I'm skipping to Monday.
Chapter 7: Inuyasha's First Day Of School
Ding! Ding! Ding! The alarm clock rung. Inuyasha growled. He hated waking up to that sound. He had woken up to all last week, while Kagome was going to school on her own and left him to learn with Mrs. Higurashi. He had to admit he had learned a lot though. He was a very fast learner and figured it was because of his blood. Royalty tended to have an ability for learning, especially when you were royal in demon and human terms. A princess for a mother and a lord for a father.
"Come on." Kagome said tiredly to Inuyasha as she sat up in her bed. "You're coming to school with me today. Mom has your uniform downstairs."
"Uniform?" He had been explained why he had to wear it and hated the idea of wearing something so tight. He especially hated the idea of shoes. His uniform was black, like all the other boys in Kagome's school. He also had black adidas, with white stripes to go with it.
Kagome had filed his claws the night before. By that night they would be sharp again, but they would be filed down for the day. He was allowed to where a hat to school. Kagome had gotten it excused, telling the school that he was religious. He hated the hat as much as the shoes.
"I'm coming." Inuyasha sat up. Unlike Kagome, he had no problems getting up early. He was always getting up and getting like no sleep. It was nothing new to him. It wasn't new for Kagome either, but she was only human.
Kagome moved the blankets off of her completely and got up. She walked to the door and looked back at Inuyasha.
"Hurry, you can't be late on your first day."
"Yeah, yeah." Inuyasha got up a little shakily, trying to brush off his sleep.
Kagome walked out of the room and into the bathroom. Her things were all already in there. She had kept them in there all week, since Inuyasha had been occupying her rooms in the mornings.
She began to get herself ready.
Later/ On Kagome and Inuyasha's walk to school
Kagome and Inuyasha walked peacefully. Inuyasha would make an annoyed sound every so often. He was really annoyed with the hat and shoes.
Kagome was slowly getting more and more ticked off with the sound of Inuyasha's annoyance.
"Will you stop?" Kagome asked in a frustration filled tone. Inuyasha looked at her as if shocked.
"How can you even where these things?" He asked incredulously. "They're... horrible! My feet can't breath. No one." He crossed his arms. Kagome gave him a questioning look.
"No more?"
"You're not wearing that anymore in the feudal era. When we get back there you're wearing clothes that allow you to move."
"Inuyasha, unlike you, I'm used to these cloths. They're not a problem for me to wear."
"They are a problem.. for anyone." He crossed his arms over his chest. His hair was tied back in a down ponytail and his uniform was more lose than the normal ones the men wore in Kagome's school. Inuyasha insisted in having some air. His hat matched his uniform. It was black with a white crescent moon on it, which was the only thing that made it look in anyway 'religious'.
"They're a problem for you." She stopped talking when she saw they had reached the school. They had been on time, which was good. It would give Inuyasha a couple minutes to meet some new people. Of course Inuyasha wasn't the sociable type and would probably start a fight before he made a friend.
"Hey there!" Kagome and Inuyasha turned to the voice that greeted them. Choyuu stood with a grin that slowly mowed across his face. Kagome had a feeling in her gut making her want to run and hide. The look on his face was the obvious face that meant he had some perverted comment he was about to shout to the world about Inuyasha and Kagome. "You're finally here." Choyuu said to Inuyasha who only nodded.
"Yeah, well..." Kagome ducked a little and put a hand behind Inuyasha and tried to push him forward.
"So... you two seem happy together. You use your 'benefits' yet?" Choyuu questioned. Kagome blushed.
"Inuyasha, you're here." Wakai came up with Shiyuu and Takamura followed behind him.
"Finally." Takamura stated. "We thought you were never going to make it and move back to America."
"America?" A girl voice interrupted from somewhere. The voice seemed interested. The girl pushed past Choyuu to stand face to face with Inuyasha and Kagome. 'Nozomi.' Kagome sighed. The classic guy stealer stood there. She had shoulder length black hair and dull blue eyes. She wore her uniform like all the others, but trimmed the skirt. "You're a new kid?" Nozomi asked Inuyasha. He gave Kagome a questioning look. She nodded.
