He slowly opened his door and peaked out to see a smile and brown eyes staring at him. "Hey Shippo!"
"Kagome, what are you doing here?" he asked as he looked around to see if anybody was near. Although Kagome was the only one.
"I wanted to know if you would walk to school with me today."
"Walk with you?" The fox demon finally stepped outside and looked up at the girl curiously with his blue eyes.
"Uh-huh. And tonight, InuYasha, a friend, and I are all going to my house to have a study party. You wanna come?"
"Your house? Gosh, really?"
"Yeah! There will be candy and game
It only took less than a second for the boy to reply with a smile and nod. "Ok."
"Great! So, are you ready?"
"Yeah, just let me get my bag." He ran in his house and quickly came out with his backpack. "Ok, I'm ready."
"Alright, lets go."
Shippo happily walked by Kagome's side. After a moment, he started a conversation. "So…if you guys are having a study party, what about me? I'm not in the same class, not even in the same school as you."
Kagome smiled as they continued walking. "Yeah, but the other friend that's coming over isn't even in the same grade as us. He's just gonna help out, and I'm sure you could help out. Plus, if you have any homework to do we'd be happy to give you a hand."
"Ok Kagome, you can help me. But NOT InuYasha."
She could only laugh, understanding his decision. "Alright, well lets keep going."
Once Kagome dropped Shippo off and went into her own school, she happily went to her locker and saw Miroku not too far ahead with his back facing her. "Hey Miroku!" She shut her locker and ran over.
"Miroku! Huh?" The girl stopped when she noticed that the monk has his hands in another girl's, and sweet-talking her. The only thing she could do was just stare and wonder.
"That's really sweet, but I gotta get to class," the girl sweetly said.
"Take your time," Miroku replied with a smile, "and come find me when you decide."
"Alright." And she was off.
"Miroku?"
Miroku curiously turned around and smiled when he saw Kagome. "Oh, hey Lady Kagome."
"Was…that wasn't your girlfriend, was it?"
"Oh, umm…well…" he started to nervously rub the back of his neck and looked down. "Well…she was just so pretty, and ummm…well…"
Kagome decided to make a conclusion that Miroku really was a perverted womanizer. "Well, have you seen InuYasha."?
He sighed with relieve and smiled. "No, I haven't. I'm surprised not to see him with you." He started for his locker when the two heard a few screams from the distance.
"Watch out! I'm not in the mood!"
Both Kagome and Miroku were surprised to know that was InuYasha's voice, so the two ran up ahead to see the half-demon swinging something around and scaring people off.
"InuYasha!" Kagome angrily called as she ran up to him. "InuYasha, stop! Why are you being so mean!"? She was finally inches away from him.
The boy stopped to look at her with a glare. "They're in the way, and I'm trying to make this stupid thing work."
The girl suddenly realized that InuYasha was holding his father rusty sword. "InuYasha….that's…your father's sword."
"No, ya think."
"But I thought you said it was useless and not worth holding on to. What made you change your mind."?
"Well, I just…" he started to run and felt annoyed as he turned the other way. "Look, I need to show Sesshomaru that I'm the one to be able to handle it."
Kagome gasped. "You're right, Sesshomaru couldn't even touch it. But…you're able to hold it."
"What's going on? Maybe I can help out."
The two turned to see Miroku giving them a curious look. Kagome smiled, while InuYasha just rolled his eyes and groaned.
"Well," Kagome started, "InuYasha-"
"What, don't tell HIM!" the half-demon cried in Kagome's face.
"But he said he could help!"
"What's HE gonna do. He doesn't look like a warrior anyways."
"I'm not warrior," the monk replied, "I'm a monk and exorcist, and always willing to give others a hand."
"Yeah, including woman."
Before Miroku could say another word, the bell rang, and students were heading to class.
"Well tell you at lunch," said Kagome.
After Miroku walked away, InuYasha headed for his locker and Kagome followed.
"You're gonna be late for class," Kagome said.
"I don't care." The half-demon through the sword in his locker, grabbed his books, and shut it."
"InuYasha, maybe someone hear at school can help you."
"Huh, like who?" he curiously looked at her.
"I don't know, a teacher. I bet our gym teacher could help out, he's probably good with weapons."
"I don't want some teacher telling me how to use my father's fane. I'll figure it out on my own."
Kagome looked down. "Oh, ok. Well I gotta go. See ya in history class."
"Yeah, see ya."
"So, little brother; you decided to give the sword a try."
