Kokoro (Heart)
Chapter 2


Kagome streaked after Sango, accelerating her motorcycle. Kagome laughed freely, knowing it would be lost in the wind. They were riding down the deserted road, there were no cars, so of course they wouldn't go the speed limit. 'Good thing the school is so far away, but my bike can handle it, she's top of the line.' she thought to herself. Kagome popped a front wheelie, her ass high in the air, telling the wind to kiss it. Kagome remember it was one of her boyfriends that taught her how to ride, he moved away and Kagome sometimes felt a pang of missing him whenever she rode.
Once back on two wheels, they slowed down a bit, cruising donw the road, past the large body of water. The came over a hill and a large building stood past some gates. "Whoa." Kagome said as they came towards it, Kagome breatehd in deeply, salt filling the air from the water nearby. The slwoed to a stop once at the gate, there stood a small booth, where a lady was sitting, with pink lipstick on and a feather in her hair. "Name please." came her cold voice. "Kagome Higurashi and Sango Tumoi." Sango answered, since she was closer to the both. The lady began tp type on the computer. On the small desk top there was a little block that said 'Kagura' on it. "Ok, all seems to be in order." she said snapishly. Kagome bit her tounge to keep from speaking some unind words to the woman.
The gates slowly slid open and Kagome and Sango sped through, reving their bikes and disrupting the quiet school grounds. The rode up the path and saw a parking space where gurads stood guard. The slowed to a stop and looked at eachother raising their visors. "What the fuck is up with the guards?" Sango asked motioning her head towards the parking places. "I guess our bikes are gonna sit out in the rain for two years, fuck that." Kagome scoffed. They replaced their visors and neared the guards. The drove and saw a large shed they where a few bikes were already parked, they looked familiar to Kagome. Then she saw the midnight blue bike sitting in a parking space and she kind of felt her heart race a bit at the thought of seeing the silver haired boy again. 'Snap out of it Kagome, all men are scum. Someone that looks THAT good as got to be a manwhore.' she said to herself, parking her bike and turning the engine off. They had decide to wear their bikeing suits that they had ordered specially off the internet, just to make an entrance to the school.
Kagome's was black with a red stripe going up the side of the skin tight pants, that laced in the back, showing a the small of her back. Her top was corset type and laced in the back also. Sango's was black also, but her pants were just a bit longer and hers laced in the front and so did her top, but not all the way down, just over a small bit of cleavage. The suits were sexy, and covering, the reason they'd got them. Sango took off her helmet and sighed, "Man, I'm really going to miss riding." she said getting off the the bike and getting her bag off the back. Kagome shook her hair out of her helmet and got off also. "Sango, that's his bike, he's here." she said pointing over to it. Sango looked at it and whistled, "Nice bike." she said. "Sango! It's the guy that I met yesterday, you know, the REALLY hot one I told you about." she said. Sango's eyes went up. "Oh yeah, does he have a friend?" she asked. Kagome shrugged we'll just have to find out.
They walked from the parking lot and up the walkway towards the large school. The opened the door and were met with a large atrium. The floors were wooden and polished to shine. The walls were painted a deep gray. The walked down the hall and saw a door with the word 'Office' over it. Kagome shurgged at Sango, then walked in. A woman with short black hair was sitting at the deskm writting on some form. Sango cleared her throat, starling the woman. "Oh, sorry I just get lost in my work sometimes, how may I help you?" she said, her voice was bright and welcoming. Kagome kind of relaxed a bit. "Umm, we just got here and we need our room." Kagome said. "Ok, names please?" she asked. "Kagome Higuarashi and Sango Tumoi." Kagome said. The lady types something then looks through some cards and pulls two out. "Lucky, you two are roomed together. You're rooming with Inuyasha and Miroku." she said reading the card then handing them to the two girls. "You mean...boys?" Sango asked, a sparkle growing in her eyes. The lady nodded. "The school didn't have enough money to build another wing." the lady said. They nodded and left. Kagome's fingers tightend on her helmet. All she wanted to do was speed home and smoke a ciggarette, her nerves couldn't take this.


They walked up some stairs and went down a hallway of doors. 117, was theirs. 114,115,116,117, they stood in front of the door. "Well, you gonna open the door?" Sango asked her. "Me, how come you can't?" Kagome said, her voice rising indignantly. "Fine, don't start PMSing on me." Sango said. Kagome huffed. "I'm not even on my period." she said as Sango opened the door. The opened the door and were engulfed in a cloud of smoke. Kagome sniffed, she recognized the smell anywhere. "Is someone smoking weed?" Kagome said outloud closing the door behind her. "Yep." said voice, they Kagome looked over and saw a boy with black hair and a ponytail at the nape of his neck. He was wearing a black shirt with the words 'Keep talking, I like watching your mouth move' on it and black dickie jeans and etnies. He stood up and walked over to the girls taking Sango's hand in his. "It is a pleasure to be rooming with you ladies for the next 2 years." he said. Sango started to blush a bit then her face grew angry. Kagome looked and saw Miroku's hand was on her ass. "You hentai!" she said then slapped him. A red handprint was already beginning to form on his face. Kaogme laughed. "Sango packs a wallop." she said smiling. "I'm Kagome. And you are." Kagome said walking over to the couch and sitting down on it, placing her bag on the floor. "That idiot, is Miroku and I'm Inuyasha." came a voice. The boy Kagome saw yesterday at the courhouse was emrging from the hallway, a small smile playing on his face. "It's about time someone slapped that perv." Inuyasha said. Miroku crossed his arms. "I'm not a perv, it's my hand that's possessed." he sighed. "Yeah right, and pigs have wings." Sango said.
Kagome pulled out her pack and took out a cig, and lit it. Sango sat next to her. "So, what's there to do around this shithole?" she asked. Inuyasha shurgged. "Sneak in drugs, party and raise hell." Kagome joked. Everyone laughed. Then the ice was broken and everyone was talking as if they knew eachother they're whole lifes.



