Chapter Three: Food Fight!
Kagome set down her water and looked at her lunch tray. 'Ugh. This school uses garbage for food, I swear,' she thought as she looked at the muck in front of her. 'I really should bring a bagged lunch.'
SPLAT.
She felt the same kind of muck she was thinking about was now on top of her head.
"Oops. Sorry, I tripped," Kikyo said holding a finger to her cheek trying to look innocent.
Right, Kikyo. Innocent? Please.
"Oh. That's just fine, Kikyo. I'm sure it was an accident!" As Kagome said the last word of her sentence, she threw some gruel at Kikyo that she scraped from her head.
"Oops," Kagome said, in a high voice and put a finger to her cheek, intentionally doing what Kikyo did.
"Ergh. You'll pay for that!" Kikyo screamed as she picked up the Styrofoam bowl full of gunk from a passerby's tray. However, it didn't hit who she meant it to.
Kagome ducked when she saw this coming. The bowl flew over her head, over the heads of sitting students, and onto a head of silver hair.

"How could she have said yes to you, and not to me? Me, Kouga!"
"I'm not gonna put up with this shit," said Inuyasha standing up to go who knows where. Then, suddenly, he felt some mush hit the side of this neck. He turned to see who had thrown the gunk while scraping it off with his nails.
"Oh, Inu honey. Look at your shirt, it's all messed up," Kikyo baby-talked.
"Feh. Just like your face." Inuyasha flung the goop he scraped off with a spoon he took from Miroku's tray. 'Perfect aim!' he thought as it hit Kikyo smack-dab in the middle of her eyes.
"FOOOOOD FIIIGHT!" someone shouted. All of a sudden, a riot was happening in the cafeteria.
Food, if you could call it that, was everywhere. People's hair, clothes, the walls, the ceiling, everywhere. Kagome, Sango, and Ayame went under the tables to hide from the mess, although much still found its way under. Kagome was wiping her hair off with the help of her best friends. Inuyasha, Kouga, and Miroku, however, were quite caught up in the fight. Especially since they've always wanted to start one, although never did... successfully.Kouga was standing on the table using spoons as catapults. Miroku was using a lunch tray as a shield, and then fling the food back that was thrown at him. Inuyasha was using his hands. Just grabbing and throwing. Typical.

"Now, what I hear from Mr. Ajire--" Mr. Tanaka started.
'Kouga? KOUGA? My friend, KOUGA? I'll kill that bastard.'
"Actually, it was just Kik –" Inuyasha started
"No. Just Kagome. Inuyasha and I were victims!" Kikyo said as she fake cried.
"THAT'S BULL –" Inuyasha exclaimed as he stood up.
"Watch the language, Mr. Taisho."
"Feh," Inuyasha grumbled and sat back down.
Kagome just sat there with her head hanging with her bangs covering her eyes. She was totally silent. She had never had to come to the principal's office for causing trouble. Never.
Inuyasha growled softly, just soft enough so no one would hear. 'Dammit, Kouga! Was this because of all this 'your woman' shit!'
"Miss Souresusu, I'm going to have to punish Inuyasha too," Mr. Tanaka said the Kikyo.
"What? But why?" both Inuyasha and Kikyo said.
The principal put a hand up to Inuyasha and continued his conversation with Kikyo. "I am not the only member of the staff that has noticed the..." he paused, searching for a word, "rivalry... between the two. And with the evidence shown, it is only sensible that these two might start a--"
"What? That's bull – I mean, uh, nonsense. Kagome and I did NOT start the fight. And uh," the hanyou said, then was trying to think of what to say-- but it had to bea fact that would get Kagome and himself out of detention. "Uh, we don't hate each other. We're even going to the prom together. Is that what two people who hate each other do?"
"Really?" asked the shocked principal. "Is this true Miss Higurashi?"
Kagome only nodded, her eyes still looking at the ground.
"Well then, I cannot figure out who started the fight whether it may be more than one person or not.But it is almost the end of term... So I suppose no one will be punished... severely."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Kikyo demanded.
"That no particular person of persons shall be punished with no evidence shown. But..." All students in that lunch period will have to help the custodians to clean up."
"So... That's it?" Kagome looked up, almost surprised.
The principal nodded. "That's it. Tomorrow before lunch, all of those students will be excused from their previous class to the cafeteria." he explained, "It sounds fair, doesn't it?"
Kagome nodded rapidly, more than happy that she was unsuccessfully framed. Kikyo stormed off, outraged that she couldn't get the goody-goody Kagome into detention. Inuyasha and Kagome just walked out trying to hold in their laughter.
"Is that gruel on the back of her skirt?" asked Kagome to Inuyasha.
"I think so," snickered Inuyasha.
The two looked at each other, still trying to suppress their laughter, but failed and burst out guffawing. After a good two minutes or so, they calmed down.
"Nice save there, dog-boy. You know I have never been to detention?"
"Thanks. And, really? You have NEVER been to detention since you moved here? Not once?"
"Nope. Not in five whole years. The last time I got detention was insixth grade at my old school." Inuyasha smiled like he was saying 'So you aren't that much of a goody goody.'
"But it was NOT my fault! I got framed! Almost like I did back there." She pointed behind her to the principal's office.
"Sure. You're just lucky that I saved your ass back there. We could have been 'framed' or whatever."
"But we WERE framed!"
"Well, I… Who cares, we're off the hook sorta, right?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
Awkward silence.
"Inuyasha?"
"Huh?"
"Are we friends?"
"Um, sure?"
"Ok, that's cool," Kagome said trying to hide her huge smile.
Silence… again.
"We still haven't washed off from the food fight."
"Oh yeah! Crap! The junk dried in my hair. Ergh. I gotta go find Ayame. She always has these great hair products in her purse 24/7. Later!"
Inuyasha watched Kagome run outside to find her friends that usually sat under a huge oak during the free time they had in the mornings and before and afer lunch.
"Better go wash up myself," Inuyasha mumble to himself as he felt his clothes that were dried up with his lunch.

