Thursday Morning

After yesterday Kagome was ready for Koga. At least she thought she was ready for the teen as she walked to the one place she knew he would be at this time of morning on the basketball court. She assumed that even champions had to be ready for anything even if she did get to school 30 minutes early to see him.

The gate to the outdoor court was open she went in and look at captain of Shikon High make the best shots at any range it was amazing, at that moment she was happy Koga was at their school.

She almost didn't want to break it all up but had to.

"Koga" She shouted out to him. He turned and placed the ball down near him.

"Yeah what?" He said looking at her cautiously not many women came after him. Heck no woman came after him at all since his earlier debacle at this school all believing he was like Sesshomaru a freaking gay guy. What was worse Sesshomaru thought that he was gay because of that picture and he never let him live it down.

So when he figured out that Sesshomaru had similar situation he figured out ways to never let him or Vegeta when he felt like joining in live it down. It of course was the main cause of their fights as well as them speaking ill of his good friend Goku…but that was another story.

Right now the girl in front of him was pulling out something out of her book bag, a paper of some sort.

"Here it is, I would like to get your signature for our project, but first you have to promise me two things"

"Ok what if I don't want to sign the paper?"

"Then you will miss out on graduation, we all will" She said rolling her eyes.

"Hey don't you hang out with that turd Vegeta" He said attempting to avert the topic.

"Yes but what does that have to do with anything?" She said smiling at him.

"Well…maybe I don't want to sign the paper because of your friendship"

"Now you're being childish Koga, and if you don't sign the paper Koga, I'll…I'll beat you up" She said as she crossed her arms frowning at him.

He couldn't help but laugh a real laugh this time with the girl in front of him. She didn't look like she could touch him or even a fly. 'Don't know if she has guts but she's here with me so maybe she does' He thought to himself as he looked at her with mirth.

"Ok I will do it for you give me the paper" He said reaching for it. He looked it over like everyone else did Kagome noticed. She saw him look at it in awe.

"This first draft was done by Sango and I, the next time I want you and others to help. Which brings me to the promises I want you to keep"

"Yeah go on"

"I want your full support on this Koga will you be at the next meeting fully vested in this project?"

"Yes, I'll be there for every meeting Kagome" He said grinning at her. That part was easy enough but the next part was a little tough.

"Good, now the other promise is you have to not fight Vegeta or Sesshomaru" She winced waiting on his response, she looked at him and If looks could kill at that moment she would be dead by his now cold blue calculating eyes. He signed the paper then spoke.

"Keh, alright then I'll do it but you have to make sure they don't touch me either, now if you'll excuse me I have to get ready to go the first bell is about to ring. Maybe you should be ready to leave to" He said as he started to pack up his stuff.

She put the paper in her book bag and walked behind him both had different thoughts, Kagome was thinking about the next person she needed to speak to, Koga was thinking about getting to know Kagome better. Mostly because no other woman had ever felt the need to talk to him and she did.

3rd Period-Free Period

Now this is where the group names for the project became tricky. Her next person to talk to was Bulma since this was her free period as well as Bulma's both teens knew to stay far, far away from each other since the end of their friendship.

At the beginning of the year which was about two weeks ago now it was fine to feel this way. The reason both girls received a free period was because they were the smartest females of the school and they both decided early on to get their tough classes out of the way early.

So for the first two years at Shikon High they had long days with no lunches to reap the benefits of having a lunch and a free period it got them out of school early or so it should have. The mistake that always happened for both girls was that someone always attempted to feel them up, sometimes females did this to Bulma since being seen in the newspaper with girls and guys, or some chick attempts to fight for their man.

It always ended badly for their counterpart which landed them in detention, which took away the privilege of them leaving early. Kagome essentially was not a fighter but she knew how to hold her own against people.

At the moment though she knew where Bulma was within the huge school on the second floor in a lab. Kagome knew it was Bulma's passion to be a famous scientist like her father Thomas Briefs, the inventor of the capsule. Which is a pill like compartment that can store huge items, all someone would have to do is place the small capsule near a big item or small then press the button and boom your items are safely stored for future use.

Some capsules can have passwords like the one she brought to school last week. Bulma was always striving to do better than her father in her own way and would also have her father's company after college. Hopefully she would have her father's company if nothing else from this school or local newspapers showed up.

Kagome went to room 206 where she knew her former friend would be with one goal in mind them to finally talk if only for a minute. She opened the door to the bare room to see a guard sitting in front and Bulma in the middle of the room cleaning beakers.

The guard was usually in certain classrooms where it was a free period for the few students like her and Bulma who were waiting on another class. Waving the guard off she walked over to the teen who was starting to get ready.

"Good Morning Bulma" She said as she approached the girl.

"Is there something you want Kagome, hmm…let me guess that project we're supposed to work on is that correct" She asked looking up.

"Yes Bulma that is correct, for once can we be civilized about it"

"Really, civilized that's how you want us to be Kagome, I'm sorry I just can't be that way ever with you. I almost don't even want to work with you on this paper and it was the reason why I didn't show up Tuesday, I feel that it is a waste of time for us to all be in a group that will end in destruction, I mean just look at the guys one look at each other and they are fighting, Miroku is no different-" She didn't finish her sentence as Kagome held her hand up stopping her.

