"The Untouchable"

Chapter 5: Give him up…

Author's note: Hey everyone! If you haven't noticed I have been using some of the lines in MARS, an AWESOME manga! I have always wanted to use some of that story in a part of one of mine. Cause it just rox! Ha-ha! But I will not copy it word for word. I only have books 1-4 and so I chose my favorite scene or book and picked the parts I loved, which my imagination will pick up from there. I was at a totally loss at what to do for chapter 4 and my dream had finally came true! So I hope none of you were offended with my using of some of the scenes. This is the last chapter I will use some of his work. From here on it will be ALL ME! And now that I think of it…I totally forgot to give credit to: Fuyumi Soryo (one of the most intelligent writers/artists for making one of Japan's most popular comics for teen girls EVER!!!) Now if you'll excuse me…I'll get on with writing…or typing! Now on with the story! Thanx everyone!

Recap:

"Inuyasha! Look!" Kagome said practically turning him to see the headlights getting closer and closer to her until they were inches away from her.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! INUYASHA!" Kikyo's screams echoed through the air, getting everyone's attention.

"Kikyo!" He yelled not even thinking as he raced towards her.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed as she held her small hands under her eyes, scared of what might happen to him.

The diesel was merely a couple feet away as Inuyasha grasped her small waist in a death grip, hurling the both of them off the street and onto the cement sidewalk with a sickening scrapping sound.

HONK the truck sounded when he passed not even stopping to see if the two are okay. "Stay out of the freakin' road, IDIOTS!" He yelled out the window as he continued down the road till he was out of sight.

"There's been an accident! Someone got hit by a diesel!? Hurry…!" One of the many people that had crowded around the couple spoke in panic as they yelled into their cell phone. "Are you alright?!"

Inuyasha hadn't even gotten up from his huddled position as he held Kikyo, who was now balling hysterically against his chest. He hadn't quite comprehended what had happened but just as he registered it he looked down at her finally finding his voice.

"Kikyo, why did you do such an idiotic thing…?" He questioned the girl who had to take several breaths before being able to answer.

"B-because I might as well be dead…if I can't have you then there is no reason for me to live…I just can't take that. I can't…" Placing her hands on her face to try and blur out his face which now held an realization look as he pulled her into a much need hug. She racked with sobs and all Inuyasha could do was hold her closer…thinking.

"Are you ok?" A man in the crowd asked causing Inuyasha to snap his head up to look the man in the face.

"Oh…she's okay, just a little shaken from the shock."

"Not her. I was talking about you…" He pointed out. That's when Inuyasha noticed a huge gash on his left hand that was bleed all over his jean jacket.

"What?" He whispered touching it…as soon as his fingers came into contact he winced closing his eyes. That's got to be deep…

Hospital

Kagome stood in the women's bathroom as she washed out Inuyasha's jacket preventing a huge blood stain on the sleeve. He was cut pretty badly for the stain ran from the wrist to the elbow. As she washed the jacket, her mind slipped off into its own thoughts.

"I'd rather die…I can't stand to lose you"…but to do that…once false move and they both…

"I'm scared, really scared" She spoke out loud as she brought the newly washed, stain free jacket to her face.

Once outside: Lobby

There was Kikyo sitting in one of the lobby's waiting chairs, crying silently to herself. Her hands were clasped tightly together so tight that her knuckles were as white as milk. Hearing footsteps Kikyo's head snapped up. Apparently thinking it was Inuyasha or the doctor but instead came face to face with Kagome.

"You must think I'm a total bitch. And wish I'd never come around here…but you have no idea what I have been going through." She spoke to Kagome as Kagome stood in front of her still clutching Inuyasha's jacket. "I've been waiting this whole time to see Inuyasha again, to be with him again. I've dreamed of this day since long before you even met Inuyasha. Please give Inuyasha back to me. Give him back!"

"I-I can't…I-I don't…" Kagome managed to get out half the sentence. I don't think giving him back is really my decision. It's not like I'm holding him back. I don't want to...I don't want to leave Inuyasha's side either…I feel attached to him…like I need him and every time I am near him I get a tingly feeling…what's wrong with me?!...I don't even know the guy!

