Hey guys, thanks for the reviews! I really appreciate knowing how you guys feel about the story! And now- onto chapter 2!
Chapter 2-Crumpled Notes …
"Aww, come on Inuyasha! Don't sound so upset!" A female voice emitted from the phone. Inuyasha's long silver hair was a mess, and his golden eyes had bags under them from lack of sleep yesterday.
"But Sango, you don't understand!" Inuyasha explained. "Kagi was my EVERYTHING!"
"Oh yes," another male voice said sarcastically, "I'm sure Kagi cared about their unofficial number one fan who they don't even know exists." Sango laughed at this a bit.
"Shut up Miroku, just stick to flirting with Sango!" Inuyasha said angrily.
"HEY!" Sango protested. "SHUT UP INUYASHA!"
Inuyasha sighed. "I miss Kagi so much…"
"Inuyasha," Miroku said dully , "they only started their hiatus yesterday…"
"And it's only a hiatus!" Sango said with hope in her voice. "It's not like they broke up or anything!"
"But that's what ends up happening! They say that they're going on hiatus, then they lose touch and never get off it! I have to go guys, I'm really stressed out!"
"Well, cheer up, I have someone for you to meet tomorrow that I'm sure you'll get along with Inuyasha!" Sango said brightly. "See you guys tomorrow!"
"Shouldn't Miroku be seeing you later tonight?" Inuyasha said with a grin.
"STOP GRINNING AND SHUT UP INUYASHA!" Sango slammed the phone down.
Inuyasha pulled the phone away from his ears to look at it strangely. "How did she know I was grinning? Feh, oh well." He hung up the phone and laid in his bed. He turned on the radio to hear Never Gone. "WHY MUST THE STUPID RADIO RUB IT IN MY FACE! I KNOW THEY'RE GONE SO SHUT UP!" He threw the radio out of his broken window, successfully breaking it. "Crap…that's the third radio since yesterday…. And I still need to replace my window…." He grunted and went to bed sadly.
The next morning, Sango stood in front of the school with a girl beside her. "Don't worry, you're gonna love him I'm sure! Hang on lemme go find him!" Sango took off, leaving the girl alone to stand there. She sighed unhappily, and her sigh was heard by an annoyed boy.
"What's your problem?" He asked her with a disgusted look on his face.
"What's yours?" She asked back. "And I don't need to tell you my problems!" She began to storm off and brushed her shoulders hardly against his while walking away.
"Watch it wench!" The girl stopped and did a complete 180. She looked at him with a very, very annoyed look on her face, one that could even match his own.
"What'd you call me!"
"You heard me, wench." She gave him an angry look, and stole his backpack and ran off. "HEY! GET BACK HERE WITH MY BACKPACK!"
"YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE CALLED ME WENCH!" She yelled back.
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" he leaped and grabbed her ankle, making both of them fall. She sat up to find his head at her feet, looking straight ahead towards her.
"PERVERT!" She creamed and slapped his cheek hard enough to leave a hand mark. She left his backpack and ran off. Soon after, Sango found a very distressed friend.
"Kagome where have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you! That friend I want you to meet-"
"Will have to wait," Kagome interrupted. "Some perv looked up my skirt…"
Sango got an annoyed look on her face. "Miro-san I'm sure……"
"Who?"
"No one, don't worry about it…" Sango sighed. 'I am going to kill that guy!' she yelled mentally. "C'mon, Mom and Dad asked the principle to allow us to have all of our classes together so you wouldn't get lost."
"And the principle agreed?" Kagome asked in wonder.
"Well he owed Mom and Dad a favor, so he was more than happy to comply!" Sango smiled. When in class, Kagome and Sango sat next to each other. A boy with a short ponytail walked in, on hand on his backpack strap, and the other in his pocket. He smiled as he sat behind Sango, who simply glared at him.
"Nani?" He asked in a confused way. "What did I do?" SMACK. The boy had a look of wonder as the handprint began to appear.
"You know exactly what you did, Miroku! How dare you do that to my sister!"
"Umm, Sango?" Kagome whispered. "That wasn't the boy…"
Sango's eyes widened, and she turned to look at Miroku, who seemed more confused than ever.
"I've never laid eyes on this girl!" Miroku said defensively.
"I am sooo sorry Miro-san!" Sango said in a sympathetic way. She hugged him, and Miroku forgave her instantly, though there was still a handprint on his cheek. "But wait, if Miro-san didn't do that, then who did?"
