17- An abusing day

"Hey, Kagome!" Sango called as she and Miroku raced to catch up with the young girl who was about to go inside the school. Once they made it there, Kagome noticed that the two were holding hands.

"Hey," Kagome replied, moving her book bag to the other shoulder. "What's up?"

"Nothing much." Sango answered. "How is Inuyasha doing with the whole suspension thing?"

Kagome smirked, her eyes closed. "Oh, he's just great." She was still very tired from his surprise visit the night before. "I couldn't sleep that much because of him last night."

"What do you mean?" Miroku wanted to know as he looked at her curiously, people walking past them to go into the school building.

"He came over to my house late last night, knocking on my window with little pebbles. He even asked to come inside!" Kagome answered with a smile that said, 'Don't worry though, everything is cool.'

"He asked to come inside?" Sango demanded, sort of shocked.

"Wouldn't your parents have gotten angry at you?" Miroku asked.

"Yes, he asked to come inside." Kagome said, answering Sango's question. "And, no, my parents would not have gotten mad. They weren't even home. My brother, my mom, and my grandpa went to see my uncle who is sick."

"Oh." Came their reply in unison.

The three turned and walked into the school finally where they could hang out in the hallway until homeroom started. They just talked about the dance that was supposed to be scheduled for that next week. The girls talked about what they would wear when they came with their dates.

"You know, I think that Kikyo hates you now." Sango blurted randomly as she and Kagome leaned up against their lockers, which were right beside of one another. Miroku was talking to one of his other friends across the hall.

Kagome looked surprised, "Really? Why do you say that?"

"Because," Sango explained, "You're dating Inuyasha. And she really likes him, remember?"

"Oh." Kagome frowned. "I see."

"Yeah. If I were you, I would watch my back, just in case." Sango informed her friend, a serious expression on her face.

"Yeah. I will be." Kagome replied. "Thanks."

"No problem." Sango said, the bell ringing, signaling to everyone that it was time for homeroom to start. "I just don't want you to get hurt."

"You tried protecting me from Inuyasha, remember?" Kagome laughed, "And it turned out to be the total opposite outcome." She then turned and walked to her homeroom. While there, she decided to read. After all, she had nothing better to do.

After homeroom ended, she was heading toward her first class when someone she hardly even knew slammed her against her locker. She gasped when she looked up into a huge football player's blue eyes as he glowered down at her. "Thanks to you," He snarled, "I am going to miss the dance."

"W-what do you mean?" Kagome timidly asked.

"I had plans for that weekend and now, I won't be able to go to the dance with my girlfriend. Way to go, loser." He pushed her back down onto her locker when she tried to stand up and walk away. Her back connected with the lock, and she knew it would leave a bruise. He left, and Kagome thanked her Lucky Stars and went to class.

Before her second class, however, someone elbowed her in the ribs and caused her to drop her books. The person hissed over her shoulder as she walked past her, "Bitch."

Kagome sighed and gathered her books that had been knocked out of her arms. As she was doing this, however, someone kicked her in the back, knocking her down onto the marble floor. People laughed at her as she pushed herself back up, her cheeks red from embarrassment, and picked her books up and proceeded to class like normal.

Once there, she sat down, happy to escape the people who were tormenting her out in the hall, and began to do her work.

Her next classes were fine; no one made fun of her, threatened her, or hit her. Heck, they hardly even looked at her. Finally, lunch came along and she sat with the usual people, among them, Kikyo.

"How has your day been, Kagome?" Sango asked as she slurped on some tea.

"Good." Kagome lied partially. Her day had somewhat been well. She had understood the work assigned to her and finished all of her homework early. If she had not been practically beaten up, her day would have been great.

"Oh. What about yours, Rin?" Sango turned to her other friend next to her. Miroku was across from her.

"Peachy." She said shortly before finishing her hot dog and then downing the rest of her Coke.

"Hm." Sango had clearly run out of questions to ask for she said nothing after that. Kagome noticed Kikyo giving her death glares as she sat at the other end of the table, drinking her water. But, Kagome ignored the girl's looks and went on about her own business.

