The whistle in the distance blew the final signal to end the dozen laps around the pool. The chlorine scented water clung to Kagome like life support, filling her lungs and sliding down her skin as she finally came to a halt and rested her arms against the edge of the school’s pool. Today was the first day for practice in her new school, and even though she knew it would be difficult training to push her to her full potential, she never knew it’d be this tough.
Twelve laps back and forth in a 50m size pool, was almost enough to break her completely. Luckily, today’s training was swimming to and from with a 25m distance. She had to admit, her muscles were beginning to burn but she loved the feeling. Swimming was something that had always called out to her; it’s what made her feel alive more than anything.
Since the day her father passed away in his car accident on her birthday, she fell into a silent depression. She looked up to her father, and admired him the most of her parents. It wasn’t as if she didn’t love her mother, she just held a bigger heart for her father. So when she lost the man she looked up to the most, her world shattered to millions of pieces and she found herself on the edge of a falling to a deep sleep.
She had just turned ten that day, and after receiving the news, she felt a pair of hands clutching her entire heart and squeezing until it finally shredded apart. The tears she shed that day were the most she ever cried in her life. It wasn’t until a few weeks after that she found herself looking at her image from the river’s stream. The moonlight was bright, but as she stood under the bridge looking at the rough current she made sure no one saw her.
There would be no stopping her from seeing her father once again. To escape the pain she felt, and the loss she knew she wouldn’t live another day with. Shedding her tears in silence, she continued looking at that image of herself. No second thoughts came to mind, and she knew it would all be over soon once she stepped foot into the ice water calling her name.
Closing her eyes, she welcomed the feeling of letting go as she fell into the rough current. Feeling herself being swayed away until finally she came to the middle of the stream and felt herself slowly sinking to the bottom. It was only a few seconds away until the pain of water crushing her lungs and suffocating her would take her away to a place of peace. Uncurling herself from her fetal position, she felt as if she was floating while slowly letting the air in her lungs escape.
Opening her eyes, she looked up to see the moon gazing right back at her, growing darker the lower she sank to the bottom. This would be it, and she would be saved. Holding onto the last single breathe in her lungs, she felt an odd warmth surround her and before she knew it the vision of her mother came to mind. Tears no longer her own being shed for another loss. Heart ache filled with such heavy sorrow surrounded the room with loud cries of anguish.
Her skin chilled with goosebumps, Kagome realized she wouldn’t be leaving peacefully. How could she be so selfish to not see that her mother and brother were suffering as well? How would they be now knowing that another member of their already breaking family drowned?
Looking back to the moon, she rushed towards the surface feeling her brain ache and lungs burning from the lack of oxygen. She fought against the heavy fluid, racing against the ice current that chilled her to the bone. She would not leave her family, not now nor ever. Feeling the urge to inhale, she struggled further until finally she reached the surface and took in a deep breath of air of a whole new chapter. The will to live. Tears cascading along with the water sliding down her face, she swam to the edge of the stream and lifted herself up onto the concrete ground.
Crying until her heart’s content, she found herself no longer suffering from the loss of her father. It hurt, regardless, but she found a new reason to live and that was for her mother and brother. Lifting up from the ground, she wrapped her arms around herself to keep some of the body warmth from leaving. Walking in the silence of the small neighborhood, she finally reached her street.
Ever since then, she had kept her incident a secret. Her mother suggested therapy for the loss of her father, but she found her new healing fountain - the water. It could have killed her then, but instead renewed her into who she was now. To her, water was life and death, but she lucked out and became born again into this world.
Resting her head against her arms, the smell of chlorine constantly soothing her, she finally pulled herself up onto the edge and sat down as she waited for more instructions. Looking up across the swimming room to the clock barely visible, she smiled at the time. For as long as she could remember, her most favorite class always took slowly to end. She never complained about it, she actually enjoyed it the most. This was the one thing she looked forward to every day - to swim with the water that gave her life.
