Hey! Just wanna say thanks to giving me over 1,000 views and for all of my fans out there. :) You guys are amazing! Alright, this is the chapter I've been waiting to do forever for reasons some of you know. ;) I'm going to have some special guests who aren't in the normal Inuyasha show. Hopefully they know who they are, at least for when they get in the story. Hope you guys like it! R&R please! Also, I'm sorry if it seemed short, I wasn't too thrilled with it but I like how it turned out. Hope you do too!
Also, I've been forgetting but: I don't own Inuyasha! :)
~Love at Shikon High~
~Party Time!: August 30th, Saturday
I open my eyes and roll over to look at the time. It says 8:00. I smile, thinking of my dream and sit up and stretch. I throw the covers off and walk to the vanity to brush my hair. I look at myself in the mirror. I'm wearing a black hello kitty tank top sleep shirt and long cotton pink hello kitty pants. I smile and grab my phone before making my ways downstairs. There's no one else down there so I figure I'm the only one awake and maybe the only one in the house.
I set my phone on the bar and grab a bowl, spoon, and the Marshmallow Fruit Loops. I pour some in the bowl. I grab the milk, pour some in the bowl, and put it back up. I sit down and eat some, checking my phone. I see 3 messages.
Sango: Party Day! :D Meet you at mine to drive to Rin's?
Rin: I'm so pumped! See you and Sango around 8?
Koga: Good morning lovely. Can't wait to see you later at the party. :) BTW, I have that 2,000 question notebook
I smack my forehead. I knew I forgot something. I text Sango and Rin saying yes and then text Koga.
(Koga, Kagome)
I knew I forgot something this week! Are you gonna give it back at the party or you wanna met up somewhere?
Are you suggesting we met up just to give you back the notebook or because you miss me? ;P
Bite me. And the answer is, yes.
What kinda answer is that?
My answer, duh. Now which one?
I don't care
Well, I might forget it or lose it at the party. So, let's meet up at the park say 10:30?
So you do miss me
Koga!
Okay, okay. I'll meet you there.
Great! :) Can't wait! And don't forget the notebook!
I won't :P
See ya in a bit!
Right back at ya babe :)
I smile and finish my cereal, trying to push away the butterflies in my stomach. Why do I even have butterflies? It's Koga. I see him every day. I roll my eyes at myself and put my bowl away in the sink. I check the time on my phone and see it says 9:15. I take my phone and go upstairs.
I look in the closet and grab something casual to wear until the party tonight. I grab my little jean shorts with neon pink and green splatter paint on them. I put on a bright green tank top and a neon pink crop top that says LOVE ME in black sparkle letters on the front. I grab my jean jacket and smile in the mirror. I put on my charm necklace and black hoops. I grab my phone and check the time, which says 9:45. I stick my phone in my shorts pocket and walk downstairs, surprised to see my mom weary eyed at the coffee machine.
"Hey mom." I say, standing by the bar, jacket in hand. She looks at me. I smile. Her hair is messy, her flannel blue pajamas with sheep on them are wrinkled, and she's wearing fuzzy blue slippers. That's my mom. She smiles back.
"Hey Kagome. Are you going out?" She asks, turning back to her coffee.
"Yep, I'm going to the park to meet a friend. Also, I might be out late tonight, just in case I don't see you when I get back." I walk around and give her a hug. She hugs me back then holds me at arm's length.
"I forget how old you've gotten." She sighs. "I might not be here when you get back, might go out with Midoriko. So just leave a note or text me or whatever." I smile at her.
"Okay mom. Bye!" I wave to her and walk out the house. I hope in the car and think about how against the move I was. I smile. Thanks Mom... You don't know what you've done, but it's pretty great…
I park in the parking spaces in front of the entrance to the pretty big park. I smile and hop out, grabbing my jacket. I walk in and head straight to the swings on the left side in a huge playground with red wood pieces in a big black oval thing. I get in the farthest on the side closest to the shelter area and walkway. I swing slowly, basking in the sun, letting the wind blow my hair. I smile and let a giggle escape. Before long, I'm giggling crazy and I'm glad no one else is there.
"What are you laughing at?" I hear a low voice say. I scream and open my eyes to see Koga standing in front of me. He's wearing a green Aeropostale shirt, jeans, and black vans. Not to mention a cocky smile. I frown.
"What the hell Koga?! You almost gave me a heart attack!" He's laughing at my shrieking. So I smile and swing myself in front of him and back then when I'm moving back to him I jump out of the swing.
