Chapter 2
The Juliet Auditions
"You bitch!" Kagome hissed at Sango after the bell rang, signaling the first passing period for the first class.
"What?" Sango asked innocently.
"You want Inu Yasha to have Romeo's part in the play." Kagome replied angrily, "And you knew I wanted Juliet's part." "Aw, don't be mad, I'm doing both of you a favor. And when both of you get married and have a child, you're gonna name your baby after me, because of my good deeds and intentions." Sango said all to happily.
"Yeah, Kagome," Rin chirped, "After the play, I think you and Yash can hit it off. Besides, there are some make out scenes." "What gives you the idea that I want to hit it off with Inu Yasha?" Kagome retorted.
"Well," Sango started, "He's Inu Yasha Taisho, and you're Kagome Higurashi. It's meant to be." "You sound like that's supposed to answer it." Kagome said flatly.
"Okay, fine." Rin started, "First day of kindergarten, at the sandbox, that's where both of you met, and had your first fight. Look at where you are now, with him. We all know you like him and he likes you, the big arguments are a really big pointer as to your attraction for one another. Besides, it's to late to back out. I signed all of you in to audition." Kagome groaned, "You guys have been studying us like guinea pigs, and I am not attracted to him, and I'm not at all happy that you bribed him into auditioning for Romeo's part!" "Denial is the first step to healing." Sango stated. "I don't understand why I hang out with you retards." Kagome groaned again. "It's because you love us." Sango cheerfully said as she draped an arm over her friend's shoulder.
"Keep thinking that, Sango." Kagome muttered.
"What do I have first block?" Rin asked.
"Uh… well, Sango and I have Advanced Biology right now…" Kagome thought for a bit.
"You have a free period." Sango said.
"Oh yeah… how could I forget? You suckers get to learn bout nature and life, and I get to sit on my ass…" Rin paused, "with Sesshy!" "You only asked so you could shove it in our faces." Sango stated tediously.
"Yup." Rin smiled sweetly, "see ya, suckers." The girls groaned and rolled their eyes at her, and she giggled.
"See you next class, Rin." Kagome said as a farewell, and Sango waved her hand goodbye to Rin.
Rin smiled and headed for the library, where she knew her boyfriend would be.
Sango and Kagome entered the lab-room, still chatting about the play while finding a lab-table to sit at. "So if you are going to audition, what part do you want?" Kagome asked as she set her backpack down and sat on the stool chair. "I was hoping for the nurse or for one of the mothers. Maybe Lady Montague." Sango replied as she sat down beside Kagome.
"I think Miroku would want to be Montague, your husband." Kagome giggled.
"He should be the monk in the story, although I know that's the total opposite from his perverted self." Sango snorted. Kagome just giggled.
"But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the sun." a voice purred behind the two girls, "Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief that thou, her maid, art far more fair than she." The girls turned around to acknowledge the person who recited the famous line of Romeo and Juliet.
"Kouga," Kagome smiled, " good morn to ye, sir." Kouga smiled back at her, "O, speak again, bright angel, for thou art as glorious to this morning, being o'er my head, as is a winged messenger of heaven unto the white-upturned wond'ring eyes of mortals that fall back to gaze o him when he bestrides the lazy puffing clouds and sails upon the bosom of the air." "Ah, so you're auditioning for the Romeo part." Sango stated.
"O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name, or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet." Kagome quoted.
"And you are auditioning for Juliet's part." Kouga stated more then questioned.
"Yup." Kagome smiled. "That's very pleasant then." Kouga said cheerfully, looking over what Kagome was wearing. Kagome didn't seem to notice.
Sango gave a quick glare at Kouga that Kagome caught. "Class in session, sit down and take out your notes. We're going to be watching a movie." the teacher announced as she walked into the room.
Kouga gave Kagome a quick smile and sat down at his table. "What was that for?" Kagome whispered.
"Nothing," Sango replied as she jotted down notes from the video.
"No, I know you don't like him." Kagome pressed, "Why?" "Nothing" Sango repeated in a soft hiss, "Take your damn notes." "I can get it from you" Kagome giggled.
