Chapter 3
As Time Goes On
Kagome turned around and looks up. It was Inuyasha's older brother. What could he want, Kagome thought.
"I'm Sesshoumaru. Maybe you know me already?"
Kagome nodded.
"Well, I saw what happened between you and my childish brother this morning. I apologize for his acts." Sesshoumaru handed his hand for her to shake.
Kagome shook his hand, "You don't have to apologize, you know. It's suppose to be him that's apologizing. Not you."
"I don't think you're gonna get much from Inuyasha. He's selfish and arrogant. So what classes are you taking this semester?"
"Junior classes for the art of Hunting Demons and Mastering Priestess,"
"Uh, I think you're in the wrong class. See, this is a senior class," Sesshoumaru thought that Kagome had the wrong class.
"Um, I'm taking advance classes,"
"Oh."
Kagome laughed as she looked at Sesshoumaru. Both of them knew they were going to be good friends. Sesshoumaru and Kagome talked about many things like the news, Rin, what's cool, Rin, and well mostly Rin. They both did not notice a figure walking in the door.
"Ahem. Would you two please excuse me? I'm Mr. Jiang, the teacher of Studies of Demons. I thought classes were supposed to be quiet when teachers are here."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I didn't see you," Kagome was beet red when she spoke.
"I can tell," Mr. Jiang picked up his attendance sheet as he called out the names in a mannerly order.
Kagome bent her head to hide the redness of her face from her fellow classes.
While in Mr. Jiang's class,
Sango and Rin were soon bored as their teacher, Ms. Chin started talking about what they'll be covering in the next couple of months.
There was a knock on the door and a boy with red marks on his face came in.
"Uh, is this room A078?"
Sango gasped as she looked at the boy.
"Miroku," Sango muttered as she watched him take the seat beside her.
Miroku smirked as he looked at her expression.
"Young man, I do not tolerate being late in my class!" Ms. Chin bellowed.
"Sorry, I uh, ran into a couple of things," Miroku rubbed his cheeks.
Sango scowled as Miroku moved his chair closer to her.
"Don't go near me!"
"Why not, my love. My heart's been yearning for you." Miroku put his hand over Sango's.
"Miroku, stop. You're going to get me in trouble." Sango moved her hands back.
"Excuse me, but I may suggest that you two take your business some place else instead of my classroom!" Ms. Chin yelled.
Sango's face turned red as she looked at the ground.
"So that's Miroku." Rin laughed until she saw Sango's murderous look. Rin turned away as she tried to hide her laugh from Sango.
"Ugh!!! You better not say a word or else!" Sango muttered again as she tried to ignore the hentai beside her.
"Whatever," Rin muffled her giggles as she covered her mouth from bursting.
"Sango, my love, would you please bare my children?" Miroku once again laid his hand on Sango's.
"I told you before! My answer's no! N-O. Okay?"
"This is the second time I have to scold you two. Detention after school!"
Ring… Ring….
Sango got up from her seat and walked outside forgetting to wait for Rin.
"Sango! Sango! Never mind." Rin walked out to her next class. It was Remedy Potions.
As she walked to her class, she saw Kagome walk out of The Studies of Demons with Sesshoumaru. Rin walked up to Kagome and Sesshoumaru.
"Hi!" Rin waved at Kagome but her eyes were looking at Sesshoumaru.
"Hi-" Kagome waved at Rin but she saw that she was talking to Sesshoumaru. Seeing that they were both busy, she left for her next class.
Kagome looked at her watch as she hurried to class. As she walked in, everyone looked at her. She saw that Inuyasha was in the same class too. She scowled. She avoided looking at him as she took the remaining seat that there was. Which was near Inuyasha.
"Nice of you to join us, Ms.-?" The teacher asked.
"Higurashi. Kagome Higurashi." Kagome replied.
"Now, students. I know this is the first day of school. But I will give you a pop quiz on how much you've learned from last year." The teacher started passing out papers as the students groaned.
