~Love at Shikon High~
~The Truth of Fate, Love, and…Hugs?
*Kagome P.O.V.*
"I'm surprised you recognized me so soon. It's a complicated and drawn out story. But, I came here because the time has come for you to know about your destiny, your fate." I look at her in awe and disbelief. "You, my dear sweet, powerful niece, are the Shikon no Tama priestess and you hold the fate of the world in your hands."
My mouth opens and closes. What the hell is this woman talking about?! My aunt, Shikon no Tama priestess, fate of the world in my hands?! Not making sense! As my mind whirls in circles I smile a little and say, "You know, when long lost aunt visits, she brings presents, not mind crumbling, life changing news that says I have the fate of the world in my hands…" Midoriko smiles and chuckles.
"Oh, you are more like me than I realized. Looks like some of my spirit is in you after all." Wait, what?!
"Listen, I'm not following any of this so let's start at the beginning, shall we?" I look from Midoriko, to mom. Mom sighs.
"Kagome, I think you and Midoriko should talk, alone." Mom stands up, kisses my forehead, and walks away and up the stairs to her room. So much for no man left behind. I look over to Midoriko to see her watching me. She sighs.
"Seems you've had training but not enough. Guess I'll have to start from the beginning but maybe another time. All you need to know is that I'm your aunt and I will be helping to train you to be the Shikon no Tama priestess, a priestess who is going to save the world one day and I fear that day is coming upon us quickly." She pats my knee with her hand. "Do not fear, Kagome. For you have a priestess light like no other. We will take more tomorrow when I have the books and when you are more likely to listen." She smiles before taking her bag and walking out the door.
Once it has shut I finally say what I had been holding inside, "Holy flying cows over the moon… What the hell is going on?!" I stand up and go to my room, flopping on the bed on my stomach.
My phone, which is on my bedside table, buzzes and I groan but sit up and grab it. In spite of everything, I smile as I read the name: Sexy Koga, your BF. I open the text and it says: Hey babe. How are you? I sigh as I text back.
(Koga, Kagome)
You know…okay, I guess. Wbu?
What's wrong? I don't know why but a part of me says I shouldn't tell anyone, not yet.
Ugh, just… Nothing.
Are you sure? You can tell me anything.
Yeah, I'm sure but thanks :)
No problem :)
So, I need your help with something, a favor

Lolz. You better not have too. We are playing 20 questions tomorrow.

You're only sayin' that cuz I'll be with you so we can play the game.
You're always with me anyway lol
…True… Lolz. I'm gonna have to come up with some good questions…
Haha you do that
Oh, I will. But you have to ask questions too, you know. I'll bring the rules and such tomorrow.
There are rules?
Duh, of course there is silly!
You make me carry you all day today and you call me silly?
You know you liked it ;D
Haha yeah I did
I KNEW IT! :D Well, I'm gonna go take a shower in a min.
Thanks for sharing haha
I know you wanted to know ;)
I so did ;P
Lolz. Well, TTYL Cuddly-Wolfie kins!
Ha TTYL cutie
I put my phone on the night stand and smile as I go to take my shower.
I finish one of the tiny braids in my long hair and tie it with 3 others with a hair bow. I breathe a sigh of relief as I look at the wet hair in billions of tiny braids and smile. I stand up and yawn. The clock says 9:45. I shrug and hop into bed. I close my eyes but open them back up when I hear the buzzing of my phone on the night stand. I grab it and turn over to see it better without pulling it from the charger in the wall. I smile when I see Koga's text: Good night beautiful, see ya tomorrow. I smile as I text back: Night Cuddly-Wolfie kins. See ya. : )
I lie back down and smile as I just focus on the blue eyed hottie who has somehow gotten my attention in the best of ways.
"Bring, Bri-." I slam my hand down on the alarm clock and groan as I sit up and stretch. I hop up and flip on the light, groaning before walking over to the vanity. I sit on the seat and sigh as I feel all my billions of braids to make sure they are all dry. I smile when they aren't and start to take all the hair bows out. Then I unbraid every little braid.
About 20-30 minutes later I breathe a sigh of relief and smile as I look at my wavy, crimped hair flowing over my shoulders and back naturally. I hop up and go to the closet and pick out a black floral blouson dress with lace like over the shoulders and black inning. I put it on and smile. It comes to a little above my knees. I put a brown belt around my waist and watch the dress flare a little more on the bottom.
I grab my brown wedge sandals and frown at my unpainted toenails. I smile and paint my toenails a pretty blue along with my nails. Then I add a glitter coat over it and smile as they dry. Once the toes are dry, I put on the sandals and skip down stairs, phone in hand as I grab a chocolate chip muffin and water. I set my phone beside me as I sit at the counter. It buzzes as a text comes and I jump and smile at the name. It's from Koga and it says: No chocolate muffin. I smile as I take another bite of my muffin. I text back: Too late : ) I love you!
