Rating: M

Dedication: Gabbie, I love you Hardcore.

Summary: Enter the realm of the populars. InuYasha Takahashi, Miroku Kazzanna, Koga Ookami, Sesshomaru Takahashi, Yura Yomata, Kikyo Hanara and Kanna Hamasuki run Shikon high. They are the masters and the students are their puppets. That is till a group of girls decide to crash their party. Kagome Higurashi, Sango Yomoto, Kagura Hamada and Ayame Itsunara decide they aren't going to take the populars crap anymore. Welcome to 'The populars' a world where the socially challenged and the socially acceptable collide.

--Kagome--

I was sitting next to InuYasha for the next year…Did God have it out for me?! Seriously, there was obviously something out to get me.

--Enter the Populars--

"Kagome! Get a move on, we have to hand in the papers before Mrs. Yamata beats the crap out of us!" Sango yelled from down the hall. Kagome rolled her eyes and picked up her binder. Running down the hall she passed the populars. She felt them stare at her and tried to shake the feeling off, it was uncomfortable when the populars stared at you. It was as if they were judging everything about you with a single glance. Kagome caught up to her group and they walked into the English room to come face to face with an older looking woman. Kagome looked to her friends who shrugged their shoulders.

"Uh…is Mrs. Yamata here?" Ayame asked, peeking behind the three girls. The old lady adjusted her glasses and looked the girls up and down. She was wearing a baggy blue blouse and a black skirt that came to mid shins.

"I'm the substitute, Mrs. Yamata is feeling unwell, and I shall be marking the papers, she'll be back tomorrow." She stuck out an old wrinkly hand. Kagome shrugged her shoulders and pulled out her paper, handing it to her. Sango, Kagura and Ayame did the same before turning and leaving.

"Uh…So she looked like death!" Kagura whispered as they walked by the populars. Just then a voice came out from the middle of the group.

"You shouldn't talk so poorly of yourself, you little bitch." Kagura stopped in her track. Kagura was a mature, smart girl, but when it came to insulting her, she would not take it. Kagura turned her body to the populars, her eyes blazing red as she crossed her arms and clicked her tongue.

"What did you say?" She looked to the space between Yura and Kanna. They moved aside to reveal, Kikyo Hanara. The most popular girl in school. She was smirking and leaning against the locker. She was wearing a short black skirt and a white tank top.

"I said, you shouldn't talk about yourself so poorly, or are you a bit slow?" Kikyo smirked. Kagura took a deep breath before almost pouncing on her. Kagome and Sango had known this was coming and held her arms back. Ayame was trying to push her back as she flailed her legs and swore.

"LET ME GO! I'M GONNA KICK THIS DUMB BITCHES ASS!" Kagura called as she fought against her friends. Kagome held her back on the opposite lockers; Sango was trying to hold her legs down with her own as Ayame held her against the locker. The popular guys looked at her in shock.

"Kagura, relax! Do you want to go through that whole expulsion ordeal again?" Ayame tried to reason, saying it loudly to hint at Kikyo. Kagura swore some more, looking at Kikyo.

"If it means I get to fucking mess that bitch up…THEN YES! YES I DO!" InuYasha and Miroku turned away, trying to contain their laughter as Kikyo was shaking at the sudden fire in Kagura. Koga was shaking his head as Sesshomaru watched as Kagome whispered something in her ear. Kagura nodded her head, taking two deep breathes before calming down. Her friends let her down and she smiled.

"Alright, I'm calm…Kikyo ever say another fucking word to me and I will mess you up." She smiled as she turned and walked away. Ayame looked between her and Kikyo and sighed, running up behind Kagura. Sango shook her head and put her arms behind her head before walking after them, calling out to the group.

"Don't mess with Kagura; you're in over your head, Kik." She winked and walked on. Kagome turned her head to face Kikyo.

"Honestly Kikyo, you should learn to shut your mouth, I won't always be here to calm Kagura down, and next time…I don't think I will." Kagome said looking into her eyes before Yura glared,

"Shut your filthy mouth." Kagome stilled, and turned around.

"Yura, you should really watch your back." She winked and walked out of the building.

"Uh…anyone else scared shitless?" Miroku asked, laughing nervously. InuYasha and Koga rolled their eyes as Sesshomaru pinched the bridge of his nose, shaking his head. Kikyo glared as Kagome walked away.

