Something, Maybe

Chapter 2
**Kag Pov**
I woke up to the sound of a noise that wouldn't stop. I groaned. It was so irritating. I rolled over to the other side of the bed to where the sound was coming from. The clock was blinking 6:30. I pressed the sleep button and it finally became silent. The sun was streaming from my window blinding me as I got up from my bed.
I went into my bathroom and looked in the mirror. I sighed. I looked horrible. My hair was all over the place and looked nothing like it did yesterday. I splashed some warm water in my face to try and get some life in it. I put some simple eye shadow and pink blush, then put on some lip gloss. I looked back at the mirror again and my face looked a lot better.
I walked over to my closet and took out my uniform. I sighed knowing I couldn't change my look. I took off my teddy bear pajamas and put on my other clothing. Once I was dressed, I headed towards the stairs.
Instead of stepping into an pancake aroma, I walked into people scrambling. Gramps was just sitting there reading the newspaper, but Shouta and Mom were running around like chickens who had their heads cut off. Mom was over there in the kitchen dumping all the plates in the sink. Shouta was already by the front door with his backpack.
"Kagome! You're late!" Mom was yelling from across the room.
I flinched from the sound of her voice. "What do you mean? It's only like 6 something."
"Kagome, it's spring."
"So..."
"So it's really almost 7 something. You're late! You were supposed to set the clock an hour later." My mind suddenly flashed back to last night. I remembered that my mom said something about changing the time. I guess I didn't really pay attention. "And no I'm not driving you."
"But-"
"No buts! Go, Shouta is already ready. You guys have to run."
I protested, "But that will make us even later."
"I know so I suggest you better get moving."
I don't want to run. Maybe Gramps will help... "Gramps, can you drive us?"
Gramps didn't even look up from the newspaper. "No, Kagome. I'm busy."
Finally, I just ran to the front door and grabbed Shouta by the arm. We flew down the steps and rushed around the corner. "You know this is you're fault, right."
I called back to him, "Not now. Let's just get to school first." Now I was out of breath from even talking because we were running so fast.
Then I saw a guy appeared with the same school uniform as us. He was running even faster then us. I couldn't help the thought of him beating us. Now it was a race. I ran even faster gripping Shouta's arm even harder. Then I saw that the guy picked up his pace. I tried to go even faster, but it seemed like we were the same distance away as we were before. When he turned the corner, I saw him look at me. For a split second, him and I were staring straight at each other. I shook my head and turned the same corner. Now he wasn't in site anymore.
We finally reached the building and I slammed the doors open making a big sound. Ignoring the people that were now giving us the death stare, without talking Shouta and I separated to get into the class in time. I went straight to my class. When I reached the door, I quickly stopped. I fixed my hair from sticking up. I took a deep breath and walked in.
Right when I entered, the teacher said, "Kagome, you're late."
Damn it! I said with my nicest voice, "Look Mr. White. I know that this will be my third time, but have a heart. Do you think you could just let this one slide?" I glanced at the classroom. Everybody was minding their own business, except for the new guy who was smirking.
His face looked really mad but then instead of calming down it looked...scared. Like terrified. I didn't like the look in his eyes. It looked like I forced him for what he was about to say next, "Ye-yeah. Yo-your not late."
I just shrugged and turned around to head towards my seat. Right next to my empty seat was the new guy that was running this morning. It looks like he wasn't late. Great, the new guy beat me.
I dropped my bag beside me and placed my hand on my cheek. I was too tired for anything right now. I just waited for the boring day to start.
**Inu Pov**
I was almost late for school because of that stupid Rin that wouldn't drive me to school. Apparently she was late for a meeting, and I would just have to walk on my own. Fortunately they excused new people from being late. Right now I was in the office that I had been waiting in for what seemed like hours.
I saw the woman behind the office desk just typing away on the stupid computer. My patience was running low. I finally just walked over to the desk and slammed my fist to get her attention. I saw her flinch and look at me with a 'what do you want I have more important things to do than help you' stare.
I ignored it and demanded, "Please let me check in."
Her face didn't let go of the glare, "Right, well. Please give me the papers that you need."
I took out the papers that Rin gave me this morning. Instead of pulling out nice sheets of paper, I took out three crumpled pieces. I put them on the desk and tried to smooth it out with my palm. "Sorry, I kind of was in a rush this morning."