He demons senses kick in, making him catch me with ease. My momentum makes him spin me around and then he stops and I have my legs wrapped around his waist in the front, and my arms around his neck. I'm giggling and he's laughing.
"Nice reflexes." I say.
"Good thing I do or else we'd both be on the ground." He rolls his eyes at me. I stick my tongue out. "What if I didn't catch you?"
"Please, you know you would have caught me." I smile. "Besides, isn't this position much better than the ground?" He burst out laughing and so do I.
"Yes it is." He says, whispering it in my ear. My face heats up and I put my forehead on his shoulder until the best of the blush goes away. I lift up my head and look at him.
"It's nice to see you too Koga." I hop down and stand in front of him. He smiles down at me.
"It's nice to see you too Kagome." I smile.
"Now, do you have the notebook?"
"Oh, I see; straight down to business." I roll my eyes at his comment. I walk back to the swing. I turn back to him.
"No, I just don't want to forget the whole reason why we are here in the first place." I sit down and pout at him. "Push me please?" He rolls his eyes again.
"You're so lazy." He walks over and gets behind me. I smile. He gives me a gentle push.
"But you love me anyway, don't ya Cuddly Wolfie-kins?" I giggle as he pushes me a little higher.
"Yeah, I do." I close my eyes to the wind and sun.
"Yeah, I know." He chuckles and I open my eyes. "Koga?"
"Yeah?"
"You do have the notebook, right?" He chuckles.
"Yes, Kags, I have the notebook in my car."
"You're not driving your motorcycle?" For some reason, this makes me sad.
"Nope, got my car today." He still pushes me but it's like he can see the frown on my face. "Why?" I shrug.
"No reason, just wondering." I think about the other things I've been worried about, which is a list to long to name. "Hey, who all do you think is coming to the party?" I ask, trying to keep my hair from getting into my mouth and eyes while holding on to the swing chains as Koga pushes me gently. I try to push away the tingles from his touch.
"I'm guessing the whole school." He chuckles. "Including your fan club."
"Hey, what about yours? I'm not afraid to beat some girls down, BTW. You're my date." I blush as soon as the words are out of my mouth.
"I haven't forgotten, if that's what you're worried about. And I already told you, if I wanted any of those girls, I wouldn't be with you all the time." I smile as his comment.
"Koga, you're so sweet. It's a wonder how you don't have a girlfriend." He chuckles again.
"I already told you, I just never found the right girl."
"Do you think she's out there?" I ask, a part of me hoping he says yes, for pretty obvious reasons. Next thing I know, I've stopped at the very back. I turn my head and see Koga's hand on the chain above mine, holding me there. I look on the other side and come face to face with Koga himself. His eyes, intense and caring, look into my own. I blush a little. "Um, Koga?" I'm suddenly uncertain if I should say anything. A part of me knows something could happen. But do I want it too? My heart is on over drive, my head swirling, my emotions so confused.
Koga smiles and backs up a little. A part of me doesn't like it; the other thinks its better that he did back away.
"Yeah, I think she's out there. Maybe closer than I think." He winks and pushes me again. I slow my beating heart and smile.
"How close we talking? Because, if I find out one of your fan girls is here, I'm going to be pretty mad." I say, making Koga chuckle and probably roll his eyes.
"Kags, you can be so dense sometimes." He says, so quietly, I feel as if I misheard him.
"I am not dense Koga." I sigh. "Sometimes I just go by what I see, not what I think I see." Koga doesn't push me when I swing back.
"That makes no sense." I laugh at his comment.
"It does to me so that's all that matters." He chuckles. "And it does make sense; you just gotta know what I'm talking about."
He gives me another push and I jump out. I turn to him. "Let's go." He grabs my jacket and joins me.
"Where are we going? And you can't change the subject." I sigh, hoping I actually could. I point to the swinging bench in between 2 blossomed cherry trees.
"Over there. That way we can both swing." I say, smiling and practically skipping over there. I grab Koga's hand. "Come on slow poke!" He chuckles.
"Okay, okay! Calm down!" I giggle at him and slow down so I can look up at him as we walk on the concrete trail to the swinging bench. I let go of his hand and plop down in it. He sits down beside me.
"This seat is so not comfortable this way." I complain. Koga chuckles and gently pushes us with his feet. I lean against him and cross one leg under the other so it swings above the ground. Koga lays his arm over my shoulders and I drape my jacket over my legs. I smile up at him. "That's better." He laughs making his chest rumbling against my side. I lay my head on his shoulder and close my eyes to the sun that shines through the branches and the wind that makes the blossom leaves fall down.
