The Goth Wars

By Demonica….

Miroku: (yawns) we're still not hers… but these hours r killing me

Sango: (snore)

Miroku: yep.. Doesn't own us.(falls asleep next to Sango)

Chapter 14… and its like quarter to midnight here…yawn and I can't sleep.

Kagome wrung her hands nervously, this was it the big exam. The day had gone well, getting up to find school didn't start until 12 was a plus but she had to be there early for the sorting. They had all gone to the school via a transportation spell and had plenty of time to prepare for the exam.

"Now, when your time comes up go into the stadium through those double doors. We'll be out there." Inuyasha had said before they had departed. Now, two hours later they were just finishing the demons and moving onto the 'humans with powers' category.

She sighed for what seemed like the hundredth time, Sango and Miroku had given up trying to pacify her and were watching solemnly from the floor. Back and forth, back and forth, she stopped in mid stride as the announcer boomed the next category. Sango and Miroku's names were called as they left the quaint white sitting room. Then she was alone.

The campus had shocked her when she had arrived. Fifty buildings of ranging size were all over the area all attached to one another by sky walks. In the middle were a huge stadium and an equally large set of administrative buildings.

But now was not the time she was to be thinking about the campus when she hadn't even gotten past the first leg of the campus test…the pre-Exam.

The clock struck 3, three hours, she had been here three hours.

"Kagome Higurashi" the announcer boomed as she mechanically rose to her feet and walked down the long mat grey coloured hall. She pulled open the double doors only to be blinded by a light she had no clue where from. The whistle of a projectile was heard as she jumped, not knowing where to go but knowing staying in one position was dangerous. When the smoke cleared Kagome looked down onto an enormous field. It was easily four foot ball fields long and maybe five or six wide. On one side was a panel of judges, most of the seats were unoccupied except for a section in which people who made the cuts were sitting and a few older students who were watching for pure amusement. The seven judges all varied in age, sex and form. There were three demons two humans and what looked like a werewolf seated at the table as well as Sesshomaru who was looking thoroughly bored.

"Kagome Higurashi; Student number 156565990; division human with powers; pre exam. Your competitor is Yukari Shugosaki the rules are simple, first to a knock out or blood is the winner. You may begin." One of the judges said as a slender looking woman stepped out onto the field. She seemed to be almost like a robot in her movements and soon Kagome would find she was also very robotic in her attack.

Kagome hopped down to the field where she stood waiting for this machine girl to make the first move; she was being courteous. Yukari made the first move, a badly planned upper cut which Kagome caught her arm and sent her spinning onto her back. This seemed to shock everyone in the stands for a moment before the girl got back to her feet.

"I must admit, you're fast" she said as she tried to kick Kagome's legs out from underneath her. Kagome jumped and brought her feet down so that she landed with one heel between Yukari's shoulder blades, knocking the wind out of her.

"Round over!" shouted one of the judges as a team of medics ran to the field to take Yukari away. Kagome looked at the judges; they seemed more than pleased as they brought out a larger human, this time a guy. "Yuko Nagasaki" the judges announced as he immediately ran at her. Kagome looked at him in disbelief as at the last moment she side stepped as he went tumbling into the dirt from his momentum. The stadium burst into rounds of giggles as Yuko dusted off his uniform.

"You're going to wish you never met me girly" he snapped as he tried to round house kick her. At the same time, Kagome dropped to the dirt floor and swung her leg out knocking him flat off of his feet. Then he did something Kagome never saw coming, he released and energy attack on her.

"Revenge of the pyre!" he yelled as an enormous ball of energy came from him. Kagome screamed and threw her hands in front of her. Unbeknownst to her a light pink shield was created around her, throwing the ball of energy off and into some vacant seats off to one side. Kagome opened her eyes to see Yuko lying on the ground panting from physical exhaustion.

"Round over!" the judges yelled as the same medic team carried Yuko away. "Now for the final test. Kouga Ookami" Kagome's eyes widened as Kouga strutted out onto the field.

Oh.

Shit.

They pair exchanged stares before Kouga attacked, Kagome gave her trademark scream. Kouga's eyes widened as he clapped his hands over his ears to try to block out the noise. While he was distracted Kagome landed at three punch combo with a roundhouse kick, smacking him in the side of the head and down into the dirt.

"GO KAGOME!" someone shouted as she ignored them. Kouga looked up at her with a glare to make hell freeze over. Kagome backed away as Kouga stood and using his speed got behind her, he grabbed her arm and wrenched it behind her. Kagome felt the tension on her shoulder as he pulled her arm higher.