She snatched the wrinkled papers from my hands and scanned them. I already knew that she just wanted to go home, I could see it in her eyes. Believe me I know the feeling.
"Alright, Inuyasha Takahashi. Here is you're map and you're class schedule." I grabbed the papers from her hands and shoved them in my backpack. She sweetly smiled and said, "Have a good day." Even though she said that, it sounded like "I hope you have a bad day."
I ignored her tone and just walked out of the office not turning away.
I looked at the map and followed the route to the first class room. History. Great. As I was walking down the hallway everybody kept staring at me. All the girls were whispering and giggling and all the guys were turning away once they looked at me.
I rolled my eyes and kept walking.
Once I reached the door, I went straight in not caring about anyone else. I headed right for my seat and sat down. Like in the hallways, everybody kept glaring at me. "Inuyasha Takahashi, why don't you introduce yourself."
I let out a huge sigh before I stood up. I repeated, "I'm Inuyasha Takahashi." Everybody laughed a little and went back to whispering to their friends.
This is going to be a long day.
ooooooooooOooOOooOoooooooooo
The day was starting off as hell. The stupid teacher was just going on and on about our history. We were like doing a review on everything we had learned so far. I didn't even bother listening, since I already knew all about it.
The girl that was practically chasing me this morning was sitting right next to me. Kagome. She had her hand on her face and looked like she was day dreaming. I could see that drool was coming down her mouth.
When she came in late, the teacher was scared of her - as he should be. I saw the red in her eyes. It was like domination or something. Not surprised, it's just like he said. Something is changing in the atmosphere...
My thoughts were interrupted by the teacher slamming his history book on his table. "Now class what about Peal Harbor? Ayame."
I looked over at the girl over in the corner. She just shrugged and I heard the teacher speak again, "Eri?"
The girl from the front of the classroom said, "I'm sorry, I don't know."
"Does anyone know? Kagome?"
I trailed my eyes over to Kagome. She was talking to a girl that had a high pony tail who was sitting behind her. Then Kagome flinched and adjusted her body so that she was facing the teacher. "Mhhmm..."
"Pearl Harbor."
"Right, uh..."
Without even thinking I said, "December 7th, 1941."
The teacher sighed and said, "Thank you, Kagome." I heard giggling from the background.
"Anytime." I smiled knowing that I was irritating the teacher, good.
"Civil Rights Act," the teacher continued.
I automatically said, "1964. Um, I'm good with dates."
"Right, well, how good? John F. Kennedy Assassination."
I thought for a moment and said, "1963."
I waited as the teacher came up with another question. "Ulysses S. Grant"
"1868."
"Lincoln."
"1865."
"Martin Luther King."
"68"
"The Battle of Gettysburg."
"1863."
"Korean War."
"1950-1953." When I said that last answer, he was in arms length of me.
The teacher smiled that looked like the Grinch's, "Wrong! The war ended in 1952."
He started walking back, but I was sure I was right. I wanted to prove him wrong even if it was my first day. "Sir, it ended in 53. I'm sure of it."
He turned around with a challenging glare on his face. "Someone! Look it up." Suddenly I heard the sound of different coming from the cell phones.
Kagome was the one to look it up the fastest. I heard her say, "It was . . . 1953."
Everybody said "Oooooo," then started cheering. I smiled knowing I won and I saw the teacher looking annoyed. The cheering turned into clapping. I glanced back at Kagome and she too was smiling and clapping for me.
"Everybody work on your projects!" The teacher just went back to his desk and sat down in his chair not looking up from the ground. Nobody moved until he yelled, "Now!" Then everybody scrambled to go into groups. I was new so I didn't know where to go.
I sat up from my chair and walked over the teacher's desk. I didn't get a chance to say anything, when he suddenly stood up from his chair. "Inuyasha since you're new I'm going to let that slide. But next time if you disrespect me again, you will go straight to the principle." A picture of the lady from this morning entered my mind. "Since everybody already has a pair, I'm afraid that you will have to join one. How about..." He scanned the classroom, "How about Kouga and Kagome. I will look forward to seeing you're project."
The way he said that made it sound like it was a challenge.
