Beyond the wiring

Chapter seven

School and in a deep sleep

Kagome sat next to Inuyasha trying to avoid all the stares she was getting from boys and girls alike, she turned to Inuyasha a nervous look on her face. Setting her jaw in determination, she stared right back fending off their glares and stares. (A/N:Hey it rhymes!)

Just then the teacher waltzed into the room his appearance frazzled and untame, Kagome sat there agape.

What happened to the poor man?

He looked like he went through a tornade, quietly she turned to Inuyasha with a puzzled look on her face. Inuyasha only mouthed what looked like 'I'll tell you later, turn around stupid'

"Class, we have a new student please stand up Miss. Higurashi"

Kagome shyly stood up staring at her feet like it was the most interesting thing in the world. She fumbled with the hem of her skirt trying to ignore the jeers and catcalls she recieved from the boys and glares she received from the girls.

"Ah! Shaddap"

Kagome turned around quickly facing Inuyasha, did he just defend her?

Kagome gave him a small smile, Inuyasha returned the smile giving her a wink. 'He did' she thought happily, 'Maybe he isn't such a jerk after all'

The girls were jealous the boys were just plain speechless, did Inuyasha the school tough guy/popular jock just defend the new girl? But didn't he have a thing with the presidents daughter, Kikyo Takara?

Kagome sat back in her seat noticing all the of looks she and Inuyasha received, "You heard the guy shut up, turn around, and mind your own business!"with that said she gave a smug smile winking at Inuyasha.

*Ring*

The bell rang signaling homeroom was over and period one began, she followed Inuyasha around like a lost puppy hanging around wherever he went.

Kagome sat in the back next to Inuyasha, warily watching the teacher write calculus on the white board. The class groaned everybody knew Saitoji- sensei's calculus was one of the hardest courses in the year. Kagome blinked, what was everybody groaning about?

The equations on the board seemed easy enough, what was the problem?

"Kagome please solve the equation on the board"

Kagome grudgingly got up from her desk and headed to the board, she took the marker out of Saitoji-sensei's waiting hand. Her eyes focusing on the equation and within minutes she was done. He was stunned, she had gotten the equation correct and her explaination was ethreal it looked like something out of einstein's book.

"Correct, Higurashi"

Inuyasha sat unamazed, knowing Kagome he knew she'd pull something like this after all she was a humanoid and like his father said, "Kagome comes with a data bank filled with incredible information that even we humans didn't know"

Kagome sat back her seat with a bored expression on her face, was this really what school was like? No wonder people hated it, it was downright boring she thought the mansion was more interesting than this and maybe the washing machine incident that happened a while ago.(A/N: Kagome thinks like lavender *-*;)

Kagome was brought of out her reverie by the ringing of the bell, she stood up waiting for Inuyasha to lead her to her next class.

*Ring*

Inuyasha dragged her across the campus and into a large building pushing her into the girls locker room.

"In your bag there is a uniform change into that"

Kagome did what she was told staring at her reflection in the girl's locker room mirror, clad in a loose dreay shirt that had the school's logo and navy blue shorts that ended two inches above her knee. Her hair tied into a high ponytail, her navy blue ribbon adorning it.

She filed out with the rest of the girls and headed into middle of the gym where everybody else was, they handed out bows and a quil of arrows to everybody.

She arched a brow, 'Archery? I guess this must be what they call physical education or P.E?'

"Archery very simple but the number one rule don't aim at anyone or anything except the targets. B.E.G.I.N!"

Kagome readied her bow ready to shoot when a arrow got to the target first, she faced the direction where the arrow came from. Only to lock with those oh-so familiar michevious amber eyes, she smirked 'this is war'

Kagome looked at the bow in her hands, how would she compete if she didn't know how?

She felt a tap on her shoulder, "I can teach you if you want, so how bout it?"

She nodded, blushing on the sudden contact as he postioned her body to shoot, he went postioned his arms with his own and showed her how to use the bow. He wrapped his arms around her body lifting her arms and guiding them. He pulled his arms back and told her to let go the target hitting dead center.

"Thanks Inuyasha" (A/N: You guys were wondering who 'he' was?)

Inuyasha blushed, he remembered the contact and wrapping his arms around........Inuyasha shook his head.

'Get your mind out of the gutter' he thought to himself.

Kagome flashed him a wicked smile, she postioned herself just like he told her too and pulled back her hand and released the arrow spliting the other arrow and hitting the bullseye. She gave a triumphant smirk, 'beat that Inuyasha!'

This continued on until the bell rang, Kagome scowled somehow she would beat him they were still tied and they needed a tie-breaker. She came out of the locker room changed and soaking wet, Inuyasha's fangirls from her previous classes decided to pour a bucket of ice cold water on her as some sort of warning to stay away from their 'beloved Inuyasha'.

She wasn't a happy camper when Inuyasha asked her what was wrong she only scowled and pointed to a bunch of of giggling girls giving Inuyasha what looked like a seductive look. They only arched a brow and laughed at the girls poor attempt to lure him to them.

Inuyasha stared worriedly at Kagome's soaking form and well the fabric was clinging to every curve and you could see through her shirt since it was white.

"Inuyasha I'm fine" she whispered

"But I can see right through your shirt" He whispered back. Kagome blushed crossing her arms over chest protectively. Inuyasha handed her his blazer, a reddish tinge spreading to his cheeks. She gratefully took it wrapping it around her wet figure.

