For Better or For Worse
Chapter Ten
"Hey Inuyasha! Wait up man!" Cried Miroku as he ran down the hall to reach his friend.
Inuyasha heard him, but kept his pace and walked down the hall.
"Yo Inuyasha!" Miroku screamed.
Inuyasha just sighed and turned to look at his friend running full speed at him.
"Shit."
Inuyasha wasn't able to get out of the way in time, and both of the boys collided into one another.
Inuyasha lost his balance and fell with Miroku right behind him into the couple in front of them.
The couple caught their balance, but Inuyasha and Miroku fell to the floor.
"Damn it Miroku. Don't you know how to stop!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Sorry Inuyasha, I was just too proud of you when I heard what you did for Kagome to have thought of stopping." Miroku just smiled.
"Feh."
"See, I told you that you'd like them once you talked to them."
"Feh, don't get used to it monk, it was a one time thing." Inuyasha snorted.
Miroku nodded and noticed what the hanyou had called him.
He looked at Inuyasha with a surprised and scared expression on.
Inuyasha had his eyes closed and noticed someone's stare on him.
He opened his eyes.
"What!"
"Uh…how did you know that I am a monk?"
"Easy. I can sense the aura of a monk in training on you."
This just frightened Miroku even more.
"Can everyone that's a demon notice that? Like Kouga or Shippou for instance."
Inuyasha flinched at the name of that wolf demon, but shrugged it off.
"Nah, don't worry I am the only one, unless there are other miko's here."
"You're a miko? How can that be? You're part demon."
"My mother was a miko, my father was a demon. Put them to gather smart ass."
"Oh. So other miko's can sense it too?"
"Ya. Like Kagome should be able to sense it."
"She's a miko? Since when has she been a miko?"
Miroku was so confused.
"Well, by her aura it seems like a long time, maybe eight years now."
"I wonder why she didn't tell us…" Miroku became worried.
"Maybe for the same reasons why you aren't telling them that you're a monk." Inuyasha suggested.
"How do you know that?" Miroku looked at his friend in curiosity.
"You aren't telling them because you're afraid of their reaction right? You're afraid that they may not accept you as something else than a human?"
Miroku was shocked by his friend's intelligence and just nodded.
Inuyasha sighed. He had a head ache.
He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
The late bell rang.
The hanyou opened his eyes and looked at his and Miroku's position.
They were still on the floor in the positions that they fell in.
Inuyasha picked himself up and stuck out a hand to the dazed out monk.
Miroku shook his head to notice what was happening and took his friends hand.
"Thanks."
"Don't worry about it I won't tell anyone."
"I know I'm just wondering how I am going to make it through next period. I forgot to do the math homework."
"Oh shit."
"You too?" Miroku laughed.
Inuyasha nodded.
The too got up and started walking towards class.
"So Miroku, how do you know what I did in third period?" Inuyasha said.
"Shippou told me." He laughed as his friend was mumbling something about killing Shippou later.
"Let's hurry. I can see class and if I know our math teacher as much as I think I do, man we're in for it."
"Why what will the teach do? Hurt me? Ya right." Inuyasha smirked.
"We'll see. Here we go."
Miroku said as the two walked into the period that will later be known as hell.
Inuyasha had a headache from each scream that followed the last.
Already five minutes had passed as the teacher had lectured them on being late, and all it was, was yells.
It aggravated Inuyasha, causing his ears to twitch each time the teacher had screamed.
"Socializing in the halls instead of being a participant in my class!"
Twitch
"Every minute you two were late that's ten minutes in detention tomorrow!"
Twitch Twitch
"It's only the second day of my class and you're this late!"
Twitch Twitch Twitch
"Now sit down!"
Miroku flinched as that last sentence rang through his ears.
There weren't any signs of giggling from the class because the yelling towards the two boys had shut everyone up.
Miroku and Inuyasha made their way towards the two empty seats in front of Kagome.
Kagome waited until Inuyasha was seated and leaned over to whisper to him.
"You're always late." She giggled.
Inuyasha growled as he heard what she had said and turned to face her.
He smirked and took her math textbook.
She stopped laughing and glared at him.
"Give. It. Back."
"Or what?" Inuyasha challenged.
"Or I'll come over there and sit on you and get it."
Kagome was dead serious which made Inuyasha crack up.
He stopped laughing and answered the girl.
"Sit on me huh? Maybe you should lose some pounds before you do so I don't get too hurt." He said sarcastically.
Kagome hit him on his arm.
"Ow wench that hurt!"
"I know, I really do need to lose a couple of pounds huh?" She said as she stared at her stomach.
"Feh. I was just joking. If anything you need to gain some. You're too skinny."
"Thanks Inuyasha." She said to him sarcastically.
"No problem." He said without a problem and faced the front of the room.
Five minutes of class passed by before Kagome noticed that he still had her math book.
"Inuyasha…"
He turned to her again.
"What is it now wench?"
"My name's Kagome and I really need my book."
"Oh this?" Inuyasha said playfully as he held up her book in front of her face.
Someone had called Inuyasha's name and he turned to see who had done it.
The book was still in his hand in the air.
Kagome smiled and took the opportunity to grab the book.
She took it back and Inuyasha turned back to her being unsuccessful in finding who called him.
She just laughed and then stuck her tongue out at him.
"Inuyasha!" Inuyasha turned around once again to the front of the room to see why his name was called for the second time.
"Stop flirting with Miss Kagome and pay attention!" The teacher cried.
The class burst out laughing as the two faces of the miko and hanyou turned bright red.
Miroku leaned over to Inuyasha and Kagome.
"Nice job you two. You're going to give people wrong ideas." Miroku laughed.
"Oh well. Who cares what they'll think. Oh and Miroku?" Kagome said.
"Ya?"
"What do we all have planned for Friday? And Inuyasha is coming."
"Oh good! Uh, I'm not sure, but I have a feeling it's going to be the mall."
"Ya that's what we heard too. We all need to go shopping because the dance is in two weeks and Shippou's birthday is in three." Kagome said thinking of what she could give Shippou. She didn't have a clue.
"So about the dance…Kagome are you going with anybody?" Miroku asked.
"Nah. I'm afraid that Kouga might ask and I really don't want to go with him. You're going with Sango right?"
"Yup. Ya Kouga will ask you. Just say you have a date."
"But what if I can't get a date and show up dateless?"
"Not my problem sorry Kagome."
Kagome just sighed.
Miroku leaned over to reach Inuyasha.
"I think you should ask Kagome to the dance." He whispered to his friend.
Inuyasha just snorted, and pretended to make it look like he was paying attention to the teacher as he thought about going to the dance with her.
It wouldn't be so bad I guess.
The bell had interrupted his thoughts.
Miroku, Kagome and Inuyasha all left the room for lunch.
