Recap:

'This is gross!' Hojo thought disgustedly. 'I think I'll have to intercept this relationship…but how? She's having way too much fun while her mother is still missing…doesn't that brat even miss her?'

Hojo put on his own wicked smile.

'I've got an idea,' he thought as he jumped down from the tree branch that overlooked the house.

Broken Wings

Chapter 16

Unfair Battles

Kagome walked through the school doors with InuYasha at her side. She wore her usual black hoody and dark jeans. InuYasha wore his black t-shirt with the red lettering 'Why don't you return to Planet Prep where you belong?' With his black pants and dangling chain clanging from side to side, his outfit was complete.

The school had a refreshed feel to it after the week long break. Friends were chatting up a storm in the hallways and everything was going well for the hanyou/human couple.

"This final weekend was unusually satisfying…" InuYasha breathed as he rubbed the side of her ribs. She looked up at him with a mischief's look on her face.

"I bet it was for my Sir Goth. You couldn't keep your hands off me," she said seductively. He looked at her with a slight blush, though his eyes remained sharp.

"Well my Madden of Black, neither could you," he informed suggestively, moving his hands down her side gently. She smirked at him but it quickly turned into a frown when she heard someone speaking out to her.

"Kagome! Hey Kagome!" a male voice shouted from behind. InuYasha growled as the scent of that wimpy human entered his nose again.

"What do you want with her Hojo?" InuYasha barked out, the hold on his Kagome tightening. Though the grasp on her was firm, he was very cautious around her wrists, afraid that his strength may reopen the old cutting wounds.

Hojo could hear his heart beat faster as he came closer to Kagome. InuYasha scared him, no denying it…and there was no point in getting his ass kicked for being stubborn. He swallowed hard before he reacted.

"N-nothing, I just wanted to apologize to Kagome," he said in all honestly.

InuYasha snorted as his request. He took a quick glance at Kagome. He could feel her hold on him tapering, even become a bit insecure. Her smell was being consumed by the feel of anger and fear. Her pale face turned away from Hojo.

"I think you've done enough talking, Homo. So why don't you go screw your boyfriend or something?" InuYasha snapped out as he led Kagome away. Hojo stood there in shock; nobody had ever openly mocked him in public before.

He could feel his fist coil as the feel of his anger rose. He wasn't going to let some tainted half-breed demon get the best of him. He had a plan and InuYasha was falling for it.

The couple walked onward. InuYasha looked down at his girl, her eyes were clouded over. Kagome didn't feel anything for Hojo anymore but still she felt uneasy around him. She could still feel that pain when his dreaded hand grasped her pain-stricken wrist.

InuYasha stroked the side of her arm soothingly, hoping it would make her snap out of her little issue. She looked into his unusually kind yellow eyes. She smiled meekly and leaned into his body. She felt so safe in his strong arms.

As they walked down the hallway, people gave them the same disgusted stares the strangers in their neighborhood had.

One particular malignant looking bystander came up to them as they headed for the doors.

"Hey mutt-boy! What're ya doin' with a pretty chick like that? And don't tell me you're dating," the arrogant human criticized crudely.

InuYasha and Kagome looked at him in shock…this was random. The human stood proudly in front of his other two subordinate companions. From the look of his self-important stance, this human was the leader of his little pack of friends.

His dark ebony hair was messily placed on his head. Ears peaked out the side of his head, perfectly inline with his cold, red eyes. His arms were crossed on his dark red t-shirt and his pants sagged below his belt.

"Do I even know you?" InuYasha asked, rather baffled at the guy's sudden appearance and gal to confront him in such a manner.

"If you don't know who I am, then you really are small in the social statues. I'm Naraku," he announced. Kagome shifted a little bit behind InuYasha.

InuYasha could see that she obviously knew the human…and from the look of her reaction, she dreaded being near him. She looked away from the mortal while her hanyou laced his hands within hers, giving her a comforting stare before continuing his conversation with Mr. Naraku.

"Well Naraku, I don't give a damn who you are. So get out of the way before you loose your pretty little eyes," InuYasha threatened. This only made Naraku choke out a small laugh.

"You think you're going to hurt me? Ha! Give me a break, half-breed, you couldn't even catch a tail between your legs," he jeered, jabbing a finger at InuYasha. He could only growl at Naraku's insults…even from this brief little encounter, he knew full well that he would definitely never consider this human a friend.

"Hmm, are all necrophilia’s this bitchy or are you the only one?" InuYasha retorted smugly, giving him the most lethal glare he could muster. This had Naraku sizzling in his anger.

"No one insults me and gets away with it," he snarled as he lunged at InuYasha.

InuYasha smiled and moved out of the way of the oncoming fist, pulling Kagome away so she wouldn't get in the way of the punch. Naraku looked up at him, furry burning in his eyes. He threw several more quick punches and kicks at InuYasha. Though he was indeed a very swift human, InuYasha had effortlessly dodged each blow.

