Regrets of a Lifetime by Sweet and Sour Suki

Welcome To Shikon High!

Boys and girls, I have only one thing to say to you before I begin this challenge by my good friend Pandaburr... Gambling... is BAD. Okay. On to the story that will most definitely prove my point! Don't laugh too hard, wouldn't want to embarrass yourself and find yet ANOTHER pair of pants to wear while reading Suki's works. Ha, ha, y'all know I'm just kidding.

|Disclaimer|

--- If I owned InuYasha, Sesshy and Kagome would've had grandkids by now, and the restraining order between myself and Rumiko Takahashi would be non-existant. ---

"Here's what ya'll wanted to see so bad..."

'Hmm... I wonder what it would be like if I was on the beach right now... Instead of science class... With the sand under me feet... and the sun would be out... and I could hear the waves...'

"HIGURASHI!" A demanding voice jarred Kagome from her sudden sleep, and she bolted up into a sitting position, wiping wetness off of her chin. Ugh... was that drool? How embarrassing!

"Y-yes Mr. Okinawa?" She stuttered, blushing furiously. The classmates around her stifled their giggles, while her best friend Sango (who was sitting to her left) looked at her pityingly.

"I don't recall earth science being changed into nap time! Or did I just not get the notice!?" Her science teacher, Ryochi Okinawa loomed over her, pushing his glasses farther up his long nose. He sniffed. Allergies acting up again...

Kagome quickly stood up to make her apology.

"N-No Mr. Okinawa... It wasn't... I just..."

The bell rang, and students jumped from their seats, gathering their book bags and textbooks, and then stampeded out the door. Mr. Okinawa glared at them.

"We will continue this discussion tomorrow, Miss Higurashi. Until then, I suggest you hurry up to your next class." He sighed, and then sneezed violently, turning around just in time to spray snot AWAY from Kagome's face. Kagome muttered a quick apology and scurried out of the room, sighing in relief once she reached the hallway where Sango was waiting for her.

" Whew! That was too close for comfort!" Kagome sweat dropped, heading for her locker.

"I know! You totally almost got busted BIG time by Okinawa! That man is a real grouch..." Sango twisted around to glare at the science classroom. Kagome shook her head.

"No... That's not what I meant! I almost got attacked by Okinawa's boogers!" She cried out in exasperation, slinging her carryall across one shoulder. Sango blinked.

"You... what?"

"I mean, has he ever heard of Flonase? Or at least Dayquil or SOMETHING..." Kagome continued to grumble, ignoring Sango's obvious confusion. Sango rolled her eyes as they approached the locker the two shared.

"Great. Incoming..." She whispered to her friend.

"Huh?" Kagome looked up and grimaced when she saw Miroku and Kouga hanging out near their locker, apparently waiting for the girls. "Aw man..."

"Break for it?" Sango suggested, glancing around to see if they had a clear path. Kagome sighed and shook her head.

"My math book is in my locker! I need it for Takeda's class!" She exclaimed, slowing down as they approached the two seniors. Sango sighed but stuck by her friend. Better to be with a buddy then alone around these certain males.

As the two came nearer, Miroku saw them and poke Kouga, indicating for him to turn around. The handsome but slightly disheveled seventeen year old turned and grinned as he glanced up and down Kagome, who in turn groaned.

"Boys..." She greeted in a monotone voice, narrowing her eyes at the two. Sango kept her gaze on Miroku's hands, suspicious to their antics.

"Kagome! My little kitten... Give me a kiss hello?" Kouga opened his arms to the girl. She rolled her eyes.

"How 'bout no... and would you please move? I need to get into my locker..." Kagome eyed the metal contraption behind him. So near, yet so far! Damn those horny boys!

"What's the password?" Miroku grinned, reaching for Sango's hand. She jumped out of the way, sticking her tongue out at him. Kagome raised her fist.

"Beat it or eat it!" She snickered. Kouga raised an eyebrow, then began to laugh.

