Highschool Misadventures
A/N: Okay, so this is my 2nd story, but my first story for Inuyasha. I own absolutely nothing (Songs or characters or places!) but the plot line, and some of that could be debatable! :) Hope you like it!
Oh what the hell she says
I just can't win for losing
And she lays back down
Man there's so many times
I don't know what I'm doin'
Like I don't know now
By the light of the moon, she rubs her eyes
Says it's funny how the night can make you blind
I can just imagine
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
But if she feels bad then I do too
So I let her be
And she says ooh I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best but now she can't win
It's hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down, way down
Kagome smiled as she brushed her long, blue-black hair, occasionally singing along. She loved Rob Thomas.
*HONK HONK*
"HEY! Kagome! Hurry up! We're gonna be late to school!" A voice called from the street. "I don't wanna have to come up there for you again..." She smiled and stuck her head out of her window. Kagome's best friends, Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, and Rin, were leaned against Inuyasha's red Lamborghini Gallardo. All were looking up at her. She smiled again and stuck her tongue out at them.
"You won't do it Inuyasha Takahashi! I'll be down in a second! So just be patient!" Kagome yelled, ducking her head back in the window. Quickly, she gathered her books, smudged on some lip gloss and took a last look at herself in her floor length mirror before running downstairs for her coat. She smiled as she took in her reflection. Her shiny, blue-black hair fell down to her waist and it stood out against her green and khaki colored hoodie. Her dark, distressed jeans and green Converses added to the relaxed look, while still keeping it feminine and cute. Plus they made her dark, mahogany, brown eyes stand out sharply. She ran downstairs to put on her jacket just as Inuyasha was barging in the front door. "Baka! I told you to wait! I was literally not two seconds from being done!" She said glaring at him playfully. Kagome's stomach was fluttering pleasantly, as it always did, at the sight of him in his torn jeans, black t-shirt, and black jacket that contrasted beautifully with his silver hair and amber eyes. Thankfully, his snort didn't affect his overall look.
"Likely story Kags. Now get your coat and hurry up! I'm being serious for once. Coach Naraku said one more tardy and I can't play any sports for the rest of the semester." He said and rolled his eyes as he tapped one of his red and black Pumas on the wood floor impatiently. Kagome quickly shrugged on her dark brown coat and ran out the door before he could complain any more. She hopped into the front seat of his car and set her yellow backpack in the floorboard.
"Well... Nice of you to join us Kags." Sango said laughing as Kagome slammed the door shut behind her while they all piled into large-ish the backseat.
"Oh, shut up Sango... My alarm was late..." She said, smiling a bright smile. Too soon they left the warm, heated seats of Inuyasha's car and were trudging through the school parking lot. They all ran for their lockers as soon as they were inside. There was a little note inside Kagome's, but she didn't bother reading it yet. Instead, she shoved it into her pocket and grabbed her books. Then they all dashed to their first period which they shared with Rin's boyfriend and Inuyasha's brother, Sesshomaru, so they wouldn't be late. They barely made it.
Kagome groaned inwardly as her English teacher, her least favorite by the way, announced that they had yet ANOTHER project to do. Oh joy! But at least they got partners this time, but they didn't get to pick them.
"Class, I will post the pairings for the project outside sometime after lunch, so be sure to stop by again." Kagome groaned yet again and was not surprised to hear others join her own. "Now now, it can't be all THAT bad. You all love each other."
"I'll show her some love if she doesn't quit with the fake peacemaker routine again." Kagome thought.
"Likely story!" someone in the back of the class yelled. The class burst into giggles. It was probably Bankotsu... He was an alright guy, as long as a person didn't stick around him for too long. Suddenly, Kagome remembered the note from her locker. Quickly, she pulled it out and read it.
Kagome,
I really need to talk to you. Please come out to the football field after school.
XOXOXOXOX,
Hojo
"Oh dear Kami, what did that boy want now?"
"Ooh! Kags! Passin' notes! You rebel." Inuyasha whispered, wiggling his dark eyebrows up and down at her like a vaudeville villain as he snuck a clawed hand onto Kagome's desk to retrieve the note. She didn't even bother stopping him. He would just keep poking her until she let him see it anyway. He was somehow drawn to her belly sides... Kagome always giggled and caused interruptions when he poked and prodded her. She watched the smile fall from his face and the dancing light turn to hate in his eyes. "You aren't going." he said flatly, folding the note and sticking it in the breast pocket of his jacket neatly.
"No arguments here, Yash." She said, relieved. She's always been a little wary of Hojo because, well frankly, he kinda stalked her... Ever since Junior High he'd been, to quote him, "in love" with her since they first met. He popped up out of nowhere all the time just to say a few words to Kagome. She couldn't stand him... Plus he smelled kindof funny. Funny in a bad way... Kagome had tried to tell him so many times in so many ways that she doesn't like him, but it just wouldn't get through that thick skull of his! Inuyasha couldn't really stand him either because of all the flirting and the endless asking out on dates. Yash was protective of her and would step in for her when she couldn't handle it.
Inuyasha smiled at her now, "Good. You know, if he gives you any trouble, I could always kill him for you..." Kagome laughed.
"Dually noted, Yash." she said, still laughing and he smiled wider.
"So long as you know Kags!" He whispered and winked at her. She stuck her tongue out at him and he blew a kiss at her, which she dutifully caught and held it to her heart like she was 5 again. He laughed under his breath at her and shook his silver head muttering about insanity and whether it was contagious.
