Chapter Twelve

Tests and Secrets

Kagome reached for the mask to reveal…

"InuYasha!" she screamed, and her voice echoed through the halls. InuYasha was lying there, in front of her, dressed in black with a letter in his hand.

"H-Hey Kag!" he smiled nervously. "W-What are you doin' in the halls at this time of night?"

"I forgot something in my locker…! Look, why does it matter, what were you doing in the halls at this time of night?" Kagome crossed her arms confidently and towered over InuYasha. He gulped.

"I-I was…I forgot something too!"

"Nice try, but one, why were you in front of my locker, two, yours is that way, and three…why do you have a letter in your hand!"

"It's---"

"Lemme see it!" Kagome snatched the sealed letter away from InuYasha and he gasped. She ripped it open but it was too dark to read anything. "Damn, where's a light switch!" Kagome grumbled.

"Give me that back!" InuYasha shouted, reaching hastily for the letter.

"Not until I read it!"

"Too bad! It's mine!"

"Then why were you slipping it into my locker"

Silence.

"Uh…because…Look, how would you know what I was doing! It's too damn dark to see anything!"

"I could tell thank you very much!"

Kagome sprinted down the hall, completely forgetting why she'd come in the first place, and found herself outside. Light from a nearby lamp poured over her and she grinned. But as she looked down at the letter in her hands someone grabbed her and caused her to fall to the cement. She screamed as she hit the hard ground.

"InuYasha, get off of me!" she yelled, for InuYasha was lying on top of her reaching for the letter.

"Not until I get that letter!" he snapped back.

"What's so important about it?"

"Nothing, I just need it!"

"Well you can't have it!"

They struggled for several seconds until someone came upon them.

"You slut!" came a loud shriek. Kagome looked up to see Kikyo with a face as red as an apple. Hojo was standing beside her looking very embarrassed and confused. "InuYasha, get off of her!"

InuYasha immediately jumped off of Kagome.

"What the hell did you two think you were doing?" Kikyo screamed. Kagome and InuYasha winced at the same time as Kagome stood up and brushed off her jeans. InuYasha made a swipe for the letter but Kikyo got to it first. "And what's this!"

"NOOOOOOOO!" Kagome and InuYasha both shouted. But Kikyo was already skimming it. Her mouth fell open and her teeth clenched.

"INUYASHA, DID YOU WRITE THIS!" she yelled loudly.

"Y-Yes," he mumbled, and he felt like he was shrinking as he said it.

"Have you read this yet!" she barked at Kagome.

"I was trying to!" Kagome snapped back.

"Well here!" Kikyo thrust the letter at her, grabbed Hojo's hand, and led him back towards the dorms.

Kagome was shocked but she cleared her throat and started to read:

Kagome,

It is Valentines Day and I said I would tell

But I'm afraid I can not

For you would be too surprised

And might reject me

And I couldn't deal with that!

So it will forever remain a secret,

Who your admirer is.

"Oh, InuYasha," Kagome said, shaking her head. "I wouldn't reject you. Were you really serious? Do you want to be my secret admirer and Valentine?"

InuYasha looked like he was rooted to his spot, but he was turning red. "Of course not! This was all a joke! A joke! And was it funny or what! Haha!" His voice was shaking.

Kagome was starring at him with eyes as wide as saucers. "Wha…What?" she asked, tears beginning to well up in her eyes. "InuYasha…that was so cruel…I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! YOU INCONSIDERATE BASTARD! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN IN MY LIFE! AND HERE! TAKE YOUR STUPID LETTER!"

Kagome tore up the fake love letter and threw all the tiny scraps at InuYasha. Then she ran off crying towards her dorm room.


Kagome figured she must have cried herself to sleep because before she knew it, it was dawn. She sat up and felt her cheeks. They were hot and wet from warm tears. She yawned and stretched and stood. Her friends were all sound asleep. But as she crept over to the bathroom Ayame awoke.

"Kagome?" she asked droopily. "That you?"

"Yes," Kagome answered. "It's early. Go back to sleep. We've got te---"

Suddenly she stopped. Walking and talking. Tests. She hadn't studied!

"OH NO!" Kagome screamed and ran out the door in her robe and pajamas. This had woken up everyone in the building and as Kagome came to the school she remembered it was locked.

