DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha.
I'm very sorry, but I really don't know how the college system in Japan works, so I framed it to a college schedule like one in America. Please forgive me, but I think that it would make the story sound better.
Chapter Nine: Jealousy Takes A Toll On Inuyasha
"Miroku!" Kagome screamed while trying to put on her socks. "Would you please hurry up? We're going to be late for class!"
"Impatient to get to school now are we?" Miroku teased his cousin as he stuffed the last piece of toast into his mouth.
The two headed out to Miroku's car and drove to Tokyo University. Kagome had picked the same classes as him and he knew that they would be together because they had registered for the same classes. He also knew that Inuyasha and Sango would also be in the same classes. Rin and Sesshomaru had also registered for the same classes, so they would all end up together.
They arrived at math class first. Their teacher, Professor Myouga, was old and boring. Kagome took a seat in the back of the room and was eventually joined by Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango. They each had separate desks in the back row but Kagome sat between Inuyasha and Sango.
Kagome looked excitedly around her. She noticed that a boy with sandy-brown hair was staring at her. She tried to be friendly and smiled back at him. His face broke out with a smile that looked as if he had died and gone to heaven.
Kagome was a bit unnerved at this weird boy's reaction, but shrugged it off quickly when the professor called on her to answer a question.
"Miss Higurashi," Professor Myouga wheezed out. "Please pay attention in class. Or you may go outside."
Kagome blushed and simply muttered, "Yes sir."
Inuyasha snickered when he heard Kagome get reprimanded by the professor. Kagome glared at him and gave him the look. Inuyasha understood the message, the 'Don't laugh at me or I will gladly kill you in public' look. Inuyasha gulped and decided to keep quiet.
The rest of the class went by uneventfully and they made it to lunch with no further problems. During lunch the group sat together. Suddenly, Hojo, the boy with sandy-brown hair stopped by Kagome's table and asked to sit with them.
Kagome smiled and moved over so that he could sit on the bench. Inuyasha growled at the intrusion. He did not like the fact that Hojo was sitting close to Kagome and that he was taking Kagome's attention away from him.
Kagome heard Inuyasha growl and turned around to give him a questioning look. Inuyasha continued to glare at Hojo. Kagome gently elbowed Inuyasha to get his attention. She mouthed the words 'cut it out' to him and he just grumbled.
'Why is it that I feel this urge to knock out Hojo?' Inuyasha thought. 'It's not as if he did anything. He just sat down! But right next to Kagome! No one is allowed near Kagome but me!'
Inuyasha was too busy with his thoughts that he didn't notice that the others were done already. Kagome shook his shoulder gently to snap him out of his thoughts.
"Huh?" Inuyasha replied intelligently.
"The others are leaving already," Kagome replied.
Suddenly a loud scream and slap was heard in the cafeteria. Kagome turned around to see Sango breathing hard and a Miroku holding a hand to his cheek, which sported a red mark.
"I'm sorry Sango," Miroku explained. "My hand has a mind of its own, I swear."
Sango just rolled her eyes and grabbed him by his ear and led him to their next class. "Seriously, I don't know why I put up with you." Sango muttered.
"Because you can't resist my powerful and manly charms?" Miroku suggested.
This earned him another slap and a giggle from Rin, who followed closely behind with a stoic Sesshomaru.
Inuyasha was relieved in a way. Since Kagome was Miroku's cousin, he wouldn't be laying a hand on her. So, Inuyasha had one less member of the male species to protect her against. He had to admit, this strange possessiveness was new to him. He had never felt the urge to protect a girl so fiercely before, but with Kagome, it was totally different.
Inuyasha quickly followed Kagome to their science class. He was prepared to go in and just enjoy another class with Kagome, but little did he know, things would heat up in this class.
Kagome had already arrived at class when she saw that the boy Hojo, was also in her class. She groaned when she realized that Inuyasha might start growling at the boy again for no apparent reason.
Kagome had accidentally dropped her pencil and it rolled over near a chair. As she leaned over to pick it up, another hand beat her to it. She looked up into the brown eyes of a boy who smirked at her.
