Hi everyone. Oh yeah, this is a Inu-Sess-Nara/Kagome fic! Which one will end up with Kagome? Find out, or just review and tell me who you want, I might be persuaded.

Just Another Day

Chapter 1: Cleaning Up the Past.

The alarm went off in Kagome's room. She reached out her hand from under the covers, and turned it off. She sighed, just another day. She trudged over to her window, and watched the drops fall on it. She bit her lip as she thought about the day to come. Getting up, she got ready for school. Walking over to the bathroom, she looked to the mirror. "What's the freaking point of makeup anyhow? I am not trying to impress anyone, well anyone I care about anyhow." A tear laced her eye, but she shook it off. "No! He won't hurt me. I won't let him." Kagome's mother passed by the bathroom door.

"Hunny? You ok?" her mom said worriedly.

"Yes! Stop bugging me mom. I'm fine. Leave me alone." Her mom just frowned and walked away. Kagome put a touch of makeup here and there, dabbed on some lipstick, and left the bathroom. Going back to her room, she looked under the bed and took out a picture. After staring for a few moments, she shredded it. "No use lingering on the past." She grabbed her backpack, gulped down her brother's cereal, and walked to school.

"Kagome? Hunny? She must have left." her mother stated as she walked into Kagome's room. Noticing the shreds on the floor, she picked them up and brought them to her room. Slowly, she tried putting the pieces to together. When she was finished, she gazed at it. Kagome and some boy with long silver hair smiled into the picture. She had never seen this boy before. Had she become that distant from Kagome, so that her daughter couldn't tell her about her boyfriends anymore? She sighed, placed the pieces on the bed stand, and left to do house chores.

Kagome kicked at the water puddles. Her body was soaked. Looking up, she stared at the ugly brown school. "Just another day.Got to keep living on like nothing happened. It's not that hard is it?" she kept saying to herself. "He never really wanted me there anyhow, I was just another person he had to protect, and I don't need him, and I won't need him."

The first bell sounded off somewhere, but Kagome's thoughts weren't on school. No, they were on Inu Yasha. The boy she had loved, the boy she hated, and the memories he left her to swim in. Just the thought of him made her cringe. "I can't believe he'd pick that dead corpse of a nothing wench! Fudge, now I sound like him! Go the hell away!" His voice was ringing in her ear, his smell still clenched to her clothes. "I think I smell an unwanted stench!" The fire lit in her eyes. She began to tug at her skirt, trying to rip it up. "Get OFF ME INU YASHA!" She managed to tear the side of her skirt, and was still tugging at it until someone tapped her shoulder. She jumped three feet into the air. Hojo just stood there a little shocked.

"Uh, sorry Kagome didn't mean to frighten you."

"Oh, Hojo, uh, sorry about that, I'm not all here this morning."

"I know, your grandpa told my mom about the migraines you keep getting, and then the tumor. It must be hard."

A sweat drop rolled (anime style) down her cheek. "Um, yeah, it was bad, but I'm better now. See?" she waved at him stupidly and turned, hoping he didn't catch her rolling eyes, and mimicking mouth.

"That's good Kagome. Are you feeling up to going to a movie tonight? We can stop by Mc Donalds if you want before the movie (oh how cheap of him.), and get something to eat." He seemed to be doing some sort of pleading with his hands while she had her back turned.

Well why not? She wasn't taken. Mister Butthead wouldn't care if she jumped off a cliff, landed into a lake of piranhas, got eaten alive and the remains of her ended up lying next to him in the morning. Yeah, he wouldn't care, and she would prove she didn't either. "Time for a new life!" Kagome shouted, raising her fist into the air. Hojo just kind of stared at her in confusion, but it immediately smiled when Kagome nodded in approval to his offer.

Kagome was thinking all about revenge on her mind. This had nothing to do with Hojo, or maybe it could. Maybe 3 years from now she would take Hojo down the well and get married in Feudal Japan just to spite Inu Yasha, if it had any affect at all.

Hah! Yeah that's it! I'll get that boy to wish he had stuck to me!

(No, this is not the revenge plan mentioned in my summary-cause then the plot would be thinner than ice.)

The late bell rung, and when she turned back to Hojo, he was gone. "Dangit! Late again!" She ran to first period, and before she opened the door, someone's hand touched her shoulder. Kagome closed her eyes. She knew it was coming, she knew it was the principle. God, she didn't need that today! She'd be grounded, and not able to go out with Hojo. She waited for him to say, "Miss Hugurashi, but it never came. In fact, one hand reached for her waist and she was turned around. It was Hojo, much to her relief and displeasure.

