Ch. 22: Take a Chance

Kagome could feel nothing at first her mind was blank, she wasn’t aware at all what her emotions were. Then she felt it, blind rage.

She balled up her fist with the images of a half nude Sesshomaru making-out with a half nude Kagura, in his car, when he was supposed to have been with her. She felt tears sting her eyes as she picked up any rock that was lying around on the ground near her and threw it as hard as she could cracking his wind shield.

Kagura got startled hearing the cracking and jumped off of him and he stopped attacking her neck and came out of his trance. When he became aware of the situation, his eyes widened. He looked at his cracked windshield and then at the girl who caused the damage.

‘What the fuc…’

“You…you…you lied to me, how could you!” Kagome yelled as her tears started to flow.

Sesshomaru opened the door to his car and and was about to come out as he said, “What the hell are you talking about?”

“Don’t play dumb, you are such an asshole!” She yelled as she came up and slapped him before running off.

“What has gotten into her…” He looked to the side of him where Kagura was looking at him hungrily and then looked down at himself. “SHIT!”

He got out quickly and went after her but by the time he reached her, she had gotten in her car and drove off. He stood there, clueless as to how he ended up in that situation before he felt arms come around his waist.

“Come on Sesshy, leave the freshman bitch. She never was good for you.”

Sesshomaru threw Kagura off of him then growled, “I don’t know what the hell you did to me but get this one thing, I DON’T like you. I HATE you with every fiber of my being. I don’t hit women, but for you, I will make an exception if you ruin my relationship with Kagome. Don’t test me Kagura.”

He left Kagura alone in the parking lot. She looked as if she was scared but the moment he sped off, she put on a evil smile. She then took out a small object from her pocket silently thanking it for all that just happened. She remembered when Naraku first told her about it.

Kagura had to really question her brother’s sanity when he told her about ‘step two’ of his plan. I mean she had to really question it. She known him to come up with awkward ideas and ideas to make your skin crawl but this had to be the most outrageous thing that she’s ever heard.

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” She said dryly as she looked at the small object in his hand.

“Oh but I’m not, I’m very serious Kagura.” He said as he let go of her neck.

She reached out for it but he pulled his arm back. “So you’re telling me that this…thing is enough to control Sesshomaru.”

“That’s exactly what I’m saying.”

“But this is just a whistle.”

Naraku shook his head, she just don’t know how to trust him. “This whistle is no ordinary whistle. I remember hearing a little about it from Sara. You know she loves wind instruments and collect whistles of every kind. Well this particular whistle is a dog whistle.”

“And…” The words just couldn’t connect quite all the way.

“And what is Sesshomaru?”

“Oh…but he’s a dog demon. Regular dogs are too simple, it’ll never work on him.”

“Wrong, this little whistle only works on dog demons, males in particular. I’ve did research on it after she told me about it. It was made in the feudal era by female dog demonesses who were having a hard time finding a mate. All you have to do is be within close range, fifty meters or so, of him and keep using it whenever he’s around. Snap your fingers or just leave him alone for a cretin amount of time for him to come back to normal. It could take a while for it to take full effect, about some time over three weeks, but I believe you will like the results.”

Kagura took it, still unbelieving about this bit of information. “Where did you get it from?”

Naraku shrugged. “Some old woman was selling it on the internet. She didn’t know about it’s true purpose because she said that she tried it on her dog, it didn’t work so she sold it.” He then said as he left her, “Try it out as soon as possible if you wish.”

She couldn’t believe that that little silver dog shaped whistle had the power to control one of the strongest demons of all time. Naraku has finally lost it, there was no way, he couldn’t be fooled by such a thing. She even doubted if the story about the thing was true. Still, she had to find out.

On Monday, she waited for Sesshomaru to come to the building where his first class was. She stood on side of the building and when he showed up, she blew. There was no sound made and he didn’t stop…automatically, he did slow down and listened. She then saw him walk towards her. She thought that she was in trouble but she noticed the blank look he had in his eyes. She ended up walking him to the back of the building and once there, she waved her hand in front of his face. He was hypnotized.

