~*~*~*~* DISCLAIMER ** (right hand held up high) Never have I proclaimed that I owned Inu Yasha and co. I am just a stupid person who tries to release his crazy imagination. (right hands put down) ^^ That's a swear, huh/?

~*~*~*~* Chapter 9 ~ The Uncertain Fight *~*~*~*~

A month had passed by since I first stay in the School Of Four Souls. It's already the month of September. And I found it surprising that I didn't miss my mom as much as I thought. Of course, I do miss her, but I can still live without her.

"Kagome?" I turned around.

"Were you listening?" Oops! Sango had been talking to me about after school activities. We were now sitting in Relax Pod (it's lunchtime), comfortably in the sofas. And it had happened only to be the four of us, so we have a lot of space. I don't know where the others had gone to.

"Sorry Sango, I was lost in thought. What were you saying again?" Sango sighed,

"I was just thinking, what sports I should take, and should it be teams or individuals. Last year I took the individuals and it's real fun. So -"

"Exactly what sports are you willing to take this year, Sango?" Miroku asked. Sango rolled her eyes.

"I don't know so I'm asking Kagome." She said, she then return to me. "So then, Kagome?"

"Uh, I don't know. How does the individuals work anyway? Does that mean they only accept one student -"

"Of course not!" Inu Yasha cut in, "that just means that when there is a competition, it is a competition between one on one. Teams meant that you are competing with a team."

"And if you're not interested," Miroku continued, "you don't have to participate in any of them."

"Yes, that's how it works." Sango said to me. She smiled, "What do you want to take, Kagome?"

"What's the choices again?"

"For teams they have basketball, soccer, field hockey, baseball, and volleyball. For individuals they have marathon running, swimming, tennis, equestrian, and archery." Miroku replied as he sipped through his can of coke.

"Uh, maybe I'll take archery because -"

"You better not, Kagome!" Sango said quickly.

"Why?"

"Kikyo always take archery from year to year." Sango warned. Since the first time I met Kikyo I had already have 8 more fights with her.

"Oh, that's alright then." I said in a dignified voice. I really hate that girl now, because she had put lots of bad rumors about me.

"Kikyo's real good, she always won the school's competitions. Even when we're competing with other schools." Inu Yasha said.

"And you're proud." I snapped. Anything that deals with Kikyo is making me touchy these last few days since the time she shouted to the whole school that I am trying very hard to get together with Inu Yasha so that I can use him. Inu Yasha blushed.

"O - of course not! Why should I? I hate that girl!"

"Doesn't sound like it."

"What's up with you? Looking for a fight?"

"No" I said simply.

"Yes you are"

"No I'm not"

"Yes you are"

"No I'm not"

"Yes you are"

"No I'm not, you're the one that's showing off what your girlfriend can do."

"She is not my girlfriend! And you're the one that started all of it!"

"No I did not!"

"Yes you did!"

"Shut up, I'm tired of this conversation!"

"No - you shut up!"

"Argh, whatever!" I turn my head towards Sango again, ignoring the grumpy looking Inu Yasha "I'm going to take archery."

"And I'm just glad you chose that." A voice from my back suddenly said. I turned around and there is none other than Kikyo and Naraku.

Inu Yasha quickly stand up and look at Naraku with disgust.

"What are you two doing here?" He growled. Miroku had already started to pull Inu Yasha back to his seat. Naraku smirked.

"Does it concern you, dog-faced boy?" This time, Sango stands up.

"You better leave or else-"

"Or else what, wench?" Kikyo smirked at Sango. "You're just so ugly I don't know how to describe how you look other than---"

And then she walk towards Sango and then she slapped her! Inu Yasha break free from Miroku and looked so furious. Miroku was too shocked to even care what Inu Yasha did. His face is full of hatred as he began to look at Sango's cheek with concern. Sango looked as if she's trying to recall what Kikyo had just done. I quickly stand up and walk quickly towards Kikyo and do what my heart tells me to do.

I slap Kikyo back, as hard as I can. This time it's her time to look shocked. Her cheek was turning quite purple from my slap. I gritted my teeth.

"I just know how to describe a girl like you. Let me give you a hint. It starts with 'b' and ends with an 'ch'." Kikyo stared hard at me, while her hands rubbed her purple cheek. Naraku was eyeing me dangerously. I smiled evilly at them both. "And if you ever slap any of my friends, especially Sango, I will pay it back for them!"

I turned over to look at Inu Yasha and the others. They were all staring at me in awe. I smiled happily at all of them.

"Come on then, let's go. There's no use wasting our time with morons like them." I began to walk towards them when suddenly Inu Yasha jumped towards me.

"Watch out, Kagome!" I turned around. Just in time to be pushed by Inu Yasha, in time to see Inu Yasha took the full-blow from Naraku, in time to see Inu Yasha being slammed to the ground.

"Inu Yasha!" I shouted, and hurried over to him. "Are you alright?" He turned and smiled at me. I can feel myself blushed and my heart pounded. He just protected me. Inu Yasha had just protected me from Naraku. And then I gasped, Inu Yasha's lips were bleeding.

"I'm alright, don't worry." He then turned and look at Naraku instead.

"What a coward! Attacking a weak girl from the back." Inu Yasha stand up and he rubbed the blood from his lips. "Why don't you choose somebody your own size?" Naraku smirked.

"Yeah? And what makes you think you'll be the one I choose? You think you are - what did you say - the same size as I am?"

"I don't know about him, but I think I surely will be greater than you, Naraku." This time, a very dignified and calm voice spoke out of nowhere. I looked and saw none other than - Sesshoumaru. Wait, Sesshoumaru?

Naraku's smirk was gone suddenly. But then it was replaced by a new one.

"What brings you here, sissy?" (A/N Seriously if Naraku ever say that to Sesshoumaru. I'll track him down and KILL him! ^.^) Sesshoumaru's expression didn't change.

"I've received information from Jyaken, our caretaker, that you have been bullying - a girl named - Rin." Naraku's smile widened.

"And your problem will be?" He asked. In less than a second, Sesshoumaru's eyes turned red, but then it turned back to normal again. Wait, maybe that would just be my hallucination.

"Naraku." Sesshoumaru curtly said and in a speed faster than a blinking eye, he was already in front of him, his arms raised in a position to slam someone.

"Ahem, what's the problem here?" That was the voice of --- Mr. Totousai. And with that, Naraku was set to detention. And I'm glad to say --- only Naraku.

~*~*~*~* A/N *~*~*~*~ Alright, there are just a few things I need to say. First of all, I will change my pen-name. You know about the new Fanfiction rule right? It says no DOUBLE name,. so, since Shin was taken already (*sniff*sniff*) I've changed it to ASURAN ZARA! That's the name of my favorite character in Gundam Seed (da newest Gundam if ya guys didn't know!).

Second, I will remove chapter 4. So, my stories will go down by ONE CHAPTER. If you are wondering, Chapter 4 is unnecessary ^.^

Third, it just seemed that I can never win the bet I have with my bro (the one with the reviews stuffs) AND IT'S ALL YA GUYS' FAULT . (uhm, I shouldn't have said that, I was just kidding ^.^) soooooooo, now I can't go and buy that anime DVD I was DYING to buy (*hiks*hiks). But if I WIN (*please God, please God*) I promise that I will email each and every one of you and say thanks! 6_6 (face it, I'm desperate!)