As if on queue, the guy who really did it walked into class, wearing a handprint somewhat identical to Miroku's. The boy made eye contact with Kagome, and she made eye contact with him as well. Kagome got up out of her desk quickly and pointed to him with an angry look on her face. He dropped his backpack and pointed to her with a face that dripped with anger equal to the amount on her face.
"YOU!" they both yelled.
Sango looked in wonder, as did Miroku. HE was the one who looked up her skirt! "Man Inuyasha, I knew you were upset because of Kagi breaking up and all, but did you really have to use that as your excuse to go look up a girl's skirt? You should do that because you want to, not because you're sad!" Miroku sighed, and Sango glared.
"Are you serious Kagome? Is this really the guy who looked up your skirt?"
"ON ACCIDENT!" Inuyasha said in defense. "SHE STOLE MY BACKPACK!"
"YOU CALLED ME A WENCH!"
"YOU CALLED MY SISTER A WENCH!"
"SHE'S YOU SISTER!"
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CALLED MY SISTER A WENCH!"
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LOOKED UP MY SKIRT!"
"I CAN'T BELIVE YOU SLAPPED ME!"
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU THREE WON'T SHUT UP AND STOP YELLING!" Miroku finally said, covering each of their mouths one by one. After everyone calmed down, they each took their seats, and Inuyasha took a seat behind Kagome so he could sit next to Miroku. The class started, but none of them were paying attention. Kagome and Sango were passing notes to each other, Miroku kept laughing because Inuyasha kept making faces at Kagome from behind. When she would turn around to see why Miroku was laughing, Inuyasha would stop quickly, making Miroku laugh harder.
"Miroku, would you like to tell the class what is so funny?" the teacher asked, sounding very aggravated.
"No ma'am," Miroku said, and now he and Inuyasha were both fighting fits of laughter.
"And just what is this?" The teacher snatched the note from Sango's desk. She opened it and began to read. Before she could even get a full sentence out, Kagome snatched it from her and tore it to shreds, then threw it away in the trashcan. The teacher was appalled.
"Miss Higurashi!"
"Yes?" Both Kagome and Sango answered. On her mother's request, her stepfather had taken the name Higurashi instead of changing her last name to his as a way to remember her first husband. Respecting his fiancée's wishes, he, his son, and his daughter took the name Higurashi.
"I'll let you off this time because it's your first day, but don't expect the same result next time!" The teacher turned around and began teaching again, and the minute she did this, the four of them went back to what they were doing. Inuyasha put his legs on the back of her desk and began shaking his legs. This shook her desk, so she wrote him a note.
'Could you stop doing that? It's annoying. Thanks! Kagome'. After reading it, he crumpled it up and threw it in the trash. He shook his legs harder than before, making her desk shake much worse than before. She sighed angrily and turned around.
"Do I have to slap your cheek so you can have twins!"
"Well SORRRR-EY Ms. PMS'er!"
"I am not PMSing! You're just a jerk!"
"Both of you! OUTSIDE NOW!" The teacher pointed towards the door, and Inuyasha and Kagome trudged out of the classroom.
"Now look what you did, wench!"
"Me! It was YOU that started it all! Maybe if you call me by my real name this wouldn't have happened! My name is Kagome!"
"I can't believe Sango thought I would actually get along with you!"
"My thoughts exactly!" The teacher came out with their referrals as Kagome said this. They went to the principle's office, and the principle had his fingers intertwined and had a grave look on his face.
"These referrals say that you two were disrupting class?" He asked.
"Hai," they answered.
"Well, what do you have to say for yourselves?"
The light bulb above Kagome's head lit up. She smirked inside, she began to form the fake tears that she had always formed at her many concerts. She pulled out a tissue from her pocket and began to wipe away the fake tears. "It's just- so hard- when you're PMSing! You men woulnd't understand, but-"
"Just go, both of you. Just leave."
Kagome sniveled. "Thank you, sir." Kagome and Inuyasha walked out, and the minute they closed the door, Inuyasha laughed.
"' It's just- so hard- when you're PMSing! You men wouldn't understand…'"Inuyasha said in a girly voice and started to cry in the same way that Kagome had.
"Shut up, I only did it so I wouldn't start off the school year in a bad way. And you could say thank you at least."
"Nah, I think I'll pass."
"You ungrateful jerk!"
"Yep, that's me. I'm not a jerk to those who don't annoy me."
Kagome laughed. 'I'm sure he wouldn't find me annoying if he knew who I really am…or was….'she thought to herself. 'But.. I'm glad that he doesn't know who I am, at least he doesn't treat me like some higher being or anything…'
'Weird wench, what's she laughing at?' Inuyasha asked himself mentally.
