I was not blind!

(Kag's remembrance)

I started dating Sesshoumaru when we were in high school. I was a senior and so was he. I never even wanted a boyfriend, I just wanted to hang out with my friends. Hell, I didn't really even know Sesshoumaru. That's where I made my mistake, I wished I would have listened to my inner self and refuse his flirtatious attitude! But I was curious!

Sess saw me at the beginning of the summer, I was a cheerleader and it was seasonal pictures with the football players and of course being the jock he was, he was there. I swear he made me so nervous with all his stares and whispering to the guys. I just prayed that when it was picture time, I wouldn't have to sit by him.

"SHIT...oh piss fire no, their gonna sit me right between his damn legs. Why me Lord?"

(Sesshoumaru's remembrance)

My heart started beating wildly, fuck, I thought I was gonna have a heart attack because there she was. Kagome, the girl I dreamed about since I came to this school last Spring. Only, shit, only if I could just touch her, maybe just a touch while walking by (NO! I'm not a damn pervert!).

I could not take my eyes off her, heck, I felt like I was in heat. I told all my guy friends and others who were listening, "Kagome WILL be my girl before the first game". Well, I never expected the replies I got from the guys who knew her, the little shits were laughing and saying things like "well you must have qualities none of the rest of us have, because she won't give any of us the time of day", I said "Good". Then they said, (especially my new friend Naraku who grew up in the same rural town as her and knew her background) that I didn't have a chance in hell of going out with her. "Hn," I said loud enough for all to hear, but little did they know all was gonna change. You know fate has a way of helping out. (However, now that I look back at this, I wish I had done things so much different to her, maybe Kagome's life would be different 30 years later!)

I swear I almost pissed my uniform (wouldn't that be a joke, Mr. King of the shits piss'en on himself) when they sit her nice, sweet ass right between my legs on the next row, I swore I heard angels sing "Glory, glory hallelujah". I made the gestures of pretending to grab her and licking my lips where all the guys could see, but with all the sniggering she was bound to hear and yes, my soon to be Kagome turned around and gave me the sweetest smile and I was lost.

The pictures were taken, I carried that program for the upcoming season around all summer telling my mom and brothers that this is gonna be my girlfriend. They knew I had it bad for Kagome, and I did! Dad wasn't around much always working, which was good! Dad was always so up-tight about everything and thought all was beneath him including mom. Dad was making us move to another state because he just would not have mom driving 300 miles to see my games while I lived with my grandma! So we moved! Then the fun of high school begins with Kagome or rather the downfall of her pride in the future. Right now I am unsure why I did what I did!
