Disclaimer: Why don't you believe me? I don't own Inuyasha!! I'm broke! (and NOT because I spent all my money on him ^^)
Never been Kissed: The second day is always the worst
* * *
~*Kagome's P.O.V*~
I hate his hands.
No really, I hate his hands.
And it doesn't help that after stroking my spine, they wrapped themselves around my waist. THEN he brought his creepy head right down next to mine and rested it on my shoulder.
"I've missed you Kagome..." Naraku murmured into my ear.
I shuddered inwardly but tried as best as I could to put on a brave face.
"I'm. So. Glad. To. Hear. That." I said like a messed up machine.
While he was inhaling the scent of my hair and causing people to whisper (I mean, I AM new here and everyone knew that, so wouldn't it be weird to you if you saw the new girl with a new guy at the school acting like loved ones? Not that I was acting like I knew him or anything...), my hands rapidly worked the dial on my locker. I practically ripped my old and battered locker off the wall as I wrenched the door open.
Where was my schedule when I needed it??
Why couldn't I remember my first period class??
"What are you looking for?" Naraku asked smoothly.
*cringe*
"My timetabe- ah! Here it is!" I thankfully whipped it out.
Math.
Drat.
*Sigh*...I wasn't quick enough to stop him from grabbing my schedule. He held it up high while he memorized it and because he is quite a bit taller than I am, I didn't even try to take it back until he was ready to give it back. I just stood there with irritation showing obviously, on my face.
"I'll see you in gym, social studies, and cooking. Wonderful." He seemed satisfied that the school had put us in enough classes together. As if they did it on purpose.
Maybe I can blow him up in cooking...of course with my skills, the fire truck will show up before the end of the class and the paramedics will have to unstick us from the ceiling. I mean, we ARE making cinnamon rolls today...oh joy.
Or maybe I'll just go talk to the office about having class changes...
"Well what do ya know?" I studied my imaginary watch, and Sango looked at her own invisible watch, too, "I need to get to my first period class!"
"Math." He said.
"Whatever," I snapped and waved the issue away impatiently. I took off with Sango and Miroku and didn't notice that we were about to pass Kikyo, who was clinging to Inuyasha.
I DID notice her, however, when her foot stuck out and I unceremoniously landed on my stomach.
This looked bad.
"Why, Kagome! What are you doing on the floor?" she mocked.
"I'm taking a nap, you dumb-ass. What's it look like?" I said with irritation.
Maybe I heard wrong, but I could have sworn Inuyasha snorted.
Anyways, that wasn't the answer Kikyo wanted.
And Naraku was behind me in a flash.
He offered me a hand while glaring at Inuyasha and Kikyo, as if the two of them were plotting my death (which Kikyo probably is) but I slapped his hand away and reminded him that I could get up on my own perfectly well.
"No one trips my girlfriend and gets away with it." Naraku snarled at Inuyasha in particular. Why at Inuyasha, I don't know but that wasn't what was first in my mind. Or Inuyasha's.
"Your girlfriend? I'm sorry, I had no idea." Inuyasha mocked, "You're both new so it's not like I would have assumed it."
"GIRLFRIEND??" I hollered at Naraku, "I-DUMPED-YOU-8-TIMES last year!! DON'T YOU GET IT YET???"
"You told me 20." Sango told me.
"You're not helping." I mumbled.
"So why'd you two get back together after you dumped him so many times?" Inuyasha still didn't quite get it.
"Do you seriously think that it was a choice of mine?" I asked him with out a hint of sarcasm.
To my annoyance, Naraku ignored me.
"Touch her and die." He hissed at Inuyasha.
"Don't tell anyone what to do when it concerns me, got it?" I snarled at him.
"Why shouldn't I?" his voice returning smooth, "You're mine, Kagome."
"No...I'm...Not..." I hissed through clenched teeth.
Naraku looked like he was going to take one of our heads off so Sango, Miroku and I decided it was time to leave. I turned around, kicked Kikyo in the shins, and then ran.
It was just like dropping a bomb~!
Pandemonium broke out behind me. ~*evil grin*~
Kikyo was shrieking in outrage, Inuyasha was snarling at Naraku saying that if I WAS his girlfriend, then he should have better control of my actions, and Naraku bellowing back saying that it was their own fault for tripping me in the first place. As Miroku ran into the door, pushing it open, we heard louder yelling and then a fist coming in contact with something. I looked back and saw that Naraku had tried to punch Inuyasha but Inuyasha had dodged at the last minute and so Naraku's fist came in contact with Kikyo's cheek, who was now bawling her eyes out...or maybe he just punched her outright to shut her up (which didn't quite work...). As I continued to watch, I saw that the two of them were both trying to hit each other but they were both good at dodging, so no one was getting hit. The last thing I saw was a ring of students surrounding them chanting 'Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!' and several teachers from nearby classrooms coming out to break up the fight. Then Sango backtracked and grabbed my wrist, nearly yanked my arm out of it's socket, to drag me away from the scene before we were caught. I mean, I had kinda started it but it was Naraku who threw the first punch.
What a day this was going to be: starting out with a cat on my head, a bird outside my window, a doorbell, a rabid dog, a car following us, and now a fight. All before school had even started. And let me remind you that later today, we get to pick our four partners for the density project in science and we also get to make cinnamon rolls in cooking.
Someone up there must really not like me.
* * *
I pluncked my books down on a desk as soon as we were inside the classroom.
"THAT was brilliant!" Miroku exclaimed with a wicked grin.
"Did you really have to kick her in the shins?" Sango sighed tiredly.
"Did she really have to trip me earlier?" I answered her.
"Don't answer with a question, Kagome, it's unhealthy." Miroku said randomly.
I rolled my eyes and turned back to Sango, "Did I really have to kick her in the shins? Absolutely."
"Anyways, that is Naraku?" Miroku asked with disgust.
I nodded miserably.
"Kagome, I don't care if you want our help or not cause you're getting it." Miroku shook his head with a determined look. "I can't stand him already."
"Why, cause he was putting his hands on a girl you haven't touched yet?" Sango teased with a smirk.
"THAT, has nothing to do with it." Miroku turned his nose up into the air.
I looked at Sango, "and plus, his hand already DID find my butt."
Miroku was about to argue with me about that comment and Tadashi just ran in telling me that he had seen the whole thing and was nearly crying with absolute joy, but the bell rang and Mr. Kinoshita walked into the classroom and closed the door behind him.
* * *
Meanwhile...
~*Inuyasha's P.O.V*~
*sigh*
The office is beginning to feel like home...and I don't think that that's a good thing...
"Inuyasha!"
I dully turned to the office attendant, who was dishing out punishments to Naraku and I.
"What."
"Pay attention. Now, for the rest of this week, the two of you will share cleaning up the lunch room, i.e. wiping tables, but Naraku, because you actually injured someone, you will be wiping tables in the lunchroom for the rest of two weeks."
I tried to hide my grin of pleasure as best as I could.
His face was absolutely priceless.
I don't think he has ever held a sponge in his life.
"Is that it?" I asked.
She raised her eyebrows at me, "Inuyasha, if you think that this is getting off easy, then think again-"
"I mean: can we go now?" the annoyance showed clearly in my voice.
"If you are not seen cleaning the tables, then you will have a bigger punishment. Inuyasha, you know what that is."
Indeed I did. Curse her.
"You are excused."