"Yo! Ayame!"
"Oh hey, Kags! Are you in trouble?" Ayame replied when Kagome reached the tree.
"Nah, Kikyo tried to get me, but Inuyasha 'saved my ass' as he put it."
"What? Inuyasha stood up for you?" questioned Sango, clearly overhearing.
"Yeah. He said that we're friends now. One enemy down, one to go!"
Her friends stared at her oddly.
"Yeah, but now everyone has to help clean up... Not a horrible price though. I mean, we can still hang out then. And we get to miss third period!" Kagome said, explaining how it went in the principal's office.
"Oh, err, great..." Sango said.
"Ok then. I'm gonna go wash off. Hey Ayame, can I borrow your purse?" Kagome pointed at her messy hair.
"Oh! Of course! Me and Sango already cleaned up, but I'm gonna come with you. I kind of want to talk to you about our prom dates. Come along, Sango!"
The three girls headed inside towards the girls' restroom.
Inuyasha walked into the boys' restroom when he saw his two friends fixing their hair.
"Oh, excuse me, girls," Inuyasha joked when he walked past Miroku and Kouga, which were tying their hair into their usual rat and pony-tails.
"Hey, what's wrong with a couple of guys having nice hair?" replied Kouga casually.
"Yeah, what Kouga said. And plus, it was all messy with cafeteria food and stuff…" Miroku added.
"Feh. Whatever." Inuyasha stationed himself in front of the nearest mirror and started pulling gunk from his head, and running his fingers through his hair.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - /
"So, who are your dates? You never told me at lunch," Kagome told her friends while she brushed her hair.
"Oh, yeah. That's what we wanted to tell you," said Sango while she put some gloss on her lips.
Ayame nodded. "Yeah, they're Miroku and Kouga."
"Really? THEM? The guy who calls me his woman and the hugest perverted teenage pervert in the world? Kagome asked.
"Well yeah." Ayame and Sango nodded as they said this in harmony.
She chuckled. "Why?"
"Because! They're really not that bad, you know. And you have to approve, we approved of you and Inuyasha going out!" Ayame screamed, looking hurt.
"HEY! Me and Inuyasha aren't going out! We're just going to the prom together. As friends. And plus it's for a good cause!"
"You're talking like you're selling Girl Scout cookies, Kagome. And Miroku and I are going JUST as friends, too!" Sango said defensively.
"And same with me and Kouga!" Ayame said with a single nod.
"Sorry, guys. It's just weird that us three friends are going with like, a corresponding three of friends. Kinda spooky, don't you think?" Kagome said.
They nodded, but shrugged it off after their hair and clothes were clean... mostly.
