Disclaimer: Nope, don't own. Stop bugging me about that! Anyway, I got almost exactly ten hours of sleep, so I'm super happy, and this is a treat for my wonderful readers: the next installment of Youkai High! I'll update everything else later. Anyway, enjoy! Oh, and by the way, I'd like to thank all of you readers; hearing funny stories on sleeping arrangements and what you guys think the mistake is really made my day! As of right now, I love you all. Oh, and WARNING: in the beginning of this chapter, we're taking a break from the main characters.

Youkai High

The Bitch Is Back

"Hey, dad, why'd you send for me?" Inuyasha asked as he stepped into his father's office. His father was sitting behind his desk, and what looked like a beautiful woman was sitting across from him.

Sugimi looked up, and nodded. "Yes, I did. Seeing as your brother is rather...occupied as of late, I need you to show this new transfer student around. It appears we've got a miko joining our ranks. Inuyasha, meet Kikyou Onigumo. She's apparently Mr. Onigumo's neice, and has come to our school to learn the ways of the youkai."

The woman turned to look at Inuyasha, and he felt his heart skip a beat. Kikyou, surprisingly, bore a great deal of resemblance to Kagome, although she had chocolate brown eyes that seemed almost cold to look at. Her long black hair was free and fell to her midback, and had light eyeshadow to accent her eyes. She was wearing normal jeans, and a white t-shirt with the picture of a bow on it. She held out a hand for him to shake.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Inuyasha. That concealment spell you've got going is very complicated; you must be very powerful to hold it for so long." She patted his ego, when inside she was really sneering. This whole school is pathetic! Especially this worthless hanyou, but I need him to complete the plans Onigumo told me about. So I guess I just need to put up with him until we can get on with it.

Inuyasha nodded, smiling as he took her hand, showing his fangs. "Of course! If you want, I can show you around now, and then take you to your dorm room?" It somehow turned into a question.

"Oh, that would be nice, Inu." She decided that shortening his name would make it seem more likely that she liked him. "It was lovely meeting you, Mr. Inu no Taishou, although I hope that we won't be seeing each other too often in this office."

Sugimi nodded, smiling. It turned into a frown, though, when they left the room. What was that disgusting stench of dirt and old bones that I just smelled? It couldn't have come from that girl, could it have? He wondered, covering his nose as he went to open all the windows in the room. Better to get the stench out of the room now than give it time to steep.

"Hey, guys, I'd like you to meet this new transfer student, Kikyou Onigumo! She's related to Mr. Onigumo." Inuyasha yelled at Koga, Sango, and Miroku. Of course, he being so loud he ended up informing the other people in the cafeteria which, incidentally, included the rest of his friends.

"Another transfer student? We never had one, and now we've got two in less than six months!" Sango said, looking up from the book she was reading that described ways to kill demons. Why a place that schooled youkai would have such a book she didn't know, but it helped to strengthen what she already knew.

"Yeah, that's just a little bit weird, Inuyasha. But whatever, who are we to complain. So, what's your species?" Bankotsu asked, standing and walking over to the group.

Kikyou passed him a barely-managed smile. "I'm a miko. I came here to learn more about the lives of youkai." She supplied; lying, of course. She already knew all there was to know about youkai.

Hearing this, all the youkai in the group decided it would be best to just leave her alone, and decided to ignore her. She was perfectly fine with that, of course, and left the room to think up more on her "plans." Inuyasha, who'd felt the lightest bit of infatuation, was sad, of course, but not enough to leave his friends to follow her.

Kagome woke up the second time with a bad headache. It was annoying, to say the least, but a soft growl from behind her made her stop rubbing at her temples. She turned and, lo and behold, Sesshoumaru was sitting behind her, her head in his lap, his eyes a slight pink color. He didn't seem to be doing anything other than staring at her.

"Uh, hi. How long was I asleep for?" She asked, her voice hoarse with sleep.

He sniffed lightly, and handed her a water bottle. "Merely six and a half hours. Nothing to get worried over. The water holds an herbal powder that will help you regain your strength." His voice was back to emotionless, but the pink in his eyes signaled that his youkai was still very close to the surface.

Kagome nodded and gratefully drank the water; it tasted amazing to her parched throat. In fact, she wound up drinking the whole bottle in a matter of minutes. Yum. "So, where did Mrs. Izayoi go, Sesshoumaru?" She asked, wiping her mouth daintily.

