The Ying and the Yang Souls
Chapter 3: Class
The class began boring and stayed boring.
"Class open your text books to pg. 35 please. Now prepositions are words that connect a noun to a verb.." Mrs. Rabold started and started writing examples on the overhead.
Kagome groaned as her head hit the desk. She absolutely hated Language Arts.
'Boring. I wonder how Sango's faring...'
Kagome lifted her head and stared at her friend. She looked like she was about to fall asleep. 'She's not the only one.' Kagome thought as she looked at Kikiyo who looked about ready to die. Kagome got out a sheet of paper and wrote,
'Hey Sango. How ya doin?'
She folded the paper up and kicked it back to Sango. Sango picked it up and unfolded it, smiling at the note.
'Yeah right. What do you think? Hey Kikiyo… you faring any better?'
Sango kicked it to Kikiyo who in turn wrote:
'Not any better than you I bet.'
So all through the hour they wrote/kicked notes back and forth between the three of them. When the bell finally rang, the three of them hurried out and down the hall to their lockers.
"I thought I was gonna die in there. How about you?" Kagome sighed as she dug through her locker to find the things she needed for Geography class.
"Ugh, we have Geography class. Mr. Bock is such a drag." Kikiyo groaned and pulled out her Geography book and dropped it in her bag.
"I know I'll fall asleep in his class." Sango snickered and dropped her book in her bag as well. The three teens slowly made their way towards room 206 of Geography.
Sesshomaru glared evilly at his locker. He hadn't taken the time to memorize the locker combination so he was trying to pry it open with deadly glares. InuYasha and Zephyr walked up behind the preoccupied teen and grinned.
"Forgot your locker combo on the first day. What a pathetic excuse for a ..OW! Zephyr!" InuYasha glared at his younger sister. She just looked up at him and grinned.
"Shut up you poor excuse of a half breed. Don't worry Niisama. Just let me handle it." She smiled and walked over to the locker and typed in a few numbers and it opened.
Sesshomaru glared at his younger sister and she grinned smugly. "Now you owe me." She snickered and ran off to her second hour class.
Sesshomaru growled as he watched her disappear around the corner.
"Cocky little brat huh?" InuYasha said and walked off after her.
Sesshomaru slammed the door of his locker and stormed after the two of them and into Geography class. Entering the classroom with a emotionless expression he seated himself at a desk in the middle rows of the classroom. He was sitting next to a girl with long black hair and chocolate brown eyes. She looked like she'd been training a lot.
'Hmmm, why does she seem familiar? Ah, yes… the slayers.' Sesshomaru's eyes widened slightly as he realized that the girl next to him was one of the vampire hunters. He immediately stared at the front and waited for the teacher to arrive.
About 4 minutes later Mr. Bock walked in and took attendance. Sesshomaru, InuYasha, and Zephyr were once again introduced to the class and then Mr. Bock started his lesson.
"Okay everyone, turn to chapter four and start working on the chapter reviews," he instructed.
The class groaned as they retrieved paper, pencils and their books. Kagome mentally swore that all teachers were bloodsucking vamps and grumbled revenge under her breath as she retrieved her book and started working on the first of three reviews assigned. Sango and Kikiyo had the same expression on their face as they worked diligently. Sesshomaru on the other hand, promised death to the teachers of the school. His eyes burned holes into his textbook in silence as he worked unhappily. Zephyr, however, was having the best time of her life.
About 10 minutes into class she stood up and exclaimed, "DONE!"
Everybody paused at her disturbance, shrugged and returned to their work. Sesshomaru smirked his trademark smirk and started over to her desk. Why do the work if he had someone else to give him the answers. But just as he opened his mouth to ask the favor, Zephyr snapped at him and replied angrily.
"Sesshomaru, I know you're a dear and all but GET YUR OWN WORK DONE BY YUR OWN SELF!" She growled and shoved him back to his seat.
