Just a Note to Say…..

Tree Trunksand College

Chapter 7

The rest of the week went by so fast for Kagome. She got to know Rin, Eri, Yuka and Ayumi better. She was able to talk to Sango secretly, but also, she didn't see much of Inuyasha.

Even though he confessed to Kagome what he really was, she just seemed to think that he was a stubborn ass. He was rude, piggish, pushy and obnoxious.

`He seemed so nice on Monday,' Kagome thought.

But Inuyasha was not nice. He seemed to think that no one deserves a second of his time. And he couldn't give a rat's ass whether you said `good morning,' or `go to hell.'

Well, actually, if you said `go to hell' he would start a fight and beat the shit out of you, so I guess, he would give a rat's ass. But anyway…

Kagome sat in her seat in her last class on Friday, Science. The teacher, Mr. Sotaru, was a nice man, but no one seemed to listen to him. He didn't really teach anyway. If you listened, great, if not, your funeral.

He was reading from a science text book. Kagome sat next to Rin and they were throwing notes back and forth.
Kagome actually got to know Rin really well, and the two of them were becoming really close.

Rin never usually acted serious. She was bouncy, hyper and crazy. She seemed nice at the beginning, because she said her father got her medicine that would keep her focused in class.

(A/N: And just so u don't think I'm nuts, there r such drugs. But they're not drugs that stone people, so don't even think that!!!)

But after a while, Rin got tired of taking them and threw them out the window.

"Flying monkeys!" Rin called as she threw them out the window. They hit a teacher's car, sending the alarm of, and setting of Rin's laughter.

Kagome couldn't decide whether she liked the crazy Rin, better than the calm Rin. But with the regular Rin, she was always good for a laugh.

Kagome felt something hit her head, and she saw Rin pointing to a crumpled piece of paper lying by her feet.

Kagome quickly dragged it towards her hand with her feet and opened up the crumpled piece of paper.

I am STB!!!!!!

Kagome took out her black ball pen and wrote back:

What does `STB' mean!?!

She tossed it back to Rin, who was sitting in the next aisle beside her. And Rin caught it and read what Kagome had put.

Rin rolled her eyes, wrote down her answer and tossed the paper back to Kagome.

It means, So Totally Bored!!! Obviously, Kagome!!!

Kagome looked at Rin and smiled.

Well, excuuuuuuuse me!!

She responded.

Rin smiled. She was about to toss Kagome back the little piece of paper, but the bell rang and interrupted their conversation.

Rin got up quickly and walked with Kagome to the door, staying between the yellow lines on the floor.

"I can't believe you didn't know what STB meant, Kagome!" Rin said, shock filled her voice.

"Well, you make up words sometimes Rin, so sorry if I can't remember all of those words you make up. Like CFGB!!"

"It's CGFB, Coffee's Good For Breakfast. How can you not remember it!?! It's easy!! It's four words!!" Rin stated matter-of-factly.

Kagome rolled her eyes, "What ever."

Eri, Ayumi and Yuka dashed off in front of Rin and Kagome, calling back to them that from their room, they could see Kouga running on the track.

Kagome laughed and so did Rin.

They reached their room and put their bags away. Rin smiled and got a Coke from the fridge, emptying the can quickly.

"Rin, you do realize you'll get the same amount of sugar whether you drink it fast or slow."

Rin laughed and held a hand over her mouth and nose, trying desperately not to spew Coke and stain the carpet.

"Kagome!! You'll give me Nose Pop!!!" Rin squealed. Kagome rolled her eyes, but smiled.

"Ok," Rin said happily as she threw out her empty can, "now that I'm full of caffeine and sugar, I'll go visit my, `friend'," Rin said while winking.

"Who is your `friend'?" Kagome asked, putting as much emphasis on `friend' as Rin did.

"Nobody!" Rin squeaked. Making Kagome stifle a laugh. "Sure…." "Seriously, Kagome, it's no one important." "You visit them everyday," Kagome pointed out matter-of-factly. "Well, no one important to you anyway."

Kagome smiled as Rin skipped to the door and ran down the hall making hiccup sounds.

"I should really find those drugs her dad gave her to calm her down. I'll never be able to live with the crazy Rin."

Kagome decided that she would go visit Sango. The two of them had lots to talk about. Sango told Kagome that she found out something and Kagome should know.

Being curious, Kagome locked her dorm room and went down the elevator and out the doors to the western backyard of the school.

Kagome walked on the path, rolling her eyes as she saw seniors making out and freshmen asking them for directions.

Kagome walked past the gardens and picnic tables. She walked through the opening of the woods in search for a specific tree trunk.

The trunk was covered in moss and on the side of it, `Y+H' was carved, whatever that meant.

