Author's Note: Well here's chapter 2. If anyone has notice I've taken out the other chapters so it wouldn't look weird with these being finished and the others not. So… I've changed some things around so that everyone knows.

Dark Shadow

Chapter 2- "Strange Behaviors"

In the crowded school of Shikon High, everyone was rushing towards their lockers, classes, and friends before the late bell rang for class. Girls went to the bathrooms to fix their hair and/or make-up, sharing juicy gossip they had gotten over the weekend or that morning. Guys went to their lockers, getting their books and other things they might need for later on in the day. The students who were into school were already in class, ready to go. Punks and Goths were slowly and gradually entering class along with the Preps and Jocks.

Miroku, Kagome, and Sango were in already in their first period, in the back with their friends. Kagome talked to a girl with dark brown hair that reached up to her hips, and big chocolate eyes. She was wearing a pink tank top with a fairy on it and a long sleeve fishnet shirt underneath; a short black and pink checker skirt and pink and black high top converse. Her name was Rin Yaida (16 years old).

There was a girl and a guy next to Rin, talking to one another and holding each other's hands. The girl had red hair in two ponytails with black flower clips, and green eyes. She was dressed in a black hoodie, a black and white plaid skirt, along with high stockings that went up to her thighs and black Vans. Her name was Ayame Wakatsuki and the young man next to her was her boyfriend, Kouga Takashi. The tan skinned boy had aqua blue eyes and long black hair that he had in a high ponytail, along with a black headband. He wore a black shirt with white lettering that said "You had me at Hell No.", black Dickies shorts and completely black high top converse.

Miroku was still rubbing his cheek, even after the whole ordeal. "Ow."

"I can't believe that you did it again, " Kouga said shaking his head. "You're a disgrace to mankind, man."

"You know she likes it," Miroku started rubbing Sango's ass again, making the girl's face turn red with either anger or embarrassment. Any way was fine because she hit Miroku on the same spot she hit last time.

"Owww!" Miroku was on the floor rubbing his cheek even more so. Then he smirked. "You must like rough."

BONK!

"OWWW!" Miroku was now rubbing his cheek AND his head.

"That's what you get for your wandering hands," Ayame said while Rin giggled in agreement and Kagome nodded her head.

Miroku gave her a look, but then was distracted by something else as he looked over to another place besides where they were. Kagome followed his glaze, intrigued in what could have gotten his attention (which was hard for someone since he only focused on Sango's and others bottoms) and her eyes widen with disbelief. Miroku wasn't looking somewhere else, he was grinning at someone. That person shook his head in disgrace and grinned back at Miroku. The person noticed her looking and turned away. He scratched his bandana and started drawing circles on his arm, doing it out of an old habit that she had noticed he had taken upon since she saw him their beginning year at school. Kagome looked back at Miroku and noticed that the boy wasn't grinning anymore; instead he had a serious face filled with worry.

'Something is going between Inuyasha and Miroku...I wonder what it is?'

Inuyasha was looking at the little group that Miroku and Kagome were hanging out with. He smirked when he saw that Miroku had gotten slap yet once again by that Sango chick. 'Stupid lecher,' he thought at his friend's behavior. Yes, they were friends. Had been since they were toddlers along with someone else that he forgets about because of the painful memories that came with it. He chuckled remembering how one day when they were hanging out together during the weekends past that Miroku said that he liked getting hit by Sango. Miroku just loved being roughen up by his girl.

When he noticed that said person was looking him, he started to grin at the perverted man; knowing he knew the true reason of why he grabbed Sango's butt. Shaking his head, his eyes fell over the person who was right behind Miroku and turned away. It was Kagome Higurashi, his rival and enemy and she was staring at him with disbelief at what she was witnessing. Getting nervous, Inuyasha scratched his covered ears. Yes, Inuyasha had ears on the top of head, covered by the bandanas that he always wears. Inuyasha was not a ordinary person. Actually, he was a demon, or at least part. He was technically a hanyou, half human and half demon. But he never did liked telling anyone of this secret, besides Miroku who already knew since a few days after they met when they were little. Still not daring to glance back, he started pulling on the rubber band that was on his arm and snapping it back to his wrist. Enjoying the slight sting it gave him. 'Gotta hold on...It's been week, you can continue this record...'

"Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha was jerked out of the slight trance he was under, when he heard the sound of his name being yelled. "Huh?"

"Did you not just hear me, babe?" Kikyou asked.

"Um. Sorry, sweetie,"

Oh, how Inuyasha hated calling his girlfriend pet names that sounded pathetic. Especially in public.

"We're going to a club tonight, you coming with?" asked a girl with short black hair that was put up in a messy bun with her bangs in the front and unique red eyes. She was wearing a red Chinese shirt, a black skirt that also reached mid-thigh like Kikyou's and black slippers. The girl had green beaded dangling earrings hanging from her ears and light red eye shadow to match her shirt. A fan that opens up easily was in her hand, tapping the side of her face. Her name was Kagura Wakashi (17 years old).

Pondering for a moment on whether or not he should go, Inuyasha looked at his arm thoughtfully. 'Maybe just tonight...' Inuyasha mentally sighed. 'It'll put off my record though.'

"No, I don't feel much up to dancing today. Maybe some other time?" Inuyasha looked at everyone in the group faces, only to find that Kikyou seem to be unhappy at his pronouncement.

