Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha

A/N: Yeah sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I had my tournament on Sunday (my club came in 4th place out of five teams…we had really good teams in our pool) and then yesterday (Monday) I went to school and felt like crap. I thought it was just because of the tournament because it had taken a lot out of me, turns out that I had a 101.4-degree F. temp when I eventually went to the nurse around 7th period. So that was fun! -_-…So I slept the rest of the day and voila I was better this morning. YAY!!! Hope you all enjoy this chapter. Oh great now my phone doesn't work so guess what this'll be posted on Wednesday…I am SO pissed right now!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Chapter 10- Pay Attention! You Have Been Warned. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome stared in shock at the sudden outburst. "Apparently 'not all our stories are that simple'" Kagome answered Skye as she walked into the room. 

"Oh, that. It makes sense though. It's not very simple what happened, plus it was all over the news and media the morning after it happened. Well see you guys later, I'm going to go downstairs and not even go near my room right now" Skye said to Kagome and Emily. It was directed more towards Kagome though because Emily had been through this before.

"Wait why not?" Kagome asked as Skye turned to leave the room 

"You'll see soon enough and when you do you will want to be as far away from Bry as possible. Trust me" with that Skye turned and left without another word.

"Emily will you tell me?" Kagome asked desperate for an answer from someone. "I don't even know what happened, at least tell me that" 

"I don't know Kagome. It's not that I don't want to tell you it's just something that just isn't brought up…at all" Emily replied with a nervous look about her.

"Can Bry hear us through the wall? I mean it is right next door" 

"No, she can't hear anything through the walls. Not that she would want to anyway" Emily muttered the last part  

"Then just tell me, please. I would like to know what is bothering her so that I know where the source of all that anger is coming from"  

"You noticed then, not many people do. I suppose I can because of this fact and because you're family soooo…ok. I'll tell you" Emily finally gave in "Bry was around eleven when this all happened so it was fairly recent opposed to some. Well not you but you're basically the only exception. Anyway she was sitting in her room and apparently the walls weren't too thick so you could hear through the wall. Her room was right next to a backroom area, and her mother was in there. Her mother was talking to someone that didn't seem familiar. No one thought she was home at the time because she had gone home early that day; her school had early dismissal or something. She made out from the conversation that her mother had arranged for her father, other siblings, and herself to be murdered. The plan went accordingly except she escaped with her siblings, and didn't have enough time to warn her father. They tried to run but they all got shot down before they could get down the street. She survived the shot to her arm but her siblings all died, and her mother was also killed soon after by the hit man because she didn't have enough money to pay for all the murders. It was devastating to her mind the most and I know this because I knew her before. We went to summer camp together; she lived in a different area of the school district so we didn't go to school together yet. Wonderful right?" Emily finished. "I should probably study math for tomorrow" With that she turned to her desk and opened her 'Math B' textbook.   

"That is horrible" Was all Kagome could get out at the moment. "What kind of psycho would want to kill their whole family?" 

"A person that has no goal, no ambition in life. Or rather they are just sick in the head" Emily answered quietly but with ferocity in her voice.

Kagome was taken aback by this and took a few steps backwards away from Emily. There was a red aura steadily growing around her and Kagome didn't want to be around her when it was unleashed. This was no normal girl; this was a powerful girl that had merely hidden her true identity from the world. "I am going to leave now, okay? Ok, bye!!" Kagome quickly turned around and slipped out of the room closing the door behind her. As she did though she came face to face with a pair of golden eyes. "Ummm…yes?" 

"Is Emily in there?" He almost growled

"Yes, she is but I would not go in there. Something very strange is happening and there is a red aura growing around her for some reason" Kagome said while thinking of what it could be. Then something clicked in her mind; her grandfather had said something about creature that looked human but were not. 'What were they called? Oh yes Youkai I believe he said, yes that has to be it' Her eyes grew in realization, yet there was something waving in front of her face. It looked like a peach blur but wait it was a hand. She snapped out of her daze and looked up the silver haired boy was still in front of her.

"Could you move?" He said to Kagome with an annoyed tone in his voice.

"Fine" Kagome said as she stepped aside and let him enter the room. By this time the whole room was filled with this red light. He went up to Emily and flicked a switch; all the red disappeared and then he put his hand on the back of her head and shoved it down into her desk.

"That's for almost cracking my skull before; don't worry your nose isn't broken, just bruised. Just like my reputation, getting beat by a girl yeah everyone will have a great laugh at that. Oh and you took the red light again" He took a red light bulb and from the device that displayed it and walked out of the room. "See ya later Emily" He called back when he was at the top of the stairs.

"DAMN YOU INU-YASHA!" Emily finally picked her head up from the table's surface and yelled this at him. He acknowledged this with a wave of a hand and walked down the flight of steps, out the door and across the street to his house. Kagome watched this with wide eyes and gazed at Emily.

"You tricked me" Kagome said

"Yep, and it worked damn well I think…well except for Inu-Yasha always ruining it just when it's at it's best" Emily looked over to Kagome "But it was really funny, you should see the look on your face right now. It's hilarious" Emily then threw her head back and laughed but it wasn't normal it was her evil laugh for when she felt like being evil…very scary!  

"BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!" Kagome shouted. She had meant to say 'not to me' but she was so mad that it slipped out in Japanese.

"Ok, what did you just say anyway?" Emily asked  

"She said 'NOT TO ME'" a muffled voice was heard from the next room. 