I turned and left the office. Naraku left for his first period class to probably make a 'grand' entrance, and I left for the health room.
As I opened the door, I could hear Kikyo's pitiful sobs from inside.
"Hey, Kikyo..." I said to her.
She looked up from scooping ice into a plastic bag and then dropped it as she threw herself onto me.
"I-I-inu...yasha..." she sobbed
"I'm sorry Kikyo...I didn't realize that you were right behind me. I would have tripped him before his fist could have touched anything if I had of known." I apologized.
She nodded as she sniffled and then turned away to get her ice before her cheek swelled too much.
"Are your teeth okay?"
That was one of the things I was worried about. If that bastard, Naraku, knocked ANY of her teeth loose, he was gonna pay with his jaw. I bet one good punch would knock his jaw, easy. Heh.
But Kikyo nodded her head.
"You gonna go to class?" I asked her.
"Dunno."
"I'll skip class with you if you don't want to walk into class with an ice pack on your mouth." I offered.
She nodded, "Let's stay here then. It should be fine for second period."
I sat of the bench next to her and put my arm around her and in automatic response she leaned against me. We both stared out the window, lost in our own separate thoughts.
I was thinking about that girl...the one who had frightening similarities to Kikyo. Kagome was it? I don't remember...but why'd Kikyo trip her in the hall? It's not like she threw her a dirty look or anything. I guess I don't know everything about Kikyo. She really doesn't like that nimrod, Naraku. How nice. But I don't think anyone would like him. Not even his own mother. I at least have a girlfriend. Who wants me. *smirk* and that Miroku guy and his friend Tadashi seem to like me. I should hang out with them a little more. I guess I would if Kikyo wasn't so demanding of attention. I wonder why she doesn't like them...I wonder why Kagome moved here in the first place. She seems like a cool girl. *sigh* but if I try to know her then Kikyo will think she isn't good enough and she'll hate Kagome and make Kagome miserable. Kikyo...my Kikyo...I feel almost perfect when I'm with her. I just wish she would play a sport. Soccer for instance. Soccer is a cool sport. Actually, soccer is an awesome sport. Why the hell don't they have a boys soccer team?
* * *
~*Kagome's P.O.V*~
"Gooooooood Morning!!!" Mr. Kinoshita said for the second day in a row, "aaaaaand...HAPPY TUESSSSSDAY~!"
H-h-happy...Tuesday...?
"Please, take out your notebooks for today's warm-up quiz!"
There was the sound of shuffling paper as the class proceeded to do so.
Mr. Kinoshita suddenly looked like an old man who just snapped, "Today, class, we will be working on plotting...something evil~! Something sinister!" and then he suddenly went back to normal, "...actually we will be plotting numbers on a scatter plot."
He waited for us to laugh.
Still waiting...
Some people started whisper conversations around the room...
Still waiting...
Someone finally snorted at him.
"Ah ha!! Yuri has a good sense of humor!!" He smiled genuinely at Yuri.
"I say we all vote Yuri out of the classroom..." Tadashi muttered.
"We could have kept the whole class period going like that if she hadn't said anything." Miroku snickered.
"Sorry guys." Yuri mumbled.
I smiled at her.
"I would have probably started giggling like a mad idiot high on Pixie Stixs because he is a sad old man who should be locked up." I told her.
The back corner I sat in laughed as quietly as they could with Yuri, who was in the second row.
"Yes...I know I'm a funny man, but we need to talk about math stuff." Mr. Kinoshita gave us a sappy smile.
What? FUNNY MAN?? *HACK, COUGH, WEEZE!!!!!!* I'm SO sorry Mr. Kinoshita but DON'T FLATTER YOURSELF~!
"Now that you have finished your warm ups...let's warm up to this~!" Mr. Kinoshita ginned at his own stupidity.
Dear...lord...in heaven...please have mercy on us.
A smoke bomb, an escape ladder and a helicopter...that's all I ask...
* * *
When that blissful bell released us, I nearly cheered. The only reason I didn't cheer was because as I checked my schedule, I noticed that I had gym next and I happen to have gym with Kikyo and Naraku. Booooooo...
Sango grabbed me by the wrist again and we both braced our selves as she dragged us out into the current of students. As we neared the doors to the gym, I felt this over whelming aura of evil. Must be because Kikyo AND Naraku were somewhere nearby. -_- I glanced behind me and saw that Kikyo and Inuyasha were about 20 yards away. I dragged Sango up to the door and waited. Just when Kikyo and Inuyasha reached me, I opened the door for them and bowed low. For the full affect, I was going to trip Kikyo, but I felt just a smidgeon of pity towards her because she had an ice pack on her cheek and she has no friends. ^.^ Because I didn't trip her, she raised her eyebrows in suspicion because she was waiting for me to do something. She stopped in the doorway, staring at me.
"You're creating a line, Kikyo." I told her.
"They can wait. Where is my apology?"
"Where's mine?"
"I don't owe you anything!" She looked disgusted.
"Then neither do I." I replied simply. I walked away and she continued to stare at me with absolute shock on her face until the door banged into the back of her head, because she didn't move from the doorjamb when I left.
* * *
We were doing our warm ups before we got to go out to the track and work on our high jumps. Mr. Sukegawa had been watching us with his clipboard yesterday and marked down what he thought we were good at. I'm apparently stuck doing high jump, running long jump and standing long jump. Big whoop. Sango gets to do high jump, relay and running long jump. Miroku is in relay, high jump and shot put. (Tadashi is in everything Miroku is ^^) Kikyo is in relay. That's it. Relay. Inuyasha is in high jump, running long jump and shot put, and Kouga is in Shot put, running long jump and relay. Naraku gets to try everything today.
Sango, Miroku, Tadashi, Inuyasha and I headed over to do high jump together. We lined up with the rest of the people who were practicing high jump first. When it was my turn, I ran up to the bar with speed and then I threw my 'long and graceful' legs over it and landed on my front on the other side. I love the mats that we had to land on. I could sleep on them. ^^ They're so cushy ^_____^ Stupid me forgot that there were other people who weren't willing to let the person before them lie on the mats for an eternity. Inuyasha is one of them. Actually, I don't think he saw me. You see he came running up to the bar in a curving arc and he swung his legs in the scissor movement, like I had, just over the bar and then landed. On me.
"OOOF~!" was kind of what I said.
"Eh?" Inuyasha looked 'under' him (he landed on his back) and saw me. "What are you doing here?? You're supposed to move after you jump, you know."
"Wull scuze me for not bean fast enuff," I managed to say face down in the mat, "but aren't u supposed tuh luck before u jump?"
He snorted as we heard a "YEA HOOOOOOO~!!!" and I then heard Inuyasha yell. I shifted as best as I could and saw Tadashi land on Inuyasha. And my back was going to break if anything else landed on- oh no.
"SANGO!!! STOPP!!!!!!" I heard Inuyasha holler. My eyes bulged as another 115 pounds landed on my poor unstable back.
"Wow!" I heard Sango say, "this pile is getting high! COME ON MIROKU!! SEE IF YOU CAN MAKE IT TO THE TOP!!!"
I made a really weird noise as Miroku piled on too. The funny thing is that Inuyasha seemed to be enjoying this. HE didn't notice that he had three people on him. But then, how often did he do this?
"Hey Kagome! Got any feeling left in your back?" Miroku called down.