"Honey, you couldn't hit me if you tried!" He gurgled. Kagome fumed. She'd show him!

"Is there a problem here?" A sudden elderly but stern voice interrupted. Kagome instantly yanked her fist from the air, seeing their principal, Ms. Kaede, standing behind them, arms held behind her back. Kouga and Miroku tried to edge away, but the lady was sharp for an old fogey.

"Hold it! Kouga, Miroku, are you giving these girls trouble AGAIN!?" She growled at the two. Miroku sweat dropped as Kouga stuttered,

"N-No, Ms. Kaede ma'am... we were just...helping them with their locker... it seems to be jammed..." Kouga faked jiggling the handle on the locker door to prove his point. Kagome rolled her eyes at such a stupid excuse.

"Yeah and uh... they needed some help with their... baggage... I MEAN uh... their, back packs!" Miroku tore his eyes away from Sango's chest with pure force of will, staring at the ceiling instead. Sango growled deep in her throat and glared at the hentai. Ms. Kaede glanced at the girls.

"Kagome, Sango, is this true? I know how these boys are so I only assumed..."

"Believe me ma'am, we can handle it..." Kagome smirked, turning on Kouga, who suddenly felt like he should run. Fast. Kaede nodded and resume walking down the hall. The boys sighed in relief.

"Whoa... thanks for saving us, Kagome." Kouga gave her a genuine smile. Kagome couldn't help but grin, and she slapped Kouga playfully in the arm.

"Next time you'll remember not to flirt with us until school hours are over." She exclaimed pointedly, reaching behind the senior and easily opening her locker. She grabbed her math book, switching it for her science one, and gently shut it.

"Aw... But it's so fun..." Kouga wrapped his arms around Kagome's waist. Kagome rolled her eyes and pried his limbs from her.

"We're gonna be late for class, thanks to you!" She protested. Kouga sighed, but backed away.

"One day Kagome, you'll be mine again. One day soon..." He promised her as he grabbed a drooling Miroku by the ear and hauled him down the hallway. Kagome snorted and shook her head, watching Miroku wave dreamily at them as they turned the corner.

"You'd think after three years of going to school with that boy he'd give up by now." Sango grimaced as the girls headed for math.

"Yeah well, Kouga is very persistent..." Kagome sighed, glancing behind her one last time. "Ever since we broke up last month, he's been trying everything to win me back. Usually, it would work, but every time I see him I'm reminded of his arms around that Ayame girl, shoving his tongue down her throat." She growled. Sango blinked.

"I was talking about Miroku. But I guess that makes sense too." She grinned. Kagome sighed and they entered the class to take their seats. Just another day at Shikon High...

"Miroku? Where the hell were you?" A tall, handsome man with silver hair turned as Kouga approached with Miroku and tow. He eyed them, but then mentally shrugged, not really caring what was causing the perverted flushes on both the men's faces.

"Sorry Lord Sesshomaru," Miroku exclaimed sarcastically, standing up straight and smiling at his friend. "But we came across some very lovely damsels in distress and had to save them..." His eyes glazed over as he thought of Sango.

Sesshomaru raised a delicate eyebrow.

'Probably more like harassing them...'

"I'm leaving for lunch. You two coming?" He said over his shoulder, looking for something in the empty classroom he was in. Kouga yawned, but nodded.

"Yeah sure. Where's InuYasha? Isn't he coming?"

"That insolent brother of mine is not welcome to join us if he cannot show up on time." Sesshomaru growled, flipping over a desk on accident in his frustration. "Where the hell are my books!? I put them right here and now I can't seem to find them..."

"Sesshomaru!" Someone squealed behind them. Miroku turned around and snickered as Sesshomaru went rigid at the familiar voice. Kouga shoved his fist in his mouth to keep from laughing as a young freshmen girl skipped over to the drop dead gorgeous senior. She had the works: braces, freckles, glasses, a pig nose, beady eyes, horrible acne, and pig tails that bobbed up and down with her movements. She was at least three feet shorter then Sesshomaru, and only came up to his waist as she approached him, holding up his 'lost' books.

