Chapter Three: Hunger could Lead to Anger

"Kagome!" Rin was screaming her head off. "Get up! Or else you'll be late for school!"

"GOD! Can't you let me sleep for a while more?" Kagome asked, annoyed by her elder cousin's intrusion into her privacy by stomping into her bedroom without asking her permission and causing such a racket early in the morning and of all places, HER BEDROOM.

"NO! And anyway, I am just being kind to you that I wake you up every morning so that you will always be in time for school!" Rin placed her both her hands on her hips.

"I know you want to be my mother that desperately but you needn't act like a mother!" Kagome said to piss Rin off.

"What? You're saying I'm very motherly and all? After all the years I've been taking care of you? You are so ungrateful!" Rin picked up a nearby pillow and threw it at Kagome's face. Kagome took another pillow and threw it back at Rin. They continued to have a pillow fight for another five minutes. A friendly one, of course. But apparently, it turned from a friendly one to an aggressive one because after their little fight with pillows, they gasped at what they had done. Pieces and pieces of cotton wool from the pillows were floating everywhere in the air, slowly falling to the ground. It was a wonderful and beautiful sight. For a nanosecond, they were staring at the floating cotton wool, awed by the sight. Then they plummeted back to reality and realized what a mess they had caused.

"It's all your fault! You threw the pillow at me first!" Kagome tried to push the blame to Rin.

"And you threw it back at me too! It's partly your fault and partly mine too! So," Rin smirked, "you are going to receive punishment!"

"Clean up your cotton-wool filled bedroom!" Rin said, "But of course I am not that mean, I will help you too."

For the next ten minutes, they were busy picking up and throwing pieces and pieces of cotton wool into the rubbish dump. When they were done, Rin looked at her watch and gasped. "KAGOME! You only have five more minutes to bathe and get changed into your school uniform! HURRY UP!"

"NANI? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Kagome was panicking. I can never make it in five minutes! she thought. She rushed to the bathroom and took a bath REALLY fast before rushing to change her clothes and get her bag.

"OH MY GOD! We are sooo going to be late! This is your first day in a new school! I don't want the teacher to have a bad impression on you! In order to make it in time to school, you've got to skip breakfast!" Rin said, all in a rush. The two of them were practically panicking. Rin and Kagome rushed down to get Rin's car.

Meanwhile...

"Inuyasha!" Sesshomaru said in a stern voice.

"Nani?" Inuyasha was still in his bed, irritated by his half brother's morning wake up call.

"Get up! You don't wish to be late for the first day of the semester, do you?" Sesshomaru drew Inuyasha's bedroom curtains. The morning sunshine shone in and as it was too glaring and bright, Inuyasha winced from the sunlight and shut his eyes immediately, still unwilling to get up from his cozy and warm bed.

"You have ten minutes to get up, wash up and eat your breakfast. The rest is up to you," Sesshomaru said and walked out of his younger half brother's filthy and messy bedroom.

"Okay," Inuyasha got up with a yawn and stretched his body. "I seriously think you are acting like a nagging mother."

"It's all thanks to me that you always manage to get to school on time. So, your human mum didn't teach you manners like saying a 'Thank you' to people who helped you?" Sesshomaru asked sarcastically.

"DO NOT SAY MY MOTHER IS A HUMAN! I KNOW THAT I AM A HANYOU! BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN LOOK DOWN ON ME!" Inuyasha yelled. He had always been looked down upon by people. Just because he was a hanyou, he was teased and bullied by his schoolmates. He had always hated school. School was like a hellhole to him. Everywhere he went; people would always point fingers at him behind his back. When he was young, he cried on some days after he got home from school. He had never known what was true friendship as he never had a friend to confide his feelings to. After a few years, when he had matured into a teenager, he still could not accept the fact that he was a hanyou.

After all the time people had condemned him, he was already used to it, but deep inside his heart, he had been crying, suffering in silence. He knew there were some other hanyou out there whose fate was the same as his, but he was still depressed. His mother was not much of a help either. He had always been under the care of his nanny. His father was a rich businessman. After he married Sesshomaru's demon mother, she gave birth to him but died after a few years due to an accident. Soon after his wife's death, he fell in love with Inuyasha's human mother and married her and she gave birth to him. Although new born babies were usually good news, but Inuyasha was one of those considered bad news. His family had always disliked him and his father once thought of abandoning him at an orphanage.

When Sesshomaru have finally graduated from university, his father gave him a huge sum of money to begin his own career. Sesshomaru bought his own house somewhere far away from his parents and lived there with Inuyasha as his father wanted to him to be independent and decided to let Inuyasha live with his elder half brother. After a few months when they had finally settled down, Sesshomaru decided to set up his own cafe. (A/N: Oops! Sorry for talking so much of their past! Let me continue their conversation!)

"I seriously think you need a chill pill."

"I don't care! I don't want to go to school! I hate school!"

"Oh, quit whining and get your butt of your bed and go to your damn school!"

"I AM out of my bed!"

"Whatever. I need to go now. I need to get my cafe started. Bye," Sesshomaru said as he left his house. He slammed the house door shut and walked off.

"Yeah, go away! I'll be better off without you!" Inuyasha stomped right into the bathroom. Normally, he would stumble into the bathroom as he was still sleepy but this quarrel seemed to have woken him up. He brushed his teeth and bathed. He hoped this starting semester would be better for him, but of course, he never had high hopes. He sighed and went to his bedroom to get changed into his school uniform. When he had done his daily routine of waking up and getting ready for school, he went out of his house and headed straight for the train to go to school. He sighed as he knew that another boring and hell-like semester would start soon. But he was wrong. Very wrong indeed.

Kagome's POV

"Rin!" Kagome called out to her elder cousin. Rin was driving Kagome to her school. The wind blew against their face as they were riding in a convertible. It was Rin's 21st birthday gift. When she finally passed her driving test, her father gave her a car on her birthday. That was what Rin told Kagome but of course, she never believed anyone would be so generous to give a car for a birthday gift. Unless that person was so rich he doesn't know what to spend on.

When Rin did not reply, she called out her name again. "What?" Rin asked, annoyed, "I'm trying to concentrate on driving so shut up for a while."

"I am hungry! Why can't you stop at some place where they sell finger food?" Kagome could feel her stomach grumble.

"I thought that someone who was weight-conscious would skip her breakfast," Rin said sarcastically.

"Stop it! I am getting angry now!"

"As the saying goes 'A hungry man is an angry man'. How true it is!"

"SHUT UP!"

"Okay, okay. Calm down. I'll get you some food," Rin spotted a cafe nearby and decided to stop there. She grabbed some food and gave it to Kagome. Kagome's complaint was that it was too oily for her to consume.

"Quit whining! Take it or leave it!"

"FINE."

YAY! I have completed another chapter of this fic! Sorry for putting Hidden Feelings on hold! (hehehe) Anyway, please review! Thank you. (By the way, nani is what in Japanese. I think I mentioned it in the previous chapter. I love using that word.)
