On The Other Side

Chapter 4 - Back To The Damned School

The annoying noise of the alarm went off. Kagome quickly turned it off and sat up in her bed, yawning a bit. She rubbed her eyes and looked around her room. She stood and walked to her closet, getting her uniform and putting it on. She ran down the stairs and went into the kitchen. "Hey Mom!" Her mother smiled warmly. "Goodmorning Kagome." Kagome just smiled as her mother set a plate of toast infront of her. "Thanks..." Kagome ate it and got her backpack. "Bye Mom! See you after school." Her mother smiled. "Bye." Kagome ran out the front door and to her bus stop. She saw Sango, Miroku and InuYasha all in a small group. She ran over to Sango. "Hey... my brother is staying over at your house right?" Sango nodded in silence. "Well... my mom wanted me to come with?" Sango smiled. "Sure..." Kagome nodded. "Alright, thanks." "It's not a problem." Kagome looked to InuYasha and blushed, remembering last night. He looked to her. "What?" Kagome looked away. "N-Nothing..." InuYasha shrugged and looked away. Kagome admired his looks in silence. She felt a small tap on her shoulder as she turned around. The red haired woman smiled innocently. "Hey Ayame." "Hi... wanna sit with me again today?" Kagome nodded. "Sure..." Ayame smiled. "Alright then..."

The bus finally pulled up, Kagome and Ayame got a seat and sat beside each other. Ayame smiled to her. "We have... two classes together... and of course lunch." Kagome returned her smile. "Ayame... can I sit next to you at lunch tomorrow? Cause I kinda wanted to sit beside some of my other friends..." Ayame nodded. "Sure." Kagome smiled. "Thank you..." Ayame nodded. The bus finally stopped and they both got out and walked to their lockers. Kagome opened it and started to unpack her backpack. Kagome felt a tap on her shoulder, she took InuYasha's binder and held it over her shoulder as she spoke to Ayame. "Uhh... thanks Kagz..." Kagome smiled at the silver haired hanyou behind her. "Your welcome." She got her stuff and walked to Math with Ayame. They sat down in the same spot as yesterday and waited for this period to end.

Once the bell rang, Kagome quickly got up and left, walking to her 2nd period, Science. She sat down beside InuYasha and smiled. "Don't fall asleep again today." He scoffed. "I won't." She smiled and giggled a bit. After a while, the teacher left the room to get copies for her students. InuYasha smirked and stood, walking over to the teacher's desk, he sat down. Kagome watched in silence. 'Idiot... if he gets in trouble... she won't let him off easy...' InuYasha scavenged through the teacher's stuff as the rest of the class room watched in horror. "She has nothing worth stealing in here anyways..." He quickly changed his mind, once seeing two 50 dollar bills. He smirked and quickly put them in his pocket. He fixed everything how it looked before he touched it and sat down in his seat as the teacher walked in. Of course InuYasha never got caught. The bell rang a while later as Kagome and InuYasha walked out of the class room beside each other.

Kagome quickly walked to Social Studies and sat beside Kouga. She smiled softly to him. "Hello Kouga. How have you been?" He smiled. "Kagome..." She tilted her head, not getting a responce from her question. "Yes?" He gave her a very small soft smile. "Kagome... I really like you..." They both blushed a bit, but smiled at each other. "Kouga... I don't think..." She quickly changed what she was going to say, not wanting to hurt him in any possible way. "Well... what about Ayame?" Kouga tilted his head. "Ayame? She's ok I guess... a little buggy... but I like you alot more than her." Kagome blushed a bit more. "But Kouga..." The bell suddenly rang as the teacher came infront of the class. Kagome sighed a sigh of relief and turned around, now listening to the teacher speak. 'Phew! Saved by the bell.' She sighed and waited for the class to end.

After a while of waiting and listening to the teacher speak, the bell finally rang. Kagome quickly got up and left, walking to her 4th period, English. She walked in and waved to Ayame, which was as always, sitting beside Kagura. Kagome sat beside InuYasha and smiled. "Hey Kagz." "Hi... umm... did we have homework in Science?" InuYasha shook his head. "Nah.. don't think so." Kagome nodded. "Alright... you really need to learn to behave yourself in that class ya know?" He scoffed a bit. "Feh, it's only cause that teacher's a be-ach." Kagome shrugged and looked to the front of the classroom, hearing the teacher speak of nouns, pro-nouns, ect. Kagome sighed as she waited for this period to end.