"Say mercy Kagome, I don't want to hurt you" he cooed as Kagome bit her lips from telling him he could stick it where the sun didn't shine. Her shoulder almost screamed as she heard the joints pop. Then she did something totally feminine, she slammed her heel down on his instep. A yelp of pain came from him as she rammed her elbow back into his solar plexus; he doubled over winded as she brought her leg around and knocked him into the dirt. He didn't seem too phased as he got to his feet and attacked her again, he moved too fast for her to see as he was suddenly behind her again. She turned and using his chest did a back flip and brought her hand up to smash to his nose. Blood ran down his chin as the judges called the round to an end.

"End of Round three, End of Exam." One of the judges shouted as a medical team ran out to get Kouga; he waved them off and just walked back to the medical shelter. Kagome smiled to herself that would show that creepy stalker who was master! That's when the Judges called her name.

"Kagome Higurashi. Level 9 Miko." Kagome fainted.

"Is she Okay?" Shippo's voice swam above her head.

"Let her get some air, and stop crowding me!" Inuyasha's irate voice was heard as her focus came back. Everyone was either sitting beside or around her in what looked like a dorm room of some sort.

"Hey look! She's awake!" Shippo said as a glass of water materialized in front of her nose. She drank greedily before she sat up.

"What happened?" she asked as her memory decided to be mean and leave her in the dust.

"Well they announced that you were a level nine Miko and you passed out" Sango said as she and Miroku looked at their friend cautiously in case she might faint again. But the exact opposite happened.

"I MADE IT WHOO HOO!" Kagome shouted as she jumped up and did some version of the happy dance while bouncing on the bed they had put her on. Everyone stared for a minute before she came back to earth and Sesshomaru walked in.

"I must say Kagome very impressive what you did to Kouga" he said as he took a seat next to his younger brother. Kagome's smile widened as Inuyasha gave her a wink, Sessh continued on. "So you're a level nine along with everyone else and Shippo you're still a level eight. Now, there has been another time change thanks to administration and the fact that the lightning brothers just blew a hole through buildings 1, 3 and 43. School won't start until those can be repaired since they hold 3 of the auditoriums for lower levels." Sessh finished as everyone shrugged.

"Can someone show me around, I think I'll probably get lost if I don't know where I'm going when school starts" Kagome said as Inuyasha nodded. Miroku and Sango thought it would be beneficial to stick around and learn as well. Shippo decided to stay for the hell of it as Sesshomaru and Rin left.

The campus… well that was a whole other story. The place was huge! Yet the classrooms looked slightly more modern than even the ones in Tokyo, plus their gyms and practice facilities were enormous with every type of weapon under the sun…err… surreal sky.

After the tour everyone returned to the mansion once again, Kagome was totally wiped. As soon as they stepped in the door she crashed onto a couch in the living room, Shippo sat on her hip as she stared up at the ceiling.

"I'm a level nine" she muttered as Inuyasha took a seat across from her. He seemed annoyed at something before Shippo found himself flat on his ass on the floor.

"What was that for!" he shouted as Inuyasha rolled his eyes. Kagome looked up and gave Inuyasha a glare; he returned it with all ferocity. Kagome kept it up until she just sighed and looked away.

"I'm not going to have a superficial fight with you" she said as Sesshomaru walked into the room carrying a brandy and what looked like a bottle of Irish beer. She grabbed the beer from him and proceeded to chug it as she walked towards the entertainment system at the far end of the wall.

Inuyasha and Sesshomaru stared as she proceeded to hook up the PS2 and put in the game super smash brothers. All the while drinking the beer she had snatched.

"Well I'll be damned" Shippo said from the floor, Inuyasha lifted his foot from the kids head as he sat up. Inuyasha continued to stare, what was her problem? One minute she was all happy and the next depressed. Women. He would never understand them as long as he lived, he swore it.

"So Inuyasha, looks like you're out of a beer" Sessho said taking a seat on the over stuffed armchair across from his half brother. Inuyasha just shrugged as he grabbed Sessh's brandy and proceeded to drink that. Shippo decided that this was an opportune moment to ask Kagome if he could join her in a game before his siblings began world war three over alcohol.

"Inuyasha please remove your mouth from my brandy" Sessh said as Inuyasha gave him a cocky smirk and licked the rim of the glass.

"D'you want it now?" he asked as Sessh's left eyebrow began to twitch. Within a second that Inuyasha had downed the brandy Sesshomaru had his brother pinned in a headlock that even had Kagome cheering for Sesshomaru.

