Chapter 3: Kagome vs. Kikyou
**BEEP BEEP BEEP!**
Kagome woke to the sound of her alarm clock going off.
"Agg." Kagome muttered as she got out of bed. "School, I have school today."
She climbed out of bed and stumbled into the bathroom. She took a quick shower and started to get ready for school. By the time she had finished it was 7:00 and time to wake up Sango. Kagome opened the door that connected the bathroom to each other's rooms and peeked in.
"Sango? Sango are you awake? It's already 7:00. We only have an hour until breakfast." Kagome whispered.
"I'm up." Sango said, getting out of bed.
Kagome went back to her room and finished getting ready for school. She packed her backpack and did her hair. Then she went outside to the hallway and knocked on Inuyasha and Miroku's door.
Inuyasha answered and asked, "Hey, what's up?"
"Oh, I was just making sure you were up. I didn't want you both to be late." Kagome answered timidly and continued toward the dinning hall.
"Hey, wait up, I was about to head down also." Inuyasha said, catching up to her. He smiled at her and they talked about random thing.
The school had a flexible-eating schedule. They had an hour to eat and could come down anytime in that hour. They were also aloud to snack in their classes, and everyone took advantage of that often. Inuyasha and Kagome sat down and ate their lunch in silence. They both had all the same classes, because Headmaster Kaede had decided that Kagome should be with a friend, and thought that she would be getting enough of Sango in their room. She hadn't picked Miroku for obvious reasons (stupid pervert), so Inuyasha was the only one left.
They both went to their first period together and the first thing both of them noticed was Naraku standing with a girl that looked shockingly like Kagome. She was hanging all over him, like he was the best thing in the world, but the second Kagome and Inuyasha had gotten into the room he started ignoring her.
"Hello mutt, I see that your women just as pathetic as always." Naraku sneered, making the girl notice that he was no longer listening to her pointless chatter. (a/n I HATE KIKYOU! Ok, that's it for my ranting, I think)
"You must be that Kagome girl my poor Naraku has been talking about. He said that you called that mean little Inuyasha to you and tricked him! I think your horrible should be treated like dirt!" Kikyou said smugly.
Kagome just stood there hanging her head (a/n I feel so bad about making her weak, I'm sorry. I promise she's gonna get stronger by the end of this fan fic!) and looking at the floor. Inuyasha saw her start to crumble and started to get mad. 'No one picks on my Kagome! HOLD IT, were did I get "my Kagome?"' Inuyasha thought.
Kikyou walked over to Kagome and slapped her, looking angry. "Nobody goes against my Naraku, so don't you ever try that again." Kikyou growled.
Kagome shook from head to toe and just kept her eyes on the ground. Inuyasha step in front of her and growled threateningly at Kikyou. "Don't ever touch her again or I swear you won't have a hand left on the arm you raised against her!"
Kagome's head snapped up and she looked at him like she still hadn't expected him to protect her. Then she remembered Saturday and smiled. 'He really is going to protect me!' She thought happily.
Kikyou backed up and sat in the front corner of the room in full view of the teacher so that no one could touch her. Naraku glared at Inuyasha before sitting down behind her.
Inuyasha sat in the opposite corner of the room in the back. They wanted to be as far away from those two as possible. Kagome couldn't stop smiling, the knowledge that Inuyasha was going to protect her was making her happier then she had ever been.
Kagome was about to ask Inuyasha something when the teacher walked in and the bell rang. 'I'll ask him after class.' Kagome thought and settled in for the longest class of her life. 'Why does first period have to be BIOLOGY?'
***After Class***
Kagome tapped Inuyasha on the shoulder and looked him straight in the eyes. "Inuyasha, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what do you want?" Inuyasha asked curious.
"I was wondering if you would teach me how to..fight." Kagome almost whispered.
"You want to know how to fight?" Inuyasha asked, in shock. He never thought this innocent looking little girl would even be able to think about fighting, let alone actually learn. He knew better now, but who knew? (a/n he he he, she gonna get tougher soon.)
"Yes please." Kagome answered in an even smaller voice.
"OK." Inuyasha answered shortly, already thinking of how to go about this.
"Really? You're going to teach me how to fight?" Kagome asked happily, sounding more confident.
"Yup, we'll start tomorrow. That good for you?" Inuyasha asked.
"Perfect." Kagome said, smiling. She hugged him quickly and practically skipped to their next class.
***(I have to put this or else my computer messes this up)***
Kagome and Inuyasha trained every day after school. Kagome slowly started to get confidence and even discovered that she had hidden Miko powers. She worked with those also and learned how to fight by using her body and powers together.
Months passed and soon it would be Christmas break. Kagome knew that she would have to go home for break, and was dreading seeing her stepfather.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, trying to get her attention. It was lunchtime and he had been telling her different ways to get away from someone who was attacking you from behind.
"Oh, sorry, I was thinking about Christmas." Kagome said.
"Oh, that. I have to stay with my half brother this year. He hates humans, and me because I'm half-human. My parents are going somewhere alone this year. I don't even know where." Inuyasha sighed, not looking forward to the break, just like Kagome.
Kagome stood up suddenly and started to walk away. She called back to Inuyasha, "I'll be back later. I have to call someone."
Kagome rushed up to her room and picked up her phone. She dialed her home number for the first time since she had moved to the boarding school. As the phone rang she prayed that her mother would answer.