I said no chocolate in the morning
But I didn't listen. You won't have to carry me so chill.
That's not what I'm worried about
Please don't be mad…
Of course I'm not mad. I couldn't be mad at you if I tried.
Good :) Because I need you! You're my new bestie! :D
Good :P Can't wait to see you at school.
Can't wait to see you either Cuddly-Wolfie kins! ;D
I smile as I throw away my muffin wrapper and put my water back in the fridge for later. I grab my phone and hurry back upstairs. I put on black heart earrings with floral design on it and rhinestones on the bottom side. I grab a flower bracelet, brown and multi-color necklace with flowers, feathers, and other stuff on it. I smile at myself. Good enough. I rush to the bathroom to brush my teeth and then go back to my vanity.
I put my foundation, eye liner, silver/gray eye shadow, and lip gloss on. I look at myself in the full length mirror and smile. I grab my bag and race down to see Sota sitting on the couch, already ready. I look at my phone and see that it's 7:20.
I walk towards the door and Sota follows, shutting it behind him. I hop in the driver seat and he gets in the passenger as always. I back out and drive to his school, the drive silent except for the radio. I turn it down and look at him.
"You okay there?" He looks at me.
"Yeah…" He goes back to looking out the window. I shrug and turn the music back up. I drop him off and head towards my school.
I'm there before I know it. I turn the car off and sit there, listening to Wide Awake by Katy Perry. I sing the last part and hop out of the car, grab my bag, and make my way to the bench. I smile when I see Sango and Miroku already there. Miroku is wearing a white t-shirt that says 'SOME THING CORPORATE' on it with red outlining, jeans that are a little skinny, and black converses. Sango is wearing a purple t-shirt that has a dinosaur on it wearing a cool hat and sunglasses and it says 'I'M SO FREAKIN' RAWRSOME' with holy flare jeans and purple converses. I sit beside Sango and smile.
"Hey!" I say, watching Sango and Miroku look me over.
"Dang girl, you trying to look good for a certain someone?" Sango winks and laughs when I blush a little. I roll my eyes.
"Shut up. I know who you dress up for." I giggle when she blushes more than me. "And I'm not dressed up. I just wanted to wear this." Sango raises an eyebrow at me.
"What about the hair?" I touch my crimped hair.
"Why? Does it look bad?" I panic but stop when I see Sango smiling. I hit her arm playfully. "You jerk!" She laughs and I do too. I look over at Miroku and see him watching us with a weird expression. "Sorry Miroku, you can have Sango back." I turn around as Sango and Miroku go back to their conversation about something. I smile as I see Rin skipping over to us. She's wearing black flats, dark blue shorts that go to her knees but hug her just right and a sparkly black racer back top with a blue tank top under it. Rin stops in front of me and looks me up and down.
"Kagome, you look so pretty!" She squeals. I giggle.
"Thanks Rin. You look pretty too."
"Aw, thanks. I was iffy about the blue tank top and black flats but then I was like, whatever." We go to talk about clothes and I pretend to ignore the half-demon watching me from afar.
*Inuyasha P.O.V.*
I sit with Kikyo and her friends but I keep turning to look at Kagome who looks amazing. Her wavy hair flows down her back in zigzag like pattern and her dress looks amazing on her. Her laugh carries over to me and my heart leaps. I almost jump up and run over to her when I hear the rev of a motorcycle. I see Kagome look over to the parking lot and a smile brightens up her whole face. I feel jealousy and rage shoot through me as I look to the person she's looking at and see Koga. Of course… Stupid mangy wolf. I gotta to get her, but how?
*Kagome P.O.V.*
I'm talking to Rin about the place where I got my shoes when I hear the rev of a motorcycle and look over to see Koga parking his motorcycle, black leather jacket on, dark jeans hugging him just right and black vans on him. I feel a smile brighten my face as he takes off his helmet, put it up, grab his bag, and make his way to me. He smiles back. His shirt is gray and it says 'MY FUTURE'S SO BRIGHT, I GOTTA WEAR SHADES' in black with a pair of sunglasses on it. I stand up when he gets in front of me. He sets his bag beside mine and smiles down at me, the crocked half smile I love.
"Hey." I say, trying to keep my voice and heart steady.
"Hey. You look beautiful." I blush.
"Thanks. You don't look so bad yourself." He laughs.
"Thanks." He looks down at my sandals and smiles. I look down and see the glittery blue nail polish sparkling. I smile up at him and hold out my hand. He grabs it in his own. "So you really did paint your nails blue."