"Very well Bulma I get it and I agree with you to a point however I think there is a reason why we are together on this. In truth we are always together even if we do not get along. Kaede in her own way may have placed us together because we were the only people not in her class that day but it doesn't mean that we aren't the best at English and Shop classes we can be amazing if we truly put out minds to it Bulma, we just have to try" Blue eyes clashed with blue as Kagome finished her statement. She knew she was right this time for some reason this year would be different, she could feel it in her bones. Things were going to change and they were going to be a part of that change, she just knew it.

"I'm not your friend Kagome, I don't trust you"

"And that's fine Bulma, gone are that days I cry over our friendship, you can hate and not trust me all you want if it makes you feel better, but for now I need you to be a part of this, for us to at least get along for now. Please Bulma help us, you are a genius and we need your mind to get us all out of here"

"You do know that you are a genius too, right?" Bulma said looking over that paper. The paper had some good starting points.

"Yes but two geniuses are better than one don't you think?" She countered back.

"I guess you have a point, let me see the paper I'll sign it and I assume there will be a meeting to discuss everything further"

"Yes, you know me well should I question that" She said looking at her former friend smiling.

"No I just know that it is something I would do" She said signing the paper she handed it back to her.

"Now I have 30 minutes' left Kagome did you want to join me today or just sit here because I have to work until my next class" Bulma said as she put on her googles. Kagome decided to watch Bulma work this time because she needed all the thinking time she could get…Chi-Chi was the final person on the list. Kagome knew because of everything she would be the hardest.

7th Period-End of Detention

The final person on her list Chi-Chi was walking briskly to her vehicle past everyone else. Kagome walked in back of her waiting to see if she would stay and watch the game or something. Not her cousin Chi-Chi threw her book bag in the car got in and started to leave. It was at that moment Kagome had to stop her although she had no right to, running to her car she pulled at the passenger door for her attention.

Rolling down her window she said, "WHAT DO YOU WANT KAGOME" Yelling at her.

"To talk to you about the paper" She said sighing.

"Is that all you wanted to talk about the paper you could have called me when I got home and told me…oh wait that's right you aren't talking to me. So give me a reason why I shouldn't just drive off and say the hell with this damn paper, screw graduating"

"Because you don't want to no matter what's going on between us, you don't want to not graduate" She gauged Chi-Chi's reaction on the matter and saw her expression soften. Chi-Chi unlocked the passenger door and let Kagome in.

Both girls were thinking about their situations of the past when Kagome decided to break the ice. "Why did you do it Chi-Chi, why was Bulma more important than me that you just took her side?" She said waiting on her cousin's response. Kagome was sad that she no longer had her best friend Bulma but for her family to just side with her made her feel so out of place.

"Because she needed me more Kagome and I don't mean that in the way you're thinking but the way Bulma sometimes is. There are times where she has no filter, doesn't care who she hurts or she doesn't realize it" Chi-Chi looked over at her cousin with tears in her eyes and continued.

"Now she realizes herself more because she has no one on her side but at the time I knew you could hold your own with or without us she could not. You were and are the cool, calm, cousin, the logical one if you want to go there, she was not, she was and is very smart and so are you but she could become a brat in certain situations" She stopped herself for a moment her brown eyes looking directly at Kagome's more tearful blue ones.

"I mean this from the heart Kagome, the best thing that could have happened to all of us was Tsubaki and Naraku breaking us up, I mean I don't condone how the bitch did it but it gave me time to think, now I didn't want to lose my cousin but maybe that was for the best I just wish that you stop holding this against me"

"Chi-Chi I- "

"What Kagome, that I didn't feel the pain too that at our family reunions when we didn't even speak to each other. Well I did but I learned to get past them to survive every single day in this hellhole now tell me more about this paper so that I can go home" She said as Kagome pulled out the paper for her to look over. Chi-Chi silently looked over the paper happy to finally have that out in the open.

Now maybe she could get her cousin back, she knew Kagome was a forgiving person heck she was a forgiving person but for now they could be two people working on a paper to graduate.

"It will take a little time Chi to get back to that point, Ok?"

"I understand and please know that it will take me time also, right now though let's get this paper out of the way"

"Right let's do that" She saw Chi-Chi Sign the paper and knew that the final piece of the puzzle was complete.

Except… "Hey Chi-Chi you will be around for the next meeting right I'm going to call everyone for details."

"Ok I'll expect your call this time, she stopped to smile at her cousin, now get out of my car Kagome"

Kagome took the hint and got out finally finished with all of the signatures in her hand. She was satisfied for now waiting for the ball to drop with all of the promises she made, hoping the guys wouldn't fight and the girls all got along. Kagome walked to her car and started to wait for Miroku who she knew would be coming out any minute with jocks on his tail.

Friday Morning- 2nd period

Kagome was happy because the first part of all of this this was over. She wanted to do a happy dance she whispered to Sango who was in her class this period.

"Hey Sango…Sango" She said trying to get her attention.

