Meh really late new chapter...I'm really sorry for the wait and all. Any who I want to thank the people who took the time to review on my story and who just read it...I'm really thankful for that. Once again thank you and if you keep reading I'll keep doing my best. So enjoy!
----------------------------
Someone had once told her that crying gets you no where and that it just makes you look weak and god knows that this Inuyasha guy is the last person she would want to see her as weak. If that was the way he thought of her, then she would show him just how not weak Kagome Higurashi is.
"How dare he!" Her tears were long gone by now and instead of sitting on the floor sobbing she had gotten up and began pulling paper towels out from their dispensers. and soaking them in cold water.
"What kinda cold hearted jerk can he be?" She said, as she dabbed some soap onto one of the wet paper towals. "Its my first day of school for crying out loud." With a heave sigh she began aggressively scrubbing at her red stained shirt, the red stain shaped in the form of a hand.
Oh how she could still remember the look in his eyes when she slapped him, she remembered regretting ever hitting him in the first place and she apologized for it to, but he just couldn't take that now could he? He had to go and cover her with food...food from out of a garbage can! How disgusting!
She continued to scrub away at the marks until they were a light red, almost a pale pink rose color before giving up and moving on to her hair.
"My hair.." She wined. One of her hands reached up to the top of her head and pulled out a long soggy noodle and she glared at it in disgust. "Oh I will make him pay." It was not every day that little, sweet Kagome would go and make threats out of the blue, but this time she would not let it pass. She no long had any interest of getting to know this boy, even if he was oddly good looking.
She shook her head hard to rid herself of those thoughts, she would not think them, she couldn't think them. No, bad Kagome bad. He may look good on the outside but in the inside he probably is rotten...like rotten fruit. She thought.
She held her hands underneath the running water and poured the small amount over her head trying carefully not to get her shirt wet anymore then if already was. A frustrated growl escaped her throat as she watched drips of pinkish water slowly drip down her hair strands and in to the sink.
"This isn't working." She muttered as she brought her hands up to her face and covered it.
"You want some help?"
Kagome let out a yelp and spun around to face the intruder. She watched as a laughing Sango grabbed onto her stomack. When had she come in? She never heard the door open or her walk in.
Maybe she was thinking just a little bit to much.
"So you want some help getting all that...stuff out of your hair?" Sango asked as she walked over to the soggy wet girl.
Kagome nodded her head and let Sango dab some soap into her hand. "Some first day you have." Sango teased. "Must be hard." She put her hand under the faucet and rubbed them until soapy bubbles appeared in her hands.
It was nice having someone help her instead of having to do everything by herself. It made her feel warm inside, it just felt good. Slowly a small smile crept onto her face and she stared down at her hands cheerfully. It was really truly nice to have a friend.
Sango watched her as she continued to soap up her hands. She couldn't help but admire the younger girls beauty. Unlike most of the girls at this school Kagome had an Innocent aura around her. Her curly raven hair shined as the light hit it, her blue eyes sparked with something she had never seen in someone that was a grandparent or someone who lived long, it was like she knew so much more beyond her own age. This girl was something else, she had to admit that.
"You heard what happened?" The younger girl asked, breaking Sango out of her thoughts. "Put more water in your hair, please." Kagome quickly obeyed and filled her hands with cold water and squeezed it into her hair she then held her head over the sink and waited for Sango to massage the soap in to her scalp.
"I'm pretty sure every body has heard about now." She said. Kagome gasped and turned to look at her, splashed drops of water on to Sango. "Oh gosh." Kagome moaned.
Sango placed her hands into Kagomes wet raven colored hair and gently rubbed the soap in using a circler motion. "Yeah, news travels fast around her, more so when it involves Inuyasha." She answered. Sango moved Kagomes head under the running water and washed the soap from it, as it went it took pieces of noodles and sauce along with it, making the water red as it dropped down into the sink.
Kagome brought her head out and wiped some water from her face with a dry piece of tissue. "Why? Is he important or something?" She asked not believing that someone like him could be so loved by this school.
"Are you kidding?" Sango laughed. "Inuyasha is rich, good looking and has that bad boy image going for him." She counted all of this on her hand and looked at the younger girl like a teacher would look at a student. "Most of the girls at this school swoon over him." Kagome went to open her mouth and ask a question and Sango quickly held up her hand to stop her. "No, I'm am not one of those girls." She said loudly. Kagome simply nodded her head, knowing it was the honest truth.
