Sango, Kagome, and Inuyasha sat in a corner in fifth period waiting for the bell to ring. "I think you should have told them." Sango said. She was about to say more but the teacher walked by again. When she left she said, "Is it just me or does the teacher trying to eavesdrop on our conversation?"
"Its not you. She keeps coming by so watch what you say!" Inuyasha barked. Kagome whimpered and Sango and Inuyasha looked at her. She had Sango's jacket wrapped around her. Her legs were trembling underneath the desk.
"I shouldn't have come, I shouldn't have come, I shouldn't have come..." She kept saying. "Everyone knows now, they know how he treats me. I'm not invisible anymore. I-I just want to go home!" She said tears streaming down her face.
Her cell phone vibrated in her pocket and she pulled it out. It was a text message from Koga. U better be at my house 10 min after school. We got 2 talk. Kagome closed her eyes and snapped the phone shut.
"Who's it from?" Sango asked.
"My mom. She needs me to pick up some milk after school." Kagome lied. Kagome noticed the teacher hovering near them. She turned to her and said, "Mrs. Anderson? Can getting a family member milk be classified as abuse?" She said sweetly. Mrs. Anderson shot her an angry glance then walked away.
"Will Sango Takashi please come the main office?" The intercom squawked. Sango jumped at hearing her name.
"Guess I'll be on my way." She said.
Two minuets later she was sitting across from the same three people Kagome had sat across. Sango looked at the three of them in the eye and had a sinking suspicion of what they wanted to talk to her about.
"Miss Takashi is Kagome Higurashi a good friend of yours?" Mr. Elberfeld asked. Sango nodded. She knew instantly where the conversation was headed. They were going to ask her if she knew anything. On the one hand Sango knew that the best thing to do for Kagome would be to tell them how Koga had been treating her, yet on the other hand Kagome trusted her not to tell anyone.
Sango's mind raced with a thousand things to say when the question was asked. Her loyalties were with Kagome. Kagome obviously didn't want the office people to know or she would have told them herself.
"Can you explain the marks and Kagome's face?" Mr. Elberfeld asked her earnestly. Sango hung her head. What should I say? What can I say? Sango asked her.
"If Kagome didn't tell you, then there is nothing I can add." Sango said quietly. "I need to get to class." She said standing up.
"Sango we are not done here. Don't you want your friend to be safe?" Sango froze and gave an icy stare .
"Of course I do." She said. Sango then turned around and walked out.
Kagome stood in front of her sixth period door reaching for the door knob, then jerking her hand back. Koga was in there. Everyone was, the bell had rung three minuets ago. Taking a deep breath Kagome grabbed the door knob and opened the door before she got second thoughts again.
The study hall monitor looked up from the book she was reading. "Kagome do you have a pass?" Kagome shook her dark head no and went to the back of the room to her seat. Koga's eyes followed her every step. "Remember no talking until I say so!" The monitor squawked.
Kagome picked up her notebook and began to jot down ideas for a new story that was swimming through her mind when Koga dropped a piece of paper on her desk. Her hands shaking Kagome picked up the note and read:
Kagome I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. Why the hell did you come to school like that? You better not tell anyone it was me. Say it was your step-dad or something.
Kagome lowered the note and stared at the back of Koga's head. She couldn't believe him! Kagome could tell him off in the note, but she just wanted things to go back to normal and for Koga to get rid of the temper that he probably developed during the day. Kagome continued writing and when the class was given permission to talk, Koga turned around to face her. Her searched her face and Kagome was slightly stunned to see that there was no anger in his eyes. Instead there was guilt and maybe a hint of sadness?
Kagome gave him a shaky smile and Koga grasped the back of her head and gave her a deep kiss. It was all Kagome could do not to gag.
When they pulled apart Kagome started to babble. "I hear Kikyou has a boyfriend." She said somewhere in the conversation.
"Oh yea who? I thought she was going out that dude...Jason was it?" Kagome shook her head.
"Nope his name was actually Justin but she broke up with him to go out with that new kid Inuyasha. It was kind of pathetic really. Sango and I were at our lunch table, and Inuyasha sits a ways down and Kikyou ran into our lunch and lunged at him."
"Don't lie Kagome, I know he sits at your lunch table." Kagome paused a little surprised.
"Well he wasn't at the table when that happened." Kagome said.
Koga nodded his head. "So now that Kikyou is going out with him does that mean we're going to see more of him?"
"I guess. Kikyou does like to do everything we do as a group even though she hates my guts. Kikyou really gets on my nerves." Koga nodded in agreement. Kogame chatted with him until the bell rang. "I have to go to my locker but I'll meet you in class okay?" She told him. Koga hugged her and gave her a small kiss then walked toward the band room.
