It was finally lunch time and they only had four classes after. Kagome met up with Kikyo at their lockers and they were off to lunch.
"Thank Kami it's lunch time! I was falling asleep in that math class." Kagome exclaimed.
"I hear ya Kags. But there's only four classes left and we're in all but one together! Art for me and Choir for you. Then gym class, home economics, and finally study hall. Pretty awesome that we have study hall last class." Kikyo said as they walked into the cafeteria. They froze when they stepped into the cafeteria. Sitting at the table with Sango and Miroku were people they didn't recognize. There was a tiny girl there with tan skin, light purple hair, red lips, and purple eyes. There was also another guy with black hair down to his shoulders and brown eyes. Inuyasha was also sitting at that table, laughing it up.
"Uh…maybe we should sit somewhere else." Kagome said nervously but it was too late. Sango saw them and eagerly waved them over.
"It's ok Kagome. If he says anything idiotic again just zap him…or I will." Kikyo said, linking arms with her sister and they walked over to the table. They sat down next to Sango and took out their lunches of fresh sushi.
"So girls this is Shiori." Sango said indicating to the girl "And this is Musou." she indicated to the dark haired guy. "Musou is human and Shiori is a hanyou."
"Yeah my mom's human and my dad's a bat demon." Shiori said.
"It's very nice to meet both of you." Kagome said with a hesitant smile which was thankfully returned by Shiori and Musou.
"I can't believe I'm sitting with the Higurashi twins! You're so famous and beautiful! I mean Inuyasha you're pretty rich and famous but not even you can compare with these lovely ladies." Musou said with a smile.
"Wait…what do you mean Inuyasha's rich and famous?" Kikyo asked suspiciously.
"You know…Inuyasha Takahashi. Son of Inutaisho Takahashi. Major successful business man?" Musou asked.
"You're father is Inutaisho Takahasi! He does business with our father all the time! You're rich as hell and you yell at me? Calling me a snob when you're the only snob I see! You just feel threatened because you're not the richest kid in school anymore!" Kagome yelled, which was very rare. Kagome hardly ever lost her temper.
"Hey don't act like you're so much better than me!" Inuyasha yelled back, getting in her face.
"I don't have to act! I know I am. I would never judge someone on how they look, how wealthy they are, or based on if they're human, demon, or hanyou. But you judge people based on all of those things. You're the biggest hypocrite I've ever met!" Kagome said and shoved him out of her face, putting a small amount of purification energy into her hands to sting him and stomped out of the room once again. Inuyasha just stared after her, shocked.
"Wowww. I haven't seen her this mad since…ever really. You've got some nerve Inuyasha." Kikyo said coldly while going back to eating.
"Aren't you going to go after her?" Sango asked and Kikyo shook her head.
"She needs to blow off some steam right now. Kagome's a powerful priestess and can be scary when she's mad." Kikyo said. Suddenly Inuyasha pushed out his chair and walked out of the cafeteria, ignoring the stares from people around him.
Kagome wandered the halls until she made her way to the gym workout room. She looked around until she spotted a punching bag. She walked over to it and started punching and kicking it, imagining that it was Inuyasha she was beating. But doing that just made her more angry because she was picturing his snide, smug face. She screamed out and put a lot of energy into her last punch and the punching bag flew off its hook and disintegrated.
"Wow. You're sister was right. You are scary when you're mad."
Kagome whipped her head around to see the boy she was just mentally killing leaning against some equipment and her eyes narrowed.
"What do you want?" she said turning her eyes away from him "Haven't you hurt me enough?" her shoulders slumped as she asked this and he felt guilt stab him in the heart.
"Look…I uh.." Inuyasha started while walking toward her. "I'm…"
"You're what?" Kagome asked exasperated turning to face him.
"I was jealous ok!" He finally shouted. "I was jealous. I'm not as wealthy as you are but still…I was the wealthiest kid in school but still barely anyone noticed or liked me because I'm a half-breed. But as soon as you get here I hear people saying how they wish they could be your friend! How they would do anything to be your friend! No one wanted to be my friend." He said shading his eyes with his bangs.
"I did." Kagome said and his head snapped up.
"Y-you did?" He asked in disbelief.
"Yes. I did. Demon's murdered my mother and I still wanted to be your friend. I believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt before judging them as a bad person." She said, looking right into his eyes.
"I…had no idea. I'm used to people hating me for what I am." He said and Kagome's eyes soften against her will.
"Maybe if you gave people a chance they would be more willing to give you a chance too." She said, putting her hand on his arm. He let out a gasp and looked down at her hand touching his arm.
"Um…can we start over? I promise I won't be a huge ass this time."
"Hmm…I guess so." Kagome agreed cautiously.
"Hi I'm Inuyasha and I can be a jerk sometimes." He said sticking out his hand.
"Hi I'm Kagome and may be forced to put you in your place sometimes." She laughed and took his hand which lasted for about two seconds before she threw herself at him and hugged him around the waist. "I would also like to point out that I'm a fan of hugs."