It finally came to an end as she stood and sighed. 'I have Health with Kouga next... great.' InuYasha tilted his head, making his silver hair fall off his built shoulders. Kagome looked to him and quickly went into a daze. "Kagz? 'Somethin' wrong?" Kagome heard his voice, but was too busy staring to get what he was saying and kept silent. InuYasha waved a hand infront of her face. "Helloo? Kaz?" Kagome snapped back into reality and smiled. "Huh? What did you say?" InuYasha gave her a smug smirk. "I was just asking you if something was wrong?" Kagome shook her head. "No nothing..." InuYasha shrugged. "Well see you next period, Kagz!" He walked out of the class, her following behind him. She walked beside Sango, Miroku and Inu infront of them.

They got their food and sat at a small table near the exit. Kagome next to Sango. Sango next to Miroku and Miroku next to Inu. Kagome smiled to InuYasha, which was sitting right beside her. InuYasha looked up to her. Miroku slammed his hand on the table, quickly getting everyones attention. InuYasha looked to him. "What?" Miroku smirked. "I sense some chemistry from you two." Kagome quickly blushed as Sango smirked. "Ya know what... come to think of it, I do too, Miroku." InuYasha stood and looked Miroku in the eyes. "No..." After saying his rather calm remark, he sat back down, his eyes not leaving the man in purple infront of him. Miroku quirked an eyebrow and scoffed. "Suuuuuure." Sango giggled and sat back down beside Kagome. Miroku sat down, crossing his arms. Kagome avoided eye contact with anyone, as everyone ate in silence, besides the common whispering from Sango and Miroku.

They walked out of the lunch room, Kagome walking besides Sango. "Sango... what time should I come over with Souta?" Sango smiled. "Umm... how about 7?" Kagome nodded a bit. "Sure... we'll be there." Sango gave her a small thumbs up and walked quickly next to Miroku. Miroku wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her a bit closer. InuYasha and Kagome watched from behind. Sango blushed and gently tried to push him away. "Umm... Houshi-sama? W-what are you doing?" Miroku smirked as he gave her a soft look in the eyes, his hand lowering. Sango looked oblivious to Miroku's hand and looked almost in a daze in his eyes. InuYasha and Kagome watched in silence as Miroku's hand ruined their momment. Sango quickly smacked him and walked away angerly.

Kagome and InuYasha walked to their locker and got their things. They parted, going to their seperate classes. Kagome walked into her Health class and sat down beside Kouga. He smiled warmly to her. "Hi Kagome..." She smiled. "Hello Kouga." Once the teacher started speaking, they both looked up to him in silence. Afterward, no homework again. Kagome walked out, Kouga beside her. They both walked into Art, 6th period. Kagome sat down in her original spot, inbetween Kouga and InuYasha. The teacher asked for their homework and Kagome handed in her drawing along with Sango and Miroku. Kagome looked to InuYasha. "Didn't get it done?" InuYasha shook his head. "Nope." Kagome shrugged and turned back to the teacher.

Afterwards, Kagome walked with InuYasha to P.E. Kagome quickly got changed and walked to the P.E. room. She sat down on the floor, beside all the other women. The whole group went outside to run the track. Kagome sighed, always hating the track. She began running, looking at InuYasha already half way around. She smiled as she felt a tap on her shoulder. Kagome looked over, seeing a woman. Kagome smiled. "Hello..." "Your new, right?" Kagome nodded. "My name is Tsubaki... and yours is?" Kagome looked infront of herself, the last thing she wanted was to trip. "My name is Kagome." They ran the whole track together, 'Finally a girl I know in the locker room... I wonder if she's in any of my other classes...' They stopped once at the end, then the class played capture the football, which Kagome barely participated in, since InuYasha was on her team.

Afterwards Kagome quickly got dressed, seeing Tsubaki's locker beside hers. 'She moved? Just to be by me?' Kagome shrugged it off and walked out of the girls locker room, seeing InuYasha against a pole, his hair dripping wet, his amber eyes looked to her. She almost melted into a daydream. "H-H-Hi InuYasha..." He smiled, which made it ten times worse. "Hey Kagz, come on we're gonna miss the bus." Kagome nodded. "Yeah... right.." They walked, side by side to the bus. They got a seat beside each other, infront of Sango and Miroku as always. Kagome closed her eyes, it was a long day, at least it felt like it. She leaned on InuYasha's shoulder, relaxing a bit. He looked down at her. "Uhh... K-Kagz?" She looked up to him, quickly getting off of him once noticing the position. "Sorry..." Miroku popped his head inbetween the two. "Yet again.. I sense some chemistry going on here." Kagome blushed and looked towards the front of the bus. InuYasha looked towards Miroku. "Shut up!" InuYasha shoved Miroku back in his seat and sat forward, mumbling.

