A/N I'm really sorry it took so long to update this, but I do have a life.   Well everybody I'm back.  My week in Florida was fun, boating, jet skiing, shopping.  Okay so I only bought a pair of sun glasses.  Anyway I want to thank everyone that has reviewed my story and this chapter is dedicated to you all.

School Rules Chapter 4 : Bouncing Along

            "Who has designated bathroom spots!?!?!" Inuyasha asked, as if it was the craziest idea in the world.  "We do Inuyasha, and calm down," Kagome said soothingly, trying not to attract more attention.  That wasn't going over to well though.  Inuyasha was once again holding her hand, his excuse was so nobody else would touch her. He didn't want them all over Kagome.  Kagome had sighed at this but agreed because maybe people would leave them alone that way.

             FAT CHANCE!!  Everybody had the idea that she was and had been going out with Hojo and this new kid comes in and she was all over him.  Kagome had stopped telling them otherwise a long time ago because they weren't listening. So now Kagome and Inuyasha were going hand in hand to there next class, history. 

*In History Class*

            "Mr. Inuyasha you say?  Well I don't know about your other schools, but at this school you are NOT aloud to wear hats.  I insist that you remove the object from your head,"  Mr. Uraushi demanded.  The whole class was staring at him as he side glanced to Kagome.  She was gritting her teeth in a nervous way.  She frowned but nodded her head, "What other option is there?" she said so quietly that only he could hear.  He frowned at the thought of what Kagome would do if he killed her teacher.  He slowly and reluctantly pulled of the baseball cap that he had on. 

            Once again the whole class gasped and stared in astonishment. They stared . . . and stared. . . and even the teacher was still staring!!  Okay they were pissing Kagome off now.  "WHAT IS YOU PEOPLES PROBLEM!?!?!"  she screamed, totally outraged.  The whole class turned their heads and (DUN DUN DUN!) stared at Kagome.  Then everyone made the worst choice in their lives. . . they started to whisper. 

            Inuyasha picked it all up, "He has dog ears!."  "She knew he had them.!"  "I bet she's been cheating on Hojo with him!"  Kagome couldn't stand it anymore so she stomped out of the room angrily.  "She must be going to anger management therapy when she misses all those days," came more whispers.  "Kagome, come back here," Inuyasha said getting up and going after her.

            He found her outside sitting under a shady tree. . . crying.  He could smell her tears from across the lawn. He ran over to her.

            Kagome heard someone run up to her, but was surprised when she felt someone's arms go around her waist and pick her up.  When she took her hands away from her face she was up in the tree sitting in. . . Inuyasha's lap!  He was holding her tightly against him.

            "Kagome," Inuyasha said quietly, " why did you do that?"  She stopped sobbing and looked into his eyes.  "They don't need to stare at you like you're some sort off freak!  It's not nice," she said quietly but firmly, never taking her eyes off of his. He stared into her eyes for another moment, as if searching for something that only they could tell him, then he hugged her tighter, bringing her closer. 'I don't want to let go.' he thought to himself.

            'I feel so safe with him here. His eyes are so full of. . . I don't know, but it makes me feel so. . . good.    Kagome looked up at his ears. . . she just couldn't resist.

            Inuyasha felt something grab his ear and start scratching it.  He opened his eyes to see Kagome's.  She had a soft smile on her face and he couldn't help but smile too.  "Kagome. . ." Inuyasha said, not really finishing. Kagome looked up to see that he had been staring at her with that searching gaze, and she sheepishly pulled her hand away from his ears.  "Sorry,"she said.  "Don't be," he said, "it feels good." Kagome smiled at him again. 

            Just then the bell rang and Kagome made to move from her spot in Inuyasha's arms.  He just tightened them around her.  She looked back at him, confused.  "Lets just stay here," he said softly, pulling her back to him and smelling her hair.  Gods he loved her hair.  It smelled so good that sometimes he thought he might die without it.  Kagome leaned back into him.  It was then that Kagome noticed that the bell had been for lunch and people were coming out to eat.  Kagome turned to look at Inuyasha and he just smiled so she lay contentedly in his lap.

            The nearest table looked over at them.  The girls were sitting there with dreamy faces and the guys looked angry.  Inuyasha could catch all the gossip that Kagome didn't hear.  "Why don't we ever do that!"  "Yeah it's sooooo romantic." The girls just sighed and the guys just glared at Inuyasha.

            Inuyasha smirked to himself before realizing what they were saying.  He was in a tree with Kagome in his lap and she looked HAPPY!  His smirk just grew.