"Of course. You told me too, remember?" He smiles at me and intertwines our hands before letting it fall gently in between us. I make no move to separate them. "So, you want to start or shall I?" He looks at me weird and I roll my eyes. "20 questions, remember?" He half smiles and chuckles.
"Oh yeah. Did you bring the rules?" He chuckles but stops when I grab a notebook from my bag.
"Yes, I did." He looks from the notebook to me and back again. I roll my eyes. "It's not going to bite you. This here has the rules and it's where we are going to write all the questions and answers so we don't re-ask questions and so we will remember."
"You are so weird." I hit him with the notebook.
"Shut up! I am not weird. I'm awesome and pretty."
"Yeah, you are." I blush and smile at him.
"Does this mean you'll do it?" He smiles back and rolls his eyes a little.
"Do I have a choice?"
"Nope!"
"Then yes, we'll do it your way." I squeal and hug him.
"Yay! I love you sooo much! This is gonna be soooo much fun!" I smile up at him and hold the notebook out to him. "Hold this." He does and I go through my bag to get my pink pen. I turn back to him. "Okay, I'm going to write down some questions and you'll answer them. My color is pink. I don't care what yours is so you just do whatever. Okay?"
"Okay." I smile at him.
"You're the best." I stick the notebook and pen back in my bag. "I'll stick it in my bag and write some questions down in 1st period and answer them. That way you won't have to ask me the same questions. Then I'll let you answer in 2nd and you can write whatever questions you want. Okay?" He smiles.
"Okay. But you're still weird. No one goes to this much trouble just to play 20 questions."
"I'm not weird. And this is more like 2,000 questions, not 20." I giggle when his eyes get big. "Calm down, I'm just kidding. We'll ask however many we want." He lets my hand go and puts it around my waist, bringing me closer to him.
"Kagome, you're such a dork."
I smile up at him, my face close to his. "Yeah, but I'm your dork." He smiles down at me, wrapping his other arm around my waist.
"Yeah, you are." I look around and notice almost everyone watching us. I look back at Koga.
"Koga, you know everyone is watching us."
Koga shrugs, not moving his arms. "Let them. Maybe they'll see something they like." I giggle and put my arms around his neck, a daring move I never would have done before.
"What if they think we are dating?"
"I'm pretty sure they already think that. I mean, I did carry you around like all day yesterday." He smiles his sexy smile and I smirk.
"Don't pretend you didn't like it."
"I'm not pretending anything, I'm just saying what happened."
"Well, people do think we are dating and I don't think some girls like that." He smiles.
"Some guys don't like that either." I roll my eyes at his comment.
"Please." Koga rolls his eyes.
"Kags look around right now and see how many guys have their eyes on us." I look around and see about 50 girls and about 65 boys. Whoa… I look back at Koga.
"So? Doesn't mean they like me." Koga rolls his eyes again.
"Kags, what does a guy have to do to prove he likes you?" He smiles down at me.
"I don't know…" I look him in the eyes, knowing we are way past friend territory, and yet, I'm okay with that. Then, I feel someone run into me, separating us. A set of strong hands are on my arms, keeping me from falling from the power of the momentum. I look up to see golden eyes looking into mine.
*Inuyasha P.O.V.*
I look away for 2 minutes to agree with whatever Kikyo is saying when honestly, I could care less. I look back over to see Kagome in the arms of that mangy wolf, smiling up at him. Jealousy flares up in me like a wild fire, totally uncontrollable. I barely have time to think before I was over there, knocking Kagome out of his arms and into mine. She looks up at me, her brown eyes warm and caring. Then they turn hard as they look into mine.
"What the hell Inuyasha?!" She says, stepping out of my arms and away. Koga rushes to her side, putting his arm over her shoulders. My jealousy spikes up again.
"I was just walking by." Kagome rolls her eyes at my lame excuse.
"Please. You were with your girlfriend way over there."
I smirk. "So, you were watching me, huh?" She blushes slightly, barely enough to notice, and smirks back at me.
"Psh, don't flatter yourself honey." She looks over my shoulder and says, "Ho ho ho…" I look at her funny.
"What? Is Santa Clause coming?" Kagome smiles a little at me.
"Nope, but your girlfriend is." I turn around and see Kikyo. Great…
*Kagome P.O.V.*
I watch Kikyo throw her arms around Inuyasha's waist, glaring at me.
"Yo, bitch, stay away from my boyfriend."
"Ain't my fault he wants to get away from you." Her glare hardens.
"Don't make me beat you down, here and now."
