Note: I do not own Inuyasha :: Enjoy!

Chapter 3:

[Kagome Point of View]

I sighed as I flopped onto my bed. I laid my head on my pillow, my legs up in the air. School had been okay. I had sat with Sango and Miroku at lunch; Inuyasha had sat with Kikyo. Biology was horrible, I didn't understand half the words my teacher was saying. But Art was very soothing so my day ended on a high note. Sango had walked me home, and we had exchanged cell phone numbers. I was excited to test out my new cell, but sleep over took my before I could reach out for my phone.

I woke up and looked over at my clock. 5:00. I had slept for only an hour, but dinner would be ready soon, so I went ahead and got up. I straightened out my disorderly clothes and threw my hair into a messy ponytail. I walked out of my room and trotted down the steps, the smell of dinner wafting into my nose. I smiled at the smell of Mom's cooking. I walked into the kitchen, greeted by three smiling faces.

"Konbanwa Kagome," My mom said as I sat down in my seat.

"Hey," I replied, looking at my plate. Mom must have gone shopping for more food because my meal was more elaborate than what I had bought yesterday. Rice, chicken and an assortment of vegetables were scattered on my plate.

"So how was your day?" My mom asked, picking up her fork.

"It was good," I told her, putting a piece of chicken into my mouth. I chewed it slowly, enjoying the flavor. Mom had the BEST cooking.

"Did you make any friends?" She inquired. I nodded since I was still chewing. I swallowed before I said anything.

"Hai, I met a really nice girl named Sango, Miroku, a wolf demon named Kouga and I also met a half demon. His name's Inuyasha." I grandpa slid a paper across the table to me.

"These should keep you safe from that half demon and wolf," He said. I laughed nervously.

"Thanks."

Mom looked over at Souta who was chewing on his vegetables.

"And what about you Souta?"

Souta shrugged.

"I met a boy named Kohaku. And some chick named Rin."

"Sango said she had a brother named Kohaku," I said. "Maybe that's him."

"Could be," Souta said, getting a spoonful of rice.

The rest of dinner was quiet and when I was done, I pushed my plate forward a bit and stood up.

"Well, I'm going to study," I announced before walking up to my room. I sat at my desk and opened up my geometry book. We were having a quiz on the equation we learned today, so I thought I'd study a bit. I looked over my shoulder at my clock. It was 6:30. That gave me 3 hours to study for my test. I looked at my book and got to it.

After a few minutes, I looked back at my clock. 9 o'clock. It had been almost 3 hours already? I didn't remember anything! I looked at my book and sighed in defeat. I closed it and placed it back in its original place. I got out of my chairs, it squeaking as the pressure was removed. I walked over to my bed and sat on it. I took my phone from my bedside table. Since I didn't have any texts or missed calls, I set it back down and crawled under the covers. Tomorrow was a new day. Yay.

[Inuyasha Point of View]

I woke up as the sun came through my window. I opened my eyes and squinted them at the unwanted light. I groaned before rolling out of bed. I walked over to my dresser and pulled out my clothes for the day. After settling on some jeans and a green polo, I walked into the bathroom adjacent to my room.

After I had changed, I took a brush and ran through my tangled hair. After it finally look decent, I walked out of my bed room, down the hall and into the kitchen. I looked at the table where Sesshomaru, my half brother, sat, reading the paper.

"Hey," I said, walking over to the counter. He nodded as he flipped the page in the paper. I took out a slice of bread and stuck it in the toaster before turning the knob to 4. I leaned up against the counter as I waited on my toast, my arms crossed.

"Anything new?" I asked my brother.

"Same." I told me, his voice even. He never showed much of any emotion. But you got used to it.

At that time, my toast popped up. I grabbed it up and walked to the door, picking my book bag off the table as I went.

"See ya," I told Sesshomaru, not even waiting for the response I probably wouldn't even get.

I walked to the two car garage that was attached to our house. I used my key-fob to open the door and waited as it raised higher and higher. Once it was up high enough, I walked in and got into my car.

Sesshomaru and I had identical cars, the only way you could tell the difference was by the tags. I had gotten to pick them out, so mine was simply INUYASHA and I had made Sesshomaru's FLUFFY, his childhood nickname. That he despised by the way.