Kagome knocked on the door and the teacher answered it "He let you go?"
"PMSing," Inuyasha and Kagome said dully. They took their seats and Sango and Miroku laughed.
"PMSing?" they repeated, grinning from ear to ear.
"Shut up," Kagome whispered to them.
"So Kagome," Miroku began. The teacher turned around and glared at him, and he rolled his eyes and sighed. Pulling out a piece of paper, he began to write. Handing the note to Kagome, she opened it and read:
Do you know of the band known as Kagi?
'Know of them?' She thought to herself. 'I am one of them!'
Yah, I've heard a few of their songs.
Inuyasha loves them. He was so stressed out last night cuz he heard they were on hiatus.
Yah that sux huh?
Yah it does! What do you think about it?
My opinion? I think that if that's what they want to do then that's what they're gonna do.
Miroku grinned and gave the letter to Inuyasha. He read it, and hit Kagome softly in the back of the head. She turned her head to look at him, shrugging angrily. He got out a piece of paper and scribbled furiously. He gave it to her and she read:
WHAT KIND OF OPINION IS THAT!
At least I care about how they feel! It's their decision, not yours!
Whatever wench!
I AM NOT A WENCH!
Inuyasha again crumple it up and threw it away. The bell rang, and Inuyasha was the first one to leave. Kagome ran out of the class to him. "Don't think I won't get you back for last class!" She ran into the next classroom and sat next to him.
"Sorry wench, but Miroku sits there."
She smacked the back of his head. "Then Miroku will have to deal!" She said through gritted teeth as she gave him a completely fake smile. "Besides, I'm sure that he won't mind sitting next to Sango, he seems to have feelings for my sister…"
"I can't believe that she's related to an annoying girl like you."
Kagome saddened a bit. "She's…not my sister by blood, she's my stepsister, but I consider her to be my real sister."
"Heh, well be happy that you don't have a half brother like mine. He has no feelings whatsoever. I can't stand him, he's more annoying in you."
"Well I guess it's good to know that you find someone out there who's more annoying than me." Inuyasha moved his eyes to her wrists, and that's when he saw it- the bracelet. It was a bracelet that Kagi always wore when she needed luck, something that her father had given her as a child.
"Where…. Did you get that?" Inuyasha asked in somewhat disbelief.
"This?" She realized what he had seen, andshe searched her mind for an excuse that would be believable. "Uhh, I won it at one of their unofficial concerts. Fake, of course! Eheheh…"
"…..Why didn't I hear about the concert?"
"Really underground thing, my friend told me about it before I moved in with Sango! So I take it you like Kagi?"
"Like them? I LOVE THEM! I'm their number one fan!"
"Do they know you exist?"
"In my mind they do. In reality? I don't think so…"
"Of course they don't!" Miroku said, who had just walked in with Sango and sat next to her. "Hey, that's my seat!" Miroku said.
"DEAL!" Kagome said.
"And anyway, on some level I think Kagi knows you exist," Sango smiled at Kagome.
"Yah, I think so too." Class began yet again, and Inuyasha and Kagome were passing notes.
We should get Sango and Miroku together, officially I mean.
I've been trying to do that for years.
But you're a guy, so oblivious to how a girl feels or what a girl wants.
Yah yah shut up wench.
SHUT UP INUYASHA! Arg I can't believe that I was trying to be friends with you!
Inuyasha crumpled it up and threw it in the trashcan. "Is that what you do when you don't like what a note says? Crumple it up and throw it away? You've done that with every one of my notes!" She whispered to him.
"No, I throw them away so I don't say something I'll regret later. See I'm not good at keeping my temper, especially around wenches."
"I am not a wench! My name is Kagome! If Takumi were here-" She gasped when she realized what she had said. Inuyasha knew of only one Takumi, and by the way she had reacted after saying his name, he was sure that she meant the Takumi Fujiwara from Kagi.
"Takumi who?" Inuyasha asked. Just how much did she like Kagi? And how was it that she knew so much about Kagi?
"Takumi Fujiwara….. I'm a fan girl of his….." she said quietly. 'That's not true…' she thought to herself, 'Takumi is my unofficial over protective older brother, and he would have given you a black eye in a heartbeat if he heard you call me a wench…'
"Well I can't blame you, he is a very talented guitarist, and a lot of girls like him. I, like every other guy who's a fan of Kagi, am a fan of the Kagi Shimizu." Kagome couldn't help but laugh. Kagome could get a lot of information from him now… she was beginning to like this…..
