For Better or For Worse
Chapter Seventeen
The school day was long and hard for the miko sitting in a sticky seat in her second to last period of the school day.
She sighed as she laid her head on her folded arms and stared blankly out the window beside her.
Of course, Inuyasha noticed that she was bored and had been bored ever since math class, for he was in all of her classes.
He decided to take the opportunity of her dullness instead of her always perkiness and happiness, and took two pieces of paper out of his binder.
He ripped little pieces of the first sheet of line paper and made many little balls.
He was going to throw each ball at Kagome and see how long and how many balls it would take for her to snap out of the trance she was currently in.
He carefully made sure that his aim was on target as he threw the first ball.
No response.
This made Inuyasha smirk.
He took a second ball of paper and threw it at the young girl next to him, but this time instead of hitting her head he hit her shoulder.
Still no response.
His smirked just grew bigger and bigger as he threw the first five balls at the miko and she still didn't have any movement from his actions.
On his sixth paper ball that he threw at her, she finally made a movement.
She flinched.
He say her movement and quickly put his binder over the stack of paper balls and pretended that he was taking notes on the second piece of paper he had ripped.
Kagome turned around to see why he was throwing things at her, and to her surprise it seemed like it hadn't been him for he was taking notes of the teacher's lectures.
He held in his laugh as long as he could as the girl eyed him with question.
Once she had turned to stare back out of the window, he released a small laugh.
This time he knew that he wouldn't have enough time to throw each individual piece of paper that was in a ball at Kagome, so instead he grabbed all of the remaining balls in his right arm and threw it at the girl.
To his surprise, no one noticed his action; that is except for Kagome.
Kagome spinned around confused to find Inuyasha taking notes once again.
But this time she knew it had been him for she was watching him in the corner of her eye as she glanced out the window.
"What do you want!" screamed Kagome.
The whole class went silent and the teacher stopped with his lesson.
Inuyasha was trying his hardest to keep on a confused innocent look and from laughing.
"Excuse me Kagome?" asked her teacher.
"Uh…no. Sorry."
Kagome said and put her head flat first on the desk to hide her embarrassment.
She turned her head as she heard the laughter from the hanyou.
Inuyasha just couldn't hold it anymore.
The look on her face was priceless.
Kagome gave Inuyasha an evil glare and got an idea.
She was going to give him no pleasure to what he had been trying to accomplish; to irritate her.
Then when he was least expecting it she would throw the balls that were thrown at her back at him.
It was perfect.
She turned her head from him.
Inuyasha was confused by this.
He had expected the evil stare from her, but not the silent treatment.
He took his second piece of paper and wrote a note on it.
The he folded the paper into a plane and soared it so that it would land on her desk.
Kagome was shocked and ignored the object in front of her for a couple of minutes until her curiosity took over.
She looked at the plane and then at Inuyasha.
He made some kind of movement that she couldn't understand all the way, but she knew that he wanted her to open the plane.
So she did.
Taking her time, she finally opened the folded paper and read the note inside.
'Hey. Sorry about before but you looked so out of it I had to do it. Nice interruption. Ha, ha. So why are you down anyways?'
Kagome took a pencil out of her bag and replied to his message.
'Hi. Ok number one, thanks for saying sorry-I forgive you. Number two-oh really you liked it? Ha, ha. Not funny. Number three, I don't really feel well, you know maybe it's the time of the month, who knows, but mostly because school is boring and I really rather be at the mall.'
She redid the plane and threw it back to Inuyasha.
He opened it and made many different expressions with his face as he read threw it.
This made Kagome giggle.
Inuyasha took his pen and replied.
'Ok, WAY too much information! Didn't need to know that, and ya school sucks. What else is knew? All schools suck. Mall? Oh ya today's Friday…'
He threw it back to her, but missed her desk and was aiming for the one behind her.
Kagome quickly jumped off her seat and grabbed the plane, not noticing that she had once again interrupted the class and that now everyone was staring at her.
Kagome's face grew bright red, and Inuyasha was just drowning in laughter.
Kagome quickly sat down and said sorry for the current "dance" she had made and doesn't plan on doing it again.
Kagome's face grew redder and redder the more Inuyasha laughed.
She sighed and was happy at the next thing that came, the bell.
Only one more period and I'm out of this place and it's the weekend.
Kagome thought in her head as she gathered her books and walked out of the class room besides Inuyasha.
They walked to their last period of the day.
Kagome walked beside Inuyasha with the biggest smile on.
Just the thought of going to that period made her smile because she knew that there was only forty-five minutes until her after school fun.
She was happy that her smile was bright, but that smile didn't last long as Kagome saw the sight of Kikyo coming their way.
"Yasha babe!" Kikyo screeched and ran up to him embracing him with her arms.
She looked up at him surprised and annoyed to have found him giving a pleading look towards Kagome.
She knew that she had to do something about it and started a conversation with him.
He would be hers and only hers.
"So Inu babe what are you doing today? You want to come over my house…we can watch a movie and maybe later"
"He's busy Kikyo." Kagome interrupted.
Inuyasha sighed in relief.
"Ya right, bitch. Who said he was busy, and with who you?" Kikyo laughed.
Inuyasha stepped away from Kikyo's grasp.
"I did. I don't want to hang out with you." Inuyasha said and grabbed Kagome's hand and started to walk down the hall towards their next class.
Kikyo got stood-up.
She wasn't going to be humiliated in front of everyone who was watching in the halls.
She quickly ran up to Inuyasha.
She knocked Kagome over, making sure she fell to the ground.
Kikyo took her chance and reached up to his to fiercefully kiss his lips.
Inuyasha moved to go help Kagome up and to make sure she was all right, but as he moved for her Kikyo just deepened the kiss.
Inuyasha didn't even notice her actions until Kagome gasped in shock.
He looked down to see Kikyo kissing him trying to get access within his mouth.
He quickly pushed her away.
"Back off whore!" He wiped his mouth.
Kikyo smirked as she saw Kagome pick up her things and run down the hall.
"Thanks for the kiss hun. See you later."
Inuyasha mumbled a 'hope not' under his breathe, but Kikyo couldn't tell what he had said.
He rushed after Kagome, not sure why.
Kagome ran as fast as she could.
She wasn't crying, but she didn't want to just stand there and watch Kikyo steal one of her friends again.
She also wasn't sure why she was running, but knew she couldn't and didn't want to stop.
She felt a hand on her should and turned around in shock to find Shippou.
"Oh god Shippou you gave me a heart attack. I thought you were Inuyasha."
Shippou just laughed, "Why you and Inuyasha get into another fight?"
"No, not exactly, he just…its nothing. I don't know why I care."
"Ok. What ever you say Kagome." Shippou said, still confused by her words.
Kagome looked back to see Inuyasha coming her way.
She looked back to Shippou.
"I'm sorry Shippou, I…I got to go." She said and ran down the hall and disappeared when she turned the corner.
Inuyasha stopped and took a breathe as he now stood next to Shippou.
"Hey man. What you and Kagome do to make her run from you like that?" Shippou asked.
"She saw me and Kikyo kissing."
"What! You kissed Kikyo!"
"No dumb ass! She knocked Kagome down and I went to help her but before I knew it Kikyo was all over me."
"Great, Inuyasha, you better say sorry to her and fast."
"I know, I know."
With that Inuyasha ran after Kagome and turned the hall, disappearing the same way she did.
Shippou stood there watching him run by shaking his head.
This might not be good for later on…
