Chapter 1: Sleepovers!
(Kagome POV)
"Kagome! Hey Kagome we have some great news," a voice yelled, causing me to turn and see three girls running towards me, as I made my way home. Ok how about we start from the beginning, my name is Kagome Higurashi age 15, and a freshman at Shikon High School, those three girls are my three best friends in the entire world, well my three best girl friends. The tall one with dark brown hair is Sango Taijya, we've known each other since I met her in third grade, the one who looks almost like me is Kikyo Hidaka, I've known her since kindergarten, and the short one is Rin Narita I've known her since I was in pre-k. Then there's the guys in my life, there's Miroku Hoshiomi, he's my cousin, he's in love with Sango but he's too much of a lech so she doesn't even know he likes her, but I have a fleeting suspicion that she likes him the same. Then there's Onigumo Morikawa a junior, he's Kikyo's boyfriend since last year, and I'm happy for them. Then there's Sesshomaru Takahashi he's a junior, he is unique in so many ways, he's an inu yokai, he has really super long silver hair and golden eyes, Rin has the biggest crush on him, and she seems to be melting his iced over heart, at least that's what Inuyasha says. And then there's Inuyasha Takahashi, my secret only to him crush, he's Sesshomaru's younger half brother, he is also a inu yokai, but he's also a hanyou, he has long silver hair, and expressive golden eyes, and he has the cutest little doggie ears I've ever seen, I've known the Takahashi brothers since the day I met Rin, and I realized my feelings for Inuyasha when I was in 7th grade. And then there is Koga Ookami, he is a wolf yokai, I think he's in love with me, every time he's around he goes into flirt mode, and Inuyasha gets mad at him, and they always end up fighting, but Inuyasha doesn't understand that I like him and not Koga and is always getting mad at me. Any ways back to before……
"Kagome you'll never guess what happened," I turned to see Sango practically jumping in excitement.
"What" I ask, watching her bounce up and down.
"Well you know the talent show? We're all signed up, and we made it through," Sango said and looked at me expectantly.
"Re--Really, when you say we….." I began in a nervous manner, but Rin cut me off.
"When she said we, she meant she signed up Sacred Arrow," Rin replied her arms folded.
"Wh--What about our homework," I asked not certain I wanted to sing, I had dropped singing when my father passed away, and I wasn't sure I was any good. "Besides the last time we played as a band was back in fifth grade,"
"Come on Kagome live a little," Kikyo said, slapping my back.
"Well I guess…." I began not really certain of what I was about to say.
"Hey girls," I sigh in relief as Miroku calls out to us. He is followed of course by, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, (whom I like to call either Fluffy, or Sesshy) and Onigumo. Kikyo seeing her boyfriend immediately runs over to him and kisses him, I feel envy towards her.
"Hey guys," I say meekly.
"Hey Kags are you okay," Miroku asked, coming up to me.
"I'm fine," I say with a smile to hide my true feelings.
"So what were you guys so excited about," Inuyasha asked.
"Well apparently they signed myself, Rin, Sango and Kikyo up for the talent show."
"You know, I've never actually heard you sing before," Inuyasha said thoughtfully.
"Well you will hear what she sounds like in five days," Sango said beaming widely, then she gasped and turned red, a scowl gracing her features. SLAP! "Hentai! How many times have I told you not to touch me!" she screamed, I try and hold back a laugh, Miroku has a bright red hand mark on his left cheek, due to his 'Cursed Hand' but I swear his brain is just warped. I roll my eyes as he laughs while rubbing it.
"So Kags, you never answered are you in or not," Kikyo asked, Onigumo's arm wrapped around her small waist. The only way you can tell me and Kikyo apart is her hair is to her mid thigh, while mine only comes to my waist, and she's slightly paler than me, but other than that we could be twins.
"I guess so, I mean it couldn't hurt right," I say with a small smile. "So where is this contest happening," I asked.
"At the Pavilion," Sango replied, swatting Miroku's hand away from her behind. It's a Friday, so as usual we I mean we girls have a sleep over, and it's being held at Sango's house.
"Ok, so when do we come over Sango," Rin asked, her forearm resting on my shoulder.
"Around 5 is fine," Sango replied, then everyone left, well except Miroku, who lived right next door to me.
