Previously, On Punk Mikos And Demonic Preps: Later that night, after dinner and homework, Kagome fell into her bed. She was exhausted, but her mind was racing so fast she couldn't sleep. Her thoughts kept returning to Inuyasha. 'Baka! Why are you thinking about him? Just go to sleep!' Kagome rolled over and forced the youkai out of her head, letting blessed sleep wash over her.

Chapter Five

A Rush Of Blood

The next day at school Inuyasha avoided Kagome as well as possible. He had done a pretty good job of it but now it was time for P.E. and as luck would have it, Kagome had that class on her Tuesday schedule. And now he had to deal with her. After he and Miroku had changed, they walked out onto the P.E. field. There she was, with that other girl that Miroku liked, Sango. They were clad in sweatshirts and leotards, as was every other girl. You could never catch Miroku's attention during P.E. for more than 5 seconds. Inuyasha sighed mentally. He placed himself as far away from Kagome as possible.

The teacher said to divide into pairs and run laps to start off. Inuyasha paired with Miroku and they began to run. After about 5 laps, they stopped and asked the teacher if they could remove their outer shirts cause it was so hot. Suprisingly, she let them. Miroku and Inuyasha shed their shirts and continued running, wearing only tank tops.

"Uh, Inuyasha? Have you noticed anything? Like how all the girls are staring?" asked Miroku.

" Who cares? C'mon Miroku, we're supposed to be running, not ogling." Inuyasha couldn't help glancing around and seeing that most of the girls eyes were locked on him and Miroku. He grinned inwardly, contradicting his words.

"Well, excuuuse me! An I'm not ogling, I'm basking in beauty.

"Otherwise known as ogling. Dude, get it together!

Kagome and Sango were doing fine until those idiots had to distract them! They were running very well and Kagome wasn't even tired until they went and took off their shirts. Sango slowed, gaping at Miroku, making Kagome pull her along. She was stoically ignoring Inuyasha, but her eyes betrayed her a few times, straying over to Inuyasha's tanned and nicely toned flesh.

Inuyasha looked up and saw Kagome glancing at him. He grinned. She glowered at him and looked away. Inuyasha chuckled.

After P.E., Inuyasha caught up with Kagome before she went to change.

"Saw you looking at me, Higurashi. Knew you couldn't resist for long."

Kagome glared at him.

"Right. Oh my god, is that a pig flying by the window?

Inuyasha looked at her annoyed.

"Ha ha, very funny. Whatever. We both know you want me.

Kagome growled. She had had enough of him!

"Look, I am fed up with you, you half breed arrogant conceited ass!! Just go away and leave me alone!!" At the words 'half breed', Inuyasha's eyes began to glow red and the faint marks of stripes came out on his face.

"What did you call me?" he said in a low growling voice. Kagome's mind knew instantly that she had gone too far and should back down, but Kagome's mouth wasn't paying any attention to her brain.

"Half breed! That's what you are, aren't you?" Sango and Miroku had just appeared from the locker rooms in time to hear 'half breed'. They glanced at each other, then ran over to Inuyasha, Miroku slamming him back against the lockers outside and Sango dragging Kagome back.

"Need some help here!" called Miroku, struggling to keep Inuyasha pinned. A few other boys ran to keep him down.

"Sorry, man." Miroku said to Inuyasha before pressing a point on his neck and rendering the hanyou unconscious.

Kagome watched, dumbfounded, as Miroku knocked his best friend out. He turned on her.

"What are you, stupid?! That's the one thing you don't want to say if you want to live! He put a boy in a coma last time someone called him that! Did you see him? He didn't even know who I was! He would've killed you, baka!

Sango placed herself in between the frozen Kagome and the livid Miroku.

"Stop. She didn't know. So keep off her case!" Miroku turned away, his lip curling. He bent to help carry his friend to the nurse's office.

Kagome looked at Sango. "I didn't mean it. Well, I did, but not like that. I don't have anything against youkai, you know that, don't you? I didn't mean it." Kagome's voice was little, and distant. Her eyes weren't really seeing, and she was babbling. Suddenly, tears started spilling out of her eyes, her mascara streaking her face. "I didn't mean it!

"Kagome? Kagome, it's alright. He'll be fine. C'mon, don't blame yourself, you didn't know. It'll be alright." Sango comforted. She hugged Kagome and rubbed her back, soothing her. Kagome stopped crying and closed her eyes, seeming to return to herself.

"Thanks, Sango. And don't be mad at Miroku. He was scared." Kagome detached herself from Sango and went to change.
