InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Racing Hearts ❯ Bump ( Chapter 3 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Bump

Sango said hi here and there while Kagome tried to ignore the dozens of eyes on her. A girl

who smelled strongly of perfume bounced in front of her.

"Kikyo! Kikyo! You won't BELIEVE it! I just found the juiciest gossip-"

"I'm not Kikyo."

The girl stopped bouncing around and looked at Kagome carefully.

"Are you sure?" she said, obviously confused.

"No, she is not. So go away."

Sango stared down the girl until she gave a huff and bounced away.

"Come on, I'll show you my friends. It's pretty much a group of boys, you don't really want to

hang out with the girls around here. They are mostly Kikyo's gang."

"Will I meet this famed Kikyo?"

"We might have her in a few classes, oh, there she is right now."

Sango rolled her eyes.

"With her usual entrance, of course."

Kagome craned her neck to see above the heads of students. A beautiful girl had just walked

in, her long hair was straightened to perfection. And the contrast between her dark hair and

her pale skin really drew the eye to to her face. Kagome could see they looked slightly

similar, but she would never wear that gaudy, heavy makeup. Especially that bright red

lipstick that almost blinded her eyes. She walked as if she owned the school grounds and

smiled seductively to a few chosen boys.

"So what do you think of the queen of our school?"

"Let's just say if she rules me around, she's in for a rude awakening."

"Just be careful. Kikyo pretty much leaves me alone because I hang out with the guys. Who

knows what kind of idea of torture she might come up with you."

"Don't worry Sango, I hate fights, they're very....scary."

Sango's gaze was a little wary, but she gave a smile.

"Enough about the queen of whores...erm...the queen of girls, come and meet the guys."

Sango led her to a group of boys hanging around under a large oak tree. Two boys caught her

attention very quickly. One was that annoying flirtacious man from last night and the

other....almost took her breath away. He was talking to the man from last night and took no

notice of the girls' appearance. He had long silvery hair that was almost white in the sun's

rays. And his golden eyes radiated a stubborn but light hearted personality. Kagome's staring

made him move his eyes from the man to her.

"Who's she?" he said, rather roughly.

"She's new, just moved into my apartment building. Boys, this is Kagome. Kagome, the boys.

And Miroku...hands off!"

The man from last night gave a helpless smile and gave Sango a kiss on the cheek. The boys

crowded around her, greetings coming from every direction. But one boy didn't come over to

greet her, and that was the guy with the golden eyes. Sango, noticing this, reached over and

punched him in the arm.

"Hey, you can at least be nice to Kagome-chan, Inuyasha."

*Inuyasha, huh? Weird name, never heard of it before*

"Strange name, isn't?" Someone whispered right by her ear. Kagome's lightning reflexes made

her turn around before she could think, smacking her forehead into someone else's. She

closed her eyes for a second and winced. When she opened her eyes she was looking into

alluring pools of gold. At first she thought it was Inuyasha's, but these eyes were cold and

emotionless, not stubborn and light hearted. She moved back a bit to see what appeared to be

a taller and more...more handsome version of Inuyasha. He had beautifully defined

cheekbones, a tall nose, and the same hair and eye color as Inuyasha. *Brothers?* Then she

noticed a reddish spot on the side of his forehead. She reached up to her own forehead and

winced again as bolts of pain shot through her head.

"I'm so sorry! It's just that you snuck up on me...and..um....I'm sorry?"

He looked down at her with such arrogance that Kagome's fiery temper began to pop out.

"Hey, I said I was sorry."

He grabbed her arm and began to drag her into the school building. She heard shouts coming

from the group of boys and Sango but it was ignored as he led her up a flight of stairs and

down a long corridor. He opened a door and pushed her into a...nurse's office? A woman

appeared out of nowhere at the sound of the door closing and immediately began to inspect

the bump on her forehead and most likely Inuyasha's brother's. She began to go tut tut and

started to rummage through a refrigerator. She had two bags of ice in her hand and gave one

each to her and Inuyasha's brother. Then she shooed them out of the office and shut the door.

Kagome, with a bag of ice on her large bump, tried to appear as dignified as she could. He, on

the other hand, held his on his forehead as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

Kagome almost blushed at the stares she was receiving from other students but tried to

imagine being very angry at this person.

"All you had to do was ask me to go with you to the nurse, you didn't have to drag me as if I'm

some child."

He looked amused and said nothing. Kagome felt her eyes begin to narrow and stopped

herself in time. There was no way she was going to start her first day at her first public school

with a fight. She gave a smile and bowed politely to him.

"Thank you for helping me, have a good day."

As she walked down the hallway he stared at her and wondered what kind of girl she was to

have such reflexes.

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

"Don't worry Sango, it's just a little bump."

"Little? You call this little? It looks likes someone took a baseball bat and hit you on the

forehead!"

"The ice is helping. And if worse comes to worse, I can always hide it with my bangs."

Sango gave a sigh and put her head in her arms.

"There I was, hoping you would have a great day, and then you hit your forehead on the

famous Sesshoumaru. And we still have Kikyo to deal with! What in heaven's name could

happen next?"

There was a loud commotion by the door and Kagome turned her head toward it. There was a

boy with long hair tied up in a ponytail making a very loud entrance. He was laughing and

talking loudly with his friends. Sango didn't even look up and began to groan.

"I jinxed it."

"Jinxed what?"

"I thought Kouga moved."

"Kouga?"

"You hear that loud racket? There is most likely a buffoon standing by the door making as

much noise as possible laughing and talking."

"Right on target."

"That buffoon is Kouga. And once Inuyasha comes in, prepare yourself."

Kagome was about to put out a question when an argument began to happen. Inuyasha had

just come in and was now yelling face to face with Kouga.

"You idiot! Why don't you take a seat instead of having your big head take up the doorway!"

"I'm a free man and I can do whatever I want! I don't need some dogbreath telling me what to

do!"

And it just went on and on from there with language that Kagome only heard on the streets. A

woman, probably the teacher, was standing behind them with a frightened look on her face.

"Shouldn't the teacher do something?"

"Mrs. Yura can never control them, does't really have a firm hand in discipline. A really nice

person and good teacher. She just can't control the boys."

Kagome could feel impatience stirring inside. *This is my first day in a public school, and I'm

not letting it get ruined by two idiots!* Kagome got up and stomped to the two boys. She

grabbed a handful each of their hair and pulled roughly. Both stopped arguing and yowled at

the pain in their heads. Kagome let go and at the same time they both put their hands on their

heads and said, "What the hell was that for?!"

"Shut up, take a seat, and let the teacher teach, got it?"

They stared at her for a moment and was about to say something when Kagome put up a

hand.

"Don't make me pull again."

Muttering curses under their breaths, they reluctantly went to their seats. Mrs. Yura gave a

look of gratitiude to Kagome and waved Kagome back to her seat. Sango gave her a pat on the

back.

"They are usually like this in the beginning of the year, the first day is always the worst. Good

job Kagome! I didn't know you had such a way with the boys."

Kagome put her head in her hands, just like Sango had been doing before, and gave a similar

groan. *What else is going to happen today?!*
