Sorry I haven't updated in a few days. I've been busy writing another
story. It's a real book, not a fanfic. It's also about vampires. (aren't we
surprised!)But I promise I won't forget about this one!! Thank you all SO
much for the reviews. All except for Kacey, whose cuteness meter is not
just broken, but mangled beyond recognition. I love you all!!
Chapter 4
Kagome and Inuyasha burst into their first period, history, five minutes late.
"Hey look, the freak show arrived!" It was Robert again.
Kagome whirled around, but her smart comeback died on her lips when Mr. Glens intervened.
"Kagome! Inuyasha! Why were you late?"
"We-"Kagome started, but Inuyasha interrupted.
"We were in the office, finalizing my transfer papers. Mr. Meihm wanted me to tell you to excuse us, because he was out of hall passes." Inuyasha said smoothly. Kagome was staring at him in numb shock. She had never seen anyone lie so smoothly before. For a moment, she thought Mr. Glens wasn't going to believe them.
"You two may take your seats now." Mr Glens said after the briefest of hesitations. Kagome took her seat and Inuyasha was assigned a seat in the second row, one row in front and two desks to the right of Kagome.
Mr. Glens wrote their assignment on the board and took a seat at his desk. Kagome opened her textbook and pretended to work while she secretly wrote a note to Sango.
The bell rang and Kagome's head snapped up from where she had been dozing on her textbook. She quickly folded the note she had been writing into a paper triangle and shoved it into the pocket of her black jeans. She quickly packed up and met Inuyasha at the doorway.
"That was amazing!" Kagome exclaimed.
"What," Inuyasha asked. "Do you really like history?"
"No, actually, I hate history. I was talking about the way you lied to Mr. Glens. You could be a con-artist!"
Inuyasha shrugged. "He just doesn't know me. Everyone believes the new kid."
"Still," Kagome persisted, "I've never been a good liar."
Inuyasha shrugged again. "People believe what you tell them. Believe what you're saying, and they will believe you. Now where's the nearest bathroom?"
"Over there." Kagome pointed to the end of the hall. "But class starts soon, and we can't be late again. I really don't feel like detention today."
"I'll just be a sec. I've gotta fix my makeup." Inuyasha headed towards the bathroom. Kagome just shook her head. (a/n: don't worry, Inuyasha's straight. I swear!!)
Kagome leaned up against a locker and sighed. Boys, she thought. She glanced up at the clock on the wall. We're gonna be late. Again. Just then Inuyasha walked up. The hallway crowd was already starting to thin.
"Let's get a move on, or we'll be late." Kagome sighed. She despised algebra. She shifted her bag to the other shoulder and started off to math with Inuyasha.
An hour later, Kagome was sitting in algebra, tapping her pencil on the desk in time to her cd player. She was sitting in the far back corner with her headphones covered by her hair.
Suddenly, Kagome felt nauseous and black spots danced in the corners of her vision. She immediately turned off her cd player and shoved it into her desk. She knew what was coming and raised her hand.
"Ms. Kramer?" Kagome struggled to keep her voice steady. The stout, blond teacher turned from where she had been demonstrating a quadratic equation on the chalkboard.
"Yes, Kagome. Do you have a question?"
"May I go to the bathroom?"
The teacher sighed. "Yes, I suppose so, but please hurry back. You'll be missing a very important lesson."
Kagome could only nod as she stood up and walked out of the classroom. As soon as she shut the door behind her, it came. A wave of excruciating pain in her stomach. She closed her eyes and leaned against the wall, waiting for it to pass.
Once it did, she practically ran down the hall to the bathroom. After a quick look around proved she was alone, Kagome pulled her pocketknife out of her bag. She rolled up her sleeve and dragged the knife across her skin. Making two clean cuts in the form of a cross. She carefully licked the blood off her knife, savoring the coppery taste. Then she drank from the cut, and the pain in her stomach slowly lessened. She was almost done when a voice from behind her said:
"You really shouldn't do that y'know. Drinking your own blood is addictive."
Kagome whirled to face the voice, knocking her knife off the sink when she did so. It landed on the tile with a clatter that echoed on the large bathroom.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried out in surprise. "You can't be in here, this is the girl's room!"
"Aw, screw it." Inuyasha said. His pale arms were crossed over his muscular chest and his black lips were drawn in a straight line. His expression was unreadable behind his dark sunglasses. "I could smell your blood from the classroom. I knew from the moment I met you that you drank your own blood. But I didn't want to confront you about it. I needed to catch you in the act."
"What's so terrible about it?" Kagome snapped, thoroughly annoyed by Inuyasha.
"It's very addicting. The pains you felt a little while ago, those are cravings. Kind of like when you're on drugs. And just like drugs, it's harmful. You're slowly killing yourself, one drop of blood at a time."
"So?!" Kagome glared at Inuyasha. "Mabye my life's not worth living."
"That's a choice that's yours to make, but remember, you don't know what you've got until it's gone. Trust me, I know." Inuyasha walked over to her and gestured towards her wrist. "May I?"
Kagome nodded and held out her wrist. She already knew. She'd suspected, but when his reflection didn't show up in the bathroom mirror, her suspicions were confirmed. Inuyasha was a vampire.
He lifted her wrist to his mouth and bit down. Kagome gasped at the sharp pain, but it only lasted for a second before her whole arm went numb. Then the images came. Images of Inuyasha's life. His life before he became a vampire.
I know this chapter isn't very long, and I'M SORRY!!! But you'll just have to deal. Oh, If you want me to start answering reviews at the top of the page, tell me. I haven't been, but if you want me to, I will. That's all. Except, PLEASE REVIEW!! And I'll love you forever!!
