Homecoming Court By: Red Eclipse
Laying in the grass underneath the warm spring sun was pleasant that day. Sharing the grass with a big foldable black stage with screaming and crying over nominations was not. Kagome yawned and hit her friend seeing if she was awake, "Sango. Sango, what the hell are people yelling about?" Kagome inquired sitting up against her backpack she'd been using as a pillow.
"Homecoming nominations." She yawned. Kagome mouthed the word 'oh' and slid back to the ground. Both Sango and Kagome had been up till one AM, IMing each other, and studying for tests. Screams and cries ensued form the crowd gathered ten feet away from the girls resting spot.
"And the final nomination for homecoming queen is...." Kagome completely zoned out into her own little world. "........Kagome Higurashi!" painful cries were now heard from the herds of girls as the last name was announced. Girls started sobbing their mascara running down their faces.
"Kagome!" Sango kicked her rather hard. "Kagome!"
"What? That hurt! Meanie!" Kagome whined rubbing her arm.
"You were just nominated for homecoming queen." Sango mumbled.
"Do I have to do anything?" Kagome asked whining again.
"Yeah you have to go to homecoming dance na na na na na na!" Sango stuck her tongue out. The speaker made a final announcement through the sobbing that was getting louder,
"Congratulations to Kikyo Kurotaku, Kagura Wazuki, Ayame Secada, and Kagome Higurashi! Good luck ladies."
"Ha HA your one of those ladies!" Sango shrilled. Kagome grumbled a shut up! The bell rang, but all the crying girls went to the bathrooms to wash the black marks off their faces and reapply the very goop that made the streaks appear in the first place.
Walking through the hall was annoying. all the girls who were waiting to get into the bathrooms were glaring at Kagome for taking the last vote away from them. Kikyo stopped in front of Kagome and looked her up and down, sizing up her competition , then smirking, "Congratulations Kagome- chan, good luck. You just might need it." Kagome rolled her eyes when Kikyo walked away. "Little twit, I don't give a damn." she said out loud. Kagura emerged from a corner, holding a fan over her face. "You have the right attitude Kagome, but Kikyo only cares about winning. Don't let her hear you say such things or it could be your breaking point." Kagome raised an eyebrow. "I don't care about winning, I want to know if there is any way I could get my name off the ballot." Kagome grumbled. "As long as Kikyo doesn't win. She really bugs me. We can't let a little 'twit' as you said, win. Good day." she disappeared, and Kagome raised her eyebrow again. "Weird" she mumbled. Not bothering to wait for Sango who had tried to get in the bathroom, Kagome walked down the hall to her English class. Her brother, Miroku, was around the next corner with his buddy Inuyasha. Miroku called her over. Rolling her eyes and throwing her head back she considered flipping him off and walking on, but her mother always guilt tripped Kagome on ignoring her twin brother. She walked over reluctantly sighing. She stopped in front of him and stared him directly in the eyes. He was dazed, on something. "Congratulations little sister." He tapped me on the forehead and tipped over starting to fall in to me, but his friend Inuyasha pulled him off. Miroku was laughing his head off. I mumbled a thanks, not bothering to correct him on the little sister mistake he made. I made an excuse that I was running late to class, and scurried away quickly, Sango could find me later.
*Kagome's Point of View*
"You wanna go to the Mall Kag?" That was a strange new habit of her's shortening my name down to three letters. Should I start calling her San?
"Can't. I can't find my wallet or my cell phone and I'm getting a little worried." She blinked looking disappointed.
"Wanna ride home then?" She asked. since I didn't have my own car. I had shared it with my twin brother, but he totaled it while high. So I was out of a car which sucks. I got in her car without nodding. I hate walking. Driving the five minutes it took to get to my house I rested my head on the window. A silver glint made me narrow my eyes. I thought I saw a silver car following Sango's red car. I call all cars 'cars' cause I have no idea what the hell they are. I only know them by there colors. I looked up and saw the car again. Maybe they just live on one of the streets around the shrine. I kept watching it though, curiosity driving me. The silver car was ten feet behind us, turning at every turn we did. It was beginning to freak me out. We took another turn now on the neighborhood where my grandfather's shrine was.
