Hey guys. Thanks a billion for your awesome reviews. Uh, I figured I'd better get the next chapter out quick, or you'd come at me with knives and pitch-forks.
Confrontation Part II
Kagome sat in her English class. Kouga was sitting behind her, and had been grumbling all day. Well, all morning, technically. She had heard he had got into a run in with somebody in the halls, and that Kaede had to come.
Kagome turned around in her seat. "Hey, what's the matter with you?"
Kouga looked up at her and scowled. "You know damn well what's wrong."
Kagome lifted a brow. "I do?"
Kouga's scowl deepened. "Yeah, ya do."
Kagome tilted her head to the side. "I have no idea of why you could be mad at me. Do you mind telling me what's wrong?"
The teacher walked in the room, keeping Kouga from answering.
"Okay class, open you God Damn books and get to work you slackers!" The teacher, Urasue, said as she scratched her bony fingers on the board, making a loud screeching noise.
Every demon in the room yelped in pain. Even humans shuddered. Kagome winced, and turned back to face Kouga.
"So, tell me what's wrong now." She said.
Kouga growled. "You know what's wrong! You kissed that mutt!"
Kagome looked surprised. How did he know about that? Word travels fast, you can say. Now, how to get out of this one?
"H-how do you know about that?"
Kouga snorted. "Word travels fast in a school that's practically called 'Lovers High'!"
Kagome frowned. "I did kiss him. It was just a game, on a dare."
"You two shut up! Get to fucking work!" Urasue yelled from her desk.
Kagome turned around in her desk towards Urasue. "Fuck off you fat bitch!" She said, turning around to face Kouga again.
"Kagome, how can you do something like this to me? I love you and you go out and kiss a mutt and call it a game!"
Kagome frowned even more. "I know, Im sorry- hey wait just a God Damn minute!" Kagome yelled, causing everyone to stare at her.
Kouga lifted a brow.
"You were with Ayame more than once! I even saw you one time! Dont you dare turn this situation on me!" Kagome yelled.
Kouga scowled. "That meant nothing! It was in the heat of the moment!"
Kagome's face turned red with anger. "Heat of the moment my ass! Every time you argued with me, you went to her! Admit, you've been two-timing me since the year started!"
Kouga growled and a dark look came into his blue eyes. "Kagome, get over it. You need me, you hear that? You need me. I helped you. No one else will want you, if they knew."
Kagome was quiet before she lifted her head up and looked Kouga dead in the eyes. "Fuck you." She said, turning around and staring at the board. She could hear Kouga growling from behind her.
Urasue coughed. "Kagome, since you seem so intrigued by Kouga, both of you get your sorry asses to the office! Now!"
Kagome straightened her black mini-skirt and got up. Kouga followed after her.
Urasue sighed. "Finally. Now class can start."

In the hall, things weren't going so well.
Kagome yelped as Kouga pushed her against a locker.
"Kouga, you've lost your fucking mind!" Kagome yelled.
Kouga growled. "No, you've lost yours! Who the hell do you think you are, questioning what I do and going to make out with some mutt!"
Kagome scowled. "You went and made-out with some wolf! Is it suddenly alright for you to cheat and for me not to retaliate to it?!"
Kouga was in Kagome's face in a matter of seconds. He gripped her arms. Tight.
Kagome almost whimpered under his stare. "Let me go." She said, in a monotone voice.
Kouga growled. "No. Not until you agree to never talk to that stupid hanyou again."
Kagome balled her hands into tight fists. "Shut up! Just let me go! I'll talk to whoever I so desire!" She yelled, looking around the empty hallways. No one to help her in this case.
Kouga growled as his claws pierced her skin from his tight grip. They went even deeper so that almost his whole finger nail was lodged in her skin.
Kagome shrieked in pain as her blood stained her black shirt. "Y-you're no better than him." She spat out.
Kouga smirked. "Go ahead, say his name. The one who made your life a living hell. The one who made you come to me."
Kagome spit in his face. Kouga growled and Kagome was somewhat lifted off the ground. His claws were sunken deeper into her delicate skin.
"Ahh!" Kagome shrieked, as the pain increased.
Kouga frowned. "Listen here, your mine. My property. Nobody touches my property. You got that? That means mutt face too. I suggest you get your act together and get in line, bitch!" He snarled.
Kagome's eyes narrowed. "I dont think it'll work like that. I've gone through this shit once, Im not doing it again!" She said, as she grasped Kouga's arms.
Kouga growled. "Get your hands off me." He said, sinking his claws even deeper into her skin.
Kagome smirked, weakly. "I will when you remove yours from my arms."
"I guess that's never!" He said, moving his claw around in her wound.
Kagome gasped and shrieked in pain. "Get... your... hands... OFF OF ME!!!!" She yelled, as a bright blue surge of power left her hands and sent Kouga flying into another set of lockers.

