College Blues

Chapter 1

Her sapphire blue eyes stared longingly at the two furry appendages. The male who sat across from her knew what she was thinking and flicked his dog-like ears, smirking as her blue eyes widened.

"Please?" her sultry voice pleaded with him. His amber eyes seemed contemplative.

"No." he smirked again. She huffed.

"Come on, Inu! Don't be so cruel!" the small female pouted as she blew a piece of obsidian black hair out of her eyes. Her college companion grinned at her pout before turning back to his homework. Seeing him thinking had her reaching across the table to snag one of those furry appendages.

"Damn it, Kagome!" He snapped back and growled at her. She laughed in delight at him.

"Sheesh, get over it Inu. It's sort of that I scratch your back you scratch mine...only I get to play with your ears and you get help on your Stats problems." He grumbled at her before allowing her to look at his paper. He watched her nibble on the end of her pencil as she looked over his work. He felt his ears flatten as she rolled her blue eyes and scribbled something down.

He had met Kagome their freshmen year of college. She was the room mate of some chick he was after and they just clicked. There was something about her that drew him to her, but only in a friendly way. He cared about Kagome a lot, but he could never date her. The female was crazy when she wanted to be, in fact...he had often thought of introducing her to his older half brother. He needed someone who wouldn't be afraid to kick his ass...

"Hey! What the hell are you doing?" he demanded as she tore up his homework. She huffed at him, tossing her head back as a few loss strands from her bun got in her face. She scowled at him causing him to flinch.

"Do you even pay attention in class, Inu?" she asked him as she threw the paper ball at him. His amber eyes went cross eyed as it hit him the forehead.

"Feh...I pay attention." To that nice chest that chick has next to me...

"Uh huh." Kagome said, "More so to some female next to you. I bet she has big breast too." Ah, she knew him so well.

"So..." he was inwardly grinning now as she dug out her binder for paper. "How did that...get together with that guy go?" Her blue eyes snapped to him as he openly smirked.

"I'm sure you know how it went...since you threaten to rip off his balls if he touched me!" she shrieked causing a few students in the café to look at them.

"Yeah...well he was an asshole anyway." He said as he watched her write down a problem and then solved it before shoving it to him. He glanced at the steps and wondered why the hell he didn't do that in the first place.

"You say that about every guy I try to date! Damn it, Inu. Is it bad enough people think we're dating?" she whined a bit and smacked his hand when he started to do the problem wrong. He growled in frustration at her before erasing his work.

"Hell woman, you said yourself its incest." InuYasha smirked as he looked up. She had this weird look in her eyes that said he was probably going to be eating his textbook if he didn't shut up. "Feh...you still coming home with me this weekend?"

"I'm not sure..." she looked sheepish, which told him she forgot. "I haven't found anyone to cover me at work."

"It's the fucking dining hall, how hard can it be?!" he demanded at her. She blushed before snapping back.

"Hey! There aren't that many supervisors okay? I'll just talk to my boss and I'm sure it will be alright."

"I don't like him."

"He's got a girlfriend for crying out loud! The hug you saw was friendly, nothing more!"

"Yeah, if I didn't show up it would have been more!" Kagome threw her hands up in the air before glaring at him.

"I swear, if I didn't love you I would kill you." She glared at him before smiling. She took back his homework and nodded over it. "I hope you know that I am the only reason you are passing this class."

"At the abuse of my ears." InuYasha grumbled and laughed outright at her pained expression.

"They're just so cute!" she squealed before pouncing on him. "I really like the piercing." She fingered the single golden hoop. He grinned again before pushing her off of him and grabbing up their stuff.

"Of course you do, you got me drunk and forced me into it."

"I do my best persuasion when you are intoxicated." She grinned as they left the café to head back to her room.

"You coming?" he asked again. Usually he wouldn't pester her so much about it but his brother was going to be there. He wanted her to keep him company and maybe try to push her off on his brother, a little. There was a little part of him that still thought his own brother wasn't good enough. He knew he was just protective, he saw her as part of his pack, and his inner beast saw her as a sibling.

She waved at a group of males and he felt his jaw clench, one of the most annoying siblings but one none the less. Kagome grinned up at him, her blue eyes hidden behind her shades. She knew it irritated him and she did it because she could. That was fine; he planned on stealing her ramen when he got to the room. And maybe hiding her pocky from her...she hated when he took it from her...and the Dr. Pepper...yeah, revenge was sweet.

"Yes, Inu. You win; I'm coming home with you this weekend."

Sesshomaru stared into space as the professor lectured on about personality disorders. He ignored the incessant poking come from the female at his side. Maybe if he ignored her she would get the hint and stop.

