Chapter 5

Kagome watched from the sidelines as the karate class practiced with the teacher. She noticed that Sango and Inuyasha seemed bored. "Ok! Enough of warm up. I would like to see how our new students are." The karate teacher said. Sango and Inuyasha stepped forward. "What belt were you guys before you came to this school?" he asked.

"Black belt." They said in unison.

"Will it be alright if I put my best on you?" the teacher asked.

"Bring it on!" Inuyasha said, pumped up.

Sango nodded yes. "Give me your number one. You can give him your second."

"Feh. Let her. She needs to let out her stress." Inuyasha said. Wordless, the teacher called upon his second best student for Inuyasha.

The teacher waited for them to get their guards on. "The rules are that if you get your opponent onto the floor you win. A clean hit will be counted as half a point. 1 point and you win"

"Ganbade Inuyasha!" Kagome called from the sidelines.

"Feh." Inuyasha said as he tried to punch his opponent, Shuun, unfortunately he dodged.

"Get serious." Shuun said as he sent a kick towards Inuyasha.

"Humph." This time Inuyasha sent another punch, he succeeded.

"Clean hit! Half point to Inuyasha!" shouted the SK (score keeper).

"Now you die!" shouted Shuun as he lunged toward Inuyasha. But instead of Inuyasha getting hit, it was Shuun.

"Clean hit! Inuyasha one point! Inuyasha is the winner!" shouted the SK, totally into his part.

"Ahem." The teacher cleared his throat.

"Sumimasen!" said the score keeper a little embarrassed.

"Great job Inuyasha! I see you have earned the black belt. Please get it from me after class." The teacher said. With his face shining Inuyasha sat down.

"Hiroaki! You're up!" the teacher called.

Sango sighed a breath of relief as she saw it was a male she was up against. Kagome noticed this and smiled to herself.

This should be interesting. Inuyasha thought, with a grin on his face.

"You may began once you put your guards on." The teacher said. Hiroaki smirked at Sango as she pulled on her guards.

"I'll o easy on you." He said.

"I'd rather you not." She said. "I'm quite annoyed right now, that's not good for you."

"I'll kick your ass, if I get serious."

"Let's see you try. I'm afraid by the end of this it'll you that will have your ass kicked." Sango said with and expressionless face.

"Start!" the teacher said with impatience. Hiroaki charged forward sending a kick toward Sango, but instead of her getting kicked it was him on his ass. The class roared with laughter.

"Ahem." The teacher said, looking at the score keeper.

"Oh, my bad. Half point to Sango!" shouted the SK.

"Ganbade! Sango-chan!" Kagome shouted.

"That was just a fluke." Said Hiroaki.

"Get serious." Sango said as she sent a punch towards him. A smile twitched at her lips as he dodged it. Coming right back at Sango, Hiroaki tried to trip her, but failed.

"Oof." He said as she sent a clean hit at him.

"1 point! Sango wins!" shouted the score keeper, not believing what he saw.

"Why didn't you fight seriously?" Sango asked, anger edging into her voice.

"I didn't want to hurt you, plus you're a girl." Hiroaki answered.

"I hate guys like you. Think you're all that when you aren't. Then you make up some lame excuse to get out of the shame." Sango said disgusted. She turned away and walked towards the rest of the class.

"That was a great job! You'll also get a black belt from me after class. I'm very glad I have you two as my students." The teacher said.

"Thank you sensei." Sango said politely.

"I would like to talk about those two matches. Anyone have any comments?"

"That was great!" Kagome said to Sango as they sat down on the bus.

"It's nothing, he wasn't going at his full energy." Sango said, the disgust was still in her voice.

"You think that's good? Wait till you see her with her boomerang." A voice came from behind Sango. Both girls turned around to see Miroku there munching on a bag of chips.

"Miroku? Shouldn't you have taken the normal bus? Or do you have an after school club?" Kagome asked surprised.

Miroku chuckled, "Nah, I was watching Sango kick some serious ass."

"You mean you were there? How come I didn't see you?" Kagome asked.

"Tried not to catch any attention, guess it worked." He replied.

"Sup, Miroku! Where were you at lunch?" Inuyasha asked as he sat down next to him.

"I was busy checking out if there were any interesting clubs. Turned out there weren't any." He said.

"That reminds me. Why did you walk off like that at lunch? And where did you go?" Kagome asked only loud enough for Sango to hear.

"I had to go to the bathroom." Sango said not meeting Kagome's eye. She could sense that she was hiding something from her.

"Really? You didn't go look for Miroku?" she said, trying to get more out of Sango.

"Of course I didn't." she said flustered.

"Really?" Kagome said staring at her.

"Alright. I went to go look for him. So what? I was just making sure he wasn't doing anything perverted." She finally gave in.

"And? Was he?" Kagome asked.

"No." She said looking away, "He was doing what he just said he was."

"And that shows that you should believe in the ones you love." Kagome said.

"The ones you love! I don't love him! Who would love him?" Sango said in a loud whisper. Kagome saw color appearing on her cheeks.

"Sure." She said.

"What do you mean by sure?" asked Sango.

"Nothing." Kagome said, she turned to the boys to see what they were talking about. Inuyasha was bragging about his great victory. She sighed and turned back around. "Wake up when it's my stop." She said to Sango as she closed her eyes.
