Kagome’s Envy, and Inuyasha’s SubjugationBy: ME

“Shippo, have you seen Inuyasha?” Sango asked the young fox demon. “Not since that run in with Koga this morning,” he said. “Inuyasha can be so childish sometimes. I mean every time we meet up with Koga, he gets all protective of Kagome.”

“Which is only to be expected of him,” interrupted Miroku. “I suppose, but does anyone-grrr--” she glared at Miroku. SMACK “MIROKU YOU PERVERT! KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF!” “Idiot,” Shippo muttered. “Anyway, does anyone know where he went? We might as well start trying to convince him to go get Kagome now.” Sango suggested.

“That damn Kagome! Why’s she always running back to her own time! It smells here!” Inuyasha growled while walking past a garbage truck. “Inuyasha please wait!” Sota shouted after him. “You know what kid, you’re startin’ to become a real pest!” Inuyasha growled. “But if Kagome finds out I let you walk through town again she’ll kill me!” “I have to find Kagome before Miroku , Sango, and Shippo bug me about it. Otherwise I’ll never here the end of it!” he said irritably. “Okay, but at least put something else on so you blend in more.” Sota said. “Like what!” Inuyasha exclaimed. Sota just looked at him and smiled one of those big, fake, cheesy smiles.

“I can’t believe we’re finally starting high school!” squealed Kagome’s friends. I just can’t believe I actually passed ninth grade! ”C’mon you guys! We don’t want to be late on our first day do we?” Kagome asked. “No, that would make us easy targets for teachers the rest of the year… and Kagome wouldn’t get her daily nap in alge-” “Hey, Kagome!” yelled Hojo. “You look really healthy this year. Does that mean you’ll be at school more?” he asked. “Of course she will!” said one of the girls from the group. “Now, wait-” Hojo cut her off. “Great! Glad to hear it! See you later!”

“Sure. No problem.” she said weakly. Why does this always happen to me?

“You’re gonna regret this kid.“ Inuyasha growled while giving Sota the evil eye. “Sorry, it’s all I could find that would fit.” he said innocently. At least it won’t get you as many looks as that bright red kimono you’re always wearing.” I can never win an argument with anyone in this family can I? “Whatever. I’ll be back later with Kagome.”

“Let’s see… Aha! Here’s my schedule!” Kagome said. “Oh great! Algebra first period! Just what I didn’t need!” “Relax Kagome!” “Yeah! All you have to do is get through the day!” They all pushed her down the hall to the algebra room. “Now get in there and chill out!” “Yeah you’ll be fine!” They shoved her inside and closed the door. “She’s toast.” “Tell me about it.”

Damn it all! Where is she? Inuyasha kept wandering around until he got stopped by a cop. “Hey kid! Ain’t you sposed to be in school?” he asked gruffly. “Uhhh…” Inuyasha had absolutely no idea what to do (at least not until the cop grabbed his arm and he tried to bite him). “That’s it! You’re comin’ with me!” He yelled. “Wanna bet!” Instinctly he reached for his Tetsusaiga. “Damn it! I left it with that little twerp! When I get my hands on you-” That’s when he was interrupted by the faint click of hand-cuffs around his wrists. “Hey! What’s the big idea?” Damn you Kagome! This is worse than sit and bein’ stuck to that tree combined! “Alright tough-guy. You’re goin’ to school…NOW!” said the cop while trying to shove him in the police cruiser. “GET OFF OF ME! IRON REA--AHHHHH!” Inuyasha yelled. He had just discovered the power of pepper spray.

