Kagome gaped at Inuyasha while Ikozawa gave him a skeptical look. "Inuyasha," He started, "Like I mentioned before, I understand your concern for her and everything, but are you sure you know what you're saying?"
Inuyasha glared at him. "What are you trying to say, old man? That I can't handle it because I'm only a half demon?"
"Now don't be brash Inuyasha. I just want to be sure that you know what you're committing yourself to."
Inuyasha harrumphed. "Of course I know what I'm getting myself into."
Kagome still looked between the two of them, not believing what was going on. "I'm still here you know? What about how I feel in all of this?"
They both finally turned to look at her. "Of course we care how you feel Kagome. Go ahead and tell us what you think." Her Uncle gave her a comforting smile.
Kagome frowned and looked at her hands. She had too many thoughts running through her mind at once to even begin to remotely express what she was feeling. "I honestly have no idea what to think. Things have been happening way too fast lately, way too much. Who knew being a demon could be so painful and confusing. I appreciate both of your concerns but I think I'll just live through the pain and stay locked in my room. I mean how long could it really last?" She shrugged her shoulders.
Ikozawa shifted closer to her and let out a sigh. "Kagome I'm going to give you the details on this. Now, I'll back you up on whatever decision you make but I'll have you know that if your life is in danger because of the pain I will not allow you to not be mated." He gave her a serious look and all Kagome could do under his gaze was give a slight nod. "Good. Anyways, the heat cycle varies greatly upon the person. Some recorded heat cycles have only been a whole 24 hour period, while others have lasted months. The pain also greatly depends on the person. When your lust is at its peak so is your pain and this is the best time to be mated. After mating, which happens throughout the night, the heat cycle usually ends."
Kagome processed all of this information as more anxiety welled up inside of her. 'In heat for months? God, I hope I don't become that unlucky!' She certainly did not like that sound of what she was hearing, but she was a strong young woman and knew that somehow she would prevail through it. She did have questions that were nagging at her mind. "Okay, I can get through all of that, but I have some serious questions. What about the pregnancy risks? When animals go into heat, they're usually looking for a mate so they can reproduce. Well no offense, but I don't want any children right now. I'm only 18 and becoming a parent is a big commitment…" She trailed off on thoughts of little Inu-babies.
Ikozawa chuckled. "I knew that would be one of your biggest concerns, and don't worry, we have ways to prevent pregnancy if you so wish it. Yes, generally when animals and even demons go into heat, it is the best time to reproduce their young. Throughout the years, however, there were many concerned women such as yourself with not wanting kids and so they created ways to prevent pregnancy. Much like humans use pills and such as birth control, we've used magic, potions and various other things. Now, what are your other questions?"
Kagome had pondered this one since she heard the word "mate". She fidgeted before answering. "When you mate with someone, don't they become your mate for life and all? Wolves mate for life, and so do some dogs. That was why I was wondering. Don't get me wrong or anything, eventually, I want to be with the same person for the rest of my life but that is a big commitment to decide right at this moment in such a dire situation." She refused to look at Inuyasha at this point because she felt uncomfortable.
Her Uncle smiled at her. "Kagome, I am so glad you asked me that and in fact, I was worried that you wouldn't. You're a very smart girl because you are exactly right; it is too big of a choice to make when your situation at hand is desperate. I believe I can ease your worries though because no, you do not have to mate with someone and expect to be their mate forever. Back in the old days, this was a law by everything but paper. Just like humans arranged marriages for their children in the past, this is rarely a custom anymore. In fact, females in heat have been known to choose more than one mate at a time or in a heat cycle. No, this does not make them a "whore" as humans like to call such things. We have variations of those terms, but they were only used when referring to someone who has in fact mated for life or gotten married and has cheated. So if you chose to mate with more than one male, do not worry about what people will say, because no one should find out. I will see to that myself."
Kagome couldn't even imagine mating with one male let alone more. "Thank you, Uncle Tamaki. I feel much better knowing more about what is going on than being in the dark about all this." She smiled at him.