“Alright, we will have a few practice sessions. Get into teams of three and line up in the lanes.” Satomi ordered out as she pushed herself out of the pool and walked over to the pool chair that held today’s training material.
Every student jumped from the pool quickly and obeyed the orders given from their team captain. Nervous, Kagome looked around wondering who she would be teaming up with, but as typical none came her way. Feeling like an outcast, she looked over to her cousin who still had her back to them while writing some stuff down on a clipboard.
“Higurashi-san?” Jumping at the sound of her voice, she turned around to see a blonde woman with tantalizing green eyes and a smile. “Would you like to join me and my partner?” She spoke with an accent, but still fluently smooth Japanese.
“Oh! Yeah that would be awesome.” Kagome chuckled lightly as she followed the blonde woman who barely surpassed her in height by a few inches.
Coming to a halt with the other partner of their group, male with dark brown hair and blue eyes, foreigner, the girl turned around to Kagome. “This is Nystrom Eriku, and I am Nystrom Serina. You can call us by our first names, it won’t bother us very much.”
“Oh wow, you guys are foreigners? Where are you from?” Kagome asked excitedly.
“Switzerland.” Eriku answered with a smile of his own. “Our family decided to move here a few years ago.”
“That’s really awesome. What do your parents do?”
“They are business partners with Taisho Industries, and are also known for their luxury vehicles back in our homeland.” Serina smiled as all three of them made their way to the tenth lane. “What does your family do, Higurashi-san?”
Feeling herself grow instantly scared and still, she swallowed down her fear and looked over at Satomi who finally looked back over to her. Inhaling, she tried to think of anything or possible distract them until, but nothing was coming up. ‘Think before they think something is wrong.’ Why should she be so pressured into lying? Why does she even care for anyone’s opinions but her own? Was this school really that amazing for her to just lie about where she is from?
Clearing her throat to speak up finally, she was caught off guard when she heard Satomi’s voice. “Hey, Kage-san, since you are new on my team I will need you to be first and Eriku-san last since he is currently the fastest as of now.”
Usually she would be insulted, but she pushed it aside and thanked whoever for the distraction. “Yeah, of course Sato-san.” She replied back with the usual nickname that earned her a few shocked expressions from the other swimmers. Ignoring them, she made her to the front and pushed up onto the small dock while placing her goggles back over her eyes and bending over in preparation.
The whistle blew and Kagome found herself diving into the pool and pushing her aching muscles to the limits as she raced against the other swimmers. She would have to thank her cousin once more when they got the chance.
It seemed to have taken forever until practice was done. Today marked the first time that Kagome actually wanted class to be over with. She still avoided to answer the Nystrom pair, and fighting with her own morals on why too. It made no sense why she should please those who were shallow and narrow-minded. If people didn’t like her, that was their problem, not hers. She came here to succeed in something she loved, and if that was too much for these snobs in this school to handle, she would gladly go back to her old school.
But with even that in mind, she felt conflicted either way. She wasn’t sure why, but she knew deep down that right now wasn’t the right moment to spill the beans about being a middle class shrine keeper. Nodding to herself, she decided it would be best to just keep her background a secret until she felt more secure to admit where she was from. Sadly, it still felt so wrong.
“Hey, Kagome!”
“Oh, hey what’s up?” She turned around to find Satomi heading towards her with a towel draped over her shoulder and a bag being carried in her hand.
“You alright? You seemed a bit scared earlier.” Satomi asked quietly while grabbing Kagome’s bag with clothes and leading them to a more private part of the shower room.
“Well, if you must truly know, Eriku and Serana, or was it Serene - anyway, they asked me what my family does for a living and I froze.” Kagome whispered as she mindlessly followed after her cousin.
Placing the bags and towels down in the dry part of the shower room, Satomi pulled back the curtain to her half of the shower room. “Yeah, the Nystrom twins are probably the most superficial people on my swim team. Great swimmers, but they only associate with higher classmen. Reason they talked to you was cause they know we are related.”
