Gambling Dreams

Chapter Two

"And so when you cancel out the exponents, your left with the variables-" Mr. Tushima, the math professor, droned on in his monotonous tone that sent Kagome straight to Cloud 9. It was bad enough she only got five hours of sleep, but this was way too much. She figured she knew everything already and started to doze staring off into the window next to her. It was a cold day with no sunshine befitting her drowsy mood. She laid her head on her arms pretending to take notes then slipped her eyes closed...

-----------------------

She started out in a plane of space. Then a maze shot up out of the ground surrounding her and obscuring everything else from view. Kagome knew it was a dream because it was way to crazy to be in reality but giving way to her imagination, she decided to look for the center. She heard once that if you place one hand on the wall you'll eventually find the way out. Well, after what seemed like walking forever and encountering many dead ends, she felt like she as back where she started. Okay, now she was stumped. She was trying to figure out a way to bypass the walls when she heard the distinct growl of what she presumed a really hungry animal. She froze and the animal sound deepened and caused her hair to stand on end. Without a thought, she broke into a run trying to gain as much space form her and the beast but it didn't seem to be working very well for every step she took, it sprang four . Then all she could hear was the terrible rasping sound of the creature's breathing and the low rumbling deep in its throat and feel the burning emotion of fear.

-----------------------

The bell rung shaking her out of the seemingly real life experience. Se sat frozen there while other people around her packed up started leaving. Not wanting to look like a fool, she hurriedly threw her notebook and binder into her backpack and dashed out shoving people when necessary. Kagome went to the bathroom and turned on the cold water splashing her face. Other girls waited in line for the stalls and some were gossiping quite loudly but she ignored them and stared hard at herself in the mirror. There was a crack in the glass, seven years bad luck to that lucky gal. It cut across her face splitting it in half almost vertically. It was a dream, not reality. She firmly agreed with herself and wiped her face of the extra water. As she dried off her hands, the two girls were still blabbering loudly and so she listened in.

"Did you see Inuyasha after gym? My gosh he is to die for!"

"Yeah. He's top in every single class, talented in sports, and hella sexy in this bad boy sort of way, its so enticing!" the second girl sighed and placed a hand against one cheek, "What I'd do to hook up with him..."

The first girl snorted, "In your dreams, he seems to have caught Mica's attention. He doesn't know what's coming for him. He's already caught hook, line and sinker. You can kiss your dreams goodbye."

"yeah but I wish-"

Kagome left tired of the chatter of the two girls. Like two screws driving into her head, it was annoying and almost brought her to the point of screaming out loud. Whoever Inuyasha was she felt sorry for him, caught before even knowing yet, poor sap. Mica by the sound of it was an experienced slut. She silently prayed for him though she didn't know what to pray for. Maybe she'd totally embarrass herself in front of him, that would lose his interest into her for sure. The air outside smelled like wet grass and coldness. She zipped up her black Cherokee jacket and made way to her tree. It was the farthest in the courtyard but as she came closer, she already saw others inhabit the giant oak.

Too tired to do anything about it, she sat down on an empty bench a couple of feet away and stared at the group. There was Sango who was what looked like in an argument with a black haired boy in her math class. She believed that his name was Miroku, a pervert by reputation. Then there was a white haired youkai who was leaning against HER tree staring off into space. He was one amongst the small population of youkai in this school. He had long white hair with white ears that flickered every so often at the slight drizzle of rain. The eyes the color of burning gold. At that moment he looked straight at her and she couldn't move. She sat frozen just watching him like he was watching her. She felt like a deer caught in headlights, motionless.

Inuyasha was half way to smacking Miroku and laughing at how stupid Sango and he were acting. Sango caught Miroku copying homework for science. Miroku, though incredibly smart, was too lazy last from last night to do any of it. Sango meanwhile was giving him an earful on organization skills and being punctual. He began to star off into space when it started to lightly drizzle. Then he felt the burn of eyes gazing at him. He looked up and then his eyes locked immediately to a pair of blue ones. The girl was sitting in a bench directly opposite from them. She didn't flinch as most people did at the sight of him. In awe or fear, he couldn't tell, but he knew that she wasn't afraid of him, just wary.

