Love can Kill by Go Drink Pinesol

another day of school

Sesshomaru rolled to his side to try, and fall back asleep. It was no use. His half-brother, Inuyasha, snores up a storm. He sighed as he gave up on his attempt at more sleep before school starts.

*evil grin*

He had an idea how to get back at his half-breed brother. He quickly and quietly slipped into Inuyasha's room in less then two seconds with his youkai speed. His mouth was centimeters from his brother's dog-like ears. He whispered, "Inuyasha, Kikyou's calling you to the janitor's closet." Sesshomaru had seen them slip in there once to have sex.

"Coming Kikyou," was all he said in reply.

Disgusting. He put his clawed fingers into his own ears and shouted at top notch volume, "INUYASHA!!!!!!" Inuyasha shot up instantly, and winced at how loud he screamed it. Sesshomaru whispered in a deadly voice, "Time for school."

*~*~*~*~*~*

Inuyasha was pissed as he saw his brother leave, "Come back here you bastard!" He was angry, because he was dreaming of his ex-girlfriend, Kagome Higurashi. He had loved her, but he had to break her heart when he found that most of his love was lust. He had fixed it after awhile. He was going to try, and win her heart again, but he never got the chance. They had dated when they were in eighth grade. When they went to the high school Inuyasha was placed in average freshman classes, but Kagome? No, she was place into sophomore merit classes. She was extremely smart. He hadn't seen her since the day they broke up. As he thought about it he realized that he had never, ever heard anything about her at school. He was a junior now and a few months ago he had dared to ask a senior if they anything about her. In response he said that she was extremely distant with everyone. She would only speak if it was necessary, except that she talked frequently to two or three people. He pondered this a few more minutes then got up, and put his black silk boxers and a white t-shirt. "Another day of school." He sighed with disappointment as he left his room to get some food.

*~*~*~*~*~*

Sesshomaru stepped into the kitchen, and ordered a servant for a cup of coffee and an omelet. He sat there deep in thought until his father and his hanyou brother walked in. He gave both of them icy glares, until he noticed the servant come back with his omelet and coffee. "Here you are milord Sesshomaru." then the servant went to cook the food that his father and brother ordered.

His father turned to him, "Sesshomaru I need to speak with you before you leave for school. Also Inuyasha if you listen to our conversation you will be punished."

Inuyasha just smirked, "Must be something that would be embarrassing for Sess to make you say that father." His father glared at him, "Ok! Ok!"

The great inu youkai spoke once more, "Meet me in my office before you leave understand?"

He nodded his head at his father, and returned to eating his breakfast as his father left the room. Sesshomaru could tell that Inuyasha was staring at him with interest, even though he himself was staring at the floor. Inuyasha's mouth opened about to torment him he stopped him, "Say one word and your tongue will be in a jar on display." He took the hint, and shut his mouth before he regretted it. Sesshomaru got up, and walked to his room to get dressed. He dressed himself in a pair of baggy black jeans that had many chains attached to it. His shirt was baggy too, but it was blood red, and in the front it said 'one word and youre dead', written in a gothic style. He heard his brother yell at him to hurry up so they could leave. He said nothing as he pulled on his black Chuck Taylor's. After he grabbed his back pack he walked to his father's office, but before he knocked his told him to come in.

"Well I asked you to come in here to talk to you seriously. You know that your eighteenth birthday is coming up in a month. By youkai law you need to have your mate-to-be. You understand?"

"Yes, father." he replied.

"And have you thought about any woman you would want to ask?"

"No."

"I see.Well I expect you to make your decision before your birthday."

"Yes father."

The lord of the western lands eyed his son carefully before he said, "You may leave now." Sesshomaru got up, and walked out of the room. After he shut the door his father sighed, "What am I going to do with you Sesshomaru?"

*~*~*~*~*~*

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha drove to school in the same car; it was Sesshomaru's black corvette. They drove there in silence, Inuyasha knew better than to ask his brother about the conversation. As soon as they were at school Sesshomaru got out of the car, and slammed the door shut. Inuyasha saw that he walked up to a group of three people. They saw him and, turned to walk in together. Wow. Sesshomaru actually had friends? That was so surprising to him. Inuyasha saw his group of friends. There were five people waiting for him. They were Sango, Miroku, Rin, Shippo, and Kikyou. He himself wore a pair of kaki shorts, sandals, and a yellow Abercrombie and Fitch shirt. Miroku and Shippo had the same but different colors. Sango and Rin wore tight blue jeans, and aeropastle shirts. Kikyou? She wore a very VERY short purple mini-skirt, high heels, and a tight white tank top (SLUT!!!!!!). He walked up to Kikyou and pulled on her waist so it crashed into his, "Hey babe." Then they started making out in front of their friends. Miroku spoke up, "Aw! Come on that is even to gross for me to watch. Let's get to class." "Hey guess what I saw earlier." Inuyasha stated. "What?! What did you see?" Sango burst out. Inuyasha answered, "I saw that Sesshomaru actually has friends. I saw him walk up to them." Kikyou was surprised, "Wow. Really? I never expected that to happen!" After that they all walked into the school as the bell rang. Oh well. At least some of my teachers let my sleep in class.

