Disclaimer: We don't own Inuyasha! :)
School Rules Chapter 11: It's the Stupid Necklace's Fault!
Okay. that whole not-being-gruff-thing-to-make-Kagome-smile thing was hard. Inuyasha just wasn't use to showing his emotions. You know, demons and hanyous have to survive and letting a demon read your next move in a battle because he saw your emotions, and strike you down was not high on his list.
But some times he did get out of control with his anger. So what? Everyone does, look at Kagome for instance. So calm and peaceful and happy . . . then BAM she's sitting you to America (for those of you who don't get it, let me try to explain. Kagome lives in Japan. Japan is (somewhat) next to China so I thought I would turn around 'Digging to China' (or whatever it is). Maybe I should make it Canada or Mexico.) or till you can't get up again. Which ever comes first.
But, then again, every time Inuyasha acted nice or smiled Kagome would smile back that oh-I'm-so-sweet-and-innocent-look-at-me smile. It was worth it.
They were currently making their way to the front gate of the school.
"So, what class do we have first?" Inuyasha asked.
"Oh, we have UIL. You'll love this class!!" Kagome told him. With that they made their way to their lockers and dropped off their things. "So, what is 'UIL'?" Inuyasha asked paying close attention to the turns they made down the halls and realized they were heading back out side.
"It's like running and jumping or sometimes the guys do wrestling or football-" Kagome supplied.
"What's 'foot-bowl'?" Inuyasha interrupted.
"Football is a game humans play that consists of a ball and a field that is 100 yards wide. I don't know much about it but we could get you a couple books from the library." Inuyasha didn't really hear much after game as his gaze fell on to what appeared a building with no roof, a really big building that had a fence with what looked like 'wi-er' (wire) or whatever Kagome called that hard substance, in rolls at the top.
"Oh look we're here!?" Kagome exclaimed.
"Where exactly is here!?" Inuyasha asked, his gaze never leaving the small little pieces of 'wier' that stuck out in random parts of the other bigger pieces.
"The football stadium of course" she answered. When she realized Inuyasha wasn't paying attention she followed his gaze to the fence, "What's wrong Inuyasha?"
"What are those?" he asked, walking up and pointing to the little pieces of the 'wier' sticking out but was ready to pull his finger back incase it tried to bite him or something. If there was one thing he learned from the future, it was to 'expect the unexpected, even if you don't expect it' or something like that. His point was that anything in the future shouldn't be trusted until you knew exactly what it was. Yeah, that sounded about right.
"Oh. those are barbs. You know, like on roses they have thorns. It's called barbed wire and it keeps people from sneaking in. well most of the time at least." She finished with a thoughtful expression.
"That's stupid. Why would anybody try to get in that way when they could walk right through the gate?! You humans are soo stupid!" Inuyasha said while he stuck his nose in the air.
"I think you're mistaken, Inuyasha. You looked over the fact that the gate" at this she pointed to the part that swung open to allow entrance, "has a lock." And sure enough sitting or more like hanging from the gate was a chain with a big, heavy lock. "It's there so when they lock the gate nobody climbs the fence." Kagome finished smartly.
"Feh" was the only reply after she so graciously explained it to him. Go figure.
************************UIL****************************
"Hurry up ladies! Today we'll be weight lifting." A coach called out causing all the girls to scramble to the nearby bleachers where they did their stretches.
Kagome glanced across the field to where the boys were slipping out of their locker room, searching for Inuyasha. Class would be starting soon. She heard from Hojo that the boys were starting track today and she wanted to tell Inuyasha before the harsh reality known as the student body, ridiculed him for not knowing.
"Where is he?" she whined.
***************************Boy's locker room**********************
The coaches had just handed out the guy's track clothes and went to wait out on the field.
Inuyasha just stared at the bag then he glanced around to find everyone changing and mimicked them. After a wild struggle (that he could have sworn a couple guys ran out of that room having coughing attacks) he managed the sweat pants, shirt, and shoes on but decided it was to hot for the sweater, he slowly made his way outside. His rosary swayed with his movements, its odd color sticking out.
Once there he saw Kagome waving frantically for him to come over. He complied.
"What is it?" he asked calmly.
"I just thought that I would tell you you're doing Track. Today I think you're just running but the coaches will tell you."
"Running? This class is going to be easier than I thought!" Inuyasha said aloud.
"Wait Inuyasha! You can't use all your powers-"
"Why not?!" he argued.
"Because people are already suspicious. No need for them to know that demons exist, don't be stubborn. Anyways, you'll still beat them all. They're human for Christ's sake!" at the last part all the girls turned to stare at her like she was crazy. Then. they noticed Inuyasha.
"Oh.. hi Inuyasha!"
"When's our date Inu-baby?"
"He's not going out with you, he's mine!" and so on and so forth.
Kagome tried to act like she couldn't care less until she heard the word date. Date! Since when did Inuyasha go on dates!!? Her face turned red and she turned in fury about to hit whichever girl said that but was interrupted.
