Going Back to School

"This Beast is Moving!!!!"

Chapter 3 First Class

Inuyasha was the first to leap from his seat, the glint of his claws shining brightly in the morning light, as he reach forward suddenly to do something very serious.

"Inuyasha, OSUWARI!!" Kagome screamed in alarm as she shoved passed Sango and knelt in front of him. "What the hell are you doing?"

Kouga, who'd been about to react as badly as Inuyasha, stay put. His solid blue eyes looked worried, but if Kagome was unaffected by this beast and if it made him look good, then he too would hold in his urge to run. From his spot beside Miroku, Kouga scoffed and furrowed his eyes at Inuyasha, "Ha, what a brat…make that, baby brat you are… getting scared of a little movement."

"Hey," Miroku, who'd been a bit nervous himself, tapped at Kouga's shoulder delicately, "Didn't you just grab my hand and say, 'mommy?'"

Kouga gave him a dark look. "What are you trying to say, pervert boy?" He gripped Miroku's collar tightly, sealing the air from his throat immediately. "Hmmm?"

Miroku sputtered and coughed as Sango, a narrow look to her eyes, turned around and very promptly added, "I heard that too. If you don't want me telling Kagome, let go of Miroku."

"Huh…" Kouga glared at Miroku, his grip still tight, as he looked back into Sango's clear eyes. "You're going to let your girlfriend defend you?"

Miroku blinked at the comment, since he couldn't do much else, as Sango staring blankly for a moment, quickly recover. "What was that Kouga? You said Mo-"

"Alright, alright," he dropped his hold on Miroku and crossed his arms in frustration. "Damn it woman, you drive a hard bargain."

Sango grinned widely, "I'm glad you noticed, but Miroku isn't my boyfriend."

"Is my stupid brother going to be on the floor all day?" Sesshomaru asked nonchalantly as he stared out the weather-stained window of the bus. He didn't want to admit it, but this method of transportation did have its merits. Even though the bus stunk, the seats were rubbery, and company was something to be desire they had already passed several streets in the time it would have taken a horse to be saddled. "If he wants to wipe it clean for me I have no quarrels with that…"

Kagome who had knelt by Inuyasha in an attempt to explain the rules of the bus -ie no fighting- had to stand rather quickly when Inuyasha stormed to his feet. "Why you fucking bastard?" He flexed his claws, his gold eyes going narrow and dark, as he stood in front of Sesshomaru. "I'm going to-"

"Osuwari!" (Can you just picture this…SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT… SIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT….)

Inuyasha, just as he was about to go down, mumbled, "For this. I left the forest?"

VVV

He came to several minutes later to the words of, "I don't see why I have to carry him."

"Don't complain," she replied softly, "you're the only one other than me that gets him in the same class and I can't carry him." Kagome who was standing behind them was crossing her arms angrily. She was the first person Inuyasha could see clearly. Her long black hair had been placed into a bun and she carried a whole load of books in her arms. What the hell is going on? And who is carrying me? That voice sounded like-

Sesshomaru, sensing that his brother was awake, promptly dropped him on the ground with a loud crash. "Do your own walking, you mongrel," he swiped his hair back and glared down at Inuyasha with a look beyond distaste.

Inuyasha growled, his voice sour with anger, "You bastard, who said to pick me up in the first place?!"

"Actually, I did," Kagome replied simply as if this was the most easy answer in the world. "Miroku and Sango, along with Kouga are in Class B, a floor beneath us with English as their homeroom, and we're in Homeroom D…" She quickly looked at a paper schedule in her fingers, there was no mistaking the shudder in her shoulders, "Math is our home-room."

Sesshomaru looked unmoved. "Math? What could that be?"

"Not those spells you do in that book you always bring to look at, is it?" Inuyasha asked as he peeled himself from the ground. This sounded interesting and something he could possibly use against his brother. Sesshomaru suddenly had the same look of intense listening on his face.

"I get to sit by Kagome," they both declared abruptly and that was instantly followed by low, sharp growls.

Kagome wore a teardrop.. "Oh my.. this isn't what you think…"

VVV

Miroku's eyes were beyond being wide to say the least as he took his seat at the back of the class. They practically took up his whole face as he stared at the girls in front of him. "Are they in our class?" His eyes traveled along the length of their legs and the curves of their chest. Needless to say he was drooling.

