Thanks for all the reviews and favs. I'm glad you guys enjoy the story, it makes me want to write more. So here's the fifth chapter in my series, I hope you guys enjoy this as well.

Also, I recently noticed a little flaw in my last chapter that I went and fixed. I had Sango and Kagome make comments about guys in their class looking at Inuyasha, but the school is an all female boarding school. Two other chapters had little blunders in them also that I had never noticed. But, they're all fixed up, and now onto the all important disclaimer.

DISCLAIMER: I of course do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters related to this story. Those are all property of the very talented, Rumiko Takahashi. Also, the name of school I created is not meant to be a real school, so any likeness of the name or description is unintended.

Chapter V: Dodging Gym

The first few days of school had gone by pretty smoothly, more or less, for Inuyasha. There was just one thing that he had been avoiding, and it finally came back to get him. He sat in the principal's room starring at the floor. Across from him was the principal of the school, Mr. Yamashita. He was a tall man with dark hair and rectangular glasses balancing on his slender nose. He seemed to be in his later twenties.

"Why have you been skipping gym class?" Mr. Yamashita asked. "It's not only an easy grade, but it's healthy for you to get physical activity throughout the day."

Inuyasha mumbled. He had of course been avoiding the class so that he didn't have to go into the locker rooms where his big secret could be revealed. He couldn't say that though, so he had to think of a good excuse. "Well, I'm uncomfortable with my body image…and, I don't want to be put in a situation where I'd have to show off my body…and the uniform shorts are too short." Inuyasha mentally smacked himself. That's the best I can come up with? Damnit, I'll have to go for sure now.

"You don't have to worry so much about that. There are many different girls here, and we strive in being a very accepting school." Mr. Yamashita said. "Besides, if you continue to miss class, you'll fail it, and have to take it over anyways. You cannot graduate without getting a gym credit."

Inuyasha hung his head in defeat. I'll get Miroku to talk to that Mushin guy later. Hopefully he can get me out of this.

"Don't you worry, it'll be fine," Mr. Yamashita said, "If the length of the shorts bothers you that much, we can get you a different pair to wear for a bit. Now hurry on to class. If I find out that you were skipping again, our conversation won't be so nice."

Inuyasha got up from the chair and walked out from the office into the hallways. Next to him was the hall monitor, a slightly overweight girl with a pony tail who took her job far too seriously.

"I'm to escort you to your gym class, so that there's no chance of you skipping," the girl said.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever, let's just get this over with," Inuyasha said.

Inuyasha was escorted to gym, just as the other girls were getting into their gym uniforms. Inuyasha's eyes almost bulged out of his head as he entered the locker room. All the girls had already taken off their uniforms, and were standing around in their underwear chatting and getting their gym clothes on. Inuyasha's mouth dropped. Miroku would die if he was here.

"Leiko? Are you alright?"

Inuyasha could tell Kagome was next to him, but he didn't look over for fear that she was also half naked.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine…I just have…body image issues."

Kagome chuckled, "Are you kidding me? You have a great body. You're very athletic looking."

She walked in front of him, already in her gym uniform. Inuyasha relaxed, as she blocked his view of all the other girls. "You really think so?"

Kagome nodded, "I don't see any reason why you should be self-conscious. You have a great complexion, great hair, great body. If guys came to this school, they'd be all over you."

"Uh…thanks, I guess."

"So, you going to get dressed?"

"I think I'll get changed in the bathrooms."

"If you're comfortable with that. Just, don't worry so much about how you look. You look fine," Kagome smiled and walked out from the locker room to the gym area.

"Wait up Kagome," Sango yelled from one end of the locker room. She started to jog after her, but stopped in front of Inuyasha. "Are you feeling ok? Your face is all red."

"Oh, is it?" Inuyasha could feel his face being a little hot.

"Are you, blushing?"

"No, no! Not at all, it's just hot in here. I just need to get out of this stuffy uniform," Inuyasha chuckled nervously.

Sango raised an eyebrow, "Alright, see you out in the gym." She jogged out of the locker room.

Inuyasha let out a sigh. I have to not do that again.

Inuyasha stood out in the gym with his arms crossed feeling extremely awkward in his gym uniform. The only relief he had was the longer shorts he got to wear. If he wore the ones that the rest of the girls were wearing, then it would have been a bit obvious that he wasn't a girl. Next to him was Kagome and Sango, and soon as he walked out to the gym they were beside him.

The gym teacher walked into the middle of the room, her hands on her hips. She was a very tall and muscular woman, her brown hair was pulled into a ponytail, and she wore a school track suit.

"Ok ladies! Hope you all are ready to work, cause today we're playing dodge ball," She yelled out.

