Chapter 3: You can always learn something

I am Kagome Higurashi. I am currently at my graduation ceremony. Soon I will enter prep school and later take the entrance exam to Todai. Inuyasha was at the prep school. Kouga, Miroku and Sesshoumaru was here but Shippo still had 1 more week of high school somewhere else. Kouga had told me he and Miroku had also applied for the study course which was probably a reason to hang around me and study until late at night together. Shippo had also applied but I had forced him to because he had a very little confidence. He always kept away from the others so I thought that if he could get into Todai, he could get to realize what a smart, funny and cute guy he really was.

After my graduation we went out to lunch. During lunch I found out something new about Sesshoumaru.

"You know Kagome, if you ever need any help in your studies, I can tutor you. I am in my third year of Todai after all."

"Really? I had no idea. Don't you have class today?"

"Yes but only later at around 3. I still have more than 2 hours."

"Kouga then chose that opportune moment to butt in, "Well their gonna give us a test on our first day there so we better get studying."

Miroku piped up, "Yes lets study together."

Sesshoumaru just sat there listening, amusement in his eyes but only in his eyes. "I guess I could teach you if you have any problems."

When we reached the lodge I went around doing my chores while I asked the 2 of them to go ahead and study first. I was hoping they'd be done by the time I had finished cleaning. Shippo offered to help me at some point and I agreed.

By the time I was done, Inuyasha had just come back and headed straight for the gym room and Sesshoumaru's classes had ended. Sesshoumaru was teaching Miroku, Kagome and Kouga but mostly Kagome. Shippo was god knows where and Inuyasha was working out.

"Ummm…Kagome?" Shippo peeked through the door.

"Yes Shippo?"

"Can I study with you guys?"

"Sure, come in."

"Eh, Kagome I'm studying with you too." Inuyasha walked in wearing only a pair of baggy jeans.

Kagome couldn't help but blush at his attire.

Kouga noticed the blush and removed his T-shirt too claiming is was rather hot.

Inuyasha chose to sit right behind me lying on his stomach because there was no space at the table. Soon I was surrounded by shirtless men with exception for Shippo who had been talking only to me the whole time. Miroku had just said his shirt was tight and Sesshoumaru simply hadn't given a reason. The room smelt manly and I knew my friends would get weird ideas just by walking into the room a smelling it.

By the time we were done with an entire set of papers for the courses we were planning on taking we sat down to do the self evaluation. Out of eight hundred percent, I had 680, Shippo had 572, Kouga had 466, Inuyasha had 437, Miroku had 212. Miroku had been a lazy person before I came. So he never really studied, all he did was get drunk, flirt and work part-time to pay rent. It didn't help that he was mostly daydreaming during the study period. Kouga was teasing Inuyasha about how he could beat him, I hadn't the heart to tell them Todai required a minimum of 500 just to sit for the entrance exam.

Soon we decided to order pizza. Uneventful unless you count Miroku getting slapped by the pizza delivery girl.

So after dinner the guys were clearing up the place and I went to bed ready for the next day which was Thursday.

I woke up to see Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, Kouga and Miroku sparring. Shippo was standing on the roof raining down foxfire at them. They were all wearing white sleeveless shirts and drawstring sweatpants. Inuyasha was using this humongous sword that was shaped like a katana while Sesshoumaru was using a long, thin and straight sword. Kouga was using a wakinzashi(a type of short katana). Miroku was using a bo or you can call it a staff. When I came out onto my balcony, Inuyasha immediately jumped up to me and offered to teach me. I didn't mind trying so I agreed. He gleefully bounded off and returned with 2 shinais, practice swords.

The other guys had 'Jealous' written all over their faces as Inuyasha brought me to the back and taught me the basics. It was a good workout and Inuyasha, as usual, had taken off his shirt. By now Inuyasha was sparring with me. Of course he was going easy on me and I had fun.

At lunch time Shippo helped me cook. The others wanted to help but they didn't know a thing about cooking. So I just decided to teach them a few things. I had thought them how to make some basic stuff so we had a modest lunch.

Well in the end, we all learnt something.

Sorry I know that wasn't the best chapter but the next chapter is going to be interesting.
