Previously, On Punk Mikos And Demonic Preps: When Inuyasha returned, he found an already sleeping Kagome curled up in a fetal position on his bed. He grinned at her. Even wet and bedraggled, she was still a beautiful creature. He draped a blanket over her, reminding himself to change his sheets later if he didn't want to get soaked, and went downstairs to call Miroku.

Of Punk Mikos and Demonic Preps

Chapter Ten

Magic At School

Inuyasha was telling Miroku what had just happened when the front door slammed. 'Shit!' Sesshoumaru was home.

"Gotta go, Miroku, big bro's home," was all Inuyasha said before hanging up.

"Sesshoumaru, be quiet. Kagome's upstairs sleeping." Sesshoumaru cocked a delicate eyebrow at him.

"Oh, shut up. She was attacked."

"I didn't say anything." Said Sesshoumaru in his regal voice.

"You were thinking it."

"So, who's Kagome and why was she attacked?"

"Kagome's a girl who goes to my school and we can't figure out that last part." Sesshoumaru nodded his head slightly and then left the room. Inuyasha sighed. His brother was a little strange. But at least he had a girlfriend now. What was the girl's name? Oh yeah, Nika. Nice name.

Inuyasha went back upstairs to his room. Kagome was still out for the count. He sat down at his computer and began to surf the net.

He was in the middle of a completely pointless conversation with Miroku on AIM when Kagome woke up.

"Where the hell am I?"

"Kagome?"

"What?"

"Do you remember?"

"Don't remind me." She groaned and buried her head in his pillow. She inhaled deeply and then, realizing she was sniffing his pillow, she sat bolt upright again, blushing faintly. Inuyasha was confused. Girls. They were like another species.

"My brother's home and I told Miroku what's been going on. I couldn't tell your friends cause I don't know either their screenames or their phone numbers." Kagome nodded. "I'll call them later. Mom first. Phone?" Inuyasha pointed to his desk. Kagome got up and dialed her mom.

God, her mother was practically having kittens over there! Kagome explained to her mom what had happened. But her mother couldn't figure out for the life of her why someone would do that to her. What had Kagome done to piss off this unknown person? When Kagome got off the phone with her mom, she plopped back down on Inuyasha's bed, almost squishing him in the process.

"Hey! Watch where you're fallin!" he said indignantly.

"Sorry." She said, not sorry at all. They lay there in silence for a few minutes, looking at the ceiling, there legs hanging off the side of the bed. Then Kagome started laughing. Inuyasha looked at her like she had gone round the bend, but then he started too. They laughed till tears came out of their eyes and Kagome fell off the bed. But that only made them laugh harder. Slowly the laughter subsided, and the two teens only erupted into giggles or chuckles every one in a while. That was when Inuyasha offered to see Kagome home.

"Sure, thanks." They went downstairs. Kagome was greeted by the sight of quite possibly the most beautiful man alive. He had some resemblance to Inuyasha, except for the much more delicate features and the fact that he had a crescent moon on his forehead, along with two red stripes along each cheek.

"Hey, Sess. I'm taking Kagome home." Inuyasha said. So this was Inuyasha's older brother? Wow. Inuyasha pulled her out the door. She came to her senses and whapped him a good one over his head.

"Itai! What was that for?!"

"For pulling me around!" Inuyasha just rolled his eyes. "Is your brother for real?

"Huh?

"That was the most beautiful person I've ever seen in my life, but he has a disturbing androgynous quality to him.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes again. "Yes, that's my brother. And he's for real. You should some of the fangirls going after him.

"He has fangirls?!?!?

"Oh yeah.

Kagome shook her head in disbelief and hopped on her bike. Se started it up, let it run for a moment, then gestured Inuyasha to get on. He did so with an ease that made her wonder if he'd been on a bike before. She took off, going slightly faster than she normally would, but didn't notice any tensing from Inuyasha. His hands weren't even on her waist, but resting comfortably on his knees. Kagome resolved to ask him about it when they got to the shrine.

Her mother and brother practically jumped on her when she got home. Mrs. Higurashi hugged Inuyasha too, before he could get away. She developed this fascination with his ears, which annoyed Inuyasha to no end. He got out of that crazy family's house at quickly as possible, stopping only to give a quick goodbye to Kagome. Kagome only had a moment to wonder how he was getting home and to realize she never got a chance to ask him if he'd been on a bike before.

Kagome was re-assuring her immediate family that she was ok, and that she had kicked those bad guys' asses before running. Souta looked up at her in admiration.

"You think you could teach me how to fight?" he asked innocently.

"Sure, Souta." Said Kagome genially. "But only for self-defense. Do as I say, not as I do." Souta looked a little confused. Kagome laughed, ruffled his hair and sent him upstairs to play his video games. He obeyed enthusiastically.

"Kagome-chan, do you have any idea who did this?" asked her mother, a worried expression on her face. Kagome paused, like when Inuyasha had asked her the same question at his house.

"No, mom. I don't"

The next day at school, Inuyasha was getting all sorts of crap from idiots about him and Kagome. Apparently, someone had seen her run to his house in the rain. So he did the only thing he could think of at the moment. Which was avoid or ignore Kagome at all costs. It wasn't that he didn't like her and all, but jeez, he had his reputation to consider. Inuyasha shook his head at himself, not believing how much he had changed. There had been a time when he wouldn't have given a rat's ass what anyone thought of him.

Kagome walked into math with Eve, as Sango had History right now. She had had the feeling that Inuyasha was avoiding her. She wondered why. But as soon as she sat down, there were jeers and whistles tossed their way. And many lewd remarks. Kagome suddenly understood. 'His reputation. He's worried about his goddamn reputation.' That was just like a jock. Jerk. Then she heard growling come from in front of her. Inuyasha sounded like if they didn't shut up, there would be one very pissed off hanyou and several very dead humans in the room. So Kagome threw some choice words at the crowd.

"If you all don't shut the fuck up, I'll beat you to a pulp! Got it?!" She said menacingly, glaring dangerously. Her hidden miko power flared and though the humans couldn't see it, they could definitely feel it. The class settled down very quickly, with no more than a couple of glances at the pissed off girl. Kagome smirked, feeling very good about herself. She heard a whisper of "Go Kagome!" coming from Eve's direction and sent her a lopsided smile.

Inuyasha was staring straight ahead, so shocked about Kagome's recently exposed miko powers that he didn't even see the teacher enter the classroom. He sneaked a glance at Kagome, who didn't seem to have noticed anything strange. But how could she not notice? That big of a flare? Inuyasha decided to keep an eye on her.
