Chapter 13- A Not so Regular Day at School

666 999 666 999 666 999 666 999

"Good morning, okaa-san!"

"Good morning, Kagome. My, you're up early today. Here, I made some toast for breakfast."

"Thank you, Mama. I've gotta go to school early today to study for my exams. Sayonara!

"Sayonara Kagome."

Kagome grabbed a piece of toast that was on the table and ran out the door. ' I need to make it there before classes start!'

======with Inuyasha and Miroku======

Miroku slowly walked toward the direction of the well. Inuyasha didn't come back yesterday after Kagome left, neither did he come back that night or the next day. 'There was only one place he could be.'

As the well came into view, Miroku saw a red and silver lump sitting beside it, mumbling small curses about a 'wench'.

"Inuyasha?"

"What is it monk?"

"You've been looking into that well all morning. If you want her to come back, go back and get her."

"Feh. Who said I want her back?" Inuyasha had leapt up for his spot on by the well and had landed in front of the monk to shout at him.

Miroku sighed. "Very well, Inuyasha. I'll leave you to your mopping then."

Inuyasha turned away. "Thank- what?! Mopping?! Miroku!" We he turned around to kill the monk, he was already half way back to the village. "Feh. Stupid monk. I'll get him when I come back."

Inuyasha jumped up onto the lip of the well with a small leap, and jumped into the well. But before he did, he gave one glance and a sniff for any 'spies'.

======With Kagome's mom=====

Mrs. Higurashi watched with wonder as her daughter bounded out of the house towards school. "How she could do that so early, I'll never know." Just as she turned back to making Sota's breakfast, a red and silver blur ran out of the well house.

She stopped what she was doing when she heard footsteps walking around up stairs. 'Now is that Sota or you-know-who?' She listened a few more minutes as the footsteps moved from one room to another, getting louder and louder, expressing the person's anger. They moved back to the room they had started from and stopped for a minute. 'Maybe it was Sota...'

Suddenly, there was a loud and very bad curse, then the footsteps stomped angrily towards the stairs. 'No, it's Inuyasha.'

Mrs. Higurashi smiled as Inuyasha appeared at the bottom of the stairs with an angry scowl on his face. "Good morning, Inuyasha. Were you looking for Kagome?"

Inuyasha grunted as he sat down at the table and began tapping his claws on the hard wooden surface.

Instantly, Mrs. Higurashi began making some ramen for the surly hanyou and continued making Sota's breakfast.

"She left for school just before you arrived. She told me that she had to study some with her friends at the school."

Inuyasha's ears perked slightly when the scent of the ramen filled his nose and his mouth began to water. 'Mmmm, ramen. I'll go get Kagome later.'

The two remanded silent until Mrs. Higurashi handed Inuyasha his ramen and placed Sota's breakfast on the table while heading towards the stairs.

She was about to shout to her son that breakfast was ready, but remembered that it would hurt the hanyou's ears a lot. So she walked up the stairs and went to Sota's room.

Mean while, Inuyasha was half way done of his ramen when he smelt Kagome's brother coming down the stairs. 'Uh, maybe I should go now.'

"Wow! Hi Inu-chan! Are you here to-"

Inuyasha stuffed the rest of the ramen into his mouth and stood up from the table. He opened his mouth only to close it quickly to swallow the noodles in his mouth. His mother had told him never to speak with his mouth full when he was younger.

"Arigato (A/N: I'm not completely sure how to spell that yet, so forgive me if it's wrong...), Mrs. Higurashi."

"Here, Inuyasha, take this if you're going to Kagome's school."

Inuyasha looked down at what was in her hand and cringed. 'Oh no, not one of these 'hat' things.' Against his will, Inuyasha nodded and put the hat on over his ears and head out the door.

Mrs. Higurashi stood smiling with Sota for a few seconds before the young boy spoke up.

"Okaa-san, what was Inu-chan doing here so early?" Sota looked up at his mother's smiling face.

"Hurry up and eat your breakfast Sota, or you'll be late."

Sota sweat dropped and sat down to eat. 'Why does she always avoid those kind of questions?'

======With Kagome at noon=======

Kagome walked through the crowds of people towards a picnic bench with her tray. Her friends had told her to go ahead of them and look for a bench before they were all gone.

When she finally found one, she sat down and sighed. It was hard work looking for a bench that had no one already at it. She reached into her bag and began studying for the exam (AGAIN) while she waited for the three other girls. The big test was during her last class of the day and she wanted to get as much studying in as possible before then.

She quickly looked up to search for her friends, but found something else that caught her attention.

Two eighth graders were looking up in a tree that was nearby and...giggling? Another boy and a girl stopped to see what they were looking at, looked at each other and began to walk away.

Kagome pretended to be reading her text book as they walked by.

"...sleeping in a tree? That's weird."

"I know. What with the hair? And the clothes?"

"Have no idea."

Sleeping in a tree? Weird hair? Weird clothes? Kagome gasped and looked at the tree again. 'It couldn't be. Better go look and make sure.'

As Kagome casually walked over to the tree, the two giggling girls noticed her and ran over to her.

