Chapter 5:
Mmmm…I love morning showers, I just feel so refreshed afterwards. I looked at the clock on the wall. 6:15 am it read. For once I got up before Sango. I went through the living room area, wrapped in my baby blue terry cloth towel, towards my bedroom; I took the left side. I turned on the light sat down on the bed and started to dry off. I decided to use my Cotton-candy Apple body lotion today. Today was special; this would be my first time going to school with other students. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal to some but coming from someone who hasn't done it in 17 years it was. After I finished with the lotion I walk over to my dresser and pulled out my underwear drawer; I think I'll put on my blue matching bra and panties with purple butterflies on them. When I finished snapping the last hook on my bra I started towards the closet.
'I need you and you need me. This is so plain to see and I would never let you go and I would always love you so. I will. If you could only see your heart belongs to me I love you so much, I yearning for your touch.'
My cell phone started to play Keyisha's part in "last night." I was wondering who was calling so early in the morning. It was probably Dad. I thought as I rolled my eyes. I walk over to pick it up. It read: Unknown.
"Hello" I said. No one replied.
"Hello?" I asked again. All I could hear was a soft breathing.
"Is this Kagome?" The voice said. I couldn't tell if it was a male or female.
"Yes. Who's this?" I asked. The caller hung up.
"Wow. Thanks for generating a phone bill." Some people. I looked at the clock again 6:30 am.
KNOCK, KNOCK
"Kagome? Are you awake?" Sango asked. She always wakes me up cause I usually oversleep.
"Yeah." I said going through my closet looking for an outfit.
"K. Just checking." I heard her move away from the door. I chose light blue tank top with white cherry blossom leave pattern criss-crossing in the front and circling the bottom of the shirt, the matching peasant skirt and my light blue-wedged heels. I sat down at my vanity/desk to apply on my makeup, which wasn't much, just mascara, eyeliner, and some lip-gloss. I combed my hair up and held it together with my dark blue banana clip that was studded with rhinestones on the edge. I put on a thin sliver chain and my sliver hoop earrings. I stood up and looked at myself in my full-length mirror, which was hanging on the back of my door. "Not bad." I grabbed my 3 essentials: keys, wallet, and cell phone; Never leave home without them. I opened my door and walked into the kitchen area where Sango was sitting on one of the wooden bar stools eating an English muffin with her Capt n' Crunch.
"Why are you so dressed up?" she asked after she swallowed the contents in her mouth.
"It is the first day of school." I said as if she couldn't why I shouldn't get dressed up. I walked over to the counter and pour orange juice in the glass that she sat out for me and pick and apple out of the fruit basket. As I munched on my apple I looked at what Sango was wearing; a yellow T-shirt, beige cargo Dickies© shorts and yellow and white Jordans. Her long brown her was in up in a high ponytail held up with a yellow band. She wore gold hoops in her first piercing; diamond studs in the second and a thin gold chain.
"What are you staring at?" She asked finishing off her breakfast.
"Nothing." I said. Sometimes I was so envious on how Sango could but on anything and she would look good in it.
"Whatever." she mumbles. She got and put her bowl in the sink and started to wash it.
"Kirara, come eat." she called out. A little ball of light yellow and black came out of Sango's room. Kirara was a little thing, in this form anyways, with and diamond shaped patch of black fur on her forehead and two stripes on each tail and paws.
"I'm surprised they let you have her in here." I commented.
Sango pulled out a bag of dry "demon" cat food. Never looking up from what she was doing she said "They don't."
"Ohhhh, Sango you snuck Kirara in here." I teased.
"So what. She would have followed me here anyways because she would have been lonely without me." She said stroking Kirara behind her ear; Kirara gave a content purr before resuming eating.
"Well I'm glad you brought her too. It wouldn't have felt like home without her." I said smiling. Sango smiled back.
"You ready?" she asked
"Yup. Got your three essentials?" I laughed when she held up her wallet, phone and keys. "Good then lets go." We both picked up our matching bags with our names monogrammed on them, so we didn't get mixed up, our books and we were gone.
(A/n: Ok…um… I'm going to go through everyone's day so I can introduce new people and enemies. SO I'm I'll try not to go into depth with it. Just a one class per character. It'll probably be 2 per chappie. Ok? Good.)
After splitting up with the group, Bankotsu went to his first class: Music/Chorus. HUHHH!!! He hated it; granted that he has a great singing voice it just that he hates singing in front of people. But of course, his mother signed him up for it; says it would give him just a little more culture in his life. He rolled his eyes as he remembered his mother's comment. Whatever. He stopped at a light brown wooden door with a plexi-glass window. He looked from his schedule to the numbers and words that were engraved into the door. 310 Music Room. Yup this was it. He went into the classroom, shutting the door behind him softly. He looked around the class; there were desk on raised platforms, each one raised higher then the pervious one. The teacher's desk was to the left of the entrance and, oh gods, a stage to the right. If they had to sing solo, Bankotsu was pretty sure the teacher would make them stand up there, in front of everyone.
