AN: AHH SORRY! Xx I'm horrible at updating aren't I. :: sighs :: Well at least I'm back now. Hopefully I'll update more often now that I have more time. . . though I doubt it considering all the times I said I would before. One of my reviewers got the person on the dot but I won't say who. Oh and Mafia Puppet I've decided to put your idea in place for this chapter. It won't be as dramatic as I want it to be but it'll still be a little bit funny. Anyways time to go on with the story.
Completely Pure
Chapter 9: Introduction to the Devil's Joker
It's been two weeks since I've been here and I've learned a lot. The teachers decided to change my Gym class to a spare so I could do some independent learning but most of the time I sat and watched the classes instead. Even though gym wasn't my strong subject I felt a little left out. Sango always filled me in on what I missed but I still felt lonely at times.
Sometimes I saw Ayumi, Eri, Yuka, and Kikyo. They all were nice to me. I still don't understand why Inuyasha hates Kikyo so much. Maybe it's just personality conflicts.
Inuyasha. . . I can't seem to look him in the eye now, ever since I kissed him. I can tell you one thing though, I've been extremely happy when he's around. I think everyone believes that it's because I'm free that I'm happy but I'm positive it's him. I want to learn more about him. He's kind to me but hates Kikyo. Kikyo and I look the same except I'm. . .I guess a little inferior to her intelligence. I really don't see much of a difference so why the hatred? I try not to be seen by Inuyasha when I speak with her. I don't want to make him mad.
"Kagome! What a lovely surprise!"
"Good second period Miroku"
"Why are you over here instead of with your class?"
"Independent Studies"
"Ahh I see," his eyes seemed to twinkle "Well if you don't mind could you help me out a bit?"
I got off the bench I was sitting on. "Sure what do you need?" I said smiling.
"I need your help doing sit-ups. Just lean on my feet to make sure I'm not gonna move and lean forward a bit."
"Ok" I shrugged. It sounded easy enough.
Track is one of the easiest things to do in gym. I never broke a sweat and could be the first one done. I was taking a break to sit with Kagome to help her a bit in whatever she was doing. The teacher said I could because I was an excellent student. Yeah. . . right. Anyways I grabbed my water bottle and made my way to the bench that Kagome usually sat on with my towel around my shoulders. She wasn't there when I got there so I was pretty confused. I looked around until I spotted her. . .With Miroku. I could tell by one look what was going on. Actually by just looking at his face every time he sat up gave it away. I cursed under my breath and jogged over to give him a piece of my mind but alas, someone else beat me to the punch. Literally.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" Inuyasha yelled as he punched Miroku in the head making him fall sideways. I was confused. I was helping him to sit-ups wasn't I?
"KAGOME!" I turned to see Sango running towards me. I looked at her confused. Inuyasha was seething.
"Did that lecher do anything to you other than look down your shirt?" Inuyasha asked me.
I blushed and realized what happened. Let's just say that Inuyasha and Sango were rubbing off on me because in less than a second I was over and stomping on Miroku's groin. "YOU HENTAI! I THOUGHT YOU NEEDED HELP BUT YOU USED ME FOR YOUR PERVERTED IDEAS"
Sango came up behind me and pulled me away. I could hear Inuyasha laughing and Miroku's moans of pain. He deserved it though.
"Kagome I think that's enough. If you do anymore damage to you he'll never be able to have kids."
I sighed and relaxed " Fine."
In an instant almost Miroku was beside Sango. "I didn't know u cared so much!" he said while stroking her behind. Again he was sprawled on the ground. "On second thought," Sango said breathing heavily, "Let's kill him!"
Now I had to hold Sango back as Miroku ran across the yard. This was going to be a long day.
Lunch was an escape from classes at least that's what I considered it. Sango and Miroku were arguing while Inuyasha and I watched.
"PLEASE CAN I HAVE YOUR CUPCAKE!"
"NO!"
"WHY NOT?"
"CAUSE I KNOW WHAT CUPCAKE YOUR REFERING TO!"
Seriously I didn't know what they were talking about. Sango was already half finished eating her cupcake anyways.
"Do they ever stop?" I whispered to Inuyasha. Every day they had argued since I met them.
He sighed. "Nope."
I sighed. "Great. Thank goodness they don't share classes." I blushed as I suddenly remembered the kiss over a week ago. It was silent for a moment.
"Kagome? Are you ok? You're all red!" Sango asked quickly pushing Miroku off his chair and scooting over to me.
"N-nothing! Nothing at all!" I quickly glanced at Inuyasha to see if he was looking at me. I hoped no one would notice but I was wrong.
Miroku suddenly took my hands into his. "Milady, What ever could you have just looked at just now?"
"Um the door?"
He grinned. "Oh but the door is on the other side of the cafeteria!"
I blushed more. "So I looked the wrong way!"
"Ahh but I'm sure your eyes did land on something say a certain person on the other side of you?"
I wacked him upside the head while blushing like crazy. "God Miroku! What ARE you trying to get at!" I said trying to act as if he was just trying something perverted again.
He smiled and stood up "YOUR BLUSHING!"
"NO I'M NOT!"