"Those bitches need to learn their place…" Kikyo muttered. Yura nodded her head as she brushed her fingers through her long black hair.

--Unpopulars--

"Oh whoa, that was hardcore." Sango laughed, wrapping an arm around Kagura's shoulders. Kagura laughed and put her hands in her pockets. Ayame ran up beside Kagura, skipping as Kagome walked behind them, thinking.

"Kag, wasn't that awesome? I totally thought Kikyo was going to shit herself! Nice lie, Ayame...haha, school expulsion. That was awesome." Sango laughed turning to face Ayame. Sango turned to Kagome, laughing as she was about to throw her arm over her shoulder before she stopped. Kagura and Ayame stopped laughing and turned to the suddenly quiet Kagome. Kagome was standing just a few away, her finger and thumb under her chin, her eyebrows furrowed.

"Hey…Kagome, what's up?" Kagura asked. Kagome just shrugged her shoulders.

"Yura told me to shut my mouth…so we're going to get her back." Kagome smirked. Sango and Kagura laughed as Ayame shook her head.

"What's the Game plan, boss man?" Kagura asked, smirking, Kagome laughed and told them to lean in.

--Gym--

"Sango pass it, bitch!" Kagura smirked. Sango rolled her eyes as she flew down the court, at the last second she passed it to Kagura who jumped, springing herself to the basket ball net and dunking it in. When she landed on the ground again Sango ran to her.

"Hell yes! Dynamic duo back in town!" Sango put an arm around Kagura. Kagura laughed and nodded her head. Ayame was playing badminton with a few other girls as Kagome ran into the gym.

"Shit sorry guys! I couldn't open my locker!" Kagome laughed. Kagura and Sango waved her over as they were getting ready to start a new game with some girls.

--Populars--

"Dude….Sango's fucking fine." Miroku noted as Sango ran down the court with the ball. The girls gym strip contained a white sleeveless shirt with short black shorts. Sango was fairly tall which had an up side. Long legs.

"Miroku…shut up." Koga sighed and leaned back. The guys weren't doing gym today, the coach said that they didn't have to, so they could 'rest' up for their oncoming games. He looked over to see Ayame hitting the birdy. She laughed as another of her friends tried to scoop it up. He smiled as she jumped around her friends laughing and joking.

"Holy fuck! Look Kagura just dunked it!" Miroku pointed. Kagura ran with the ball, springing up and dunking it in. The girls hollered and wooted as she landed on her feet. Sesshomaru eyed her as she laughed with Sango. Kagura was taller then Sango, by an inch, she had long, well toned legs and a thin waist. She looked over with Sango when Kagome came in.

Kagome was a bit shorter then Sango. She was well toned but not athletically. She came running up to them, tying her hair back in a high pony tail. InuYasha stared at Kagome, looking her up and down. It was true, InuYasha didn't like Kagome, but he was a man, and any man could see Kagome was hot. She had a thin waist and well proportioned…well…chest. InuYasha leaned back on the bleachers as Kagome started playing.

"Holy…Kagome's good." Koga noted, all the guys turned and watched as Kagome ducked down, stealing the ball from one of the girls. The girls on the other team were getting frustrated when Kagome kept stealing the ball, one girl stuck out her foot at Kagome's stomach when Kagome ducked down and winded her. Kagome's eyeshot open as she came tumbling to the ground. She looked over to Sango and threw the ball.

"SCORE!" She ordered as she rolled. She stopped and held her stomach, looking up she saw Sango shoot. The ball ran around the rim before slowly going into the net. Their team cheered before running to Kagome. Kagura was already at the other girl's throat. She pushed her shoulder to the wall.

"What the fuck was that little stunt?" Kagura asked. She towered over the girl. The girl shook her head and put her hands up in defence.

"N-No! I didn't mean to do that!" The girl cowered. Kagura was about to punch her when Kagome yelled her name. Kagura looked back as she held the girls shoulder pinned to the wall.

"Kagura…leave it alone, no harm done, come on, another game, 'Kay?" Kagome smiled as Sango helped her stand up. She took a deep breath hand stretched her arm.