"Yeah, what of it?" He snapped. Everyone gave him a somewhat confused glance. Inuyasha didn't like the way this girl was making Kagome feel and so he had become protective. He could sense her uncomfortable condition as soon as this girl had spoke. He had smelt the anxiety and hated it.
"I was just wondering." Nozomi answered. Inuyasha grunted a little and crossed his arm, trying not to glare. After Nozomi's moment or surprise she tried to smile. "Well, since you're new, maybe you'd like someone to show you around. I can clue you in on all of the things going on."
"He's already been clued in." Kagome answered for Inuyasha. Nozomi looked at 'Higurashi' with a slight jealous wonder.
"Higurashi showed you?"
"Kagome did." Inuyasha replied. Kagome's mood seemed to be slowly cooling. She was obviously happy with the way Inuyasha was dealing with this girl before him. 'He's talking to her like a villager he dislikes...' Kagome thought. 'Which means he ignored my advice...' She squinted a little, but decided since she would rather have him treat Nozomi this way than have her all over him, that she could let it pass.
"She showed you all the things you'll need to know.. including what kind of people are cool." She smiled. "And not." She looked to Kagome. Kagome felt her eye twitch.
"I don't need someone to tell me how to see people." Inuyasha's hand slipped to Kagome's side and Kagome's eyes widened in stun as Inuyasha pulled her closer.
"Well.." Nozomi became more jealous each moment. She had liked this character as soon as she had seen him and him being all over Kagome like that would not do. She had nothing to say though. "Stay with Higurashi for now, but later.." She grinned. "You'll be crawling to me... Hojo will beat you up if he sees you all over his woman like that." Kagome immediately hated Nozomi for bringing up that subject.
"'His' woman?" Inuyasha growled a little. "Tell me.. who is this Hoho guy?"
"Hey Nozomi, shut your trap." Takamura's voice interrupted. "Hojo ain't the type to fight and Kagome doesn't belong to him. You're just mad Inuyasha ain't all over you."
"Takamura you should be more careful when you speak to me." Nozomi got in his face with a wicked glare. Takamura's eyes narrowed a little.
"How about this.." He stepped back a little. "You're cut. We're through." He walked off. Nozomi stood there in surprise. She had just been dumped in front of all these people. She looked around in shame.
"You did it to yourself." Wakai commented. "You shouldn't be hanging all over one guy while you're dating another." Wakai of course couldn't stand Nozomi because of the way she was. Takamura was a good friend of his and one of the best in the bunch. He didn't deserve someone like Nozomi hurting him and going off cheating.
"You shut up." Nozomi gave him a cold stare before walking off to find herself a new man, well.. not find one, more like catch one. Inuyasha. She knew the perfect way to do it. Get Hojo. She would could persuade Hojo into a fight with Inuyasha. Hojo didn't looks so tough, but Nozomi had seen him fight before and he was no push over. She figured once Hojo beat Inuyasha, Inuyasha would stay away from Kagome and go running to her. (A/N: Little does she know.. Inuyasha's no push over either)
Since Hojo cared for Kagome and just happened to be Nozomi's cousin, Nozomi figured she could convince him.
"Who the hell is Hoho?" Inuyasha was still caught on the subject.
"Hojo, Inuyasha. It's Hojo." Kagome corrected with a sigh.
"I don't care if it's Hojo, homo, or hobo. Who is he?"
"He's just someone." Kagome answered.
"Someone as in...?"
"Someone you don't need to know just yet." 'Hopefully we can get through the day without them crossing paths.' Kagome could hear a ringing sound and turned towards the school to see the kids entering. "Come on." Kagome grabbed Inuyasha's sleeve and began to drag him in.
"Hey!" Inuyasha wasn't so enthusiastic about being pulled around. Kagome brought him into the school. All the teens went to their lockers and to homeroom. Since Inuyasha had no locker yet, he had to wait for Kagome.
Inuyasha followed Kagome into the first class, along with Takamura and Shiyuu right behind. Nozomi came in alongside Hojo.
"Okay first we have to get you introduced." Kagome whispered to Inuyasha. He nodded. Kagome and her mother had already explained the procedure and everything. He would go to his classes and learn and tell everyone who he was and what not.
