Kagome Higarashi sat at her desk in math class, trying to pay attention to Nakutu-dono's lecture. She looked out the window, sighing slightly.
'Raining again?' she thought, watching a raindrop fall from the sky.
"Higarashi!" Nakutu called, returning Kagome's mind to the classroom, "Would you like to join us?"
The class snickered, and Kagome knew her ears were probably red by now.
"Now, if X 43, then what is Y?" Nakutu babbled on.
'And there she goes again. Haven't we reviewed this stuff already?' Kagome thought, now trying to pay more attention.
"What was that in class?" Kagome's best friend, Sango Mirumeki, asked boldly.
"I don't know. I was bored. Nakutu-dono has gone over this so many times!" Kagome complained.
"Baka, at least you don't have Orsoure-dono. He wants the students to call him Orsoure-sama!" Sango's boyfriend's best friend, InuYasha Mikate pronounced Mick-ought-eh, growled.
"Well, I have to get to my science class. Makki-dono always gets mad if the students are late!" Kagome giggled, hurrying back to her locker.
InuYasha watched her run off, and smiled slightly. Sango stared at the silver-haired boy. It was strange, almost as if he was a demon… but he wasn't, ne?
"You have a crush on Kagome, don't you?" she asked after the raven-haired girl had disappeared into the crowd of students.
"N-no! What makes you think that?" he stammered, blushing.
"Ha!" Sango said, catching him off-guard, "You're blushing! Admit it!"
InuYasha looked down at the snickering girl.
"You little censored! Who told you?" he snarled.
"Calm down, boy. It's not like she is going to tell anyone," Miroku Shiare pronounced Shy-are-eh the pervert, a.k.a. Sango's boyfriend, said, draping his arm around her body.
"Miroku! Not at school!" Sango scolded him.
He shrugged and turned towards InuYasha.
"I told her, and I think we all know why," Miroku said, now much more seriously.
After School
Kaoru opened her umbrella as soon as she got outside. It was pouring rain now, just as she thought it would. Sango ran over to her, holding her math book over her head (which, by the way, was now soaking) and under Kagome's umbrella.
"Come on, I'll give you a ride home," Sango informed her.
"San-go!" Kagome groaned, pronouncing it in two syllables, "You came through all this rain just to tell me that?"
"Well yeah, that and I need to talk to you," Sango explained.
"Kay, what's up?" Kagome inquired.
"Privately, now come on!" the brown-haired girl said, ushering Kagome to the car.
Sango's Car
"You're kidding, ne?" Kagome asked Sango, dumbfounded.
"Um, no; InuYasha told Miroku, who told me," she said, the classic anime sweat drop on her forehead.
"InuYasha… and me?" Kagome yelled excitedly, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Calm down, Kagome-chan. I just found out today!" Sango said, trying to calm her friend down.
Kagome mixed a grin and an 'oh,' look on her face, creating a twisted version of happiness.
"But, what are you going to do about Kouga-san?" Sango asked.
Kouga and Kagome had been 'half-dating' for three months now.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about him," she said, sighing.
"I'll talk to him for you, okay?" Sango offered.
"Arigatou!"

Author's Note
My first InuYasha fanfiction! I know the whole InuYasha & Co. in the present is overused, but who cares. I wanted something to start with. I censored the bad language, cause I wanted to make a PG fic. -Shrug-
