The Accident in Chemistry Class
Chapter 7: Re-acquainted and A Nightly Stroll
Disclaimer: I do not own anything InuYasha, which is all owned and created by Rumiko Takahashi.
A/N: PLEASE DON'T HURT ME! I know, I know...it's been FOREVER! since I updated...I apologize. I mean, it's almost Christmas and all, so it's really hectic for me.
Kagome stared at her mother who lay unconsciously on the floor. Mrs. Higurashi had just seen InuYasha and had gotten quite a nasty shock. The inu-hanyou scrunched his nose up; he found it (surprisingly for his standards) very rude that someone had fainted at the sight of him. Although...it did make him feel proud to know that someone feared him, and would respect him.
Kagome's mother stirred.
"Mom?" Kagome sighed. "This is InuYasha, but I think you already know that..." she trailed away as her mother's eyes darted to InuYasha's. "See...when I left the hospital, I sorta went into the well and I was, erm, uh...transported to the Feudal Era. Back in time..." The words sounded rather stupid as they rolled off her tongue and she felt like an idiot for even mentioning it. But better to get it over with. Mrs. Higurashi would have had to learn sometime soon, anyhow.
It was night-time now as Kagome lay in her bed.
InuYasha was sleepin in Souta's room tonight.
Souta was at a friend's house. A birthday-slumber party...
Kagome blinked into the moon and felt her cat ears forming atop her head. She gingerly touched them and they twitched under her touch. Kagome groaned. Sure, it was kind of cool to have cat ears and dog ears, but...it wasn't normal! Nothing these past days had been normal! That InuYasha-person didn't look normal! How many people travel back in time through wells?!
She could see around her, now that she had cat eyes. Her tail twitched in anticipation... Wait, she has a tail?! Kagome leapt from her bed, amazed to find that she had risen several feet off the floor and could almost touch her ceiling! She opened her window and crept out into the night.
The night air felt cool and rather pleasant. The wind whipped through the cat-girl's hair as she soared through the air, hopping from roof to roof of the houses in Tokyo. Kagome never felt more alive. The school came into full-view, and she passed it without notice. A house she passed by had a tiny light on, and, curious as she was, Kagome dove downwards and perched outside the lit window.
She could see a shady figure sitting on a bed with a tiny lamp turned on and Kagome stared harder.
It was Hojo!
Kagome blushed as she realized he was only in his boxers. But she didn't like him that much anyway.
What was Hojo looking at, though? Kagome wondered to herself.
He held what looked like a picture frame and tossed it on the bed.
Kagome groaned.
Just a stupid picture of her he took with his Polaroid camera. Sheesh, can't this guy get a life?! The moon sunk lower into the sky when Kagome panicked. Almost day-break and here she was outside!
Kagome snuck into bed and sighed deeply under the warmth of her quilt... She began to drift off to sleep...
BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING.
"Damn, I almost got to sleep!" Kagome muttered and slammed the clock down on the table, shutting it off. She pulled the covers over her head, which were yanked back off. Kagome screamed as she touched noses with InuYasha, who was glaring down at her. "InuYasha! SIT!"
"Oof!" InuYasha's face pressed into her mattress and she bounced up, hitting her head on the ceiling, then fell back down, thanks to GRAVITY!
"Now. If you don't mind, I have to get ready for school." She pulled on her uniform and marched out of her room. InuYasha made an obscene gesture to her back.
InuYasha mocked her as soon as she was out of ear-shot.
"Feh, who cares if she goes to school or not?"
Kagome walked into the school building's cafeteria, saw her friends, and rushed over. She then bumped into someone, knocking them to the floor.
The girl she knocked over gasped. She had water splattered all over her white blouse. Kagome froze and apologized hurriedly, "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so sorry!" she said breathlessly, helping the girl up.
"It's okay, wasn't your fault." Kagome grinned sheepishly. "I'm Sango. You?"
"Kagome?"
"Kagome? Hey, that Inu guy told me about you!" Kagome frowned, saying, "What did he tell you about me?" She had a sinking feeling in her gut. InuYasha would say anything to make her look bad.
"Mmm, nothing bad. Although..." she glanced around and then winked. "I think he likes you. But he sure does hide it well!" Sango grinned and nudged Kagome, who blushed uncontrollably. "AAAHH! YOU STUPID PERVERT!" The older girl suddenly shrieked, chasing away a fleeing boy with dark black hair.
So...InuYasha likes Kagome, eh? What would she say about that?