"Thanks"

"Feh"

She rolled her eyes, typical Inuyasha being the usual jerk he is but somehow it didn't bother her as much as before.

"Hey Inuyasha we haven't settled out score yet"

"Fine how bout we race after school in the track field whoever wins will have to be his or her slave for a week" he declared.

"Fine remind your dad that you lost a bet so I don't get in trouble" She added playful wagging her finger.

Inuyasha snorted, "In your dreams wench"

Kagome sighed, there he was with the whole wench thing again was it so hard to say her real name. That got her thinking why did they called her Higurashi was that her last name?

"My name is Kagome! KA-GO-ME!"(A/N: Gotta love that quote)

"Whatever!"

"Inuyasha?"

"hn?"

"Do you know anybody with the name Higurashi?"

"It was Kikyo's middle name.." he replied his eyes glazed over with a dazed expression on his face.

"Oh..." Her voice faltered, did Inutashio do this on purpose? Why did she have Kikyo's middle name as her last name? Maybe it was just a mistake......But still why was registered under her deceased counter-parts middle name. Why was she always reminded of Kikyo wherever she went she was reminded of her. She felt so distant from them she wouldn't exist beside them if she didn't die.....it made her think she was just a replacement of someone who was long gone someone who she was made after but she was someone else someone different...

"Kagome? come on we've got third period" Inuyasha's voice cutting though her thoughts.

"Oh yeah let's go then"

Inuyasha followed after her puzzled, Was it something he said?

Inuyasha walked into the classroom his hands stuffed into his pockets, Kagome trailing close behind.

They sat at the table in the back waiting for the class to begin, The teacher greeted them handing out sketching paper and charcoal pieces to draw with. Kagome stared at them quizzically, before picking up the charcoal and began to glide it across the paper adding a few strokes here or there. After a few minutes she was finished setting the charcoal to the side, meekly trying to cover up her work only to smear the charcoal.

Inuyasha grabbed it from under she closed arms to look at her questionly, she drew me with dog ears?

'It reminds me of a legend I once heard when I was a child of the dog demon, the priestess, and the school girl who over came time.' he thought staring at the paper as if recalling a memory.

Inuyasha grabbed his paper and picked up the charcoal unaware of what he was really doing, when he finished he set down his chalk and looked at his drawing. On one side there was Kikyo in miko robes and on the other there was Kagome sitting on a well holding a bow and a quils of arrows.

Kagome stared at the paper with the utmost suprise, I drew him and he drew me and Kikyo.......

It drove her to her previous thoughts....Was she only a replacement.......Why was she always reminded of Kikyo?.....

Kagome shook those thoughts away hearing the praise from the art teacher, "Beautiful work Kagome, Inuyasha!"

"Oh thank you" Kagome said softly bowing slightly.

She sat quietly for the rest of the period, waiting foe class to be done silently wishing the period would end soon. Her wish was granted as she headed out the door waiting for Inuyasha to file out so she'd know where she had to go next or what they would do next.

She watched Inuyasha's figure manuever his way through the crowds, she pushed her way through the hall only to watch him go into the bathroom. She leaned against one the lockers waiting for Inuyasha to come out.

"Hey babe would ya mind getting off my locker for a bit?" a husky voice whispered in her ear. She turned around sharply coming face to face with Kouga. "Ah you must be the new girl?" Kouga smiled clasping her hands with his, "You will be my new woman"

"I don't even know you" she hissed harshly detatching arms from him.

"You don't know how to keep your hands to your self huh Kouga?" Inuyasha said smugly pushing Kagome behind him.

"Fuck off"

"Whatever"

Inuyasha walked away with Kagome close behind, leaving Kouga to ponder. He would get the new girl no matter what it took. Kouga smirked he would challenge Inuyasha for it, he knew that dog breath couldn't resist a challenge. But what would the challenge be?

-----

Kagome yawned tiredly sleeping on the cafeteria table not bothering to eat. Sango glanced at Kagome worriedly seeing her friend in exhausted condition.

"S'okay I fine" her words slurred

With one last yawn, her systems suspended putting her into a deep sleep. After lunch Kagome still wouldn't wake up and lunch was almost over. (A/N: Please don't hate me duck and cover *hides in bomb shell AHHH the evil marshmallows!!!)

"Kagome?"

"Kagome?"

Sango shook her trying to wake her up, Sango expressioned turned from worried to panicked as continued to shake her.

She didn't respond they only heard her systems give whirring sounds and beeps, Inuyasha carried her bridal style and dashed to the office.

"Call my father" he barked.

The secretary scurried to the principle's office, obviously questioning wether to call his father or not, the secretary came out a few minutes later her hair a bit frazzled.

"Please come in"

Inuyasha hastily came in trying not to drop Kagome's limp body, brushing a strand of hair away from her face he turned to face the principle.

"What's wrong with her?" She asked.

"Principle Kaede, can you call my father he might know what to do"

"Sure"

She quickly dialed the phone while fumbling the phone cord. "Hello Inutashio Higurashi has fainted do ye know what to do with her?"

"Bring her and my son home"

"Okay,bye"

"Inuyasha a limo is going to pick you up and bring ye home, don't worry you'll be excused from ye classes"

He nodded in agreement cradling Kagome in his arms, he thanked Kaede before heading out the office to wait in the parking lot.

A limo halted in front of him beeping him to get in, he obliged stepping in. He placed Kagome on the seat wondering why she wouldn't wake up.

He stared at passing scenery, hoping they would get back home faster.