Seriously, what's wrong with these stupid people. I walked over to the flirting Kouga and angry Kagome.
I grabbed a nearby chair and sat on it so that the back rest was in front of me. "Looks like I'll be joining you guys." They stopped their conversation to look at who just said that.
Kouga looked annoyed and pissed at me for interrupting his conversation with Kagome. Kagome looked straight into my eyes with wonder.
"Right, the new kid. I'm Kouga and this is-"
"I can introduce myself. I'm Kagome."
She held out her hand and I took it. "Inuyasha." For an instance, the world just stopped and we kept staring at each other. Then I felt a prick that went through me. I quickly took my hand away. Oh no. This isn't good. It's already starting...
"Are you okay?"
I studied my palm, "Yeah I'm fine."
Kouga broke the silence, "Okkkaaayy, well Kagome back to what we were talking about . . . how about this Saturday?"
Kagome said, "I already told you no!"
"C'mon, don't be like that."
"I said no!"
"You know you're my girl."
Who was this ass hat? "Look I don't want to do this more than you do, but try not to flirt it makes me gag."
Kouga didn't look away from Kagome, but I knew he was talking to me. "Yeah, well what are you going to do about it?"
My anger was about to burst. I took my fist and made sure it only missed Kouga by a centimeter. He thought it was a real punch and fell from his chair. I heard laughter from the background. Then the bell ringed and everybody shuffled to get to their next class.
I smiled at the embarrassed Kouga, then went back to my seat to pick up my bag. I took out the wrinkled map and class schedule, then headed out into the hallway. Teenagers were running, eating, talking...it was a hell hole. I took in a deep breath and tried to push past through the insanity ready to go to my next class.
ooooooooooOooOOooOoooooooooo
The final bell wrung which signaled lunch. I was so starving that it felt like my stomach was completely empty.
I headed towards my locker number which was 8. Also the number that was in the opposite direction of the cafeteria and at the end of the hallway. Lucky locker number 8.
Once I reached my locker, I sat down and let go of my bag. There were tiny lockers that were half the lockers I used to have at my old school. There was a top and bottom locker. And I was lucky enough to get the bottom one where I will have to sit or crouch down every time I have to use it. Plus, people with top lockers can push me down with their big feet.
I stared at the combination and tried to put in my password so that it would open. It took me three tries for me to figure out that it will never open. It wouldn't open! The locker is just trying to make me miss lunch! I kicked the locker in frustration.
"Need help."
I turned around and saw a monk towering over me with a huge grin on his face. "Sure. Maybe you can figure out how this fucking thing opens."
I moved over so he could try and open this monster up. "Don't worry everybody has trouble on their first day."
"No this school just hates me."
"Maybe..." I heard the sound of the locker opening. The door swung open to reveal an empty locker.
"Thanks," I mumbled. I put my bag in the locker and slammed the door.
I stood up and said, "Who are you?"
"Miroku. You might have heard people calling me the girl magnet."
I laughed a little, "No the only thing I heard about you is that you're a pervert."
"They're lying."
"Sure they are."
Ignoring the sarcastic in my voice, he asked, "Who are you?"
"Inuyasha the new guy."
"Oh yeah, I heard about you."
"You have?"
"Yeah word is your a half-breed."
"You got me. I'm guessing people are not used to half-breeds."
"Well no half-breed has ever come to our school before."
"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"
"Probably both. But I don't have a problem with it."
We reached the cafeteria and it looked like hell again. Humans and demons were scurrying around. It was so loud that my ears were twitching at the sound of it. It kind of hurt my ears.
Miroku and I walked over to the line and got our foods. "You can sit with us if you want."
"Um...us?"
"Yeah us, Sango and Kagome."
Kagome... I heard his voice echo through my head. You need to watch her. I guess I didn't have a choice. "Sure, why not."
"Great!"
We walked over to the table where Kagome and Sango were. Kagome stared at me and gave me a gentle smile and I swear my heart started pumping faster.
**Kag Pov**
The new guy was sitting across from me in between Sango and Miroku. They were hitting him with all kinds of questions and I'm sure he just wanted to get out of here. Poor guy.
As I looked over at him, I couldn't help this feeling that I've met him before. The long silver hair, the ears, and the fact that his name was Inuyasha. It felt like deja vu and I was frustrated that I didn't know.
