Kagome looked around the large cafeteria, frozen like a statue. She had no idea where to go. "Emi..." she murmured, "get your furry ass over here..." Someone tugged on her hair and she yelped. "No need for the vulgarity, Ka-chan!" Emi chirped. Behind her was Suichi, Sango, and Kirara. "C'mon, I'll show you where we sit..." Emi took off through the crowd. A moment later, screams were head. Sparks flew and there was loud growling. Suichi rolled his eyes. "Show off..." he muttered before walking through the crowd. Sango nudged her. "Yes, she's always like that in a crowd. Especially at lunch." Sango grinned and tugged her through the crowds.
At the table, Miroku was placing a bet with Shippou that he couldn't chug eight pints of milk.
"Can too!"
"Can't."
"Can too!"
"Can...not."
Shippou snatched a milk off of his tray. "Hey, hey, hey, now! That's mine!" Miroku leapt over the table and tackled Shippou, wrestling him for a milk. "BOYS!" a sharp, pinched, American voice shouted. They looked up and saw a tall birdlike woman, with a mullet, who looked rather annoyed. She was carrying a large container...full of milk cartons. Miroku gasped and bowed at her feet. "W-sama! I beg of you for a milk!...or two!...or possibly five!" She rolled her eyes. "Here, you damn pervert. Quit attacking Shippou, got it?" He bowed deeply and accepted the three milks she handed him. "Thank you for your hospitality!" he called as she walked away. She raised a hand over her shoulder in a dismissing wave.
"Suck up," Suichi mumbled, poking at his macaroni and cheese. He looked to another part of his tray, where his bread had been. Key word, HAD. He looked up at the most likely suspect. Emi.
"Emi...where did you take my bread...?" She grinned slightly. "You'll never know!" She took her milk and shook it a little. "But here, a thank you for your sharing nature." He accepted, and she sat next to him.
Sango and Kirara were trading food, also, with kids at other tables. Or, rather, bullying them into it.
Kagome sat down next to Inuyasha, at the end of one side of the table.
(A/N: Just so you don't get confused, I'll put where who is. The table is rectangular. This is in order on both sides of the table.
Kagome, Inuyasha, Shippou, Kirara
Sango, Miroku, Suichi, Emi
Hope that cleared it up a bit.)
Inuyasha shuffled a bit when she sat down. He felt a bit awkward being around her, especially after how she had cleaned his wounds in their first period class. She gave him a half smile and turned to her food. "Er, anyone know what in the Seven Hells this is?" she asked the group, poking the "meal." Sango was the first to respond, saying, "That, Kagome, is the delightful cuisine of our school. Today, I think we have a delicate pasta," tapping the food with a spork for effect, "with a cheesy sauce."
Emi grunted. She had collected 5 rolls of bread, and was done for the timebeing. "Emi, for example, knows what is edible and what is not, for she has been here the longest. Emi?"
"Ah, thank you, Sango. You see, your basic bread roll is cyanide-free, while all pastas and vegetables have hidden poisons and inedible objects hidden within them. Cheese has the most deadly chemicals in it, something similar to what you'd find at a nuclear waste treatment plant." She nodded towards Miroku's collection of milks. "At times, milk can also be contaminated. It may become thick and pastelike. Another common defect in milk is a syrupy texture. Sticky and stretchable."
Kagome made a face, full of disgust. "Did I have to hear about this?" The group nodded. "Better safe than sorry!" Kirara added. Groaning, Kagome bit a piece off of her bread. "Well, at least I'm safe with this.."
After School
Walking towards his locker, a shower of stone, metal, and glass rained upon a silver haired hanyou. He whimpered, seeking shelter beneath his hoodie. The onslaught became thicker, as shouts of, "Go crawl under a rock!" and, "Go back to the Hellhole you came from!" screamed at him from almost every direction. He was circled by enemies.
Circled. Trapped.
No way out.
Kagome pushed her way through the crowd. "Move, you fucking idio-.." She stopped and stared in shock. Surrounded by angry faces, Inuyasha was curled into the fetal position on the ground. "Oh...oh my Gods..." she mumbled, coming out of her stupor. "STOP! Get the fuck away from him, you bastards!" She pushed through them and glared. "Get the Hell outta here, assholes." A whisper ran through the crowd. "Who's she?" "What's she doing with the fuckface?" "Why's she standing up for the mutt?" The crowd dispersed, leaving an empty silence. She kneeled beside him, putting his head into her lap like he had done at the Void. "C'mon, please be okay...I don't need to have a new friend go into a coma on my first day of school..." Tears streamed down her face and he shifted in her lap. "Inuyasha...?" she whispered quietly, as he opened his gold eyes. His lip was split, there were cuts under his eyes, but he was alive, and awake.
And in serious pain.
At that moment, Emi, Suichi, Sango, and Miroku ran from around a corner. Emi's and Suichi's ears were flattened in anger, Miroku looked sad and upset, and Sango looked like she was ready to kill someone. Emi yelped and skidded across the tiled floor. "THOSE BASTARDS!" she growled, followed by Suichi. Miroku narrowed his eyes and kneeled beside Inuyasha, putting an arm around him to help him up. "C'mon, lets get outta here..."
A/N: Well..third chapter's now up, I s'pose...I dun really think it's that good, but I can't think of anything else to put in it. And I had to update quickly, because a dear friend and fellow author was threatening to put viruses in my food so I wouldn't be able to type...unless I quickly updated. Voila! Oh, yes, review responsetime!
