Hey hey people. Here is another chapter. I needed to motivate my lazy selfinto writing it. I think I did an alright job. Least I hope I did. Toodle Pip!
Disclaimer: I sadly do not own Inuyasha. :(
After meeting Sango's "gang" Rin dragged me to 1st hour with the rest of them. I mean literally dragged me. You'd think I couldn't walk. The first hour that we had was Physics and Chemistry combined. A weird combination because the theories of them are totally opposite. Anyway we got there and the teach , a Mr. Swankco or something of that general area, gave me a seat next to Rin seeing we've "become great buddy buddy" already. The class was a normal science room, the usual lab tables and those stools you have to jump a foot high in order to hope you land on it.
Our seats were in the back with the rest. The labs were 2 to a table. So in the corner it was Me then Rin. In front of us was Miroku and Inuyasha. To our left table was Sango and Ayame. And it seemed that Sessoumaru and Shippo were at a table at the far left corner. I thought it was an unlikely duo but it seemed to work because Shippo seemed dazed and ' Out of Commission' while staring at the black lighted fish tank. The bell rang and everyone's heads jerked towards the blackboard up front because Mr. Swanky, what ever his name was, started writing some stuff in chalk. Even Rin seemed attentive because in between painting her nails she'd jot down a couple notes.
As for me I had taken this class when I was a freshman so I took out my notebook and reviewed more information about Yura. She seemed to be a hair demon and has been killing people for their hair. Can you say gross. But my opinion isn't part of the job. From her profile she's only attacked humans so that doesn't give me much about her strength. But some how she'd run into a stronger demon and gave the info about the whereabouts about one of my sources runners. She probably wouldn't be on the hit list if that demon she leaked to wasn't a police. O well her bad judgment just got her a written death contract the second she dripped a word. I looked at her picture. She had reddish eyes and short black hair. She a porcelain skin. I couldn't find a trace of emotion on her face. Well, not at least in this picture. She looked like she was in mall and she stared right at the camera. So she knew she was targeted.
I noticed the teacher stopped writing on the board and the rest of the class was working. Except that is the 'gang'. Rin was very intent on her nails. Seemed Sango and Ayame were working on a worksheet, I couldn't see far enough for Sessoumaru and Shippo, Miroku was looking ahead at some girls, and I looked directly into gold eyes on my next target. He, well Inuyasha, was looking over his shoulder and gave me a fair warning glare. I glared right back. He doesn't have the right to do that for no reason. Asshole. God, what'd I do to him. Anyway in the knick of time the bell rang. I threw all my stuff together and started to hurry out the door. I heard Rin and Sango calling out my 'fake' name but I heeded to attention. I just had to get away from them before they acquainted with me even more.
After I thought I got pretty good distance from them I looked down at my schedule. Sango did say I had classes with all of them. If I went back and asked for a switch at the office after one class it'd look a little conspicuous. And I don't have the resources to screw this up.
I glanced at the map trying to get my bearings. I had to see them again anyway. Why did I just run out of there like that? I'm so dumb, now they're going to think something's up. Great, just great. I was on the other side of the school from where my next class was. Perfect, now I was going to be late, walk in the room, and have everyone gawk at me. Just super. I started making my west to the west wing of the school.
The starting bell just rang when I was at the beginning of the West Wing hall. I walked passively to the room and stood outside the wooden door. It had one of those windows that were blurred. Those ones that you always see in law movies or the police precincts. Printed on the door was 'Advanced Geometric Calculus'. I smirked at it. I had taken that when I was a sophomore. I stood outside the door for quite sometime. Just thinking if I should really go in. I shrugged to myself and decided that I'd tell them that I'd forgotten something in my locker. Which was in the North Wing, so it's believable that I'd late. If I walked like a slug. Oh well they'd have to be content with my lie. I put my hand on the smooth but cold handle and turned it.
The whole class turned their heads towards the door. I felt my cheeks start to burn instantly. I may be an assassin but I could still feel embarrassment. I looked and spotted Sango and Rin in the back going through some magazines. I didn't get look for anyone else because the teacher grabbed my attention. She was old, but had a defiance in her stance. This lady didn't take any crap. I looked at the board in search for her name. The board just seemed to hold back on what was written. It had the smoky fog of a just erased board. She may have been shorter then me, but she seemed to think she was starring 'me' down. Too bad I let no one under my skin. Ever since I left not one person got to me, and some how in some sick way I was proud of that.