He wasn't to happy with the thought of learning. He knew all he would need to know for the feudal era. This school this was just a waist of time.
"Excuse me." Kagome began to the teacher who sat at her desk. The teacher was the cruelest teacher in the world and hated students who were always tardy and didn't do to well. Meaning Kagome. Kagome didn't like the teacher to much, because she acted this way and so she was a little worried about introducing Inuyasha. She didn't want this teacher to get the wrong idea about Inuyasha, just because of her. "Mrs. Hamada?" The woman at the desk placed her papers down slowly and moved her glasses so they would be set on the tip of her nose and under her eyes.
"Yes?" Mrs. Hamada questioned. Kagome stood a little taller.
"We have a new student here. The office wanted me to introduce him since his papers weren't fully processes yet."
"And what gives you the idea you had to initiate him. Is he not capable of introducing himself?" The teacher snapped. Kagome felt her patience dissipating.
"I was asked.."
"Answer the question Ms. Higurashi."
"I am.."
"Will you just shut your trap and listen to what she has to say you old hag." Inuyasha bit out. Ms. Hamada was a little taken aback and the students were all a little in awe and admiration.
"Well I never.." The teacher held her hand to her heart, as though she had been shot. "I am going to have to submit a referral for that young man."
"Referral?" Inuyasha looked over to Kagome. Kagome looked at him and then the teacher.
"Please." Kagome began. "It's his first day. He was.. ah.. saying something he got off a movie. His language skills aren't so wonderful." Kagome lied. The teacher gave Kagome a look that soaked into the soul and could pull put any lies. Kagome had covered it very well in the teachers eye.
"Alright. One last chance. Now speak. Who are you?"
"Inuyasha."
"Inuyasha who?"
"Inuyasha."
"Inuyasha who?"
"What about him?" Inuyasha asked as him and the teacher began a never ending conversation.
"What is your last name sir?"
"He doesn't have one." Kagome interrupted.
"You have no surname?" Inuyasha was confused with the question. Kagome realized in this modern era you must have a last name. She wasn't really thinking clearly.
"Actually it's InuTaisho. Inuyasha InuTaisho." Kagome replied. Inuyasha began to understand. Just like Kagome had two names - Kagome and Higurashi - he now had two - Inuyasha and InuTaisho.
"Alright than Mr. InuTaisho, take a seat."
"Call me Inuyasha." Inuyasha walked to a seat the was empty beside Kagome.
"Geez, Inuyasha." Shiyuu looked upon in high regard.
"You called her an old hag and everything." Takamura laughed a little. "Good job, but you better be a little more careful. If you get a little more serious with the teaches will get you kicked out of here. They're dying to see some more students fail. High school teachers are way to strict."
"Kicked out?" Inuyasha wasn't really to caught up on the consequences.
"I'll tell you about it later." Kagome whispered. Inuyasha nodded. There was the sound of the bell and the students moved on to their next period classes.
Later
Inuyasha slugged over as he walked to sidewalk, beside Kagome. She wasn't as warn down as him, but she was used to sitting through classes. Inuyasha on the other hand loved to be up and about.
"You were way to fidgety." Kagome commented out of no where. Inuyasha looked to her.
"What?"
"You wouldn't stop moving and talking and interrupting and insulting the teachers.. that's definitely a bad first impression.. today was your first day and they gave you a break, but soon they'll start suspending you and stuff... which is when they take you out of the school for a few days or even longer, much longer. They can kick you out for good. Mom won't let you stay at the shrine if she thinks you're a bad influence Inuyasha. You got to be more calm in class." Kagome leaned her head against his shoulder as they walked. He was tense at first, but then just leaned into her as well. So they supported one another as they walked.
"Whatever. I don't see what the big deal is."
"Just try and do better. For my sake and yours."
"Okay. For you than." Inuyasha wrapped one arm around Kagome's shoulder. For some reason this show of affection wasn't to surprising to Kagome. They were growing closer each day.
That's the end of that chapter. More romance coming up soon. I liked ending it with a little fluff.
