Chapter 4: Commencing Phase 1 Part 1
"Oh my gosh, I LOVE that idea!" Ayame cheered.
"I'm so excited, when to we start?!" Sango asked as eagerly as a kid would over a trip to Disney world.
"Well, I was hoping after school tomorrow, but if that's too-"
"No!" Sango and Ayame squealed in unity.
"That's perfect! You can come to my house at 3! Kohaku wants to see Sota anyways." Sango said.
"And I can just leave the runt to them so I don't have to babysit!" Ayame said, referring to her adoptive brother.
"Perfect! Then it's settled. We're meeting at Sango's after school. Any ways, we should rest up. We've got a long day tomorrow." Kagome said.
"Plus more irritating boys." Ayame groaned.
"Don't say that!" Kagome and Sango shouted, successfully scaring Ayame off the phone. "G'night" They said and hung up.
Next day…
Kagome was walking to the corner of the block were all three girls meet before heading to school, but they weren't there.
"Damn it." Kagome said. She hated walking to school alone because that meant there was more of a chance that the boys would catch up to her annoy her.
They had a rule that, unless the boys had gotten there before, if someone was five minutes late to get to 'the spot' then the others would move on ahead. 'Guess that's the case today.' Kagome sighed.
"What's got you up in a knot?" A husky voice asked from behind Kagome.
"Aaaand I'm leaving without them." Kagome said and began to walk away from Inuyasha.
"Hey, hold on a sec!" He said and easily caught up to her. Kagome sighed.
"Look, dog breath, I'm in too good a mood to have your snarky attitude ruin it for me." Kagome said, hoping he'd leave her alone. Wishful thinking on her part.
"Aaand what's in spirit of this 'Good mood'?" He asked.
"Like I'd tell you. You'd just find a way to ruin it for me." She told him, again trying to get him to end the subject.
"Okay, can you give me a hint?" He asked.
"Nope." She said, refusing to give away the source of her quickly depleting good mood.
"Hm. Well if you're not gonna tell me, then I'll have to get it from somewhere else." He said.
"Heh, good luck, fluffy ears." Kagome laughed. "The only other two people who know are Sango and Ayame." She said.
"So, they have something to do with it." He deduced. Kagome just sighed again.
"And where in hell did you get that idea?" She asked, officially starting to get annoyed.
"Well, I doubt you'd tell them with the risk of them telling me unless they had something to do with it." He explained.
"… You know, you're really getting on my nerves." She said.
"Well, at least you're good mood is gone." He said, smirking in victory. A vain pulsed on Kagomes head.
"You just can't go one minute without pissing me off, can you?" She snapped. "Or are just naturally an asshole?" Inuyasha growled.
"Bitch."
"Oh, well if I'm a bitch then that must make you a bastard!" She noted cheerfully. "But, If I am a bitch, then wouldn't that be offensive to dogs everywhere, including you?" She asked, then smiled and skipped ahead of him, her good mood back.
"Feeble woman." Inuyasha grumbled and continued walking to school.
With Sango and Ayame…
"Damn it, we just missed her!" Ayame cursed after she was done sniffing around.
"Did she arrive early?" Sango asked.
"No, by the smell of it she was on time, but mister Inu-jackass-ears had to show up and follow her, probably to piss her off.
"Wait, if Inuyasha was here, then that means…" A look of horror crossed their faces.
"Let's get out of here before-"
"Before what, Ananya?" Koga asked.
"Shit." Sango muttered.
"How. Many times. Do I have to say this. Before. It gets in your thick. Head? It's. AYAME!" She shouted and pounced the wolf demon. The two rolled around on the ground, attacking each other and not even Sango could break it up.
"Damn it, Ayame! We have to go!" Sango shouted over the twosomes brawl.
"Oh, surely you don't have to leave now, Sango dear?" Miroku said, reaching for her bum.
"Touch me Miroku and I swear to god I'll-" Too late.
*SMACK*
Sango had finaly gotten Ayame into her grip and began to drag her away from Koga and the bleeding Miroku.
"Damn, that girl's got some fight in her. I'll have to fight her for real some time." Koga said, wiping his bruising cheek.
"Oh, Sango never loses her fire." Miroku sighed.
"You're hopeless." Koga remarked. "C'mon, let's catch up to Inuyasha." Miroku only nodded happily and floated alongside Koga.
Later, at lunch…
"I swear, I'll kill that lecher some day." Sango growled.
"I wanna fight Koga in a real fight some day." Ayame smirked, cracking her knuckles.
"I miss being able to sit Inuyasha." Kagome sighed.
"Then why don't you put the beads around his neck again?" Sango asked.
"'Cause he'll never let me get near him with those again." Kagome explained.
"Then why don't you do it the way lady Keade demonstrates when you're in classes with her?" Ayame asked.
"I'm not that good a priestess yet." Kagome sweat dropped.
"Not that good a priestess for what?" Naraku asked, sitting next to Kagome, earning glares from Sango and Ayame.
"Oh, we're just talking about the subjugation beads that I once put around Inuyashas neck." Kagome summarized simply.