"You must be the newbie. I am your Math teacher Ms. Keade (sp?). Please take a seat."
I nodded dumbly giving her the impression that she had succeeded in intimidating me. I took the nearest empty seat which so happened to next to Inuyasha. Could my day get any better. Sense my sarcasm. At least tonight I'd be able to vent my frustrations on Yura. I plunked down in my seat not looking at the 'gang'. I could feel their stares though and I heard their not so quiet whispers about wondering why I had attempted a disappearing act. After an amount of time though they stopped and looked ahead or went back to their magazine. I could still feel his stare so I flipped to page in my notebook that I had been doodling in and started writing a message.
(in the Notebook: '' is Kagome and "" is Inuyasha)
'WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!' I threw it over on his desk. Without taking his gaze from me he reached in his backpack for a pen and finally read the notebook. He clicked his pen while reading even though it was one sentence he seemed to take a while. Dumbass. After a moment he scribbled something in black ink and threw it back over.
"Obviously nothing" Nothing else. Just that. THAT ASS. I couldn't believe. He didn't even know me. God, the nerve. Oh well I didn't want to know him anyway. I couldn't help looking back and think for a second about those gold eyes. NO! I couldn't get involved. I had to erase that from my memory. I glared at him, it was all I could do with out making a scene. I looked at the clock still 30 minutes of class, damn. And it was only 2nd hour with these people. I couldn't wait to leave this prison entirely and get to work. My real work later tonight. I guess you have to really pathetic if you have to look forward to hit. I mean really really pathetic.
I decided I wasn't going to review Yuras profile again with Mr. Bastard sitting right next to me. For the next 20 minutes was utter boredom. I'm not a patient person and so for that grueling time in bounced my foot and tapped my pencil and chewed my gum to keep myself busy. I was burning a hole in the clock, watching the little tick arrow. The superstition was true. If you watch the clock time DOES go slower. 10 minutes YAY! Then I remembered that I had class again after this. That killed my happy mood. I looked at my schedule again, next I had gym. Hope we weren't doing something dumb, I really needed to beat something up, or exercise the crap out of me to kill my frustration.
When then bell rang I waited for Sango and Rin. Unfortunately, I had to admit to myself that I needed help getting around the school. Sango smiled and took my arm again and started chatting away. I couldn't believe this girl could have that much breath in her. We arrived at the gym and we started walking through to get to the girls locker room. I looked at the walls. On side was all bleachers while the other had show cases across the whole with old weapons from ages ago to the schools trophies. I stared at all the weapons. This was my paradise. I saw bows, and swords. A big boomerang thing and few staffs. There was sparring armor. Knives and blade stars. Smoke bombs, holy papers, EVERYTHING. I was in heaven.
A thought struck me then. Did we get to use these or did they sit in the show cases and get dusty. Before I started drooling Sango dragged me into the locker rooms. It smelled weird and it stung my nose. The perfume smell was so strong that I almost passed out. Sango brought me up to a door, most likely the teachers office, and knocked. A woman with red brown stood there. She was small , but built and she had the eyes of a true leader. Sango introduced me to, Ms. Ryzo, and she gave me my gym clothes. Sango found a gym locker near hers and showed me how to use the weird locks. I started thinking about the weapons again and asked Sango if we use them. She smiled and gave soft chuckle. Like I was stupid.
" Of course we use them. That's the class were. Training or Extended Weaponry. Silly girl." She smiled more and punctuated her words by giving a tight tug at her shoes. I finished dressing and we made our way out of the gym. There was at least 30 people in the class. Most of them were demons. No surprise. I saw Inuyasha talking to some girl with black hair. When Inuyasha turned a certain way to talk to Miroku I saw her and we caught each others eye. I swore I was looking into a mirror. She looked almost the same me, uncanny if you were to glance at us. I noticed her face was a bit harder in a way. She was about to walk over when Ms.Ryzo came out and shouted for us to get in groups of 2. I saw everyone quickly grabbing partners. I didn't matter to me who I got I'd kick their ass to moon and back. Sango went with Ayame, Miroku with Shippo, Sessoumaru went with Rin, and I got stuck with Inuyasha.
