Souta -17 ½

Kumiko – 17

Chapter 2:

It was fourth period and Souta still stared off into space, not paying any attention to what class he was in.

"Yo what's wrong with you today Souta?"

"Huh, nothing just thinking"

"Class we have a new student today, she used to be taught at home but has finally agreed to come to a public school"

'Joy another new student; she'll probably end up sitting in the spare desk to me, another air head who will keep pestering me'

"Kumiko you can go sit next to Souta over there"

"Thank you"

'Wait, Kumiko!'

Souta looked away from the window he had been staring aimlessly out of to see a young girl with long black hair sit down next to him.

"You happy now, I'm at your damn school"

"Kumiko no talking during class please"

"Yes ma'am"

Souta was still staring in disbelief at the girl sitting next to him, he had been thinking about her all day and now she was here right next to him. She seemed a bit uneasy about the fact that nearly every boy in the room was practically drooling over her and all the girls were glaring daggers at her.

'What did I get myself into, I should have stayed home'

"Class for home work I want you to read pages 42-53, class dismissed"

"So, what now, Souta?"

"It's lunch time and I've got soccer trials, you can come and watch if you like?"

"Why not, doesn't look like the girls like me too much and the boys look a bit shallow"

Souta rubbed the back of his head nervously.

"Yeah the girls are kind of obsessing over me at the moment and are probably jealous that you stealing my attention"

"So let's go to this soccer trial"

"Okay let me go get changed, you can wait down by the field"

"Okay"

Souta walked off to go get changed and Kumiko started to head towards the field. 'Wait where is the field? I'll go ask that guy standing staring at me, weirdo'

"Excuse me, where is the field?"

"Well I can show you if you like?"

Kumiko didn't like the tone he was using with her but she had to find the field some how. She walked next to the guy who was showing her to the field when all of the sudden he pressed her up against a wall and started trying to kiss her (etc). 'Oh crap I can't even defend myself with out risking it'

'Mmm where's Kumiko?' Souta looked around when he heard a girls scream. "Kumiko!" Souta arrived to where a crowd had gathered, he pushed his way through to see a guy pressing Kumiko to a wall and touching her improperly.

Souta dropped his stuff "Bastard get your hands off her, you have no right!"

"Is she your girl now is she?"

Souta was a bit shocked at this statement and didn't know what to say so he lied hoping that would make the guy let Kumiko go.

"Yes"

"Well then that makes her an even more interesting trophy"

"Bastard!" Souta was by now right next to the man and he punched him right across the face. 'InuYasha's lessons have become useful after all'.

"You want to fight for her now do you?"

Souta could see that this man was at least half a foot taller and had a bigger build but he wasn't scared.

"Yes"

The man tried to hit Souta, but he dodged easily and started punching the man in the stomach and face. Finally with one last hit the man fell to the ground. Souta stood up panting but relieved to find Kumiko in one piece.

"Are you…" But he was interrupted by Kumiko giving him a hug, she was on her toes and her arms were around his neck. He put his arms around her waist and she sobbed into his shoulder. He heard her wince when he put his arms around her waist. 'She must have some injuries; I better take her to the nurse office'. Souta then lifted her up, she was still sobbing into his shoulder when he reached the nurses office. He placed her down on the bed and explained to the nurse what had happened. She gave both Souta and Kumiko a quick look over.

"She just has a few scrapes and bruises, but she's lucky you showed up"

Souta walked over to Kumiko who had some tears running down her face, he put his arm around her shoulder in order to comfort her. The nurse smiled at them. "You two make such a cute couple"

Souta started to blush and tried his best to deny it but soon gave up when the nurse just waved it off and walked out the room.

"Are you okay?"

"I came here hoping to be normal, but I should have known I'm a freak no matter where I am or how I look"

"I told you before you aren't a freak"

"You know nothing! You're just another shallow boy who thinks that just because I'm good looking I must be perfect"

"I don't think that!"

"Don't lie to me, I saw you drooling over me when you first saw me!"

"Yes but that's…" Souta was interrupted by Kumiko charging out of the room in tears and anger.

: Sigh: 'Why do women have to be so complicated?'

"I can't believe you rescued her again"

"Mama I told you it was just a small school fight, nothing heroic about it"

"You must be her knight in shining armor"

Souta sweat dropped and gave up there was no getting though to his mother when she was in this mood, next thing you know she'll be talking about…

"Oh and imagine the grandchildren, they'd be so cute, they wouldn't have cute little dog ears but they'd still be adorable"

Even though Kagome had already given her mother a grandchild she still obsessed about having more.

"Mama I don't think she's even talking to me any more"

"Why?"

"In the nurses office she told me I was shallow and walked out"

"Why would she say that?"

"I told her she was beautiful"

"Aaawww, my poor boy"

"Mama I'm 17 not 9!"

"You know what you should do?"

"What?"

A/N: I know you guys probably hate cliffes but sorry I love writing them and it helps keep some people hooked. Plz R&R Also just out of interest have any of you writers out their noticed there is usually more people reading you last chapter than some of your middle ones? I do that sometimes, I hate to read a good story with an ending I don't like especially if it's a long one! Any way Thank you everyone!
