Chapter 4
Tuesday 1200 Hours
InuYasha stood outside the girl's locker room while Kagome showered and changed for her next class. Gym had been rather exhausting; playing volleyball in the blaze of the afternoon sun could really wear you out. InuYasha had opted to wear a pair of jeans and a Hawaiian t-shirt today. It wasn't the most professional outfit but it was damn comfortable. He looked up and saw Miroku walking towards him.
"Hey....Miroku," InuYasha still couldn't remember his name exactly, "what's your next class?"
Miroku glanced at InuYasha and stopped. "Algebra 2. Hey, aren't you supposed to be watching Kagome at all times?" he asked.
"Yeah, that's my job."
An evil grin crept onto Miroku's face. "Well, shouldn't you be in there with her?" he motioned to the locker room.
InuYasha stared blankly at him for a moment. "You're really perverted, you know that right?"
In the locker room (Nothing like that, you pervs.)
Kagome stepped out of the warm shower and wrapped a towel around herself. Steam enveloped the room; some girls were secretly changing in the corners of the room while others just changed in the middle of the room and not giving a damn who saw. But everyone was chatting about the latest gossip or what they were doing that weekend. It's funny that no matter how different they are in popularity, whenever teenage girls are in a room together they'll always talk about anything. Kagome went over to her locker, which was located near the bathroom stalls, and opened it. Someone walked by on their way to the stalls. Kagome pulled out her thong [A.N: ;; WHAT?!] and was about to remove her towel when all of the sudden she heard screaming behind her. She whirled around to see what it was going on.
In the hallway
Suddenly, a scream erupted from inside the locker room. At first InuYasha just shrugged it off.
"One of them probably forgot their make-up or something," Miroku suggested. Then InuYasha heard Kagome scream. He couldn't ignore that. In the blink of an eye his Beretta was out of his holster and in his hand as he charged into the locker room. He looked around wildly for a Kagome through the dense steam. More girls were screaming now. Some were screaming at whatever in was in the bathroom and some of them were screaming at the sight of InuYasha charging in with a gun; some were screaming at both. InuYasha pushed his way through the crowd of girls towards the bathroom. He saw a single person in the middle of the crowd trying to fight his way through as well. Apparently he didn't see InuYasha or he would have ducked the fist that came flying at him. InuYasha grabbed hold of the person's neck and slammed him into a nearby locker; the barrel of the Beretta was pointed against his temple.
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!" InuYasha demanded as he pressed the barrel harder. His eyes made a cursory examination of the intruder. He was a teenager, couldn't have been more than 17. His short black hair looked like it was a military-style cut. But then InuYasha realized that he was wearing a school uniform.
Suddenly a familiar voice came out of the crowd. "Wait InuYasha, I know who that is. He's in my chemistry class."
InuYasha slowly turned his head around and glared at Miroku while keeping the gun pointed at the kid. The room was now silent except for the sound of water in the showers splashing against the tile floor. "Miroku, what the hell are you doing in here?" InuYasha asked through clenched teeth.
"I figured you might have needed help," he replied as if it was obvious.
"And how the hell," InuYasha's voice was beginning to get louder, "we're you going to help me? What if this guy had an Uzi? What would you have done then?"
"Actually," he leaned closer to InuYasha and lowered his voice to a whisper. "I came in here to see Sango."
"Leave, now."
"But I just..."
"NOW!"
"Ok, I'm leaving. Sheesh." Miroku turned and began to walk out.
InuYasha turned back to the prisoner in his hand. "Now, what the hell were YOU doing in here?"
"Sango!" Miroku's voice could suddenly be heard from the back of the crowd of scantily clad girls. This caused InuYasha to turn around again; one of his hands still held the kid against the locker and the other still held the Beretta against his temple.
"MIROKU?! What the hell are you doing in here?! I'm not even dressed!"
"Oh Sango, it's not like I haven't seen you naked before."
CRASH The sound of a skull colliding with a metal locker echoes through the room. "HENTAI!!! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT OUT LOUD!!!" No one could see what was going on because the steam was so dense, but they heard some slaps, running, the door opening, and then the door slamming. Out in the hall they heard more slaps and then a loud shriek. "OH MY GOD! MIROKU GIVE ME BACK MY TOWEL NOW! IF I GET CAUGHT IN THE HALL NAKED I'M GOING TO BE EXPELLED!!!"
