A/N: Started as a short story for my own entertainment, but decided to grow and show it to you people out there on your mobiles or computer screens. Review if you want more.
The small group of teachers around the wooden oak desk got frustrated as they piled packs of papers together, looking and making comments at the students they had for the entire year.
"Kagome Higurashi, " A male called out in relief as he placed the students schedule neatly in front of himself. "Now that's a familiar face I'm happy with. Finally!"
"Kagome? Higurashi?" A woman raised her head to speak.
"Ahh. That's right. Your new here." The man sighed as he picked up the students folder and passing it to his right where the man aside of him merely passed it along to his right, giving it to the new teacher at the high school.
"Kagome Higurashi." The man stated again before slouching in his chair as the woman skimmed through the folder he had given to her. "Straight A's since middle school. Not to mention a wonderful girl indeed. Good kid."
"How so?" The woman challenged as she passed the folder to the same man who had passed it along her, giving it back to the man that had spoken. After getting the students folder back in his hands the man smiled at his new companion. "Participated in every school event that came up if I remember correctly, Helps at the retirement home down town and like I said she has great grades ,she gets her work done when told and brings it the next day if possible... Oh, and don't even mention about her personality. Sweetest girl I've ever met in my entire school career. Heart of gold if possible." The man sighed at the end of his sentence as he sat straight up again and placed the folder back in its place in front of him before picking up another students folder. "Too bad she has that hooligan for a 'boyfriend'. "
The woman raised her head once more again at the man, more interested that before "Oh? Now how would you know that Mr?..."
"Myoga." The man answered with a quick smile before looking back down at a students folder, "You have no idea how gossip flies fast here. As long as I remember they had been on and off for the past year. Plus ,I am friends with the boy's father...That Inuyasha..." The man sighed at the boy's name.
"Tessaiga...Inuyasha Tessaiga?" Another man had spoken out, jumping right in at the conversation. Mr. Myoga looked to his side and gave a slight nod towards the man that had spoken out. The man shook his head and looked out in front of him before shifting through the files in front of him before finding one and waving one into the air. "Got'em." The man sighed before checking back into the young boys file again.
"Straight C's. and has a very short temper if I remember correctly?" Myoga gave a slight nod towards him signaling that he had been correct.
"May I see that?" The woman had jumped in, getting very interested in these students.
"Knock yourself out." The man closed the file and instead of passing it along, he slid it across the table making its way towards the new teacher they had.
The woman smiled in gratitude at her new coworker before checking into the students file. A small picture of the student was clipped to the side of the folder as the woman stared at it. "Did...-Did he die his hair or something?" She asked in wonderment as she continued to stare at the students picture. Both men laughed and even the silent one between herself and Mr. Myoga, gave a chuckle. "Oh no, no, no. He is said to have albino in his blood." Myoga replied with a small smile.
"Ah, I see." The woman said. That must've been the reason of the color of his eyes as well. After getting a good look at the student, she looked over the boy's status. "He has a brother?" The woman spoke out raising her head towards the two gentlemen.
"Hm? Oh, yes. Sesshomaru Tokijin. A half brother is what you call it. Same father ,but separated by mothers. Great with grades, easy going ,but at times can be short tempered as his half brother Inuyasha." Myoga had spoken out again as he read over another students file."
"No kidding." The other man had commented on Mr. Myoga's statement on the students half brother. "I've got that boy too, in the same class as well!" The man pinched the bridge of his nose tightly. He really didn't like the two in the same class.
Myoga chuckled at the man. "Looks like you got a hand full this year huh?"
The man shook his head before drowning his palms onto his face, "You don't know the half of it. Seriously. I have that Yorozoku boy and his gang too! God. It seems this year is out to get me." He exclaimed out in fear and exhaustion. All those boys in one room! For an entire period. 'It will be like setting wild animals in one small-tiny cage with only one piece of meat inside.' The man thought desperately. The laughing instantly stopped and Mr. Myoga turned to the man who looked like he was just sentenced to a death contract. He didn't blame him. Anyone with that group of students, shoved into a one single classroom, was going to be difficult even for him. Pity was all over Mr. Myoga's face as he saw the man. "Oh man. You do have it bad."
The woman scoffed. It couldn't possibly be that bad, can it? "How? Its just some boys. Nothing you can't handle I'm pretty sure." She declared, remembering how it was rumored that this teacher, in particular, was pretty strict in his working days. Both men looked up at the woman looking dumbstruck as the quiet one just shook his head and tisked silently under his breath. This woman was obviously new.
"I'm sorry I didn't get your name Miss?..." The man trailed off for her to answer for herself.
"Kaugra. Kaugra Kaze." The woman replied flatly towards the man who had asked.
"Miss. Kaze. It obviously that your new here that if you don't know these troublemakers." The man sighed. "If their all going to be together then it is going to be more serious trouble than it already is than by themselves."
"What was the other boys name? The Yorozoku one with the so called 'gang'". The woman gestured her two fingers on both hands as quotation marks as she changed the subject onto the boy. The man's brows scrunched up together as if in anger. "This is no joking matter Miss. Kaze! All these boys!-..In one sing-"
The woman held her hand up. Shushing him from continuing on with his statement. "First of all, I was in no joking matter and I apologize if I angered you in any way." She had said in a calm voice before raising both her elbows onto the table and resting her head onto her knuckles. Her red beady eyes set on the man. "And secondly. I do not appreciate you raising your voice towards me. I just asked a simple question. Now ,what's that boys whole name."
