Hey ppl well here's the other chapter of A High School Story. Eh my muse is gone so I'm working on it as best I can ok. And to clarify the portrait of Sesshoumaru looked exactly as I described it in chapter 1. So with that done on with the story.

Sesshoumaru drove to school and saw Kagome walking alone on the street on the way to school. Curious he pulled over and drove along side her. Kagome looked up when she noticed a car following her and her face lit up when she saw it was Sesshoumaru. "Good Morning Sesshoumaru." She said simply. "Kagome why are you walking to school this early?" Sesshoumaru asked. "Well mom's car broke down yesterday and I normally come to school early except the past few days I had to drop Souta off at school. So to get to the school as early as I normally do I'm walking and letting mom borrow my car." Kagome explained. "I'll give you a ride to school no telling what kind of people are out here at this time." Sesshoumaru said. Kagome smiled and thanked him and got into the passengers seat when he pulled over.

On the way to school it was silent except for at a stop light when Sesshoumaru remembered something. "Kagome did you really paint that picture that's in the trophy case?" he asked. Startled Kagome jumped when his question disrupted the silence of the car. "Wha… Oh you mean the one I painted and used you to start it. Yea that was me. Sorry I was kinda inspiration less and I had a wonderful idea when I saw you. I'm sorry if you're offended by it." Kagome said. The only answer she was met with was silence.

Once they reached the school Kagome thanked him for the ride and walked to the art room. Once she was there she looked around for Mr. Chen and asked if she could paint here before school started. She was given a positive answer. She walked into the main art room pulled out a new canvas and water color paints and began painting what she saw in her minds eye. Slow deliberate strokes and Mr. Chen's traditional Asian instrumental music were the only things heard. Kagome was so concentrated on her painting that she didn't notice when Mr. Chen walked up behind her observing her painting. "This is magnificent work. Where did you learn to paint like that?" Mr. Chen asked. Kagome jumped up a little careful not to mark her painting in the process. She turned around and replied, "My mother is a painter so I took after her. I've been taking lessons since I was five."

He nodded and walked off allowing her to continue her painting. Once again she was startled by a voice permeating the quiet of the room. "The students are just about coming in. You better get to your locker if you don't want to be late." Someone said. For the second time that day Kagome jumped and looked behind her. There Sango stood observing her work. "Sango don't do that. That's the second time today someone has almost scared me to death." Kagome announced. "Sorry I couldn't help it you were so into your painting that I just had to interrupt. What is that anyway?" Sango asked.

So far painted upon the canvas was a sunset with a charcoal drawing of a young girl holding herself as she cried while something towered over her. "Oh it's nothing just something I decided to paint for no reason at all." Kagome said as she put the canvas in her hiding spot. "Come on we're going to be late." Kagome said as she dragged Sango out of the room leaving all discussion of the poor crying girl in the painting a faint memory.

"Alright class today we're going to head over to the auditorium to practice for the play. This is so you can get used to the environment and know where you're supposed to stand and such so take all your things." Mrs. Johnson said. The class gathered all their things and followed their teacher out of the room to the large auditorium the school had. Once there she instructed all her students to sit in the front rows. "Now we're going to start out at the beginning so will my chorus please come up?" Mrs. Johnson said. Takara, Suichi, and Yuka each walked up to the stage.

"Two households both alike in dignity,

In fair Verona where we lay our scene,

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes

A pair of star-cross'd lovers taker their life;

Whose misadventured piteous overthrows

Do with their death bury their parents' strife.

The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,

And the continuance of their parents' rage,

Which, but their children's end, nought could

Remove,

Is now the two hours' traffic of out stage;

The which if you with patient ears attend,

What here shall miss, out toil shall strive to

mend." After the trio was finished the entire class started to clap. "Wonderful that was great keep doing it that way and it will be perfect." Mrs. Johnson said.

