High School Tragedies, Old and New

Chapter Two: When Strangers Meet

Kagome yawned as she pressed her forehead against the cool metal of her locker. She had long ago decided that seven forty was a beastly hour to begin school. Closing her eyes, Kagome meant to only rest for a moment before heading to latin with Ayame. Just a moment and she'd be ready.. Kagome must have dozed off a bit because suddenly she was snapped back into reality as she heard the clearing of a throat next to her and immediately jumped away from the lockers as if the metal had burned her.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." A male voice drifted to her ears.

Kagome shook her head, "No..no, its fine. Can I help you?"

The man cocked his head, "Nope, not really. You were just sleeping on my locker."

Kagome blushed as the boy turned to his locker. "Oh, sorry about that."

"I'm Jiro."

Kagome yawned, "Kagome."

Jiro smiled, "You're new."

Too tired for a retort, Kagome nodded. Jiro smiled again and turned to retrieve his books. Kagome followed his example, as she was opening her locker - which was next to Jiro's - she snuck a peek at Jiro. He was a demon, though she wasn't sure what kind. He was tall, taller than Miroku - six two maybe? He had midnight black shaggy hair with electric green tips, natural or dyed Kagome couldn't tell. His eyes matched the green in his hair which gave quite a shock to the system, and the dust of freckles over his nose gave him a boyish look. He wore a maroon uniform, marking him a sophmore, just like her. Catching herself staring, Kagome quickly finished packing her books for the morning and shut her locker, heard the lock click, and began to walk away.

"Wait a sec, Kagome." Jiro called.

Turning around, Kagome waited.

"Where are you headed?"

"Latin and then geometery."

Jiro's eyes lit up, "Great! We have geometery together. I guess I'll see you there."

Kagome nodded, "See you later."

-------------

Walking into her latin classroom, Kagome scanned the room for Ayame.

"Kagome, over here!" Turning towards Ayame's call, Kagome made her way to where the wolf demon was sitting. Dropping her backpack under the desk next to Ayame, Kagome plopped unceremonisously into the desk and groaned. Ayame laughed, "Tired, Kagome?"

"Why the hell does school start so early, and its only the first week! Tokyo High didn't start until eight-thirty." Kagome mumbled.

Ayame messed with Kagome's hair affectionately, "Don't worry, it's always harder for the humans."

Kagome was about to respond when the teacher came in, looking at the very short man, Kagome wasn't sure of this was a joke. When the teacher was speaking, Kagome's shock only multiplied, his voice was so..squeaky.

Catching Ayame's gaze, she gave her a quizzical look. Shrugging, Ayame began to take notes and soon enough, Kagome did the same.

-------------

Stepping into geometery, Kagome found that she was one of the first to arrive, and decided to take a seat near the back. Sitting down and pulling out her book, Kagome didn't notice Jiro sit down next to her.

"My, are we focused."

Kagome jumped at the sound of Jiro's voice, "Do you always do that?"

"Do what?" Jiro asked.

"Just..pop up like that?"

Jiro smiled, "Its one of my many talents."

Kagome smiled, Jiro was cute. It was only her first week, but hey, she could do this flirting thing he was obviously trying to start. Leaning toward Jiro, Kagome asked, "Many talents huh? You don't seem so great."

Catching on, Jiro leaned in closer to Kagome and continued, "Ouch, that hurts. Well would you like a demonstration?"

"Well, it depends on the so-called talent."

"Well, there are the many talents. All of them I'd be happy to show you." Jiro added expectantly.

Kagome smiled, "I don't doubt that."

Jiro was about to respond when the teacher walked in. Smiling as their flirtation was cute short, Kagome turned her attention to the assignment he was giving them. Pulling out her agenda, she copied down the assignment and began to work the complex math problems. After what seemed like an eternity - and an intense headache later - the bell rang. Slipping her books into her bag, she was about to slip the bag over her shoulders when suddenly the bag was taken out of her hands.

"Can't have you humans breaking your backs under the weight of these books, can we? Especially the pretty ones." Jiro purred.

Kagome rolled her eyes, "You don't even know where I'm going."

"Doesn't matter. I have a free period, and I'm going to McDonalds with some friends."

Kagome shrugged, "All right but I'm going to drawing, third floor other building."

"All the more reason for me to carry your bag." Jiro smiled.

