Chapter 13
… "We'll show them just how long they are!" The hanyou said pulling her into a tight embrace.
~*~
Most of the entire school body watched the hanyou go from a hug, to kiss in no time flat. They "oo-ed" and "aa-ed" over the kawaiiest couple they had seen in a long time. Especially with the fact that they were completely opposite types of people.
Kagome was the first to pull away with a completely shocked look on her face. "What was that all about?" she asked.
Inuyasha just smirked. "Showing them whose boss around here…" he whispered. Slowly the hanyou boy released her and let her go. He turned to see all the hoards of people and shooed them off. "Get back to your own business!" he shouted.
Kagome smiled and left the cafeteria area with newspaper in hand. Once again she glanced at the picture on the front. Even though he was human, Inuyasha was still… well, sexy in her mind. She smiled and went to her locker for her next class.
~*~
The long awaited class of literature. One of Kagome's favorite. She was becoming quite popular around here… and awfully quick. But to her, she was now accepted rather than her previous encounters at schools.
The girl sat at her desk looking at the script. Beautiful Stranger. That's the script title. She opened to the first page. On the page she saw before her was part of the following poem (a/n: actually, it's a song….I'll explain in my A/N at the bottom):
To know you
Is to love you
You're everywhere I go
And everybody knows
To love you
Is to be part of you
I paid for you with my tears
And swallowed my pride
Beautiful stranger...
Beautiful stranger...
That seemed to fit her position perfectly. It was scary. She glanced up at the approaching students and saw Inuyasha was one of them. It's true… To love you *IS* to be part of you… Inuyasha walked in laughing with some other friends of his. His smile… it was rare, but heart-stopping, in a good way. Eventually after a bit of staring, Inuyasha must have noticed. He waved his hands in front of her face and she Kagome immediately snapped out of her thoughts. "You okay?" he asked sitting next to her.
"Huh? Yea. I'm fine…" she said with a small blush creeping on her cheeks. Kagome still looked at that first page. That poem was definitely a sign of good things to come.
"Alright class. We'll start at the beginning and rehearse like we would for a performance. Kikyo?" Mr. Mitoshi said looking above his glasses at the girl. Kikyo had been given narrarator.
The girl sighed, seeing as how it was Kagome that had *her* part. "Every student at Natsu High School knew about it. Nobody did it. Nobody.
Lunchtime at Natsu High School was consistent. As soon as the bell that ended the last morning class started ringing, the students swarmed toward their lockers. Then those who didn't eat in the cafeteria headed with their sack lunches toward the quad. The quad was a large, tree-less square of concrete in the center of campus. It was the meeting-and-eating place.
Around the quad the various school cliques assembled. The druggies lined up on the south side. The punkers were next to them. On the east side were the brothers. Next to them were the nerds and brains. The jocks stood on the north side next to the surfers. The rednecks were on the west side. The socialites were in the cafeteria. Everybody knew their place."
Another boy began: "This arrangement did create some tension. But for al the tension generated on the perimeter of the quad at lunchtime, it was nothing compared with the inside of the quad.
The inside was no-man's land.
Nobody at Natsu walked across the middle of the quad. To get from one side to the other, students walked around the quad. Around the people. Around the stares.
Everybody new about it, so nobody did it.
Then one day at the beginning of spring, a new student arrived at Natsu. Her name was Kyoko. She was unfamiliar to the area; in fact, she was new to the state.
And although Kyoko was pleasant enough, she did not quickly attract friends. She was shy and quiet, and the style of her clothes was not… right. (*see A/N)"
"Alright, class. I think that's good. We have several minutes yet. I'll allow you to mingle quietly." Mr. Mitoshi said closing his script book and moving to his desk.
So, the students took his advice and mingled. Kikyo leaned forward to Kagome's seat. "How's your boyfriend?"
Kagome turned around. "For your information, Kikyo…I don't have a boyfriend, just an extremely close BOY friend right now. Something wrong with that?" She said adding a little attitude and kick to her last statement.
Kikyo just rolled her eyes and sat back in her chair.
Several minutes later, the bell was sounded and the kids left their class to chill for a few minutes until their dreaded next subject.
~*~
Kids were walking in the halls continuously looking outside commenting on how nice the weather was. "Golly, why can't we be outside on a day like this?" and "Sheesh, basketball practice inside…crummy…"
Kagome was lucky enough to have last period after Biology as Study Hall. And they talked their S.H (study hall abbrv.) into letting them come outside. "Oh, yeah…" she sighed. She leaned back on the grass and let the sun's rays hit her. It felt wonderful. Being outside…it was relaxing and peaceful, to be away from everyone else….
"Hi, Kagome!"
"AAAAHHH!"
Kagome rolled out of the way of the jumping person and lay on her stomach. She looked over at who had done it. "Gr….. Inuyasha!!!" She said getting up and chasing the laughing hanyou. "You're gunna pay!!" She yelled.
"You gotta catch me first!!!" He yelled over his shoulder and increasing his speed.
Kagome gave up after she saw he was increasing speed and not planning on slowing down anytime soon. "I give up…just come back so I can kick your butt fair and square!!!"
Surprisingly, he listened. Only, not to get his butt kicked, but come back. "You called?" He said facing her in just a few small leaps.
Kagome backed away slowly, startled with surprise. "Why'd you scare me like that?"
Inuyasha's face was suddenly overcome with the hugest smirk you've ever seen. "Heh heh…cause."
"…Cause? That's all you have to say?" Kagome replied putting her hands on her hips.
Inuyasha looked like he was thinking. "Uh…yep."
"Hello? Earth to Inuyasha? Are you home?" The girl said knocking her fist on his skull.
"Hey! Yes." He said grabbing her hand; but didn't let go. Kagome just stared at his hand that held hers. "Remember, this has to look good…" He said quietly. The hanyou's arms wrapped around her waist and she was pulled in close to his body. Slowly, the space between their lips was closing. And…eventually touched. Not as long as last time, but not that much shorter.
Kagome smiled. "Think it looked good enough?" she whispered.
"Definitely…" The hanyou said letting the girl go. Sure enough, when they turned around, they had the stares of several of the classmen out.
"Speaking of which, why are you guys out?" Kagome asked as they walked back over to the group.
"Heh, we have our ways…" He said smiling again.
"Higurashi! Yomitsu! Get over here!" Miroku called, waving them over.
The two jogged the rest of the distance to meet their friend. "What?" they said almost in unison.
"Just wanted to let you both know that we're moving basketball practice to the park courts because of nice weather." Miroku said with a pleased look on his face.
"…That's it?" Kagome asked finally.
Miroku looked taken aback. "Uh, yea…"
"Miroku!" a girl yelled. Kagome and Inuyasha both looked behind them to see Sango running up behind them. "Come on! Coach is getting impatient!" She said half out of breath.
"You started?!" Inuyasha yelled. "Crap!" He took off in the school faster than you can say It's a hot jack rabbit in the middle of a desert with a peanut butter ground and maple syrup for rain…etc… with Kagome on his tail.