"But-"

"No buts, Kikyou," Inuyasha said sternly, looking at her straight in the eye. "I've already made my decision. I just don't feel up to it tonight. Don't worry," Inuyasha said on a lighter and softer tone. "I'll make it up to you."

Noticing that class was about to begin. Kikyou nodded, smiled seductively, and went to her seat that was on the other side of the room, but still able to see him. Inuyasha watched her go, and then when no one was looking, he pulled out a pair of scissors. Carefully (since they were sharp), he open the blades and touched the cutting edge and tip with his finger. Not even a second after he had done that, the teacher had came and took the object out of his hands. Inuyasha looked up in shocked.

"I'll be taking these, since they seem to be taking up much more of your time than necessarily, " with that, the teacher walked up to his desk, dropped the scissors in his drawer, never to be seen again, and continued on his lesson.

"Ooh, goody-goody just got in trouble, " some people smirked and laugh silently at the snide remark that Kagome had said.

Inuyasha just ignored her and everyone else, as he glared at the teacher. He knew for a fact that if it were some other student that had been playing with those scissors, they wouldn't have them taken away from them so urgently. Well, that had to be consider that most kids didn't have all their teachers plus the principal and counselor, knowing some dreadful secret about yourself and wanting to keep you and the other students safe from any harm.

"What's your mother gonna think of you when she finds out that you are behaving bad, Inuyasha?" Sango snickered. Inuyasha felt the rage build up inside him as he tried to ignore what Kagome and Sango were saying. Nobody messed with his mother, but instead of lashing out, like he normally would and get himself in more trouble, he kept quiet. Pulling the rubber band so far and tight, to make sure it hurt when it hit its mark. Inuyasha let go.

Inuyasha didn't notice, nor did anyone else, the worry look that Miroku gave him, as he stared at the big, red, welt on his wrist that had been left from the rubber band's attack on his skin there. Enjoying the pain as it lasted.

During lunchtime, everyone went to their designated tables that they had been sitting in since the beginning of term started. A few were fighting over who seat belonged to who and others hurriedly went to the pizza line, trying to get there first before anyone, so they can have a sliced of pizza before they sold out, as they always did at the end of the day.

Inuyasha was sitting with the regular people he sat with everyday: Kikyou, Kagura, and two others. A boy and a girl named Naraku (19 years old) and Kanna (18 years old) Wakashi. Kanna was Kagura's elder sister, even though she was smaller and they barely looked alike and Naraku was their cousin on their father's side. Kanna had white platinum hair, much lighter than Inuyasha's and dark black eyes. She was wearing a white kimono, showing off her heritage of being Japanese and white sandals. Naraku resemble more of Kagura with his long black wavy hair that reached past his waist and those remarkable red eyes. He wore a dark purple dress shirt and black slacks along with some black shoes.

They sat not too far, (nor too near), to where Kagome was sitting with her friends and Kikyou decided to show her disgust at that moment, as she watched the group eat their food.

"Ugh! They can't even eat properly!" Kikyou said horrified. "They're making me sick to my stomach!" she pushed her tray far away from her.

"The pervert, Miroku, grabbed my ass today in the hall," Kagura said, ignoring the chuckled she heard from her side, that was from Naraku, at her annoyance. "I think he might like me!"

"Well, Miroku doesn't really mean it," Inuyasha between bites of his Ramen noodles that he had heated up from the cafeteria's microwave in the kitchen. He looked up when he felt that all eyes were on him. "What?" Now thinking back to what he said, he knew "what", but he asked the question anyways.

"How do you know that?" Kagura asked with a raised eyebrow. She placed the tip of her fan on her chin.

Inuyasha gulped. "Um...Me and him were in the same 2nd grade class together... and so was... Ka…Kagome..."

"Oh! My poor baby!" Kikyou scooted closer to him and started rubbing his back. "You had to suffer since you were little with those damn punks!"

Feeling awkward at revealing that bit of information, Inuyasha made up an excuse in his mind to get out of there. "Um, I gotta use the bathroom," He got up and left while Kikyou watched him go.

"He must be sick," Kanna whispered. "He hasn't been himself lately."

On the other side of the cafeteria, Miroku watched Inuyasha leave his table in a rush to the bathroom, which was not typical for the young man. Something was up. He kept following Inuyasha with his eyes, until he couldn't anymore because Kagome had gotten in his way. She had a bowl of pudding in her hand along with a smirk on her face and was headed straight for Inuyasha.

"What is she doing?" he asked.

"What? You weren't paying attention?" Kouga said in disbelief.

"Kagome gonna spill some pudding on Inuyasha!" Rin squealed in delight. Miroku ignored her usual outburst and watched with everyone else, how Kagome accidentally spilled the pudding on Inuyasha's jeans and the lower part of his white shirt.

"Oh! I'm so sorry," Kagome said as she feigns politeness.

"Yeah. Whatever. Mhm," Inuyasha said as he continued his earlier path to the bathroom. Now with a actual reason.

Kagome stood there in shock. Inuyasha never let down a challenge and Kagome was sure enough presenting one with her little pudding plan. Something must've been up. She didn't noticed until she sat back down in her seat that Miroku wasn't there with them.

"Where's Miroku?"

"He went to the bathroom," Ayame answered.

"Oh," Something is definitely up, she thought as she looked at the door to the boy's bathroom.

Well there's the second chapter! I've changed some of the wording and rewrote some scenes.
