AN: Whoo baby! Its chapter nine of this distilled innocence
Inu-chan: This story is anything but pure, stop lying to people
HnA: I'll stop as soon as you start minding your business
Inu-chan: Well if I'm a muse and not just a figment of your overactive imagination-
HnA: Which in this case is the same thing, so stop yapping and let me start the chapter
Inu-chan: opens mouth then closes it
HnA: Why, thank you!

"Why the hell did you do that Inuyasha?" Sango glared at her friend from her spot in front of him during their class.
"Because she deserved it..." Inuyasha looked away from her only to notice Miroku's reproachful stare. He rolled his eyes and turned his attention to their sleeping teacher.
"Talk to her, Inuyasha. The only thing she deserves is kindness considering that's all she gave you." Miroku's tone began to rise as he heard a soft 'Feh.' leave Inuyasha's mouth. "Can you try not to be stubborn for once in your life?"
"I'm not being stubborn, she thinks I'm weak just because I'm a hanyou!"
"Or maybe she thinks that Kouga guy is just strong enough to beat you and she cares enough to not want to see you get hurt." Sango rebutted in Kagome's defense.
"Yeah, right." Inuyasha crossed his arms and scowled, he knew they were right but he wasn't going to tell them that.
"Go find her and talk to her." Miroku said with his arms crossed over his desk.
Before Inuyasha could open his mouth, Sango added, "Right now or I will rip your ears off your big arrogant head."
"Do you hear this girl?" Inuyasha asked Miroku as he stood up.
"Yeah, I'll hold you down if you don't quit stalling."
"Yeah, whatever." He got up from his seat and started towards the door. He knew neither of the two could really harm him, but deep down, he really did want to talk to Kagome.

'I have to get out of here...' Kagome stood in front of the mirror in the girls' bathroom, thinking about Inuyasha. She let out a small sigh and made her way for the door. She was instantly thrown back when the door burst open and Kikyo along with her entourage walked in. It was immediately silent as Kikyo made eye contact with Kagome.
"Looks like the little girl lost her friends." Kikyo began walking towards Kagome while she started to get up. The heel of her boot found its way to Kagome's chest, stopping her from standing again, "Where do you think you're going?"
Kagome remained silent as she pushed Kikyo's foot off her and made another attempt to get on her feet.
"I don't think so," Kikyo swung her foot into Kagome's stomach, knocking her over. She watched with satisfaction as she began coughing from her spot on the bathroom floor. Kikyo let her friends laugh at Kagome's pain before saying. "I think it's time you paid me."
Kagome watched from ground with confusion swimming in her eyes.
"Oh, you didn't know?" The heels of her shoes clicked loudly as she walked towards Kagome. She bent over and pulled her up by her hair, "Anyone who fucks with my Inuyasha has to pay to even be graced by his presence." Kikyo slammed her head onto the ground before standing up to laugh. "And since we all know a slut like you has done more than just stare at him, you owe me more than your pathetic life is worth."
There was high pitched laughter behind Kikyo as she dealt blow after blow to Kagome's helpless form.
"Stop," Kagome managed to choke out the word before Kikyo kicked her again.
"Why should I?"
"Because even if I left here in a bloody pulp, Inuyasha wouldn't want you." She managed to sit up during her explanation.
"What!" Kikyo let out an angry scream before grabbing a fistful of Kagome's hair. "That's it, you're dead!"

She was going to die in a public high school bathroom. She was going to drown in her own diluted blood on the tiled and disgusting floor of a restroom. She let out a whimper at the thought.
Inuyasha stopped and looked towards the girls' bathroom door at the sound. He sniffed and caught the scent of blood. Kagome's blood. He immediately threw the door open and his eyes widened at the sight that greeted him. Kagome lay face down on the floor, water and blood surrounding her. He soon found his way to her side, "Kagome, are you okay? Who did this to you?" "Inuyasha?" She groaned and opened a swollen, bloodshot eye.
"Who did this?" He repeated, his eyes boring her own, in search of the answer.
She shook her head and simply passed out.
He let out a frustrated sigh, and began picking her up. "Don't worry, I'll find them."

AN: Hmm… it wasn't supposed to end that way but, oh well.
Inu-chan: I can't wait for your first flame so I can laugh at you
HnA: I can't wait for my first torch so I can burn you
I'm sorry this chapter is so short, I promise to write a longer one some other time. Not next time because that would most likely be a lie, but another, that's a better promise than never.