"What" She whispered so loudly that she was surprised the teacher didn't catch them. Sango didn't know it was Kagome speaking to her until she turned her head to the side, her facial expression softened. Kagome smiled at her.

"Hey I have all of the signatures for today and will present it to Kaede, it took a couple of days and promises from the guys but I did it" She showed the paper to Sango with all of the signatures. She also reprinted the top copy with all of their names.

"That's great hopefully we will do good, were there any problems with me coming up with the ideas"

"No everyone loved the ideas we are going to use now we just have to plan the meetings and get to work"

"Sounds great Kags"

"Hey a nick name thanks"

"Ladies is there something you want to say to the class since it has to be more important than my lecture" The teacher said as he looked at them. Both girls looked sheepishly at the teacher.

"No it's fine we'll be quiet continue please" Kagome said as she waited for the teacher to start again. The teacher turned around writing a problem on the board. Both girls look at each other with smirks on their faces then started doing their work. That look wasn't unnoticed to Kikyo who look at the girls frowning in the back.

'Tsubaki needs to know about this soon, this is not good' She turned to her work with that thought on her mind.

5th Period English

Kaede looked at her class and she could say that everyone was here today. 'It must be because of the game today' She thought. Game days meant the usual fights didn't start because that was the only time Coach Mushin was rough on the boys and would keep them out of the game no matter how good you were on game days if you got into fights you weren't in the game.

So she was lucky that she had all of her students here today that she started on the assignments given to her students last week. She would have to thanks Totosai again for this opportunity to help all of her seniors every year they presented these projects. For now, though…

"Good Afternoon class it looks like everyone is here today, she said looking over at the guys who were glaring at each other, As you all know the first draft of your paper is due today, I only need one person per group to come up and tell me and your peers what you decided to work on, a synopsis if you will"

She stopped and heard some groans then continued, "Now since my previous class has already presented their project the last three groups of this class will present their ideas and turn in the paper. I will start with group four please will someone come up"

All of the students watch as Kaede called the student of group four who's project needed a little work. The student stated that they would have more for the second draft due two months from now and took their seats. The next group came which screamed popular crew in this case Kagura presented the small scale 1910 vehicle, it's uses then and how it could be used now when they completed it. Kaede was surprised at the project in awe at how they would accomplish it but kept the last part to herself.

And finally group six, she was skeptical at first when she assigned this to the kids who always shared detention together but maybe just maybe she would be wrong and they got along. She called for the final group to come forward and she saw Kagome get up to the front of the class.

"Good Afternoon, our project will involve a catapult and guillotine, we all felt that both items on a small scale will satisfy the requirements needed for the project. It will display the uses of the past and the present. Here you go Ms. Kaede the paper" She said as she gave the paper to Kaede. Like the last group she was impressed she wanted to know how they would pull off two projects with the group being so volatile.

She had to be sure she had the right team.

"This project like the last project has promise to be sure I have group six as Vegeta Ouji, Miroku Mori-Higurashi, Chi-Chi King, Kagome Higurashi, Sesshoumaru Tashio, Ayame Maeda, Goku Son, Bulma Briefs, Sango Hamasaki, and Koga Sasaki"

"Yes, that's correct"

"I must say that this will be interesting, I will be rooting for you guys, you may take your seat Kagome" She saw Kagome go to her seat but not before passing notes to her team member as she passed by. Usually she would be angry that notes were being passed but she knew it was for this class she let it slide.

She saw the looks of the other class members with frowns on their faces why she didn't know or continue to reflect on it. She saw the clock signaling that it was time for her class to end so she waited another minute for the bell to ring. Yes, she would see how this year went for these students…

Miroku looked at all of the newly received attention placed on them and he didn't like it much. He along with everyone from their group stayed behind.

Not knowing what else to say he said, "We are now the freak show, ladies and gentlemen"

Everyone turned to him frowning then waited for Kagome to speak.

"Alright so it looks like we have some more time on the second of four installments guys so I say we meet again next month at my place to start on measurements and work in the second draft of the paper, Ok?"

They all mumbled 'sure' and left. Kagome left after say goodbye to the girls and went to the game to see the winning team

"Should we be scared Naraku" That was Kikyo behind him looking at the usual detention teens leave together.

"Of what Kikyo of a group that will fail and not graduate, no they are not my biggest concern at the moment" He said but didn't seem so confident about the outcome of this, the group, he didn't know if it would defeat them or not.

"Yes Kikyo stop being a pussy they won't last long together and we just have to keep the ball rolling like we have been doing Ok"

"Yeah I mean Sesshoumaru and Vegeta what are the odds that they are going to work well on this project" Bankotsu said laughing but stopped at Naraku's glare.

"You do remember that they were friends before right?" Naraku said as he looked at his friend. He couldn't believe he just said that really, who didn't know about Sesshoumaru and Vegeta's friendship before the 9th grade.

"Look I'm surprised they even put together a paper" Kagura said supporting her brother and Tsubaki.

"Don't worry guys if nothing else we have something entertaining to look forward to 5th period" Tsubaki said as they walked towards the gym.