"Name first, date, and period. You will have an hour to do the whole test. You may start now!" The teacher timed his watch as he walked around the classroom.
"Where did demons originally come from?" Kagome said to herself as she answered the question. She looked through all the questions. They were all easy. She knew this from last year. She even reread the whole book before summer along with other couple of books. As she was done with all the questions, she raised her hand and waited for her teacher to come to her.
"Uh, yes, Ms. Higurashi?"
"Do we turn in our paper when we're done?"
"You're done. Are you sure you double checked?"
"Yes,"
As they talked, students' heads turned. The teacher walked beside her chair and picked up her paper.
"Hmm… Everything's-…
"All correct," The teacher looked at Kagome while she looked at him. He looked at her hands if she had anything in them. Kagome was only holding a pen.
"Um, just wait until everyone's all finished then," the teacher hen again continued to walk around the class room.
As she waited she could feel that someone's eyes were starring at her. Kagome tried to ignore it. The feeling made her really uncomfortable. Kagome sat there as she waited for everyone to finish.
"Time's up! Out away your pens or pencils and pass your papers forward." The teacher collected all papers as he walked around the class once more. Kagome turned around to collect the papers from the other students behind her. As she turned, she saw that some girl that looked exactly like herself. Except the fact that she looked much meaner. Kagome and this other girl had the same features. The same length black hair except this girl's own was still and flat. The identical skin color, light and smooth. However, Kagome thought that this other girl was prettier than she was. As she passed the papers to the front, she couldn't help think about how this girl exactly alike.
"Hmm… Everyone else's test scores seem appropriate. Well, moving on to the subject. I am going to partner you up into separate groups to work on a five page essay," Mr. Oromo took his checklist as he stated the partners aloud.
Everyone in the whole classroom groaned.
"Okay, everyone. Let's see, Inuyasha and Kikyo.
The girl from behind Kagome walked up as she walked to Inuyasha's side of the table. She flashed him a smile as she sat near him. She introduced herself as Inuyasha got the books they were going to read.
Mr. Oromo was still assigning partners. He got to the last two people.
"Kagome and Kouga. Okay, now everything's been settled, I'd like to say a couple of words. Since today's Monday, your five page essays will be due on Friday. You and your partners will not do it during my class time. You will have to meet outside of class and work on it. Not only you will turn in your essays, you will turn in a one-page evaluation on what you did yourself and how well or bad your partner did. Now, everyone get together with your partners and discuss what topic you will choose."
Kouga and Kagome talked and discussed what their essay will be about. While they talked, they got distracted when some people beside them were talking too loud.
"So like your name's Inuyasha? What like such a cute name!!!" Kikyo squealed.
Inuyasha nodded slightly as he hung unto every word Kikyo had said. Inuyasha looked like Kikyo hypnotized him. It was true, Kagome thought to herself. Kikyo was very attractive yet there was something else to her. Kikyo had an evil aura that surrounded her. Kagome did not know where this vibe came from. It was like a gift, Kagome thought. Sometimes, Kagome would sense something and well it happened. For example, when she sensed that her best friend Sango was in danger. She quickly went to where Sango usually was, the gym. When she got there, a man harassed Sango as he held a knife to her throat. Kagome dismissed the thought as she talked to Kouga. When the bell rang, everyone in the class quickly rushed out. When Kagome was about to walk out the door, her professor had called her.
"Kagome, before the school started, your past teachers have talked to the school board about your academic scores. See, you have the highest score in the whole school. As we talked, we decided that you should take your senior classes this year along with some of your junior studies. I know that seems quite hard but think of the possibilities. Next year, you don't have to take the senior classes anymore. Instead, you'd be able to work already. However it is up to you. If you do, you will have to sign a couple papers and you don't have to pay the tuition fee for the school board will be paying for your scholarship."
Kagome thought about it. She would have to talk about it with Sango and Rin, even though it was her choice. She knew that she'd be busy to hang out with them or even talk to them.
Mr. Oromo saw the expression on Kagome's face.
