-----------------------------------------------

The next morning went along pretty normally. Accept that there was an icy silence that seemed to drop down whenever the two sisters were in the same room. So icy that Mr. and Mrs. Higorashi seemed to shiver slightly when both girls walked into the room that morning. Their parent's didn't even bother to ask what the deal was. Their twin daughters fought so often and over the same pointless things they didn't see any point. So they sat at the table in silence while Kagome and Kikyo bustled around the kitchen getting their breakfast and lunches ready taking special care not to get to close to the other.

Kikyo ran out to catch the bus. Having decided not to let her parent's buy her a car when public transportation and getting rides with one of her friends was much better for the environment. While Kagome used her extra time to make sure her makeup was perfect. Then she also hurried off; getting into her light blue VW convertible.

As Kikyo drove she found that her thoughts strayed more and more toward Inuyasha. she couldn't, for the life of her, figure out why. 'I mean,' She thought to herself. 'just think about what it would do to your reputation if, god forbid, you ever thought about dating him.' she shuddered a little. Life may be unfair, but high school was brutal.

She pulled into the parking lot and rushed to her friend Songo who smiled at her. She looked amazing as usual. Her gymnasts body looked perfect beneath her school uniform. She smiled back at her friend and they walked out of the parking lot and toward the school.

"I'm still sorry about last night," Kagome said. "my sisters such a pain!"

"It wasn't SO bad. It was actually kind of fun…I suppose Miroku got a little annoying though." She said laughing a little.

"That's a bit of an understatement!" Kagome exclaimed. "He spent half the night shamelessly flirting with you and the other half asking you to take your top off! And THEN he grabbed your ass. Or at least he would have if you hadn't been quick enough to grab his hand, pull it behind his back, and threaten his ability to reproduce. He's such a letch!"

Songo giggled. "I know. Did you see the look on his face when I told him how much I knew about castration!" She laughed, eyes bright and cheeks pink while she remembered. Kagome started to wonder if Songo was fond of the memory.

Kikyo watched Kagome and Songo walk into the school from where she sat on the steps in front of the main entrance with her band mates Kagura and Miroku. All of whom punked out their school uniform so that they looked as if they were wearing clothes they'd have worn any other day. Miroku whistled at Songo as she walked up the steps. She glared at him and made a scissors like motion using her index and middle finger. But as she made her way past Kikyo's step she was sure she caught a hidden smile on Songo's face. 'Weird.' Kikyo thought to herself.

"She totally wants me." Miroku said smugly. And Kikyo smiled to herself thinking that, for once, Miroku might be right.

"Yes. Clearly, threatening to cut your balls of is her way of flirting." Kikyo said anyway. Her voice dripping with sarcasm. The last thing she wanted was to lose her drummer to someone in her sisters "crowd".

Kagura let out one of her deep throaty giggles. And said. "I really should ask her for pointers. If I'd have known something like that would work I would have started threatening men into dates ages ago."

Again Kikyo laughed and watched as the small pack of guys walking into the building eyed Kagura wearily, having only herd the last part of their conversation. They all began laughing some more at the startled look on the boy's faces. Kagura gave no hint of embarrassment. It gave her a certain pride knowing that people were afraid of her. Even though there really wasn't anything to be afraid of at all. She was like a kitten playing with a mouse; having no intention or ability whatsoever to kill it. But enjoying the chase. Kagura just liked to scare people.

Kikyo looked at her watch and knew the bell was gonna ring soon so she grabbed her backpack just as Kagura coughed a "hem hem". Smiling she pointed at the next person to walk up the stares. It was Sessho, and Kikyo's heart skipped a beat.

"Hey Kikyo." He said with ease as he walked by her. That near invisible smile on his lips. She began to wonder it there was any smile there at all. 'Maybe I've been imagining it.' She thought to herself. She blushed again and cursed herself for it. Blushing was just something she didn't do. 'I must look like a pathetic schoolgirl with a crush!'

Quickly trying to hide her embarrassment she scowled at him, grabbed Kagura's hand, and dragged her up the stares saying "Come on Miroku" while Sesshomaru stood their a little shocked. Her reaction was far from what he had expected. It reminded him of last night when she had ignored him. It annoyed him almost as much as It intrigued him. And he continued his on way into the school.

"Why would you do that!?" Kagura demanded. "He was smiling at you! Well…kinda smiling at you and he said hello! I thought you liked him!"

