Chapter Two

Little Bunnies?

Kagome felt herself being roughly slammed from behind and desperately tried to correct her balance. She ended up precariously tipping over and, for a while there, it seemed like time stood still as Kagome struggled to keep herself upright. Then all of a sudden, time shot forward as she lost the battle with gravity and had to declare herself the loser in this skirmish. As the ground rushed up to greet her, she couldn't help but mentally sigh. I shouldn't even be surprised. Why do I even bother sometimes?

"Crap, crap, crap..."

Kagome didn't realize that she was talking –or maybe muttering was the correct term– to herself but even if she did know, she probably wouldn't care less at that moment. She'd had a horrendous morning and she didn't know just how much more she could take. The morning had started innocently enough; truthfully, she was a touch more than excited for it was her first day of college classes, the day her independence started. Things were going fine...that is, until her first class started. She didn't count on how confused she would be about the whole campus; stupidly, she thought that all of her classes would be located in one building just like high school. She was in for a rude awakening. By the time she figured out where the building her first class was held, which was all the way on the other side of the campus, mind you, she had no minutes to spare and barely made it into the classroom in time. She was congratulating herself, mentally giving herself a pat on the back when the truth, shockingly and uninvited, came to her: she was in the wrong classroom! Needless to say, that began a chain of events which she could only describe as ultimate humiliation: she had gotten a stern lecture from the professor in front of her fellow peers when she finally made it, struggling for breath, to the right classroom fifteen minutes late; her backpack broke and therefore she was stuck carrying about ten not-so-light books for the rest of her three classes; when she and Sango went to lunch during her their free hour, Kagome succeeded in dropping her tray in front of everyone resulting in splashing a very unlucky, very cute guy all over in food...and now this had to happen.

Once again, she miscalculated where her last class was located and ended up hurrying through the wide, white hallway like some crazy maniac, desperately praying that she would make it in time.

As the people and objects around her became one big colorful blur because of her rushing down the seemingly endless corridor, her head whipping back and forth frantically looking around for the right room, Kagome couldn't help but curse biology lab, the source of her current predicament. Why couldn't they just stick this class where my other classes were held? Or better yet, why not just eliminate it all together? Stupid, stupid lab...

So lost in her thoughts, she didn't have time to think as she was rudely pushed down by something...

And now here she was, draped over the floor with all of her books scattered all about her.

What the hell...?

"Watch where you're going, wench!"

Kagome's head shot up as those words, laced with loathing, were directed towards her just in time to see silvery hair past by her.

"!" Kagome let out an unidentifiable sound as she realized the one with the silver hair was responsible for her eating the ground. She could feel herself coloring up with anger and wouldn't be surprised if her eyes were flashing red. As she thought of several nasty things that could possibly befall that individual who was the source of her current predicament, other students around her in the hallway began to notice the heat waves radiating off the girl. They all began to back away slowly, careful not to get her attention lest she turn her anger on them.

Calm down, calm down. Think of bunnies. Cute little bunnies. And sunshine...and rainbows... Rainbows are so pretty...and colorful...

With these thoughts in mind, Kagome felt herself calming down. That's right, cute little bunnies. She brushed off any possible speck of dirt she could have gathered on her skirt and gathered her runaway books. With a smile pasted on her face, she waved a little to her "audience" and quickly scrambled off to the dreaded lab. She didn't realize that her "audience" were gaping in her wake, baffled by her quick transformation of moods. Heck, they were just plain confused about the whole situation.

It was probably a good thing that she didn't see their reaction. It was doubtful that her "little bunnies" would be able to calm her down again.

About several students looked up as the door was rather forcefully pushed open, the impact making it ricochet against the wall. Kagome stood there, huffing and puffing, and sweatdropped as she realized the wide-eyed stares she was receiving from the students occupying the laboratory.

"Eh, heh heh heh..." Kagome stuttered, trying to remain inconspicious as she could under the circumstances and sneaked off to find a seat. Bunnies. Happy little bunnies. I'm just happy that the professor hasn't arrived yet.

Kagome was about to sit down, thankful that most of the students who stared her down were now turning away and going on with whatever they were doing before she became the source of attention, when she eyed someone across the room who actually hadn't turn around to see her crash into the room. She narrowed her eyes and saw that this certain somebody had something that was starting to make her blood boil. Silver hair.

Before she knew what was happening, she was pacing the length of the room, her strides calm and in step, until she was directly behind the silver-haired guy.

I mean, come on! How many guys with silver hair are out there? This has to be the same one that callously knocked me over without so much as a second glance!

Her hand acted out of its own accord, tapping his shoulder to get his attention. Kagome's breath hitched in her throat as soon as her eyes came in contact with his. Pure, golden eyes gazed intensely into hers. She couldn't remember what she wanted to say and her anger began to dissipate as she felt herself melting, oh so melting, under his deep probing amber eyes. For a second there, she saw surprise flare within his eyes...and then it shifted into something deeper, some emotion that Kagome could not identify. Well, maybe he was just in a hurry. He was running late just like me and I'm sure he didn't mean to knock me over. I mean, I also should've watched where I was going, too.

Kagome's thoughts were running in overdrive, full of happy thoughts and the famous cute little bunnies. Nothing could bring her down.

That is, nothing could until the silver-haired stranger opened his mouth.

"What the hell do you want, wench?"

And just like that, all the cute bunnies went swirling down the toilet along with Kagome's content mood.

She did the only thing that she could do under the circumstances, hearing her blood boil and start to simmer over the surface, knowing that she shouldn't do what she was about to do. But, hey, the bunnies were gone so technically this wasn't all her fault.

Kagome lifted her hand and gave him a loud, resounding smack across his face.

A/N: Dun dun dun...What's his reaction going to be? Review to find out! I would really appreciate at least four reviews so I can know whether I should continue on with this story or not.