*~*~*~*~*~*

At the beginning of the year Sesshomaru was surprised that his friends were in his classes. All four of them were in merit classes. He, Kouga, Ayame, and Kagome were all friends. They had been since Kagome joined their grade. Before it was just him, Kouga, and Ayame. He felt uncomfortable before Kagome came. He felt somehow left out. He remembered the first time he saw her.

----___flashback___----

Sesshomaru is sitting in his pre-calculus class when the door opens. He sees the principal, Ms. Keade, walk in the room. He though 'Oh no! What did Kouga do now? Already on the first day of school' The teacher interrupted his thoughts and he saw a girl walk in, "Class? This is Kagome Higurashi. She will be joining your grade, and is skipping freshman year." Wow. You had to be extremely smart to skip a high school year. "Have a seat next to Sesshomaru.*points out Sesshomaru* When she sat down he noticed that she was in depression. Even though she wore baggy clothes he could tell she had the best curves he had ever seen. That was a huge step up since she was a human. It was an odd thing to she a girl dressed up gothic in his school. Every other girl except her and Ayame would wear clothes that were super small, tight and sluty. Her scent it was intoxicating him; it was roses and jasmine. This girl interested him; he wanted to know more about her. It had turned out that she had all his classes; he was glad.

@#@later that night@#@

Sesshomaru had gone to a teen club with Kouga and Ayame. They were dancing while he walked off. Then in a middle of a crowd he smelled her, it was Kagome. Then he smelled sweat, blood, and panic. It turns out that she ran into his chest. She was scared out of her mind. He could read it all over her face. She turned around, and saw the man that was chasing her. She started to run again, but he caught her arm, and made her stop. He didn't know why he was helping her. She got scared, and hid behind his back.

The man smirked, and walked up to Sesshomaru, "Hand over my whore, demon."

This flamed him, no one told this Sesshomaru what to do. "It would amuse me to see you try and make me," he saw in the corner of his eye that Kagome calmed down a bit.

"You have no idea who you're dealing with you arrogant bastard!" the man screamed at him. He tried to charge towards Kagome. She screamed, "Get away from me Hojo!!!!"

Sesshomaru took out his poison whip, and sliced the man named Hojo in two pieces. Kagome was dumbfounded at what Sesshomaru just did for her. Sesshomaru expected her to scream at him for killing the bastard of a human, but what she did confused him. She ran, and placed him into a tight embrace. Two words came from her mouth; she whispered, "Thank you."

----___end flashback___----

Sesshomaru and Kagome had been best friends since that day. After awhile he got some information about what had happened to her. When she was thirteen years old her father had made a deal with a drug company. The deal was that her father would get 200 pounds of cocaine if the leader's youngest son could rape her. Her mother had died trying to stop the madness in her husband. The deal was successful in the end after she tried to fight Hojo. It turned out that he had liked her deal out of all the 'other' deals, and had fallen in love with her. He stalked her until he took action the day she first met Sesshomaru. As soon as she finished he was disgusted how her father treated her. He drove her immediately to the police station to report her father. A couple days later the government had set up an apartment for her and her brother, Souta, to live in away from her father. Her father was sentenced to life in prison with no parol. The government also gave her a car so she could find a job. She now works four days a week at a gothic coffee and gift shop. Her friends usually hung around there when she worked to keep her company, especially Sesshomaru.

It was now lunch time, and Sesshomaru could see his stupid half-brother making out with his whore. Kagome said, "Why are you staring at them it's so disgusting. *shudder*"

"Same thing I was thinking. So did you here? We start theatre/choir today." Kagome got a sick look on her face as she stared off into nothingness. He knew what she was thinking. Ever since she was fourteen, after the raping, Kagome never talked anymore not until she met Sesshomaru. She speaks every so often to Kouga and Ayame, but she never hesitated to talk to Sesshomaru. She trusts him with no doubt. "Kagome? You know that we are going to be with the juniors."

