Chapter 2

**Kag Pov**

The only thing I could hear now is the sound of my breathing as I ran faster. My heart was beginning to ache, but I tried to ignore the pain. Run faster. Faster. Faster. Faster! My mind was screaming over and over again trying to make me run faster. I picked up my pace, moving my arms quicker, and my feet started to move faster.

Then, I felt my legs slip from under me, and I landed on my butt. "Ow!" I began to rub my butt trying to ease the pain and get that red mark off that was probably on my ass right now. My mind started to scream again, Run! Run! He is coming for you! I started to stand, but I felt someone's warm breathing on my neck and stopped dead in my tracks. It made my hairs on the back of my neck stand.

I turned around to face it. It was like a giant and had hair all over his body. His eyes were glowing red, lighting his face in the night. He put his face closer to mine and I saw him clearly. His face was big and had two horns on top of his head. I could hear a snarling noise coming from his chest. He took his two big hands, so that they were towering over me. I could clearly see the sharp claws that were attached to his hand. The demon took back his hand getting ready to slash me.

I closed my eyes, getting ready for the pain I was about to endure. Instead of feeling pain on my face, I heard the demon's footsteps step back, instead of going forward. I quickly opened my eyes, and I saw someone in front of me fighting off the demon. He had long, silver hair that flowed down his back. I saw two ears on the top of his head that twitched a little to the sound of the demon's snarling.

I backed away slowly trying not to make a sound. I leaned against the tree and got a closer view. The boy with ears on his head was still holding off the demon. I could hear him snarling back at the demon to try and scare it away. The demon slowly pushed the boy down to the ground until he was on his back. The boy still was holding hands with the demon using all his strength in his arms to get the demon off of him. As he was on the ground, I only a glimpse of the boy's face. I stared wide-eyed at the hanyou. He still looked the same as he did 3 years ago.

I quietly whispered to myself, "Inuyasha." Inuyasha was still struggling against the demon, but he wasn't winning. Slowly the demon drew back his claws and scratched Inuyasha's face. I saw blood coming from the hanyou's face and Inuyasha made a face that I knew he was in pain. I automatically screamed, "Inuyasha."

I suddenly woke up to find I was wet all over with sweat. I looked around me to try and remember where I was. I could see a desk across from me and closet full of clothes. I was in my room, thank god. I looked to my clock and it was 7:10. Damn, I'm late. Not again. I rushed across the room, and threw my uniform on the bed. I quickly dressed and brushed my teeth so fast that I probably didn't even brush them well.

I grabbed my school stuff and ran downstairs and suddenly smelled a cloud of pancakes that filled my nose. I heard my stomach growling from the smell of the food. I arrived at the end of the steps to see the sight of my mom cleaning the dishes. I missed my breakfast. Now I am going to be really starving.

"Kagome, you're late. That has been two times this week. This isn't a great to start of the last day of the week.

I rolled my eyes as I grabbed a piece of toast from the table. "I know I know. Stop nagging me about it. I think I get the idea. Now can you please drive me to school." I put on a big smile, and closed my hands together like I was praying, so she could agree to drive me to school.

"Okay, since you asked nicely."

"Yay," I said as I put both my hand in the air, like I had won the lottery. "Also, can you quickly make my lunch right now?"

My mom put her hands on her hips and said, "Kagome, it's either pack a lunch or a ride to school. Which one?"

"Ugh, fine. I chose school."

My mom quickly grabbed the keys that were on the table and opened the front door. I rushed towards the door because I wanted to get shot gun before Shouta did . I guess both of us had the same idea becausewe got stuck in the doorway. I put my hand on his face and pushed him back, so that I would go through the door first.

I ran to the car and as I opened the passenger's seat, I looked back to see Shouta running towards the car. I smiled and shouted, "I get shot gun!" Shouta sighed and said, "Not again."

He opened the back door and buckled his seat belt. I turned around and smiled, "Maybe next time, little brother." I put my hand on this head and patted it like he was a little dog. "Kagome, stop doing that. It makes me feel like I am a little child."

"Well you are a little child." He stuck his tongue out at me and I did the same.

"Both of you are children, now let's get going." I could tell my mom was getting impatient. I turned around and my mom started driving to school.

When we arrived at school, I raced to the front door. I can't miss Mr. Brown's class. When I opened the door and got in, I looked around and headed down the hallway. I ran to my first class. I stopped at the front door, and slowly walked in with my head held high. Maybe he won't notice if I act casually. Sango waved to me and I waved back. Then she pointed behind me and mouthed, "Mr. Brown."