Turning on the shower on the other side of the shower room, she sighed in content as the cool water crushed against her lightly heated skin before warming up. “I just don’t get why I have to hide who I really am?” Kagome finally asked as she shampooed her hair and lathered her chlorine scented skin.
“The people here are vicious towards those are not of high class. They will not only aim to make you miserable for being in the same room as them, but will ruin your life the best way they know how. Trust me, I’ve seen enough of it to know what I am talking about.” Satomi whispered loud enough for Kagome to hear.
After they rinsed out their hairs and cleaned their skin from some of the chlorine, they dried off and changed into their uniforms. “Are people truly that horrible?” Kagome finally asked.
Satomi didn’t bother to look over at her cousin. She hated to admit the cold hard fact that rich people were snakes only aiming for one thing - power or wealth, or both. No one could ever be trusted, and if you trusted you were a fool. Sighing, she nodded and replied back in a low whisper. “Yeah, we are that horrible. To us, titles and how much you have means everything. Or you are nothing.”
“I don’t think you’re like that.” Kagome looked over to her Satomi, placing a hand on her shoulder. “You said so yourself, not all of you are horrible and shallow. It was wrong for me to assume such a thing, but it does make me freaking mad to know there are people that ugly out there.”
Chuckling, Satomi shrugged and smirked. “Some have a reason why they are like that, some only know that lifestyle and probably will never learn anything beyond that and there are others who are just power hungry. Either way, you can’t really judge a book by it’s cover until you truly know them in their darkest period and brightest one.”
“Yeah, I guess you are right.” Kagome finally sighed. “I guess I am just as bad as though who see poor people as dirt. Who am I to judge really? Anyway, let’s change the topic will you be eating with me today?”
“Probably not. Sesshomaru came to school pretty pissed off and if I am not there with him, he’ll probably do something dramatic.” Satomi confessed.
“Oh. Wait, is Sesshomaru the one with silver hair and amber eyes?” Kagome asked quickly until she realized how desperate she sounded. Looking to the ground to cover her blush, she swallowed hard and repeated her question, “I mean, Sango said he was, I just wanted to see if it was true.”
Stopping beside her cousin, cocking a brow and sighing, “No, Kage-san. Don’t develop a crush on this guy. The last thing you need is your heart broke, because Mr. I-Am-Too-Good for anyone only likes yokai women with higher standards and wealth that matches his. He is the definition of ‘Shallow Pompous Spoiled Brat’.” she finally finished off with a snarl.
“I don’t like him!” Kagome defended. “I just thought he was really handsome, but after you saying all that I am not too sure I would even like him now. He sounds like a real jerk, just like his brother.”
“Half-brother.” Satomi corrected. “Don’t ever tell them they are brothers to their faces, you will regret it. But yeah, I can give you that, Sesshomaru is handsome but he is a spoiled punk who thinks he’s entitled to everything.”
Chuckling, “You sound like you know him very well, Sato-san.” Kagome placed her things into her locker and grabbed her book bag and waited for Satomi to gather her things as well.
“It’s because I do.” She confessed. “I know him more than his damn family and understand him better than he does sometimes. I was the first one to befriend him when we were younger, because I spoke to him like he was a normal boy in school. Ever since then, no one can really pry me away from his fingers. I have every class with him, except for swimming. And we live almost right by each other. He won’t admit it to anyone, but if I am not around him, he will become this cruel heartless jerk because he feels-”
“Sato-san?” Kagome looked over to her cousin, curious why she stopped mid-sentence. “Are you alright?”
Satomi continued to stare at the picture in her locker of her and her close friends. Sliding her fingers across the image of Bankotsu and Sesshomaru, she finally sighed and looked over to her cousin. “Yeah, I am fine. I was just remembering the day I got so sick I had to stay home from school. Bankotsu knew about it, but Sesshomaru didn’t.”
“Oh?”
