Forgetting the past

"Mom school's tomorrow and I'm going to be late coming home." Kagome said as she stared at her food.

"Oh of course honey that would be alright just keep your phone with you." Her mother responded.

"And no boys." His father demanded with a stern look on his face.

With a smile she sighed. "Of course dad no problem but I'll be inviting a boy over tomorrow night." Her father dropped his fork and looked at her.

"And why is that?"

"Because were friends and for the first day of school were going to watch a movie. Plus Ren's also going to be here so you wouldn't need to worry. You can come down stairs any time to watch over us. Come on dad I told you this 3 days ago and mom was okay with it." Her father folded his hands under his chin. She hated when he was in that potion because it always did decide everything. Whether it would be a yes or a no he would always go to that position and think things through.

" Fine but I'll be coming to check on you every 5 minutes that the boy is here and no kissing." Kagome almost fell off her chair but she quickly recovered with a smile.

"Dad I told you that we were just friends." Izayoi got out of her seat and hugged her daughter.

"You can tell me honey, it'll be a secret between you and me. Is this boy your boyfriend?" Her mother winked at her daughter and Kagome didn't understand how it could be such a secret when her father can hear everything they say.

Kagome winced as her mother hugged her once again. She shifted to avert the pain and as she did her mother quickly pulled away.

"Honey I'm so sorry. Are you alright?" Her mother asked as she examined Kagome's shoulder. She nudged her hand away and smiled.

"It's okay mom. It hurts a bit but it's healing so don't worry."

It's been a month since the murders at Kishigawa beach. The bullet holes on her right shoulder healed nicely but it still bruised around the two injuries. Every time the pain came the more she thought about the murders. Everything in the past would sweep up in her mind and it was hard for her to avert those thoughts.

"Dear are you alright?" She shook the thought away and looked at her mother.

"Yea I'm alright mom no problem." She smiled.

"When you have that look on your face Kagome your thinking about your brother aren't you?" The table went quiet and the atmosphere around them grew thick. Kagome hated having her mother and father talk about it. She hated the look on there faces as they thought about their only son.

"I'm sorry mom I-"

"You don't have to be sorry Kagome. Your brother loves you and he's watching over all of us." Her mother's reassuring words comforted Kagome a bit but it was hard to believe that his death wasn't her fault. She thought she could forget about the past but all she did was think about it. The more she tried to push it away the more it came back.

"Hiten killed him and I'm related to him. Every time you look at me I hate to think that seeing me always brings up Bankotsu's murder." She slouched her head forward as her hair hid her face. Tears ran down her cheek as she sat there.

"Honey your father and I don't blame you for anything." Kagome felt her mothers arms wrapped around her. As her mother hugged her, Kagome gripped her necklace. The pendant that hung around her neck was the only thing left of her brother and it reassured her that his death wasn't for nothing. He saved her so she could live her life to the fullest. Although how can she live to the fullest with out her brother by her side.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome woke up by a shrieking alarm clock. As she cursed under her breath her hand searched for the annoying clock. Pressing the button she sat up and streaked her fingers through her hair. Looking out the window that was positioned beside her she looked at the sidewalk.

She smiled as Sesshomaru looked up at her. Waving at him she bolted out of her bed and ran down stairs. She stumbled as she turned the corner to enter the kitchen. As she got to the front door she sighed and opened the door with a smile.

"Good morning Kago-" Before he could finish his greeting she wrapped her arms around his neck. Kagome felt a chill run down her spine and she looked back at a scowl. She let go of Sesshomaru and smiled at her father.

"Hey dad. Good morning?" Her father stared at the boy at the front door and with a sigh of relief her mother cut in before her father could say anything.

"You must be my daughter's friend. Come in." Izayoi pulled the boy into the kitchen, leaving Kagome and her father at the front door.

"Who is that boy?" Kisame inquired.

"His name's Sesshomaru and he's the friend that's going to come over tonight." She said with a smile.

"Well that hug didn't look like you were friends."

"Were friends dad don't worry about it. You better be going dad, don't you have a meeting today?" She pointed out as she moved aside for her father to exit.

"Yes I do but I'll be home tonight for that movie night of yours so don't you get your hopes up that I will not be here to watch over you."

