Chapter 5:
Like the day before, Kagome woke up to Yusuke pounding on the door and yelling at her to get up. Kagome got out of bed mumbling something about cousins and needing sleep. Moments later she came out wearing another black mini skirt and a black shirt that read in red letters, "Take a Picture It'll Last Longer."
"Nice shirt." Yusuke commented after reading what it said.
"Thanks. I knew this shirt would come in some time." Kagome said with a smile. She grabbed her backpack and walked out the door, Yusuke following after her.
"So, what happened to the uniform? You said you'll only go without it yesterday."
"One, the teachers didn't say anything to me. Two, why should I wear uniform if I know they're not going to stop me from wearing what I want. Three, why should I, if you don't. And like I said yesterday, they never said I couldn't wear what I want."
Yusuke smirked. 'Kagome's changed a lot since the last time I've seen her. She never used to be like this. She used to be such a goody goody. Man, what happened to her.' Yusuke thought. ' I don't know weather I like this Kagome better or the old Kagome.'
Kagome smiled at her cousin. She couldn't help but go into his mind. 'Yeah, I have changed since we last saw each other, but that was before I fell into the well. It's true I used to always follow rules, and I must admit I have become stubborn since then. I think that's all thanks to InuYasha.'
The two got to school just as the warning bell rang. As the two walked to the school doors, three guys started fighting over who got to open the door for Kagome. Kagome and Yusuke both rolled their eyes and Yusuke opened the door for the both of them. The three guys kept on with their fight.
"Ah my woman has arrived." Kouga said as Kagome and Yusuke walked in. The girls that were in the room stared daggers at Kagome. Kagome ignored the girls and smiled as she walked up to Kouga.
"Kouga, how many times have I told you. I'm not your woman!" Kagome said slowly, pulling him up by his shirt with one hand so the two could be face to face, and a raised fist in with the other. Kouga nodded in fear, but shrugged it off when she loosened her grip. Kagome let go of his shirt and sat down next to him. Yusuke smirked and took his seat next to her.
The late bell rang and people rushed into the room just before Mr. Tijiu came. He looked over the class and smiled. Everyone was present.
"I have a few announcements today. One of them is a new team, a martial arts team to be exact. If you make the qualifications for the team, you shall be switched to Martial Arts instead of P.E. Tryouts will be held during your P.E. classes today for those of you who would like to tryout." Mr. Tijiu paused to let his students talk for a moment.
'Great! I get some practice. And that means less guys staring at Kagome!' Yusuke thought happily.
'What's martial arts?' Kouga thought dumbly. (a/n: remember Kouga hasn't been in the human world long enough to know what some things are) Kagome looked at Kouga, hearing his thoughts she tried hard not to laugh.
'Kouga, its like training. You get to spar with other fighters. You know, like what we did at your place yesterday, but just more, how can I put it, basic.'
'Okay, then I'm trying out. Are you?' Kouga asked giving her a smile.
'Of course.' Kagome said looking down at her desk. The teacher started talking again.
"Okay, another is the upcoming dance. This year's theme will be Feudal Japan." Kagome looked up from her desk. 'Did he just say Feudal Japan? Yes, I can wear that miko outfit. Or that kimono I got from Sesshy.' she thought excitedly. "Rules will apply for this dance, like all the others. You may wear feudal costumes, nothing to revealing ladies. And since demons were very big back then, you may dress up like them also. Tickets will be sold during lunch and after school in the cafeteria. Votes for this year's Emperor and Empress will also be taking place in the cafeteria."
"That's all , you may talk for the rest of the period." with that Mr. Tijiu sat in his desk. He pulled out his cell and started textting people.
"Does he always do that?" Kagome asked Yusuke looking at Mr. Tijiu.
"Yeah." he chuckled
"What's a dance?" Kouga asked.
"It's like a big party. You get all dressed up and you dance with people, basically. It's fun. You should go." answered Kagome, not mentioning the part about asking a girl to accompany him. Knowing perfectly well that he'd ask her.