"Mr. Higurashi." Mr. Brown said in a deep voice. I bit my bottom lip and my head went down. Damn it, he noticed. I turned around to face him with a big smile on my face. "Yes," I said in my most pleasant voice.

"I'm so happy that you could join us Ms. Higurashi," Mr. Brown said with an angry face. I was thinking to myself, Well I'm not. Then, I heard people giggling around me, and I looked around to see people covering their mouths to stop themselves from laughing.

I looked back at Mr. Brown and he looked even more angrier than he did 10 seconds ago. I looked at Sango, and I saw her biting her bottom lip. I just realized I had said that out loud for the entire class to hear. I looked back at Mr. Brown and he just handed me a white slip and turned away to walk back to the chalkboard.

I stared at the slip in my hand, and all I saw was, Detention. I started to pout and sat behind Sango. I put my backpack down and put my hand on my cheek. This is not a good day. I made sure my face had a frown on it.

Mr. Brown stood up in front of the class and said, "Now as I was saying, please take these notes that are on the board because this will definitely will be on the test." Everybody groaned. "Oh now, come on. You need to know this stuff in the future." Mr. Brown started to write on the whiteboard again.

I didn't even bother to pay attention in class, not like I usually did anyway. Instead, I just began to daydream and let my mind wander. I found myself starting to doze off and began to fall asleep. Before I fell asleep, the last thought that came to my mind was Inuyasha.

I felt a hand on my arm and then began to shake me. I felt the person start to shake me more and more vigorously. "Kagome, wake up. Class if over." I opened my eyes and it was blurry. I felt a little groggy. I began to rub my eyes, and stretch my arms out. Ah, stretching feels so good. I yawned really widely that made my eyes water. "Kagome, you need to learn to stay awake. Don't fall asleep, you so don't look cool when you sleep. You know that you drool a lot and it looks disgusting. Drooling won't get guys to notice you.

"Well, I am not trying to get boys to notice me. I don't really care." I was still rubbing my eyes because I felt sleepy.

"Of course you care, every girl should care. Now Kagome, let's go, we need to go to our next class."

I gathered my stuff and swung the backpack over my shoulder. "What did I miss?"

"Well not that much, except you miss everything we need to know about the test we are having on Monday. Kagome, you are hopeless. Good thing I took all my notes, so I know that I am prepared."

"Well since I know you are a great friend, and really responsible enough to take notes. Maybe you could come over to my house on Sunday, for a study session." I put on a big smile, and put my hands together like I was praying, just like this morning. Please work.

"Fine, since you said I was such a great friend." She smiled back at me and we both walked down the hallway to the next class.

I tried to think of school-related things but I found myself thinking about the same thing over and over again. Ugh, why did I have the same dream twice this week. Why did it have to be about Inuyasha. I sighed, Inuyasha, where are you? I kept walking when I thought, Wait a minute, what class am I going to? Is it history or chemistry? I bet Sango knows.

"Sango, what class are we going to?" She turned around and gave me a 'Are you shitting me look?' "Kagome we are going to gym, you know one of your favorite classes."

"Oh yeah." I started to walk again, when I realized I needed to go to my locker. "Shit, I need to grab my gym bag from my locker. Hey can you come with-" She was already walking the other direction waving with her hand in the air signaling, 'Don't blame me if you're late.' She shouted back to me, "You can go by yourself."

I sighed and ran back to my locker. I crouched to the ground and put in the first two digits, but I couldn't remember my last digit. What was it? Damn it, I should have wrote it somewhere.

"It's 14-27-9." Who said that? I turned around and leaned my head back to see who it was.

"Oh hey Kouga. Thanks, I couldn't remember my combination. Dumb, I know." Wait a minute, how did he know my locker combination. I shrugged it off, so I didn't have to deal with it. I wanted this day to end with no more pain.

I put in the last digit and took out my gym bag. "Alright, since we are in the same class, I walk with you."

I smiled and said, "Okay, let's go." I pointed down the hallway in the direction we were supposed to go. "Off to gym." I started walking, when I realized Kouga wasn't following me. I turned around and had a confused face on. "Come on Kouga, I already got a late slip today, I don't need another one."

"I know but, gym is this way," he said that and pointed in the opposite direction.

"Oh, I knew that." My face turned into a smile then into a frown. I sighed, I'm not having a good day.

We arrived at gym and I saw people chasing each other around the gym. Some were doing nothing. Others were wrestling. And some demons and humans were playing soccer together. There were passing and dribbling and juggling. When a pair of demons were passing the ball, one demon didn't trap the ball and it came rolling towards me. It stopped, when it hit my foot.

