Chapter Three:

"Kikyo, " A girl named Toshi exclaimed, tapping her idol on the shoulder mid-sentence. "Excuse me Ms. Blabbermouth; can I not get one word in? I swear some people..." "Umm...Kikyo, there's someone, a girl, and Inuyasha, and umm, leaning..." She trailed off as Kikyo got the picture and looked at the boy she had a steady, but not faithful relationship with. Then she saw the girl hanging over him. 'And what does she think she's doing?' she thought to herself, walking over to Inuyasha. The silver haired boy stood up quickly, but the raven-haired girl slowly dropped her feet from the desk parallel to her and pushed herself up off the desk she was sitting on as if her flesh and bone had suddenly been replaced with lead.

"Hey Yasha baby, I was just thinking about how much I missed you and -" Kikyo stopped short; giving the girl he was with a small smile. "I'm sorry, I didn't even see you. I'm Kikyo, Inuyasha's girlfriend." She purposely emphasized the word girlfriend, hoping that the intruder would get the idea that he was hers in more than one way; that they weren't simply dating; he was her property, so to speak. Before replying to Kikyo's introduction, she raised her eyebrows at Inuyasha. "Yasha baby? That is priceless!" Turing her attention back to Kikyo she simply said "By the way, name's Kagome, just transferred." The two girls shot daggers and dirty looks at each other while the boys were silently making bets on who would win if they were to fight.

The glares ceased as a soft but firm voice butted in. "Kikyo, I think you're wanted over there." She said, pointing to the corner from which she came. Kikyo faltered...she couldn't possibly argue with Sango, she was too nice and plus, the jealous senior had nothing against her. "Ok Sango, see ya later Miroku, Yasha baby." Kikyo regarded Kagome as if she weren't even there. Giving her boyfriend one last deep kiss reminding him of his duty to her, she sauntered off, hips swaying.

The 'peacemaker' Sango was a tall, thin girl with dark brown hair pulled into a high ponytail, and she was wearing a gray pleated skirt that was fashionably short and had two safety pins shaped like an 'x' just over the hem, a plain pinkish orange taop wop with a square neck-line, white tights, and mary janes. She held out her hand to Kagome. "Hi, I'm Sango, nice to meet you." Kagome took the girls hand and shook it. "I'm Kagome, it's cool to meet you too" she replied. She liked Sango already! She was very strong, despite her frail appearance, and had a tight grip.

Turning away from her new acquainta she she slapped Miroku. "And by the way you lecherous bastard, don't think I didn't see what you did to her. What must she think of us now huh? First she meets the Almighty Monk, Wandering Hands, then that bitch from hell?!" She lowered her voice on the latter, not wanting to cause trouble. "Hey, it's not my fault she came over here..." The boy shot back. It was a weak attempt to keep the girl from beating him through the floor about Kagome. "Wait a minute...monk? He's no monk. He groped me. No way he's a monk. If he's a monk I'm...." Kagome racked her brain for something to compare herself to. "I know! If he's a monk, I'm Kikyo." Inuyasha tuned out Miroku and Sango's bickering, and grinned, amused with the comparison. For one, he couldn't stand Kikyo unless her mouth was shut. Or doing something...else. Kagome, on the other hand, he liked. He wasn't sure why he liked her or even what he liked about her, considering he didn't know anything but Miroku's ranting rumors and her name.

His chain of thought was broken as the obnoxiously loud bell rang, signaling the end of homeroom. Inuyasha instinctively pressed his sensitive dog ears to his head to avoid permanent hearing damage. Sango looked at her new friends schedule, and saw she had her first class with Inuyasha. "Alright. You have Art first period, and that's with Yash. He'll take you to class. We all have second period together, so I'll see you then, ok? I’ve gotta run!" Sango grabbed Miroku's arm and dragged him out of the classroom, dodging in-between people shoving to get out the door.

"So, umm, yeah, I'll take you to class." He wasn't sure why, but he was having a hard time coming up with something to say. He always knew what to say. Amidst his insecurity, he got frustrated. "Stupid wench, can't even find her own damn class..." He muttered to himself, grabbing Kagome's wrist, only to have her wr it it away from him and for him to grab it again, and pulled her out the door and down the hall. "I'm going to ignore the fact you just called me a wench, fortunately for you I might add, and introduce myself. I'm Kagome and you’re...." She trailed off, waiting for him to complete the sentence. Silently, she filled in the blank for him. 'Hot. I'm Kagome and you're hot.' "I'm Inuyasha." He finally replied. "Ok Inuyasha, was that so hard? And by the way, I like your shirt... and your ears Dog Boy." She said with a smile.

