Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.
Inuyasha's first day of school
(Recap: Inuyasha suspects Kagome of cheating on him with a student named Koji who has also become his friend. But now that he knows the truth, well the story continues here!)
Kagome didn't understand how she and Inuyasha always got into a fight. Something had to go wrong after they found one spec of happiness. It seemed to her that someone was planning these things to happen. Could it be Kikyou? Her jealousy towards Kagome could have driven her to sabotage. How about her friends? Maybe they were jealous that she spent more time with Inuyasha then them. Koga? His anger towards Inuyasha made him seek revenge trying to make him lose everything. What about Hojo? He seems nice enough until he was pushed to far. Her imagination flew freely with nothing to stop it. This is preposterous! Even these people she knew would not steep to a major low as this. But then there's Kikyou! Jealous Ex-girlfriend who will do anything to get what she wants, maybe even kill Kagome.
"Ms.Higurashi!"
"W-what?" She snapped out of her dream.
"Would you like to join us?"
"Um… yes sir Mr.Tokinawa!"
"Very good! Please solve this math problem on the board."
She got up miserably and limped her way to the black board. Her eyes half shut out of sadness and disappointment. She solved the example with ease. Inuyasha was even surprised. She always had trouble with word problems. Mr.Tokinawa was surprised.
"Correct! How did you improve so much, Ms.Higurashi?"
She looked at him with her sleepy eyes and answered, "I've been doing problems every night for the past month. I thought it wouldn't hurt and it would help me prepare for the exam at the end of the year! Just in case!"
"Very very good! You have made great progress. Keep up the good work!"
"Will do, Mr.Tokinawa!"
She slid miserably back into her seat and her head fell on the desk. All the kids in her class looked at her as Mr.Tokinawa was writing on the board. Inuyasha's face was a big question mark. She picked up her head and looked at everyone. Her zombie eyes and dried mouth made them turn around. Inuyasha still looked and mouthed the words, 'Are you feeling O.K.?' Kagome raised her hand.
"May I go to Nurse's office? I don't feel so good!"
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know!"
She suddenly got up and ran out of the classroom with her arms wrapped around her stomach. She went to the bathroom instead and stared at herself in the mirror. Her skin had become pale and her head felt like it was on fire. She filled the sink up with cold water and threw her head inside. After 20 seconds, she pulled herself out and looked in the mirror again only this time she was a fire headed pale-faced girl with soaking wet hair.
"What's happening to me?" She whispered.
She squeezed her hair and came out. She walked a little in the halls, swaying from side to side. Hojo ran and found her.
"KAGOME!"
She slammed against the wall and slid down slowly. Hojo ran over to her and felt her forehead. He felt the fiery heat.
"Kagome, you're burning up! I have to take you to the nurse!"
Kagome struggled and asked, "Why are you…here?"
"Mr.Tokinawa sent me to see if you were all right!"
"I'm fine!"
"No, you're not! Let me help you!"
"No, really! I'm fine!" She said sweetly.
"Here."
Hojo helped her up and supported her on the way to the Nurse's office. There the Nurse took her temperature and she had a high fever. Hojo was concerned and wanted to stay but the Nurse reassured him that Kagome would be fine. Hojo returned to the classroom and had everyone looking at him.
Mr.Tokinawa asked, "Well Hojo, how is she?"
"When I found her she was in the hallway and she looked like she was going to pass out but I got her to the Nurse and she will be all right. She has a high fever!"
"How awful! Thank you. Please take your seat."
Hojo sat down concerned and drew pictures on his paper unpleasantly.
Hojo thought to himself, "Poor Kagome! I hope she's O.K.! I'll get to see her at lunch. I'll talk to her then!"
Kagome was lying there but she couldn't stop moving. She went from side to side clenching her stomach and making painful moaning sounds. The nurse mixed some powder in with water and gave it to her to drink. It tasted like grape medicine. She hated that taste! Grape medicine didn't even taste like grape. It was just bitter syrup. The nurse left and said she would be back in a few minutes. Finally she could lie still and her tight grip against her stomach, slowly calmed.
"What happened to me?"
She got up and looked into a nearby mirror. Everything seemed fine. Her face had color and she felt all lightheaded. Dizziness made her sit down. She helped herself to some ice and put it over her eyes. It always made her feel better. The nurse came back in and chuckled.
"Kagome, what are you doing?"
Kagome didn't remove the ice and said with a smile, "Nothing. This just makes me feel better when I have a headache."
"Well, I think I figured out what was wrong with you."
She removed the ice and looked at the nurse.
"What happened?"
"Did you eat this morning?"
"Eat, like breakfast?"
"Well, what else?"
They laughed.
"No. I was in a hurry."
