Kagome stumbled out of the school with her heavy blue and white backpack slung over her right shoulder. She quickly got her balance back and looked up just in time to see the bus driving off, "Ah! No!" she yelled and started running after it.
She slowed down in defeat after a bit, scowling at her evil classmates as they waved goodbye and had a good laugh at her. She let out a weary sigh, "Dad is gonna kill me," she breathed with dread.
"Is that so? Well where do you live?" InuYasha piped up suddenly from behind her.
When he started the sentence he'd had a cute half smile on his face, but it soon faded as Kagome spun around and stuck a finger in his chest, "Don't do that to me! I almost jumped out of my skin!" she yelled angrily at the wide-eyed InuYasha.
'It wasn't THAT bad,' he thought. 'Probably PMS.' He quickly pushed the thought away and replied though, "Sorry, but still, where do you live? I might know a shortcut." Alright, so he was trying to make an excuse to talk with her more. What of it?
Kagome looked InuYasha over, eyes still showing the anger from a little while ago. Suddenly her eyes lit up and a grin broke out on her face, "Really?!" she asked excitedly.
Inu was a little startled by the girl's sudden mood changed and took a little while to reply, "Uh...yea...probably," he replied.
"Great! I live at 1325 56th Avenue," she said with a grin.
Inu looked over at the street sign with that half smile back on his face, 'She's probably just being a normal girl and overreacting. It's more than likely just a few blocks,' he thought smugly. His eyes focused on the sign and became as big as pancakes after reading it. '11th Street...Forty-five blocks and a little extra. Great. I wanted to talk with her, but not THAT long!' he complained in his head.
He sighed wearilly and looked back to Kagome, "Alright then, come on," he said and put his hands in his blue jean pockets, starting to head towards her house.
Kagome walked quickly and soon caught up with him. She slid the other strap of her backpack over her left shoulder and just kind of walked next to him, looking at the ground for awhile before speaking up, "So...where do you live?" she asked nervously.
Inu was a little surprised at the question, taking a moment to think, "A few blocks from you I guess, but I usually ride my skate board. My mom gave me a ride today to make sure I went to school. I forgot that I had to ride the bus today," he admitted with a half smile, blushing lightly. 'Wait..why am I telling HER this?' he wondered silently.
"Inu-chan! Wait up!" yelled a voice from behind them.
InuYasha turned his head in surprise and immediatly let out a groa. "Hey Sango," he mumbled. Another annoying clutz, just great. 'Wait...who's that?'
Just as he thought that Sango caught up with them and grinned, "Hey Inu, this is Miroku. He just moved next door to me!"
"Uh...this is Kagome. She missed the bus..." he said slowly, looking the two over.
Sango had already changed out of her school uniform and was wearing black baggy jeans and a tight camoflouge shirt that read 'Ha ha! Now you can't see me!' on it and her black hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail.
Miroku on the other hand still had his school uniform on and looked extremely nervous for a bit, but was soon checking out Kagome.
Inu gave him a dangerous glare saying 'Stay back bud, I'm goin' for her.' ane Miroku soon returned to playing the nervous new boy.
"Why don't you come with us? We could use some company," Kagome suggested, happy for the chance to break the silence from before.
"Sure! Why not?" Sango replied quickly with a grin.
InuYasha groaned inwardly, 'Why don't I just walk the whole school home?!' he yelled in his head. 'If too many people see this I'm going to lose my hard earned reputation!' "Fine, but I'm not waiting up for any of you." he warned and started walking, Kagome at his right and Sango and Miroku on his left as they headed off.