I put my key into the ignition and my car revved to life. I popped in a CD and pulled out of the driveway. I had to pick Kikyo up just like every morning. It used to be fun seeing her so early in the morning, but now it felt like a chore.

I drove down a few roads and came to Kikyo's overzealous house. Since it was just Kikyo living there, the house was very feminine. It was white with navy purple shingles and shudders. The porch had a porch swing and numerous flowers.

I pulled into her driveway and honked my horn. She walked out of the door and over to my car. She was wearing a (really) short skirt and a shirt that looked a size or two too small. She was trying to show everything off, and I wouldn't mind except for the fact that she already has a boyfriend and we're going to school with all kinds of different boys.

When she sat in the seat beside me, her perfume hit me in the face. It smelled different than the others, stronger. I was getting a headache from the thick smell that I wasn't used to.

"New perfume?" I asked her, trying to keep my voice even.

"So you noticed?" She asked, sounding some what surprised.

"Yea, why wouldn't I?" I turned my signal on and turned the corner that took us to the school.

"You just don't notice much." She said like it was nothing.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I inquired. She just shrugged and looked out the window. We usually fought over stupid junk. It became almost routine. I sighed.

"You coming to my meet today?" I asked her as I parked in a spot.

"Can't." She said. I bit my tongue. She had been to all of two of my meets this year. Out of 10.

"Why not?" I questioned, trying not to sound annoyed.

"Going shopping."

"For what?" I asked. That's all she ever did!

"Just going with the girls." And she closed the door before I could retort. I gave a frustrated sigh and opened my own door.

"Hey Inuyasha!"

I looked over to see Miroku waving at me. I smiled and jogged over to him. He was dressed in jeans and a t-shirt that said 'the running man'. I tried not to roll my eyes.

"Hi," I heard Sango say as she walked up to us. She was dressed in knee-length shorts and a purple v-neck. Miroku looked her up and down like he did every day.

"Hello Sango, might I—"

"Nope." Sango said, cutting him off. Sango looked around for a moment before looking at me.

"Kagome isn't here yet…" She said as she looked around me for a second.

"And…?" I asked her. She looked slightly annoyed.

"She's my friend and she's new. So we need to help her out till she knows the school." Sango looked over at Miroku who was looking at something.

"I found her," He said in a monotone. I looked over and my ear twitched in irritation.

[Kagome Point of View]

I scrambled around the house, brushing my teeth and getting dressed at the same time.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" I yelled at me brother for the millionth time.

"Sorry, I forgot!"

I moaned as I looked in the mirror. My hair looked horrible and I didn't have time for a shower, so I grabbed up a hair bow and threw it up into a ponytail.

I ran out the door, barely grabbing my book bag and Souta struggling to keep up. I had made it to the end of the drive way when a red sports car pulled up. I was surprised when Koga leaned out the window and smiled at me.

"Need a lift?" He called. I nodded and ran towards the car, Souta trailing behind. I sat in the passenger seat and Souta climbed in the back. Koga placed his arm on the back of my seat and started driving.

"Like the car?" He asked me. I nodded.

"It's nice." He smiled as we pulled into the school parking lot. He pulled into a spot and Souta scrambled out.

"Bye Sis!" He called before running off to a boy and a girl.

"I see the mutt and his crew," Koga snarled as he spotted Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku. Sango and Miroku looked a little shocked while Inuyasha looked… annoyed? No, jealous… no, it was annoyed.

"Well," I started as I opened the door. "Guess I'll be going, thanks for the ride." I tried to get out of the car but Koga grabbed me by the wrist.

"Hey Kagome, come cheer me on at my meet, will ya?" He asked. I simply nodded before he let go and I crawled out of the seat. I walked over to my friends and smiled slightly.

"Hey guys," I said. Miroku and Sango waved and Inuyasha's ear twitched in the slightest.

"Why were you riding with him?" Inuyasha asked. I raised an eyebrow.