"Miroku, can I ask you something," I asked tucking some loose hair behind my ear.
"Depends on the question," he replied with a smirk.
"Well, I really need to know, do you have feelings for Sango?" I ask, and see him become very nervous, and its my turn to smirk.
"Well…..I--I…you see…." he began to stutter.
"So you do?!" I said, and laughed when he turned a nice shade of red.
"I--I never said that," Miroku said, when a small child rammed into Miroku, with a happy squeal.
"Miwoku," she said in a small voice, it was Mamiko, his 5 year old sister.
"Hello Mamiko," I said, and she looked at me with a smile, I noticed she had a front tooth missing.
"Hewo Kagome," she said and gave me a hug also.
"When did you loose that tooth," I asked, kneeling next to her.
"Three days ago," she said, "And the Tooth Fairy left me two dollars,"
"Wow, that's great," I said, standing back up.
"Miwoku mama said that's it's your turn to wash dishes," Mamiko said, turning to her older brother.
"Well I'll see you later, I have to go get ready," I said and ran up the steps that led to my shrine. I walked in the door, "Mama I'm home," I called.
"Ok, when are you leaving to Asuka's," my mother called from the kitchen. Asuka is Sango's mother.
"4:30," I said taking my shoes off. "Hey is Sota going to have friends over," I asked walking into the kitchen to get an after school snack.
"Yes, he's having Kohaku, and Shippo over," my mom said as she handed me an apple. Kohaku is Sango's younger brother, and Shippo Hidaka is Kikyo's adopted brother, he is a kitsune, and according to me, the cutest thing on the planet.
"Ok, well I'm going to go get ready," I said, and went up stairs where I nearly ran into Sota. "Whoa, what's the hurry," I asked holding onto his shoulders so that he didn't fall.
"Oh sorry, I sort of lost my game, and was going to ask Mama if she'd seen it," he said, with a guilty smile. "Sorry," he said and ran down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"Boy that kid can run," I murmured to no one. I walked into my room and pulled out a dark green duffel bag, and packed it for two nights. I grabbed my cell phone, and a note book. Then 4:30 finally rolled around, and I left the house. I finally arrived at Sango's I knew I was early but it was either that or I wouldn't come at all due to the fact that I am very forgetful. (AN: That's me for ya) I knocked and Sango's mother answered the door.
"Oh hello Kagome, you're here early as usual," Mrs. Taijya said with a welcoming smile, and I walked into the house.
"Yup where's Sango," I asked, setting my duffel bag in the living room.
"Sango, Kagome is here," Mrs. Taijya said and she went up stairs, and Sango popped out of the kitchen.
"Oh good you're here," Sango said and pulled me into the kitchen, "Could you help me get ready," she said with pleading eyes. I nodded, and she smiled and gave me a hug. "Ok, take out the microwave popcorn, and open them up uncooked, and put them in the kettle on the stove," I gave her a curious look before I started anything. "It pops more at one time,"
"Ok," I said and did as I was told, after she put a little bit of cooking oil in the bottom. "Now what," I asked.
"Go to the pantry and grab the chips, there should be five bags," Sango said. I walked over to the pantry and grabbed out, two bags of Doritos nacho and Ranch, Cheetos, plain Lays, and a bag of Pretzels.
Soon we had everything done, and we had laid the party stuff out in the living room. It consisted of six bowls, five full of chips, one of popcorn, we also had hot chocolate, and soda, and a bunch of Little Debbie snacks, and two bags of Jumbo Marshmallows.
"They should be here in a bit," Sango said, and just after saying that there came a knock from the door. Sango answered it and sure enough, it was Kikyo and Rin.
"Hey guys," I said, and they came in and put their bags in the living room.
"So what are we doing first," Rin asked, sitting on the couch.
"Well how about a movie," Sango suggested.
"John Tucker Must Die," Kikyo said.
"Dead Man's Chest," Rin said.
"Um, I want to watch Happy Feet," I said with a smile, "That movie is so adorable,"
"Ok, we'll watch all three," Sango said. "Which one first," I thought for a moment.
"I have an idea," I said with a smile, everyone urged me on, "Let's draw from a hat," I suggested.
