The Goth wars

By Demonica…..

Miroku: She still doesn't own ay of us!

Sango: Yep, I still own myself.

Demonica: Get to work! You lazy bums!

Everyone: (Glare)

Demonica: or… when you feel like it (slips away)

Chapter 13…. Yay! My favourite number!

The next morning dawned early and grey, as most mornings do; Kagome was totally unawares of what awaited her that day.

"GET OUT OF BED!" a voice screamed in her ear as Kagome jumped violently. Inuyasha sat on the edge of her bed a smirk tilting up the corner of his lips.

"You must have a death wish" Kagome muttered and crawled back into bed. Just a few more minutes were all she needed.

"Yes I do, and sorry but I can't let you go back to sleep" he said as he deftly swiped her off of her feet and into his arms.

"Put me down Inuyasha!" she commanded as she was suddenly dumped into a tub, freezing cold water hit her face as she jumped up once again. But he was gone, his laughter ringing in her ears.

"YOU'RE DEAD!" she yelled as she pulled on her clothing, dumping her wet clothes in her hamper. She was bare foot as she tracked him down the hall to his room; the sliding door was open but inside it was silent.

"Inuyasha" she called, a faint scrape of nails on wood caught her attention as she ventured into the room. He was behind her and above, she could tell by the aura he was giving off and by the fact that she could hear him since every time he shifted his nails would rake across the wood. Not a natural noise in an old mansion.

She turned around and shrugged as she walked further into the room, a sly smile stretching across her face as he landed behind her.

"Good morning Inuyasha" she said as she quickly ducked and tackled him. Inuyasha looked at her in surprise, how had she heard him? That was not normal for human to be able to do that… wait, no, his brain was being slow again. She was a priestess to some varying degree, so she probably sensed his aura anyway.

"Wow aren't we a wee bit slow in the Mornings" Kagome's tantalizing voice called over him. He looked up to see her pretty face surrounded by a curtain of her chocolate hair.

"Uh duh…" was his intelligent reply as she laughed and climbed off of him. She pulled her hair behind her ears and walked towards the elevator, a fierce blush pulsing into her cheeks.

Well, that was weird. Inuyasha thought as he propped himself onto his elbows. That's when he noticed it.

"SHIT!" the curse was heard all over the house.

Sesshomaru laughed quietly into his coffee cup as Shippo rolled his eyes and Rin giggled. Sango and Miroku exchanged amused looks before Kagome walked into the kitchen, her cheeks slightly pink.

"You really shouldn't tease him Kagome" Rin said as Kagome's face did an amazing interpretation of a tomato. Everyone else snickered into their plates before Inuyasha appeared, his hair soaking and him looking more than a little irked.

"So how's your little friend Inu?" Shippo asked as Inuyasha slapped on his cocky smirk.

"My 'little friend' isn't so little lets say that" He said as Kagome stiffened and the other two women looked ill. The guys seemed slightly amused before the morning resumed to being its normal boring self.

(Later….)

"No… More…RUNNING!" Kagome panted as she dropped onto the ground after running around the training area for over two hours. Inuyasha bent over her as she blew a stray strand out of her face.

"Well you're lucky, you're finished with running but now you get to climb" He pointed to the rope climb as she moaned and rolled onto her side.

"Come on Kagome!" Miroku called from his vantage point on the top of the wall climb. Sango was up there as well.

"PERVERT!" followed by a whap-tham of Sango's boomerang ensued before Miroku toppled off of the wall to be caught by Inuyasha and lowered to the ground.

Kagome sighed; at least this was the last day of training before school…

(Later again…)

Oh how wrong she could be. After the training, which happened to be the warm up Sesshomaru began the actual pre-exam. So here Kagome was, partnered against Inuyasha and supposed to fight him until he was either knocked out or drew blood.

"Are you ready?" Sesshomaru called as Inuyasha rolled his eyes and flipped his half brother the bird. "I'll take that as a yes" he said. "GO!" and so the exam begun.

Kagome was still leaning against the tree as she had been since Practice had finished, Inuyasha was in a crouch a couple feet away watching her to see if she moved. It was a stand off for a few minutes before Kagome suddenly moved, causing Inuyasha to react purely on instincts. He veered to the right as she did, not watching as her left leg caught him across his shoulder and his head. Kagome saw Rin scribble something down as Inuyasha lurched at her again, Kagome ducked as she felt the fabric of her shirt rip and threw out her right fist into his stomach. It didn't do much but I gained her more points as the fighting escalated.

