"I have to stay after school today, Kaemon," Kagome said as they were walking together through passing period.
"Why?" asked Kaemon as he stopped at his locker.
"I didn't do well on some homework and I need to study for my test tomorrow," Kagome quickly explained and he sighed.
"Well I guess I'll tell Ryouta to pick you up then later," Kaemon closed his locker and Kagome smiled.
"Thanks. See you at home later."
Kagome turned around and walked down the hall to her class before passing period ended. He watched his younger sister disappear into the abyss of the students and sighed again.
Two weeks since the school semester had started and he was still worrying about her. He wasn't going to lie to himself, his sister was beautiful. That is why there were so many lustful eyes that watched her small, petite, developing body.
He clenched his teeth, angry over that fact. He couldn't help but be overprotective. It was only him, his brothers and Kagome.
Keamon couldn't afford to lose Kagome to a guy, especially a guy from this school. High school is a barnyard; the guys are pigs.
Keamon walked to his class, he was always thinking of ways to keep Kagome safe from the prowling eyes of high school boys.
----
Kagome walked to her locker, the end of the day bell had rung and she was gathering some books to study with. "Only two weeks in and I'm already swamped with homework and tests," she sighed.
"Hey Kagome!" Eri approached her. "Oh, hi Eri," she smiled at her friend as she approached her.
"You still staying after school?" Eri asked
"Yup, I got lots of major studying to do," Kagome sighed loudly. "Why not study at home? You have a room to yourself," she reminded her.
"And three obnoxious older brothers. They'll bother me no matter how hard they try not to." Kagome explained bitterly.
"Oh, well I wanted your opinion on something."
"Ok, what is it?" asked Kagome.
"Well…umm… a guy asked me out," she flushed red.
"That is great, Eri!" Kagome exclaimed but she shook her head.
"I don't know what to do. He is in my science class and he is really cute, we talk all the time in class and well…" Eri trailed off,
"Well what?"
"I don't know. What would you do if a guy asked you out?" asked Eri.
"Well…" Kagome's cheeks became red as she looked as if she was going to give a speech. "If a guy asked me out ... I guess I would say yes if he was really, really cute."
Eri giggled at the joke but there was a loud cough coming from behind Kagome.
"So you wouldn't mind going out with me?" a male voice said and Kagome turned around and scowled. "What are you doing here, Takahashi?" Kagome crossed her arms.
Eri looked at the Kagome to Inuyasha. 'Inuyasha Takahashi is a second year student and he is interested in Kagome! Kagome is so lucky! He is a high school god! Any girl would be lucky to go out with him!'
"To ask you out of course," he smirked and she rolled her eyes in disgust.
"I don't know, I'll have to think about it for a while ..." Kagome began, "OK! Thinking's done, NO!" Kagome she closed her locker and Eri's mouth dropped.
"What?" they both said in unison.
"You heard me. NO." she repeated.
"Kagome, are you crazy?" Erisaid, she snatched Kagome's arm and took her aside, "He is THE High School God, you shouldn't reject him!" Eri whispered harshly, forgetting that Inuyasha would still be able to hear her.
"Don't exaggerate Eri. He isn't a god, not even close to one. Don't let those stupid rumors get to your head," Kagome patted Eri's head lightly and began to walk away. Inuyasha scowled and hurried to catch up with her. Eri was left behind, a little shock at Kagome's reaction to the school's god!
"So what, you won't go out with me?"
"That is what the word 'no' means, right?" she spat and he scowled once more.
"Look, I don't know what your deal is but…"
"You are my deal, buddy. You hit my brother and expect me to forgive you just like that and go out with you? First off, I'm not even supposed to talk to you, let alone want to. Second, from what my brothers tell me you are bad news mister, I know you are one of the biggest school's playa's and date girls to just get into their bed. Third, I've never met such a self-centered, arrogant, guy with such a huge ego problem in my entire life." she huffed and he narrowed his brows at her.
"Who says you can't talk to me?"
"Wha-?"
"You said you aren't even supposed to talk to me. Who said you can't?" "That is none of our business," she turned away from him and he smirked.
"It was your brothers, wasn't it?" Inuyasha trapped Kagome in a corner and crept closer and closer to her until they were nose to nose, looking each other in the eye.