*** I would stop it there but you guys deserve more, I mean come on a MONTH! ***

            Kagome was feeling quite content sitting in Inuyasha's lap.  Her thoughts wandered to his appearance.  She had NO clue where he had gotten those clothes but she did know that he looked HOT!!!  She decided to find out.

            "Inuyasha?" Kagome said looking up at him and seeing a very large smirk on his face.  "Huh? What!"  Inuyasha said, a little caught off guard at her sudden questioning of his name.  Kagome looked up at him suspiciously as a light blush covered his cheeks. She shrugged it off though, still curious about his clothes.  "Where did you get those clothes?"  Kagome asked.  Inuyasha looked at her, trying to judge her innocent face to see if she might be mad at him.  He just saw curiousness (If thats even a word) in her big eyes. (What color are her eyes?)  "Well . . . umm . . . you see. . . "

**FLASHBACK**

            "Goodbye Kagome"  "Mom,  Where are you going in such a hurry?"  Kagome asked suspiciously.  "Gotta go shopping, first in line, must hurry,"  Ms.  Higurashi never phazed and closed the door.

            Kagome just shrugged it off.  Ms. Higurashi slipped into the car and drove off down the road in the direction of the mall.

            Inuyasha had been hiding in the back seat of the car for an hour now and had heard every word that Kagome and her mother had shared.  He had to admit, Ms. Higurashi was an excellent liar.

            Now that the house was out of view he sat up.  "So?  Where are we going?" Inuyasha asked with curiosity.  "Haven't you ever heard of curiosity killed the cat?"  Ms. Higurashi asked in a good natured tone.  "Feh!  I'm not a dang cat!  I'm a dog demon, and nothing can kill me woman!"  Inuyasha said, with pride. "Don't you call me woman!" Ms. Higurashi said warningly.   Ms. Higurashi rolled her eyes, seeing how her daughter got off about calling him arrogant.  "Feh,"Inuyasha said.

            "So are you going to tell me where we're going?"  Inuyasha asked finally.  "Okay!  We are going shopping!"  Ms. Higurashi said excitedly.  'So she didn't lie.'  "Shopping," naive Inuyasha asked "for what?"  "Clothes," Ms. Higurashi said in a 'Duh' tone.  "For Kagome?"  Asked the ever naive hanyou.  "No, silly.  For you!"  Kagome's mom said, waiting to see his expression. in the mirror.

            "For ME?"  he said, a little shocked.  "Why the heck would I need clothes?  My fire rat suit is just fine!"  Inuyasha said stubbornly.  "You can't wear that to school without drawing attention to yourself!" Ms. Higurashi said patiently.  "Okay!  HOLD IT!!!"  Inuyasha said.  "Who said I'm going to school!?"  "Well if you want to go out with Kagome you have to have an education first,"  she acted as if it was nothing and she said this to everyone.

            Ms. Higurashi smiled a little at his dumfounded expression.  She thought it was so cute.  Inuyasha just humphed stubbornly.

            20 minutes later they reached the mall.  Inuyasha stepped out of the 'car'.  Ms. Higurashi stepped out  the other side and walked over to Inuyasha.  "DON'T DO THAT!  I swear you will ride the bus home by yourself if you do that again!!!"  Ms. Higurashi screamed at him.  Inuyasha wasn't listening, "WoW!  That was fun.  I must admit those seats are comfier than trees.  They're so plushy, I could bounce on those all day!"

(FLASHBACK)  a flashback in a flashback? :)

            * BOUNCY*  * BOUNCY*  * BOUNCY* "INUYASHA. . . STOP  . . BOUNCING ON MY SEATS!  YOU'RE MAKING THE WHOLE CAR MOVE!!!  Ms. Higurashi screamed as the car swerved into the opposite lane than swerved back, narrowly missing a semi-truck.  Inuyasha just laughed and kept bouncing.

(END OF FLASHBACK) 

            Inuyasha grinned sheepishly, finally comprehending what Ms. Higurashi said.   'Aww, he looks like a little kid' thought Kagome's mom, her expression softening.

            They made their way to the mall's entrance and walked in.

A/N Sorry guys. I have to stop it here. Not that anyone should really care because hardly anybody reads this. How sad for me.  Oh Well maybe if I write more people will read it. I guess I should be happy for the reviewers that I have. *hugs*  I want to say I'll have the next chapter out soon but the truth is, that's probably not the truth.  I'm not sure what to write next so it might take a while. . . but not too long.  Don't worry, not that anyone will.