"Uh, sorry Kagome."

"Oh no, that's okay. Just remember to not lift your foot up so much." I smiled at him.

He smiled back, "Okay, I'll do that." He picked up the ball and ran towards the other demons. Just like how it happened back then? I felt myself begin to smile.

"Well, I guess we won't be together today, since it's 'special' day."

"That's today?"

"Yeah we have it every Friday. Hey, are you okay, you are kind of spacey today."

"I know, I'm sorry. First it's being late, then the locker, and now it's this. I'm sorry I'm kind of spacey."

He just smiled and said, "Yeah I know, it's okay. I guess I'll see you around then?"

"See you around." He took my hand into his and pressed it against his lips. "Good." He walked to the other side of the gym, and I walked towards Sango and Miroku to see Sango smiling, and Miroku by her about to touch her ass.

When I reached them, Sango's face was flushed with anger. "Don't touch my ass ever again!" She slapped him across the face and he put his hand against his cheek and rubbed it. "Oh, my dear Sango, I did no such thing. I thought I saw something on you."

"On my ass, I don't think so!" She drew back her hand and was about to hit him when the whistle blew.

"Okay, demons on this side and humans on the other side. Today, we are going to train on our special skills today. For the demons, you guys are going to go against each other in a one-on-one battle with each other. No blood, killing, or injuring okay?" All the demons just groaned and said, "Fine." The gym coach opened his mouth again and announced, "For the humans side, you guys are going to be working on your own powers. Go to your specific areas."

I don't want to go. I am not in the mood today. I whined to Sango, "Don't go practice with your boomerang, come and practice with me. I don't want to be alone."

"You won't be alone. You will have the great Kikyou." She said sarcastically. I stuck my tongue at her and she did the same.

I slouched and walked toward the targets. I saw Kikyou sway her hips back and forth with her wannabes following behind her. She walked towards me and looked at me with an annoyed look on her face. She turned around and looked at her followers and said, "Look you guys we have to work with that bitch, but don't worry I won't let her bother me." She walked towards me and said, "Let's not make this any more painful than it has to be."

Man, she pissed me off. "Kinda hard, when you're standing in front of me with that shitty thing you call a face. Just don't get in my way and if you cross me, I will bring you pain." I moved towards her and fake punched her that missed her my a centimeter. She flinched looking scared and I walked away with a smirk on my face. I could feel Kikyou staring me down with a death stare. I shrugged, whatever.

Ms. Sanders came up to us and said, "Okay girls, today this is your end test for the semester. Each of you will pick up one arrow at each target and shoot. You will do this for all the targets and will be rated on your shots. Please try your best because this is going to count towards your final grade." She looked at her clipped board and flipped through the pages, then said, "Now first is Kikyou."

Kikyou walked towards the first target with her sways swinging back and forth. Slut, I said to myself. She shot every target and got a bulls eye for everyone except for one where it was just on the outer rim of the center.. She walked back to her friends and they said, "Wow, Kikyou you are really good."

I just rolled my eyes and walked towards the targets. I shot the first 4 targets right at the bulls eye. For my final target, I breathed in and looked straight ahead. I squinted my eyes and inhaled. I focused on the target and was about to shoot when I heard, "Don't mess up!" My focus was broken and my hand slipped and totally missed the target all together.

I walked over to Kikyou who was smirking and yelled in her face. I was so furious. "What the hell was that for! I was going to get 5 bulls eyes, but nooo you had to say something from your stupid ass mouth and mess me up!"

"I didn't do anything." Kikyou said in an innocent voice.

"Oh please, don't give me that crap!" I looked back at Ms. Sanders. "Can I please have another shot? Kikyou messed me up, I couldn't concentrate."

"I am so sorry Kagome, it wouldn't be fair if you got another shot. This was a test and not practice." What the hell! I stormed off and headed towards Sango and grabbed her arm.

"Come on, let's just go to lunch!"

"I am guessing you didn't have a good time with Kikyou."

"Why would I? She's such a bitch. Just because Kouga likes me more than her doesn't mean she has to ruin my life. I didn't have to do anything with them breaking up in the first place."

Sango had a fist up and said, "Well, do you want me to kick her ass for you? Cause I could make her never see the light of day again."

"No, it's okay. Let's just go to lunch." My stomach started growling. "Like now."

