Chapter 12
The school was buzzing with life. News quickly circulated around the school about the event this morning in the parking lot. Hushed tones and whispers were heard in the hallways and classes. Teachers looked on in confusion and some in shock.
Tatsuyu silently made her way down the hall, strange looks following her. Whispers resumed once she past, and some many quickly moved out of her way in fear. She just held her books tighter and made her way to Calculus with Sesshomaru.
"Tats! Hey Tats wait up!"
Tatsuyu turned around and saw Inuyasha running up to her, breathing heavily. When he caught up he said, "So is it true? Did you really kick Onigumo's ass?"
She sighed. "I wouldn't necessarily put it that way." She rubbed her forehead. "We had a confrontation is all."
"Yeah but you still scratched the shit out of him right?" He said with a smile. Like everyone else, he hated Onigumo and his cronies.
Tatsuyu sighed and continued walking. "I don't see what the big deal is. It's not like nobody else has fought with him."
"True, very true," Inuyasha began as he caught up with her, "But all of them were guys AND you are a very nice and shy person. At least that's what everyone says."
Tatsuyu shook her head. So her reputation was the nice and shy girl huh? She couldn't deny that they were half right. She didn't like being mean and yes, she wasn't outgoing. She just didn't like being labeled. She looked back at Inuyasha. "Does the whole entire school know?"
"Pretty much."
"Shit..." she mumbled.
Inuyasha chuckled. It was rare for Tatsuyu to swear and she only did it when she was really pissed off or distressed. She must be pissed still.
The bell rang and she swore again. "Sorry Inuyasha gotta go!!" She waved him off and ran down the hall, hoping to catch the tardy bell.
Onigumo cursed fluently as the nurse fixed up his face. Four large gashes ran from the left side of his face to the right side, some of them needing stitches. Usually something like this would have the attacker suspended, however, since it was for self defense the charge was over looked.
The nurse put the last bandage on. "You're all set, sir." She said. "Now get to class so you aren't marked tardy."
Onigumo glared at her, grabbed his jacket and stormed out of the nurse's office. He sneered at passersby's who even looked at him let alone laughed at him. They all cringed and ran off. Setting his gaze forward he noticed Sesshomaru walking along with his Spaniard friend and Koga. They were heading his way.
Again he sneered. The three best dirt bike riders in the county. Sesshomaru being number one and Antonio and Koga sharing second place. Oh how he could kill them right now. Not only were they the best, they were also popular. Onigumo hated them with a passion.
They noticed him and Sesshomaru growled. Antonio and Koga looked at their friend and made sure he didn't launch himself at the punk. Onigumo narrowed his eyes. "Watch yourself, Demon. Your luck is about to run out."
"You're the one who needs to watch out, Onigumo." snapped Sesshomaru.
The warning bell sounded. Giving one last glare, Sesshomaru made his way to first period. Onigumo watched him leave and casually walked towards the school exit. He didn't feel like going to school today.
Sesshomaru quickly made his way into Calculus and sat down in his normal seat. Looking over he noticed Tatsuyu looked a little mad. "Hey, baby. You okay?"
Tatsuyu started and looked over. Smiling big she got out of her seat and sat in his lap. "I'm so glad you're here! People keep coming up to me and asking about my confrontation with Onigumo and it's getting me mad."
Sesshomaru watched as she gave a little pout. He smiled. "Well... it is big news." She gave him a face. "But highly inappropriate for people to bug you about it." He added quickly.
"Well you have to admit it was awesome to see the bastard get what was coming to him," replied Antonio who sat on Sesshomaru's desk. "Well it's true!" He added defensively when Tatsuyu glared.
Tatsuyu rolled her eyes. "You know something Tony. You really need to get a girlfriend."
"Why is that?"
"So you can bug her with your stupidity, and not me."
"But you're more fun Tats!" said Antonio. He gave a laugh and Tatsuyu rolled her eyes again. "If you must know, I used to have a girlfriend back in Spain."
