And she was right. Not only did she have Yuki to deal with, but also
math class had been particularly trying. It didn't matter how many times
the teacher explained the lesson to her, she still didn't understand it.
By the end of the day, she felt completely drained. All she wanted to do
was go home and sleep. The first part her walk home was pretty peaceful.
Thoughts of her quiet room and soft bed occupied her mind, which was why she ran right into Kobayashi Yuki. His voice brought her out of the daze she was in, " Hmm. what a coincidence, running into you like this. Must be fate." " Feh", was her only reply. If Inu Yasha could say it then so could she. Kagome took a big step to her right, so that he was no longer in her way, and kept walking.
The green haired boy caught up with her seconds later. " I saw that you were having trouble in math today. Perhaps, I could help you. Math is, after all, one of my best subjects.", he said with a small smirk on his face. Kagome could feel her blood boiling. How dare he flaunt her imperfections? So what if she math was hard for her. She decided to give him a piece of her mind. After all, they weren't in school anymore and she didn't have to be nice.
They were about halfway to her house when she turned to him and yelled, " What kind of a crazy person are you? One day you're threatening my family, and the next you're offering to help me with my schoolwork? What makes you think I'd even want your help, demon boy?!" Yuki stopped and said softly, " Half demon.. I'm only a half demon." That caught her slightly off guard, which caused some of her pent of anger to dissipate. " So, what? Any normal demon would have killed me and taken the jewel by now.", she said coldly.
In a flash, he was in front of her, with a hand lightly gripping her throat. He searched her face with his serious eyes and said, " Is that what you want? Would you prefer it that way?" For the first time, she was truly frightened of him. Kagome shook her head slowly. He withdrew his hand and patted her on the head. " Don't look so scared, Kagome. I couldn't kill you. I still need you to help me find the rest of the Shikon shards, remember?", he said smiling.
She took a deep breath, and tried to regain some control over the situation. They continued walking towards her house. Yuki was strolling along beside her as if nothing had happened, as if hadn't just tried to kill her. Cautiously, she asked him what kind of a half demon he was because she curious. " Guess.", he commanded. " Um. dog demon?", she answered only because the words half demon always made her think about Inu Yasha.
He glared at her and said, " There's no need to be insulting." Kagome shrugged her shoulders indicating that she really didn't have a clue as to what sort of half demon he was. " I am", he paused dramatically, " half human and half snake demon." " Well, that explains the hair, and the long fangs", she thought to herself. Yuki seemed to be waiting for some kind of response, so she said, " A snake demon, huh?"
She was about to ask him about his parents when she noticed that they were getting close to her house. Stopping, she said pointedly, " There's my house." Kagome hoped that he would take the hint and vanish like he always did. Yuki gave her an odd look and said sarcastically, " Is that so?."
She was relieved to find that when she continued to walk towards her home, he didn't follow her. Taking a quick glance behind her, she was surprised to find that he was walking back the way they came. She yelled out, " Hey, why don't you disappear like you normally do." He stopped, but didn't turn around. " I thought you hated when I did that", he said, then kept on walking. Speechless, Kagome watched him leave. " That is one weird person", she thought as she entered her house.
(A/N: Here's the sixth chapter. I hope everyone likes the story so far. Thanks to any reviewers!! In the next chapter, Kagome will find out exactly why Kobayashi wants the Shikon Jewel. Also, when Kagome's late coming back down the well, could a certain someone be getting a little worried?? ^_^)