"OMG, I'm so terrified." I roll my eyes. "Listen, I honestly don't know what your problem is but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce." I smile as she stalks off with Inuyasha in tow. I breathe a sigh of relief when she's gone and lean against Koga.
I look over to see all my friends looking at me. I blush. "Um, how long have ya'll been watching?" They all smile and look away, going back to their conversation. "Greattt…." I whisper, snuggling into Koga. He chuckles as we walk over to the other side of the bench, where we were. We stand though because there's only room for one.
Koga chuckles as I practically glue myself to him, inside his jacket, against his chest.
"Are you cold?" Koga asks. I nod my head against his chest.
"And I forgot my jacket at home." I sigh in defeat. The bell rings making me jump. He chuckles some more. I playfully whack his arm.
"Shut up." I grab my bag and Koga grabs his and we walk behind Miroku and Sango and Rin. Rin rushes ahead to walk in with 2 other 10th graders and Sango and Miroku keep walking. Koga puts his arm around my shoulders as we walk into the school. He walks towards the stairs with me.
"Koga, where are you going?" I ask, looking up at him. He looks down at me.
"I'm walking you to class." I smile up at him.
"Awww! You're too sweet!" I put my arm around his waist on the inside of his coat. Then I smirk. "You're just making sure no other guy gets close to me." He chuckles.
"Yeah." I roll my eyes and stop at the classroom door. I turn to face him and shiver. Before I know it, I feel a jacket being covered over my shoulders and arms. I look up to see blue eyes close to mine. I smile.
"What are you doing now?" He smiles at me, his face close to mine, his hands on the front of his jacket that's over my shoulders and such.
"Giving you my jacket so you don't freeze to death." I throw my arms around his neck and kiss his cheek.
"You're the best! You treat me better than my boyfriend ever did." I look at him to see him looking at me.
"Your boyfriend?" I put my arms down.
"Um… Hey, I gotta get to class!" I kiss his cheek one last time and rush into the classroom, breathing a sigh of relief. I turn towards the door and say, "See you at break!" Koga smiles at me.
"Oh, you definitely will so we can talk about this boyfriend guy." He winks and walks away. I turn around and put my backpack down beside my seat and put Koga's jacket on. It's big and warm and smells like him. I smile. I look over to see Sango looking at me. She's smiling.
"Hey Kags, whatcha got there?" She nods her head to the jacket.
"It's Koga's jacket. I was cold and he let me borrow it." I smile at her. I sit down and grab my binder and such from my bag. I snuggle into the leather jacket, into the fuzz on the inside. It goes past my hands but I don't mind. I hear a smack and turn around to see Sango standing beside a red faced Miroku who's standing beside a pretty girl. Sango stomps back over to her seat and slams down, her face red with anger.
"He's so stupid. Going after every girl he sees. He's such a pervert! And asking them to bear his child! UGH!" She crosses her arms over her chest, super pissed. I turn back around just as the bell rings. What a great day… I smile as I zip up the jacket and snuggle into the warm space and try to pay attention.
I stuff my things into my bag as the bell rings and jump up. I put my bag on my back and rush to the door, Sango and Miroku arguing about something as always. I'm hoping to run out before Koga gets here. I rush out the door and freeze as I look to see Koga leaning against the wall beside the door, casual, waiting for me.
I mentally curse myself and walk to him, his eyes watching. I stand in front of him and smile. "Hey there…" He smiles.
"So, whose this boyfriend guy?" I look at him weird.
"What are you talking about? OMG, this jacket is so warm, thanks for letting me borrow it. I think I might have frozen in that class! It was way to cold and I don't know why but it was. I think they are just trying to save money by not using the heater thing. I wonder if I complain if they will use it. Maybe not. I guess I will just have to remember to grab a jacket and bring it with me whenever I leave the house to come to school." I finally stop to take a breath. He smirks down at me.
"You know what I'm talking about so spill it." I sigh.
"Fine…" I start walking to the other side of the hallway, to 2nd period with Koga beside me. "It was at my old school. His name was Hojo. He was very sweet and we went on a few dates." I look down, putting my hands in the jacket pockets.
"So, he's not your boyfriend now?" I laugh.
"Nope. My friend had a crush on him so I didn't think it was fair for me to date him. I'm single." I look up at Koga and say teasingly, "Why do you want to know?" He smiles at me.
"Because I just wanna know if I have any competition." I roll my eyes as we walk into the class. I go to sit at my seat and am stopped by a guy that sits near me in this class and is also in my gym class whose name I think is Bankotsu. He stands next to me as I sit my bag beside my chair. I look at him and smile.
"Hi. Can I help you?" He smiles at me, his long braid going down his back. His blue eyes looking into mine.
