Hey guys! Thank you for the review! Always nice reading those!
This chapter is a bit smaller, but next chapter will be longer hopefully. If everything goes as planned.
Thank you guys for reading and please review!!!
Night approached, and mostly everyone was asleep except Kagome. Looking over to her cousin who was currently snuggled against Bankotsu, she finally decided to move around without waking everyone up with a slight noise. Exiting the room, she looked down the large hallways until she finally decided to let one of them lead her somewhere.
The house was gorgeous, but not as beautiful as her cousin’s. This place just wasn’t as big as Satomi’s, but it was still beautiful. Heading down the hallway, as quiet as she could, she finally reached a door that lead to the wrap around balcony.
She needed time to be away from everyone, including Jak. The man just had a strong personality that left her uncomfortable and most of the time embarrassed. He really had no filter, and Kagome actually thought she was bad. Lightly laughing at the memory, she stepped foot onto the marble deck and was impressed by how warm it actually felt.
Could be her slippers though, she thought. Looking over to the side, she noticed some chairs and made her way to one to sit. It was relaxing out here, and even more stars came out to shine tonight. With the bright moon, and cool winter wind, everything was actually very peaceful. It reminded her of the water and how calming it would be to her soul.
Mindless to the company beside her, she rested against the seat and slowly began to sing a melody that reminded her of her father. She couldn’t place why, but lately she had been thinking about him a lot. It could be that the time was coming near - the anniversary of his death. She no longer cried, but she did feel broken that he was gone.
After the minutes flew by, the cold air numbing her exposed skin but not to the point of being uncomfortable, she began to think about what her cousin told her earlier. She wasn’t sure why, but the sound of hatred that came from her words about Sesshomaru’s mother bothered her. Even though she had come to know Inuyasha and Sesshoamru for over a month, she still knew nothing about them.
Inuyasha was always rash and kept most of his past to himself, except when it came to his brother. And Sesshomaru never spoke a word to her, if it wasn’t about Satomi. Grabbing her cell phone, a gift from her cousin, she looked through the few contacts she had.
Sango had already fallen asleep, same as Miroku. Inuyasha had yet to reply to her earlier message, but she figured he fell asleep now that he had a home alone from his brother. Either way, she was growing more curious about the Taisho family. Actually, she was growing curious about everyone’s family, including her cousin’s.
Everything around her with these new people was a mystery. One she couldn’t understand because just like Sesshomaru, they spoke nothing of their past. But even with all their secrecy, she saw the bond between each of them. The unspoken bond that told everyone around them that they were close together. No one could break that between them.
It actually made her a bit sad, that they only trusted each other and no one else - and if Satomi was right, they were only nice to each other. And those they considered family. It was heartbreaking, and it brought her to think of those hated words. Could Sesshomaru really live a life no one knows about?
Could Inuyasha be wrong? But if that was the case, why would Sesshomaru be such a cruel jerk towards his brother? Wouldn’ t it be wiser to be nice to him, and to prove everyone else wrong? Why would he prove everyone right, that he was a jerk to his brother and a spoil brat? It made no sense to her at all, which just left her clueless and wondering who to really believe.
Sighing from her thoughts, she rubbed her eye and mindlessly began to whisper to the wind. “It makes no sense.” The wind blew a bit harder, caressing her until it finally settled once more. “I mean, if Satomi believes Sesshomaru is this great guy, then why does he do cruel things? Wouldn’t it be smarter if he was nicer to his half-brother and not be such a jerk? Or is Satomi just as blind to the real Sesshomaru, thinking that he is actually nice when really he is a pompous jerk like Inuyasha claims?”
Groaning, she kicked out her feet against the marble floor and sighed against the wind. “It makes no sense.”
“Does it truly bother you that much?” A sooth voice echoed beside the young miko.
Startled with a near heart attack, she let out a squeak and looked over until she saw Naraku once more standing by a column on the patio - blowing a few rings of smoke. Clutching her shirt over her heart tightly, she let out a short nervous chuckle then finally caught her breath. “Oh, it’s only you. Kirai-san, you really terrified me there for a second.”
