Little White Lie

It started with a crack. ( you know. A crack in glass? Well anyway)

"Yuusuke, come back! Auntie's gonna be mad at you!" A young Kagome shouted.

Kagome, Yuusuke, and Keiko were all childhood friends. Yuusuke boasted to his Cousin Kagome, that he could run into the well house and beat the monster at her shrine/home.

"C'mon Kags. I can beat'em!" He said while puffing out his chest.

"Yuusuke it's scary. Get out of there" Keiko whined.

Yuusuke could never stand Keiko whines and grumbled his defeat. Outside, Keiko giggles and beams that she did something Kagome couldn't do. While Yuusuke was walking out, he kicked the pillar which set off a chain of events. Everything fell off the wall, including Jii-chan's prized glass encased, fermented ginger roots.

"What is that? It reeks!" Yuusuke says, throwing his hands over his mouth and nose.

"Ooh, Jii-chan is gonna get you." Kagome said, already dashing to the house.

"Not if I get there first!" He says running hard to beat Kagome.

Keiko walked, still in her own thoughts on envying Kagome. She watched as the two ran to tell their side of the story first. 'One day' She says to herself. 'One day, I'll beat Kagome and have all eyes on me and Yuusuke by my side.' She nods at her new-found determination and sprints off to hear 'who told on whom.'

"Gramps, Kagome broke that jar thing in the ol' well house!" Yuusuke panted out, bursting in the house. Kagome not to far behind, collapsed on the couch. She closed her eyes, not giving any indication whether she did it or not.

"Is this true, Kagome?" Jii-chan asked.

She wheezed out a weak 'no'.

"Keiko, Yuusuke, time to go home. Your parents will be worried." Kagome's mother Kaori said. (AN: I don't know her real name)

"Hai! Bye Kags, have fun." Yuusuke said smirking. Keiko shook her head and went outside.

While Kagome was getting a harsh scolding, she was thinking of how to get back at Yuusuke. 'I'll get him even if it takes a couple of years.' She thought.

On the other hand, Yuusuke was thinking on how to avoid his punishment. 'Kagome's never gonna forgive me. Gotta lay low for a while.'

"Suke, you're not listening to me." Keiko pouted.

He sweat dropped. "C'mon Keiko, I was thinking how to avoid Kagome for a few years till she calms down!" He said defensively.

They both thought for a minute.

"Dunno. New school?" She suggested. Yuusuke smiled. He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.

"I just might do that. Thanks Keiko." He thought, she would squeal and faint. He was only half right.

"Yuusuke!" She slugged him in the arm.

"Eh heh. Night!" He called over his shoulder, running home.

"Night." Keiko whispered, blushing. 'He's mine.' She thought.

Yuusuke ran home to tell his mother he wanted to go to a new school. "Somewhere far away from Kagome! Some place she won't come to." He said in a rush.

Atsuko realized he must have did something really bad for him to go this far.

"And while we're at it, away from Keiko, too!" He joked.
