A/N: Yay!! Here's the second chapter (finally) and… well… not much else to say, is there? I tried to flip things around a little bit, but it didn't really turn out as I had expected it to. On the plus side, no darkness! ^_^ Go me! I've decided to keep Inuyasha's hanyou image. No ears (u.u), but the kawaiiness remains untouched.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. Rumiko Takahashi does. *grumblegrumble* Lucky…

Chapter Two

By Tani Gesakusha

"You'll be fine."

"I know, I know…"

Kagome walked nervously down the hall. Her best friend Sango walked next to her and rolled her eyes.

"There's nothing to be worried about, Kag-chan. Kaede-sama's not mean at all. What are you so scared of, anyways?"

Kagome considered this. "Clowns and chickens."

Sango giggled. The two girls continued chatting until Sango stopped abruptly. Kagome bumped into her and glared at her resentfully.

"Why'd we stop?"

Sango rolled her eyes. "We're here, you idiot."

"…oh…"

Kagome knocked nervously on the door of the principal's office. Sango smiled encouragingly at her and leaned against a locker. She gulped and pushed the door open.

Kaede-sama looked up expectantly. "You're late."

"I got lost." Kagome said apologetically, sitting down on the chair opposite. Kaede-sama raised an eyebrow, then sighed and shuffled her papers.

"Very well. At any rate, here is your schedule. I believe you have most of your classes with Taijiya-san, so she will escort you around the school. Any questions?"

Kagome shook her head.

"Very well. Here are the rules that I expect you to follow while at Makai High. First of all, all shirts must have sleeves at least 1 ½ inches thick…"

Kagome leaned back in her chair and let her thoughts drift away. Moving into her godparent's house had actually been an easier transition then she had originally thought. Sango, her godparent's daughter, had quickly become her best friend.

While Kagome contemplated the meaning of the universe, life, and everything, and Kaede-sama babbled on about a dress code that no one followed anyways, they both failed to notice the figure at the window, glaring at Kagome.

"Higurashi-san, are you listening to me?" Kaede-sama demanded.

Kagome snapped back from her own little daydream in which white mice dominated everything and the earth was actually a computer. "Hai, Kaede-sama."

She nodded brusquely. "Very well. You are excused."

Kagome jumped up and walked as fast as she could out the door. Throwing it open, she failed to notice when it made contact with another student.

"Oh, I'm so-" Kagome began.

"Watch where you're going, bitch!" He snapped, standing up and glaring at her. She bristled.

"Well I tried to apologize, jerk! Honestly! It was an accident!"

He spun around and stomped off, leaving her to fume in the hallway. She stomped off to where Sango was waiting for her.

"That little sunuvabitch…" she mumbled. Sango raised an eyebrow.

"What's this? Did our sweet little Kagome cuss?" she said, opening her locker. Kagome shot her a look.

"I was just kidding, Kagome. Honestly. Can't you take a joke?" Sango said defensively.

"No." Kagome replied frankly.

Sango sighed. "Didn't think so. Anyways, what do you have first period?"

Kagome glanced down at her schedule. "Uh… Mr. Shinchinin."

Sango's face brightened. "Good! That means we have first period together!"

A small coughing noise behind Sango made her look over her shoulder. A young boy with tan skin and a his black hair pulled back smiled brightly at her. Sango rolled her eyes and pulled him forward. "Of course. I almost forgot. This is Houshi Miroku. Feel free to slap him at any time."

Miroku's face fell. "Sango, I am hurt to hear you say that." He knelt down in front of Kagome and clasped his hands around hers.

"Kagome-sama, your beauty outshines the stars. My love and undying devotion to you knows no bounds."

Sango snorted.

"I must ask, Kagome-sama… will you bear my child?"

For about a second, Kagome was too surprised to respond. Then, three things happened at once. She felt Miroku's hand on her butt.

Sango pulled a boomerang from fuku space and prepared to launch it at Miroku's head.

Kagome screamed "PERVERT!!" at the top of her lungs and beat her to it.

As Miroku lay twitching in pain on the ground, Sango grabbed a piece of paper that floated by and groaned.

"Great. He has PE with us…"

~*~

Once Miroku had recovered, Sango and Kagome dragged him down the hall to the gym. To Miroku's delight (and Sango's discust), the girl's PE uniforms were little more than bathing suits with a shirt over it. Sango grumbled to Kagome as they made their way through the locker room.

"It's so stupid. You'd think that they'd have given us something different, but no…"

She was interrupted by the door of the locker room being thrown open. The girls closest to it screamed at the tops of their lungs.

"Have no fear, ladies! Miroku is-"

What he was going to say next was cut off by a golf club thrown rather forcefully at his head.

"Hentai." Sango grumbled, pulling on her uniform.

~*~

The PE teacher cleared his throat impatiently. "Quiet down please…" he begged. The whole class looked him over for about a second, then resumed talking. It had to be said that the man didn't look like much- he looked like he should be teaching preschool. As a result of this, the poor guy was ignored by most of the students.

"So then I was like-"

"No way-"

"Did you hear-"

"Like, Oh my god-"

"SHUT UP!!!"

They all spun around and stared at the source of the noise. Mr. Shinchin stood in front of them, glaring angrily at them all. "Good! Now, listen up, you good for nothing sunuvabitches. We're doing dancing today."

The class groaned.

"SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU IDIOTS!"

*cricket*

 "If anyone has a problem with that, say so. Now partner off and listen up!"

Miroku smiled hopefully at the two of them. Sango narrowed her eyes at him and Kagome hit him on the head with a tennis racket.

"No chance in hell." Kagome said bluntly before pairing with a boy named Hojo. Sango looked around desperately and found that she was the only one left.

"Come on, Sango. I'm not THAT bad, am I?" Miroku begged. Sango shot him a look.

"Yes."

Kagome giggled and Hojo smiled blankly at them all.

"ALRIGHT!! LISTEN UP YOU WORTHLESS PIECES OF SHIT!!! We're going to be doing the Cotton Eyed Joe today!"

Kagome, Sango, and Miroku groaned.

Hojo smiled blankly.

~*~

Where did ya' come from, where did ya' go? Where did you come from, Cotton Eyed Joe!

"Suicide is a bad thing." Kagome repeated to herself. "Suicide is a bad thing."

Hojo smiled blankly.

"Are you sure about that?" Sango whispered to her. Stomping, clapping, and spinning student surrounded them, and the three of them were counting down seconds until the bell rang.

"2,545… 2,544… 2,543… 2,542… 2,541… 2,540…" Miroku said mechanically. Sango and Kagome groaned. Hojo smiled blankly at them all.

A/N: Well, so it's not daily. So sue me. At least I updated. ^______^ Anyways, I have 1,198 words! 1,200… 1,201… ah, hell, you get the picture! ^_____^ (by the way, this is number 1,215) R&R, onegai!
