School of Love- Chapter 10
The Branded Face : Miroku's Bad Day
&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Hey!" Kouga yelled at the top of his lungs.
InuYasha and Miroku turned, to have Kouga running towards them. Behind him, was a dash of wind. In the blink of an eye, Miroku disappeared. There was also a red mark on InuYasha's face.
"Damn wolf," he said under his breath, as he inhaled the air for Miroku's scent. He wasn't going to leave his bestfriend alone with his enemy/friend for TOO long.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Kouga! What the hell?" Miroku yelled, as he got out of the embrace. Kouga smirked, and reached into his pocket; revealing a Sharpie marker. "Come here," he said with a glare.
Miroku turned to run. He didn't stand a chance. Kouga grabbed him, and caught him in a head lock. "The mutt won't be able to ignore this." He said with a chuckle. Miroku twisted and squirmed to try and get out of the demon's head lock. Luckily, a certain someone happened to appear.
"Kouga! What are you doing?!" Kagome yelled, as she ran to help her friend.
Kouga released Miroku, and in just two seconds; was standing infront of the fuming girl. He captured her in a kiss, and left.
Kagome was going to chase after him, but chose to help her friend the was rubbing his neck. "You okay?" She asked, as she turned to face him. She gasped.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Miroku stormed threw the mall aisles; getting the attention of many faces. "Look at him!" A small child said, as he pointed to the teen. Miroku ignored the finger, and continued his raid.
"Miroku, wait!" Kagome yelled, as she chased after him. She smiled, when a pair of dog ears came into view.
InuYasha had a rather stupid look on his face. He was going to say something, when Miroku slapped him on his already red cheek.
"Just where the hell were you when Kouga did this to my face?!" Miroku yelled. He didn't know what was on his face, but it had gotten the attention of many people.
"Here," Kagome said in a mumble, as she gave him a mirror from her purse. "SHE WILL BE MINE!" Miroku's face said. To go with the phrase, was a clown face. "Some friend!" Miroku yelled, as he slapped InuYasha again. He left. "You're such a jerk!" Were his final words.
Kagome stood next to her boyfriend. She wasn't sure if she should say anything. She slowly lifted her hand in the air.
InuYasha took a large step back.
"What?" Kagome asked in confusion.
"I know what 'that' means. You were about to slap me!" InuYasha yelled with a pointed finger.
Kagome shook her head in disappointment. "You're suck an idiot." She said with a smile, as she put her gentle hand on her boyfriends cheek. "Would you relax! I won't hurt you."
InuYasha forced a smile on his face, as kissed his girlfriend on the lips. He finally aloud himself to relax. Deepening the kiss, he ran his tounge over her lips; demanding enterance. A kiss was what he needed to get rid of his confused/bad mood. It seemed that everything was his fault; even though he had no idea how he was involved with whatever the person was accusing him of. "She will be mine!" What was that supposed to mean anyways? Kagome? 'That's gotta be it.'
Kagome gladly accepted him into her, and giggled into the kiss.
"Let's go," InuYasha said under his breath, as he broke the kiss. He realized that he wasn't in the mood for kissing anymore. "I'm not finished with you yet," he said with a smirk. He wrapped his arm around her waist, and kissed Kagome on the forehead. "She will be mine!"
The two walked down the mall aisles, trying to find Sango. It was obvious that Miroku would be with her.
"In there," InuYasha said, while pointing to a music store. Inside, you could see Sango. It looked like she was trying not to yell. Her face was red. She spotted InuYasha and Kagome staring at her, and barged out of the store; dragging Miroku. "Look what that jackass did to my boyfriend! He branded Miroku!" She yelled, while pointing to her innocent looking boyfriend.
"Why the hell is this our faults all of a sudden?!" InuYasha asked in a defensive tone.
"Because, Kouga used to date Kagome; and you're dating her now. As a matter-of-Miroku's-FACE..." Sango said, as she turned to Kagome. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" She said, as she glared at her bestfriend.
Kagome was going to say something, when a hand slapped over her mouth. It wasn't InuYasha's hand, she knew that. She flinched, when she heard a low growl. "Get the fuck away from her!" InuYasha yelled.
Ginta smirked. "Boss's orders," Was all he said, as he disappeared... with Kagome.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Where do you think he'd take Kagome-chan?" Sango asked. She had begun feeling guilty about what she'd said to her bestfriend. "Let's go you two. We'd better go find her." She said with a small smile, as she started dragging. She was alittle suprised, when InuYasha stayed calm. She expected to be hearing major cursing. She stopped walking, when there was a tug on her right arm. "What's wrong, InuYasha?" She asked in a semi nice tone. She was still mad that Kouga had used her boyfriend's face as a piece of canvas.
"Kagome's scent's this way." InuYasha said in an emotionless tone, as he pointed west. Sango nodded in a, "I knew that," way. "Let's get going then."
