Learning to Let Go
A Morning to Forget
Kagome slowly walked across the school courtyard by herself. "It's Saturday and I am at school. What the hell?" Her voice echoed through the air. It was beautiful out. Blue skies, bright sun, your basic cliché Saturday. "Okay, go in, get what you need to, and come out. Don't get sidetracked," Kagome thought out loud.
A few minutes later, Kagome approached the metal doors of her high school. The once fire red colour had chipped and faded to reveal the steel grey under-colour, which made the school just a little less welcoming. The halls seemed so different without the students around. Truth be told, Kagome found the slamming of lockers and the screaming and laughing comforting. She turned a corner. Before she knew it, she was standing in front of her green locker.
Damn thing is so freaking small, Kagome thought as she rotated the dial on her lock. Can't even keep a winter coat in there. She pulled the lock down and it clicked open. Finally.
She reached in and pulled out her binder. "Thank you Senor Portez for the Spanish homework," Kagome mumbled while she closed her locker. "The only think that could make this worse would be seeing that ass hole Inuyasha." She walked out of the school and into the sunlight. Outside she saw the one person she never wanted to see on the weekend.
Inuyasha was a silver haired hanyou who had no trouble making as many friends as he wanted. He was tossing around the good ol' pigskin with Miroku, the school hentai. And sitting on the grass, watching her beloved Inuyasha show off his athletic abilities was Kikyo. Kikyo was popular, smart, and a snob. To sum it all up, Kikyo was a . Not Kagome's kind of crowd.
"Damn it." Kagome could feel the blush rising in her cheeks. God, he's so hot! Instinctively, she started rubbing her cheeks with her hands to giver her current situation a more 'natural' look. "Screw it." She regained her composure and began to walk past Inuyasha and his cronies without any embarrassment if possible, but mainly to make in past Inuyasha without looking back at him.
Kikyo saw Kagome walking past them, and decided that it would be 'fun' just to spite her. She got up and wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's neck and whispered something in his ear and started to giggle. Inuyasha turned around and gave is girlfriend a funny look before continuing with the game again.
"Go to hell, Kikyo," Kagome grumbled as she left the school grounds. "I can take the hint, okay."
The weekend passed all too quickly for Kagome. Before she knew it, she was standing in front of her green locker, but this time it was Monday.
"Kagome! Hey Kago – me!" Sango called as she ran up a flight of stairs. Kagome turned around to see her best friend running up to her. "How was your weekend?"
"Bring as hell! Or was that a rhetorical question?" Kagome replied sighing. "The usual. Homework and babysitting.
"Oh. Well, I went shopping... again." Just as the last word left Sango's mouth, a locker a few down from Kagome's opened. "But on a better note, who do you know that inhabits locker number 1013?"
"Ohmigosh! No!" Kagome spun around and immediately saw him. Almost as fast, a deep red blush hit her in the face. She turned back around to face Sango. "Kay, we're leaving."
"But I just got here!" Sango whined.
"NOW!" Kagome commanded. She grabbed Sango by the arm and dragged her to the stairs. "Do you know who that is?" the frustrated girl asked her friend.
"Sure I do. That's Inuyasha and..."
"And he's the biggest blubber headed, egotistical, moronic asshole to ever enrol at Shrine High!"
"Fff, yah sure," Sango scoffed. "But that's not what I was going to say. I was going to say he's coming our way." Kagome's eyes bulged and she grabbed Sango's arm again and practically dragged her down the stairs. Then the first bell rang.
"Well, see ya at lunch!" Sango called as she headed for her fist class. Kagome watched her friend vanish in a classroom.
"Yah. After lunch," she mumbled.
Every lunch was the same. Go to the cafeteria, buy lunch, pick a completely empty table, sit down and start multitasking. Which would usually be eating, listening or talking, and eavesdropping. The whole lunch would go on like this until either Kagome or Sango would bring up the topic of... Inuyasha.
"How was your morning?" Kagome asked as she scanned the entrance of the lunchroom.
"Um... okay I guess," Sango replied. "Yours?" Rin joined the table.
"Hai," she sighed. "Oh Sango, kawaii lunch!"
"Um, thanks." Sango answered. She looked at Kagome, who was starting to blush. Sango turned around and saw why. Inuyasha was walking towards their table. Oh gosh! Sango thought. Here we go again.
