Chapter 6: Another war

"WAKE UP YOU LAZY BITCH!" were the words that woke Kagome up from a wonderful dream in which she escaped from her mother and lived freely. She woke up in the bathroom and sighed, 'oh, well, a dream's a dream. I can keep on dreaming, but it won't come true until I do something about it.' With that, she got up and looked in the mirror. Her eyes were a bit puffy from crying last night and her body still really hurt. With another sigh, she looked at her arm. The burn wasn't that bad anymore. A bit of skin was peeling, but it wasn't that bad. She quickly brushed her teeth and got ready for school, so she could have all the time that she wanted to walk to school and not be late.

After she was done, she cautiously walked down the stairs, peeking in the kitchen to see if her mother was there. She wasn't. Letting out a breath that she didn't even know she was holding, she walked into the kitchen, grabbed a sandwich and left the house. She ate her sandwich as she walked to school slowly. 'Please don't let Inu-Yasha block my road again today. I really can't deal with him right now.' She sent the small prayer to god, but god had turned his back on her, so unfortunately for her, he and his gang walked into her view as she turned the corner. She decided to slow down a bit, but then she felt like she was walking at a snails pace and, glancing at her watch, there was only ten minutes left. Traveling at that pace, she wouldn't get there until half and hour later. Bracing herself, she walked up to the group and said, "Excuse me!" They all turned and looked at her. Then they looked at Inu-Yasha looking for directions. He waved his hand aside, meaning to let her pass. As Kagome went through the group of boys, she nodded her head briskly at Inu-Yasha as a thank you. She walked at quickly as her legs and muscles let her. Soon she arrived at school and ran to her locker. When she entered her first class, she thought about what happened on her way here. She wondered why Ink you. She walked at quickly as her legs and muscles let her. Soon she arrived at school and ran to her locker. When she entered her first class, she thought about what happened on her way here. She wondered why Inu-Yasha didn't stop her block her way. 'Something's smelling fishy around here', She thought. 'Oh, well.' And she let it slide.

As the day wore on, Kagome's body started hurting. By lunch time, she could barley stand up. She sat under the Sakura tree with her lunchbox in her lap. Instead of eating, she was staring into space, creating a family with love, that she never had. She was still daydreaming until a pair of legs came into her view. Kagome looked up and saw a girl with medium length brown hair. She had on a really short brown skirt and her shirt was low and showed quite a lot of cleavage. Slut was the first word that came into Kagome's mind. "Um....may I help you?" Kagome asked. "Yeah. I'm here to help my cousin. You know... you beat her up really badly yesterday during P.E. class." With those words, Kagome panicked, but before she could do anything, the girl landed a punch on her. Since she was already paining from yesterday, the hard punch that was dealt on her really took an effect on her. For an instant, everything got blurry. As she was on the brink of consciousness, she heard the girl say, "and my name is Mika. Don't you ever forget it."

Inu-Yasha, who was halfway across the school grounds, heard some people whispering about something that happened near the Sakura tree. He and Miroku looked at each other. "I'm gonna go and see what's going on. Wanna come, Miroku?" Inu-Yasha asked. "Nah. I think I'll just stay here and wait for your report." "Fine by me."

Inu-Yasha walked off to where the people were the thickest. "hey, boy, what happened here?" Inu-Yasha asked a random stranger. "Um.. I think, Yura's cousin, Mika, punched Higurashi really hard. Then, somehow, Higurashi fainted." The stranger replied. With that, Inu-Yasha rushed underneath the Sakura Tree. He saw Kagome against the tree, her eyes closed in a dead faint. He quickly ran over and picked her up before he even knew what he was doing.

"Move it bustah," Inu-yasha said as he made his way, with Kagome in his arms, toward the Nurse's Office. All of the students who heard it quickly jumped out of the way, those who didn't got a bruised foot. In fifteen seconds flat, he arrived at the door of the nurse's office. 'Tell me why I'm doing this again?' Inu-Yasha asked himself. 'Because you are a kind gentleman.' Answered his conscious, 'or is it.... you're only a gentle man toward her. ' 'Shut-up' Inu-Yasha said to the tiny voice inside of him.

He opened the door to the nurse's office and stepped inside. The nurse looked up from the magazine on her desk and saw Kagome in Inu-Yasha's arms. "My Gods. What happened here?" she questioned Inu- Yasha. "She got punched by another girl for no reason," was the reply. The nurse pointed toward the bed laid in the office. "Set here down there," she ordered, "Then you may leave. Ah, yes, and if a problem arises you might have to bring her back again." Inu-Yasha nodded as he did what he was told and went to his next class.

After Inu-Yasha left, the nurse looked down at Kagome's unconscious form and shook her head with a sigh. "You were just in here yesterday." She said to herself. "Maybe I overlooked some wounds from P.E. class or you were hurt more than I thought." The nurse lifter Kagome's sleeve and saw a small burn there. 'Didn't see that there yesterday." She thought. 'hmmmmmmmmm....there might be some others that I overlooked. Throughout the process, the nurse found some marks on Kagome's that she didn't see before. She bandaged the burn and sat down on her desk to read her Vogue magazine.

'Ugh.....where am I ?' Kagome thought as she woke upan hour and a half later. 'Ow... my head really hurts.' She looked over and saw the nurse reading. She slowly sat up. Obviously, the nurse heard the noise and said, "Ah! I see you're awake now. How are you feeling?" "My head hurts and so does the rest of my body." "That's not good." The nurse said with a frown. "Here. Take this pill. It'll help relieve the pain."

Kagome took the pill and asked, "What time is it?"

"School's going to be out in about five minutes."

"Oh. May I leave now?"

"Are you sure about this? I really don't want to let you go home by yourself if you're not feeling well."

"I feel better now. I really want to go home now." That was a lie. She wanted to seize the five minutes she cold be dismissed early and run to the pharmacy to pick up some first-aid stuff.

"All right, but if you don't feel well over the weekend, go to the doctors."

"Yes, ma'am"

"Okay. You may leave now."

"Thank You"

Five minutes later, the bell rang. Inu-Yasha bursted out from his classroom door with papers flying all around. He ran with his inhuman speed to his locker, grabbed his books, and ran to the nurse's office. He went inside, but all he saw was the nurse. Kagome wasn't on the bed anymore. "Where did she go?" Inu-Yasha asked the nurse, who was still reading. "Oh, the girl?" 'no, the llama' Inu-Yasha thought sarcastically. "She left... Five minutes ago." The nurse informed him."you should go home too, not stand there." The nurse shooed him down the hallway to the front doors.
As Inu-Yasha stood in front of the school, he sighed. 'Well, I rushed around for nothing.' He thought. 'Gee, thanks, Kagome." He let out another sigh and walked toward his home.
