InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Happy Medium or Extreme Aggravation ❯ An Inauspicious Day ( Chapter 9 )

Disclaimer: InuYasha does not belong to me. I make no profit from my creative work, although sometimes I believe that I deserve it.

 

(A/N: Hello all. I downloaded that open-office thingy and it seems to be working pretty bloody good. Finals are done and I kicked ass in tennis. Life is damn good right now. Thanks to all that reviewed. And a special thanks goes out to my best friend Tina who took the time to read my story even though this isn't her thing. So yeah that's all. Let's get it on!)

 

 

Chapter 8: An Inauspicious Day

 

 

Kagome woke up the next day with a sore hip from sleeping on her side all night. Other than that, she'd not felt so refreshed in a long time. She stretched her arms out as she sat up and smiled at the sun streaming through her curtains. Today will be a good day. She wasn't sure why she thought that but she wasn't going to complain about it. Then she looked at her alarm clock.

 

Oh crap. I forgot to set it last night. I'm going to KILL Sango. I've got 5 minutes to get ready. So much for a good day.

 

She jumped out of bed and changed into a pair of faded boot cut jeans and a black tee shirt that read I'm ninja (you can't see me). She hastily brushed her hair and teeth and ran out the door putting on a pair of flip flops. She ran to her car and nearly killed old lady Kaede backing out of the spot. She made record time getting to school and managed to avoid getting a ticket or running anyone over. Now for the real trouble: Finding a parking spot when you are late to class.

 

Kagome circled the biggest parking structure twice before finally spotting a potential parking space. A blond girl driving a brand new Benz saw the spot at the same time as Kagome and they faced off from different ends of the lane. Kagome revved her 115 horsepower 200sx and set her sights on the spot. After the vacating driver made a cowardly, if not wise, and hasty retreat Kagome stomped on the gas and screeched into the spot a split second before she and Blondie would have collided. Who knew you could drift with a front wheel drive?

 

Kagome collected her back pack and threw her permit on the dash. She got out of the car and saw that Blondie was fuming. She's probably really late. Oh well early bird gets the last parking spot. While she was walking away she looked over her shoulder and winked “Maybe next time slow poke!” She remained an undefeated parking spot racer.

 

She jogged to her classroom on the second floor of Storm Hall. She arrived out of breath and doubled over. I gotta start working out. She was about to open the door when she noticed the sign taped to the front: “Today's History 101 class has been canceled for Mr. Staff.”

 

“WHAT!?” She was so loud that a teacher across the hall closed her door with a reproachful look at the sweating girl. Damn, all that for nothing. What am I gonna do for the next hour? Her stomach suggested an answer. Food does sound good right about now. She headed down the steps and walked across campus towards East Commons.

 

When she got there she looked around deciding on what she wanted to eat. Finally she gave up the internal battle of health over taste and got in line for McDonald's. After picking up her hotcakes and sausage, with 1 extra sausage, and her bottle of whole milk (A nod to her health teacher), she searched for an empty table, preferably one near a window. She was starting to worry that her hotcakes were becoming cold cakes when she spotted an empty table but it wasn't near a window.

 

Oh well it's not like this is the best day of my life or anything. She sat down and smothered her hotcakes in syrup and butter. After her first bite she bent down to retrieve her psych book. She stopped her movements when she saw a pair of black boots stop at her table. She narrowed her eyes when the person belonging to the boots sat themselves down. She was starting to fume about the intrusion and began to speak as she straightened herself. “Can I help yo. . . Oh hey InuYasha. I didn't know it was you.” She blushed although she didn't know why. “I didn't mean to be rude. What's up?”

 

InuYasha was wearing black army boots and faded camo pants. He had a white t-shirt on and his long silver hair was hanging down his back nearly to his ass. On his head was a black baseball cap with the Dead Kennedys logo. God he's so good looking. Damnit there I go again.

 

“Saw you sitting alone and thought you might like some company. But if you'd rather be alone I can leave.” He started to get up. Kagome noticed that most of the girls in the vicinity had turned to look at him at his words, naked hope on their faces.

 

“No, no stay its alright. I guess I could use the company.” She saw the mischievous glint in his eye and realized he was teasing her. Ass-hoe. Whoa did I just think that? Yes I did. OMG I'm talking to myself in my head. Crap I need to stop. She did notice though that the girls who were looking at him turned back to their food and books looking defeated when he sat back down. She smiled inwardly. Eat your hearts out.

 

“Sweet.” InuYasha helped himself to one of her sausages and earned a frown from Kagome. “I love their sausages don't you?”

