CHAPTER FOUR

And What do You Know…A Flashback party.

Kagome watched in interest as the first group walked out onto the temporarily padded gymnasium, she couldn't help but frown…a red belt versus a yellow, that didn't seem fair. But after Coach Hiei had signaled for the fight to start, and the two went at it; Kagome's first expression changed drastically, damn the yellow belt girl is kicking the red belt boys ass. The fight went on for what seemed like an eternity until the coach finally stopped them, the girl winning of course, and the boy was even sent to the nurse for a bloody nose. Girl power!

The second pair went up, a smile spread across Kagome's face…Spike, she hadn't seen him come in-must have been late, as usual. He was a junior black belt just like Kagome was. Spike and his partner only fought for what seemed like a matter of seconds. Spike's partner…a tall red headed boy with the same belt as Spike, seemed to run circles around poor Spike, until Spike grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and slung him to the floor…GO SPIKE!

The fights seemed to go on forever, until finally number nine took the floor. Kagome quickly stretched during the fight before hers and Inuyasha's and when it was finally their turn, she pushed off the wall she was leaning against and took off onto the middle of the padded area. Kagome stood there for a minute or so. She stayed motionless facing Inuyasha waiting until they were told to go…and GO.

Kagome and Inuyasha bowed to one another and then stood in silence for a brief second, examining their opponent. They had been in the martial arts class together ever since freshman year but they had never fought one another…if you don't count that one time after school in the hallway last year.

Kagome was the first to push off, jumping up into a roundhouse kick, she felt her foot hit hard against Inuyasha's arm as he blocked her, knocking her to the floor. Kagome did a quick tip-up, he's holding back, he could have punched me just then…that jerk. Kagome launched at him again with a side kick to the stomach, hitting him square in the chest.

Inuyasha fell to the ground with a small thud, damn that hurt more than it should have. He hurriedly jumped to his feet and quickly attached Kagome with a three punch-back kick combo. Kagome easily blocked his punches but that kick caught her by surprise, she staggered backward a little but quickly caught her balance, and with that she kicked off, throwing targeted punch after targeted punch. Inuyasha blocked all of them. And then out of nowhere Kagome did a perfect crescent kick hitting Inuyasha in the head…ouch.

Of course the audience couldn't see a thing, it was like Kagome and Inuyasha had formed into a black blur. Everyone's jaws dropped even Coach Hiei was a little shocked, as they watched Kagome get knocked all the way over to the bleachers…and then just got right back up, called Inuyasha a jackass, and went right back to fighting, becoming a black blur once again. They fought for what seemed like all eternity, until finally Kagome dropped down to the floor and in one fluid motion swept her foot under Inuyasha trying to knock his feet out from under him but he just jumped out of the way. Kagome did a quick tip-up, but instead of landing on her feet, she used the momentum of her push to side kick Inuyasha in the stomach, knocking him over. She quickly snapped up and put her foot right above Inuyasha's neck holding him flat on the floor. Inuyasha just grabbed her foot, "You're coming down with Me." he growled before he pulled her to the floor. She landed right next to him on her stomach with a loud yelp.

Kagome rolled over and sat up next to the boy beside her, they sat there for a moment before they both broke out into laughter. Kagome curled up into a ball holding her sides as she fell back to the floor laughing her head off.

Inuyasha chuckled to himself, but the second Kagome fell back on the floor he couldn't hold it in any longer…Inuyasha began laughing hysterically.

"Oh you're coming down with me." Kagome laughed in a mocking voice which just made Inuyasha laugh even harder.

Everyone sweat dropped. They're getting along…they're laughing together!…the world is going to end.

Ten minutes later.

Kagome sighed as she sat back up and whipped the tears from her eyes, and then it hit her. Kagome starred at Inuyasha wide-eyed for a moment before she punched Inuyasha in the shoulder. "You jerk you tried to hold out on me…you know I could so kick your ass."

Inuyasha just rolled his eyes, "yeah right like that could ever happen…and besides I wouldn't have had to hold back if you weren't such a stupid wimpy little girl."

"Oh yeah…"

"Yeah."

"Think again jerk. If I'm not mistaken this stupid wimpy little girl just kicked your ass."

"No way, I let you win…and besides I PULLED you down, so I think I won."

"NO WAY! You cheated!!!"

"NO I DIDN"T…YOU DID."

Glare.

I knew it would never last.

Inuyasha and Kagome both stood up and dusted themselves off before each went to the opposite side of the room. Flashing middle fingers and death glares at each other ever so often during the retreating fights.

~*~*~*~

Finally, at the end of the day Kagome rushed off towards the school entrance completely leaving the rest of her history class in her dust.

Kagome turned the corner and ran across the lobby, pushing the double doors open, and walked outside to the schools pickup line, ah fresh air. Kagome smiled when she noticed Sango, Duo, Spike, and Asuka over by a vending machine.