I wrestled my left arm out from under me and showed him my 'I really, really, really, hate you right now so if you want to be able to have any feeling left in any part of you, I suggest that you get the hell off of me before I beat you to a bloody pulp' look by flipping him my lovely long middle finger.
"Gee, that's not very nice, Kagome." He said back. I could hear the grin of evil in his voice.
I was probably going to do something very unforgivable in a moment (I was thinking of it) but Mr. Sukegawa came by and started hollering at us to stop horsing around and that however many pushups would be issued if we didn't a move on. I felt a 'scoosh' as Miroku landed on my left side. I made a move with my free hand to strangle him, but he said "whoop~!" as he rolled out of the way. I heard a 'Whump!' as he accidentally rolled off the mat and on to the hard concrete and I snorted at him.
"Shut up..." I heard.
Then Sango rolled off, stepped on Miroku and then Tadashi did the same. Inuyasha finally rolled off me and stepped on Miroku before Miroku could get up. I attempted to move but my right arm that had been trapped under five bodies (including my own) didn't seem to be able to help my left arm support me in getting up. Actually it didn't seem to be able to feel the mat I was still on. I grunted as I made myself roll onto my back and suddenly felt immense pain shoot up my spinal cord.
"AAUGH~!"
"Need help?"
I glanced at the hand that was being offered to me and I took it with my left hand. Inuyasha pulled me up off the mats and I stood on Miroku (who muttered, "what am I, a rug??"), who was still lying on the concrete with shoe imprints on his back.
Every bone in my body seemed to snap, crack, and pop at once.
I stumbled forward, as my legs regained their feeling and my back popped angrily at me.
And Inuyasha caught me. Under the arms -_-.
Just then, "KAGOME~!" Naraku came charging up with anger in his eyes. "DON'T YOU TOUCH HIM!!"
"Naraku, he was helping me stand. You weren't anywhere near by, so what was I to do? Hm?"
As Naraku reached us, he didn't slow down. I think he was going to body check Inuyasha but Inuyasha spun me out of the way a said "Alley-Oop~!" as he tripped Naraku who went flying onto the high jump mat just as the next person was jumping. And that next person landed on Naraku's head. I felt sorry for the kid because Naraku wouldn't forget this and would probably give him a sound beating after school.
Well, he would have if had of seen the kid's face, but because the kid landed on Naraku's head, his head was forced into the mat.
It would have been absolutely hilarious if the kid had of farted...
* * *
Miroku and I were in no condition to continue gym, so Mr. Sukegawa excused us to go and get some ice for our backs, but only after lecturing us about our 'childish behavior'.
Miroku led us to the health room and he shoveled ice cubes into a little bag for his shoe imprint. I loaded it into a plastic bag I found in the corner of the room and flopped down onto one of the beds while evenly spreading the bag across my poor, mistreated back.
Naraku stroked it, Inuyasha fell on it, and any second now, Kouga was going to burst in and start attempting to massage it.
Miroku taped his ice bag to his back with a roll of duct tape near by and then sat on the bed I was lying on and then started to massage my back around the ice bag.
I guess Miroku instead of Kouga was better any day.
"Feel a little better?" he asked me.
"Actually, yes...and it hurts more near my shoulders...not near my butt."
"Ah, but Kagome, I know the right pressure points are at the bottom of the back to make the top-" he started to fib.
"No, they aren't."
"Hmph."
"Thank you."
"I just think that you're just telling me off is because you aren't strong enough to fight back~!" he winked.
"Just remember: if you try ANYTHING, I'll pound you the next time I can stand right."
"Got it."
* * *
The bell rang to dismiss us from our second period to our third. I pulled my shirt on in the girls' locker room and took the elastic that I had in for gym, out. I grabbed my books and as soon I opened the door, Naraku hooked his arm onto mine.
"We have social studies together."
"How could I have forgotten?" I said dryly.
Just then, I felt my books be pulled out right from beneath my right arm. Naraku plopped them into a black cloth bag with a shoulder strap and then handed it back to me.
"What's this?" I asked.
"You told me that you misplaced your last one so I called in a told them what I wanted manufactured."
"...uh...thank you (I guess (()" I said as I looked over the book bag.
It was black cloth with 'Kagome' embroidered in a blue so pale that it was almost white, with flowers of different shades of blue, woven around the letters.
"It's very nice, Naraku," I said, just like I said every time he gave me something I felt like keeping (which is almost never).
"You can be so polite sometimes, Kagome. I love you~" he whispered right into my ear.
I really, really hate it when he says that. His face was right next to mine as Sango caught up to me.
Suddenly...his lips came in contact with my cheek.
My teeth clenched together and every part of my body froze, except for my legs, which somehow managed to keep walking. Sango gave me one helluva sympathetic look and muttered "grin and bear it" in my ear.
That's exactly what I was trying to do, but with the way I was grinning, my teeth were going to break soon.
Suddenly Naraku was jolted off of my cheek as Miroku body slammed him.
"Hey Naraku! Wanna be friends? It's a pity we only have P.E. together, you look like a smart guy! We should have coffee together sometime! I could show you the best store in the town, of course it's probably owned by your father because he owns a whole string of different kinds of shops! I mean, He owns a coffee brand, a newspaper, and even a TV station! It must be pretty cool being his son, I mean, you must be really rich!!!"
That look in Naraku's eyes at the moment, as he picked himself up off the ground, was saying 'I'm going to crush this man'.
I suddenly hoped that Miroku had taken a martial art, or could run really, really fast.
"Well, I'll be getting to class then," Miroku said.
I mouthed him 'Thank you!!' while Naraku's back was turned and Miroku winked back in reply.
Naraku then continued to steer us to social studies.
* * *
Alright, for twenty minutes before third period, we have something called homeroom. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we read for those twenty minutes. On Tuesday and Thursday, we can hang out and such in the classroom. Put it this way: with Naraku and Kikyo in your homeroom, it's the ultimate hellhole.
The class Social studies went well enough and I managed to escape to lunch before Naraku caught me. I located Tadashi with Haruna and Minami at one of the tables and I took my homemade lunch over there and sat with them.
Sango, Yumi, Sayori and Miroku soon joined us.
"Who's that guy, Kagome? The new one who is acting like he's been your boyfriend for a year?" Haruna asked with huge eyes.
"His name is Naraku and he HAS been my boyfriend for the past year."
"Really?? Hey that's such a pretty bag he gave you too~!"
Haruna, it appears, is quite a bit dim.
"I'd give it to you if it didn't have my name embroidered on it."
"Really?? Gee thanks!!"
At this point, to stop further conversation, I started to snarf my lunch.
I literally snarf it.
It took me a minute to realize that the others were watching me with wide eyes.
"Whut?" I asked over a huge mouthful of Ramen.
"Nothing!" Miroku and the others returned to their own lunches.
As I finished the Ramen (in two minutes), I pulled out a small case of six small sushi rolls and began to devour them too. After the Ramen, Sushi, box of Pocky sticks, can of soda, moshi, sashimi and a cookie, I began observing everyone else's lunch.
"You gonna eat that?" I pointed to Tadashi's dessert.
He nodded and wolfed it before my eyes.
I pouted and turned to Sango and gave her my huge doll face.
"What do ya want?"
I pointed to her remaining warm pork bun.
She rolled her eyes and split it in half and gave half to me.
