Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Recess. The story has nothing to do with the movie Recess: Taking The Fifth Grade. Miss Finster is still an assistant teacher, King Bob is still king, and the school is now an academy. Spinelli and T.J. do not like each other, they are best friends nothing more. In the story, Grades Kinder through fourth grade only has one teacher, while fifth through eighth changes classes.

Chapter Three:
~ Fourth Period ~
Mikey walked to his botany class humming a happy tune. He had been looking forward to this class ever since he saw his schedule although it was farther from his last class than the other ones had been but it was closer to the cafeteria, and he had seen T.J and his new friend Kagome, who he thought seemed nice, on their way to their class. Close enough for him to be the fifth or sixth kid in line. Walking into the classroom he smiled widely at all of the plants he saw in the classroom. 'There must be at least a hundred here!' He thought happily as he walked around the classroom looking at each one of them.
Looking around he noticed it was just him, the teacher, and a couple of other students. 'I must have gotten too excited and got to the class way early.' He thought as he sat down in the middle of the class on the edge of the row. He thought he saw Kurst walk by the classroom with her friends and was proven right when she walked in not even ten seconds later. He watched as she walked to the back and plopped into her seat. 'Well, I have a familiar face in my new favorite class!' He thought. Smiling a little to himself, he took his phone out of his pocket.
Mikey: Only one more period until we are able to see each other again my friends. I hope everyone is having a glorious 4th period!
Prankster Prince: It hasn't started yet big guy but I highly doubt language arts can be glorious
Gretch: It won't be too bad T.J, I know Mr. Walkins will make the class both fun as educational
Vincenzo: I don't know about the fun part I almost fell asleep in his class
Prankster Prince: So it's gonna be boring?!
Spinelli: anyway, forget language arts does anyone know what we're having for lunch?
Vincenzo: Hopefully there's a new menu this year
Gretch: I believe we are going to be having sloppy joes for lunch
'Mmmm sloppy joes, now I really can't wait for lunch.' Mikey thought as he looked at the time on his phone when the bell for class to start rang. Mikey read the last text message before he closed his phone before putting it in his pocket before looking at the teacher as the rest of the students walked into class and sat in their seats. "Good morning class my name is Miss Sage, and I will be your teacher. I hope we can get along and have a marvelous school year as I teach you about the many wonderful things about plants." Miss Sage started before she began the lesson for the period.
Throughout the period Mikey listened excitedly and intensely until the bell rang for lunch. 'Time for lunch. and to see my friends' Mikey thought as he walked to the cafeteria.
~ Lunch ~
"Hey, guys!" Gus called out excitedly as he walked over towards the lunch table with his lunch. On the left side of the table was Vince, Gretchen, and Mikey. On the right side of the table was Spinelli who sat in front of Gretchen, and now Gus who was sitting in front of Mikey. "Hello, Gus." Mikey greeted him with a smile. "Can you believe recess for us isn't at ten anymore but after lunch?" Vince asked as he looked at everyone at the table.
"I know! It's bad enough we have to walk round to our classes now, but now we have to wait until after lunch for recess!" Spinelli growled as she slammed her fist onto the table angrily. "Why did they do that?" Gu asked as he looked at Gretchen, figuring that she knew why. "Although I do not agree with them changing the time for recess. They changed it so that it wouldn't interfere with our studies." Gretchen told them.
"Studies smuties it's taking time out of not only our playing time but the time all of us can spend hanging out together," Spinelli said. "Speaking of all of us, where's T.J.?" Gus asked as he took a bite out of his sloppy joe. "Maybe he's still coming from class?" Vince suggested with a slight shrug. "Or maybe he's hanging out with his new friend," Spinelli said as she pointed at T.J. who was walking towards their table while talking with Kagome.
"Hey, guys whatsup?" T.J. smiled as he sat next to Spinelli with Kagome sitting on his left. "Hey, Teej, who's your friend?" Vince asked as he looked a Kagome who smiled and waved. "Guys this is Kagome, Kagome these are my friends Spinelli, Vince, Gretchen, Gus, and Mikey." T.J. introduced everyone, who each said hi or hello when their name was called.
"Have you toured the school?" Gus asked Kagome. "I only saw where my classes are," Kagome told him. "We can show you during recess?" Vince offered her. "That would be nice, thanks." Kagome smiled. She listened as everyone talked to each other about who they had in their classes while she was looking around the cafeteria for her brothers.
"Looking for someone?" She heard Spinelli ask. "Just my brothers," Kagome told her as she looked at her. "What do they look like? Maybe I can see them." Mikey suggested to her. "Thanks, normally there's no way you can miss three of them the other two. I guess it wouldn't be hard to not see them. Which is why I'm surprised I haven't seen them yet." Kagome told him. 'She has five brothers?!' Ran through everyone's mind as they stared at Kagome.
T.J. was going to suggest that they weren't in the cafeteria yet when Gus cut him off. "Oh my gosh, guys that kid with white hair just knocked down corn chip girl!" Gus exclaimed causing everyone at the table to look at where he was looking. T.J., Gus, Gretchen, Vince, and Mikey looked wondering who would knock down corn chip girl and have white hair.
Kagome looked hoping that it wasn't Inuyasha, just someone that matched his description. She almost groaned out loud when she saw him standing over who she guessed was corn chip girl, he was giving her a dirty look with his tray in his hands. She was going to get up, go over and help her up when she saw Miroku lightly slap Inuyasha in the back of his head and helped her up before walking with him to their table.