Kagome searched all the trunks, pleased that no one was using the picnic benches in the woods today, except for Inuyasha.

There he was, acting all cool strumming his electric guitar and singing a song from The Who, Kagome didn't recognize.

Kagome walked right past him, pretending he wasn't even there. And continued searching for the Y+H trunk.

Only when she was bending over to check another tree trunk did Inuyasha say anything.

"Wow, that's one helluva hobby. Checking out trunks. I'd be a living asshole if I did that."

"I don't check out tree trunks as a hobby. And you are an asshole, anyway!" Inuyasha smirked and raised his eyebrows. "Potty mouth, Ms. Higurashi." Kagome stalked off, only turning around to yell, "Oh, shut up!"

Kagome walked off, leaving Inuyasha pleased, for making her grow annoyed and angry.

Kagome walked right past all sorts of tree trunks. Too mad to even look.

But she was surprised to see Miroku coming out of a tree trunk.

"Hi, Miroku," Kagome said, not as happily as she would have preferred.

"Oh, hello Kagome, I didn't see you there." Kagome smiled and grabbed one of his arms to help him out of the trunk. "Thank you," he said smiling once both of his feet were planted firmly on the ground. Kagome smiled a `you're welcome' and began to descend down into the tree.

"Where are you going?" Miroku asked her curiously.

"To see Sango. What are you doing?" Miroku shrugged, "Nothing important. Just felt like going for a walk through the forest."

"Yeah, well, be careful. Inuyasha's over there, and he's acting like a jerk." "Oh, dear Kagome. Inuyasha is only being himself, you can't expect him to be more than that. Even if he is a hanyou." Kagome's eyes widened.

"You know about that? Did he tell you too?" Miroku shook his head.

"No, I have known him for quite some time. He and I go far back. But, he doesn't seem to remember me," he said, raising his hand to his chin, "odd." Kagome nodded and began lowering herself further down the hole.

"Well, I'll see you later then."

"Perhaps, Sango and I will see you tomorrow." Kagome shook her head, "Sorry, but I have….well, outing with someone."

Miroku smiled mischievously, "You can tell me Kagome, you don't have a date with Inuyasha do you?" Kagome screamed loudly, "Are you NUTS!?! Yeah right!" Miroku removed his hands from his ears and smiled.

"I was making a meager joke, Kagome. But it is a date, right?" Kagome nodded. "I'll see you later."

Miroku smiled and watched as Kagome was swallowed by the darkness of the hole in the trunk.

"Good," Miroku said quietly to himself, "now to go find Inuyasha."

Sango was sitting inside her room, watching television. A new episode of Passions was on and she was comfortable with a can of Mountain Dew and small bowl of Kettle Corn on her lap.

Sango sighed contently, but then sighed annoyed when another commercial came on.

"There's more time of commercials then of the actual show."

There was a Coors Light commercial on and Sango was about to get up to go to the washroom, when there was a soft knock on the door.

"Seriously Miroku! If it's you! I'll wring your neck! When I said never come back 5 minutes ago, I didn't mean come again…." Sango trailed off as she saw Kagome standing there, an eyebrow raised.

"Miroku comes by, often?" Kagome asked, seeing pleasure in the blush appearing on her friends face.

"You don't wanna know," she said shyly.

"I think he likes you Sango," Kagome said, elbowing Sango in the ribs. "Don't even suggest that Kagome. The guy never gives me a seconds rest. He comes by every night asking if he can sleep on my couch!" Kagome laughed, "How, cute!"

Sango rolled her eyes as Kagome sat down and ate out of Sango's popcorn bowl.

"Glad you came," Sango said suddenly as she sat down on the couch next to Kagome. "Any point?" she asked. Kagome leaned her head from side to side, "Sort of. You said you found out something?" Sango bounced on the couch happily. "Oh yeah!" she cried. "Ok, I was talking with Ayame and the two of us were walking down the hall when we heard Mr. Houkimato talking to someone. He was talking really quietly to some man with dark hair. He was angry. We heard him yelling, but quietly.

"`If the package isn't in my office by the dead line, then your little students will go,' the dark haired man said. `But,' I didn't hear the guy's name. `The student's are already sectioned, it's only a matter of time before we find the student with it,' Mr. H said. `You had better find it,' the strange man said. Then he left. It was really weird Kagome. He left a weird chill in the air. Ayame felt it too."

Kagome thought about what Sango said. A strange man, what did he want?

`What package?' Kagome wondered, `And is this man the reason the college is sectioned?'

"Student with it? With what?" Kagome wondered aloud. Sango shrugged, "I dunno, but it can't be good."

Kagome got up and opened the door and stood in the doorframe.

"Does Miroku know?" Sango nodded, "I told him, then he left, said he had to go do something. He wouldn't tell me."