"Yes you are."
Suddenly I felt a hand on my forehead. "Well you don't seem to have a fever. . ." I heard Inuyasha say. My blush deepened. "Oh wait you seem a little warm now!"
Sango, finally understanding what the monk was trying to hint at started giggling while Miroku laughed his head off. I continued to blush while I could only guess that Inuyasha had a confused look on his face. When would this day end!
Though. . . had I actually turned to my head the other way I would've seen a pair of brown eyes staring carefully at me.
I thanked god that Miroku and Sango couldn't walk home with us today. I couldn't stand their teasing whenever Inuyasha wasn't around. It was getting on my nerves. I didn't know why I blushed every time I thought of the kiss. It just seemed to set my nerves on fire. It wasn't a bad type of feeling either. It made me long to do it again. I shook my head. I shouldn't have these thoughts in my head. It wasn't right. It wasn't proper. . . but I still couldn't get them out.
"You ok Kagome?"
"Yeah. Just a little distracted." I said not daring to look at Inuyasha in case he could tell what I was thinking though I highly doubted it. He didn't seem the type to be psychic.
He snorted. "Keh. I could tell." He stopped walking for a moment. "Kagome what was wrong with you earlier. You did burn up pretty fast."
I tried to keep my new coming blush down and tilted my head downwards so that my hair concealed my face. "Nothing at all."
Suddenly I felt something grip my hand. "Tell me sometime ok? I'm worried about you." He said sincerely.
I tightened my hold and leaned against him as we walked. "I will. . .someday."
I continued to snap pictures with my digital camera.
"Your lucky you took the flash off that thing."
"I know" I smirked. "It's not like you'd have enough money to get one anyways."
"Hey! I'm hurt."
"Sure you are." I rolled my eyes.
"No really I am!"
"Miroku," I sighed, "you're always hurt."
"That's mean my dear Sango."
"Since when was I yours?" I snorted.
"Since you decided to take pictures with me!"
"Right and that has anything to do with me being yours?"
"Absolutely!"
I growled as I felt a familiar hand caress my back. "Once they are out of sight you are soooooo dead."
"Meep."
Though I was happy through the day, night always brought back memories. My memories of the past and all the things I missed out on. I no longer blamed Rei. Well I never blamed her in the first place. I really didn't have anyone to blame. I would've just been an orphan anyways if I hadn't been taken in. Would my life have been different? Would I still have met Sango, Miroku, Kouga, Ayame, Rin, Shippo, Sesshoumaru and mostly. . .Inuyasha? If I had, I hope I would've.
A tingle ran down my back as I gathered my towel and shampoo before heading to the washroom. What if this is all a dream? I thought as I stepped into the shower. I let the warm water rinse over me as I continued to think. What if this is just my imagination playing tricks on me. Hoping for something new, different, not so plain.
I scrubbed my hair and sighed. This was too good to be true but maybe just maybe. . .
There was a knock on the door.
"What?"
I recognized Inuyasha's voice. "Dinner's ready! Hurry up or it'll go cold!"
"OK!" I rinsed off and changed into a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. Giving my head a quick rub I saw a flash in the mirror. Looking back, outside the window I couldn't see anything. Unsure, I peeked out a bit more but all I saw was the darkness of the night. Maybe it was my eyes playing tricks on me. . . My imagination. . . but than again. What if it wasn't?
A phone rang as a man grudgingly picked it up and said a brisk hello.
"Dr. Naraku? I think I've found your subject but as always there is a price."
"Really now. Who says I still need her?"
"I do. You know very well that she was the only one so far that's survived your testing. I suggest you take my offer because it won't last long. She adapts very quickly for what I've seen."
He sighed. "What do you want and how do I know you speak the truth."
"You should know very well what I want by know. I've wanted it all my life but you refused to give it to me. Give it to me and I'll bring her in. I've taken some photos which are now in the process of being faxed to you at this moment. Why not take a look at them and see for yourself if I'm lying."
He glanced as his fax machine started a pictures began to form of a Kagome in different areas.
There was a pause until the photos finished before he responded. "Deal."
I walked down the newly built halls listening to the click of my shoes against the tiles of the floor. I sighed as I rounded the corner. 'Stupid' I thought 'I am so stupid. I should've picked to die!'
"We're here"
I looked up at Kagura who had been leading me all the way. "Tell me one thing before I go in. Why is the security less than it was before?"
She smiled. "That group of people probably think they've won. They think we no longer exist. Beside, Dr. Naruku had also taking the liberty of funding another research centre, of course based for different purposes."
"And what may these purposes be?"
"You'll find out soon. Now go in. You actually get to be with the child this time, don't waste your chances."
I nodded as I walked through the doors leading me to a room. White, like before. Near a wall I saw a small child. Older than Kagome when she was first taken in but yet younger than what she was now. His head hung low as I slowly walked towards him. I stopped a few feet before him.
"Hello. I'm going to be your new mother. My name is Rei, what is yours?"
I regretted the moment I spoke those last three words for his head slowly rose up and all I could see were a pair of expressionless eyes that I knew would haunt my dreams for days to come.