"So…you don't mind that I'm in love with Inuyasha? You won't be mad if I see Inuyasha again?" Kikyo squealed out the questions looking very hopeful. "I don't have the right to be."

Please don't look at me like that…Don't make me say anymore…

"He's the one that has to decide…" Just when Kagome got the answer out Inuyasha walked out with his hand totally bandaged up. And Kagome could only stare at him as Kikyo jumped up out of her seat…running to him.

"INUYASHA! Are you okay?!" She asked panicky as she gently grasped his hand.

"No big deal. I got a couple of stitches." Inuyasha answered not even looking at her. His eyes were on Kagome who stood looking him in the eye, insecure. But hearing the soft sobs that were shedding right in front of him caused him to look back towards Kikyo who cried against his hand…gently.

"KIKYO!" A woman yelled running into the silent room of the lobby.

"MOMMY!" Kikyo said in surprise as she cried harder, running over to her mother who grabbed her up into a warm, loving hug.

"The Police called me to tell me there was an accident, so I rushed over…" Her mother said while rubbing her hand against her daughter's face making sure she was okay.

"I'm fine…Inuyasha protected me." She told her mother proudly. At the sound of that name her mother snapped her head towards the direction her daughter was staring lovingly at.

"Inuyasha…Takahashi?! It…it's been a while. How's your brother?" She asked

"Well…I'm living alone right now…" He answered smiling lightly at her.

"I see…please let me take care of the medical bill. Let's go home, Kikyo." At that sentence she gathered her daughter under her arm and proceeded to walk her out of the building.

"Wait Mom, Inuyasha! We'll see each other again! Inuyasha?" Kikyo managed to get out before her mother shoved her out the door.

"I'm not going to see Kikyo anymore." Inuyasha said once Kikyo had ridden off with her mom. He turned towards Kagome who looked questioning at him.

"But that's not was Kikyo seems to think that, does she?" Kagome replied

"Kikyo's old lady wouldn't allow it anyway. She doesn't like me. She thinks of me as some curse or something."

"She said something that awful to you?" She asked quite shocked at what he had said.

"She doesn't have to. I can see it in her eyes. She looks at me like me brother use to look at me…a burden…hey; don't squeeze my jacket so tight." Inuyasha said with a small laugh quickly changing the subject.

"I-I'm sorry." Kagome answered immediately loosening her grip on the poor jacket.

"It's okay. You washed it for me? Thanks." With that he put the jacket on with a shrug. "You ready to get out of here? All these doctors and needles are starting to get to me…"

Giggle "Yeah, same here!" Kagome said softly. Inuyasha gently grasped her hands as the two walked out of the hospital for the first time alone and happy. But even though Kagome had a genuine smile on her features, her thoughts couldn't help but retrace her conversation with Kikyo.

Next Day: Friday Morning School

"I can't believe it! To try and kill herself because he wouldn't pay attention to her! She's nuts and totally out of control!" Sango exclaimed to the calmly sitting Kagome. "Look, I know she is pretty but I can't Inuyasha could stoop that low and date such a basket case! He too is out of his mind…"

"But…she really cute…and you know what they say about cute and popular people." Kagome replied spacing off.

"No, what...?" Sango asked bringing her attention towards Kagome.

"They always get what they want…"

"Humph! Well whatever!" Sango huffed quietly while mumbling some profanities.

"The way she went about trying to get him back was psycho! But what is scary is that she really means it…"

"You IDIOT! What are you impressed for? She might steal Inuyasha from you. Don't you care?" Sango yelled not believe this girl in front of her.

"Of course I care! But…if you look at Kikyo's point of view, it's the total opposite. I'm the one who stole Inuyasha from her; I'm the one in the way…" Kagome explained not lifting her gaze off the floor. "Her feelings are the same as they were 2 yrs. ago…"

"There is a time to let go and apparently she is mental!" Sango said grabbing her bag which lay on the schools cement stairs. "Anyway to get off this annoying subject which by the way is ruining my day already…we need to get inside before we're late."

"Yeah you're right…let's get going…" With that said Kagome too grabbed her things and followed Sango into the building.

Somewhere else on campus

"Who the hell does she think she is!?" Ruirin yelled to his intently listening comrades.