"So he's like "Mr popular" here?" She used her hands to emphasize her point and earned herself a laugh from Sango. "I guess you can say that."
Sango reached in her shoulder bag and pulled out a small hand towel. "Here use this to dry your hair out." She said handing the small cloth over to the other girl who took it haply and started ringing out the water from her hair with it.
"So, whats your next class?" Sango asked.
Kagome wrapped the towel over her shoulder and reached into her skirt pocket and took out a piece of paper, Sango took it from her hand and scanned it with her eyes.
"Hmm you have math next." She smiled at her and handed the paper back to its owner. "Same as me." Kagome couldn't be happier, another class with Sango that was great!
"Come on, we gotta go or else we'll be late." Sango grabbed the other girl by the wrist and pulled her to the door and out.
Kagome continued to dry her hair and tried her hardest to ignore the whispers and giggles that were all around her. "Hey look! It's that girl who slapped Inuyasha." She heard someone yell. "Did you hear what he did to her?" Came another whisper.
"Just ignore them." She looked up at Sango go. She was looking away from her and continued pulling her down the hall, she picked up her speed though and was trying to get herself and Kagome out of the halls. "I'll try." Kagome muttered and stared at the floor and they walked down the halls. She closed her eyes and tried to block out the cruel comments and whispers from her ears, but it didn't work, she could here the words loud and clear. It hurt their words hurt deep inside of her. She choked back a sob. Ignore it, don't cry it gets you no where, you know that. She thought. Sucking in a shaky breath she blinked back her tears and followed after Sango.
Some one bumped her hard and she stumbled forward. "Oops, My bad." A boy with wavy jet black hair said from behind his hands that was brought up to hide the hurtful smirk behind it. Kagome looked down at her feet bashfully. She was going to just let it go because was there really something she could do about it?
Sangos must have thought there was because she gently pushed Kagome behind her and stepped up to the boy. "Who do you think you are?" She glared at the boy as she poked his chest with her finger. "We all know you meant to do that." She gave one last hard poke and he brought a hand up and rubbed the spot.
"What? You her friend or something?" He through his head back and laughed. "So that loser has a friend?" Sango narrowed her eyes and fisted her hands in anger.
"Really I would have thought you had better taste in friends, but then again you didn't have any friends until she came." He jabbed his finger in Kagomes direction. "Now did you Sango?"
Before he knew it Sango grabbed him by the collar with two hands and slammed him against the nearest locker. "Naraku, shut your damn mouth." She hissed. "Don't you dare talk about me, or Kagome like you know us because you know nothing." She slammed him back into the lockers again. "You got that?" Narakus large pale hand wrapped around her wrist and he smirked at her. "Take your hands off of me Sango." He said as he pushed her away from him.
Sango stumbled back some but continued to glare daggers at the pale black haired boy in front of her. "You're a damn bastard Naraku." She insulted him as she quickly grabbed Kagome and attempted to storm away with her.
"Sango!" Naraku called, stopping her in her tracks. Both her and Kagome turned away to look at him.
He was smirking at them calmly. "I'll see you next period." He said to her before switching his gaze to Kagome. Instantly he made a sound in the back of his throat and looked her body up and down. His eyes clouded with lust as he stared at her and it sent shivers down her spine. He was look at her as if she were a piece of meat and he was a starving man. The look scared her.
His red eyes caught hers and they only clouded with even more of a lusty look. "You Kagome I'll be seeing you around." He looked her up one last time before turning around and slowly walked down the hall before them.
Her knees felt weak as if she were going to crumble to the floor and she let out the breath she didn't even know she was holding. Wait did he just say he'll see Sango in their next class? She quickly spun around and looked at Sango in horror. "Sango.." She whispered.
Sango put a hand on her shoulder and smiled at her. "Don't worry about him okay." She then grabbed her hand and pulled down the same hall that Naraku took. "You'll be fine." She said.
"Any how me and Kouga will protect you." She looked back at Kagome with a beaming smile on her face.
So Kouga was in her next class as well? That made her feel a lot better knowing that he was there and that he would help keep this Naraku guy away from her. She shivered at the thought of the strange boy, that look in his eyes was so intense and she felt like he was undressing her with his eyes.
