"Welcome, kids, go and pick a seat," Pirate-Sensei beamed a smile at the newcomers from behind her desk.
The student's desks were arranged in little groups of five. Kagome and Inuyasha already occupied two desks at a group in the middle. They were so engrossed in a staring match that neither of them noticed another child slid into the seat next to Kagome.
"Hello, lovely," Cooed a voice. Kagome felt something wet on her face. The new boy was kissing her!
"AIEE!" Kagome screamed, falling out of her chair. Boys had cooties! Everyone knew that! She was diseased!! She wiped her cheek frantically where the boy had smooched her.
He leaned over her desk and smiled down at her. His hair was black and pulled back into a little ponytail. His eyes were dark, the same color as Kagome's.
"You're disgusting!" Kagome yelled at him, leaping back into her chair. "Go sit somewhere else!"
"I'm sorry, its just that you're so beau-ti-ful," The boy said in a smooth voice. "I love pretty girls."
Kagome couldn't help but be flattered. She was pretty? She smiled at him and fluttered her eyelashes to let him know he was forgiven.
Unfortunately, the new boy took it wrong. He leaned over for another kiss. Kagome pushed him back in the other direction.
"So, what's your name, anyway?"
"I am Miroku, but a pretty girl like you can call me anything you want." He smiled widely. Inuyasha sneered.
"How bout Yuckie, then?"
"Um, no," Miroku glared. "I wasn't talking to you."
"Yuckie! That's a great idea!" Kagome laughed and clapped her hands. She smiled at Inuyasha but he looked away.
"Hey, Kagome," Yucky-Miroku leaned over and whispered as Pirate-Sensei began talking. "May I ask you something?"
"Sure!" Kagome began to like this new boy. He might have kissed her, but Yucky-Miroku didn't seem so bad. After all, he was nice and polite. Unlike that mean little Inuyasha boy. Maybe they could be friends.
"What color undies are you wearing?"
On second thought, maybe not. Kagome shoved him out of his chair and onto the floor.