Walking down the hall Kagome was amazed at Koga. He was nice to her again. He didn't once make her feel threatened or scare her, he even made her laugh a few times. He was being like he was when she first met him.
"Sango hey!" Kagome yelled out in greeting. Sango whipped her head around and Kagome froze when she saw that Sango had angry tears in her eyes.
"Kagome we had a chance to get rid of Koga and you didn't do a damn thing! Why Kagome?" Sango said in a harsh whisper. Her eyes glowed with anger and tears magnified what her eyes were expressing.
"Sango, I don't want to involve any adults. Its not their problem its mine!" Kagome said flinging books in her locker and grabbing her coat.
"It became their problem as soon as he hit you!" She said harshly. Kagome sucked in some air and looked at her best friend.
"Please Sango we'll talk about this later alright?" Sango nodded her head and together they walked to the band room.
Inuyasha had his arm around Kikyou and was walking her to their class. Kikyou was a popular girl and now that he was dating her, everyone seemed to know who he was. Every time Inuyasha was around her, he had to think of the first friend he made in this school, in order to touch Kikyou fondly. Kikyou was the kind of girl that lived in his old home town. The kind of girl he avoided.
They were just passing the stairwell when Kikyou grabbed his shirt and flung him against the side of the stairwell. She pushed her plump lips in Inuyasha's face and stated to kiss him. Fighting the urge to shove her aside, Inuyasha wrapped his arms lightly around Kikyou's waist and kissed her back. After a few seconds Inuyasha broke the kiss, grabbed her waist and started to lead her back to the classroom. The bell rang just as they walked through the door.
Inuyasha looked for Sango and Miroku and when he found them he wished he hadn't. Kagome was sitting next to Sango with Koga on her other side. Koga had his hand on Kagome's thigh and was kissing her so hard it looked like he was trying to eat her face.
Disgusted Inuyasha sat on the other side of Miroku. "Why you so late?" he asked while the teacher was taking attendance. Kikyou leaned over Inuyasha's lap, making sure that her cleavage was showing and spoke in a low husky whisper to Miroku.
"We would have been on time, buy Inuyasha can't seem to keep his hands off me. Its actually rather cute." Miroku gave her a dead pan look and to Kikyou's disappointment he refused to look down her shirt. Inuyasha was to stunned to say anything.
Sango stared straight ahead. On one side of her there was Kagome who's back was turned toward her and weird little noises coming from her. If she looked over now she would see something move under her shirt, which was more than likely Koga's disgusting hand. On the other side of her was Kikyou's big boobs over Miroku's lap as she talked about what Inuyasha had done to her in the hall. It was safer to just look straight ahead.
Sango saw Inuyasha lean his chair back and Sango did the same. Inuyasha caught her eyes, rolled his own and made signs of killing himself. Sango giggled and it seemed to break the spell on Kikyou.
"What are you laughing at?" She snapped Don't even get me started bitch. Sango thought. She shook her head at Kikyou and grabbed her flute. She was twisting the different parts when she heard the teacher, Mr. Oliver, clear his throat. Everyone turned to look at Kagome and Koga. Kagome yanked herself away and turned the deepest shade of red Sango had ever seen.
"I would sign both of you up for detention, but I think you would enjoy that to much." Mr. Oliver said dryly. That got a few laughs from the students and Mr. Oliver told the students who hadn't gotten their instrument yet to please do so. Sango watched as Kagome grabbed her violin, Koga his saxaphone, Inuyasha walked to where his drums were set up, Kikyou grabbed her piccolo and sat over next to Inuyasha, and Miroku grabbed his french horn.
Class began and Sango brought her flute to her lips and blew a delicate note. After that first note, an explosion wouldn't be able to tear her away from the music. She played with her whole heart.
Kagome played the music that was in front on her. It was a happy tune, but somehow she managed to make the song sound sad. Whenever she and Sango tired to play together their music always clashed. Sango's happy and free music never sounded right with Kagome's mourning violin. Before Kagome started to date Koga, Sango and herself played wonderfully together. Now it was awful.
Kagome thought back to just a few minuets ago when Koga insisted on making out with her. God she was so embarrassed. She tried to pull away a few times, but he would just grab the back of her head and push her closer. His breath had reeked of cigarettes and stale beer.
She glanced at Inuyasha who immediately looked into her eyes. He gave her a disgusted look before looking away. Kagome felt a pang in her chest. That look hurt more than any choice of words Inuyasha could have said to her.
Kagome closed her eyes and made a long mournful note on her violin that would have brought the happiest man in the world to tears.
