The Accident in Chemistry Class

Chapter 10: Ayame, a New Companion

Disclaimer: ARG! How much longer do I have to keep saying this? I do not own Inu-tachi! Oh, that's so degrating!! I want Billy Martin, though... Has a very large grin on face I luffle him so much! He rocks my socks! Sorry...just a lil' saying with me and my friends... Here's the chapter!!

A/N: And the hunt for Kei's picture still continues...as for my other pictures as well. sigh I hope I find them soon, I don't want to have to draw it all over again. Oh, aren't I evil for making Kouga do that to poor Kag? Heh, I feel so sorry for her... Kouga is just so dense. That's all there is to it. I hope I can get more reviewers, too. At least to let me know that people are reading this and they like it, hopefully.

Kagome sat staring at Ayame, who was surrounded by girls trying to comfort her about Kouga.

"Kouga's just a dumbass!" she snapped, causing a few girls to freeze in their position. The red-head girl happened to glance at Kagome and caught her eye.

'Oh God...please don't let this be happening to me! It's all Kouga's fault!' she thought and her stomach plunged downwards.

Ayame stood up, still looking in Kagome's direction.

'Oh God.'

Ayame was making her way over.

'Oh God.'

Ayame towered over Kagome.

"Oh God!" Kagome cried out in a whisper, shaking all over.

"Hi. I couldn't help but notice you staring over at me. Who are you? I'm Ayame." she introduced herself, still trying to catch Kagome's eye, who was determinedly trying to see how interesting the floor was.

Sango answered for her.

"This is Kagome, and I'm Sango. Nice to meet you, Ayame." she said politely, giving a small bow.

"The same to you." Ayame also bowed shortly.

Miroku was staring at her all the while and made to stand up, but Sango threw her fist into his lower stomach and he crouched back in his seat once more. Sango smirked at him, giving him a "Don't even try asking her to bear your child, she'll whup your ass" look.

"Um, Ayame?" Kagome managed to finally find her voice.

"Yeah?" the red-head replied, a thoughtful look on her face.

"How would you react if Kouga happened to be, well...flirting with me? Because he is, and I'm so sorry that he's cheating on you." The words spilled easily from Kagome, who was glad to find it wasn't so hard to say it. Ayame kept staring into space.

"Well, I can tell you're a good kid and you don't mean to get in a relationship with him, so I'm cool with that. I'm just gonna have to teach him a lesson or two." She blew across her knuckles and rubbed them jokingly on her shirt, flashing a playful grin at the group.

"So..." Sango started. "Don't mind my asking, but just how long have you known Kouga?"

"Oh, it goes way back." Ayame sighed, looking at the brunette (Sango).

Ayame sat with the group for the rest of the period and told them everything about Kouga. He was actually kind and considerate when he was younger. He used to bring Ayame flowers and they'd run through the tall grass, chasing each other with a friendly game of tag. Now that he had grown up, he was dumb, smart-aleck, and a total jack-a... Ah, never mind.

Kagome sighed a sigh of relief as she left the school vicinity, dragging InuYasha on the bus with her. He was strangely quiet now, which sort of disturbed Kagome.

She was sure that Ayame would be so upset with her about Kouga and everything, but she wasn't. She was actually understanding about it, which puzzled the fifteen year-old. Kagome expected Ayame to be jealous, but she wasn't.

"Hi, Mom." Kagome called to her mother as she ran up to her room.

"Hey, sis! Hey, InuYasha!!!" Souta exclaimed as he emerged from his bedroom.

Her little brother pounced on InuYasha, who was laughing and running around with the boy clinging to his shoulders. Kagome couldn't help but grin.

Releasing a deep sigh, the black-haired girl fell onto her bed, feeling the comforting softness of her sheets. They crinkled underneath her as she moved around.

Kagome was starting to fall asleep. Oh, how it felt so good to sleep after a long, hard day...

Then the phone rang.

"........Who could that be?" Kagome grumbled, reaching for her phone. "Hello?!" she growled into the receiver.

"Whoa, Kagome, you okay?" a voice asked on the other end.

"Uh, who's this?" Kagome questioned drowsily.

"Oh, right, sorry. It's Sango!" Sango chirped.

"...How'd you get my number?"

"Oh, just got it from the attendance clerk." Sango said, laughing a little. "You sound happy. What'd happen? You just wake up or something?" the older girl joked.

"As a matter of fact, yes, I did." Kagome said softly, rubbing her eyes sleepily. "Kouga can be very exhausting."

"Yes, I can tell."

"Kagome! Time for dinner!" Mrs. Higurashi called.

"Hey, Sango, I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow!"

"Okay, bye, Kagome."

InuYasha was already at the table, stuffing himself with large amounts of food.

"My, you sure do have an appetite!" Mrs. Higurashi exclaimed, smiling at the inu-hanyou.

Kagome, however, wasn't as amused as her mother. She stared in astonishment and disgust. Before she knew it, she was pushing her dish away from herself; just the sight of it made her sick. InuYasha dove for the abandoned food and gobbled it down in seconds, finishing with a loud burp.

"That's it, I'm leaving!" Kagome burst and left the table, leaving Mrs. Higurashi, InuYasha, Souta, and her jii-chan staring after her in curiosity.

Kagome fled to her room and the minute she entered the room, she jumped right back out.

"What are you doing in my room?" she asked the two girls in her room. "Who invited you in?" she added as an afterthought.

Yumi grinned peevishly and Kei stared off into space, absorbed by her thoughts.


Review Response!

Demon-Slayer13- Yay, I'm so glad you like this! I am also glad you think this is good! Yay for me and you! Actually, I read your asking about Yumi and Kei and then I remembered them, but then I forgot because I hadn't been writing for a while, so I just absently put Yumi and Kei in! I'm a bad person, aren't I?! ...I'm evil, too. grin Heh, it's so fun being evil, isn't it? But back to Yumi and Kei. Earlier in the story, Inu was mad at Kag for obvious reasons and they bump into Yumi (literally) and start talking to her, and then they 'sort of' meet Kei because she's trying to get Yumi to come and all. Yesh, poor Ayame! I feel so horrible for her about Kouga! But she's a strong chick. Err, wolf. Hey, guess what? BILLY MARTIN ROCKS!!

Story Weaver1- Yesh, poor Kagome! Kouga is such an idiot, but we can't help but luffle him, right? These loop-hole things are very confuzzling! Yay, Ayame! I wanna see an episode with her so bad!! Kouga come to his senses? I'd love to see the day! Hahaha. Glad you liked the Sango and Miroku part, too. Can't have a story without them, even if they're not the main characters in the story, which is not often like me and all... There's always some Sango and Miroku story popping up in my head and comin' around the corner every so often.
