AN- No matter how hard I try, nor how long I work, the length doesn't really change once the chapter

is uploaded so I'm still trying to make the chapters longer. Thank you for all who reviewed. Someone

who reviewed commented that 18 is a little too old unless their in college. Actually that just gave me an

idea. We'll say this is senior year. Anyway, the idea is for a sequel when they're all in college. What do

you think?

Also, Reviewers are asking is this Sess/Kag or Inu/Kag? That is decided but I'm keeping it a secret for now, through

Singergirl22, you have the right idea... :) Anyway, on with the story.

Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha and/or Co....I wish I did though... :)

Chapter 6-

Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Miroku, Kagome, and Sango entered the classroom just as the bell rang. Mr. Young, a

young man with dark hair and thick glasses entered the room and called his class to order. He then asked for

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha to tell a bit about themselves while he went to the math workroom to get some textbooks.

The two complied and repeated the speeches they had made in Lit. class. When Mr. Young came back he handed the

books to his two new pupils and looked around the class room. There was one empty seat in the front of the class, and

one on the second row beside Kagome. "Sesshomaru," Mr. Young piped up, "Go and sit next to Kagome, in front of

Miroku, Inuyasha, you can sit here in the front row." He then turned to the board and began to write up page numbers.

Sesshomaru smirked as he took his place beside Kagome, who sighed and looked towards the blackboard. He

opened his notebook and began to write what the teacher was writing. He then opened his textbook to the assigned

page and waited for the teacher to begin instructions. While he was waiting he looked over the page, it was the same

book he had had at his old school, and it was now opened to chapter 7. 'Great,' he thought to himself, 'I've already

done this chapter.' He looked over, Kagome was writing down the assignment and getting her book ready. She looked

over and frowned, "What!?! Why do you keep staring at me." It was almost a yell. That brought everybody's eyes on

the pair. "Miss Higurashi, Mr. Inu, is there a problem here?" Mr. Young walked over. "Yes, Sesshomaru Inu continues

to stare at me. This is the second class he done it in." Mr Young's eyes widened in surprise at this outburst, Kagome

was his prize student, she never lost her temper, now she was coming perilously close. "Mr. Inu, what seems to be the

problem?" Mr Young asked. Sesshomaru replied cooly, "There isn't a problem, I was just looking around the room,

you see, I have already completed this chapter, at my old school, and I was seeing what she was doing, how one

normally prepares for your class at the beginning of the period. I didn't mean to be harassing." Mr. Young nodded,

satified with this answer and went back to the front of the room. "Well Sesshomaru, seeing as you have already learned

this chapter, do you have anything else to do for another class?" "No sir, I don't." "Hmm, well then why don't you go

to the library, Miroku, show him where it is please. Inuyasha, have you also already done this chapter?" "Hmm, what?"

Inuyasha was brought out of his open-eyed nap. "No, I didn't do it." The class laughed and Mr. Young raised an

eyebrow. "Very well then, you shall sit through the lesson." He turned his attention to Miroku, "Miroku, will you show

Mr. Inu the way?" Miroku nodded and walked out of the classroom, followed by Sesshomaru.

-Out in the hall way-

Miroku was mad, this punk was messing with his friend. "Hey, Inu, what's your problem, why are you messing

with Kagome?" Sesshomaru looked at Miroku with an expressionless face. "What do you mean, weren't you listening

in there? I was simply seeing what people did to get ready for class." Miroku wasn't sold, "I didn't believe that load of

crap when you were speaking to Mr. Young, and I sure don't believe you now. Spill." Sesshomau raised an eyebrow,

then he cracked a rare smile. "I like you Miroku, you see people and events beyond the surface." Miroku was a bit

taken aback. He hadn't expected this response. He had expected denile or something. He tried for a straight answer.

"So, what's with you and Kag?" Sesshomaru's face went blank in the blink of an eye. He didn't want to admit that he

didn't really know. "So where's the library?" Miroku saw right through this. "Not happening, seriously," Miroku was

beginning to see a pattern, Kagome comes up and he changes the subject "I won't tell if you don't want me to, but Kag

is like my little sis, even if we are the same age, I want to know if you plan to mess with her." Sesshomaru shook his

head. "No, I wouldn't hurt Kagome, and as long as you promise not to take this to Kagome's ears, I don't really

know. She fascinates me. She's comfortable in her surroundings, she appears to have an endless supply of friends, she

seems like she's an excellent student, the school staff think highly of her. She intrigues me." 'I can't believe I just said all

of that out loud," Sesshomaru mentally slapped himself, blabbering like that to a near perfect stranger.

Miroku was surprised too. "Come on, I have to get back to class." "Ok, you won't tell her though, right?" "No,

man, I won't tell her, but if you really have all of Kagome's classes with her, others will figure out soon enough. It's

almost like most of the school subconsciously protects her, except for..." Miroku shut his mouth and started walking but

Sesshomaru's interest was caught. "Who?" "What, ah, no one. Look, I wouldn't pry with Kagome, and just to let you

know, this conversation doesn't exist. You'll be accepted in the school by the teachers and students, probably even by

our circle, me, Sango, Shippo, Souta at times, Rin, everyone I suppose, but I wouldn't expect acceptance from

Kagome. Just between us, she doesn't really respond to anyone but our circle, click, group, whatever you know what I

mean. Sure she's probably the most popular girl in school, but that doesn't change the fact." They arrived outside the

Library doors, "See ya later man," Miroku called over his shoulder as he headed back to class. "Yeah, see ya,"

Sesshomaru replied as he entered the library.

-Miroku's thoughts on his way back to cladd-

Miroku walked back to class with his head spinning. This Sesshomaru has no idea what he's getting into.

Kagome has a past, then again who doesn't, but she's not likely to let him into her like. Not after.....

-Back in class-

Miroku's thoughts were cut short as he walked into class. He went to his seat and looked over at Kagome, she

looked different, strained, then the look was gone. 'Hmm, that was strange.'

The class was now half over. Kagome looked over at him, "That took plenty of time, what happened, you find

a group of girls on the way back to class?" She smiled at him, she was her usual self agin, 'Maybe I just imagined that

look.' He nodded his head and said, "So what did I miss?" The teacher had stopped explaining and doing examples

and the class was now working on an assignment. Kagome explained it to him and got to work on her own assignment.

-In the library with Sesshomaru-

Sesshomaru walked into the library and started browsing through books. 'Might as well find one to read in

class. I imagine I'll need something to occupy my time during one class or another.' He picked up Arrows of the Queen

by Mercedes Lackey, (AN- An awesome book that I suggest to anyone who likes fiction, I personally rank it up there

with Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, etc.. all of which I like. :)) It looked to be a good book so he checked

it out and and sat down, but his thoughts wouldn't focus on the book, his thoughts strayed to his conversation with

Miroku and Kagome. 'She's beautiful, she's strong, but what's she hiding what's going on, or what went on?' thoughts

like that revolved through his till he looked down at his watch and got up to leave. 'The bell will ring soon, I need to get

back to math.'

-Back in class-

Sesshomaru walked in and picked up his stuff just as the bell rang. He stood up and followed Kagome, Sango,

Inuyasha, and Miroku out into the hall.

AN- ok, I knoe that's a lame ending but I have to go now. Inuyasha is about to come on and I really wanted this

chapter up before then. Please review, I treied to make this one longer.