The bell rang and they all left to go to P.E. Kagome was relieved, the guys weren't looking at her when she stepped out of the locker room, but she didn't know Yusuke and Kouga yelled at them moments before.
"So are you guys trying out for the team?" Kagome asked as she walked up to Kouga, Yusuke, Kuwabara and his friends.
"Yeah. I need the practice." answered Yusuke
"Of course I am! I'm one of the best fighters around!" Kuwabara said putting his fists on his hips and laughing like a maniac.
"Shut up!" Kagome, Yusuke and Kouga said in unison and all three of them hit him up side the head. Kuwabara, again was knocked out.
"How about you Kouga, are you trying out?" asked Yusuke. He nodded. "Kagome, how about you?"
"Yeah, of course!" she answered happily.
"Class, as you all heard, there will be tryouts for the new Martial Arts team during this period. If you are interested, please go into the gym. Those of you who are not trying out, line up." yelled the teacher.
"Huh?" Kuwabara said coming to.
"Come on we got to get to the gym you baka." Yusuke said as he pulled him to his feet.
"Is this all?" asked a young woman wearing light green baggy pants, white long sleeve shirt and a sleeveless dark pink gee with long wavy pink hair and a hat that matched her gee. She was expecting more students, instead of the six students in front of her.
'I recognize that voice.' Yusuke said to himself. turning around slowly.
"Oh well, let's get started. My name is Ms. Yamotoshi. I'll be your coach if you make it on my team. Lets start with-" she was cut off.
"What the fuck are you doing here you old hag!" yelled Yusuke. (a/n: okay I know I said 'young lady,' but that's cause you know she can look old and young.)
"Yusuke! That's no way to talk to a woman. Please excuse my cousin." Kagome said bowing in apology to her. She then turned to Yusuke and hit him upside the head. "Baka!"
"Oww. You know you didn't have to do that." he said rubbing his head. Ms. Yamotoshi smirked, she could tell she was going to like her.
"As I was saying, introduce yourselves. Starting with the rude one."
"Feh. You old hag. The toddler better not have anything to do with this." Yusuke mumbled out loud.
"What was that we couldn't hear you?"
"Yusuke Yurameshi!"
"Kouga Shojitsu."
"Kagome Higurashi." She said bowing again.
"Kuwabara Kazuma."
"Sayoshi Tujusi." (a/n: did I make that sound like Too Juicy?)
"Sochi Tujusi."
"Okay. Seeing that Sayoshi and Sochi seem to be siblings and Kagome and Yusuke are related, I want you to switch. Sochi against Kagome and Yusuke against Sayoshi. Kuwabara you're against Kouga."
"Come on let me fight Yurameshi!" Kuwabara yelled.
"Don't make me repeat my-"
"Awe. What you scared to fight me? Besides we all know you're going to lose." Kouga said smirking at his opponent.
"Oh no, you got yourself an fight." he answered.
"Fine then. Kagome, Sochi you two are up first. Get into fighting position and when I give you the signal you may begin."
Kagome and Sochi walked to the center of the gym, where mats were arranged. The two bowed to one another and got into fighting position. Ms. Yamotoshi stepped in between the two, took two steps back. She brought up her hand dropped it and yelled, "Begin!"
The two started off dodging each others' attacks. You can tell they weren't even trying. After several minutes of blocking and missed hits, Sochi was losing his patience. He punched Kagome blocked, expecting this he did a jump spinning back kick. Kagome ducked down and did a clean sweep just as Sochi's foot hit the mat. He was knocked off the foot he landed on and fell back. Sochi quickly got up to his feet, but froze as Kagome's sidekick was centimeters from his throat. Everyone watching expected the match to be over, but it wasn't. Sochi grabbed her leg and tried to sweep her other one. Kagome smirked and with her free leg jumped and kicked him on the side of the head. Sochi didn't see it coming. He fell once again and this time he stayed down.
"Your pretty good." He said as Kagome offered him a hand, he took it and she helped him to his feet.
