Chapter Two: Violence Can Be the Answer

"I said wait up!" she heard him shout again but instead she did the opposite and began walking even faster. Despite not having a schedule or a map of the school, Kagome was agitated with the idiot hanyou who acted so arrogant.

"Damn it woman, I told you to wait up! Where the hell do you think you're going without these?" he had grabbed her roughly by the shoulder, and was about to yank her backwards, unfortunately he had no idea what he was up against. Kagome had Agent Morgan to thank for the fantastic self defense skills she had learned during her recovery period in Florida. Not only had her mentor guided back into proper studying for school, but she had also been a master in karate too; especially the judo style of martial arts.

Without any hesitiation, the brown eyed girl quickly grabbed Inuyasha’s wrist, bent her knees and heaved him over her shoulder, executing a perfect shoulder drop.

“Ugh!” was the only compliment the surprised half demon expressed as he landed flat on his back with Kagome standing triumphantly above him. What the hell was that? he thought to himself as he stared into her oddly calm, beautiful face.

Realizing that he had all of her papers in his hand, the new student bent down to retrieve them, only to notice a second too late that the spider shaped scar, on her left knee was only partially covered. One of the last reminders of what Naraku had taken from her. Inuyasha didn’t miss a thing and looked up to the black patch of flesh that wrapped around of the girl’s knee, the skin was raised slightly, and with the coverup that had been caked on, he almost missed it. Kagome began to panic.

“Thanks for helping around, Inuyasha (jerk she thought to herself), I’ll find my own way from here.” she said as politely as possible, attempting to excuse herself to find the nearest bathroom so she could hide the mark.

In a matter of seconds, Inuyasha was towering over her, a deep growl in his throat.

“Listen wench,” he said acidly, “You aren’t going anywhere. You pull a move like that again, I’ll make sure the rest of your days here are the most miserable you’ve ever experienced. Got that?”

“I’d like to see you try.” Kagome said back with malice and glared up at him angrily. She was going to kick his ass so hard he wouldn’t be able to limp through the school gates.

Inuyasha couldn’t stand this girl another second, “SHUT THE HELL UP WENCH! I don’t know who you think you are, but you’re going to do what I say.” Before she could object, he snatched the papers out of her hands and roughly pushed her into a classroom on their right. The whole class was staring at them with shocked expressions.

“Watch your mouth Takahashi!” the english teacher scolded, the student only waved his comment aside, “Sir, this is your new student, --”

“Hi! I’m Asuka Yamamoto!” Kagome said as cheerily as she possibly could. She was suppose to blend in right? Inuyasha just rolled his eyes, What a two faced idiot. He thought to himself. With that the hanyou pulled Kagome out of the room quickly, and was walking ahead of her down the hallway. He glanced behind his shoulder, only to discover that she was gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No one else was in the bathroom but, the raven haired girl still locked herself into a stall, and unzipped a compartment in her backpack. “Thank goodness I carry an extra one of these around.” she said out loud to herself as she pulled out a container of cover up. Deftly, she began smearing on the makeup onto the exposed part of the scar. Finishing quickly, she washed her hands, opened the bathroom door, and ran into a hard chest.

I really need to start looking where I’m going. she sighed inwardly.

“Baka, what did I tell you before?” Inuyasha growled

“I don’t need your help.”

“Like hell you don’t! You’d be a helpless lump of flesh, wandering the halls, and Satou will have my ass for it. I won’t let you make trouble for me!”

Kagome scoffed, like she cared about how the idiot was going to get around the fussy principal. Before she could retort, she saw Inuyasha glance at her left knee.

“What was that black thing on your knee?” he asked, as they began to walk down the hall again.

“I don’t know what your talking about.” she did, but she couldn’t explain it right now with out blowing her cover, she hadn’t ever practiced this kind of scenario before. Not only did Kagome have that ugly scar on her knee but one below the right side of her ribs, a few inches above her belly button. After being hospitalized in the FBI’s infirmary for a few days she realized that Naraku had used his special marking bullet, one that would leave a mark on the victim for life. What made these bullets so unique was the fact that they held one drop of the demonic man’s blood, when Kagome found out about the secret markers she was impressed, now she cursed her ex.

“I saw it when you decided to chuck me on the ground, wench.” Inuyasha said, slightly confused about why she would deny the fact.

“Oh, um that was my birthmark.” Kagome replied weakly. The golden eyed teenager stared at her questioningly as her heard her heartbeat skyrocket.

“Well then why do you cover it up?” he inquired with a raised eyebrow.

“That’s none of you business, Inuyasha,” she spat, “I think your only job is to tell me where my classes are. Unless, of course you want Principal Satou how you’ve been harassing me?” The raven haired girl couldn’t let him ask anymore questions, her lies weren’t going to hold up under his interrogation for too much longer.

The half demon was thrown off guard by her abrupt comment, but recovered quickly and pointed grumpily her to the next classroom. “That’s your math class. Wench.”

“Well, aren’t you going to introduce me to the teacher or something?” she asked a little anxiously.

“Nope, I’m only your guide, and as a guide I’m under no obligations to “introduce” you to the class.” he emphasized with air quotes and a nasty smirk.

“Fine.” Kagome huffed as she pushed past him and knocked on the door of the classroom.

“Come in.” said a friendly voice said. With one small sigh, the newbie slapped on a smile and opened the door. The classroom was filled, as she absorbed in all of the faces one caught her attention easily. The face of a demon, his eyes an azure kind of blue, and hair pulled back into a tight ponytail, but what really made him stand out was the smile that exuded confidence. Kagome shivered a little, that guy was giving her the creepiest look, but chided herself as her coach’s words echoed in her head, “Blend in”.