"Why haven't you gotten another one?" quirked Sesshomaru.
Antonio sighed. "Because not one woman in this school can keep up with my stupidity." Antonio gave her a wink and she laughed.
The bell rang and the teacher walked in. "Alright class settle down. Now... before we get started I would like to inform you we have another addition to this classroom." The students whispered to one another.
Antonio sighed and put his hands behind his back. "Probably another Japanese girl who's shy."
"Quite the contrary, Antonio." said the teacher. "This young lady is from Spain just like you. I hope you can help make her feel at home here." Antonio raised an eyebrow. The teacher continued. "Class... May I introduce Sara Fernandez."
A small girl with short black hair and brown eyes entered the room, smiling big. "Hola classmates!"
Antonio jumped out of his seat, smiling. "PUNK ASS!!"
She turned and beamed. "SHITHEAD!!! IT'S YOU!!!"
Sara dropped the stuff she was carrying and raced over to the other Spaniard. She launched herself into his arms and both fell back in a heap. They started talking in rapid Spanish.
"¡Ah mi dios! ¡Yo no puedo creer es usted mocoso como!" [1]
"¡Misma cosa va a usted shithead! ¡Cómo tenidolo fue?" [2]
"¡He sido gran! ¿Cómo la familia es?" [3]
"¡Tan loco como jamás!" [4]
The teacher walked over and tapped Sara on the shoulder. "Excuse me miss, but we really need to get back to work. So... if you could get off of Antonio."
Sara smiled big and looked back down at Antonio. "It's really great to see you shithead!"
"No swearing Fernandez-san!" snapped the teacher.
"Fernandez-san? Do I have sand in my hair or something?"
Antonio burst out laughing and pushed Sara off of him. "Sara my dear. You have got a lot to learn!"
{Lunchtime}
Kagome quietly walked with Inuyasha to their tree that the group sat at. Since it was finally a good day to eat outside they jumped at the opportunity. Smiling she looked over at him. "So are you excited?"
"About what?" asked Inuyasha who was a little peeved because he blew up his chemistry project... again.
"About the competition today silly!" said Kagome happily.
Inuyasha grunted and sat on the ground, putting Kagome in his lap. "Why? Sesshomaru is going to win anyway so why go?"
Kagome rolled her eyes. "One, because he is your brother. Two, I hear Koga has gotten a lot better and may actually be able to beat him this year. And three... because you should be there to support your brother."
"Yeah yeah... I get the point." Inuyasha said softly.
"MIROKU GET OVER HERE!!!!"
Kagome and Inuyasha looked over to see their black haired friend running for dear life, a pissed off Sango only a few steps behind.
"Sango I swear it! I didn't mean to lift up your skirt! It just got caught!" he yelled.
"I'll show you what being caught is all about you pervert!" Sango shouted, her face red with rage.
Inuyasha snorted. "Will those two ever be normal?"
"And who ever said you were?" said Kagome nonchalantly.
"HEY!"
Tatsuyu and Sesshomaru watched Antonio with amusement as he talked rapidly with Sara, making funny gestures with his hands and Sara making faces at him. The only reason it was that hilarious was because the two couldn't understand a word they were saying.
Suddenly Sara changed dialect and they heard the rest of the conversation. "And when my papa pulled it out of the water, it almost ate off his head it was that big!" Sara shouted and made a chomping noise with her teeth.
"No shit! You're telling me your dad finally caught a fish bigger than mine?! Mine is a world record!" Antonio shouted while throwing his hands in the air.
Sara giggled and hugged Tony. "Well, shithead... looks like you are gonna have to come back to Spain and kick my papa's ass!"
Sesshomaru and Tatsuyu gave each other quizzical looks. They were talking about a fish. Tatsuyu looked back at the two and said, "Uh Antonio... I might be sounding rude, but how do you know Sara?"