"What are you-"

"Shhh, be quiet or you'll wake him." The taller one of the girls whispered and then went back to look at 'him' in the tree.

"Come look, but be quite." The other girl whispered and grabbed Kagome's wrist.

Kagome allowed herself to be lead until she was standing beside the other girl. She hesitated for a moment, then looked up into the tree branches.

Up in the tree, a silver haired hanyou slept with a black and red baseball cap over his ears.

"Isn't he cute?" The second girl whispered as quietly as she could. Kagome nearly fell over. 'WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?!' Her mind screamed.

Kagome looked up again with a look of anger on her face, but it was quickly replaced with shock when the hanyou opened one eye to look at her.

The two eighth graders squealed in delight when they noticed he was awake, causing Inuyasha to make a face at the sound.

He stood up and prepared to jumped down from the branch, but the two girls screamed.

"No! Don't jump! Don't jump!!"

"Feh, stupid wenches." Inuyasha mumbled under his breath before leaping off the branch.

Kagome glared at the girls when they screamed again. "Would you stop that, please? He's fine."

The two girls looked over to Kagome then back at Inuyasha, who had a look of boredom in his face.

"Hey, who are-"

Before the girl could finish, Inuyasha grabbed Kagome around the waist and leapt back up in the tree.

The two girls stared in complete shock at seeing a guy jump from a tree, live, grab a girl and jump back up.

The taller girl looked over to her friend. "Hey."

"Yeah?"

"Why couldn't he have taken me?"

"I don't know..."

And with that, they walked away, beginning to giggle all over again.

=====Up in the tree=====

Inuyasha set Kagome on to the branch beside his and watched the two screeching monsters leave.

"Why were they making those noises, Kagome?" Inuyasha looked over to the girl with a look of annoyance on his face.

"Uh..." Kagome struggled to find the right words to say that wouldn't make Inuyasha mad or embarrassed. "Uh...They thought you...uh..."

"Spit it out!"

"They thought you looked attractive!"

Inuyasha began to blush and instinctively looked somewhere else so he could hide it.

They didn't speak for a few moments, but just sat in the tree and listened to the chatter of the students that were passing by. One conversation sparked something in Kagome's mind.

"You going to the mall this weekend?"

"Oh yeah! Definitely!"

'I forgot about that!' Kagome mentally slapped herself. 'Erura and Areka said to invite Inuyasha. I know he'll hate it...whatever, I'll ask him.'

"Hey, Inuyasha?"

"What?"

"Erura and Areka were wanting to know if we wanted to go to the mall this evening."

"No way. I'll have to wear those stupid things on my feet and rags that you call 'clothing'."

"There'll be ramen there."

Inuyasha considered this. 'Is ramen worth wearing those painful things on my feet?'

"Feh. Fine. Whatever."

Kagome smiled and reached up to pull the hat off of his head. Inuyasha watched her cautiously for a moment before realizing what she was trying to do. His flattened his ears to his head, but it was too late.

Kagome began massaging one of his ears and smiled even bigger when he leaned into her touch. To her amazement, he let out a barely audible growl that sounded like a purr. She tried to stifle her giggle, but failed miserably.

Inuyasha's eyes opened up wide when he realized what he was doing. 'Ah! I gotta get away!' He tried to jerk his head out of her reach but since Kagome was holding on to one of his ears, he ended up yelping and almost fell out of the tree.

"Oh, I'm SO sorry, Inuyasha!" Kagome had her hands over her mouth as she watched Inuyasha began to gently massage the sore ear.

"Feh. Baka! That's what happens when you rub my ears without permission!" He grabbed the cap from her lap and put it back on his head.

"I didn't mean to Inuyasha, I swear!"

"Feh. Whatever."

Grabbing the girl, Inuyasha leapt down from the tree and placed her on the ground.

"I'll be waiting for you in a different tree that's close by."

When Kagome nodded, Inuyasha went back up in his tree to wait for everyone to leave. That was when he'd change trees.

Kagome sighed and walked back over to her bench to find her three friends waiting for her.

Yuka was the first to notice her. "Kagome! Where were you? We were waiting you for five minutes."

"Sorry you guys. I met up with another friend of mine." Kagome quickly sat down beside Ayumi and began eating her lunch.

Eri glared at Kagome. "Was it your boyfriend?"

Kagome choked on her food. 'ARG! Again with the boyfriend thing!'

"Kagome are you alright?" Ayumi asked.

"I'm fine, and so what if it was my boyfriend?"

Eri sighed and Yuka groaned. "Kagome, he's two-timing you! Stop seeing him!"

"We're just friends now, okay? Stop worrying about me, I'll be fine!" Kagome sighed. "I'm going to o eat under that tree over there. I need to be alone for a while, so don't follow me." Kagome picked up her tray and headed over to the tree that held the hanyou in it.

Ayumi watched as Kagome stalked off. "She's so edgy lately about her boyfriend."

Eri took a sip of her milk. "Maybe we should lay off for a while..."

They watched as Kagome sat down under the tree and looked up into it's branches.

"What is she smiling about?" Yuka asked.