"Awe, you know you'd still love me anyways, Yash!" Kagome said, smiling at him. "We'd be crazy together!" she carefully reached over and rubbed one of his impossibly soft and silky ears while she smiled at him dreamily.
He carefully pulled his ear away from her adoring fingers and laughed. "Maybe so… If ya do me a fa-vor." He said, stretching out the last word into two really long syllables and stuck his tongue out at her.
"This should be interesting…" She said and stretched out in her desk, her hands behind her head, the chair tilted back on two legs. "Well, go ahead…" She prompted, motioning for him to continue. This pose made her feel like one of those important businessmen that nobody could say no to.
"Well, you remember how my mom and dad want me to be less of a Neanderthal?" He asked, wrinkling his nose cutely and not looking at her. Kagome nodded, not sure where this was going. "Well they made me join this really stupid etiquette and ballroom dance class…" he sighed. It was hard for her to picture Yash, the football star, twirling around a dance floor elegantly or pulling out someone's chair and acting all gentlemanly… It just wasn't him. He wasn't a bad guy or a slob by any means, but he was rough and tumble and wasn't afraid to hurt someone's feelings…. So long as that person was either of the male gender, or was a total bitch. If not… Well… He didn't handle tears well. It was endearing. "Anyway… They're having a Cotillion thingy and they said I need to escort someone…" he blushed here and was a bit stunned. Was he doing what she thought he was? "So, what I was trying to ask was… Um… Kagome?" he looked up at her through his thick black lashes with those gorgeous amber eyes that melted to a sweet chocolate brown around the pupils. He was bright red now and Kagome had to hold back the grin forming on her face.
"Hmm?" she asked when he paused, trying not to get lost in his eyes like she did all too often.
"I was wondering if you…. If you would be my date…" he said sheepishly, looking away from her quickly, but not before she saw the spark of hope in his eyes. "B-but it won't be a date-date!" He said quickly. "It'd just be the two of us… Um… dancing together and eating together and being… kindof… presented… together…" he said. It really didn't sound like a friend-date to her…
"Whew!" Inuyasha thought "I've done it. I've asked her. Score 1 for me." Too bad Kagome was about 100 points ahead… He looked at her through her hair so she couldn't tell he was watching her. She had her fist on her chin and was staring down at her knuckles, her cheeks were rosy and she was smiling softly. "She is too cute for her own good sometimes." He thought, smiling a bit. "Um… Kags?… Earth to Kagome?" She looked up sharply, her blush spreading farther, the blush from both cheeks meeting up across her nose.
"Oh sorry, I kinda got lost in thought… Of course I'll go with you Yash! When is it?" Her smile seemed to him to light up the room.
"Mr. Takahashi! Miss Higurashi! Would you kindly pay attention to the lesson?" Ms. Grayson demanded, her piggy eyes glaring down at the two of them.
"Yes'am…" they chorused. Kami, how annoying she was! As soon as that woman, as Inuyasha referred to her, turned around he pulled out Hobo's note and began to write, as well as throwing in some drawings around the original note and changed what it said as he went.
It now read:
"Kagome,
I am really pathetic. Please take pity upon my poor soul and date my stupid ass. I am a lonely wimp with nothing to look forward to in life but pestering you daily. Since I am clearly a glutton for rejection I would love to meet up with you on the football field to add to my growing tally of rejections.
XOXOXOXOX,
Hobo
PS, I also have a teeny tiny penis and no personality, hope that fun isn't important to you either cuz I'm also boring as a stick in the mud."
Inuyasha snickered. Besides the newly changed letter, he doodled a few things. His Tetsusaiga, Kagome shooting her bow, Miroku and his "cursed" hand, Hobo in a very awkward position involving his own ass, and Sango and her boomerang were just a few examples. He even tried his hand at calligraphy, writing Kagome's name a few times then trying it with all of their names. Everything came out surprisingly well… He snorted. "I'm in my 3rd year of Gifted Art, so I damn well better be good at drawing and scribbling."
By the time he finished his masterpiece there was about 15 minutes left in class. He finally set about doing what He'd originally planned on doing and started answering Kagome's question.
He quickly scribbled down:
"Kags, the Cotillion is in a week. I can take you shopping for the clothes we'll need tomorrow, since it's Saturday, if you want. My treat."
He tapped Kagome's shoulder and she looked up at him from her own doodles. Inuyasha smiled at her and tossed the note onto her desk. The look of joy on her face when she read the note was pure heaven for him. Her smile was sincere and reached all the way to her eyes. Just before she was about to start her reply the bell rang a little early for 2nd period.
he smiled at her and helped her pack her things for their next class. "Yash! Are you serious? A whole shopping trip with dresses and shoes and everything? All on you!" Her gorgeous eyes were wide with disbelief and hope. Inuyasha just laughed.
"I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it Kags. You know me, Mr. Moneybags. It won't even put a dent in my savings account." He slid an arm around her shoulder and hugged her quickly.
"Hehe I know, but still…" She said, smiling and laughing with him. Their laughter and smiles quickly faded as they walked into their Calculus class. Mr. Greenly, their teacher, was an unpleasant man who favored girls over boys and was known to stare down girls' shirts. Kami, how Inuyasha hated the bastard. Whenever his filthy gaze would light on Kagome, Inuyasha would growl… The fat bastard was scared of him. And with good cause.
(A/N): Hey guys. Sorry this has taken so long, but I just couldn't get up the creative juices to even attempt to fix this chapter or start on a new one. Finally I fixed it and added to it what I had, at first, decided was to be chapter 2... I like it better now that I've changed it to a 3rd person POV and added to it all.