Antonio gave her a confused look then slapped his head. "Oh that's right! You guys haven't met! Sara... I would like you to meet Tatsuyu Harashima and her boyfriend Sesshomaru."
Sara smiled and hugged them both (is that even possible? Oo) "Oh it's so nice to meet you two! I'm sorry if Antonio has been a pain in the ass. I'm surprised you haven't gone insane yet."
"Who said we didn't?" said Sesshomaru with a smile.
Antonio huffed. "Hey! Where's the love, Sess?"
Tatsuyu giggled and turned back to Sara. "So how do you know, Tony?"
Sara smiled. "This lunkhead," she started while nudging him with her elbow, "used to be my boyfriend back in Spain."
"So you're the girl he was talking about today!" exclaimed Tatsuyu while hugging the Spanish girl. "Finally, someone who can stand his stupidity!"
"Yes, ma'am! I am that woman! I keep him in check!"
Antonio whined. "Oh come on you two! I'm not that stupid!"
"Yes you are." They said in unison.
Sesshomaru laughed. Yep... this was going to be an interesting. "Alright, now that we know one another how about a little lunch so Antonio doesn't complain he's still hungry in fifth hour."
"E tu, Sesshomaru?" Said Antonio depressed. Everyone just laughed and went to get their lunches.
Naraku strutted into his office. He rubbed his forehead. That was one meeting he could have dealt without; stupid teenagers and their 'rape' stories. It gave him a headache. He set his briefcase on his desk and turned on his computer. A memo was on his desk reminding him of a court case that started at three. Too long of a day.
The black phone on his desk rang and he picked it up.
"Harashima" he said sternly.
"Harashima-san." It was his secretary. "I have a man on the line who would like to speak with you. He didn't say who it was, but only that it was imperative that he speaks to you. Do you want me to patch the call in?"
"Hai," said Naraku curtly. "I have been waiting for his call."
The secretary clicked over and Sesshomaru's father's voice came through the receiver. "Well like you requested I called you."
"Good," started Naraku, "are you inside the house?"
A sigh came from the other line, "You even have to ask? Of course I am! What time does he get home?"
Naraku looked at the clock. 2:40. School just led out. Then that means the competition starts within an hour. Sesshomaru will go straight to the track to prepare his bike and outfit. Everything was falling into place. "The race doesn't start till 3:30 and won't end until 5:00, so I suggest you make yourself at home."
Again a sigh. "I'll wait, but what do you want me to do with your daughter when she arrives with my son?"
Naraku narrowed his eyes, "Do whatever you want with her... just make sure she stays down long enough for you to do your job."
"How do you benefit from all of this?" Sesshomaru's father asked.
"When my daughter sees her boyfriend going through hell she'll break down. My daughter is an emotional wreck. She won't be able to take it. Trust me... this will benefit both of us."
Sesshomaru's father snorted. "Whatever you say, Naraku."
"Is that all, then... Inutaisho?" inquired Naraku.
"Hai, Ja." The line was cut.
Naraku set the receiver in its cradle and leaned back in his leather seat. Again he looked at the clock. Only a few more hours and finally he'll be able to get rid of that dragon once and for all.
Miles away at Saoi High, the entire school buzzed with anticipation as the dirt bike riders made their way towards the arena; the 2004 Annual Dirt Bike Tournament in Tokyo had finally begun.
Haha go me I got another chapter done! Sorry if it was short again... my mind just kind of shut down after that.
Well as you can tell the dirt bike tournament is going to be in the next chapter. Now don't kill me when I get the rules wrong for the thing. One: I've never seen it in person. Two: I don't know the rules. Three: I'm just making this up as I go.
Anyway... chapter 12 is done, hope ya like, R&R please and thank you, and stay tuned for another chapter to Take Flight My Dragon!!!
This is what Antonio and Sara were saying to each other in Spanish:

[3] I've been great! How's the family.
[4] As crazy as ever!