He growled under his breath as he retreated back to his seat to finish his work. InuYasha mentally exclaimed blackmail as he finished the first section review. The class seemed to drag on by as one by one the class finished and started to chat amongst each other.
"So, Kagome. did you check out the new students?" Sango asked happily as she nodded over to the three students in the room.
Kagome swirled around in her chair and looked them over. She didn't really care for the one with the brash attitude but she did feel a certain attraction to the eldest of the group.
"I like the older one… he looks the most mature."
"Kagome! You most certainly aren't mature by any standards whatsoever! So don't got lying your way through the whole situation… come on, you know you like him cause he's sexy," Sango exclaimed and winked at her friend.
Kagome blushed and then blurted out, "Well which one do you like?"
"Me? I don't really like any of them."
"Only because she likes that other boy in Home Economics class." Kikiyo injected.
"You mean Miroku?" Kagome silently squealed.
"Yah…" Kikiyo scribbled down another answer.
"No way! Is it true Sango!" Kagome exclaimed as she looked at her friend with You'd-better-tell-me-or-else eyes.
"Ehh?" Sango's eyes shone with surprise.
"SO IT IS!" Kagome squealed and clapped her hands happily.
"Ahem, Miss Higurashi if you can not control yourself I'll be forced to write you up. Now please settle down." Mr. Bock said disapprovingly.
"Gomen nasai," Kagome replied softly before turning back to Sango.
"I'm so happy for you!"
"But we're not even together! I bet he doesn't even notice me.." Sango retorted and looked down to her hands.
"Anyway, do you like any of them Kikiyo?" Kikiyo looked at the boys for a while and then shrugged. But deep inside she was falling for a certain brash vampire demon.
Finally the bell rang for third hour and the class rushed out.
"Yatta! Finally free! No more Mr.Monotone!" Kagome cheered and rushed down the hall shouting quick good-bye's to her friends.
The rest of the day dragged by. The girls only had three classes together so they were bored throughout the day. The guys were pretty much in the same classes and they had to put up with Zephyr's smart alect attitude all day long. After seven long hours of school the final bell rang and school was out for the day.
Kagome skipped happily over to the entrance of the school and waited for Sango and Kikiyo to show up. They were all gonna go check out the new building that showed up and she was so excited. She waited for five brief minutes before messing around with a rock on the ground. Soon she got bored of the stupid rock and kicked it away harshly.
"What'd the rock ever do to you Kagome?" a voice said in the distance.
Kagome whipped around and sighed as she saw Sango and Kikiyo approaching.
"Finally! Do you realize how long I've been standing here waiting for your sorry asses!" Kagome shouted angrily
"Calm down girl! You've only been here for six minutes. It's not that bad. Some people have other things to do, you know," Kikiyo remarked brushing her hair out of her face.
Kagome glared at Kikiyo, who returned it, and then turned back and asked, "So, are we gonna go check out the new building or not?"
"Patience grasshopper, we will go, but not before getting our gear." Sango joked and walked off with Kikiyo trailing.
"Yes sensei.." Kagome sneered and ran to catch up with the two girls
It was a quiet ten minute walk to the shrine and as soon as they reached the stairs, Kagome's nose smelled Oden.
"ODEN! Yay! Oden! Mom made oden. Hurrah for oden!" She cheered and rushed inside to the table and sat down.
"Calm down Kagome, let your friends have some as well," Mrs. Higurashi scolded and gently tapped her daughter on the head with a wooden spoon.
"Yes mother," Kagome sighed as Kikiyo and Sango sat down and started eating.
After the little 'oden' fest, the three girls went upstairs to Kagome's room and began to put on their gear. They slipped into their suits and armor then adjusted their weapons. Sango secured her boomerang onto her back while Kikiyo strapped a quiver of arrows on their back. Kagome slipped some kunai in the cuffs of her suit. Some at her wrists, in her shoulder armor, in her boots, at her ankles, and some in her waistband. She also slipped two daggers into her waistband for safekeeping. After twenty minutes of preparation, Kagome and the girls left the shrine and began their trek to the mysterious building. Ten minutes later found the girls in front of the place. It was mighty big, at least four stories. The paint was peeling a bit and the door was old style. Shrugging the creepy sense away, they headed up to the door and entered.
