A/N: Hi Guys! I'm so sorry I didn't update yesterday! I got home late because of the activities in school. With the science fair and the math thingy, I was able to finally leave school at seven in the evening…Can you imagine that! I'm almost killing myself!…with the compulsory joining in these activities! Anyway, I'm okay with the science fair but the math thing is really annoying! They said that the ones who join there should be the 'mathematically talented'! Then my teacher made it a requirement…Oh how frustrating! So anyway…
Guys! Thanks for all your encouragement after what happened to me. I was just so angry that after I read that review, I deleted it right away with shaking hands. But I think it's still in my e-mail…I'm too lazy to erase mails anyway…So, thanks a lot guys! For the reviews and encouragement and everything!
So some kind of violence here, I think…Sorry if it will suck. I'm not good at it.

Enemies or Lovers
Chapter 10
I thought he said he wanted to get rid of her? Then why is he flirting with that girl?" Kagome said to herself heatedly before returning her gaze to the board.
Jealous?
No!
You are…
Am not!
Oh yes you are…
Am not!
Okay, continue denying it…I know what you really feel…
Sigh Just leave me alone…I'm trying to concentrate here…
………
Thirty minutes afternoon break came. The students gathered their things to put them on their locker and exchange it with the other ones. Only three subjects left and they will be able to go back to the comforts of their home.
Again, Kikyo was left behind and waited for Inuyasha to go out of the room. After that, she glared at Kagome, her eyes full of hatred for Inuyasha's fiancée. Kagome left her seat as she whispered something to one of her girlfriends.
Kagome avoided Kikyo's glare and headed straight to the door that was just closed when Kikyo's friend went out.
"Have you learned you're lesson already?…Well, I think not…I saw you with Inuyasha in the morning when I already gave you warnings." Kikyo said in a silky but piercing kind of voice.
Kagome just smirked. "If you're acting jealous and everything, then you haven't seen everything. And for your information, flirty girl, I didn't ride with him to this stupid school and when you saw us this morning…we were shouting at each other then. And maybe you missed the exciting part of it." She said looking directly at those gray eyes.
"What is it? Did he kiss you?" Kikyo questioned her as her eyes narrowed out of suspicion.
Kagome laughed out loud at this. And before she could stop herself, "What a stupid answer Kikyo!" she managed to say out of her fits of laughter.
"What is it then! Why don't you just say, bitch!" she said impatiently, walking forward. Now she's face to face with the girl she hated most.
With this statement, she stopped laughing and looked at Kikyo angrily. Without warning, she gave her a loud slap in the face. "Don't you ever call me a bitch again…bitch." She said coldly.
Kikyo matched Kagome's penetrating glare. It seems like they've entered a staring match…to lose is to die…
"I slapped him." Kagome finally said to the girl in front of her. "I slapped him because he's so arrogant and because I don't like him…Happy now?"
Kagome broke the staring match and made a move towards the door.
"You won't go anywhere." Kikyo instructed, pure venom evident in her voice.
"What the heck are you doing, holding on to my clothes?" she muttered angrily. "Put your filthy hands off me, will you?" she added.
"Not before I've done my revenge." The girl replied.
"Revenge? What pathetic revenge is this?" Kagome said, her voice shaking out of anger. But this anger is also mingled with fear.
With just days exposed to this flirtatious girl, she already has a feeling up to what extent of damage it can do.
Just then, Kikyo's friend returned with a bag. Kagome doesn't want to imagine what the heck was in that bag.
After a few minutes, a few other girls came inside the classroom. These girls were obviously friends of Kikyo, with the way they dress.
"What—what are you going to do?" Kagome asked, her eyes widening at the sight of two baseball bats. She's a brave girl but in this kind of very dangerous situation, she can't help but feel very weak.
"I just told you. I'll have some kind of revenge." Kikyo let go of her then elbowed her in the stomach.
"OW!" Kagome shouted. She felt blood pass through her throat and out of her mouth.
"I'll teach you some lesson…so that you won't dare slap me again or punch my Inu-chan." She said with a smirk as she watched the girl fall to her knees.
Kagome spat blood on the floor. She was clutching her stomach and was breathing heavily as if she ran miles.