She was so distracted by her thoughts that she couldn't hear the laughter and rude remarks about her. Sango stop and stood in front of a class room door. "Okay, this is our math class." She pointed stright at the door and Kagome stared at her. "I know.." Sango pushed open the door and stepped in. Kagome sucked some air and stepped in after her.
Here goes.
-------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha sat in the small storage room by himself. This room was his secret hide out and the only person other then him that knew that it was used was Miroku. Inuyasha was the only one who had the key to this room. Back when he was in his first year he had stole it and kept it with him at all time. Some time the school stopped looking for it and just left it alone. So pretty much this room was his.
He sat on the floor with a dim light on, not that it made a different,with his hanyou eye sight she could see much better then any human. His long silver hair grazed the floor as he leaned over and placed his elbow on one of his knees.
Damn it he felt guilty for doing that to her. No! she hit him, she deserved what she got. He was not going to sit her and feel bad about something like that. Its not like he could go back in time and stop himself from doing it anyways.
Who was he kidding he may not like her but still he should have just let it go but no! He just had to go and get revenge.
He plucked at the end of one of his hair strands. "God what is wrong with me?" He let the hair go and it fell perfectly back in place with the rest of his hair.
Why did he feel so empty, so away from the world? Inside he knew he wasn't happy. If it weren't for his mother and Miroku he probably would have done something really stupid a long time ago.
Then Kikyo came into his life and he thought he had found happiness with her. But then she left him. And didn't even tell him why! She just up and left him in the dust.
He loved her, how could she do that to him? Why?
He dropped his head to rest on his upraised knee and let out a sigh. "Kikyo, where are you now?" He whispered.
She left him, she broke up with him and left town and he hand no idea where she was anymore. That was two months ago but he just couldn't get her out of his head.
Then this Kagome chick shows up and messes everything up. If she never dropped into his life maybe he would have gotten over Kikyo easier.
But now he was taking out his anger for Kikyo on Kagome. She didn't deserve the treatment he was giving her and he knew that she didn't. So tell me, why hurt an innocent girl who probably has no idea about the whole relationship.
There was a loud ringing sound signaling that class had started. He made no move as to leave. He used this room sometimes to skip class and today was one of those days where you felt like skipping class. It was just English anyways.
"I have to spend a hour after school with that girl." He said. "She will most likely be all bitchy and shit." He could just image the glares he would receive from her as they sat in the class room.
He was looking forward to it.
He tapped his finger against his thigh. "Maybe I should say sorry." He thought it over until he shook the thought from his head. "She probably wont even listen to it." About now his class was probably working on vocabulary he chuckled at the thought.
He has been told all his life that he was smart when it came to schooling, he could do the math like he could cook Raman and history was a snitch and everything else was pretty easy for him. He even once had to tutor a young girl in math.
That didn't work well. Only because instead of paying attention to the lesson she would make moves at him and suddenly one day he found himself making out with her, it was then that he decided that he wasn't helping her, and he dropped tutoring altogether.
Now he didn't help anyone when they needed the help...well he does help Miroku when he needs it, but hey the guys his best friend.
Maybe he should ask Kagome if she needs any help in her classes. He once again let out a sigh. She probably would get crept out. But then maybe she wouldn't freak out on him, maybe she did need help with something.
It was perfect! He would be making it all up to her. But don't get him wrong, he still didn't like her all that much.
He just had to talk to Miroku about this.
-----------------------------------------------------
His eyes were all over her, and it was making her feel dirty. Every once in a while he would make a sound in the back of his throat that sounded like her name.
She could feel his eyes burning into her like a ray of heat. She would rather have Inuyashas golden eyes glaring at her then have this guy undressing her in his mind any day.
Her hands tightened around her pencil, and she held back a whimper that wanted out.
Kouga, who was the closest thing that was keeping her out of Narakus sight heard the small sound and turned to look at her.
She sat hunched over her desk, strands of black hair pooled over her shoulders and she was glaring at her pencil with a pink blush on her cheeks.
Kouga reached over and placed his hand over hers. She looked up at him, alarmed. A smile stretched crossed his face and it made her feel good inside. She didn't exactly feel utterly safe, but she felt taken care of.
"You alright?" He asked softly.
She smiled at him and nodded her head in response. The two teens shared smiles before going back to work.
They missed the dark look that crossed a certain dark hair boy.
-------------------------------
Her classes went by fast, her last periods were math and art, which she found calming and nice. Thankfully she hadn't seen Inuyasha anywhere after lunch.
