Um…I guess I'll put up chapter 1!!!
Chapter 1
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome's next subject, well, class, was lunch. As soon as the bell rang, she quickly gathered her things together and headed out of the room. Quickly she got to her locker and only to find it had been sabotaged. There were humiliating notes stuck to it, warnings and other things that made Kagome mad. She had tears forming, but never let them fall. She just pulled them off and threw them away. Managing to make it to her next class with no trouble, Kagome looked around the room for an available seat in the back, but they were all occupied. So she took one as secluded as she could get them. Approaching the desk, Kagome set her books down and was about to sit down, but the jerk behind her pulled her chair out from under her before she could sit down. She fell with a loud *thud* causing most of the class to look and see what happened. Then the laughing began.
It had happened at her old schools. Always the butt of the jokes, no matter how cruel. Here, it was just as bad. At her old school, the pranks were worse. But now, here, they were just getting started.
Kagome picked her self up, ignoring the rude comments being tossed around the room. She looked back to see who had done it, and saw a girl, but not any girl. She had to be "the girl". That annoying brat Kikyo. "Whoops! My foot slipped…Sorry about that!" She spoke sarcastically.
"Yea. Sure." Kagome held her tongue and sat down, making sure her chair wasn't going anywhere.
The man at the front of the class began, "Well, good afternoon class. It seems that we have a class clown today! Does someone have a joke they'd like to tell, Ms. Kikyo?"
The girl just put on a noticeably fake smile. "No sir. Everything's just fine. You can begin your class now."
"Alright. Let's begin with what we started last week. Everyone pull out your scripts. We'll begin picking parts now that you've had all weekend to work on them, right?" Several groans from the class erupted, but nonetheless, they continued. "Why don't we have our new student, Ms. Kagome, read for us. Won't you?" He asked nodding at the silent girl.
"Uh, I would sir, but I never received a copy. If you would happen to have an extra, I'd be happy to read."
"Could we have you share with Kikyo behind you? She seems more than willing to agree, correct?" Mr. Mitoshi (more made up…) said pointing to the girl seated right behind Kagome.
"Y-yes. Of course." She stuttered. Slowly, she turned around to read off of Kikyo's copy. But before she got half way turned around, the door clicked open. Casually walking in was a laid back silver-hair boy.
"Oh, Mr. Yomitsu. You've decided to join us."
The boy named Yomitsu just gave a smirk and took a seat in the front of the room. "So, what'd I miss?"
"We are deciding parts for the class reading. Mind beginning for us?" Mr. Mitoshi asked.
"I guess." Inuyasha got his script slowly out of his binder and opened to somewhere in the book. " 'I've decided that I can't do this anymore. Kyoko, I can't do this. You cause me so much trouble. Why'd I ever decide to be with you.'"
Kagome decided that she'd read because she'd be requested to before. " 'But Koji…what did I do to deserve this? Can't we forget our past and put it behind us? I know we were never on the best of terms, but…I need you.'" Kagome looked over at the silver haired hanyou. When she looked over at him, he was looking back at her, like that wasn't part of the script. What could he be thinking? All I did was read the script…
"Mr. Yomitsu, care to continue?" The teacher asked.
Inuyasha shook his thoughts from his head and turned back to the script.
"Alright, I'll assign you your parts and give them to you tomorrow. *dingaling-a-ling* See you all tommrrow." The students all got up and walked out of the class. But Mr. Mitoshi stopped Kagome. "Ms. Higurashi. Can I speak with you?"
The startled girl nodded and came to the front of the room to his desk. "Whatcha need?" She asked shifting her books to the other hip.
"You really impressed me today reading. Are you sure you've never read a script before? I mean, of all the years of teaching, I've never heard something quite like that. I would really like to give you the lead part of Kyoko." He looked over at the girl and smiled.
"You-you want me to read Kyoko's part?" Kagome asked.
"All I can say is that I was really impressed." The man pushed his glasses a bit up his nose. "Give it some thought, would you?"
Kagome nodded, "Yea. I will. Thanks." She walked out of the classroom with her self-esteem at an all time high. She was all lit up inside for the first time.
All the girls were getting ready for gym class. Kagome was nervous though. She's never been an athlete, and probably never will be. But she put on the required gym uniform and walked outside. Today, they were playing softball.
"Ok, people, get lined up! We'll pick teams!" The instructor yelled. The kids followed her command and lined up one by one in a single file line. Just going down the line, she numbered off. "One, two, one, two, one, two…" When she came to Kagome, the coach stopped. "Ah! We gotta new victim! Well, don't worry, you'll have fun, go with team one."
Kagome walked over to where the rest of the group was standing huddled together. Unfortunately, they didn't allow her in. "Listen, girl, we got our spots. You're sittin'." One of the bigger boys said.
"But you only have eight…" Kagome was started, but rudely interrupted.
"LOOK! WE GOT OUR SPOTS! DON'T MESS WITH THEM." He shouted back. Him and the rest of the kids walked out on the field.
Kagome stood off to the side by the entrance to the dug out. "Spoiled brat." She mumbled to her self.
"Hey, Kagome! Why aren'tcha playin?" The coach yelled from the pitchers mound.
She got an evil glare from the guy on third base, the same one that had just told her not to play. "I-I hurt my ankle the other day." She lied.
"Alright, but you're missing out on a lot of fun!" She yelled turning back to the kids.
The boy on third base nodded, but only to get his point across that he was boss.
She watched the entire time as the kids on the field laughed about silly plays, like grounders that rolled right between two people. They just laughed it off, like no big deal. But if Kagome had been out there, who knows if she'd still be standing?
"That was the best gym class ever!" One of the girls exclaimed getting her clothes on after showering. Her hair was up in a towel.
"Yea, I really gotta agree with you, Sango. You really know how to play out there." Another girl said combing her hair out.
This girl, Sango, saw Kagome in the corner changing back all by herself. "Hey, new girl!" She called.
Kagome looked up. "Hm?"
"C'mere." She motioned for her to come over. Reluctantly, she obeyed. "What's your name?"
"Kagome."
"Sango. Big superstar athlete here. You'll be seein' my names all over the place. Don't ruin it?" She spoke, but not in a way that would sound bossy or cruel, more in a tone of joking.
Kagome nodded, knowing there was no way she would ever beat this girl at anything. At softball, she looked great. Just imagine her other abilities… Kagome thought.
"Sango, let's go."
The girl put out a hand, as if she wanted to shake it. "See ya round. K?"
Kagome put her hand out to complete the shake. "Yea…" Sango finished the hand shake with a firm hold and up and down motion.
"Bye!" She said turning around and throwing her gym stuff in her locker. She turned around and gave one last wave.
"Bye…" Kagome whispered. She stood all alone in the locker room staring at the exit. She quickly finished up and walked out.