Kagome was sitting in algebra day-dreaming about that fight with Inuyasha early this morning. He needs to lighten up about Koga. Like I’d fall for that wolf… of course he does have the charm--NO! What am I thinking? Her thoughts were interrupted by the head principal saying “Excuse me students but we’ve discovered straggler in town.” He turned to the rebel that was standing behind him. “Go take the empty seat next to that girl,” He said pointing to Kagome. Oh great! Now I’ll be associated with him! Rebellious High Schooler Trainer Kagome has the floor! And on the first day too! Then the straggler walked in the doorway. Kagome’s eyes widened and her jaw dropped. Standing in the doorway was Inuyasha wearing one of her Dad’s old oversized t-shirts, some old pants that had holes in each knee, a baseball cap to hide his ears, and mismatching shoes! He walked over and sat down next to Kagome. “Hey Kagome, you gotta come back with me! Everyone’s gonna be breathin’ down my neck if you don’t.” Inuyasha said. “Young man, what is your name?” the teacher asked him. “What’s it to y-” “Akitoki!” Kagome cut in remembering the boy they met during their run in with Kaguya (but that’s another story). “Uhh yeah his name is Akitoki! I’m really sorry, he’s a temporary exchange student. I’ll make sure he behaves!” Kagome said. Then she glanced at Inuyasha and gave him the look that said, “Say one word and I’ll tell you to sit!” He got the message loud and clear.

At lunch Kagome made Inuyasha sit with her to keep him out of trouble. “What is this stuff? It smells like Toto-Sai’s cow,” he said while poking at it. “It’s a hamburger.” Kagome said irritably. Later, a group of girls sat down and began flirting with Inuyasha. “Hey Akitoki.“ said one of them. “I heard you‘re an exchange student. That is soooo interesting.” this went on for a few minutes while Kagome stood off to the side with clenched teeth and fists. Now I know how Miroku feels, Inuyasha thought. He grinned and glanced over at Kagome. The grin disappeared when she planted her hands on her hips and glared at him while silently fuming. She walked over to him and grabbed his arm. “Will you please come with me!” she said through clenched teeth. “Uhh…” he said looking back at the girls that were flirting with him. “Now!“ she said angrily. She dragged him out of the lunch room and into the janitor’s closet. She checked to make sure no one was coming and shut the door. After a few minutes she quietly said, “Inuyasha…” Oh no here it comes! he thought. Then she gave it to him. “…SIT BOY! -SIT BOY!” While we lay there amongst the janitor supplies, Kagome waited for the hallways to clear out before leaving the closet. “Kagome,” he said as he stood up, “Would you please stop doing that!” she turned away and said, “Let me SIT slam down and think about it.” she said smiling mischievously. “You did that on purpose.” he said.

They went back to the feudal era and Kagome told Sango and Shippo every last detail of what happened at school while Miroku pulled Inuyasha away and asked about the girls that surrounded him in the cafeteria. Unfortunately for both of them Kagome and Sango heard every word. SMACK SIT! SLAM “Idiots.” muttered Shippo. “Some guys just never learn,” Sango said as they walked away. “Yeah. Especially those two,” added Kagome.

Later on, they were sitting on by the fire when Inuyasha asked Kagome, “Who was that guy in your time that kept trying to give you those weird looking shoes?” Kagome looked at the anxious expression on his face. “Oh that’s just Hojo, he’s my BOYFRIEND.” She looked to see the horrified look on Inuyasha’s face. Laughing she said. “I’m just kidding! He’s a total health nut and all of my friends want me to go out with him, but I’m always here helping you gather jewel shards.” Inuyasha looked at her. “Does that mean that you’d rather be with me?” She laid her head on his shoulder. “Yeah, it does.” Inuyasha put his arm over her shoulder and held her close. About two minutes later Kagome said,

“Inuyasha?”

“Yeah?”

“Why do you keep rubbing your eyes like that.”

“They itch!” Under his breath he muttered,

“That fat guy is in big trouble next time I see him! He got lucky this time, but next time I…” his voice trailed off when he saw Kagome looking at him curiously.

“What does a fat guy have to do with your eyes itching?“ she asked.

“He chained my hands behind my back and when I tried to use Iron Reaver, he sprayed wet pepper in my eyes!”

“He was a cop! You got arrested!”

“You woulda bit the fat guy too if he grabbed your arm and tried to shove you in some blinking light thing on wheels!”

“You’re unbelievable!”

As they continued arguing, Miroku, Sango and Shippo sat across the fire and looked at them with disapproval. “Some things never change.” Shippo said while sneaking over to Inuyasha’s fish. thud

“You got that right, you little thief.” said Inuyasha. Shippo just muttered “Idiot.”
