A/N: Edited the part with Naraku and changed it to Onigumo. Eh… couldn't think of anyone else. They're just… different, unrelated people in this fic, okay? XD
And I changed a few other things, but not so much that you'd have to read it again.
Brief: Kagome sees Kouga again (Uh-oh Oreo's:o); Physical education class, mainly based on the girls' competition, not really guys'. I can't do sword fighting scenes, I guess :P
Disclaimer: If I owned Inuyasha, I wouldn't be eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch. Although they are good… ;
Chapter 5: First Day
(Some parts rewritten)
Kagome had just gone through four classes, and she was already exhausted. The last class she had been in was with Miroku, so they both walked to the lunch room together.
"So, how was your first day in this hell hole so far?" Miroku asked.
"Great, just great," Kagome answered, obviously being sarcastic; Miroku just didn't seem to understand that, though…
"Are you serious? You think school is GREAT?" Miroku exclaimed with wide eyes.
Kagome sighed, exasperated. "No, Miroku. I was scaring a cat with a stick."
"What?" Miroku asked, puzzled.
"GAH! I WAS BEING SARCASTIC, OKAY!" Kagome yelled to his face.
Miroku put on a serious face. "Well, you could have just told me that…"
At that statement, Kagome just gave up, shut her mouth, and let out an exasperated sigh. Just then, they reached the lunch room. Miroku led Kagome to the line to get some food, and then they went outside with their trays.
"Hey, Miroku." Kagome said.
"Yeah?"
"Why are we outside?"
"Oh, every day me, Sango, and Inuyasha eat outside under this big tree; it's called the Goshinboku. It's really nice outside and the tree makes us calm somehow," Miroku explained.
"Oh, okay."
Kagome spotted Inuyasha and Sango under a big tree, and headed that way with Miroku. "Hey 'Yash, Sango!" Kagome chirped.
"Hey," Both Inuyasha and Sango said.
Inuyasha was eating some Ramen noodles, Sango held some pepperoni pizza, Miroku had a cheeseburger and Kagome had some ODEN! Mm, mm good.
Kagome watched as Inuyasha inhaled his ramen, and couldn't help but laugh. At this, Inuyasha raised his head in question. "What are you laughing at?"
"You." Kagome smiled.
"What? Why?"
"Well you could CHEW your noodles sometime, you know. Even I can control myself while eating oden," Kagome said playfully.
Inuyasha just replied by sticking his tongue out at Kagome and going back to his ramen. Kagome just shrugged and started taking her chop sticks and eating her oden.
Everyone was quiet for a while, not knowing what to say to each other.
Kagome apparently decided to break the silence. "Snap, Crackle, Pop, Rice Krispies!"
Everyone turned their heads to Kagome, each one raising their left or right eyebrow.
"…Well THAT was random…" Sango said, a bit slowly.
"Keh. She does that all the time," Inuyasha told Sango, "always saying random things…"
And they once again fell into silence, only hearing the slurping of Kagome and her oden.
Suddenly, a male student ran up in front of Kagome. He was quite attractive; his long black hair was up in a high ponytail, bangs hanging in front of his face making his icy blue eyes seem brighter. He was wearing a brown shirt and blue jeans one size too big. He was wearing brown Timberlands, and if you looked in the back, you could see a long brown tail; that showed that he was a wolf youkai.
As Kagome caught sight of him, she held onto Inuyasha's arm. 'What is Kouga doing here…?' she thought a bit fearfully.
Inuyasha also saw him, and wondered why the HELL Kouga was here. Especially after he cheated on Kagome and broke her heart! Inuyasha was getting angrier by the second and wanted nothing more than to sock that wimpy wolf right then and now.
Kouga went up the Kagome and took hold of one hand. Kagome immediately retracted it, not wanting him to even touch her after what happened.
"Kagome, I just wanted to say I'm so, so sorry and—!" Inuyasha then interrupted Kouga.