Miroku laughed. "No way! You've got the hots for smexy Sessy?" he said changing his voice so that he sounded like a lovesick school girl. "The dreamiest guy in school!" he pretended to sigh . "Man is Inuyasha going to be pissed!" He said his voice back to normal, laughing some more. Kikyo gave him a scowl that could freeze hell in the summertime. "Heh not that I plan on telling him or anything." Trying to look innocent.

"You better or else Songo's not gonna be the only one cutting off your balls." She threatened. "I just don't wanna start something that's not gonna work. We're like from two different worlds. It would never work out. So I'm just gonna ignore him till this all blows over. And don't give me that look Kagura you know it's what has to happen. And that's not the only reason, Kagome's totally head over heals for him."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

'I'm totally head over heals for him!' Kagome thought to herself that afternoon. She had to relocate her locker because of some construction going on in that hallway and her new one just so happened to be right beside Inuyasha's. He had been so sweet helping her to open her locker. And he teasingly poked fun at the pictures she was putting up in her locker. And she had blushed enjoying the attention.

"Wow" Inuyasha said looking at a small picture of her family. Her parents stood smiling behind 8 year old Kikyo and Kagome, who had their arms around each other's shoulders and looked as if they were laughing at some inside joke. "You two used to look identical! It's almost creepy. Looks like you guys got along great. What happened there?"

Kagome sighed. "Well Christmas when we were 12 Kikyo got a guitar and I got a sewing machine. And we just kinda drifted apart. She got caught up in her music and punk rocker thing and I concentrated mostly on fashion and being popular."

"Wait." he said confused, his brow furrowing. And Kagome tried not to notice how sexy he looked. "What kind of kid asks their parents for a sewing machine for Christmas?" he finished; laughing at her present. Kagome took a playful swat at him.

"I like sewing ok! It may not sound exciting but who knows I may become famous some day."

"That's cool I guess." And his smile was genuine. Now she just wished she knew more about him. Kagome would have given anything to make the conversation last longer, if just to spend more time with him.

But he said. "Well I gotta get going so I can give your sister a ride home. See you soon?" and he looked at her hopefully. She tried to keep from blushing.

"Ya." She said. But she was a little nervous. She found herself getting tongue tied around him. And their conversations had usually been one sided. Him steering the conversation. And Kagome knew eventually he would get bored having nothing to talk to her about. She could always ask her sister. But she wanted to get to know him on a more personal level before she threw her reputation out the window for him. 'I mean' she thought to herself. 'What if I go through all that only to find out I don't really like him that much at all? What if I'm just infatuated?' She could only imagine how much social climbing she would have to do to get pack to her level of popularity after breaking up with someone like Inuyasha.

That's when she thought of something she didn't like. After all it would mean spending a lot of time with Kikyo… But in the end she decided it was worth a try.

-----------------------------------------------------

"Can I ask you something?" Kagome asked Kikyo as she walked into their kitchen.

Kikyo tried to hide her surprise. It had been a long time since Kagome talked to her in such a friendly manner. Usually they were fighting. "Um…sure. I guess" She approached with caution, thinking it might be a trap. Silly, she realised. But it never hurt to be cautious. Sister's can be crafty.

"How much do you like Sessho?" she asked.

'Aha!' Kikyo thought. 'I knew it!' Someone must have over herd her, Kagura, and Miroku and told Kagome. Kikyo steeled herself .

"I'm not after that pretty boy your on the hunt for so you can stop worrying your preppy little head over the stupid gossip you hear from your friends. I'm not interested in him." She snarled.

"I'll take that as a yes. And you can relax. Sesshy's all yours. There's someone else I have in mind and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me out." That caught Kikyo off guard. 'Who? And why would she need my help?'

"Listen I know we haven't been very close these past few years. But can you put that all aside, be my sister, and help me out?" again Kikyo was caught by surprise. She looked into Kagome's eye's and saw that she genuinely needed her. A bunch of memories flooded Kikyo's mind, specifically one where her dress had ripped during their grade school grad party and Kagome had sewn it back up with the needle and thread she always kept on her, and Kikyo knew she couldn't say no.

"Ok tell me what you need. But I know I'm not going to like whatever you have planned." Kikyo said without enthusiasm.

Kagome jumped up and down clapping. She ran at Kikyo, throwing her arms around her, and squealed "Thank you! You're the best sister ever! Your right about not liking it. But I promise it won't be all that much fun for me either."

"Ok, ok, now get off me before I choke to death." Kikyo said getting a little embarrassed and Kagome released her. Kikyo began wondering what she'd gotten herself into. 'Too late to back out now'