"SHH!" The two girls quickly quieted and paid attention to the video.
Rin giggled "Sesshy, I don't think we should be in here…" "We're alone, no one can bother us since they have classes, and I like being in here. It's dark." Sess replied softly.
"We're in the theater, where there can be a psychotic pedophile on the loose and waiting for couples, like us, to make out and do something 'else'." Rin said, emphasizing on the last word. "Well, for one, I don't think a pedophile would go in here, two, I'm not going to make love to you in here, you deserve to be in a better place then a theater, three, no one can see us." Sess replied as he wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close.
Rin squealed in delight and rested her hands on his chest. "You're so romantic." she said a very girly voice.
Sess chuckled and leaned down to capture her lips. Their lips brushed, and their breaths caressed and mingled before their lips were together. The kiss was soft and chaste, gentle. Rin's tongue softly brushed Sess's bottom lip, causing him to groan softly, and his hands slowly worked their way up the back of her shirt, caressing the soft skin and kneading the muscles. He leaned more into the kiss, Rin sucking and softly biting his lower lip. Rin moaned softly, arousing Sess. She slowly pulled away and smiled up at him. He smiled back down, a rare moment, but not for Rin. He always smiled for her. "You're going to audition with me?" Rin said as she cocked her head to the side and ran her fingers down his chest, the material of his clothes blocking his skin from her touch. "I don't want to." Sess replied as he held the girl.
Rin gave him a look. "You're not going to support me through this?" "Well…" He started.
"I cant believe you! I thought you were going to come with me and participate to!" "Aren't Sango and Kagome going too?" "you're my boyfriend, not them!" Rin replied, hurt. Tears started to gather in her eyes.
"Don't cry Rin, Please don't cry." Sess pleaded as he held her close and rested his chin on her head.
"Why? My boyfriend doesn't want to go through this with me." She muttered on his chest.
"I'll audition with you, but I'm not promising to get the part." Sess mumbled as he kissed the top of her head.
"You will?" Rin brightened up.
"Yeah." he sighed.
"Thank you!" Rin squealed happily as she gave him a quick kiss and hugged him.
"I love you." She whispered.
"I love you, and always will." Sess replied softly. He pulled her down to have a seat with him, but ended up pulling her onto his lap. Her small frame was perfectly held by his body, and she cuddled to his chest. The couple stayed in that position, listening to each other's soft breathing and murmurs of their love to one another, until the bell rang.
Second period seemed to pass by slowly for Kagome, and when the bell rung signaling third class period or lunch, Kagome and Rin rushed out of the class room.
"I don't think I'm gonna pass pre-calculus." Kagome groaned. "Well, maybe it's because you doodle more than take notes." Rin replied.
"Shut up." "Hey, just pointing the truth." Rin defended.
The girls sat down at the usual lunch table, soon joined by Sango, Miroku and Sess.
"Hey, how come that handprint on you cheek hasn't gone away?" Rin curiously asked as she spotted the telltale handprint, glowing a red color.
Miroku smiled as he touched his sore cheek.
"Ah, this is Sango's second love mark for the day." He replied dreamily.
"He groped me again, so I smacked him on the same spot." Sango glared at him. "You're wearing a skirt! I couldn't resist!" Miroku defended himself.
Sess sighed and shook his head, seating himself beside Rin and giving her a soft kiss on the cheek and a trail down her neck, causing her to giggle.
Miroku and Sango sat across Kagome, Rin and Sess. Sango made sure there was a good distance between her and the boy beside her. She grabbed her sandwich out of her bag, unwrapped it and nibbled on it. The group began to eat their lunches and chatted about what happened during class and other non-important subjects. "Hey, where's Yash?" Kagome asked, glancing around.
Sango gave her a smile and looked at Rin.
"Yep, so obvious." Sango smiled.
Rin merely nodded.
"Shut up both of you, I was just wondering where he was." Kagome growled. "He's on third period, has French." Miroku replied as he 'accidentally' dropped his fork. "Clumsy me." He got under the table, 'searching' for his fork. The table suddenly jerked up, followed by a very sharp curse and a Miroku with a red mark on the side of his head. Sango eyes twitched as she watched him get up from under the table.