"I know what you mean…" Takashi agreed in a low voice. "And what is up with the new guy? NOW WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS! Coming in our territory and taking what is ours!"

"Shut up, man!? People are starting to stare!" One of the guys scolded in a hush, hush voice.

"Some how…I'm going to get her, even if she doesn't want it…she's mine…" Ruirin whispered

"Yeah…and we'll deal with macho man after school…TODAY!" Takashi exclaimed with a cruel smirk "He'll wish he never came to this school…ha-ha…"

Kagome's POV

Sigh

She looked emotionless out the window of their cold classroom. A single beam of sunlight made its way through the half way closed blinds. The day had been slow and she hadn't seen Inuyasha at all. Her next period was with him…Mrs. Kazoo's English Class…

Holy shit! I had detention yesterday…after school!?! OH MY GOSH! Breathe…I can't…That means…oh no…

"KAGOME! STAND UP NOW! AND MARCH YOUR FANNY OVER HERE! MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!" Mrs. Kazoo yelled to the slowly moving Kagome, who gulped constantly. "YOU CALL THAT MOVING?? I WANT THOSE LEGS UP!" I swear she was a marching sergeant in another life time…her poor husband…

Taking no time to spare Kagome started walking quite quickly to the front of the room to where Mrs. Kazoo's desk lay. Damn you, Inuyasha…why of all days do you have to absent today. You had detention too…which you missed with me. And you also could be up here like a man fighting off the urge to rip her head off which I am doing right now!

"Kagome…dear…sweet, innocent student of mine…WHY DID YOU MISS YESTERDAY'S DETENTION SESSION!?!!? HM…?" She questioned with an annoyed expression.

"I am so sorry, Mrs. Kazoo…I totally forgot…um…yesterday my Grandmother died of natural causes and we were up at the hospital all last night…uh…preparing for her funeral and…um…also going through her will which she hadn't written…I-

"I'M HERE!" Inuyasha exclaimed walking into her room with a huge smile. Kagome turned a shocked face towards him which he returned with a smirk.

"Mr. Takahashi…IS THERE A REASON WHY YOU JUST INTERUPTED MY CLASSROOM WITH THAT TONE OF VOICE?!?!?!" Mrs. Kazoo asked, while electricity surged out of her eyes towards his.

"No, ma'am…I am just in a really good mood…please forgive me…" With the bow of his head he proceeded to go and sit down at his desk. He was silently curious why Mrs. Kazoo was yelling at Kagome when he walked in. He had heard their little argument all the way down the hall. Once seated he watched Mrs. Kazoo look at some kind of note pad she had on her desk and smirk evilly.

"MR. TAKAHASH, COME TO THE FRONT OF THE ROOM WHERE YOU AND MRS. HIGURASHI WILL BE JUDGED!"

What the hell did we do? There goes the good mood… Inuyasha thought as he hustled to the front of the room, standing next to a fidgety Kagome.

Thank the Stars that he is here…my thoughts have been answered! He-he! Inner Kagome: OH YEAH! Mini Horns appear…evil smirk SCORE!!!!

"Kagome…Kagome? KAGOME!?!!?! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?" Mrs. Kazoo asked standing up in the face of the dazed out Kagome.

Sigh "Huh? Uh! YES MA'AM!" Oh gosh…I almost saluted…ha-ha!

"Since the two of you missed your detention session…" Here is comes…the punishment… "5 DAYS OF DETENTION! THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR THE TWO OF YOU TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND YOUR WRONG DOINGS! NOW GO SIT DOWN! I DON'T WANT YOU IN MY FACE!!!" Many of the students gasped, others giggled. But all were silent at the glare that Mrs. Kazoo shot as well as Kagome and Inuyasha.

"Yes, Ma'am…" Both Inuyasha and Kagome said in unison. The two gave each other a glance and sat down in their seats. Sighing when the hard seat came into contact and as well as the acknowledgment of the whole incident. But just then a question popped into her head, and it was really important even though she knew this wasn't the time to ask anything. But…oh well…

"Mrs. Kazoo…does our punishment start today or tomorrow?" Kagome asked for both her and Inuyasha, who was probably thinking the same thing. Just then Mrs. Kazoo got a real bitter sweet expression and just as she was about to answer it faded into something the devil himself would wear.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK MRS. HIGURASHI?!?!?!!?!?!?!....." She waited for an answer.