“Call me Naraku.” He smirked as he took another puff from his cigar. “So, you have yet to answer me.”
Blushing, she looked away in shame. “You heard everything, didn’t you?”
Nodding, he looked down at the girl until he finally walked closer to stand by the column railing in front of her. “If you really want to know more about him, become his friend. He’s very cold at first, but after a while you come to realize that is just how he is. He’s not as heartless as you may think though.”
“Yeah, and what makes you say that?” She scoffed with a roll to her eyes. “All I have ever seen from him is nothing but arrogance and rudeness.”
“He has his reasons for it.” Naraku shrugged, inhaling another puff. “Let me tell you a story. I was probably kindergarten, and at the time hanyous were a disgrace. They were bullied a lot more during my time than when Inuyasha first went into school. The guy had it easy, in my opinion. Well, anyways, I used to get bullied every day. Teachers didn’t care either, and no one seemed to mind the fact that I was the heir to Kirai Law Firm.”
Flicking the ashes off to the side, he continued on as he took another puff and exhaled a few rings. “Well, one day I saw Satomi. Beautiful smile and carefree. Everyone knew Satomi, especially Bank and Sesshomaru. No one messed with Bank because at the time, Jak was a first grader and didn’t mind making little kids cry if they picked on him. It kinda went along for all three of them when Bank friends Sato and Sess. Well, moving on, I was sitting by this old dusty tire. Alone.” He chuckled.
“No one bothered me that day, because I kept to myself in the dirty side of the playground. With the broken things.” He smirked, trying to hide the pain in his voice and eyes. “Well, I saw her. Sitting with them, laughing and looking beautiful as always. I’ve had this little crush on her for a while, and well so did many other boys. My top bully really liked her, and when he saw me looking at his ‘girl’ he came up to me with his friends. All together, they just started tackling me to the ground and began kicking me on the head and stomach. The teachers looked away, and I curled up into a ball trying to keep my cries low so the beating wouldn’t get worse.”
“Oh my god-” Kagome interrupted, shocked that something so cruel could happen to someone so small and little. “That’s so wrong.” She cried out softly, trying to hold back her tears as she continued to listen.
“Don’t cry, Kagome-san. I was so used to it, that day I was actually begging for death to come. They use to tease saying ‘Wonder how many kicks it will take to crack open your skull’, and such. Harsh stuff, but at the time I didn’t care. No one cared about a hanyou. Except for her.” He paused as he began to remember the day clearly. A smile over his lips, he looked over to Kagome. “Both her and Sesshomaru fought off the bullies, and after they ran off I saw them standing before me. Satomi had this busted lip, and Sesshomaru had a black eye. But she still smiled, and the one who offered their hand to pick me up was Sesshomaru. It surprised me, because no one could get a helping hand from him or anything. It was him who taught me to fight as we became friends, and it was him who taught me to never hold onto my anger.”
He finally finished, relaxing against the column as he watched the waves of emotions passing over the miko. She was speechless from what she just heard, and part of her wanted to get up and hug the hanyou for ever judging him evil. His brother was right! The pervert was right! Naraku wasn’t evil at all, just misunderstood. He had every reason to be scary, and honestly if it was her in his shoes she would be the same way. Gasping, she looked up to Naraku. “Are you telling me that there is a reason why Sesshomaru acts the way he does?”
He nodded then finally looked down. “Kagome-san, not everything you see if black and white. If a dog gets beat for doing nothing but gets blame for something, eventually the dog will do it to have a reason to be beaten. There is good just as there is bad in this world, but even the good can turn bad. It’s all a matter of perspective, and handling the situation to come. You can either listen to the rumors, or you can find the truth for yourself. Either way, who are you to judge someone because of how they are?”
“You’re right.” She whispered, ashamed that yet again she had to hear those words. It seemed all she did since coming to this new school and meeting them - all she did was judge them without knowing them. She was wrong for that. “I am sorry for misjudging you.”