"Thanks. You're not half bad yourself." Kagome replied. 'I wasn't even trying.'
The two went back to stand were they once stood and faced each other once again. The two bowed to one another and walked off the mat.
"Where'd you learn to fight?" Sochi asked as the two sat down beside each other at the bleachers, were the other four sat.
"Uh...A friend of mine." Kagome answered. 'Yeah right. Like I'm going to tell him a demon slayer, a hanyou, and a couple of Demons taught me how to fight. I wouldn't only not get on the team, but probably sent to the loony bin 50 miles out of town.'
"That's cool. Sayoshi and I were taught by our grandfather." he said smiling at her.
"Yusuke and Sayoshi, you two are up."
"Great." Yusuke said with sarcasm
The two went to the middle of the gym bowed and got into fighting stances, well Sayoshi did anyway. Yusuke just stood there. Ms. Yamotoshi smirked, "Begin!" Sayoshi charged at Yusuke, Yusuke dodged his punch, but didn't see Sayoshi's foot coming. Sayoshi kicked Yusuke into the wall. (a/n: I know that might not actually happen and would most likely be the other way around, but it's my fic!) Yusuke shook his head and smirked at Sayoshi, "Not bad."
"Thanks." Sayoshi replied.
The two went back to the middle of the gym and started again. This time Yusuke got into his fighting stance and let Sayoshi make the first move again. Sayoshi did a kick punch combo, but Yusuke blocked each hit. Yusuke punched while blocking Sayoshi's kicks at the same time. Yusuke saw his chance and side stepped just as Sayoshi was coming in to punch. He grabbed his arm with one hand and used the other to grab a hold on his waist and flipped him. Sayoshi got up. Yusuke and him went back to the middle of the mat once again and bowed to one another and walked to the bleachers.
"Nice fight." Kagome said smiling at the two.
"Feh." Yusuke replied sitting next to her. 'I swear he sounds just like InuYasha when he does that.' Sayoshi nodded to her and took a seat next to Sochi.
"Kouga and Kuwabara you two are up."
The two went to the middle of the gym. They didn't even bow to each other. "Begin" Kouga stood there, Kuwabara charged at him. Kouga took a step to the side and stuck his foot out, tripping Kuwabara. He landed face first into the mat, but got up as quickly as he went down. Kouga didn't want to bother fighting the likes of him, so he punched him a few times before side kicking him into the wall. Kouga smirked and walked back to the bleachers and took a seat next to Yusuke.
"Nice." Yusuke said to Kouga as he watched Kuwabara look for his opponent dumbly.
"Is he just a baka and lucky or does he really know how to fight?" Kagome asked Yusuke as Kuwabara walked towards Kouga.
"Hey! The Fights not over!" He yelled into Kouga's face.
"I'm not going to bother fighting you. Come on, if Kagome, Yusuke and I can knock you out by just hitting you on the head, what makes you think you can beat any of us?"
Kagome giggled lightly, Yusuke chuckled, the two brothers nodded in agreement. They've seen the three knock him out just recently.
"Kuwabara just take a seat!" Ms. Yamotoshi yelled as she walked toward them from the center of the gym. Kuwabara grumbled to himself and took a seat at the edge of the bleachers away from them all. (a/n: I'm so mean to him in this fic.) "Well, since this is only second period and I still have five more periods to see, you'll be notified tomorrow if you made the team or not. I have an opening for twelve students. And if less then six students show up during the rest of the day, you'll all be placed on the team. Here is a form, please fill it out right now. You have the remainder of the period, which happens to be half an hour." Coach handed them each a form and a pen.
Once Kagome got her paper, she started reading and filling out the questions. They all finished in less then fifteen minutes.
"There's still fifteen minutes till the end of the period. You may talk or stretch, what ever you please." Ms. Yamotoshi said shifting through the papers. Yusuke got up and walked over to Ms. Yamotoshi. Kuwabara followed.
"What are you doing here?" Yusuke asked low enough for only her and Kuwabara to hear.
