Chapter Two
"What's your problem Kikyou?" a girl with long, black hair asked. "Can't you see she didn't know where she was going?" anger was now rising within her; her eyebrow began to twitch.
"Sango, why don't you just back off and mind your own business." Kikyou suggested in a very dangerous tone.
"Just because you're captain of the cheerleading team doesn't make special you in any way," Sango said fiercely, narrowing her eyes as she did so.
"Yes it does. Now don't be jealous, Sango," the cheerleader said with fake cheer as she pushed Sango aside roughly and walked away.
"Hey, you okay?" Sango asked, concern lacing in with her words as she advanced towards the girl.
"Yeah, I'm fine; and thanks for sticking up for me. I'm Kagome, by the way." Kagome was now relieved at the fact that someone had her back in this hell hole of a school; she smiled brightly in Sango's direction.
"No problem; I'm Sango. You probably know by the way, since that Kikyou girl mentioned it." She paused and narrowed her eyes. "Gosh; I just hate Kikyo to death." she stated, anger rising into her voice as her hand twitched to punch something. She paused and changed the subject; "You must be new here, Kagome." she assumed.
"Yeah, I am new." She replied and shuffled her feet, looking at the ground as her raven tresses fell over her shoulders.
"If you want I can show you around the school," Sango offered politely with a slight smile on her face.
"That'd be great! Can you show me where the math room is; I think it's my first class," Kagome said, with a sheepish grin on her face.
"That's my first class today, too. Come on; follow me, I'll show you," She suggested brought, as she lead Kagome down the long hallway.
"Wow, it's huge." Kagome exclaimed in awe as she stepped in the room. It had white walls with black chairs and black tables liked up in rows of six down the room.
"If you think this is big wait 'till I show you our gym." Sango grinned.
Then a man with a white and green striped shirt with black pants and big tie entered the room. "Class!" he yelled. "Take your seats." He instructed. Slowly, everyone shuffled to their seats lazily and they unhurriedly turned their attention towards the front to the teacher.
"I'd like to introduce you a new student, and I'd like for all of you to welcome her to our school." The said new student slowly made her way towards the front as the teacher motioned to her with his hand. "This is Kagome Higurashi," He turned to her with a kind smile. "I'm Mr. Kuro, your math teacher; on behalf of the rest of the class, I'd like to say, welcome to our school. And if you may please take your seat at the back beside InuYasha in the corner," he pointed to the said person.
'Just my luck, out of all people, why do I have to sit beside InuYasha?' she thought in mild annoyance as she fought to keep her face expressionless. As she made her way to the empty seat, a brown haired boy eyed her as she walked past him.
When she was seated, she turned her head slightly every now and then to manage to get a glimpse of InuYasha. 'He's so cute,' she thought to herself. 'I can't blame him for wondering why I was in the boys change room,' she thought but was suddenly snapped back to reality when her pencil made a thump as it hit the hard floor. She bent down to get it when a hand met up with hers. She looked up to see who it was and saw InuYasha.
"Sorry about earlier," she whispered to him lowly, so she wouldn't disturb her new classmates.
"Forget about it, I mean, I was the one that hit you down with the door," he reminded her with a slight grin. It was then when she noticed that her face and his face were now inches apart from each others and she started to blush furiously. 'She's actually pretty cute.' InuYasha thought as he handed her pencil back.
"Thanks," she replied and sat back down now realizing that Kikyou had gave her a look that clearly said: Back off InuYasha.
After class, Kagome waited for Sango to come out, when Kikyou decided to make herself known to Kagome. 'Oh great, the witch has arrived,' Kagome muttered in her head, smirking a little at the thought she came up with.
"I told you to keep your hands off him, Higurashi," Kikyou said in a nasty and jealous way as her eyes were now full of fight.
That was then when Sango stepped in, "Just leave her alone Kikyou, nobody likes you and that includes InuYasha." Sango deadpanned with a sweat drop at her stupidity. "And why would he like an idiot like you," Sango commented with a wicked grin as she grabbed Kagome's hand and walked off.
"Thanks again," Kagome said with a grateful smile on her face.
"Don't worry; I got your back Kagome, and plus we're friends and what are friends for?" Sango said happily with a grin that matched Kagome's.
