. : Thanks for your review!
On with the chapter!
Inuyasha's POV
I was heading right toward her, unable to stop. Seconds flew by as the distance between Kagome and I decreased. I saw her as she gasped, aware of me approaching her. She braced her self.
Normal POV
The hanyou crashed into Kagome, but he cushioned her against him for the fall. When the two finally stopped rolling, they were in a very intimate position, Kagome lying on top of him.
Kagome POV
I was bracing myself for a very hard landing, but instead of the hard ground, it was... a warm body. I had to admit that it felt right, lying there in Inuyasha's arms, but I jumped up, escaping the warmth. I could feel my face heat up and knew that my cheeks were getting redder by the second, despite the cold air. "Let's go to school Inuyasha." I heard myself saying, but my mind was still numb from the "embrace". I saw him nod in agreement, but when he hunched down, I was confused... what was he doing?
Inuyasha POV
I hunched down, thinking that with her on my back, we would arrive faster. I waited for her to get on, when she didn't. Turning around, I saw her puzzled face. I slapped my head, how was she to know that he was going to give her a ride?
"Climb on, we'll get there faster" With a nod and a slight blush, she climbed on. I took off with a great leap, jumping from building to building, with the school's roof coming up in the distance.
Kagome POV
The cold winter wind rushed through my hair, making me feel exhilarated. Inuyasha's soft silver tresses were blowing in my hair, tickling my face. An involuntary shiver crawled up my spine, from the frigid air. Inuyasha sensed this, and held on tighter, sharing is body warmth. I cuddled into his back, watching the sights of the city below us.
Inuyasha POV
My feet struck the pavement of the school roof. I bent down, letting Kagome off. I took the concealing necklace out of my pocket and put it on. Like a bucket of water pouring over me, the spell was cast, making my appearance human. It was crucial for me to "be" human because, let's just say that I was treated unfairly when I am hanyou. I looked up, revealing Kagome looking at me curiously.
"Where did you get that necklace?"
I just muttered an incoherent word that closely resembled mom. It satisfied Kagome's curiosity and she walked towards the door that led inside of the building. I followed her, since I didn't know where to go.
Kagome POV
I was walking down the staircase when I suddenly remembered to ask Inuyasha what his classes were. I turned around and asked him. It turned out that he had all the same classes as me, with the exception of art; he had a business type class. I led him down to the band room, since it was seventh hour. It was a coincidence, he played percussion while I the flute. I introduced him to the teacher and we took our instruments out of our lockers and rehearsed for the next hour. I had to admit that I was very impressed with Inuyasha's skill; it looked like he was playing the snare drum for ages. The bell signaled seventh hour ending and the beginning of eighth hour, P.E. I gave out a sigh of relief; it was the last class of the day! Inuyasha and I separated, going to our respected locker rooms. I headed to my locker cautiously, knowing that my friends would pounce on me, asking where I was that morning and such. I was putting on my shorts when two voices came from behind me.
"Kagome….." The voices said in unison.
"Uh-oh…"
I turned around to reveal my two best friends, Ayame and Sango. They looked like predators, ready to pounce on their prey. (A/N kind of scary doncha think? Lol^-^) I was ready though; ready to answer their barrage of questions. So, before they could fire, I said, "Wait, let me tell you the whole story after school, NO interruptions ok??" They both smiled, and said deal.
The trio walked out of the locker rooms to the gym. There were already some boys and girls there. Looking around, I spotted Inuyasha and gave him a wave, he waved back and smiled. And it looked like he was already making friends, with Miroku and a friendly rival with Kouga.
Another POV (Guess who this could be???)
I was sitting chatting with my friends, when I noticed a gorgeous guy walk out of the locker rooms, with silver locks and deep amber eyes. I knew it was love at first sight, even my cold façade couldn't help but blush A LITTLE (lol can you imagine Kikyo blushing?). Already, my friends had caught a look at him and were sighing. I was going to walk up to him and unleash my charms on him, but he waved to someone. I looked across the gym and saw Higurashi waving to him. My fists were clenched, angry, how DARE Higurashi steal MY man??? I looked back at my friends; they were also giving Higurashi looks of hate. But the teacher blew his whistle and we got into our lines and stretched and so on.
Normal POV
This was yet another boring day in gym she thought, as she stretched. She loved being active and all that, but on winter days such as these, the gym teachers had boring things planned. *TWEEEET* (sry that was supposed to be the gym whistle... lol…) Teams of six for a racing challenge! Hmmm, maybe not so boring today.. thought Kagome. As usual, Kagome, Sango and Ayame gathered into a team.
"We need three more!" Ayame shouted across the gym, to some people, hoping that three more people would join. Three people appeared, Inuyasha, Miroku and Kouga.
"My dear Sango!! We are reunited once again!" Miroku said dramatically, as he took her hands. 'Will you bear my child?" He asked earnestly. Sango slapped him. The other four just looked, not surprised at all, Miroku was known as the school's lecher but he was cute!
"Stop it you two, come on, the teacher's gonna give us directions!' Kagome hissed. She knew winning wasn't everything, but with this team, she knew they were going to be victorious. Basically, all they had to do was to race four other teams through the obstacle course around the gym. After a quick strategizing huddle, it took a while, since Miroku decided to grope Sango, they were ready. At the start line, Kikyo, Kagome, and three other girls were ready. A quick go was yelled from the gym teacher. All five competitors were running quickly, leaping a top of the hurdles. Kagome was tiring, but she didn't show it, she was the first to tag the next person, Sango, to signal them to go! Sango climbed the wall and grabbed hold of the monkey bars, her strong arms gliding from bar to bar. The four other girls had caught up and were directly behind her. But determined to win, she reached the end and tagged Inuyasha and Kouga. It was a three legged race, and despite the rivalry between them, they were surprisingly a great team. The last part was up to Miroku. He had to run to the finish line, leaping upon hurdles. It was a close race, but Kagome's team had come out on top!
Kikyo's POV
I was seething with anger; my team was by far the best, and was definitely going to win. But Higurashi's team just had to win. But what made me madder was that the hot guy was on her team! All of this anger almost made me drop my cold expression. However, I realized that my cold face was dropping so I regained my composure. I walked over to Higurashi's team to give compliments to MY man and give Kagome a piece of my mind.

Phew, I think I squeezed the last of my creativity to write this chapter!! I think that this chapter is ok. I just read over my two other chapters, and I guess I should have proofread more!! I kept going back and forth on POVs! Anyways, PLEASE review!! I think I will have the last chapter by next weekend, but it's UNCERTAIN!!! I know the gym is little too huge by the descriptions of the race... but let's just say the school has a VERY large funding!! ^-^ I think I will have another story too… I know, I know, I already have a story going on... but the idea is too hard to resist!! I think the plot is used but, I like the idea of it! Thanks again for your reviews!! They are what keep me going!! Until next time!!
