Chapter 8

A New Moon

Inuyasha leapt out of his seat, with the letter clutched in one hand. "What is this?! You lecher, are you trying to pick up Kag…I mean me! How dare you! Why I outta –

"Kagome!" The teacher strolled up the aisle with her hands on her hips. "That is enough. I will see you outside young lady, you too Hojo."

Hojo turned beat red as Inuyasha stormed to the door, followed by a bashful Hogo trailing behind the teacher.

Eri turned to Yuka "What is that all about?"

"I don't know, I guess Kags got hit in the head harder then we thought."

"Both of you hush, I'm trying to study while the teacher is out" Ayumi scolded.

"Geeze!!!" both Eri and Yuka replied rolling there eyes.

---

They exited into the empty hallway and as soon as the door clicked shut the room interrupted in anticipated chatter.

"Could one of you please explain to me what that was all about?" The teacher snapped. Her eyes blazed with furry at being disrupted during her own lesson.

"Keh, this human here," he jerked his thumb toward the blushing teen. "was trying to hit on me." Inuyasha crossed his arms and glared at Hojo.

"Hojo is this true?" Mrs. Kashi asked, it sounded like she didn't believe him.

The young teen blanched, and started rubbing his neck. "It wasn't like that. See, um, I was asking her as a friend. I wasn't trying to pick her up or anything like that."

"Feh."

"Do you have anything else to add, Miss Kagome?" The teacher asked in contempt. Apparently she didn't believe him.

"Well, other than the jerk is clearly lying to your face, and that your too dense to see it, then no I have nothing else to add." He smirked at the teacher whose face was now a deep scarlet. Smoke was almost coming out of her ears, she was so mad.

"Miss Kagome, I don't know what has gotten into you as of lately, but maybe it can be fixed in Detention."

What? Inuyasha thought. He had no idea what this Detention was, but by the guilty look on Hojo's face it mustn't be good. Kagome's gonna kill me when she finds out…wait…If she finds out. I don't need to tell her, do I?

The teacher turned to Hojo. "I will personally be making sure Miss Kagome makes it to the Detention Hall," and here she smiled. It looked like a snake demon's grin when they just corner their quarry. "I put you in charge of the class until I get back."

Grabbing his elbow, the witch – as he had come to know her – pulled him in the direction of his punishment. Inuyasha turned around just in time to see Hojo mouth 'I'm so sorry, Kagome.' before slipping back into the classroom. Feh, what a wimp! I can't believe Kagome picked this…this piece of meat over me!

---

"Here we are Miss Kagome, room 416." They now stood in front of a door; it was just like the other ones. Inuyasha was sort of disappointed. He expected whips, or chains, or something worse than this. Mrs. Kashi reached past him and pulled the door open, she waved him in.

"Now, I expect you to be in here until school ends. I'll tell the rest of your teachers where you are. Now get on with you." She have shoved slash lead him into the room.

Inuyasha looked around him. This was defiantly not what he was expecting "Detention" to look like. These humans defiantly do not know the word 'punishment'.

The room was stark bear of any kind of décor. Three rows of four desks sat in the middle of the room. Only two were taken. In one corner sat a man who looked to be around sixty. His feet were propped up on an empty desk, and he appeared to be…sleeping?

Well, he wouldn't be for long – the teacher cleared her throat. Inuyasha watched in silent humor when the man, waking in a panic, stumbled out of his seat.

She cleared her throat again. "Mr. Hao, I have a new student for you." Glancing sideways at Inuyasha, she said. "Please take a seat, Miss Kagome, you will be here for quit some time." And at that the witch swept out of the room.

Mr. Hao sat back down with a loud huff. "Thank goodness that woman left, she scares the heck out of me." Propping his feet up, he waved his hand dismissively. "Sit wherever you want Kagome, I've been here too long to actually care anymore what people do."

Inuyasha nodded and looked at the available seating. One kid was taking some advice from Mr. Hao, he was draped over the desk with his mouth slightly open releasing soft snores. The other kid was dressed all in black with the shirt sleeves cut off. A red bandana adorned his head pulling his long black hair away from his face. The kid watched Inuyasha with hard, interested eyes.

Going towards the far back corner of the room, Inuyasha went to sit three seats behind the strange boy. As he passed, the boy gave him 'the nod'. He wasn't sure what that meant exactly, but he knew it was something, so he gave it back. Inuyasha sat down and watched the time pass by on the clock mounted over the door.

---

When the bell rung Inuyasha leapt up and ran out the door almost screaming with relief. The whole time he was in there he felt like tearing his hair out. It was so boring; there was nothing to do and no one talked. If it wasn't for Kagome, Inuyasha would probably have left along time ago. Maybe these humans do know the word 'punishment'.

---

Inuyasha rushed out the front doors to the school. Students were clustered in groups all over the place. Talking, laughing, and just enjoying themselves. A pathway opened up that led to the sidewalk.

He was almost to it when he heard someone calling him.

"Kagome! Wait up, Kagome I need to talk to you!"

He growled to himself and kept on walking.

"Kagome!" Someone grabbed his shoulder.

"What?!" Snapped Inuyasha, spinning on his heel he came face to face with Hojo.

The young teen looked embarrassed and worried. Clearly he hadn't given up on his dreaming.

"Kagome, I'm sorry I got you in trouble, I really am." His eyes shifted down and he rubbed the toe of his shoe in the ground. "What's your answer to my note?"

Inuyasha smiled a wicked smile; his silence brought back Hojo's attention. "Well." He said while pulling out the crumbled up letter. "I guess my answer earlier wasn't clear enough." Inuyasha ripped the note down the middle in Hojo's face, and kept ripping it until it looked like graffiti.

Hojo looked down at the note tumbling to the ground " Oh…. I guess that's a no." Hojo said looking down at Kagome sadly.

Stupid humans and their emotions! Thought Inuyasha.

"Keh" muttered Inuyasha storming off leaving Hojo looking lovingly after her. Suddenly a breeze picked up pushing up the back of Kagome's skirt showing two pink butt cheeks. Inuyasha howled and leaped into the air while trying to push the shirt back down. Hojo who was watching her the whole time turned bright red. Inuyasha looked around and saw that Hojo had noticed the little accident. Inuyasha cursed under his breath and ran.

"Stupid skirt. Stupid kid thinking that he had a chance with Kagome. Stupid school!!" Inuyasha yelled.