We walked in the cafeteria and I saw demons scrambling just to get in the lunch line. The lunch line must have been a mile long. Great, I can't get lunch with all these demons. Sango must have seen me frowning because she asked, "Do you want to share lunch with me?"

"You're the best."

"I know." She said smiling. Sango handed me the sandwich, and I snatched it from her. I am so hungry. I scarfed down my sandwich and finished it in about 10 seconds. Sango looked wide-eyed and said, "Wow, you were hungry."

"Well, I didn't get the time to make my lunch, since I was late this morning."

"Here, you can have mine. I am not hungry, since I had a big breakfast this morning." I looked across the table and saw Miroku sitting by Sango. I counted in my head, 1 2 3. I heard a slap that I pretty sure everyone in the cafeteria could hear.

"Damn you, Miroku! Don't touch my ass! How many times do I have to say it?"

"You know you wouldn't have to say it, if you just let me." I saw Miroku hold up his hand and do a squeezing motion and I knew exactly was he was thinking about. I heard another loud slap and saw Miroku rubbing his cheeks where they had red marks on them. He will never learn.

I looked around the cafeteria not knowing what else to do and saw Kouga staring at me. I looked back at my sandwich and then took another glance to see him still staring at me. I just smiled at him and he smiled back at me. I wish someone would smile at me like that.

I started to doze off letting my my wander, when I was interrupted, "So..."

"So...what?"

"I saw Kouga looking at you and you looking at him. He still totally likes you. You looked like you were daydreaming and thinking of a certain someone." Sango moved her eyebrows up and down and smiling at me. "I think that you should go for it and go out with him. You guys look so perfect with each other."

"I don't want to go out with Kouga. I already said no when he asked the first time. If you like him so much, why don't you just go out with him."

"Come on Kagome, I don't like him. I'm trying to make you happier."

"That won't make me happy."

"Well, ever since he left, you have been kind of spacey and sad."

"I am happy, does this look like a sad face to you." I put my fingers on the corners of my mouth and shaped a smile on my face. Sango just rolled her eyes and let it go. For the rest of lunch she kept babbling on and on about her brothers being really annoying and her mom working so much.

The rest of the day was pretty boring. All the teachers could talk about was tests, tests, and more tests. I just wish we didn't have to take tests. They are so boring and useless.

Once I finished packing my books in my backpack, I headed outside to find Sango and Miroku waving at me. I waved back at them as I reached them.

"Hey Kagome, let's start walking home."

"Ugh, I can't. I have detention today remember?"

"Kagome you can't leave me alone with this pervert."

"I'm sorry you guys. Bye." I ran back into my high school and went to the classroom for detention. I arrived at the room and walked in. I just sat down at a random empty table. I looked around to find all these people had at least one piercing on their body. Ugh, I hate today. I began to doze off and then fell asleep for the second time today.

I woke up to find nobody was in the class and just a teacher staring at me. I quickly took my bag and rushed out the door trying to ignore him, so I could avoid any more troubles for today.

I headed down the sidewalk. I eventually just got bored and started humming music in my head. Then, I stupidly threw my hands up in the air like I didn't care because I got Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus in my head. Even though I don't really like that song, it had a nice tune. I felt my body begin to move all around. Eventually, I just let it all out and started dancing crazily down the sidewalk. I saw a couple of boys laughing, when they walked by. I could just hear in my head Sango saying, "Don't do this. It won't make boys want to date you." Obeying those words, I decided to walk down the sidewalk like a normal person.

When I looked up, I saw a teenage boy walking towards me with a red shirt on, a leather jacket, and jeans. He had headphones in his ears. He was bobbing his head up and down to the beat of the music he was listening to. Except he didn't have regular ears, he had doggy ears on the top of his head and long, silver hair down his back. He must be a demon.

As we passed each other, I saw a glimpse of his face. I stopped dead in my tracks. Wait a minute he looks like...

I turned around and stared at his backside. His hair and his ears on top of his head looked exactly like, Inuyasha. It couldn't be. Except my body didn't believe my mind. I ran towards him picking up my pace. Now my was beginning to race faster.

As he turned the corner, I saw him staring right at me. I looked into his eyes for only a second and he turned the corner. When I turned the corner, all I saw was an empty sidewalk. No one was here. Where did he go? He couldn't have gone that far. I looked around me, but I didn't see him. He was gone. He disappeared. Just like three years ago. I turned around and walked back towards my house. It wasn't him. But I know that was him, he had the same eyes as he did three years ago. I don't care. But then why does my chest hurt?

I kept walking down the pathway and then felt a single tear drop stream down my face. Inuyasha.