After devouring the sweet, tasty bun, I licked my lips and finally joined conversation.
* * *
Let's just say that Mr. Myoga made things easy for me and picked the groups. Seeing as the tables of two are in a line of two, he made us work with our table row. I get to work with Akina, Hiroshi, and none other than Inuyasha. We spent the period arguing about what colours the balloon should be.
Akina and I wanted blue, purple and green and the boys wanted red, orange, black, and yellow.
"Blue, purple, and green are the colours of the sea!" Akina was trying to persuade them.
"Yea? Well red, orange, yellow, and black are fire colours!" Inuyasha shot back.
"But our colours are so much prettier!" Akina fired.
"So? Who wants pretty??? With our colours, you'll see the balloon clearly if it's sunny OR cloudy!!"
"Who wants to see it if it's ugly??"
"UGLY?? IT'S NOT UGLY!! YOUR COLOURS ARE UGLY!!!!"
Hiroshi and I sweatdropped on the sidelines while waiting for the two of them to compromise.
~~~~~~
40 minutes later...
"FINE! WE'LL DO IT THAT WAY, THEN!"
"GOOD!"
~~~~~~
I cannot believe it.
They've managed to compromise on using ALL the colours.
Ours will be the ugliest balloon in the sky.
I can just picture it.
Pretty balloon, pretty balloon, pretty balloon, OH MY GAWD SOMEONE PUT A BULLET THROUGH IT, pretty balloon, pretty balloon.
* * *
Cooking.
Can my day get any worse?
I entered the room and walked over to the table that Sango, Sayori and Yumi were sitting at. As the bell rang, Naraku walked into the classroom.
"You must be Hibara, Naraku! Welcome!" Mrs. Nakashima gave him a 'dazzling' smile (you know, the one I'm sick of already).
He just nodded at her.
"Today, we are going to be making the cinnamon rolls! I'm going to put you into groups of four or five and then I'll tell you which stove you get."
We sat tight and waited.
"Let's see..."
Bloody Hell!!!
I'm in a group with Sango, Inuyasha and Naraku.
Apparently my day can get worse.
"Well...Kagome! Why don't you and...Inuyasha go and get the ingredients and...Naraku and I will get out the equipment! ^^'" Sango hesitantly suggested.
Inuyasha and I wandered over to the tray full of flower, butter, cinnamon and lots of other things.
"So...what do we get?" I asked him.
"I don't know. I wasn't listening yesterday."
"Why don't we just grab a little bit of everything?" I casually suggested.
"Or why don't we take everything?"
"Why not."
I grabbed the unopened flour bag, 10 sticks of butter and the container of sugar. Inuyasha took everything else. We came back to the stove where Naraku and Sango had gotten everything out. I have sneaking suspicions that Naraku did absolutely nothing.
We dumped out loot onto the counter.
"So, who wants to read the instructions?" Sango asked.
"I'LL do that!" Naraku said with a regal attitude.
"Okaaaaaay...and who wants to put in the ingredients?"
"I guess I will." I volunteered.
"That leaves Inuyasha and I to clean up!"
"Keh."
It is quite clear to me that Naraku has never read a cookbook before. In the end, I put in 3 eggs, a tablespoon of cinnamon, five sticks of butter, too much flour, and a hell of a lot of sugar. I think some vanilla, water, milk and......vinegar went into it also...
When I opened up the flour, I accidentally ripped it open, so flour flew around the place and landed in our hair, giving others the impression that we had just aged 30 years.
When I tried to work with the dough, it was so stiff because of the humungous amount of flour and the lack of liquid ingredients.
It wouldn't even tear.
How am I supposed to make eight cinnamon rolls if the ruddy dough won't tear??
"Let me try, Kagome," Sango offered.
She stretched it, she cut it, and it just wouldn't tear.
"Let me try it!!" Inuyasha stood over her with a cleaver in his hands.
Inuyasha attacked the dough with a vengeance (actually, he attacked it with a cleaver).
"100 STRIKES!!" he yelled madly.
When he finished his 100 strikes, he started cursing madly when he saw the dough sitting there as if nothing had touched it.
"I'LL TEAR IT APART!!" Naraku grabbed the dough and started to pull it apart with his teeth.
I'm defiantly not eating this now.
Suddenly there was an, "AUGH~!" and Naraku whipped the dough out of his mouth.
It had blood on it and then I saw a tooth protruding from the center of the blood.
Nightmares in the Kitchen.
"HERE!" Sango yelled as she stuffed the entire wad of dough into Naraku's mouth, "THAT'LL STOP THE BLEEDING!!"
Naraku looked like he was going to puke.
"Thith stuff tasths disthguthting!" he said as best as he could.
"After 5 sticks of butter, I'm sure it does." I commented.
When he pulled it out of his mouth, the bleeding had stopped.
"I wonder what would happen if we put it in the oven!" Inuyasha said wildly.
He snatched the dough and rolled it up as best as he could and threw it on to a tray and tossed it into the oven. He swung the temperature dial to 400 and we all sat and waited.
"I dare someone to eat that." Sango said.
"It's gonna be Naraku. It's his tooth and blood in that thing." I replied.
"Class! While we wait for our cinnamon rolls to bake, let's read a story!" Mrs. Nakashima exclaimed.
"She's almost worse than Mr. Kinoshita." I stared.
"Come on." was all Sango said.
Halfway through the story I heard Inuyasha mutter 'Uh oh."
I glanced in his direction and then followed his eyesight.
Our oven was smoking.
Oh crap.
I turned my attention back to the story, as no one else had noticed, and I hoped everything would be all right.
Of course, I should have known that it wouldn't be all right because so far my day had been ruined so why wouldn't the rest of the day be crap also?
The oven exploded. And so did the class.
Everyone was screaming and yelling, I'm amazed that the principal hadn't shown up yet.
When the smoke cleared, I saw that our part of the kitchen was on fire. Someone else yanked the fire alarm and the entire school proceeded in evacuating the school.
And it was all our fault.
Actually, it was Inuyasha's because he put the vile thing in the oven but we made it.
"You're on clean up duty," I muttered in his ear.
He glared at me.
^^
The fire truck showed up and put out the fire and 40 minutes later, we were allowed back into the school. Nothing had been badly burned or damaged and no one was hurt.
"I demand to know who started all this!" The principal stood in front of our class.
Of course, no one raised their hands. We weren't stupid.
Well, aside from starting this whole commotion, we weren't stupid.
And lucky us, Mrs. Nakamura had forgotten whom she had assigned that part of the kitchen to and of course, everyone else had been focusing on their food that they didn't pay attention to us.
My day had a highlight! We weren't caught!
* * *
Because of the fire, there was only about two minutes left of school so I didn't have to go to language arts(!).
Miroku ran up to Sango and I after school that day as we were leaving.
"YOU GUYS WERE IN THAT CLASS, WEREN'T YOU!! YOU'RE OKAY RIGHT?? WHO DID IT???"
"Well...we did it..." I muttered.
"WE didn't but Inuyasha was the one who put it in the oven." Sango corrected me.
Miroku stared in shock.
"I told you I can't cook." I said, as we stopped at my house.
Sango kept walking home and I went into the kitchen to get a snack.
I stood in the window of my bedroom and looked out into the street. A black Mercedes car parked outside suddenly started and drove away.
I looked at the license plate: Gr8 one.
Great one?
That won't be hard to forget.
