Punked
Disclaimer: InuYasha, and all characters in this story do not belong to me. Every single band that I mention in this chapter is/was a real band, and none of them belong to me. This is the worst part of every chapter. T_T
A/N: I promised to keep updating this week, so here it is. The third chapter of Punked. Big thanks to Kitty got claws (do you want to go by that name?), who gave me a great idea. I might alter the idea a bit, but a big shout-out to her for the inspiration!
Chapter 3: Rin's Past
"I'M HOME!!!!" Kagome yelled, as she took off her shoes and walked in the door.
"Hello Kagome," came a voice from the kitchen. "How was your day? Would you like something to eat?"
"It was great, thanks mom," Kagome replied, kissing her mother on the cheek. "and no, I'm not hungry right now. I have some homework to do."
"Oh, dear. Homework on the first day? Well, hurry up with that. You have a visitor coming in an hour."
Kagome's ears perked up, and her eyebrows rose. "A visitor? Who's coming?"
"Rin," her mother replied. "She wanted to see if her 'favorite cousin had survived her first day of high school'."
"Ok mom! I'll try to finish early!"
Running up the stairs to her room, Kagome tried not to think about the events of her day. Particularly that white-haired jerk that just happened to have every single one of her classes. Instead, she tried to focus on hurrying so that she could have plenty of time to talk with her cousin. Once she got in her room, she threw her backpack by her desk, turned on her radio to her favorite rock station, and settled down to work on her 40 geometry problems.
"And here's Lagwagon, with their rendition of 'Brown Eyed Girl'," said the DJ.
"Ooh!" Kagome squealed.
She turned up the volume on her radio, singing along with the song as she finished the rest of her homework.

"Damn it!" cursed a very frustrated InuYasha. "I can't believe I got 20 extra math problems just for talking back! Stupid teacher."
As InuYasha walked through his open bedroom door, he was immediately comforted by his many posters of rock bands. He had so many posters that you couldn't tell what color his walls were. Sid Vicious was blasting his lungs out in one, while Brodie Armstrong sported a giant Mohawk that rivaled InuYasha's in the one next door. He also had Rancid, The Adicts, The Unseen, The Misfits, and everything and anything that was also expressed on his backpack. He threw his uniquely decorated backpack on the floor, not caring where it landed. He sorted through his many CDs, and finally decided on one of his favorites: London Calling, by The Clash. InuYasha put in his CD, and blasted the volume. He lay on his bed, relaxing, when he remembered his mother's threat.
InuYasha, if you don't keep your grades up, I will take away your CD player.
Hastily, InuYasha jumped off his bed, grabbed his backpack, and started in on his evil homework.

