A few days had passed since Sesshoumaru noticed his half-brother advancing on Kagome.
It was a new semester and it was time for pick new electives. Kagome sat quietly talking to Inuyasha and Miroku about the new electives until the sound of someone speaking over the intercom interrupted their conversation.
"Good morning everyone. Today, all of you will report to the gym to sign up for your new electives.
The Elective to choose from are the following:
P.E.
Weight training,
Kendo/sword-manship,
Mixed Martial Arts: Judo, Karate, Aikido
Yoga & Meditation
Archery
Caligraphy...
'Archery. Great! When I was little, Grandpa use to make me practice archery. It'll just be one more class I pass with flying , what to pick for the other elective,' thought Kagome as she ran the list again through her mind.
P.E was out of the question. You never choose P.E., you're always forced to be in it. Weight Training wasn't her thing either; her arms would probably end up falling off.
What about Kendo? Idea seemed fun, especially channeling her energy into a holy sword.
At the gym, tables were set up with the name of the electives written on the front. Students were already lining up to sign up, and it would be a smart idea to get in line before the classes get full.
Kagome turned to Inuyasha and Miroku and asked, "So guys, have you decided yet?"
Inuyasha answered for the both of them, "We're gunna take Judo and Weight Training."
And putting some infuses in the 'weight training' he started to flex his muscles. Kagome didn't see why he needs weight training, because he was already very toned. She could see this muscles moving under this shirt.
"What are you going to take Kagome?", asked Miroku while Inuyasha was showing off.
Kagome replied, "Um, I think archery and kendo."
Inuyasha stopped flexing, slightly frowning and asked, "Why do you want to take Aachery?"
"Because, I have the abilities, it would be a shame to waist it," Kagome replied a little shocked at his disheartened question. Maybe he wanted her to take Judo and weight training too?
Inuyasha was now visibly upset with Kagome's answer, "Well I'm going to go sign us up Miroku"
He turned on his heel and left Miroku and Kagome standing there.
"Why is he upset," she asked as she watch Inuyasha disappear.
Miroku didn't know what to say. He didn't want to tell her that Inuyasha's ex-girlfriend use to be a miko, and for some strange reason looked a lot like Kagome. He didn't want to tell her that Inuyasha's heart had been shattered when she left for another school, another life and another guy. Instead of telling Kagome, he just looked at her said,
"I have no idea," as Miroku figured that a little white lie would harm no one.
Miroku watched her as seemed in deep thought. This was the perfect time to-
BONK
Kagome smacked Miroku on the head before his hand got to her rear.
Kagome walked to a table that said "Archery" and took the pen to sign her name. After signing her name, Kagome walked to the "Kendo" table and signed her name on that paper as well.
After signing up for her new elective Kagome left the gym and preceded to her next class.
In history class Kagome sat bored with her chin resting on her hand. She started doodling stick figure people, and asked herself questions. Her Grandpa had told her that if there was ever a moment of 'over thinking' that she should ask herself impossible questions. Zen Buddhist in a quest to clear their minds and reach nirvana ask themselves the most weirdest questions.
So Kagome humored her grandfather by thinking of mind blowing impossible questions like: 'Do fish ever get thirsty? Proably not' she answered. 'If God sneezed what should you say? Can't say God bless you' she wondered. 'If Sesshoumaru showed emotions would Hell freeze over?'
She fought urge to laugh at herself from her last question.
Today History class was exceptionally boring. Today's topic was the Warring States Era or Sengoku Jidai. Kagome listened in on the professors lecture, "This time period got its name from the constant civil wars that took place thought Japan's 15th and 16th centuries. The reasons for these conflicts were mostly economic. Feudal overlords, or daimyo, became increasingly powerful and wealthy, while the ruling shogun and his central government weakened. Regional daimyo fought among themselves for control of the land and it's resources. Average working folk were mostly concerned with keeping their heads down and not ending up in the middle of the next great battlefield. It was an age of great battles, powerful samurai and mysterious ninja. Not only was it remembered for its samurai and constant battles, but also for its powerful Youkai, and it's very impressive Mikos. One Miko held the Shikon no Tama in her possession, but later was murdered by a.."
' Blah, Blah, Blah… I've heard this so many times, I could probably recite it in my sleep. Another one of Grandpa's endless stories' Kagome mused.
Kagome tilted her head up to look at the clock, and she swore that seconds weren't that long. She could practically see the clock laughing at her saying, "Muah ha ha, you are going to stay here until you die of boredom!"