Chuckling, he shrugged it off and looked over to the double doors. “I’ll be alright. I’m use to it, remember?” He joked, while keeping his eyes on the doors. “The one who you should apologize to is him.”
“Him?” She asked, confused at who he might be referring to. Looking back to the doors, she saw no one but the empty hallway leading towards the bedrooms. It finally hit her on who he was talking about. Nodding in understanding, she looked over to the spider and smiled. “Thank you, Naraku-san.”
“No problem, little miko.” He smirked. “And don’t worry, I am not the type to announce someone’s history. I don’t like mystery, and not knowing someone’s history, but I don’t spread it out. Unlike your friends and Satomi, I also know you are from a commoner family and you are on a scholarship program to be in our school. I won’t say a word, but I do want you to know - I am not here to judge. You need help, I don’t mind helping. You earned your keep.” Bowing his head, he finally walked towards the double doors and left the miko alone outside.
Sitting in silence, she watched as the spider left. Her gut twisting from not what she heard, but from how wrong she had been all this time. How could she have wrongfully judge those she clearly knew nothing about? Inhaling, she shook off her nerves and finally decided it was time to make amends. Getting up, she walked back inside the mansion towards the room she shared with her cousin.
Sesshomaru was in there. Even with it being this late, she needed to tell him how sorry she was. She just had to.
Meanwhile, Sesshomaru laid wide awake, listening to the air around him. Satomi and Bankotsu were fast asleep, same with Rin and Kohaku. But his reason for being wide awake was because of his beast. For the past two hours, he laid awake talking with it, trying to tell it to be quiet so he may get some rest. Even though he didn’t really need it.
But ever since Kagome left the room, his beast stirred awake and here they were - fighting as always.
‘Why must you be such a stubborn mule? Cease this at once so that I may rest!’ Sesshomaru ordered, as he turned once more in his small futon.
‘I am not stubborn. You are.’
Seriously? It was all the prince thought at the choice of his beasts words. He didn’t understand why it was so drawn to the girl, but he was getting annoyed by it. ‘She is fine. Go back in the cage you were once locked away in.’ He finally muttered out, pulling the blankets over his head.
Suddenly, the door opened and the scent of the girl came flowing in - hitting the prince’s senses. She smelled lovely, almost like powdered lavender. It was soothing and calm, and once again another contradiction to her wild spunk nature. It made no sense to him.
As his beast finally calmed down, the prince pulled his blanket from over his head and looked over to see the girl making her way towards him. Cocking a brow, he slowly sat up and glared at her as she came to a complete stop inches before him.
“Taisho-san?” She whispered, surprisingly not so loud to his shock.
“What is it?” He whispered back in his usual cold words.
“I want to speak with you.” She replied, nervousness laced with each words.
Groaning, he pushed off the blankets and quickly stood up making his way towards the door. Looking back, he noticed Kagome following after her and eventually they made their way out of the bedroom and into the slightly lit hallway. “What is it?”
Swallowing her fear, she looked around until finally setting her gaze on Sesshomaru. ‘So do it.’ She told herself, as she pinched her lips and eyes together. “I’m sorry for ever misjudging you. I am sorry for everything, and I just want you to know that I hope we could maybe start over.” Inhaling the air she quickly spewed out, she opened her eyes and looked up to a slightly shocked prince.
Sorry? For what? He thought to himself, finally curious at what brought on all of this. Clearing his throat, he looked down at the grey eyed girl and spoke in a lesser cold tone. “What is the meaning of this?”
“Well-” She paused, trying to gather the right words for what to say. Everything still felt wrong, but she knew she had to do this. Maybe what her and Inuyasha thought wasn’t right after all? What if Satomi and Naraku actually meant something by their words. “I realized I was wrong for thinking you were a ice cold prince. I was wrong for that, and I wanted to start over. I want to know why you show yourself as a cold person.”
“Why?”
“Because I feel there is more to your actions that what me and a few people were led to believe.”