"Get out of my way." Kagome tried to escape,
"Tell me it was your brothers and I might think about moving." Inuyasha pushed her into the corner even more.
"So what if it was my brothers?! They are just trying to protect me from scum like you!" she hissed and he kept her trapped.
"Why? Is it because I'm a half demon?" his half demon card always bought him some sympathy.
"Ha! If you think you can play that card on me then you are completely wrong. My brothers said nothing about you being a half demon," she poked at his chest hard, forcing him to take a small step back, allowing her to escape.
"Then how the hell did you know I was a half demon?" he asked her.
"I can just tell. I have…wait that has nothing to do with this," she scowled at him and he smirked at her. "They told me to stay away from you, so either leave me alone or I will call the police and charge you with harassment." she threatened and he stepped aside with his hands loosely up in defeat.
Kagome began to walk down the hall, away from him. "See ya later, Kagome." He called, still smirking at her.
Kagome walked down the hall with an angry, flushed expression. 'Argh…that arrogant, egoistic, one-track-mind, jerk! Now I know why my brothers wanted me to stay away from him. ARGH! He pisses me off so much! Gosh I just want to slap till he doesn't know what's what!'
Kagome turned the corner and hurried off to the library.
----
"Stupid, stupid, stupid!" Inuyasha hit his head on the wall.
"Stop that, Inuyasha, that isn't going to help your current situation which is really surprising me. I've never you so stressed over a girl, especially a first year."
"Shut up, will ya? I'm trying to think here and it's hard with you ranting on like an idiot." he spat and Miroku sighed.
"It seems that this…Kagome girl has caught your attention but only because she is untouchable…it makes you want her more, doesn't it?"
"I said shut up."
"I see, you already like this girl eh?" Miroku teased him and Inuyasha scowled at him.
"I said shut up. Inuyasha Takahashi does not like anyone," Inuyasha growled at him.
"But he does sometimes refer to himself in the third person," Miroku mocked and Inuyasha groaned.
"Can we have a serious conversation?"
"I'm sorry, it is a little hard to when you are smashing your head in." Miroku chuckled and Inuyasha growled once more.
"Her friend called me a God, a High School God!" Inuyasha sneered.
"Did she, then why do you think Kagome seems to…detest you?"
"Her brothers of course. They hate me because I got every girl they didn't," he snickered and Miroku shook his head.
"I doubt it is that, Inuyasha. Everyone, except for some of the first year students, knows of your past. How you date girls for one thing and one thing only, hell, I do it to but you know what…I think I want to stop," Miroku tapped his chin in thought.
"Huh? I thought you loved to do it more then I do," Inuyasha asked.
"I did." Miroku sighed, "I did. But being with a girl for only a month…it isn't healthy. I think I want a fresh start." Miroku insisted.
"So you aren't going to skip this year?"
"Nope, I'm going to keep this year's slate clean so I can meet a good girl...I mean...there aren't a lot of good girls in detention are there. Plus I want to find the girl that I will spend the rest of my life with," Miroku smiled.
"We are only in high school, Miroku. There is no way you are going to find the person you are going to spend the rest of your life with," Inuyasha reminded him.
"Who knows, I might get lucky. Look, if you really want to go out with Kagome I suggest you apologize for harassing her and hitting her brother. She seems like she isn't the type of girl to rush into a relationship as you can tell. From my reliable sources…she still hasn't had her first kiss," Miroku grinned.
"Really?! A hot girl like her hasn't had her first kiss?!" Inuyasha was really surprised.
"You shouldn't really be that surprised Inuyasha. Her brothers are THAT overprotective; I bet you would be the same way if you had something that was so precious to you. Well I'll see ya tomorrow." Miroku walked away from Inuyasha and out of the school's front doors.
'I can't believe Miroku is going soft on me now! When I need him the most! Apologize…what will that do for me? Since when has apologizing helped with anything?'
Inuyasha looked to where Miroku had left and the direction Kagome had a while ago to the library. He scowled once more. "Damn you, Miroku."
----
Kagome erased her paper vigorously, "That's wrong too!"
Kagome groaned, letting her head drop on her hands. "I'm never going to learn chemistry!" she groaned once more.