"Um…today?" Kagome managed to get out in a small voice.

"YES! AND BE THERE…or else…" Mrs. Kazoo laughed evilly then stood up where she began to teach.

30 minutes later…

"Well…CHILDREN! WHO KNOWS THE ANSWER? TAKASHI? INUYASHA?!...no…KAGOME! WHAT IS THE ANSWER! NOW, NOW, NOW! I DON'T LIKE TO WAIT!" Mrs. Kazoo yelled pointing her yard stick at the scared looking Kagome. Who obviously didn't know the answer…she hadn't been paying attention. "DOESN'T ANYONE KNOW?!?! GOSH! SOMEONE ANSWER!? THE MAGIC BUNNY IN THE CORNER! ANYTHING OR ONE?!?!?!!??!"

BUZZ

"Um…Mrs. Kazoo? I need Kagome Higurashi in the office…now! Thank you…and uh forgive me for interrupting" Principal Kestle spoke through the intercom.

"Oh, Mr. Kestle…I'll send her right up. Sorry for yelling everyone…thank you Sir!" Mrs. Kazoo replied in a super buttery voice as she glared at her students. Once she was sure he was off of the intercom she turned to Kagome. "Well, well, well looks like you are quite the trouble maker today…who would've known one of my best students is sour on the inside…" With that said she excused her from class. "Oh! And Kagome…take your things…I don't want you back in my classroom for the rest of the day…" She told her in a low voice once Kagome was about to leave the room. Kagome then ran back to her desk where she gathered everything up and shot Inuyasha a look of 'CAN YOU BELIEVE HER? WHAT A BITCH!' which he returned with an apologetic look.

Once out in the hall…

I can not believe she humiliated me in front of everyone like that! I never liked her but I at least had some respect for her because of her teaching but now…oh it's on a whole different level…I officially hate her! Ok…not hate but DISLIKE HER ON THE EDGE OF HATE…a THIN line…

Kagome was so lost in her thoughts and wasn't watching where she was going or she would've seen the guy walking straight her way. Reading some sort of paper that looked sort of like a schedule.

BAM the books that were in Kagome's hands flew through the air as well as the guys papers which he had been reading intently.

"Oh my gosh…are you okay? I am so sorry…" Kagome said very apologetically getting up out of her fallen pose and onto her knees to help the poor guy out. At the sound of her voice the guy's head shot up to meet eye to eye with hers.

"I am now that I have been touched by a fallen angel…" The guys said in a low, deep voice. Kagome had to almost blush at that one. Even though it was very corny she couldn't help but like the way his voice sounded. He couldn't believe how incredibly beautiful this girl was…her long straight raven hair fell around her face framing it perfectly, it reached mid back and looked as if it were silk.

"Ok then…" Kagome spoke through the silence. She quite uncomfortable by the way he was staring her down like a buffet to a starved man. "So are you new?"

"Oh…I'm sorry I didn't mean to stare at you…you must think I'm a freak…" The guy said lowering his gaze to the ground.

"Oh…no, no! It's fine!" Kagome was thankful he was looking at something different now. He could still tell she was uncomfortable so he stood up and shook her hand.

"I'm Kouga and yes I am new" He smiled warmly at her which she returned.

"Please to meet you, I'm Kagome Higurashi" She answered "Are you lost?"

"Um…actually I am…" Kouga replied sheepishly. But soon his eyes light up like a Christmas tree "Do you think you can help me?"

"Oh, I would love to help but I actually can't…you see Principal Kestle wants to see me."

"Well, well quite the bad girl I see…" Kouga smirked

"Lately…can I see your schedule? Might as well delay my time as much as possible…" Kagome said placing a sweet smile on her features.

"And if they come and find you?"

"I'll use the excuse…helping the new distressed student find his way around!" She laughed but it soon ended when her thoughts came across Inuyasha. I'm using that line a lot lately… Kouga handed her the folded piece of paper with care which she took. "Ah! We have 2nd…Mrs. Kazoo's English class…and 6th together…my worst classes…"

Kouga couldn't help but smile that he had classes with her.

"But hey, Kouga if you want you can wait for me outside the office. And after my lecture I can show you around?"