"You have no right to say SORRY to Kagome after you CHEATED on her!" Inuyasha exclaimed angrily, "Where's that little ookami bitch now, huh?"
"I broke up with her," Kouga said, "I realized I made a mistake and I want you back, Kagome!"
Throughout the conversation, Kagome sat quiet and contemplated on what to do. When Kouga finally made a statement to her, she stood.
"Well you know what, Kouga? I don't WANT you back! You cheated on me with Ayame and that's that." Kagome said furiously, then raising her hand to slap him.
Kouga waited for the impact, and boy did he get it. He was so surprised that she actually hit him; he kept his face turned sideways at the force of her slap. He shook away his astonishment and answered.
"Well, I WILL get you back, Kagome… Just you wait." Kouga then left, but not before glaring Inuyasha's way.
As soon as Kouga was out of sight and ear shot, Kagome slumped to the ground and buried her face in her hands. Inuyasha could smell Kagome's salty teardrops, and his ears drooped. He did NOT like seeing Kagome cry…
Kagome started to shake with her sobs, and Inuyasha took that time to pull her into a hug, trying to comfort her. "It's alright, Kagome…" Inuyasha said, desperately wanting her to stop crying. It broke his heart. Her sobs slowly stopped, and once it stopped she returned Inuyasha's embrace.
"Why did he come here…?" Kagome asked, still sad. "Why did he have to show his face to me again? I can't stand it…"
Inuyasha just replied by pulling her more into his embrace, hugging her tighter. Sango and Miroku were still a bit confused at why Kagome was crying over that 'Kouga' they heard.
Reluctantly, Inuyasha let go of Kagome, knowing his friends wanted an explanation of this, at least.
It was quiet for a while, until Sango broke the silence to ask a question, although she hesitated a bit. "Uh… So, who was that Kouga guy?"
Kagome sniffed. "He's my ex-boyfriend…"
"Oh? What happened?" Miroku asked.
"It was after school, and I went to this cherry blossom tree to meet Kouga," Kagome sniffed a bit. "and I found him making out with this other wolf youkai, her name was Ayame…"
"Oh, Kagome! I'm so sorry I asked that!" Sango cried out softly, panicking.
"It's alright, Sango… you don't have to be so panicky." Kagome giggled and wiped her eyes to dry her tears.
The bell then rang and they went to their classes. In the next class, Kagome had it with Inuyasha so they walked together through the hallways.
After a bit of comforting silence, Inuyasha asked Kagome if she really was okay.
"Yeah, don't worry so much Inuyasha." Kagome replied, smiling as if it would convince him more.
Inuyasha hesitated, wondering if he should believe her. "Alright, if you say so, Kagome…"
Kagome just smiled and continued walking to their physical education class with Inuyasha. When they got there, the boys and girls walked into the locker room to change into their uniforms.
The boy's uniform consisted of a blue t-shirt with the school name initials in white, 'SNTHS' standing for 'Shikon no Tama High School' and the school mascot, the tiger. They also wore black shorts. Blue, white, and black were their school colors.
The girls uniform was a tight blue form-fitting shirt with the school initials and tiger, and black shorts. The boys' and girls' uniform was basically the same. 'Nice school colors,' Kagome thought.
Kagome liked the physical education class, but unfortunately Kikyou was in this class. Of course, she made herself look sluttish in the uniform. She wore a shirt and shorts two sizes to small; making the shirt go above her belly button and the shorts were now short short shorts. Kagome scowled in disgust at the sight of Kikyou in her sight.
While Kagome was doing her warm-up stretching, she felt as if she was being watched. She turned around and caught sight of a tall boy who had just turned his face away with long wavy black tied up in a high ponytail. It was his eyes, though; it was his eyes that Kagome was drawn to. They were a frightening blood red; Kagome shuddered at how cold they looked. She shook it off and turned around to continue her warm-up.
"Okay ladies! Run around the field twice!" Ms. Shinigawa, the girls' teacher, yelled after their warm-up stretch. Almost the whole class groaned at the thought of having to run the field again.