"Would you stay still!" Inuyasha snapped as she feinted again and managed to grab his long hair so he was on his knees, looking up at her with his head craned back. He actually looked frightened for a moment before she gave him a firm kick in the butt, sending him sprawling into the dirt with a huge foot print on his pants.

"Because if I move you can't hit me" she said as something moved behind her back, looking behind her she saw Sango look at her in horror as Kagome looked at the boomerang that was coming her way. Without realising it Kagome dove the right, the boomerang just missing her by inches as Inuyasha looked upon the scene in horror.

Suddenly she felt someone close their arms around her and a soothing voice calling her name.

"Times up!" Sessh called as everyone on the field looked in his direction. Rin trotted up behind him brandishing a clipboard with sheets upon sheets of paper.

"Good news everyone! You pass! And Kagome with what you just demonstrated you would be between a level 6-8 miko. Sango 6-8 demon slayer and Miroku 6-8 monk.

That's fairly good since there's only 10 levels." Rin said as Kagome looked up to see Inuyasha behind her, holding her firmly in place against his chest.

"Hey what level are you?" Kagome poked Inuyasha, her contact seemed to bring back to reality as he looked down.

"I'm a level 9 Demon" He said with a shrug as he let her go and stood. Sesshomaru looked at his watch as Shippo ran out from the house with a manila folder.

"The school just dropped this off via messenger" He said as he came to a stop in front of Sesshomaru. Sessh took the folder and opened it.

"Dear students of Demonicus,

As you have been informed Entrance exams are to take place on the fortnight from when you receive this letter. For all students already placed, your schedules are enclosed as well as a list of materials needed for this coming year.

We hope to see you in the near future…

Blah, blah, blah… Mr. L" Sesshomaru read before passing out the schedules, a round of sighs and squeals followed.

"Aw man not Roach again. He's an ass when it comes to Physics" Inuyasha sighed as he continued to growl at a low volume. Shippo sighed too.

"Yeah I have Imogene for training, I can't stand him" Shippo rolled his eyes. After more schedule debating Sesshomaru cleared his throat.

"Well since we have been given the time for the exams… we'll just have to wait it out." He said as he began walking back into the house.

This was going to be a long four days, Kagome thought as she followed the troop into the house.

Kagome lay awake. It was the night before the exam and she was wired. What if she failed? What would happen then? Would she get thrown out? No, they wouldn't do that she needed an education. Would they put her in regular school? Hmm… that sounded most likely.

Sigh.

This wasn't getting her anywhere; she needed to go for a walk, something to clear her head. Kagome rolled out of her bed, leaving the warm covers before she pulled the door to her room open and stepped outside. The corridor was fairly well lit thanks to the full moon shinning through the windows.

Tiptoeing past the guy's rooms she took the elevator to the elevator she pulled the lever to go up. The quiet whirring of gears were all that accompanied her as she waited for the elevator to come to a stop.

Finally the doors opened and a cool breeze swept into the elevator, followed by a few loose leaves. She stepped out onto the roof, it was flat and a small manicured bonsai decorated a generous portion. A faint breeze ruffled the branches of small cherry trees and maples, stirring them into a graceful dancing sway.

This was a place she could get away; climbing into the tangle of bamboo and cherry trees. She passed large rocks and a very well groomed patch of grass that looked very, very soft that's when she saw it. The huge old Oak tree. It seemed out of place in the bonsai garden with its tangled roots and enormous trunk stretching into its green foliage where its branches reached for the heavens.

She reached out and touched the trunk unconsciously, the bark smooth and warm against her fingers. A smile crossed her lips, for what reason she didn't know but it was something that came only from something pure.

Looking up she spotted a lower branch as she jumped onto it easily. She surprised herself, that branch was a good six feet from the ground, her training had paid off. She continued to look for branches until she sat at the very top, looking out she saw the entire area that was the Takahashi mansion. Hundreds of hectares of untouched old growth forest, the mansion being the only building as far as the eye could see. There was only one road that could be seen snaking through the trees until it was little more than a line in the trees.

Kagome looked up at the stars, they were so clear here. It was almost like there was no pollution to block the skies, giving each star its own chance to shine and the Milky Way to actually look milky.