"Hey Kagome. I'm Bankotsu. I was wondering what you're doing this Friday night?" I blush a little but keep smiling.
"Why do you ask?"
"Well, I was hoping you would accompany me on a date." I giggle and go to say no when Koga suddenly appears in front of me, separating me and Bankotsu. He growls a little.
"She's busy." Bankotsu immediately backs down and walks away catching my eyes in a wink. I go around so I'm standing in front of Koga. I'm smiling at him. His face becomes soft, his growl fading.
"Um, Koga, I was going to say no anyway." He smiles. I put my hand to his shoulder. "But I appreciate you answering for me and by scaring him away."
"I told you boys like you." I roll my eyes at him and sit on top of my desk beside him.
"That was one guy; it doesn't mean anything." He rolls his eyes and looks at me.
"You obviously haven't seen yourself. Guys are falling over each other to get to you." I smile at him.
"Guess it's a good thing you're in the way." He smiles and bends down so his face is equal to mine.
"Yep, guess it is." I roll my eyes at him but keep smiling.
"You're so over protective."
"That's my job as your boyfriend."
"But you're not." He smiles evilly.
"That's not what some people think." I go to groan but shrug instead.
"Could be worse, I guess." I smile at him as he chuckles.
"Yeah, they could think you're dating that Bankotsu guy." I roll my eyes at his comment.
"Let it go. I would have said no."
"Do you have a crush on someone?" He asks, just teasing. I smile.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I do." He looks surprised and I giggle.
"Who?" I make the sign that says my lips are sealed. He puts his hands on either side of me on the desk and brings his face closer to mine. "Who is it?" I giggle and kiss his cheek.
"You're so cute when you're jealous."
"I'm not jealous." I roll my eyes.
"Yes you are."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are. Don't deny it!" I say. Then I notice how close we are, almost kissing. I blush a little but don't back down. He doesn't either although I know he realized it too. He smiles.
"Fine, I won't." I smile.
"Good."
Koga turns his head to look at Inuyasha. I look and see he's looking straight at us, anger and jealousy written all over his face. I frown and then hear the slight growling coming from him. His eyes met mine and he stops. I turn away and look at Sango and see her look away from me as she goes to talk to Miroku. Koga looks back at me. I shiver and snuggle deeper into his jacket. He smiles.
"Still cold?" I nod. "You can keep it for the rest of the day." I smile up at him and hug him tight.
"You're the best! No one is ever this nice to me!" I kiss his cheek and look at him. He's chuckling.
"Well, if people knew that all you have to do to get a kiss is to give you their jacket then they'd do that all the time." I roll my eyes and push him playfully.
"Shut up. You have girls fawning over you." He smirks.
"Jealous?" I blush a little.
"No." Yes. He chuckles.
"Don't worry, you shouldn't be." With that he walks away and slides into his desk as the bell rings. I hop down and sit in mine, thinking about what he said. Then I smile and hug his jacket close to me.
I jump up and throw my bag on my back as the bell rings. The jacket flaps open since I unzipped it and I pull it back into place. Sango walks with me to the door. Koga meets me and I stop to say good bye. "See you after 3rd." I wave as me and Sango rush downstairs to chorus.
We just sit down in our seats as Rin burst through the room. She sits down and looks at me. "Is it true?!" I look at her weird.
"Is what true?" She rolls her eyes, impatient.
"Is it true that you and Koga are dating?!" I almost fall out of my chair.
"WHAT?! Where did you hear that?!" She smiles at me.
"The hallway." Sango busts into the conversation.
"They aren't yet, but they will be. She's wearing his jacket for Pete's sake!" Rin looks and gasps.
"OMG! I can't believe it!" She squeals. She goes to say more when Kikyo and her gang show up in front of us. Kikyo looks at me, sneering.
"Yo, slut, stay away from Ayame's man. And my man." The red haired demon, Ayame, nods her head as what Kikyo says. I roll my eyes.
"Okay, wait. Why the hell would I want your man? I mean, your STD's are all over him. And Koga ain't Ayame's man. I haven't seen her near him and he hasn't said a word about her." I say cool and collected when inside I'm panicing about why Koga wouldn't tell me about Ayame and my mind is coming up with a million scenarios. Kikyo seethes.
"Bitch, you need to learn your place."
"Um, Kikyo, I'm guessing you already have yours: on the side of the road that is. BTW, I don't do that kind of work." I shrug at her. She stalks off, gang in tow as the bell rings. I breathe a sigh of relief but inside am still freaking out. What is Ayame to Koga, if she's anything at all to him?
Class couldn't have ended fast enough, even though chorus is my favorite class of the day. I stand up and walk behind Sango and Rin, who are talking about some store or something. I nod along but am really not paying any attention. We walk out and Koga falls in step beside me.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I look up at him and frown.