"Kags?" He asks.
"Yes?" I say, eyes still closed.
"Do you really think I like Ayame?" I freeze and I know he feels it. "I don't like her, at all."
"Have you ever?" I answer with a question. I expect him to ignore it but he doesn't.
"No. Are you that jealous of her?" I wanna lie. A part of me says I should but another part of me says tell the truth. I go with the lie; I can't lose him when I don't even fully have him yet. I open my eyes so I can look at him.
"Jealous of her? Please." I scoff and he smiles. "I have better friends, better clothes, and I have you." I kiss his cheek. "Why? Should I be jealous?" He rolls his eyes.
"Kags, you already know you shouldn't." He looks down into my eyes again. "Should I be jealous of Hojo?" I smile.
"Hmm… I don't know…" I see his frown. "I'm just kidding! Of course you shouldn't. We broke up a while back and me and you aren't even dating yet." He smiles big.
"I see you said, not yet." I blush a little and he laughs. "And you are right." I blush a little more and suddenly, it's not Koga my best friend, its Koga, potential boyfriend. I clear my throat.
"Yeah, well you never know what the future holds." I say. I notice how we are still close.
"Are ya'll gonna kiss?" I jump at the voice. I look in front of the bench to see 3 girls around 14 years old watching us intently. I blush.
"Well not anymore." Koga says, smiling. I blush even more. The girls giggle, looking at Koga admirably. I frown, sending my blush away. They must've seen my frown because they scamper off. I sigh and lean my head back on Koga's shoulder. "You're so mean." I scoff at his comment.
"I'm so mean?!" I ask incredulously, sitting up so I can look at him. He's smiling so I know he's kidding. "If you're about to kiss me, doesn't that mean we are kinda together and that they shouldn't be making any moves on you? And that's just gonna happen again tonight." I say with a sigh. Then I perk up and smile big at him. "So you wanted to kiss me, huh?" He laughs.
"Okay, first: girls will not be messing with me if I'm with you. Second: what about the guys who will be all over you? Third: maybe I wanted too, maybe I didn't." He smiles. I frown.
"They better not. What guys? And no fair." I pout at the last part.
"They won't. Don't pretend you don't know. You're fan club missy. And did you want me too?" He smirk-smiles and I blush slightly but roll my eyes.
"I have no fan club. And maybe I did, maybe I didn't." I wink and he groans.
"No fair." I giggle.
"Not so much fun when it's you, huh?" He frowns and I kiss his cheek and get close to his ear. "The answer is…yes." I back up so I can see his face. And when I do, I laugh at his excited, super happy expression. "Or, maybe it was no." He frowns and I laugh again.
"You're so mean." I pout at his comment. Then smile. I kiss his cheek.
"Am I?" I ask, looking into his eyes. He seems to say yes so I pout again. He sighs.
"No." I smile big and hug him tight. He chuckles and hugs me back. I back up a little, his arms still around me and mine around him.
"Now, you got the notebook and before I get distracted again, why don't you give it to me." I say. He rolls his eyes but nods. We stand up and he grabs my hand. I smile and we walk out of the park to his car. He opens the passenger door and closes it, turning to me with the notebook in hand.
I squeal and hug him. "Koga, you're the best! You did answer them, right?" I take the notebook and leaf through, happy to see that he had.
"Of course. If I didn't, you would have smacked me." I smirk at him and he smiles back. I smile and giggle.
"Whatever. I'll see you later. I gotta get home and be ready for tonight." I kiss his cheek and walk to my car. I open the door and turn to him. "Bye Koga!" He smiles.
"Bye Kagome! I'll see you later." He gets in his car and drives off. I wave until he's gone. I hop in my own car, smiling. I start it and listen to Blow Me One Last Kiss by PINK. Of course… I start singing along as I drive away from the park.
I brush my freshly blow dried hair and look at the time. It says 7:15. I'm close enough on time. I look in my closet and grab the outfit I had decided to wear to the party. It's a purple and blue dress with a sweetheart neckline, sparkly on top, with a sash across under my chest with a purple and blue flower in the middle. It tuffs out in different blues and purples and stops around my knees. I paired it with black pumps. I smile and go to the vanity to plug in my curling iron.