"O.K. so that was the problem. You body is so used to eating in the morning that since you missed this mornings breakfast, you caught a fever."
"Is it possible to catch a fever from not eating?"
"Yes! It can get dangerous if you don't eat anything at all but you're healthy so you're O.K.! Make sure you eat lunch today. Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah! Much! What did you give me?"
"Ah! That's a secret! I will never say!"
Kagome giggled and said, "Well whatever it was, it worked! Thank you so much!"
"My pleasure! Do you feel well enough to go to class?"
"Yeah! Thanks!"
Kagome took her time and walked through the halls. She stopped at one of the really big windows and stared out. Such nice greenery.
"Beautiful!"
She knocked on the door and got the O.K. to enter. She opened the door with a huge smile.
"I'm back!"
"Feeling better?" Asked Mr.Tokinawa.
"Much!"
"KAGOME!" Yelled her three best friends.
"Ah hem!"
The girls blushed and sat back down saying, "Sorry Mr.Tokinawa!"
"Very well! Please have a se…"
Before he could finish, the bell for lunch began to ring. Everyone dashed out of there. Kagome was almost trampled but she moved out of the doorway and into the classroom just in time. She sighed in relief. Kagome hugged all her friends and explained why she wasn't feeling well. She packed her things a few seconds after and left the classroom. Inuyasha was sitting on his desk during that whole time and he was hurt that he didn't get any attention from Kagome. Koji didn't leave either.
"Uh… shouldn't we be going?" Koji asked Inuyasha.
"Hm."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Is Kagome like your girlfriend or something?"
He blushed and took on the defensive. "NO! Why?"
"I don't know! You seem very protective of her and you are always talking to her."
"And that makes me her boyfriend?"
"You look after her like a big brother would. More boyfriend than big brother."
"Whatever!"
In the lunchroom, Kagome was carefully observing a machine.
"Which to get? Which to get?" She whispered to herself.
"Come on, Kagome," said Eri, "You've been looking at those for six minutes all ready!"
"So what's your point?" Kagome said not removing her eyes from the machine.
"Buy something! Like those nacho chips, or M&M's, or pretzels! Choose something!"
She stared at the machine for another two minutes and said, "I want Twizlers pull n' peals!"
"Finally!" Yuka exclaimed.
Kagome checked her wallet and fell down.
"What's wrong?" Asked Ayumi.
"I'M BROKE!"
"I would lend you but so am I!" Said Ayumi.
"And I!" Said Yuka.
"And I." Said Eri.
Kagome sat there with tears in her eyes until someone came to help.
"Hey sweetness!"
"Sesshomaru?"
"Sesshomaru… ahhhhhhh!" The three girl's hearts beats like a stampede.
"Figures!"
Sesshomaru helped her up.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm hungry and broke!"
"Here!"
He put a dollar in the machine.
"Which do you want?"
"None! It's O.K.! Don't worry."
"Which?"
She sighed and said, "Pull n' peals!"
"Done!"
He pushed the numbers and gave Kagome her snack.
"Thanks so much, Sesshy!"
"Don't mention it! You want to join me for lunch right now?"
"Sure! I'll see you guys later." Kagome said to her love struck friends.
"Sesshomaruuu!"
"Yeah!"
She giggled and hopped off with Sesshomaru. Being that Sesshomaru was the hottest guy in school, he didn't have friends. The boys were just jealous with him being a girl magnet. But when he really needed something, Kagome was there to lend a hand. In this case, he helped. (lol ) They picked out a quiet table and talked. Inuyasha made it in slowly after. He scanned the room with his Kagome finder, (His eyes! ), and found her with Sesshomaru.
"THAT LITTLE!"
He was ready to stomp off when Koji held him back.
"Relax, Inu! Since when do you get riled up at lunch?"
"SINCE SESSHOMARU STARTS HITTING ON KAGOME!"
"I KNEW IT!"
Koji let go of Inuyasha and pointed the finger of shame at him.
"What?" He couldn't stop blushing.
"You're madly in love with this girl! You like her but she doesn't like you!"
He turned around and crossed his arms.
He whispered, "It's not like that."
"Huh? So she likes you and you like her but she's flirting with other guys?"
"NO!"
"Well, make up you're mind cause you're looking like a big idiot to me!"
"I'M NOT AN IDIOT!"
The lunchroom didn't mind but Sesshomaru and Kagome heard that part. They laughed like loons at a loon party. (Loon is short for lunatics! Hee hee!)
"He's so messed up!" Sesshomaru laughed away.
"Don't say that! He's your younger brother!"
"Right and I have an obligation to fulfill!"
They laughed some more. Inuyasha wasn't taking it well as usual. He stomped over to their table with a red face.