Tamaki smiled back as her. "I'm glad I could help Kagome, and you know that I'm always going to be here when you need advice. But I have my own question. When or if it comes down to the fact that you need to choose a mate or mates, who is it that you will choose?" He didn't look at Inuyasha as he asked, but Inuyasha's ears seemed to perk up more at his question. That was the biggest reaction Kagome has seen from him this whole time.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha herself, thinking about her feelings towards him all these years and the moments they've shared since they were reunited and when she had her reality "dreams". Her stomach did flip-flops as she thought about him being her mate. Her thoughts strayed then to Draco and what they've gone through since she met him. She remembered how it had felt to see him with Pansy and she became angry. Despite all of that, though, she couldn't help but remember what his lips felt like when they touched hers, the chemistry they had between one another and the way he acted around her compared to when he was around others. The more Kagome thought about the word "mate" the more she wanted to giggle as thoughts of Koga came into her mind. Though annoying at times, she admitted to herself that she missed the wolf demons claims of ownership over her. She really wanted to make a joke that she was already spoken for when it came to a mate. She wondered what he would think about all this. Kagome must have been too deep in thought to realize that she hadn't said anything for a while because Tamaki cleared his throat to get her attention. "This is something I really have to think about more, but I promise if the time comes for me to have a mate I will have an answer. This, after all, is my virginity we're talking about, and I take that seriously."
"I understand perfectly Kagome. Now, enough of this talk, I do believe that it is time for breakfast. If you two would like to join me?"
Kagome smiled and stood up. "Of course Professor." She teased as they started towards the Great Hall. Inuyasha quietly followed behind.
When they arrived Tamaki parted ways with them so he could sit with the fellow professors. Kagome and Inuyasha chose spots beside the others who greeted them as they neared the table. No one questioned where they had been much to her relief. Per usual, Dumbledore gave a speech and then the food appeared. After everyone had chosen what they wanted, Sango decided to kick up the conversation. "So Kagome was everything alright this morning? I heard a lot of loud noises coming from your room and was a little concerned." Sango and Miroku gave both her and Inuyasha knowing looks that made them blush. Harry and the others looked at them curiously.
"No, everything was fine. Something fell, and before I could help it, it made a big commotion. I hope I didn't disrupt your sleep." She smoothly replied.
"Oh no, I was pretty much waking up myself anyways," Sango said as well, letting it go. Kagome, however, caught the look she gave Miroku.
Kagome sighed to herself without anyone noticing. She knew that she would have to warn the others about her predicament, but right now just wasn't the right time in her opinion. As everyone talked to one another about classes and this and that Kagome tried to enjoy her pancakes. There was a nagging feeling of eyes on her and eventually, she couldn't ignore it any longer. Casually she looked around, and doing so brought her to realize that it wasn't just one set of eyes on her but multiple…and all males, from each and every table. 'What the hell are they all looking at?' She thought. She wiped at her mouth with a napkin before realizing that people from a table away wouldn't be able to see anything on her face even if she did have some syrup smeared there. A lot of the guys would avert their gazes if they realized she noticed them looking at her, while others would wink at her or smile. She became increasingly freaked out. She decided to block it out and just concentrate on everyone around her. She was having a conversation with Hermione and Sango when she was tapped on the shoulder. Confused she turned around to see a boy her age from Ravenclaw standing there with a shy smile on his face. "Yes?" She inquired.
"Hey Kagome, I was just…uhm…wondering if you would like to study together sometime or something? You know like a date?" He scratched the back of his head as he still smiled. Kagome couldn't even believe this was happening. She's never even talked to the kid before. She also became acutely aware that people from all around the Great Hall were watching. 'Why does this shit always happen to me? I might as well have "sideshow" stamped on my forehead for all the attention I get!' As she was about to politely turn him down, Inuyasha let out a growl beside her. Kagome turned to look at him, and he had a snarl on his face. The Ravenclaw boy glanced his way as well and started to fidget. "So about that date…?"