"Your name?" Bankotsu turned his head to the left. There he saw a woman who looked about 40, 5'3, medium build with short blonde hair that was pulled into a stubby tail. She wore a green and red plaid button down shirt, faded jeans, and brown loafers. Bankotsu physically shuddered. This woman has no taste in style whatsoever.
"Yes ma'am. Sparks, Bankotsu." The woman looked down on her chart, searching for the name.
"Yes, here you are. Well you're the last to arrive so sit down anywhere you please. I'm about to start my lesson."
Bankotsu nodded and looked at the other students already seated. There were 12 in all. 6 guys, including himself and 6 girls. Great he thought. While everyone was in their own little world, Bankotsu took the seat that was in the middle; he'd be spotted either way.
"Attention!" the voice boomed. Man for a small woman she has a loud mouth. Everyone turned around in their seats and was silent. "I'm Mrs. Ingrid Swip. Welcome to Muisc and Chours. I've seen all of you video profiles, which is why you have been accepted into this class. I know your strengths and weakeness and I expect nothing but the best from each of you."
Video…Pr-profiles? Bankotsu paled. His mother must have recorded him singing one day without him notice. Dammnn, dammnn, daammmmnnn!!!!!
"Now can I have a volunteer to show me what they've got?" Mrs. Swip asked. No one spoke up. "No? Well then I'll just pick a name then." She moved her narrow finger down her chart. Please not me, please.
"Jakotsu Steel." she said.
Bankotsu looked around to see that one of the girls stood up and walked on the stage… but wait Swip said Jakotsu… that's a guy's name. Bankotsu looked at the girl… er… guy closer. Sure enough this girl was a guy; he just had very feminine features.
"What are you going to sing?" Swip asked.
"The second verse of You by Jesse Powell." (A/n: Love this song!!! I'm making Jakotsu sound like Jesse. Just to give you an idea)
Verse: Jakotsu
Next year let's call this day our anniversary
The day I put my heart in your hand and said that
It was yours to keep…
Bankotsu was drawn into Jakotsu's voice. It was so dreamy and powerful; he could have listened to it for hours. Bankotsu couldn't help himself… he stood up and began to sing along with him.
Chours: Jakotsu and Bankotsu
…Every morning you raise and open your eyes
I just wanna be there with you baby.
Just wanna be yours
From this day forth.
For a moment all Bankotsu saw and heard were himself and Jakotsu. Jakotsu looked at him for a moment more before breaking eye contact and walking off stage. Then He heard the appluase from everyone.
"Well, well. Looks like you two couldn't be a perfect pair." Swip praised.
"Maybe." Jakotsu said looking directly into Bankotsu's eyes.
Bankotsu could here the Captain's voice play in the back of his mind Be on guard 24/7, Miroku, up your guard a 1000 with girls, Bank with guys.
Oh, Man.

Sango sat in front of the class in Chemisty not because she wanted to be the teachers' pet, far from it; it was because of this guy who kept staring at her. He was at the last station lab in the far right corner by the window and for some reason she couldn't get out of his direct line of vision; she had moved 5 times already for pete's sake. Now that the whole class was filled she couldn't move anymore. Sango slowly looked over her right shoulder, and then she quickly turned back around. Damn! He was still looking at her. (A/n: know who it is?) Why does she always attract the weirdos? He was cute though, but that was beside the point.
"I'm going to start pairing you up into groups of two and assign you a lab table. This will be your partner and table for the rest of the school year." Mr. Shaffer announced. He started to knock off names and the students started to move to their assigned partner and designated lab table. Sango paled; she notice that the teacher was just randomly picking names; no pattern or nothing. Damn dammmnn damnnnnnnn!!!! (A/n: can you tell I like Good Times'?) If she gets paired with that weirdo she'll she'll…
"Sango Hana you are at lab table #7." Sango counted off the tables; she was at the last table on the left. Ok now whos my partner? "You're partner is… Miroku Sauna." Who's that? Who.!! Sango looked frantically around the room for anyone to move towards her. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! She frowned and then paled. The guy, the one who had been staring at her worked his way towards her table. I officially hate school .
"Hi. I'm Miroku. I look forward in being your partner this year." he said politely extending a hand.
"Don't touch me." Sango said through her teeth. The gods were punishing her for something she did or something she was planning on doing.
"I was only trying to be-"
"Save it." cutting him off.
"Now if you all will put on your lab coat and goggles. Ladies with long hair put it up in a ponytail so we can get started." Shaffer instructed.
While Sango was adjusting her goggles, Miroku was trying to image her in those goggles, and nothing else. He was practially drooling.
"If you don't stop undressing me with your eyes I'll dig them out with my nail file." growled Sango. She couldn't believe that she was stuck with him for a year.