In her last class, however, Kagome asked to go to the bathroom. She went and washed her hands and just tried to cool off from everyone picking on her and being acrimonious towards her. As she was doing this, Kikyo emerged from on of the stalls and approached her.

"What a coincidence." Kikyo sneered. "Do you enjoy plaguing me?"

"Actually, no." Kagome answered truthfully.

Kikyo stepped up closer to Kagome, "Stay away from Inuyasha. He's mine, got it?"

"I don't see your name on him." Kagome shot back.

"I don't see yours, either, Kagome." Kikyo replied. "So, he is up for grabs."

"Well, it just depends on who he wants to grab him, now, doesn't it?" Kagome said, tired of her mouth.

Kikyo slapped Kagome suddenly, the sound more impressive than the slap itself. Kagome was stunned.

"Let that be a lesson to you, bitch," Kikyo said.

"Why, because the dance is canceled?" Kagome demanded, "Is that why you and everyone else is picking on me and beating me up?"

"Well, that is probably the reason for others to do that." Kikyo answered, "But I am beating the hell out of you because Inuyasha is mine and I need to let you know who is in control."

Kagome just laughed, "You? In control of me? Yeah right!"

Kagura suddenly appeared from one of the stalls, Sotan coming out of another. They all stood next to Kikyo.

"Oh, what's this?" Kagome asked, stepping back a little, "You take orders from her? Do you always try to travel packs or do you naturally look like buffalo?"

Kagura leapt onto Kagome and began punching her in the face while Kagome slapped back, trying to defend herself. She hit Kagura about four times before the girl got off of her and Kikyo and Sotan began kicking her in the ribs.

Kagome jumped up and ran out of the bathroom, causing Kikyo and her two friends to smile in satisfaction and victory.

Kagome went into another bathroom and looked as her injuries. She only had a small scratch on her cheek, but she was sure that she would have more by the time school ended. Her skin did not bruise easily until about half an hour after the wound was inflicted.

She sighed and went back to class, and it, much to her gratitude, ended soon. She bolted from the room, got her things, and raced out of the building.

She was walking down the sidewalk when someone suddenly grabbed her by the hair and jerked her backwards. She squeaked and spun around to find Koga, glaring down at her. "What do you want?" She demanded.

"I want payback," He answered, "For hurting my pride."

Kagome thought a minute and realized that the last time she saw him was when she had kneed him in the sensitive spot. "Oh, sorry bout that…" She said, wanting to be released so she could leave.

"Oh no." He said as she tried to back away. He suddenly slapped her across her cheek, hard. She gasped and touched the new sore spot. It was red now, she was almost sure of it.

"I'm leaving now." Kagome said, backing up. "Bye."

"Wait. One more thing." Koga said, smirking, before hitting her again when she waited to hear what he was going to say. "Now you can go. See you tomorrow, Kagome."

Kagome turned and ran off as fast as she possibly could, not wanting to be hit or picked on anymore. Once at her house, though, Inuyasha was there waiting for her. "Hey," He said when she jogged up. "What happened to your face?" He asked curiously and worriedly.

"Oh, the ball hit me in PE." She lied, using her fourth class as an excuse. "It's nothing, honest. Don't worry."

He seemed to accept that answer for he said, "Oh, ok." And kissed her before saying, "I guess you have homework, so I'll let you go do it."

"Ok." Kagome said, even though she had no homework, but time alone would be great. "I'll see you tomorrow, I guess."

"Yeah, ok. I'll try to meet up with you in the morning." Inuyasha said before waving goodbye and leaving.

Kagome went inside and ate some ice cream after examining her injuries she'd sustained-A bruise on her back, in different places on her ribs, and a few marks on her face. Well, it could have been worse.

She sighed as she trudged upstairs to her room to go to bed that night. Why did everyone have to hurt her like they did? Just because she had a connection to the two boys who canceled the dance, was dating and guy someone liked, and had kneed someone else in the nuts. Oh, wow. She lie on her bed, under the covers, thinking, I wonder what is going to happen to me tomorrow at school…

Then, she fell asleep, eagerly waiting the morning when she met Inuyasha and walked with him to school…