"Shit! I don't like to share the same atmosphere with Inuyasha."

"Well. What do you have against my half-breed brother?"

"I'll tell you later."

"When?"

"at practice to night."

"alright deal."

*~*~*~*~*~*

From where Inuyasha sat making out with Kikyou, he could see Sesshomaru talk to a girl. He didn't recognize her. Even with his hanyou ears he couldn't hear what they were saying because it was so loud in the cafeteria. He knew the other two who sat with him; they were Kouga and Ayame. He never liked Kouga because he had tried to steal Kagome from him when they were dating. He was surprised he wasn't chasing her around somewhere. He wanted to know more about her. She looked like she was freaking out or something, and his brother was trying to comfort her. 'Wait! What?' He has never seen any signs that his brother cared about any one, but this changes everything. It looks like this girl has melted the steel bars around Sesshomaru's heart.

Miroku spoke up, and that stopped him from more kissing, "You know Inuyasha I have been wondering too. Who is that girl? I always see her around Sesshomaru. She looks somehow familiar." He snorted. This girl was unique. Only two girls in the whole school we different. Ayame was the other one, she was almost the same as the other girls in the school. She was different because she wore not so tight clothes. That there, she was the strangest girl ever. She was one of the gothic people. There weren't many in the school. She was the only girl goth. She was dressed with black red-lined Chuck Taylor's, very baggy black pants that had dark fishnet material on the pockets. She had dark green fishnet arm warmers, and a dark green shirt that said 'people like you make people like me sick'. Inuyasha couldn't see her face because her black, messy, waist-length hair covered it. "Oh well. We'll find out won't we?"

"Huh?"

"Well she is a senior. We start that theatre choir thingy with the senior today. Can't wait to get close enough to see how familiar she is. I know I've rubbed that one somewhere before." At that Sango had hit Miroku over the head.

"You are such a lech."

"I could be more only for you Sango my dearest." She blushed to kingdom come. "Oh Sango you know it is only you that I truly want." She felt his hand grope her ass.

"HENTAI!" She hit him hard enough to knock him out. Everyone in the room stared at her. *sweat drop*

*~*~*~*~*~*

Later in the school day Sesshomaru and his friends walked into the auditorium for class. He saw his brother sitting with his friends in the back to he decided to guide his friends closer to the front. When they were right next to them, Inuyasha spoke, "Wow, Sesshomaru you actually have friends. Did you have to pay them or is there some other benefit to them."

Inuyasha expected his brother to be pissed, but he seemed unaffected. On the other hand, the unknown girl was pissed. She whirled around, and stared at Inuyasha with hatred. He knew that she was pissed; he knew because from beneath her hair he could see that her eyes were glowing bright neon blue. She opened her mouth as if to curse him literally, but before she could Sesshomaru placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Calm down." Was Sesshomaru helping Inuyasha? "This half-breed isn't worth the effort." She nodded, and turned to leave, but Kikyou stood, and grabbed her arm quickly.

"I'm not finished with you I want to talk to you." Kikyou had just made a big mistake.

Kagome threw Kikyou off her arm, so hard that she fell to the grand. She turned, and walked away just before she turned to the row she wanted to sit in Inuyasha heard her whisper to him, "She's cheating on you." She walked down the row, and sat in a seat. Kouga and Ayame followed, and sat down next to her.

Sesshomaru had stayed behind to talk to Inuyasha, "Inuyasha, you do know that I just saved your ass a lot of pain. If any of you piss her off again like that I won't be the one to save your sorry asses." He walked to his friends, and sat next to Kagome.

Rin asked, "Ok. What just happened here?"

Inuyasha answered, "I have no idea." He then smacked himself in the face. Myouga floated down into his hand. "Stop biting my face!"

"Ah but you see the face is the most tender spot of the body."

"Myouga, who is that girl next to Sesshomaru?"

"Well, my Lord Inuyasha, it seems you have crossed paths with Lady Kagome yet again."

"WHAT! That was Kagome?"

"Yes my Lord."

Sango jumped into the conversation, "What was with her glowing eyes? I used to hang around with her, and they never did that before."

"Ah. You see that is because her miko powers only surfaced almost 3 years ago. It so happens now that she is the most powerful miko there is."

Kikyou grew angry, "I bet I could give her a run for her money."

Myouga being so little stomped on her, "No. You couldn't."

Inuyasha wanted some answers now, "Myouga why was Kagome mad when Kikyou touched her."

"Very bad idea to touch her. It is because whenever a person touches her nowadays she sees visions of them. Could be past, present, or future it depends. Why do you ask?"