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Tale of the Hanyou-
Ginta dragged Kagome into the food court. He sat her in a chair, and held her arms behind her; preventing her any chances of escape.
"Well, you got her here in one piece." Kouga said with a smile, as he revealed himself.
Kagome looked to the side. "What do you want with me?" She asked in an emotionless tone. Why had her ex-boyfriend had his cousin kidnap her? She knew from experience that Kouga always got what he wanted; one way or another.
"What's that attitude for?" Kouga asked. "I thought that you'd be happy to see me." Kagome glared at the demon before her. She started questioning herself what she ever saw in her ex-boyfriend. "What do you want with me?" She managed to ask again.
Kouga laughed. "So persistant. Always getting right to the point. You know, that's what I always liked about you." He said, as he winked at her.
"Would you just get on with it!" Kagome yelled. Kouga threw his hands in the air. "Fine. I'll let you get back to your Hanyou boyfriend." He said with a smirk. Kagome's face turned pale. "What'd you just say?" She asked.
"What? All I said was, 'Now you can get back to your Hanyou boyfriend'. Why? Did the mutt not mention that he's only a half breed?" Kouga asked, while looking at the ceiling. Kagome didn't answer. "Look. That's all I wanted to tell you. I can tell that you're rethinking things about how trustful and honest your so called boyfriend is. Remember, I'm always here." Kouga said as he stood, and motioned for Ginta to follow.
Kagome stood, and left several minutes later. "A Hanyou? Am I even supposed to know this?" She said to herself, as she checked her watch. It was just after four, and the air conditioning was extremally high. "Wait! Where's my jacket?!" Kagome used her hand to feel the warm jacket that was supposed to be on her arms. She felt bare flesh. Ginta and his sticky fingers.
"KAGOME!" Someone yelled.
Kagome turned, to have Sango running towards her. "What'd he do to you so that I can kick his ass?!" Sango yelled.
Kagome shook her head. "He... didn't do anything." She said while looking at the ground. She went to InuYasha's side. She wasn't in the mood to continue the conversation that had barely started.
Sango shook it off, and thought it was best not to say anything. "I've got to get Miroku home so that the marker doesn't become permanent. Looks like you two have the rest of the day to yourselves." She said with a smile, as she laced her hand with Miroku's. "We'll see you tomorrow!" Were her final words, as she left.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Do you think you two will ever be friends again?" Kagome asked, hoping to be the topic starter. At first when she didn't get an answer, she thought that InuYasha was starting to feel guilty. She saw his lips form into a smile.
InuYasha smiled and nodded. "He'll call me saying that it was a stupid fight." He said, as he noticed his shivering girlfriend. He took off his jacket, and put it on her shoulders. He wasn't going to question what had happened to the first one. "Anything else you'd like to know?" When Kagome didn't answer, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders. Without hesitation, he pulled her into a kiss. He was in a kissing mood.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Bonfire- The ENEMY- Later That Night...
"This is the enemy." Kouga said, as he held up a picture of InuYasha. "No one is to go near the enemy." He said with a glare, to his thugs and henchmen. They all nodded. "We won't stop, until we have this." Kouga said, as he held up a picture of Kagome. "She's what we want." He said with a smile.
"Why do we want the Higurashi girl?" A demon asked.
Kouga rolled his eyes. "We need her to complete the plan." He said, as two thugs came up to him with a trash can filled with fire and burning newspapers. "Nobody stops, until the enemy is this." He said, as he reached behind his back; pulling out InuYasha's jacket. He threw it into the fire. 'Ginta and his sticky fingers.'
All the demons howled.
"Ayame, now." Kouga said. Ayame stood, and walked over to her boyfriend. "Yes." She said. Kouga didn't want his girlfriend to feel left out, so he gave her a special job. "You know what to do, right?" He asked.
Ayame nodded, and kissed him on the cheek. "Bye boys." She said with a wave, as she walked towards her car.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Next Morning- Almost Caught- School Grounds
It was early the next morning. Birds chirping, dogs pissing, old men getting their newspapers when...
"Where is it?!" Kagome yelled, as she went threw her backpack. "Did I leave it at Shikon?" She asked, as she stood.
"Maybe you should go check. But not by yourself. That maniac is still out there." Mrs Higurashi said from the hallway. Kagome ignored her mother's words, and put on a jacket that she had since she didn't have InuYasha's anymore. "I'm going."
In just ten minutes, Kagome was walking down the Shikon High emtpy halls. The school was open for summer school so students were welcome. Kagome walked to her locker, and twisted her locker combination. She flinched, when she heard footsteps. "Well well well..." A male voice said.
Kagome recongized the voice as Ginta. She ignored him.
Ginta snuck up behind her, and turned her so she was facing him. He punched her in the eye, and watched as she fell to the floor. "You should just give in. It would make Kouga happy." He said with a glare.
