Unrighteous Anger

"There's no point for me to sit here for a whole week while Inuyasha is being purged of his poison." Kagome announced after she finished her cup of tea. "Tell me how he's faring tomorrow, Kouga." she murmured lazily while heading out of the nurse's office.

"Wait, I don't want to watch dog-breath!" Kouga complained with a look disdain etched on his face. "And it's not like he's going to die if I leave." he argued with a grin. "But I do need to make sure my woman gets back to her dormitory safely."

"Kouga, just watch over Inuyasha, please?" Kagome asked in a tried voice, one that Kouga could not refuse. Grudgingly, Kouga nodded his consent, but couldn't stop himself from throwing a dirty glare towards Inuyasha's slumbering form. Giving Kouga a small wave of good-bye, Kagome hurriedly exited the nurse's office.

Not long afterwards, Kagome found her legs carrying her towards her dormitory. The night seemed to drag on forever to Kagome, which was extremely rare. Keeping her eyes on her feet, Kagome allowed her subconscious to take control. Maybe it wasn't such a great idea, because she found herself laying flat on her bottom the next second. Scowling in annoyance, Kagome angrily lifted her head and barely controlled her stream of vulgar curses.

"Are you okay?" a silky voice asked, lending a hand to help Kagome up. Without glancing at the person, Kagome angrily swiped the hand away. Dusting herself off, she turned to glare at the stranger, only to find he wasn't a stranger. "K-Kagome, are you okay?"

"Shuichi, what are you doing out here so late?" Kagome asked, slightly startled. "It's going to be daybreak in a few hours."

"I was looking for you," Shuichi admitted. "And I want to apologize for not picking you up today. I got sidetracked when I found Maya today." he explained, a small smile on his lips. "She hasn't changed at all." A dark look crossed Kagome's face as she forced on a smile.

"Maya is your girlfriend, is she not?" Kagome whispered softly, setting her lips in a straight line. "I'm happy for you. Congratulations, you're finally reunited with the one you've been searching for. Introduce me to her sometime, won't you?" she asked, her voice cracking slightly. "What is wrong with me? Why do I feel like crying all of a sudden?" she silently asked herself. "Excuse me; I need to go for a walk in the park." Kagome muttered while brushing past her roommate.

"Wait, I'll come with you." Shuichi offered, but Kagome just deftly shook her head from side to side. Kagome wanted to retort with a no, but couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse his companionship. Stiffly nodding her head, the two of them walked in silence towards the park.

They were both equally surprised when they discovered that they weren't the only ones taking a midnight stroll during this ungodly time. The crazy matchmakers were standing in the middle of the road, grinning wolfishly at them. Krystal took a predatory step forward, followed by Mari. Together, the two circled Kagome and Kurama like a vulture would with dead flesh.

"Don't they just make such a cute couple?" Krystal cooed, much to Mari's distaste. "See, I was right all along! They will be the number one couple on this campus! That's one point to Krystal, the best matchmaker in the world!" Mari growled as she refused to admit defeat.

"They aren't THAT cute of a couple!" Mari angrily retorted, crossing her arms over her chest. "I'd still say opposites are better matched!" Shuichi and Kagome were left speechless as the two matchmakers argued relentlessly with each other.

"That's enough!" roared Kagome, much to everyone's surprise. "You're making Shuichi uncomfortable!" she spat uncharacteristically. "Don't you know he already has a girlfriend? What would she think if she was here this second? If you can't even tell a real couple from just plain friends, then you should not be entitled to the name matchmakers! Now move! You two are in MY way!"

Mari and Krystal quickly stepped aside as Kagome stormed down the road with Shuichi trying to calm her. Mari smirked at Krystal before turning her nose into the air. "They AREN'T a couple," she singed happily, causing Krystal to growl.

"Not yet," Krystal replied. "But I have my sights set on MAKING them a couple. I'm not giving up." she stated before storming in the opposite direction of Kagome. "Are you coming or not?" she yelled over her back to her companion, who was still on cloud nine from Kagome's outburst.

"Maybe YOU should be MY assistant! I mean, I think I make a better matchmaker, don't you?" Mari asked with a wide grin on her lips.

