Curse of the dragon

CHAPTER 8 Eighth period

InuYasha stormed through the cafeteria doors like a king among peasants. His eyes gleamed in anticipation and he had a certain crackle of electricity in his aura. 'Today is defiantly one of the better days of my life,' he thought as he spun a chair around on its edge to sit next to Karon. He took a sip of the coke he had bought before the whole fight had erupted and sat back in his chair. A few moments later Miroku walked in behind the two and took a seat next to InuYasha, his eyes gleaming in mischief. Karon looked from one to the other then back again. She sighed finally and leaned in, "okay…what gives?"

Miroku smiled a wide grin at his friend and nearly shouted, "InuYasha is the cleverest son of a bitch I've ever met, that is what gives!"

Karon glared at the boy then narrowed her brow. Her eyes laughed at the two guys in front of her in a mocking way. "You two aren't…"

Both boys nearly spit out their drinks before she could finish her sentence. InuYasha was the first to recover from the remark. "Don't even finish that fuckin thought, bitch!"

Miroku put up his two hands in front of his chest defensively and responded, "I don't mean like that, you twisted girl you. I mean that he just managed to get himself a date with Kagome tomorrow night and me a date with Sango as well." He leaned back and put his feet up on the table. "I have a feeling this is going to be a good year!"

InuYasha laughed and crossed his arms. "Funny…I've been thinking that all day."

Miroku raised an eyebrow to the solemn look of disappointment that quickly passed over Karon's face but she faked a smile and muttered a, 'that's nice,' before busying herself in a notebook. Miroku reached out and laid a hand on Karon's that was placed on the table and gave her a sincere smile. "my dear girl…are you jealous?"

Karon paused for a moment then dragged her eyes up the boy in front her of. Her eyes narrowed as she hissed lowly back at him, "what would I have to be jealous of, Houshi? You?" her tone was spiteful and fury burned in a red blaze in her eyes.

"Hey losers."

All three kids turned quickly to see a boy approaching them. He walked swiftly, hardly looking up from the ground. He was wearing a dark blood red sweatshirt with a pair of cargo khakis shorts, and had the hood of the shirt up so that no one would see his face. Sitting down next to Miroku, he glared up at Karon, who had begun to simmer down, and gave her a smile. His attention then fell to the new guy. "Who's he?"

InuYasha glared at the boy who was now staring at him. He couldn't have been any older then fifteen years old. He nearly fell over when the boy turned his face to him. 'He looks just like Kagome!" he thought over and over. His eyes were the same chestnut brown and had the same oval shape. Shaking his head, he tried to find a point to start at. "Your that bitches brother, aren't you?"

The boy raised an eyebrow then sighed. "Which one?" he laughed at his own joke then held out his hand. "Names Souta…I'm Kagome's little brother." He stole a glance to where his sister normally would be sitting and looked surprised. Shaking his head, he looked back at InuYasha. "Not by choice, mind you." He waited for a moment as the hanyou stared at him and he recoiled his hand foolishly, his face turning slightly red. "Uhh…you are?"

InuYasha shook his head once more then sighed. "InuYasha." He stared at the boy before him for a long moment then shrugged. 'Opposites are in every family…Kagome must the perfect one and in an act of rebelling against the standards teachers must expect from him, he turned into this…a hood. This kid can't be any older then fifteen…. probably a freshman.'

"What are you staring at?"

InuYasha shook his head and realized he had been scrutinizing the boy. "Nothing important, kid." He sighed and looked over his shoulder at where Kagome and Sango would have been. He chuckled as he glared at Miroku. "Think I scared them from ever coming back in here?"

Souta followed his glare to the table and his face darkened a little. He remained quiet to listen to the conversation.

Miroku grinned and shrugged. "maybe…I don't think that happens so often ya know…someone standing up to the perfects."

Souta groaned and slapped a hand to his face. "what did my bitchy sister do now?"

InuYasha turned his attention to the boy and grinned wickedly. "its not what she did…its what she didn't do and what she is going to do to make up for it."

Miroku swiftly kicked InuYasha under the table earning a loud yelp from the demon. He smiled at Souta and covered for his friend. "What InuYasha means to say is that he is distressed to the fact that Kagome has yet to fall deeply and hopelessly in love with him and offer to bear him children."