While the girls were running, Mr. Namada, the boys' teacher, made the guys do push ups and sit ups until they were sore all over. The boys also groaned, cursing the girls for being so lucky; they only had to run the field twice.
After doing warm-ups (more like TORTURE) they started their sports for the trimester.
The boys were doing sword fighting. Inuyasha REALLY loved this sport; it was his favorite and he did it all the time anyway.
The girls this trimester had archery, Kagome found out. She silently cheered, she loved archery! She was really good at it too.
"Okay girls, grab a bow according to your level and you'll all be shooting targets. After, there will be a competition in this class…" Ms. Shinigawa explained.
Kagome grabbed the intermediate bow and was surprised that Kikyou did too. "Now, shoot!" yelled Ms. Shinigawa.
Kagome concentrated on the center and let her arrow fly. Her arrow landed dead center. She glanced over at Kikyou's side and her eyes widened; she got the center too! Kagome would have never thought KIKYOU of all people would be so good at archery…
"Excellent job, Kagome!" Ms. Shinigawa chirped.
"Hey! What about ME? I got the center too!" Kikyou whined and pouted. Kagome noticed and thought 'Pouting is REALLY not her…'
"Uh, yeah. Kikyou, you did good too," Ms. Shinigawa said, more dully.
Kikyou glared at Kagome, slightly jealous that she got a better comment from the teacher. 'I WILL do better than her on the competition… if she even gets in it,' Kikyou smirked.
"Now! The competition! All of you will shoot, and each time I will eliminate a few people depending on their arrows on the target. Shooting number one, GO!" The students all readied their bows and shot until there were two more competitors.
The boys
"Now boys! I will pick you a partner, and you will spar them with your swords!" Mr. Namada read down the list of partners, and then he got to the last one; "Onigumo and Inuyasha!"
'Great, I got that creepy freak.' Inuyasha thought, scowling.
Onigumo and Inuyasha sparred fiercely with their swords, both not wanting to lose. In the end, Inuyasha knocked Onigumo's sword out of his hand and then grinned. Onigumo just scowled when he found out he lost, his eerie dark brown, almost black, eyes glossing over.
The girls' competition
There were two more competitors; Kikyou and Kagome. Kikyou glared severely at Kagome, determined to win this competition; it could ruin her reputation if she lost to the new girl! The air was tense, and everybody was quiet.
Kikyou was to shoot her arrow first. She put all her concentration into the dead center of the target, and released her arrow. Everybody held their breath, waiting to find out where it landed. Kikyou's arrow landed barely landed in the center; it was on the very rim, but still counted as a bullseye. Kikyou's friends (or more like slaves) applauded her on a good job.
Kikyou smirked at Kagome, as if saying 'Beat that, loser'.
Kagome was more than determined now to win this competition. A fire burned in her eyes and she readied her bow to fire the arrow. She used all her concentration, and mentally crossed her fingers and toes. She then shot the arrow. People gasped. The winner is…
Kagome! She shot dead center. There were no arguments on who won. Kikyou's mouth lay agape; 'How could SHE win and not me!' Kikyou asked herself, angry.
"You BITCH! You must have cheated or something there was NO way that you could ha—!" Kikyou was interrupted by Ms. Shinigawa.
"She did exactly the same as you, Kikyou. Stop complaining, she won. Also; no profanity, Hiromi!"
Kikyou just answered by glaring at the teacher. Meanwhile, Kagome was just tuning out of the conversation, then smiling.
'This is going to be a REALLY fun senior year.' Kagome smirked.
How was it:) A couple more reviews would be nice. Please:) It will encourage me to write a bit more… ;o
Next Chapter: Reminisce Pt. 1
Note; 'ookami' means 'wolf' in Japanese. I'm not sure if I spelled it right, because for some reason it doesn't look right. But oh well.
Thank you for supporting my story and reading it:))
