Chapter 16
Thursday morning rolled around and things were going pretty normal. However, Inuyasha was still a little pissed at Koga. "What the hell did you think you were doing putting that paper in the news?"
"What do you mean, dog breath?"
"I mean exactly what I mean! Do I have to spell it out for you?" Inuyasha shouted.
Kids were starting to gather just as they had done yesterday. Luckily for them, the crowd was less. Kagome had walked in just as Inuyasha had begun to yell at Koga. What's he doing now? She thought to herself. She sighed and walked around the school to her locker, ignoring the fight the boys had picked themselves.
Meanwhile, back at the two quarreling, Inuyasha had begun the fighting with a bang, a quick right hook that connected quite squarely in the jaw of the unsuspecting demon. Koga staggered back a few feet and lunged at the hanyou. Punch, kick, smack, wham, around and around it went until the two were being pulled apart by the principle and their coach. "AHEM!" the principle said clearing his throat as he towered over the two sitting on opposite walls of the hallway. Both were in pretty bad shape. "What are we doing?"
Inuyasha shot a death glare at Koga. "Just, finishing some business."
Koga had to retaliate to save his skin, "Dog boy here just suddenly started attacking me. I had no choice but to defend myself."
The principle glared at the two beat up boys. "I'm giving both of you detention for a month. I expected better of you two. I'll see you both starting today." The older man walked away, leaving the two younger ones to slit each others throats.
"What about practice?!" they both shouted in unison.
"It'll have to wait. You're temporarily suspended." He said over his shoulder.
Both Inuyasha and Koga watched their Principle just walk away with their lives trailing behind him. Giving a huge sigh, neither of them moved. After several minutes of silence, Inuyasha stood up. "Well, I don't expect to wait around here all day." He walked off leaving Koga to sit and think to himself.

Lunch time already. Kagome sat by herself until Sango showed up. "Hey Kagome!" The girl plopped herself down across from Kagome. "Whatcha doin?"
"Not much. Just waitin' for you to show up." Kagome fiddled with her food for a few seconds.
Sango noticed her strange behavior. "Ok, spill. What's wrong?"
Kagome looked up and looked Sango in the eye. "Nothing."
"When you left early yesterday, everybody got suspicious. What happened while you went to go see Inuyasha at the hospital? Everyone heard about the explosion. What happened while you were there?" Kagome now understood why she was feeling so strange. It wasn't the explosion that had her acting weird, it was – well, what happened afterwards, at his house. It was a feeling that had her extremely happy, yet very self-conscious. Ever since she got to know Inuyasha just that little bit more, she felt more complete, if that was possible. "Hello???" Kagome shook out of her trance and saw Sango waving her hand in front of her face. "Earth to Kagome? You there?"
"Yea. Just thinking." Kagome said letting a slight blush escape her cheeks. Just her luck, Inuyasha and Miroku were walking their way.
"Hey there, my dear Sango!" Miroku said sitting by her. "How have we been this fine day?"
"I WAS doing good until *somebody* showed up." The girl said giving a glare that could kill.
Inuyasha was smirking when he sat down, and it happened to be next to Kagome. "Whassup?"
Kagome knew what he was hinting at. "The sky." She said pointing up. She proceeded at that moment, when Inuyasha looked up (stupid idea) and she gave him a good pinch in the gut.
"OW! What was that for wench?" Inuyasha shouted, but Kagome was already ignoring him.
"I happen to have homework that I *work* on, unlike some people…" she taunted."Now, just leave me alone for a while."
Was that Kagome that just said that? Or was that someone possessing Kagome's body and talking for her. Either that or she had just changed that drastically much. Either way, this day was very unusual…
~*~
Quite eventless was the day actually. Algebra II, whoopee, literature, eh, nothing much new, everything else that day was yawn compared to what they used to be.
However, our oh-so-powerful hanyou had been complaining the entire day of stomach pains. Not the kind you get when you have the flu or something, it was a pain. "Oh, quite being a baby!" was all Kagome would say to him.
"All I wanted was some aspirin or something!! You don't have to bite my head off!" Inuyasha shouted at Kagome, who was holding a hand over his aching stomach.
Kagome kept walking after school mumbling incoherent words all the way outside.
Inuyasha shrugged and grumbled to himself. That girl was acting strangely lately. Or maybe it was him… what was the difference? Either way, someone was grumpy.
But his thoughts were put on hold as his day turned upside down, just like the rest of his week had been – one big messed up part of his life. He leaned against the wall for support, head spinning and feeling dizzy. The feeling of the very blood in his body burn with searing pain. Oddly enough, it was in the spot he'd been shot at just a day earlier. The pain spread quickly throughout his body. He could feel his mind slipping, like he was suddenly out of control. And then things went strange – he WANTED to kill someone, real bad. And the first person on the top of his hit list was none other than the person running down the hall to see what was wrong – Koga.
~*~
Kagome could tell something was wrong. He's such a jerk. With an over inflated ego. But she refused to admit to herself that she DID like spending *quality* time with him. After his little tough guy escapade, she wasn't sure she wanted to talk to anyone. Her luck was granted as she talked to nor met no one on her way home.
~*~
Meanwhile, from a near-by hiding spot, several of the high school boys (and for that fact, girls) watched innocent little Kagome trot home defenseless. Waiting a while until after the issue with Hiten and Manten, they figured she'd be brave to walk home alone one of these days. "When ever you're ready boss." They said obeyingly.
"We'll wait a few minutes, letting some time sink in for her little lover-boy. Then we strike."

A/N: ok, here's a chapter.
This is a BIG PROBLEM FOR ME. MY COMPUTER HAS RECENTLY BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH SEVERAL VIRUSES, THUS, I WON'T BE UPDATING FOR 1 WEEK. THAT'S ALL I WILL WAIT. I WILL TRY AND HAVE MY DAD TAKE IT IN, hopefully, AND GET IT FIXED. And, I promise to try and make the next one long because this chapter was NOT wanting to be written. I had 3 different versions typed up, couldn't decide, wrote a new one… etc… So it took a while. Sooooo sorry!!! And with my cliff hanger (don't we all just love me now?) I'll try and have 17 up soon. PROMISE it won't be a week again, though I should probably get a schedule down… ya. Look for a chapter next Saturday or Sunday. About every week. Yea.
Well, actually, I'll get chapter 17 out so we aren't on such a bad cliffie, hows that sound? But that's all. 17 is out, then we wait for 1, I repeat 1 week. Please bear with me!!!! I'm just as ticked as you are!!!
K! On to typing my new fic! It'll be out soon! ~_^ hang around!!!
And thank you Kagomes_Wish for pointing out my mistakes (hehe, I had several… *whistles innocently*)!!! I was feeling really mad when I wrote this because of the stupid viruses! I always appreciate it when people correct mistakes!! Thanks!! ^_~