Sesshoumaru shrugged, a soft ripple of movement. "She has other duties to attend to. As I am in school, and passing all of my classes with the highest marks, Father decided that it would be okay for me to miss classes to watch over you in her place. I trust that is alright with you?" He gave her a small glare as if to say, "that better be alright with you."

She nodded. "Yeah, that's alright. Um, so, what do you think I missed in class today?" She asked, noticing the clock beside her bed read 3 am.

Another shrug. "Nothing important. Although, if you're really concerned about missing subjects, I can talk to Father about getting the notes for you." He was looking at her strangely when he said this, and she paused in trying to get up to get changed.

"Hm. I guess that I don't really need the notes, unless I go to class and can't understand a thing. So, maybe I'll take you up on that offer later, okay? In the meantime, can you please leave so I can change?" She was blushing now; just great.

He scoffed. "Hn. I have no reason to leave. Go ahead and change; when you're done, I'll take you to the showers so you can bathe, and then to the cafeteria."

She wanted to argue; he could see that, he could even smell it. But, thankfully, she didn't; it seemed she was still tired. Instead, she grabbed an extra pair of clothes and her bathing supplies, and glared at him pointedly. He smirked and stood, and led the way to the showers.

Kagome breathed a sigh of relief after she was finally clean, and her belly was finally full. She patted her happy stomach, feeling like purring in contentment. Until she felt an ominous aura around her, and gave a fairly good impression of a growl.

Sesshoumaru, who'd been copying down his notes for class for her to study from, glanced up, the pink in his eyes turning just a bit darker. "What is it that causes you this anger?" He asked, a threat underlying his words. He would never allow anyone to hurt one who he now considered under his protection.

She debated whether or not to tell him, then decided that considering how...almost nice he was being, there was no harm in not telling him. "Well, I just sensed the aura of someone I used to know back in Japan, years ago. She's a miko, although she dabbles more in curses than the purifying arts. I remember she tried to hurt me years ago, and if she's here again, than she's probably try to do the same now."

Sesshoumaru growled threateningly, and placed a clawed tip on her forehead. "Rest assured that I will protect you, from anyone. I recognize this scent from the past, but I can't remember why it's familiar to me. But know that I will protect you from any harm." He told her, his eyes flashing demonic red.

Kagome nodded, happy for once. Why, she didn't know; but she did know that she recognized this feeling of being protected from the past as well. Of course, her memories of such a time was blocked from her. She sighed heavily. "I'll just try to avoid her for now. Um, do you...want to go do something?" She asked hesitantly.

He stood in answer. "Shall we visit the library? I was informed that you learned you are of miko descent. I believe our library stocks some books on miko powers and the like."

She nodded. "While we're there, can I also look at books on youkai? Oh, speaking of youkai, I wanted to ask you what type you were, now that I accept that you are one. Your hair is silver, and your eyes amber. Is it a trait of your bloodline?"

He was already walking; he turned back to glance at her. "I am an inu youkai; inu youkai have the traits you just named. In the past, we inu youkai were powerful youkai lords who ruled over the lands, and were recognized by our fair hair and eyes." He told her, leading her down the halls.

"I see." She stopped questioning him; she had a little to think on anyway. So, instead, she followed him around like a puppy. Heh, puppy-inu. Nice. So now, she decided to wonder about the aura she felt, the aura that was suspiciously like Kikyou's. Her bitch of a half-sister who'd tried to kill her all those years ago because of some petty arguement. If she really was back, well then, Kagome would just have to deal with her once more.

And now it seemed not only did she have her own powers now, she had the backings of what she guessed to be a powerful youkai on her side. If Kikyou was up to no good, she'd just have to put her in her place.

Sesshoumaru felt a smirk cross his face as he smelled Kagome's ire on the wind. That aura really seemed to have made her mad. But then his eyes turned a deep purple, and his inu resisted the urge to give a fierce growl. He remembered that scent, all right. That disgusting scent of dirt and bones that had betrayed he and his intended all those years ago. If it truly was the same person, or even a reincarnation of that dark miko, then he'd just have to kill her all over again. Perhaps that would help in fixing his mistake of murdering his own beloved in cold blood.

It's short, so sue me. It's just a treat as to what's going to happen next. Well, now you know part of the mistake. Mind you, it isn't all of it, and you don't know the whole story, but it's planning on being juicy, so stay tuned! Although, this next update probably isn't going to be coming until the end of this week, or the next. I actually want to update the rest of my ongoing stories before continuing with this, so whatever. Please be good readers and review for me!