"My, my," Kouga spoke. "Aren't you looking lovely? Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Kouga."
"Um, hi," Kagome replied nervously. She didn't really like the way this boy was staring at her, as if she was a meal or something. "I'm Kagome."
"Kagome, huh?" Kouga asked. "That's a pretty name. And it's perfect for that pretty face of yours."
Kagome rolled her eyes at his lame attempt to impress her. "Uh, thanks."
She reached out to retrieve her pencil but Kouga grabbed her hand. Startled, she tried to pull her hand away.
"Do you have any plans Saturday night?" Kouga asked her as he pulled her forward.
Kagome was shocked. She couldn't believe that Kouga was asking her out on a date when he barely even knew her.
"Well...I," Kagome stammered. She was saved from giving an answer when Inuyasha interrupted.
"Yeah, she has plans," Inuyasha interrupted. His blood was boiling from seeing Kouga hold Kagome's hands. "She has better things to do than to hang out with the likes of you."
Kouga growled, "I wasn't talking to you now, was I? So why don't you just butt out of my business?"
"Shut up, both of you!" Kagome yelled at them. "You guys have no right to be doing this. Inuyasha, if I did want to go out then I would agree. You don't need to voice your opinions. And Kouga, how dare you insult my friend? I don't care who you think you are, but Inuyasha is my friend, and I don't appreciate people that insult my friends!"
Inuyasha smiled at that. And Kouga just bowed his head in defeat.
Suddenly, Kikyo appeared out of nowhere and draped herself on Inuyasha.
"Hey Inuyasha, baby," Kikyo said coyly. "I'm not busy Saturday night. Maybe we can get together..."
"Forget it, slut," Inuyasha spat out. "I'm not interested."
Kikyo pretended to pout at this. Kagome just laughed at the sight of Kikyo trying to look cute. Kikyo then turned and glared at Kagome.
Then, an idea struck Inuyasha. If he made Kagome jealous, would he be closer to winning her?
"Uh, Kikyo," Inuyasha began hesitantly. He hoped that his plan wouldn't backfire. "About Saturday, I don't know, I might have nothing scheduled."
Kagome's jaw dropped when she saw Inuyasha was actually buying into Kikyo's fake tears. Then she snapped up angrily.
"Yeah, Kouga," Kagome began sweetly. "About Saturday, it seems as if I don't have anything planned either. I'd be glad to go out with you. At what time?"
"Six," Kouga replied that indicated that he was the happiest man on Earth at the moment.
"Sure," Kagome replied and blew him a kiss as she walked back to her seat.
Inuyasha was shocked when Kagome actually accepted that wimpy boy. He glared and growled at Kouga, but Kouga only smirked back at him. 'Great,' he thought. 'My plan really did backfire on me. I pushed her into his arms, but...I'll show her.'
"Fine Kikyo," Inuyasha muttered with determination. "We'll go somewhere Saturday."
Kikyo turned around and smirked at a shocked Kagome.
'Two can play at this game,' Kagome thought angrily when she looked at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha gulped. 'Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. I mean, I really wanted to ask Kagome out, but she already accepted Kouga. Oh, why me?'
Then another idea struck him. "Hey you guys, why don't we make it a double date?"
Inuyasha figured that a double date would allow him to keep his eyes on Kouga and make sure that he didn't lay a finger on HIS Kagome. 'Whoa, wait a minute, his Kagome? Since when did she become his? But he liked the sound of it.'
"No," Kouga flat out refused. "Sharing a date with you would definitely spoil the mood."
Inuyasha glared at Kouga but turned to Kagome hopefully.
"I guess," Kagome replied. "Fine, then it'll be a double date. Maybe we should ask Miroku and Sesshomaru if they want to come with their girlfriends too.'
"Fine," Inuyasha agreed. He thought that in front of so many people, Kouga wouldn't dare make a move on his Kagome.
The others agreed to go on Saturday. Kouga grumbled at the idea, but Kagome just ignored him.
