Chapter 3: Lunch Time! (New Title: Lunch, My Favorite Subject)

Miroku and Inuyasha made their way into the lunchroom. Miroku was doing a ritual fast and didn't bring lunch, but Inuyasha had about three packs on ramen instant noodles that he had to heat up. Miroku scanned the room for his new infatuation of the day, when he spotted Kaome standing alone.

He nudged Inuyasha, "Lets invite the new girl to sit with us."

Inuyasha instantly scanned the cafeteria for her, he felt bad when he spotted her standing alone, but suddenly remembered their awkward exchange from earlier that day.

Miroku grinned when he said his friends face turn red, "You know you like her, now come on." He grabbed Inuyasha's shirt and made their way towards Kagome, who had now lost her appetite. She didn't even notice that they approached her. Inuyasha asked, "Didn't your mom ever teach that it's bad to stand and eating?"

Kagome looked towards and saw her classmates standing across from her. At one moment she was happy that she had people to sit with, so she decided not to answer Inuyasha's stupid question.

Miroku took that moment of silence to ask, "Kagome, will you bear my child?"

Kagome sputtered, and looked up at him, "Aren't you a bit young to start having kids?"

Miroku smiled, and put his hand on hers, "Not if you aren't?"

Inuyasha smacked him hard over the head. "Don't worry he does that to every girl." Now with edge to his voice, "and if he keeps it up, he's going to die a virgin."

Kagome couldn't help but laugh. 'They aren't that bad'

Sesshoumaru left Kagome and sat down at his table, he hated being surrounded by popular people, but that was the group he belonged to. It was beyond him as to why he belonged to this group. He neither spoke nor associated with any of these people.

"Hey Sesshoumaru" thee head cheerleader said decided to try her luck today, and talk with Sesshoumaru.

He narrowed his eyes, sending his demonic aura out to disrupt any intentions of him wanted to ever talk with her. "Geezz, sorry," she said with her hands up, as took a few steps back. She wasn't stupid enough to know that he didn't like her, so she decided to go back to where she was sitting before.

"Hey Sesshoumaru?" called a loud voice. " What's wrong, man?"

Sesshoumaru didn't need to turn to know who was speaking to him. Lou, a Tiger demon, with spiky orange hair and 3 black stripes on the left side of his face, was the only person that Sesshoumaru could consider a friend. He was practically the only one that could with stand his icy glares, and sarcastic remarks.

"Nothing." Sesshoumaru replied cooly

"Nothing huh? Something wrong. It's not every day, that you glare at one of the prettiest girl in school for saying hi, usually you give it to her after the "is that seat taken?"

Sesshoumaru ignored Lou's remarks.

"Hey did you see that new girl? She's a hottie"- said Lou as he elbowed Sesshoumaru in the arm.

Sesshoumaru sighed, "To sink so low as to consider a human for mating."

"Who said anything about mating, I just said that she was hot. Plus, I heard she has to follow you all day, you lucky dog. I love eye-candy"

"Unfortunately Kaijin-sensei has assigned me to lead the wench around. ", Sesshoumaru replied sharply.

Lou casually bushed his hand through his spiky hair, "Well, she was standing alone for a minute. I had wanted to be a gentleman and ask her to sit with us, but it seems like your brother and his weird friend beat me to it. Ha, I still have my chances though."

Why his brother associates with humans was something he could never fathom- Let alone fall in love with one. His brother, Inuyasha, was the product of his father coupling with a human and producing a half demon. Inuyasha was not accepted into neither demon nor human societies; and he would never fit in. Sesshoumaru was ashamed to call Inuyasha his brother; he was ashamed that the same weak blood that carried compassion towards humans ran through his veins as well.

Sesshoumaru quickly rose from the table, threw away his untouched food; thinking about his mother and father's relationship always made him lose his appetite. He made his way towards Kagome to continue on with his quiet tour of the school. The faster he could get rid of this human the better

Inuyasha curiously eyed his brother as he walked towards their table. 'What is he up to?'

At this time, Kagome, glad to have company, noticed the sudden change in Inuysha's facial expression as he glared past her.

She peered over he shoulder and saw Sesshoumaru gracefully making his way towards her table. Not sure what he wanted, Inuyasha asked, "What do you want, brother?" that last word came out like it was poison.

Sesshoumaru turned his attention to Inuyasha and said in a calm voice, "Half brother, you're too much of a disgrace to be a anything more. This Sesshoumaru not here to talk to you."

Kagome listened in, 'So they are brothers, well half-brothers. That explain the hair and eyes.'

Sesshoumaru nodded towards Kagome and said, "Lets go, I'm finishing the tour."

Kagome got up quickly, said goodbye to Miroku and a very angered Inuyasha.

Sesshoumaru left the cafeteria and was walking a few paces ahead of her.

She quickened her steps to be at his side, 'Boy he does take wide steps.' She looked down at his feet; it looked like he was walking normal.

She looked at up at his face and asked, " So, where are we going?"

She kept looking at his face - still cold and emotionless.

Continued to speak although he had not answered her first question, "So, you and Inuyasha are brothers huh?"

Kagome just gave a pout when he did not answer and kept following him.