"Here are your books, Sesshomaru! I was going to carry them for you to your locker, but when I got there, you weren't there! So I came back and here you are!" She grinned, still holding the books in front of her.

"Jaken, we have discussed this..." Sesshomaru snatched his books from the girl's grasp, growling at her. Her smile didn't waver. She was obviously an imbecile. "How many times do I have to remind you... I have a RESTRAINING ORDER on you. Come within twenty feet of me, and I haul you into juvenile hall, got it?" He snapped. Jaken (her parents had desperately wanted a boy) began to tear up, and ran from the room in a gut-wrenching cry that made Miroku and Kouga covered their ears. InuYasha entered the room with a sneer on his face.

"Just break another girl's heart, brother?" He laughed as Sesshomaru glared icily at him.

"You've got to be kidding me." He muttered under his breath, taking his books up and going into the hall to shove them into his locker. "The girl is obsessed with me, obviously."

"Is that so?" A mysterious gleam came to InuYasha's eyes as he watched his brother. "Well I think the feeling is pretty mutual, don't you agree?'

Sesshomaru slammed his locker shut upon hearing this, and whirled around to face InuYasha.

"I would take that statement back if I were you, you mangy mutt." He growled menacingly.

"But you're not me." InuYasha sneered back.

"And I thank God every day."

Fire erupted in between them as it poured out of their eyes. If someone didn't do something, they'd have yet another fight on their hands. And theirs usually didn't end with just a bloody nose...

"Boys, boys..." Miroku came in between InuYasha and Sesshomaru and stuck his hands out. "You two are brothers, now would just please, just for one day, act like you love each other?"

Sesshomaru and InuYasha eyed each other as Kouga snickered.

"Love is one thing, respect is another." Sesshomaru snarled, and then shoved his hand into the pocket of his Levis for his car keys. "I'm going to Subway. You cretins are welcome to follow me."

"I'm coming, but I'm going to take my car." InuYasha exclaimed, taking his own keys from his pocket and twirling them around his finger.

"What for?" Miroku asked as they piled out of the classroom into the school parking lot.

"Not enough room in Sesshomaru's for me AND Kikyou." He grinned, crossing his arms across his chest and leaning against the brick wall of the school. Miroku rolled his eyes, obviously disapproving.

"Not that sophomore bitch AGAIN. Christ, InuYasha, you can do better then her rich, arrogant ass." He frowned and shook his head. InuYasha shrugged, indifferent to what Miroku thought of his current love interest.

"I'll meet you at Subway." He exclaimed in an even voice, as if saying the conversation was over. Miroku sighed but nodded, and hustled after Kouga and Sesshomaru.

"It's your ass, man. That bitch is insane!" He called over his shoulder and hopped into Sesshomaru's brand new PT Cruiser Convertible, fresh off the market. He really was the son of Mr. Takahashi, owner of Takahashi Industries. Both brothers had had every luxury imaginable since they were kids. Life had been given to them on a silver platter.

InuYasha watched his brother and friends peel out of the school parking lot, and shook his head mildly. He thought back to the ugly freshman that had ran crying out of the classroom because of Sesshomaru, and smiled wickedly. Perhaps he could impress Kikyou by embarrassing the most popular guy in school... Sesshomaru wouldn't know what hit him.

Whew, end of chapter one. Please review everyone! I haven't got a single one yet, and I am looking forward to continuing this fic, but I need to know how you guys think I'm doing!

|Thought of the Day|

--- Even though you wouldn't really think about it... the skin in between a girl's breasts is EXTREMELY sensitive to UV rays. So when wearing a bikini girls, make sure you get sun block in between there, because as of right now, the blisters are KILLING me. *Sobs* ---

Love and peace! Please review!
