Only
First Period
"Pssss. Hey, girl!"
Kagome turned from her seat to look at the annoyingly cute boy called Inuyasha
behind her.
"What do you want?"
"What the hell do you think you were doing up there?"
"Just trying to have a good day."
Kagome began to turn her head when she heard a word whispered behind her.
"Wench."
She could feel anger boiling inside but took a long and deep breath. *I'll get
him after school, where his friends won't help* But then she smacked her
forehead lightly. Baka, you're supposed to be a good girl here...but that
jerk! Calling me a wench! He has no right to-GAH, I'm supposed to be good. I'm
a good girl here, a good, proper, and nice girl*She repeated that over and
over like a mantra, but before her mind could argue with itself even more the
teacher began to call off names. Kagome tapped Sango's shoulder.
"Hey, what are we doing right now?"
"A history project on the war era five hundred years ago, we'll be working
with partners.
Cross your fingers and hope you get a good partner, better yet, me!"
Kagome did as Sango said and crossed her fingers but her spirits fell when she
heard her name.....and Kouga's. Kouga look at her and rolled his eyes.
"God, I get paired up with her?"
His voiced dripped with disdain when he said her and all his friends began to
laugh loudly. Kagome began to pop her knuckles but stopped, saying her little
mantra inside her head again. *I'm a nice and friendly girl here, I'm a nice
and friendly girl here*
"Ok, you may start research right now, ask me for a pass to go to the
library. And this project will be due one week from today. It must be an oral
and both partners should split up the work."
The classroom became loud with the bustling of students moving to their
partners and the complaints of being paired up badly. Kagome reluctantly walked
to where Kouga was sitting. She was trying to get his attention but he ignored
her and just talk noisily with his two friends. After 30 seconds, Kagome lost
her patience and walked up to the teacher.
"May we have a pass to the library?"
"Oh sure, your names?"
"Kagome and Kouga."
The teacher handed her a slip and started to answer another student's question.
Kagome stomped to Kouga and grabbed a hunk of his hair. She started to drag him
out of the door and down the hall. Several students poked their heads out of
the door, watching Kouga kicking and yelling in pain. But Kagome ignored them
all and proceeded to drag Kouga for several more feet till she was stopped by
Sesshoumaru. He looked down at her with the same amused smile as before.
"His shrieks are disturbing the classes."
Kagome dropped Kouga's hair in embarrassment, wondering why she felt humiliated
by one person. Sesshoumaru walked back inside a classroom and Kouga stood up,
rubbing his head.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"
"You weren't listening and this was the only way to get your
attention."
"WHY YOU LITTLE-"
Kouga was immediately silenced by her hand grabbing his throat.
"You want to be quiet? There are other classes studying around here and
your voice is beginning to annoy me. And gentlemen should never insult a
lady."
Kouga tried to answer back but was being slowly choked by Kagome's surprisingly
strong grip. He began to nod his head and Kagome let go. She gave a sigh and
started walking to the library, Kouga obediently following behind.
"Why do you people always have to ruin my day?"
"What are you talking about?" his voice sounding rough from Kagome's
chokehold.
"I just wanted my first day at a public school to be good, and then all
you guys had to ruin it. And it's not even second period!"
Kagome opened the door and held it open for Kouga. The library was very large
and extremely quiet.
"You started it first." he whispered.
"Did not, you're the one who was arguing in front of the room." she
whispered back.
They started to look through the index for books on the war era.
"It was that stupid dogface that started, so go and choke him."
"What do you guys have against each other anyway?"
"He's just an arrogant, conceited, stupid-"
"Give me a break, I know another person who is the exact same, and he is
standing right beside me."
"Kora!"
"Ssshhh!"
"You have no right to say that when you don't even know me." he
whispered furiously.
"You had no right to be rude to me when you were at fault." she
whispered right back. They stared at each other for a minute, a battle of
wills. Finally, Kouga backed down and started to look through the index cards
again.
"Fine, let's start over. I can't get an A on this project if my own
partner is pissed off at me." He said.
"I'm surprised you even aspire to get an A" He gave a glare and Kagome
rolled her eyes. " Alright alright, I apologize for pulling your hair."
"Twice." he remarked.
"For pulling your hair twice."
"And I apologize for being rude, happy?"
"Content, now shall we work?"
"Fine."
"So what should we do?"
"Weapons."
"Hmm, not a bad idea, it is interesting."
"You're not gonna argue or anything?"
"What for? Weapons are a good topic."
"I just thought you'd want clothes or something."
Kagome rolled her eyes again.
"Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I'm like them."
Kagome pointed her head towards two giggling girls that had just come in.
"Those kind of girls drive me up the wall." Kagome continued.
"Then you're not gonna like her." Kouga said, pointing at another
girl who had just floated in. It was Kikyo and she looked around the library
with contempt. The boy from the races last night was with her and was carrying
a huge sparkly purse.
"Put my purse over at that table, and start researching for our
project."
He meekly obeyed and set her purse down.
"You little idiot! Put it down gently! That is a Gucci purse!"
"I'm sorry I'm sorry."
Kagome could feel anger boiling again at such cruel treatment. Kikyo noticed
her glare and started to glare back.
"You have a problem with me?"
"Leave the little kid alone."
"Oy! Who said I'm a kid?!" the kid screeched.
"Forget it, he's my ticket to an easy A."
"Why don't you try doing your own research for once? Oh wait, it probably
requires brain cells, right? I'm sooo sorry for asking such a tremendous thing
to do, thinking is tough for such...admirable girls like yourself." Kagome
said pleasantly.
Kikyo grew red in the face and was about to insult her back when the librarian
walked over.
"You four better be quiet or I'll kick you out, there are students trying
to read in here!"
Kouga put his hands up.
"Hey, I wasn't saying anything."
"You four get out right now and I don't want to see you here all
day!"
The librarian shooed them out of the library and slammed the door behind her.
Kikyo walked back to her classroom without another word. The little boy stayed
behind.
"Hey, I'm not a little kid! I'm 18 years old."
Kagome gave a grin at such familiar words.
"Liar."
"Fine fine fine, 14. But I'm not a kid! I'm a teenager."
He said teenager with so much pride that his chest was puffing out several
inches. Kouga was starting to laugh but Kagome elbowed him in the chest to stop
him.
"That's right, you are a teenager."
Kagome's heart went out to the little boy and could feel a motherly
protectiveness.
"Ok, I have to get back to class."
The boy scampered off after Kikyo and Kagome and Kouga started to walk back to
class.
"Who is that little kid?"
"One of the geniuses in our school, Shippo."
"Shippo? Odd name. But he is so kawaii!!"
"Yeah, whatever."
"Anyways, since we are kicked out of the library, should we use the
internet?"
"The period is almost over though."
"Hmm, well, I want to start the research at least. Can we meet after
school?"
"Yeah, where?"
"Does this school have a computer room?"
"Sure, we'll meet there."
The bell rang just as he finished and the two quickly ran to the classroom.
What Kagome had forgotten was directions to the computer room, but she could
find those later. And if she was that desperate, she could always ask around.
It was only first period, and she still had seven more periods to go through.
The hope of going through a school day without fights was slowly starting to
dwindle.
*Kora is the same as hey! in english. and kawaii means cute. and one more
thing, REVIEW!!!!!!