"Nothing." I look back towards the ground and don't say anything else as we get in the lunch line. I look and don't feel hungry. I walk out and go to the empty table, setting my bag down. I grab a dollar and go to the drink machine.
I'm waiting for my pink lemonade when Kikyo and her gang show up behind me. I turn around and look at them.
"Well, well, well… What do we got here?" Kikyo says, putting a hand on her hip. I grab my drink and go to go around them when Kagura gets in my way.
"Look, you can either get out of my way or you can get the fuck out of my way. Your choice." I say, smirking and crossing my arms in front of my chest. Kikyo smiles at me.
"Oh no. I think you forgot a choice. There's also the, we kick your ass choice. I like that one."
"Kikyo, get the fuck out of my way, now. Before I get seriously pissed off." Kikyo just smirks.
"Not so tough without your group, are you?" She takes a step towards me but I stand my ground. I almost leap for joy when I hear my name being called. Kikyo turns around to see Rin and Sango. I rush through Kikyo and to them. Sango looks back but I grab her arm and say, "She sure as hell ain't worth it." Sango looks at me and nods and we walk back to the table.
I sit in my usual seat and look at my hand and see it shaking. Holy flying foxes over the moon… I almost got my ass kicked. Sango and Rin get in their usual places as Koga, Ginta, and Hakkaku show up and sit down, Koga beside me. Koga looks at me and gets worried.
"What happened?" Sango opens her mouth but I beat her to the punch.
"Nothing! Absolutely nothing…" I look back down and play with my necklace.
Sango speaks up. "Kikyo and them were messing with her." I look at her and glare. She pretends to ignore it. Miroku and Inuyasha show up. Koga looks at me and I keep messing with my necklace. Koga goes to say something when Rin explodes at Inuyasha.
"What the hell is your girlfriend's problem?! Can't you control your own bitch?! Just simple command would be greatly appreciated! She was about to beat Kagome down and if she would have, I would have beat her down and then I would have come after you!" Rin takes a deep breath and all is silent….
Inuyasha, Koga, Ginta, Miroku, and Hakkaku all look at me. I play with my necklace but look up at all of them. "What?"
Sango explodes then. "WHAT?! You are threatened and almost hurt and all you can say is, what?!" I look at her.
"Maybe." She sighs and looks at Rin. "Listen, it's not that bad. She didn't do anything and I already knew she'd be after me. Just let it go. Mean girls will be mean girls no matter what you do or say." Everyone continues to look at me and I sigh. "I'm not a freak or an animal at the zoo: look the fuck away before I poke your eyes out." Everyone looks away but Koga. I met his eyes. "What?"
"What's the real problem?" He says, looking me in the eyes. I sigh, knowing I can't lie.
"Who is Ayame?" He starts to chuckle. I frown. "Why the hell are you laughing?"
"Ayame is a wolf demon who's had a crush on me since forever." He looks at me, still smiling a little. "Why do you care?" I blush a little.
"Because she told me to stay away from you."
"You aren't actually going to listen to her, are you?" He raises an eyebrow at me.
"No, I'm not. I'm going to stay with you. She just made it sound like ya'll had a thing or something." I look down at my drink and Koga grabs my hand in his.
"Don't worry. You're cute when you're jealous." He kisses my cheek just like I had down to him earlier. I look up at him and smile.
"Whatever…" I push into him and let his hand go so he can eat. I take a sip of my drink and everyone goes to regular conversations. I laugh with Ginta, Hakkaku and Koga and talk about clothes with Sango and Rin, earlier totally forgotten. The bell rings and I wait for Koga to dump his tray. I wave at everyone and walk up stairs with him on our way to science. He puts his arm around my shoulders and I look back to see Bankotsu behind us. I look at Koga and roll my eyes. He looks down at me, smiling.
"What?"
"You're so jealous." He scoffs.
"I am not." I roll my eyes.
"Okay, sure. Whatever you say babe." We walk into the science room and sit down. I grab my stuff out and shiver in Koga's jacket. I wrap it around myself tightly, not zipping it up yet. I look over to see Koga watching me. "What?"
"You look cute in my jacket." I smile.
"Thanks. I look cute in everything." He laughs.
"Yeah, you do." I roll my eyes at him. Kikyo and Inuyasha come in, Kikyo sending glares my way. I smile at her, but more at the fact about how Inuyasha won't let her touch him. I turn back to Koga as I cross my leg over the other, swinging it gently.
"So, gonna admit you're totally jealous of the fact that Bankotsu likes me?" I smile at him. He looks at me.
"I'm not jealous of that stupid bastard."
