Just to explain the end of the last chapter. When Kagome tackled Kikyo she broke her arm, leg, and a few fingers and accidentally sent her to the hospital... yet she didn't regret of feel the least bit guilt about it. So now she's in trouble in her gym teacher's office...besides you all know Kinky ho had it comin'.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha...yet (:sees angry producers:) I was just kidding guys! Really! (:angry producers start chasing me:)

Chapter 6:Blackmail or Jail

"You wanted to see me?" Kagome asked coming into an office.

"Yes, come sit down" Keade said motioning to the chairs infront of her desk. Kagome felt really nervous with the silence throughout the office. It was like being in a mob boss's room waiting for your punishment! (Yes, this is the best I can come up with) Finally not being able to take the silence she cracked.

"Look of this is about Kikyo then I said it was an accident ! How was I suppose to know she couldn't stand a half demon's tackle. If that was the case she should have been on the humans's side, right? It's your fault if she was hurt!" Kagome said in her own defense.

"You're absolutely right" Keade said nodding her head.

"I am?"

"Yes. We should be able to find out who belongs in each class with our own eyes to tell who should be in what group. That way we won't have any incidents like this anymore. You're going to be the first one to try this new curriculum."

"What?" Kagome burst out.

"You heard me. If you don't do it then I'll have you for the rest of this summer training with me. So you can either try this new unit and then join my martial arts or we can train during the summer... when in the hot scorching sun instead of cooling off under your air conditioning or at the beach. Do you really want to give up that? I mean it's usually a demon's dream to be in a sport where you're allowed to fight someone So why not do my new test and join the Martial Arts tournament so you can keep your summer?"

"Whatever! Incase you have forgotten I have the element of fire under my control. What's a little heat gonna do to me? I 've seen worst" Kagome said brushing her off.

"You're right...so I should tell you Kikyo's lawyer is threatening to press charges. And unlike everyone else I know about you Kagome. That's the reason you're here right? A convicted arsonist on parol. One more slip up and it's off to boarding school...luckily, the tournament is considered a community service for some reason. It might help clear your record..." Keade said letting those thoughts hang in the air.

"This is blackmail!"

"No it's not. I'm giving you a choice. One or the other. It's up to you, I'm not going to force you. I just thought you might want to learn more about your powers. You seem to love them so much but yet you do not even know the priestess side that I see in you. Please...now I'm asking you. Allow me to teach you"

"Fine...you win...I'll do it..." she grumbled slouching in her chair.

"Good! Meet me after school for practice. I'll write you a pass to your next class"

Kagome walked through the halls with a scowl carved on her face. Anyone who tried to talk to her had their stuff instantly char coaled. And all of them were the boys who couldn't take a hint. So everyone who actually had a brain stood out of her way. She arrived into History late, still clutching Keade's pass.

"Miss Higurashi. So nice of you to join" the teacher said.

"Yeah well if I had a choice there's a lot more I could be doing right now." Kagome mumbled walking to her desk. Once again getting some whistles, but she chose to ignore them, which instantly worried her friends who were watching the whole thing.

Miroku's P.O.V

Something is seriously wrong with Kagome! She is really not herself. Sh totally let those guys whistle at her and she took it! What's wrong with her? This is not the Kagome I know.

Inu's P.O.V

I wonder what's wrong with Kagome. Her scent's got depression and anger mixed in it. Something's wrong...very wrong.

Sango P.O.V

Kagome's acting strange. I wonder what's wrong.

Later

"Hey Kagome. What did the teacher say?" Sango asked with concern.

"Hmmm...oh, yeah... she's making me do some martial arts thingy and now I have to do like some fighting test she invented, so she can sort everyone into either of those group you were talking about" Kagome said gloomily.

"THAT'S GREAT!" Sango screamed attracting everyone's attention.

"No it's not great. Didn't you hear, she's blackmailing me to do it"

"It's not that...my parents say I have to do an after school activity or else they'll take my ax away. That's my pride and joy! I can't be separated from me!"

"Oh...so you want to come with me?" she asked confused.

"Yupper"she said beaming. But it quickly faded away as they saw the last person they wanted to see. Naraku...

"Hello, I don't believe we've met. My name is Naraku"

"Go away. We don't talk to preppie bastards like you" Miroku said stepping infront of them.

"So why don't you go back to the hole you crawled out of" inuyasha said coming behind him.

"I think that she can speak for herself, thank you" Naraku sneered at them.Kagome was sitting back watching this with an annoyed look on her face. Finally she couldn't take it and spoke up.

"Yes I, can and I'd appreciate if you would all leave me alone! I'm not in the mood to talk to any of you now. So get the hell away from me!" she yelled walking away. Inuyasha glared at Naraku and then ran after Kagome.

"Kagome! Wait up!" Inuyasha called out in the field.

"No! I said leave me alone!" she yelled not bothering to turn around. All of the sudden she came crashing into something very hard and it caught her by the shoulders. As she looked up she saw intense golden eyes boring into her. She nearly melted into his gaze, but quickly pulled away.

"Hey! Didn't you hear me! Quit following me!" she said breaking out of his grasp.

"Fine wench! I just came to see if you were alright. Next time I'll know not to come and ask if you want to talk" he yelled walking away.

"Wait! Inuyasha...I'm sorry...I'm just not feeling too happy right"

"Well I'm a good listener. If you want to talk about it... I'm right here for you" he said, with a hopeful look in his eyes. Such a look could never be refused.

"Fine...but this is never...and I mean never to be brought up again" she said stressing every word.

"Okay I get it" he said getting pale in the face. Then Kagome's shoulders slumped.

" As you already know I have been forced to stay here with my cousin. But there's a reason...I have a criminal record of numerous things. The biggest being convicted for arson"

"Really?"

"Yeah. One more screw and I might be locked up for around two months to two years"

"But why? What did you do?"

"An asshole decided to cheat on me and I totally lost control of my demon side. The next thing I knew I was behind bars for making a forest fire that happened totally on accident."

"And so you're here on parol I presume"

"Yes. But it gets worst, if I don't do this martial arts tournament, the gym teacher said Kikyo could press charges for the little "incident"today. And that's not good for me now is it? That old bat said if I do the tournament, it'll somehow clear my record"

"Wow..." was all he could muster as he processed all of it.

"Shocking, I know" she said dripping with sarcasm.

"You know I pity that guy you broke up with"

"Why?" she asked.

"He doesn't know what he's missing out on"

"Thanks...it's real crazy, you know...we've only known eachother for less than seven hours and I think I'm already falling in lo...I mean I think I'm already getting use to your annoying behavior. And that's a good accomplishment so far"

"Yeah well the same goes for you. Let's get going. It's almost the most exciting part of the day" he said in a bored and sarcastic tone.

"Oh? And what would that be?"

"Lunch..." he mumbled.

So how did you like it? Never thought that Kagome went to jail before huh? And sadly for all of you readers there is more Naraku to come . What will lunch time result in for our favorite "rising" couple?