"Kagome, I have wanted you to be my girlfriend for the longest time. I have known you for so many years, and I guess I was afraid to tell you, but I think that's been my biggest mistake all along." Kagome couldn't help miss the eagerness in his eyes, and his pleading was so pathetic it made her feel sort of sympathetic, sort of. But soon she was caught in a rush. His grip tightened on her waist and he pulled her forward.

'Oh no! He is going to kiss me! No, I'm not ready, please no! Wait maybe this is how I move on.' Her brain was still battling inside as he moved closer. Kagome half wanted to push him away, and half wanted to kick him in that oh so tender spot. But she did neither. She just let him kiss her. (No flames I swear she is not ending up with him! Or maybe-haha) His lips crossed hers, and soon he was asking for entrance, but she didn't let him. No way in hell was she letting him. She kissed a little back. She had never been kissed before, so she kind of wanted her first kiss to be nice, and with Inu Yasha, but this wasn't him was it. No! It wasn't, and that was exactly why she was doing this, to spite him. But somewhere in the back of her mind, she knew that he wasn't watching. She pushed against Hojo's chest, kind of signaling him to move away. He obeyed.

"Listen Hojo, I like you, really, (I'm lying to him!) But I don't want to move to fast. Kay?"

Hojo stood there for a second; seemingly trying to let what she just said to him register. She waited, for about 10 seconds. God was he slow. She didn't have time for this. She stood there tapping her foot.

"Oh yeah, sure Kagome. Just tell me when your ready." Hojo sounded like a robot just then, but oh well. She had forgotten that they had first period together. He walked right in front of before she had a chance to grip the handle. She glared at him.

"Hojo, I said I didn't want to move fast." But he didn't seem to be listening; he picked her up (bridal style) and opened the door. It took Kagome all the patience in the world not to yell at him, and she didn't want to be seen walking into the class like that. But it was too late. The teacher stopped the lecture and turned to them madly.

"Hojo, Kagome! What is the meaning of this?" Hojo sat Kagome down and turned to the teacher. Kagome was lost for words because she was still irate, hadn't he heard a thing she had said?

"Miss Kaede, I can explain. You know how I ride a bike to school?" she teacher nodded, clearly not very interested as she pulled out the detention forms, "Well, both Miss Kagome and I were going to be on time if I hadn't run into her. I wasn't looking where I was going and kind of bumped into her. She fell and twisted her ankle." The teacher looked at Hojo, then at Kagome, looking sympathetic! "So, I carried her here, trying to make it on time, I promise, you know I hate being late for your class, I love it. The word suck up kept flashing through Kagome's mind.

'Suck up suck up suck up suck up.'

"Miss Kagome!"

'Suck u. "Uh, yes Miss Kaede?" She blinked at her.

"Do you need to go to the nurse?"

Maybe this would have been easier to answer if she had listened to the conversation that Hojo had with the teacher. If.

"No Miss Kaede, I don't need to." Kagome smiled, praying she'd just start teaching again.

"Alright, then no complaining later." The class had already started the rumors, she heard whispering all around her, and she knew why the whispers never seemed to reach her ear, it was because it was about her.

~*~*~

'One minute till the bell rings!' She was so done with that class. She had been tapping the pencil all throughout the period trying to drown the whispers that kept floating by.

Ring! "Yay!" Kagome jumped up at the sound. Unfortunately, the teacher saw the whole thing. Hojo managed to slip away before the teacher called his name.

"Miss Hagurashi, please step up here."

'Dangit!' She walked up slowly.

"Yes?" her tone was a little nervous. "It's such a shame you can't keep a lie hidden." Kagome looked dismayed. She was handed a detention form with wow, her name on it. And on Friday for crying out loud!

~*~*~

Finally, bell had rung for all the detention students to leave the cafeteria. She was on her way home. Well, she was, but something shocking stopped her in her tracks. She groaned.

"Hey Kagome!" someone shouted behind her. The voice sounded so familiar.

'It couldn't be.could it?' she thought to herself. 'Dang it's not fair, how is it possible when I want to forget the past, it seems to follow me?'

Sorry everyone, but chapter one is really short due to little time. The story isn't going to be boring I promise, but I hope that you'll find my story interesting as it progresses. (
