I grunted as I hit the ground after a demon that the school kept for demon training purposes only threw me down on a mat. Sango threw her weapon, which gave me a distraction. I fired an arrow, and it hit the demon, and 'killed' it. The demon will be revived.

Sango and I are the best demon fighters at this school. Not even the demons or half demons can do better than us. Not even InuYasha and Sesshomaru together.

I'm Kagome Higurashi. I am 17 years old, and am a junior in high school.

Sango Tijay is my best friend and demon fighting partner. She is 17, a junior, and she is dating Miroku Mushin,

Miroku Mushin is the school's pervert. He has the powers of a monk, and is 17, and a junior. He doesn't do much demon slaying, but he can if he wanted to. His best friend is InuYasha Takahashi.

InuYasha Takahashi is 17, a junior, and half demon, meaning half human blood, half demon. He fights demons, just like me, but he isn't as good as me. His brother is Sesshomaru Takahashi.

Sesshomaru Takahashi is 18, a senior, and he fights demons, just like Sango, but not as good. He is full dog demon, and can't stand InuYasha, but then neither can I. Sango doesn't much care for him either.

In this school, to be somebody, you have to be good at fighting demons. It always comes down between me and Sango, and InuYasha and Sesshomaru. You see, we do tag, so there are two people. Well, if InuYasha and Sesshomaru hate each other, why are they partners? Because they're good together as a team. They know this, they are not stupid(well, InuYasha is mostly), but they are no rivals for me or Sango.

Sango and I are preparing for an exam that will get us into advanced demon slaying. Well, you might be wondering,'ifyou're so good, why aren't you?', Well, there are two different classes, boys and girls. We're in the advanced girls class, but we want in the boys class, because they do stuff, the girls don't.

"Well done you two. Do ye think ye are ready for the big test tomorrow?" Asked the teacher for all demon slaying classes.

"Yes Ms. Keade, I think we'll be fine tomorrow." Said Sango, who was wiping sweat off her forehead.

"Can you tell us what demon we're facing?"

"No, but I know they will be tough on you two. They don't like it when girls try to be in boy's classes. It will be hard."

"Do you think they'll use the 'monster'?" Asked Sango in a worried voice.

The monster is a fierce demon that, a couple of years ago, killed the two slayers that went in to try and defeat it. You would've thought that they would get rid of the thing.

"No child. He hasn't been used since the deaths. They would not put ye in that much danger."

"Well, I hope we're ready for them." I said.

"Ye will be fine. Noow, go shower up, and get home and sleep. Ye need as much energy as ye can get."

We both bowed. "Thank you Kaede."

She gave us smiles, and left.

"Aww, man, I can't believe that we have to go through with this tomorrow." Said Sango.

"Girl, we'll be fine, and you can show Miroku what you're made of." I wiggled my eyebrows at her.

"Yeah, and maybe InuYasha will come looking for you to be his girlfriend, and when you beat him up, he'll want you more." She giggled, and so did I.

"Sure Sango, whatever. I don't know who hate who more at this point. If he didn't say stupid things, maybe, just maybe, we could get along."

"Oh, not be friends, or even become romanticly involved, but just get along." Laughed Sango.

I laughed with her. "Yeah. Come on, let's get home and sleep."

We both got our stuff, and just went home. Unfortunatly, InuYasha's house is two away from mine, and even worse, he was sitting on my stairs waiting on me. He looked asleep, so I just left him there.

I went upstairs, and showered, put night clothes on, and went to sleep.

The next morning, I got ready for the exam. Everyone in school knows what Sango and I are doing today.

I put on some black shorts that came down to mid-thigh, and a purple solid shirt. I put on some Converse because those are the shoes I do best in. In another bag, I had the demon fighting portion of my exam in it. Shprt-shorts: black. A long-sleved thermal, because I didn't know what the temperature would be: navy blue. I was ready for this thing. Sango and I would get all day off to take this exam, so I didn't need to bring anything else.

I went downstairs, ate something that wouldn't give me trouble when I did the first part of the exam, and went down the stairs, only to find InuYasha waiting.