"SAY IT TO MY FACE, FLUFFY!"
Koji was holding onto him but it was helping. If only he could shut his mouth.
Koji struggled and said, "Now now, no need for a fight!"
Sesshomaru laughed and said, "Idiot! Shall I spell it out for you?"
"Sesshomaru, cut it out! This isn't the time!" Kagome stood up.
"You're taking his side?" Inuyasha spoke through his teeth.
"I'm not on anyone's side! This is just stupid!"
"You're the stupid one!"
"What did I do!"
Sesshomaru pushed Inuyasha back and said, "That's no way to speak to a lady, little brother!"
"What do you know!"
"More than you do being that I'm the eldest of all of you! Watch your mouth will you?"
"No one asked you!"
"When you start verbally attacking an innocent girl, that's when I get involved so shut your hole and apologize!"
"Hmph!"
"Kagome, let's get out of here!"
Silence.
"Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked again but no answer.
He turned around to find her gone. They looked all around and saw her back leave the lunchroom.
"Nice going!"
Sesshomaru walked away and into the halls to where Kagome was. Koji finally let go of Inuyasha and they sat down.
"You got issues! What was that!"
"Feh! That was nothing!"
"Why would you call her that? She did nothing to you!"
"That's just me!"
"Well you better change, Inu," Koji said while standing up, "cause you don't want to end up alone now do you?" Koji left and joined Ayumi, Yuka and Eri.
In the hallway…
"Kagome?" Sesshomaru met up with her.
"Yeah!"
"You O.K.?"
"I'm fine!" She answered normally.
"Are you sure? That was out of bounds what he called you back there."
"I know!"
"You're not hurt?"
"Nope!"
"Weird!"
"Why is that?"
"Well, don't take this the wrong way, it's just…"
"Yes…"
"You seem to me like you'd flip out and defend yourself. You know, hit him hard back, you know?"
"Well, after observing your brother, I've realized that there's no hope for him. He will always be his fiery tempered self. I've just convinced myself that I shouldn't stress over something this stupid. I don't want to grow gray hair at this age!"
"You've got some?"
"No, I'm just saying."
"So you're taking it in?"
"No. More like tuning it out!"
He chuckled.
"Nice! Well, I can't believe I'm saying this but Inuyasha's not a bad guy. He's…"
"I know he's a hopeless romantic who can't show his true colors because he has his electric barbed wire fence surrounding him. He's nice, sweet, and a great guy on the inside!"
"Nicely done! How do you know so much?"
"Common sense… … and I have three girlfriends who've had boyfriends who treated them like dirt and blah blah blah! I've heard it all! The only thing is why doesn't it ever show?"
"What show?"
"This sweet prince charming! I've heard it all but never has anyone told me that a guy is like this. I don't really believe it until it shows!"
"Ah! O.K.! Well, catch you later!"
"Bye!"
And like that, the conversation finished.
After school…
Koji waited for the gang to meet. He saw Kagome first.
"What's crackin?"
"Nothing! Who are you waiting for?"
"Inu and Sesshy!"
"Oh right! You got to be the drummer!"
"Yep!"
"Well, have fun!"
She was about to go home when he stopped her.
"Wait! Maybe you'd like to come with. Ayumi is going. You want to come?"
"No."
She just walked off.
"I can't blame you. With his temper like that!"
Inuyasha arrived with his bag over his back that he held like a jacket and his eyes buried deep into the ground. He picked them up to see his girl walk off. She stopped because she felt like she was being followed. She turned and saw the ashamed boy stare at her. She didn't care. Her legs forced her to move but not her eyes. They were glistening as though she was about to cry but not one drop fell. She turned her head and ran. Her swollen foot didn't stop her.
"KAGOME!"
She suddenly stopped, hoping that the boy would hold her and say he loved her. Well, dreams don't always come true!
"KAGOME!" Sesshomaru yelled again.
Disappointment was written all over her face.
"Kagome. I need a favor!"
"What favor?"
"Can you walk the dog today?"
"Shispy?"
"Yeah! It's my turn but I'm going to be at Koji's house practicing for tomorrow."
"I'll do it. I'll go right now!"
"Well, then we can both walk."
"Yeah…"
She looked down and her eyes began to shine again.
"Hey hey hey, what's wrong?" Sesshomaru put his hand on her shoulder.
Again, no tears fell but her heart was in pain.
"I'm just confused!"
"There there!"
Sesshomaru hugged her. Inuyasha was all ready hotter then the sun. Flaming actually. The hug wasn't what she expected but it really made her feel loved. He gave her a sweet kiss on her cheek and then walked with her to their house. Koji and Inuyasha walked after them. Inuyasha wanted to explode but he held himself back. Koji walked along like nothing had happened.