Souta looked from Miroku to the seemingly angry boy then back at Miroku. "uhh…." He then burst into a fit of laughter. He threw his head back and continued to howl in his fit until he was able to subside the chuckles. "My sister…in love? Come on…with you?" he began to quake again with the infectious hilarity until he noticed the glare of the stranger. "He's serious? …You think my sister would ever fall for someone like you? Come on…she's smart, intelligent, exceedingly popular…the only guy who could get an ounce of her time would be Hojo…and she even rejects him! My sister is a prude and a down right selfish bitch! She would never give someone the time of day unless they were a movie star or had money…you…your already one of us. We…" he pointed to the four of them and then around the tables in the cafeteria, "we're no one to her. We don't exist." His eyes darkened as he pushed back his chair and rose to his feet. He shook his head and grabbed his backpack. "You're a hood…she's a perfect…get over it, it won't happen." He turned on his heels and stormed from the room, leaving three baffled teens at the table.

Miroku sighed deeply and shook his head. He gazed at Karon and asked, "was it something I said?"

InuYasha stared at the boy as he left confused. 'how can her own brother hold so much animosity towards his sister?' he sighed then felt a set of eyes staring at him. turning his head slowly, he found Kagome standing in the door, a few feet away from them. She had tears in her eyes as she stared at the door that Souta had just walked out of. Slowly, she turned her head to stare at the table full of gawking hoods. She shook her head very cautiously then directed her icy glare at InuYasha. "Bastard, isn't it enough that you feel the need to torment me? Leave me brother alone asshole!" she then turned on her heels and stormed from the cafeteria leaving the door swinging madly on its hinges behind her.

An eerie calm came over the cafeteria as everyone stared at the table next to the soda machine. No one spoke…everyone just waited to see what the new boy would do next.

InuYasha stood up so quickly that he knocked his chair over. He roughly grabbed Miroku's collar over the table and hurled him to his feet. "Lets get the hell out of dodge. Take me to our last class so I can go the fuck home."

Miroku nodded in fear and grabbed his book bag. He threw a glance at Karon then dragged the hanyou from the cafeteria and away from the prying eyes. Behind them, the bell for eighth period rang loudly, shattering the fragile calm.

Another set of eyes stared hard at the scene as it played out between the half-breed and the human. Sesshoumaru nodded as he heard the girl scream at his brother then storm from the premises. He nearly grinned as he watched his brother react in a very InuYasha like way…he threw a fit and left as well.

"what a waste of life those hoods are," Jaken commented from his seat next to Sesshoumaru. "always interrupting a good meal. I would have expected more from someone like Kagome, though. After all, she is perfect."

Sesshoumaru stared at the hamburger that lay on his lunch tray with disgust. With a wave of his hand, he sent the meal hurtling across the lunchroom with the tray, spraying it across a wall on the opposite side of the lunchroom. He regarded Jaken from the corner of his eyes as he did with all things that annoyed him. In his trademark emotionless tone, he commented, "no human is perfect, Jaken. I would have believed you would know better."

Jaken stammered before answering, "No…Sesshoumaru…I mean that she is a perfect. She is a girl who has amassed an abundant amount of popularity throughout the school. Everyone knows her name…everyone knows she is the perfect student, the perfect example…the perfect everything. That is why we call them the perfects…they are just that."

Sesshoumaru sneered at the demon before him. His voice remained clam though his eyes flashed with anger. "So tell me, Jaken, then what are we?"

"We are the ones who will rule the world…the perfects are merely our human counterparts…piece of us that aren't worthy enough to be demon. So they try to make up for it but in the end, they are just as weak as the losers of this place."

Sesshoumaru glared up to the source of the enchanting voice that overtook his ears. A woman had answered for Jaken, who now stood before Sesshoumaru. He glared her over quickly then sat back in his chair. She was beautiful, exquisite in every detail. Her raven black hair was tied neatly in a bun on the back of her head, held up by two wooden looking prongs. She wore a dark red Kimono that hugged her body tightly, exposing her every curve. Her eyes were a mesmerizing shade of ruby red that matched her lips. She looked like a porcelain doll, Sesshoumaru concluded as he stared at the outspoken girl.

She glared from Jaken to Sesshoumaru. She kept her ruby eyes trained on Sesshoumaru but spoke to the imp. "Jaken, you toad, you didn't tell me we had a new guest."

Jaken squeaked in his place and fell off his chair. "Lady Kagura…I apologize…"

Sesshoumaru pushed back his chair, banging it into Jaken's head as he swiftly stood. He glared into her eyes from a moment before either spoke. "My name is Sesshoumaru…I am new here…I moved here just this past weekend from Kyushu." He looked her up and down with his eyes and offered a tiny smirk. "and you are Kagura?"

The demon in front of him smiled in return and held out her hand. her fingers were long and elegant, each possessing a long and deadly polished nail. "hai…I am leader of the Elites."