"You---" Sango was wearing a temple-vein as big as Tokyo as she hugged the books she'd been given by Kagome, "Is all that you can think about, are girls?!"

Miroku glanced back at her, his eyes scanning her up and down approvingly as she took a seat beside him, "Well I could think of a few other things, but you probably aren't willing to do it in public-"

Sango rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. Why did she have to get stuck watching the monk and his perverted ways, why couldn't Sesshomaru, or even Inuyasha been stuck with this… why did it have to be her. Why?

Several girls were giggling in front of Miroku and waving at him. Miroku's violet eyes were wide in embarrassment. He made a tentative wave with his left hand, the rosary around it shaking a bit, and the girls giggled again, making him blush. "Why couldn't you be that cute-"

"You pervert," Sango's English book went smack right into his face, "I should have known to expect anything better than this from you." She threw her book at his face as the class of boys and girls turned to look on in surprise. "Stupid stinking per…."

"Miss Higurashi, please go stand in the hall," the flat, no nonsense tone of the teacher interrupted Sango and Miroku in mid rant like one of Kagome's sits to Inuyasha. Sango jerked her eyes up in complete disbelief.

"What?" She gestured helplessly to Miroku, "But he's started it…"

"In the hall!"

Sango looked at Miroku in disbelief as he stuck out his tongue.

"You too Mr. Higurashi.. out into the hall.."

Miroku's eyes fell, "Huh?"

"You know," Miroku replied through a whisper of his lower lip, "If you're going to be jealous… you have a hell of a way of showing it…" They stood out in the hall, each of them holding up a bucket of water, as class went on inside.

Sango, her face hidden in a cloud of black, turned to face him, her bucket to the ready. "WHAT DID YOU SAY?"

Miroku lifted his eyes slowly, the words on his lips took too long to reach his mouth. "Noooo."

VVV

Kouga flushed the toilet for about the upteentime, clearly amaze at how the water left the seat and was somehow replaced with aqua clear liquid. "It keeps going and coming back," clearly he was amazed at how the whole system worked, and he wondered what kind of water demons were at work here.

As he was about to flash it again, he heard the door open and quickly ran to a mirror to check his reflection. The last thing he wanted right now was word to travel that he was fascinated by a boy's washroom.

Wearing the blue-black uniform, Kouga melted in with the students around him.. with only his solid blue eyes and long pointed ears producing the odd look now and again. He suddenly remembered his reason for coming here, before he was distracted by that fatal flush, and he immediately pulled off the cord which held his hair up. Letting his long black hair cover over his ears, he felt suddenly better. Kagome had realized his ears would prove questionable by other people, and begged forgiveness for not providing a bandana for him. Under her advice he'd decided to let decided down his hair. I'd do anything for her, he thought with a smile, she shouldn't feel so bad.

"Hiya," the newcomer, a calm, unimpressive boy who seemed entirely too happy for his own good, waved with a smile. Instantly the hairs on the back of Kouga's neck stood on end. He grunted back a sound, whether it was hello, or stay the hell away from me, was left entirely to the boy's comprehension. "So you're Kagome-chan, relative.. nice to meet you."

Kouga felt the hair on his neck continue to bristle, there was something wrong with this guy, something terribly wrong. "And you are?"

"Hojo," he replied offering his hand in a sign of friendship, his grin big, his eyes smiling wide. Kouga glanced at his hand and did that look most men give when another guy wants to shake their hand in a public urinal. "No thanks. Try that on Inuyasha, not on me, human-koru."

"Huh?" Hojo looked a bit confused. "Is that her other relative… Oh okay, thank you," he smiled a very pleasant smile and gave another sincere grin. "Thank you again, she has so many new relatives that every bit of information helps."

Hojo started for a stall as Kouga asked suddenly, his tone thick with suspicion, "How well do you know Kagome…"

Hojo blinked, "Well.. we've known each other for a long time. I think she likes me.. but she's always ill so its hard to go out on dates."

"Oh really," Kouga started to see a bit red as the door stall closed in front of him. He crackled his knuckles.
