InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Inuyasha and Kagome's Modern Adventure ❯ Instantaneous ( Chapter 7 )

Chapter Seven: Instantaneous

 

The school bell sounded, indicating the beginning of class. All the students began to make their way into the school. Once inside, teachers motioned for students to get into their classrooms. Kagome and Inuyasha made their way into the courtyard and up the stairs to the school. Inuyasha sniffed the air, catching the scent of papers and confusion.

 

Inuyasha was blown away at all the students inside running this way and that. `What's the big hurry?' He thought to himself. He walked further into the school. The further he got, the more chaotic it got. Students rushed past him. They bumped him a couple of times on their way by, making him loose his balance slightly. He felt like a leaf being blown in the wind, no control over where he would end up.

 

“Inuyasha!” He heard someone call out. He turned around and saw Kagome motioning for him to follow her.

 

Kagome led him into another hallway filled with students. “Our classroom is done this hall.” She explained.

 

They walked a little further down the hall and turned into a room. The room was filled with students talking and huddling around each other's desks. A wide window acted as one of the walls of the classroom. Rows of desks lined the middle of the room, while pictures covered most of the walls. A long, green board stretched across one of the walls. A long, wooden desk sat in front of the board, facing towards the rows of desks.

 

A lady with glasses sat in the desk, rummaging through a stack of papers on her desk. Kagome walked up to the lady. Inuyasha followed.

 

“Good morning, Mrs. Akatsuka.” Kagome greeted.

 

“Why good morning, Kagome. How are you feeling?” Mrs. Akatsuka asked, knowing about all the diseases Kagome had come down with.

 

Kagome sighed. “I'm just fine. I would like to introduce you to someone.” She walked over to Inuyasha and pushed him towards the teacher. “This is Inuyasha. He's a new addition to the class.”

 

“Oh, why it's a pleasure to meet you.” Mr.s Akatsuka stood up from her chair and went over to Inuyasha. “Do you enjoy literature?” She asked.

 

The question took Inuyasha off guard. “Um…I don't really read a whole lot,” he responded nervously.

 

Mrs. Akatsuka countenance dropped a little. She could never believe that there was anyone out there who didn't like literature as much as she did. “I'm sure you'll change your mind after you take this class,” she smiled.

 

“Yeah, I guess.” Inuyasha scratched his head. `I hope all the teachers aren't as crazy as this one.'

 

Another bell sounded, indicating the start of class.

 

“Alright, you can go and find a seat, Inuyasha. You too, Kagome.”

 

Kagome walked towards the middle of the room and sat down at her usual seat. Her friends, Ayumi, Yuka, and Eri, sat around her. They stared at the gorgeous creature following Kagome. Inuyasha noticed their stares.

 

“Who's the handsome guy?” Eri asked.

 

“This is Inuyasha.” Kagome introduced. “You can sit here, Inuyasha.” Kagome pointed at the empty desk next to her. “If you open the top of the desk, there should be some books in there for you.”

 

Inuyasha did as she said and sure enough, there were tons of books sitting inside. He eyes widened; he didn't think that there would be this many books. It shouldn't have surprised him, though. Kagome carried around the same number of books. Inuyasha just didn't realize how many she actually carried.

 

“Okay class, I would like you to open your book to page 100.” The teacher began.

 

Already Inuyasha was confused. `Which book is it?'

 

Noticing Inuyasha's confusion, Kagome lifted her book so Inuyasha could see. Inuyasha blinked and looked back down at his books and picked up the one that looked most like Kagome's. He opened the book but then realized something. `I…can't read!'

 

Inuyasha began to worry but realized something. He closed the book and crossed his arms. What was the point in getting worked up over not being able to read? He was only going to be in school for one year. It wasn't like he was going to do this for the rest of his life. The whole reason he was here was for Kagome, to get a taste of what she goes through in this time.

 

`Heh, I'll just go to class, make sure I have the right book on my desk, and “listen” to the teachers.'

 

Kagome noticed a mischievous gleam in Inuyasha's eyes. `What's he up to?'

 

 

Again a bell sounded, ending class. Students filed out of their classes and moved on to their next. Kagome, her friends, and Inuyasha walked together to their next class. Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi couldn't stop staring at Inuyasha. Was this the same Inuyasha that they had seen that day? The one who got yelled at by Kagome? Inuyasha tensed at the stares of the girls.

 

“What the hell are you staring at?” he erupted.

 

They all shook out of their trances and staggered back a few feet. Kagome had noticed the girls' expressions. It was exactly what she had expected. Inuyasha's good looks couldn't sneak past the girls. She giggled a bit. Unlike some girls, it didn't bother her at all that girls made goo-goo eyes at Inuyasha. He was there for her, just for her.

 

“And what are you giggling about?”

 

“Nothing really.” Kagome lied.

 

“Heh.”

 

“Inuyasha?”

 

“What?”

 

“I noticed you thinking about something in class. What were you thinking about?”

 

“None of your business,” was Inuyasha's cold reply. He wasn't about to tell her he couldn't read. He knew what her reaction would be, tears and guilt, even though this was what he wanted to do.

 

Kagome sighed. No matter how much time they spend together, it would still be difficult for Inuyasha to share his thoughts with her, but that was how all men were.

 

 

“Sit down and be quiet!” a manly voice yelled.

 

Everyone did as the voice said. Inuyasha sighed. `Yup, all teachers are going to be crazy,' he decided.

 

“Get out your textbooks and we'll start on chapter 7.”

 

Again, everyone did as he said. However, one student did not. Inuyasha sat at his desk, book out, but not opened. The teacher noticed.

 

“Excuse me, young lad.”

