Chapter 3: School

A/N: I am going to possibly change my penname, but only to something just like it: HumbleGoddess without the space between Humble and Goddess. Sorry!! I will try to change it back after a while… pressure at school made me change it so CERTAIN PEOPLE can't read my stuff…. y'know what I mean.

Kagome marched into school on Monday in a horrible mood. She had called Sango after the dance lesson and spilled all. Sango hadn't said a word the whole conversation, Kagome just talking and talking until she ran out of steam. She was probably in shock- Kagome hadn't even talked to her best friend in years. But Sango gave her good advice, so Kagome couldn't help but feel it was nice to have a friend for a change.

She stomped into Biology: he substitute, she heard from others, was harsh on tardy students. She slapped her books onto her desk and slid into the seat. Yesterday's little dance skit kept playing in her head- but so did Sango's advice. He is sooooo hot… but Sango said to be careful around him. He might be a molester. But he's soooo hot...

"Good morning, class. My name is Mr. Taisho, but you may call me absolutely whatever you want. Except Shorty… and Beanpole… so tread lightly in that area." The deep laugh of that voice was unmistakable. Kagome froze. No way… there was no way. No way in Hell that Sesshoumaru Taisho was teaching her Biology class. The world was small, but not THAT small. When she peeked up through the curtain of her hair during role call, Kagome learned something new. The world was waaaaay smaller than even she thought it was.

Suddenly, midway in the H's of role call, he stopped short. A brief, bemused look of shock crossed his face before he covered it up with a saucy smile. "Kagome Higurashi," he called out lightly. "Here," Kagome muttered, slouching into the back of her chair. "Oh yes, yes, you're here, aren't you? Well well… see me after school." The class ooooohed malevolently, and Kagome shot Sango a WTF-do-I-do? look. She seemed to be saying, go for it. "Where did your teacher leave off? Chapter 5, Section 2, I was told. Alright then…"

After class, Kagome slid into the Biology room. This would be very, very ugly. He would probably want to get her in serious trouble for what she had done at the lesson. I should have known not to do something that rash… Kagome sighed. She would pay for her mistake.

Sesshoumaru strode in and took his place behind the desk. "Unfortunately, you will have to be punished for your misbehavior last evening. As your teacher, there is nothing I can do." Kagome nodded. "It was entirely your fault and you will take all credit fr what happened." Kagome's head shot up. THIS she didn't agree to. "You came at me, Mister High-and-Mighty, and it was partially your fault. I merely came to dance. I can take this to the Board of Education, and we'll see what they think of you, you freakin' molester!!" One silver eyebrow shot up. "They say some dogs don't bite," he muttered with a saucy smile, "but I disagree. I like your style. Friday night at 10:00. I'll pick you up. You may go."

Kagome stood in furious shock. What just happened? Did he just ask me out? "I said, you may go," he said, eyes raising to meet hers. It was an order. Kagome pointed a sharply-nailed finger at him, quivering with rage. Her mouth moved like that of a gasping fish torn out of water. No words left her mouth, speeches full of colorful words gathering in her mind and being discarded in a matter of milliseconds. Then, finding she had absolutely no idea what to say, she turned on her heel and stomped out with as much dignity as possible. What have I gotten myself into?

A/N: Yeah, short, but I have been SOOOOO busy lately. I was up till 10:30-11:00 last night, when I had two Quizzes the next day!! That's bad. Anyway, sorry about the penname change. And BTW: I'm taking a tally. Whomever thinks I should continue Twilight, Sick, and Forgetting Not Forgiving please send a review saying which ones you wish to keep. I'll keep a running tally, 'cuz I've lost my inspiration, y'know?