The clicking of heels brought his attention to a girl walking purposely to him. He's ears flickered. Blonde brown hair waved stylishly to mid back. Her uniform was tight around the hips and her cheeks were red because of the cold. Her lips were painted red drawing his eyes instantly to them. Three friends stood nearby though tried to act inconspicuous. Sango and Miroku stopped their chatter to watch her arrival.

"Ah oh, looks like Inuyasha's in for something." Sango said. The girl approached and smiled slowly showing white teeth.

"Hey Inuyasha, my name is Mica. I was wondering if you have Trig with Mr. Tushima?"

"You know he does." Sango murmured so only Miroku and Inuyasha by his outstanding hearing could hear.

"Yah, I do." he grinned at her. "Why?"

"I was wondering if you mind helping me with my math homework. I can't seem to understand any of it and my ditzy friends," she indicated with a slight motion of her head to three giggling heads, "can't tell the difference from one equation to another . Can you please help?"

"Sure." he stood after leaning against the tree and went with her as she started walking back inside to the buildings, the three friends trailing behind.

"Oh thank you SO much. I need to do good on the next test." she flashed another smile. Inuyasha grinned back, "No problem." he looked back over his shoulder at a snickering Miroku and Sango. He winked at them then went with her.

"I don't know whether to feel sorry for Mica or Inuyasha." Sango sighed and leaned against the abandoned tree.

"Miroku smiled at her, "I personally feel sorry for Mica, I don't think she knows what's coming for her. Though she does seem like a smart ditz if you know what I mean."

'Yeah I know." The bell rung and they parted. Sango watched Miroku a bit then went inside the English building.

"You must be Kagome," Professor Halkei said looking at Kagome as she came in with the other students, "Where is your uniform?"

"I haven't gotten it yet." she said thinking of the package under her bed.

"I see. Well, Kagome, welcome to my class. I expect you to behave as you do in your old school. Please take a seat in the back behind Inuyasha, by the window."

She looked at her seat and then came across the white haired dude from before. He was looking at her but glanced away when she met eyes with him. Ah, this must be Inuyasha. So the girl from before must be Mica. She walked past him without looking at him and sat down. His ears twitched back then forward and she resisted the urge to smile. During the middle of class while Professor Halkei was deep in the lectures, she decided to warn the youkai.

She yawned and threw a piece of paper over his shoulder. He froze for a second, glanced at the teacher and then read the note.

She's using you. Your using her.

Inuyasha frowned. That Kagome girl threw a note at him that he couldn't even understand. First he was caught way off guard when he realized Kagome, the ace wonder, was the girl in black, from the bench with startling blue eyes. Not the nerdy type that he'd expect. He scribbled something back and threw in over his shoulder when he pretended to scratch his head.

What?

Kagome rolled her eyes, was this dense guy the same person the girls in the bathroom were swooning about? Instead of writing a note, she leaned on her elbows and whispered into his ear,

"Mica is using you, and you to her. Stop being such a slut." then promptly sat down.

He wanted to ask her, no demand her what she meant when the bell rung. Above the clatter the teacher was yelling the homework, page 899 problems 1-30 odds. He repeated it to himself then turned around to a missing seat. She already left frustrating him. Cool rage built up inside of him as he threw his things into his bag and stomped off meeting Miroku who was already outside with a questionable look on his face,

"What's wrong?" he asked as the walked down the hall.

"That girl Kagome said that Mica was using me and I was using her. Then she called be a slut that bitch."

He whistled, "Wow, that coming from an A student was kinda harsh. Though you are sorta using Mica."

"Yeah well, wait till I catch her and get an explanation out from her." Inuyasha said., "I'll find her soon enough. After I scare her into oblivion." he bared his fangs in an evil smirk.

He had no idea how right he was.

An -SO SORRY! I know this was really crappy but I desperately need to do my math homework now. AHH! Okay, so I read and found some errors. I'm SO SORRY. I'll make it up to you guys with an extra long chapter next time okay? Okay, see you soon!