Sango stopped in front of the shrine, and I piled out of the car with all my stuff thrown over my back. I looked to the end of the road and exhaled not seeing the car. I said bye to Sango and she drove off. The out of the corner of my eye I saw the silver car again. It passed by the shrine, driving slowly. I tried to see inside the car, but the windows were tinted a deep black. Shining in the sun. I turned and ran inside the house breathing hard. I walked into the living room and saw Miroku and Inuyasha in there. I walked behind the couches so I wouldn't be seen and scurried into the kitchen. Stuffed a cookie into my mouth and sat on the counter. Not knowing where my mother was. Miroku had had this strange guilty depressed look on his face, unlike the dazed one he had had at passing period. Inuyasha was staring at him, level-headed. It was strange he always seemed level-headed but he hung out with Miroku so he must be pot head too. The whole situation confused me. I decided to keep my spot on the counter munching on my cookie, and try to listen in on their conversation.
"So your sure that's what Souta said?" I think that was Inuyasha. Souta was my oldest brother who dropped out of high school and was working with a bunch of guys on meth in construction. "Yeah." that was Miroku. "And your sure Naraku has it?"-Inuyasha. Naraku was a common name around my brothers and this violet eyed freak.
"Yeah."-Miroku. "And your sure you mom went to press charges?"-Inuyasha. Okay now that was a strange thing to say. Why would my mom be pressing charges? "Yeah" –Miroku. "Shit. This isn't good. Where is she?"-Inuyasha. Now why would they say a thing like that. This conversation beginning to freak me out now.
"I don't know, she's probably with her friend Sango at the mall or something, looking at dresses or some other girl thing."- Miroku. I stuck my tongue out, he should know me better then that. I'm not girly! But they both sounded concerned. Surprisingly about me.
"Shit. Naraku could hurt her if he's angry. No innocent person should have to suffer because of the damn drug Naraku circulates."-Inuyasha. I jumped down from my counter spot and went to the fridge. Grabbing a coke and jumping back on the counter, I must have shook the can, cause when I went to open it.. "Gahh!" It sprayed coke all over me. That got Miroku and Inuyasha's attention and they came running into kitchen bursting out laughing at me soaked in the brown liquid. "Hi." I said growling at the laughing pot heads. And running into my room to change.
Returning they were on the couches staring at me with sad looks on their faces. "Kagome, I need to talk to you." Miroku sad looking at me with pleading eyes. I looked and hesitantly sat down on the blue recliner. I mouthed a 'what' and sat back in the chair. "Souta sold your cell phone to Naraku. Then he regretted it and went back to Naraku and said it was yours. He said your name." He put he let his head hang down. He must be in withdrawal. "Inuyasha can you finish for me?" Miroku begged pathetically.
"He told your mother and she decided to press charges on Naraku. Since Souta gave Naraku your name specifically Naraku might come after you." He said.
"Kagome...." Miroku struggled to breath after he said the words. "... I'm... Check... ing. ... into a .. Methadone c..Cl...C...Clinic." Miroku collapsed on the ground.
"Methadone? Methadone is for Heroin addicts. You got that far in your addiction?" I looked down at my brother. His breathing labored. He nodded weakly and tried to mouth a 'sorry'.
"I'm taking him later this evening. Is there anyone else who should say goodbye to him?" Inuyasha asked me. I thought for a second, Sango had been a childhood friend to Miroku along with me. She'd had a crush on him before he got into the drugs and would probably like to say goodbye and god luck. But would she want to know how far his addiction had reached? I nodded walking to the phone.