`That's why I saw him coming through the Y+H trunk.'

"I'll see you later, `kay Sango?" Sango nodded.

Kagome left and left Sango sitting there thinking.

After realizing she still had to go to the bathroom, Sango got up to relieve herself.

Kagome stood in the hallway. She walked down the hallway counting the doors.

`1…2…3…4…5!' Kagome opened the fifth door to find buckets, mops and a ladder. Kagome picked up the ladder and set it in the middle of the room.

She quickly shut the door behind her and began to climb up the ladder. She climbed until she was two steps from the top and lifted a tile from the ceiling above her.

Kagome climbed through to an empty, dark room. She was still able to see what she was doing from a light coming above her.

She was between floor eight and floor nine. Kagome could hear the people walking above her.

She swiftly covered the hole with the tile and began to crawl through a crawlspace until she saw another ladder in front of her going down into the darkness.

Kagome climbed down for several seconds until she saw a deep tunnel with clay and roots stuck to the walls.

`I'm underground now,' Kagome thought.

She walked down the tunnel until she saw a light coming from the end of the tunnel.

"I didn't leave the top of the trunk open did I?" she wondered aloud.

Kagome walked faster until she heard something behind her. Kagome turned around to see nothing.

`I've been in the dark too long,' Kagome thought.

But just as she was about to walk again. She was grabbed around the waist and a hand covered her mouth.

Kagome kicked her legs and tried to scream, but had no luck. The person who was grabbing her was definitely strong.

"Stop moving your god damn legs, wench!" Kagome heard someone say.

Kagome looked behind to come face to face with the hanyou version of Inuyasha. His silver hair was floating around his waist as he glared daggers at Kagome.

He removed his hand from her mouth.

"What's the matter with you? You scared the daylights out of me!" Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Bitch," he muttered under his breath.

Kagome folded her arms across her chest and looked the direction opposite Inuyasha.

"What do you want!" she asked angrily. "We need to talk," he said aggressively. "I do not want to talk to you," Kagome said turning back around so her back faced Inuyasha.

"Yeah, well, you have no option in this."

Inuyasha grabbed Kagome by her waist and jumped out of the trunk. He kicked the top closed with his foot and carried Kagome over his shoulder into the forest.

"I have legs ya know!" Kagome screamed, hitting Inuyasha in the back with her fists. But Inuyasha ignored her and continued to run.

"Put me down!" she cried again. "Shut up!" Inuyasha yelled at her. "NO!" she screamed and continued to try to hurt him with her fists.

"Inuyasha, do you have to treat Kagome such a way?" someone asked Inuyasha. "Put her down please."

"Yeah! Put me DOW---ow." Kagome's ranting was interrupted when Inuyasha suddenly dropped Kagome and she landed on her bottom.

"If I get a grass stain…" she threatened under her breath.

"Feh!" Inuyasha called back, as if he heard her.

Kagome stood up, and came face to face with Miroku, "Hi," he said. "Hi Miroku, thanks for making him put me down." Miroku smiled. "Sure, sure."

"What did Sango tell you?" "After you tell me, why you're sneaking around!" Kagome interrupted.

"Sneaking around, what do you mean?" Miroku asked defenselessly. "You know what I mean. Sango's noticed it too."

"It ain't none of your business!!" Inuyasha roared, taking Kagome off guard.

"I wasn't asking you!!" Kagome yelled back at him.

"Feh!" Inuyasha answered jumping into a tree and sitting on a thick branch.

"Actually, this has to do with Inuyasha," Miroku said. Inuyasha jumped back down from the tree and grabbed Miroku by the collar of is shirt. "Damnit, Miroku!! Don't tell her a damn thing!!! It ain't none of her business!!"

"Argh! I can't have a decent conversation when this arrogant mule is near me!"

With that Kagome walked away from Miroku and Inuyasha and walked back to her room.

She ran up the stairs and opened and slammed her dorm room shut.

She flopped down on her bed and grabbed one of her many stuffed animals by her pillows. It didn't matter to her which one it was, but just holding an animal in her hands made her feel better.

She shut her eyes and in a short while, she fell asleep. Her last thought:

`Damn you, Inuyasha.'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kouga sat outside on the bench that he and Kagome had planned on meeting at for their date. But, Kagome was a no show.

Kouga had been waiting patiently for an hour. But she was an hour and fifteen minutes late.

Kouga smiled and stood up.

`Next time, Kagome,' he thought and went back around the school to find his friends.

A/N: Dun, dun, dun……Kagome forgot that she had a date with Kouga………..that can't be good. But actually, it is just another mishap in my dastardly story, mwahahaha!!! Just kidding, it just makes the two of them get closer.

r/r please!!! THNX!!!