During lunch Kagome walked to the art room again after explaining to her friends where she was going. Once she got there she was given permission by Mr. Chen to continue working more on her painting and that she would be allowed to everyday as long as she told him she was there. Kagome nodded and once again took out the water color paints and her canvas. She sat in front of the painting contemplating what to do next and immersed herself into the painting once again. Unknown to her the Sesshoumaru walked into the classroom and observed her as she had a look of utmost concentration on her face as she painted her picture. He was amazed or at least as amazed as someone like him would be when he saw her picture.

It featured a girl standing alone in a forest holding herself as a shadowed figure towered over her. The back drop started as a beautiful sunset that faded into black and gray the further it went down. The forest the girl stood in was dead and no leaves or grass touched the forlorn landscape. Tears ran down the girls face. Sesshoumaru tried to get a good look at the persons face but found that she had purposely did that so you would not be able to see the persons face. Sesshoumaru was surprised somewhat that a girl that seemed as happy go lucky as Kagome would paint such a mournful painting.

He sat behind her and watched as she painted and as she jumped when the bell signaling lunch was over rang. Kagome calmly put away her paints and washed out the brushes and finally put away her painting and brought out a painting she was doing for the class. Although this one was more bright and cheerful compared to the other one. When Kagome turned around she once again nearly jumped out of her own skin when she saw he was standing there. "Sesshoumaru how long were you sitting there?" Kagome asked. Sesshoumaru didn't say anything he just sat there and stared out of the window to his left. Kagome shrugged and went back to gathering her supplies for her painting.

After the bell rang signaling the end of the school day Kagome gathered her things and waited by her car for Sesshoumaru to come and get her. After about ten minutes she saw his silver white hair heading toward her. "Good afternoon Sesshoumaru." Kagome greeted. "Good afternoon Kagome. Today I have kendo class at a dojo out of town." Sesshoumaru said. "Oh really well then I'll just get my little brother and we'll follow you is that alright?" Kagome asked. Sesshoumaru nodded and Kagome got into her car and followed him to Souta's school. After Souta got in the car Kagome filled him in. "Sesshoumaru has a kendo class outside of town today and since I have to be by him for an hour everyday at least we're going to go with him. So here's our change in schedule once we get to the dojo we are going to do our homework wherever we can sit whether it is in the dojo where he trains our outside. Then once we're done we can watch if it's ok with his sensei and him alright?" Kagome asked. Souta nodded and looked ahead. "Oh and I almost forgot if your good I'll take you out to eat." Kagome said. Souta cheered and thanked his sister.

At the dojo Sesshoumaru informed his sensei that Kagome and Souta were here for a school project and asked his sensei if they could stay and watch. His sensei consented and the siblings sat in a corner with their books and began their homework.

Kagome was working on her science homework when she looked up to see that her brother wasn't even trying to do his homework. His attention was on the people practicing in the dojo. Curious as to what has captured her brother's attention she also looked at the students and was amazed. Sesshoumaru was standing in the circle fighting against everyone in the dojo. He dodged and attacked his opponents with speed and grace. To any bystander it would look more like a well practiced dance. Souta and Kagome each watched as he spared against the class until it was over. Once Sesshoumaru showered, changed, and came out again Souta ran up to him. "Wow you were so cool. You were like hiya and the other guy was like oh no! Then you were like haaa and the others guys were like ahh!" Souta went on until Kagome finished packing up their things and walked to the two. "Ok Souta that's enough Sesshoumaru just finished training let him breath." Kagome said. Souta nodded and ran around trying to imitate Sesshoumaru. "Well I guess we'll see you tomorrow unless you want to come with us to get some dinner." Kagome said. After Kagome finished that sentence Sesshoumaru's stomach growled.

"I thing your stomach answered for you. Just follow my car and we'll go eat is that alright?" Kagome asked. Sesshoumaru nodded and Kagome called Souta over and they all walked to their respective cars.

Ok here's the deal. My word possessor is locked up on me so I can't add anything to this story. I'm updating this at school. So I won't have anything else up until my word processor is fixed. Ok. Don't worry I haven't forgotten about this fic. I'll update asap.