Mr. Myoga gave a small smile towards the pale woman. Already, he had a liking towards her as a partner in school business. He cleared his throat out loud. "Names Kouga. Kouga Yorozoku." He answered for the man beside to him who was just shushed seconds ago. The woman looked towards the half bladed man and gave a small smile in gratitude as he, as well, gave her the boy's permanent school file. Kaugra took it gladly, taking mental notes in her mind for remembering all these troublemakers names. She raised a brow at the boys file, looking at the small picture they had of him before skimming through his whole file. She stopped, feeling that something was int front of her. Kaugra raised her head up to see more files coming her way by the half bald headed man. "These are the so called gang of his." Myoga explained before plopping in front of her. She gave a quick nod before reviewing all files.
All three men looked amazed at her quickness. She was like the wind with the speed of hers. "Man, do all the boys at this high have long or weird hair." Myoga heard her mutter as she looked at all the files that he had given her. He would had given a chuckle if she didn't look so focused in the papers. After, what seemed to be seconds, of reviewing files, Kaugra slouched in her chair before picking up the Yorozoku boy's file again. "This boy." She pointed out. "Has failed all his classes except history and P.E... Why would you pass him? Seems that would have been a better option in my opinion that is." Kaugra muttered. All the other boys at least had decent grades but this one was a whole new story.
Myoga stayed quiet as well did the others.
"Well?" Kaugra pried.
"I honestly don't know. Guess he's just been lucky." The man from early of being shushed had said. The woman shook her head. This obviously was a weird high school. "Well then. At this rate. His luck is just going to run out anytime now in this grade." Kaugra baffled, running her slim fingers through her bangs before checking through his grades again. They were just awful as bad as his behavior saying on this piece if paper. 'Smoking on school grounds. Detention for aggressive language. Disruption and damage done on school property. Suspension for fiercely fighting on and near school grounds... Man, this kid has it all now doesn't he.' Kaugra thought as she looked at the list of how many times he had got written up for.
"I suppose your right Miss. Kuzo. He has flunked way to many classes to be acceptable in any matter." Myoga sighed as he rubbed his thin head of hair. He really hated the idea of holding back a student, but there was no other choice now was there. "But there is a way he can pass high school with at least decent grades. Even for a troublemaker like this one." Kaugra started, "All he needs is a tutor." She smiled.
"A tutor." The once shushed man said flatly. " Are you serious?"
"The most as I can be."
"And your going to do that Kaugra?" Myoga questioned.
The woman scoffed a half snort. "Please. I'm not going all through that drama. I meant that I run an elective this year for these kind of students. A lower grade student is partnered up with an higher grade student. Hmm. Lets say a struggling student has a problem with one specific subject throughout his or her periods. We simply find a student who is excellent in the same class as the other and pair them up together to help the lower student succeed or to get a better grade than before."
Myoga raised his hand to his chin and clenched it. This might actually work for this failing student. There might still be hope for this boy-. "But Yorozoku... He is mostly failing all his classes. I doubt that there will be a student out there to help him in everything." The once shushed man spoke out. Kaugra raised a brow at the man that had spoken out. This was true. The woman scrunched up her nose in thought.
"Well..." Myoga said uneasily, a small nervous smile was placed on his lips. Kaugra turned her head toward the thin haired man, "Yes? You have someone in mind." Myoga's uneasy smile grew relaxed as finally he nodded.
"Well are you going to share or what?" Her voice was stern with a hint of annoyance toward it. She hated when people did this.
" The Higurashi." A male voice rang out. Kaugra blinked and looked to her side to see the man that kept quiet through the whole conversation, speak up. She stopped her glare at the man before smirking at him. "And here I thought you were deaf." She stopped her smirk and turned to the other men, nodding to herself slowly. "Yes. That girl. Ah, what was her name?... Kagome! She'll do perfectly for this student."
"Kagome? Are you sure about that? I mean... She will be perfect to help this young man but.." Myoga started. He was actually going to give some time up on himself and help this student, but Kagome seemed to the fit the bill just right.
"But?" Kaugra grunted out through clenched teeth. She really hated when people did this, always pausing right in the middle of their god damn sentences.
"That Inuyasha. I knew him since he was a child and can tell you that he's very possessive and he isn't very too fond of Kouga...-." Kaugra simply rolled her eyes at the thinning haired mans statement. She wasn't worried. Someone's can't be that possessive and protective now can they.
"Well this Kagome we're talking about likes to get her work done yes?" All three men at the table nodded their heads all at once and the woman smiled before leaning back on her chair. "Then this will be easy for her. It is for a counting grade on how you collaborate with your partner as well. The boy will understand, I'm sure of it." Kaugra said proudly and confident.
The once shushed man simply glared at the woman's beady red eyes before giving a deep sigh and finally releasing the topic out of his head and going back to his criticizing state on the more files that lay ahead in his hands. The silent man that only said a two words during the whole conversation going silent once more, focused on his work once again. Myoga, on the other hand, glared down at the files in his lap. Still not sure about the decision this little group of co-workers were making. As he was about to argue towards the woman with the strange red eyes, she stood, making her seat that she sat upon make a noise as it reared back. He lifted his head up to see her pick up her dark velvet coat, that he was unaware of the woman having, that was hung on the back of the chair. Files were neatly placed on her chest as she held it with her forearm while the other arm held her coat. Fully standing, she pushed her chair in with a mere roll of a hip.
Kaugra gave a small smile toward the group of three men, now all staring at her as if expecting her to say something of why was she standing up. "Well... I'd love to stay here and chit-chat with you three men, but I must get going now. I'll finish these at home. Thanks for inviting me and all. I'll see you on the first day of school." Miss. Kuzo gave, what would've been a charming smile for woman before heading toward the door and swiftly exiting it.
Remember this is a prologue so it's short. Other chapters in the future will be a bit longer detailed, better and bigger paragraphs, but in order to that to happen you must review! Think it of as my source of hunger (lol that's just sad. C: )
