Only Normal on the Average (it's a working title, it doesn't really have much to do with the story it was the first phase that popped into mind when forced to think of a title)



Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.



*Okay from NOW on I'll post longer chapters, I have a weird fetish for stopping and posting premature chapters ^^*



I felt disconnected from everything around me. Like I'd died and suddenly didn't fit into the world anymore. It was like the freaking Twilight Zone. It was creepy. And the only explanation as to why I almost flipped out and beat that stupid guy's words down his throat.

No, I'm serious. Me, non confrontational, mild mannered Kagome. I feel like such a psycho and incredibly relieved I managed to simply walk away. Still, people SAW, it was like being bodily ripped out of my warm safe cocoon of being your average Joe and tossed under a microscope of the mass conglomerate of nosy school goers. Over something so trivial....well with the 'big people on campus'



I decided to put this all behind me, and start school as originally planned. That was shot to hell when I walked into government. I walked in, kinda late, but not class-pause-able-late when the class DID pause and I felt rooted to the spot.



It was almost funny the wide myriad of stares I got, from scorn to accusing to disgust to...er..lecherous amusement??



Petty news sure travels fast among the gossip famished masses. Most likely things were taken carefully under consideration, examined, and blown to colossal proportions Mr. Partridge, the teacher, looked annoyed and told me to take a seat in the somewhat crowded room.



Two seats left.

One in the midst of people with the sneers or...

One right next to the lecher. Which, was kind of remarkable because I don't think I've ever received a leering gaze, I'm pretty conservative, its not like I go out of my way to be so or something but ...um elevator music conservative. So, here faced with two evils I chose the path of the lesser. (probably the worst mistake of my life).

I took a seat and made a big show of taking out my things and looking busy in hopes the person wouldn't try to strike up a conversation. Unsurprisingly now, because nothing seemed to work out normally anymore, the guy introduced himself.

"I'm Miroku."



And that was it. No last name. Like I was expected to know exactly who he was. Well, I kind of knew of him. Ran with Inuyasha's crowd. Must of thought he was upper-crusty, hot stuff.



"Hi." I casually threw at him. Definite brush off.



He looked a little taken back. He probably assumed my silence was from holding my breath, because he'd graced me with acknowledging my presence. It hard to believe people like him exist.

The look was fleeting.



"I heard this class is a royal pain in the ass." He said smoothly.



Humor apparent in his nice voice.

He wasn't bad on the eyes either. He looked tall, even casually sprawled in his cramped seat. Dark hair, notched at his neck. Warm, liquid brown eyes. Nice features (not nauseatingly beautiful ::cough::inuyasha or anything), very nice build (again not as wonderful as.Inu..stupid head --*yeah real mature kagome*, in my sick mind..ugh god. Bad Kagome. Bad. No more thoughts about that creep), and a seriously charming smile that was distracting to say the least.



"The guy looks a real stick in the mud, though he probably goes easy on all the pretty girls, so you'll have it made." He continued, with what I assumed was a sexy grin.



What was up with this guy? Was that even a compliment, did he just suggest I needed teachers to go easy on me. Was he calling me STUPID?!? Eh.so I wasn't used to being blatantly hit on. Amid the confusion I managed to reply coldly.

"I had him last year for econ. He's very professional and thorough and as for his flare for students...*shrug* he's probably eyed more pretty boys than girls." I added maliciously.

His eyes widened fractionally. I gave him a sweet smile and he gave me a genuine one. He laughed comfortably.



"That's really interesting.."



"Kagome." I supplied.



"Kagome," he said slowly "because I've been plagued by thoughts of not passing this class, but, I guess I've lucked out."



"What are you doing in this class if it's so horrible?" I questioned in a more normal tone of voice.



"It looks good." He replied suavely. "And besides if I hadn't I would have never met the lovely creature, that *literally* found a way in between our beloved couple."



"Kagome, your actions were very risqué, are you interested? He's devoted as hell though, you won't get very far unless you pull more stunts like the one this morning." He finished all cheshire cat smiles and slyness.



Ugh, I was blushing, I couldn't help the heat from rushing to my face.

"No way a conceited prick (whoa where did that come from) like him could ever remotely appeal to me!" I rushed to say, I little too load for my liking.

He laughed loudly. I didn't even want to think about the attention I was attracting again.



"This is obviously the beginning of a very beautiful and delicious friendship, Kagome." Again with tides of perverted undercurrents.



I had to muffled the violent urge to smack some sense into this guy. I know nothing was different at that point and yet with the clique, things *felt* so much more changed. The day would doubtlessly drag on forever, taking its sweet toll on my sanity.





A/N: Naoko Cat Girl's right^^ (Thanks so much for reviewing!!) see I never intended to write a Inuyasha fic esp. one in high school--; cos there are some really great ones out there but its been done and then some so I'm not surprised either that people avoid school fics (lol i do too ;;;;)and I promised myself when I wrote a fanfic I'd have to have a mind blowingly original idea. I sorta had one o.O But, I kind of just started writing about Kagome in high school=.= because I was drunk on tirdness and boredom and it was a common idea. Like I said I was going write a story based on my supposed better, original plot (not involving any form of school) but I couldn't bear to under my careless condition, I really didn't want it to be a fluffy kind of story so now I have a Inuyasha+Kagome(+Sess) in high school fic and I feel kind of bad about it, because I don't really like abandoning things hastily and I guess I could be up for the challenge but, if it gets unbearably bad I'll probably discontinue it. Comments? Thanks for reading!! ja.
