The rest of Kagome's day was… how do you say? Boring. Full of nothing but school crap. Riley had classes so he couldn't entertain her, and Sango was irritated by her so really, she was no fun at all. She resorted to hanging out with her other friends. Her closest of them being Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka. She was fine being in their presence at school, as they were cool girls, but a lot to handle in large doses.
What was really bothering her though was something she just couldn't shake. She wanted to know why Inuyasha had been so weird in chemistry. Really, it hadn't been all that uncommon she supposed. But there was no physical violence! That could count as strange. And also there was no mention of the previous night between the two of them. He hadn't just up and forgot had he?
No possible way. He just didn't want to talk about it… or something. But that really took a toll on her nerves, because she did want to talk about it. More than anything actually. The thought of another person other than her being different intrigued Kagome. When she had met Koga she had studied him up and down, curiosity peeked by which means he went through to control his ability and what were the causing of any sort of relapse that would hinder him on account of them. So on and so forth. Any sort of mechanics she could study that could somehow bring her closer to gaining knowledge of how she could deepen her own control of her abilities.
She was willing to put aside any kind of hate she had for Inuyasha for a few minutes if he would just tell her what his abilities were all about. Of course he wouldn't be as willing to share the deepest depths of his most cared for secret with her. Damn these stupid human relationships.
As she was walking with her three friends to the place they would normally sit to eat lunch, she noticed Sango and Hiten already there, chatting merrily away while eating whatever the hell it was that they were serving today. She sat down, making sure she was facing Hiten directly, and not Sango.
As she chatted along with the boy, her mind settled on the prospect of how Hiten was really attractive. He was also rather adorable as he sat there laughing heartily away at Sango about God knows what. She really respected that boy, and was very happy that he had become so close with her these passed couple of years. She drifted out of her thoughts as she noted someone coming toward them. She looked up, only to see soaked white hair, and a stunningly perfect physique.
Inuyasha had his shirt off. And he was sopping wet… okay. Why?
"Hey dude," Inuyasha said as he did this weird handshake 'pound it' thing with Hiten. She assumed that was a boy thing that girls weren't supposed to learn how to do efficiently.
She looked at Hiten with wide eyes, wondering why the hell her friend dare talk to the bastard in front of them. What was even more irritating, Inuyasha wasn't even noticing her presence. Did she not exist to him anymore or something?
"Sup man?" Hiten replied casually while taking another bite of his sandwich.
"Weren't you gonna come swimming with us today? You said you didn't have anything to do during lunch."
Didn't have anything to do? Okay, I'm sorry, but that was not okay with Kagome. What was she? Chopped fucking liver? She was just in a conversation with Hiten, if he dare blow her off for this—
"Yea bro, I'll be there in a minute. Just lemme finish my sandwich," he attempted to say through the bite of food making its way down his throat.
Kagome looked dangerously, slowly, menacingly up at Inuyasha. Who, though he wasn't looking at her, had this… smirk on his face. Whether or not it was directed toward her was debatable, though she would have given her life on a bet that it was. Really, he didn't do anything wrong, just asking for his friend to go swimming, she supposed, it was just that… she knew that he was doing it just to get under her skin. Just so he could prove to her that her friends weren't as loyal to her petty antics of distaste toward him as she would have liked them to be.
Fine. Let him go.
She stood up angrily from the table, becoming eyelevel with Inuyasha from the other side as she did so. They made eye contact, and she communicated her hate for him with her glare. "Jeeze, what's wrong with you? Something especially large stuck in your ass today? That glare you're giving me could kill Satan."
"Yes, well, your presence really does bring out the worst in me. So if you don't like it, why don't you leave and make everyone's life a little bit happier?" The edge in her voice was rather apparent. Her glower deepened as she leaned in closer to him. Becoming all the more ominous by the second. Honestly, he had no desire whatsoever to deal with the fury his existence brought out in her.
But more than that, he wanted to win.
He knew what she thought. She assumed that since he now knew she figured out that he was different, he would treat her differently, suck up to her or something. But no. That was never ever in a million fucking years going to happen. She thought she had the advantage? He would show her what an advantage was all about.
She starred at him, fury rising, as she watched him contemplate his next move. He knew it would be the most prudent decision to walk away in the heat of battle with his balls still in tact, but you know, he was Inuyasha, when did he ever make the smart decision? So instead, he sat down.