Sesshomaru had bound and gagged his sister to the pole in the middle of the room. He was deliberating what to do to her because of her being a smart alect attitude all through school. He decided to leave her be and go find Kouga. Finding the flea-bitten wolf in the den, he was greeted with the stench of fresh blood. Kouga, being the fool he was, had just fed again and the stench of the room was enough for any vampire to go on a feeding frenzy.
"You dumbass! Don't you know there are hunters out at this time!" Sesshomaru snarled and hit Kouga across the face.
Kouga shrugged and leapt up into the loft and laid down on the mattress. Sesshomaru glared holes at Kouga's back and promised death and torture to the stupid wolf if he wasn't careful. Suddenly he smelled the intruders and stormed off to go find his half-brother. He wasn't worried or anything. The traps could take care of the intruders, he was just a little uneasy about them. Shrugging it off the regal teen continued his search for his half-brother.
Kagome trudged along the hallway gloomily. They had been walking for a while and her feet hurt.
"Can we take a break yet?"
"Quit your whining Kagome. We'll take a break in a little bit," Kikiyo snapped and walked faster just to spite the girl.
"I'm gonna laugh when you fall into a trap or something," Kagome shot out and sped up to keep in step with Kikiyo.
"Well I'm gonna laugh if you get caught by a vampire," she replied.
"Whatever…"
"Will you two just shut up! I'm tired of all your bitching. This is serious, this could be a nest or something," Sango snapped and looked ahead as far as she could with the lanturn.
"Turn the lanturn up! I can't see a darn thing!" Kagome whined again.
Kikiyo sighed and turned up the lanturn a notch so they could see further.
"There's nothing there."
"Thank you for stating the obvious Kagome," Kikiyo sighed and walked on ahead.
Suddenly the floor dropped out and Kikiyo fell into a hole in the ground.
"Haha! Told you you'd fall in a trap! This is hilarious, where's a camera when you need one!" Kagome laughed as she sat down.
Kikiyo glared at Kagome but stopped when she heard a rustling sound coming from nearby. She carefully crawled over to the corner where it was coming from and saw a full skeleton.
"How interesting." she whispered as she watched the skull twitch every so often.
She picked up the bone to get a better look at it when a fluffy orange tail poked out from the bottom. She stared at it for a while and sighed.
"Kitsune magic no doubt." Kikiyo sighed as she hit the skull on the head.
It jumped out of her hand and in a puff of smoke transformed into a little boy with orange hair tied back in a little ponytail, a fluffy orange tail, green eyes, and dressed in a small kimono.
"Wow, it's a kitsune! Can I hold him!" Kagome begged as she spied the little fox.
Kikiyo tossed the kitsune at her and said, "Here, knock yourself out.. literally."
"Hey little kit! I'm Kagome! What's your name?" Kagome cooed as she cradled the kitsune in her arms.
"My name's Shippou! I'm glad you guys came around cause I've been trapped in that pit for a while now. It's been kinda lonesome. Now I can finally get out of this place!" Shippou replied smiling cutely as he spoke.
"Awww! Aren't you just the cutest little thing on this planet!" Kagome cooed as she hugged the little kistune.
"Hey Shippou, do you happen to know anything about this place?" Sango asked as she pulled Kikiyo out of the hole.
"Ummmmm well there's this nice neko child named Zephyr who comes down and watches me. And then there are these one guys. Two of them have silver hair and gold eyes and the other has brown hair and blue eyes. They're all vampires with a little demon in them." Shippou explained carefully.
Kagome gasped as she was thinking of a certain silver haired guy at the moment.