And I'm willing to bet a whole lot of money that it was one of Naraku's cars.

Never been Kissed: The second day is always the worst
* * *
~*Kagome's P.O.V*~
I hate his hands.
No really, I hate his hands.
And it doesn't help that after stroking my spine, they wrapped themselves around my waist. THEN he brought his creepy head right down next to mine and rested it on my shoulder.
"I've missed you Kagome..." Naraku murmured into my ear.
I shuddered inwardly but tried as best as I could to put on a brave face.
"I'm. So. Glad. To. Hear. That." I said like a messed up machine.
While he was inhaling the scent of my hair and causing people to whisper (I mean, I AM new here and everyone knew that, so wouldn't it be weird to you if you saw the new girl with a new guy at the school acting like loved ones? Not that I was acting like I knew him or anything...), my hands rapidly worked the dial on my locker. I practically ripped my old and battered locker off the wall as I wrenched the door open.
Where was my schedule when I needed it??
Why couldn't I remember my first period class??
"What are you looking for?" Naraku asked smoothly.
*cringe*
"My timetabe- ah! Here it is!" I thankfully whipped it out.
Math.
Drat.
*Sigh*...I wasn't quick enough to stop him from grabbing my schedule. He held it up high while he memorized it and because he is quite a bit taller than I am, I didn't even try to take it back until he was ready to give it back. I just stood there with irritation showing obviously, on my face.
"I'll see you in gym, social studies, and cooking. Wonderful." He seemed satisfied that the school had put us in enough classes together. As if they did it on purpose.
Maybe I can blow him up in cooking...of course with my skills, the fire truck will show up before the end of the class and the paramedics will have to unstick us from the ceiling. I mean, we ARE making cinnamon rolls today...oh joy.
Or maybe I'll just go talk to the office about having class changes...
"Well what do ya know?" I studied my imaginary watch, and Sango looked at her own invisible watch, too, "I need to get to my first period class!"
"Math." He said.
"Whatever," I snapped and waved the issue away impatiently. I took off with Sango and Miroku and didn't notice that we were about to pass Kikyo, who was clinging to Inuyasha.
I DID notice her, however, when her foot stuck out and I unceremoniously landed on my stomach.
This looked bad.
"Why, Kagome! What are you doing on the floor?" she mocked.
"I'm taking a nap, you dumb-ass. What's it look like?" I said with irritation.
Maybe I heard wrong, but I could have sworn Inuyasha snorted.
Anyways, that wasn't the answer Kikyo wanted.
And Naraku was behind me in a flash.
He offered me a hand while glaring at Inuyasha and Kikyo, as if the two of them were plotting my death (which Kikyo probably is) but I slapped his hand away and reminded him that I could get up on my own perfectly well.
"No one trips my girlfriend and gets away with it." Naraku snarled at Inuyasha in particular. Why at Inuyasha, I don't know but that wasn't what was first in my mind. Or Inuyasha's.
"Your girlfriend? I'm sorry, I had no idea." Inuyasha mocked, "You're both new so it's not like I would have assumed it."
"GIRLFRIEND??" I hollered at Naraku, "I-DUMPED-YOU-8-TIMES last year!! DON'T YOU GET IT YET???"
"You told me 20." Sango told me.
"You're not helping." I mumbled.
"So why'd you two get back together after you dumped him so many times?" Inuyasha still didn't quite get it.
"Do you seriously think that it was a choice of mine?" I asked him with out a hint of sarcasm.
To my annoyance, Naraku ignored me.
"Touch her and die." He hissed at Inuyasha.
"Don't tell anyone what to do when it concerns me, got it?" I snarled at him.
"Why shouldn't I?" his voice returning smooth, "You're mine, Kagome."
"No...I'm...Not..." I hissed through clenched teeth.
Naraku looked like he was going to take one of our heads off so Sango, Miroku and I decided it was time to leave. I turned around, kicked Kikyo in the shins, and then ran.
It was just like dropping a bomb~!
Pandemonium broke out behind me. ~*evil grin*~
Kikyo was shrieking in outrage, Inuyasha was snarling at Naraku saying that if I WAS his girlfriend, then he should have better control of my actions, and Naraku bellowing back saying that it was their own fault for tripping me in the first place. As Miroku ran into the door, pushing it open, we heard louder yelling and then a fist coming in contact with something. I looked back and saw that Naraku had tried to punch Inuyasha but Inuyasha had dodged at the last minute and so Naraku's fist came in contact with Kikyo's cheek, who was now bawling her eyes out...or maybe he just punched her outright to shut her up (which didn't quite work...). As I continued to watch, I saw that the two of them were both trying to hit each other but they were both good at dodging, so no one was getting hit. The last thing I saw was a ring of students surrounding them chanting 'Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!' and several teachers from nearby classrooms coming out to break up the fight. Then Sango backtracked and grabbed my wrist, nearly yanked my arm out of it's socket, to drag me away from the scene before we were caught. I mean, I had kinda started it but it was Naraku who threw the first punch.
What a day this was going to be: starting out with a cat on my head, a bird outside my window, a doorbell, a rabid dog, a car following us, and now a fight. All before school had even started. And let me remind you that later today, we get to pick our four partners for the density project in science and we also get to make cinnamon rolls in cooking.
Someone up there must really not like me.
* * *
I pluncked my books down on a desk as soon as we were inside the classroom.
"THAT was brilliant!" Miroku exclaimed with a wicked grin.
"Did you really have to kick her in the shins?" Sango sighed tiredly.
"Did she really have to trip me earlier?" I answered her.
"Don't answer with a question, Kagome, it's unhealthy." Miroku said randomly.
I rolled my eyes and turned back to Sango, "Did I really have to kick her in the shins? Absolutely."
"Anyways, that is Naraku?" Miroku asked with disgust.
I nodded miserably.
"Kagome, I don't care if you want our help or not cause you're getting it." Miroku shook his head with a determined look. "I can't stand him already."
"Why, cause he was putting his hands on a girl you haven't touched yet?" Sango teased with a smirk.
"THAT, has nothing to do with it." Miroku turned his nose up into the air.
I looked at Sango, "and plus, his hand already DID find my butt."
Miroku was about to argue with me about that comment and Tadashi just ran in telling me that he had seen the whole thing and was nearly crying with absolute joy, but the bell rang and Mr. Kinoshita walked into the classroom and closed the door behind him.
* * *
Meanwhile...
~*Inuyasha's P.O.V*~
*sigh*
The office is beginning to feel like home...and I don't think that that's a good thing...
"Inuyasha!"
I dully turned to the office attendant, who was dishing out punishments to Naraku and I.
"What."
"Pay attention. Now, for the rest of this week, the two of you will share cleaning up the lunch room, i.e. wiping tables, but Naraku, because you actually injured someone, you will be wiping tables in the lunchroom for the rest of two weeks."
I tried to hide my grin of pleasure as best as I could.
His face was absolutely priceless.
I don't think he has ever held a sponge in his life.
"Is that it?" I asked.
She raised her eyebrows at me, "Inuyasha, if you think that this is getting off easy, then think again-"
"I mean: can we go now?" the annoyance showed clearly in my voice.
"If you are not seen cleaning the tables, then you will have a bigger punishment. Inuyasha, you know what that is."
Indeed I did. Curse her.
"You are excused."
I turned and left the office. Naraku left for his first period class to probably make a 'grand' entrance, and I left for the health room.