"Hello?" Kagome's mothers voice came threw the phone, and Kagome let out a sigh.
"Hi mom!" Kagome said.
"Kagome! Why haven't you called?" She asked.
"I've been busy with my classes." Kagome said, feeling bad for lying to her mother, but she couldn't tell her the truth.
"How is everything? Are you coming home for Christmas?" Mrs. H asked. (a/n I don't know how to spell Kagome's last name, so she's gonna be Mrs. H. oh, and the step-dad changed his last name cause I can't think of a good last name. Me too lazy, he he he)
"I wanted to talk to you about that. I was wondering if I could bring a friend home with me." Kagome asked, hoping she would say yes. Kagome knew that her stepfather wouldn't dare touch her with someone else in the house.
"That would be wonderful! Who is this friend?" Mrs. H asked slyly.
Kagome blushed in spite of herself and answered, "Inuyasha, my other friends Sango and Miroku are going home but Inuyasha would be going home to only his half brother that doesn't like him. I couldn't let him go home on Christmas to that, so I'm gonna ask if he can come to our house."
"Wonderful dear. Well, you better be getting back to your school day. I'll talk to you later all right?" Mrs. H said, making Kagome remember that she only had 15 minutes left in lunch and she still had to ask Inuyasha.
"Oh, thanks mom. I'll talk to you later, bye!" Kagome said and hung up the phone, running back to the cafeteria.
"So, where did you go?" Inuyasha asked.
"I went to call my mom. I was wondering if you wanted to come to my house for Christmas. That way you wouldn't have to be with your half brother. That is if you're allowed and if you want to." Kagome said, suddenly remembering that he might not be able to.
"That would be great! Shesshomaru is having his girlfriend Rin come over and I would feel really uncomfortable there. Thanks!" Inuyasha said, getting excited.
The next week was spent in preparation for Christmas, and they had quarterfinals in all their classes. By the time break came everyone was ready for it. Kagome and Inuyasha said goodbye to Sango and Miroku and drove away in Inuyasha's car. They drove for a couple hours before they reached Kagome's house.
When they got there Kagome knew that her mom had not told her stepfather about Inuyasha. He was standing alone on the front steps with an evil look on his face. She knew that he had found some excuse for her mother to be out of the house and was glade that Inuyasha had been able to come.
They got out of the car and the look on Mr. H's face was priceless. Kagome grinned. She was no longer afraid of him, Inuyasha had taught her well when it came to fighting, and if it came down to it she could always use her Miko powers.
"Who is this?" Mr. H said tensely.
"Oh, mom didn't tell you? That's Inuyasha, he's going to be staying with us for Christmas. He's my friend from school." Kagome said sweetly.
Inuyasha held his hand out and Mr. H shook it reluctantly. "Thank you very much for letting me stay with you over the holidays. I would have had to stay with my half brother and his girlfriend. It wouldn't have been much fun."
**BEEP**
A car horn honked and Mrs. H pulled into the driveway. "MOM!" Kagome screamed, running over to her mother and hugging her.
"Hello sweety, how are you?"
"I'm great thanks. Oh, this is Inuyasha. Inuyasha this is my mom." Kagome said, introducing the two of them.
"It's nice to meet you." Inuyasha said, shaking her hand.
"Oh, please come in!" Mrs. H said, leading everyone into the house. "Kagome, can you show Inuyasha where he's going to be staying?"
"Sure." Kagome said, leading Inuyasha up the stairs. "You're going to be staying in the guest room right next to my room. Here's the bathroom and my parents room is right here." Kagome said, showing him each of the rooms.
"Ok, thanks. I think I'm going to go inside and unpack." Inuyasha said, going in and closing the door.
Kagome went into her own room and unpacked her bag. She didn't even hear her stepfather come in.
"Kagome, why didn't you tell me you were having a guest?" He said, startling her.
"I thought it would be a nice surprise." Kagome said sweetly.
"It's not. Don't worry, I'll get him and your mother out together sometime during this vacation, then I'll teach you the meaning of pain. Or maybe I should start now? I don't think you would scream, you wouldn't want your mother or little friend to find out now would you?" He sneered, moving toward her threateningly.
Kagome took a step back, afraid despite herself. They both froze when they heard a knock on the door. "Kagome can I come in?" Inuyasha asked calmly.
"Sure." Kagome said, grinning at her stepfather.
The door opened and Inuyasha walked in. "Oh, hello sir. Can I talk to Kagome for a second?"
"Whatever." He muttered and left the room.
The second the door was closed and Inuyasha knew that he was gone he turned to Kagome. "I won't let him hurt you. I heard what he said through the wall. A normal person wouldn't have heard, but I'm not normal am I? I'm guessing he's the 'bully' you were talking about?" Inuyasha said, looking more angry then she had ever seen him.
"I was hoping you would hear. I didn't want to tell you because I was embarrassed, but I thought if you heard it would be better. This is why I never call home or visit." Kagome said, not at all ashamed.
"If he touches you again I will beat the crap out of him." Inuyasha growled.
Kagome laughed dryly, "I think I can take care of myself now. If I have to I can us my Miko powers on him. I'm not defenseless. Don't worry."
"OK, but if he hurts you he is going to pay." Inuyasha said, still pissed.
"Dinner!" Kagome's mom said, and they both headed downstairs for some food.
'This is going to be an interesting Christmas.' Kagome thought, grinning.