"Ohhh… So you are jealous?" He rolls his eyes and I giggle. I grab his hand in my own. "It's okay. I like how jealous you get." He smiles at me as the bell rings. I let my hand stay in his, liking the feeling, totally oblivious to the jealous silver eyed cutie watching out every move.
The bell rings and we hop up, swing out bags on our backs, and make out way out of the room and down the stairs. Two guys watch me, mostly my legs, as I make my way down the stairs. Koga puts his arm around my shoulders protectively. I look up at him then at the boys. I flash them a smile. Koga growls slightly. I roll my eyes at him.
"Just admit how jealous you are. Those guys just looked at me and you freaked out." Koga rolls his eyes as we start walking to the gym hall way. I poke his rock hard abs. "Admit it."
"No."
"Admit it."
"No."
"Admit it!"
"No." We stop in the hall way in between the 2 locker rooms. I frown then smile as I come up with an idea.
"Fine. But don't say I didn't ask." I skip away to the locker room, leaving him wondering.
I change and wait for Sango and Rin. I'm wearing my own gym outfit today; a pink, white, and black tennis like outfit with pink and black Nike's. I notice most other girls wearing white and green tennis like outfits. I put my hair up and walk out with Sango and Rin. I sit down below them as they sit below Miroku, just like always.
Koga sits on one side, Ginta and Hakkaku below us. I talk to them. When I see Bankotsu, I wave and smile. He waves back. He sits with some other guys. When they look up at me, I wave to them. Every single one waves back. I wink at them and most wink or wave back. I look back to see Koga looking at me.
"What?" He frowns.
"What is up with that?" I smile at him.
"I'm just being friendly."
"You're being too friendly."
"Does it bother you?" I ask, smiling at him.
"No." He says, smiling slightly. I shrug.
"Alrightey then. If it doesn't bother you then I guess its okay." I smile at him and look to see the coach walk in. She blows her whistle and everyone goes silent.
"Alright! We are going to run for a while! Girls on the track, boys on the practice field! GO!" I groan as we walk out. Koga chuckles at me while I push him. We separate and I go to the track field that's the outer ring of the practice field that the guys are running with Sango and Rin. We stretch and Sango points to the practice field. I look over to see some younger and older boys looking at me. I wave at them and they wave back. I watch Koga looking between them and me. I smile at him and go back to stretching. Sango and Rin giggle as the boys continue to watch. Coach blows her whistle and we start jogging the track, the boys jogging across the practice field in lines, back and forth.
Sango, Rin, and I jog together, talking as we jog. I wave every now and then to the guys watching me. I notice Koga watching me more and more. I smile to myself. I'm such a bitch.
About the 5th lap, Coach Yamashita blows her whistle and calls us to the middle of the practice field. "Alright! Boys, soccer. Girls, tennis. Go!" The boys stay at the practice field while we go next door to the tennis area.
As we are walking there I ask Sango, "Why are we doing regular things?"
Sango shrugs and says, "I'm guessing she's trying to text our hand eye coordination or something." We walk to the tennis court that has 4 different courts. Sango, Rin, and I grab a racket and walk to a court with Kikyo, Ayame, and another girl on the other side, the only one free. I sigh. Of course…
"Ready to lose?" Kikyo says, bouncing a tennis ball with her racket. I smile.
"Funny. Looks like you're ready to humiliate yourself in public again, just like yesterday." She glares at me and serves the ball over. I smack it back to her and it goes on and on, our team winning 15-7. Coach Yamashita finally blows the whistle and we put our rackets up and walk back to the gym with everyone else.
I bump into a 10th grader and go to apologize when he gives me a piece of paper and winks before walking away. I open the note and see it has his name and number and it says, "Text me sometime sexy." I burst out in giggles. Sango and Rin look at it and start laughing. We go and change in the locker room, still giggling. I put my hair down and spray my body spray on me before shutting my locker. I grab the jacket and my bag and walk out with Sango and Rin, still giggling about the note. We sit down, together, and Koga sits down on my other side. Sango and Rin start talking to Miroku about a movie and I turn to Koga, still giggling. He looks at me funny.
"What is so funny?"
"Nothing…" I giggle and hold the note in my hand. Koga sees it and goes to grab it but I close my fist around it.
"Give it."
"No." I say, looking at him. He holds my gaze and before I know it, he has the note. "Hey! No fair!" He reads it and looks over at the boy who gave it to me. I put my hand on his arm. "Hey, calm down." He goes to stand up and I hop in his lap, my legs on one side, and my arms around his neck. He looks at me, surprised.
"What?" I say. "I had to make sure you didn't kill that kid." I take the note and stick it in my bag pocket. I turn to see Koga smiling. "Why are you smiling?"
