For Better or For Worse
Chapter eight
Sango and Rin met Kagome at her locker before class has started.
"Hey Kagome. I hear the new student is in our first period class! I can't wait to meet him or her!" Rin said jumping up and down in excitement almost losing her books in her hands.
"Ya. I can't wait either, but I don't think I am as excited as she…" Sango looks over at Rin then back to Kagome, "…is, you know?"
Kagome laughed.
"Guys I have to go meet up with the baseball coach before class. I'll just meet you in class ok?" Kagome closed her locker.
"Ok see you then!" Rin said as Sango and Rin walked to first period.
The bell rang.
"Shit…" Kagome ran towards the gym.
She turned the corner and bumped into something.
She fell to the ground dropping all her books and looked up to see who she banged heads with.
"Uhg, god wench do you mind looking where you're going!"
"Uh, ya sorry. Hey, I haven't seen you around here before…are you the new kid?"
"Well if you haven't seen me before what do you think wench!"
"Well excuse me! You don't have to be so rude about it! Wait what did you call me!"
"You heard me."
The late bell rang.
"Shit, now I'm really late."
"Feh"
The new kid walked passed Kagome and made his way to first period as Kagome ran towards the gym.
"God, he's such a jerk!" She mumbled to herself.
She finally made it to the gym and found Mrs. Gintsoku.
She ran over to her and told her about missing the try outs the day before and how she really wanted to be on the baseball team.
Mrs. Gintsoku understood and Kagome made her way back to first period.
She paused in her tracks as the announcements started.
'Good morning once again students. Good job at the try outs yesterday, it looks like we have a lot of team members this year, but don't forget make up for the try outs are tomorrow. Today lunch will be moved back an hour for there will be an assembly. We have a couple of new students this year and I hope to see many of you helping them. I remember when I was a new student at my high school…I met a lot of friends and met a lot of enemies, but high school was always…well yes that is the announcements for today. Continue with your classes.'
Shit the announcements already! I am so late. The one day I come to school early I'm late!
She ran to her first period and opened the door catching her breathe.
She panted and looked around the room as Mr. Ross was introducing the new kid to the class.
"Well class it seems like we have a new kid in our grade. Would you care to introduce yourself?" Mr. Ross looked over to the new kid not making any action to notice that
Kagome was late.
Kagome sighed and snuck over to her seat.
"Name's Inuyasha."
"Well Inuyasha, please take a seat. Class has begun."
Inuyasha looked around the room and found a seat next to Miroku.
"Oh and Kagome, don't think you're off the hook for being late once again. I will talk to you later."
Kagome slouched in her seat.
"Hey Kagome, isn't it weird that the only day you're early you're still late for class?" Sango giggled.
Rin leaned over to the two girls.
"Hey, Inuyasha pretty cute. I love his dog ears you know?" Rin smiled.
"Ya, he's cute, but he is one rude person."
"How do you know that Kagome?" Sango wondered.
"I kind of ran into him in the hall and lets just say he wasn't that nice."
The girls giggled.
Miroku leaned over to Inuyasha.
"Hey man. What's up?"
"Feh."
"Name's Miroku. Nice to meet you Inuyasha."
"Same here I guess."
Inuyasha looked over to the giggling girls.
Miroku laughed.
"Anyone interest you?"
Inuyasha gave Miroku a death stare.
"Ok, ok I was just joking around. Well I'll introduce to everyone."
Miroku first pointed towards Shippou.
"That's Shippou and next to him is Koga."
Miroku then pointed towards Rin, Kagome and Sango.
"That's Rin, Kagome, and Sango."
"Humph" Inuyasha just snorted.
The three girls turned to look at Miroku and Inuyasha when they heard their names.
"Hey I'm Sango" Sango reached out a hand towards Inuyasha but he just snorted.
"Ok, maybe not."
Rin went over to Inuyasha and introduced herself.
Inuyasha watched as Rin made her way back to her seat next to Sango and Kagome.
He stared at Kagome.
Kagome felt the presence of someone's stare and looked up at Inuyasha.
Miroku noticed this and introduced them to each other once again.
"Kagome this is…"
"Inuyasha. Ya I know we met. We ran into each other in the hall." Miroku was thrown off guard as Kagome finished his sentence but just shrugged it off.
"Feh. Ya she needs to watch where she's going."
Kagome started to get mad. She had blown the whole thing over, now why couldn't he?
"Well excuse me! I am sorry I turned the corner and didn't see you!"
"What ever wench just don't do it again."
Sango was listening to their conversation and heard what Inuyasha had called Kagome.
"What did you just call my friend?" Sango got a little irritated.
Rin saw what was happening and whispered over to Shippou and Koga.
"He's in for it now."
Shippou agreed. "Ya you definitely don't want to get on Sango's bad side."
Koga shook his head to agree with the two.
Inuyasha just looked at Sango and snorted.
"You heard me. I called her a wench. Why do you care?"
Sango went to go throw a punch at him, but Kagome stood in front of Inuyasha.
"Sango don't. I don't care, just leave him alone."
Sango calmed down and looked over Kagome's shoulder to Inuyasha, giving him one of her coldest stares. And then she looked back to Kagome and shook her head in agreement.
"Just watch out Inuyasha. No one talks to my friends like that. You're just lucky that she stuck up for you."
"Feh"
Shippou leaned over to Inuyasha.
"You're lucky. She has one mean punch. You should know Miroku." Shippou laughed and picked his head up to look at Miroku.
"Ya she does."
That just made Shippou laugh even harder.
"Feh"
Shippou noticed the hanyou's lack of talking.
"You don't talk much do you?"
"No, I just talk when I want to."
"Oh ok sorry I didn't mean to offend you." Shippou laughed then noticed the hanyou's stare at Kagome.
Koga also noticed this and started to talk in Shippou and Inuyasha conversation.
"She's one beauty huh Inuyasha? She's my woman though so don't get any ideas." Koga gave a warning smile.
"Please, Inuyasha don't listen to him. Kagome is nothing close to being your woman. He wishes she was so he says she is. She's free man believe me I know, she's one of my best friends."
"What ever. It's not as if I'm interested or anything."
Everyone turned their attention to the front of the class.
Inuyasha couldn't help, but stare at Kagome here and there.
He had noticed her glare at points too which just caused him to ignore her stare.
He stopped looking at the girl and faced the chalk board to fall into a daze of thoughts.
'There is something about that girl…'
The teacher was talking, but even with Inuyasha's great ears he was too busy in his own thoughts to have heard a single word that came out of the teacher's mouth.
'Even after how I acted towards her…"
The bell rang.
Everyone picked up their books and made their way towards the classroom door, except for Inuyasha.
"Come on Inuyasha. Class is over." Miroku said standing in the door with Shippou beside him.
Inuyasha looked up at the two boys and picked up his books making his way to them.
Before leaving the class room he looked back to where the girl had sat.
'She stood up for me...'
