Chapter 9: Not Taken Seriously
The following morning, Mrs. Higurashi called the school to let them know that Kagome is still recovery from her sore throat. Meanwhile at school, Sango is in the music room thinking of things to do on her own since her friend's still home. "What to do." She repeated in her mumbling. Even the music teacher is having a hard time to teach his school. But he mad sure that he's still on focus on his work. As the class ended. He calls Sango. "Yes. Is everything okay?" Sango asks him as they take a seat. "I'm just concern about Kagome's condition. She's my star pupil along with you as well. I just want to make sure that she'll be well enough to participate in the talent show which is next month. You two must come up with a something in your voices and musical skills so you two can have the winning prize." He requests her. Sango can see why he's desperate for this future event. "You have my word. I'll let Kagome know about it." She assures him as she leaves and heads towards her next class. The Music Teacher smiles behind her, "Kami please help recover Kagome Higurashi's voice." He prays and resumes his work.
Miroku is at his locker, grabbing his supplies for his following class. "Hey there Miroku." Inuyasha greets him. "Hey. I'm just getting whatever for Science." He replies as they walk down the hall. "So how's Kagome feeling?" He asks him worryingly. "She's still weak from her sore throat. All I heard from Rin is that she'll be well enough by next week." Inuyasha explains the situation. Miroku nods. "I can see how she managed through that painful experience. She's strong-willed I'll give her that. But there's something else that I can't my finger on." He lustily describes her. Inuyasha friendly punches his arm. "Shut up. I know what you're gonna say. But I prefer to say it myself." He claims to him. Miroku shakes his head with grin. "I knew you care about her. But I bet it's something more." He explains it to him as they enter the Science Room.
By the end of the day, Inuyasha stopped at the office to retrieve Kagome's missing work. As he leaves the office to get to his car an unwelcoming voice stops him. "Inu-Poo wait up!" It calls out to him. He groans and turns to see Kikyo coming towards him. "What do you want? I'm busy." He said as he stores his and Kagome's belonging into the back seats. "Oh come on. You need to lighten up." She temps him as she wraps her arm around his own. Inuyasha yanks it off. "I just told you. I'm busy as in helping with my family's company. I hardly have anytime to spend by the likes of you." He said meanly to her, and practically lies to her. Inuyasha has his way to manipulate anyone and it works extremely well on Kikyo. She pouts, "You're too mean to me. Why is it that you don't want to spend time with me? I'm better than that skank Kagome Higurashi." Hearing that insult boils his blood from within his veins. He grabs hold of her neck, squeezing it tightly. "Don't you dare speak one word about her. If you ever get her on her breaking point, I'll personally kill you with no regret remorse, especially no mercy. DO I make myself clear?" He threatens her darkly as well as his Golden eyes became bloody red with teal irises for a second. Kikyo manages a weak nod. Inuyasha let's her go, as in dropping her to her knees. Inuyasha gets into the driver side of his car and drives away.
Not after Inuyasha drives away, Kikyo glares at him. She's persistent on what she goes after. "You okay?" Kagura asks as she helps her up onto her feet. Kikyo wipes down the dirt off her skimpy shirt and skirt. "I've got another plan. And it has to do with the photo I took in gym class the other day." She said as she pulls out her cell to show her the photo of Kagome striped to her panties and bra, even with that thing on her back. "Want me to send that to you?" Kikyo asks her nicely to Kagura. Kagura nods, "Sure. If you want I can get a better view on what is on her back and give you the results by tomorrow." She suggests her leader. Kikyo grins back, "I'll be grateful for that. Besides I've a plan to use it against Kagome. She may have told Sango about it, and Sango must've told Miroku, and he probably told Inuyasha about my scheme. But this time will be different." Kikyo explains on what's going to do. And by the looks of it, it's not even good one bit. Kagura heads back to her car. "I'll get the results in before you know it." She shouts to Kikyo from her driver side window and waves good-bye. Kikyo grins even more and goes home in her car.
Inuyasha is back home in the office room getting things sorted out for the family business. His father is the President while Sesshomaru is his Vice President. The workers give uncountable loyalty to them both. And because of that, Inuyasha is technically the next one for the business, but it's up to him. However his brother and father would think he'd be making the biggest mistake of his life. That has to be put to the side because he's still in school. He finishes off filing some his family's worker's files and heads back to his bedroom. Looking at the time, it's only 4:30 pm and grabs Kagome's missing work. He passes the kitchen that his mother is making tonight's dinner. Izayoi spots him before gets to the front door. "Where are you going, Inuyasha?" She calls him. He turns around, forgetting his keys. "I'm just going to Kagome's to give her homework. Nothing more." He replies to her with a smile. Izayoi smiles back, "Okay, Just be back home by dinner." She reminds him in the end. "I will." He said back to her and leaves the house and drives to Kagome's house.
At the Higurashi Residence, Ai is busy making her family dinner as well. The doorbell rings, telling her that someone's at the door. "I'll get it." Sota claims as he gets the door. He opens it to find it's Inuyasha. "Hey there Inuyasha. Are you looking for Kagome?" He asks him politely. Inuyasha nods, "Yep. Is she still in her room resting, but I think she'd be awake by now." He assumes to the little boy. "She might. She'd be happy to see you." Sota guides him down the hall towards his older sister's room. He knocks on her door. "Who is it?" Kagome asks from inside. "It's me." Sota claims at first. "And me." Inuyasha adds. Kagome opens the door. "Hey there. What brings you here?" She asks Inuyasha as she shoos her brother away. Inuyasha pulls out more of her missing assignments. "I just wanted to give you your work. I'll stop by again to help over the weekend to help you on your subjects." He offers his assistance. Even though Kagome's recovery looks away blushing, "I'd like that very much." She thanks him. Inuyasha grins from her embarrassment. "Just let me know when you want me over." He asks her with his grin still on his face. "How about around noon?" She looks back to him with hopeful eyes. He smiles back down and kisses her cheek. "I'll come by then." He whispers and leaves the surprised girl and leaves from her sight. Kagome shakes her head and takes her stuff back into her room and set it on her desk. "Is it just me or did he just kissed?" She asks with disbelief. Never in her life has she ever been kissed. She blushes like her red lips. All she can do now is to join her family for dinner.