"Sup cuttie." He winked at me.

"Go away, you know what I'm doing today, so don't bother me."

I turned and kept walking, and he left me alone.

When I got to the school, I went straight to the gym, and waited for Sango. She showed up, and then the judges followed her. One of them was Sesshomaru.

"Alright ladies. You wish to be in the advanced boys' demon slaying class, well now it's time to prove you can. Let the exam begin."

Sango went first. She threw her boomerang around like nothing, then fought with a sword the rest of the time. I used my bow and arrows most of the time. I threw knives the rest.

Now comes the worst part: Fighting the demon.

"Alright. You must make it back in fifteen minutes, or you gain a penalty." They were testing us. No one can fight a demon in fifteen minutes except us and InuYasha and Sesshomaru.

"Today, you will be facing, Onji. Or, as you call him, the Monster." The woman that spoke was smirking, and it was making me mad.

"The Monster, that thing killed two people, and you want two humans to fight it?!" Yelled Sango. I tapped her on the arm, and motioned for us to go and change.

Once in the room for changing, Sango started freaking out while dressing. "I just can't believe they're making us do this. It isn't fair."

"Sango, we'll be okay. If something goes wrong, and we need to be saved, then they will."

"Okay."

We got back out, and the judges told us to bring whatever weapons we wished. Sango chose the boomerang, and a sword. I chose a bow, about 6 arrows, and some throwing knives.

We got in front of the door, that was high and opened from the bottom, and waited. When the door started to open, steam ccame rolling out from under it. Sango and I rushed under it, and stopped. It was hot in there, and steamy. I made a hand motion to Sango to split up. She looked hesitant, but did it. I went, and saw something purple flash in my sight. I shot at it, and I hit the thing. It was a little flower thing to tell us that the demon was close. Sango came running when she heard the arrow loose contact with the string. We kept on going, until we heard something big.

We looked around the corner, and there was a fat yellow demon with orange fangs, and purple feel. It looked like a rainbow fat teletubby.

I nodded at Sango, and she wordlessly threw her boomerang. It hit the demon, and it looked up, and that's when I fired the arrow I'd shot the flower thing with. I it it, but it didn't die like it should have. It picked me up and tossed me into a patch of grass.

By now this thing was mad, and we could easily see how it could kill two people, and more. Sango threw her weapon one more time, but the thing cought it. It snapped the boomerang in two, and hit Sango on the head and knocked her out. So, I did the only thing I could. I said the passcode to get us the heck out of there.

"Sorry, but if we send down the hover, the Monster will destroy it. Sorry about this, but we can't. You have to fight it, or die."

I ran, or jogged, away from the thing to process what the lady just said. They weren't sending any help, so now we have to die. No way. Nope, I ain't dying in here, no way, no how.

I got one of the knives, and went back. I threw it at the creature, and it hit him, but didn't kill him. He turned around, and kicked the breath out of me, and I landed a couple of feet away. I saw some liquid coming out of the creature, and it was the reviving juice the school used, and this thing just got drunk off of it. I just have to keep killing it until it doesn't have anymore juice left in it. I threw another knife, but the thing caught it, and threw it back. It cut my arm, but other than that didn't do anything. I got out my arrows, and started firing. It was working, until I ran out of arrows, but it'd been weakened enough. I made my final blow, because I couldn't take much more, and the demon fell dead to the ground. I fell to my knees, and started to pant.

The lights came on in the room, and the hover came down from the ceiling, and Sesshomaru came over, helped me up, and got me out of there.

"How is Sango?" I asked.

Sesshomaru giggled slightly.(A/N: He's ooc). "He'll be okay. You are amazing. You've just been through hell and back, and you want to know how Sango is doing? Wow. InuYasha!" He called to said half demon.

"What happened to her!" Yelled InuYasha. He almost sounded worried for me.

"You saw it just as much as I did on the screen. She got hit with a knife, and hit around like a rag doll. She might have some mental damage."

"Please, my brain is fine, and always will be." I said.

"Well, the room is dark, and I can't see anything in there. Are you okay?" He asked me.

