Past Vengeance
Chapter 4) Morons & Then Some
Sango looked back at me with a smile. "Here's room 121! You can sit beside Miroku and I... You should meet InuYasha too!" Sango said in a happy way. I inwardly rolled my eyes. Could we say prep? Maybe I should get to know them first before I... No! I can't let them in. I sighed in defeat as she dragged me into the room. There I saw the silver haired inu-hanyou from before and our eyes met. "What are you doing?" I hissed at Sango under my breath. "To take you too meet InuYasha of course!" Sango replied. My eyes widened as we stopped in front of the inu-hanyou. He raised an eyebrow. "InuYasha, I'd like for you to meet... uh..." Sango began. I decided to save her from making an idiot out of herself and introduced myself.
"Higurashi Kagome." I said with barely any interest in all. Once again I found my hands in those of the houshi's. "Lady Kagome..." he began. My patience was wearing thin with this one. "If you do not stop touching me, I will make sure that some youkai has a treat for dinner!" I hissed with venom dripping off my words. The houshi gulped and hid behind Sango. "She's kowaii!" he squeaked. The one known as InuYasha raised his eyebrow at me and then turned. "Why hello miss. I do not believe you've had the pleasure in meeting me." came a voice from behind me. I whirled around to be standing face to face with a youkai. I growled. "Youkai..." I noticed. "A miko ne?" he asked. I crossed my arms. "Are you a threat?" I asked him. He chuckled. "I Kouga, prince of the southern wolf tribe, am no threat to my woman." he stated. My eyes began to twitch. "Y-You're woman?" I asked in a threatening tone.
He nodded. "Hai, any miko that is as beautiful as you can only rightfully be my woman." he told me. I grabbed him by the collar, which caused gasps to go up in the room. "I don't care Kouga, the moron of all morons! I am nobody's woman and refuse to be treated as property!" I snarled. I could see the inu-hanyou getting interested from the corner of my eyes. Kouga's eyes narrowed. "You wouldn't..." he began. "Oh, I would." I finished before sending him flying across the room, my aura spiking with anger. "Touch me again and you'll wish you were being devoured alive by the nastiest youkai around!" I told him. Kouga only smirked. "I'll win you over, Kagome-chan." he stated as he stood up. "Kouga-kun!" came the concerned voice of another wolf youkai. She had bright red hair and beautiful blue-green eyes. "Ayame..." he growled.
"Uh, Kagome?" Sango asked me. I turned around to face her and sighed. "Hai?" "If you'd like you can sit with us... Or with Kouga-kun." she told me. Feeling agitated I sat down on the other side of InuYasha. "Fine." I grumbled. I looked over to see a smirking InuYasha. "First time?" he asked me. I shook my head in reply. "What did you do before coming to school?" he wondered. "I..." I began when I got a hold of myself once more. "None of your business." I hastily corrected myself. "Feh..." I heard his reply and turned my head. "Ah, konnichi wa minna." the teacher replied. "I believe we have a new student, miss?" he asked me. I stood up and let him inspect me carefully.
"Why don't you introduce yourself to the class hmm?" he asked. I sighed with annoyance and trudged to the front of the classroom. "My name's Higurashi Kagome. I am a miko, I am no one's woman..." I began looking straight at Kouga. "This is my first time at school, ever. Lie I won't tell you what I did before now." I finished looking at InuYasha. Mr. Myouga sighed. "That's interesting Miss Higurashi. You may have a seat." he told me and I sat right back down in my seat. "You all may mingle with each other until the bell rings." he replied and everyone began to talk. I sat back in my seat and kept quiet until Sango tried to pry me of some information.
"So uh, Kagome-sama, you don't mind me calling you that do you? Could at least give us a little hint at what you've been doing?" she pleaded. I sighed. I seemed to be doing a lot more of that lately. "Lie, I don't mind and fine... If it'll get you to stop pestering me." I asked her. She nodded. "I hunted, and still do, youkai's that pose a threat... Happy?" I asked her. Her eyes widened. "Are you kidding me? I hunt youkai's too!" she exclaimed. "A taijiya? How could I have missed that..." I wondered out loud. Sango giggled. "It's hard to believe that such a beauty would be so strong, other than you Sango." the houshi spoke up. I gave a dangerous growl and knocked him across the head at the same time Sango did. "Seems that Miroku isn't having any luck." InuYasha spoke with crossed arms. I looked at him. "Well today just isn't his lucky day." I mumbled before hearing the bell ring. "Kagome-sama... What class do you have next?" I heard Sango ask me.
"I have..." I began as I looked down at my schedule. "Gym next... I have gym..." I replied. Sango squealed and I had to hold my ears. "Bloody! Do you have to be so loud?" I asked her. "Hai Sango! Calm down! Jeez... You don't even know her yet!" I heard InuYasha pipe in as I saw him holding his ears as well. "You guys! We all have the same class next!" Sango informed us. "Why do you include me in this?" I asked her. "Don't you have any friends? I mean come on!" Sango said.
I looked away. "Keh... I don't have friends... They only would get in the way of my duty." I told her. "But surely you had to have friends as a child. You had to have fun." she persisted. I regretted what I did next when I snapped at her. "Lie! I never had friends! I never had fun! I trained and I didn't mind not being outside for fun! Sure, I used to beg to go outside and play but then I changed my mind about it all and I will not tell you my reason because it doesn't concern you!" I bellowed as I stormed off. I felt the tears and just shrugged them away. I didn't need her bringing up my childhood... It wasn't something I wanted to relive.
I heard the gasp from the taijiya and felt horrible. I stopped and sighed. Once I turned around I could feel the coolness on my face. My eyes widened as I felt the tear that had fallen. Their eyes widened as well, even InuYasha's. They approached me, except Sango ran to hug me. "Gomen na sai Kagome-sama. I had no idea... Please don't cry." she asked. "We'll be here if you want to talk." the houshi piped in. I struggled from Sango's arms and gave them all a scowl. "Don't care for me! I don't like to feel this!" I snarled as I shoved my wet hand towards them. "I don't need friends. They'll only get in the way of my duty and end up like..." I trailed off before shutting my eyes. I looked at them one more time. "Never in my life have I ever felt so weak and I refuse to continue to feel this way." I told them and walked off towards the gym. Morons and then some...

Author's Note: Please let me know if you like this chapter, I don't know if I should keep it... I know Kagome, all of a sudden, became emotional, but you have to consider. The Inu-Tachi were friends from the start and with what I plan to reveal soon I had to have it this way. I also plan on something suspenseful happening towards the end of the next chapter so knowing if I should keep this one the way it is, is a must. Oh and if you couldn't figure this out already, this story is told in Kagome's point of view and any italics are her thoughts unless I state the change in point of views. Here is the dictionary:
Inu-Hanyou - Half Dog Demon
Houshi - Monk
Youkai - Full Demon
Kowaii - Scary
Miko - Shrine Maiden; Priestess
Ne - Eh
Hai - Yes
Lie - No
-Chan - Added to the end of a name showing affection, more for couples
-Kun - Added to the end of names showing friendship, towards males
Konnichi Wa - Hello can also be spelled Konnichiwa
Minna - Everyone
-Sama - Added to end of name to show respect and/or friendship
Taijiya - Demon Slayer Exterminator