Kagome looked back at the kid and gave him a polite smile, again trying to turn him down. Inuyasha decided to interrupt again of course. With a louder snarl, Inuyasha turned around to face the kid and began to crack his knuckles. The kid in mention looked like he was about to…well about to piss himself. "Look here kid…Kagome is not interested. Especially when all you want to do is get your dick wet. Now get out of here before I have to get rid of you myself. Understand?" The kid nodded and headed back to his table. Kagome was actually surprised that the kid didn't break out into a run.
After almost everyone returned to eating Kagome turned to glare at Inuyasha. "Really Inuyasha can't you go one day without threatening someone? I could've handled that myself!"
Inuyasha snorted. "What, were you going to actually go on a date with that kid? He was scrawny and worthless. If anything I saved your ass."
Kagome growled herself this time which surprised everyone at the table who was paying the slightest bit of attention. "No, I was going to politely turn him down. Not be an asshole!"
"Keh. Whatever. I was being nice; in fact, I think I was saving that kid from you."
At this point, Kagome's blood was boiling. Sango and Miroku shared another knowing look. "Uh Oh…" Shippo said, and everyone looked at him in confusion.
"Inuyasha…," Kagome said calmly and with a smile.
Inuyasha looked at her mid-shoving food into his gaping mouth. "Wha-?"
"Sit Boy." BAM. The place got completely silent; some exclamations of "what the hell?" were heard. Inuyasha was in a nicely sized Inu-shaped hole. Fred and George both busted up laughing, as did some others. Kagome excused herself and left.
On her way out she heard Miroku mutter, "Well, at least we know the rosary beads are still working." Sango's agreement ensued.
Kagome needed some time to cool off, so she had left only a few minutes earlier then breakfast would have let out anyways. As she neared Snape's classroom, she could hear the other students not too far behind her. She knew that she wouldn't see Inuyasha and the others till after her first two classes so she felt a slight relief. Professor Dumbledore had allowed Inuyasha and the others to accompany Kagome to her classes as they pleased, but she was sure that today they would keep their distance. Kagome took her usual place at the front of the class. Hermione, Harry, and Ron soon filed into the classroom and took their seats around her. They gave her wary looks.
Harry was the first to speak up. "Are you alright Kagome?"
Kagome smiled at Harry, and she finally took notice to how beautiful his green eyes were. "I'm fine Harry. Inuyasha just isn't used to me being able to do things on my own. He never was able to."
Ron felt safe enough to say, "You know it was a really scary thing what you did to Inuyasha."
Kagome giggled. She finally took her gaze off of Harry's eyes and Harry couldn't seem to get the silly grin off of his face. "Oh that…yeah, it's nothing."
"Nothing? You forced him into the ground! What kind of spell did you use?" Hermione asked.
Kagome shook her head. "The necklace around Inuyasha's neck is enchanted. Every time I say "sit", well you saw what happens. I've only ever used it when he's really pissed me off, or when the situation seemed necessary."
At this point, Snape came in and the whole class began to get quiet. Snape asked a bunch of questions and collected their homework. "Today class, we'll be mixing a poison, after you have mixed the poison, I will make sure it is made correctly. Then you are to make the remedy for the poison. This will require partners," at this point the class got excited, "Partners that I will pick for you." The class groaned.
Snape started to rattle of the pairings: Hermione and Pansy, Harry and Goyle, and to Kagome's dread, her and Malfoy. Snape explained what page it was on and had them get with their partners. Malfoy obviously wasn't moving from the darkest part of the room, so Kagome sighed and grabbed her stuff to go to him. Before she headed his way, though, she felt a grip on her arm. She turned to see Harry giving her a concerned look. "I know you can take care of yourself and everything, but if he starts to harass you, come over here and I'll work with you. Forget what Snape says."
Kagome gave him a smile and worked her way to the back of the classroom, being sure to not bump anyone else who had started working. Pansy gave her a dirty look as she passed, and Kagome growled at her, which had Pansy looking away real fast. Kagome finally reached to where Malfoy was, placed her stuff down and opened her book to the page Snape had suggested. Malfoy himself stood up. "I'll go get the ingredients." Was all he said, and he walked over to the various cabinets Snape kept things in.