There was silence for a while when Kagome brought up to the subject of InuYasha. "Who is he anyway?" Kagome asked, curiously, cocking her head to one side in confusion.
"He's just some popular kid that all the girls go gaga over," Sango replied in a oh-so casual voice that made Kagome sweat drop slightly.
"So, um, he must have a girlfriend, right?" Kagome asked hesitantly.
"The truth is that he doesn't have one, all the girls are way too insane over him" Sango replied with a small smirk.
"How do you know so much about him?"
"He's my boyfriends best friend. I'll introduce you to you to my boyfriend on the way." She replied. "How come your asking me all these questions Kagome?" Sango asked, turning to her.
"No reason; just curious, that's all." she answered hastily with a nervous smile on her face, hoping that Sango wouldn't press the matter further. Sango cast the girl a knowing look.
"Sure you are. I saw you blush at InuYasha in class. Admit it; you like him, don't you?" Sango said with a smug grin on her face.
"No, I don't," Kagome added quickly as she turned her head away from Sango knowing her cheeks were red. "What's our next class?" Kagome asked, hoping to change the subject.
"I'm not in this class the one you're going to, but just go down the hall and make a left and you'll see the gym." Sango said as she waved Kagome goodbye.
"Today we will be learning Karate." said Ms. Haruna; their gym teacher. "You will be paired up with a partner that I will choose." She paused for a while before her gaze landed on Kagome. "Kagome your first, your partner will be Kikyou," 'Why out of everyone, why does it have to be her,' Kagome thought with a heavy sigh to herself. " 'This really isn't my day,' she thought wryly.
"What?-! I can't work with that freak," Kikyou stated blankly, her eyes narrowing.
"Well, you have no other choice or to fail this class." The teacher replied blankly.
Kikyou paused and sighed.
"Fine, I'll do it," Kikyou groggily agreed, cursing the teacher under her breath.
Ms. Haruna taught them how to flip your partner and how to block an attack such as a punch or a kick. "I told you to back off." Kikyou said in a deadly tone as she took Kagome's hand ready to flip her. But instead Kagome broke free and turned around so Kikyou was behind her she took Kikyou's arm and flipped her over her back.
Everyone looked at her in amazement. "I forgot to tell you Kikyou, I'm a black belt in karate so don't try to mess with me," Kagome said proudly while eyeing her crumpled form with distaste.
'Wow; she's cute, funny and can beat the crap out of Kikyou,' InuYasha thought, who by the way, was really impressed (but kept his face static). When everyone was leaving, Kikyou got up, her eyes full of anger. She made a fist ready to punch Kagome from behind, but her fist was stopped by InuYasha. "Don't even try," he warned as he let go of her hand.
When class was over Ms. Haruna asked Kagome and InuYasha to fix the mats.
"Thanks for saving me," Kagome said.
"No problem. I'm sure you could have took her down if you saw her coming," InuYasha complimented as Kagome blushed madly.
"So is Kikyou your friend?" she asked, genuinely interested.
"No, not even. Her and her insane friends are always after me. It's really pathetic that they even come after me because never in my life would I date any of them," InuYasha said half yelling, expecting Kikyou to hear what he said; his eyebrow began to twitch in annoyance.
"Really." Kagome asked as she put the last of mats away.
"Yeah; I like girls who are cute, smart and can kick ass." He paused and smirked. "Sort of like you," he said, discreetly winking in her direction. That only made Kagome blush.
"I'll she you later InuYasha," Kagome said as she walked away with a smile, not responding to his confession.
"Kagome! There you are; I've been looking for you everywhere," Sango said as she panted slightly for emphasis. "I'd like you to meet my boyfriend." She smiled slightly as she motioned to the boy that was standing next to her.
"Hi, I'm Miroku," he said politely with a small smile on his face.
"I'm Kagome." she said as she introduced herself. Miroku had black hair pulled back into a small ponytail with purple eyes and was very nice, Kagome mused silently.
During lunch time, Sango hurried to a table to save Kagome and Miroku, and InuYasha seats. When Kagome got her food she was looking for Sango ,when she saw Sango waving at her as a sigh to come ad sit with her.
As she was walking she stepped in some water and slipped when someone caught her.
A/N- Hey everyone, I hoped you like this chapter, and just to let you know the person who caught Kagome isn't InuYasha. Please read and review when your done.
