Gym, Kagome thought, I hate this class because the bruises on my legs are always hurting me. Finally they reached 2 doors that lead to one room and stepped inside. Inuyasha asked Kagome where he should go now. Kagome wrote ask: one of the teachers. So she left Inuyasha to go into the girls locker room and get ready for gym. As soon as she walked into the locker room one of the human girls shouted: "Look its the dirt demon." Kagome looked down and tried to ignore what they said. She thought of what she should say to them all the time but since her uncle died when she was 6 years old she never spoke a word.

Sometimes she wished that she could because she never did anything to deserve treatment like this. She walked to her locker and put her back pack inside. Kagome grabbed her gym clothes and changed in the bathroom. She couldnt change in front of the other girls like they did. She had too many bruises and already had enough attenition being ridiculed every hour.

She walked out and saw Inuyasha sitting by where she sat. She walked towards him while she tied her raven black hair into a pony tail. "Hey Kagome." said Inuyasha. "So you sit here too?" Kagome nodded to say yes. "Well well well look who it is Mrs. Dirty demon" said the voice of Li a girl whom Kagome hated since 1st grade. Li had gotten everyone to help her ridicule Kagome."Why Hello." she said to Inuyasha in a sluttish manner. She flipped her hair over her shoulder and twisted some of it. " Whats your name?" Kagome knew what Li was trying to she was trying to make it so Inuyasha and Kagome never become friends and so Inuyasha would hate Kagome. "Inuyasha" said Inuyasha he didn't really notice she was flirting with him, "and whats yours?" He showed no intrest in Li. Li twisted her hair and said my name is Li. "Do you wanna play basketball with us today?" she asked Inuyasha. Kagome lowered her head sadly and knew that if Inuyasha went with Li then Li would keep Inuyasha away from her and she'd never get to become friends with Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked at Kagome and noticed that she was sad again and was concearned for her so said , "No." Li looked insulted. She shook the fact that she was insulted and said "well thats okay Ill play whatever you play today." 'God this girl doesn't know when people don't want her.' Inuyasha thought annoyed she sat behind Inuyasha and started playing with his hair.Li said, "Your hair is so silky I love it." Inuyasha swatted Li's hand away from his silver hair. Kagome felt a bit happier knowing that Inuyasha didnt fall for Lis charms like most boys did.

Inuyasha sensed that Kagome felt a bit happier and smiled at her not knowing that he did. For some reason when she was happy he felt happy. Kagome covered her ears when she heard her teachers whistle blow loudly as usual. "Ow ow ow!" Inuyasha said, "Why didnt you warn me he was gonna do that!" Inuyasha asked Kagome while Kagome laughed silently.Inuyasha stared at her again. Kagome thought, I smiled again. I always smile around Inuyasha. "Okay students!" The teacher Mr. jaques said, "Today we are going to do random things today the teachers are busy so the students will pick what sport they want to play by themselves!" Kagome narrowed her eyes. The teachers are always busy. "Begin picking your sports!" The teacher said loudly. Inuyasha and Kagome stood up at the same time. "What are you going to do Kagome?" Inuyasha asked her, "Ill do whatever you do because Im new here." Kagome smiled slightly. It was as if Inuyasha was a lost puppy and he was now following her. Kagome started walking towards the hackey sacks but Inuyasha got lost due to the crowd of students. Kagome thought Inuyasha was still behind her so she grabbed two hackey sacks and turned to see he wasnt there. Inuyasha accidently bumped into someone. He found out it was Li. Her scent smelled like a cheap perfume. "Oh hello Inuyasha", Li said with her disgusting voice which she thought was cute. "where's Kagome?" She looked around and said, "Well I guess she isn't here so come play basketball with me. We can be on opposite teams I wanna see how well you play." "whatever" was all that came out of Inuyasha's mouth while Li started pulling her with him while he was still looking for Inuyasha. Kagome looked through the crowd and saw Inuyasha being pulled by Li so she had to hold back tears again. She went to the bleachers and started crying on the highest row of seats. She didnt want anyone to know she was crying. Inuyasha smelled tears and knew who's it was instantly. Inuyasha said ,without realizing it, "Kagome. Shes crying."

He jumped away from Li and followed Kagome's scent. Kagome was crying so she couldnt even tell that Inuyasha was right behind her. Without making a sound Inuyasha hugged her and apologized saying "Im sorry I lost you in the crowd." She was shocked so she stopped instantly and turned to see Inuyasha. "So do you wanna go play or stay here Kagome?" Inuyasha asked her. He didnt want to make her sad or mad her smile always made him feel good.

He then asked himself in his thoughts: 'do I like Kagome as more than a friend?' Kagome broke his chain of thought by shaking her head no. I nstead she sat down and put her cd player headphones on and listened to Let me be with you again. Inuyasha sat next to her and asked her for her notebook.Kagome pulled it out and handed it to him. "Thanks" Inuyasha said. Kagome thought and smiled, 'Inuyasha is really sweet and I'm glad he's one of the new students and not somebody else I think I may actually make some new friends.' Inuyasha was busy drawing so everytime she snuck a look at him she wasn't stared at. She started bopping her head to the song she was listening to. After about 10 minutes Kagome looked at what Inuyasha was drawing. She gasped in shock of what it was. It was a picture of her. But instead of it showing Kagome sad or something bad happening to her it was her smiling. How could he draw a picture of me when Im almost never smiling thought Kagome. He handed Kagome the picture as the teacher said Time to put the equipment away students! You keep the picture Kagome. Inuyasha said Kagome looked at the picture it was well detailed and it looked beautiful. Kagome hugged Inuyasha and started walking down the bleachers with him. Inuyasha took kagomes hand and started walking down with her and while he did Kagome's favorite song Let me be with you started playing.
