Ch. 4 Unexpected Surprises
 
 
 
Brriing… brriing…
 
The tardy bell rang throughout the school as students barely made it to their assigned classes before they were marked tardy.
 
In class Kikyo could be seen flirting shamelessly with her classmates and trying to make Inuyasha jealous, but it never seized to amaze her when it didn't work.
 
“Hey Inuyasha…” Inuyasha looked up to see a wide range of cleavage from one the town's most promiscuous student.
 
“Yura.” Inuyasha said threateningly like her name alone was completely disgusting, as he lowered his face and glared at her like she'd just offended him.
 
But clueless as she was she couldn't tell the difference if her life depended on it. So she sat turned around in her seat looking at him seductively and winking. “You know since I think it's pretty safe to say you're not attached as of right now… umm maybe you could come over to my place tonight and we could play some games… or uh… something.” Yura flirted stupidly glancing in-between his legs as she twiddled her short black hair on her index finger and batted her thick plastic eyelashes while she chomped on her bubble gum. Giving him a completely fake and super cheesy smile she whispered “So…hmm what'll it be... Inuyasha.”
 
Surprisingly Kikyo was oblivious to this flirting Yura was doing with her boyfriend and so she continued to chat it up to even more superficial people about pointless things like breaking her $50 nails.
 
Unfortunately right before Inuyasha had a chance to give this slut a piece of his mind he heard Mr. Hirano start up, obviously prepared to start the class.
 
After the students were finally situated and got their materials out Mr. Hirano noticed with impatience that most of his students weren't in their assigned seats and so he began taking attendance.
 
“Kikyo Haya?”
 
“Here.”
 
“Kouga Shoten?”
 
“Here.”
 
Inuyasha Takahashi?”
 
“Present.”
 
“Kagome Higurashi?”
 
“….” Clearing his throat…
 
“Kagome Higurashi?”
 
“I sit right next to the wench… she ain't here.” Inuyasha mumbled trying to ignore his headache with his head stuffed into his folded arms on the desk.
 
Mr. Hirano was a little hesitant on this one but it had to be done due to class rules. “Well then Inuyasha, you can do Kagome the honor of dropping off her homework for her.”
 
Instantly Inuyasha shot straight up, making his seat flip backward and cause an annoying clanging sound, “what!? There is no way I'm going to that imbecile's house. There has to be someone else who'll do it!” Inuyasha's voice carried throughout the schools hallways as he extenuated his point by throwing his arms out at his sides and over his head. Once again he was freaking out over the Higurashi issue.
 
But the teacher wasn't backing down, he knew he would expect only this from Inuyasha and so he decided this was punishment enough and decided not to give him detention for his outburst. “Nope, unfortunately it's the partners' responsibility to make sure the other one stays informed of the new material. Since your partner is sick you will have to let her know what has been taught today so she is prepared for the test I will be handing out in a week.” Mr. Hirano said professionally as he locked eyes with Inuyasha daring him to contradict what he was saying.
 
“Ugh, I just knew that bitch was going to give you trouble.” Kikyo whispered in the back of the classroom low enough so that only Inuyasha could hear it. But the only thing Inuyasha could hear was his ragged breathing and pounding heart in his ears, he just knew this stupid teacher was doing this on purpose.
 
Feeling defeated and not wanting any further punishment because of that bitch Kagome he slammed his hand down hard on the wooden desk making the whole class jump in their seats, frightening most students while his weak desk cracked under pressure. “Whatever, so where's this streetwalker live anyway, a shack?” Inuyasha growled, cracking the whole class up at his crude insult towards Kagome, little did they know he was serious.
 
“Don't worry about that. I'll let you know after school, when I hand you her homework.” The teacher said sternly, dropping the subject as he glared at Inuyasha for being such a pain. He wasn't going to push the issue with Inuyasha and suggest that it'd be kind and studious to go to all of her classes and collect all of her homework for her. He might not be conscious afterward.

`I can't believe my bad luck. Is this some kind of voodoo curse from those bitches I used to date? I'll just set this shit down on her doorstep and knock then walk away, so I won't have to see her ugly face any longer than I can stand.” Inuyasha thought roughly kicking pebbles along on the sidewalk.
 
`Ok, so this is it, the old Higurashi shrine. Well not as a bad as a shack, but not a beautiful sight to look at either.' Inuyasha reasoned as he jumped the 50 steps leading up to the shrine.
 
Inuyasha never got a chance to ring the doorbell before a pretty woman looking almost identical to Kagome and twice her age answered the door, looking like she was prepared to go somewhere, with her purse in her hands.
 
“Oh, hello there, can I help you,” Mrs. Higurashi asked politely with a warm smile.
 
“Uhh, yeah these are for Kagome, I'm Inuyasha by the way,” Inuyasha said nervously as he practically shoved the papers into the older woman's hands. “It's a bunch of homework she missed in science class today. I was made to deliver it because she's my lab partner.” Inuyasha explained quickly while looking down at his feet. `Why am I so damn nervous? It's just that idiot's mom.'
 
