Notes: PetsMart. I once went to a pet store and saw a puffy faced gold fish. It was so cute. Kalliel, ditto. I'd so be –terrified- if I got a detention. I'm a good student, overall. The worst I got was a warning of when I was throwing things at my friends down the stairs. –eek- Ideas came from…daydreaming. I tend to daydream about -death or killings-. No other people are in there, I just fend for myself. Then in this story, I added a dude: Inuyasha. And then, sometimes I get ideas from movies. Oh! Speaking of detention, I should go watch The Breakfast Club. Mila2504, I know, I agree. It's so evil. But you know, I can't have Inuyasha rescue her at everything.
Chapter Ten: Detention
Kagome suffers the tales of detention. What she doesn't know is that the teacher tends to fall asleep. However, the escape is stalled when some demons decide against leaving.
'I can't believe that jerk!' Kagome thought angrily. It was Saturday morning, and Kagome was following the security guard to the detention room. She bit her lip so hard she felt as if it would bleed. She just couldn't believe Inuyasha had ditched her like that. And what he had said to her. "I know you like me…" That's not a reason to kiss someone! Kagome just wanted to run, but with the glances the security guard gave her every few seconds, she knew it wasn't possible.
'Argh…I never get detentions! What did I do to deserve this?" Kagome thought angrily. It was Saturday, and she was at school, following a security guard. Yesterday she had explained to her family why she was really outside, but her mother told her to go to detention anyway. The security guard in front of her suddenly stopped, and Kagome barely stopped herself from crashing into her.
"We are here. Step inside this room." The security guard said coldly. Kagome stepped in slowly. She didn't know what kind of people went to detention, nor what to do at detention. The security guard closed the door and locked it.
"Kagome!" A familiar voice called out. It was Miroku. He was smiling as always, and his purple eyes glint in the light. With relief, Kagome sits in the desk next to him and puts her head down.
"This is awful." Kagome said calmly. But all she wanted to do was run away and cry. She couldn't bear the dirty looks her "friends" would give her, or what her parents would do afterwards. Of course, that was why she was a loner. But detention?
"Aw, it's not too bad." Miroku said. He crept up to her ear and whispered, "The teacher tends to fall asleep. We'll be out of here in no time!" Kagome sat up and looked at him, then around the whole room. Juroumaru, a demon she knew, smirked at her suggestively. She rolled her eyes.
'Just great.' She thought, and she covered her face to avoid other looks of other demons and people in the room. She knew some of them; they would bully her or flirt with her. Everyone reminded her of bad memories she had as a child. Miroku must have noticed all the suggestive looks everyone gave her, so he gave them all dirty looks.
"Where's Inuyasha?" Miroku asked. The sound of the name made Kagome shrivel up in anger.
"He ditched me." She replied coldly.
"Are you serious?" Miroku asked. Kagome glared at him. An old man suddenly cleared his throat.
"Detention begins. I will call your name. You answer "here". You will watch a video on the creation of the tectonic plates." The man says in a low monotone voice. "Miroku…" He started out.
"Here with pride!" Miroku said.
"Sexual harassment again, Miroku?" The teacher asked coldly. He crosses his arms in frustration.
"I wish." Miroku replied. The teacher rolled his eyes, shaking his head, and continued with the name role call. Last, he came across Kagome's name.
"Kagome…Higurashi." He said, and he narrowed his eyes at Kagome. Kagome felt many eyes look upon her.
"He…here." She murmured. She put her head down on her desk and tried to fall asleep. But thoughts of Inuyasha overruled all other thoughts in her mind.
'How could he do that to me? What a jerk!' She thought. She felt her face steaming up, and closed her eyes to keep out the tears. Even so, a warm tear dropped onto the desk, but she ignored it. Soon she heard the monotone voices of the video come on, and the lights dimmed. Ten minutes later, the class was silent, but only because they didn't want to wake up the teacher.
