I'm baaaack! *fans start throwing chairs* Alright, alright! I know that I haven't updated in about three days, but yesterday I think that something was wrong with the website; for some reason I couldn't access ANYTHING, so I couldn't update. Also, I was diagnosed with minor writer's block. Together we can find a cure. Anywho, let's get it on!
And I DIDN'T mean it like that. Eww.
Something New, Something Better Chapter 7: Hojo
Disclaimer: I don't own Inu Yasha or any of the songs that I use. If I did, I would have a million people worshipping the ground I walk on.
.x.X.x.X.x.X.x.
I don't know what's with guys and girls singing, but I just found out (the hard way) that it turns them into disgustingly horny pigs.
Oh. Now I understand why Kikyou wants to sing well.
As I made my way over to my friends, I had a lot of guys starting to rub up on me. Inu Yasha decided to become my bodyguard (I hope he knows that I don't intend on paying him) and slaps their asses off of me, as well as glare and growl to any male that got within a 10-foot range of me.
It was a pretty small courtyard.
Speaking of Inu Yasha, he is so…weird. First he sniffs me, I slap him, we spend all of first period arguing, he calls me heavy, he completely insults me and my dead father's name, flirts with me 45 minutes later, we make up, and now he's acting like an overprotective boyfriend.
I swear, that boy has more mood swings than an unstable pregnant lady.
"Woah Kagome! Who knew you could sing like that?" Kouga and Miroku asked, stunned.
"I did!" Inu Yasha, Rin, Ayame, and Sango replied proudly.
"Aw, I'm not that great," I modestly answer, blushing slightly while I catch Inu Yasha staring at me in a daze.
"Uh oh, I think we lost him, girls," Rin giggled.
"Maybe Kagome should give him mouth-to-mouth," Ayame joined in.
They kept on pushing me towards him as I notice a stick in my path, only after it was too late. I tripped over the stupid stick, knocked over a still-dazed Inu Yasha-with me going down with him-and you'll never guess what happened next.
I found out where my lips happened to land.
Right on his cheek. (*fans start throwing tables and other things that will hurt in the morning* Sorry, people! It's just not the right time, you know?)
I got up faster than the speed of light and helped Inu Yasha up. His eyes were wide and I'm pretty sure he felt my kiss on his cheek, even in his dazed state.
"Will somebody please tell me what just happened?" Inu Yasha asked with his hand on his cheek.
"Um…hey look! A bird!" I tried to distract them.
"WHERE?" Miroku yelled, looking around to try to spot the imaginary bird. Everyone looked over at him with crazed looks on their faces.
"Stupid, there IS no bird; that was just Kagome's lame excuse to try to distract us. But It's not gonna work," Sango pronounced triumphantly with a smile on her face as I successfully make my escape.
Miroku, I owe you big time.
.x.X.x.
I'm wandering down the halls of our high school aimlessly, trying to sort out my thoughts about the kiss…ON THE CHEEK!
What where my friends thinking? What did they think was going to happen? What was Inu Yasha thinking about? How do I feel about the kiss? How does HE feel? Why do I suddenly have a headache?
I hear a pair of faint footsteps as I walk down the hall. I turn to see none other than the Big Cheese himself, Inu Yasha.
"Hey," He said with a small smile.
"H-hello," I stuttered, cursing myself for doing so.
"So what happened back there?" He asked.
"It was absolutely nothing!" I squeaked.
"Oh really?" His small smile turned into a mischievous smirk. "Because I think it was something."
"How would you know?" I retorted. "You were too busy staring at me to realize what was going on."
"Oh, now I've figured it out!" He exclaimed. "You just wanted me for yourself; so you kissed my cheek when I wasn't looking. Clever."
"Stupid, everyone else was looking and would've told you what I had just done."
"Wench."
"Jackass."
"Goody-two-shoes."
"Bipolar assface."
"…Bitch."
"You did NOT just call me a bitch!"
"I think I did."
"I'M GOING HOME." And with that, I stormed off, never to see him again…for the rest of the day.
.x.X.x.
I felt so much better the next morning.
Since I felt so much better, I decided to where leggings with a casual gray dress and chesnut-colored Uggs.
As I walked into communications, the first thing I notice is Inu Yasha's eye-roll at me when I suddenly notice Kikyo blabbering about something-or-other. I laugh and take the other seat next to him and the seat I assumed Sango was saving for me, since it was next to her, too.
As soon as I sit down, I see a familiar boy walk into the room and stand in the middle of it. Just as he does this, I visually pale. Just after the pledge and announcements, the teacher asks him to introduce himself and say one fact about him. I just decide to take a sip of my coffee right when he speaks.
