Chapter 2: Bad Rumors & A Warning
Throughout the gym, Kagome wasn't what the boy heard about from the girl who told him. As a matter of fact, Kagome is really good at what she's been doing lately. It was volleyball, and Kagome really showed her skills of the position on how to make sure she had. And because of it, the girl isn't liking it one bit, mentally though. She just wants to make sure she can get more out of her, but that'll have to wait until the time is right. While the girls are occupied with volleyball, the boys are in the middle of their volleyball as well. The boy is trying his best to stay focus to play along with the rest of the players. "Hey keep focus Takahashi!" One of the other boys said to get his attention.
Kagome keeps her focus as well, 'So his name is Takahashi. Or is that his last name?" She thought to herself. The teacher blows her whistle. "Okay you girls can get change." She said to them.
Kagome gets her clothes and backpack and heads to an empty stall. Unaware from behind, the girl takes out her phone. "Hey watch this." She said quietly as she follows Kagome. With the door locked in front of her, the girl sees an opening from above. She gets over the ledge and aims her camera phone to Kagome who was bending down to the ground, with her panties, and bra on. With a snap shot the girl quickly left the room. She goes back to her friends, "Check it." She grins as she shows the photo to them. One of her friends looks closely with her eye narrowing. "What's that thing on her back?" She asks. The girl looks as well. Before she said anything Kagome comes out and heads back to the gym. "I'll tell you later." She said as she's grabbing her belongs and getting out of the locker room.
While waiting out in the gym, the boy comes out. He's in a simply outfit of a red polo shirt, and jeans. His shoes are charcoal black sneakers. The same ones he wore for gym. He looks around to spot Kagome just sitting in the bleachers. "Takahashi, where are you going?" One of the guys asks him as he walks away. "For it's none of your business for your information." He responds, without looking back at him.
The girl comes out to see the boy walking up to Kagome. 'What is he doing?' She thought bitterly as she hides to observe for what he's going to do to Kagome.
Kagome goes into her bag to put out a notebook. After looking over what she has down so far, she had to memorize for something important. She then puts it back into her bag and stood up. "You're not leaving are you?" The boy surprised her as he comes up to her. Kagome looks down shyly, "I…I… was." She said back. The boy sits down next to her. "You were really good out there…" He couldn't speak the last part because he doesn't know what her name is. "It's Kagome." She ends it for him to know. "Kagome Higurashi." She said the full name now. "Okay. But I get the word from a friend of mine who told me about you." He said to her. She looks up to him, "So you're Miroku's friend." The boy chuckles, "Yeah, and I believe he didn't say anything about my name though." Kagome looks away slightly though. "All I heard was Takahashi." She said to him. "That's my last name. The first is Inuyasha." He properly introduces himself. Kagome nods, "Inuyasha Takahashi. That's quite a strong name." She compliments him. Inuyasha looks over Kagome shoulder, "And I know you're there Kikyo." He shouts the direction. Kagome turns around to see it's the same girl who gave her the cold shoulder when they met in the locker room. "So you didn't take my word for who she is, Inuyasha." Kikyo sneers at him. "Well it seems you're initially wrong about her, Kikyo." He snaps her calmly though. Kikyo chuckles, "Fine don't believe me. But as long as she's around, she's more than you think." She ends as she leaves them alone. Soon the bell rings to signal the upcoming class.
Inuyasha and Kagome are walking down the hallway heading to History class. AS they enter, they find Miroku in the back corner of the room. "Hey Inuyasha." Miroku waves to them. Inuyasha smiles as he and Kagome take a seat by him. "I see you met Kagome Higurashi." Miroku grins as he whispers. Inuyasha rolls his eyes, "Yeah, I have to admit that she's a killing while we were playing volleyball." Inuyasha comments for how she nailed the volleyball. "Well, Kagome I see you also took my word about that particular someone I warned you before we left class." Miroku said to her. Kagome nods. "Alright class we're going to begin with a new student." The teacher announces the class. "Kagome, who you please stand." Kagome immediately stood. "Kagome, I heard that you're a natural in who you and make sure no one will interfere with your destiny." The teacher said to her respectfully. Kagome nods and sits down back into her seat. 'What was he talking about my destiny? I don't know if I really have one to begin with.' She questions herself as she begins to work on the assignment.
After class, Kagome is getting her materials and head to lunch. She didn't want to make a scene as she enters the cafeteria and goes to a random table, even though it's empty. She pulls out her notebook that she had in gym and turned to a clean page. 'I can't let anyone know about this.' She thought to herself. While she writes and takes a drink of her soda, a shadow comes above her. Kagome stiffens and looks up to see it's Kikyo from gym. "Kagome is it?" She asks without a slight of expression. Kagome nods, "Well then, Kagome…" Kikyo comes close to her face to face. "…I'm Inuyasha's girlfriend. So if I were you, I'd stay away from him even if your life depended on it." She warns her at the last as she moves from the table and back to her own table.
Kagome did what she was told. Every class she had with Inuyasha, she kept her distance. Letting Kikyo roam around him like a lost kitten, she stayed away on the other side of the room. As she goes to her locker she had to avoid him at all times, as if she didn't even existed. She opens it and puts away her books that she doesn't need to work at home. She grabs her jacket and leaves the building. "Kagome wait." Kagome stops at the top of the stair case and turns to see it's just Sango coming towards her. She smiles, "Hey." Sango pants as she stops in front of her. "What are you doing this afternoon?" Sango asks her with interest. "I just go home and work on my music. Nothing in particular." Kagome replies as they begin walking towards her home, while Sango walks along by her side. By looking at the sad yet scared look on Kagome's face, Sango's curiosity gets the better of her. "What happened? You seemed cheerful this morning." Kagome hesitated for a second but wouldn't keep it to herself anymore. "I ran into Inuyasha in gym class. Miroku's friend he told me in science." Kagome explained so far. "Yeah what's wrong." Kagome blushes, "Well I was changing back into my clothes until some girl warned me not to be around him." Sango glares mentally. "Could you describe this girl?" She recommended her. Kagome holds her chin thinking before speaking. "Surprisingly, she looked like me. And yet her skin was paler than mine, and her eyes were freezing like from the arctic." Kagome finishes her explanation. Sango sighs quickly, "That must've been Kikyo Miko. She's supposed to be the popular girl in the school. I think she's just a slut, and she likes to get on anyone wrapped around her finger." Sango said to him. Kagome looks up to her.
Attentively she had to absorb as much information as she can. "She even has Inuyasha on her trail, not to mention she won't leave him alone. Claiming that he's her boyfriend. But he's not. He doesn't want to do anything with her, that much I heard from Miroku." Sango finalizes. Kagome nods. "Does Kikyo somehow come after you when you first went to school?" She asks Sango. Sango nods her head. "I'd be lucky when I first came." She answers as they come close to Kagome's front door.
