Ne... I would have posted sooner (really) had I not been completely swamped
this entire week, bad, bad, week. All these crazy accumulative exams gained
up on me to beat the crap out of my poor abused time. And yesterday I spent
3 1/2 hours (I exaggerate nothing) doing a write up of my lab to have my
computer crash the only thing I could recover was the TITLE yes I was
spared the title, because god forbid I lose my title. So that's my little
sob story that I can't seem to quite get over T.T
On the other hand I'm really happy that the fic seems to be going okay. Reviews are great for the struggling student by day and humbled fanfic writer by, um later that day.
I want to respond to all the reviews but I cannttt =[ so I'll try to address the specific ones but my sincerest thanks to: Amanda, Gir, juliemoonstar, zel no miko, tenshineko, Amaniachwen, Mysticnight, Dark Star (its always great to read you reviews^^), Rin (Sesshou. Is way awesome, and as for the Kagome thing, well its probable *cringe* sorry! I know Sesshoumaru adores only rin in the anime/manga but I have a weakness for weird, impossible pairings^^, sorry if I offend), Ruby-san, Oyuki (hope to hear you in the future), BitterLily, Cappie-chan (*stands in awe*), Lyn/Lin, just peachy, Akiko, P.t., vernal equinox (I'm soOo flattered, always look forward to your reviews), chibi kawaii inu, Kitten-with-claws, J. Garibaldi, Unknow, Moine G, Naoko Cat Girl, Demon Blade, Cacat-angel, Fire, Claraious, Lady Dark Angel, and Mikazuki (and anyone I forgot I'm soso sorry).
Only Normal on the Average
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.
"No."
Spinning around on her heels anticlimatically, not caring to stay a moment longer. That was low. Totally below the belt... And a poor kind of attempt at playing a joke, making a bet, rising to a dare, what have you. How -immature- Kagome thought distastefully and altogether mean.
hmmph, and another thing, the guy had what.. a superiority complex? Somewhere in that pretty head of his he obviously saw himself lifting a finger and everyone else falling to their knees. Kagome felt a twinge of regret for not at least glancing back to fully take in his expression and store it in her memory so that she might freely derive joy from that victorious moment.
High school is as stupid and petty as you want it to be. It's the living clique that's seen in the movies and read in the books except in the end everyone does not get their own happily ever after and end up at a long dinner table making merry with food and laughing it up then to discover the stupid family dog had puppies. And here I am thinking I've come out relatively unscathed.
How cruel to have created a disillusioned safety bubble only to have it be tossed among pricks like Inuyasha. After three long, uneventful years, why now do I feel trapped in a parallel bizzaro world.
O.k. so I'm up playing things, but I was in a dramatic mood and felt more disgusted by Inuyasha than I'd like to admit. I shouldn't let him get to me. I shouldn't. I didn't even know him. I felt like such an idiot.
Only when she realized that her train of her thoughts had unconsciously taken her to a place of solace did Kagome gladly flop down on a bench in the small school garden with a puff of relief. Originally it was a plot of area set aside for the new botany class but as the department grew, the 'garden' was expanded and made to be an odd combination of mini fields of diversified flowers, an enclosure of exotic plants, cultivated agricultural experimentation, and an over all picnicy green picturesque atmosphere. Didn't sound picnicable? Well, maybe not, but staring listlessly into the sweet, dusty blue of the sky it was suddenly the most perfect place for an outdoor meal, if I wasn't 30 degrees below what a comfortable temperature was. This led to the thought of edibles, which painfully triggered the timed growling of my stomach, and inevitably ushered my contemplation's towards a certain SANGO that had kept me from said food. Sango. Damn. Ops, I left her with those two. Poor Sango not being able to catch up with me and all when she was tied by ball and chain. Was I gonna get an ear full....
Flinging her arm over her closed eyes Kagome stayed in her languid position putting off being throttled by Sango just a bit. Hmmm ... This was nice, maybe I should just ditch the rest of the day and,, Kagome's squeaky clean conscience rebelled, ok maybe not. C'mon, get up, save Sango, apologize profusely; surely the path of least pain.
Sesshoumaru walked along the empty outdoor halls where the pavement kissed his feet and the wind tentatively caressed his hair. His face impossibly gorgeous and placid, poets and artists would weep at the sight of him at that moment. His appearance though betrayed his inner thoughts. How it was degrading to be coerced into living with my father, his bitch, and the unsavory product of their union.
But I'm doing it for my mother, if she really wants this ...... It's not my place to refuse her. So here he was at the damnable school, with his whole ruthlessly orderly, systematic life wiped -clean-. A new slate, so to speak. It was staring at a blank canvas with growing frustration at not knowing what to fill it with. He hated it. At the very least he was granted as much freedom as he 'needed'. (thus not being at school yesterday) to adjust and adapt. So the bitch was trying to pull the liberal, see-how I'm- not-uncomfortable stepmother trump card. Pathetic really. Her flaky exterior was insufferable and the way she fostered and babied that brat.,... if he could, Sesshoumaru would have shuddered. The repulsive mother and son tag team seemed to rub him in all the wrong ways.