"Get him Sessho get him!" Shippo yelled as Inuyasha flipped his brother over so that Sessh's arm was pinned behind his back. Kagome cheered on Inuyasha as the positions flipped again so that both brothers had each other in headlocks.

"Nice try dog face" Sessh said as he flipped Inuyasha over his shoulder. Inuyasha didn't have enough time to think as he came crashing down on top of Kagome. Kagome screamed and attempted to scramble out of the way before Inuyasha's right hand swung out and knocked her back along with him. Both teens slid a fair distance before coming to a stop on a Persian rug. Inuyasha shook his head to clear it from the ringing that had entered his ears.

"Kagome!" Shippo yelled as Inuyasha looked at the floor in front of himself. Kagome lay unconscious in front of him her black hair spread like a halo as Miroku and Sango reached the scene. Their clothes were slightly ruffled but that fact went unnoticed as Kagome blinked stupidly and opened her eyes.

"Are you okay!" Sango asked as Inuyasha attempted to get off of her but his arm seemed to not want to cooperate as he was sent to the floor in an awkward position. Kagome looked down, humour written across her face,

"Better question is to ask Inuyasha if he's okay" Kagome said as both she and he sat up, causing their heads to crack together sending them once again to the floor. Everyone else was sent into gales of laughter. Kagome rubbed her crown as Inuyasha just stayed motionless on the floor. Quickly shoving him off she got to her feet and looked down at Inuyasha who was still on the floor. She gave him a firm poke as everyone started to disperse back to their original plans for the evening, he didn't show any sign of moving so she decided to leave him in peace and go back to her video game.

Inuyasha lay on the ground, playing dead as he felt Kagome move him to the side and get up. Damn she had a hard head, his forehead was a little sore but he was a hanyou he would live. The tell tale signs of Kagome's video game were back up and running as blips and bleeps were heard from the other room. Sighing Inuyasha opened his eyes and got up. Sauntering over to the door way he leant on the door frame watching Kagome and Shippo battling for dominance in an electronic world.

Slowly he found himself staring at Kagome, the way her hair was pulled back into a ponytail and pieces framed her face like a curtain. The way her tongue stuck out of the side of her mouth as she concentrated on beating Shippo's fast thumbs. Even the way she laughed when she won, it was like music to his ears.

Inuyasha shook his head; what was wrong with him? He hadn't felt this way in… well… eons it was like he was happy, content. Kagome and Shippo had started another round of whoop-ass as he noticed more things about her, her fast reflexes and her long fingers. She seemed so tiny in his oversized sweater as she continued to battle.

He really needed to figure out what was wrong with himself. Turning away he headed to his room. Not for sleep, but to figure out what the hell was wrong with him. It wasn't like he liked her right? But he hadn't felt this way since the incident… no unhappy thoughts he was not going there. What was she doing to him? He couldn't even snap at anyone effectively anymore! Grr…

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow as Inuyasha passed him growling but said nothing as his brother continued to stomp to his room.

She was just a friend right? A really annoying friend who followed him around and smelled really nice… Inuyasha banged his head on the door frame. Muttering a string of curses he ducked inside of his room door, slamming it shut behind him with a fatal clack. He walked into his room and stood there, something was different. That's when it hit him, Kagome's scent was all over his room. Wait he wasn't in his room, this was Kagome's room! Rolling his eyes he turned around and proceeded to leave when a glint caught his eye. Turning around he saw it, a plain little red and black book. It seemed harmless enough, yet at the same time begged him to read it. He crossed the room and reached out for the book. But something held him back, this was Kagome's it was her personal stuff, should he read it? Would she care? What if something was written about him? A thousand thoughts ran through his mind.

Take it, Take me! The book almost seemed to scream as he swiped it off of the dresser and under his robes. Quickly exiting the room he heard footsteps coming down the hall accompanied by feminine laughter. The girls were coming… oh crap, oh royal crap. Looking around he saw a suit of armour (armor).

Kagome had a fun time downstairs with Shippo, after 12 rounds she was exhausted and quite frankly ready to drop. Sango gave her friend a quick hug as she entered her room. Kagome continued down the hall alone until she got to her room. Quietly she pulled open the door as a loud sneeze echoed in the hall. She jumped and turned around expecting someone to be behind her. There was no one. Casting a weary eye around she shrugged it off to mental tiredness, great she was hearing things. Entering the room she closed the door and plopped into bed.

Inuyasha sighed, the suit of armour he was in was so dusty! He couldn't refuse not to sneeze especially with his demonic sense of smell. Crawling out of his hiding place he opened his room door and crawled into his bed.

Kagome's journal forgotten under his robes.