"Oh nothing." He turned to Kikyou. "Kikyou we are finished. Go back to whoever it is you were two-timing me for."

"How did you...." She ran out of the auditorium crying.

Shippo yelled, "Finally you dumped her. Been waiting for like forever!"

"Shippo be quiet before you lose something that you want to keep." He was quiet for the rest of the time afraid of what Inuyasha might do to him.

"My Lord how did you discover if this was true?"

"Kagome told me after Kikyou touched her." 'I know that she hates me but I guess she felt sorry for me.'

"Well if you were here you would not want any one near you."

"What does that mean?" He raised an eyebrow; everyone was wide eyed, and staring at Myouga.

"Oopps. I wasn't supposed to say that out loud."

"Explain yourself Myouga, now!"

"All I can say is that since Lady Kagome was thirteen her life was slowly going down hill," Since she was thirteen? Uh oh. He dated her when she was fourteen. "and until she met Lord Sesshomaru three years ago she was sinking towards hell at a fast pace. You need to ask him about her past. If he does not tell you then I will, but I can not say anything further than that for now. I hope Lord Inutaisho does not discover her or I might find myself killed by Sesshomaru."

So Sesshomaru wanted to keep her past a secret. Wait a minute! Before she met him! Oh no! "Are they dating Myouga?"

"No they are not. They are the best of friends though. They know each other like the back of their own hand. They share some sort of bond."

"Class! Class! Settle down!"

"Got to go!" Myouga said as he hopped as far as he could from Inuyasha.

*~*~*~*~*~*

Sesshomaru watched the teacher as she told them they were going to have a singing tournament. Each of them would have to sing a song for a try out. Kagome didn't look alarmed because she already did it earlier. The fact was that she always stayed quiet; She had agreed with the principal to sing in private, and if she got a high ranking she would try it. She would be forced to sing for the school grades. The teachers thought it's about time for her to start talking. Sesshomaru had waited for her earlier when she sang in the theatre's office. She had done better than usual. Sesshomaru and his friends were in a band together. It was his idea to break her out of her protective shell. Kouga played the drums, Ayame played bass guitar and keyboard, Sesshomaru was the lead guitarist, And Kagome was lead vocalist and back up guitarist.

"Has anyone had any experience in singing?" A few people raised their hands. Sesshomaru and Kagome raised their hands. "Does any one have a band?" Everyone but Kouga, Ayame, Sesshomaru, and Kagome dropped their hands. The teacher was surprised to see Kagome's hand in the air. "Singing in the band?" They all dropped their hands, but Sesshomaru forced Kagome's hand back up. "I see."

Inuyasha spoke up, "They don't have a band, but if they did it would suck." Kagome wasn't mad at that; she wanted an excuse not to sing. Sesshomaru was mad though.

"And you know that how little hanyou?" He stood up and glared at his brother.

"If you're in it I know it sucks."

"If you believe that then let's just see if it's true. It just so happens that we have a place this Friday. Think you're up to coming?"

"You bet I am."

Suddenly Kagome stomped on Sesshomaru's foot. She was pissed, but not at Inuyasha. She was pissed at Sesshomaru for telling Inuyasha about their band. Inuyasha was surprised. If that had been him stomping on his brother's foot he'd be dead right now. But his brother didn't do anything to her; he just sat back down next to her. He heard what they were saying.

"What the fuck did you think you were doing?"

"Proving my brother that he is wrong."

"How do you know if he's right?"

"Because I know you don't suck."

The bell rang after that, and everyone went to their lockers so they could go home. Inuyasha followed Sesshomaru and Kagome to their lockers. They started talking while packing their bags with homework. "I have to go to work in half an hour."

"You didn't tell me you were working today."

"I'll be off at 7:30 the latest."

"Well I'll come around later, and if it's packed I'll leave."

"I guess that's better than last time. You wouldn't leave for nothing."

"You wanted to work with no one you knew around? Especially with Naraku there?"

"True. That guy has it coming to him."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know why, but he hates Inuyasha." Naraku hates me? What did I do? "He's plotting something against him. I saw it when he touched me at work. I could have had a lifetime of happiness if Kikyou didn't touch me."

"Why?"

"Would you want to see a vision of Kikyou and Naraku fucking?" She saw the look on his face. "No. I didn't think so. See you later. I've got to pick up Souta and his friend, and take them to his house."

"Alright. See you later. Oh Inuyasha. Why don't you go to the car, and wait there."

"Shit." That was what Inuyasha and Kagome said at the same time.
