Disclaimer: Gosh I don't own Inuyasha so get over it!
Chapter Seven: Wager
It had been one month since Kagome had come to Taisho Academe disguised as Katashi Higurashi. At first unwilling and stubborn Kagome refused to be one of the guys. Participating in no sport and often locking herself in the room she had been generously given. Now one month later it felt as if she had been one of those pig-headed animals for years. Her best friend of course was Inuyasha, but she had grown quite accustomed to her friend's men as well. Miroku a pervert trying to hit on whatever woman ran by. Shippo insecure and unwilling to talk about what's bothering him. Kouga's pride getting the best of him and then later biting him in the ass. Sesshomaru's inability to take a joke, having a stick shoved so far up there it looks as if a smile might just kill him. Akitoki having an identity crisis; the whole down side to having an exact replica of you roaming around. Hojo fighting to gain independence and learning how to just say the word no. Kohaku way too obsessed with school work and being perfect he doesn't know the true meaning of fun. And finally Naraku who was just a total rapist jackass. Inuyasha of course had some flaws he needed to learn how to deal with, his explosive temper and sarcastic attitude, but nothing that couldn't be fixed in good time. Kagome was ready and willing to help her new found friends, and they trusted her enough now to let her inside their semi-private lives. Being disguised as a guy helped, but what would happen when the jig was up and she had to go back to being her?
"Hey, Katashi!" Inuyasha calls from the living room. "You left your cell phone on top of the fridge again."
"Shit!" Kagome swears feeling a hint of fear tingle her spine. What if Sango was calling to check up on progress.
"Some girl on the phone asking for you. Kat, do you have a girlfriend?" Inuyasha snickers holding the phone up to his bedroom door.
"Give me that! You're such an ass sometimes, Yasha." Kagome growls opening the bedroom door sticking her hand out of the crack.
"Couldn't help myself. Don't be a hater, man." Inuyasha chuckles passing the mobile phone to an angered Katashi.
"Do I ask about you and Kinky-ho? No, I didn't think so. Leave me alone so I can have a moment to myself." Kagome hisses slamming the door in the wide-eyed teens face.
"Come on, Katashi don't be a jerk. And what the hell was that about Kinky-ho?" Inuyasha frowns banging on the barrier Katashi has put up between them.
"A new nickname I've come up with for your girl. You might considering getting a new one." Kagome laughs back pressed up against the barrier as she slides down to the floor.
"Whatever man. I'll be over at the twins dorm call me when your finished talking to that girl, okay?" Inuyasha grumbles slipping out of the dorm room frown taking place of his once exuberant smile.
"Later, pain in the ass." Kagome sighs now flopping down on the comforter.
Falling back onto the bedspread Kagome lets off a huge sigh. Then picking the phone up off her chest, she presses the receiver to her ear. Sango's laughter filling her ears Kagome just roles her eyes as she awaits the grief she is sure to receive. Finally finished with her fit Sango calms her voice and speaks of a more serious issue with Kagome.
"Done now?" Kagome questions gritting her clenched teeth out of frustration.
"Sorry, Kags. That was way too funny." Sango breathes breath still missing from the fit of laughter.
"I'm glad my frustration amuses you." Kagome retorts in the most sarcastic tone she can muster up.
"You sound like Inuyasha on a bad day." Sango giggles thinking of his dark eyes and pissy expression.
"Yeah I know. The guy's rubbing off on me, so what can I say." Kagome replies remembering the run in she had with him the day Kouga ruined his favorite shirt.
"You like him don't you, Kags." Sango says in a melodic sort of way.
"No way!!" Kagome yells trying to hide the blush Sango obviously couldn't see through the mobile.
"Yes you do! Kagome Higurashi you like Inuyasha Taisho!" Sango exclaims jumping off the bed in her dorm.
"So what he's really sweet." Kagome sighs her blush growing bigger and bigger.
"Don't forget to mention hunky." Sango adds thinking of her new best friend falling completely head over heels with her roommate.
"Yeah, but he's Kikyou's man. I don't stand a chance with someone that perfect." Kagome whispers her once precious smile beaten into oblivion.
"Don't you mean Kinky-ho? Kags, you deserve Inuyasha not Kikyou. She's a controlling bitch who knows you stand in her way. You should have seen her face when she found out that you and Inuyasha were sharing a room." Sango chuckles thinking back to a seething Kikyou.
"Was she really jealous?" Kagome wonders wishing she could have been there to see her face.
"Oh yeah she was. And when she heard about the new nickname you gave him she flipped her lid. Holy crap he wouldn't let her call him Inu because he like Yasha better." Sango grins hearing a tiny gasp escape Kagome's mouth.
