From Hatred to Love
Chapter 15- Back To School
Inuyasha walked towards the gates of his house. The gates immediately flew open to allow him to pass. It was now Sunday afternoon in Japan. As soon as the hanyou took his first step in a smiling Rin greeted him. She gave him a quick hug before stepping back to talk to him.
"Inuyasha!" she said energetically. "How was the trip?"
"It was okay!" he said. Sesshoumaru smirked at him, which got Inuyasha confused. The hanyou folded his arms and cocked his head to the side.
"What?" he snapped. Sesshoumaru's smirk never left his face. He knew that his half brother never liked when he smirked because that obviously meant that he knew something that Inuyasha hadn't told them. Inuyasha turned his face back to face the couple.
"Tell me already!" Inuyasha said. It sounded more like a plead than a demand. Sesshoumaru chuckled. He loved to annoy his brother. It was very amusing to see him annoyed and confused.
"Sessy," Rin said making him look at her. "Aren't you going to tell him?" The youkai nodded and turned back to his half sibling.
"Your spring break seemed to be more fun than you describe it to be," Sesshoumaru said. Inuyasha raised on eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
"I bet you had lots of fun with a certain girl there since her scent is all over you," he said making it clearer. Inuyasha understood what he said and his cheeks turned a dark shade of red. Rin took notice to this and got excited.
"Who's the girl Inuyasha?" she asked suddenly and ran to his side. She began loading Inuyasha with tones of questions. " What's her name? Did you kiss her? Is she your girlfriend? Do I know her? How pretty is she? What did you two do together? Is she from around here? Inuyasha answer already!"
Inuyasha's cheeks turned even redder with each question Rin asked. He didn't know what to say. He was confused.
"Uh..." he began trying to clear his mid from all the thoughts concerning Kagome. "We didn't do anything. She was my roommate, that's all!" Sesshoumaru laughed quietly at Inuaysha's answer. " I've got…to...to unpack!"
As soon as those words came out from his mouth, Inuyasha dashed upstairs. Rin folded her arms and walked up to her finance.
"Why won't he tell me anything?' she asked him. Sesshoumaru gave a rare smile and took Rin's hand in his.
"I think someone has a little crush on a girl but doesn't know it," he said. Rin looked at him even more confused.
"Huh?"
"Inuyasha likes the girl he shared a hotel room with," Sesshoumaru laid it down for her. Rin nodded and began to walk through the gardens with him. She leaned closer to him and smiled.
"Who is she?" Rin asked. "Is it a familiar scent?" Sesshoumaru looked down at Rin whose eyes were now closed.
"Absolutely," he said and smiled down at her. Rin cracked one eye open.
"Tell me already!" she urged and gave him a priceless smile.
"Kagome," he said. Rin's heart skipped a beat. Her eyes opened wide and the smile on her face brightened. She stooped and looked up at her finance with pleading eyes.
"You're not kidding, right?" she asked. The youkai shook his head at her answer. Rin leaped up in joy and hugged the man she loved joyfully.
"You mean he doesn't hate her?"
"The way how his face turned red when I mentioned it I think he likes her a lot!"
Rin pulled out from his hug, clasped her hands together and looked up at the sky with a dreamy look on her face. "Inuyasha and Kagome! They would make the sweetest couple. I could see their wedding now. Both of them walking down the aisle, kissing and hugging." Rin sighed and she curled her hands into fists with a determined look on her face. "We must invite Kagome to our wedding. She'll be a bride's mate. All of us girls will make her look so gorgeous so that Inuyasha wouldn't be able to take his eyes off her. He'll he entranced!" Rin sighed again.
Sesshoumaru shrugged his shoulders. "Okay but remember you're the bride, not Kagome!" he said. "Just don't mention it to Inuyasha, yet." Rin nodded and cuddled up next to her husband to be.
"I love you," she whispered and leaned up to kiss him gently on the lips.
"I love you too," he responded and smiled down at her.
At that very moment, when Rin and Sesshoumau were having there little talk, not far from the mansion was the Higurashi shrine. Kagome was walking up the many stairs while dragging her small suitcase behind her.
When she had arrived at the top the girl gave a sigh of relief. She then felt two hands encircle her waist. Looking down Kagome saw her little brother, Souta giving her a huge hug. Kagome smiled and keeled down to hug him. It took a while for him to let go for his sister
"Kagome! You're back I missed you a whole lot!" he said. Kagome ruffled his hair and gave him a kiss on his cheek. "Don't go away for spring break again!"
"Sure I won't but if you miss me so much when I go away for one week, imagine when I go away to collage!" Kagome exclaimed. Souta's eyes widened. Kagome sensed his worry and gave him another hug.
"Kagome!" came a highly energetic voice. The miko didn't have to look up to see who it was. Mrs. Higurashi was running towards her, followed by Grandpa who was walking rather slowly although Kagome knew that he could by pass her mother when he ran.
Mrs. Higurashi gave her daughter a big hug, followed by her grandpa.
"So how did it go?" Mrs. Higurashi asked Kagome. "Did you meet any boys there?"
Kagome's face turned a bright pink. "Mama!" she snapped.
"Ewwwwwwwwwww," Souta said. "Gross. Kagome doesn't have a boyfriend. Right Kagome?"
"No I don't but mama really wants me to have one!" Kagome said and took a quick glance at her mother.
"So did my brave granddaughter defeat any powerful youkai on her tip?" Grandpa asked. Kagome shook her head.
"Inuyasha did," Kagome said and received a smile from her mother.
"Inuyasha!" she began. "Kagome you've never said that name around here for years!"