The rest of my morning and early afternoon had gone by pretty boring with mom shopping, Sota gone, and grandpa at the university. I smile as I remember my mourning with Koga and the little kids. My phone buzzes on the bed. I walk over and grab it. It's from Rin. It says: Ready for the party?! :D I laugh and text back: Yeah lolz. I'm soooo ready! :) Be there around 8:30, maybe. She texts back: Okay
I put my phone back on the bed and walk back to the vanity. I grab the curling iron and start on my hair. So close, yet so far…
I look in the mirror for probably the final time tonight. I'm wearing my dress and shoes with a silver sparkly clutch that holds my phone and lip gloss. I have on my shoes and some jewelry. I have on a rhinestone necklace with several layers and fringed rhinestone chains. I'm wearing my glitter heart ring and silver and black bangles on both arms. I'm wearing silvery chandelier earrings. I have on a purple heart anklet on my right ankle. I look at my hair curled in ringlets, hair sprayed into place for the night. I smile, my glossed lips parting to show my white teeth, my eye shadow glittering in the light, my eye liner and mascara not to dark and my foundation put on lightly, almost like it's not there. I take a deep breath and grab my faux leather moto jacket to wear in case it's cold.
I walk down stairs and check the clock on my phone. It says 8:05. I just walk into the living room when I hear the door bell. I walk up and answer it, surprised to see Sango. She's wearing a dark blue dress with a sweet heart neckline that hugs her up top then flows gently as it goes to her knees, tufting out a little. She has on black stiletto booties. Her hair is down and straight. She's wearing black hoops, black fringe necklace and black studded bracelet.
"Hey Kags. Ready to go?" She asks. I smile and nod my head. I shut the door and walk with her to her car which is parked in my driveway. "I'm so excited! Are you excited? I wonder who's all going. I bet everyone is. Did I tell you that Miroku asked me to be his date?" She says in a rush but I totally catch the last part.
"WHAT?! When? How? Why hadn't I been notified earlier?" I say as we hop into her car. She laughs.
"He asked me this morning by showing up at my door with flowers." She blushes.
"AWWWW!" I say as we drive away from my house. She blushes more and I laugh. "Sango, you gotta stop blushing. Ya'll are totes adorbs together! And you do know ya'll will be together, right?"
"Kags! It's just a party date." Her face is as red as a tomato.
"But you wish it was more." Her face turns redder and I laugh. "Okay, okay! I'm done. No more." She relaxes a little.
"Good."
"So, what's the surprise I couldn't know about?" I ask. She freezes.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I groan at her lame excuse.
"Come on! I will just find out sometime tonight." I whine. She smiles.
"Then why should I tell you." I sigh.
"Touché…" I smile despite myself and turn up her radio as we sing along to Good Time by Owl City and Carly Rae Jespen. We sing along to some more and we are in a total party mood by the time we get to Rin and Inuyasha's house. We park in their ginormous garage to go with their ginormous house.
We hop out a giggling fit. We walk in through the garage door into the house and walk down a hall way to find ourselves in a giant living room. Rin comes through a huge double doorway.
"There you guys are!" She says, smiling. She's wearing a red dress. It has a satin sash under the chest with a big bow on the side with diamonds in the middle. It tufts out with fluffy and it has flower designs and bedazzles on it that's the same length as ours, a little above the knee. Her hair is down and curled more loosely than mine. Her shoes are red wedges.
"Hey Rin! The place looks great." I say, looking around at the way she has everything set up, streamers and other little decorations everywhere, furniture set aside for dancing, kitchen set up as food/drink area. Rin smiles big at me.
"Thanks. I think so too." We all giggle. I walk into the kitchen and grab a cookie from the dessert area. Music starts blaring and I dance into the huge living room to see them dancing. On the far wall of the living room is a staircase that obviously leads up stairs. I take off my jacket and go to the closet beside the door to put up my jacket. I put it up and catch the one Sango throws to me and put it up as well. I close the door as the bell rings. Sango, Rin, and I squeal. I smooth my dress and hold my clutch as I open the door. I see Inuyasha and Miroku. I frown.
"Inuyasha! I thought it was somebody important." I say and I sigh as I let them in. He smirks.
"Sorry, I forgot my key." I roll my eyes at his excuse and close the door. Inuyasha is wearing a plain black shirt, dark jeans, and black converses. Miroku is wearing a dark blue button down shirt, khaki pants, and Speere's. I smile. His shirt matches Sango's dress. Miroku walks over to Rin and Sango. I walk to the kitchen and see Inuyasha getting some drink. I smile at him and grab another cookie. I take a bite and swallow.
"Thanks Inuyasha for helping me." He smirks at me.
"Keh. Just don't forget you owe me." I roll my eyes but keep smiling.
