Hey guys. Im liking the response Im getting on this story. So, here's a promised second chapter.
Who Is She?
Inuyasha sat daydreaming in Art class. The kiln for the pottery was steady heating and Inuyasha was supposed to be watching it. So far, he had done a pretty lame job of it. His mind was stuck on the day before when he had met that weird goth chick.
Her being goth wasn't the only weird part about her, though. She seemed to up beat and more lively than some of the other Goths. Like Kouga for instance, he was really solemn and had 'who cares what you think?' attitude. That girl had seemed more interested in others then herself and the supposed sadness Goths had.
As to why he wanted to know her, he wasn't sure. Maybe he was curious about the way of the goth? Why should he though? Him and that girl were from two different worlds. He was of the popular, the most likely to succeed, the person that every guy and maybe girl, envied. While that girl was of a whole other life-style. She was one of he sad ones, the ones that everybody thought was so damn creepy, the ones that probably thought the most frightening things in life were the best things in life.
Inuyasha snapped to it when he finally realized that Miroku was waving a hand in his face.
"What? What the hell is wrong with you?!" Inuyasha shouted.
Miroku quirked an eyebrow. "What's wrong with me? A lot, but what's wrong with you? The kiln was ready to blow."
Inuyasha sniffed. "Feh, dont care. My dad could replace it in a flash. Im bored here, Im going. You coming?"
Miroku looked at Inuyasha as if he had sprouted a head out his ass. "You're just gonna walk out? Just like that?"
Inuyasha shook his head. "Of course not. I gotta work my way out." He said, standing up.
He hunched over three times as if he was getting ready to throw up. He covered his mouth and winked at Miroku.
Miroku smirked and nodded. "Uh, Miss Yukimura, Inuyasha is gonna puke!" He yelled.
Ms. Yukimura popped out of her seat. "What? What's wrong with him?! Oh, I hope he didn't get food poisoning from the cafeteria. His father will sue the pants off this school! Then I'll be out of a job!" She yelled, starting to weep .
Miroku sweatdropped. "Uh Miss Yukimura, shouldn't he go to the nurse?"
Ms. Yukimura stopped weeping and snapped her head up. "Oh, yeah, go to the nurse's office while I call the unemployment office."
Inuyasha only nodded and ran out the classroom. Once in the halls, he finally took his hand away from his mouth and wandered the halls. There was no way in hell he'd actually go to the nurse's office. He had a fear of needles.
Inuyasha turned the corner and ended up bumping into another goth. This one had brown hair and he had a smart butt look to him. Like he was smart about everything. Especially medicine. He was wearing blue jeans with a black sleeveless shirt. He didn't have any piercings like the average goth. He almost seemed normal, except the fact that he was in goth hallway and that a tattoo of a needle going through a heart was on his right arm.
"Who the hell are you?" Inuyasha asked. The boy sighed.
"Im Akkitoki. I have another name, but that one is none of you're business."
"Okay, Akkitoki, do you know any weird goth chicks?"
Akkitoki sighed with exasperation. "Be a little more specific. Do you begin to know how many goth chicks there are in this hallway alone? There's Yura, Kagura, Kanna, Tsubaki, Yuka, Princess Abi, but we call her Abi-hume for short-
"Okay dammit! I get it! There's a lot of goth chicks in this school. Okay, do you know any peppy goth chicks? Or something along the lines of that?"
Akkitoki shrugged. "There's only two of those that I know of, and trust me you DO NOT want to meet one of them."
Inuyasha opened his mouth to ask why but the bell rang and it was time for lunch. Inuyasha just shook his head and walked down the halls toward the lunch room.
333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333
Once in the lunchroom, Inuyasha could spot Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and the others sitting off at the 'popular' table.
He sat down and was greeted by everyone. Everyone including, Kikyou, Naraku, Onigumo, (I know, I know.) Hakudoshi, Byakuya, and Bankotsu and his six other friends, whose names I dont feel like typing.
Inuyasha just mumbled a 'what's up' and started to talk to his main group of friends.
"Hey, do you guys know anything about the Goths?" Inuyasha asked, taking a bite out of an apple.
Miroku spit up his milk and Shippo's eyes widened. Sango still seemed somewhat regular.
"You wanna hang with them or something? That's social suicide!" She yelled.
Inuyasha sighed. "I dont wanna hang with them. Im curious about one of them."
Miroku did his signature perverted smile. "Would it happen to be a goth girl you're curious about? If that's the case, then you need to be talking to me then."
Sango looked at Miroku strangely. "How would you know about goth chicks?"
Miroku shrugged. "I was experimenting."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Look, it's just a particular goth girl that I wanna know about. A peppy one, actually."
Miroku nodded. "So, it was a girl we're talking about!" He said. Sango sighed and slapped her hand on her forehead.
"Okay, i think I may know who you're talking about. There are only two peppy goth chicks in this school, and one of them you do not want to meet." She said.
Inuyasha nodded. "Who is the one I wouldn't wanna meet?"
"Rin Makota. She is obsessed with everything fluffy! Boa's, tails, hair even! I hear her latest obsession is with you're older bro, Sesshomaru." Sango said, sipping from a straw.
Inuyasha shuddered. "Okay, what about the other one? Would I want to meet her?"
Sango shrugged. "I suppose. She isn't as bad as most Goths, but she can be a little creepy at times. Mainly with her clothes."
"What does the goth you're talking about look like?" Sango asked.
Inuyasha shrugged. "Well, she's about 5 feet and has black hair that goes- hey wait! That's her!" He yelled, pointing at the very same girl he saw the day before.
Sango, Miroku, and Shippo whipped around to where he was pointing.
They all went "Ohhh!"
Inuyasha quirked an eyebrow. "What are you 'ohhing' about?"
Shippo turned around. "We know her. She's Kagome Higurashi. She's been goth ever since high school started. No one knows why she suddenly went goth though. She's certainly a mystery. But, ya gotta say, her and Kouga make a perfect match. There both extra creepy." He said, shuddering.
"So, her name is Kagome."
"How do you know her?" Miroku asked.
"Oh, the wench randomly rubbed my ears the other day. Didn't even tell me her name. Yet she asked for mine. Kouga was with her too." He said, balling up a wrapper and throwing it in the garbage.
They all nodded. Kagome was definitely the curious type.
"We used to hang out, back in junior high, she wasn't so different then. She just came back from summer break as a goth. That's when her and Kouga hooked up. Been together ever since." Sango said.
Inuyasha nodded. Then the bell rang. Inuyasha got up and walked out the cafeteria doors and into the hallway. He went to his locker in Goth Hall and grabbed his stuff.
His next class for the day was World History. Oh joy. As he sat in class, his mind wasn't even on the lesson. He was thinking about Kagome. So, her name was Kagome. He was almost positive that meant 'laugh'. Why would someone with a name like that be goth? But, that wasn't the only thing that bothered him. He knew her name, who she was dating, and a little more.
The question is, why did I want to know?
Done. Excuse the short chapter. I never have too much to work with in the beginning of a story. Anyway, review. And keep a lookout for the next chapter of 'Can You Help Me?' Entitled: Getting To Know You Better Part I
With that said, Sayonara!