"Jerk!"
"What did you say?" Koji's eyes stabbed Inuyasha
"Jerk!"
"Who me?"
"No! Sesshomaru!"
"You're not helping Kagome at all so at least be thankful that someone cares about her."
"I care about her too, you know?"
"I know! You're just not doing a very good job!"
"Hm."
"A simple 'Hm' is not going to do it!"
Arriving at the dog boy's house, Sesshomaru put the key in the door but didn't open it.
"You better duck!"
"Why?"
He opened the door and bent down. Kagome didn't listen. Shispy flew out, barking as much as he could and knocked her down. He was licking her like crazy.
"Hee hee! Nice to see you to, Shispy!"
Kagome hugged the little guy.
"Who's home?" A voice yelled from the kitchen.
"Me! And some friends!"
Their mother came in and saw Kagome.
"Kagome! You've come back! I was wondering when you'd come!"
"Heh! I came to do a favor!"
Kagome got up with a struggle. Her foot.
"What happened?" Their mother asked.
"A hurt my foot badly this morning! I'm fine now!"
"Do you want me to look at it?"
"It's O.K.! I'm fine!"
"Come over tomorrow after school and I'll have a look, all right?"
"O.K."
"But what was the favor?"
Sesshomaru walked up in front of Kagome.
"Remember today I'm supposed to walk Shispy?"
"YES!" Her eyes narrowed.
"Well, I asked Kagome because we have to rehearse for tomorrow."
"Kagome, dear, this is not a problem?"
"Not at all!" Kagome put her face next to Shispys.
"All right! Thank you!"
"Anytime!"
The other two boys caught up.
"And who is this?" Their mother saw Koji.
Inuyasha said, "This is Koji! He's the drummer for tomorrow's talent show."
"Very nice to meet you miss." Koji greeted her sweetly.
"Same! Will you boys be staying?"
"We're practicing at Koji's house!"
"Oh! All right."
Kagome was ready to walk Shispy.
"I'll be back soon to return Shispy!"
"Thank you again dear!"
"You're welcome!"
She ran out with a smile but when she saw Inuyasha stare again, she whispered to him, "Jerk!"
Inuyasha fell like he was shot in the heart. She ran in the direction of her house and was planning to drop her things off and then come back. Everyone eyed Inuyasha.
"Idiot." Sesshomaru whispered.
"Well, we'll be off!" He then added.
Koji bowed and said, "It was very nice to have met you!"
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's mother said, "Nice to have met you!"
She closed the door and the boys were standing there looking at Inuyasha. He didn't move. He was just on the ground with a stupid look on his face.
"Drag him?" Koji asked Sesshomaru.
"Oh yeah!"
They each took one of Inuyasha's arms and dragged him all the way to Koji's house. It wasn't far but it was tiring.
"When do you think he'll wake up?" Asked Koji.
"I'm guessing by the time we reach your door. I have to hand it to that Kagome, she really knows how to kill him."
They walked for about ten minutes and then they reached Koji's house. They dropped Inuyasha as Koji was reaching for his keys. Sesshomaru was thinking.
"Koji! I've seen this house before! It's very familiar. But why?"
"I don't know."
Koji opened the door and someone yelled, "Koji!"
"And that voice is familiar too!"
The little girl ran and jumped on Koji.
"You're home big brother!" She smiled.
Sesshomaru was in shock.
"Meet my friend Sesshomaru and his brother Inuyasha." Said Koji.
The girls eyes widened as she jumped onto Sesshomaru and yelled, "FLUFFY! I DIDN'T KNOW WHEN YOU WERE GOING TO COME BACK AND NOW YOU'RE HERE AND I MISSED YOU AND…"
"Yes, Rin, I… a… missed you… too." Sesshomaru said tiredly.
"FLUFFY!" Koji was laughing his head off.
"Yes yes, Fluffy!"
"You're the guy whose been playing with Rin, aren't you?"
"If I knew she was your sister, I would've urged you to bring your drum set over to our house."
"What do you mean, Fluffy?" Rin asked with curious eyes.
"Oh, nothing, Rin. Listen can you do me a favor?"
She jumped off of Sesshomaru and said, "What is it my lord?"
"Bring me the coldest cup of water you can get."
"Yes sir!"
She ran off.
"You know it will give you a headache, right?" Said Koji.
"It's not for me."
She ran back and handed it to Sesshomaru.
"Here you go!"
"Thank you, sweety!"
Sesshomaru spilled all of it on Inuyasha. Inuyasha woke up with a yell.
"O.K.! Now we can practice!" Sesshomaru chuckled.
End of Chappie! Please Review! Thank you!