 

“Hmph, you owe me one. Do you have class this morning?” Kagome put her book back in her bag since she didn't think she'd get much studying done now. She straighted and pulled her food as far away from InuYasha as possible.

 

“Nah, not for another hour anyway. I come early so I don't have to deal with the parking hunt. Its like playing Stratego in a deadly weapon.”

 

“Kno what choo mean.” She said around a mouthful of syrupy goodness.

 

“You shouldn't talk with your mouth full ya know.” He flashed her a big grin as he chugged some of her milk.

 

“Can't you buy your own food. You said you had a job.” She was rethinking the wisdom of letting him stay.

 

“Rather share with you. It's fun watching you turn red with anger. Listen, I'm going to a friend's party tonight. Wanna come with?”

 

“I'd like to but I don't think I'll fit in with your friends.” She looked down at her breakfast and stabbed the sausage patty with her fork.

 

“Fuck it. Just come with me. It'll be fun. There'll be a band and everything. I wasn't planning on staying long anyway so if you wanted to leave early that's cool with me. We can do something else.” Like go to dinner or a movie. His thoughts were starting to bug him.

 

“Well I guess that's okay.” Her answer was hesitant but he accepted it all the same.

 

“Then I'll pick you up at 8 tonight.” YES!. . . Shut up!

 

They started talking about their favorite classes and were surprised to learn that they had Biology 100 together. Well it wasn't that surprising, there were like 200 other students in that class. Bigfoot could be in that class and no one would know any better. It's nice talking to him like this. Like we'd never stopped being friends. But is that what I really want? Do I want more from him? Does he want more from me? Struggling with these thoughts Kagome turned back to her breakfast and listened to InuYasha talk at length about how he wanted to be an archaeologist. His minor was in Japanese history.

 

Unbeknownst to the two, three tables down a pair of girls were eyeing them and whispering behind their hands. One girl had long violet hair and was wearing a plaid school girl skirt and white long sleeve button up shirt. She was wearing 6 eye doc martens and knee-high soccer socks with two green stripes at the top. She probably would have looked sweet if it wasn't for the dark eye make up and mysterious bulge in her socks that most people suspected was a switch blade. The other girl had shocking blue hair done up in twin buns a la Chun Lee from street-fighter. She was wearing loose pin striped black pants and a short black tee that ended just above her navel. She sported a pentagram tattoo around her belly button.

 

The purple haired girl held her hand to her mouth and whispered conspiratorially to the other “He barely broke up with Kikyou yesterday and he's already chasing some other chick's skirt. She doesn't even look like his type. She's too square for him.”

 

“Yeah I mean they were together for like three fuckin years. Should we call and tell her about his new toy? Where's she staying at now anyway?” The blue haired girl couldn't stop staring at InuYasha and Kagome who were blissfully ignorant of the attention.

 

“She's staying at Johnny's on Third. He always was a sucker for her. He'd probably lick her boots and enjoy it if she told him to. Hey wanna go over and tell her in person? Johnny's roommate is fucking wicked. I wouldn't mind seeing him.” The purple haired girl's eyes glazed over at the thought of cornering Johnny's roommate and doing naughty things to him.

 

“Yeah whatever. Speech is such a damn drag anyway.” She tore her eyes away from InuYasha and Kagome and completely missed her friend's temporary lapse in consciousness.

 

They got up together and looked at each other with dangerous looks in their eyes. “Should we?”

 

“We should.” They sauntered over the InuYasha and Kagome's table.

 

“The band is an 80's cove. . .” The purple haired girl had put her arm around InuYasha's shoulder while the blue haired girl stood behind him and looked pointedly at Kagome.

 

“Hey dog breath.” The girl with her arm around him said. “You know, Kikyou wouldn't be too happy if she found out about your bitch here.” She smiled a wicked smile. She looked up at the sound of Kagome's gasp.

 

“Get off me Hari. You fuckin slut. Me and Kikyou are done. And don't call Kagome a bitch.” InuYasha roughly pushed her arm away and shot Kagome an apologetic look.

 

“You and Kikyou aren't over until SHE says you're over dog breath.” The blue haired girl called over her shoulder.

 

“Yeah? Well Fuck you Ruri!”Everyone craned their necks to see what was going on after hearing InuYasha's outburst. They were all disappointed to see that their morning monotony would not be broken up by a fist fight. InuYasha turned back to their table with fire in his eyes. “Goddamn her. She always knew how to piss me off.”

Kagome regained her composure and asked “Are they going to be at the party tonight?”

 

“If they are then we'll leave. Easy enough. We're still going right? I told my friend I'd at least show up for a while. You aren't gonna let those hoes scare you away right?”