"Pervert!" she hissed and shot him a glare.
"Sango, my lotus flower! I can't help it! You have such pretty panties!" Miroku replied.
Rin and Kagome giggled and Sango shot both of them a glare.
The bell rung, signaling back to class for third period.
The rest of the class periods had seemed to pass by quickly, and the 6 teens headed for the theater to audition for the play.
"Guys, what if I freeze on stage?" Kagome asked as they headed inside the theater, spotting the other teens who would be auditioning for the play. "Keh, that'd be funny." Inu Yasha grunted. Sango smacked him on the head.
"Don't be mean." Sango scolded.
"Yeah, jerk." Kagome muttered.
"Keh." Inu Yasha snorted.
"You know," Rin started, " Sess and you may be twins, but you guys are nothing alike." "Fraternal twins." Sess corrected.
"I like Sess better." Sango stated. "You guys can kiss my ass." Inu Yasha sneered.
"Shove it, Inu Yasha." Miroku grumbled. Inu yasha snorted again and the six teens seated themselves. "Kikyo Nisou" Mrs. Rodriguez called out, the director of the play.
The teens watched the girl walk up the stage and was handed a script of what to read.
"Hey, she looks kind of like you… in a disturbing, eerie way." Rin whispered to Kagome.
"Gee, thanks." She replied in pure sarcasm. She looked over to Inu Yasha, finding him staring intently on the girl who was up stage. She sighed inwardly and paid attention to the girls performance. 'Yeah… Rin and Sango are right. Stupid girls, they're always right about me. I haven't felt this way about Inu yasha before. The stupid boy threw sand at me in kindergarten, why the hell do I like him?' Kagome thought to herself.
"Gallop apace, your fiery-footed steeds, towards Phoebus' lodging. Such a wagoner as Phaeton would whip you to the west and bring in cloudy night immediately." Kikyo quoted from the script. " Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night, that runaways' eyes may wink, and Romeo leap to these arms, untalked of and unseen…" "Bravo, Kikyo, you did good. You might be considered for Juliet's part in the play." Mrs. Rodriguez commented.
Kikyo smiled.
"But." The director started.
Kikyo's smile faltered.
"You read the script only and it seemed like you didn't really feel what Juliet was feeling." "Oh," Kikyo said and pouted, "Well, I'll still be recommended for the part, right?" The director gave a slight nod and Kikyo walked off the stage. "Kagome Higurashi?" Kagome gulped.
"Be Juliet." Sango whispered wide eyed, trying to encourage her friend, but the look on her face faltered her encouragements, and that just made her laugh.
"Shut up, Sango!" Kagome hissed as she walked towards the stage. "Woo! Go Kagome, break a leg!" Miroku cheered.
"Literally!" Inu Yasha joined.
"Both of you shut up before I break your legs!" Rin hissed.
"Shit…" Sess mumbled in embarrassment.
Sango was still giggling about Kagome's nervousness.
One of Mrs. Rodriguez's assistances, a girl, handed Kagome the script and pointed out which to read. Kagome nodded and looked into the assistance face.
"Hey, don't worry, just read the script and do some dramatic movements. If the crowd scares ya, imagine them in their underwear." The girl smiled at Kagome.
"Uh…" Kagome squeaked.
"Works for me," the girl chirped, "name's Ayame, good luck." With that the girl left Kagome, alone on the stage. 'shit.'
a/n: uh oh! Poor Kagome! Stage fright! lol, well, review and I'll post up how it really goes for the girl. Thanks! Reviewed By: kagome2242 [MediaMiner Member] On: April 24, 2004 15:11 EDT Comment/Review:

gee, don't you think that's kinda mean? guess you don't like stories that make sense and have nice articulate grammar. Anyhow, I'll continue my story ignoring this little groundling. THERE! changed the name, coz I was being dull, so I decided her last name would be priestess or something… not miko, another name.