Sesshoumaru reached out and took the woman's hand. he kept his eyes trained on hers the entire time as he leaned down and gently kissed the back of her hand. He then straightened his back and dropped her hand. "Charmed yet my lady…I fear that I shall be forced to knock you off your thrown. Kagura, when I join a gang, I become leader. No arguments about it."

The woman stared at Sesshoumaru then laughed lowly. It was a very dangerous sound that spewed from this demons mouth…one that someone would expect to hear right before they had their heart gauged out of their body. "Indeed." She stepped closer to Sesshoumaru and leaned into his ear. "Why would I let a demon with a half breed brother run this gang?" she stepped back and scowled, her voice rose in anger. "I am in charge here, demon. They…" she pointed to the table that they sat at then around the cafeteria, "they respect me…they listen to me. I am ruler of the Elite's and no one questions that. I don't know who you think you are gallivanting into this school and staking claim on my thrown but it will not be tolerated!"

Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow then reached out with lighting fast speed and wrapped an arm around her waist. He twisted her as he pulled her against his body, her back to his chest. He then reached up and wrapped his hand around her neck. Breaking the concealment spell around his hands, his razor sharp claws suddenly appeared, nearly breaking the skin on the girl's neck. He bent down and hissed into her ear, "tisk…tisk…Kagura. If you cannot control your emotions, you are no good to this group. I could kill you now…" He sneered at the startled looks from those at the table. No one jumped up to help his or her master, he noted. With a tiny grin he pushed the girl away from him, his claws vanishing under the spell. "But I shall reframe from doing so. This is my territory Kagura. Your fun time is over, this is my school now." Sesshoumaru reached down and grabbed his book bag. He began to walk from the table before calling over his shoulder, "get a move on it Jaken…now." Sesshoumaru walked away without looking back to see if Jaken was behind him. He didn't need to…he owned them all.

Miroku felt the hanyou's eyes piercing his back as they walked down the narrow crowded hallways of the school. He wasn't sure how to explain their last class to the demon without getting thumped or his ass kicked for that matter. 'He's not going to be a happy camper,' Miroku thought miserably as they neared the classroom. 'He's going to lash out and I know I'm gonna get the brunt of it.' he paused in front of the door and prayed the hanyou had not yet read the sign on the door. "We're here…come on…" He walked inside of the long room and could feel the hanyou freeze as he entered the door.

"Oh fuck no." the sound was more of primitive growl then actual words and got everyone's attention in the room.

Miroku winched as he turned around to face his friend. InuYasha was paused in the doorway, glaring about the room as if it were covered in dead bodies. 'He's horrified,' Miroku realized. He walked back up to his friend and reached for his arm. "Its not that bad, I promise."

InuYasha turned to glare at his friend in anger. "What the fuck do you mean it's not that bad? Do you fuckin even know what this is?"

Everyone in the room now turned to glare at the two in the doorway and quickly began to gossip amongst themselves at the current dilemma. There were giggles and blatant laughter.

Miroku gritted his teeth and pushed InuYasha out of the doorway into the hallway. "Look…I thought the same thing…"

InuYasha cut him off with a dark glare. "Don't fuckin tell me you enjoy this shit? It's…it's…" a appalled look played onto the hanyou's face as he stared at the his friend flabbergasted.

At that moment, Rin, Sango and Kagome passed the two by and froze. Rin paid no attention as she entered the hellish room as Sango and Kagome turned to glare at the boys over their right shoulders. Kagome's eyes rekindled the burning hatred as she stared at the hanyou in shock. With a loud, "humph," she grabbed Sango's arm and pulled her into the room.

Miroku glanced back at the hanyou who looked like he might have been more subjective to the idea since Kagome was a member of the class. "InuYasha…the teacher is really nice. He actually normally never shows up for the whole class and just lets us do whatever. It's not that bad…he'll understand if you talk to him if you're resentful about the idea. But you have to…" he winched at the angry glare from his friend.

"The hell I do!" InuYasha crossed his arms defiantly and gave Miroku a glare that could turn people to stone. "Not me…no fuckin chance in hell!"

Miroku sighed and muttered, "You need the credits to graduate. There is no other way! Sorry buddy, but you got to."

With a deep growl, InuYasha glared at the boy then sighed in defeat. "I fuckin hate this school."

Miroku smiled slightly as he grabbed his friend's arm and dragged him back into the dimly lit chorus room.

Yeah, I know…InuYasha in chorus…it just doesn't go. LOL. That's what's so great about it. Now I need suggestions as to a musical that the school can perform.  Don't worry, I will not get sappy with it at all! Hehe. Hope you enjoyed and don't forget, R&R!!!