"My name is Hojou Takizuma and I'm Kagome's boyfriend!" He says as he does a little finger-wave at me.
I hold up my finger as if to say "one sec" and get up off of my seat. I walk over to Kikyou's seat and spit out my coffee all over her. Her reaction was not a pleasant one.
Cause what he just said was complete bullshit.
"What?" Inu Yasha and I screamed in unison while Kikyou just screamed.
"Dear Kagome! I have followed you all the way here just to be with you once more!" Hojou proclaimed as he knelt down in front of me and took my hands in his. It would've gone better if Inu Yasha hadn't completely pushed him over.
"I'm sorry Prince Charming, but that kinda sounds like you're a stalker." Inu Yasha muttered while the whole class erupted in guffaws (yeah, I said guffaws cause I'm just that cool).
"A stalker or not, I totally approve!" Kikyou mused as if anyone cared. "As long as that witch leaves my poor Inu-baby alone, I'm all for it!"
"I'm not your poor anything!" Inuyasha exclaimed.
"So what's going on?"
"Oh a love square; how steamy," was a conversation going on between two students.
"1) Nothing is steamy. 2) It's not a love square. If it was anything, it would be a love triangle; Kikyou doesn't even count." I managed to say without getting cut off by Kikyou's excessive whining.
"Well, Inu Yasha, I guess this makes us friends?" Hojou asked as everyone else in the room questioned his sanity, most of all Inu Yasha and I.
"…No. I don't even know why you think that!" Inu Yasha says carefully.
We argue for the rest of the class with everyone else questioning if we will ever have a real class (which we probably won't).
.x.X.x.
You know what stinks?
Finding out that your stalker has the same classes as you (a coincidence? I think not) and having to put up with his excessive jabbering every single period.
Well, actually, you wouldn't know how that would stink as much as I do.
Gym was fun; I saw the least amount of him and we played softball again and had three home runs. You want to know about how I do it? What my motivation is? I pretend that the ball was Hojou's face.
Geometry was also not that bad on account that we sit in alphabetical order for last names.
World History was pretty bad since I already had Inu Yasha and the mentally-unstable pervert close to me; I didn't need to sit next to Inu Yasha and Hojou while one gives glares and the other gives friendly smiles.
Lunch was the usual + Hojou; I was eating and chatting with my friends while Hojou followed me around like a lost puppy and Inu Yasha sent him more glares to which he ignored.
Ceramics was the time of day where Sango would throw clay at me behind the teacher's back and where I would dodge it, though I was very tempted to throw clay at Hojou if he kept on staring at me.
French Honors was most definitely the worst; not just because it's the most boring class. It was bad enough having Kouga staring at me during the whole class, now I have two love-struck idiots making googily-eyes at me while the teacher goes on and on about how to conjugate the verb aller or some shit like that.
Biology was now lacking my much-needed girl time now that Hojou won't leave me alone. We would gossip about something-or-other and he would jump in like it was nothing.
After school I go straight home to work on a song I was just thinking of.
I got out my guitar and started to play some lyrics on my balcony
I got a lot to say to you
Yeah, I got a lot to say
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
Keeping them here
And it makes no sense at all
They taped over your mouth Crush Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
Crush
Crush
Crush, crush
(Two, three, four!)
Just the one, two I was just counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
"So this is what you do in your spare time." I hear a male voice shout as I inwardly groan. I wish people would just leave me alone. I look down to see Inu Yasha.
"Inu Yasha!" I called down to him. "To what do I owe you the pleasure? In fact, how do you even know where I live?"
"I was in the neighborhood when I heard you singing." He replied. "You're really good. You know, our band was looking for a good pair of female vocals. You'd do perfectly. So waddya say?"
I grinned. "That sounds good to me. Now go away; I haven't been alone all day." (I still got it!)
He laughed as he walked down the street, throwing a hand over his shoulder in a careless goodbye.
I sat back down on my balcony chair with a small smile on my face. It still showed on my face as I played a couple of more lyrics that seemed perfect:
Let's be more than this
.x.X.x.X.x.X.x.
So how was that? I didn't think it was too bad. I mean, it could have been worse, right?
…Right?
That's what I thought.
Anyway, I really need your help. I wanted to try to keep Inu Yasha's thoughts a mystery and so it would be like you were actually living Kagome's life, but now I'm not too sure. If you want me to do an Inu POV, then pleeze tell me in a review. Like I say, read and review! Or else!
…Seriously! Do it! NOW!
…
*Ja Ne!*