"You guys play dodge ball here?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yeah, the teacher says that it'll help us gain courage and strength," Kagome said.

"Load of bull," Sango said, "this just terrifies the weaker girls."

Inuyasha looked around and noticed the look of fear in some of the girls' eyes. He chuckled to himself.

"Alright, we're going to pick teams playground style," the teacher yelled out, "The team captains are, Sango…"

Sango walked forward and stood on one side of the teacher, facing the girls.

"Sango's always a captain," Kagome whispered to Inuyasha.

"And the other captain will be…how about the new girl?" She said pointing at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha pointed at himself, "Me?"

"Yes you, get over here."

Inuyasha walked over and stood on the other side of the teacher.

"Since this is your first time in class, I'll let you pick first," the teacher said to Inuyasha.

"Uh, ok. Kagome," Inuyasha said pointing at her.

Kagome smiled and jogged over beside him, and he cleared his throat.

"Alright, then I'll take Misa," Sango said pointing to a tall girl with shoulder length hair.

They kept picking one by one until all the girls were divided onto each team.

"Alright ladies, split the court!" The teacher bellowed. She put the whistle to her mouth as the girls got onto each side of the court looking intently at the seven balls in the center of the room.

As the teacher blew the whistle, Inuyasha and Sango sprang into the front of the pack, each managing to grab a ball and dash back to dodge any balls from the other girls. The balls started flying, one by one girls started dropping like flies. Sango was Inuyasha's big competitor in the game. She threw balls flying so fast that they'd leave marks on the girls that they hit. Kagome was trying her best to dodge balls and throw a few, but she never managed to get anyone out, and one of her balls was soon caught by Sango.

Soon enough, everyone was out except for Inuyasha and Sango. They stood across from each other with fire in their eyes. It was like an old western shoot off. They each held a ball in their hand, but were waiting for someone else to make a move. Inuyasha's hand twitched, making Sango think he was about to throw the ball. As she moved to dodge what she thought was coming, Inuyasha threw the ball, almost hitting her, but she used her ball to block it. Then she threw her ball with great force, smacking Inuyasha in the center of his forehead, making him fall to the ground.

"Oh wow," Sango said surprised, "I didn't think I had that in me."

Kagome ran over to Inuyasha, "Is she ok? I think you knocked her out."

Inuyasha opened up his eyes and looked up at Kagome, "She couldn't knock me out if she tried."

"Oh really? Maybe someone should hand me another ball then," Sango said walking over.

Inuyasha sat up, and Sango started chuckling. "What?"

Kagome looked at his head, "Oh, looks like she left a mark."

Inuyasha felt his forehead, his hand running over a large bump. "Oh, great."

The gym teacher walked over to him, "You may want to go get some ice on that. Someone walk this girl to the nurse's office."

"I'll walk you, Leiko," Kagome said extending a hand to help him up.

Inuyasha grabbed her hand and stood up. "I don't really need to go to the nurse."

Kagome started walking with him out of the gym, "Yeah, but the ice will help to make that bump go away so it's not so big. I can't believe she threw it that hard at you."

Inuyasha grumbled, "I was going easy since she's a girl."

Kagome raised an eyebrow, "So are you. That's something I'd expect some stupid guy to say. They can get so embarrassed about a girl being able to play as well as them."

"Uh…right," Inuyasha said.

"Let me see your head again," Kagome said hopping in front of him. "You may have gotten your head hit too hard," she said chuckling.

"My head's just fine," Inuyasha said turning away from her.

"Oh, I don't think so," Kagome said hopping in front of him again.

"I'm telling you it's fine," Inuyasha started walking away.

Kagome jumped in front of him, and he avoided her as she chased him in a circle.

Inuyasha cracked a smile as he was being chased, "My head's fine."

"I beg to differ," Kagome said back.

The hall monitor walked by them, "Hey, do you two have someplace to be?"

They both looked over at the girl, "We're heading to the nurse's office," Kagome said.

"Well then quit goofing off and get there," the girl said walking on.

Inuyasha grumbled and continued walking towards the nurse's. Kagome followed behind him, "Aw, you went back to being all grumbly again."

"What are you talking about?"

"You always seem aggravated, I've never really seen you smile that much," Kagome said.

Inuyasha was quiet as they continued to walk to the nurse's. She was right, Inuyasha hadn't really smiled that much since being at the school. He didn't see any reason to be happy when he was pretending to be a girl. However, he was a bit happier around Kagome. He continued to walk in silence with her all the way to the nurse's office.

Alright, so there's the next chapter. I hope you enjoyed this one, and please leave me a review. I love hearing what others have to say about my story.
