A/n: sorry it took so long to write the next chapter, I had writer's block and had a HUGE exam. So the winner was…. You'll see

Last time:

By the third lap, Kagome was nowhere to be seen, but near the end everyone spotted her. She was neck-and-neck with a silver blur and another silver blur right behind them. The winner was…

Chapter 2: Stay Away From Me

The winner was…Kagome. Although the race was a close one and everyone expected Kagome to lose, it was still a surprise that Kagome won. But they weren't the only one.

"How did that inferior human beat me? No one can beat a demon such as I. Impossible, yet she is living proof that she, a mere human, defeated I, Sesshomaru, in a race," Sesshomaru thought.

He remembered everything. Inuyasha foolishly sprinted the first lap, which of course made him last in the end. What was interesting was that, he never lapped the human girl. By the third lap, he could hear pants behind him, and quickly gaining. Sesshomaru sped up, yet she still caught up. In the end, she had beaten him by a mere second. Sesshomaru looked around, but the girl was nowhere to be seen.

He sniffed the air for her scent, but could find it. Sesshomaru saw movement at the corner of his eye, and saw the only human that had beaten him, ever.

Kagome stopped. She had hidden her scent, at the moment she saw them, Kagome knew the two new students were demons. At least, one was, the other was a hanyou. It was pathetic really. The races should never mix. It would be a disgrace to both species. Besides, a hanyou would never truly belong to the world.

It was when Kagome snapped out of her thoughts, did she realize that she was being followed. Kagome quickened her pace, and walked faster toward a shrine where she always practiced. She hid behind a column. When Kagome felt the presence close in to range, she sent a ball of sacred energy toward the aura. She heard a thump and came out of her hiding place.

There was Sesshomaru, lying on the ground in a state of shock, but he quickly recovered.

"Why are you following me?" Kagome asked harshly, prepared to attack again incase she felt a threat from Sesshomaru.

"A human, no less a wench like you should be able to defeat me in a race," Sesshomaru spat.

"That doesn't explain why you are following me," Kagome said.

"You are different from other inferior humans. You run with the speed of demons, which is impossible for a human," Sesshomaru said, clearly annoyed.

"You're not answering my question," Kagome sighed irritably.

"You left the meeting, which makes me curious as to why you would leave so abruptly," Sesshomaru said.

"It is for me to know, and for you not to find out, are demons always so nosy and talkative?" Kagome snapped.

"It depends on who you refer to," Sesshomaru smirked.

"Whatever," Kagome said, walking away. She made sure to hide her scent and aura, so Sesshomaru wouldn't be able to track her.

At School

Kagome quickly jumped into her car, and sped off. She was NOT going to be late, on her first day of school. Even though the track training had started before the season, it did not mean that school had started. Kagome parked her car, and ran to her first class, and sat down at the back.

"Class, there are new students to the school this year. Please welcome Sesshomaru and Inuyasha Takashi," Mr. Nobutomo said.

The class half-heartedly applauded, the girls swooned, and Kagome quietly snorted to herself.

"Sesshomaru, you will sit next to Kagome Higurashi. Inuyasha you will sit in front of her," Mr. Nobutomo directed.

Kagome raised her hand to signify her spot. The Takashi brothers sat in their designated places, and class began.

Much to Kagome's dismay, she had every single class with Sesshomaru. It was P.E., and Kagome groaned. Surely, if she knew inuyoukai well enough, his pride will drive him to get a rematch, to regain his honor.

"Class, we will be doing some sparring today. First, we will have a start-off and see who is the best at this, and will be helping me assist others in this unit," Coach Kikuchi said.

"Boys and girls go to the locker rooms and change to your outfits and make sure that u wear the mask at all times, so no one will be able to tell who you are," he instructed.

Kagome walked to the Girl's Locker Rooms, and quickly changed. She didn't worry much about how her hair would look after she took off her mask.

She walked out and waited for the next set of instructions.

Coach Kikuchi was waiting for everyone to come out, and told everyone to partner up. It would be a mini sparring tournament. The losers would go wait at the bench, and unmask.

One by one, the class went. Until there were only two left. Kagome had covered her scent and aura so Sesshomaru couldn't find out where she was. Apparently, they were the last people 'alive'.

"Remember, it's best out of three," Mr. Kikuchi started. "Ready? Begin."

Kagome noticed that Sesshomaru was waiting for Kagome to make the first move; she wasn't planning on falling into his plan. She was no one's puppet.

His opponent was quite irritating. Sesshomaru sighed, he had wanted to play with his opponent before defeating him, but oh well. Sesshomaru lunged at his opponent, but was shocked when it was blocked.

Kagome smirked. It was so easy faking her abilities. She reveled at Sesshomaru's shock, but she recovered quickly and caught Sesshomaru once again, by surprise. Kagome swung her sword to Sesshomaru's neck. H e didn't block it. She had one point.

Sesshomaru was astonished beyond any point. How could a human easily best him at his forte? He guessed that it was that girl, but he wasn't sure. Sesshomaru was determined not to let this human best him again. But he was to be disappointed. His mysterious opponent always found a way to either evade or block his attack. They would also find a way to counter, and sometimes he would be able to block it as well, but others, he'd have to dodge the blows.

"Wonderful job, class. Will the winner unmask please?" Mr. Kikuchi asked.

The winner unmasked, and there stood Kagome, eyes gleaming. Sesshomaru's eyes widened, but he calmed down as he unmasked as well. The class cheered and applauded.

Sesshomaru's head hung in defeat. His pride was heavily damaged. Not only was he defeated, but he loss to a human, no a human wench.

"Good match Sesshomaru," Kagome bowed to him. He knew she was rubbing it in his face.

Sesshomaru just walked away, as class ended. "How rude," one girl said. "But he's so hot," another girl said.

After School

Kagome noticed that she was being followed again. When she read the aura, Kagome realized it was Sesshomaru. She stopped abruptly.

"What do you want, Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked coldly.

"Why do you walk so far from school? Clearly, you are out of district," Sesshomaru replied.

"It's none of your business. Besides, I have been excused for my own purposes," Kagome started walked away.

"Wench, do not walk away from me." Sesshomaru demanded.

Kagome stopped again. "You have no control over me, Sesshomaru. You can not tell me what to do. You do NOT own me." Kagome turned around.

Kagome walked up to Sesshomaru and stared up at him.

"LEAVE ME ALONE! Stop following me! Just, stay AWAY from me" Kagome pushed him, and ran.

A/n: so how was that? Hoped ya'll liked it. Until next time. Please review!