Kagome stayed safely out of the way, looking onward at the little feud. She was glad that InuYasha was the one on her side…though she didn't even know InuYasha could fight. She had thought he was a peaceful artist but those moves of his were incredible!

Naraku noted that the hanyou wasn't fighting back and that he had successfully dodged each attack.

"Why aren't you fighting, dog-breath?" Naraku demanded in frustration.

"I don't feel the need to beat your ass into your face; you're no threat to me. Besides, what kind of boyfriend would I be if I started fighting in front of a lady?" InuYasha said with a smirk.

Kagome giggled at his obvious call out to her. The composer set on his face was making the explosive human shout out even more.

"She's a Goth, you idiot! She's probably used to this sort of thing…now fight back, dog!" Naraku yelled.

An on-looking student opened their mouth and announced the coming of a teacher.

InuYasha coolly walked away, disappearing into the moving crowd along with Kagome holding onto his hand. Naraku had run off into his first period class while the gathered crowds of people dispersed in all directions. The teacher saw nothing.

"I'm sorry Kagome," InuYasha apologized sadly. "I didn't even say anything in your defense…" he said as he looked away in shame.

"It's okay," she comforted. "But you know what?" she asked, dragging his stare back to her. He shrugged his shoulders in question. She gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

"That was so cool how you dodged all of that guy's attacks! I had no idea you were such a good fighter!" she exclaimed in astonishment.

"And neither did we," cried out a pair of familiar voice.

Sango and Miroku came running up to them.

"It's good to see the two of you again," Kagome said with a greeting smile.

"Well, after that sleepover we didn't see each other. InuYasha, you hogged Kagome the whole time and I couldn't even talk to her. How am I supposed to get to know the lady better if you keep her all to yourself?" Miroku winked.

"She's my girlfriend, so I get unlimited access to her," he argued back with a smile, putting a protective hand around Kagome's waist.

"You're so cruel and unfair," Miroku playfully pouted.

"Get yourself a girlfriend and then you'll see how hard it is to let go of 'em," InuYasha suggested.

"I'm working on one," Miroku said, moving closer to Sango. She glared in annoyance at the lecherous boy.

Sango herself was a little confused by the boy's feelings for her. She had never thought of herself anything special to look at…she was always just one of the boys, a friend, but nothing more. Her mind told her so but her feelings for Miroku were just too confusing to decipher.

"Huh! As if, perv," she covered, slapping his hand away.

"Oh well. On a lighter note, InuYasha, you should have just punched that guy into the ground," Miroku enlightened, hitting his fist into his palm for emphasis.

"Feh, he wasn't worth it. Besides, Kagome was there and I didn't want her to get hurt if I messed up," he said, rubbing Kagome's side to assure that she was okay.

The bell rung loudly and the little reunion ended as the four scattered to their classes.

"Welcome back class," the teacher said in a bored tone. "Let's go around and tell everyone how their break was…"

When nobody started to talk, the teacher shifted his eyes slowly to the back of the room, hunting out a volunteer.

"InuYasha; how was your break? I hope it was more interesting than your usual 'feh' kind of a day…" he mocked crudely.

InuYasha rolled his eyes. There was just something about this day; people were just edging him to fight with them or something.

"Oh no…this day was more of a 'humph', really," he said, smirking at his comeback. Kagome watched in amusement. She liked to listen to him argue with people because he always seemed to have something witty to say.

The teacher, however, was not amused at all. He narrowed her eyes at the hanyou.

"Rather outspoken today, aren't you Mr. Takashi?" the teacher spat out.

"I wouldn't think so. I was simply answering the question you posed," InuYasha said smoothly, not even flinching at the teacher's seething words.

"Mr. Takashi, step outside into the hallway! I will not tolerate such rudeness from my students!" the teacher yelled, pointing a menacing finger at the Gothic boy.

InuYasha was a little confused by that little overreaction. The teacher was usually much more patient with him than this.

"But that's unfair Mr. Sencai," Kagome announced stridently in her boyfriend's defense. "InuYasha wasn't doing anything wrong and you know that! He was just answering your question which, might I add, you asked very unkindly!" Kagome shouted back at the teacher. Her seat had squeaked when she stood up to point an accusing finger at the educator.

"Miss Higurashi…" the teacher stuttered out in astonishment. "Are you telling me that my judgment is too strict for this creature?"

"Yes, I do!" she declared with brute honesty.

"If that is the way you feel, then you can go stand out in the hallway with him."

When Kagome left the room, she stood plainly in the hallway while leaning against the wall for comfort. InuYasha was definitely sensing something wrong. He received a referral for his little 'outburst' and Kagome received a simple verbal warning.

InuYasha was no fool…he could tell this was some kind of a setup. The teacher was uncharacteristically rude. Someone obviously wanted him out of this school and fast.