"I won't. I have a feeling you won't let me." I wink and walk back into the living room, unaware of how his eyes follow my every move.
*Inuyasha P.O.V.*
Kami, she looked amazing. Even when she was frowning at me. When she walked into the kitchen and smiled at me… I watch her walk away, the dress swishing slightly with how she walks. I knew I had to dance with her tonight. But when? And how?... I smile when I realize, I already got that figured out.
*Kagome P.O.V.*
Around 9:30 is when people start showing up. Most of them, I don't know. Sango and Rin know them so I let them in; actually, I let them all in but still. I open the door around 9:45, dancing and laughing, and see Koga, Hakkaku, and Ginta. I let them in and lead them to a far corner of the kitchen where I can talk to them easier.
"Hey." I say, smiling to them all, but mostly Koga. Koga's wearing a light blue shirt with a black vest, dark jeans, and black vans. Hakkaku is wearing a plain gray shirt, jeans, and gray Nike's. Ginta is wearing a pink shirt, dark jeans, and black and white checkered vans. "Ginta, where's your girlfriend?"
"She's not my girlfriend, not really anyway. And she was gonna meet me here." He says, nervous and uncomfortable it seems. I smile.
"It's okay, she'll be here. Ya'll can go ahead to the living room." I say, motioning through the doorway we had come in through. They go but Koga stays. I smile at him. "Hey Cuddly Wolfie-kins." He smiles back.
"Hey babe. You look beautiful." He says. I blush and wink.
"You don't look so bad yourself." He chuckles. Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind, & Fire with the Emotions starts playing and I squeal.
"Oh, I love this song! Let's dance!" I grab his hand and drag him into the living room in the circle with Sango, Rin, Miroku, Inuyasha, Ginta, and Hakkaku. We dance and sing along, laughing and just having fun. Friends and fun times; what every girl needs.
After a few songs, I take a break to go get a drink and hear the doorbell. I go to it and open it to see Kikyo and her posse. I stop laughing. Their dresses are so tight, it's like skin. It makes me wanna throw up.
"What the fuck do you want?" I ask, not happy to see her here. She sneers. I smile. "I believe your corner is back a few roads."
"This is my boyfriend's party; of course I'm going to be here you slut." She says, brushing past me along with her posse.
"Well then, please come inside." I say sarcasm in every word as I shut the door. I go to go back to my people when the doorbell rings again.
I open it to see 5 girls standing there, all around my age. The one in the front is smiling brightly. She has long pink hair that goes past her lower back in soft curls at the bottom. Her bangs are like mine. Her eyes are darker pink, slight freckles on her cheeks. She's wearing a strapless sweet heart neckline pink dress that is sparkly at top, and tulle layers at the bottom. Her shoes are open toed and black sparkly stiletto style. She has a black clutch in her hands, light make up. She's wearing a pink heart charm necklace, black mesh ring, black bangles, and black diamond hoops.
On her right side is a girl with bright green eyes. Her hair is short and jet black, barely going past her chin in a layered way. She's wearing a tight lime green dress with black fish net tights and black motorcycle boots with studs on the side. Her hands have on fingerless gloves. She wears only a black pendant necklace. Her skin is pale, but natural beauty kinda way.
On the pink one's left side is a girl with waist length jet black hair with midnight blue and silver tips. Her eyes are a mix of hazel, blue and green. She's tan with a beauty mark below her eye and a diamond on the right side of her nose. She's wearing an aqua sweet heart neckline dress with bedazzles on the front top line and it hugs her until the waist where is flares out in tulle and pretty spirals and ruffles. Same length as everyone else's; near the knee.
One of the one's in the back has long turquoise hair that stops at her ankle. Her eyes are silver with sky blue specks in them. She has 2 piercings on her left brow. She's slightly tan and is wearing a tight-ish black dress with black knee high boots with studs on the stiletto heel.
Latched onto her is the last girl. She has super short yet full black hair with a red hair band in it. Her lips are blood red and her dress is a tight black one with red pumps. Her eyes are red.
The pink one talks first. "Hi. I'm Sayuri Hananyo." She points to the green eyed one. "This is Zelda." She points to the one with midnight blue tips. "This is Kiehauna." She points the blue haired one. "This is Kagami and her girlfriend Yura." Yura is the short haired one with a red hand band. I smile. I think about her name and then smile big.
"Sayuri? Sayuri Hananyo? It's me! Kagome Higurashi!" I say. Her eyes widen.
"Kagome?! Oh my chocolate chip cookies!" She squeals and hugs me. I hug her back. Never did I expect to find my old best friend here of all places. She backs up. "I didn't expect to see you here!" I laugh.