"Kagome, maybe I'm not being fair. So just think about it then. When you're ready just talk to me about it and I'll give you the application form."
Kagome walked to her class as she thought about it. Her teacher was discussing the origin of demons. Kagome was too busy thinking, well she didn't need to listen for she knew this from last year and she did a little light reading during the summer. (The book is more than five thousand pages. Talk about light reading) During all her classes, Kagome thought about it. When lunch came, she searched for Sango and Rin. She saw that they were with Sesshoumaru and another with black hair tied back annoying Sango.
"What's up, guys?"
"Oh, Kagome meet my cousin, Miroku. Miroku meet Kagome." Sesshoumaru introduced them.
"Sango, Rin, guess what?"
"What," Sango tried moving away from Miroku as she pulled her chair closer to Kagome.
"Mr. Oromo said that I will be taking junior and senior classes this year."
"Harsh. Meaning way too many work for you then," Rin quipped.
"So why are you telling us this?" Sango tried to avoid the touches of a particular person.
"Well, it's my choice if I want to, but I wanna ask you guys first if it's okay."
"Yellow! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Even though I don't know why you would want to do more work."
"Okay then. I'll just talk to Mr. Oromo now."
Kagome got up as she headed to her professor's classroom. When she got there, she heard some inappropriate noises. She heard slurps and a couple of giggles. When she peeked through the door. She saw her professor making what seemed like a student. This student turned out to be Kikyo. Kagome thought to herself maybe she should come back later. Kagome walked down the corridor when she spotted Inuyasha sitting alone in the library concentrating on a book. She did not know why she felt sorry for him as her feet walked towards him. Kagome handed out a drink that she had bought in the cafe. Inuyasha looked at Kagome. He took the drink as he bent down again.
"Thanks,"
"Um, you're welcome," Kagome looked at what he was reading. It was the book their teacher had given them to read. They were supposed to read a section and write notes about it and a two-page paper about it. However, the thing about this section, you can't understand any of the words. Either you know the language (which barely anyone knows except the teacher, Professor Totousai, teaching it and of course Kagome) or you don't. That's why every one had copied the letter and symbol translator.
"Um, do you need help? I can understand this language you know."
Inuyasha looked at her as is he really needed help. But Inuyasha was a person who never wanted help from anyone.
"Don't worry, I won't bother you anymore or tell anyone that I'm helping you," Kagome knew what Inuyasha's attitude and personality was all about. Sesshoumaru had told her mostly everything about his little brother.
Inuyasha nodded her to sit down. As she did, Inuyasha spoke, "Why the hell are you helping me anyways? I mean, especially after what I did to you this morning."
"I don't know? Maybe because I like to help people when they need help," Kagome started to explain everything to Inuyasha as he took notes. As time passed, the bell rang.
"Inuyasha, why won't I take this home and I'll give it to you or brother tomorrow then?" Kagome got up as she spoke to Inuyasha.
"Whatever. Thanks anyways. Do you know where Kikyo is? I'm supposed to meet her in the library?"
Kagome thought about telling Inuyasha where she was and what thing she was doing. But decided to keep this to herself.
"No, I haven't,"
Kagome walked out of the library as she went to Mr. Oromo's class. She thought maybe Kikyo and her professor were still doing their business. But again, it passed more than an hour, and she knew that it didn't take more than a couple of minutes to do 'some business'.
She walked in and to her luck she was gone, "Mr. Oromo, I decided that I'll do it."
Mr. Oromo handed her an application form as she quickly filled it out. She had to take senior classes as she took some classes that she liked. Kagome choose that she'd do all her work in the library while the teachers had lesson plans for her. She had study hall and she also chose a tutoring session. Kagome would tutor other students who needed help.
As they all finished getting through the end of the day, Kagome waited in the hallway for Sango and Rin. Someone tapped her on her shoulder. As Kagome turned around, she met cold eyes looking at her.
"Kagome? Kagome is your name, right? Well, I know what you saw today."

Any ways I'll stop here for now, and if everything works out I'll continue again!!! R&R!