She meant anywhere. Not in and classes, in the hall, anywhere. She wondered if maybe he skipped school and just went home. If he did that was great for her.
She pulled on her green plaid skirt trying to get it to go down more, but every time she pulled it down just a little bit of movement would make it rise up her legs again. God do they have to make these things so short?
She let out a sigh and let her skirt fall where ever it wanted to fall. Stupid uniform, stupid school, stupid everything.
"If Inuyasha doesn't come to detention I'm going to be so happy." She exclaimed as she made her way down the hallways alone.
Kouga should be waiting for her somewhere, he told her that if she kept walking she would come to him one way or another. It was a silly idea, but what else could she do she was new in the school and didn't know where anything was.
As she walked she noticed some of the kids in the halls, they weren't laughing or pointing at her, they just took a glance or two at her and went on.
They act like this when their by them self, they only laugh at me when their surrounded by people. She knew thats how school worked, if you do something wrong your friends might shun you. Thats the way teenagers think.
"Hey, Kagome." Kouga ran up to her when she came into sight.
"Hello Kouga." She said. He grabbed her by the hand and pulled her down the hallway. "Come on we gotta go, if we don't hurry we'll be late."
"Okay." She followed him. Everyones dragging me around today. She thought.
"Dog breath disappeared again." Kouga said out of the blue. She looked up at him and seeing the look on her face he continued.
"He does that sometimes, the only person that knows where he goes is Miroku."
"Miroku?" She asked. He looked down at her and then slapped himself on the four head. "Oh I forgot." He muttered.
"Miroku is Inuyasha best friend or something like that, he was that guy in history this morning, remember?" She nodded her head making her black hair bob and some of it to fall over her shoulder.
"Inuyasha likes to skip classes." Kouga said as he stopped them both and stood in front of her. "But he'll be in here." He said pointing a finger at a door, above it a sign read 'Library'.
Why would he be in a library? He didn't seem to be the type to read.
"Come on lets go." Kouga pushed open the door and tugged her in after him. "This is detention, welcome." He bowed and she let out a giggle. "Thank you." She mocked him and curtsied.
"Ahhahm." Kaede cleared her throat to gain the two peoples attention. Inuyasha who sat in a corner by a book case snorted at them in disgust.
"Please you two take a set." Kagome went to grab the chair nearest the window and Kouga went to follow her. "A set apart." The older women said pointing to the middle of the room. She looked at Kouga and made another jab in the direction. "Go sit Kouga." The said boy cursed but swerved past Kagome and sat in a chair smack dab in the middle of the room.
Kaede stood in front of a thick desk covered in books, she took out a timer from her suit pocket and punched in a few numbers. She then placed it on one of the books. "When this timer goes off, your time is over and ye may go home, till then ye mustn't make a sound." With that she turned and left, closing the door behind her.
The three teens were quiet, Kagome was trying to do her math homework, Kouga was drawing and Inuyasha was reading a book...a long book.
Kouga looked over at Inuyasha and laughed. "Wow Inuyasha! Didn't know you can do that." He said, breaking the silents.
Kagome continued to work on her math homework trying her best to ignore the two boys.
"Why? You jealous because you can't do it?" Inuyasha pointed out as he sat his book down.
Kouga bared his fangs at him and growled. "Shut your face mutt."
"I'm not a mutt, flea bag!" Inuyasha yelled as he shot up from his chair and let out a growl of his own. "You wanna go?" He cracked his knuckles and flexed his claws as if to intimidate Kouga.
Kouga smirked at him. "Bring it dog boy." He readied him self for the attack, waiting for Inuyasha to act without thinking. But that didn't seem to happen.
Because the moment he challenged Inuyasha, a frustrated Kagome slammed her pencil against her desk and stood.
"Cant you two act your age?" She yelled at them. The two boys looked at each other and glared in disgust. "Oh stop that, god you two act like 7 year old."
"Kagome.." Kouga started but Kagome raised a hand to silents him. "Please just sit down."
Inuyasha watch as she calmed the wolf down, he watched as she herself sat down and re tempted to do her math homework.
"I don't get this." He heard her whisper.
She's doing math...and she's saying she can't do it...math was his best subject! His stomack fluttered, his plan might just work.
But he wont make his move just yet.