"I see you've found my hiding place" a silky voice said in her ear. Kagome jumped, loosing her balance and swinging under the tree branch only holding on by her knees. She looked up; Inuyasha sat there, a smug smirk on his up side down face. She glared upward before a pair of hands brought the world right side up. She found herself straddling the branch in front of him as he leant back against the trunk of the tree.

"Nervous about the pre exam?" He asked, her mouth had gone dry, how had he guess what was going through her head exactly? All she managed was a jerky nod. He shifted against the bark, his red PJ bottoms falling lower on his hips. "Well, I could give you some practice for the exam I went through" his comment floated through the air as she turned to look at him, a pleading look on her face. His smirk grew "but the catch is, is that every time I land a blow you have to tell me something about you and vice versa of course" Kagome's eyes widened before they narrowed, he was so despicable, he knew he would get a lot of information out of her because he was faster, ass.

But, on the other hand she needed the practice. She picked the lesser of two evils.

"You have a deal, lets go" She said as he wrapped an arm around her waist and dropped out of the tree. Kagome closed her eyes, if she had attempted that she would've broken a leg for sure. He chuckled before letting her go.

"Ok this is a free spar, anything goes… and don't fight dirty Kagome" he said as she crouched into the starting pose. He crouched too as, suddenly he was behind her. She screamed, he clapped his hands over his ears as she flipped him onto his back.

"What's your favourite colour?" she asked as he rolled his eyes.

"Blood red" he said as his legs caught around hers causing her to fall to the gravel on her bottom. "Boxers, bikini or thong?" he asked as Kagome rolled her eyes as she smiled deviously.

"A mix of all three" she said as she rolled over him, pinning him to the ground. Inuyasha gave a slight moan at the imagery she had put into his head "Now, total amount of girl friends?" she asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"none" he said softly as he rolled so that he was over top of her, now Kagome couldn't have that! In one deft movement she sprung her legs underneath his chest and threw him off of her. He landed with a thud as she got to her feet.

"Really Inuyasha? I thought you would be more of a ladies man" she said as he growled playfully. Kagome gave a look of mock terror as she fled down the light sandy path. She looked for somewhere to hide as she picked a thicket of Bamboo was as good as any other. Ducking into the thick branches she began winding her way around to confuse him.

Inuyasha followed her to her hideout, a confident smirk on his face.

"I am a ladies man Kagome! But not for them all!" he said as he ducked into the thicket.

Kagome came out on the other side, hair slightly tousled and her cotton PJ pants were slightly torn but what the hell she needed a real place to ambush him. Seeing the enormous tree again, she had a plan.

Inuyasha had been back and forth throughout the entire bamboo patch but, no Kagome. A low growl of annoyance tore from him as he stalked out of the bamboo patch.

"Kagome where are you!" he barked (no pun intended) as something heavy dropped onto his shoulders, flattening him to the ground.

"I'm right here, so why did you really go away after I left elementary school? Was it really reform school?" she asked as he propped his head with one arm that he wasn't lying on.

"I actually didn't go away to reform school I actually came to the demon school here. Then the plan was to say that I had gone away to reform school. The demon school was much like reform school except for the fact that they're a whole lot nicer" He shrugged as he suddenly flipped her and she was once again pinned underneath him. "So Kagome, why are you so addicted to pop tarts?" he asked as Kagome shrugged.

"Long story short, comfort food" she said as she again reversed the positions; Inuyasha landing on his back with a thump. "Why do you always wear long sweaters?" she asked as a fearful and ashamed look flashed into his golden eyes before he shrugged and rolled up his sleeves. Two red and black striped arm warmers covered the main part of his arm, but what really amazed her was the fact that he had about fifty live strong bracelets of different colours adorning each arm.

"Yeah, I think they're kind of dorky but I like…them." He said as a wan smile covered his lips.

He was hiding something; and Kagome knew it. She smiled as if she believed his was real. That seemed to make him feel better as Kagome actually felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her. She let out a yawn as Inuyasha's trademark smirk covered his face.

"Tired?" he asked as she gave him a no-duh glare.

"Thanks captain obvious, now can you get off of me? I wanna go back to my warm bed" she said as he climber off of her and helped her to her feet.

The trip back downstairs was quiet as both teens slipped off into their appropriate rooms for a good nights sleep… or what ever was left of a night for sleep.