As I opened the door, I could hear Kikyo's pitiful sobs from inside.
"Hey, Kikyo..." I said to her.
She looked up from scooping ice into a plastic bag and then dropped it as she threw herself onto me.
"I-I-inu...yasha..." she sobbed
"I'm sorry Kikyo...I didn't realize that you were right behind me. I would have tripped him before his fist could have touched anything if I had of known." I apologized.
She nodded as she sniffled and then turned away to get her ice before her cheek swelled too much.
"Are your teeth okay?"
That was one of the things I was worried about. If that bastard, Naraku, knocked ANY of her teeth loose, he was gonna pay with his jaw. I bet one good punch would knock his jaw, easy. Heh.
But Kikyo nodded her head.
"You gonna go to class?" I asked her.
"Dunno."
"I'll skip class with you if you don't want to walk into class with an ice pack on your mouth." I offered.
She nodded, "Let's stay here then. It should be fine for second period."
I sat of the bench next to her and put my arm around her and in automatic response she leaned against me. We both stared out the window, lost in our own separate thoughts.
I was thinking about that girl...the one who had frightening similarities to Kikyo. Kagome was it? I don't remember...but why'd Kikyo trip her in the hall? It's not like she threw her a dirty look or anything. I guess I don't know everything about Kikyo. She really doesn't like that nimrod, Naraku. How nice. But I don't think anyone would like him. Not even his own mother. I at least have a girlfriend. Who wants me. *smirk* and that Miroku guy and his friend Tadashi seem to like me. I should hang out with them a little more. I guess I would if Kikyo wasn't so demanding of attention. I wonder why she doesn't like them...I wonder why Kagome moved here in the first place. She seems like a cool girl. *sigh* but if I try to know her then Kikyo will think she isn't good enough and she'll hate Kagome and make Kagome miserable. Kikyo...my Kikyo...I feel almost perfect when I'm with her. I just wish she would play a sport. Soccer for instance. Soccer is a cool sport. Actually, soccer is an awesome sport. Why the hell don't they have a boys soccer team?
* * *
~*Kagome's P.O.V*~
"Gooooooood Morning!!!" Mr. Kinoshita said for the second day in a row, "aaaaaand...HAPPY TUESSSSSDAY~!"
H-h-happy...Tuesday...?
"Please, take out your notebooks for today's warm-up quiz!"
There was the sound of shuffling paper as the class proceeded to do so.
Mr. Kinoshita suddenly looked like an old man who just snapped, "Today, class, we will be working on plotting...something evil~! Something sinister!" and then he suddenly went back to normal, "...actually we will be plotting numbers on a scatter plot."
He waited for us to laugh.
Still waiting...
Some people started whisper conversations around the room...
Still waiting...
Someone finally snorted at him.
"Ah ha!! Yuri has a good sense of humor!!" He smiled genuinely at Yuri.
"I say we all vote Yuri out of the classroom..." Tadashi muttered.
"We could have kept the whole class period going like that if she hadn't said anything." Miroku snickered.
"Sorry guys." Yuri mumbled.
I smiled at her.
"I would have probably started giggling like a mad idiot high on Pixie Stixs because he is a sad old man who should be locked up." I told her.
The back corner I sat in laughed as quietly as they could with Yuri, who was in the second row.
"Yes...I know I'm a funny man, but we need to talk about math stuff." Mr. Kinoshita gave us a sappy smile.
What? FUNNY MAN?? *HACK, COUGH, WEEZE!!!!!!* I'm SO sorry Mr. Kinoshita but DON'T FLATTER YOURSELF~!
"Now that you have finished your warm ups...let's warm up to this~!" Mr. Kinoshita ginned at his own stupidity.
Dear...lord...in heaven...please have mercy on us.
A smoke bomb, an escape ladder and a helicopter...that's all I ask...
* * *
When that blissful bell released us, I nearly cheered. The only reason I didn't cheer was because as I checked my schedule, I noticed that I had gym next and I happen to have gym with Kikyo and Naraku. Booooooo...
Sango grabbed me by the wrist again and we both braced our selves as she dragged us out into the current of students. As we neared the doors to the gym, I felt this over whelming aura of evil. Must be because Kikyo AND Naraku were somewhere nearby. -_- I glanced behind me and saw that Kikyo and Inuyasha were about 20 yards away. I dragged Sango up to the door and waited. Just when Kikyo and Inuyasha reached me, I opened the door for them and bowed low. For the full affect, I was going to trip Kikyo, but I felt just a smidgeon of pity towards her because she had an ice pack on her cheek and she has no friends. ^.^ Because I didn't trip her, she raised her eyebrows in suspicion because she was waiting for me to do something. She stopped in the doorway, staring at me.
"You're creating a line, Kikyo." I told her.
"They can wait. Where is my apology?"
"Where's mine?"
"I don't owe you anything!" She looked disgusted.
"Then neither do I." I replied simply. I walked away and she continued to stare at me with absolute shock on her face until the door banged into the back of her head, because she didn't move from the doorjamb when I left.
* * *
We were doing our warm ups before we got to go out to the track and work on our high jumps. Mr. Sukegawa had been watching us with his clipboard yesterday and marked down what he thought we were good at. I'm apparently stuck doing high jump, running long jump and standing long jump. Big whoop. Sango gets to do high jump, relay and running long jump. Miroku is in relay, high jump and shot put. (Tadashi is in everything Miroku is ^^) Kikyo is in relay. That's it. Relay. Inuyasha is in high jump, running long jump and shot put, and Kouga is in Shot put, running long jump and relay. Naraku gets to try everything today.
Sango, Miroku, Tadashi, Inuyasha and I headed over to do high jump together. We lined up with the rest of the people who were practicing high jump first. When it was my turn, I ran up to the bar with speed and then I threw my 'long and graceful' legs over it and landed on my front on the other side. I love the mats that we had to land on. I could sleep on them. ^^ They're so cushy ^_____^ Stupid me forgot that there were other people who weren't willing to let the person before them lie on the mats for an eternity. Inuyasha is one of them. Actually, I don't think he saw me. You see he came running up to the bar in a curving arc and he swung his legs in the scissor movement, like I had, just over the bar and then landed. On me.
"OOOF~!" was kind of what I said.
"Eh?" Inuyasha looked 'under' him (he landed on his back) and saw me. "What are you doing here?? You're supposed to move after you jump, you know."
"Wull scuze me for not bean fast enuff," I managed to say face down in the mat, "but aren't u supposed tuh luck before u jump?"
He snorted as we heard a "YEA HOOOOOOO~!!!" and I then heard Inuyasha yell. I shifted as best as I could and saw Tadashi land on Inuyasha. And my back was going to break if anything else landed on- oh no.
"SANGO!!! STOPP!!!!!!" I heard Inuyasha holler. My eyes bulged as another 115 pounds landed on my poor unstable back.
"Wow!" I heard Sango say, "this pile is getting high! COME ON MIROKU!! SEE IF YOU CAN MAKE IT TO THE TOP!!!"
I made a really weird noise as Miroku piled on too. The funny thing is that Inuyasha seemed to be enjoying this. HE didn't notice that he had three people on him. But then, how often did he do this?
"Hey Kagome! Got any feeling left in your back?" Miroku called down.
