They were sitting at a table in the cafeteria. Kikyo and Sesshomaru sat at a different table.
" Hey, Sango, you've been here longer than I have. Is there anything about that Kikyo chick that you can tell me?" asked Kagome.
" Well, she's a slut. She always wears those skimpy clothes. Her boyfriend's Sesshomaru, who is Inuyasha's older brother. And she's a miko. You know what, though, Kagome? You and Kikyo kinda look alike." said Sango. " Why did you wanna know?"
" Just curious, that's all." Kagome lied. Then a tap on her shoulder brought Kagome to turn around, facing Kikyo.
" Can I help you with something?" asked Kagome smugly.
" As a matter of fact you can." Kikyo replied. She pointed her finger at Kagome.
" I don't like what you did to me last class!" she yelled.
" So?" replied Kagome carelessly.
" You had no right to do what you did!" she snapped.
" Well, skank, if you hadn't been staring at me, then that wouldn't have happened now would it?" bit Kagome. Kikyo got angry.
" That's it! See me after school in the parking lot! You'd better be there!" she yelled. She stomped off.
" OOOh.." whispered the table.
" You shouldn't have done that." said Sango.
" Why? So she could trample all over me? I don't think so!" said Kagome.
" No, because she's one of the best fighters in school!" said Miroku.
Kagome got worried.She mentally smacked herself. What had she gotten herself into now?
But she wasn't afraid. Oh, no way was she gonna chicken out. So school ended. Kagome, followed closely by her friends, walked in front of Kikyo. She pointed to a door.
" What? It's a door." said Kagome.
" You and I will go in there to do this, no one else. That way you can't cry or get help from anyone." said Kikyo. Inuyasha began to object, but Kagome hushed him.
" This is mine, understand?" she whispered.
He wanted to protest but realized, that wouldn't get him anywhere. He nodded and stood next to Sango and Miroku again. Then she and Kikyo proceeded into the door. It was the gym's basement.
" I hate to do this to someone as weak as you, but I'll have to kick your ass now." smirked Kikyo.
" Bring it on." smirked Kagome.
It was a pretty even fight. Kagome had nailed Kikyo in the mouth a few times, while Kikyo had landed a couple of good punches in the stomach. The girls were equally exhausted, but then, Kikyo pulled a really dirty trick. She pulled a piece of equipment out, and a whole pile of stuff came falling on Kagome. Kikyo smirked as she saw Kagome's angry eyes.
" I think that's enough for now. That'll teach you not to mess with Kikyo."
Kagome growled. " Cheater."
Kikyo opened the door, but just as she walked out, a ball came flying at the back of her head, and she stumbled. Kagome had gotten one arm free. She smirked. She eventually freed herself. Her leg was killing her. She had broken it. One of her wrists was numb, for it had bent in the wrong direction. Blood dribbled down her chin and onto her shirt. She limped out after Kikyo.
" That'll teach you not to mess with Kagome..." she grumbled. She began to faint, but Inuyasha ran up just in time to catch her. Sango and Miroku joined him. He picked her up. They walked to Kagome's house. The bell rang. Mrs. Higurashi came to the door. What she saw terrified her.
" Oh! What happened to her?" screamed Kagome's mom as she let them all in.
" We'll tell you later, right nowl, Kagome needs some help." said Inuyasha.
Kagome's mom welcomed them in and led them upstairs to Kagome's room. Inuyasha laid her down on the bed.
" Would you two come and help me gather the supplies?" asked
Mrs.Higurashi, looking at Sango and Miroku.
" Yes, ma'am." they replied.
They followed her out of the room. Inuyasha stayed behind with Kagome's unconscious body. He stared at her. She was moaning in her sleep.
" Mmm...oww..that hurts..mm." Kagome whispered.
Inuyasha chuckled silently at the girl's dream. Apparently, it was her fighting or something along that line. Then the others returned to the room.
" Guys? Could you like, step outside? We need to go undercover if you know what I mean." asked Sango.
" Uh...yeah. Yeah. Sure. Okay. Gotcha!" they stuttered, walking out the door. They sat downstairs in the living room, on the couch. Inuyasha stared into space, thinking about her. Kagome.
" Are you alright Inuyasha?" asked Miroku.
" No, not really. But then again, Kikyo is my brother's girlfriend. Next time she comes over, it's WWF smackdown at my place! Major beating, major payback time. Do you think she'll be okay?" said Inuyasha.
Miroku put his hand on Inuyasha's shoulder.
" If I know Kagome, I'm sure she'll be fine." he smiled.
Inuyasha looked at him with a thankful, yet a worried expression. Then, he heard footsteps and a door open. Inuyasha was upstairs in less than thirty seconds.
" How is she?" he asked. Miroku caught up with him.
" Well, she's got a broken wrist and leg. She has bruises and cuts all over her body. My poor baby. We'll have to take her to the doctor tomorrow. And I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up going to the hospital." said Mrs.Higurashi.
Inuyasha just realized something, something he'd been wondering.
" Uh, ma'am? You don't have to answer but, how can you forgive Kagome for what she did to you today at school?" he asked curiously.
" I'll answer. Kagome has smarted off to me and her father so many times, I...I just got tired of protesting and arguing. I've learned to forgive her for things like that. She's been through real tough times. All by herself, too. The only friend she's had is Sango ever since they were babies. After the incident with her father, she's been mute to me. She only talks to me if it's an emergency. It's kind of depressing once you think about it, but I still forgive her." she replied.
" I see. May we go in and see her now?" asked Miroku.
" Yes. Sango's in there now." she replied wearily.
" Ma'am, you really should get some rest. You've done a lot for us, now you need to go to bed." said Inuyasha.
" Well, I am tired. Take care of Kagome for me. Goodnight boys. Don't try anything sneaky now. I'm right next door." she grinned. The boys smiled jokingly.
" Yes, ma'am." they replied.
They walked in to find Sango sitting next to Kagome's bed. It was very late. About eleven o' clock.
" How is she, Sango?" the two asked.
" Mm? Oh. I'm really not sure. We'll just have to wait 'til she wakes up." Sango replied sadly.
Inuyasha's expression of worry became worse, not knowing if Kagome was going to be okay or not. He and Miroku pulled up two chairs and sat along side Sango.
The next day, Kagome went to the doctor and ended up coming out with a cast on her leg, crutches, and bandages on her face. It made Inuyasha cringe.
" How are you feeling Kagome?" he asked her when they reached the front of their school.
" Well, I guess better. It can't get much worse than this, you know it?" she asked.
" Yeah. Just stick by me today. I'll carry your things for you. And if Kikyo starts trouble, it's war!" he told her reassuringly.
" It's all gravy." She insisted. She had gotten her fair share. And as a matter of fact, Kikyo was a little rough looking that day as well. Seeing this made Kagome grin.
A/N: There was this one review that said that they wouldn't read my story anymore because I made Kikyo beat the crap outta Kagome. So, I changed it a little bit. Kikyo, we can assume, has a messed up jaw and busted lip, and a bump on the back of her head. But, think about it, the only reason Kags is so bad NOW is because she was under loads of sporting equipment. So, to that reviewer, I hope you like this version better if you read it again.