"I didn't expect to see you here either. What are you doing here?" I ask, because I know I haven't seen her at school before.
"Hey, can I get inside? My legs are turning into fucking popsicles." Kagami says, a frown on her face. Sayuri turns to her.
"Kagami, be nice." She says. Kagami sighs but backs off. Sayuri smiles to me again. "Can we please come in?" I nod and let them all in, closing the door behind Kagami and Yura. I lead them into the quieter kitchen. I see Ginta and Koga standing by the drinks. Ginta looks over and smiles big. I wonder why until Sayuri squeals.
"GINTA!" She rushes over and jumps into his arms. Thank Kami he didn't have a drink in his hand. He hugs her back, lifting her up slightly. She giggles, it sweet and flirty. Ohh… Sayuri is Ginta's mystery girl. Sayuri stands on her feet then turns to us. "Guys, this is Ginta, the guy I told you about." I look at Ginta.
"Ginta, why didn't you tell me Sayuri was your mystery girl? She's my best friend from forever ago. She moved away and we lost touch for a while." I say. He looks surprised then smiles when Sayuri laughs.
"Well, I should say thank you Kagome. I hop you've been keeping an eye on him for me." She winks at Ginta who blushes slightly.
"I'm going to go dance because this love fest makes me wanna barf." Kagami says, taking Yura with her. Zelda and Kiehauna walk off after them. I look back to Sayuri and Ginta. They are talking, probably catching up. But I totally catch how close they are, physically and emotionally.
"Hey." I jump and turn to see Koga. I smile big.
"Hey. Can you believe Ginta's mystery girl happened to be my friend from long ago?" I still can't get over it. Then I think about the other girls, her friends. "Her friends seem nice." I look up at him. I hear Love Shack by B-52's. I grab onto Koga's arm. "Koga, please come dance with me." He smiles and nods. I hug him before dragging him into the living room which is alive with people dancing to an old classic. I smile and start dancing with Koga with all of our friends, including the new ones. We are halfway through the 11th song after that when I hear nails on a chalkboard like shriek.
"INUYASHA!"
I, along with everyone else, look up at Kikyo, who's at the top of the stairs, glaring down at Inuyasha and the girl he had been dancing with, Kiehauna. Oh shit…. Kikyo swoops down the stairs and everyone parts like the red sea. Kiehauna stands by Inuyasha. We all surround them. Somehow, the music was muted, pure silence fills the air.
"Can I help you?" Kiehauna asks, obviously not letting Kikyo get to her. I smile. I like her already. Kikyo stands in front of them, seething rage, her posse around her.
"That's my fucking boyfriend you slut." She practically spits at her. Kiehauna looks from Inuyasha to Kikyo.
"Is he dating you willingly?"
"Bitch, don't fuck with me and get the hell away from my boyfriend."
"I sure as hell don't wanna fuck you! I don't know where you been and I got a feeling you don't either."
Kikyo jumps at her but Kagami jumps at her, tackling her down, surprising everyone. She then stands up as if nothing happened. Kagami walks back to Yura when Kikyo sits up looking at her broken nail then at Kagami.
"You broke my nail you bitch!" She shrieks. Kagami looks at her.
"Best be glad that's all I broke you slut. And just for the record, that ain't my problem." Kagami shrugs as if Kikyo don't mean a thing to her, which is probably true.
"Do you know who you're talking too?"
"Nope and I don't care either." Kagami smirks. Sayuri steps in between them as a peace maker.
"Now, now. Let's not be hasty and fight. It's a party." She says, smiling. Kikyo stands up and sneers at her. "I'm sure we can all be here without killing each other."
"Well, if it isn't Miss Sunshine. Listen, you or your little friends get in my way or touch my boyfriend again, I'm beating you down." She looks at her outfit. "BTW, pink is so last season." Sayuri's face falls. Then she smiles a smile but it is anything but sweet.
"Somebody better hold my earrings because a bitch is going down!" She goes to take out her earrings and Zelda comes to her side.
"Sayuri! She ain't worth it! Put your earrings back in! She's just some stupid hoe. Don't let her ruin your night." Zelda is holding her back, trying to calm her down. Sayuri puts her hands to her sides and glares at Kikyo.
"Best be glad I still got my earrings in or you would be on the ground. Of course, you're probably used to that, aren't you?" Kikyo scowls and goes to go at her but Kagura holds her back. It seems everybody is going at it. This is not good. I get in between Kikyo and Sayuri.