Inuyasha turned the corner as he whistled a beat he had heard on the radio earlier. He had decided to skip his second hour class, and go roam around the school. It was still the same day, Monday by the way.
Inuyasha kept walking and sighed out of boredom. Just then he heard a loud crash.
He whipped his head around and ran down the other hallway, to where the noise was coming from.
He reached the scene to see Kagome releasing a huge surge of energy and to see Kouga flying into another set of lockers.
(The crash before that was Kagome being thrown into the locker the first time.)
Inuyasha's eyes widened. She's a miko.
Kagome finally seemed to notice Inuyasha's presence. Her mouth had an 'o' shape, and her eyes were wide.
Inuyasha stepped forward. "Your a miko."
Kagome looked at some of the blood on her hands, then she looked up at him. "What of it?"
Inuyasha took notice of the wounds on arms. "Kagome! Your arms, did Kouga do this to you?!" He said, suddenly grabbing her arm and examining it.
Kagome let out a shaky breath and yanked her arm away, ignoring the pain.
"Inuyasha, I can handle myself. Why are you even out here?"
Inuyasha scowled. "Why Im out here isn't important, we need to get you to the school nurse!"
Kagome shook her head. "No. I can handle this on my own. I've done it before, this isn't different. Mind your own business, prep."
Inuyasha growled. "Why do you always do that?! One minute you're all bubbly and chummy, the next your solitary and wont let me in! Why dont you trust me?!"
Kagome bit back a gasp at his tone, and walked past him.
"I do this, to protect myself."
Is what he heard as he heard her boots clicking down the hallway.
I do this to protect myself.
I do this to protect myself.
The words floated in Inuyasha's mind. To protect herself? From what? Inuyasha watched her prone form walk down the hallway,clutching her arms.
Kagome...

Kagome walked down the hallways, clutching her wounded arms. She didn't think this would happen again. Not with Kouga.
Her hands were completely bathed in her own blood. The pain in her arms was almost unbearable.
Kagome kept walking, until suddenly, she was being thrown into a locker, once again!
Kagome scowled. God, is this national 'throw Kagome into a locker day?!' She thought as she looked up at her attacker. To say the least, she wasn't surprised.
Kikyou stood before her, along with Nazuna and Mayu. They all had angry and sinister looks on their faces.
Kagome didn't bother to stand up as she slid down the locker and slouched against it.
Kikyou scowled. "Look here, emo bitch. I dont like to sully my hands with the blood of losers, so just say you'll stay away from my Inuyasha and we'll leave you here."
Mayu and Nazuna nodded.
Kagome scoffed. "As if. I'll talk to him if I damn well want to."
Kikyou's face turned red from anger and she let out an agitated scream. "Nazuna! Mayu! Get her!"
Kagome made no attempt to move as Nazuna moved forward and clocked her upside the head. Mayu gave her a hard slap in the face, causing Kagome to spit up blood.
"Bitch!" Nazuna said, she sent a hard blow to Kagome's stomach. Well, there goes a couple of broken ribs.
Kagome coughed up more blood as the girls kicked and punched her. She couldn't fight back. She didn't have the energy.
Kikyou snapped her fingers and the girls stopped. "That's enough. I hope you learned your lesson to stay the hell away from what's mine, emo bitch." Kikyou said, flipping her hair back.
Kagome hacked up more blood in response to the ever bitchy girl.
Kikyou smirked. "Mayu, hon, give her one last reminder." She said.
Mayu nodded. "Can do." She said, before pulling a switch blade out of her pocket. Wonder how long that's been there?
Kagome watched her with uneasy eyes as she moved closer.
Mayu smirked as she ran the knife down Kagome's bare leg, starting from the very end of her thigh. Kagome hissed in pain.
"Ahh!" She shrieked, before she slouched back against the locker.
"Hope you learned your lesson, bitch!" Kikyou said, as she and her little goon squad ran down the hallway. Kagome watched their retreating figures as her vision started to blur.
She heard the bell ring, and she finally gave into the darkness of her vision that was calling her. She lay, sprawled out on the ground, with blood seeping from her wounds. Her hair was sprawled out around her.
As everyone exited class rooms, a blood curdling scream could be heard among the crowd.
Cliffy? I think so. So, sorry to jaimied1968 for making your wonderful Kouga somewhat abusive. But there's likely to be more of that. I bet everybody's ever curious about her past. Well, you wont know for a while! Review, and keep a lookout for the next chapter of 'Can You Help Me?' Entitled: Your Pain Is My Pain
Question Of The Day: How would you have reacted to Kouga if you were Kagome?
With that said, Sayonara!