“Holy shit, it actually works.” She said as she investigated further by poking his arm, but when she did that, he twitched slightly, his mind was starting to work again. She turned around and left before he could comprehend what just happened. She continued using it and by the end of the second week, she was able to gain full control of him.

She put the whistle back in her pocket. She was going to keep using it and if she did, then he would eventually forget about Kagome and fall for her. The more she used it, the longer the spell would hold on him.

Sesshomaru got back and was relieved to see Kagome’s car there. He knew she was very angry but he would try to explain…something. He went in, the smell of Kagome’s tears filled his nose. He went into her room to see her curled up in her bed still sobbing.

“Kagome I…” There was a sharpened pencil that flew past his head. “Kagome, please let me explain…” She threw her clock at him, it fell to the floor in pieces. She needed a new one anyway. “Kagome…” She threw  very heavy text book at him this time.

He sighed as he decided to use his demon speed to get to her and pin her down. “Listen to me Kagome.”

“NO!” She yelled as she fought against him.

“Kagome!” He growled. She froze in place. “Look, what you saw was…well it was…”

“It was you betraying me, I thought you loved me Sesshomaru.” She said as she started crying again.

“I do, it’s just…well I can’t explain it. Kagura, she did something to me. Hypnotized me or something.”

“Hypnotized? How, with her ass? That’s the stupidest excuse I’ve ever heard. We’re through.”

“No she did something to me, I don’t know what but don’t leave me. Give me one more chance, it won’t happen ever again, I promise.” He said as he nuzzled her neck and then looked at her to see if he could read any of her emotions.

Kagome looked him strait in the eye then sighed, “One and only one. Don’t screw up Sess.”

Sesshomaru went in for a kiss but she turned her head away from him. “No kisses, I’m fed up with you for not even coming into the museum.”

Sesshomaru smiled at her, well at least they aren’t broken up. Now, he had to figure out what was it that Kagura did to him before she tried again. He knew that his little threat won’t get to her especially if she had some kind of tool that can control him like this. He was determined to find out.

The next day…

When Yura was walking out the door to a class that she just finished, She spotted Sesshomaru leaning on the wall right next to the door looking all casual. She decided to play it cool and just walk past him and down the hall as if he wasn’t there.

She was almost past him when she heard him say, “What no ‘Hey Sesshy’ today?”

Yura stopped and turned back to him with a smile, “But you hate it when I call you that.”

“Oh I do but just because I do wouldn’t stop you from saying it.”

She walked back to lean on him as she said, “What do you want…Sesshy?”

“Nothing at all I can’t just stand here?”

“I suppose you could but I have something better in mind.” She rubbing a hand up his arm to rest on his shoulder while the other went around his waist.

Sesshomaru smirked, the bitch was just too predictable. Ayame who was leaving from her class came around the corner only to see Sesshomaru and Yura together. She wanted to walk over and see what’s going on but she just stood where she was and listened.

“I got better things to do then do anything with you.” He said walking off.

“No Sesshy, don’t leave, I’ll do anything.” Yura pleaded while holding onto his arm tightly.

Sesshomaru gave her a predatory grin. “Anything?”

She nodded and when she did so, he led her away. Ayame’s jaw dropped to the floor but she turned around and walked quickly the way she came.

Sesshomaru spent half the morning with Yura…never again. He kept asking questions wanting to know what Kagura was up to but she never answered his questions, ignoring them, and kept talking about herself while messing with his hair. There was only one other person that he could get information from, well make that two, Sara and the queen whore herself. There was no way he was going to go to Kagura.

He found Sara sitting alone eating a sandwich that she bought at the food court for lunch.

“I hope you don’t mind if I take this seat.” He said as he sat down with his own lunch of a burger.

Sara looked up briefly before continuing to eat with her head down. The only sounds that were made were all of the other people communicating in their own conversations. He wasn’t going to get anywhere if this continued.

