Authors Notes: Children of the Corn is a movie that I never watch, nor do I intend on watching. From what I heard though, it is a scary movie about little kids and corn. My ninth grade English teacher use to insult our class by saying, "Now settle down children of the corn," most likely linking the title of the movie to our misbehavior. I thought it was funny, so that's why I added it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters that rightfully belong to, low and behold, the great Rumiko Takahashi. She's got some mad skills yo.

Chapter 3
"Why, hello there pretty lady."
SMACK.
"Pervert!"
A disgruntled young boy rubbed the spot on his cheek where he was slapped. He just smiled and carried on like it was nothing, not noting the fact that he just violated the school secretary by groping her butt.
Unfortunately for Kagome, she witnessed this small scene and turned a bright shade of pink.
The principal strolled in right after, not witnessing to the fact of what the boy just did. Instead, she just grinned at his presence, and at Kagome's too. Focusing her entire concentration on the boy, Kagome was left standing in her spot staring awkwardly at the two of them.
"Why, Miroku Priest! It's good of you to drop by. What can I do for you today?"
Miroku smirked and handed Mrs. Kaede his yellow discrepancy slip. She frowned at this, but then turned that frown upside down and laughed as if something amused her.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Clowning around in class again I see? That's a detention right after school young man. Your acts yet cease to amaze me."
He didn't care, this always happened to him. In fact, he was considered one of those jock types that always broke the rules in order to boost their egos. It was just expected of him.
"Love you too Kaede," he retorted sarcastically, yet it sounded so sincere.
"Yeah yeah yeah. Just report to room 1 right after classes are all over. Mr. Naraku should be there waiting for you."
Miroku nodded and walked back to class, all the while checking Kagome out from head to toe. And spoke flirtatiously to her.
"Cya later baby."
And continued along his way.
Meanwhile, Kagome stood stunned, afraid of what to expect next. To punch the perverted boy that stalked Sango all of the time, or to shoot him with a gun? Either would do, she didn't care.
Kaede finally realized that there was someone else in the room and spoke genuinely to Kagome as if she were a long lost relative.
"Aye child, what you brings you here today?"
Confused, Kagome just shrugged her shoulders.
"Supposedly I was needed?"
Kaede pondered thoughtfully for a few moments before it finally clicked in her head.
"Ah, yes now I remember. Are you aware of the new student in this school? He goes by the name of 'Inuyasha'. Quite a handsome young man, polite too."
Kagome snorted. Inuyasha, handsome and polite? Please.
"Sure, he sits right behind me in homeroom. What about him?"
"Well, I was wondering if you could show him around the school. Make him feel comfortable, have him meet new people."
Kagome didn't really want to do it, even if it killed her. Besides, ever since that night he rudely bumped into her (while throwing some insults like it was nothing), she didn't want to associate herself with him at all. Who wanted to be around someone like that?
However, deep down, she could never refuse a proposal from someone as kind as Mrs. Kaede. She was like her mentor, plus grandmother she never had. She knew that this would mean a lot to her, and therefore would accept it no problem.
She still didn't like him though.
"Sure thing Mrs. Kaede, I'll get right on it."
"Thank ye child. Now go along back to class."
Kagome went back to class, a bit disgruntled at the fact that she had to show an obnoxious guy around her school. Better yet, she also had to make up that paper for Naraku. He was a bit scary.
Lost in her thoughts, she was surprised when she bumped into someone she unexpected and was sent on to the ground. Her purse flew somewhere out of her reach with all of its insides scattered everywhere. She looked up and there he was. That guy.
"Pardon me... Kagome was it?" Inuyasha said nicely.
"Yeah, that's right..."
He helped her up to her feet and gathered up all of her stuff.
"Here you go."
They stared at each other for a bit, both smiling. There was at least something about those two that made them not want to move just yet. But to their dismay, the school bell rung out just as Inuyasha was about to speak.
"It was nice meeting you. Sorry, gotta run!"
"Y-yeah! Nice meeting you too," Kagome stuttered.
She watched him head towards whatever class he had, but then remembered that she was suppose to show him around first. But she lost sight of him as a hoard of antsy students blocked her view as she tried to get to him. To no avail, she gave up and decided to find him later. At the moment, she had to face Mr. Naraku and his class.
"Ugh."
And she was off.
"Man..." he thought, "that chick was kind of cute."
"... Sorry gotta run!"
He raced as fast as he could to get away before he was going to say something totally stupid to the girl. She looked just exactly like his old girlfriend back at his old school. The resemblance was so close, it was disgusting. At first, he could've sworn that he was looking at another Kikyo, but at the last moment he remembered that it was a different girl.
"Hey there buddy!"
Inuyasha looked over and smiled. It was his old childhood friend, Miroku. He wasn't expecting to see him here.
"Miroku, is that really you?"
"No, it's a figment of your imagination."
Miroku rolled his eyes.
"Of course it's me dummy! How've ya been? I haven't seen you since we were little kids. Like the new school?"
Miroku kept rambling on and asking a about bazillion questions until Inuyasha finally lost his patience and stopped him.
"Woah buddy, I'll tell you about it later. Right now I'm suppose to be in chorus... Wherever it is..."
His friend's face brightened.
"Here I'll show you, as long as you tell me everything."
They both laughed and talked about the past as Miroku showed Inuyasha to his first period class. (A/N: Ohhh that rhymed!)
Sango was waiting patiently for Kagome outside of Naraku's classroom when she arrived.
"What did they want you for?" Sango asked out of curiosity.
"Oh, just to show that new kid Inuyasha around school. And we just bumped into each other a minute ago, but I lost him so now I'll just have to wait until I see him again. I'm thinking when lunch comes around."
"Sounds good."
"Yeah. Anyways, shall we?"