I wrestled my left arm out from under me and showed him my 'I really, really, really, hate you right now so if you want to be able to have any feeling left in any part of you, I suggest that you get the hell off of me before I beat you to a bloody pulp' look by flipping him my lovely long middle finger.
"Gee, that's not very nice, Kagome." He said back. I could hear the grin of evil in his voice.
I was probably going to do something very unforgivable in a moment (I was thinking of it) but Mr. Sukegawa came by and started hollering at us to stop horsing around and that however many pushups would be issued if we didn't a move on. I felt a 'scoosh' as Miroku landed on my left side. I made a move with my free hand to strangle him, but he said "whoop~!" as he rolled out of the way. I heard a 'Whump!' as he accidentally rolled off the mat and on to the hard concrete and I snorted at him.
"Shut up..." I heard.
Then Sango rolled off, stepped on Miroku and then Tadashi did the same. Inuyasha finally rolled off me and stepped on Miroku before Miroku could get up. I attempted to move but my right arm that had been trapped under five bodies (including my own) didn't seem to be able to help my left arm support me in getting up. Actually it didn't seem to be able to feel the mat I was still on. I grunted as I made myself roll onto my back and suddenly felt immense pain shoot up my spinal cord.
"AAUGH~!"
"Need help?"
I glanced at the hand that was being offered to me and I took it with my left hand. Inuyasha pulled me up off the mats and I stood on Miroku (who muttered, "what am I, a rug??"), who was still lying on the concrete with shoe imprints on his back.
Every bone in my body seemed to snap, crack, and pop at once.
I stumbled forward, as my legs regained their feeling and my back popped angrily at me.
And Inuyasha caught me. Under the arms -_-.
Just then, "KAGOME~!" Naraku came charging up with anger in his eyes. "DON'T YOU TOUCH HIM!!"
"Naraku, he was helping me stand. You weren't anywhere near by, so what was I to do? Hm?"
As Naraku reached us, he didn't slow down. I think he was going to body check Inuyasha but Inuyasha spun me out of the way a said "Alley-Oop~!" as he tripped Naraku who went flying onto the high jump mat just as the next person was jumping. And that next person landed on Naraku's head. I felt sorry for the kid because Naraku wouldn't forget this and would probably give him a sound beating after school.
Well, he would have if had of seen the kid's face, but because the kid landed on Naraku's head, his head was forced into the mat.
It would have been absolutely hilarious if the kid had of farted...
* * *
Miroku and I were in no condition to continue gym, so Mr. Sukegawa excused us to go and get some ice for our backs, but only after lecturing us about our 'childish behavior'.
Miroku led us to the health room and he shoveled ice cubes into a little bag for his shoe imprint. I loaded it into a plastic bag I found in the corner of the room and flopped down onto one of the beds while evenly spreading the bag across my poor, mistreated back.
Naraku stroked it, Inuyasha fell on it, and any second now, Kouga was going to burst in and start attempting to massage it.
Miroku taped his ice bag to his back with a roll of duct tape near by and then sat on the bed I was lying on and then started to massage my back around the ice bag.
I guess Miroku instead of Kouga was better any day.
"Feel a little better?" he asked me.
"Actually, yes...and it hurts more near my shoulders...not near my butt."
"Ah, but Kagome, I know the right pressure points are at the bottom of the back to make the top-" he started to fib.
"No, they aren't."
"Hmph."
"Thank you."
"I just think that you're just telling me off is because you aren't strong enough to fight back~!" he winked.
"Just remember: if you try ANYTHING, I'll pound you the next time I can stand right."
"Got it."
* * *
The bell rang to dismiss us from our second period to our third. I pulled my shirt on in the girls' locker room and took the elastic that I had in for gym, out. I grabbed my books and as soon I opened the door, Naraku hooked his arm onto mine.
"We have social studies together."
"How could I have forgotten?" I said dryly.
Just then, I felt my books be pulled out right from beneath my right arm. Naraku plopped them into a black cloth bag with a shoulder strap and then handed it back to me.
"What's this?" I asked.
"You told me that you misplaced your last one so I called in a told them what I wanted manufactured."
"...uh...thank you (I guess (()" I said as I looked over the book bag.
It was black cloth with 'Kagome' embroidered in a blue so pale that it was almost white, with flowers of different shades of blue, woven around the letters.
"It's very nice, Naraku," I said, just like I said every time he gave me something I felt like keeping (which is almost never).
"You can be so polite sometimes, Kagome. I love you~" he whispered right into my ear.
I really, really hate it when he says that. His face was right next to mine as Sango caught up to me.
Suddenly...his lips came in contact with my cheek.
My teeth clenched together and every part of my body froze, except for my legs, which somehow managed to keep walking. Sango gave me one helluva sympathetic look and muttered "grin and bear it" in my ear.
That's exactly what I was trying to do, but with the way I was grinning, my teeth were going to break soon.
Suddenly Naraku was jolted off of my cheek as Miroku body slammed him.
"Hey Naraku! Wanna be friends? It's a pity we only have P.E. together, you look like a smart guy! We should have coffee together sometime! I could show you the best store in the town, of course it's probably owned by your father because he owns a whole string of different kinds of shops! I mean, He owns a coffee brand, a newspaper, and even a TV station! It must be pretty cool being his son, I mean, you must be really rich!!!"
That look in Naraku's eyes at the moment, as he picked himself up off the ground, was saying 'I'm going to crush this man'.
I suddenly hoped that Miroku had taken a martial art, or could run really, really fast.
"Well, I'll be getting to class then," Miroku said.
I mouthed him 'Thank you!!' while Naraku's back was turned and Miroku winked back in reply.
Naraku then continued to steer us to social studies.
* * *
Alright, for twenty minutes before third period, we have something called homeroom. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we read for those twenty minutes. On Tuesday and Thursday, we can hang out and such in the classroom. Put it this way: with Naraku and Kikyo in your homeroom, it's the ultimate hellhole.
The class Social studies went well enough and I managed to escape to lunch before Naraku caught me. I located Tadashi with Haruna and Minami at one of the tables and I took my homemade lunch over there and sat with them.
Sango, Yumi, Sayori and Miroku soon joined us.
"Who's that guy, Kagome? The new one who is acting like he's been your boyfriend for a year?" Haruna asked with huge eyes.
"His name is Naraku and he HAS been my boyfriend for the past year."
"Really?? Hey that's such a pretty bag he gave you too~!"
Haruna, it appears, is quite a bit dim.
"I'd give it to you if it didn't have my name embroidered on it."
"Really?? Gee thanks!!"
At this point, to stop further conversation, I started to snarf my lunch.
I literally snarf it.
It took me a minute to realize that the others were watching me with wide eyes.
"Whut?" I asked over a huge mouthful of Ramen.
"Nothing!" Miroku and the others returned to their own lunches.
As I finished the Ramen (in two minutes), I pulled out a small case of six small sushi rolls and began to devour them too. After the Ramen, Sushi, box of Pocky sticks, can of soda, moshi, sashimi and a cookie, I began observing everyone else's lunch.
"You gonna eat that?" I pointed to Tadashi's dessert.
He nodded and wolfed it before my eyes.
I pouted and turned to Sango and gave her my huge doll face.
"What do ya want?"
I pointed to her remaining warm pork bun.
She rolled her eyes and split it in half and gave half to me.
After devouring the sweet, tasty bun, I licked my lips and finally joined conversation.