"Hey! Social time is over. Get back over here boy!" at the sound of the coach Inuyasha turned red and was about to go 'teach him a thing or two' for being ordered around but Kagome broke off his train of thought.
"Hurry up, Inuyasha. You'll be late!" Kagome didn't realize it but she just saved that man's life.
"Feh" was all she heard before he made his way across the field to the guys.
"Okay we'll start with stretching then you'll be timed in a sprint" the coach said then started to look at each individual, sizing them up, "then you will continue with the meter run- Inuyasha, I'm not sure if your other school had this policy but you're not allowed to wear jewelry during UIL. Take it off."
"Huh!" was Inuyasha's oh so smart reply.
"I said take it off!" the coach said more audible. The guys started to whisper stuff like "He wears jewelry" and "Well it makes him look more like his girlfriends" and started to laugh.
Saying Inuyasha was pissed was an understatement! Before he said anything he saw Kagome coming from the corner of his eye.
"Um. excuse me. Is there a problem?" Kagome asked the coach.
"Oh no, except Pretty-boy here won't take off his necklace."
"But coach I can't take it off!" Inuyasha tried but before he could fit any more in a burst of laughter cut him off followed by many more.
"Can't take it off.? Why not? You haven't even tried." The coach retorted.
"Coach, we've tried before but won't come off!" Kagome tried desperately.
"Ha! Then let me have a go!" the coach said and with out waiting for an answer waltzed up to Inuyasha and calmly picked up the necklace. Painfully slow, he lifted and it felt as if everyone was holding their breath waiting for the outcome.
It seemed as if the coach had stopped right before slipping it over Inuyasha's head but the way he bent his arms and how he brought the rosary down and yanked it back up ruined it.
"What's the matter? Can't do it?" Inuyasha taunted.
"No it's just stuck, is all" and with that the coach started to yank it again, that is, until it started glowing. With a startled cry, he dropped it.
"What's happening?" the coach managed.
"It won't come off."
(Caitlin you can do the explanation part. I'm tired. It's an honor many wish to have and I'm giving it to you. so don't disappoint me) (My friend is so nice, handing over this chapter to me! This is the only thing she's written since the 2nd chapter so everybody congratulate her and tell her she's done a wonderful job! I'm SO proud of you! ^_^)
"Here, just let me try again," the coach moved forward.
"Ooooh no! You are not touching this again! I don't want some freakshow trying to choke me!" Inuyasha had enough. He had let the coach try for Kagome's benefit, but if she thought he was about to let the class and coach line up and tug off his head, she had another thing coming!
The coach stared at him, shocked. The new kid had just called him a FREAKSHOW! Who did he think he was?!
"Inuyasha. Calm down. It's okay," Kagome tried to reassure him. She put her arm on his, showing him everything was okay. She didn't want to have to 'sit' him if things got out of hand. THAT was unexplainable.
He turned to look at her. His eyes flashed something, but it was gone in an instant, to quick for her to understand it.
Kagome turned to look at the boys' coach, trying to gauge his reaction to Inuyasha's outburst. It didn't look to good if his read face was anything to show.
"Look, coach, he's just really worked up over this subject, okay. I think it would be best if you didn't do anything about it, the necklace that is," Kagome knew that she was, for the first time ever, telling a teacher what to do. Was that aloud?
The coach turned to look at her, his face still shocked. Was she telling him what to do? Did these kids know anything? The room had gone quiet, everyone was watching this scene play out.
"Have you no respect? Either of you?" the coach turned his head, viewing them both. "I don't know where you went to school before Inuyasha, but here teachers are not called 'freakshows'." He spoke to them as if they were six and in need of a good reprimanding.
"Higurashi, I would have expected better from you. I will punish my students with the punishment they deserve, that's final," coach surveyed them through narrow eyes.
Kagome knew they were in for it. It was an unfair punishment though, and she knew it. She turned to see that Inuyasha was glaring daggers at the coach. 'Stubborn as usual.'
"Coach, with all due respect, this really isn't-"
"Higurashi, that's enough! You will assist Inuyasha in his punishment! Inuyasha! You're running laps. Kagome, sense you are the voice of reason- no matter how un-respectful that voice is-Inuyasha will carry you! 3 laps, NOW!"
Coach seemed to think that was a gracious punishment for them both. He knew Kagome would hate being carried around by this boy-or any boy for that matter. She just wasn't like that. Inuyasha was sure to be struggling too. Oh yes, this was good.
The whole class gathered around the track to watch Inuyasha and Kagome.
They both walked to the beginning of the track. Before Inuyasha hefted her onto his back, they needed to talk.
"Inuyasha, listen to me. You can NOT use your full power. It's not safe for them to witness it. It would seem like a major epiphany to everyone and the press would come swarming!" she looked to see if he got her point. He stared at her, not comprehending anything after 'major'.
Kagome sighed and moved to his back, "Just don't do it okay?" He turned his head and smirked at her.
"If everyone here is a slow as you are, I could jog and be a blur," Kagome saw his eyes sparkle with amusement. She was going to hit him, but thought better. The crowd was already in for the show of their lives!