 

“I'm not scared of them. I just don't want any problems especially with Kikyou. I can't stand her. You know last time I saw her in elementary school she was writing 'Kagome is a hoe-bag' on the girl's bathroom wall.” Kagome grimaced at the memory. I should have kicked her ass a long time ago.

 

“You should have kicked her ass.” InuYasha was being sincere.

 

“I wasn't sure I could take her. I don't know if I could now I mean Doc Martens have steel toes.” She gave InuYasha a small smile signaling that the moment had passed.

 

“Let's go outside. I wanna have a smoke. . . er. . . if that's okay with you.” Stupid ass, she doesn't smoke.

 

“Sure, I could use some fresh air. I'll just be sure to stand upwind.” She picked up her bag and threw her trash in the can. She waited for InuYasha to catch up to her and they made their way outside by the library.

 

Once outside InuYasha immediately lit a cigarette and shuddered though it wasn't from the cold “Those two always give me the creeps. Any guy with two brain cells would know to stay as far away from them as possible. So Miroku would probably just ask them to bear his children.”

 

Kagome laughed picturing Miroku on his knees in front of Hari and Ruri asking them if they would please bear his children. “Yeah he'd do it if he wasn't scared Sango would brain him with his own beating heart.

 

They were soon laughing both laughing and saying the different things that Sango would do if Miroku ever cheated on her.

 

“She'd feed him to a pack of hungry piranhas feet first.” InuYasha chocked out.

 

“No she'd drag him behind her car on the 8 east then throw his body down a canyon in Julian for the mountain lions.” Kagome was doubled over in laughter.

 

“Well, aren't we having fun this morning” Sango smiled at the two who were trying very hard to hide their mirth.

 

“Hey Sango, What's up?” Kagome was trying to keep her face straight and failing miserably. InuYasha was hiding his smile by taking a long drag off of his smoke. They were both hoping that she hadn't heard what they were talking about. Neither wanted to be on the receiving end of her wrath.

 

“As it happens, you are both wrong. First I'd knock him out, then I'd strip him and run him up a tall flagpole covered in day old ground beef. Then I'd release a flock of mutated carnivorous sea gulls and pigeons to peck at him until there was nothing left but bone and sinew. Then I'd probably get some frat boys to piss on his remains.” Sango finished by rubbing her hands together and narrowing her eyes, a satisfied smile playing on her lips.

 

Kagome's eyes were open and frightened. InuYasha was coughing and chocking on smoke, he started backing up but bumped into none other than Miroku himself who said: “ What's up guys. What are you talking about?”

 

“NOTHING!!” All three said in unison with different levels of shock and guilt on their faces.

 

Miroku shrugged and turned his attention to Sango. “My dear Sango would you like to join me for breakfast”

 

“Yeah, that sounds great.” As Miroku put his arm around her shoulder she looked behind her and gave Kagome and InuYasha a look that clearly meant say one word about what I said I'd do to him and I may do the same to you.

 

“If she wasn't my best friend I'd be worried that she'd kill me sometimes.” Kagome looked at InuYasha who had stopped crying but was sweating profusely.

 

“Now you see why I stopped hanging out when she started threatening to kill me. I'd rather take my chances with a starving tiger. At least then I might have a chance of escaping.” InuYasha sat down on a stone bench. He wasn't sure that his shaking legs would support him anymore.

 

“Oh c'mon she's not that scary.” Yes she is. Kagome sat down next to InuYasha. “So what are your plans for the afternoon?”

 

“I've got classes till noon then I have to go to work. And we're going to that party tonight right.” InuYasha looked at her hopefully.

 

“Yeah yeah I haven't forgotten.” Kagome looked at her cell phone “EEEEK! I'm gonna be late for class again. See ya InuYasha.” She got up and started jogging to her class.

 

“8 o'clock!” He yelled after her.

 

He too got up and walked towards his next class. He couldn't help but think about what Ruri had said to him: “You and Kikyou aren't over until SHE says you're over.” Stupid bitch. I'm through with Kikyou and her damn games. They better not start shit at the party tonight. Damnit they can't ruin this for me. And with that troubling thought InuYasha turned his mind to learning Spanish.

 

 

(A/N: Sorry so short. Well its about as long as my other ones but I was really hoping to make this longer. I was gonna put the party in here but I guess its better as its own chapter. Besides I haven't updated in a while so I wanted to put this up ASAP. I got writer's block for a while so that's what took so long. But I think I know how I want this to go now so hopefully I can update again tomorrow. Okay. Thanks in advance to everyone that reviews. And I hope that everyone does review. I like to know what people think of my story. Thank you to those that review over and over again you guys are the greatest. Okay I'll stop now. Neko out.)
