Chapter 2: The Test

A month has passed since that day, Miroku and Sango have somehow become really close, he had mostly groped her when she came and then they somehow made a relationship out of it. Minus the groping. Kagome is beginning to feel like the third wheel around every one, she kept slightly to herself when the guys were around.

"Hey 'gome, what class do you have now?" kikyo asked as she and Sango walked up to their friend who was at her locker.

"Oh gym" she answered looking back at them.

"Your gonna get that exam" Sango said trying to remember what exactly they had to do in the exam but failed.

"Kuso, I didn't study anything, I didn't even know " she squeaked, then started whimpering at the fact that she was gonna fail this exam.

"Its nothin' we aced it"

"That's reassuring," she said sarcastically "seeing as though u two are better at everything"

"Oh lighten up will ya" Kikyo said patting her back

"Don't worry, its practical" Sago said "not theory, not like they give us notes anyway"

"Whatever I'm out" she began walking off backwards down the hall. "Gotta get ready for that gym exam," she said in a sarcastic peppy tone complete with fake pom poms. She cut through the cafeteria and stepped on the crunchy autumn leaves as they fell from over head, she was too caught up with grumbling about exams that she didn't notice the pair of eyes following her.

Sesshomaru was sitting in his usual tree waiting for his free period to end, he didn't really like wasting time when he was at school, he could do that after all his to-be-accomplishments were attained. The scent of honey and wildflowers caught his nose, he liked the scent, in calmed him, but he didn't knew who it came from, he never had time to analyze it before now. He looked down and saw Kagome walking around and spinning giddily as the aki leaves bounced off of her face and swirled around her in the passing breeze.

'So it is her who smells so heavenly, that wench.' He had yet to get her back for slapping him, he wanted to humiliate her, but he hadn't the time to think of a suitable punishment for her. Funny how he was given the time, but didn't bother to think upon it? Didn't that mean something? 'Why is she seeming so beautiful now?, so entchanting? Not too long ago I wanted to rip out her throat for touching me, let alone slapping me, yet now I find her attractive?' Sesshomaru thought. His thoughts were confusing, even for him and he was the one thinking them.

The bell rang and broke his train of thought, but another thing that snapped him back to reality, it was Kagome shrieking about how late she was, grabbing up her bag hastily and crunching leaves in her attempt to reach to class early.

Kagome ran into the changing room, and hurriedly changed for her class. She ran out pulling her hair into a loose ponytail while the coach took role call.

"Higurashi, your up first"

"Yes coach" sighed Kagome as she went over to the corner of the volleyball court. She was given a balland told to serve it. She threw it up once in hopes to hit it, but missed sorely. Her coach said something about trying again before giving her another ball.

She threw it up again, keeping an eye on it, she bat it. It hit the net. She sighed, received another ball, ignoring her coaches reprimands and suggestions of 'batting it over the net'. She threw it up, her eyes never leaving it, and then she batted it. It flew over the net. She cheered silently before going to the back of the line.

"Kagome, your coach has requested for you to forgo any more exams for this class and to spend the rest of this period and other gym classes on the field practicing."

"What—why?"

"It's done for all track members, you should know that. Anyways, you are dismissed by me and you ought to be on the track now."

"Oh man" she whined, now knowing that during after school training her coach was not going to go easy on her.

"HIGURASHI!!!" came Medemura's voice "get yourself down here!"

"Yes sir, sorry sir" she squeaked then sprinted to the track.

"Kagome I know you're a sprints runner, but I think you have some potential doing distance hurdle races—"

"Your having me do both??!!!"

"No, listen to me before you jump to conclusions! I changing you from sprints to distance hurdles."

"Yes sir" she said weakly "so who's taking my place?"

"Sango, she's pretty fast"

"Yeah but she does javelin with Sesshomaru and—"

"You run yet you do kyudo" she interrupted her.

"Ok fine I see your point." She grumbled, she coach grinned at her. "Next thing you know your making me do high jump and long jump along with this" she grumbled under her breath.

"Y'know, that's not a bad idea, with your long legs and all"

"Not funny" she said then walked behind him to the changing rooms to get her stuff.

