Disclaimer: Do I have to keep saying this? *sees lawyers enter room* Alright, alright already. I'll

say it. *sigh* I don't own Inuyasha and co. There, happy now? *sees lawyers nod and leave* God

what a waste of time. Well go read!

Chapter 3: A Very Close Call

Well, my first classes went well. I got a lot of stares from every single person in my classes and,

come to find out, I have most of my classes with Inuyasha and Miroku. Now it's time for lunch and

the meeting of the gang. That means I have to meet Kikyou! I don't want to meet the bitch!

God, can't anything go the way I want? Maybe not.

I head into the cafeteria right beside Sango as she shows me around the school until I know where

I'm going. She stops at the lunch line, as do I, to get our lunch. She orders chicken and I get

pizza. Mmmm…cheese pizza. You know, being part youkai isn't that bad, well for this case

anyway. I mean, being part youkai, you have more energy and therefore you don't get fat as fast

or as much when you don't watch what you're eating. After we pay, we head over to a table that

looks like it has a lot of people already at it. I can see Inuyasha, Miroku, Kouga and Kikyou, the

bitch, but I also see 3 people I have never met or seen, for that matter, before. The tall one must

be the leader of the gang, he certainly looks old enough and is the only boy there I haven't met.

"Hey guys!" Sango greets. Everyone at the table nods, except Inuyasha. Why does he have to be

so rude?

"I can see that the rumors are true." Said the tall one who I believe to be Sesshoumaru. He is full

youkai, I can tell. He gives off this regal and powerful aura. He is also at least a 2nd year if not a

3rd year by his looks.

"What rumors?" Sango asks for all of us. I'm curious as well but I won't say that out loud.

"The rumors that have been going around the school saying that Miss Higurashi *points to me* is

now going to this school." I guess he is the formal type of guy and uses the proper name for it

too. There's rumors about me coming here? God, that little bit of news didn't take too long to get

around.

"You can call me Kagome, if you like. I hate all the formal talk." I get a few raised eyebrows from

the others at the table. I mean come on! I may be the richest person in all of Japan but do they

think I enjoy all the formal type of talk? It disgusts me. I'm also trying to keep my temper down

so I don't change. Kikyou is sitting right next to me but is cuddling up to Inuyasha. God, she

makes me sick!

"Oh? You don't like people calling you Miss Higurashi?"

I shake my head no as I answer. "No, I don't. It sounds way to formal and I'm at school. It's not

like I'm anything special. I mean, yes I have a lot of money but who cares! I just want to be like

a normal person and have fun here at school. I'm formal only when I have to be other wise I'm a

fun type of girl that doesn't worry about things like that." As I say this I try to get as far away

from the Bitch as I can without people noticing me doing it at the same time. I take a seat on the

opposite side of Kikyou, she's facing me but a lot farther away to my right, and Sango sits next to

me on the left.

"Kagome, this is Kikyou, *whispers so only I can hear* if you can't tell, *normal voice* Rin with

the shoulder length hair, Sesshoumaru next to her and Ayame with the red hair. That's the last bit

of the gang."

"I see." When I spoke this time, Kikyou looked at me as if just now noticing that I was even there.

I hate her, hate her, hate her! Uh-oh. I think I'm beginning to change! Chikusho! "Sango, I'll be

right back."

"Where are you going?"

"Bathroom. I'll be back in a few minutes, ok?"

"Alright. You know how to get back here?"

"Hai." As a say this I'm almost out of the cafeteria.

-------Inuyasha's POV-------

Where the hell is she going? I smell it again. What is it with that scent? Who is it that is creating

it? I carefully scoot Kikyou off of my lap that she somehow was able to get into and get up walking

out of the cafeteria. A few of the gang members look at me questionably but I say nothing. I have

to figure out this scent! It's driving me crazy because I don't know where it's coming from and

who!

I follow Kagome's scent until I reach one of the girl's bathrooms and I can smell that other guy that

was with her this morning now with her. What is going on? I still smell that weird scent and it's

getting stronger! I silently hide behind the corner of the wall right next to the bathroom to over

hear what's being said inside.

I hear some interesting things like "I have to just calm down" coming from Kagome and something

really strange from someone else "If you change now, you wont be able to come back here" and

her reply "Don't you think I know that already! I can't help it if I get this way because of how I

feel towards that Bitch!" Then all of the sudden, that scent come on full force and I can't take it!

It's so…so irresistible and intoxicating! I have to get out of here! I hurry back to the cafeteria and

sit down to finish my lunch. I get several questions as to why I left but I just ignore them. I'm

sure the other youkai at our table can smell that scent just as much as I can at this point.

-------Kagome's POV-------

I run to the bathroom as fast as I can and I know that Akio is following me. I can smell him as well

as someone else but I ignore that for now. I'm now leaning over the sink watching myself change

when the door opens and Akio comes in. I keep muttering to myself "I have to just calm down"

over and over again.

"If you change now, you won't be able to come back here." Akio says from the side of the hallway

leading into the bathroom. He has the door lock from the inside so no one can come in and

interrupt what he has to say.

"Don't you think I know that already! I can't help it if I get this way because of how I feel towards

that Bitch!" now my youkai blood is out full force and so is my scent. Gods, this is horrible! Then I

whisper so only he can hear and no one else that might be hanging around the area 6 words that

might help me out. "Please, don't tell mother and father."

He just barely hears but nods his head. He can tell that I like it here at this school and I don't

think anyone found out by this little trip to the bathroom for me of what I am. I know someone

was there but they left after I completely changed. I wonder why, though, I mean, I don't think

my scent is to bad but if someone follows you they normally stick around until they find out what

happened. Strange in my opinion.

A few minutes later, Akio walks out in his invisible mode and I wait until my blood has completely

calmed down. It takes about another 10 minutes before I can go out there in normal human for

and I take the chance to go to the bathroom, you know use it and not just stand in the area.

When I leave, several youkai students look at me in a strange way. I think my youkai scent is still

coming from me but I have to go back. I have already been gone for a lot longer than most people

who have to use the restroom do.

Once I enter the cafeteria, Sango asks what took me so long and all I say as an excuse to her and

for her only is that I had female problems. She gives me an 'oh' as a response as she, too, knows

what I'm talking about. I get back to eating my lunch, not looking at the Bitch, and listening to

other people talk. I just want to get out of here as soon as I can to not be around the Bitch. I

don't want to change again into my 'true form'.

The rest of the day went uneventful. Well, in less you think of the students staring at me in my

last classes as uneventful. God, don't these people know that it's rude to stare at other people.

They did it the same why people did when in my first classes of the day. This is getting really

annoying!

I will be able to update.
