Chapter 8: Ba-da bing, ba-da BOOM!
Monday's aren't exactly the most appreciated day of the week. In fact, it's the worst day of the week because you have to go back to school or work. That is of course considering that you don't like school or work but this Monday was different. Inuyasha had everything planned out, with the help of many friends, he was going to scare Kagome so bad. By the end of the day she would go home crying to her mommy. Or at least that's what Inuyasha hoped for. Despite his friendly and nice conversation online with Kagome, he had a reputation to uphold. There was no way something that occurred within 10 or so minutes could possibly change his mind. He was ready to go, pumped and ready to bring upon a day of disaster.
Monday. "Argh!" Kagome groaned. Her weekend just flew right out the window and now she had to get back to school. No doubt that Inuyasha would get his revenge on her today as well so she'd better be extra prepared. She got up, changed into her uniform and brought an extra set just in case, ran downstairs, had a quick breakfast and ran out to catch the bus.
"Hey Kagome. You look really tired." Sango exclaimed when she saw Kagome board the bus.
"Yeah, I didn't sleep too well last night." Kagome replied.
"You know that there's a rumour that Inuyasha is going to pull his revenge today."
"Yeah. What fun huh?"
"It can't be that bad. He's not allowed to kill you or anything."
"That's very reassuring Sango."
Sango laughed. "I'm sure it won't be something horribly bad."
Inuyasha got to school early. He planted everything that he needed to do and waited outside for his plans to follow through.
"So anyways, Rin told me that on Friday, that guy umm what's his name? Hojo went over to Yura's house when she was sick and gave her cough syrup for her cough.You know, flowers would be a much better gift to a girl. Really. What makes a guy give a girl cough syrup?" Sango said as they both walked down the hall towards Kagome's locker to collect their English books.
"Wow. I would sure feel sorry for his girlfriend. I'd just stick to chocolates, they seem to always work." Kagome replied and opened her locker but there was something white in there that she'd never seen before. "What's this?" Kagome spoke out loud and took out the white envelope.
"Ooooooh, Kagome look it's a love note from a secret admirer! Open it up!" Sango exclaimed over her shoulder.
"Alright." And Kagome opened up to envelope but just as she did, a foul smell reached her nose. Kagome and Sango instantly covered their nose. "It's coming from the envelope!" Kagome cried.
"There's a note inside." Sango said. Kagome opened the letter more to only have the smell of rotten eggs grow stronger before pulling out a package and a note.
This is how bad you reek! Take a bath sometime!
The package was a stink bomb. No doubt from Inuyasha. By this time, the whole hallway was reeking of the unpleasant smell. The hallway evacuated extremely quickly as soon as the odour spread. Kagome took out some body spray she kept in her locker and began to heavily spray herself and Sango. Now hopefully they smelled more like Morning Mist than rotten eggs. Kagome threw the envelope into the garbage and along with Sango, headed towards their first period English class a few minutes late.
"Kagome and Sango, you are five minutes late! Please take your seats quickly and open your textbooks to page 52. And are you girls wearing a lot of perfume today or what?"
"Sorry Miss Kaede." Both replied quietly and headed for their seats.
But when Kagome sat down, a loud farting sound echoed through the classroom. Kagome turned beat red. There was a whoopee cushion on her seat with yet another note.
You fart really loud too! You're so obnoxious!
Inuyasha again! She was going to have to watch what she did today or else, she'd suffer more humiliation than what she already had. Kagome sat quietly for the rest of the class and appeared to be working diligently. But her head was just reeling with ways to get back at Inuyasha.
After English was lunch. Kagome got in line in the cafeteria for her lunch. She paid for her lunch and heard Eri about ten people down the line and decided to wait for her so Kagome got up and walked over. "Hey..-" But Kagome didn't have time to finish when something that sounded like a gunshot rang through her ears. Kagome screamed her lungs out meanwhile spilling the contents of her lunch all over herself. She whipped around to see what exactly had happened and ran into Inuyasha. He was smirking and in his hand was a pin and the remains of a red balloon.
"Oh I'm sorry Kagome. I was being extra careful and somehow the pin still made contact with the balloon and it exploded." Inuyasha smirked.
Kagome seethed in anger at him. That was all a complete lie, no way was that an accident. The smirk on his face proved it. She lunged at him but Inuyasha saw it coming and quickly dodged her and Kagome ended up face down on the floor. She could hear laughter surround her, Inuyasha's seeming to be the loudest. "Oh that stupid arrogant jerk! He's going to be so sorry that he even heard of the name Kagome Higurashi!" Kagome cried out in her head. She picked herself up and walked out the door towards her locker for her change of clothes. If Inuyasha was going to humiliate her, then she would do it with some dignity. She wouldn't cry or tell the teacher or anything. She would walk out of there calmly, change her uniform and carry on with her day.