"Of course he would be hanging out with Lawson and his crew. I don't know why the other guy is too, he seems nice." Spinelli said when she saw them sit down with Lawson and his friends. "I don't know Spinelli maybe they know each other? They are kind of dressed alike but in different colored hoodies." Gus pointed out.
"Cause they're twins who like to dress alike but in their favorite colors and they pretty much go everywhere unless they're fighting but that's rare," Kagome told them as she finished her sloppy joe. "Really? How do you know they're twins?" Vince asked her as he looked between both Miroku and Inuyasha.
"Cause they're my brothers," Kagome responded as she opened her strawberry milk. "The albino is Inuyasha, but you can call him Inutrasha or Inubaka and the other one is Miroku." She continued before taking a sip of her milk.
"The resemblance between you and Miroku are uncanny. At first glance, I would have probably assumed that you two were twins and that Inuyasha was a good friend of Miroku's." Gretchen said as she looked between Miroku and Kagome, comparing the two of them in her head.
"We get that a lot. They always assume it's me and Miroku or Sesshomaru and Inuyasha." Kagome told Gretchen with a slight shrug before finishing her strawberry milk while everyone else finished their lunch.
~ Fifth Period ~
Gus hummed to himself as he walked excitedly into his fifth-period class. He had picked the course because he had thought that learning German would either help him in the military one day or would be something fun to know. He just hoped he wouldn't regret picking German over Spanish and Japanese like Spinelli, Vince, and T.J. did.
Although he couldn't help but wonder why T.J. and Vince had picked Japanse as their language elective. Taking his seat in the front row, Gus placed his camouflage green backpack by his feet. Pulling his phone out of his pocket he messaged the group even though his question was only for two of the members.
Vincenzo: It sounded exciting
Prankster Prince: Plus there's anime!
Vincenzo: ANIME!
Spinelli: I was hoping to get through one day without someone mentioning anime -_-
Vincenzo: Anime is amazing!
Gretch: Are you two planning to travel to Japan in the future?
Gus: Are you guys watching my hero academia?
Spinelli: I should've known you'd watch anime Gus
Gus: What's that suppose to mean?
After waiting for Spinelli to reply for five minutes, Gus sighed before closing his phone and put it in his pocket. Laying his head on his desk, he wondered what exactly Spinelli had meant when she said that.
He looked at the door when he heard the classroom door open right when the bell for class rung. "Good evening class! My name is Mr. Schmidt. I have so much fun and educational opportunities planned for us this year from tasting authentic food to taking field trips!" Mr. Schmidt exclaimed excitedly as he walked towards his desk.
Gus smiled excitedly at the thought of the field trips they were going to take. He listened to the teacher continue to talk about what they were going to do for the rest of the year while he logged into his computer to take attendance.
Looking around he wondered if he would see anyone he knew. 'Hustler kid's in here?' He thought when he heard him reply to his name before looking back to the front of the classroom while he half listened to Mr. Schmidt call out the rest of the names.
~ Sixth Period ~
Spinelli huffed to herself as she walked to her Spanish class. She didn't want to go to class, she wanted to stay in recess for the rest of the day. She glanced at the time on her phone, already counting down the minutes until the seventh period began and she could see her friends again.
Walking into the classroom she saw one of Kagome's brothers sitting in the back with his head laid on the desk and his eyes were closed. She wondered if he was asleep or if his eyes were just closed. 'What was his name? Was it Inuyashe? No, that doesn't sound right. Was it Inutasha? No that doesn't sound right either! Didn't Kagome call him Inubaka? I think she did, but I think that was either a nickname or an insult.' She thought as she remembered how angry he became at hearing the name.
She continued to think about what it could possibly be as took her orange backpack off putting it next to her chair as she sat down in a seat in the middle of the row on the far right of the classroom. 'Whatever I'll figure it out when the teacher calls his name, or I can ask T.J. to ask Kagome.' Spinelli thought as she watched the teacher walk into the room and sit down at her desk.
"Hola clase me llamo señora Taylor y soy tu profesora de español. That means hello class my name is Mrs. Taylor and I am your Spanish teacher. For the first few weeks, we will be learning basic Spanish before moving onto slightly more intermediate levels of Spanish." Mrs. Taylor told everyone before she looked for the class roster and began to take attendance.
She stopped paying attention, half listened to the teacher call out students names knowing she wouldn't get to her name soon, and boredly watched kids respond to their names. 'Hustler kid's in here? I didn't even see him.' She thought when she heard his name before she turned to look at him. Mrs. Taylor continued to call out names, and Spinelli stopped paying attention only listening for her name. After saying that she was present, she looked around the classroom boredly until Mrs. Taylor called out one name in particular.
"Inu-yasha Takahashi?" Mrs. Taylor called out. 'I was close! It's Inuyasha, I was off by like what one letter?' Spinelli thought with a slight grin. She watched as Inuyasha sat up and rose his hand a little before he stretched his arms above his head.
"Did I pronounce that right? I apologize if I didn't." Mrs. Taylor told him. "It's put together, it's pronounced Inuyasha," Inuyasha told her. Mrs. Taylor nodded before she finished calling attendance after that she spent the class period talking about her expectations for the school year and everything they were going to be doing.
Spinelli boredly listened to her not noticing that Inuyasha glanced in her direction.