"Keep on dreaming." Krystal retorted, barely concealing her rage at losing this battle. But she promised herself that she would not lose the war. Shuichi and Kagome were going to become a couple if it was the last thing she did. She'd show Mari that there's only room for ONE matchmaker, which would, of course, be her.

Shuichi wasn't sure what was wrong, but he could practically feel Kagome's anger rolling off in waves the next morning. He had assured her that the statements made by Krystal and Mari would not hurt his and Maya's relationship, but surprisingly, his words only seemed to fuel her anger.

Ever since his statement, Kagome had refused to say a single word to him. He wasn't sure what he did that upset Kagome so much. Maybe she was still mad at him for forgetting to pick her up. He wasn't sure, but there wasn't any other reasons, right? He sighed when Kagome walked out of the bathroom with dripping wet hair. She hefted her backpack onto her shoulder and stormed out of the room. That's what it had been like for the passed three days.

He walked to school alone after he slowly finished his breakfast. If he walked anywhere near his roommate, she would become even more furious. So instead, he joined Maya, his girlfriend half-way towards school. They walked in relative silence, hand in hand, drawing the envy of everyone they met.

"Up already Inuyasha?" taunted a familiar voice once the couple set foot on campus.

"Don't tell me you care." Inuyasha smirked. "But a little poison like that wouldn't be able to harm me anyway."

"Yes, that's why you were knocked out for three days straight." Kagome snorted. Inuyasha growled before lunging towards Kagome, intent on strangling the annoying girl with his bare hands. "Resorting to violence?" she asked while dodging Inuyasha's onslaught.

"Wench, what is with you today?!?" Inuyasha demanded hotly. "It's as if you're looking for a fight!" he growled through clenched teeth. Kagome's smiled faltered while narrowing her blue eyes.

"Am I?" she asked herself, lost in her own thought. Forgetting Inuyasha was still swinging his fists, Kagome received a hard blow to the cheek at her momentarily lapse of inattentiveness. Inuyasha reeled back in surprised when Kagome stumbled backwards, landing on her backside. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?" Kagome inwardly screamed, but there were no given answers.

Having seen the whole exchange, Shuichi quickly rushed towards Kagome with Maya in tow. Inuyasha looked to be in denial as Kagome pushed herself into a sitting position. "Are you all right?" Shuichi asked worriedly as he crouched next to Kagome. "Do you need to go see the nurse?"

Pulling herself up, Kagome stood on wobbly legs as she smirked at Inuyasha. "I loose this round, but you won't be so lucky next time." she announced as she swiped the blood that was dripping from the corner of her mouth. "We'll continue this another time." Kagome announced, pointing a finger at Inuyasha.

Turning her attention from her rival, she locked gazes with Shuichi's worried ones. Then her eyes traveled to the petite form behind him. "This is Maya. Maya this is Kagome." Shuichi pleasantly introduced as his girlfriend stepped out from behind him. Noticing their intertwined hands, a sneer came unbidden from her lips.

"Hey wench," Inuyasha called, but it lost its usual edge. "What's wrong with you today?" Shaking her head, Kagome turned her back to her roommate and his girlfriend. "That punch rattled your brains are something?"

"In your dreams," Kagome retorted, lightly punching Inuyasha on the arm. "Come on, walk me to class."

"Heck no!" yelled Inuyasha. "I'm not going to be your boyfriend. You can't just make me become your boyfriend when your sissy boyfriend gets a girlfriend!" Inuyasha rambled, causing Kagome to quirk an eyebrow.

"Did I ask you to be my boyfriend?" Kagome asked skeptically with an uncharacteristic snort. "Plus, that sissy boy as you put it, is and never was my boyfriend. If you don't want to walk me to class, then just say it. You don't have to ramble on like an idiot."

"Who are you calling an idiot, idiot?!?" Inuyasha growled out of habit.

"I'm calling you an idiot, idiot." Kagome replied as she strutted towards her class. Shuichi and Maya followed the two bickering rivals into the school, slightly confused as why they were arguing again. Shuichi was feeling troubled by Kagome's harsh words…she had never referred to him as sissy before. What was going on?

"YOU'RE THE IDIOT!" Inuyasha yelled, his voice reverberating through the school, causing everyone to grimace - even himself.