I just ignored it so I wouldn't have to deal with it anymore. I looked around the room and saw Kouga sitting at a table with a bunch of demons. I glanced at Kouga who wasn't looking or talking to them and instead was staring at me.
He smiled when he saw me looking as well.
Kouga smiled and made a kiss in the air to me. Yuck! That was disgusting. He moving his index finger saying to come here. I knew this wouldn't be good, but I went over to his table anyway.
I put a hand on the table and said, "What do you want?"
He moved his head to the direction of my friends. "Why is that new guy hanging with you?"
"Because he can."
"Kagome, I don't like you hanging around him."
"Why are you jealous?" I asked already knowing the answer.
"No, especially since it's him."
"Why are you such a hater?"
"Cause he likes you."
When he said that it was surprising and I was happy. I tried to contain my blush, "No he doesn't"
"I see the way he is around you."
"It's not like that's a bad thing."
"But I don't want anything coming between us."
I was getting annoyed again. "Kouga, for the millionth time there is no us. Why don't you bother some other girl?"
"You know that you're my girl."
"You keep saying that, but it's just a lie. Kouga, can you please just leave me alone and stay out of my business?"
I just left the table fuming not wanting to here his protesting. I knew that talking to him was a bad idea. I sat back down at the table.
Miroku had a huge grin on his face with a red hand print on him.
I sighed, "Miroku did you do something bad?"
"I wouldn't call it bad..."
Sango punched his arm, "Of course it was bad! You touched my ass!"
I heard Inuyasha laughing from across the table, "You guys are too funny." It became silent as Inuyasha kept laughing hysterically. "Are they always like this?"
"Yes unfortunately. So you might want to re-think about hanging out with us."
"No you guys are great." When he said that, he was staring straight at me. I couldn't help but blush a little.
The rest of the lunch period, I just ate my lunch. Inuyasha kept glancing over at me. I bet he thought I wasn't noticing, but I was. Maybe Kouga was right that he did like me.
**Inu Pov**
After lunch, all of the classes were boring as hell. Before this high school, I was tutored because my dad thought that it wasn't a good idea to be around these kind of people. Well that was just who he was. The context he taught me was pretty rigor so I already knew everything that was going on in the classes. I didn't even have to study for the tests.
Finally, the last class of the day was gym. I met up with Miroku and he showed me where the gym was since he has the class as well.
When we walked in, everything smelled like sweat. The humans and demons were always moving. Most of them played sports like basketball or soccer, but I saw that the girls just talked to other girls.
The place was fucking huge. It was bigger than four basket ball courts. Plus, there was including outside too where the real football and track field was.
Some demons were fighting each other likereally fighting. No one seemed to notice. I guess it was like this all the time. I looked over at the bleachers and saw that the teachers didn't really care. They were just talking each other probably complaining to each other how they wish they didn't have to deal with us.
I saw Kagome and Sango across the gym talking to each other. They were already in their gym clothes. Miroku and I walked over to them.
"This place is pretty big."
"Yeah, well, a guy with a lot of money hooked this place up."
"Who's that?"
"Actually I think it's you're brother"
I looked back at Miroku with a confused look on my face. "Sesshomaru?"
"I guess. I don't know the name I just know that he has the same last name as you."
"Feh, whatever. So what do we do in this class.?"
"I don't know about you, but I'm supposed to stay in here. I think you're in track."
"So where do I go?"
"It's outside and you will probably have Mr. Hayame. Head over to those doors and you will find them."
"Thanks." I start heading towards the opposite direction and open the doors. When I opened them, everything was white and bright. Once it suddenly cleared I saw the track was right in front of me. A lot of boys were already gathered there and I saw the teacher talking to them.
I ran over to them and joined the crowd.
**Kag Pov**
After I put on my black shorts and t-shirt with the high school logo on it, I headed towards the archery area that was outside.
Some girls were already at their targets, so I took the one at the far end.
Whenever I did archery, it felt like it was something that I belonged to and nothing could take it away. I loved the feeling when the bow and arrow were in my hand. It felt right and I loved it.
I placed myself so that I was in the right position in front of the target. I picked up my bow and one arrow then pulled my right arm back and put my hand against my face. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath then opened them. I looked straight at the center of the target and released not moving a muscle when it did.
