Chapter 2. The Victims

-Kagome-

"Everyone pay attention."

Ms. Kaede, our math teacher, shouted to the class. We instantly fell silent, she's very frightening.

"That's better. Now we have a new victim at our school."

"V-Victim?" Hojo squeaked from beside me.

"Yes…victim. ENTER THE ROOM!" She shouted to the 'victim' outside the room. We waited. No one came. The now very frustrated Ms. Kaede stomped to the door, pulling it open and bobbed her head outside to find the new kid.

"What the hell?" She muttered as she slammed the door and walked back to her desk. "He was just there."

"Are we done yet?" Seshora questioned.

"GO BACK TO WORK!"

When she wasn't paying attention any more Kikyo spun around to face me.

"I think she's a witch." She whispered.

"Probably" I said watching our terrifying teacher.

"Bet she cooks little kids in a pot and eats them."

"Yeah and has warts and green skin. She just has good concealer."

"Ha, ha totally. Big fat green warts all over."

"Oh my god." Seshora barley got the words out of her mouth. She was clearly in shock, but we ignored her.

"And her transportation isn't a car, it's a br…ah?" I slurred out the last part, the words slipping out like honey.

"A what?" Kikyo cocked an eyebrow at me.

"You dumbass did you just say bra? What does that have to do with anything?" I couldn't speak. I was completely zoned to Kikyo's words.

"Kagome? Hel-lo?" She said waving her in front of my face. She finally turned around to see what I was staring at. She gasped.

"Oh my god…" She breathed out.

"I told you so."

Seshora's voice was hushed. The three of us were in awe. Our silence spread through the entire class like a disease, rendering us with the inability to speak.

"WHY ARE YOU BUGGERS SO QUIET?" our teacher shouted out when she noticed our silence.

Her eyes followed ours and even she was at a lack for words.

Standing in the doorway of our math class, was a tall muscular boy with shiny silver hair. His eyes were astonishing gold and a carless expression graced his flawless face. He was the most… gorgeous man I had ever laid eyes on. I know boys don't like to be called gorgeous, but he was. The words 'handsome' and 'attractive' did him no justice.

"I'm Inuyasha, the new student."

And with those six words, he stole my heart.

-Kikyo-

I never believed in gods. I thought they were made up, like Santa clause to make kids behave and stuff. Yet now I am a true believer in gods, because there is one standing in my math class right now. And I mean that seriously. I don't think there are words good enough to describe him. He looked fabulous. Honestly breathtaking (even the boys are probably crushing on him). He's quite tall 6 foot something. With the most extraordinary hair I've ever seen. It's silver! But I know it's not dyed, you'd be able to tell if it was. And his eyes, such beautiful eyes! They're gold, sparkling bright gold eyes with a bit of amber in them.

"You're the new student?" Ms. Kaede said almost in a whisper. He nodded.

"Yeah, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha. What a name. He was so care free, like nothing could affect him. He leaned against the doorframe in a semi tight blue shirt, and a pair of worn blue jeans with a whole in the left knee.

"Why are you late Inuyasha?"

"I was thirsty." He shrugged, and lifted the coke can, shaking it to display its emptiness.

"Don't do it again." She said, pointing t an empty desk on the other side of the room, from where I was.

"Can't make any promises." He said as he walked over to his desk.

Everyone watched him Eri who was seated near him, was part of the whole staring thing. Suddenly their eyes locked on for a second or two. Felt like forever. Then he slowly let a half smile play on his lips and winked at her, then looked away. You could feel the heat from her blush a mile away.

"Class… get back to work"

We all reluctantly averted are eyes back to our papers. Well except Seshora. She was staring at him with a gaze that could have broken through a brick wall.

-Kagome-

"He winked at me!" Eri moaned as soon as we exited the math room. "He winked at me! At me!"

She grabbed my forearm, to keep her knees from buckling under her. Her reaction made Seshora roll her eyes. Inuyasha certainly had affected everyone in math, whether he intended to or not.

"Don't flatter yourself Eri." Kikyo said dryly as the four of us walked down the busy hallway.

"He only did it because you were gapping at him like a fish out of water and he wanted you to piss off.

"I was not gaping at him like a fish out of water, Kikyo. I was gapping at him like he was the most gorgeous human in the world. Oh wait, he is!" Eri retorted, making Kikyo roll her eyes. I chose not to interfere. I noticed Seshora practically falling asleep; I guess the subject bored her.

"And no boy would wink at a girl as a sign to piss off!"

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that he might possibly have a crush on little me."

"If you're little, Seshora's ugly. A man like him wouldn't think twice about a girl like you. And little? Everyone can tell you've put on weight."

"Hey! It's not fair to compare me to Seshora, she has a model body. And so what if gained a little wait? It means I'm going to grow taller. Quit being such a Bitch!"