"Kami, Rin, today had to be the worst day of my life," Kagome groaned.
"Ah, come on, Kagome. It couldn't have been that bad," Rin insisted.
"You're just saying that because your day came 4 years ago," Kagome pointed out.
The two cousins were sitting on Kagome's bed. The owner of the room was laying down, staring at the ceiling with a troubled look on her face. Rin, a tall girl with shoulder-length black hair in a ponytail and twinkling brown almond-shaped eyes, sat next to Kagome, looking down at her with an amused smile. She wore a simple t-shirt and jeans with sneakers, but Kagome believed that her 17 year-old cousin looked amazing in anything she wore.
"So what started your bad day?" Rin inquired.
"Ugh. As soon as I walked in the hallway, people surrounded me on all sides. Then I saw these two guys fighting: one was a punk rocker, and the other a jock. Since it was only the first day of school, I thought it'd be stupid for those guys to be suspended; you know, they deserve to suffer as much as I do. So, I broke up the fight, and the jock put on a creepy smile and asked me if I wanted to take a tour. I couldn't be rude, so I went with him. The punk guy was all pissed off-"
"Whoa, Kagome, it's only your first day of school, and you already had two guys fighting over you?" Rin interrupted, wide-eyed.
Kagome scowled at Rin. "They were probably just fighting over whose hair was the best. In that case, I would have sided with the punk guy. His Mohawk was so cool!"
"Whatever. I still prefer the messy spike look," Rin insisted.
"Anyway," Kagome continued. "the punk guy stalked off, and I was left in the clutches of that stupid Koga-"
"Koga?!" Rin interjected yet again. "Koga Yaro?! Kagome, you had better stay away from him. Before I changed schools, that guy was already a known player! And he was only on the Freshman football team!"
"Yeah, yeah, I know. He tried to allure me, but it wasn't working. I could see through his act. So, I finally escaped from him by going to my first class (which was geometry, of all things) and not 5 minutes later, that punk comes into the classroom!"
Rin's eyes were wide with shock and sympathy. "What did he say?"
"He asked me where my 'boyfriend' was, and when I told him he wasn't my boyfriend, he said *imitation of guy's voice* 'Oh, I assumed you two were hooking up by the way you took his arm.'"
"That jerk!" Rin exclaimed. "Who was he?"
"I think his name was InuYasha."
"InuYasha?! InuYasha Abunai?!" Rin practically yelled.
"Yeah, I think, why?" Kagome questioned.
"Oh, no reason," Rin tried to lie, but it wasn't working.
"Rin, I thought that since you went to that 'special school' you would be better at acting. You can't blurt out something like that and not tell me what you mean."
"Go on with your story! You don't want me to get started, because you'll never get me to shut up."
Kagome sighed. "Ok Rin. But you better tell me what that was all about when I finish."
Flushing, Rin nodded.
"Well, that InuYasha guy kept making trouble in every class. By the way, did I mention he's in all my classes? One of the best parts of my day was when the math teacher gave him 20 extra homework problems. ^_^ Then I see that jerk during lunch, and Koga is provoking him to fight!"
Rin just shook her head knowingly.
"So I actually went across that enormous cafeteria, and I told Koga off. He tried flirting with me again, but I told him I was already sitting with my other friends."
"Good for you, Kag! Who did you sit with? I know none of your middle school friends went to Kazuma."
"Oh, I met this guy in the lunch line, and he introduced me to his friends. They were all really cool. Actually, it was kind of funny, the way I met him. I was still fuming about InuYasha, and I mumbled 'What an ass'. Miroku, being the pervert that he is, took it the wrong way, and took me to his table."
Kagome sat up, and stared at Rin with scrutinizing eyes. "Your turn, Miss Narita."
"Alright 'Miss' Higurashi," she began blushing a bit. "Do you know the reason why I moved from Kazuma High to Nakao High after my sophomore year?"
Kagome shook her head curiously.
"There was this boy-"
"Oh, of course," Kagome smiled mischievously.
"We met in freshman year, when he saved me from a group of guys who were…you know…being asses *ahem*. Well, I tried making friends with him, and finally, he warmed up to me. I seemed to be the only person he was even remotely kind to.
In the middle of sophomore year, he did something that pissed me off beyond reason: he got a girlfriend. Her name was Kagura. Now, by this time, I had become totally smitten with him, but that was not the reason I got mad. It was his girlfriend that got to me. Soon after they got together, Kagura came up to me and threatened that if I ever talked to him again she would ruin my life. I knew she could do it, too, because she was the richest slut at school. If you didn't give her what she wanted, all she would have to do is tell her daddy, and he could influence anybody to make life hell for you. After this happened, I confronted him about it. He refused to believe me, and called me all sorts of awful names. He said that if Kagura didn't want him to see me, then we couldn't be friends anymore. I was so hurt that he would chose his girlfriend above his friend, that I never spoke to him again (not even after he had broken up with Kagura a few weeks later). I couldn't stand going to school and seeing him everyday, so I begged my parents to let me go to Nakao, the performing arts High School. I began studying acting, and I'm much happier now."
"Kami, Rin. I'm so sorry! But I fail to see where that fits in with InuYasha."
Rin looked at Kagome with upset eyes.
"His name is Sesshomaru Abunai. He's InuYasha's older brother."

A/N: Finally! That took me at least a few hours to write. This story had a whole lotta talking in it. But I had to set it up for the next few chapters. Look forward to more updates, now that I know what the hell I'm doing!