He got jumpy when she began talking again.
 
“Oh, why thank you, I'm sure she'll appreciate this since she was too sick to make it to school today. Say, why don't you come in for a cup of tea? It's the least I can do for you for delivering these.” Mrs. Higurashi said politely while stepping out the way, motioning for him to come in and sit down.
 
`No way, there's no way I'm walking into this death trap.' Inuyasha briefly thought being cautious but then decided against it,
 
“Alright, but only for a minute, I have places to be.” Inuyasha said priggishly, acting impatient as he barged into the house. He couldn't turn down a nice old woman's offer for tea and he couldn't pretend like he was afraid of a nice old woman either.
 
Inuyasha got a rude awakening as he stepped into the ancient shrine. The scent of sickness hit him like a brick in the face. `Man, what's this wench got; a deadly disease or something? Not only does it smell a little muggy in here but it smells oddly like death too,' Inuyasha thought holding his offended nose.
 
“If you just sit down in the kitchen, it'll be ready in a minute. I have to deliver these to Kagome then I'll be right back down.” Mrs. Higurashi said graciously as she turned to make her way up the stairs leaving Inuyasha alone with his thoughts as he looked around the furnished home and took a seat at the table.
 
Inuyasha sat down, tapping his claws impatiently on the table searching for something to concentrate his attention on. He looked down at his watch while he continued tapping his claws against the wooden table, if he wasn't careful he would create little dents in the surface.
 
Now Inuyasha admits to being impatient but this was ridiculous, it had already been 10 minutes and still no sign of life anywhere, except that plant sitting on the window sill, but that hardly counted.
 
He couldn't just leave, that would be beyond rude, and although Inuyasha's character was based around the word `rude' he still had a certain amount of respect for his elders. Instead he'd just go see what was taking so long, without too much hesitation he decided to just get up and see what the holdup was.
 
Inuyasha quickly made his way up the stairs and stopped. Which room was she in? How was he supposed to know, all four doors were shut? He would just have to listen for voices. The second he heard Kagome talking he could tell which room she was in, not to mention she was definitely plugged up. Bingo.
 
Walking speedily to the last door on the right without even pausing he unexpectedly threw her door wide open without knocking and got way more than he bargained for.
 
There stood Kagome in absolutely nothing but her underwear talking on the phone in front of her dresser.
 
Luckily for both of them she was turned in the opposite direction and completely oblivious that a stranger had just barged into her room.
 
Without thinking Inuyasha said something that would taunt his life forever.
 
“Wow…” Inuyasha let slip breathlessly in a daze as he started leaning forward loosing his balance as he felt the ground move, or maybe it was him but he couldn't tell as he gripped the door handle a little harder.
 
Giving notice that she wasn't alone, Kagome abruptly whipped around and what she saw made her drop the phone as she stood there completely shocked and tensed up, until a second later when her senses came flooding back.
 
“Oh my god! How long have you been standing there!?!?” Kagome shrieked as she ran to her desk and picked up her paperweight. “PERVERT!” Kagome bellowed then threw the paperweight with all the force her skinny arms could muster, causing a huge dent in her door.
 
The second Inuyasha seen her pick up the paperweight he did the only thing logical. He slammed Kagomes door shut, ran down the narrow hallway and down the steep stairs, passing Mrs. Higurashi on the way out screaming, “Sorry can't stay, maybe some other time.” `Wait, what am I thinking, there's no way I'm coming back here,' Inuyasha thought frantically as he opened the front door and practically flew out of it letting it slam on his way out and making the whole house shake.
 
“Well oh my.” Mrs. Higurashi said nearly breathless as she opened the door to watch him still running away.
 
 
“Kagome! Kagome! Are you ok? What the hell just happened?” Sango could be heard screaming into the receiver on Kagome's plush pink carpet.
 
“Oh…my… god… I can't believe that just happened,” Kagome whispered in a trance eyes wide as golf balls as she tried to calm down her uneasy breathing and bend over to pick up the phone shakily. She was going to have a little chat with her mother after she explained what happened to Sango.
 
~<3 ~<3 ~<3 ~<3
 
`What the hell just happened back there, what did I just do? Oh my god I can't believe I just barged into Kagome Higurashis room! I can't believe I sat there staring! And why the hell did I say that!' Inuyasha growled as he silently berated himself still stunned and infuriated as he ran farther down the street looking crazy by passersby, cold wind smacking him in the face, and whipping his hair around as he tried to run off this anxiety attack.
 
When Inuyasha finally made it home he slammed his huge new glass doors his parents had just invested in and ran up the main staircase and straight to his room. Not even stopping to hear their oldest butler Jaken rant on about shutting the doors properly. Inuyasha didn't have the patience right now to deal with that thing. He had a lot of thinking to do.
 
Even though he really hated Kagome more than most things and was going to have to deal with the drama of all this at school tomorrow, plus not to mention the whole new awkward situation that put him and Kagome in, the only thing Inuyasha could think as of right now was, `I swear I'd seen a heart tattoo on Kagomes hip.'
