Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Real Roses Have Thorns ❯ Just Too Many Twist In a Turn ( Chapter 2 )

Angeltiger: Whew, that last chapter was a little on the dull side maybe. But the first few will be of the informative types. Gomen...

Kurama: Why? Things must be explained.

Angeltiger: Yes, I know...but I also know that people love action...

Kagome: They can get over it...I need a break...

Disclaimer:

Angeltiger: Honestly, if I owned Inuyasha I would pair Kagome up with Sesshomaru. If I owned Yu Yu Hakusho I would make Kurama the main character and make Kuwabara a scratching post for all those cats he adores. And oh the things I would do if I owned both of them at once...*giggles diabolically*

Inu and YuYu cast: *pales*

Real Roses Have Thorns

Ch. 2: Just too many turns in a twist...

"What do you mean I have to go back?"

"Exactly what I said, Kagome. It's already been four days! We have to collect more shards, and it's almost complete!"

Kagome's face turned red with anger, "I told you a week and I meant it Inuyasha! I still have things here that I need to do!"

The hanyou scowled, "Like take your stupid tests? Ch, c'mon Kagome. The jewel is more important than that."

She ignored him, grabbing her school backpack and storming to the door of the bedroom. Stupid Inuyasha, I can't go to college if I don't pass high school! Still seething, she stalked out of the room and slammed the door behind her, proceeding to walk down the stairs.

Inuyasha blinked. Did she just... "Kagome! Get your ass back up here! I'm not through with you!"

Kagome was silently thankful her mother had left for work and grandfather slept like a brick, and Souta had already left for school. Speaking of school...

"Inuyasha! I have to go or I'll be late!" She called, grabbing her lunch box and escaping through the front door before he could say anything else to her.

Inuyasha faltered, School? She was going now? It's so early in the morning! "Wait, Kagomeeeeee!"

But it was too late, she was already running off, trying to make it before the final bell rang. For fear of what she would do to him if he followed her, Inuyasha wisely returned to his own time, intent on coming back in a few hours to drag her back, kicking and screaming if need be.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Damn Koenma..." Yusuke growled, kicking a stray rock off of the concrete path. "I spend all my time trying to get away from school, and he decides to force me to go? And to a new one too..." He glared at his new royal blue uniform. He hated to admit it...but he sorely missed the green.

"It's not so bad Urameshi..." Kuwabara consoled, grinning haplessly at yet another beautiful girl who had turned her nose away from him. "Just look at all the pretty ladies."

"I'm not interested," Yusuke muttered, "I have Keiko..." He paled visibly, "Keiko!! I never got to tell her! Dammit..." I'm so dead!

A quiet "Hn" came from Hiei. He was currently seething that the brat of a prince had the gull to send him to a human school. He would have objected, but he knew he was still in repentance for stealing that damned sword. Nope... He told himself, Definitely not worth it...

Kurama on the other hand was having his own problems. For the girls that flicked their hair at Kuwabara in disgust immediately opened their eyes and cooed at the gorgeous redhead, forgetting Kuwabara even existed, the ran up to him, some fighting...some making their own weird little claims on him. Apparently, they had some sort of sixth sense about these things, what else could explain how it seemed that every girl in the yard shot towards him. It was getting ridiculous...

"Ooooh, who are you!?" One cooed.

"Back off blondie, this one's mine." A brunette growled.

The blond feigned innocence, batting her full eyelashes at her competition. "Oh? Aren't you dating that exchange student from America?"

The brunette's eyes flashed before giving Kurama a seductive glance. "I'll be right back." She sneered, no doubt going to break up with the poor guy just to get a chance at him. No sooner had she walked off than three more giggling girls took her place, all trying to cram themselves in closer to the 'hottie'.

This was the sight Kagome looked up to as she ran ahead. The two minute bell rang just as she crossed the street and the hormone crazed teens reluctantly detached themselves from their prey. Probably going to the bathroom for a 'group talk'. She mused, watching as the flustered redhead adjusted his clothing back to their normal position.

She sent a glare at the boy with way too much gel in his black hair. He was currently laughing at the redhead's predicament. She wished she could walk up and smack him for being so insensitive

He was joined by what Kagome could only describe as the ugliest human being she had ever seen. It was true she that she had seen uglier demons...but... She shook her head, ridding it of it's thoughts.

Quite possibly the only sane one of the bunch was a vertically challenged guy that just stood there taking no notice or care of what was going on around him, his black hair with white stripes seemed to defy gravity itself. Hmmm. He could have at least made more of an effort to hide his little secret.

She decided not to say anything to the group of people she could only assume as new. After all, it wasn't like she was always there to keep track of who was coming and who was going.

Kurama looked up seeing another girl with black hair and blue-ish highlights heading right towards him and the others. He inwardly cringed, but relaxed as she walked by them without so much as a double-take. At least there are some sane girls at this school. He sighed. This was going to be hell, pure and simple.

He had to remember to kill Koenma for this later.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile, Koenma was worried about things far greater than Kurama's quiet fury. The shadow was in his office, he could feel it. "Come out." he quivered.