"Alright! Let's go" With that the two walked down the hallway and after what seemed like an eternity they reached the office.

"OH! Kagome dear! Mr. Kestle is ready for you…and good luck he seems quite…um disturbed today" One of the Secretaries explained with a wink.

"Thanks for the advice" Kagome answered with a polite smile. Just my luck… with that final thought Kagome shot Kouga a nervous glance and entered his office for the first time in 11 years.

"Ah…Mrs. Higurashi please sit down." Mr. Kestle offered with the wave of his hand.

"Thank you" Kagome sat as comfortably as she could in her nervous state. It seemed as though the chair was sucking her up and all was showing were she eyes out of the burrow.

"Now, do you Mrs. Higurashi know why I called you to my office?" He asked standing up and moving to sit on his desk in front of her. Kagome felt as though she were getting the sex talk from her mother.

"No Sir…" She answered firmly

"Well…let me acknowledge you…two days ago a fight was held and from what I hear it was over you. Do you know what exactly went down?"

How can I put this without getting Inuyasha in deep trouble…it wasn't his fault in the first place! He was protecting me…

Kagome thought intently and thoroughly before answering. "Sir, it all started when Ruirin slapped me in P.E."

"My son slapped you?" Mr. Kestle seethed in question as he looked intently at the floor. Mr. Kestle you have no idea what kind of son you've raised…do you know he tried to RAPE ME!? HUH?! Nope you sure DON'T!

"Yes sir…"

"And what was his reasoning?" He asked now raising his eyes to search hers.

"How about I start from the beginning and tell you everything. Maybe that would be better?" Kagome replied with questioning eyes.

"Please proceed" Mr. Kestle answered with a wave of his hand while giving her his full attention.

Flashback

"You are cold hearted, you show up at school on a bike with a hot guy in front of everyone when Ruirin has been going around telling everyone that you and him are dating." Sango exclaimed "That's my girl!" She added hugging her.

"He's been doing what!?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah, he seems really happy thank god he wasn't there to see that" Sango stated. "But by the looks everyone is giving you, he'll find out soon enough" she added when the bell rang.

"I really don't care, he deserves what he gets for what he did to me yesterday" Kagome mumbled getting a strange look from her friends. During school everything was going fine, she didn't have any classes with Ruirin until the last period, which was P.E time, and then to make matters worst she found out that they were going to have pool. She and the others were walking across the gym a girl who hated Kagome walked up to them.

"You, Kagome Higurashi should be ashamed! Have you no respect? Ruirin is a wonderful guy; god knows why he wants you as his girlfriend when I'm here. I can't believe you had the nerve to show up with a guy in front of the entire school" she yelled drawing attention.

"I don't have time for this and frankly what I do isn't anyone's concern. If he is so great then you date him cause I won't" Kagome replied walking past her with the others, she really hadn't expected Kagome to reply cause she never did before.

"CLASS YOU HAVE 5 MINUTES TO CHANGE! GO!" The Coach yelled. And everyone took off towards the locker rooms.

"Uh…Kag, you've got some problems. Ruirin is out there and isn't looking too happy." Sango said handing Kagome her bag.

"Is that all? As long as the Teacher is out there then everything will be alright." Kagome said confidently.

"That's the problem it's a free period" Sango answered making Kagome come to a halt. "No backing out now," she added pushing Kagome out the door and sure enough he was waiting there for her, seething with anger.


"Hello." Kagome started but was cut short when he slapped her across the face, in front of everyone, leaving his fingers printed out. She was stunned and everyone gasped in shock seeing what he did. Tears started to form in her eyes she had never been hit by a guy before; he slapped her so hard that she started to bleed. She wiped the blood from her the side of her mouth and looked at it.

"You bitch! You are mine, and what you do reflects on me! You will go home right after school and never see him again. If you do, you'll be very sorry. Do you understand me?" he yelled, his voice echoing throughout the room. "Do hear me?" he yelled slapping her again, her hair covered her face as tears fell to the ground.

"Hey man cool it, you shouldn't be hitting a girl like that" Kouta argued walking up to them, he had seen Inuyasha and Kagome together and by the looks of it they were close. "Are you ok, Kagome?" he added looking at her as he raised her face to see. Her cheeks were red and started to swell slightly 'Inuyasha has to know bout this' he thought.