"Of course father, now go before you blame me for being late." She pushed her father out the door and waved goodbye before closing it.

Kagome sighed and head toward the kitchen. Her mother placed a plate of waffles in front of Sesshomaru and Kagome raised an eyebrow.

"Mom I think Sesshomaru already ate."

"He lives alone. You know men don't eat healthy when they live alone."

"How did you know he lived by himself?"

"Sesshomaru told me. I have to learn everything about him if he's going to be dating my daughter." Kagome dropped her jaw as her mother finished. She shuffled her feet beside Sesshomaru and sighed.

"No mom. We are not going out alright? Now stop telling my mother stuff while I'm upstairs changing." She glared at him as he smirked. "I'm serious." She whispered as she headed up stairs to change.

The first day of school and Kagome was now a Sophomore and Sesshomaru a Junior. She dreaded getting up so early now that she got use to sleeping in. As she got on her uniform and brushed her hair she quickly went down stairs.

" That's how long we've been dating." Kagome glared at Sesshomaru and pulled him out of his seat.

"What the hell did you tell her?" She whispered as she looked at her mother.

"Nothing." He simple said as they head toward the front door.

"Okay mom we're leaving." she pulled Sesshomaru to the front door. As she got to the door she stopped as an image of her brother popped into her mind.

I'll see you at school Sis. I love you, you brat

She placed a hand on the pendant around her neck as she opened the door. Walking toward the sidewalk Sesshomaru put a hand on her shoulder.

"I'm here for you." Kagome smiled as they head toward school.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kagome!" She turned around as her name echoed through the hallway. Ren came running down toward her as she pushed and shoved her way through the stream of students.

"Hey Ren." She replied when she finally got in front of them.

"So are we still up for the celebration of getting through the first day of school." They walked through the halls. With there schedules in hand the three of them switched. Looking through the schedules they all had the same classes for only P.E. while Ren and Kagome had English, seeing that Sesshomaru was a Junior they were lucky to have at least one class together. The English teacher, Miroku Ibiki was a relief to have because he was a laid back teacher and the P.E. teacher Kanna Hashibana was kind of a quiet person although she does raise her voice when she needs to.

Looking through the schedule once again Ren and Kagome had Math and Chemistry together while Sesshomaru and Kagome had only Art. The only class that Kagome didn't have with her friends was French and History.

"Yeah were still on for the movie night." Kagome finally replied.

"So Kagome and I have homeroom together. So what's the teachers name again?" Ren inquired.

"Mrs. Ochiro, her first name's Yura and from what I heard she's a laid back teacher also. Were not going to do much but introduce ourselves so it's like a free day today." Kagome raised her arms as she stretched. She quickly put her right arm down as pain struck. She hated that her arm held such pain but in a few days or so the bruises will heal up.

"So this is the class." Ren peered in the classroom as she looked back at Kagome. She looked in as well and there was only a boy in the back sitting patiently for class to start. Kagome stepped in the quiet classroom as the others followed.

"You better go to your class Sesshomaru. We have about 5 minutes till the bell rings so you better get going." Sesshomaru immediately wrapped his arms around Kagome's waist and smiled.

"Not without a goodbye kiss." As he arched his back forward to kiss her he was welcomed by a hand. Pushing his face away from hers she sighed.

"We're not kissing." Kagome stared up at him. He didn't let her go and she didn't know if he would ever let her go.

"Why not?"

"Because we didn't go on a date."

"Well I would want to go on a date if you only said yes."

"Well from the reaction of my father this morning I wouldn't think he'll let me."

"But you said you loved me."

"I did say that but I don't want to kiss you when we didn't go out yet." Kagome pushed him away and smiled.

"Than lets go on a date tomorrow." He insisted.

"No. If you convince my father that I can date than fine but other than that the answer will always be no." She crossed her arms and smirked. She knew her father would never let her date and there is no way he could convince him.

"Alright fine. I'll be heading off to class." Holding her hand in his Sesshomaru raised her hand to his lips. Kissing her fingertips he soon departed his lips from her hand and left the classroom. Ren smirked at her and nudged her friend's arm.

"What?" Kagome questioned.

"Well why don't just go on a date with him already. Everyone knows he's the hottest catch a girl can get although you're being way to stubborn." They took a seat in the front row as they stayed on the same subject.