“So…Sara, your sister, what is she up to?”

He looked at the girl across from him, she had her head down so that her eyes couldn’t be seen. He could feel a disturbance in the air and was about to get up when he felt her hands wrap around his arm.

“Why do you want to know about her, why not me? I’m pretty right? I mean you even dated me because of her!” She cried out crazily with a look to match as tears ran down her face messing up her mascara. Kagome was slightly emotionally unstable, Sara is emotionally unstable.

“No, I dated you to get away from her.” Sesshomaru said calmly to get her to calm down.

“No one will never love me as long as Kagura is around, everything’s about her, even my step dad and  brother likes her more than me.” She said as she started crying harder.

Sesshomaru wanted to leave but it wouldn’t seem right to leave the girl sobbing like that so he sat by her and put an arm around her and drew small, soothing circles in her back. Sango came in around this time after coming out of the line to see the two. She got a little closer to hearing distance and heard him say,

“If anything, I like you way more than her.”

Her eyes widened hearing that so she turned around determined on finding Kagome.

“Really you like me?” Sara said with new hope in her eyes.

He knew what that meant, “Yea but not in that way. I’m sure that there is someone out there for you but it’s not me so if you could be so kind as to let  go of my arm…”

Sara laughed a little as she wiped a few tears from her eyes, “Oh, sorry.”

She let him go and he took a few steps away before turning around and walking off quickly leaving her to wonder why it was that he wanted to know what Kagura was up to. She also had to wonder if this had to do with the cruel plan that she and Yura eavesdropped in on last semester. She still couldn’t believe how evil both her brother and sister could be which causes her to hate the two of them, especially Kagura for always taking the spotlight. She likes Sesshomaru too but not enough to do what she’s doing. She hopes that she gets what she deserves.

“I swear Kagome, he was flirting with Yura.” Ayame said when she sat with her friend inside of their room after they finished all of their classes of the day.

“And I heard him tell Sara that he likes her better than you.” Sango said after Ayame.

Both of Kagome’s friends have been told to keep a close eye on him, they were only doing their jobs but they came at the wrong time.

Kagome sat as she let what the two said swam in her head “No he couldn’t, I mean they’re the whore queen’s lackeys.”

“I know, it’s kinda strange for him to be flirting with the both of them, I mean he dated both of them and once he breaks up with a girl, that’s it. He never wants to deal with them again.”  Ayame said trying to get a better understanding on the situation.

Sango couldn’t really see another way around to whatever Sesshomaru was doing, “Well if that’s true then he wouldn’t have been sucking face off of Kagura.”

They all tried to think, something was off. Kagome would rather talk to him and as long as her friends were there to back her up then she should be able confront him on whatever is happening.

Sesshomaru walked in only to come in contact with the deadly silence and the three pairs of glares coming his way.

“I gave your underwear back, take something once and I’m never trusted again…”

Kagome cleared her throat trying to hide her embarrassed blush, neither of the others knew that he had taken her underwear. She was about to say something when Ayame and Sango jumped in and bombarded him.

“Are you on cheating on Kagome because you better not!”

“You’re a dirty asshole for even thinking about leaving her.”

“If you leave Kagome, I will make sure that she would be the last girlfriend you ever get because I’m going to castrate you!”

Sesshomaru didn’t like the sound of this, he had to put an end to it. “Girls, stop it already. I’m not going to leave Kagome. Why would you think that?”

“You were with Yura and Sara, why were you?” Kagome said being the only female calm enough. She could somehow tell that he really wasn’t doing anything wrong but she was still curious to what he was doing with them also.

Sesshomaru explained all he could to them. “I believe Kagura is up to something and I was trying to see what it was is all. The only way was to talk to those two since there’s no way in hell that I’m going to Kagura.”

He came up and hugged her, “I want to prevent whatever bad thing that might happen before it does.”