“Yeah. Sesshomaru was so upset he skipped class and had his personal driver take him to my house. People think he is a heartless ice prince, but he is actually soft and kind. His eyes are cold, and he rarely shows an expression. He barely even speaks his thoughts or anything without it being a ‘hn’ or ‘ah’.” She chuckled lightly while resting her finger tip against Sesshomaru’s image. “I get upset when people call him harsh names, but I understand why though. I am the only one who can touch him and gain a smile from his cold lips.”
“It almost sounds like you love him, Sato-san.” Kagome whispered while gazing at the photo in her cousin’s locker.
“I do love him, Kage-san. But it is not in the way you think. We just both know more about each other than our own family knows about us. Deep down, I really wish there will be someone to make him smile the way he does for me because my heart truly belongs to this one.” She pointed over to Bankotsu. “And he’s also the only one who understands mine and Sesshomaru’s relationship.”
Smiling, she wrapped her arms around her cousin’s shoulders and sighed. “If he truly is as nice as you say he is, why share it with anyone else?” Kagome finally asked, fighting the strange sensation of jealously away.
Pulling her cousin’s arms away, she shook her head. “I don’t want others to see his smile, Kage-san. I want someone else to make him happy, because the love he truly seeks from me I cannot give him. We both know it, but because of that, he has become more colder to others and has held onto me tightly. It’s cute, but I need air to breath too.”
“Why not introduce me to him?” She felt herself freeze as the words slipped from her lips. How could she have said something like that?
“Kage-san.” Satomi cocked a brow. “Just because I know his true kind self, doesn’t mean others will be just as privileged. Now come on, we need to hurry for lunch before Sesshomaru gets out of class.”

“I don’t think she will be coming today.” A deep, cool voice spoke up over to the silver-haired yokai.
Sitting in the same position, not bothering to gaze over at the hanyou sitting beside him, and keeping his eyes shut as he continued to wait for Satomi - Sesshomaru only made a low grunt in response. It would be meaningless to talk with the red-eyed hanyou, but deep down inside he knew he should ask why. Slowly opening his eyes, he gazed around until he finally found the blue-eyed human who currently was lounged in a strange position on the couch before him.
As if on queue, his prayers were answered as Bankotsu asked. “Why do you think she won’t be coming today, Naraku-san? She always comes for lunch, every single day. We all know this.” Exactly, his lovely Satomi would never bail on him, no matter what.
Sighing, Naraku lifted up from his seat and walked over to Bankotsu, kicking off the human’s feet from the fine leather cushions. “Idiot, this isn’t for your filthy feet to rest on. Now, for your information, I just received news that a family relative had transferred here today. If anything, she might spend the lunch with her instead of with us.”
“Family relative?” Bankotsu sat immediately up, facing his blue orbs with the hanyou’s red ones. “How were you aware of this, but not us?”
“I pay attention who enters in this school, so should you.” Naraku scoffed while taking a seat beside the human male. “So, what will we do today Sesshomaru?”
“Hn.” It was all that came from him as he lifted from his chair and left the private room they all claimed as their sanctuary in school. Heading out of the small living area, he walked towards the back where they had a selection of games; pool table, video games, darts, and pong table. Resting against the soft plush sofa, he sank his fingers through his silvery hair and sighed.
It wasn’t like him to pout, but he really needed Satomi with him today, even if Bankotsu held all her attention. As long as she was here with him, in the same room, he could relax. He wasn’t sure when he became so dependent on anyone, especially a human, but when he saw her he saw a true friend. Someone who mattered to him beyond anything in the world. She cared for him, sincerely and truly cared for him. It was the most he could ask for from anyone.
But for her to hide the fact that a family relative had transferred today and to bail out for lunch, he felt a slight stab of betrayal. Resting his head back against the sofa, he inhaled slowly without being so noticeable until he finally felt a familiar presence enter the room. Quickly looking ahead, he smiled softly as his amber gaze locked onto to the familiar hazel orbs. “You’re late.”
“I had to show my cousin where thee lunch area was. I apologize.” Satomi smirked while walking over to sit beside Sesshomaru. “I didn’t make you worry much, did I?”