"You deserved it. You're worthless and a loser. You cannot even accept the fact that your Inuyasha thinks that you're a stinking flirt!" all these words spilled from Kagome's mouth. She was, for the second time that day, red with rage. She never thought there would be someone she would loathe as this girl in front of her.
"He would learn to love me. I know it because we're meant to be, you understand? So what you've got to do is go far away…drop out from this school and live somewhere else. Leave us two in peace!" Kikyo yelled matching Kagome's anger.
"How pathetic…" Kagome said, feeling another trickle of blood down her chin. She tried to stand up so that she could punch Kikyo. She needs some force to clear her mind and see how pitiful she is.
"I'm not pathetic!" Kikyo roared, now holding the baseball bat. She hit Kagome at the back causing the latter's face to meet the floor.
More blood escaped Kagome's mouth. She felt dizzy.
Heck! I'm not going to be killed by someone as pathetic as this girl! She tried to support herself with her weak arms. Her coughing worsened and more blood was lost from her.
She spat again to rid herself of the fluid. Crap! Now I'll die of hemorrhage! She told herself as she looked at the amount of blood on the floor.
"Is that enough to learn you're lesson now? I bet you're thinking that you should not have gone against me."
"You wish…you're really pathetic, you know…" Kagome said as staggered to stand up.
With this, Kikyo's face was again contorted with rage. "If you don't stop, you'll surely die!"
"Ha! As if!…You wish…" the raven-haired girl shouted bravely.
Kikyo stepped forward and slapped Kagome causing the latter to land again on the floor. Kikyo kneeled beside the fallen figure of the girl and continued to slap her with profanities in between.
Kagome was too weak to fight back. She just accepted all Kikyo's slaps helplessly.
I'm alone. No one would even help me. This is all my mother's fault. If I wasn't transferred to this school then I would be with Sango now, laughing and having a good time…not being hurt by Inuyasha, Kikyo or anybody else.
She suddenly felt warm, salty tears travel down her almost numbs cheeks.
"What the heck are you doing with Kagome!" a familiar voice shouted.
Classes are about to resume.
Inuyasha stood at the doorway, fire in his amber eyes.
"She—she tried to hurt me Inu-chan!" Kikyo lied running to embrace the hanyou. But she stopped a foot away from him. Those eyes proved to be a killer when they wanted to. Its anger is totally directed to her.
"Tried to hurt you? What a nice damn lie Hanabi Kikyo!" Inuyasha shouted angrily at her hurriedly kneeling at Kagome's side.
He gently assisted Kagome so that her head would lie on his lap. He carefully wiped the tears from her dirty face with a strong but gentle hand.
"What happened?" he whispered so gently.
"I…hate you." Kagome answered. "I hate everyone of you…" she added as she continued to cry with her eyes still closed.
The fire on his eyes was suddenly wiped out. Sadness and guilt filled them at once as he looked at the poor, fragile form of his fiancée. It's his entire fault. It's his entire nice fault that Kagome became Kikyo's next prey.
"I'm so sorry." He said, again wiping the tears that formed in Kagome's eyes.
"Don't tell me you love her! Don't tell me that you even like her!" Kikyo butted in, forgetting Inuyasha's frightening glare.
"So what if I love her! You don't have any business butting in our lives!" he shouted at her as he stood up carrying the bruised body of Kagome bridal-style.
Kikyo was left speechless. The guy she cherished most loves that girl whom she thought he also hated. This was too confusing!
She was not prepared for any of this. Her body fell on the nearest chair. She didn't notice silent tears travelling down her rosy cheeks.
………
Inuyasha barged in the principal's office to inform him about what happened a while ago in their room.
"Good gracious! What happened to her?" The principal, Mr. Myouga, said when Inuyasha entered without knocking.
"She was beaten up by Kikyo and her friends. I ask for your permission to excuse us from our classes so that I could treat her wounds." Inuyasha said with unusual formality in his voice.
"Why don't you just bring her straight home-?" the principal asked, gesturing towards Kagome.
"I'm responsible for her and anything that happens to her in this school sir. And I think I should bring her at my house first…" He explained hurriedly.
"And why is that?" he asked.
"Come on! Just excuse us, for kami's sake! She's my fiancée!" he shouted, losing all his patience and storming out of the room.
He walked across the school grounds to the students parking area. Then, he gently laid Kagome in his car and started the engine to head for his home.