"Cool idea, ok girls, my mom and dad will be out till 11, and Kohaku's staying with Sota at Kagome's," Sango said with a bright smile.
"Ok," Rin, Kikyo and I said in unison causing the three of us to go into a fit of the giggles.
Sango wrote down the movie names, and out them in a hat. "Rin you draw first," she said.
"Ok," Rin said smiling, she put her hand in the hat, "OK, first up is Happy Feet," she said, I smiled in victory.
(Normal POV)
The girls, just finished watching the last movie which was Dead Man's Chest. They decided to play a game of Twenty Questions.
"OK, we'll start with Kagome," Sango said, and the other two nodded in agreement as Kagome prepared for their questions.
"Ok first thing, we're going to ask you a question and you have to answer truthfully," Kikyo said, with a sly smirk.
"Ok," Kagome said, sighing.
"First question, Do you have a crush?" Rin asked.
"Yes," Kagome replied.
"Is your crush hot?" Kikyo asked.
"Very," Kagome blushed.
"Does he go to our school," Sango asked.
"Yes," Kagome said.
"Does he have a sibling we might know," Rin asked.
"Yes," Kagome replied.
At Inuyasha's and Sesshomaru's house, they were having a sleepover, with their friends, Miroku and Onigumo, and they were bored to no end.
"So what do you think the girls are doing right now?" Miroku asked, a lecherous gleam in his violet eyes.
"You lech," Onigumo said rolling his eyes, "Dude one of those girls is your cousin,"
"Yeah, my really hot cousin," Miroku said with a grin. "Right Inuyasha," Miroku nudged his friend in the side, and Inuyasha blushed.
"Shut up Miroku," Inuyasha said looking away from the others.
"Let's do something, before I fall asleep from lack of fun," Sesshomaru said, he was lying on the floor, staring up at the ceiling.
"We could play Truth or Dare," Onigumo suggested.
"Sure, but no sissy dares," Sesshomaru said sitting up and facing the guys.
"Ok, I'll go first," Onigumo said. "Inuyasha, Truth or Dare,"
"Truth," Inuyasha knew that was wimpy for him, but he knew how twisted his friend's minds were, and didn't really care.
"Ok, tell me how long you've had a crush on Kagome," Onigumo said, and saw Inuyasha turn slightly red.
"Since, 6th grade," Inuyasha mumbled.
"Sorry, didn't catch that," Onigumo said with a sly smirk in place.
"I said since, 6th grade," Inuyasha said in a louder voice.
"He's not lying" Sesshomaru shrugged.
"All right Miroku, Truth or Dare," Inuyasha said.
"Dare," Miroku replied.
"Ok, I dare you to go to the end of our driveway and grope the first person you see walking by," Inuyasha said, Miroku gulped lightly, but went out side to the end of the drive way. The other three still in the house crowded around the window.
"Inuyasha why did you dare him that?" Sesshomaru asked, his eye brow raised.
"Becuz I know that Mr. Ogata walks by this house every night at this time," Inuyasha snickered. And true to his word, Mr. Ogata walked by and Miroku groped him, and ran back in the house, his face redder than a tomatoe.
"You're twisted," Miroku glared at his best friend, and sat down.
With the girls
"So does he have a nice body," Kikyo asked, knowing fully well who Kagome's crush was.
"Well, he's well toned, but he's not bulging muscles," Kagome replied, that was question number 18.
"Two more," Sango sighed. "So does he have adorable ears," she asked smiling as Kagome got a dreamy look on her face.
"Yes, the cutest," she sighed.
"So is it Inuyasha?" Rin asked.
"Yes," Kagome said without thinking, then blushing crimson realizing what she said. "Uh, how about we play a different game,"
"Sure, how about Truth or Dare," Kikyo said, with a smirk.
"Ok," the other three said.
"I'll go first," Kikyo said. "Kags, Truth or Dare,"
"Truth," Kagome said, staring at her fingernails.
"How long have you had a crush on Inuyasha?" Kikyo asked, seeing Kagome turn red again.
"Since 7th grade," she replied, and looked up to see the others. "But guys don't say anything, I don't want to ruin our friendship if he doesn't feel the same,"
"Ok we promise," they all said, seeing the serious face Kagome gave them.