"Nice job acting concerned, and sure, just a little sore."

"Can you take her to the nurse, InuYasha? I'm going back in to help them with Sango." Said Sesshomaru.

"Yeah, just give her to me." He held his arms out, and Sesshomaru 'gave' me to him.

"Heh, almost like I'm giving away a bride." Laughed Sesshomaru. "this is the future that this Sesshomaru sees."

"Stop making terrible jokes dude." I said.

Once Sesshomaru turned, and was back in the door, I released myself from InuYasha.

"What do you think you're doing?" Asked InuYasha. He wrapped an arm around my waist from the back, and the other wrapped around the front of my waist, and joined his hands together. "I'm supposed to take you to the nurse."

"So? I can walk there myself, so hands off."

He grinned evilly, and got closer. "Why, does this make you nervous?" He asked. When I didn't budge, he faltered. "Alright then, you want to play the game like, that." He moved the arm that had the front of my waist, and bent down, put it behind my knees, and picked me up. "Then we can play the game like that."

"Put me down. I can get there myself."

He started walking. "No, you might have some head trauma. I need to make sure that you're okay before you walk on your own." He seemed to get serious. It almost embarrassed me, and made me blush, but then I remembered who I was talking to.

"InuYasha, I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

"I still want to make absolutly sure that you're alright." There was an aquward silence after that.

I cleared my throat. "So, ugh, what happened in first today? Anything interesting?"

"Ha. Anything in Totosai's class interesting? What, do you even go to that class?" InuYasha laughed.

I laughed along with him. "Yeah, not the best question, I know. But what happened?"

"Well, first, he forgot that you and Sango were in the gym. He and Koga and Miroku started fighting for about five minutes, and then he remembered that you two were taking the exam to be with me and Sesshomaru. Well, then, me and Koga got into it, and Miroku broke it up. Me and Miroku passed notes the whole way through, and next thing I know, I'm being called to the gym so Sesshomaru and I could help you two, but clearly, you didn't need it."

I giggled a little. "Well, Sango needed me, and I couldn't disappoint."

"I'm sure you can't." He wiggled his eyebrows.

"Okay, that needs to stop."

"Aww, but I'm funny, and that's why you love me."

"Yeah, love, that's the word I would use to describe our relationship." I said sarcasticly.

"Well, now that you agree with me, let's go out tonight. You, me, and a dark, dark room." Said InuYasha like it was going to happen.

"Sure, and while we're at it, let's be partners if I get into your class." By now, we're both laughing.

He was still laughing a little by the time he spoke again. "Well, we should really concider becoming friends, since you've aced the first two tests. We will be spending a lot of time together, so why not."

I gave him a look. "Are you serious?"

He stopped walking, me still suspended in the air. "Yes, I am. How about we talk over lunch today, outside, on the table in the corner."

"Don't you have to eat with your girlfriend?"

He gave me a sour look. You see, this girl, Kikyo, is in love with him, and she stalks him. It's funny, because he doesn't like her at all. "What do you think, Kagome?"

I laughed a little. We'd started, or rather he'd started walking again. "And, sure, why not. I don't have anything else to do."

"Oh, so now I'm more important then Sango?"

"She won't be awake before lunch."

We'd reached the nurse by now, and e was slowly putting me down. "Thank you." I said as he came back up. "You can let go of my waist anytime."

His grip tightened. "No, don't think I will."

"Well, you'll have to if you want me to get better."

"Fine, but only because I don't want you to have a brain issue."

"I told you, I'm going to be fine. Now, I'm going to get these cuts cleaned up, and then I'm going to take the paper test, and then I'll see you at lunch. Far table in the corner, away from everyone else?"

"Yep, and make sure that you're outside, not inside. I'm making sure that no one will overhear us." Today, it was cold enough to be snowing.

"Sure thing. I'll freeze out there."

He looked over me, his eyes lingering on my legs. "I think I have the perfect solution. Just trust me, okay?"

I thought about it for a minute, but the nurse came and took me. "You'll find out at lunch." I called over my shoulder.