"No reason. Except for the fact that you are sitting in my lap." He wraps his arms around my waist. I roll my eyes.
"So? You make it sound like I never do anything like this." I stand up and sit down beside him. He frowns. I smile. "Do you miss me?"
"Yes." I roll my eyes and stand up as the bell rings. I grab my bag and his jacket and walk down with him and then rest of the gang. As I reach the bottom of the bleachers, behind Koga, 6 other guys hand me pieces of paper with their names and numbers on it. I smile and wink at them as I take them. I turn around and almost run into Koga. I stick the notes in my bag pocket and smile up at him. "Let's go!"
I start walking and he walks beside me, putting his arm around my shoulders. I roll my eyes but let him. When we reach the parking lot, I give him his jacket and kiss his cheek.
"Next time you're jealous, just tell me so I don't have to prove it to you." I wink and laugh as I walk to my car. I turn around to him and say, "BTW, 2,000 questions starts tomorrow, I forgot about today!" I hop in my car and turn it on. I back out and drive home, happy by everything at the moment.
I park in the driveway and walk in, happy, until I see a white Honda in the drive way. I walk in and see Midoriko sitting on the couch with mom and last night rushes back to me. Oh yeah, savior of the world. How could I forget that.
I shut the door and they look at me. They both smile and mom hugs me and says, "Honey, Midoriko wants to talk to you so, have fun with that." She walks away. I walk over beside Midoriko and set my bag by my feet. She smiles at me.
"I can tell you had a good day." I smile despite myself.
"Yeah, I did."
"That's good. I won't ruin your mood so I will try to keep things simple and basic. Here is a book about the Shikon no Tama, here's a book about herbs and such you should know, and here's a book on all things priestesses should know how to do, most of which you should be able to do without my help. I would hope for you to look over these and practice. I will be back tomorrow. Call if you have any questions or such." And with that, she walks out. I hear her car drive away. Um, okay?...
I walk upstairs and set my books and bag on the beanbag chair. I sigh as I flop onto the bed. That was really weird… First she tells me how I'm supposed to save the world, then she gives me books and walks out. I rub my temples and sigh. Whatever…
*Inuyasha P.O.V.*
"Please, please, please, please, PLEASE!" Rin begs Sesshomaru at dinner, over and over and over again. I slam my hand down.
"Sesshomaru, just say yes for Kami's sake! She's driving me insane!"
Sesshomaru looks from me to Rin and sighs. "Fine." Rin squeals and jumps up.
"YAY! I have to text everyone about the party!" She runs upstairs to her room. I try to not think about who she's texting but already know Kagome is one of them and I try to keep the smile off of my face.
*Kagome P.O.V.*
I just came upstairs from dinner when my phone goes off. I grab it and see it's a text from Rin, talking about a party at her and Inuyasha's place this weekend, Saturday. I text back: Okay, but I need an outfit.
Rin texts back: Me and Sango will talk to you about details and such for getting ready and for party stuff.
Okay, sounds good.
I throw my phone on my space beside me and sigh. I hop up and check my bag for homework, seeing none; I hop in the shower, thinking about the party.
I finish brushing my newly blow dried hair as I stand up from my vanity. I go to my mom's room and see her already asleep. I smile and walk back to my room. I look at the time and see that it's 9:05. I look at the books and walk towards the bean bag chair and grab the Shikon no Tama book and lay on the bed, propped up by the billions of pillows. I open it and a letter falls out. I grab it and read it:
Dear Kagome,
I know you were not ready to know about your destiny as the Shikon no Tama priestess. I also know that it's a lot of responsibility. But, I am here for you and I am here to train you and help you get ready to help save the world when that time comes. Hopefully, it won't be anytime soon. So, for now, you are just a priestess. If the wrong person were to find out that you are the Shikon no Tama priestess, they would harm you to get what you have. I know you may not think you have anything, but inside, you have a power that can either help the world, or plunge it into an evil darkness, depending on who holds it. You are keeping the jewel, that's the power, pure. It is the Shikon no Tama Jewel, the Jewel of the Four Souls. You have been chosen to uphold it and keep it pure and out of harm's way. I will explain more in time. Just know that you are special and must be careful.
Love,
Midoriko
Wow…. Talk about a lot to take in. I reread the letter, thinking of its meaning and then set it inside the book and put it back on the bean bag chair.
I lie back in bed and close my eyes, warding off the thoughts of having to save the world or by accidentally sending it to its doom. So much for my only worry being a mean girl at school or not being able to find a prom date. I try to think about this weekend's party and the date I will most likely have that's strong, tan, and has blue eyes that sparkle like diamonds. I smile.