We just stared at each other. His eyes glared fire, and I glared his equal. I had no reason, but I just didn't plain like him. He seemed so arrogant. He twitched his head to get his hair over his shoulder. I took the hair tie I had and put my hair up. You never want to go down in a fight just because of stupid annoyance or mistake. For instance blindness by your hair. Ms. Ryzo called names one by one to come and choose a weapon. While waiting for my turn I couldn't think of which one I wanted to use. I figured that most of the boys would choose swords but most of them had a very diverse array of choices. Sango picked out the big boomerang thing, and Miroku chose a staff. The other chose pretty original stuff. I saw Inuyasha grab an old looking sword. He thought I was some weak girl who could be beat. He came and stood by me after he made his choice.
"Do you know what weapon you want? Or do you even know what half of these are called" He smirked at the end of his sentence thinking he won some big round. On a normal occasion I wouldn't let this pass by, but I decided to save it and pent it up for the fight. When my name was called I chose two hand swords. There considerably shorter then a regular sword, but bigger then daggers. And besides the bow I was best at this weapon. And since we were sparing I needed a hand to hand weapon. Perfect.
We all went outside with our equipment to a huge field. At least 5 or 6 football fields long. Ms. Ryzo gave some speech about sportsmanship and safety. I could tell nobody was listening. They must get this everyday. Anyway after the 5 minute pep talk everyone spread out among the field. Inuyasha and I made our way to a far corner. Less ways to run into people.
" Ready to lose? Because you know I am the best in my class."
"Do you practice that in the mirror every morning or are you normally stupid?" I saw his eyebrow twitch and I heard a small rumble come from his chest. So he could give it, but didn't like taking it. Ah ha! A weakness already.
"I'd be able to smell if you were dangerous. Your only some human girl who has no chance even against a half-demon." Ooo he had to resort to the whole 'your only human' speech. I must've ticked him real easy. He has a short fuse. Weakness number two. Yay for me. He's going to make this easy for me.
"We'll see who has more of the 'weak human' gene." He full out growled at me on that one. If I knew anything about half-demons was that they all lusted to be full demons. Anything dealing with the 'human world' was considered insignificant. I'll show him.
We stood about 20 feet apart and waited for the whistle. When the high pitched screech sounded Inuyasha rushed towards me. I saw him jump up in the air and came down with a punch that I dodged by moving to the side. He crumbled the dirt where his fist impacted. I flicked out the hand swords from back and shoved their hilts to the back of his head, but he was too quick. We landed about 10 feet from each other. He started another attack and he ran toward me. instead of going up he went down and tripped my legs from underneath me. I got the wind knocked out of me and he put his hand around my throat. He smirked. He thinks he won.
He was so wrong. I slashed my left hand to his wrist giving him a little cut, and I brought my right and sword near his face giving him a surprise so he let me go. The second he did I jumped up and slammed both my feet into his chest we fell over and I landed on top of him. He took both my wrists in his and flipped us over. I struggled for a moment then I got an idea. If fighting was one half of the male brain, what was the second half you ask. Women, girls, and all that applies. He may have had me pinned, but not for long. I moved my hips up and down, grinding them. His face paled completely and he put his face down. In his moment I pushed him off and did a back kip to get up. He was still on the ground looking mad as hell. I just smiled. He got up and had scowl set in his face.
"Alls fair in love and war." Was all I said.
He pulled his cracked up sword from it's sheath. He gave a twitch of his wrist and it lighted up and a fire went down its metal. It became a huge fang of sorts. He swung around and rested it on his shoulders. I didn't let it faze me, but now the risks were a lot higher. I exercised my handiwork with the hand swords and got into a fighting stance again. I breathed in and on my out breath I attacked.
The moved fast and jumped above him. He brought his sword up for defense and I crossed my blades so his wouldn't come crashing down on me. For a least a few minutes we just sparred with our swords. Each of gaining and losing ground at times. I was beginning a slight sweat and I reveled in it. I hadn't had a good challenge in a long time. I saw that he was becoming more serious about he fight now and started giving his all. The fight suddenly became more powerful. After a few steps back I realized I was losing. He was gaining ground. I ducked on one swing and attempted an attack on his legs. It didn't follow though when I had gotten back up his sword tangled with my two and he flipped them out of my hand and did a twister kick to my shins. I fell and his sword was at my throat. I lost.