“This is all pointless.” He finally replied. “No matter what you want or ask for, the answer you seek will always remain hidden. I am who I am, and that is all you need to know.” Scoffing, he turned around and walked back towards the bedroom door. Stopping, he looked back towards the girl who currently shook her head and turned away from him. ‘I am sorry, but those who are friends with my brother can never know. I rather be known as the bad guy, Kagome.’
“Kagome!” Sango shouted out from across the parking lot. Looking over to her best friend, her and Inuyasha stopped as they waited for Sango to catch up with them. “Sorry for being a bit slow.” The slayer chuckled as they finally began to walk forward.
It had been a few days since Kagome last spoke with any of The Stars. The night at Bankotsu’s house with Sesshomaru had left her distant from her cousin. It wasn’t that she didn’t like her cousin, or any of the other members, but Sesshomaru just left a bad taste for her at the moment. All this time, she tried to be nice but the jerk proved to be a jerk. It was making her sick, but after the past few days, she was beginning to forget about that night and the stupid jerk.
Looking over to Sango, she smiled and wrapped her arm around the slayer’s shoulders. “No worries, so who are you going with the dance?” Kagome grinned, wondering if her best friend finally decided to accept Takayuki’s proposal.
“Well, I decided to go with Takayuki, and before you say anything - No I am not going out with him.” Sango sighed. “I just accepted because he’s the only one that asked and the dance is tomorrow. But besides that, who are you two taking with you?”
Inuyasha felt his entire face burn with embarrassment, and without another word he responded. “I am taking Kagome, so be ready by seven alright?”
“What?” Shocked at the abrupt news, she looked over to Sango for help. “But, I don’t even have a dress. I wasn’t even thinking I will be going.”
“I can help you pick one out!” Sango grinned. “Besides, you need to go. This is the last time we will be on school grounds since we will be taking a month off from school. They plan on having the dorms up and installed by the middle of January. So, this will be a very big dance! You must attend!”
“Fine.” The miko chuckled, trying to yank herself away from the slayer’s death grip hug. “I will go, but you are so helping me pick out a dress.”
“Go with red and white.” Inuyasha informed. “My tuxedo will be white with a red vest. Reminds me of red tulips. They are kinda my favorite flower and color.”
“Alright than. Red and white it is.” Kagome chuckled while looking over to Sango. “So, who were you really hoping would ask you to the dance?”
Sango blushed and shook her head. “No, it’s just insane thinking about it.”
“Come on, it can’t be that embarrassing.” Kagome smirked, while leaning closer to the slayer. “Miroku?”
“Ew! No!” Sango shouted out, disgusted that the pervert would even be mentioned. “No way in hell would that ever happen.” She shuddered at the thought.
Sighing, the miko grabbed her friend and finally pulled them both into the girl’s bathroom. Looking around, she noticed they were the only two in there. Smiling, she finally turned around and grabbed the slayer’s shoulder. “Spill it. Who is he?”
Shaking her head, she refused to spill the beans. “No, there is no way I am saying it.”
Groaning, she finally decided to change plans. “Fine. Than I will go ask Miroku to see if he knows.” Turning away, she headed towards the bathroom door.
“No! Fine, I will tell you.” Sango caved, knowing that the only other person to know was Miroku. She could thank the hentai that he could keep a secret, but she wasn’t so sure if he would keep it from Kagome though. Sighing, she leaned up against the sink and bit her lower lip. “Promise not to laugh, because this is just really insane even saying this.”
“I promise.”
“Naraku.”
Time froze as the name left the slayer’s lips. Kagome stood there, shocked but with a smile over her lips. At first she would have told her best friend that was a terrible idea. Naraku was not the right guy, but after that night of really talking with him, she knew he was actually a good guy. He just rather be seen as a dark evil man, than the kind one he really was.
Finally letting out a soft chuckle, she pulled her best friend into a hug. “There is no shame in that.” She finally whispered. “He’s perfect for you.”