"Ahem," a voice said and she looked up and frowned.
"Didn't we already have this conversation?" she snapped at him.
"Look, little Miss I-listen-to-everything-my-brothers-say, I'm here to apologize," Inuyasha growled irritably.
"For what?" Kagome asked.
"First off, for hitting your brother. I guess…I did have the advantage since I am a half demon so look, I'm sorry ok?"
"Apology accepted. Now can you leave, I hate to act rude but I need to study."
"I'm not done. I also wanted to apologize for harassing you before. I didn't mean to corner you like I did," he sighed. Kagome was surprised, he was apologizing for what he did to her. She was surprised but…wasn't going to let this one apology change her opinion on him.
"Thank you for apologizing and I accept it but…please…will you leave me alone? I'm a first year student who needs to study right now, you are a second year student and I know there are plenty of girls after you so why not ask them out? I really don't want to get caught in your tangled web, so leave, please?" she asked politely and he looked a little confused, shock but most of all hurt.
"Fine." he turned and walked out of the library, with whatever pride he had left.
Kagome watched him leave and sighed. 'He was actually being a decent person. Not like Keiji nor Kaemon had described…' Kagome thought to herself and then got back to studying.
----
"I'm home," Kagome called as she walked through the doorway. "Did you walk home?" Keiji asked and she nodded her head. "What about Ryouta? I told him to pick you up," scowled Keiji.
"I called him and he said he had to work overtime and I was finished early anyways," Kagome explained. "It is dangerous to walk alone," he reminded her and she sighed. "Where is Keamon?" asked Kagome, sitting down beside her brother.
"He went to get some take out," Keiji answered.
"I can cook you know," Kagome pouted and Keiji laughed. "Like hell you can, last time you cooked we took Kaemon to the hospital," he reminded her.
"He had really bad stomach acid was all, you guys overreacted." Kagome sank into the couch.
"Whatever, it was your fault."
"Was not…Keiji…"
"Yeah?"
"How long have you known…InuYasha Takahashi?" asked Kagome after a lot of arguing in her mind. Keiji sighed,
"Since middle school, he didn't really have a reputation back then so that is why you didn't hear about him much. He got his reputation because he pushed himself out there. He tries too hard for people to notice him," Keiji reached for his soda on the coffee table. Kagome stretched out her arm and picked up a coaster and placed the soda on top of it,
"Why?"
"Because he is a half demon, Kagome. You know half demons aren't really accepted in our society, no matter what time we live in, they aren't really accepted by anyone so he forces himself out in front of people, no matter how much society changes…he will always be a half demon who tries too hard to get noticed." Keiji sighed and Kagome stared at the T.V. but took no notice of what was happening on the screen.
Keiji noticed his sisters lost gaze and pushed her lightly. "Why so interested in that creep?" Keiji arched his eyebrow and Kagome broke from her trance.
"No reason…it just that Yuka and Eri talk about him as if he is a god or something and I just wanted to know why he was like that. I didn't think someone was like that intentionally. Well I'm going to go take a shower," Kagome stood up and walked into the bathroom.
Keiji crossed his arms, unsure of what to make of this. Kagome was lying to him, he could tell. He was her older brother; he always could tell whenever she lied. He was one year older than Kagome, and yet, he had always been closest to her rather than his older siblings. That is why she got so upset at Inuyasha and at him when they had gotten into a fight at school.
"I'm home." Kaemon came through the door, dropping bags of take out on the counter. "Hey." Keiji greeted.
"You're … thinking? That is unusual." teased Kaemon.
"Shut up. Are you keeping a good eye on Inuyasha?" asked Keiji.
"Yeah, why? Did he do something to Kagome?" asked Kaemon with a suspicious look.
"I…I don't know," Keiji honestly answered and Kaemon looked puzzled.
"Was Kagome acting weird?" asked Kaemon.
"Nothing out of the ordinary, just asking questions about him." Keiji went back to watching T.V. and Kaemon looked up the stairway of their home.
'Those two are too secretive always have been…ever since our parents died. But what happened today that Keiji isn't telling me?' Kaemon wondered as he walked into the kitchen to sort out their dinners.