Kagome made a jester to go into the room by offering her arm for Sango to grab.
"Yes, we shall."
They hopped merrily into history class, the most boring place to spend their time.
"-and that's why picking boogers is such a bad idea-"
"-oh my God, he really likes me-"
"-you should really try this man, it'll relax-"
"-I have to take a major shit-"
It was lunch, a time for kids to socialize with their friends and gossip about pointless stuff. Doing schoolwork was popular amongst the "computer geeks" sitting in the corner. The jocks usually sat in the front, the cheerleaders sat behind them, and the rest just sit anywhere they want. But in the way back sat Miroku and Inuyasha. They were laughing and having a good time when Sango and Kagome sat down across from them. But then they stopped suddenly and stared at the two girls.
"My darling Sango! You look quite lovely today!"
Sango gave him an annoyed look that said, "don't mess with me or else." Kagome let those two to mingle while she got to know Inuyasha a little bit better. Oh, and to also show him around the school. Couldn't forget about that.
"Hey there Inuyasha. Care to take a walk around the school?"
He was finishing the rest of his ramen when she began to talk to him. After taking his last bite, he agreed by nodding his head.
Kagome led him out of the cafeteria and into a random deserted hallway. Miroku and Sango could be heard fighting behind them.
"Don't touch me!"
"But I can't help it! My hands like to wander, I can't help that they have a mind of their own!"
SLAP!
Kagome shook her head and just laughed. They were always like that, no matter what. Inuyasha piped in shortly after.
"Do they always fight like that all of the time?"
"They sure do. It's been like that ever since grade school when he hit puberty."
"Ah I see..."
"Yeah, you wouldn't believe this, but he actually use to be so dorky looking until the first year of middle school. It was like he transformed into, that, overnight."
"Him and I were best friends when we were younger."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"I didn't know that."
The rest of the time, they just talked and conversed about random things ranging from people, to school, to childhood memories, you name it. Kagome managed to show Inuyasha around the school by the time lunch was over, so to her, they made really good timing.
"Cya later Inuyasha."
"Bye."
School seemed to go by fast for Kagome. By the end of the day, she coudln't stop thinking about Inuyasha. To her, he appeared to be such a nice guy. However, she would never forget that night he was such a jerk to her.
The bell rung, ending the school day. Remembering that she had to make up a paper for Mr. Naraku, she quickly packed her stuff, and went to his classroom.
"Ah, Mrs. Higarashi, please take a seat," he spoke as Kagome entered his room.
Settling for the first seat in the front row, she went to work. Meanwhile, all of the kids that had detention all entered the room at once, causing a noisy racket that snapped Kagome out of her concentration. Naraku didn't look too pleased.
Miroku was the ringleader, like usual.
They all sat in random seats, spaced two seats apart from each other. Eventually, it became calm in the room, and Kagome could get back to work.
After an hour, all of the students left before Kagome finished.
"Here, I'm finished with my paper," Kagome said, pleased with herself.
"Thank you."
Naraku had that look in his eye again, the one that looked a bit predatory.
This freaked out Kagome a bit, and she tried to leave as quickly as possible.
What she didn't know was that as she left, Naraku placed an automatic 'A+' on her paper without giving it a first glance to see if she got anything wrong.
He smirked.
"Hey honey, how was school?"
Kagome told her mom everything with excitement. It took her a couple of minutes to finally wrap things up before she went up to her room and finish her homework.
Later that night, after dinner, Sango picked Kagome up. To her surprise, not only was Rin with them, but also Inuyasha and Miroku.
They all greeted her except for Inuyasha. He looked grumpy. So Kagome opted to sit in the front seat while they all sat in the back.
"So what are we all going to see?" Rin asked.
"I hope it's not some chick flick, those suck," Miroku chimed in.
"Would I be the kind of person to invite all of my friends to some tortuous movie?" Sango said as she drove.
"Maybe," everyone said all at once.
Sango pouted, and then parked her car a block away from the theater. They were finally here.
On the front of the building, the title was lit in bright letter: "Kung-Foo Fighters."
"Thank God," Miroku said as he let out a sigh of relief.
Everyone bought their tickets, got some snacks for themselves, and sat right smack in the front row. Sango and Miroku sat next to each other, then Rin, and then Kagome and Inuyasha. Inuyasha and Kagome smiled at each other while offered to share his popcorn with her.
The movie started shortly after and everyone in the theater went silent. During the movie, Kagome would look around with curiosity. To her surprise, Miroku and Sango were holding hands. But no one except for herself saw that. Rin fell asleep with drool hanging out of her mouth. Kagome laughed silently to herself. Inuyasha realized this and slowly leaned over to whisper something into her ear.
"Hey..."
She snapped her head to face him.
"Hey..."
"I was wondering if I could talk to you in private?"
This gave Kagome butterflies when he said that. Nodding, she followed him out to a deserted area, out of earshot from everyone else.
Just as they got there, he was about to ask her something when two unexpected people walked him, snapping him out of focus.
It was his old girlfriend Kikyo and his archenemy Kouga, and neither of them looked happy.
Kagome noticed this, and gave Inuyasha a questioning look. He just scowled, and gave a small growl.
"Inuyasha, who is this beautiful woman?" Kouga asked, eyeing Kagome down like she was a piece of meat.
Kikyo was angry and turned bright red.
"You have a lot of explaining to do," she spat.
"And who is that I might add?"
Inuyasha blanched.
Author's Notes: Yay for another chapter completed. Today it snowed a crapload, and school was canceled. Neat, huh? Yeah that's what I thought. Lol, no but really. I decided that since I had a full day of doing absolutely nada, that I would treat everybody to a new chapter. Thanks to everyone who reviewed so far. Sorry I couldn't respond back. Did I mention that I love doughnuts?
