CHAPTER 5

"Sango!" Kagome shouted to her friend in homeroom.

It had been two days since the episode in front of the school with Naraku.

Inuyasha stumbled in to class in a pair of jeans and a wrinkled blue t-shirt.

"'Sup guyzzzzzz?" he said in a slurred voice.

Kouga chuckled, Jakotsu and Miroku laughed.

Kouga said, smirking, "You look a little, tired, Inuyasha. What's going on?"

"HANG…… OVER…….. FUCK…… OFF," Inuyasha said in a stern, yet slurred, voice.

Kagome ran over to him.

"Inuyasha, you don't look so good," she said in a worried voice, "what did you do last night?"

Inuyasha looked down at the girl in front of him and wrapped his arms around her, then buried his nose in her hair.

"Hey, baby," he said and kissed her, "how you doin'?"

Kagome looked at him and smiled worriedly, "I'm fine Inuyasha, you're the one who isn't okay."

Rin was laughing behind her hands, Sango was frowning, and the boys were rolling on the ground. Ayame looked up to see Kouga on the ground, and laughed.

Kikyo walked in with Tsubaki and her fellow gang of sluts.

"INUYASHA!" Kikyo said and ran over to him, shoving Kagome out of the way and putting her hand on his arm, "What happened?"

Inuyasha had just enough energy to say, "Kikyo, hitchhike to hell with Naraku. You equals bitch."

Then he passed out.

Apparently, Miroku and Kouga were prepared for an emergency of this stature, in five minutes the bell was going to ring and they would have to go to class.

"Kagome," Miroku said while trying not to laugh, "you might want to move away from the sleeping hanyou."

Kouga, Jakotsu, and Miroku, along with several other boys in the class that were members of the K-9 gang, pulled out 2-liter bottles of ice cold water. And when I say ice-cold, I mean 'touch it and you're in danger of hypothermia.'

The girls stepped back and the boys stood in a circle around their sleeping leader.

Miroku chanted, "1….2….3….NOW!"

All the boys pored the entire contents of each of their bottles on him; he came up sputtering, and glared.

Absolutely NO one laughed. (Inuyasha becomes dangerous when he is angry.)

Kagome giggled and laughed at the expression on his face.

Inuyasha's expression changed into a smirk and he looked at Kagome.

"No," Kagome said and backed away, "no, no, no, no, no, no, no!"

"Yes baby, yes, yes, yes," Inuyasha grinned, got up, and pounced, giving her a bear-hug, and completely soaking her clothes and hair.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome whined, "Now I'm all wet!"

Inside, Kagome was delighted though, Inuyasha was soaked, she was soaked, and he was still holding her in his arms. She could stay here all day!

"Hmm," she sighed contentedly. She had forgotten that the class was still watching them.

"Eek!" she said and backed away.

"Oh yeah," Inuyasha said to no one in particular, "she wants me."

Kagome blushed, but was saved by the bell.

Lunchtime:

They all sat at the same table again.

"Inuyasha," Kagome said when she was finished chewing, "can we go to the movies tonight?"

Inuyasha looked at all the guys questioningly; one by one they nodded.

"Let's go someplace better baby," Inuyasha said with a grin, "it'll be a surprise."

"Um, okay," Kagome, said nervously.

Inuyasha saw her expression and smiled, pulling her closer he whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. You know I won't let anyone hurt you."

Kagome smiled, but that smile turned to a frown when she saw Naraku, Bankotsu, and a few member of the Spider's walk in.

Inuyasha sensed them and turned around to find Naraku right behind him.

He stood up violently and got in Naraku's face.

"What the fuck did you think you were doing last night?" Inuyasha said in a low, dangerous voice, "I'm surprised you had the nerve to show up at school this morning."

"You filthy dog," Naraku hissed at him, "you're dead meat tonight."

Inuyasha sneered, "You're dead meat now."

Inuyasha punched him in the face; pretty soon they had a full blown fight going. Inuyasha got kicked through a window, (thank god it was open! Shudder, broken glass!), but leaped back through and round-housed Naraku into the hallway. They crashed through the doorway and out onto the football field.

"That's right K-9!" Naraku said with glee, (and a bloody face), "Doggies bite back."

Inuyasha roared at him to fuck off and launched himself at Naraku with his teeth bared and his claws out.

He almost got there too, except a whip of greenish-yellow energy shot out and wrapped itself around him, bringing Inuyasha crashing to the ground.

By this time the whole school had flooded out of the cafeteria to watch the spectacle. The principle was trying to calm everyone down, but people were cheering for either Naraku or Inuyasha.