After lunch Kagome had history, chemistry and then lastly math. Kagome knew for a fact that Inuyasha's classes were on the other side of the school for the last bit of school with the exception of math in which they were in the same class so pranks in the next two classes were highly unlikely. Kagome sighed. "Hopefully, that was the end of things."
History was boring as usual. They watched a movie on World War II for the whole class and were assigned some research on topics. Kagome walked out of her history class. "Hey Eri!" Kagome called. She and Eri were in the same chemistry class.
"Oh hi Kagome. I'm sorry about what happened at lunch."
"It wasn't your fault."
"Yeah. Inuyasha is so…..grrr there's no words to explain what he is."
"Evil."
"YEAH!"
Kagome was still on the alert for surprises that Inuyasha might pull but the next one caught her completely off guard. She entered the chemistry classroom with Eri and standing with her teacher at the front of the class was none other than Inuyasha himself! Kagome whipped around to look at Eri who was equally surprised and shrugged her shoulders.
Kagome took her seat and not once did she make eye contact with Inuyasha. She was wondering what on earth Inuyasha be doing in her class when her teacher spoke.
"Class, this is Inuyasha. He's proven himself to be quite brilliant with chemistry and so I've asked him to help out our class today. We'll be doing our lab that you all had to read over the weekend so grab the appropriate equipment and get started. All observations will be handed in before you leave class today."
Inuyasha glanced around the classroom as everyone got their test tubes and substances. "Inuyasha." The teacher called.
Inuyasha turned around. "Yes."
"Could you please help Kagome with her lab. She's been a bit behind lately."
"No problem. No problem at all." Inuyasha smirked. "This is absolutely perfect." Inuyasha thought before heading like a shark through the classroom to feast on his prey.
Kagome finished gathering the materials necessary for the lab and started to pour some hydrochloric acid into one test tube when she felt someone behind her. She turned around and almost dropped the test tube when she realized it was Inuyasha. "What do you want." Kagome asked in a cold tone.
"I'm supposed to help you with your lab." Inuyasha replied.
"I don't need your help. You haven't been helping me at all today with all your stupid pranks."
"Oh but they're not stupid if they work to humiliate you which they have."
"Would you just shut up and help me then?" Kagome growled.
The class continued as it should for another ten minutes before a shriek coming from Kagome's corner of the classroom caught everyone's attention. Her beaker was shooting out sparks like fireworks! Kagome quickly ducked under the nearest desk protecting her head with her arms even though the sparks couldn't reach her. Eyes clenched shut, she shook under the desk. The fireworks subsided and the teacher headed towards Kagome. "What happened here?" He asked with a stern face.
"It's alright. Kagome just added potassium to the water." Inuyasha replied calmly.
"But-" Kagome stuttered out still in shock from the reaction and gripped the leg of the desk like there was no tomorrow.
"Kagome. You should know better than to mix any chemical from Group 1 with water."
"But he told me-"
"Don't be absurd. I would never tell you to make such an explosion." Inuyasha snapped quickly.
"Kagome, please re-start the experiment. It is due by the end of the period." The teacher said and turned away.
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha with flames in her eyes. "You DID too tell me to add the potassium to the water."
"You should have known not to." Inuyasha replied coolly.
"Then why did you say it in the first place?"
"Feh." Inuyasha said and looked at his nails.
Kagome dumped out her experiment and started all over again. She managed to finish but didn't have enough time to get a start on the chemistry problems in the textbook. Now she would have an extra heavy load of homework tonight. Kagome was still extremely furious. Even Eri stayed away from her. "Just one more class with this bozo and I'm home free." Kagome kept thinking. It was the only thing that kept her from blowing her head off.
Math was uneventful. Kagome was still seething and kept her eyes as far away from Inuyasha as possible. As soon as the bell rung, she walked out the door and boarded the bus. No more Inuyasha.
"So I hear you got it pretty bad today." Sango stated when she sat down beside Kagome.
"Yeah, a stink bomb letter, whoopee cushion, spilt lunch, my lab blowing up in my face and having to re-start my entire lab and get a lecture from the teacher about Inuyasha's mistake that he did on purpose. I didn't even get a chance to get him back either! I swear his cheek muscles must really hurt because all he's been doing is smirking all day. THAT BRAINLESS, INSENSITIVE PIECE OF SHIT! I'll make sure that I kill him before the end of this week!"
Sango looked at the girl sitting beside her and decided that now was not a good time to tell her what Miroku had told her about Inuyasha being appointed to tutor Kagome in chemistry two nights a week until her average rose.
A/N: sry about the twist at the end. I couldn't resist. Haha. Well here is your extra long chapter to everyone. Good things happen to those who wait. Thanks for reading everybody! Please review. Oh and btw, mixing any substances from group one with water will cause an explosion.
