Chapter 2-Soccer and Detention

Coach Sakurane walked onto the field, already starting to be covered in snow, and through a bunch of soccer balls at us.

"Today we will be tackling football, or as the Americans call it, soccer. Why they don't just call it football like the rest of the world, I'll never know. Now, get into teams. Dartina, Kilicia, Akane, Ayame, Okina, Hartania, Martocia, Jano, and Brigid on the left side and Kikyo, Rin, Yuka, Eri, Kaede, Ayumi, Mari, Sango, and…new girl on the right side. Everyone pick a position! Scrimmage!"

Then she blew that infernal whistle of hers, starting the game. The game started with Kikyo running the ball and keeping as far away from Rin and Sango as possible. I was just a defender, so little old Kagome was unnoticed, until Ayame, I think, kicked the ball all the way back to me and Rin, Sango, and Kikyo ran to get the ball from me. Oh crap! Well, after Okina got the penalty kick for kicking my ass, Sango and Yuka were right near Kikyo and I. Rin was too far back, though. As we were waiting for Coach to go through her handbook trying to figure out how exactly a penalty kick was supposed to be made, Yuka was dying to know what Sango did over the weekend.

"Promise you won't tell anyone?" Sango asked

Yuka nodded.

"I was with Sesshomaru Taisho."

If I heard it, which I did, then Kikyo did, too. That's why she kicked it out of bounds as soon as Okina put it back into play. Then Kikyo kicked the ball so hard it hit Sango right in the head.

As Sango got up and pronounced she was alright, Kikyo sneered, "Accident."

Of course, when it happened a second time, she knew it was no accident. Sango and Kikyo started to roll around, scratching and punching the crap out of each other.

What happened next made things so much worse. Rin walked over and tried to break them up about a foot away from me, but when she figured out what they were fighting over, she joined in. Well, they got too close to me and I ended up on the bottom of the cat pile with Coach right next to me, getting her ass kick by soccer balls. On a quick decision, I blew the infernal whistle around her neck stopping everything.

Coach got up and yelled, pointing at each of us, "Detention today in the library! Hit the showers!"

Avoiding the other girls all day, because I was sure they didn't even know my name, was as easy as pie. I called my mom on my cell and told her about staying after school. She, being an eternal teen of the night, was more than okay with it. In fact, she was starting to wonder if I had too many of Dad's genes.

So I arrive in the library, right? Well, you won't believe this! I sit down and behind me is a guy with black hair singing the lyrics to my favorite song. Staring at him, weirdly, I set my books down. It took a few seconds, but he finally noticed me.

"Oh, Jesus!" he shoved the head phones away and fell out of his chair.

I noticed his gorgeous violet eyes and said, "That's okay. I can't really hum Oceano either."

"You listen to Josh Groban?" he stared at me in surprise.

"I should be asking you the same thing. Most of his followers aren't male." I looked behind him and noticed a head of silver hair and let out a, "Yuck."

He noticed where I was looking and his eyes widened, "That's not the usual response, he gets, you know. It usually goes along the lines of 'ahhhhh!' or 'oh God, I think I've just come!'."

I rolled my eyes, "Well, jerk isn't really my type and neither is stone, but how would you know the female reaction to that walking statue?"

"He's my brother. Well, half brother. My name's Inuyasha, the other Taisho. So what are you doing here, miss….?"

"Kagome, Kagome Higurashi. Again, I could ask you the same thing. This is where detention is right?" I asked looking around.

"You show up early for detention? You are definitely different, Kagome." He gave her the most irksome smirk she'd had ever seen.

He was going to say something else, but then Kikyo, Rin, and Sango walked in followed by Mr. Flee. So instead, he just said bye before walking out of the room.

Each of us sat at a different round table and after Mr. Flee left, Kikyo smirked, "You know, I feel bad for you two. I told Sesshomaru-sama all about this and he said that it was just you being—''

"jealous of what we have and that they're—''Sango cut in but was interrupted by Rin.

"delusional to think that I care more about anyone as I do you!" Then they started screaming and yelling at each other, calling each other ludicrous names.

Finally, I had had enough. "You guys are fighting over nothing!"

They all shut up and stared at me, so I continued.

"He's cheating on all of you and you're fighting with each other. Don't you see how ridiculous that is?"

"Well, what do you know?" Kikyo hissed at me.

"You know how he calls you Baby and Sweetheart? Yeah, that's not because it's cute. It's so he won't mix up your names. And you know how he tells you that you can't tell anyone you're seeing each other? That's not because his parents will flip, that's because he doesn't want this to happen. Don't you see that he's a stone cold jerk?"

"You don't know Sesshomaru! He's irresistible! He's-''

"No, she totally right," Sango interjected. "We should be working together to bring him down, not the other way around."

"What?!" Kikyo and Rin shrieked.

"Think about it. I mean, we all hate each other beyond compare, correct?" Sango asked.

"Right….."

"And we've all fallen helplessly head over heels for him like all of the other possible victims, right?" she continued.

Again with the dragged out replies, "Right….."

"So, we'll crush him like the bug he is. We'll have to pull our resources, though. You, new girl…..what's your name again?"

"Oh, my name is-''

The teacher supervisor for detention cut in, "Detention begins now! NO TALKING!!!"

So, I tried whispering, "My name is-''

"I said no talking!!!!!!"

I wanted so bad to rip his toupee off his shiny head and stuff it in his mouth, or his pants. Either or would most likely get him to put his two chapped lips together for at least five minutes, if you get my meaning.

A pink piece of paper flew onto my desk,

NG,

Meet in the Photography Club room after detention. I have an idea.

Signed,

Kikyo