"Now what were going to do today it make two inactive chemicals"; Shaffer held up a two beakers one was red and the other blue; "and make them active by adding a stable chemical to each." (A/n: Um…I'm not the chem whiz, far from it,…um… so I don't know if that's true or even possible but it's my fanfic so work with me here.) "Now, I'm sure you've read chapter 1 pages 5-45 correct?" Read? There was a reading assiagnment? Sango paled again she didn't know what to do. While Shaffer went on with more instructions, his assistant, a kid in his early 20s with brown hair carefully pass out the chemicals to each group.
"Don't worry. I'm a chem prodigy. You'll be fine with me around." Miroku whispered into Sango's ear. For some reason she actually trusted him.
"Ok now in front of you there are 3 stable chemicals in front of you but only one will activate the inactive chemical. This is your first test and first grade. You have ten minutes to choose the correct one. Ready? Begin."
Oh… my… gods! What was she to do. There were three of them: a pink one, a lilac colored one and another pink one but it was slightly dark. Each of them was marked with a different name: Blah, Blah, and Blah. That's what it looked like to Sango.
"What do I do first Miroku?"
"First mix the two unstable chems together. Two unstable will still be unstable."(A/n: I think.) He said; not really paying attention to what she was doing. He was too busy checking out her butt, thighs and legs. He wondered what it would be like to have them wrapped around his waist when they were-
"Miroku, now what?" She said disturbing his fantasy.
"Um…" He looked at the now purple liquid in the beaker. "Heat it up to 20 degrees celius (that 68 degrees F) he explained watching how her body moved when she reached for the proper equipment. He wondered just how flexible her body really was.
"Ok. It up to 20 degrees. Now what?"
"Turn off the burner and pour the stable chemical in it." he said going back off to perverted lala land.
" One minutes left."
"Which one is the stable chemical?"
"The pink one."
"There are two pink ones which one? The pink or the dark pink?" she asked holding them both up in front of his face.
"That one." he said nodding his head (A/n: he ain't paying attention ladies and gentlemen.)
"This one?" she said holding up the pink one.
"30 seconds people."
"Yup." he couldn't wait to talk her into his bed.
"Ok." Sango poured the pink liquid into the purple. At first nothing happened it just sat there. Sango couldn't believe it! Her dumb partner had chosen the wrong one; Chem prodigy my ass. Now she was going to fail. She's never failed at anything in her life. She saw as everyone else's beaker change from purple to and pretty golden orange. Stupid…stupid… wait something was happening the purple liquid in her beaker was turning into a different color. It change from purple to purplish blue, blue, bluish green, green, greenish yellow, oh he wasn't lying after all. Yellow, yellowish orange…yeah! They had done it, she wasn't going to fail after all.
"Miroku we did it." Sango exclaimed
"I told you'd be fine with me around" he smirked making her blush.
"Yeah well…" Wait. The color was still changing! Yellowish orange, orange, orange red…
"Miroku? Is…is it suppose to do that?"
"Do what my darling Sango?"
"That!!" Miroku turn in the direction of the beaker, his eyes going very,very wide as he snapped himself out of perverted lala land.
"OH. My. Gods…what did you do Sango?"
"I did what you told me too!!"
"I said put in the pink one."
"I did!!"
"The light one or dark one."
"Light."
"Shit!"
"What's going on here you two?" Shaffer asked. The three of them looked down at the beaker with wide eyes. Turning from orangeish- red to glup Uh- oh… RED!!!
"AH SHIT!!! They said in unison.
"EVERYONE GET OUT!!! IT'S GONNA BLOW!!!" Miruko yelled. Everyone in the room scrambled to get out of there. Miruko grabbed Sango's hand pulling her out of her seat and out of the room just in time before….
BBBBBOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!
Mirouk jumps on Sango protecting her from the explosion. Red and Black smoke was everywhere; the windows where blasted out, the lab door was blown off its hinges. Everyone in the neighboring classrooms came out to see what the hell was going on. While there was commotion above them, Miruko balanced himself on his forearms carefully trying not to squish the beautiful brunette. "Are you okay?" he asked with genuine concern.
"Everything will be all right with you around uh?" Sango said infuriated.
"Hn. Well you know. Mistakes happen." he said laughing neverously.
"You know what-" she was cut off by something rubbing on her butt. It felt like a hand, his hand!! (A/n: that's our Miroku.)
Sango rammed her left knee as hard as she could, right dead in his stomach. Miroku let out a whoosh of air and paled.
"Get off of me…You PERVERT!!!!" she yelled, shoving him as hard as she could, he ended up on the other side of the hallway because of it.
As Miroku laid on his right side, trying to caught his breath and relocate his spine, his Captain's voice played in the back of his mind: Be on guard 24/7. Miroku, up your guard to a 1000 with girls.
Oh, Man.