The bus finally stopped and Kagome, InuYasha, Sango, and Miroku all got off. They began walking towards Kagome's shrine, to drop her off. InuYasha got infront of everyone, walking backwards. "Guess what?" Sango tilted her head, Kagome did nothing. "What?" Miroku asked, acting as if there was nothing interesting. InuYasha scoffed and pulled the two 50's out of his pocket. "I stole some cash from that bitch teacher in science." Miroku laughed. "No way! She never let's anyone near her desk." InuYasha laughed. "She went out of the class room." Sango sighed and smacked InuYasha upside the head. "If she ever finds out it was you..." InuYasha inturupted her and tripped her for the smack. "Yeah yeah." Sango almost fell but caught herself, she growled. "InuYasha!" InuYasha just smirked. Kagome looked to InuYasha. "So... what are you going to do with that money anyways?" InuYasha quirked an eyebrow. "Go out with you three." Kagome nodded. "Ohhh... that'll work, since I'm staying over at Sango's tonight." InuYasha scoffed and looked at Sango. "And you didn't invite me and Miroku?" Sango shrugged. "Well... I mean... you can come if you want." Kagome nodded. "Alright let me drop off my stuff and tell Souta I'm going to your house now." Sango nodded and sat down on the cement, as Kagome ran for her house.

After about 5 minutes, Kagome ran back out, holding Souta's hand and dragging him along. Kagome smiled to Sango. "Alright let's go!" Sango nodded. "Yeah..." She got up, with Miroku's help and started walking again, now towards InuYasha's house. "Great... now I haveta go into hell..." Miroku chuckled at InuYasha's words. InuYasha ran in. A few yells were heard from InuYasha to Sesshoumaru. But InuYasha came out safe and sound. InuYasha ran up to the group. "My mom said ok... so... I guess I'm spending the night... I do not wanna go back to that damned house." Sango nodded. "Alright..." Miroku ran into his peaceful house, considering he lived alone. Miroku came back out. The group walked to Sango's house, seeing Kohaku on the steps, his backpack beside him.

Sango ran up to him. "Sorry, Kohaku! I didn't mean for it to take that long." Kohaku smiled. "It's ok..." Once seeing Miroku he waved. "HI MIROKU!" He then saw Souta and smirked. "Hey!" Souta ran up to him. "Where's Shippo and Rin?" Kohaku shrugged. "They'll come, don't worry." InuYasha groaned, hearing Rin's name. "That little brat's comeing?" Kohaku and Souta nodded. InuYasha groaned again. "Damn key, work!" Sango kept trying to unlock it, but failed. "Here..." Kohaku unlocked it without a problem. Sango sighed and opened the door, as everyone walked in. Sango layed on the couch. Kagome looked around. "Nice place..." Sango nodded. "Yeah... it sure does cost alot though..." InuYasha looked at her in pure amazment. "You mean... you pay for this? Alone?" Sango nodded. "Well yeah... Koke is too young to get a job." Kohaku smiled at his nickname and ran to his room. Souta followed in silence. "Come to me or Kagome if you guys need anything." Sango smiled and yelled to all the guys. The little ones responded with a "Ok!" but InuYasha and Miroku said nothing. Kagome smiled and looked to InuYasha. "So... where and when are we going?" InuYasha shrugged. "Most likely just a road trip... maybe make my older brother buy some beer er something." Kagome sighed. "How interesting..." Kagome sat down with Sango. "Soo... when are we going?" InuYasha scoffed. "Most likely around 7 or 8." Kagome nodded. "Oh... ok..."

Sango entered the conversation. "What about my brother and his friends? What will we do with them?" InuYasha stared at her, wondering why she asked him. Kagome jumped in. "My brother Souta will be here! He's always trustfull! We could just leave them here." Sango quirked an eyebrow. "Alright... I guess..." The three looked to their forth friend, which was leaning against Sango's counter, drinking some water. Miroku looked around at the eyes. "What?" Sango titled her head a bit. "Why are you so quiet, Miroku?" He smiled a bit and shrugged, taking another gulp of his drink. Kagome stared at him, remembering his vicious side, in vampire form. He scared her horribly, he was the worst one to her. Miroku looked to Kagome. "Is something wrong, Kagome?" Kagome shook her head a bit. "N-No..." Kagome turned, it scared her just to look at the creep. Kagome looked to the hanyou next to her and smiled. InuYasha looked to Sango. "So... uhh... what should we do to pass the time?" Sango looked up, feeling InuYasha's eye contact towards her. "Umm... not sure..." Kagome walked over towards the couch and sat down next to Sango. InuYasha leaned against the counter next to Miroku.