"No, no, NO!" she cried. "Stupid InuYasha! This is ALL his fault! I hate him! I hate him!" She slumped and walked slowly back to her room.

"Kagome, what is it!" Sango asked in a frightened tone, starring at Kagome. She was standing and her hair was tangled and bushy.

"I never studied for the test last night. Oh, and I found out who my admirer is."

"What?" the three other girls' exclaimed in unison. "Why aren't you happy about this! Tell! Tell!"

"Happy? I'm as miserable as ever. My admirer is InuYasha. It was a joke though. Haha, very funny."

Her friends starred. The were all crowded around her and broke out into low whispers. Kagome sighed and went to shower. This was going to be a long and boring day…of tests.


The first test was going to be in Math. All the girls had it together and so they chose seats by the window. Sango removed her calculator, ruler, and pencil from her bag and set them all on the table. The other three got out the same materials and then looked around at the classroom.

None of the guys had the same classes as they did. On test days, schedules were all mixed up. Right then, the guys were in a different Math class.

"So…" Kagome said casually.

"So…" Sango repeated. They had nothing at all to talk about. No one had brought up the subject of what InuYasha had done. It hurt Kagome too much.

"Class quiet down," the teacher was saying. "Thank you. This is the Math portion of the test and I hope you all studied well. It won't be easy." Some people groaned. "Now, now. I know that those of you who were responsible and studied will do well. Now, pencils at the ready. Turn your tests over and begin."

Kagome hurriedly turned over her exam paper and started reading the first question. It was so confusing she couldn't think. She went on and soon had almost filled in all the little bubbles before time ran out. You had an hour to complete each section of the test and right now it was almost 9:00.

"And…stop!" the teacher's voice boomed. Everyone sighed and the ruffling of papers filled the room. Sango closed her test and laid her head on the desk.

"That nearly killed me!" she moaned. "I can't go through Science, and Writing, and Reading, and History…"

"I thought it wasn't too bad," Rin said cheerfully. "Math has always been my strong point."

"Lucky you," Ayame grumbled.

They gathered their things and walked to their next class. They passed the guys in the hall and waved. When they reached the classroom they would be taking the Reading test in they set down their belongings at the table nearest the back of the room.

The teacher walked in accompanied by Kikyo and Hojo. Kikyo walked stiffly to the table farthest from Kagome's and sat with her back facing them.

"What a bitch," Rin murmured under her breath. The others agreed as the tests were passed out. They wrote their name at the top, the date, and the period.

"Alright class," the teacher smiled. "You may begin."

Reading was Kagome's second best subject. Actually, it was a tie with Reading and Writing. It was Science and Math that always brought her grade down…

Sally was walking along the sidewalk and found a wallet. She picked it up and found no ID. So she took it to the police station and put it in the lost and found. When no one reclaimed it, she got to keep it. What is the main idea of this story? Kagome read. She thought. Then she wrote out her answer on the lines.

Finally an hour was up and the five minute bell rang. Sango was startled and let out a small scream. Ayame snickered and closed her test booklet. Rin did the same and Kagome was smiling as she closed hers.

"You're lucky Reading is so easy for you," Sango said. "It's my worst subject. I know I'll fail. The only thing I'm good at is History."

"And that surprises me!" Kagome laughed. She handed her test to the teacher and walked out into the crowded hallway. Her friends close behind her, she made her way to the Science classroom. When she opened her test, she found it was even more difficult then she'd thought.

What is the 27th element? Kagome read. How the hell should I know! I only know the first element! I hate Science! She was so frustrated she thought she even missed the easiest question: Name the five senses.

Sango nudged her and pointed at the clock. Six minutes left. Kagome panicked and looked up at the teacher. He had a stern look on his face and was checking his watch. Kagome gulped and went back to working. When she left class she was feeling like a failure.

"Science is the stupidest thing EVER!" she screamed. "And now I have to deal with History! Life isn't fair!"

"I like History!" Sango said. "It's interesting."

The teacher smiled warmly at them when they arrived but Kagome didn't smile back. That was unlike her.

"Does everyone have a test?" the teacher asked and seeing everyone nod she continued. "Open your tests and please begin. As you probably know by now you have exactly one hour."

Kagome flipped through all the pages and groaned softly. Who was the thirteenth president? Who was Muhammad? What is the rebirth? Kagome couldn't remember studied any of these things. She sighed and tapped her pencil on the desk. She slumped and started filling in her best guesses.