"Come on you guys. Stop it now. You don't wanna be here, leave. Easy as that." Me and Kikyo stare down. She goes to say something but Inuyasha gets in my way. What?!
"Kikyo, stop now." He says. She seems surprised, her mouth opening and closing like a fish on a dock. So she decides to play like she's the victim. She latches onto Inuyasha.
"But, Inu-baby, she was all over you. You're my boyfriend." She goes to say more but what Inuyasha says silences her, along with many others.
"Not anymore."
Silence…except for the collective gasp from everyone. Kikyo looks at him in disbelief.
"What?" She asks, hoping he'll take it back. He pushes her away.
"We're done. I know you cheated on me. And now you're being a bitch to my friends. It's over." His voice feigns indifference. She flushes.
"That's not true. And I was only a bitch because they were bitches to me." Inuyasha rolls his eyes.
"Save it. Everyone knows it's true. And you've always been a bitch."
Kikyo doesn't even know what to say. I feel bad for her. Then she looks at me with pure hatred.
"You're dead." Her words, only 2, put more fear in me than anything ever before. Sayuri stands in front of me.
"You wanna go at Kagome; you gotta get through me first. And trust me, I may look like a kitten, but this kitten has claws." She says. Sango stands in front of me too.
"You'll have to go through me too." She cracks her knuckles. Zelda, Kiehauna, Kagami, Yura, and Rin join in.
"And me." They all say in unison. Kikyo looks scared but keeps my gaze.
"I'll get you Kagome Higurashi. Mark my words…" She stomps off, posse at her flanks. Kikyo walks to the door to walk out when it flies open, smacking her into the wall.
Her posse jumps back as a giant Doberman like dog the size of a lion comes through the door. He has red eyes, long dark brown almost black ears that go back, spikes on his black/dark brown back, light brown under chin, under bell, and at the bottom of his legs. His nails are long and razor sharp. His color is spiked and he has a short tail. He's menacing looking but has nothing on the 2 people standing next to him. One is a girl, the other a boy.
The girl has black hair that goes a little past her shoulders. It has red streaks in it, almost like blood. She's wearing a Men in Black suit with black sunglasses. Her face, expressionless, is that of someone who doesn't give a damn about anything or anyone.
The guy beside her is wearing the same suit and glasses. He has short brown hair, layered so it's sticking up but in a cute kinda way. Same expression, mixed with protectiveness over the girl.
"Agent M!" Sayuri yells. She rushes over to the girl and hugs her hard. The girl, Agent M, hugs her back. Sayuri jumps away and straightens Agent M's suit. "Sorry. I'm just happy to see you. I thought you had to go back to Italy on 'business'?"
"I did." Her accent sounds Italian. "But I came back on secret business. I thought I drop by and say hi." Sayuri laughs.
"More like barge in." She looks at the guy beside Agent M. "Agent Heartnet! Long time, no see." She smiles at him and he smiles back.
Kikyo comes from behind the door, hair amiss, clothes astray, blood coming from her nose.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" She stomps over to Agent M. "Did you just hit me with a door?!" Agent M looks at her.
"Even if I did, I wouldn't care." The dog growls at Kikyo.
"What the hell is that?!" She shrieks. Agent M looks at the dog thing and then to her.
"This? Why this is my large Doberman lion dog thing. His name is Fluffy." She smiles, but it is that of a shark's. She pats his side. Kagome backs away then looks at me.
"Your friends are bat shit crazy!" I roll my eyes at her comment.
"That's why they're my friends." I say.
"Yeah. Don't you have a corner to get too?" Sango asks.
"Or a pole to hump?" ask Kiehauna, who is standing with Inuyasha.
Kikyo narrows her eyes but knows she's in for a beat down. She snaps her fingers. "Girls! We're leaving." Her posse trails after her, including a reluctant Ayame. I put my hands on Koga's arm and she seethes with rage. I wave.
"Bye! Don't come back!" I say.
"Aw, she's leaving so soon? I was just about to make her some punch." Sayuri says. "And then poison it." She smiles sweetly, Zelda beside her.
"Let the door hit you on the way out!" Sango and Rin say.
"I love how attentive her bitches are." Kagami says.
"I wonder what obedient school she uses." Says Yura. Kagami gives her a look. Rin goes to the huge stereo system.
"Okay! Now that that's over with-." She's cut off by a scream.
"MY CAR!" We don't even have to look outside to know that it's Kikyo. Sayuri looks at Agent M.
