I Dare You
Chapter 2: Careers
Kagome and Sango's next class was Career and Personal Planning (CAPP). Unfortunately, like most of their classes, Inu-yasha and Miroku were also in the same class.
The teacher stood in front of the class waiting for the students to quiet down. "Ahem! Now class as you remember your speech on your career choice is due today." Inu-yasha sat straight up, a blank look on his face "It should be between 1 and 3 minutes. Your peers will mark you on the content, and your speaking. Who wants to go first?"
A girl sitting in the front row put up her hand, the teacher motioned for the girl to come to the front. Kagome recognized her as Naomi, an avid follower of Inu-yasha. She took a deep breath and then started her presentation. "Giggle...when I grow up I don't want to have a career...giggle...I want to be a housewife...giggle...for my handsome...giggle... husband...giggle..." Said Naomi without taking a breath.
Naomi stared at Inu-yasha the whole time she talked, Inu-yasha didn't notice, he seemed deep in thought. The class clapped politely and the teacher once again moved to the front of the class. "Now on a lined piece of paper copy down this evaluation and fill it out for Naomi."
Kagome did as the teacher asked, making sure to give Naomi a fair mark. When everyone was done Miroku asked the teacher if he could go next. Everyone in the class fell silent wondering what career Miroku could have picked. No one could think of one that would be counted as a career. Pervert and letch were hardly choice careers.
Miroku stood in the front of the class, he was calm and easy going as he recited his well rehearsed speech. "All my life I have asked myself what I have been preparing for. Why am I placed upon this earth? After much painful consideration I have figured out this question. The answer is deceptively simple, to help others. So through much research I have found the perfect career for myself drum roll a Buddhist monk."
Every one in the class stared at Miroku then they all started to laugh so hard they were rolling on the floor. The very idea of Miroku being a Buddhist, it was just impossible to imagine. There was only one dry eye in the whole class and that was the teacher's, he strode up to the front of the class. He yelled "Quiet!" The whole class stopped laughing and got back into their chairs.
The teacher looked disapprovingly at each of the students. He started to clear his throat passionately. "Ahem! You will not laugh at any student's career choice, a Buddhist monk is an honorable choice of life work. Any one who would make fun of some one for just wanting to help some one else should be ashamed of themselves. I do not want to hear any more of this. Because of the jeering Miroku has had to endure he will get perfect marks on this presentation. You may now take your seat Miroku, thank you."
As Miroku walked to his desk he "tripped" on a cord and flew into Sango's arms. Sango took one look at who was sprawled on top of her and slapped him as hard as she could. Miroku lay on the ground with swirly eyes, sighing Inu-yasha dragged Miroku to his desk and propped Miroku up in his seat.
The teacher then asked Sango to present her speech. Sango walked to the front of the class still muttering about perverts. She started the speech the whole while glaring at the unconscious Miroku. "Since I was small I've always wanted to be a spy or an assassin." She finished glaring pointedly at Miroku.
Miroku regained consciousness, only to find the eyes of all the class on him. He panted loudly. "I just pant pant had the scariest dream pant pant this monster that looked like Sango tried-"
Miroku was cut off when a stapler hit him straight in the face. Sango stood in front of the class trying to look innocent. The teacher thanked her and invited Kagome up next.
Kagome stood in front of the class nervously, she hated public speaking! She was frozen in place by fear and then she saw Inu-yasha's smirking face. She swallowed and smiled sweetly to the class. "As you may know my family owns a shrine, I have always wanted to be a Miko like my older sister who I have always admired."
The class clapped without enthusiasm, each person glancing at the clock to see how much longer the class would last. The teacher stayed sitting at his desk. "We only have four minutes left" Inu-yasha looked relieved "Just about time for one more presentation. Inu-yasha why don't you go?"
Inu-yasha started, looking very nervous he made his way to the front of the class. Kagome wondered idly why Inu-yasha seemed so anxious, usually he was a self-assured speaker. Unless he hadn't prepared-
That's it he forgot to do this project. Kagome looked at the tense Inu- yasha in the eye and smiled evilly.
Inu-yasha saw Kagome's evil smile that caused him only to become uneasier. "Well...uhhhh...uhhhh....I've always wanted to be....uhhh....uhhh..." Quick think of something!! "A Samurai!" Ouch! That was stupid! "Because I admire their...strength and courage...yah...so...yah" Inu-yasha walked dejectedly to his seat feeling like an idiot.
He saw Kagome filling out his evaluation singing and then laughing evilly.
"I've been searching for a man all across Japan
Just to find, to find my Samurai
Some one who is strong and still a little shy
Yes I need, I need my Samurai!
BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kagome handed in her sheet all the while laughing like a maniac. Sango stood beside Kagome torn between fear and amusement. They looked at each other and smiled leaving the classroom for lunch.
Inu-yasha sat stupidly at his desk become more and more angry. He stood up knocking his chair and desk over yelling. "I'm going to get even! I really mean it this time!"
He walked out of the class leaving the teacher wondering what he did to deserve getting transferred to this school.

Well chapter two is done! Thank-yous to everyone who reviewed!!!! All the reviews made me do this chapter instead of doing my homework. ^_^; Oopsie! Anyways it seems that most people want Kikyo to be matched up with Sessho- maru. I'm personally not really sure who its going to be so I'll introduce both and see who it is. One will just have to end up alone. Oh Yeah! The song Kagome sings is Butterfly by DJ Mystic.