"I was running later, and I was an easy way to be here on time." He seemed to calm down slightly, but I still thought it was odd that he even cared that I rode to school with Koga. I didn't get a chance to ponder long because the first bell rang and we all scampered on to class.

[Inuyasha Point of View]

I was unusually annoyed that Kagome had ridden to school with Koga. Cocky wolf thinks he can just hit on any girl he wants, huh? Keh! I'll show him when we get on the track later.

We were in Geometry now and I looked over at Kagome who was scribbling in her notebook. She had said she'd been running late, but she looked really nice.

Her hair was in a ponytail with showed more of her face and she had on a baby blue shirt that went good with her skin. She was wearing a black skirt and black converses. I stopped staring when Mr. Totosi said my name,

"Inuyasha, can you tell me the answer to this problem?" He said, using a ruler to tap the drawing on the board.

"Four."

The teacher nodded and resumed his lecture. I took a deep breath. I was soooo good at guessing.

School was over and I was in the locker room getting ready for the meet. Sango, Miroku and Kagome all said they'd be there. I slipped on my jersey that had the schools colors, red and blue, on it.

Koga walked in, situating his hair into a higher ponytail.

"Ready to lose wolf boy?" I asked him. He rolled his eyes.

"Please, I can out run you any day, Mutt."

"Keh! In your dreams." I said.

"And in real life, Dog boy." And that's when the coach walked in.

"Okay boys, let's go." Myouga said. We all nodded and walked out of the locker room. We walked outside and the light hit us in the face. I squinted slightly but opened my eyes once they adjusted.

We walked to the track where the other team was already practicing. We were up against Shikon High today, but they were easy to beat. Myouga told us to warm up and we did so. I strated stretching out my legs and Koga came beside me.

"I see Kagome's cheering for me," He commented. I looked up and sure enough, there was Kagome. Though she wasn't cheering much.

"Whatever, she's here to cheer me on." I told him.

"Thought you had a girl to cheer you on." Koga retorted.

"She sold me out for shopping."

"Ah, that's cold." He said and the whistle blew.

"All 100 runners please report to the line, all 100s." Someone said over the loud speaker.

"We're up," Koga said. I nodded and we walked to the line. We got there and a man was getting everyone lined up.

"Heat one, 3 Tokyo and 3 Shikon," he said. He took Koga and placed him in the first line followed by a scrawny looking Shikon kid, then me, a boy with black hair, A boy from my English class named Ginta, and another Shikon kid.

I looked over at the Shikon kid with black hair. He turned to me slightly and smirked. I shuddered. That kid gave me the creeps.

"On your mark," The announcer began. "Get set… GO!" And the gun shot off and so did we. I ran as fast as I could, easily staying in the front of the group. I pushed myself as hard as I could until I was over the finish line. I took a breather while the other heats went. The announcer was handed a clip board and the loudspeaker clicked on.

"100 places: 3rd, Naraku from Shikon High, 2nd, Koga from Tokyo High. And 1st Inuyasha from Tokyo as well."

I made a fist. "Yes," I said happily. I looked up at Koga who was eyeing me enviously and the black haired kid who was apparently Naraku who was talking to another kid from Shikon High.

The rest of the meet went by well. Since the humans were on separate teams, there meet wasn't until tomorrow so Miroku and Sango could watch. Kagome cheered the whole time. For me or Koga, I wasn't sure, but it was comforting to know she could be possibly cheering for me.

I won my 200 race as well, Koga placing second again and Ginta making third. After the meet was over, the announcer turned on the loudspeaker to state the scores.

"Shikon High – 15; Tokyo High – 35"

Our team cheered at our victory.

I had been talking to someone in my P.E. class when Miroku, Sango and Kagome walked up.

"You did great!" Sango said.

"Way to make them eat your dust Inuyasha," Miroku complemented.

"You were awesome! Glad I was cheering for the winner!" Kagome said. So she had been cheering for me… huh.

"I say we celebrate our victory," Sango stated. Miroku nodded.

"I say we go out to the local café," He suggested. We all agreed and started walking to the café. Once we were in my car, Miroku smiled.

"On Inuyasha of course."

Great. I win the meet and I still get ripped off.

That was chapter 3… how was it? R&R!
