Chapter13: Kouga's Return. Dun dun
dun.
Sesshomaru took Kagome into his arms, rubbing her
back and whispering soothing nonsensical words in her ear. Kagome's
breathing was shallow and rapid but as soon as she realized that she
was in her boyfriend's strong yet gentle grip, she realized she was
safe from Kouga's harm and her breathing slowly evened
out.
"Sesshy.." Kagome said in the weak raspy voice she
had from crying so long, "it was horrible, there was a fight
between you and, and some guy—"
"What do you mean?"
Kikyo asked
"There was some guy there, I don't know who he
was but he challenged you and- it was so horrible, I was so scared
that you-"
"Kagome don't worry about it, it was only a
dream nothing more" Sesshomaru said, "nothings gonna happen"
"That's weird, its like the middle of March." Kagome whispered to Sango and Kikyo
"Yeah it is odd" Miroku added.
A guy walked into the class, he has short brown hair and dark brown eyes. Some of the girls began daydreaming over this 'heartthrob' (oh plz don't make me barf)
"He looks so familiar" Kagome muttered to Sesshomaru, then her breath hitched in her throat, it was the same guy from her dream!
"This is Hojou Yuriotogi, he just transferred here" their teacher concluded. "Please take a seat behind Shinzuku"
The guy walked between Sesshomaru and Miroku, walking past Kikyo, Kagome and Sango to get to his seat, all the while not taking his eyes off Kagome.
The teacher passed a set of handouts from the front; Sesshomaru passed a couple behind him to Kagome, stealing a kiss in the process. Kagome passed some back to Sango who passed back to Hojou.
"Kagome I do not understand this" Sango whined,
"That's because its in English" Kagome said spinning round to talk to her friend. The handout had information about the American Revolution.
"Do you understand it?"
"Well, yeah, somewhat."
"Then read it to me"
"Fine. 'In 16—"
"Higurashi, Shinzuku, do you want to share with the rest of the class what your discussion may be" their professor called.
"Not really sir" Kagome said glaring at Sango before turning around.
"Sir, Kagome was just explaining the handout to Sango" Hojou said as a matter-of-factly, shocking everyone with the fact that he had already learnt their names and they haven't even been said.
"There's something fishy about that guy" Inuyasha said to Sesshomaru who nodded in agreement.
"Ms Higurashi, please come and read the handout to the class"
"Yes sir" she sighed and got up to go to the front of the class.
She read the whole first paragraph, which spoke mainly of the reasons for the revolution. When he was satisfied with her foreknowledge of the translation, the professor sent her back to her seat.
The bell rang signaling the end of class.
"What class do we have now?" Kikyo asked, slinging her back across her shoulders.
"Gym, I think, so we go straight to training." Sango answered, stuffing the handout in her bag.
"So we should go to the field to practice then," Kagome said, stifling a yawn.
"Don't you sleep anymore?" Inuyasha asked, he still didn't know about the dream, because kikyo refused to tell him.
Though it was common knowledge amongst the girls and Sesshomaru that the dreams have stopped for a period of time now, Kagome, on some nights, still refused to sleep, she used the excuse of studying.
"Sometimes" Kagome replied offhandedly.
Hojou stood silently behind them packing his bag, listening to the exchange between the friends, thinking of ways top get back his love.
"Come on we are late" Miroku struggled to pull Sango to the door.
"Why do you care now roku?" Sango asked
"Its nothing" Inuyasha covered up
The gang walked down the steps of the class to get to the door.
"Uh Ms Higurashi could I see you for a moment?" the teacher asked,
"I guess?" Kagome walked over to her professor, gripping the straps of her bag.
"I want you to show Hojou around after school."
"I cant, I have training"
"Make time"
"But— sir may I ask, why me?"
"You're a very friendly person and you know the schools history and rules."
"I do?" she asked bluntly
"Yes you do, now please go to your next class"
"Sir I can't show him around after school, can't you get some other poor soul to do it? What about Yura, she can do it!"
"Ms Higurashi, why don't you want to do it?"
"Its not that I don't want to do it, its just that I cant do it, I have too many things to do this afternoon. I have to do extra hours of practice because I missed a few days"
"Fine then at least show him where the next class is" he said as the bell rang again, sending students scurrying from the halls.
"Fine" she said dramatically throwing her hands in the air and walking out of class.
"What was that all about?" Sango asked
"Where are the guys?" kagome asked back
"Sesshomaru got an urgent call from Rin so he's over the elementary school, Inuyasha and Miroku didn't want to be late for class so they ran off, which I found really strange" Kikyo said, "so now what was that all about?"
"Mr Tomoko wanted me to show Hojou around after school"
"But you have extra training" Sango said slowly
"I know but I'm just gonna have to skip that today and show him I guess"
"well I don't mean to be the breaker upper of this conversation, but I think you all are late" Mr Tomoko said walking to the door where they congregated.
"Sorry sir" the girls said then briskly walked off. Hojou walked passed him and followed them.
The girls walked into the changing room.
"Higurashi, Shinzuku, Takanaka, your late!"
"Kuso" the girls said then ran to their lockers.After school, during training their coaches had to leave early because of some meeting they had to be at.
"Now we can have some fun," Sango said walking over to them.
They linked arms and began skipping cross the field, to the pool where they left their bags from training earlier on.
"What to do what to do?" Kagome said tapping her chin. A smirk crossed her face before she pushed her unsuspecting friends into the pool.
"AAHHH! Splash" was heard
"Kagome!" the two wet girls said
"What?" Kagome said over her laughter, "I never did anything!"
"Look behind you" Sango said
"Yeah. Like I'm gonna fall for that old trick." She said looking at Kikyo who was trying to unsuspectingly sneak up and grab Kagome's feet
"You should really look behind you" came Sesshomaru's voice
"Wha?" Kagome spun round and was lifted then thrown into the pool. "Ok that was so not fair" she said when she resurfaced.
"Oh yes it was" kikyo said then splashed her.So this is what she wanted to blow me off for?, some training Hojou thought then scoffed. Well at least I'm getting to see her, but when she realizes its me, its bye bye Sesshomaru
'Your becoming such a naughty wolf aren't you" came Naraku's voice
'And your point?'
'When are you going to make your move?'
"Whenever I think the time is right, I'll make myself known.'
'And when do you think that would be?'
'Soon and very soon Naraku, all I due time.' A sinister smirk graced his boyish features.tbc...
who woulda thunk that Kouga would come back as Hojou? Well to be honest, brutally honest, I think that Hojou is the reincarnated Kouga. Reasons: they're both dense, persistent, and have a thing for Kagome. (No offense to Kouga or Hojou fans)