* * *
Let's just say that Mr. Myoga made things easy for me and picked the groups. Seeing as the tables of two are in a line of two, he made us work with our table row. I get to work with Akina, Hiroshi, and none other than Inuyasha. We spent the period arguing about what colours the balloon should be.
Akina and I wanted blue, purple and green and the boys wanted red, orange, black, and yellow.
"Blue, purple, and green are the colours of the sea!" Akina was trying to persuade them.
"Yea? Well red, orange, yellow, and black are fire colours!" Inuyasha shot back.
"But our colours are so much prettier!" Akina fired.
"So? Who wants pretty??? With our colours, you'll see the balloon clearly if it's sunny OR cloudy!!"
"Who wants to see it if it's ugly??"
"UGLY?? IT'S NOT UGLY!! YOUR COLOURS ARE UGLY!!!!"
Hiroshi and I sweatdropped on the sidelines while waiting for the two of them to compromise.
~~~~~~
40 minutes later...
"FINE! WE'LL DO IT THAT WAY, THEN!"
"GOOD!"
~~~~~~
I cannot believe it.
They've managed to compromise on using ALL the colours.
Ours will be the ugliest balloon in the sky.
I can just picture it.
Pretty balloon, pretty balloon, pretty balloon, OH MY GAWD SOMEONE PUT A BULLET THROUGH IT, pretty balloon, pretty balloon.
* * *
Cooking.
Can my day get any worse?
I entered the room and walked over to the table that Sango, Sayori and Yumi were sitting at. As the bell rang, Naraku walked into the classroom.
"You must be Hibara, Naraku! Welcome!" Mrs. Nakashima gave him a 'dazzling' smile (you know, the one I'm sick of already).
He just nodded at her.
"Today, we are going to be making the cinnamon rolls! I'm going to put you into groups of four or five and then I'll tell you which stove you get."
We sat tight and waited.
"Let's see..."
Bloody Hell!!!
I'm in a group with Sango, Inuyasha and Naraku.
Apparently my day can get worse.
"Well...Kagome! Why don't you and...Inuyasha go and get the ingredients and...Naraku and I will get out the equipment! ^^'" Sango hesitantly suggested.
Inuyasha and I wandered over to the tray full of flower, butter, cinnamon and lots of other things.
"So...what do we get?" I asked him.
"I don't know. I wasn't listening yesterday."
"Why don't we just grab a little bit of everything?" I casually suggested.
"Or why don't we take everything?"
"Why not."
I grabbed the unopened flour bag, 10 sticks of butter and the container of sugar. Inuyasha took everything else. We came back to the stove where Naraku and Sango had gotten everything out. I have sneaking suspicions that Naraku did absolutely nothing.
We dumped out loot onto the counter.
"So, who wants to read the instructions?" Sango asked.
"I'LL do that!" Naraku said with a regal attitude.
"Okaaaaaay...and who wants to put in the ingredients?"
"I guess I will." I volunteered.
"That leaves Inuyasha and I to clean up!"
"Keh."
It is quite clear to me that Naraku has never read a cookbook before. In the end, I put in 3 eggs, a tablespoon of cinnamon, five sticks of butter, too much flour, and a hell of a lot of sugar. I think some vanilla, water, milk and......vinegar went into it also...
When I opened up the flour, I accidentally ripped it open, so flour flew around the place and landed in our hair, giving others the impression that we had just aged 30 years.
When I tried to work with the dough, it was so stiff because of the humungous amount of flour and the lack of liquid ingredients.
It wouldn't even tear.
How am I supposed to make eight cinnamon rolls if the ruddy dough won't tear??
"Let me try, Kagome," Sango offered.
She stretched it, she cut it, and it just wouldn't tear.
"Let me try it!!" Inuyasha stood over her with a cleaver in his hands.
Inuyasha attacked the dough with a vengeance (actually, he attacked it with a cleaver).
"100 STRIKES!!" he yelled madly.
When he finished his 100 strikes, he started cursing madly when he saw the dough sitting there as if nothing had touched it.
"I'LL TEAR IT APART!!" Naraku grabbed the dough and started to pull it apart with his teeth.
I'm defiantly not eating this now.
Suddenly there was an, "AUGH~!" and Naraku whipped the dough out of his mouth.
It had blood on it and then I saw a tooth protruding from the center of the blood.
Nightmares in the Kitchen.
"HERE!" Sango yelled as she stuffed the entire wad of dough into Naraku's mouth, "THAT'LL STOP THE BLEEDING!!"
Naraku looked like he was going to puke.
"Thith stuff tasths disthguthting!" he said as best as he could.
"After 5 sticks of butter, I'm sure it does." I commented.
When he pulled it out of his mouth, the bleeding had stopped.
"I wonder what would happen if we put it in the oven!" Inuyasha said wildly.
He snatched the dough and rolled it up as best as he could and threw it on to a tray and tossed it into the oven. He swung the temperature dial to 400 and we all sat and waited.
"I dare someone to eat that." Sango said.
"It's gonna be Naraku. It's his tooth and blood in that thing." I replied.
"Class! While we wait for our cinnamon rolls to bake, let's read a story!" Mrs. Nakashima exclaimed.
"She's almost worse than Mr. Kinoshita." I stared.
"Come on." was all Sango said.
Halfway through the story I heard Inuyasha mutter 'Uh oh."
I glanced in his direction and then followed his eyesight.
Our oven was smoking.
Oh crap.
I turned my attention back to the story, as no one else had noticed, and I hoped everything would be all right.
Of course, I should have known that it wouldn't be all right because so far my day had been ruined so why wouldn't the rest of the day be crap also?
The oven exploded. And so did the class.
Everyone was screaming and yelling, I'm amazed that the principal hadn't shown up yet.
When the smoke cleared, I saw that our part of the kitchen was on fire. Someone else yanked the fire alarm and the entire school proceeded in evacuating the school.
And it was all our fault.
Actually, it was Inuyasha's because he put the vile thing in the oven but we made it.
"You're on clean up duty," I muttered in his ear.
He glared at me.
^^
The fire truck showed up and put out the fire and 40 minutes later, we were allowed back into the school. Nothing had been badly burned or damaged and no one was hurt.
"I demand to know who started all this!" The principal stood in front of our class.
Of course, no one raised their hands. We weren't stupid.
Well, aside from starting this whole commotion, we weren't stupid.
And lucky us, Mrs. Nakamura had forgotten whom she had assigned that part of the kitchen to and of course, everyone else had been focusing on their food that they didn't pay attention to us.
My day had a highlight! We weren't caught!

Because of the fire, there was only about two minutes left of school so I didn't have to go to language arts(!).
Miroku ran up to Sango and I after school that day as we were leaving.
"YOU GUYS WERE IN THAT CLASS, WEREN'T YOU!! YOU'RE OKAY RIGHT?? WHO DID IT???"
"Well...we did it..." I muttered.
"WE didn't but Inuyasha was the one who put it in the oven." Sango corrected me.
Miroku stared in shock.
"I told you I can't cook." I said, as we stopped at my house.
Sango kept walking home and I went into the kitchen to get a snack.
I stood in the window of my bedroom and looked out into the street. A black Mercedes car parked outside suddenly started and drove away.
I looked at the license plate: Gr8 one.
Great one?
That won't be hard to forget.
And I'm willing to bet a whole lot of money that it was one of Naraku's cars.