"You know, Kagome, I seem to be sitting and you seem to be standing. It would be such a complete bother for me to waist so much extra effort, when you could just walk away right now with your tail between your legs." He put his elbows on the table and let his chin rest in his hands as he looked, seemingly innocent, up at the furious girl with a smile.
She kept quiet, wondering if any of her friends would say anything on her behalf, though she knew they most likely wouldn't. They had learned long ago not to get in the middle of the squabbles between the two violent teens. They got gotten hurt many a time being careless that way. Kagome's assumptions were proven correct as her friends quietly sat there with their heads down, bangs covering their eyes, eating their sandwiches.
She looked over at Sango. Surely she would say something, would she not?
"Hey, Inuyasha," Sango started after popping the last bit of her meal into her mouth.
"Here it comes," thought Kagome rather excitedly at the fact Sango must not have been as perturbed with her as her previous hypothesis inclined. If Sango was willing to yell at Inuyasha, then she must not have been all that mad right? It wasn't that Kagome needed her friends to stand up for her per se; more that she just liked to know just where their loyalties lie…
"…were you and Miroku still planning to go to that club on Friday? Cuz if so you know I need to go too, I can't let him go anywhere without me if anything with legs and a vagina will be present."
…and apparently Sango's loyalties were not with her! Fine. Sango's point was proven. She was trying to teach her some sort of lesson, which she would ponder later. But for now, "You know, Inuyasha, you really are the biggest ass."
And with that she picked up her bag and stomped off in the direction of her next class, tail hopefully not too between her legs.
Kagome put her books in her locker, the ones that weren't needed for her next class, that is. The clanking sound of her books on the metal door made an echoing sound throughout the halls, her being the only one present at that time. Any other students and teachers were most likely still enjoying the remaining ten minutes to their lunch period.
She was rather enjoying the silence, that is until she heard the thud of feet hitting the ground in a speed whose sound resembled a slight jog. She looked in the direction of the oncoming person; her countenance turned into a scowl as she faced her attention back to task at hand. It wasn't so much the fact that this person was ruining her sacred quiet that irritated her, but just… the person.
Inuyasha.
Why the hell did he feel the need to follow her after she had let her pride crumble to the ground by just walking away? And why did he still have to be rather shirtless, and rather wet, running toward her? It should really be against the law to have such a pretty enemy. And again we say curse these human emotions.
"Why is that you feel the need to be a stupid fucking bastard and follow me after I—"
Her sentence was cut short as she turned to face the boy who, rather intentionally it seemed, didn't stop as got close to her. Instead he continued to run at her with full force, punching her in the stomach with a swift movement of his hand. She dropped all of her things and fell to the ground. "What the fuck?" was the only thing running through head just then as a small trickle of blood made its way down the side of her cheek.
"You have no fucking idea how much I have wanted to do that this whole day," he said to the ceiling as he shook out his hand in front of him. He turned his attention to Kagome as he smirked at the pitiful state she was in. She was in the fetal position at his feet, coughing up blood from the immense force of the punch to her abdomen. She thought she had the advantage now? All this means is that he'll hit her twice as hard, because he now knows she can take it. She's not some frail little human girl who could break in half if he used the full extent of his strength on her. He understood that now. She thought she'd had him all figured out? "Well, little girl, you haven't seen nothin' yet."
"That was for yesterday, you bitch."
"Y—you…" she shakily attempted. Getting on her hands and knees, spitting out the last of the blood that had accumulated nicely in her mouth. She stood up in a slow manner, making sure not to falter, as she didn't want Inuyasha to notice how much pain she was actually in. She wiped the remaining blood from her face, "So this is his real strength? He was holding back on me all of the other times we've fought… he was afraid he'd actually hurt me. How ironic, I was afraid I was going to hurt him as well."
Inuyasha looked at her stone cold face, noting how she was making an extra effort not to show any signs of pain or accountable weakness. "Yea right. As if that doesn't hurt like a son of bitch."
"So this is how you want it, Inuyasha? No holding back?"
They had this uncanny ability to communicate things through their eyes, "Damn straight. Now do it!"
"Fine!" She cried as she swallowed her pain and, with her ribs on fire, attempted a roundhouse kick to the side of his face.
She turned her body around, gaining force for her leg as it spun with her and gained height all at once. It was but an inch away from the target's head when she thought all victory was hers. He would be unconscious for days.