The test ended and the last to take was the Writing one.

"Finally! My best subject!" Kagome said happily. She sat in a desk nearest the door and her friends joined her. The tests were handed out and she looked hers over. She smiled. It looked easy! She was finished with ten minutes to spare. Ayame glanced at her in shock and astonishment. And envy.


Kagome and Rin trudged slowly up the stairs to their dorm. It seemed like ages till they finally reached it. Rin sleepily unlocked the door and shoved it open. She collapsed on her bed and almost fell asleep. Kagome shook her.

"Rin…don't fall asleep…we have to meet the guys and Sango and Ayame for dinner…Rin? Oh, wake up!" Kagome gave up when she heard her friend start to snore and went to shower. The warm water woke her up and she sighed peacefully.

She changed and decided the elevator was better to take this time. It reached the first floor and she stepped out. She walked through the chilly night air and into the cafeteria. She saw Kikyo and her group of friends but not hers. No one was there. She yawned and frowned. Had they all fallen asleep too? She shrugged, grabbed a tray, and picked out some chicken for dinner.

She chose a seat at a half empty table. The only other ones at it were some people she'd never met. As she chewed, she felt someone poke her in the shoulder. She turned to see Naraku grinning evilly at her and he sat.

"What's up Kag?" he asked coldly, still smirking.

"Nothing now go away!" Kagome replied angrily.

"Aw, come on? Be a little more polite! What have I ever done to you?"

"Do I have to go down the entire list?"

"Ok, ok! So I've done some things to you but that's all in the past. Why don't we step outside to talk?"

"No."

"Just for a second."

"Go away Naraku."

"Come on you bitch or I'll---"

"Shut up! Why are you talking to me? We hate each other! I hate you, you hate me! Just leave me ALONE!"

"Not till we talk!"

"FINE! One minute and that's all!" Kagome threw down her chicken leg and wiped her hands off on her napkin. Naraku smirked and led her out to the back of the building. Kagome hugged her shoulders as she shivered.

"What is it Na---"

Suddenly, Naraku whirled around and thrust her against the wall. Kagome gasped in shock and was about to scream but he forced his lips on hers. It was disgusting and Kagome would have gagged. But she was helpless because he had pinned her against the brick wall. He was sticking his hand up her shirt and Kagome was kicked but it was no use.

I'm about to be raped! She screamed in her head. Someone…help me…!

Just then, Naraku was kicked hard in the ribs and he fell to the side and cursed. Kagome slumped down the wall and looked up at her savior. She caught a glimpse of long black hair and shining dark eyes before everything went black.


"Is she alright?"

"What happened?"

"When will she wake up?"

These voices were familiar but still distant. Kagome tried to hold her throbbing head but she couldn't move. She slowly blinked her eyes open and saw the worried faces of all seven of her friends.

"S…Sango?" she said weakly.

"Yes Kagome I'm right here!" Sango said in a rush. "How do you feel? What happened?"

"I…can't remember," Kagome gazed around the group until her eyes fell on InuYasha. "InuYasha…did you…?"

"Hey, uh, guys can you leave us alone for a minute?" InuYasha asked the six other people and everyone headed for the door. They waved before shutting it. Kagome's eyes were fixed on InuYasha and he grinned.

"Yeah, I saved you Kagome. Naraku tried to rape you and when you fell you hit your head on the cement. Look, I'm really sorry about that whole secret admirer thing. Can you forgive me?"

Kagome thought a moment. Sure he had tricked her and made her feel stupid and ugly…but he had also saved her from Naraku. Maybe it was time to just…move on…

"Yes InuYasha I forgive you." Kagome smiled weakly and starred up at the ceiling.

"Thanks Kagome. I was so worried about you. Some people had said you went out back with Naraku when I asked them and I could just feel my temper rising. Why did you go outside with him?"

"He wouldn't stop bothering me," Kagome remembered. "I'm gonna tell the principal when I get out of here! If he thinks he can get away with this…"

"He hasn't. I beat him to a pulp!" InuYasha smiled. Kagome looked up at him and smiled too.

"InuYasha…can you promise me just one thing?" she asked.

"Anything Kagome!"

"…no more secrets…"

"Ok. Anything for you Kagome…"