The two other girls softened up a bit and finally caved in as Ayame said, “Alright, if Kagome believes you then so do we but we will be keeping an eye on you. “

Sesshomaru looked at them and said, “I expect no less, you are your friends after all.”

Feeling as if everything is fine, Ayame and Sango left the two alone. They stood together  in silence until he broke it by saying, “Hey, lets do something tonight. We haven’t been on a date in a while.”

Kagome looked at him with a small smile as she said, “What do you have in mind.”

“A night at the club, we haven’t been there in a while.” Kagome nodded happily and hurried up to get ready.

Kagura followed behind as soon as she saw them come outside. She couldn’t find Sesshomaru all day so she just came over to where his room was and waited. She would usually follow them threw out the time after she was caught with him, waiting for the perfect opportunity to steal him away. She couldn’t do it really during the day anyway because Kagome was always around him during their free time. She was sure that Kagome would follow him when she led him away and find out about her little trick. The club will be a perfect place being that there were so many distractions.

They went to the club as soon as they were ready. Coming to the dance floor, Sesshomaru knew that she would want to dance so he wasted no time as he pulled her against him and started moving to the beat of the music.

They moved together as if they were one being, touching, rubbing, and grinding against each other as if they were making love with clothes on. They might as well have been but he knew that she was still angry with him. He smiled as he placed his head just over the juncture of her neck and shoulder, letting his breath fan over her. In response, her head rolled to the other side and a small breathless moan escape her lips. She may be angry but after tonight, she’ll forget all about the little mishap. The thought of what he planned to do to her that night only fueled his arousal to the point of where it would be noticeable.

Sesshomaru was going to show her just how much he wanted her at that moment by kissing her on her neck but he pulled away slightly. Kagome was about to turn around from feeling a loss of body heat only to feel warmth against her back side once more. She continued dancing.

When she felt warm breath on her once again, she groaned as she thought, ‘Damn, if he keeps this up, I’ll jump him right here and now.’

“Oh Sess, how’s about we get out of here.” She said slowing down her dancing.

“I would love to, only that, I’m not Sesshomaru.”

Hearing that made Kagome spin around quickly on her heels. Like the voice said, it wasn’t Sesshomaru. “N-Naraku? Where did you come from, where’s Sesshomaru?”

Okay, this was very creepy. Naraku just seems to pop up everywhere she was lately. Either it was a very strange coincidence or he’s been stalking her.

“I’ve been dancing with you for like the last three songs. I saw that you were alone and I didn’t want to disturb you while you were having fun so I just joined in.” He said.

Kagome stood there looking frantically around for Sesshomaru but finding him nowhere.

“I uh…I got to go.” She said as she backed away and left. She went outside his car wasn’t even there. How could he, as soon as she found him, he was going to be in trouble. But first she needed a ride home.

“Need a ride?” Naraku said as he stepped on side of her. Aw what the hell, things couldn’t get any worse right? Wrong.

Sesshomaru was back at the room, with Kagura, under his trance. He was already a bit heated before she found him, so she could easily get what she wanted and no freshman bitch was in the way this time. If she were to come back, Kagura would simply show her how to really please a man.

“Come on Sesshy.” Kagura said pulling him into his own room.

“Okay…Kagome.” He said lazily.

Kagura froze, did he just… “Excuse you, who did you just call me?”

“Oh Kagome, you look…sooo good right now. I want you.” He said as he put his arms around her and nuzzled her neck. “You smell…different Kagome.”

“That’s because I’m not that bitch…never mind, just come on!” She said pulling him into his room and closing the door behind her.

Kagome got to the room an hour after leaving the club, furious with Sesshomaru. Her hand froze over the door knob, she thought she heard a moan. She bit her lip as she opened the door. Along with the moaning she heard grunts, giggles, and growls. (heh heh…triple g’s…sorry for my corniness back to the story)

She walked over to his bedroom and the door was unlocked. She opened it and looked at the two people laying in bed together after having sex.

“It is so over.” Kagome ground out between her teeth. “Did you hear me Sesshomaru, It’s over!” She yelled earning her two heated stares. She turned around to leave, unable to stay around them.

