Chapter 2: Something's Happening

The next morning, Kagome woke up at the usual time (for once she's not late (!). She had her breakfast and went to school. That day at school, Kagome ignored everyone even more than usual, because the death of her father was plaguing her mind. It caused her to think about all of the things that happened before his death. She wasn't sad, just troubled. That day during lunch, she sat underneath the cherry tree, as usual, thinking and not even touching her lunch. She didn't even realize it when a group of students had walked up to her. "Well," a voice said, startling her, "heard that your father died." Kagome looked up and saw that it was Kikyo. "Ha! You probably killed him yourself so you could bring the demise of your family quickly." Kagome just ignored her and started packing up her food. Lunch was almost over anyways. Kikyo stood there with the rest of the popular people as if they were waiting for a response from her. When she ignored them, Kikyo got angry. She thought, "How dare she ignore me?!?!?" Kikyo shot Kagome a look that promised pain before she left. "I'll just get Inu-Yasha to help me out in this."she thought. With that, she smirked and walked off to her next class, Math.
Kagome walked off to her locker soon after Kikyo and her friends left. She got her Math textbook and binder, for it was the subject that she had next. Most unfortunately, she had it with Kikyo and Inu-Yasha. She put her materials in her backpack and walked to her class. She entered the classroom and sat in her usual seat. Of course, Kikyo and Inu-Yasha were there already and they were smirking at her. Kagome ignored them until the teacher came in and started class. Since today her mind was preoccupied with memories, she wasn't really paying attention. When the teacher called on her, she didn't even hear until a book was slapped on her desk. She looked up at the teacher and said, "Gomen nasai." Her respond was only, "Detention. 3:15 sharp!" Kagome just sighed. When the teacher turned around, she saw Inu-Yasha and Kikyo's face turned towards her. On them were twin smirks. This caused her to sigh again. "Ugh, great. I just earned myself a detention." She thought sarcastically in her mind. "How can it get any worse today?" Just as soon as that thought was finished, a spitball landed in her textbook. She quickly turned around and saw Miroku, Inu- Yasha's best friend and one of the popular people, quickly put away a straw. She heard someone snigger and turned the other way. This time she saw Inu-Yasha holding a hand to his mouth trying not to laugh out loud. She sighed again and thumped her head against her desk. That math class went by very slowly. As soon as it was over, Kagome rushed out of the classroom and headed out for her next class, bumping into many people, causing them to curse. She had English next, and thankfully Inu-Yasha, Kikyo, and Miroku weren't in her class. She silently sent a prayer to god and walked in.
After English, last class of the day, Kagome went off to detention. She sat there for half an hour doing nothing at all, until she decided to do her homework. An hour and a half passed by and she was released. She walked home slowly, because of the day's events. It was one of the worst days of her life. As soon as she got home and put down her backpack, her mother came in. Her eyes were angry as they gazed into Kagome's azure ones. They stood one glaring and the other looking confuse for a while until Mrs. Higurashi said in a quiet menacing voice, "Where were you Kagome? You were suppose to be home two hours ago!" With each word, the volume and intensity of her voice increased. When Kagome told her that the Math teacher gave her detention, her mother flew into a rage. She grabbed feather duster, the ones with a wooden pole, and began hitting her with the hard wood. Kagome tried to block, but she would just get hit instead. Every time her mother scored a hit, Kagome screamed. Sota just hid in his room. After her mother was finished, Kagome just laid on the floor in a heap and cried silent tears.
