Chapter 5

The next day at school, Kagome avoided Inuyasha. She was afraid that she would embarrass herself. She hid in the bathroom every time he appeared. She ducked into random classrooms when she heard his loud voice booming through the hallway. Twice she found herself ducking into a classroom and finding a class full of students and one angry teacher staring at her. Oops, she thought as she apologized and respectfully bowed out of the room.

By the end of the day, she was exhausted. Inuyasha had only seen her once. She was buying lunch when she spotted Inuyasha at the other end of the cafeteria. Kagome had shrieked and dropped her tray, splattering the cashier with mashed potatoes and a cheeseburger. Then she ran out of the cafeteria through the back door and hid inside the gym until lunch was over.

Inuyasha was in a foul mood (as usual). He had been looking all day for Kagome, but had only spotted her once. She was in the cafeteria, ordering food, until she saw him. She had shrieked and dropped her tray and ran away. Was she purposefully avoiding him? Probably, as he could smell her scent in random classrooms that she didn't have a class in.

Inuyasha sighed and walked to his locker. After opening his locker, he pulled out his backpack and his textbooks. Then he walked over to Miroku's locker, forced it open, and took Miroku's things. (Miroku was in the hospital with a minor concussion)

Slowly, he walked his way to the front door where his brand new car was parked. It gleamed in the sun, shining red light onto the lawn where it was illegally parked. There was a yellow ticket on it, but Inuyasha just ripped it up and threw it on the ground. Getting into the car, he realized something. He had forgotten to get his phone from his teacher! (He had gotten it confiscated by the physics teacher because he was texting) He groaned and thumped his head on the steering wheel, (Inuyasha! You can't afford to lose any more brain cells!) and got out of the cold car and into the warm autumn air. Grumpily, he trudged to the physics classroom and was about to knock on the door when he smelled her. Kagome was standing next to the teacher who was writing some fancy equation on the white board. Inuyasha crouched down and peered through the small window. Kagome looked confused and the teacher looked exasperated, as though he had to explain the same thing at least a couple hundred times (which he did) and Kagome still wasn't getting it. Inuyasha smirked, and walked inside.

Kagome was so confused! What the hell is the difference between speed and velocity? She thought angrily. The teacher had spent 30 minutes telling her about velocity and had just started telling her about speed. She had asked for a simple answer, not a lecture! Gosh! She groaned inwardly as the teacher droned on and on about speed being absolute while velocity wasn't… Quickly, her eyes flicked to the clock overhead. Ten more minutes until the mandatory daily meeting for teachers… she thought. Just then, the door opened. Inuyasha walked inside.

Kagome blinked twice. She blushed. She screamed.

"AAAYEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Inuyasha covered his ears. That was one hell of a scream! He squinted his eyes shut as though shutting his eyes could block out the horrible sound… and then it was gone. Inuyasha opened his eyes just as the teacher did.

"Kagome?" the teacher mused out loud. Where was she? Inuyasha suddenly noticed the open window.

"damnit…" he hissed and he grabbed his phone that was lying on the teacher's desk. He opened the window and stuck his head out just in time to see Kagome flee into the forest. He sighed and jumped out.

The teacher blinked. What had just happened? He had had 2 students and now… POOF… they were gone! Out the window! He smacked his head a few times.

I need to get a new job…