"Ahhhh...Koenma." The black mist hissed, taking the form of a man with long black hair with wild waves flung about his back. Deep purple marks lined his eyes that looked suspiciously like eyeshadow. "If you know I am here, I can only presume you know why."

"I don't know, and I don't really want to-eep!" He flinched when a transparent hand shot forward, only to go right through his chest. His courage began to build, "You cannot hurt me here."

"You forget, it's only a matter of time before I do come here. To this very office Koenma, and do you know what I do to people that try to betray me?"

The prince gulped loudly and nodded, "I do..."

The misty male sneered, "Good. now tell me...why did you send your employees to Tokyo High? What could possibly be there?"

"I...uh...I figured they needed to educated-eep! I'm serious! I get sick of all the questions they should already know about basic studies."

The black-haired shadow lifted an eyebrow. Obviously he wasn't fooled by this farfetched explanation. "Very well Koenma, you have been given your chance. When I figure out your real reason...I will see to it that you suffer." He disappeared without missing a beat. The smokey haze vanished, as if there was nothing there in the first place.

Koenma sat back, a thin film of sweat layering his body. Sure the shadow had visited him before, but only by voice. It was completely new to actually see his enrapture up close. He's getting stronger! He realized, I hope they find that girl soon...or else we're all finished...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Crap, crap, crap, crap, CRAP! Kagome chanted, charging through the hallway at top speed. Of course her locker had to pick today to jam. Of course it did, she would have made it on time if it hadn't.

Skimming around the corner she forced herself to go faster. She glanced to the clock on the wall, 20 seconds. Almost there. almost theeere.

*thud*

After being flung back from the seemingly brick wall that had walked in front of her, Kagome sat up, rubbing her sore tail bone. "Owwwww..."

"Sorry about that, I didn't see you there."

She looked up, only to see that -thing that had been with the redhead's group only a few minutes ago. She paled when he kneeled next to her and opened her mouth to scream. But before she got any sound out, she felt two hands on either arm lifting her up. She went to smile at her saviors, but found them to be non other than gel-boy and the chick magnet. Short-stuff was standing a few feet away with an extremely bored look on his face.

She growled softly when the late bell rang and looked longingly as the door to her classroom closed only a few meters away. Her teacher had told her yesterday that if she were late one more time, she would get a detention. Suddenly, something snapped.

"You jerk!" She shrieked, "I would have made it on time too! Why don't you watch where your going!? Now I'm gonna get a detent-"

"Ms. Higurashi!"

Kagome paled. Her principal walked in front of her, looking down at her with a grim look on his face. "I don't think this is how we welcome new students."

"I...uhh....Sorry!" She took a quick bow and looked back up, hoping he would dismiss her.

No such luck, "And as for your being tardy, I-"

"Excuse me, sir." Kurama stepped up to the plate.

"Yes, Minamino?"

"It was entirely our fault she was late." He looked towards the door he had seen the girl staring at. "She would have made it in time."

"Oh?" He paused, weighing his options. "Very well then." Yay, home run. "Higurashi?"

She straightened up, "Yes, sir?"

"Since I do have matters to attend to, I shall tell your teacher you are assisting me. You will show each of our students their classes."

She flashed a smile that brightened the room. "Thank you so much sir!"

The principal waved it off, "Never mind. Just get to it."

She nodded and led the way, four boys with four different expressions in tow.

She principal turned around right in front of the door to her classroom, "Oh, and Kagome."

She bristled, confused he used her first name. "Yeah?"

"Good luck with your chemo."

She looked lost, "Chemo?"

He nodded gravely, "For the leukemia."

Her eyes bulged and she looked like as if to say something else, but thought against it. "Yes, thank you sir." She spun on her heel, a slight stomp to her step. GRANDPA!!

The boys had to power-walk to keep up, Hiei blinking in surprise as he heard her mental shout. What does her grandfather have to do with anything?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Angeltiger: *sigh* I'm not too happy with this chapter either.

Kurama: Why?

Angeltiger: Well...it seemed more on the boring side...

Inuyasha: I would think you would be used to that by now.

Angeltiger: Noooot helping.

Inu-cast+Kurama: *glares at Inu*

Inuyasha: What?

Angeltiger: Help me out people, what can I do to please you? I'm not having them rush into anything, I don't belive in that in fanfiction. But I do want this to be entertaining. And I have soooo many evil ideas for a Sango/Hiei pairing...

Kagome: That would definitely be entertaining.

Angeltiger: Thanks Kagome-chan. Oh yeah. *hold up a box of M&M Kudos* Though I don't own the M&M or Kudos logos, I did buy this fair and square at the supermarket.

Inu-cast: *gasps*

Inuyasha: She didn't steal something?

Sesshoumaru: Leave her alone...*snicker*

Angeltiger: No, I didn't steal it. *growls and turns to audience* I'll give free Kudos to anyone who can tell me who the 'shadow' is. Heehehehe....