"You'll have to catch me first!" Miroku's voice was playful and childish. The door slammed open again and Sango ran back in. She stormed over to her locker and didn't seem to care that everyone was staring; she didn't even cover herself up. She got dressed hastily while mumbling death- threats and then charged back out the door after Miroku.
There was a moment of dead silence in the locker room, except for the showers, and everyone stared at where the door would be if they could see it. Finally, InuYasha spoke. "What the hell just happened?"
The kid in InuYasha's hand laughed. "I don't know, but it was pretty fucking funny." He seemed to have forgotten that there was a gun pressed against his head.
InuYasha turned back to him and slowly lowered the gun back into its holster. "I wouldn't talk right now. What the hell are you doing in here?"
"I....I was.....trying to get a peak at the girls. My friends told me to. They said that if I stole a thong then they'd give me fifty bucks. But while I was in here the class ended so I had to hide in one of the bathroom stalls."
InuYasha glared at him. Suddenly, he smiled and began to laugh. "Is that all?" he asked. He began to grope his way through the steam to the door, but he still hadn't let go of the kid. "Why didn't you just say so? I mean, I'm a reasonable guy. You should have just said that and I would have let you leave a lot sooner." He opened the door.
"Really?"
The smile vanished off of InuYasha's face and was replaced by a menacing glare. "No." Suddenly, InuYasha hurled him out of the locker room, the kid slammed into the wall outside and crumpled into a heap on the hallway floor.
"BE THANKFUL I'M NOT KICKING THE SHIT OUT OF YOU RIGHT NOW! GET A LIFE YOU FUCKING PERVERT!" The kid picked himself off of the floor and ran away. InuYasha slammed the door shut and turned around to the crowd of awestruck girls. He took a few deep breaths. "Kagome?" he called out.
"Here!" She edged her way through the crowd and walked up to InuYasha. "Listen InuYasha, I just want to say."
InuYasha wasn't paying attention. The sight of Kagome engrossed his attention. He wasn't thinking about the fact that the towel she was wearing was slipping down and he could see her breasts; Kagome didn't seem to notice. Ok, so it was in the back of his mind, but there wasn't much thought about it. Her brown eyes, her freshly cleaned black hair, and her smile were all so familiar. She almost looked like...her.
"And I just want to thank you for getting rid of him. So, what did you want to tell me?"
"Huh? Oh," InuYasha's voice was distant and zombie-like, "I was just going to say I'll be waiting outside." He continued to stare.
"Ok, I'll be done in five minutes."
"Uh huh." He continued to stare. [A.N: I repeated that for emphasis.]
"...InuYasha? You can leave now. Some of us like to change in private."
InuYasha snapped back to reality. "What? Oh, sorry." He opened the door and quickly backed out while tripping over himself. He leaned against the wall outside and removed a pack of cigarettes and a silver Zippo from his back pocket. He lit a cigarette and took a long puff. He always needed a cigarette to help him calm down after something exciting. He exhaled and the smoke floated above his head like a halo.
"You know, that's a really bad habit. You should quit." The sudden sound of Kagome's voice almost caused him to gag on the smoke.
"Kagome! I didn't hear you come out...I wasn't paying attention."
"That's OK, but could you please put that out? I hate the smell of smoke. Plus I don't know how the teachers would react."
"Oh, I'm sorry." InuYasha dropped the butt and smashed down on it with the heel of his shoe. "So, what's your next class?"
"Literature. We're discussing "The Taming of the Shrew"."
"Good, maybe I can help." InuYasha offered.
On their way to Literature class, InuYasha and Kagome passed by a janitor's closet. A muffled groan reached their ears. They stopped walking and stared for a moment. InuYasha gently nudged Kagome backward with his arm and opened the door. As light filled the tiny closet both InuYasha and Kagome could see someone sprawled out on the bottom; a white towel draped over the face. InuYasha pulled back the towel. Miroku squinted back up at them; his left I was bruised and his nose was bleeding.
"Shut the door please, I need a few minutes to recover," he moaned.
InuYasha was more than happy to oblige. He shut the door quickly and both he and Kagome walked away.
End of Chapter 4
Sorry I had to cut that short. What did you think? The next chapter might be a little strange because of the flashbacks and some other stuff. Whatever. Please review. Don't know when the next chapter will be up. Cya.
