Summary: Sesshoumaru finds out that Kagome is being bullied.
Sesshoumaru and Kagome were together on top of the roof again during a break between classes. Sesshoumaru was stretched out under the sun with his arms folded under his head, while Kagome sat demurely next to him. Sesshoumaru opened one eye and studied her, a slight frown on his face.
She had taken her glasses off earlier, holding them loosely in her hands as she leaned up against the small structure where the exit was, her head resting against the plaster and her face tilted up towards the sky. Her midnight black tresses curled around her face, her bangs a little too long as they curled against her forehead, and her expression looking a little too… sad.
Sesshoumaru’s eyes sharpened, and he sat up, turning to her to touch a gentle fingertip to her cheek. He waited until her startled blue eyes met his before asking, “What’s wrong?”
She gave him a half-hearted smile. “It’s nothing, Sesshoumaru. Don’t worry about it.”
Her response only made him frown deeper. “Kagome…”
Her eyes dropped, and her fingers started fiddling around with her glasses. “Well… there were some students earlier…”
Sesshoumaru waited a beat. “And?”
An embarrassed flush made its way up her neck, and her eyes still avoided his. “They… they said something about me being an ugly nerd. And how it was stupid to have you as my guard dog when someone like me didn’t deserve having someone like you watch over… S-Sesshoumaru?”
“Who were they?” Sesshoumaru’s voice was icy, his expression dark and forbidding.
“S-Saitoh-san. And Gonzo-san.” Kagome’s eyes widened in alarm when Sesshoumaru stood up and made his way towards the exit. “Wait! What are you doing?!”
“I’m going to find them,” Sesshoumaru said darkly. “And I’ll make sure they regret ever messing with you in the first place.”