"Good as new!" She smiled, though anyone could tell she was hurting and very irritated at the girl. Kagura clicked her tongue and dropped the girl coming over to Kagome. Kagome smiled and waved her off as they started another game. As the game started, the girl had once again stuck her leg out for Kagura, angry that Kagura had threatened her, only this time Kagura had narrowed her eyes and jumped quickly, landing on the girl's leg she sprung herself up and shot the ball. The girl cried out in pain as Kagura lifted off her foot. Kagura landed a few feet away and looked back. Sango and Kagome came by her sides.

"Don't mess with me, bitch." She winked and picked up the ball going to the other side of the gym. The girl held her leg as her team-mates shook their heads at her.

"You shouldn't play dirty, Ayumi, that's no way to win, especially against Kagome, Kagura and Sango." One girl spoke. The girl, Ayumi glared and yelled at someone to help her up.

"Kagura, you shouldn't spring yourself up with so much force…" Kagome frowned, looking back at the limping girl. Kagura shrugged her shoulders as she passed the ball in between her hands.

"Bitch shouldn't be sticking her leg out, now should she?" She smirked. Sango laughed as Kagome rolled her eyes. They were walking before suddenly bumping into the Popular guys. Sango blinked before scowling at Miroku who was staring at her legs. Kagura dropped the ball as she saw Sesshomaru suddenly in front of her and Kagome crossed her arms, glaring at InuYasha who did the same.

"Uh…I'd like to say…this is the worst day of my life." Kagome nodded her head. Sango glared and scooted behind Kagura as Miroku took a step closer.

"We saw your game, you guys were good, how about a game against us?" Koga asked, coming from between Sesshomaru and InuYasha. Kagome broke her glare and looked to Koga.

"Uh…no thanks." Kagome said as she started turning away before Sango whipped out a hand and held her wrist.

"Kagome…how about it? We haven't had some fierce competition since back in third grade, how about it?" She asked. Sango's eyes were bright with determination as she asked Kagome. Sango never backed down from a challenge, and Kagome, as her best friend, wasn't about to make her lose that record. She sighed and nodded her head.

"Yeah fine…" She said as she took the ball from the ground and went to the center court. Sango jumped up and yelled 'yeah' as she went beside Kagome. Kagura shook her head before going on the other side and yelling for Ayame to come over. Ayame blinked before looking around and spotting her best friends. She smiled and excused herself from her badminton match. Skipping over to the group she smiled and stood a bit behind the group.

InuYasha stood in front of Kagome, both ducked down ready to jump, glaring each other down. Sesshomaru was across from Kagura and Miroku across from Sango, Koga had taken to Ayame's spot on his side.

"Ready boys?" Kagura smirked, looking behind her to Ayame who winked. She laughed and got a girl to come over who threw the ball into the air. Kagome and InuYasha jumped up. InuYasha shot the ball down before landing, smirking at his victory, only to see Kagome didn't even care. As soon as she landed she ducked in behind him and between Miroku and Koga. Sango ran and got the ball, dribbling it down she was blocked by Miroku. She looked over and saw Kagura running closer. She bounced passed it to her only to have Sesshomaru come out of no where and grabbed the ball. Kagura growled as she ran next to Sesshomaru, suddenly ducking in front and taking the ball from him. She turned and passed it to Ayame who ran down the court, side by side with Sango. She jumped up and shot the ball, making a basket. Kagome jumped up and cheered as Ayame landed down, turning and doing a peace sign. Sango laughed as Kagura clapped her hands.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, it's only one basket." InuYasha grunted. Kagome rolled her eyes as she walked past him, her finger on his chest.

"Alrighty, sore loser…" She smirked as she walked behind him and went to Ayame. InuYasha grunted as he watched the sway of Kagome's hips as she walked to her friends.

"I never knew you and Miroku were so much alike." Sesshomaru taunted beside his brother. InuYasha snapped his eyes away from Kagome and growled before walking away; just missing the fact that Sesshomaru was currently checking Kagura out.

The game went on for a while before the end. Both teams were exhausted, with only 5 minutes left before they had to go to their next class. Kagome panted and held her chest as she walked to the front. InuYasha was panting as well, sweat dripping from his face. She looked him in the eye.