"Hey guys." Kagome said smiling until she realized that Duo and Spike were laughing at her.

"I can't believe the two of you are stuck babysitting each other for the whole year." Spike roared before he fell to the cement laughing himself to death.

Duo grinned evilly. "Of course the two of you deserve it after what happened last year."

Sango nodded in approval, "He has a point."

Kagome glared at Sango, who just shrugged her shoulders, "Well…"

Oh Kagome remembered the event well. Last year at the end of the day on the last day of school Kagome and Inuyasha, had had well…a disagreement.

Kagome sighed as she glanced around the large lobby for Sango, they were supposed to go to her house for an 'end of school all night movie bash' but apparently she hadn't come out of class yet.

That's when Kagome saw Inuyasha. He was laughing with Miroku about something but when he spotted her on the other side of the lobby, he just rolled his eyes at her and approached her angrily. "Where's your sister bitch?"

Kagome glared at him, "Don't call me that asshole."

Inuyasha just shrugged his shoulders before whispering the forbidden name in her ear. That did it, Kagome was having a bad day already considering she had almost failed one of her classes. She grabbed him by the collar of his shirt pulling him down to look her straight in the eye. "Call me that again and I will rip your heart out."

Inuyasha just pushed Kagome off of him (gently) and narrowed his eyes even more…

"I dare you" he growled.

Kagome tightened her fists in anger "I'm warning you…leave me the hell alone."

Inuyasha smirked, "Or you'll do what, rip my heart out…OH! I'm terrified." He said laughing in a mocking voice.

"GO AWAY INUYASHA!"

"Not until you tell me where Kikyo is."

"Go find her by your own damn self."

"Hey I just asked a simple question…you don't have to be such a bitch."

"I told you not to CALL ME THAT!" Kagome shrieked as she punched Inuyasha, he just barley dogged it.

"What the heck was that for witch?"

"I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME NAMES ASSHOLE!" Kagome shrieked as she gave out a primitive battle cry and jumped on top of Inuyasha sending them both to the floor. Kagome began punching Inuyasha in the head over and over again, leaving a stack of bruises on his cranium.

Inuyasha jerked away from Kagome and glared at her, "WHAT THE HECK, WATCH IT WENCH?!"

"Stop calling me name's dumb ass?" Kagome growled before leaping on top of him again, this time she forced him to roll over on his stomach as she held his arms on top of his back holding them there in a death grip. She sat on his back straddling his hips with her thighs. In any other circumstance Inuyasha would have found that seductive, but…

"GET OFF ME!"

"Say mercy bee-at-ch." Kagome spat triumphantly.

"I SAID GET OFF OF ME!"

"Say mercy bitch." Kagome jerked one of his arms harder. Inuyasha could even hear the muscles in his biceps begin to rip and tear.

"GET OFF OF ME NOW!"

Kagome just tightened her grip even more, she's going to pull my arm out of socket. "I SAID SAY MERCY!" Kagome growled demandingly. As she introduced Inuyasha with her foot, hitting him right in the middle of the back of his skull.

"MS. HIRUGASHI MR. OSUWARI!"

Kagome turned around just in time to see the teacher whose class she had just barely passed, running out of the cafeteria towards them. Uh oh!

Kagome sighed as she slowly returned from her flashback. She giggled when she saw Spike down on the ground falsely quivering in fear, with Duo standing over top of him with his foot on Spike's chest and his hands on his hips with a victorious grin spread across his face.

"I said bark Inuyasha." Duo growled in a mocking voice, trying his best not to laugh.

Spike just yelped in fake fear, "WOOF KAGOME WOOF."

Kagome threw her head back giggling hysterically.

"Actually I think I made more of a growl sound."

Everyone turned around fearfully to see Inuyasha standing behind them with an annoyed scowl on his face. Uh oh…were dead!

Kagome moaned under her breath when she noticed that Inuyasha had a girl hanging on his arm, seductively looking up at Inuyasha with a contented grin. I knew it…he didn't care about Kikyo at all. "I think I liked your last leach better." Kagome growled angrily at Inuyasha. And of all people he goes for that stupid cheerleader Sakuya Kobayashi. (Insert a picture of the girl you hate most drawn in anime style as Sakuya.)

He was just about to say something when he heard Sakuya whine, "Inuyasha can we go some where else…I don't like her." Sakuya turned to look at Kagome mouthing the word LOSER to her.

Inuyasha nodded and they walked off, leaving everyone else standing there with pissed off glares.

~*~*~*~

Kagome waited until she saw Kikyo walk out and then the two made their way home together in silence. Both way to pissed off about their day to speak…both oblivious to the fact that they were pissed off at the same boy.