Kagome kicked the demon in the leg, and watched as he fell to the floor. She stood, and took her binder out of her locker that she'd forgotten. She slammed the door shut, and left Ginta to suffer.
"Kagome-sama!" A voice yelled. Kagome wasn't in the mood to talk to Miroku. She identified the voice as his from the sama. "What's wrong?" Miroku asked, as he stepped infront of her. He gasped. "What happened to you!" He yelled. Kagome rolled her eyes.
"I'm fine," She simply said. Miroku eyed her.
"You're lying." He said, as he laced his hand with hers. He started dragging her to the parking lot. "Where are you taking me?!" Kagome yelled, as she started struggling. Miroku tried to not let her words get to him. He only liked it when girls suffered from him. "Look who I found." He said, as he stopped dragging under a tree. "Have a good look at her." He said to InuYasha.
InuYasha was confused. He eyed his bestfriend with curiousity, and gave into the joke. He looked at Kagome, and gasped. "Who the hell did this to you?!" He yelled. He closed his mouth, and thought about better choosing of words. He had to pick his words carefully around Kagome. "Are you okay?" He asked, as his claw found a way to her face.
Kagome nodded. "Fine," Was all she said, as she looked to the side.
"Miroku, watch her." InuYasha said, as he walked towards his car. "Just what am I supposed to do with her?!" Miroku yelled after him. InuYasha didn't answer. He got into his car, and drove off. He had smelt Ginta's scent on Kagome's eye.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Sports Crazy- Taking Out Anger?
"You sure this will work?" Kagome asked, as she twirled the baseball bat she was holding.
Miroku smiled and nodded. "I saw it in a movie. Take your anger out on sports." He said with pride. To be honest, he didn't have a clue what he was doing. It wasn't really a movie where he'd seen the excersize done. It was a McDonald's commerical.
"Are you sure?" Kagome asked again. She knew that she'd be playing whatever sport Miroku had for her, for ages.
Miroku nodded, again. He walked to the pither's put on the field. He curved the ball. "Ready!" He threw the ball.
Kagome hit the ball as hard as she could. It hit Miroku in the stomach. "AHHHH!"
"Gr-gr-great. Just... great" Miroku said, as he found his way to his feet. "Just not AS HARD." He said with a cracked smile. "Ready!"
He threw the ball again. Kagome hit the ball 10 times harder. It hit Miroku in the testicles. He rolled on the ground, cursing hell for ever suggesting playing sports with Kagome.
"New game!" He yelled with a squeal, as he stood. He fell flat on his face.
"You okay?!" Kagome asked, as she ran towards him. Miroku stood strait, and held his hands out. "Five feet away." He said with a glare, as he took the bat from her. It would be of use to what he thought a baseball bat had a purpose for... walking. "You sure that you don't need-"
"FINE! JUST FINE!" Miroku yelled at the top of his lungs. Kagome quickly nodded, and looked at the ground. "Where do you think InuYasha went?" She asked.
Miroku laughed. "It's obvious where he went! He went to kick Kouga's ass for hurting you and branding me!" He said, as he pointed to his face. The writing was smudged, and blurry. His face looked like he had been beaten by Sango for groping her.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
"You sure about this?" Kagome asked, as she held the volley ball. Miroku nodded.
"That's why I have Sango playing with you. It's completly impossible for me to get hurt! Don't worry, I'll be fine." He said as he took the ball from Kagome, and held it in his hand. He threw it in the air. He watched in awe.
"Show me what you can do!" Sango yelled, as she hit the ball. Kagome hit it 10 times harder.
It was a miracle the Sango hit the ball back. "You're not trying hard enough!" She yelled like a coach would. She was simply obeying Miroku's orders: piss Kagome off to make her loose her temper.
Kagome hit the ball so hard, that it bounced on the ground... and hit Sango strait in the face. Sango fell onto her back. The ball bounced off her face, and hit Miroku in the testicles. "I'm so-"
"WE KNOW!" Miroku and Sango yelled at the same time.
Sango laid her head down, and stared at the sky, while Miroku cursed hell for ever suggesting playing sports with Kagome... AGAIN.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
"What are we playing now?" Kagome asked, as Sango sat her on the field grass. That was enough to set Miroku on fire. He was hurting everywhere like he laid himself in a hot oven.
"I'll tell you what we're playing! It's a game, a new game. It's called, 'The Nothing Game.' Everyone can do it. Even YOU. You sit, and don't do anything to cause other's harm!" Miroku yelled, as he sat the best he could. The baseball incident as well as the volley ball incident still had an effect on him.
"Miroku, don't be mean." Sango said, as she sat. She gave Kagome a smile. "Kagome, I want you to close your eyes. Concentrate on happy thoughts." She instructed.
Kagome nodded, and closed his eyes. She tried her best to think about nice things.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Narrator- It's pretty obvious to know who Kagome's thinking about! Miroku's way of things is rather strange... definatly.