Kagome looked down when she felt Souta tug at her shirt to get her attention.
"Who's Inuyasha?" Mrs. Higurashi, seeing Kagome didn't really want to talk about the hanyou quickly came in between the two.
"Kagome you'd better unpack your bag and get some rest. School's tomorrow," she said and pushed her daughter inside. Kagome raised one of her eyebrows. It was only four o' clock.
Inuyasha gave a loud sigh as he walked through the halls with Miroku. He was back at school again. That meant more homework and seeing even more of Kikyou than he could handle. He was glad about one thing though; he was out of the house. That meant he was away from Sesshoumaru who had teased him about his roommate and Rin who was overreacting over what color napkins to use for the wedding.
"What are you so sad about?" Miroku asked after Inuyasha sighed loudly. Inuyasha shook his head and looked forward.
"Nothing," he replied.
Miroku shrugged his shoulders and turned around when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Sango and Kagome were behind them both smiling.
"Hey guys! " Kagome greeted in an over excited tone.
"Hi," they both replied dully.
"I'm so excited for school!" Sango began and clutched her books tighter to her chest. "I love the atmosphere. So alive, so exciting!"
"Yeah! Spring Break was great but I'm really glad to be back at school!" Kagome added. The two boys raised one eyebrow. They hadn't known that the two would have been so energetic and excited about being back. They were always gloomy and bored when school started back.
"I feel so happy for you," Inuyasha said sarcastically and started to walk again. Sango and Kagome blinked and ran ahead to catch up with the boys.
"Well sorry!" Sango said. "We were just trying to look on the bright side of things."
"I assume you guys don't do that," Kagome said. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and the four remained quiet. Sango finally shook her head and stopped in front of the group.
"I'm leaving! I've got class!" she said and left before anyone could say anything.
"I've got Math with her so I'll be going too," Miroku said and followed behind her. Inuyasha and Kagome watched the two leave. Inuyasha looked confused.
"Why did they leave?" he asked.
"I don't know about Miroku but Sango left because of the lack of enthusiasm coming from you and Miroku."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes again. "You girls are weird."
Kikyou walked into her science class with her head high with pride. She made sure to look her best for the reopening of school. He calmness was broken when her eyes caught the sight of Inuyasha and Kagome sitting together, talking. She stood still just staring at the two in shock. Her hands balled into tight fists when Kagome smiled at him and gave a small laugh.
Curious, about their conversation Kikyou took a seat behind them. Of course that seat was already taken but she managed to shove the two girls who were sitting there to the ground.
Kagome couldn't help but laugh. Inuyasha had told her bout Rin's obsession with napkins. He had also told her about the weeding happening in May. Kagome was so happy for the two and wished to congratulate them.
"She can't decide between pale blue or baby blue," Inuyasha said. Kagome sweat dropped.
"Aren't they practically the same thing?' she asked.
"Not to her," Inuyasha pointed out. "She says that pale blue is a tad bit lighter."
"Oh," Kagome said. She gave a small chuckle, imaging Rin nagging an annoyed Sesshoumaru to death about napkins. "Poor Sesshoumaru. He must be on the verge of insanity."
Inuyasha couldn't help but smile at Kagome's comment. "He is. Rin is so annoying sometimes. I lock myself in my room and pretend I'm sleeping when she starts to talk about the wedding."
Kagome rested a hand on his shoulder with a smile on her face. " I feel your pain." She said and gave a small laugh. "Souta annoys me. Not that much though." Inuyasha chuckled.
Before Kikyou could listen to anymore Mrs. Kilo entered the room with a bright smile on her face. Resting her briefcase on the desk she greeted the students but received only a few answers. Walking in front of the desk she began her lesson.
Inuyasha was falling asleep during the lesson. The felt himself getting drowsy and rested his head on his hand. He looked over at Kagome she was busy taking notes and paying close attention. Inuyasha stared up languidly at Mrs. Kilo and the last thing he remembered was Mrs. Kilo telling the class to take notes.
It felt like only five minutes he had slept before someone gave him a hard shove causing him to hit his head on the desk. Opening his eyes slightly he saw brown eyes staring at him. He gave a yawn and looked at the person. It was Kagome; she gave her eyes a slight role before standing up.
"I can't believe that you slept through that whole class," Kagome said. "It was so interesting."
Inuyasha stood up and began to walk beside the miko. "Science is not my subject. What was she talking about anyway?"
"Don't worry about it," Kagome said. Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't care and pushed the doors open to the gym.
"How can science bore you? It's such a great subject," Kagome said.
"How can science interest you? It's only about chemicals and stuff. It's a subject for freaks!" he exclaimed.
"Oh," Kagome began with an angry look on her face. "So that means I'm suddenly a freak to you?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha blinked and then understood what she was saying.
"I didn't mean it like that!" he began. "It's just..."
Inuyasha was cut off by a squeaky voice. "Of coarse he means it like that Higurashi or should I say geek." It was Kikyou. Dawn was beside her looking him the opposite direction. Kagome glared at her rival.
"What do you know?" she asked. "I don't remember inviting you to this conversation."
"Get lost Kikyou! My day was going so great without seeing you so far!" Inuyasha snarled. Kikyou took on step forward and looked at the two. She huffed and was about to reply with a witty comment when Mr. Louse called the students together.
"Okay everyone same thing as the last time. You get into your teams and fight. Same groupings. So got and get changed!"
Sango suddenly popped out of nowhere and grabbed Kagome's hand. Kagome just glared and Inuyasha. The hanyou gulped knowing that it meant war.