That is, he would have, had not encircled his wrist around her ankle before it made contact. He had seriously stopped her attack like it was nothing? No fucking way! Not only had he proven her wrong as he unflinchingly stopped her efforts to kick him, but he tightened his grip preparing for his next move.
"Shit." He could do anything to her right now. He could snap her leg in half, he could twist her ankle clear off, he could… well let's just say not good things are going to happen.
He had chosen none of the pre assumed actions. It was all very fast. He lifted her up off the ground by her ankle, and threw her, over his head, down the hall behind him, a good ten feet. Once he had broken contact with her ankle, he didn't bother looking back as he started down the hall in the other direction, she wouldn't wake up for awhile once she hit the ground. He smiled and laughed quietly too himself, "How much more fun it is for me not having to worry about her frailty."
As Kagome sailed through the air her mind was working a million miles and hour to find a solution to her current predicament. If she hit the ground going at this speed and from this height, she was going to end up very, very not awake.
Given her state of imminent danger, her ability reacted off its own accord once again. Her hands came together to form the power serge through her, and, as her hands hit the ground before the rest of her, they manipulated the ground to form around her as she hit it with full force. It quickly melted around her as if it were clay, then retook its solid, flat form, pushing her up slightly above ground level. Picture a bungee effect; what one's body does when falling flat onto a trampoline, and the effects of being pushed back up once hitting it.
She landed onto her feet, and without a moment's hesitation, turned around and ran at Inuyasha with full vigor. Walking down the hall, it took him a millisecond to register that Kagome was running at him. How the hell she managed to break her fall without severely injuring some part of her body was beyond him, but she was most certainly coming at him fast.
He turned around just in time see her fist make a rather amazing connection to his cheek, causing him to fly about ten feet in the opposite direction he previously threw her. It was her turn to shake out her hand, "And you have no idea how much I've wanted to do that this whole day."
She heard the bell ring, and almost immediately people started pouring into the building. She silently thanked her Lord in heaven that it hadn't rung even a minute before, or her classmates would have seen her ability act of its own accord once again. This was the second day in a row she was in danger of that; she couldn't keep getting into these heated fights with him. Though she had to admit, it felt so good to be able to let loose on him; now that he knew she was different as well it didn't matter if she showed him just how abnormal her strength was.
The crowds of people surrounded her, and she couldn't help but wonder if Inuyasha was going to pop out from behind one of them and give her a blow to the head as payback. She became a little paranoid as she saw that he was, in fact, walking toward her, looking as though Satan himself had just spit on his brand new shoes. A very, very pissed boy was he.
His cheek his already starting to bruise a considerable amount, as was the back of his head freely bleeding; it was quite noticeable through the mounds of silver hair. When he reached her, instead of trying to make any sort of physical attack, he backed her up against the wall of lockers, his forearm against her neck to keep her place. The clanking sound of her back hitting the rattly metal caused many students to turn and look at the two, ready for fight to continue. "You know, Kagome, I am really get getting sick fucking tired of your bullshit."
She smiled, "Aw really? Was I the only one having the time of my life?" Grin still plastered across her face, she put her hands on his shoulders and forced their positions to be reversed. He was now up against the lockers, and a little lightheaded from the force of impact. She clasped her hands together, or at least that is what it looked like from the bystander's point of view, "But this is what I've been looking forward to all a long."
She placed her hands on the lockers on either side of his head, using her ability to maneuver a piece of the metal out to thrust against his neck, causing pain on a pressure point and the shooting of his head forward. She then made it slink back into its original place, as if it had never happened.
None of the people around could see what she had done, but the feel of the pain, and the wink Kagome allowed him communicated everything. His anger flared. How dare she! What the hell was she thinking?
His eyes burned with resentment as the seething boy grabbed her shoulders and forced her back; she lost her balance after she stumbled back a few steps and slid onto the floor of an empty classroom that was located directly parallel to them, in between the break of the lockers. He pushed aside all of the people in his way as if their very existence was nothing but a hindrance to him and slammed the door so hard, Kagome could have sworn the whole room shook.
She stood up and wondered what he was thinking. Would he try and attack her? Would he attack with his own ability? She silently hoped it… then mentally noted what an odd thing that was to wish for.
She took a step toward him and opened her mouth to speak, though she could never have hoped to get anything out.
"Sit the fuck down!"
"Yes sir," she thought with eyes enlarged and mouth slightly agape, taking the nearest seat.