"If you put your hands on me again EVER I will make you sorry, not even my father ever slapped me. What makes you think you have the right?" Kagome stated using one of Inuyasha's death glares. "You have no claim on me, I'm not your property, and I will do what ever I please." she added walking back in the locker room.

"You should be ashamed, I wish Miroku was here!" Sango spat as she ran back into the locker room to comfort Kagome.

"She deserved it Ruirin, you needed to show her who the boss was," the same girl said walking to them.

"You know what I have had enough of you Ping" One of Kagome's friends said looking at the girl.

"She's a slut, I bet she gave herself to him" Ping said.

"Ok that's it" The girl said punching her right in the noise. "That's one of my friends your talking about and let me tell you something she ain't nothing like you so back off" she growled walking off leaving the girl holding her nose. In the locker room Kagome was still crying and Sango was still trying to hush her sobs.

"Kagome, why didn't you do something?" Sango asked wiping away her tears.

"I just couldn't, I wanted to you know. Why does my life have to be so complicated? All I want is to be happy," Kagome said wiping her tears away. "That's the way I feel when I'm with Inuyasha. Even though we've just met, I feel so happy and secure about everything"

"I understand Kagome, if you feel that way with him than be with him." Sango answered giving her a comforting hug. "Come on, lets get you fixed up" Getting out her make-up, Sango put a little concealer to cover the redness. And before long she looked as good as new.

Once outside

"FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!"

"What the hell is going on?" Kagome whispered to herself

"I don't know?" Sango replied overhearing her mumble.

"Come on! Something isn't right about this." Kagome said as she grabbed Sango's hand pulling her out the glass double doors of their school. People were everywhere but mostly around 2 figures which stood around them. "Oh no…" She gasped seeing Inuyasha and Ruirin in the middle of the huge mob as she got closer. "LET ME THROUGH" Kagome yelled pushing through the crowd.

"Inuyasha, please don't do anything," Kagome said finally breaking through the crowd, the bruises on her face covered up by the make up.

"No, he needs to pay for yesterday and today, no one has the right to put their hand on you" Inuyasha replied.

"Please he's not worth it besides look I'm fine" Kagome said walking up to him, her face still hurt but she wouldn't show it.

"Look at who she is picking up for" Ruirin said proudly.

"I'm not picking up for you; it would just be a shame if you were to spend your senior year in a cast or worse" Kagome stated smiling, her friends on the side giggling.

"You might look fine but I can tell that your not" Inuyasha said taking her hand pulling her closer to him, Ruirin growled under his breath seeing this.

"Really I am" Kagome reassured but winced in pain when he touched her cheek. Inuyasha looked at her seriously as he looked at her face closely.

"You lie, your face is swollen on both sides" Inuyasha stated his face void of any emotion, Kagome looked into his eyes and quivered, it seemed as though all the warmth in his eyes were replaced by coldness.

"This doesn't look good" Sango said to Miroku who had just walked up. She took his hand and backed away slowly. Inuyasha started towards Ruirin who got ready for a fight but Kagome was in his way.

"Please lets just leave" Kagome begged standing in his way.

"Not till he pays, no one touches you" Inuyasha said lifting her out of the way, a couple of guys including Kouta walked over to the crowd.

"Don't take this personal but it's so you won't get in the way" Kouga said holding unto Kagome's arm.

"Please stop him," Kagome begged.

"If he didn't listen to you what makes you think he will listen to us?" One of the guys asked with a shrug.

"I'm gonna make you pay" Ruirin said charging at Inuyasha, he tried to punch him but Inuyasha easily dogged it and upper cut him in the nose then kneed him in the stomach. The students were shocked he moved even faster then the Miroku who they had seen last week.

"Let this be a warning to you, if you ever put your hand on her again I will make you pay dearly, there will be no escape" Inuyasha growled through clenched teeth 'your lucky she's here' he thought walking away from him as he tried to get off the ground. Everyone was whispering about what had just happened and the principal and security had just come through the door.

"Hey what are you doing?" security yelled, to Inuyasha.

"You ready?" Inuyasha asked Kagome.

