Bump
Sango said hi here and there while Kagome tried to ignore the dozens of eyes on
her. A girl who smelled strongly of perfume bounced in front of her.
"Kikyo! Kikyo! You won't BELIEVE it! I just found the juiciest
gossip-"
"I'm not Kikyo."
The girl stopped bouncing around and looked at Kagome carefully.
"Are you sure?" she said, obviously confused.
"Yes, she is. So go away."
Sango stared down the girl until she gave a huff and bounced away.
"Come on, I'll show you my friends. It's pretty much a group of boys, you
don't really want to hang out with the girls around here. They are mostly
Kikyo's gang."
"Will I meet this famed Kikyo?"
"We might have her in a few classes, oh, there she is right now."
Sango rolled her eyes.
"With her usual entrance, of course."
Kagome craned her neck to see above the heads of students. A beautiful girl had
just walked in, her long hair was straightened to perfection. And the contrast
between her dark hair and her pale skin really drew the eye to to her face.
Kagome could see they looked slightly similar, but she would never wear that
gaudy, heavy makeup. Especially that bright red lipstick that almost blinded
her eyes. She walked as if she owned the school grounds and smiled seductively
to a few chosen boys. She was a beauty, however, and walked like she knew it.
"So what do you think of the queen of our school?"
"Let's just say if she rules me around, she's in for a rude awakening."
"Just be careful. Kikyo pretty much leaves me alone because I hang out
with the guys. Who knows what kind of idea of torture she might come up with
you."
"Don't worry Sango, I hate fights, they're very....scary."
Sango's gaze was a little wary, but she gave a smile.
"Enough about the queen of whores...erm...the queen of girls, come and
meet the guys."
Sango led her to a group of boys hanging around under a
large oak tree. Two boys caught her attention very quickly. One was that
annoying flirtacious man from last night and the other....almost took her
breath away. He was talking to the man from last night and took no notice of
the girls' appearance. He had long silvery hair that was almost white in the
sun's rays. And his golden eyes radiated a stubborn but light hearted
personality. Kagome's staring made him move his eyes from the man to her.
"Who's she?" he said, rather roughly.
"She's new, just moved into my apartment building. Boys, this is Kagome.
Kagome, the boys. And Miroku...hands off!"
The man from last night gave a helpless smile and gave Sango a kiss on the
cheek. The boys crowded around her, greetings coming from every direction. But
one boy didn't come over to greet her, and that was the guy with the golden
eyes. Sango, noticing this, reached over and punched him in the arm.
"Hey, you can at least be nice to Kagome-chan, Inuyasha."
*Inuyasha, huh? Weird name, never heard of it before*
"Strange name, isn't?" Someone whispered right by her ear. Kagome's
lightning reflexes made her turn around before she could think, smacking her
forehead into someone else's. She closed her eyes for a second and winced. When
she opened her eyes she was looking into alluring pools of gold. At first she
thought it was Inuyasha's, but these eyes were cold and emotionless, not
stubborn and light hearted. She moved back a bit to see what appeared to be a
taller and more...more handsome version of Inuyasha. He had beautifully defined
cheekbones, a tall nose, and the same hair and eye color as Inuyasha.
*Brothers?* Then she noticed a reddish spot on the side of his forehead. She
reached up to her own forehead and winced again as bolts of pain shot through
her head.
"I'm so sorry! It's just that you snuck up on me...and..um....I'm
sorry?"
He looked down at her with such arrogance that Kagome's fiery temper began to
pop out.
"Hey, I said I was sorry."
He grabbed her arm and began to drag her into the school building. She heard shouts coming from the group of boys and Sango but it was ignored as he led her up a flight of stairs and down a long corridor. He opened a door and pushed her into a...nurse's office? A woman appeared out of nowhere at the sound of the door closing and immediately began to inspect the bump on her forehead and most likely Inuyasha's brother's. She began to go tut tut and started to rummage through a refrigerator. She had two bags of ice in her hand and gave one each to her and Inuyasha's brother. Then she shooed them out of the office and shut the door.
Kagome, with a bag
of ice on her large bump, tried to appear as dignified as she could. He, on the
other hand, held his on his forehead as if it was the most natural thing in the
world. Kagome almost blushed at the stares she was receiving from other
students but tried to imagine being very angry at this person.
"All you had to do was ask me to go with you to the nurse, you didn't have
to drag me as if I'm some child."
He looked at her intensely, as if he recognized her somewhere but then turned
his gaze away. Kagome felt her eyes begin to narrow but relaxed herself in
time. There was no way she was going to start her first day at her first public
school with a fight. She gave a smile and bowed politely to him.
"Thank you for helping me, have a good day."
As she walked down the hallway he stared at her and wondered what kind of girl
she was to have such reflexes. And why did she look so much like her?
"Don't worry Sango, it's
just a little bump."
"Little? You call this little? It looks likes someone took a baseball bat
and hit you on the forehead!"
"The ice is helping. And if worse comes to worse, I can always hide it
with my bangs."
Sango gave a sigh and put her head in her arms.
"There I was, hoping you
would have a great day, and then you hit your forehead on the infamous
Sesshoumaru. And we still have Kikyo to deal with! What in heaven's name could
happen next?"
There was a loud commotion by the door and Kagome turned her head toward it.
There was a boy with long hair tied up in a ponytail making a very loud
entrance. He was laughing and talking loudly with his friends. Sango didn't
even look up and began to groan.
"I jinxed it."
"Jinxed what?"
"I thought Kouga moved."
"Kouga?"
"You hear that loud racket? There is most likely a buffoon standing by the
door making as much noise as possible laughing and talking."
"Right on target."
"That buffoon is Kouga. And once Inuyasha comes in, prepare
yourself."
Kagome was about to put out a question when an argument began to happen.
Inuyasha had just come in and was now yelling face to face with Kouga.
"You idiot! Why don't you take a seat instead of having your big head take
up the doorway!"
"I'm a free man and I can do whatever I want! I don't need some dogbreath
telling me what to do!"
And it just went on and on from there with language that Kagome only heard on
the streets. A woman, probably the teacher, was standing behind them with a
frightened look on her face.
"Shouldn't the teacher do something?"
"Mrs. Yura can never control them, does't really have a firm hand in
discipline. A really nice person and good teacher. She just can't control the
boys."
Kagome could feel impatience
stirring inside. *This is my first day in a public school, and I'm not letting
it get ruined by two idiots!* Kagome got up and stomped to the two boys. She
grabbed a handful each of their hair and pulled roughly. Both stopped arguing
and yowled at the pain in their heads. Kagome let go and at the same time they
both put their hands on their heads and said, "What the hell was that
for?!"
"Shut up, take a seat, and let the teacher teach, got it?"
They stared at her for a moment and was about to say something when Kagome put
up a hand.
"Don't make me pull again."
Muttering curses under their breaths, they reluctantly went to their seats.
Mrs. Yura gave a look of gratitude to Kagome and waved Kagome back to her seat.
Sango gave her a pat on the back.
"They are usually like this in the beginning of the year, the first day is
always the worst. Good job Kagome! I didn't know you had such a way with the
boys."
Kagome put her head in her hands,
just like Sango had been doing before, and gave a similar groan. What else
is going to happen today?!