"Oh, I remember that. His face was creating craters all over school that year." Naraku almost laughed at the memory.
"Ha! Yeah that was fun." Kagome said, faking her enjoyment of being with Naraku and driving down memory lane.
"So, anyway, you doing anything after school Kags?" Naraku asked, almost making Sango and Ayame choke at the use of their nick name for her.
"Oh, um, actually, yeah. Me and the girls are having a girls night out, you know how it is." Kagome explained. She wasn't technically lying. More of bending the truth a little. I mean, It was a night with the girls, just not your ordinary night out.
"Oh, well, how 'bout the night after that?" He asked.
"um…" She looked to the girls. She could read their eyes. 'This can't be too inconspicuous.' Sango's said. 'Say yes for now!' Ayame's seemed to scream.
"Sure! Why not?" Kagome said, cheerfully. It wasn't too convincing but Naraku bought it.
"Great, wear something nice and I'll pick you up at eight." He said and they continued to talk about random stuff as they ate.
Boys table…
"Inuyasha, seriously, stop growling, you're gonna attract attention to yourself." Koga said, taking a bite out of his sandwich.
"I still don't understand how she can smile like that! Honestly, what is with her?" Inuyasha continued to glare at Naraku.
"If you keep glaring like that, not only your face get stuck like that but people will start to think you've got a thing for Kagome." Miroku told him, taking a gulp of his milk.
"What?! What's that supposed to mean?!" Inuyasha snapped, disbelieving what he'd just heard come from his friends mouth.
"Geez, no need to bark Inu, we're just trying to help." Koga sighed.
"I do not like Kagome, not in the slightest." He grumbled.
"Try telling the school that when the rumors spread." Miroku deadpanned. Inuyasha huffed in defeat.
"Whatever." He grumbled and continued to eat his ramen.
After school with the girls…
"Oh… I'm exhausted." Sango complained, rolling her shoulder.
"I wish we didn't have any homework, cause then we could get right on to start Phase one of the plan." Ayame moaned.
"I wish we didn't have homework, period." Kagome sighed.
"Well, we do, so might as well get over it. You're bringing Sota over, right?" Sango asked.
"Yep." Kagome answered.
"And I'm bringing the runt." Ayame said before Sango could ask.
"Might as well just bring them over then have a homework session at my place before we get started." Sango groaned.
"Alright, see ya in a bit." Kagome said and turned in the opposite direction of the girls.
"See ya." They yawned and went their separate ways. What the girls weren't aware of, though, was that a certain hanyou was listening in not too far away.
"So they are planning something… but what?" Inuyasha asked himself before jumping home to think it over.
Once Kagome got home, she called out to her brother. "Sota! Come here for a sec!" She said. Her little brother soon came racing down the stairs.
"Yeah? What is it sis?" Sota asked.
"Pack a bag, you're going to Kohakus tonight." Kagome told him a she kicked off her shoes. Sota got this light in his eye.
"Really!?" He asked.
"Really. Now go on, we're leaving soon." She said as she shook her bag from her shoulders. Sota nodded and raced up the stairs to his room. Kagome shook her head before heading upstairs herself to pack a bag.
15 minutes later…
"Sota! You ready to go!?" Kagome asked from the doorway.
"Yeah, I'm coming!" He yelled back and was soon bounding down the stairs and raced out the door, Kagome following close behind. She closed the door behind her and raced her brother to Sango's house.
It wasn't long before they were standing at the front door, out of breath. Kagome rang the doorbell and you could hear rustling inside, maybe even fighting.
When the door finally swung open, Sango and Kohaku were smiling kindly, as if nothing had happened.
"Kohaku!" Sota cried.
"Sota!" Kohaku retaliated. The girls laughed as they hugged very un-guyishly.
"Anyway, c'mon in, Ayame and Shippo are already here." Sango said, stepping aside to allow us passage.
"Shippo's here too?!" Sota asked.
"Yup! C'mon, let's all go play a video game." Kohaku said, running back into his house with Sota right behind him.
"This was really a great idea." Kagome said, admiring the fun her brother was having.
"Don't say that that yet, not until you see what Ayame and I have planned for you." Sango said, leading Kagome into the house.
"Well, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it." Kagome said closing the door behind her.
"Yeah, alright. Well, we should get cracking on that homework if we want to cross the bridge tonight." Sango said, walking into the living room and sitting down next to Ayame.
"No kidding, I think we should start with algebra." Ayame said, noting that it was the most homework any of them had.
"Alright, let's get to it." Kagome said, whipping out her pencil and they all started to do their homework.
When they finally finished an hour and a half later they plopped down on the couch to recuperate before heading out side to the training ground.
"So… where do start?" Kagome asked, looking around.
"Well, we're starting with hand to hand." Sango said. "And I'll be showing you how a slayer does it." She said. "But first, show me what you got." She said and got into a fighting stance. Kagome smirked.
"With pleasure." She said simply and also got into a fighting stance.
"…Ready?" They both said and ran at each other.
