CHAPTER 2

"I told you it's too early," Sango dragged Kagome outside before she enters the classroom but Kagome kept forcing herself to go in. "Look at the time. It's only 8.35am."

Why am I so eager to go to class? Kagome felt an urge inside her but could not figure out why she got the feeling. She stopped.

"Who's your subject teacher for the first period of lesson?"

"Mr Naraku. Why you ask?"

Kagome walked briskly to the Teachers' Staff Room and Sango tried to catch up with her. Kagome knocked on the door and asked for Mr Naraku.

A moment later, Mr Naraku came out of the Teachers' Staff Room.

"You are…"

"I'm Kagome, the transferred student. Miss Kaede asked me to find you."

"Oh, it's Kagome. Come with me to the "Staff Room". I've some things that you need to know. Sango, thank you for guiding Kagome. You may leave."

Sango left them and went to her class 2-A. When she opened the door, most of the students had arrived. She went to her sitting place. Shortly after, a lady with a sinuous, slender body entered the classroom.

"It's Kikyou."

"Good morning, Lady Kikyou."

"Hey! Princess Kikyou, nice clothes."

Her seductive eyes looked around, her chin lifted high as she walked to her seat. Soon after that, the rest of the students started to arrive.

"Mr Naraku is on his way," someone shouted. All of a sudden, all the students went back to their own seats. The classroom was so quiet that anyone could hear a pin drop.

"Class stand." Mr Naraku stepped into the classroom and walked to the middle of the classroom where his desk was situated. He signaled the class to sit.

"Today, we have a new student. She is a transferred student so I hope you would be nice to her." Mr Naraku announced. "Let's welcome Kagome."

Everyone clapped loudly, especially Sango.

In the meantime, in Fuuka Middle School, at Souta's class, 3-A

"Let's welcome Souta," the subject teacher announced and everyone clapped excitedly while Souta entered the classroom, and his lips curved upwards.

Back at Kagome's class

"Oh right. Let's see where you should sit." Mr Naraku scratched his head. "Yes. Kagome please sit at the empty seat beside Inuyasha."

"Teacher, why beside me? Why not beside the lecherous Miroku or the rough Sango? Inuyasha snarled.

"Mr Naraku…" Kagome began speaking when he interrupted.

"Never mind, Kagome."

"But…"

"This is an order from Mrs Kaede. So please obey."

"Alright."

Kagome walked to the seat beside Inuyasha and sat down. Inuyasha just turned his head away.

"Look Inuyasha. I'm just a new student." Kagome said but Inuyasha snorted in disbelief. "I'm terribly sorry and I have no idea why Mrs Kaede had made such an order. If I had a choice, I would rather sit with Sango than sit with you. Sango is my roommate and I'm happy if she sits next to me so please, I begged you, it's not my fault… I do not want it any more than you do."

"What would Kikyou think?" Inuyasha mumbled.

"Is Kikyou your girlfriend?"

"Yeah, sort of. I liked her but she does not like me."

"Oh…"

"I think it's better if we stopped talking to each other from now onwards."

"Do you think …" Kagome wanted to ask Inuyasha but he was turning his head away, avoiding her to meet his gaze.

Fine. If you want this to happen. Kagome thought and started to take down the notes Mr Naraku was writing on the blackboard.

The morning's classes passed uneventfully and no word came out of any of their mouth. In one of the periods, Kagome was drifted away with her thoughts.

What would Inuyasha think if I did not talk to him, Kagome thought. He will not care about it even if you did not talk to him. It was him who said it was better if you and him stopped talking to each other from now onwards, a voice in her head replied. Yeah. It was him who said it and I did not replied back, Kagome thought again and continue doing her work.

When lunchtime came, Kagome followed Sango to the school canteen with her sapphire-coloured lunchbox, which contained the food she made by herself. After buying her food, Sango and Kagome settled down.

"Why you did not buy canteen food?"

"It's too expensive."

They were eating happily when someone covered the overhead fluorescent's light, casting a shadow over them.

"May I sit here?" Sango and Kagome looked up.

"Excuse us for a moment," Sango replied and pulled Kagome to the other side of the table.

"Watch out for this guy. He's the school pervert," Kagome nodded her head as she was told to do so and Sango pulled Kagome back.

"Now you may join us," Sango said politely.

A tall boy with black hair tied back in a small ponytail sat next to Kagome. He greeted both Sango and Kagome before he started to consume his food.

"Who's he? You know him?" Kagome side-covered her mouth so the boy would not hear her.

"He…" Sango almost got choked.

"He's the lecherous Miroku," Sango continued.

"Why did you say that?"

Before Sango could answer Kagome's question, Sango noticed Miroku extending his hand to Kagome's buttock. Sango was boiled with rage that she stomped on Miroku's left foot hardly. Miroku withdrew his hand and turned his head away from the girls.

"Ouch." Miroku responded softly. "That damn Sango is going to get "it" from me."

"Because he's a pervert," Sango answered. Kagome's brow knit in confusion as she looked at Sango.

Miroku extended his foot and touched Sango's gently. Sango was red with fury that she stomped on Miroku's left foot again, but it was harder than before that Miroku cannot resist the pain.

"Ouch!" Miroku bellowed like a trumpet that everyone in the canteen was looking at them.

"What's wrong?" Kagome asked in curiously, and was looking at the angry Sango and the Miroku in pain.

"Nothing," Sango shot fire daggers at Miroku when Miroku looked at Sango, smiling. You think you can get away, Miroku thought and touched Sango. The feeling of the sole of a shoe makes Sango maddened with anger. In her anger, Sango stood up and slapped Miroku hardly that Miroku's face was left with a bright red mark of Sango's hand.

The afternoon lessons went by quickly. After their dismissal, Sango had to go for a school meeting so Kagome went back to the dormitory by herself.

Kagome took a 30 minutes walk to return her dormitory. When she reached her dormitory, Kagome unlocked the door to her dormitory. Kagome left her backpack on a chair. She walked to her bed and sat on it as she was overcome with fatigue. Soon, Kagome fell asleep, drifted away by a dream she was having…