“Absolutely. Next time be more prompt, I don’t like wasting my time with people who can’t prove to be on time.” He smirked back while keeping his gaze locked at the entrance. With everyone still around, he risked being caught if he were to express himself freely. “Who is this family relative of yours, and why am I just hearing about it?”
“Didn’t think it would matter. She is not of importance, but she is still family who I do care for. Sesshomaru, look at me.” She finally sighed while resting her head on his shoulder.
Reluctantly, he turned his gaze down towards her and found his anger slip. Sighing, he sank his arm around her waist and pulled her onto his lap to hold her tightly. He felt secure and safe knowing she was here in his arms. She was his support, without her he was sure he’d had fallen a long time ago. “Am I not worthy enough to meet this family relative of yours?” He was jealous, he admitted, but why wouldn’t he when there could be someone else to steal the attention of the one he cared and loved?
“You wouldn’t like her.” She simply answered while placing her cheek on the top of his head. “No, start talking. Why are you so upset? And do not worry, the boys left to get lunch.”
Inhaling her scent, he felt his nerves finally calming. “Mother has seemed to take it upon herself to restrict me further.” Lifting up to touch her chin, he drew her attention down to his until he was sure she could see the mark on his neck that was hidden behind his collar and tie. “Apparently, the foul hanyou had insulted her during dinner last evening, and because father had strictly order he never be touched by her, she took it out on me.”
Gasping, she quickly began to untie the grey-tie and unbuttoned his white shirt. Pushing the material aside, she bit her bottom lip as she noticed the gash across his chest leading further down. “That bitch.” She snarled while lightly tracing her fingertips against the torn flesh. Tears pricking her eyes, she leaned down and placed a gentle kiss - a old memory of what she would always do when Sesshomaru gotten hurt secretly. She would kiss the pain away, and to make him feel better. “How could she do this to you?”
Running his fingers through her hair, he shrugged and held her tightly to him. “Don’t shed a tear, Mimi-san. It’ll heal. Just hold me like this please.” he tightened his grip around his best friend as he tried to wish the silent cries of Satomi away. He hated making her cry for his pain. He didn’t deserve it, but without her, he was sure he’d kill anyone who looked at him wrong. He’d be imprisoned for sure, if it wasn’t for his Mimi-san who told him sweet promises that always came true.
“I know you will heal, but it’s not right. How could she be so hurtful to you.” She pulled away, tears cascading down her cheeks as she reached up to touch the torn flesh that was slowly healing. “I hate her for harming you this way. I hate that damn jerk for causing you such pain every time!” She sobbed while curling up onto his lap and wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. “Please tell me this is the only wound that bitch had caused?”
His silence answered her, and she felt her heart breaking more for her vulnerable yokai. How could she protect him when she was just human? It made her feel so weak knowing there was nothing she could do except sit here and whispered sweet promises that everything will be alright.
Meanwhile, Bankotsu stood at the corner of the entrance, watching his fiance and Sesshomaru holding each other. He never had a problem with it, and even now he still didn’t feel a ounce of jealously. He knew what was going on, and before he finally asked Satomi to be his, he knew the relationship they held. He respected their relationship and knew what it meant if Satomi ever did disappear from the young lord.
Standing there, he looked onto the amber gaze that pierced through his soul. He didn’t’ bother to move, because unlike the others, he was the only one who saw the real Ice Prince for who he was. It broke his heart to hear his true love cry for someone’s pain, but it pissed him off to see someone so vulnerable cast such a mask to not get hurt.
Watching his love push back to fix Sesshomaru’s shirt, he smiled when she turned around and spotted him looking at the two. Wiping her tears, she smiled back and lifted from the yokai’s lap to walk towards him. “Where are the others?”
“Naraku and Jankotsu decided to head home, since their later classes can be done in private there.” He reached up to wipe the sliding tear from the beautiful face he loved so much. “Are you alright?”
“Of course. Oh! Have you ate yet?” She smiled, raising up to her toes to place a soft kiss against his lips.
