

The girl blinked a couple times. “Our bet?”

He reached out and caressed her soft cheek with a clawed hand. “That I would become the man of your dreams? You believed that you couldn’t fall for me, yet you did. This means your going to the Christmas dance with me.”

It took Kagome a moment before she realized what he was talking about. That was around the time she was trying to figure out who was sending her white flowers. That’s when it hit her. “You! You were playing the phantom!” She exclaimed.

Sesshomaru chuckled. “Will you be my princess and meet me out in the gardens at midnight?” He asked, pulling his hand away.

“Why is it always midnight?” Kagome muttered under her breath before a small smile reached her lips. “Alright Sesshomaru, you win our bet. I’ll go to the dance with you.”

The inu youkai leaned forward and pressed a kiss to her lips. “Good. I will pick you up then at five.” He stood and nodded to her friends before walking off, leaving a dazed Kagome behind.

“Oh she’s fallen.” Ayame chuckled.

Sango nodded. “She’s fallen hard.”

In the shadows, red eyes watched the scene unfold. This had to stop quickly. Sesshomaru was obviously under some sort of spell. A spell that the cursed Miko placed him under.” Turning quickly, the woman began to head down the hall. Naraku wanted to know the newest development. And Kagura had to deliver the news. After all, Sesshomaru belonged to all women. Not just one.