"Everyone says I'm stubborn but I just want to know if he's the right guy. I don't want him because he's good looking."

"Well he's also nice and charming towards you. Take the Sesshomaru fan girls. They want Sesshomaru and they always try to wrap their arms around that man but he just glares at them and nudges them away."

"So what are you saying?"

"I'm saying he's rude and mean to everyone else but he's charming and nice to you and me since I'm your friend because he totally loves you, duh." Ren rest her head on the palm of her hand as she stared at her friend.

"Well I'm just making sure that he's the right one for me and I'm taking things slow. If he doesn't like it than he can just step his way out of my life. I don't need a guy like-" An embrace around her neck stopped her from finishing.

"Than you can go out with me." A guy said as he rest his head on her shoulder. "I'll take care of you." He whispered. Kagome felt chills run down her spine down to her toes as his breath brushed against her ear. Kagome stood up like rapid fire and turned to the boy.

"Who the hell are you?" She blushed as she took a step back. The boy was cute and she couldn't help but stare at his smile.

"I want to be your boyfriend. If you let me." Ren stared at the predicament that Kagome was in and laughed. Kagome just glared at her and averted her eyes back at the guy.

"I don't know who the hell you are and you want to be my boyfriend. What makes you even think I'll say yes."

"Because you didn't say no."

"Well I'm saying no right now." She shoved the guy aside and took a seat once again. "So if you don't mind. Leave me and my friend alo-" She stopped as the brunette placed his hand under her chin as she was forced to face him.

"Well you're like the others say. You're quite feisty when it comes to others you don't know."

"You're right. I don't know you so get out of my sight." She jerked her head away from his hand and looked at her giggling friend beside her.

"So you don't have anything to say to this Ren. You're just going to laugh." Kagome glared daggers at her friend who continued to suppress her laughter.

"What will Sesshomaru say when he sees this?" She laughed once again as she wiped a tear from her eyes. "He'll go ballistic."

"Well I wouldn't mind fighting a guy to have you around my arm." She turned at the smirking boy.

"Well I wouldn't think I'll be even holding your hand or in the matter of fact lay a hand on you." As the bell rang Kagome felt her shoulder sank in relief. "So you better take a seat." She averted her eyes away from the boy who stood next to her.

she jumped a mile high as she felt his lips brush against her cheek. She got out of her seat and stumbled backwards before she hit a desk.

"If you touch me again I'll-" She couldn't think of exactly what she would do to him. Although a couple of things crossed her mind as he grinned at her actions. He turned around and went in the back to take a seat. Kagome did the same and looked at the black board in front of the class.

"So Sesshomaru's going to have some competition." Ren spat out as the bell rang and students started to fill the empty seats.

"And what does that suppose to mean?"

"Oh you'll see. You may be stubborn but I found out now that you're also way dense." Ren giggled. Kagome just arched an eyebrow and sighed.

"Whatever." As the second bell ran every student filled the seats and Mrs. Ochiro entered as she set a briefcase beside her desk.

"Alright class I'm Yura Ochiro but I refer you call me Yura rather than the oh so popular term Mrs. Ochiro. I'm not that old so I don't want to be referred as such a term now lets begin. I'm your Homeroom teacher and you know we don't do squat in homeroom but talk about life and how drugs are bad for you and yata, yata, yata." Kagome looked at the teacher with confusion. It seemed like she didn't care about anything, she was like a student. She wanted to get through everything as quickly as she could.

"So like you know were supposed to introduce ourselves but I don't have the patience for that or in the matter of fact don't really care seeing I'll be stuck with you folks for a year. So I'll call off names and you know what to do from there." Everyone gave Yura a confused look but as minutes past they got use to her attitude. Kagome waited for the teacher to go down the list of names until he got to the annoying and mysterious boy's name.

"Kira Mikeshita! Mr. Mikeshita if you don't raise your hand I'll mark you absent." Kagome looked at the hand in the back and sighed.

Kira, so that's his name. She soon averted her eyes back to the front as Yura continued to read off names. When that agenda of the day was done she sat on her desk and darted her eyes back and fourth at the class.