One moment he was alone with his brooding thoughts, the next he was *nearly* knocked flat on his ass. Of course he wasn't, Inuyasha would sooner become his indentured slave than -that- happening. Instead the smaller person that crashed into him suffered the blunt of the impact, sending the person sorely on their rump.
Sesshoumaru cursed softly, wishing he had his sword handy.
'Oww' was Kagome's first thought, as she artfully averted her eyes from another casualty of her sudden bout of cluminess, precariously picking herself up. Readying herself for blasting the person with apologies. Her breath caught as she got an eyeful of the victim. There was no second thought for a long time. Eventually she settled with a good reliable, 'oh my god..." Kagome curiously stared at the man slash demigod in front of her. 'Right out of a Greek mythology' she mused, dressed in a thick, gray, wool sweater and casual slacks, the breeze picked lightly at strands of his silky looking silver hair, while elegant, golden eyes flashing naughtily in the sunlight; bore down on her indifferently. He exuded hypnotic authority and masculinity not to mention an engulfing, sensual body warmth, that Kagome had to take a confused step back. She couldn't seem to recall a Greek or Roman god with flaxen eyes and silver tinted hair. She also couldn't help but think this guy was sex on legs.
Kagome had the grace to blush indiscreetly, the heat in her face making her more mortified, thinking that he could easily read her lewd thought.
In that sobering light, her brain cells were put to use again. Unexpectedly jolting her with the application of his familiar looks to ... Inuyasha. It became increasingly evident to her of their likenesses.
'But definitely different too,' she thought, 'he was a lot less rough around the edges, and their demeanor was clearly contrasting.' If Kagome bothered to delve deeper she probably would have guessed they were brothers.
'Get it together! You look like such a moron,' Kagome's mind screamed.
"ahh... I .. I um sorry for .. it, it was my fault because uh ... I mean. I'm sorry?" why did her throat feel constricted? Kagome's pride protested violently.... -stuttering-?!
The guy was giving her a look that made her feel unworthy to lick dirt off his shoes.
'hey now, that's not fair' Kagome thought with growing irritation.
Sesshoumaru's honed eye took in everything, from disheveled hair to her stiff stance. Just another vapid little schoolgirl ogling like the nitwit she was. And a rather homely one at that he mentally scoffed. Sesshoumaru completely used to her kind of stare, fully intended to leave her standing around like a dejected fool with a few well placed words, when her awe- inspired eyes abruptly changed, shimmering an interesting color of fine charcoal embers, lacing her astute blue eyes prettily.
'psshh if he thinks he's so high and mighty because he's some big beautiful doll. He has another thing coming to him.' 'I've dealt with one too many attractive guys and their overbearing egos in these two days I don't need to make a habit of it.' Her resolve returning. Kagome said coolly,
"Sorry about that," throwing in a polite smile in for the affect, "my attentions were elsewhere, but you'll have to excuse me because I have somewhere I need to be." Inwardly cheering on how level and flat her voice sounded.
Before Sesshoumaru could respond, Kagome for the second time that day twirled daintily around and high tailed out of there.
Sesshoumaru was felt a strange tangibility of puzzlement for a brief second before dismissing it. It was just that her over-all regular voice had a unusually pleasant resonance to it... but just as soon as the thought was conveyed it was discharged. He had places to be too.

Sango alternated her suspicious frown from the unsmiling, shell-shocked one to the frazzled looking dark haired one. The latter noticed her before his companion. Miroku opened his mouth; but, Inuyasha beat him to the punch somehow.
"Is your little friend on PMS or something?"
Sango's frown formed into a full fledged scowl.
Miroku seeing the danger in the situation, effortlessly laughed, slapping his friend on the back. Hard. Giving him 'the look'.
'what??!' Inuyasha looked on back.
Miroku rotated slightly to face Sango eye to eye.
"Helloo there, I'm Miroku. Don't mind Inuyasha over there" with a airy wave, "he tends to be a bumbling simpleton, when he's -abashed- and -shy-, it can be enduring if you're used to his awkward timidity, but more often than not it comes out in his crude, dumbass way." He intoned in a syrupy manner not missing a beat.
Inuyasha snarled. If he were covered in fur it would without a doubt be standing on end by now.
Sango wasn't biting, 'Was this guy for -real-??!' oddly having the exact thought that Kagome did 24 hours earlier.
'Well, well, what do we have here,' Miroku thought promiscuously, ignoring his friend. Donning an excessively charming smile, Miroku thoroughly examined Sango.
Nice eyes, adorable nose, inviting upturned lips, pausing thoughtfully there, but continued happily checking out.......lower....
Sango was seeing red. Miroku was lucky that all Sango had was a book; well .... maybe not so lucky.
Sango responded to his roving gaze by innocently stepping closer....
And releasing the lethal textbook with an extra, encouraging push, right on Miroku's two feet.
Miroku gasped in pain. A choked sound was all that came out.
Sango wore a broad smile, cheerfully plucking up the offending object with super human strength and casually headed to her locker.
Inuyasha was howling with laughter in the background.
There all done. =D sorry it couldn't be longer, I have to finish up some stuff, but I'll try to get another chapter out this weekend maybe? Reviews willll hellpppp *smiles suggestively* But really, lemee know what you think! Ja!
