Kagome and Sango headed out to the car, both a lot calmer, when Kikyo stepped in front of them, Inuyasha's arm slung over her shoulder. " Hey, Kags" Kikyo said in a high pitched, annoying voice.
Kagome just stared at her, but that didn't seem to have any effect. She continued anyways.
" So listen, there's gonna be like this huge party at my house tomorrow night. Well actually it's Inuyasha's party, he's just havin it at my house. And anyways, I was just wondering if like, you maybe wanted to come?" Kikyo said giggling.
" I don't know if--" Kagome started but was cut off by Kikyo.
" Oh, come one, you have to come. Everyone's gonna be there. Well, almost everyone. Only the losers aren't invites, like that Hojo kid, and that one girl. What's her name, you know the one that dresses like a guy all the time. Ummm, " Kikyo tapped her finger to her chin, then snapped her fingers, " Higurashi! That's her name. But yea, other than her and a few other people, everyone will be there."
Kagome's eyes narrowed at her name." You know what? I don't think I can make it!" Kagome said coldly and walked away, Sango following and holding her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing.
The next day as Kagome was opening her locker, she looked next to her to see Miroku looking at her with wide eyes.
" What?" Kagome asked him as Sango walked up to them.
" Uhh, nothing you just actually look like a chick for once." Miroku eyed her pervertedly.
" Go tohell, Miroku." Kagome turned back to her locker, smiling to herself at his somewhat compliment.
" Kagome! Oh my god, you look hot!" Sango exclaimed as she walked up to her smiling.
Kagome had decided to dress nice today. Not because Kikyo's words hurt her, only because she wanted to prove her wrong. She had on a tight black tank top that showed of her toned abs. With it she wore a white, long sleeved half jacket and a jean miniskirt, her silevr stilettos showing off her toned legs.
" Yea, whatever. Lets go." Kagome shut her locker and walked off, leaving a speechless Miroku.
" So, are you gonna come to the party with me?" Sango asked hopefully.
" I told them I was busy." Kagome shook her head no.
" So then come as Kagome, not Kags." Sango whispered to her.
" Oh, yea. I'm sure Kikyo would just love that. She'd probably invite me to stay the night n we could like, do each others nails." Kagome said sarcastically, making fun of Kikyo.
Laughing, the two friends walked into the classroom, where almost everyone looked up in shock. Kagome saw Kikyo's eyes widden, then narrow as she Kagome walked to her seat.
" Well, well, well. If it isn't the little wannabe. What, do you think you'll get invited to my party just for wearing a skirt?" Kikyo scoffed as she looked her up and down.
"Oh, yeah. Because I wanna go to a party with a little whore like you." Kagome set her books on her desk, now standing in front of Kikyo.
" Why you little bitch?" Kikyo exclaimed and took a step forward, raising her hand to slap Kagome.
Before either girl could do anything, a hand shot out and grabbed her wrist. Kagome turned half way to see who was behind her, and her arm brushed a muscular chest. Looking up, she briefly met the gaze of Sesshomaru before he looked back at Kikyo.
" Leave her alone. Don't you have anything better to do with your time?" Sesshomaru's voice was quiet, yet threatening a the same time. After a couple seconds, a shocked voice was heard from the doorway.
" What the hell is going on? Sesshomaru, get your fucking hands off my girlfriend!" Inuyasha was walking towards the three. The scene before him was one of the strangest he had seen in a long time. Here was Sesshomaru, holding onto Kikyo's wrist, while Kagome stood in between them, looking up at Sesshomaru with surprise.
'Wait, that's Kagome!' Inuyasha thought as he looked Kagome up and down, a small smirk on his face, 'She looks hot!'
Sesshomaru growled lightle and let go of Kikyo's wrist. After glancing down at Kagome one more time, Sesshomaru brushed past Inuyasha and sat in his seat. He sat there quietly until the bell rang, and he practically ran out of the classroom.
That day, Kagome looked all over for Sesshomaru, but she never seemed to find him. She would see him, but a second later he would be gone. Kagome walked to her locker after class and was surprised to see Inuyasha standing there. When he saw her he smirked and nodded at her.
" Hey, what's up?" He asked and moved so that he was leaning against the locker next to hers, watching as she opened her locker.
" Uh, nothing." Kagome looked at him, confused, and opened her locker so that it blocked his face.
Inuyasha chuckled and moved so he was on the other side. " So, listen. I just wanted to apologize for what Kikyo almost did earlier. She didn't mean to."
" Yea, sure she didn't." Kagome scoffed.
" Ok, so maybe she mean to, but Kikyo doesn't really think before she does stuff, and then ends up doing something stupid." Inuyasha waited for a response, but when she didn't answer he continued, " Sooo, anyways. I just wanted to invite you to my party at Kikyo's tonight. Consider it a peace offering." Inuyasha chuckled at his joke.
" And why should I go to your party?" Kagome asked as she zippered her back pack, closing her locker door.
" Cause I'll be there." Inuyasha said cockily and walked with her as she headed for her car.
" Oh wow, now I can't wait to go." Kagome said sarcastically, making the both of them smile.
" I'm serious. I really want you to come. I've been kinda mean to you lately." Inuyasha held open the door for her.
" Kinda?"
" OK, so I've been an ass. But seriously, think about it ok? It'd be fun." Inuyasha finished and watched as she opened her car door.
" Fine. I'll think about it." Kagome gave in and drove off, dialing Sango's number the minute she was out of Inuyasha's sight.