InuYasha clenched his teeth and turned to see Seshomaru glaring at him. "What do you want, Sesshomaru."
"The sword, obviously."
"Well you ain't getting it. Besides," he started to smirk, "you can't even touch it. Why bother?"
"You really think I, Sesshomaru, much more smarter and stronger than you is going to give up that easily?"
"Only a fool like you."
Before Sesshomaru could attack, a voice interrupted the two.
"Lord Sesshomaru?"
The demon looked down to see a curious green imp staring up at him.
"What is it, Jaken?"
"Class has started, and I wouldn't want my master," he bowed, "to be late."
"Right, I'm coming."
InuYasha smirked. "You have a follower? Since when?"
"I don't need to discuss useless things with you that aren't any of your business." Sesshomaru turned away and started walking. "Come Jaken."
"Yes, yes," the little imp replied as he followed.
InuYasha grew confused. What in the world?
Elementary
"Alright class, take your seats."
Kaede nervously watched Shippo sit down in his seat, and she quickly ran into her desk, hoping for nothing bad. Kaede was one out of the only three humans in the classroom. Surprisingly, the building only had two classrooms, and all the grade levels were combined, from grade one to grade 6.
As the teacher did attendance, the girl gulped as she watched the little fox demon silently sit in his desk. She was a little surprised to see him not doing anything bad or misbehave. It made her a little confused, too.
"Kaede?"
"Oh, I'm here," she replied. Kaede was now a little use to being around demons, although a few of them did scare her a bit. Including Shippo. He was always playing pranks on people, even her, and she never knew when his little tricks was going to attack. It was just too scary for her.
"Ok class," the teacher went on, "I wanted to tell you that next week we'll be having a couple new students here. One in this class, and one in the other. So I hope you help them feel welcome."
Shippo wondered. A new student in our class.
"I also want to tell you that next week I'll be assigning you partners for your class project in science."
Shippo wondered whom'd he be with, and Kaede was nervous. What if she had to be pared up with someone mean? The girl shook when she suddenly thought of Kikyo. Kikyo would tell her that she would have to over power the demon. She had to be brave and strong. She wouldn't let anyone push her around. So the girl sighed, trying to be confident. She could do this, even if she was pared up with a mean fox demon.
As class went on, Shippo couldn't help but put a smile on his face. Tonight I'll be going to Kagome's house. It will be a lot of fun.
When it was finally time for recess, all the kids ran outside to play as Shippo just slowly walked out by himself. He would usually go around playing pranks on people, but for some reason this week he felt that it wasn't worth doing much anymore. He wasn't sure why, but he felt like he had something else that was more important. He thought of Kagome's happy, beautiful face. She made him feel so warm inside.
"Ow, stop it!" an unfamiliar voice broke the child's thoughts.
"Then give us back the ball!"
Shippo curiously looked ahead to see two guys picking on a girl, including kicking sand in her face.
"I didn't take your ball!"
"We saw you, don't lie to us!"
Shippo felt like he had to do something, so he climbed up in the nearest tree right above the kids.
"Give us back the ball!"
Shippo gulped. I have to do something.
In less than a minute, acorns started to fall on the boys' heads. "Hey, what's going on? Ow! Who's doing that!"? But they couldn't get a good look, because more acorns just kept on falling, so they ran off.
Shippo sighed with relieve, and jumped down from the tree and to the girl that was being picked on.
She looked at him curiously then smiled. "Thanks."
"No problem. I don't like to see cute girls like you get hurt."
"You think I'm cute?"
He started to turn red, just realizing what he had just said. "Well, uh…"
"You're cute, too. The cutest raccoon dog I have ever seen!"
"I'm not a raccoon dog." He tried to hold his temper. First squirrel, and now raccoon dog? What's next? "I'm a fox."
"Hey, what's your name cute little fox?"
Everything Shippo heard the word cute, his heart started to beat faster. "My…my name is Shippo."
"I'm Satsuki. Hey Shippo, you wanna play ball?" The girl started digging in the sand, and soon enough pulled out a little blue ball to bounce around.
"What…you mean you really did steal this ball from them?"
"I didn't steal it. It was on the ground, so I got it first before t hey could."
"Oh. I guess that makes sense."
"So you wanna play ball?"
"Um…sure Satsuki." And for the first time in his life, Shippo was playing with another kid in his class.
Ok, I was gonna put more in it, but I felt it was too soon, so I was just gonna end it at that. So who are going to be the new students in class? You'll have to wait and see. And I hope this chapter was worth reading. Hehe.