The last basket was between the two. Kagome jumped up, taking the ball and shooting it down behind InuYasha, she ducked low and ran after it, thinking she was in the clear; she stood and took her shot. As it was coming to the rim, InuYasha came flying out from the right side and shut it back down. Kagome growled as InuYasha took the ball. He dribbled it down the center, Kagome trying to steal the ball beside him. The girls were cheering Kagome on loudly as they played. Miroku and Koga were hollering at InuYasha.

"InuYasha, if you don't get this, we're gonna beat the shit out of you!" Koga called from the sidelines. InuYasha rolled his eyes. Miroku was pumping his fists as Sesshomaru watched.

"Come on Kagome!" Sango yelled, as Kagome and InuYasha flew by her.

Kagome ran next to InuYasha before he shunned her with his shoulder, pulling back. Kagome was suddenly hit by his shoulder and fell to the ground, her body rolling violently as InuYasha had taken the shot. The ball went into the net. He looked back suddenly and saw Kagome holding her ankle and biting her lip, trying not to cry. The girls stood in shock as well as the guys.

InuYasha's eyes widened. He quickly ran to her, holding her back and a hand over her hands that were holding her ankle. Kagura, Sango and Ayame snapped out of their daze and ran to their best friend, trying to calm her as Kagome hyperventilated. She laid her head back on InuYasha's arm.

"Fucking shit, bitch, fuck, whore, skank, slut, shit, bitch! This is the worst day EVER!" Kagome wheezed out. InuYasha called the guys to come over. They all rushed over, checking to see if Kagome was alright. Miroku dashed to the coach who ran over, seeing Kagome holding her leg to herself and shutting her eyes closed, tears starting to form.

"Shit!" She cursed as she held her ankle. InuYasha held her bangs back, wiping away the sweat as she rocked her body into his. He felt bad. He hadn't meant to shoulder her, but it happened. Now, InuYasha was a jerk, yes, and a dick, yes, but he still didn't want to make a girl cry. She held her breath and slowly breathed out before calming down. Sango held her body in place as Ayame fanned her face, Kagura holding her ankle securely.

"Kagura do it! Do it now before I change my mind! Do it!" Kagome cried. Kagura looked to Sango and Ayame who frowned. The guys looked at each other in confusion as Kagome yelled for Kagura to do it. Kagura took a deep breath and took her ankle, twisting it back suddenly. Kagome let out an ear piercing scream before blacking out.

--A while later--

Kagome shifted gently she opened her eyes and shut them right away from the intruding light.

"Ow…" She shook her head as she got up, rubbing her eyes and sitting up.

"Kagome!" She heard three familiar voices yell. She snapped open her eyes and saw Kagura, Sango and Ayame leaning over her. She blinked and looked around, seeing the white room. She was in the school, nurse's office.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't know you were pain-intolerant though!" Kagura teased. She hugged Kagome tightly. Kagome laughed and hugged her back.

"Good thing my dad taught you how to fix a pained ankle!" Kagome smiled as she looked at her friends. They sat there talking for a while as Kagome started rotating her ankle, wincing slightly.

"So…guess who brought you here." Sango grinned. Kagome looked up at her and tilted her head.

"Who?"

"Pretty Boy InuYasha." Kagura said, smirking. Kagome blinked and sat up straight.

"Wait what?"

"Yeah, you could tell he felt bad about hurting you." Ayame said as she nodded her head. Kagome blinked.

"He…felt bad?" She tried to register in her mind. She shook her head and dispelled all her thoughts, changing the subject

"Guys, it's about time for 2nd period, I'll meet up with you at lunch, I'll be fine." Kagome smiled. They said bye, Kagura apologized for hurting her again as Kagome threw a pillow at her back.

"Later!" She smiled as her friends left.

"Wow…I really am weak…"She said as she thought about how she passed out. She shook her head and sighed as she leaned back. She put her hands behind her head and closed her eyes.

"He cared?" Kagome whispered, smiling slightly.

CLICK

She snapped her eyes opened and looked to the door. She frowned before shrugging her shoulders and shutting her eyes.

InuYasha scratched the back of his head as he shut the door as quietly as possible. He sighed and rolled his head, cracking out the kinks before walking down the hallway and to his class, after making sure Kagome was ok. He smirked, replaying the image of her smile as she found out he cared.