Emily and Kagome: 0.0…blink, blink…0.0  

~~The next morning (1st period health)~~

Kagome sat in her usual seat but was moved to a seat in the back because someone needed to be moved up. She ended up sitting in front of Miroku and diagonal from Inu-Yasha. She wasn't too sure about this seating arrangement because of Miroku. He was a Hentai through and through. She sat straight up and as far away from him as her desk allowed. Which wasn't very far but it was some distance. 

As the class progressed she was so focused on not being near Miroku that she didn't hear anything the teacher said. It was like the grown ups in Charlie Brown, muah muah muah muah muah. Muag muah Kagome muah muah! "Huh?" She snapped her head up and found the teacher at the front of the room asking her a question, "Can you repeat the question?" Kagome asked  

"Exactly my point. You Miss.Higurashi have just gotten yourself after school detention" The teacher handed her a green slip with the date, time, and room she was to report to after school. She slumped back in her seat and stared at the green slip. She paid attention the rest of the period and day not wanting to get another detention for not paying attention. At 2:45pm when the last bell rang she went to her locker that she had been assigned and took the books she needed from it. She said see ya to various people and made her way down to the detention hall. It was literally a room marked with the words 'Detention Hall' on it. In actuality it was a classroom but wasn't used for anything but disciplining students. As she stepped into the room she noticed the desks were in bad shape and had pen and pencil marks all over each one. The whole room looked shabby, light covers were missing, the chalkboard was cracked a little, and the teacher that looked over the students didn't look too well either. She handed the teacher the slip and took a seat in the middle row at the back. She looked around and noticed a couple people from her classes. There was someone who looked remotely like the Inu-Yasha boy but he looked more mature and better groomed. He however still had the silver hair and similar clothes as Inu-Yasha. There was someone she didn't know and then her eyes landed on a familiar red headed boy. He was in the seventh grade and she realized it was Shippo. 'What did he do this time' she wondered Her eyes scanned the room and there was no one else that she could recognize.

Everyone else in the room basically either had their hair dyed and wore almost all black, or wore tight shirts and pants, or the other extreme insanely baggy jeans and shirts such that the jeans were falling off and the shirts just made them look overly underweight. The teacher walked out of the room muttering something about coffee and the whole room shifted. Everyone talked to one another and it seemed they knew each other quite well. Shippo came up to her and stood there. "Kagome? Could you not tell that I was in detention?" He asked

Kagome looked at him and said finally "Only if you don't tell anyone I was in detention either" 

"Ok! Done, you got it" He walked over to his seat and sat back down looking thoroughly relived.    

'Heh! What he doesn't know is everyone already knew I had detention, thanks to Inu-Yasha. Hey isn't he supposed to be here too?' Kagome thought to herself (who else can you think to?) She looked around and there was no sign of him. She looked down at the desk and stared into space.

~~Flashback~~

The end of first period hadn't come soon enough for Kagome. For the rest of the class she suffered having her hair being touched by none other than Miroku who 'just CAN'T seem to contain himself'. As she left the classroom she turned on Miroku and punched him in the face for it.

"Ouch! That was uncalled for" Miroku said as he recovered from the punch. It wasn't as hard as Bry's punch but it still had effect.  

"Yes, it was blah blah" Kagome said in a dangerous tone. Miroku blinked and it seemed he had no idea what she had said. So Kagome said it slower but with the same venom as before "Yes,…it…was…called…for" 

"Oh, well what makes you think that?"

Kagome glared at him and turned to go to her next class. She felt something brush against her and without thinking she turned around and hit the closest thing to Miroku…Inu-Yasha. "Oh! I'm very sorry! I didn't mean to hit you I was actually trying to blah blah blah blah blah" She finished as she slowly backed away from the enraged boy.  There was a mark where she had hit him on his face. He snatched a mirror from a girl passing in the hallway and examined his face. He got even madder when he saw the damage done.

"You're gonna PAY!" He spat out in her direction. Kagome turned and ran but she was too slow. Soon Inu-Yasha was in front of her and he didn't look like he was gonna just curse her out. 

"Ok, I know you are angry. It wasn't on purpose though, it was a accident. I was trying to hit Miroku" Kagome stuttered. She moved away backwards without looking where she was going and fell backwards. She saw as she fell that if she hadn't fallen at that exact moment her face would have three scratch marks on them, most likely with thin lines of blood coming out.  

Then Inu-Yasha fell to the floor and stayed there. The bell rang but everyone in the hall ignored it. A girl with soft brown hair and violet eyes stood over Inu-Yasha. A teacher came up and handed him a yellow detention slip. The girl went over and helped Kagome up off the ground. "Long time no see, Kagome" Sango said 

~~End Flashback~~

Kagome snapped her head up from her daze and found that someone else had entered the room. None other than Inu-Yasha himself. He scanned the room and upon seeing Kagome took a seat as far away from her as he could get. She looked back down at the desk and started to read what was on the desk. There was a lot written; things like I 3 Joe, School Sucks, F*** You, School prepares you for the real world and that sucks too… when she was finished reading all the vulgar words she decided to put her own writing on the desk. It was already very cluttered with words but she found an empty space and wrote 'Inu-Yasha is such an a$$hole'. Feeling confident that this was the correct term she looked back up and waited for the rest of the detention duration to be over.

A/N: EXTRA LONG!! Yay! I didn't think I could write so much but I did. Sorry if I didn't answer anyone's reviews but I haven't been online yet because the phone is not working, so I can't go online.