Sesshomaru, who was slowly coming out of his trance, leaned over to Kagura’s ear as he said, “Hee hee, I think she has a stick up her ass.”

Kagome jerked her head back in Kagura and Sesshomaru’s direction and said, “I heard that and you can kiss it too because you’re never gonna see it again!” She bent over slightly and slapped it for emphasis.

Sesshomaru then turned his head to Kagura and said with a lazy smirk on his face, “Hey, I think I saw it, yup right in her ass.”

Kagome threw her arms up and yelled in frustration while Kagura snickered. She stopped snickering when Kagome was gone and turned to Sesshomaru with a wide grin. “So, what are you going to do now that Kagome’s gone and out of your life for good. I bet you feel pretty proud about getting rid of her because now you can be with me.”

Sesshomaru laid there with the smirk still on his face. By now, the trance had warn off and it took him five minutes to realize what just happened. He was never going to be with Kagome again, except for in their room but that still doesn’t mean that she would talk to him.

His eyes widened as his smirk faded, he was back. He sat up fully and clutched the sides of his head. “Holy shit. WHAT have I DONE!” he cried out hysterically.

He then snapped his head to Kagura and sent her the most deadliest glares that he could muster, “YOU…” he hissed out.

“What, I don’t see anything wrong, this is how it should have been in the first place.” Kagura said not aware of how much trouble…no, how much danger she was in, or at least not caring. Sesshomaru could feel the red seethe into his eyes and his claws lengthen. Oh, hitting her would be such a unfair punishment, it just wouldn’t do. Killing her however…Oh he would make her pay for ruining his relationship with Kagome…

“Kagome!” He said as he leapt up from bed grabbing his boxers, the bitch could wait, he had to get to Kagome.

He came to the door, knocking at it but there was no answer. He was about to open it when it busted open. There was an angry, tearful Kagome pushing past him with her book sack with things she needed for school and a small suit case with clothes.

“Kagome no wait, let me explain.”

“Explain what Sesshomaru, there is nothing to explain.” She said coldly as she kept walking.

He reached out to grab her. She was about to slap him but he anticipated it and caught that hand. With no other option she did the only thing she could do to get free. She kicked him in the groin. As he doubled over, she took the liberty to walk away. He could do nothing but watch her.

Kagura came out of his room with a bed sheet wrapped around her to see Kagome kick him and then walk off. “She’s such a bitch, I don’t know what you see in her.”

Sesshomaru used the wall to support him and he gent a very cold glare at her as he hissed, “Kagura, you may want to use this time to get a head start because as soon as I’m over my pain, I’m going to make you feel just as hurt as I am. You tested me Kagura, I don‘t care what kind of trick you used on me, I will get you for this.”

She looked at him, is he serious? She was about to touch him but he snapped at her, so he is. But that’s okay because she has the whistle. As soon as he straitened himself up he was ready to have blood on his claws. He saw Kagura still there, slowly putting her clothes back on.

“You just lost your head start.” He said as he cracked his knuckles.

She smirked as she pulled out the whistle and blew, it was the last thing he could comprehend before his mind went blank again. Kagura came up to him and said, “Thanks for the great time Sesshy, we should do it again sometime and as long as I have this, I believe we shall.”

She gave him a kiss and left him standing there blank.

When he did snap to, it was just about an hour. He looked around trying to remember anything and everything. He remember Kagome, her packing up, and the painful kick. Sadness flooded in his mind before fury took it’s place when he remembered Kagura, her tricking him once again, and her causing the break-up.

“Damn it, she broke-up with me, no one’s ever broken-up with me!”

He let out a very angry roar and out of frustration started throwing things around his room, trashing it completely by turning over his bed, breaking the window, destroying the desk when he threw the chair at it. By morning, his room wasn’t a room anymore, it was worst than Inuyasha’s room. The strong, proud demon, wasn’t a strong, proud demon anymore, he was a wreck.
