[Firstly, this is a shoujo-ai, meaning girlxgirl relationships. If you don't like that, leave.

Secondly, I don't know Tsubaki's character that well so forgive me for any OOC-ness.

Thirdly, don't flame me for this. Pleeeeeeease???]

Atashi no tomodachi, atashi no koibito

The blazing Spring sun cast Higurashi High School into a large body of cheerful students, studying obediently. A few students were actually quite bored of the stereotypically happy weather during Spring. No one dared voice their opinions though, as there were more cheerful students than bored ones.

Seeing some grumblers making the journey to 6th period, Kikyou Miko rolled her eyes. 'A little good weather never did any harm to anything... they just complain too much.' Humming to herself, she set the books on her desk and sat down in Science class with Mr. Urashima[1].

About 20 minutes in, a worksheet on chemical imbalances in the human brain and been assigned, much to the displeasure of his students. "Mr. Urashimaaaaaaaa, we've only known the topic for two daaaaays, it's not faaaaaair," came a whine from next to Kikyou.

'Kagome Higurashi, head cheerleader, first year archer and first class whiner, ' Kikyou thought. In her opinion, Kagome was her precise opposite. In place of cheerleading, Kikyou preferred drama class. Also, Kikyou had been doing archery since she was seven, while Kagome only started last year. Add on the fact that Kagome whined and Kikyou sulked and the opposite theory could easily be proved.

While lost in her thoughts, a note hit her forehead. Snapping out of her daze, Kikyou picked up the note. Looking in the direction it came from, Kikyou noticed the school goth, Naraku Kuro, waving at her, with a suggestive grin on his face. Not minding showing her thoughts of him, she lifted her middle finger casually at him, before continuing her work. Giving the note a glare, curiosity got the best of her and she pocketed the note.

After class, as the bell rang, a white hair girl dressed in navy, approached her. "Hey, Kiki-chan?"

Kikyou couldn't help but smile at the nickname. "Yes, Tsubaki-chan?"

"I saw Naraku pass you a note." A wicked grin crossed her face. "You gonna open it?"

"No... it's probably some sick poem involving love, scars, skin and spiders." Tsubaki gave her a pouty face as the two strode to their lockers.

A good thing about the friends was the contrast between them. While Tsubaki was spontainious and a little messy, Kikyou had a tendency to plan things out and was an insane neatfreak. When Tsubaki opened her locker, a few papers and a textbook fell on her head. "AGH!! I hate my stupid locker!" she yelled purely out of frustration. Kikyou put on the face of a teacher and helped her pick up the books and papers. "So, who do you have next?"

Kikyou cringed. "Ms. Moehara."[1]

"I thought you liked her."

"I do. I don't like Mr. I'm-so-full-of-myself."

Tsubaki smiled. "You mean Inuyasha?"

Kikyou grabbed her History book from her locker and slammed it. "Yeah. The jerk has started taking a Kendo class nearby just to show off for the It-Beast." Thoughts of Kagome and Inuyasha made her want to hurt something so Kikyou changed the subject. "Who do you have next?"

"Ms. Aoyama." [1]

"Lucky. She's cool. "

"Cool but strict."

"Yeah. " Smiling, the two girls went their seperate ways.

[1]= Love Hina cameos! W00T!

I had to make Inuyasha the school jock. I just had to. The same excuse for Naraku being the school goth and Kagome being Miss Popularity.

Not much shoujo-ai in this but just you wait. I'm drawing this one out, ya hear?
