A/N

Okay, I'm surprised I already got reviews. Thanks for the get well sons for my cat (though I forced you into it XD). So here's the next chapter!


Together Again

Chapter 7


"Konichiwa! I'm Son Kagome! Very nice to meet you!"

Kagome gave a respectful bow and was about to sit down when the Professor said, "Why not tell us a bit about yourself, Miss Son?"

Oh dear…

"Err, I live with my Aunt Suki, I enjoy martial Arts and…mythology!" Kagome nervously sat down, slightly flush. 'I hate talking to a crowd!'

"Alright then, let's all start our lesson. We'll pick up on where we left off on Friday at Functions and graphing..."

Kagome immediately tuned the professor out, instead channeling her energy into a doodle of Seshomaru whacking Inuyasha on the head, very common now that Naraku was destroyed. Class was boring, not unlike the few times she went to school back in Tokyo. Once the main competition for the jewel shards was eliminated, it was necessary to rush around looking for them first, allowing her ample time to study.

"So Videl, how's your training for the tournament going?" It was Erasa, the blonde to Gohan's right. She spoke barely under a whisper, just so Videl could hear her.

"Fine, I think I'd get second prize if it were today."

"Oh, fine? I swear I've seen you head to the mountains after school everyday. Are you sure it's you muscles your training, or is it your lips?" Erasa gave a small giggle and clamped her mouth shut as the professor turned to give her a look before continuing the lesson.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Erasa." Videl replied coolly, not let an ounce of emotion show in her tone.

"I think you do," Erasa mumbled to her, unaware that she had now gotten Gohan's attention as well.

"You and Gohan, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-" Videl leapt up, blushing furiously.

"NO WAY!! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!? I'm not-"

"Miss Satan!" Videl winced and turned to see her irate professor, right next to her desk. "You are to carry 20 pales for the remainder of the class time."

Videl left and Erasa stayed silent the rest of the class. She felt bad for her friend but she got the evidence she needed. She only had to hook them up now… She turned to look at Gohan only to find him frozen and glowing with embarrassment. "Heh, he…" Quickly, Erasa started taking notes again.


"What's next, Gohan?" Kagome asked as they walked out of the Math class. Videl passed by them quickly, having left her water pales back in the classroom and rushed off to her next class.

"PE we meet outside until the first of November." Gohan explained, blushing as Videl passed. After separating to go into the correct locker rooms, Kagome met up with Videl again. She had already changed into the sweat pants and loose top required.

"So, Videl…"She jumped at Kagome's sly voice. She turned to the other girl and fiddled with her hand behind her back.

"Don't feel pressed or anything," Kagome began slowly, pulling off her shirt and reaching for the gym shirt in her bag. "But do you have feelings for my brother?"

Videl's face slowly reddened and she was about to yell an angry response but Kagome said, seriously, "Calm down. I don't care if you do or not," That was a lie, she cared very much who her brother went out with. "But I wouldn't mind having you for a Sis in law, neither would Goten. Mom would be delighted, she's such a romantic!"

Videl deflated and smiled softly. "I really don't know. I kinda like him, but I'm not sure if it's THAT kind of like." Kagome nodded. She had recently gotten over that with Inuyasha a month or so ago, not that he got the hint.

The bell rang then, signaling it was timed to head out to he field. "Line up! Alphabetical as always!" The coach was surprisingly buff, Kagome notices, and his mustache wiggled when he talked.

After going through the roll call, Kagome assumed he merely acknowledged she was new and found no reason to fuss, teams were separated and volleyball nets set up.

Videl prepared to serve the ball, hitting it hard and over the net. No one tried to hit, except Kagome.

And hit it Kagome did. First she bumped it lightly, allowing another team member to catch it. However, the girl hadn't been expecting it and it bumped off her chest and higher into the air. Kagome took her chance with a hard cut shot. There was no way for the other team to stop it, leaving the ball to spring back up off the ground and high into the air.


"Good job, Kagome!" Gohan praised as they headed to the locker rooms, the bell ready to ring. "When I had my first PE class, I had no idea how much I should hold back. You kept your strength well hidden!"

"No I didn't. I probably shouldn't have hit the ball in the first place." Kagome sighed, "I hit it too hard I think, it should have been able to go 2 stories high after a rebound. Besides," She looked at her twin, smirking, "You can't control your ki very well at all, Go-chan!"

"D-don't call me chan!" Gohan stuttered weakly. They continued going class to class for the rest of the day, sometimes joined by Videl, other times not.

"Ah!" Kagome stretched her arms, hearing her shoulders crack, and pulled her bag on to her back.

"We're going to see Trunks, right? I haven't seen him since he was a baby! " But Gohan shook his head, "You have to teach me to control my ki, as I'm apparently lacking." Kagome groaned and pleaded innocent of ever saying such a thing. "Nope!" Gohan said cheerily, "This is your punishment!" Gohan turned to look away now, a serious look on his face, "I need to talk to you about some things. "

"Good or bad?"

"A bit of both. But I would prefer to tell you later, maybe after dinner."


"I'm surprised Videl didn't come by today!" Goten said, reaching for more rice. Kagome smiled and gave Gohan a sly glance. "I'm not at all surprised!"

Her twin blushed a bit, wondering how many times someone could get embarrassed in one day without having blood exploding from face.

"I can't wait 'till the tournament!" Kagome gushed, pitying Gohan and changing the subject.

"Oh! That reminds me," Gohan started, "Mom agreed that we can skip every other day of school in preparation for-" He stopped, and stood. "Get inside the house! I feel a strange ki-" But it was too late, and Kagome knew it.

She felt a cold arm wrapping around her and sharp nails, very much able to stab her skin, run across her sleeveless shoulder. It had to be a demon! "Kagome," it whispered in her ear…No, he…Seshomaru??

"Seshomaru!" Kagome tore herself out of the grip in shock. And there he was, Lord Seshomaru, ruler of the Western Lands, in his glowing white holy-ness. "How did you get through my barrier around the temple!?"

The youkai merely gave her a blank stare and said plainly, "I asked your grandfather to take it down, of course."


A/N:

Shorter, I know. But it's something. I think I'll update more often if I do simple 2.5 page updates (thinks oh! Hook line and sinker! Only to realize she has to update MORE OFTEN). Well, not much to say, I tried to get a bit actually done in this one. My main issue for a moment was that I forgot ChiChi said Gohan could skip school and train, so I improvised (loves that word). Also, I'd like to say, I have my mind so scattered, I confused Inuyasha with Naruto while typing once, I think that was the only time. Just know if I say Naruto in a IY/DBZ fanfic, I mean Inuyasha.
