InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Short Bus ❯ Lunch Time ( Chapter 5 )

Kagome's family was weird. They made more than enough money to not qualify for free lunch, but apparently not enough to pat full price for Kagome's lunch. So she brought a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a Mountain Dew in a brown paper sack for lunch today. And every day in the future.

 

Inuyasha walked out the door and returned a few moments later carrying a metal cookie sheet with three lunch trays on it. He set the cookie sheet on the table and took off one tray. Carrying the tray to a door on the side of the room, which Kagome had no clue as to what it was or where it went to, he opened it and walked inside. Then he shut the door.

 

Kagome looked at the door for a second too long and Miss. Peterson seemed to notice what she was looking at. “Inuyasha doesn't like people to see him eat. I guess he views it as a weakness or something. So he eats in the side room”

 

Kagome shrugged and pulled out her own lunch while Jonathon and Chris took their lunches too. Kagome had a few more questions.

 

“Miss. Peterson, why are there two teacher's desks? I saw that the aid sat there during rotation group, but why don't you have an aid?”

 

“Well, Kagome, our last aid just left us and our new aid, Miss. Rachel, won't be here until Thursday.”

 

“Oh…” She wanted to ask why the last aid had left, but that might be considered rude. So she stuck with her monosyllabic answer.

 

As Kagome was finishing up her sandwich Inuyasha opened the door of the side room and carried an empty tray out. He glanced at her and seeing her Mountain Dew he perked up.

 

“Do you want to be really nice to me?” He asked throwing his cardboard tray away.

 

“Um… I guess, depends on what it is.” Kagome started fidgeting with her choker.

 

Inuyasha looked at Miss. Peterson who was arguing with Jonathon. “Don't worry I'll make it worth your while. I'll give you a nickel if you tickle my pickle.”

 

Kagome tried to swallow the feeling which she couldn't identify. He just offered what? But what could she do? She hadn't ever done anything like that before she had only even made out with one person before. And that was a girl! “Um… I…”

 

“Just fucking with you, I just wanted some soda.” Inuyasha grinned.

 

“Oh, sure. You want half first or second?” Kagome sighed a sigh of relief.

“First of course.” He opened the pop can. “But my offer does still stand on what I said earlier.” Winking he chugged more than half of the soda and handed it back.

 

“Sure okay…” She wasn't really thinking, she had only paid attention to his first statement. But when she realized what she had just agreed to she foundered. “Wait no! Not okay to that, okay to you drinking my soda.”

 

“I like the way that sounds. I'd drink your soda any day.”

 

“Oh gee. Look, lunch is almost over.” Kagome said, changing the subject, “I'd better throw this away.” She drank the rest of the Mountain Dew and threw her trash away.

 

“Miss. Peterson,” Inuyasha interrupted his teacher, “can I read in the side room please?”

 

“Fine Inuyasha.”

 

Inuyasha grabbed his book, Dracula, and walked back to the side room. This time however he didn't close the door all the way. Kagome had a clear view of the room now. Well, room was a bit of an over-statement, it looked more like a closet. The thing was that Miss. Peterson, from where she was, couldn't see Inuyasha at all. And Inuyasha knew it. He made sure Kagome was looking at him and then out of nowhere, lifted his shirt to show off an extremely well defined chest and abdomen. He then proceeded to rub various parts of his torso.

 

Kagome tried to focus on her book. Catcher in the Rye was a great book. She had to read it. Had to stay focused. But she knew she couldn't, not when Inuyasha was being so blatantly `fuck-me-ish.'

 

Finally reading time was over. The only subject left was math. Kagome hated math. It was so annoying. Sure she did okay in Algebra I, getting a B. Then she excelled in Geometry, getting an A with honors. But she still hated math!

 

“Kagome, its math time, but we don't have an Algebra II book yet. So you don't have to do anything until we get one. I' placed an order last week, so maybe by Monday we'll get it. And you and Inuyasha will work with Miss. Rachel. She'll take you to one of the rooms off the office.”

 

“So what do you want me to do now?” Kagome hated not doing anything.

 

“You can help Inuyasha.”

 

“But I'm in Algebra II.”

 

“And he's in Algebra I. I'm sure you can do fine.” Miss. Peterson turned her back on Kagome and started talking to Chris about how many dimes were in a dollar.

 

“Yeah, Kagome, you can help me.” Inuyasha said huskily.

 

“So what grade are you in?” Kagome had thought he was older than her, really, he looked it.

 

“I'm a Freshie. What are you a Junior?”

 

“Sophomore. Well I have enough credits to be a Junior, I'm in Junior classes, but age wise I'm a Sophomore.” Kagome had started high school online when she was in eighth grade. She had also goofed off all seventh grade year. This led her to the belief that middle school was completely unnecessary.

 

“I asked if you were a Junior. Not all that other shit. Not do this for me.” He said handing her his math book.

 

“Right,” she looked at the problem `What percent is 30 of 90' “Um… you sure you can't do this one?”

 

“Fine, be a bitch.” He looked at the book. “So what do you do?”

 

“You put 30 over 90 then x over 100 and cross multiply.” Kagome liked helping people in school. It made her feel really smart and gave her a sense of satisfaction, but Inuyasha wasn't giving her that feeling.

 

He worked the problem on a piece of scratch paper and circled his answer. “So it's… 33.33%?” Inuyasha asked hesitantly. He was smart in everything except math.

 

“Exactly! Good job.” Kagome was getting that feeling of satisfaction again. “But that was a pretty easy problem. Let's try the next one.”

 

They worked on math for a while and before she knew it, it was time to start cleaning up.

 

“Make sure your point sheets are filled out and bring them to me to sign. You all know the drill.” Miss. Peterson addressed the class.

 

Kagome pulled out her point sheet and gave herself all threes. She also wrote in the twenty-five bonus points she got. In addition to turning in the point sheet, she also had to turn in a deposit slip and write down all the points she got in a check book. There was fifteen minutes to do that at the end of the day but it hardly seemed enough time. Kagome figured she'd get used to it and soon enough she'd be able to write everything down quickly.

 

They all walked to the door and stood in line. Inuyasha was holding a black baseball cap with a white nautical star on it.

 

“Why didn't you wear that today?” Kagome asked him.

 

“Because we're not allowed to. Dur, dur, dur.” He said the last part as a mentally challenged person would.

 

Kagome clenched a fist. How could this guy talk to her like that? He needed a serious attitude adjustment.

 

As the walked out the door across the gym Inuyasha handed Kagome his hat. “Hold this while I pretty myself up.” He pulled a black and white bandana and tied it around his head.

 

Kagome looked at the hat and stuck to the inside was a yellow post-it note. She pulled it out surreptitiously and read it.

Bunnie: Oooh you gave her your phone number!

 

Inuyasha: I can do Algebra!

 

Bunnie: Not very well.

 

Kagome: Why do I like him if he's such an ass?

 

Bunnie: Good question. I'll let you know as soon as I figure it out. Oh and don't go through all the area codes in the world and pair it up with that number. I just wanted it to look real. It would be lame if I had put like 555 or *** or something…
