Gender Confusion

Chapter IV: Nobara vs Koga

by Painted Emotions

Author's Note: In case anyone is wondering, Nobara in Japanese means wild rose. Nobara is, of course, a nickname. Inuyasha's female name is Bara, meaning rose.

To : WhisperingMoonDreams: Hehe, yeah, I should have made that scene a little funnier.. I mean, what guy in his right mind would cut a girl's hair like that? I may make it come up in future chapters...

To: FluffyRachel: Thanks for your review. I'm glad you like it.

To: animesweetness1717: I promise, I'm updating as often as I can. I have alot going on right now...

Anyway, thanks everyone. On with the chapter.


The bell rung and Kagome, along with the rest followed the traces of Inuyasha, erm, Nobara, into the building.

They walked through the buzzing hallways of the university. Evidently, Nobara made her presence known.

"I said no!" a shout was heard above the rest. The small group directed their attention towards the English classroom. There stood Nobara, with Koga hovering over him, er, her.

"C'mon, you know you want to." Koga said smiling slyly at Nobara.

"She said no." Kagome said in her most masculine voice.

Koga turned around to come face to face with a tall, slender boy, with dark black hair and brown eyes. He wore simple baggy jeans and a tee. "Who the hell are you?" he asked.

"What does it matter?"

"Well I'd like to know who I'm about ready to beat the hell out of."

"In your dreams, wuss." Vain said as he took Koga's arm and spun around so Koga was in front of him, then slammed Koga to the hard floor.

"Don't mess with Nobara again."Vain said as he walked with Nobara at his side, into their first class.


English/Lit. Class .

Inu..Nobara was starting to drift off. Vain, who sat behind her, poked her in the back, causing her to glare back at him.

Vain only smiled and continued taking notes.

Miroku kept glancing over as often as possible, still somewhat shocked about the two's appearance. He also received a glare.


After what seemed as an eternity, class was dismissed and the group headed out. Nobara yawned groggily as she walked beside Vain and Sango. Miroku was forced to lead due to his wondering hands...

"So..what exactly happened with Koga earlier?" Vain asked as he went into Kagome's locker, neatly getting and replacing books.

"Feh...Nothin.."

"Sure didn't seem like nothing." Sango mumbled.

"Well, from the looks of it, Koga was trying to find entertainment for the evening." Miroku teased, receiving a menacing glare.

"Well, you'll have to be more careful I-Nobara." Vain giggled.

"What was that?"

"What was what?" Vain replied.

"You giggled." Nobara pointed.

"So?"

"Guys DON'T giggle..."

shrug

Nobara rolled her eyes and they continued on towards their second class.


After their class, the group headed towards the cafeteria.

They sat down at a table near the side doors, so they could look out.

"So..what's the plans for tonight?" Miroku asked.

Sango looked at Kagome, then shrugged.

"The mall?"

"Hell no! I'm not going to the mall dressed like this!" Nobara nearly screamed.

"Calm down! You can either agree to the mall, or we'll drag you to Club Sonic."

"The mall it is..." Nobara slumped back down into her seat.Vain noticed some guys across from them gawking. He glanced around, then realized what exactly had their attention in place- He leaned into Nobara and whispered, "INUYASHA! Close your legs! You've got people staring!"

Sango tried to hold back a snicker- she just couldn't help it.

"So...giggle how long does this last for?"

Inuyasha just slumped further down. "Don't remind me..."