"Stop staring at her like that." His golden eyes stared at Kouga who was glaring at him. He had said that so low that if he were a human or any other kind of demon he might have just missed it.
He ignored him and continued to stare at the back of her head.
Kouga dug his nails into his flesh and narrowed his eyes.
When Inuyasha continued to ignore him he leaped across the tables and grabbed Inuyasha by his collar.
"Haven't you caused her enough problems?" He said giving the silver haired boy a rough shake. "What the hell are you planning?" Inuyasha rolled his eyes and let out a loud chuckle. The flea bag was already overly protective of the bitch. He couldn't help but laugh at that. "Even if I were planning something, you would be the last person to know about it."
Kouga brought back and open palm and slammed it a crossed his abused cheek. Inuyasha grabbed his cheek and cradled it in his hand. "Damn it." He muttered. He was pretty sure that even though he was a half demon that some kinda bruise was going to form there. He had been hit twice by a full demon, and once by the new girl all on the same cheek, he had to admit that it was starting to ache, just a bit.
Kagomes pencil fell from her hand as she sprung up from her set. "Stop it!" She yelled. "Please." She stumbled away from the table and made her way over to the two boys.
"Kouga please let him go." She begged, putting her hands on Kougas wrists. Both boys looked down at her questionably.
The door swung open the same second Kouga was going to release Inuyasha. In result Kaede was now looking at what looked like Kouga trying to strangle Inuyasha, while Kagome looked like she was helping Kouga with the strangling.
All in all it just didn't look good.
"I leave for how long and you're at each others throats." She glanced at the two pairs of hands close to Inuyashas neck. "Literally." Kagome backed away and accidently hide a table with her hip. Kouga saw and quickly let go of Inuyashas collar, he reached over and placed his hand on her hip to make sure it was alright.
Kagome let of a shrike of surprise. "Ahh!" She looked down at the hand. Why was his hand there? Her left eye brow ticked.
"Don't touch me like that!" She screamed. She slapped his hand away from her.
"Kagome!" The said girl turned to look at Keade, who had called out her name. "The three of you just earned yourself 3 more days added to your original days of detention." The three teens groaned. "Go home now children, go home." The timer went off and she quickly turned it off and pocketed it.
After Keade left the three other people left as well, all were quiet and no one made a sound.
---------------------------------------
Kagome said goodbye to Kouga before running off to fetch her bike from the bike rack. The sun was setting, turning the sky a fluffy peach color mixed with gold, purple and pink. The air was no longer hot, but more of a cool wind was blowing.
Her feet make crunchy sounds as they walked over the dry dirt grovel. "Oh yes this day is finally over." She raised her arms in the air and stretched out her mussels. Satisfied by the cracking sounds she heard she brought them down and crossed the over her chest.
Her bike was broken so she wound have to walk it home instead of riding it. And no one was around to give her a ride home, and she had no phone to call her mom with.
She walked over to the bike rack and was about to grab it when someone from behind her pinned her against the brick wall.
"Listen here, and listen good." Someone whispered into the shell of her ear. "You my dear are one tempting little tease." The person laughed and then nibbled at her earlobe. She felt tears form behind her eyelids and a soft whimper escaped from her lips.
Wisps of wavy long black hair brushed against her cheeks and then she knew who this person was, her heart was beating so fast she could feel it against her rib cage.
No one was here. No one was going to help her.
"Naraku." Someone yelled. Naraku turned around and let the frightened girl slump to the ground. She had also turned around to look at the person who probably just saved her from being raped.
"Naraku you're such a bastard." Naraku laughed. "Really Inuyasha, you of all people shouldn't talk about being a bastard." Inuyasha ignored him and stared straight at Kagome.
His golden eyes hardened when he placed them back on Naraku. "Why don't you leave?" His voice was low and husky, it sent shivers down Kagomes spine.
"I might as well, you did after all ruin the mood." With that turned and walked down the grovel path, leaving the shaken girl on the ground.
Inuyasha let out a sigh of relief. "Hey, you alright?" He asked, bending at the knees to squat down in front of her. She shyly nodded her head and stood up with the of Inuyasha.
"So you're going to be alright?" Once again she nodded and he smiled at her. "Key, c-ya." With that he spun around and ran off.
What a jerk! He didn't even offer to walk her home or anything...but then again...he just saved her. Maybe he wasn't all that bad.
"Thank you." She whispered.
The wind carried her words, but the message did not reach his ears.