"Hey guys I have an idea," Miroku said jumping up from his spot near the window.
"Well what is it," the others asked.
"Well the girls are having a sleepover as well, and Sango's parents are out of the house," Miroku said his eyebrows raised.
"So you want us to spy on them?" Sesshomaru asked, his brow raised. 'Well it would give me a chance to see my lovely Rin,'
"Don't you think that's kind of immature you guys?" Onigumo asked.
"Well we're teenage guys," Miroku said smirking, "What do you expect,"
"Well how are we going to spy without them seeing us," Inuyasha asked, 'I'm only going so I can see Kagome,'
"Well be quiet and they won't hear you," Miroku said, "So that means no yelling unless you want face four very pissed off girls,"
"Can any of you hear what they're saying," Miroku asked.
"We can," Inuyasha and Sesshomaru said in a whisper.
The window was cracked opened, and the girls voices floated out.
"So Kagome, what do you think about Koga?" Sango asked.
"Do I have to answer that," Kagome asked rolling her eyes.
"Yes," Rin said, with a stern look, but she was fighting the urge to smile.
"Fine, he's a nice guy and all, but he's over cocky, arrogant jerk, who thinks he can claim me like some object, he doesn't care about my feelings," she had an angry look on her face.
"So what about when Inuyasha fights with him...about...you," Kikyo asked smiling.
"I think it's kind of nice, and it makes me feel...uh how do I put this...uh, protected," she smiled, as a dreamy look came over her face.
"Ugh, someone slap her, before she starts to drool," Kikyo rolled her eyes, Kagome shook her head, and blushed.
"See I told you she hated Koga," Miroku whispered in triumph.
"All right," Inuyasha said he had a slight blush on his face, thanking Kami that he was hidden in the darkness.
"She feels protected around you," Onigumo pointed out, causing Inuyasha's blush to increase.
"Will you be quiet I'm trying to hear," Sesshomaru hissed, and the other three fell silent.
"So Rin, how do you feel about the older Takahashi," Sango asked her eye brows raised, with a smirk.
"Uh...I...uh, I..." Rin was blushing like mad, and stuttering.
"Come on Rin, you can do it," Kikyo urged.
"Yeah, if I can do it, you sure can," Kagome said, nudging the short girl in the side.
"Ok, you guys I'm absolutely positive, I've fallen in love with him," Rin said, and the girls sighed in content.
"What about you and the lech," Kikyo asked.
'Rin loves me?! I think this talent show will be my opportunity to tell her I feel the same,' Sesshomaru thought, his usually icy golden eyes were now soft, and held a warmth in them, he was glad no one could see him or they'd never let him live it down.
"I have absolutely no clue what any of you are talking about," Sango said her face bright red. "Besides he's a pervert that only wants to grope me,"
"So you do have feelings for him," Kagome asked, smirking, Sango sighed.
"I guess I do, but unlike Rin, I'm not sure of my feelings," Sango replied.
"Ok Sango, name the qualities Miroku has that you like," Rin said.
"Well he's smart, funny, charming, romantic, and oh, just wonderful," she sighed in contentment. Then they heard a loud thud outside, and screamed, Sango ran to the hall closet and grabbed a baseball bat, and went slowly towards the door.
"Come on we have to go," Onigumo said.
"I can't Miroku fainted," Inuyasha said.
"Pick him up and let's run," Sesshomaru said, none of the guys wanted the girls to know they had heard them admit that they had feelings for them, Inuyasha groaned and picked up the passed out lech and they ran as if the world were coming to an end.
"Sango what is it," Kagome squeaked from the doorway, where she, Rin, and Kikyo were poking their heads out nervously.
"Well it appears that they ran," Sango replied and walked back into the house.
"You know what I think it was," Kikyo said. She was known to be quite superstitious, and paranoid, the other three groaned. "I think it was those rotten boys," she said her eyes narrowed.
"Oh no," Kagome's and Rin's eyes grew as large as saucers. "What if it was them," Kagome asked.
"They could have heard us," Rin squeaked.
"Calm down, I think Kik here is just being paranoid," Sango said glaring at Kikyo, but her stomach felt uneasy, what if it had been them, if they were hanging outside her window, she'd just have to kick their asses.