Laughing softly with the miko, she hugged her back and nodded. “I always liked him, but he’s never noticed me. I wish he did though.”
Pulling back, she looked up at her friend and smiled. “Why not tell him than?”
“I’m scared I’d be rejected.” Sango admitted. “He has all these girls after him anyways, so I really don’t compete with any of the hot ones that try to get his attention. It’s just a crush Kagome, which will eventually fade away after a while.”
“Just text him.” Kagome smiled. “Maybe he might feel the same way about you. Just tell him, or I will.”
Groaning, the slayer turned around and leaned back up against the sink. “You’re so wrong, but fine I will.” She chuckled while pulling out her cell phone. “If he rejects me though, I am not going to talk to you for an hour, alright.”
“Alright.” Kagome nodded, watching as her friend quickly sent a text message to the spider. “But if he does accept your confession, you are so going with him to the dance instead.”
“But what about Takayuki?”
“I will handle that.” Kagome grinned. “I can have Miroku ask one of his girlfriends to let them go on a date with him or something.”
Shaking her head with a laugh, she nodded at the thought. “Might work. Well, anyways let’s head to class before we are late.”
His shoulders were beginning to ache from all the drama that decided to begin at this early hour. He wasn’t sure if he should stay or go though, but seeing at the other two were sitting beside him he decided to stay and watch Satomi gripe at the prince. For two days in a row, the prince decided not to wear his proper uniform - an act of rebellion for Satomi being absent for a week from school.
The dog really was spoiled, now that he thought about it. Sighing in boredom, he cocked his brow at the feel of his phone going off. Wondering if his father decided to send him some work, knowing he needed the distraction, he turned on his phone. ‘Hi, this is Sango.’ His heart raced at the name and for once he actually felt excited reading a message.
Replying back, he looked over to see Jak and Bank currently lounging about on the sofa before him. Smiling, he looked down and pressed sent. ‘Hey.’
‘I have to tell you something, and I wish I could tell you face to face instead.’ His phone buzzed back a minute later.
‘What’s up?’ He replied back, his heart continued to pick up the pace, and his smile continued to widen more.
‘Well, I was wondering if you would like to go to the dance with me.’
Time froze still, and before he realized it he knew he had to come clean. If he knew Sango would ask him or actually wanted him to be with her, he wouldn’t have agreed to taking a friend of his instead. She didn’t mean much to him, but she was his partner in Archery class. Groaning, he finally replied back. ‘I would love to, but I am taking Hinamori to the dance. I wish I would have known before hand though.’
Feeling like a jerk, he looked down at his phone. Knowing he couldn’t just leave it like that, he replied with another message. ‘If you want though, I can take you out on Saturday. There is a Gazette concert this weekend, and would love it if you joined me.’
As he sent the second message, he waited in silence. He hated waiting, but he sat there looking anxiously at this phone. Finally, the familiar buzz of a message came through and he immediately opened it. ‘Oh, I am sorry about that. But to answer your question, yes I would love to.’
“Yes!” Naraku shouted out, gaining odd looks from all his friends. Looking back at them, he raised his brow and smirked. “What? I just received some awesome news. Jealous?”
“Of you? Nah.” Bank chuckled while kicking back into a more comfortable spot on the sofa with his feet kicked up on the coffee table. “Being this sexy and amazing, there is no reason for me to be jealous of anyone.”
Kicking off the human’s feet from the table, he glared at the blue eyed prick and scoffed. “You sound just like your brother.”
“Don’t lie, Naraku. I don’t sound that vain.” Jak scoffed. “Anyways, let’s go to class before Satomi decided to burn a hole in our asses too.”
Chuckling, the crew stood up and left the two alone in the room. Grabbing his cell phone, the spider looked at the message and finally replied back. ‘Awesome, see you then.’
Yes! Naraku and Sango will be a pair in this FFic! I think they will be great together. Please let me know what you guys think of them, and also what you guys think of this chapter!
Also, we will find out why Inuyasha was quick to answer Sango and Kagome and such.
