Through Blood and Tears
Chapter 4: Chaos
Halfway through the lunch period, Kouga took a moment to approach Kagome's table. Feelings of hatred were mutual between the wolf demon and Inuyasha as their fight from Saturday night was still fresh in their minds.
"Hey, Kagome," Kouga greeted, standing next to said girl and taking one of her hands in his. Inuyasha jumped from his seat and stalked over to the other side of the table. Unfortunately, Miroku wasn't able to grab him in time.
"What the hell do you want, mangy-wolf?" the half-demon snarled as he tore Kouga's hands away from Kagome.
"None of your business, dog-breath." Inuyasha's anger flared as sparks flew between the two. The raven-haired beauty stood up and tried to step between them, soon realizing her efforts were futile. "Besides, my Kagome would much rather be with me then you." Kouga smirked at his own remark and crossed his arms across his chest.
Inuyasha's temper boiled. My Kagome?! Did that flea bag just say, My Kagome? The half-demon couldn't take the pressure much longer and punched Kouga square in the jaw. He reeled backwards, taken off guard. A confident smile appeared on Inuyasha's face, but it quickly vanished as the wolf demon took a swing at it. A small circle formed around the quarrel as they continued to throw limbs at one another. Kagome tried to break them apart, but was afraid of getting injured herself.
Kikyo, outraged by the attack on her former beloved, immediately ran off to help Inuyasha. "Get away from him," she warned, storming after Kouga. The enraged woman was stopped in her tracks, however, as someone gave her hair a hard yank from behind. She whipped around, wincing in pain, to find a furious red head smirking at her.
"You're not going to hurt Kouga," Ayame said with a sneer before Kikyo clawed after her. Sango caught a glimpse of the cat fight and rushed to help, ready and willing to beat the living hell out of the dark haired woman. It was two against one as Miroku jumped in to break them up. The only thing he could think of, with his perverted mind, was to grope Sango. Her temper flared as she smacked her boyfriend upside the head, screaming a slur of curse words to follow.
Kagome watched in horror as her friend were being torn apart. Hakkaku and Ginta finagled their way threw the crowd. As soon as they saw their pack leader caught in a brawl with the half-demon, they jumped in to help. Kagura and Naraku fought to the front of the crowd as well and dashed after Kikyo's assailant. Before any one could stop her, a petite young woman ran from the crowd, her expression scared and her eyes pleading. "Stop it. Everyone, just please stop," Rin cried, squeezing her eyes shut to block out the images. She tripped over her own feet and fell straight into the quarrel between Kouga and Inuyasha. Kagome shut her eyes, afraid for the fate of the bubbly girl.
Not even a second later, the young woman opened her eyes just in time to see Sesshomaru dash in with lightening speed, whisking Rin off the ground just before she was pummeled by a shuffle of footsteps from the quarreling men. He glanced her over, making sure she was alright, before quickly turning around and heading in the direction of the fight. He was determined to stop this nonsense.
It was an all out frenzy between everyone as a huge circle gathered around, groups of students pointing to different points of the fight. Kagome's eyes darted between the clumps of battling flesh, anger flaring in her heart. She darted out into the middle of it all, hoping she wouldn't get hit.
"STOP IT! ALL OF YOU!" the raven haired beauty screamed at the top of her lungs. The entire room silenced, everyone stopping where they were and the group of students circling the area backed off, leaving Kagome's friends to fall victims to her fury.
"What is going on in here?" a booming voice echoed through the cafeteria. Every one's attention immediately centered in the direction the voice had come from. Fear clouded the students' faces as they realized who it was. Principal Katsu.
Nobody dared moved, afraid of the lashing his anger could give. "I want everyone up on their feet and stay where you are." The group reluctantly obeyed, ignoring the clumps of hair and blood scattered across the tiled floor. More teachers filed into the room. Obviously, the lunch ladies had become frightened by the events they witnessed and had called down every teacher that was on their lunch break.
Principal Katsu brought a walkie-talkie up to his mouth and said a few words to the deans and a few teachers. "Surround the Cafeteria; don't release any of the students until I give the okay." Nobody heard what he said except those with acute hearing; which included Inuyasha, Kouga, and Sesshomaru. They bit back a groan, knowing they were going to be in deep shit.
One of the female teachers came up behind the principal and handed him a clipboard. "Now, who is going to tell me the one behind this mess?" His beady eyes wandered over the crowd in front of him. Everyone was too afraid to speak up; either because of being the tattle-tale or facing Inuyasha and Kouga's wrath. The room kept silent.
"Well, it seems we have a bit of a problem. You see, I am determined to get to the bottom of this and when I do, everyone who was involved will be sure to pay the price." The school's staff and students knew that when the principal put his mind to it, he could accomplish anything.
He took a pen and set it against the clipboard. "I am going to take down each of your names before you can leave." The entire student body that was present in the cafeteria groaned. Their school was quite large and they only had three lunch periods to fit everyone into. This was going to take a while.
A/N: I know, another short chapter. But this sums up the last of them. The next few chapters will be much longer. Hope you enjoyed and please review