"You asleep?" Miroku asked. Kagome sat up and wiped her desk. She nodded. "The teacher is asleep. We can steal his key and get out of here." He whispered. He stood up and Kagome soon did so also. Juroumaru crept up to the teacher's desk and opened the drawer silently. But instead of taking the key, he closed it and raised his eyes to Kagome.
"You know…guys…Kagome is the only girl in here." He said suggestively. The others in the room smirked with him. Juroumaru's brother, Taigokumaru, raises a globe that was located in the room over the teacher's head.
"What are you doing?" Kagome shouted, but it was too late. Taigokumaru striked the teacher's head with the globe and knocked him out. Then Juroumaru walked towards Kagome. Miroku stood in front of her.
"Leave her alone, scum." He said.
"I thought you would be thrilled, after all, you being the most perverted here." Juroumaru replied. Miroku glared at him.
"I'm civil." He replied. Juroumaru's smile faded.
"Move." Juroumaru ordered. Miroku did not. "Move out of my way!" He shouted, and slugged his fist at Miroku's face. Miroku was pushed back, but he regained his place, wiping his bloodied lip. Juroumaru then took a nearby book, slamming it against Miroku's head. Miroku turned back, falling to the ground. Kagome watched him fall, then rose her eyes to Juroumaru.
"Leave me alone." She said, as calm as she could. She looked Juroumaru straight in the eye. She didn't want him to see her fear. Juroumaru smirked.
"Come on. It's okay." Juroumaru replied. Kagome looked towards her feet, unable to think straight. She felt Juroumaru eye her and come closer.
"Get away from me!" She shouted, and slapped Juroumaru right across the face. Juroumaru stood back, a little startled, but his look of astonishment soon turned to anger. He raised his hand and slapped her across her face. Kagome felt her face heat with the face print.
"How dare you?" She shouted, and she balled her hands into fists and started punching Juroumaru as hard as she could in the face. Juroumaru regained his post and grabbed her wrists.
"Don't do that, bitch!" He shouted, and smacked her again. This time she was slapped back, and she fell to her knees. Some of the demons behind Juroumaru snickered. Juroumaru advanced closer, and grabbed her chin. Blood from his lips splattered on her face. Shedding tears, she screamed.
"Don't touch her, fucker." A voice suddenly said. Everyone looked towards the sound. The door was open, and Inuyasha was standing in the doorway. The security guard behind him pushed him out of the way.
"What is going on here?" She shouted. Kagome felt immediate relief. Still shaky, she pushed Juroumaru out of the way and ran out of the room. She ran to the nearest open door and closed it. There, she pulled her knees to her chest and held them. She was so afraid. She couldn't hold it back. Her childhood was awful, and this whole incident triggered a nervous breakdown. Trembling, she let the tears roll down, but she didn't make a sound. She was too afraid, and she didn't want to see anyone.
'Why do these things always happen to me?' Kagome thought, and she wiped her tears with her sleeve. She couldn't be like this anymore. She has to be strong, and fend for herself. She hated being treated this way.
The door opened. "Kagome?" A voice said calmly. Kagome looked up, but when she saw who it was, Inuyasha, she turned her head.
"What do you want?" Kagome said coldly.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha said, and sat down in front of her. "…I'm sorry."
"You ditched me." Kagome replied coldly. She couldn't forgive him. She just couldn't.
"I came for you." He replied. Kagome looked back at him.
"But you're going to be suspended!" She said, surprised that he risked it.
"Nah, dummy. Today's Saturday, remember? I can't get suspended for coming to school on a Saturday." Inuyasha replied, and laughed at her.
Kagome looked away. She felt stupid. Her last statement made her an idiot, and she regretted even asking. Now Inuyasha knew that Kagome cared about him, and she hated it the fact.
"Look…" Inuyasha started to say, and he looked away. Kagome looked back at him.
"Don't bother to apologize." Kagome said coldly. Inuyasha looked back at her with an irritated look on his face.
"I wasn't going to!" He shouted, and walked out of the closet, slamming the door behind her. Kagome put her head down on her knees.
'Why do I always screw up like this…?' She thought, and let the tears stream down her face.