"Do I really look that good? Thanks." Seshora smiled. She knew she always looked good, she just liked to hear it.

"How about we talk about something else?" I offered, the arguing was giving me a migraine.

"Your right Kagome!" Ayame said, appearing at our side with Rin tagging along behind her, "Lets talk about how fine that new kid is."

"Ooh! That one with the silver hair?" Rin cried, excitement leaking from her pores.

"No the guy with one eye, three arms, and answers to lucky. Who do you think she's talking about you donut?" Seshora retorted her voice filled with bitter sarcasm as we returned to the previous subject.

"His names Inuyasha, we're trying not to talk about him."

The girls smiled at the sound of his name.

"Good luck with that" Seshora breathed out a sigh.

They ignored her.

"You know him? How?"

"He's in our math class. And he was totally checking me out." Eri said, her smug look returning.

"No way."

"Yeah really. He winked at me. Ask Kagome." I nodded, making Rin squeal.

"I am so jealous he's adorable!"

"Definitely one of the cutest boys alive."

"One of? Try the cutest boy alive!"

We stopped at my locker, but the Inuyasha topic seemed would never end. Until Kikyo spoke.

"You girls are so immature." She huffed.

"How so?"

"Yeah, how?"

The tree of them crossed their arms, and frowned while they waited for a response.

"You sound like your in elementary school. 'Oh my god, he's so totally cute!'"

Kikyo mocked them, making her voice all high and girly, "It's flat out pathetic. You think someone like him would notice a group of girls who are all gaga over him like they're his groupies or whatever? Think about it. He obviously knows that girls are attracted to him so it's not like he's going to stress over getting some action. And since he can get some so easily get some, he's not going to pick a girl who'd orgasm at every move he makes. He's going to want a girl who'll be harder to get it's more fun for him that way."

The three girls had gone mute, except for Seshora, who was giggling at their embarrassment. I couldn't stand it anymore.

"I say we go to our next class now."

THE NEXT DAY

-Kikyo-

The way those girls acted yesterday over Inuyasha made me want to blow steam! Don't get me wrong it's not like there a big threat or anything. The only real problem would be Kagome or Seshora, but I'm not really worried. But watching them was pathetic. Inuyasha is a man, not a high school boy. I can tell by the way he walks, talks, and stands, even the way he looks. He's not going to spare one minuet of his mature life on some giggling schoolgirl. And that's where I come in.

If he wants a mature woman, then I will be a mature woman. It won't be that hard anyway. I mean, I already drink a low calorie French Vanilla cappuccino every morning, and read Cosmo girl. It's not going to be that hard for me to switch my cappuccinos to plain coffee and my girl magazines to an actual novel. Even though I don't know him personally, I know he wouldn't appreciate yet another stalker girl wondering what brand of boxers he wears. Or if he wears briefs. ACK! I need to clear my head of this boy. I need to be Naraku and my place. I quickly called Naraku.

"Kikyo?"

"Our place. Now."

"See you in a few."

Immediately hung up, and pivoted and went outside. A few minuets after I arrived, Naraku showed up.

"Didn't even have the courtesy to wait for me." He shook his head with fake disappointment.

"Whatever. It's an emergency."

"Do tell."

"I take it you've seen the new boy, Inuyasha."

"Attractive tall one with silver hair and groupies?"

I gave him one solemn nod.

"He's hard to miss, with everyone in school flocking around him like seagulls with dead fish. Must be one tasty fish."

"That's where my problem lies."

"You want him for yourself."

"You know me to well."

"well then what's the problem? You've got the looks and experience, why wouldn't he let you steal him?"

"I don't my ability to win him over. I just need to know what I should to do to make him want me more than usual. To know what kind of guy he is."

"And you want me investigate him?"

"It would help" He gave a sly smile, "Someone really wants the boy this time."

I felt my brows furrow at his comment.

"Come on Kikyo! I know his looks aren't the only thing driving you crazy. I'm sure are darling Kagome has something to do with this."

"I never said that."

"Didn't need to. Do you even know if she likes him?"

I pondered this for a bit. No doubt she thought he was attractive, she couldn't not. But was she really into him? She was too cute for me to think she wasn't a threat. I did not need her batting those big sad eyes at him.

"Does it really matter? I want him either way. I can find out if she likes him later when we're shopping."

Naraku grew quiet.

"I'll help you, because I wouldn't turn down a cry of help from you. But I refuse to do any sabotaging to Kagome. You'll be engaging war I she likes him you know?"

"…Yeah I know."

"So soldier, show some cleavage, and prepare to fight over Inuyasha's heart." He leaned in giving me a friendly kiss on the lips, "You're a bitch."

"And you'd like me no other way."