“If you’d like, we can head to the cuisine in town that just opened up. French restaurant from what I was told.” Sesshomaru suggested while walking up behind Satomi and looking over at the other human.
“That sounds great, but we will have to return to school afterwards. I promised my aunt I would escort my cousins back home.” Satomi smiled while resting against the chest of her fiance.
Sesshomaru didn’t say a word, but cock a brow slightly at her plans. “I can’t leave her alone on her first day, she is already scared enough as it is especially when her encounter with Inuyasha.”
“She met the hanyou?” Sesshomaru wanted to smirk, hoping for once people would see the hanyou for the little trouble making shit he was. It was growing tired of everyone assuming he was the nice one, while he was the Ice Prince. He was a horrible title, and one he loathe.
“Yeah. Anyway, let’s go. I’m starving and I am not waiting another second for you two to talk about useless topics!” She brushed passed the two and made her way out of the private room. Bankotsu and Sesshomaru exchanged a knowing look, one that spoke of a contract of silence, before finally heading after the small heiress.

She wasn’t sure what to expect, but the more the hanyou continued to look at her the more she wanted to dump her ice cold drink all over him and storm away. How could someone be so mean, and expect respect like some king? It was sickening, yet she found it amusing.
“Inuyasha, you can’t just go and ask her questions like that. It’s wrong and you know it.” Sango glared over at her hanyou friend, while looking to the other male - Miroku Kasai - for help. “Say something to him!”
“Inuyasha, do not call a woman loose unless you know for sure.” The violet eyed male spoke from behind one of his hentai mangas. “And if you know for sure, saying it out loud will only get you weird looks, my friend.”
It was Kagome’s turn to finally speak after she felt humiliation steaming inside her. “Both of you are jerks! Pompous, entitled brats who feel it’s necessary to insult others because of rank and title! And hentai freaks with no respect for women or yourselves!” She snapped.
Placing his book down, Miroku gave a hurtful expression at her words than looked over to Sango. “Sango, my love, explain to her that I happen to respect, admire and love the woman’s body and mind. It’s Inuyasha who doesn’t know his way around the playground, let alone what the equipment is.”
“Shut it, you damn perverted idiot before I decide to beat the shit out of you and not the new girl!” Inuyasha threatened while turning his attention back to Kagome. “And you wench, what your mouth. No guy likes a woman who talks unless it’s a Yes Sir or No Sir. Got it?”
“Ha, in your dreams pal! Are you really this misogynistic? It’s pathetic! This is not the stone age buddy, this is the modern era and you damn will be prepared to know that women will stand up for themselves!” Kagome spat back while glaring her grey eyes at the hanyou before her.
Growling, he leaned forward. “What did you just call me? I am not some miso soup! Work better on your insults, wench!”
Blinking in shock, Kagome looked over to Sango who both exchanged looks to Miroku and all shared a laugh. “Are you sure you are well educated? Let me give you the proper definition of a misogynistic jerk. It means someone who has a strong dislike or hatred towards women. You think of us as the weaker sex too, but that is where you are wrong buddy!”
“Shut up! You’re giving me a headache!” Inuyasha waved her off and turned around in his seat while looking across the cafeteria that almost looked like a high-in café lounge.
“Is everything alright here, Kagome?”
All four eyes shot over to the familiar feminine voice that stood beside Kagome. Smiling, the young miko nodded until she noticed the two males walking up behind her cousin. Swallowing at the sight of the silver haired male, she averted her gaze quickly and suddenly felt the anger once again when she saw the handsome yet misogynistic jerk sitting before her. “I am fine, just telling this jerk how much of a asshole he is.”
“You watch your mouth, you damn wench!” Inuyasha threatened.
A cough averted the hanyou’s gaze as he locked onto this the familiar amber gaze such as his own. Rolling his eyes, he looked away. “Well, it seems that even out in public you act as an impudent half-breed. Disgusting to think that we share the same father. You bring nothing but dishonor among the Taisho family.” Sesshomaru spoke coolly while keeping his expression at bay.