Yasha was wearing a black short - sleeved Metallica shirt with a red long--sleeved shirt underneath. His pants were baggy and black with red stitching. "Don't. Call. Me. Dog. Boy. Bitch." He spat the words at her as they entered the noisy classroom and sat down in the only two empty seats left, which were right next to each other.


"People, people settle down!" A small woman wearing all black with cat ears, claws, and small fangs said in a tiny voice, trying to be heard. "We have a new student, and she's going to tell us a little bit about herself." The woman, who's teacher ID card said Ms. Takanami, set her hands on Kagome's upper arms and pulled her up. "I'm Higurashi Kagome, I'm 17, I don't like teachers, school, or being put on the spot. I do like parties, music, and not having to talk about myself in front of the class." Satisfied, she plopped down on her chair and shooed the frowning woman away. "Go! Teach!" Most of the class giggled at the new girl's lack of disrespect and sense of humor while the rest was in shock. Inuyasha was in the first group.

While the teacher passed out blank sheets of paper to the class, Inuyasha resumed where he and Kagome had left off. "Did you hear what I said? Never call me that again!" "Call you what? Dog Boy? Would you rather I call you Yasha Baby?" "I don't like that either." He answered. "Well you didn't seem to jump down Kikyo's throat. Rather, she jumped down yours." She giggled. "That was the most disgusting display of tonsil hockey I have ever seen, and it only lasted 5 seconds! Where did she learn how to kiss? A dark ally?" Yash was about to defend his girlfriend, but was interrupted.

"What is a beautiful flower such as yourself doing with a pathetic piece ofyou you shit like him?" A boy with long dark hair pulled into a high ponytail said, jerking his thumb towards Inuyasha. "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Kouga, leader of the Wolf Demon Clan. I..." Kagome was sure he was going to say something even weirder, and therefore was thankful Inuyasha stepped in. "Hey, Wimpy Wolf, why not back the fuck off and leave her alone? She's with me." With this last statement Kagome looked at him for answers. He returned her curious gaze with one of his own that told her to shut up and go along with him. "Oh yeah dog crap? Why do I doubt that? Maybe because you're just a pathetic hanyou and I'm the real deal? Oh, and Kikyo has you wrapped around her little finger?"

During the whole thing, Kagome noticed the entire class had gotten silent, and the teacher wasn't even in the room. Stopping the certain bloodshed was up to her. Standing up between the two, Kagome held up her hands. "Now, you two, I like a good fight as much as the next person, but I don't want to have to pick up any dog parts...' with this she looked at the snickering Kouga, 'or wolf parts. And frankly, blood and gore is definitely not the way to go right before lunch, and I think the rest of the people here will agree." The class laughed nervously, not very sure how effective Kagome's little speech had been. Giving Inuyasha one last threatening glare, Kouga turned to Kagome. "Very well, my darling, only because you wish it, but...' Turning to Inuyasha, he continued '...this is not over."

Sighing with relief, Kagome noticed that the teacher had made a timely entrance. The class seemed to let out a collective breath as Inuyasha sat down and began to draw. Kagome drew a cute picture of Inuyasha and herself in which she was tugging on his ears. When she showed said dog demon, he drew another picture, of said girl, being hit upon the head with a large rock.

In short, the rest of the class went well, with minor bickering between Kagome and Inuyasha. Their next period, which was an equally easy class with an equally lenient teacher, was computer class. Because there were assigned seats, Kagome got stuck next to Kikyo and her groupies. During the whole class, Kagome got to hear things like "I heard she used to sleep with her teachers to get good grades" and "Look at her clothes! Where does she shop? Good Will?" If Kagome hadn't been sure they were talking about her in the first place, her suspicions were proven when someone inquired as to who this girl was, and Kikyo replied "That Higurashi girl, of course!" Kagome would have throttled the gossiping girls if she and Sango hadn't been communicating via e-mail. Finally, class was over and they were off to lunch!