The pinch that came next had him snapping up and glaring at the offending person. Her dark eyes danced in delight that she had gained his attention. She pointed towards the front of the room to draw his attention back to the lecture. He huffed at her before looking ahead. He didn't know why she was so worried about it; he was the one who cornered her into taking the class with him, if only to serve as a buffer between him and those rabid college girls.

He glanced from the corner of his eye at the female next to him; he almost smirked at the doodles that littered her notebook. She got on him about not paying attention. His golden eyes glittered in amusement before slowly reaching over and snatching the pen from her hand.

"Hey!" she cried out. The professor stopped and looked at her in question.

"Was there something you needed to know, Sango?" he asked her. Sango blushed, before mumbling a negative reply and slouching in her seat, the tall godly being beside her chuckled bluely at her. Her dark eyes snapped in fury.

"I could hurt you for that." She hissed.

"You should pay attention." He smirked at her before handing her pen back. She snatched it and glared before drawing crude stick figures dismembering one another. Sesshomaru raised a brow, if that was how she drew threats then he had nothing to be worried about.

Sango ignored him the rest of the class; she should be use to his odd behavior by now. After knowing him her entire college career you would think she understood him. But after all this time, she still didn't quite understand the silent figure that was Sesshomaru. He was considered a god among the females on the campus and she was often receiving glares from them.

He found it amusing. He always found the most horrible things amusing! Really! He needed to find himself a good girlfriend who could keep him line and open him up a little. She could do only so much, after all. She had tried several times to get him together with some girls she knew, but all had ended in disaster. She gave up after that, after all, she could only do so much with the older youkai.

She was going home with him this weekend, something that was not new. She often went with him to visit his family. He had a younger brother but she had never met him. In fact, the elusive half brother was going to be there.

The professor signaled the end of class and the sound of scraping chairs could be heard. She stood and grabbed her things, Sesshomaru's figure easily towering over her. She wasn't short by any means, her head of long dark hair coming to his shoulder. They walked together out of the room, quickly bypassing the drooling females and a couple leering males.

A sudden image of a short blue eyed female came to her and she fought to grin. She hadn't forgotten about her friend from all those years ago. She wondered about her from time to time, but all her attempts of locating her had failed. Maybe it wasn't meant to be for them to be friends; they sure caused a lot of ruckus when they were together.

If Sesshomaru complained about how she was now she could only imagine how he would feel if she had her old childhood friend with her. He would probably rip all his long silver hair out. The thought was appealing as she grinned evilly.

"Do I even want to know what is going through that head of yours?" he asked her, one eyebrow arched in question. She just smiled and winked at him as they walked across campus.

"Probably not." She answered him. He said nothing before looking ahead again. She thought back on how they met. She was at a party, a freshman trying to fit in the college crowd. He was a junior more or less, on the seven year business psychology program. She had one too many, and a couple guys were trying to get her to a back room. She was scared and confused, not sure what to do and knowing there were too many for her to fight back. He had appeared out of no where, like an avenging angel and knocked them all down. They had fled, and none had bothered her again. Of course, for some odd reason they both clicked. It was a friendship only, but sometimes she wondered at the two of them. He was the sophisticated youkai and she was the girl with piercings. But his family accepted her and said that she had started bringing him out of his solitude.

Sango snorted. Yeah, she could just imagine what Sesshomaru's father would think if she told him how much a sex-aholic his son was. And a fetish for asses...a big fetish, which was a plus in her book since she had the more of a chest. She grumbled at the thought of a couple of guys that tried pawing over her before she knocked them flat.

"Are you packed?" he asked her bringing her from her thoughts. She thought back to earlier that day when she stumbled out of bed, into the shower, into some decent clothes before walking out the door for class.

"Eh...no?" she laughed at his expression of disbelief. He shook his head at her.

"You said you were going to do so this morning." He narrowed his golden eyes at her. Sango huffed.

"Yeah, well morning for me is afternoon for you. Give me a break! I was tired!" she whined before storming up the stairs to her dorm. He shook his head as he watched her go. He thought back to his reason for wanting her to come this weekend. She knew his brother was going to be there, but there was another reason.

He didn't like the males on this campus. He didn't like the way they treated her. Instead, he decided that she needed someone to look out for her that would treat her right. Unfortunately, his inner beast wouldn't let him allow her with just any male. She was pack, damn it. She was going to be treated right or he would rip the male limb from limb. That last asshole had hurt her too much, if only she had let him tear him to pieces.

He sighed at the loss of the kill but smirked at his plan. His little friend didn't know it yet, but he was about to set her up with his brother. It would keep her within his pack, and if the whelp failed, he would happily dispose the world of him. Ah, yes. They matched each other so perfectly. She was just what his brash brother needed.