Inuyasha got up, dusted himself off and rounded onto the bearer of the whip.

Kagome ran out the doors and onto the edge of the field with Sango, Miroku, Kouga, Ayame, and Rin in tow. Jakotsu and everyone else were catching up.

"Inuyasha," the voice that belonged to the whip-bearer spoke coldly, "I'm not surprised to find you brawling like a common animal, and in public, no less."

"Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha growled, "stay the hell out of this!"

Sesshoumaru sneered and spoke to Naraku, "You are also a half-breed, to fight Inuyasha, you fight someone of even lower station then your inferior level. Come, we will fight inste-"

Sesshoumaru was cut off as he was thrown to the side by Inuyasha's kick. Inuyasha and Naraku resumed fighting, but were broken up when Kagome and Tsubaki ran onto the field; each thinking this had gone on long enough.

When their girlfriends got onto the field, both the boys quit fighting.

Naraku glared at Inuyasha and hissed at him, "This isn't over, see you tonight."

Then he limped off after throwing Tsubaki over his shoulder like a sack of flour.

(ATTN: Is flour even used in Japan?)

The principle decided that since Inuyasha and Naraku weren't dead and no school property was damaged, (remember, the window was open, so it didn't break), that he would let Inuyasha off with a detention. (Like he would show up anyway.) (Lol.)

Kagome held his hand and dragged him up to the nurses office.

They walked in the doors and the nurse came rushing over.

"Oh my goodness, Inuyasha, another fight?" the nurse asked worriedly.

"Yes ma'am," Inuyasha said and sat in a chair.

The nurse was going to treat his injuries, but Kagome said she would do it. The nurse told them to call if they needed anything.

"Come on Inuyasha," Kagome dragged him into the back room and got out an icepack and some bandages.

"Kagome," Inuyasha protested, "I'm fine, alright? It's no big deal, I get in fights every other day practically."

"You are not fine mister!" Kagome said with a frown, "I saw you sit down! You winced; now take off your shirt! You have a bruise and it NEEDS ICE!"

She practically shrieked the last part so he took off his shirt.

She gasped at what she saw, and started crying.

This wasn't from the fight with Naraku. This was from the fight with Naraku's gang.

There was a picture in living color of what gang life was like, right in front of her.

He had several slashes from knives and katanas, two on his back and one on his stomach, (the one from last chapter,) bruises laced across his chest, in varying degrees of color. His bruises were healing, and so were the slashes, but they would be there for another few days. He also had a burn mark on one arm that went from just below the shoulder to half way down his back.

She sobbed and collapsed onto the floor.

He picked her up bridal style and carried her to a chair, where he held her as she cried into his shoulder.

"Ssshhh," he said soothingly.

"But your back," she said through tears, "you shoulder, why didn't you tell me? Is this from one night? Do you get hurt this bad every night?"

Sango told me he was stronger then the rest, but I had no idea how many injuries he has. He's going to get himself killed. But that can't happen! He's supposed to be unstoppable! Oh Kami! Please protect him!

"Ssshhh, baby," he said quietly, "it's not so bad. Most of these will be gone by tonight. The knife cut will only be there until day after tomorrow; it's going to be okay. Dogs are tough, you know that honey."

"Please," Kagome said and hugged him tightly, avoiding the cuts on his back, "just be safe okay, just come to school tomorrow, and please don't not come home."

Inuyasha held her and thought, "Before I had her it was easy, before I had her I had nothing to lose. Now I have someone to protect. Someone to think about when I pick up my gun to start patrol and come back in mere hours before school starts. Someone to love. I think I love her."

Inuyasha sat in the nurse's waiting room chair, with no shirt on, in the whitewashed walls of Tokyo High and thought of how much he needed someone like her.

The phrase rang through his head, "Someone to protect."

He vowed that no one would ever hurt her.

AFTER SCHOOL:

Kagome walked out the doors of Tokyo High after saying good bye to the girls and started the long journey home. Well, not that long, only ½ a mile, but still, come on!

Inuyasha pulled up in a dark blue; beat up, pickup truck with bullet holes in the side of the bed.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you forget? We have a date."

"I wanted to change my clothes first," she protested.

"Fine," he rolled his eyes and smirked, "see you at five o'clock, I know where you live, oo! Got to go sexy, have a street race at four! Later."

He sped down the street, leaving her worrying about him once again.

I'm soooooooooooo sorry about busting up Inuyasha's perfect chest! I know it is evil of me! But don't worry; he will be okay!

Too Sappy? Too Violent? Too Spacey? Let me know!

Please tell me what you think of the chapter, and once again sorry!