On the other side of the field, Sesshomaru was doing his javelin warm ups and he 'overheard' the coach's conversation with Kagome

'So he decides to fix her schedule too, it seems we will be spending a lot of time together now Higurashi, time to find out what makes you tick'

Kagome came back from the changing rooms, she had on a pair of shorts and a tank top, the back of her sports bra visible. She had fixed her hair in a now firm ponytail and was carrying out her spikes, and Kyudo equipment.

She stopped at the aiming post for the kyudo range and put down the bag with her safety stuff. She strapped up, making sure they were on properly. She didn't want to be bruised by the arrow when it flew. She put on her quiver, patting the Velcro sealer to make sure it stayed in place then took up her bow.

She tugged at the string, making sure it was tight enough before reaching for and arrow. She held it in place by the string and raised it in position; she pulled back the string, then looked at her target. She aimed then removed her fingers from their position on the string and watched as the arrow sped towards the center, it hit the white circle outside the center eye.

"Aim, Kagome, aim" her coach reprimanded.

She nodded then reached for another arrow, knocked it, aimed then fired. It hit the center.

"Good, now split that" her coach said.

Sesshomaru sat up from his abdominal exercises (aka 'abs' as my coach calls 'em) and watched Kagome as she shot her arrows flawlessly— except for the first one— she had a slightly determined/serious look about her face. He had heard about the change from his javelin coach, that Kagome was switched from sprints to distance, as Sango was to take her place. He agreed with the other coach, she would make a good distance runner, if she faced it with the same determination as she did with kyudo.

He had to admit, seeing her there with the long bow, minus the safety equipment, and the tracksuit, plus a fighting kimono or miko garb, she would look like something out of a history book. She was beautiful, yet deadly. Yes even he had to admit, she was beautiful, all thoughts of revenge for a month ago were squelched at this point in time.

He was broken from his thoughts when her heard her squeal, she was cheering and singing something about slicing five without warming up, then her coach started yelling at her the importance of warming up, though the girl didn't seem to hear because he has to tell her every training session and she was squealing cheerfully. She shook his head slightly before getting up and doing a different stretch.

"So 'gome, how was the test?" Sango and Kikyo inquired, as they stopped the girl in the hall.

"Well I guessi did well in the first part, but then coach told me that from now on I'm to got to training at gym time."

"He finally started that with you now, I was wondering when he'd do it. He did it to Sango two weeks after she started Track" Kikyo said. Kagome shrugged it off as they began walking down the hall, only to stop, as Kikyo stood infront of them asking a question. The girl in question froze for a second, looking at a figure behind Kagome's head in fear. Sango looked back then backe dup beside Kikyo stiffly.

"What's wrong? Guys?" Kagome asked she followed their eyes to see none other than Naraku behind her. He apparently made some silent order to them and the two terror struck girls ran off. "Ok, this is bad" she muttered in a whimpering voice.

"Hello Kagome" he said, his voice smooth as velvet.

"Uh... hey Naraku" said nervously, backing up slightly "no-no time to chat gotta go, got a test to do" she said in one breath

"You always have time with me"

"Uh, no I don't" she turned to walk away but he grabbed her wrist, he squeezed the wound she already had there (a/n: you'll learn about that in the next chapter)

"No one walks away from me"

"Ahh, you're hurting me, let go! You're hurting me!!" she ried to paw off his wrist but to no avail.

"Let her go Naraku" a voice said, Naraku looked up to see none other than Sesshomaru (cue hero music) behind Kagome

"What, have a soft spot for her Sesshomaru?" (hero music)

"No I just can't stand her shouting" 'yeah I guess I am developing a soft spot for her'

Naraku reluctantly let go of Kagome's hand then walked off muttering about mutt who cant mind their own businesses, and revenge. Kagome looked up at Sesshomaru (hero music) (a/n: beats the shit outta the person in charge of the hero music) she saw that his once cold looking eyes were now beginning to warm up a little. She blushed at the possible reason.

"Thank you" she muttered then walked off 'what just happened? Did Sesshomaru just save me from Naraku? Why???'

tbc...

As you probably aready know, the small detail a changed was the track stuff Kag and Sango do. So instead of only boring Kyudo, Kagome is now a distance hurdle runner/jumper. And instead of doing only javelin, Sango is now a sprint runner (like me). I'm thinking of making sesshomaru do another sport too. Not sure about that.

I feel like I'm writing this story all over again!!, (which I am)(technically) please tell me what you think

Oh also, kyudo is the name given to longbow archery, or the type of archery mikos do.

Until next time...