"So this is homeroom and we don't do anything but sit here so I'm going to change things up." Everyone raised an eyebrow as she continued. "I want you all to learn something about one another and this project will last for a week. In this so-called project I'll be paring you off as a boy, girl, boy girl type of thing. So you won't get to pick your friends because I'll pick your pairings for you."

"What's this has to do with homeroom?" Someone said as the teacher finished.

"Well it'll be some what of a game for me I guess. As you know I'm not like other teachers so this projects going to just show me how you act with one another so why don't everyone get your asses up and make a circle around the class." As she finished everyone did what they were told still confused about the whole project.

"Alright I'll go ahead and pick your pairings before I finish explaining the project." She went around the classroom student after student. As partners were being chosen Kagome couldn't help but glare at Kira who just smiled at her. She prayed that another girl would have him as a partner but as the group of people began to shrink her hopes shrank with every person being paired off. Ren got partnered with Hojo and seeing that Ren hated Hojo she knew this whole project would come to a disaster.

Yura stopped in front of Kagome as she looked at the remaining boys that were left. "So whom should I pair you off with? You're quite beautiful any boy would want to be paired with you but who to choose." She soon smirked at Kagome and put a hand on her shoulder. "How about the boy you've been glaring at from the beginning. Kira Mikeshita and Kagome Higurashi will be partners." She announced. Kagome's jaw just dropped at her choice.

"What do you mean? Why him?"

"Because I have my reasons. It was your fault anyway, you were begging me to partner you up with him." She continued to pair off the remaining students and everyone then was ordered to sit by their partner.

" So now you all have noticed you've been partnered with the people you wouldn't be expecting to work with. Some of you know each other from middle school and some are new but you all share a connection."

A connection, yeah right. Kagome thought as she glared at her partner.

"So this connection would be that you share hate against the other or one person shares hatred against the other. Once I came into this room I saw so much damn scowls that I made up my mind. I did this kind of thing at the previous school I worked in. Now you'll be spending your time with each other for a week and since Homeroom meets every Monday your posters and reports will be due next week." Yura handed out the rubrics as the whole class complained.

"Damn it. Shit, fuck, bitch-" She whispered every curse word under her breath as she stared at the smirking bastard. No wonder she said I was begging to choose him. Damn it.

Kagome stared at the rubric and curled her hands into a fist as she slammed her hands on the desk.

"A day!" She shouted as everyone stared at her. "What is the meaning of this? I have to spend a night at his house!" She stood as she motioned to her partner.

"That is why I need your parents signatures by tomorrow. Even though you may not have this class tomorrow I want you to drop it off on your own time or you'll have detention for a week. Your parents will sign this to say when it maybe the right time to have this sleepover. You will see how the other half lives and vise versa. In the end you'll hopefully learn more about each other and to reassure that you have been at each others homes your parents will be signing the slips each and everyday." Yura took a seat at her desk as she looked upon her students.

"No way Yura. I'm not going to do this project. No way. I rather fail this so called class than spend a week with him." She said coldly as Kagome took her seat.

"Well if you don't do this project you'll be spending your recess in detention till the school year is over."

Kagome growled as she crossed her arms in front of her chest. She felt a hand on her shoulder and laid her eyes on her partner. "Don't you worry. I'll try not to lay my hands on you." He smirked and to wipe that smirk off of his lips Kagome looked at Yura and punched Kira in the face. Clenching his now bleeding nose he remained smiling and Kagome just scowled right back at him.

"Ms. Higurashi. This is exactly why I'm doing this project. It is so I don't have outburst like that in my classroom." Kagome just shrugged and ignored her. As the Recess bell rang Kagome bolted out of her seat and head toward the exit with her rubric in hand. Ren followed moments later and walked beside her friend.

"Can you believe this? How can such a teacher assign such a project?" She spat out as she head toward the roof. Ren just sighed and followed.

"You did get the cutie. I mean I saw you blush when he put his hand around you so don't be like that."

"I didn't blush. I was angry and when I angry I become.... Well red."

"Yeah right Kagome, just admit you got the cutie and we on the other hand got stuck with the ugly ducklings." As they got up the flight of stairs leading to the roof Kagome slammed the door open and leaned on the fence as she sank to the floor.

"I don't like him. He's way to sure of himself. He smirks so much it's like he saying he wins."

"Well first of all he does win because he likes you and now you're partnered with him and he gets to spend a week with you." Ren scanned the rubric once again and sat beside her.