"Oh my gosh. This is bad though as happy as I am. Kikyou is going to slice me up into little bits never to see the light of day again." Kagome whines holding back a fearful and ecstatic scream.
"I won't let her get you. You have other problems though, Kags." Sango sighs shaking her head back and forth slightly.
"Problems like what?" Kagome wonders thinking Kikyou was her only problem.
"What are you going to do at the end of the three months? What if Inuyasha hates you for lying to him?" Sango asks holding her breath.
"Hate me?" Kagome whimpers throwing her arm across her eyes.
"Oh Kagome. Gosh if only this was easier. I don't think he'll hate you. Scratch that he will defiantly not hate you, just be disappointed. Remember you can always blame us if he looks like he is going to pop." Sango reinsures her hoping her nerves might have calmed down.
"It is kind of your fault." Kagome giggles thinking back to the first day she became Katashi.
"That a girl, Kagome! Everything will be okay." Sango smiles listening to the sound of Kagome's laughter.
"Yeah. Sango, I really miss our girl's days out at Magic. Think we could hook up sometime in secret and go?" Kagome questions a glint of hope in her voice.
"How about next month. To celebrate you nearly accomplished win." Sango replies hearing an excited squeal from Kagome.
"Great! I am so looking forward to being a girl again." Kagome responds with glee.
"Great. Hey Kagome I got to get going the girls are coming over in a few minutes. I'll talk to you in a few days, okay?" Sango asks getting ready to hang-up.
"Alright. Later Sango." Kagome says preparing to hit the red button disconnecting the call.
"Oh Kagome! There's something you need to do for us." Sango exclaims just before the button is pushed.
"Sure what do you need?" Kagome questions placing the receiver back on her ear.
"Incriminating evidence. Can you get into the guys dorms?" Sango wonders a devilish grin appearing on her face.
"Consider it done. I'll get you what you need." Kagome ensured by her newfound confidence.
"Great. And Kagome?" Sango giggles just before she hangs up.
"Yeah?" Kagome asks raising and eyebrow.
"Don't forget your phone on top on the fridge anymore." Sango laughs hearing Kagome grunt impatiently.
"Yes, mother. Later Sango." Kagome sighs hanging up.
Getting up and dressed into guy's attire Kagome heads out of her bedroom. There slipped under the dorm's door is a note from Inuyasha. Picking it up she reads the messy manuscript written by her roommate.
Katashi,
I don't know if you're still pissed at me for earlier, but I thought that maybe you'd like to come hang with me and the guys. We're going to throw the pigskin around for a while and were wondering if you were game. Hope you can make it. If you can't I better see you in Sesshomaru's dorm for a little foosball.
Your pain in the ass roommate
Inuyasha
Laughing at the last part, Kagome slips the note into the back pocket of her jeans. Football sounded like fun if she didn't break a limb due to Kouga's giant shoulder. The last time she had attempted to play Inuyasha had had to pop it back into joint while the twins restrained her. Oh what a joy that was! Foosball was more her game. Inuyasha was a sore looser as well as all the other guys. Her father, before he passed away, had always played with her for hours in their basement. Good ole dad could always make a smile appear on her bright features. Walking out of the dorm and heading to go and search the guys for evidence she hears loud crashing footsteps behind her. Suddenly in a headlock, tan arms wrapped securely around her throat, she hears Kouga's thick breath. Elbowing him in the gut she whips around to face Sesshomaru's cringing roommate. What a pain he was!
"What do you want now, Kouga?" Kagome growls looking to his dismayed features. She had gotten stronger since hanging with the ruffians.
"Yasha told me you were pissy." Kouga gasps doubled over. What a pansy.
"Yeah and your point is?" Kagome asks sarcasm written all over her face.
"I came to ask you why you weren't at the football field. Scared I'll pop your shoulder out again weakling?" Kouga teases finally back to his gloating old self.
"You're asking for it, Koko." Kagome warns making a fist with her right hand.
"What a big man, not. You're a funny one you know that, Kat. I'm starting to question if you really are a man or not. Maybe you're a woman disguised as one of us." Kouga laughs hypothetically of course.
"WHAT!!" Kagome shouts eyes seemingly catching on fire.
"Offensively taken I see. I have a wager for you, Kat. Prove to me you're a man." Kouga grins walking off.
"Come back here! What are you talking about?!" Kagome hisses nearly chasing after him.
"Meet me in my dorm in ten minutes. By then I'll have my wager ready and prove to the others that you're a pansy." Kouga chuckles throwing his head back.
Wager? What the hell is this guy going on about? Could he know I'm not really Katashi but Kagome? And what about Inuyasha? Gosh just when I though life was getting better!
What has Kouga got in store for Katashi? Find out in the next chapter of Endeavors of a Double Life. PLEASE REVIEW!!