Inuyasha laughed and hugged her back. The bell rang a second later, signaling that the period was over and it was time to move on to their next class.
"Well I'll see you in study hall. I have that last class too along with Sango and Miroku." He said to her as she ran out of the room.
"Great! See you then!" She called out behind her.
"Bye.." He said to the air seeing as she was long gone. For the first time he met someone who was willing to accept him just as he was and he almost blew it the first day! Even Miroku and Sango didn't accept him so willingly and they were his best friends. Could he find a true friend in this girl?
Kagome rushed through the halls. She was glad Inuyasha apologized. She really did want to be friends with him and now she could be. Kikyo would be mad that she forgave him so easily but it was in her nature. She was almost to the choir room and she couldn't stop smiling. An audition was required for this choir and a couple days before school started she came and auditioned. She reached the room and barely anyone was there yet. She was running faster than she thought.
"Oh hello again Kagome. It's nice to see you. Just take a seat on the risers after picking up the score from the piano." The teacher, Ms. Aika, instructed. Kagome smiled and nodded her head. Sitting down on the risers after getting the score.
Kagome instantly excited. It was the opening number of one her favorite musicals. An American musical called Rent. There were two solo parts as well, a girl part and a guy part. She would definitely be going out for that solo. She looked up as more students started pouring. She didn't recognize many people. She did recognize a couple people though and one of them was Kagura, the girl that was part of the group Sango warned her about. Kagura spotted her and smiled, making her way over to her. Kagome smiled hesitantly back. Maybe Sango was wrong about her.
"Hi! You're one of the Higurashi twins! I'm Kagura Kaze*" Kagura said, sitting down next to her.
"Hi. Yeah I'm Kagome. Nice to meet you!" She said in a friendly manner. Kagura smiled at her before her eyes slid across the room to land on someone. Kagome followed her gaze and found herself staring at Sesshoumaru.
"What! He's in this class? Well that's something I'd never expect." Kagome said raising her eyebrows.
"For sure. He's so damn sexy though. We're practically dating…and he's a great kisser. You can imagine. But listen Kagome. I want to level with you." Kagura said turning serious. "You and you're sister really need to ditch the crowd you're hanging around with now. They're just a bunch of losers and rejects. You need to surround yourself with people as fabulous as yourself. So ditch the losers and come hang out with us."
"Umm I think I can hang out with whoever I want thanks." Kagome said, her smile turning sour and her eyes narrowing. "I don't really like people telling me who I can and cannot hang out with."
"I'm just trying to warn you here. Hanging out with them will just hurt your social standing." Kagura said bitterly and Kagome narrowed even more.
"I think I'll take my chances." Kagome said before getting up and moving to sit somewhere else as the teacher started the class. They started warm ups and Kagome contemplated what Kagura said. She couldn't believe she had the guts to say it would hurt her social standing. As if it was so important to her. And was she really dating Sesshoumaru? She looked over at him and to Kagura glancing at him hungrily. She looked back over at Sesshoumaru and he glanced over to catch her eye. They stared at each other for what seemed like forever until Kagome had to tear her eyes away from his. For some reason it caused pain in her chest to believe that they were dating.
It was finally study hall. Kagome was glad to have her last three classes with Kikyo. They spent the last two classes talking about what Kagura said to her and Kikyo was just as appalled as Kagome was. They were currently filling in Sango about what happened before the guys got there.
"That little bitch!" She said outraged. "She's just trying to up her popularity by being able to say she's friends with the two richest girls in Japan. Ohh I hate her!"
"Calm down Sango! We're not going to fall into her trap don't worry." Kagome said patting her hand.
"What aren't we worrying about here?" Miroku asked, plopping down next to Sango.
"Uh were not worrying about lady problems. Everything's a-ok!" Sango laughed nervously.
"Ew. That is one topic of females I never want to discuss." Miroku said wrinkling his nose.
"So how was choir, Kagome?" Inuyasha asked and everyone's jaw dropped.
"Oh it was so fun! Did you know Sesshoumaru's in that class?" Kagome asked the last part just by moving her lips because Sesshoumaru happened to be sitting at a table on the other side of the room looking out the window once more.
"I don't follow what he does. I could care less." Inuyasha said shrugging his shoulders.
"Hmm." was all Kagome said and stared down at the table in thought. They continued their conversation as normal until the bell rang.
Kagome and Kikyo got their things from their lockers after getting everyone's cell phone number. They then got in Kagome's car and went to pick up the boys. Sota and Shippo were happy to see them and were bouncing in their seats.
"Okaa-san I made a friend! Her name is Rin! Some boys were picking on her and I saved her! She's my best friend!" Shippo said excitedly and with pride.
"Oh that was very brave of you Shippo. But you know it's not nice to fight with other boys. But I'm glad you made a friend." She said smiling at him through the rear view mirror. "I guess it's been a crazy but overall good day for us all."