The sun was beginning to set, and Kagome stood in her empty room, there was a bed with blue blankets and almost overstuffed pillow. A bedside table and a fairly large dresser, guess she would have to get some shopping done some kind of way, to fill it up. She sat down on her bed and sighed, this plain little room was going to be hers for 2 years, what a fucking bummer! She stood up and began, putting things in the dresser and closet. After her bag was empty she decided to get her things together to take a shower. She grabbed her bath things, iPod, and a blunt and headed into the bathroom. She sighed once inside, this day was WAY diffrent than she expected it to be. Kagome began to run the bathwater, she didn't want a shower today, a bath was more relaxing. She opened the cabinets and found lavendar scented candles. "Why not go all out. I deserve it." she said to herself as she set candles around the bathroom and lit them, then turned out the lights. She sighed, the smell of the candles washing voer her and relaxing her. After the tub was filled she stripped and slipped in, the hot water soothing the knots from riding on a bike for almost 2 hours.
She put in her earphones the song 'Shiki No Uta' filling her ears. She sat an ashtray on the toilet and lit the blunt, the smoke going down her throat. She exhaled, the smell of the ganja filling the bathroom. She smiled silently to herself, thinking about her roomates, espicially the silver haired one, yeah...Inuyasha. He was hot but Kagome thought she'd cool it on the guys, she didn't want another heartbreak. She leaned her head back against the tub, her right arm out of the bath resting on the side. She took another drag, the warm buzz starting to go through her body.
She turned the music up on her headphones after she was done smoking. She then began to soak, being high in a tub full of hot water was more relaxing than you know. She sang the words softly as she began to wash herself, careful not to get her iPod wet, even if it was in one of thos plastic covers. 'Fuck, there's no razor.' she thought to herself wanting to shave her legs. Then she felt a rush of cool air, she looked over and there stood Inuyasha in the door way. SHe watche as his eyes traveled up her form and rested on her lips then rose to her eyes. "Done peeping yet?" Kagome asked, feeling her face turn red from embarrasment, turned on and overall confused of what she was feeling. "Feh. I just needed to use the bathroom, didn't know you were in here." he said, then turned and shut the door behind him. "Yeah right you perv, I saw you lookin at me!" she yelled through the door. She laughed loudly when she heard him 'Feh' from the other room. But the way Inuyasha looked at her then, it sent shivers up her spine. "Man Kagome, I think you've been wearing your helmet too tight lately." she said, but she couldn't lie to herself, the guy was IRRESISTABLE!!


Kagome got out of the tub and drained it, then blew out all the candles and left the bathroom and into her own. There she put on lotion and slipped into some sweatpants and plain tank top. She combed out her damp hair and braided it into one think braide so it'd dry. She looked around her room, it looked a little homier but not much. Kagome thought about Inuyasha, and giggled softly when she remembered how his pants had fit his front after he laughed. She walked out of her room and into the living room. "Where Sango and Miroku?" Kagome asked Inuyasha, who was watching TV. He shrugged. "I think they went down to get something to eat, or flirt with eachother" he snorted. Kagome nodded and went to the kitchen, he was right, there was NOTHING to eat in here! She groaned loudly. "I'm so hungry!" she monaed as her stomach growled loudly on cue. "Just be patient they'll be here in a minute." Inuyasha yelled. "You wouldn't be saying that if was you!" Kagome yelled back, for some od reason Kagome felt that he would've been raising all kinds of hell.
She walked back into the living room and sat next to Inuyasha, her feet curled under her for warmth. "I don't want to watch this, let me see the remote." she said wincing as some guy was punched in the face on the television. "No way am I watching some chick flick, I was here first anyway." Inuyasha said. "Yash, give me the remote." she said holding her hand out. He shook his head, 'Yash?' she thought to herself. She could NOT begin giving him a nickname. He scoffed and turned his head back to the television. "You're such a prick and a perv." she said crossing her arms.
"I am not a fucking perv." he said. Kagome smiled. "Oh yeah?" she asked. facing him. "Yeah." he said his eyes boring into hers. 'Wow, I never noticed...how beautfiul his eyes are. Stop it Kagome!' she thought to herself. Inuyasha watched as Kagome turned a faint pink and he smirked. Then she launched unexpectedly for the remote in his hand. "Oi bitch! You're not getting the remote." he yelled as she pounced on him. He turned his body, making both of them fall, her on top and him on bottom. "Watch me." she said, then she sat on his hips, making him turn a faint pink. She reached for his hand. "Oh my god!" she heard someone shriek with the sound of the front door opening. "Oh fuck." Kaogme whispered. "Inuyasha and Kagome were doing the nasty, didn't ya'll just meet. Or is that the hot girl you told me about-" Miroku began. "Shut the fuck up Miroku." Inuyasha said cutting off his sentence. Sango and Miroku went into the kitchen with the food. Kagome smirked. "So you think I'm hot?" she asked. Sango and Miroku laughed from the kitchen. Then Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hips and slid him off of her, making his little soldier stand at attention. He bit back a groan as he sat down on the couch. "Was that a block of wood, or were you happy to see me?" Kagome whispered in his ear, then headed into the kitchen. He gulped, Inuyasha didn't know of he would be able to control himself if she kept tempteiong him like that.