*Sango's Point of View*
The phone rang when I was laying on the couch. I heard it, but I didn't want to get up. Kohaku could get it. Eventually the phone was answered and Kohaku walked into the room with the receiver. "It's Kagome." I mumbled thanks and grabbed the phone. Kagome sounded shaken up. "Hey Sango, it's Kagome. Can you come over?"
"What's wrong?" I asked getting worried. "Inuyasha's taking Miroku to Methadone Clinic. None of will see him for a long time, so this is the only chance to say goodbye to him. I thought you'd like the chance to do so." 'Miroku' I thought. He was so nice when we all grew up together. 'Heroin?' "I'm on my way Kagome." I dropped the phone, yelled a goodbye to Kohaku, and dashed from the house The five minute drive between our houses was almost unbearable. "Miroku" "Miroku" "Miroku" I moaned wondering what happened to him. Sakura trees rushed by me in a whirl. "How could you get into Heroin?" The shrine came into view and I floored the car and jumped out barely turning the car off. I shoved the door open not bothering to knock and saw Miroku on the floor, moaning painfully on the ground. Kagome sat on the floor next to him staring down blankly. She looked like she was thinking of something else. She held his hand and Inuyasha was the only one that noticed my entry. He nodded to me. I walked further into the living room. Kagome looked up at me blankly. Miroku looked up to, his eyes blood shot. He smiled at me, and tried to talk. I saw his lips move, "Hi Miroku." I sat on the other side of him and took his other hand. He looked like he tried to say Sorry, but nothing came out. He tried to talk again and she heard him say a few syllables and her name.
"Sango I L, I'm sorry." He coughed. Kagome got up and went to the kitchen returning minutes later with water. Placing the glass at the tip of his mouth, she ordered him to drink. He swallowed a gulp and coughed. I noticed the tears falling down Kagome's cheeks. Miroku reached his hand up and brushed the tears away form his sisters cheek. I realized I had been crying to when he did the same to me. His brush was tender and loving. Inuyasha left to make a phone call. Miroku opened his mouth to speak again, "Don't cry Sango, Kagome, I'm going to leave." He coughed and gestured for more water, "But I'll come back I promise." I wished he would Caress my cheek and sweep me up into his arm in a passionate embrace. I blinked and mentally slapped myself for having such thoughts.
Inuyasha walked back in the room. "The clinic won't take him in until his been a day without Heroin, they said to watch him tonight and to bring him tomorrow morning." He said Kagome who nodded understanding.
"Can we move him someplace more comfortable?" She asked. Not wanting her brother sleeping on the hardwood floor. I couldn't blame her.
*Authors Point of View*
Kagome brought a water basin into her brother's room after she'd heard him tossing. Sango was calling her brother and Inuyasha promised to come back to take Miroku to the clinic. She sat by his bed and dipped a wash cloth into the water. Pulling it out and wringing it, Miroku looked up at his sister, as she dabbed at his forehead. He was suffering from withdrawal. Having been addicted for so long. Indulging in the drug at least 4 times a day. Now only once. "Where's Sango?" He asked. Kagome blinked, "She's calling her brother." She thought about the look Sango had in her eyes as Miroku wiped her tears away. It was ten o'clock now. A whole day almost up, tomorrow being Saturday Miroku would enter the Methadone Clinic. They wouldn't see him for at least 3 weeks.
"I'm sorry Kagome, I should have had my head clear to protect you. My little sister." He said. "Your not older then me." Kagome said smiling weakly. "I'm 2 hours older Na NA!" Kagome laughed weakly.
A/N okay I need help does anyone know about the Homecoming stuff. I know absolutely nothing about. Is the homecoming queen the prom queen? When is homecoming? What does the queen have to do? Someone please explain the whole thing to me. I'm not into any of that so I don't know any of it. I'll be very grateful if someone could tell me. Review please tell me what you think of the story. If anyone likes it I'll continue then and only then, so tell me what you think. Next chapter-Reawakened Darkness, It'll explain a little of Inuyasha's past. Bye Bye! Thanks for reading!
