He sat down in his assigned seat, behind Miroku. The teacher had begun teaching about the wonders of volcanos and didn't bother to acknowledge his presence. Miroku was doodling a very poorly-drawn picture in the textbook, his tongue partially out of his mouth in concentration. Kouga picked up his pencil and started to spin it around his fingers like he used to do with his drums sticks that had been autographed by Travis Barker, his favorite drummer. He kept thinking back to his run-in with Ayame, and how she had kept her talent hidden for so long.

"Psst! Kouga!" Sango whispered in his ear behind him. He chose to ignore the voice, going over the song once again flowing smoothly along with her voice. His eyes unfocused and he continued to absentmindedly twirl the pencil around his finger still, not putting much thought into it. The voice called again, but he didn't quite hear it. But what he did feel was the sharp smack upside his head that Sango delivered to the back of his head. He turned his head to look at her, a little irritated that she had disturbed him.

"What the fuck do you want Sango?" He asked roughly. She narrowed her eyes at him before answering plainly.

"It seems that Ayame's bad mood has rubbed off on someone." She mumbled loud enough for him to hear. "What was going on back there?" He shrugged and turned away from her, but she still pressed on. "I know what's in that binder and she seemed pretty angry."

"I was going back for my god damned textbook and then she started to play…" He drifted off. Sango looked at him as if he had just told her that he had won a million dollars by doing absolutely nothing.

"Y-you heard her sing and play?" She asked with wide eyes.

"Yeah, but she flipped out at me after I applauded her and told her that she was good." He said leaning backwards in his chair, slouching slightly.

"Well the thing you need to know about Ayame is that she is-how do you put it-overprotective? She likes to keep things to herself, no matter what it is-including her music." She explained, trying to make it clear to him with having to use pictures and smaller words. "Imagine how you would feel if she heard you telling someone that you were in love with someone whom you didn't want them to know."

"But I told her that she was amazing! I could've at least gotten a thanks, rather than a bundle of negative comebacks!"

"You couldn't expect a warm `thank you' and a smile-you two aren't exactly on great speaking terms. She probably thought that you were trying to embarrass her or something-you know how she is." Sango said before the teacher told them to be quiet. They lowered their heads and began to work, until his attention was back on marking. Sango looked back to the row to her left and saw Kagome looking at her paper with droopy eyes. She looked back at the teacher and decided that it was safe enough to send a note.

She ripped a piece of paper out of her binder and wrote quickly, but eligible on it.

Kagome! Kouga told me that he heard Ayame sing and play! I can't believe it!

Sango

She folded up the note into a small quadrilateral and tossed it quickly onto her friend's desk. It took her a minute to realize that she had been hit with a note from Sango, but she opened it and pretended to read it like it was a part of her notes. Her eyes widened gradually as she read the note, but didn't look at her friend in an obvious give-away. She saw her go through her own spare paper and rip off her own small triangle of paper. She scribbled quickly and folded it almost the same size as Sango's. Kagome tossed it at Sango and she caught it without any problem. She opened it quickly, almost getting a paper cut.

What? You're not serious-she probably went crazy! She's probably tearing the whole dorm to pieces as we speak! I-this isn't-this can't be real. Oh god.

-Kagome

She was about ready to write another one when the teacher got up and made his way to the front of the classroom. All eyes followed him, and actions stilled.

"Get together with a partner and begin to start activity 4B on page 217 in your books." He said before retreating back to the mahogany desk that was piled with papers and books. Kagome took this chance to spring forward and rush over to Sango's side.

"Sango! This is really bad!" Kagome said with worried eyes. "We don't know what she's capable of."

"Don't worry about her; she wouldn't do anything to hurt herself." She said flipping through her textbook to the assigned page. "All we have to worry about is an angry girl ready to rip out a certain wolf's heart." Kagome gulped as mental images started to fill her head-all making her stomach swirl.

"Don't you think that we should go check on her-just to see if she's all right?" Kagome suggested looking around the room.

"Or we can leave her to chill out on her own. I don't really want to see her so close to the incident. It was a miracle I got there before she did anything too rash."

Kagome though about the possibilities of what Ayame could've done to Kouga if Sango hadn't gotten there. Ayame wasn't that threatening-until she got mad. Sango looked tough and acted tough-because she was. Ayame acted sweet and innocent with a slight grouchiness to it all-but she was pretty much scary when her temper flared.

"All right, let's just get this work done-I don't want any homework." Kagome said before going back to get her things.

Ayame walked into the cafeteria taking a spot next to Sango. She wasn't hungry, even though she hadn't had much save for that tuna sandwich. Her eyes were drooped and she looked like she had just woken up. She had lazily placed her hair into a messy bun at the top of her head in attempt to actually look decent.

"Welcome back to reality Ayame." Kagome said, digging into her mashed potatoes. Ayame gave her a short sarcastic look before setting her elbows on the table and resting her head tiredly.

"So what did I miss today ladies?" She asked looking out the French doors.

"Nothing, a boring movie and a few activities-not much homework I'd say." Sango said understanding the question. "You going to eat?"

"Nah." She said, but then heard her stomach growl loudly. "Maybe just a little bite." The three girls started to laugh all over again, just like nothing had happened.

Kouga and Inuyasha made their way back up to the rec room, already having stuffed themselves full of food. He hadn't noticed Ayame joining them in the cafeteria, already having taken his leave to go back to the dorms. He entered the room, looking around for the young wolf. When he saw that she wasn't there, he made his way over to the couch and lay down.

"You wolves are so damn lazy." Inuyasha huffed as he walked over to the bulletin board to check out the white notice that had been recently put up. He read it over before sighing loudly. "Come read this."

"Read what?" He asked with his eyes half-lidded.

"What I'm fucking looking at wolf. It's the fall survival training." He said, not too happy to announce it. Kouga got up off the couch and made his way over and read the sheet, his eyes widening as he neared the end.

"This is just fucking great. I mean we've already learnt this shit when we were younger! I practically grew up in the wilderness!" Kouga exclaimed.

"Yeah, I can tell." Inuyasha scoffed before retreating to a chair adjacent to the couch. Kouga followed suit after reading the notice again and sprawling back across the couch.

Fall survival training was the one thing that all third years were required to do. They were sent to a nearby forest that their official camp had been set up at the beginning of. They were mainly taught survival tactics and how to make it in the wild. At the end of their two days filled with training they were sorted off into pairs-a male and female-and then sent off into the wilderness with limited supplies. A flare gun, a map, and each other for company. For two days and three nights they were out there, surviving on their own. They weren't allowed to return to the actual camp unless you were rescued by the officials. If the emergency flare gun was used for anything other than needing help, then you would fail and have to attend next year's with your same partner. Your partner and you had to almost depend on one another, and trust them. You slept in the same tent, had to put up with your partner for the time and try to at least make it through with your 100% effort.

They were set to leave for Sunday, in a week's time. Monday and Tuesday were kept for their survival training, and then find their campsites on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday they were out there, testing their survival skills and their ability to tolerate their companion. Then they were to trek back to camp and head back to school on Sunday.

"Miroku's going to love this…" Inuyasha mumbled as he put a hand over his eyes.
