*Disclaimer - STILL not mine...and neither is Advil*
the blue eyes will be explained...i promise.
*Discrimination*
Kagome slid into her seat just as the bell rang. Letting out a sigh of relief, she collapsed on top of her desk, exhuasted from her mad dash. She lifted her head only breifly to answer 'here' when the roll was called. She was startled out of her weariness when the teacher announced a new student to their class. *It's him! The guy I ran into...this...morning...Please don't let him recognize me!* She gulped when he looked directly at her and smirked. *Damn. I guess he remembers.* A blush worked across her face, and she turned to pretend to pay total and complete attention to every word leaving the teacher's mouth.
"...name is Inu Yasha. You said you just transfered here right? The only empty seat I see is in front of Kagome. (AN: OF COURSE!) Kagome, be sure to introduce yourself and help Inu Yasha keep up with the rest of the class. Now, today we'll be working..."
The teacher continued to drone on, but Kagome had stopped listening when Inu Yasha sat down in the desk in front of her.
"So...ah...Inu Yasha...where did you transfer from?" She was desperate to strike a conversation about ANYTHING other than that morning.
"Not here." *Not one for talking I suppose...* "And my name, say it like one word. Not two."
"Um...okay." Well, THAT was smooth. Kagome mentally beat herself. "You have an...odd name."
"I had odd parents." This was not going well. Kagome figured she might as well just sit back and talk only when Inuyasha had a question.
They were about three-quarters of the way through class, and Kagome was noticing that Inuyasha had been rubbing his head a lot. Especially since every time he did that, some of his hair would get brushed onto her desk. It had taken a lot of willpower to not play with it. Thinking that he may not be understanding something, or that he might possibly have a headache, Kagome decided it was high time she spoke up. So she poked his shoulder.
"Um..Inuyasha?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you need help with anything?"
"No." No beating around the bush with him, that's for sure.
"Oh. Well do you have a headache? I have some Advil if you want it."
"I'm fine." At least she had tried... Shrugging, Kagome went back to ignoring the tea, i mean taking notes. Inuyasha rubbed his head again and she pushed his hair off her desk. She still couldn't figure out if this was the same guy that had saved her. They had the same name, the same hair and they look the same in general. But the guy who saved her had dog ears, yellow eyes, and was a demon. This Inuyasha didn't have dog ears, had blue eyes, and for what she knew, was human enough, although a bit antisocial. She was still contemplating the facts when she looked up at Inuyasha.
There was a little white dog ear poking out from his hair.
*bwehehehe!* I would end it here, but I'm feeling a little anti-cliffhanger-ish, so i'll continue.
She poked him again.
"What?" He sounded a little annoyed.
"Inuyasha," she said in a sing-song voice, "You're left ear is showing." She heard him mumble a 'shit' before he pressed his hand against his head, effectively covering his ear. Kagome giggled.
"This isn't funny, wench!" He hissed between his teeth. Kagome's eyes lit up.
"So it IS you!" She giggled again. "I thought it might be." Inuyasha glared at her before turning around and raising his other hand. After a few minutes of being ignored by the teacher, Inuyasha growled, got up and walked out the door. "Wait! You can't just leave..." Although he may be an arrogant jerk, she still didn't think it would be a good idea for everyone to know there was a demon on campus. Kagome stood and tapped her teacher on the shoulder. "He said his head hurt and he was going to the nurse. I'll show him the way." And without waiting to see if he answered, she left to search for the wandering demon.
She found him poking around the language hall, having lost his way before even knowing it. He had let go of his ear, and she had to admit, he did look pretty funny with only one ear showing. Kagome saw the one ear swivel in her direction, followed by the rest of his body.
"Keh. What do you want, wench?" He crossed his arms, which made him look even funnier.
"Well, I figured you might need some help finding your way. Turns out I was right." She paused to look at his ears again. "You know, you look really silly with only one ear showing."
Inuasha 'keh'-ed but messed with the other ear, and soon it too poked out from atop his head. "Better, wench?"
Kagome frowned. "Would you stop calling me wench? I just saved you back there! I don't know where you come from, but here you can't just storm out of classrooms! Not to mention all the trouble that you would have caused if anyone ELSE saw your ears." She glared, hmphed and crossed her arms as well.
"Did you follow me to yell at me, or were you actually planning on helping?"
With a resigned sigh, Kagome muttered her agreement. She uncrossed her arms and analyzed his ears. "How exactly did you manage to hide them for that long, anyways?"
"Duct tape."
Silence.
"Oh." Kagome twitched. "Well, we've got to hid your ears. You can't just walk around all day with them showing."
"Fine."
"By the way, how come your eyes are blue today? I thought they were yellow."
"They are."
"So...."
"Contacts."
"Ah."
"..." Kagome waited a while before breaking the second silence. "You do know that your gonna hafta lean over a little if you want me to help. I'm not as tall as you are." Inuyasha 'keh'-ed again, but leaned over so she could reach his ears. *He's gonna get soooo mad at me for this but...* She could help it...Kagome just had to pet them.
"Oi, wench! Stop that!" Inuyasha smacked her hand away. Kagome rubbed her hand in mock pain and giggled.
"Come on, we should probably keep moving if we don't want to get caught." She grabbed his wrist and pulled him down the hall.
"Stupid girl. You make it sound like we're doing something wrong." Inuyasha snorted.
"Well, we are aren't we?" She thought a bit. "I mean, you're a demon. Demons don't go to school."
"Yeah? Who's to say we can't?"
Kagome stopped in the middle of the hall and let go of Inuyasha's wrist. *Who IS to say they can't go to school? The only demon I've ever met has been perfectly, well, fairly normal. The demon attack last night was to save me, and there haven't been any in a really long tiem before that...* "Because...well...you're not....you know...human."
"It's because we're different isn't it." Kagome looked up at him to see his ears droop like the other night. "We're just a bunch of freaks that don't deserve a chance for a normal life, is that it?!" Inuyasha spun around sped toward the front door before Kagome could answer.
"Inuyasha! Wait!" She started to run after him, but gave up when she realized she could never catch up with a demon. "Everyone deserves at least a chance...."
*bwahahaha* okay this is the real end of the chapter.