“Hello, my name is Asuka Yamamoto, and I’m in your second period class, sorry to interrupt.” she added as she bowed to her teacher. Then, turning to the class to show her apologies she began to bow, but before she could so much as dip her head, a warm hand clasped her shoulder.

“Asuka, you don’t need to apologize, much less bow to these people, we all want to welcome you with open arms.” It was the demon, with that cocky smile again, Crapper why is he drawing attention to me?!? Kagome managed a smile and was about to say something when she noticed a very pissed off hanyou stomping through the door.

“Koga! Get the hell away from her, Asuka come on we gotta go.” he said as he began tugging on her sleeve.

“Are you the one who is suppose to be guiding this beautiful woman around, mutt face? I’m sorry that you had to get stuck with this sorry excuse for a half demon.” he said adoringly to Kagome. Oh, this is going to be a major crapper.

“Hey you baka wolf, you better let go of Asuka before I make sure that you won’t be able to use that filthy hand of yours.”

“Oh really, you mangy mutt! Lets see you try as I kick your sorry ass.”

The two were beginning to shout loudly at each other now, and Inuyasha had managed to push the new girl behind him as the arguing became more aggressive. Alrighty, then Kagome you have done a superb job of blending in! She thought sarcastically, as she snatched her papers out of Inuyasha’s hand, unnoticed by the yelling dog demon. “Sorry once again.” she bowed again to the teacher and dashed out of the classroom where the two hotheads had begun pushing each other around.

“At least I got rid of that baka.” she muttered to herself as she looked at the map. She was surprised to see that all of her classes had been circled in red pen and labeled 1-7, whether by Inuyasha or Principal Satou; Kagome was grateful as she went off to classroom number three--alone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~

The chocolate-eyed girl had just successfully introduced herself to classroom number four, and was triumphantly heading off to her fifth class when a loud bell rang through the halls.

“Uh-huh and then she just walked out”

“Haha, those two..”

“Can you believe Mr. Iso? Ugh,,”

“I’m so excited for…”

“You should’ve seen…”

A flurry of talk surrounded Kagome as she was jostled through the halls; she was just about to shove aside a large looking jock, when someone grabbed her hand and yanked her into the girl’s bathroom. She sighed a huge sigh of relief and turned to her rescuer.

“Thanks so much, it is crazy out there!” she said gratefully. The girl standing in front of Kagome was gorgeous, with thick black hair pulled back into a low ponytail, and deep brown eyes that exuded honesty. A smile spread across the girl’s face as she replied, “I know, it looked like you were about to jump that guy since he was in your way. I’m Sango Tanaka by the way, I was in your second period calculus class.” she added with a giggle.

“I’m so sorry that you had to be there!” Kagome said blushing, “What happened to those two after I left?”

“Those idiots are always at it, nothing new; but after you left they really began throwing punches at each other, and a few teachers had to come in from other rooms to pull them apart. They were both immediately escorted to the principal’s office by Ms. Iso, our math teacher, which was fantastic, because I couldn’t handle another minute of learning about the limits of integration!” the girl replied. “Anyway, where did you sneak off to?”

“I just went to introduce myself to some of the other teachers, I mean just because Inuyasha isn’t there doesn’t mean I can’t do things for myself.”

Sango just smile and looked at her watch, “Oh no! I’m going to be late if I don’t hustle. It was nice meeting you Asuka, I’ll catch you later!” With an apologetic smile she ran out the bathroom door and left Kagome looking after her. I had better hurry up if I’m ever going to get to all of my classes. She thought to herself as she pushed the door open and headed down the now empty hallways again.

Kagome was so relieved when she finished her introduction to her 7th period class, and was headed happily back to the main office. Then, out of nowhere, a scorching pain struck her knee and abdomen simultaneously. Gasping out loud and doubled-over, the raven-haired girl couldn’t see clearly anymore. The burning sensation began paralyzing her, as the pain spread across her entire body, it felt as if a hundred knives were plunging into Kagome’s flesh. Sweat began forming at her forehead, now trembling the undercover girl dropped to the floor as the white hot pain intensified. But right as the agony peaked, it disappeared just as quickly as it had came, leaving Kagome panting for air. She couldn’t believe it, out of all of days that the attacks could’ve happened, she was experiencing them today. Another side affect of being shot with one of Naraku’s “special” bullets, was painful attacks on the nervous system. When she asked him how this was even possible, he had laughed darkly and told her about a poison that was laced with his blood. It was a strong toxin that was extracted from the skin of the Green and Black Poison Dart Frog.

“I do this so that anyone who is lucky enough to taste the sting of my bullet will remember it throughout their entire life. And since it is laced with my blood, there is no cure for it unless of course, I die, then both the scar and the attacks will disappear. But have no fears, my darling, that will never happen.” Naraku had explained lovingly to her.

Silently cursing him again, she stood up on shaking knees and glanced around quickly, ensuring that no one had seen her attack, she proceeded to the main office. It had been a wild first day, and Kagome was eager to get out of the large school and into the streets of San Francisco to blend in with a large crowd and get lost for a few hours.

“Well dear, tomorrow will be your first official first day so rest up, and be here on time at 7:30 sharp!” Rosemary chirped at Kagome cheerily, who thanked her and practically ran out of the school.

“Finally, fresh air!” the raven-haired girl exclaimed as she walked into a nearby Walgreens and changed out of her school uniform into her street clothes. After purchasing a water bottle and a pack of gum, she hit the streets and headed toward Union Square, where Kagome Higurashi was just another tourist.

Well, that’s it for me, and like I said before I apologize for not updating sooner, but I will have a few extra chapters in the following weeks to make up for it. Thanks for the reviews for chapter 1. Let me know what you think!