"Yeah I wanna leave" Kagome said taking his hand. "I'll talk to you guys later"

"Yeah bye and call me later!" Sango yelled to her friend as she went with Inuyasha to the bike, he gave her the helmet before getting on to start it.

"Yeah I will" Kagome yelled before pulling down the black shade over her eyes.

End of Flashback

"That's all of it…" Kagome said looking at the man that stood in front of her. She watched him run his fingers through his hair, quite a habit. No longer did Principal Kestle stand in front of her now stood an ashamed father. He was flushed and his eyes deep in thought. But soon they met hers eye to eye, icy blue to chocolate brown.

"I am so sorry…for my son's mistake. We will have a huge punishment in store for him…you are now excused. Mrs. Yakisuka will write you a pass." He told her in a broken voice. His eyes which were focused on her were now filled with sympathy and an apologetic glaze. Kagome stood up abruptly and bowed to show her respects. Then turned and walked out where Kouga sat half asleep in one of the many waiting chairs. After telling that story she was in a dull mood and the last thing she wanted to do was show the new guy around.

"Mrs. Yakisuka, Mr. Kestle told me you would write me a pass…I would sure appreciate it…" Kagome asked leaning all her body weight against the tall desk which decorated the small office.

"Here you go dear…have a wonderful day! It's beautiful outside!" She exclaimed waving good bye.

Walking over to Kouga, Kagome roughly shoved his leg to wake him up. Snort "Huh? What? Oh hey! Everything go okay? You sure were in there a while…"

"Kouga, you know I am in a really bummed mood…do you think I could walk you to your next class and show you around school on Monday?" She asked will dull eyes which caused his brightened eyes to soften and nod in understanding.

"Yeah, no problem…"

"What time is it?" Kagome wondered out loud.

"Its 2:30…so uh…6th period" Kouga answered while looking at his watch calculating.

"Damn…it felt like an eternity had passed. Too bad the day hadn't…so I guess we can go to 6th together!" She smiled refastening her backpack strap to better rest on her shoulder.

7th Period

Snore

Kagome let out a small, silent giggle as she looked around the room of Mr. Takashima's class. Everyone was either asleep or almost there. Heads laid drooped, faces covered by arms and only small snoring noises could be heard. She was the only one awake well except Kouga…she didn't quite know what to think of him. He seemed nice and very friendly but there was something unusual about the guy? Kagome let her eyes roam and search him for a moment, what was it that bothered her so? Oh, hell why think when my brain is so groggy.

She looked back at her desk which was now covered in pens, pencils and notes, all taken in this class. I'm so bored! I need a wake up call!! She thought letting her head bang against the hard, wooden desk.

RIINNNGG

"Ok, that was good enough…" Kagome whispered to herself as she raised her head and picked up all her things. Standing up, she made her way to the door while her once gloomy mood was replace with a sudden excitement.

"Hey! Kag! Wait up!!!" At the sound of that voice she halted and immediately turned around.

"Yes, Kouga?" She asked holding her back pack strap tighter.

"Um…I was wondering if I could walk with you home. Uh…I mean take you home in my truck…" Kouga stuttered out the question. Kagome just smiled at his nervousness and then answered in an apologetic tone.

"I'm really sorry, Kouga but I have detention 5 days in a row…"

"Damn…that's what took you so long?" Kouga laughed as he followed Kagome out of the class room and towards Mr. Chiva's class where detention was held.

"Yeah…but hey…maybe another time?" Kagome asked while continuing to walk, they were almost to the classroom when she heard a very familiar voice which caused her to stop abruptly and smile.

"Kagome?" Kouga questioned confusedly as he too stopped beside her, looking towards where all her attention was focused on and was met with the sight of…

"Inuyasha!" She smiled happily as she raced forward to meet up with the guy who now was also smiling. The two were talking cheerfully together…when Kagome stopped to turn towards Kouga.