Walking into the cafeteria, Kagome spotted Kouga and sat down next to him. Pulling out her lunch, she frowned when she realized she forgot to bring her usual bottle of water to drink. About to pull out her wallet to go buy one for herself, Kagome blinked when all of the sudden a one-dollar-bill was thrust in her face. Following the hand that held it, her gaze met with Kouga's.

"Go on, take it. It won't bite, I promise." Kouga chuckled.

Taking the dollar Kagome thanked Kouga and made her way to the vending machines. Shoving the dollar into the slot, Kagome waited impatiently for her water, she was so hungry! Kagome grabbed her drink and turned to head back to the table, not paying attention to where she was going - Kagome tripped over someone's backpack, and would've fallen to the ground had she not fell unto some sophmore's chest. How awkward.

Blushing, Kagome began to apologize.

"Well, this is a nice surprise." Jiro smirked.

Looking up from Jiro's chest, Kagome smiled, "Yeah, I guess so."

"Do you often fall into some random person's arms?"

"Nah, they're usually someone I know."

Jiro smiled, "Ah, I see. But I have a hint for you," He leaned in close to whisper in her ear, "When you fall, at least make it look like an accident. Not like just then, that was plainly obvious that you wanted me to catch you." He slipped a piece of scrap paper into her hand, "Surprised?"

Kagome almost fell again, when Jiro walked away so abruptly. She hadn't realized they were standing so close, or that she was holding onto him for balance. Catching herself before she fell, she opened the crumpled paper - and her eyes widened at what she saw.

"He gave me his phone number?" She whispered.

Sitting down at her spot next to Kouga, she noticed his gaze travel to Jiro's phone number, still in her hand. He smirked, "Looks like someone got a phone num-ber." He sang.

Sango snatched the paper from her hands before she could react.

"Judging by the way you two were acting - I'd say Jiro had a thing for you." Kouga teased, "And you him."

Kagome shook her head, "I just met him this morning, his locker's next to mine."

Sango blanched, "Jiro? Jiro Kanzaki? Lucky, he's one of the hottest boys in school. I've personally had a little girl-crush on him since 8th grade."

Miroku jumped to his feet, and viciously grabbed Sango's hands, "Love, tell me it isn't so."

Yanking her hands back, Sango turned back to her lunch, "Stop it, Houshi."

"Love, how you wound me." Miroku proclaimed. Kagome shook her head as she watched his gaze travel to her backside, and soon - as expected - his hand followed.

"Houshi!" Sango yelled, "I swear to God, you never know when to quit!" The whole cafeteria was now watching with interest. By now, the entire school knew of Miroku's lecherous ways. Still, it never got old - everyone found it so entertaining, especially when he was slapped.

"You are such a pervert!" Slap. Yep, there it was.

Miroku held his hand to his redenning cheek, "Love, how can you be so cruel?"

Kagome chuckled at the now almost-familiar scene as the two continued to bicker. Taking back Jiro's phone number and programming it into her phone, Kagome turned to Kouga when a new face sat down at their table. It was a boy and he was tall, about the same height at Miroku and Kouga - Kagome guessed. He had silver-white hair with extremely cute puppy ears on thee top of his head that twitched every now and then. He wore maroon, labeling him a sophmore like the rest of them, save for Shippo. But none of that surprised Kagome, what surprised her were the boy's eyes, a bright amber she knew she'd seen before.

"InuYasha, so you're finally out of detention?" Kouga greeted him.

So this is InuYasha Takeda.

"Yeah, no thanks to Kaede at all - the old hag has it in for me." InuYasha growled.

"InuYasha, have you met Kagome?" Sango stepped in.

InuYasha nodded his head toward Kagome, and she smiled back in return.

"So, being that its our first friday during the school year, and that we survived the first week - what's going on tonight?" Ayame asked.

"Everyone come to my house for the night, my parents are out of town until monday." Kouga answered.

Kagome glanced down to her lunch, was she invited?

"Hey Kagome, what's your address? I'll give you a ride cause Kouga's house is extremely hard to find." Sango offered.

Smiling Kagome told Sango the address of her family's shrine.

"Hey, isn't that right by your house InuYasha?" Miroku asked.

InuYasha nodded, "Yeah, right next door."

Sango clapped her hands in glee, "Great! Then InuYasha'll give you a ride to Kouga's, that way I can drop Kohaku off somewhere cause I know he'll need a ride. It'll be easier. You don't mind, do you InuYasha?"

InuYasha shook his head.

And that was that.

END.