The time pasted slowly, InuYasha falling asleep on the counter as Miroku and the two woman sat on the couch a bit scrunched, Kohaku's friends already arived and were in his bedrooom. Miroku looked to the sleeping hanyou and smirked evilly. "'Tis 7:00... InuYasha did say he wanted to leave at 7, did he not?" Sango looked to him. "Umm... yeah something like that... why?" Miroku slipped off of the couch and ran to the kitchen silently. Sango and Kagome looked at each other, knowing he was planning... something. They both got up and followed him. Miroku scavenged through containers, finally finding what he needed. He turned towards the wonderous girls and smiled. Miroku looked to the hanyou, slowly walking towards him. Sango grabbed Miroku's sleve. "Just what are you planning to do?" Miroku turned towards the woman and smiled warmly. "Playing a prank of course." Kagome immediatly walked to the couch, wanting nothing to do with this, knowing InuYasha wouldn't awaken cheerfully. Sango smiled at Miroku, letting him go. "I'm with Kagome on this one..." Sango followed Kagome and sat down, turning on the TV, making a distraction for both of them, although the two of them kept glancing towards the kitchen.

After awhile, coughing and laughing was heard from the kitchen. Sango walked in, seeing Miroku laughing, holding onto the counter. Sango looked to InuYasha and giggled. Kagome walked in behind Sango, seeing the hanyou's head covered in flour. Kagome also giggled. InuYasha growled and looked at Miroku. "YOU!" Miroku looked up, stopped laughing and looked completely serous about all of this. "Me?" InuYasha growled. Kagome shook her head slowly and walked back to the couch. Sango watched as the two men stared at each other. InuYasha looked at Sango. "I'm taking I shower!" The hanyou stomped up the stairs angerly, slamming the door to the bathroom on the way in. Miroku chuckled and grabbed his leather jacket, quickly putting it on. "Ready to leave." Sango scoffed. "We kinda have to wait for Inu." Miroku tilted his head. "Not necessarily." Miroku nudged his head to InuYasha's sweater, which had the money in the pocket. Kagome stood. "That's just rude!" Miroku smiled to her. "I was just kidding, miss Higurashi." Kagome sat back down, crossing her legs. "You better have been..." Sango smiled at Kagome. "You wanna get out of your school uniform?" Kagome shook her head. "I knew I would go to your house after school so I brang some extra cloths." Sango nodded. "Alright.. I'm gonna go get dressed." Kagome nodded and watched as Sango left the room, leaving Miroku and Kagome alone.

Kagome watched the blank TV, waiting for either Sango and InuYasha to come back. Miroku sat down beside Kagome. She tenced and continued to aviod eye contact between her and Miroku. 'What am I doing? The only time he's like that is in vampire form... but... then again... I don't know that...' Miroku stared at her. "Are you alright, Kagome?" She just nodded and continued to watch the blackness in the TV. Miroku shrugged and leaned against the back of the couch, closing his eyes and relaxing a bit. Sango came back downstairs. Kagome smiled and relaxed. Sango tilted her head. "You gonna change er what?" Kagome nodded. "Yeah... umm... can I use your room?" Sango nodded and handed Kagome her backpack. "Thanks..." Kagome ran to Sango's room and quickly changed, hearing laughing and giggling coming from Koke's room. Kagome ran back downstairs, seeing Miroku practically ontop of Sango. "Umm..." Sango turned a bright red and pushed him off, mummbling "Hentai..." under her breath. Miroku quickly sat up straight and smiled at Kagome. Kagome returned his smile and looked to the still red Sango. "Is InuYasha ready yet?" Sango nodded. "Yeah... almost, I heard the water stop." Kagome smiled. "Alright." She sat down on the floor and waited for the hanyou.

InuYasha walked out of the bathroom and looked to Kagome, smiling. Kagome looked up at him and admired his looks, wet silver hair dripping water onto his bare built shoulders. Kagome stared and blushed a bit since he was only wearing pants. InuYasha smirked and picked up his sweater, slipping into it. "Come on, let's go!" Sango nodded. "I already told my brother that he would have the house to himself." InuYasha nodded and ran out the door, to Miroku's dark purple car. He quickly opened the door, hoping in, everyone behind him. Miroku infront with Inu, Miroku of course driving, and the girls in the back. Kagome smiled. "Road trip!" InuYasha chuckled. "No, not yet, first to my house to get some beer from Sesshoumaru." Kagome smiled and nodded, looking at InuYasha in the mirror. "Alright... then road trip!"