Kagome was slightly disappointed that that was all he had said. She expected more; another apology, anger, she wasn't sure. All she could do was think about yesterday in the courtyard. After placing water into their cauldron, and getting it to a boil, she began to read over the directions in the book when Malfoy finally returned with an armful of ingredients which he gently placed on the table. As he started to cut up some roots, Kagome glanced over at him secretly, inspecting his face. He still seemed to have dark circles under his eyes, though they weren't as dark as she had seen them before. His neck had scabbed over wounds where Inuyasha's claws had dug into his skin, and his lip was also still swollen from where Kagome had smacked him. She felt the satisfaction of hitting him, but she didn't show it. They didn't talk at all while they worked, smashing, cutting, squeezing and mixing the ingredients into the water. Kagome noticed Harry, Hermione and even Ron's worried glances they sent her way, even though it was hard to see her from where she was in the room. Snape was doing his usual sweep through as he scrutinized their work. He stopped at Malfoy and Kagome's potion which was still brewing and smirked. "Now this is what I call a poison. I wouldn't expect any less from you Malfoy, and you as well Kagome."
"Thank you, Professor." Kagome and Malfoy both replied, and Malfoy actually smirked. Snape went to the next group of students, who didn't get as good of a review as she and Malfoy had judging by their faces. They began their second assignment, starting up another cauldron with water. Kagome silently offered to go get the ingredients this time. As she was walking back to the table, she somehow lost her footing, tripped, and began to fall. She could have easily saved herself with her new demon reflexes, but unfortunately, that would mean dropping the ingredients, and some of those ingredients were very dangerous if not handled correctly. So facing the fact that she was going to fall she grasped the ingredients more closely, and just when she thought her nose was formally going to meet the floor, she was in someone's arms.
Kagome smelled Malfoy's musky scent before she saw that it was him who had caught her. "Are you okay?" He asked her, looking her all over as if he was going to find a fatal wound.
"Yes, thank you." She said to him. He just gazed back at her. "Uhm…Malfoy, can you please let me up?"
Malfoy blushed and apologized as he righted her. They both walked back to the table, and Kagome placed the ingredients safely on the table. Kagome was happy to know that no one seemed to notice their little incident. As they got back to work their arms would every so often rub against one another's, or they'd accidently bump one another and they would apologize silently. When they were almost done, Malfoy got increasingly closer to Kagome but she didn't really mind much to her surprise. She shivered as Malfoy's hand brushed away a stray hair that had lingered in front of her face and she looked up at him. His eyes lingered on her face and he smiled shyly. At one point it was Malfoy who shuddered, and Kagome gave a slight gasp as his lips softly brushed her ear. "You smell so good." She blushed as she sat there and took her notes on what they had done that day. Kagome was having a hard time concentrating with Malfoy so close to her, and his scent kept tickling her nose. The class was drawing to an end, and Snape had them bottle up and mark their work. After cleaning up, Snape discussed what their homework was and then dismissed the class. Before Kagome got any closer to the door, she felt something slip into her hand and then Malfoy walked past her. Confused, Kagome looked to see a small piece of paper that seemed to be ripped from a notebook in her hand. In Malfoy's scripted handwriting was the words: "I miss you…"
Kagome looked back up to see Harry and the others waiting by the door for her. Kagome gathered her composure and slipped the paper into the pocket of her bag, unnoticed. When she got to the others, and they were on their way to the next class, she was caught up in the other three's chatter. "So Kagome, how did it go, being Malfoy's partner and all?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah did he give you any crap, or make you do all the work?" Ron asked as well.
Kagome smiled. "No guys, it was actually okay surprisingly. No threats, mean words, or any of that. We hardly talked at all except when asking to pass the ingredients and we both made the poison and remedy in no time together. Snape actually complemented our work."
"Wow." Was all they said, and then they continued talking about how each of their work went in turn. Hermione commented on how stupid Pansy was, which made them all laugh. All the while thoughts of Malfoy and the note swam in Kagome's mind.