Hiding the hurt in his eyes, Inuyasha looked over at his brother and scoffed. “Yeah, I wonder the same too. Who would want to be related to such a heartless prick who thinks highly of himself?”
Watching the two, she noticed the hurt in the hanyou’s eyes. Feeling for the hanyou, she turned around and looked at the older brother and glared her own eyes at the yokai. “What gives you the right to insult someone like that? Does it run in your family to insult just about anyone, no matter if they are family or not? Wow, Satomi I really can’t believe you hang out with such a cold and heartless jerk. I can actually understand why Inuyasha is a mean asshole, and it’s probably because he has to live with that!” She stated firmly while pointing over to Sesshomaru.
Ignoring his gaze, she turned away and looked over at the others. “Come on Sango and Miroku, I am suddenly not hungry anymore. Inuyasha, if you care, you can come along too. I seem to misjudge you.” She stated loudly enough for her cousin to hear. Looking over her shoulder, she noticed the hurt in Satomi’s eyes but decided to not say anything more. How could she be so foolish to let her cousin brainwash her into thinking Sesshomaru was ‘kind’?
He was anything but kind! Walking away with the others, she finally looked back to see her cousin being pulled into the braided-hair male’s arms while the other male locked onto her gaze. She felt her breath catch in her throat yet again, but this time it was followed by a ache in her heart. She didn’t’ understand why she would feel sorry or hurt to walk away from a mean jerk, but she did. Looking away, they each made their way out of the lunch area and headed to the track to sit at the bleachers.
Silence surrounded them for what seemed like hours. None spoke until finally the awkward tension was unbearable. “No one has ever stood up against Sesshomaru.” Inuyasha was the first to speak. He looked over to the new girl and with a newfound respect in his eyes, he smiled. “Thank you for standing up for me. I guess I misjudged you.”
Shaking her head, she smiled back and looked at the others. “I just don’t like seeing families fight. It’s heart breaking. If anything, I would do anything to have a whole loving family. Seeing other families fight is stupid and hurtful to see.” She whispered softly, thinking of her own father and the fact that she would never be able to see his face again.
“I agree, but no one has ever stood up against Sesshomaru.” Sango finally warned. “He isn’t the type to sit back and let people talk to him like an equal. And not only that, but Satomi probably won’t be on your side - family or not - because you insulted him. She cares deeply for each member of The Stars. Insult one, and you are nothing to her. She will ruin your life in a heartbeat.”
“What do you mean?” Kagome asked with a confused look.
“She means, there is a reason she has a reputation and people are afraid of her Kagome. There is also a reason why she is the right hand of Sesshomaru. You mess with her or her friends, she will ruin your life legally with just a few words. Not only will you suffer, but so will your family.” Miroku was the one to finally explain. “Kagome, your cousin will turn the richest family into homeless people in a day, with no chance of them ever getting back up.”
“It’s why the Taisho family is so nice and welcoming to the Hayashi family. Out of all five of them, your cousin is the most ruthless besides Sesshomaru. I just hope she won’t do the same to you.” He finally finished.
“She won’t dare. I can promise you that, Kagome. I owe you that.” Inuyasha finally spoke up while looking over to the new girl. “She won’t touch you, and neither will Sesshomaru. I promise.”
Swallowing from the information of her cousin and the spoken vow to protect her from the guy who was once insulting her, she nodded while trying to keep her heart from breaking and her eyes from tearing up. Did she really screw herself this time? No, this time she stood up for what she believed was right and with it gained three true friends.
Feeling Sango wrapping her arm around her shoulders, she smiled and thanked them silently while her thoughts went to the hurtful gaze of her cousin and the amber ones that kept looking at her. She wasn’t sure how, but she felt the look held some hate behind them, and for some reason it brought an ache to her stomach and broke her heart. She couldn’t understand it, but part of her regretted looking back.
But right now, she just wished she really didn’t screw up her life as badly as she thought. She really prayed she didn’t.