"Don't remind me. I hate this, I wish I had your partner." Smashing the rubric in her bag she leaned up against the fence and sighed.

"What do you mean he's damn annoying. Hojo is such an ass I mean every time your with him he keeps on talking and talking and talking. He never stops, it like a motor running on Duracell batteries. His mouth keeps on going and going and going." Kagome cornered her eyes to Ren and smiled.

"What a perfect match."

"What does that suppose to mean?"

"Well miss motor mouth with Mr. Motor mouth is a perfect match don't you think?" Ren glared at her and crossed her arms and soon enough her anger averted to a wicked smile as Sesshomaru walked through the door.

"What's with the sudden change of mood?" Kagome inquired as Sesshomaru sat beside her.

"You'll see." Ren looked passed her friend and smiled at Sesshomaru. He looked at her with confusion as a wider grin plastered on her face.

"What is it?" He asked.

"To bad that you and Kagome won't have that date." Kagome jerked her head to face Ren. "Kagome has to spend all her time with another man." As Ren finished Sesshomaru tensed up in jealousy as he clenched his fist.

"What do you mean another man?" Ren took out her new cell phone and showed him a picture of Kira.

"I took the picture this morning. He's way cute and Kagome here has to spend a whole week with him and on the weekend the guy has to sleepover at her house. Don't you think that's way cute?" Ren smirked at Kagome. Looking back at an angered Sesshomaru Kagome sighed.

"It's a project Sesshomaru so don't get so mad." She snatched the rubric from Ren's hands and handed it to him. "See read it over." As he continued to read his knuckles turned white as he clutched the paper tighter and tighter in his hands.

"What is this? I never got to sleepover your house seeing that your parents would never let me and now because it's a school project he gets to. It says you have to be at the each other's house today. So whose house are you spending in?" He questioned, handing the paper back to Ren.

"Well I don't know exactly, I was to mad about this to even ask him." Kagome rolled her eyes at the whole thing. She hated to spend so much time with a jerk like Kira and now Sesshomaru's getting into this that creates more problems. This day is just getting worse each second.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Slouching in her chair Kagome laid her head down on the desk as she waited for the history teacher to arrive. This was the last class of the day and she was exhausted. For P.E, Mrs. Hashibana made the class run 6 laps around the field and she couldn't believe it. She may be quiet but she is cruel seeing that she made them run for the first day of school.

She closed her eyes as her muscles eased up. All she wanted to do was sleep but she knew she couldn't. Moments later her eyes shot open as someone's lips brushed against her cheek. Kagome sat up and glared. "What the hell did I just say about going near me?" Her venomous words shot out at him and all he did was smile. He took a seat next to her and looked at the front of the class.

"Come on Kagome you know you absolutely want me and I want you to." This guy reminded her of Sesshomaru when she first met him, although he was way forward and too confident. He would set his eyes on something and he would chase after it until he got his grasp on it. His whole personality was out there and Kagome couldn't stand it.

"Me want you? That's such a laugh that I want to already punch you." She glared as the bell rang and the teacher entered the classroom.

"I'll follow you home after school today."

"My home, no way your not-"

"Well it doesn't matter, you can stay at my house but no one is ever home on a Monday." He leaned back on his chair to get comfortable as he looked at the front of the class.

"Fine, We'll stay at my house but my friends are coming over for a movie night."

"Perfect, We'll just watch a movie and tomorrow we can work on that poster." Kagome winced as he finished. The poster was supposed to be about there families and she didn't know how to start. She didn't have too much pictures of herself with her foster family or her real family. It was hard for her to even think about another person telling her life to the whole class.

She was soon snapped out of her thoughts as a bell rang. She was thinking about the past that she lost track of time. She packed her stuff and looked at Kira.

"So shall we be going to your home?" Kira followed the angered girl out of the classroom. Kagome sighed as she walked through the halls. She just hopes the day will go smoothly even though her school day was awful. Now she had to go home with a complete stranger and learn about him. Damn, What a week this is going to be.

About the project and all well I wanted to do that because I just had to...lol... It's not like teachers would do that but I just had to do that so yea. So this guy Kira is a bit out there don't you think? If only guys were out spoken like that. LOL... Well thanks for reading.