 

Inuyasha perked up in his seat. The teacher was standing right on top of him, glaring at him.

 

“Why did you not do as I said?”

 

The whole class was on the tips of their seats. No one ever disobeyed Mr. Fushida. If someone did dare to, Mr. Fushida would fail them in a heartbeat, no second thoughts. At least that's what happened to Aki.

 

Inuyasha didn't understand what the big deal was. He was in class, wasn't he? That should be enough.

 

“Answer my question!” Mr. Fushida fumed.

 

“I don't see what the big deal is. I have my book out. Isn't that what you wanted?”

 

The whole classroom gasped. Was this boy crazy? No, he was just stupid…but cool.

 

“What's your name, boy?”

 

“Keh, Inuyasha.”

 

“Well, Inuyasha. I guess we'll be seeing a lot more of each other this year.”

 

“Well yeah! I'm going to be in your class, duh!”

 

“Heh, I'm not talking just about class. You'll be spending some time with me after school, in detention.”

 

Inuyasha blinked. What was detention? He looked over at Kagome whose mouth was open in shock. Not only was she shocked, but she was also a bit agitated. This would mean that she would have to stay behind and wait on him. How could Inuyasha do this? Why couldn't he just learn to keep his mouth shut?

 

“What?” Inuyasha asked Kagome, puzzled at her double expression.

 

Kagome turned around and stuck her nose in her book. She didn't want to get into trouble like Inuyasha. She wasn't the type of person who would do well in detention. Kagome sighed.

 

 

Compared to what had just happened, the rest of the day was not as exciting. For the rest of the day, Kagome did not talk to Inuyasha, but it didn't seem to faze him at all. It seemed that after his little head-on with Mr. Fushida, everyone in school wanted to get to know him better, especially the girls. Inuyasha couldn't walk down the hall without someone congratulating him on his bravery to stand up to Mr. Fushida. Girls would walk by and giggle to their friends. Guys would slap him on the shoulder. Inuyasha really didn't know what that meant, but considering everything else, he decided it was good. Kagome noticed that he seemed to be a little taller than when he came in. At least he was fitting in with the people at school. No one seemed to notice a bit of pink protruding from his head.

 

 

Lunch time rolled around. Kagome stopped at her locker, Inuyasha still by her side. She unlocked it and reached inside to grab her lunch sack. Inuyasha looked at her, finally noticing that she hadn't said a word to him since history class.

 

“What's wrong, Kagome?” he asked, annoyance in his voice.

 

“Nothing,” she lied.

 

“Then why haven't you talked to me since history class?”

 

“You've looked like you've been busy since then.”

 

“What does that mean?”

 

“You've been busy waving to your new-found friends, forgetting about me.”

 

“Hey, you're the one who wanted me to be more human-like and get along with these people! I'm doing all this for you!”

 

“It seems like you've forgotten that, though.” Her eyes were downcast.

 

“Kagome,” he began softly. He spun her around and lifted her head up with his fingers. “How can you think that I've forgotten the reason why I'm here?”

 

“I-Inuyasha?” Kagome noticed a small gleam in his eyes that made her heart begin to pound.

 

“Look, don't make such a big deal about all this. You need to lighten up.”

 

Suddenly the romance disappeared.

 

“Lighten up? Me?” she stammered.

 

“Yeah, I've noticed that people like people who have fun and don't care about others.”

 

Was Inuyasha giving her acceptance advice? Who did he think he was? This was his first day of school and Kagome's millionth first day of school. If anyone should have been giving anyone advice, it should've been Kagome. Oh what she wouldn't give to “sit” him right now, but she knew that that would cause a scene and rouse suspicion.

 

Kagome stormed off towards the lunch room, Inuyasha running to catch up.

 

“Hey, what the hell did I say now?”

 

“Inuyasha, si..” Kagome growled out loud. Inuyasha's eyes widened. “You better be glad that I can't do that to you right now!” Kaogme spat.

 

Boy was Inuyasha glad she couldn't “sit” him. If Kagome growled, that could only mean one thing: her “sit” command would've been extremely painful.

 

Kagome continue on towards the lunch room, cursing under her breath. Inuyasha made sure that he stayed at least ten feet behind her. Once inside, the cafeteria seemed to have all shifted. Conversations were ended and started fresh using Inuyasha's name.

 

Kagome ignored the sudden change in atmosphere and walked over to her usual table. Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi sat, eating there lunches and talking about what happened earlier that day.

 

“I can't believe he did that!” Eri exclaimed.

 

“I know! Kagome is so lucky to have a boyfriend like that,” Yuka chimed.

 

“Speak of the devil! It's Kagome and her boyfriend,” Ayumi pointed out.

 

Kagome sat down forcefully, shaking the table a bit. The three friends looked at each other, confused.

 

“What's wrong, Kagome?” Yuka asked.

 

“Nothing!” Kagome shot back.

 

They all staggered backwards. What was up her butt?

 

“Hey, where's Inuyasha?” Eri asked.

 

Kagome looked up, flames shooting out of her eyes. She did not want to hear that name mentioned anymore today. `Where is Inuyasha?' Kagome secretly wondered to herself.

 

She looked away from the girls and searched the lunch room. Worry began to consume her. `I hope he didn't get lost.' Her worry was finally comforted, somewhat, when her eyes landed on Inuyasha sitting with a group of girls at the other end of the lunchroom.

 

 

I think this will be a good spot to end this chapter. Sorry it's taking me longer to update. I had to do some research and I haven't really been feeling like writing lately. I think I may be trying to take a cold. Don't run around in the rain in a dress. It's not cool. v.v Anyways, here's the next chapter! I hope ya'll like it! Keep reviewing!
