Chapter 3: Gal Pals & Guy Pals

A few classes have passed which means it's time to have lunch. Kagome and Sango head outside to have theirs under a cherry blossom tree in the school's property. "So Kagome, how is it that you hate that guy that you met this morning?" Sango asks as she gives Kirara a piece of meat. Kagome takes a bite of her sushi, "Well I was just minding my own business coming to school until a motorcyclist crashed into the school's wall." She starts.

Sango nods. "Wow, I wonder if he's alright after crashing into that thing." She said with concern. Kagome sighs, "I went up to him to see if he was, but instead he blames me. He thinks I was the one who cause him to skid his bike and crash." Kagome explains what happened early on. "He blamed you?" Sango asks in shock but made sure it was a minimum. Kagome nods. Sango pets Kirara because she was in a frustrating mode. "All I can he has no right to blame, even though you had nothing to do with it." She adds in.

Kagome smiles, "I agree. However he was nothing more than an arrogant jerk. So I slapped him on the face and left him. I even warned not to mess with me." She smirks in triumph. Sango copies her expression. "All I can say, he deserved it." She nods as she strokes Kirara's back. "That's right, and he better watch out from now on." Kagome couldn't help but to grin like an idiot.

Meanwhile, somewhere else on the school groups, more like on the roof of the building, Inuyasha and Miroku chow down on what they brought to lunch. "So this girl slapped you in the face?" Miroku asks as he can somehow see the slap mark on Inuyasha's face. "Yeah. I have to admit that she can slap pretty hard." Inuyasha replies as he rubs it to reduce the pain. "I'll tell you this, but I can somehow sense something else from her but I can't put my finger on it." Inuyasha said in a thinking manner. Miroku pressed his hand on the mark. He sighs, "You're not going to like this buddy." He starts off as he pulls his hand back. "What is it?" Inuyasha looks up to him. "She's a priestess." Miroku admits to him. Inuyasha widens his eyes, "She's a priestess? But when I met her, she was identical to me." He disagrees to Miroku's theory. "Hate to break it to you, but she is. But for you're the only hanyou in the entire school. But then you meet this girl who is both a hanyou and a priestess. Now that's rare." Miroku holds his chin.

Inuyasha sighs, "To be honest, I didn't even sense such spiritual powers from her, just her hanyou powers." Inuyasha explains so far. "Then there's one more question to ask. What her background? Normally a hanyou were be born from bloodlines from human mother and a demon father or vise versa." Inuyasha explains the information of a hanyou's life. "But for that girl's parents are in a hazy state that is complicated to understand it completely." He finalizes his opinion.

Miroku nods back, "If we were to figure her background, you'd have to go to her place to check it out. Because I sense spiritual powers from that slap, it's my understanding that she lives in a shrine. So you have to be careful when going to one. I'm from another one from a few blocks away." Miroku gives his idea. Inuyasha agrees, "Yeah but we need to take my bike to your shop to get it fixed. Otherwise, my dad will kill me." Miroku smiles, "We might as well do that after school before your dad finds out why you came home late." Inuyasha waves his hand in a weak way. "It's a good thing that my dad is out of town for three days so I have nothing to worry about. My mother on the other hand isn't though. She's always asking for what I'm doing. But I know she'd do the same thing that my dad would've done." He shivers at the end. "Well she should know about personal boundaries. She as well not put her nose where it doesn't belong." Miroku suggests as he leans against the wall.

Inuyasha nods, "My point exactly. Not only her, but also my dad and older brother. We all know how curious we were when we were kids. We wanted to know as much as possible, despite how eager we wanted to." He agrees with Miroku. "Yeah but we were told that what we wanted to know would be too hard to understand it. Our brains weren't ready at the time." Miroku replies back casually. The bell rings to let the students know that lunch is over and resume school.

The girls gather their belongings and head to their assigned room for their next subject. Little did Kagome know, one of her ribbons that hold her head in a pigtail style falls off of her. The windy breeze flies it towards the top of the building and into Inuyasha's opened bag. "Might as well get going." Inuyasha said to him and closes the bag, unknowingly seeing the ribbon.

The girls enter the room and sit next to each other. "I hope this will be better for the afternoon." Kagome said to Sango with Kirara snuggling in her bag. "I agree."

Soon enough the boys enter the same room, but in the back door of the classroom. However their scents are a big giveaway to Kagome and Inuyasha, signaling that both of them are in the same class. 'Oh great he's here.' Kagome groans mentally, not making a scene to the rest of the class. Sango sees her from the corner of her eye, "Ignore it." She recommends to her calmly. Kagome looks back to her. "Easier said than done." She comments to her. Sango shrugs her shoulders and waits until the teacher begins the class.

In the middle of the period, Inuyasha is having a hard paying attention to the subject on the board, because of an intoxicating scent is taunting him. "You know she's the one." His demon conscious alerts him. No matter how hard he tries to ignore it, it keeps on teasing him. More like a temptation to focus on Kagome instead. Miroku can sense the conflict within Inuyasha. Earlier this afternoon, on their way to class, Inuyasha tells Miroku that there's a subconscious of his demon half and his human.

Miroku though it was a complete joke at first, but the scene in front proved him wrong. He turns his attention to Sango who is in front of him. He has a temptation of his own. While Inuyasha told him about his own secret, Miroku has more of a dirty little secret; groping a girl's butt. Inuyasha know right off the bat that Miroku was no good for his perverted habit.

Miroku can see his opportunity with his reach to grab Sango's butt without her realizing it. Just when he's about to make contact, Kirara pops of her bag and hisses at him. Miroku gasps, never knew that Sango has a cat to protect her from guys who would dare to do the wrong thing to her master.

After hearing Kirara hissing to a student, Sango turned around to see Miroku with a petrified expression. Sango glares at him and wrote something on a blank sheet of paper and handed to him.

Miroku comes back to earth and sees Sango passing a note to him. He takes it reluctantly, fearing for what she has in store for him. He opens it up and reads it in his mind,

"You and I are going to talk about this after school. If you don't show, my cat will track you down."

Soon enough Miroku gulps, knew he was right that he was going to be in trouble. And that warning is really getting the best of him. If he refuses to show, he'll be hunted down by her cat. 'I'm dead.' He said to himself with a fear expression. He should've down that in the first place.