"Hey Kouga! Hold on Inuyasha…" She walked briskly back to him. "I'll see you tomorrow…wish me a wonderful time in detention, alright? Maybe you can come and eat lunch with me?" Kagome asked

"Yeah, I'd like that…talk to ya later…"

"Oh wait! Here!" Kagome pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to him. "It's my phone number…if you ever need someone to talk to…call me…" with that said she met back up with a visibly annoyed Inuyasha and walked into Mr. Chiva's room. Okie Dokie…Kagome! What were you thinking giving him your number…I was just being a FRIEND! The guy looked like he needed one!...YEAH RIGHT! More like a stalker needing someone to stare and STALK AFTER!?...GET OUT OF MY HEAD! Shaking her head violently to rid herself of her two consciousnesses she continued to listen to Inuyasha who was blabbing madly about something.

"Who was that guy? And what were you handing him…was it a phone number?"

"Yes, it was a phone number. I was just being a friend to the guy. He looked like he needed someone to talk to...wait…are you jealous?" Kagome questioned with a raised eyebrow. The two were sitting comfortably in two of the many desks in Mr. Chiva's room, getting ready for the old man to show up and them to get through their first days of detention.

"N-no! I was just wondering…I don't even care that you were talking to him…" Inuyasha replied in defense.

"Oh, okay since you don't care…I invited him to sit with us at lunch tomorrow?" Kagome smiled sweetly

"WHAT? You are being WAY too generous to this guy that you don't EVEN KNOW!?" He yelled

"I thought you didn't care?" She asked in a sugary voice of innocence.

"I-I…" Before he could finish he was cut short by Mr. Chiva's annoying voice.

"Okay…students…this is DETENTION! Meaning, NO talking, NO gum, NO notes, NO magazines AND NO MUSIC! Got that? Now let us BEGIN! Sit up STRAIGHT…HANDS and FEET on the FLOOR…QUIET!" Mr. Chiva yelled as he sat down at his desk and began reading a book. In minutes the teacher was out like a light.

cough

"Hey!" Kagome whispered to a straight sitting Inuyasha, who looked like a soldier.

"WHAT?" He answered her in a loud whisper…apparently still steaming over the whole Kouga thing.

"How about you and me get out of here?" She smiled evilly with a wink.

Looking around Inuyasha saw all the students were also sleeping which caused him to nod. And then question the already standing Kagome…

"What if we get caught?"

"We won't…you remembered to sign the sheet that said you were here right?" Kagome saw him shake his head 'no' Kagome sighed earning her an answer. "Alright…now quiet"

The two tip toed to the door which was slightly ajar, making sure Inuyasha signed his name on the dotted line. Picking up the pen which was attached to a chain he signed his name as neatly and quietly as he could. Once done he accidentally dropped the pen causing it to clatter against the desk with the chain clanging together.

Snore…cough, cough Inuyasha shot his head in Mr. Chiva's direction, alarmed. He saw the old man snort and shift in a more comfortable position, then fall back into a peaceful slumber.

"Hey, are you coming?" Kagome whispered to Inuyasha who jumped clear out of his skin at the sound of her voice. Holding in a laugh Kagome hurriedly walked back out in the hallway where she waited for Inuyasha to join her. After what seemed to be about 2 minutes, Inuyasha came prancing out into the hall.

"Took you long enough" She huffed with a playful smile.

"I dropped the pen…" Inuyasha answered with a shrug. As the two were almost to the door Kagome spotted Principal Kestle whistling down the other end of the hall. Apparently looking around for any unusual behavior, he had all of his things with him. Probably taking one last stroll down the halls? Inuyasha seemed to turn considerably pale and looked at Kagome urgently. Kagome pulled Inuyasha against one of the walls where Mr. Kestle couldn't see them and glanced around the hall to see any kind of escape.

It was like a light shined down from heaven…the Janitor's Closet was open! She roughly pulled Inuyasha into the room with her, making sure to quietly close the door…behind them.

"I never thought I would EVER be in this situation…" Kagome whispered to herself out loud. The school's Janitor's closet was VERY small, barely fitting 3 people in it. The two were in an unusual position…Inuyasha was the one backed against all the supplies that were neatly placed on the two shelves. Kagome was wedged in between Inuyasha and the door. Her body crushed against his hard chest. Not that she minded but was slightly embarrassed. It was silent as the heard the whistling getting closer and closer…

Just when they both thought that Mr. Kestle was leaving they suddenly heard the whistling right up against the door. Kagome clenched her eyes closed while preparing herself for the worst. But what happened next was nothing she was prepared for...
