Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha
A/N: ok, I HAVE been writing this chapter over and over for about two days, so please don't be mad. I only got back from Washington State last week. I also needed a re-coup day cause I was dirty! We weren't allowed to take a shower for seven days (that's how long my course was). I went for backpacking. So on with this!!
Chapter 10- First Day Blues
"GET UP!!" Sesshomaru was on his wits end as Inu-Yasha just played deaf and didn't move. Finally Sesshomaru took Inu-Yasha and threw him against the wall.
"Ouch, you didn't have to go that far" Inu-Yasha said his head coming up from the other side of the bed. "I was getting up you know. It's very rude to throw a sleeping person"
"Good thing you're not a person then" He turned to the door. "The bus comes in half an hour be ready in fifteen" He then walked out of the room closing the door behind him.
"Fine" Inu-Yasha mumbled to himself fully aware his older brother could hear him. He then stood up, cracked his back and neck, then got dressed. It only took him about ten minutes to get ready since he didn't really do anything to get ready. Just throw on some clothes, put on his bracelet, run a comb through his hair, and pick up his backpack, which was ready to be filled with books galore by the end of the day.
Yes it was that day that most kids dread. The first day back to school. After two months of sleeping in, sitting on the couch, and doing absolutely nothing it was time to go back to the monotonous drone of school life. Isn't it just wonderful?
Inu-Yasha walked down the stairs and went into the kitchen. To his surprise there was breakfast lain out and plates also. Sesshomaru had already started so Inu-Yasha followed suit. "So why do we actually have a good breakfast?" Inu-Yasha asked through a mouthful of food. He hadn't noticed the other person sitting at the table.
"Well I thought you would have noticed by now but, I see you are as dim as ever" Sesshomaru said looking up from his plate directly at Inu-Yasha. "This is my now fiancé" He gestured to someone sitting directly opposite Inu-Yasha. There was a vase with flowers in it so he moved it aside and stared at the woman.
"You're the detective!" Inu-Yasha said almost spitting out the food in his mouth in surprise.
"Her name is Kagura" Sesshomaru interrupted. "And she's going to be living here with us from now on"
"Ok, well I gotta go. See ya" Inu-Yasha said then put down his fork, picked up his backpack, and walked out the front door. He walked across the cold dew covered grass to where a few of the Becker's were standing waiting for the bus.
"Hi Inu-Yasha! Excited for the first day back?" Emily had come up beside him half smiling.
"Hey, not really. I hate school and it hates me remember?" He said honestly not smiling at all.
"Well hopefully you'll be in a class with us this year. That'd make it better right?" She looked at him hopefully. They had all been trying to cheer each other up since the summer's events.
"Right" He said without much enthusiasm and a hint of sarcasm.
Emily looked a bit hurt by this response and didn't speak to him again the whole time. Even Miroku decided not to say anything and had stopped, for the most part, being his lecherous self.
When they had arrived at the High school Inu-Yasha, despite his coldness, walked with Emily, Miroku, Sango, and Skye. They all had lockers close to each other. There were a couple of lockers between theirs but they were close. "Let's go to the forum. I want to know what homeroom we're in this year so we can get our schedules" Skye said and led the way to the forum (entrance hall).
There were a lot of students there since so many went to the school so they had Skye, the smallest out of all of them go to the list and check for all of them. When she had come back her face was one of delight. "Good news guys. We're in the same homeroom this year!"
"What room?" Inu-Yasha asked his mood picking up a little.
"Room 224. Let's go" They made their way slowly down the halls until they came across room 224. It was used as a history room but for fifteen minutes it was homeroom. As they walked in there were already a couple of kids seated. None looked like they knew each other. As Inu-Yasha scanned the room his eyes fell upon a familiar girl. She was sitting near a window and was looking out of it.
"You know her?" Emily asked noticing where Inu-Yasha's gaze was.
"Yeah I met her in the convenience store last week. She went to the private school and just transferred to the public school this year."
"Ugh, I bet she's from The Slonybook School. I don't like the people from there. Most think they're better than us just because they go to that stupid private school. I don't get why it's even there! It's within the districts boundaries and has the same things we do. Only difference is they have to wear uniforms. Well let's sit over here" Emily finished. She had a bad run in with a girl from that school one time. It ended in the private school girl on the ground bleeding profusely from her nose and Emily walking away with a few scratches. Not a pretty sight.
"Well she seemed nice when I talked to her. Not stuck up about anything really. She said she doesn't go outside often. That would definitely explain her skin color. Whatever" Inu-Yasha turned back to the group and they all had looks of surprise on their faces. "What?"
"Oh, nothing. It's just that you're not sulking anymore. You look better" Skye voiced.
"Oh, well. Shut up"
"Can't even take a friggin complement" She grumbled then looked around the class. More students filed in and finally the bell rang. They all got their schedules and soon enough were off to them. Inu-Yasha had a few classes with Emily, one with Skye, and four with Miroku. It was going to be one helluvayear. However Inu-Yasha had no clue how true this statement would become.
Four periods later
"Damn, my classes get more and more boring every year. What's more is every teacher gave the same speech!" Inu-Yasha said as he sat down with his lunch at the table his group had picked.
"You mean the SAT speech? I know what you mean" Emily said, then straightening up she said "The SAT's are going to be the most important tests you will ever take. It is a large part in why colleges pick or do not pick you to enter their fine institute. And blah blah blah blah blah all day long" She slouched again and laughed along with the rest of the group.
"Excuse me, may I sit with you?" The group's attention was adverted to the speaker. She spoke like she was scared they would say no.
"Sure, there's enough room." Miroku said eagerly clearing the place beside him of his books.
"Oh, thank you" She sat down and started eating.
"So, I haven't seen you around. You new?" Miroku asked
"Sort of. I went to the private school before this but decided to come here this year. I heard it was better." She answered "But I thought your friend Osaka-san told you this morning.
"So you do know each other"
"I talked to him briefly in a store last week. So I suppose we know of each other"
"Ahh" Miroku then took her hands in his and said what he says to every new girl he meets. "Will you bear my child?" Lauren's (we got her name from the last chapter…I just remembered it) eyes grew wide with shock as Sango reflexively hit him over the head as hard as she could with her newly acquired textbook.
"Don't mind him. He says that to every girl he meets" Sango assured her as Miroku lay on the floor unconscious.
"Is he ok?"
"Yeah, should be fine in a couple of minutes" Sango said passively. "Anyway what's your name?"
"Lauren Viselli, you?"
"Sango Taijiya" Sango said
"Emily Becker"
"Skye Becker and that's Miroku Houshi"
"Oh so you two are sisters?" Lauren asked pointing to Emily and Skye. "You look nothing alike"
"Well we're sisters by adoption. My parents adopted a lot and there are more that go to the elementary and junior high schools. There are two in 10th grade also." Emily explained.
"Oh I see" Lauren answered.
"Well, welcome to the public school. Hope it works out better than the private school for ya" Skye piped in.