I dropped my arrow and smiled when I saw that I had hit the bullseye.
I picked up the second arrow and pulled my right arm back again. Once again, I closed my eyes and breathed in. But something felt different. I felt a sort of aura flowing through me that I haven't felt before. It felt like a power waiting to get out of my body. When I opened my eyes, I released the arrow. The arrow was so fast that it burned before it could hit the bullseye. Then the ashes fell to the ground.
What the hell? I looked around to see if anyone noticed. None of the other girls at my station noticed. I looked at the track field and saw Inuyasha resting on the bench, but he was staring at me.
He didn't have a surprise look on his face, but a worried one. Was he watching this whole time...
The sound of ringing bells cut my thoughts off. I saw Inuyasha quickly go back inside the gym without glancing at me again.
ooooooooooOooOOooOoooooooooo
"Sango, Miroku, I can't."
That didn't stop Sango from whining. "You promised that you were going to walk with us today."
"Yeah, Kagome, don't be a buzz kill, "Miroku added.
"I'm sorry guys I thought my mom would drive Shouta home."
"Are you sure that your mom can't do it?" Sango questioned.
"No, she called me today and said that she was running late and couldn't make it. Sorry guys, tomorrow okay?"
"Fine. Let's go Miroku."
Then I saw Shouta coming out of the building walking towards me. When he reached me I said, "Ready to go?"
"Yep!" Glad he was having a good day.
My mind was somewhere else. I couldn't get my mind off of that weird tingly feeling that I had at gym. It was like an amazing power. It burned the arrow right into ashes. And I'm not the only one who saw that. Inuyasha did. He was staring at me, I felt it.
Does he have something...
"Hey Kagome."
I looked at my left and saw a black limo with the window down revealing Inuyasha. "What are you doing?"
"Cool a limo! Kagome, can I have one?"
"No Shouta you can't."
I turned back to Inuyasha who right beside me. "Do you need a ride?"
"No-"
"Yes!" I was interrupted by my excited brother. The black door swung open and my brother quickly went in not risking any chances. "Come on, sis. You can sit next to me."
I sighed knowing I wouldn't get Shouta out of the cry without prying him. Also, like my brother I was kind of excited to be riding in a limo.
"Where do you live?"
"Um-"
"Lincoln St!" Shouta said cutting me off again.
Inuyasha looked in the mirror and said to the driver, "To Lincoln St." Then we drove off leaving the high school behind.
During the whole ride there, I didn't say a thing. Shouta was too excited to not stop talking. He was asking Inuyasha all different questions. It was like Shouta was the detective and Inuyasha was the suspect.
When we finally reached my house, I immediately got out wanting nothing more than to take a warm shower in my own home. When I got out, I turned around and saw Shouta was still where he was.
I sighed, "Shouta, we're home."
"But I don't want to leave."
"Please come out."
"No I don't wanna."
Does he really like this car that much? I'm gonna have to do this, aren't I. Looks like we have to do this the hard way. I dropped my bag and grabbed him by the arm while pushing my feet on the car.
I pulled even harder and finally he came flying to me. It also made me fall to the ground.
"Now, let's go."
"Don't worry, kid, you can have another ride some other time."
"Really?" Shouta's eyes were burning with hope.
"Yeah, no problem."
Shouta smiled and walked towards the house.
I stood up and brushed the dust off of my clothes. "I'm sorry about that."
I heard Inuyasha laughing, "It's okay."
"Well you do realize that he's never going to leave again."
"Oh well, he's a good kid."
"It may look like that, but remember I'm the one that lives with him."
He laughed, "See you tomorrow, Kagome."
Warmth spread through my face when he said my name. "Yeah, see you." Then the black limo sped away. I watched it until I couldn't see it anymore.
**Inu Pov**
When I entered the house, I plopped myself onto the couch. I was so tired from today. But my first day is done.
"So how was you're first day?"
I looked down from the ceiling and saw Sesshomaru coming down from the stairs.
"Fine."
"How was she? Did anything happen?"
The thought of the arrow burning flashed through my mind. Ignoring it, I said, "No, nothing out of the ordinary happened."
"You did take her home like he said, right?"
"Of course."
"Good."
Okay, here is chapter two! I hoped you enjoyed this.