"What? Her car was in my way so I decided to just drive over it." She shrugs like it's no big deal. Sayuri opens the door then closes it, eyes wide.
"With your TANK?!" She says. Agent M nods, totally calm. Sayuri shakes her head. "Same crazy Agent M."
"Okay!" We all look back up at Rin who's at the mike. "Let's get this party going!" She turns on the stereo system and it starts playing Get the Party Started by Pink. Everyone starts dancing, as if the last 20 minutes or so never happened. I was still trying to figure it out! Sayuri walks over to us, her 3 new friends in tow.
"Guys, this is Agent M and Agent Heartnet. And of course, Fluffy." She points out who's who. We all wave and say hi. They nod. Everyone starts to dance but not them.
They walk over to an empty space and Agent M pulls out a remote and presses a button. Out of nowhere a giant chair with flashing lights and buttons on the arm rests comes up from the floor. Agent M sits in it, surveying everyone while Agent Heartnet and Fluffy get on either side.
Rin comes over to us. "How the hell did that get there?" She looks from me to Sayuri.
"Don't ask." Sayuri says. "They work for the Mafia in Italy. Trust me; you do not wanna get in that." She grabs Ginta and starts dancing. Rin goes to Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, and Kiehauna to dance. I start dancing with Koga. This is way better. I smile and laugh, happy to be here with friends.
I feel a tap on my shoulder a few songs later and see Rin. She seems excited.
"Kags, I have something to show you." She says. She drags me away into the kitchen. There, standing at the table, is the last person I thought I'd see here; Hojo.
I freeze when I stand a few feet away from him. His face breaks out in a smile. He's wearing a light blue button down shirt, Khaki's and Sperre's. I smile back.
"Hey Higurashi." He says. I laugh and walk over to him. I hug him and step back.
"Hojo! What are you doing here?" I ask, trying to keep my mind in order.
"You're friend invited me." He indicates Rin, who's smiling super wide. I hug her.
"Rin, that was very sweet of you." I say.
"It was nothing. I saw how much you missed your friends. The girls were out of town but Hojo was free so I flew him down." She steps away slowly. "I'll let you two catch up." She winks and walks out. I look to Hojo to see him already looking at me.
"Kagome, you look very pretty. Same Kagome I remember." He smiles and I blush slightly.
"And you're the same sweet Hojo I remember." He blushes. He looks over my shoulder, looking kinda scared. I turn around and see Koga, who's walking towards me. He gets beside me and I grab his arm.
"Koga! Guess what?! Rin sent Hojo here to come see me. Isn't that great?" I say. He frowns.
"This is Hojo." It's not a question. I look at Hojo who looks scared.
"Yes, this is my friend Hojo. Hojo, this is Koga." I say. Koga smiles, it not so friendly.
"How's it going Hobo?" he says. I frown.
"It's Hojo." Hojo says. I suddenly realize this could get bad.
"Hojo, why don't you get some drink? I'll wait for you here." I say. Hojo nods and walks off. I turn to Koga.
"Koga, he's my friend from my old town. Calm down. Go have fun. I'll be there in a minute." I kiss his cheek. He nods and walks off. I turn around and see Hojo coming back, drink in hand. Oh hell… He gets in front of me, smiling big.
"It's good to see you Kagome." He says. I hint a double meaning in his words.
"Hojo, why don't you meet some of my other friends?" I say, hoping to set him straight in a gently way. He sets down the drink and we make our way to living room, the song changes to a slower one, My Girl by Temptations. Universe, I swear… When I get up there, I'm kickin' some ass! Not only that, I see Koga dancing with some other chick. I'm about to kick some ass right here, right now!
My jealousy flares up, but I can't do anything about it because Hojo starts to dance with me. I dance with him, since I have no other choice it seems.
I look around the room and am delighted to see some couples dancing: Sango and Miroku, Inuyasha and Kiehauna, Kagami and Yura, Sayuri and Ginta, Zelda and Hakkaku. And then there's Koga and that girl… I frown but then turn back to Hojo and notice he's talking. Damn...
I try to pay attention when someone interrupts us. I see Koga standing there. I frown.
"May I?" Hojo lets me go and gets the other girl, who looks delighted yet sad. Koga starts dancing with me but I avoid eye contact. I have my hands on his shoulders, his hands on my waist.
"Don't tell me you're mad at me." He says. I scoff.
"Mad? At you? Why ever would I be? If you wanna dance with some chick that looks like she should be from Sluts R Us, go right ahead." Koga lifts up my chin so I have to look him in the eyes.
"She means nothing. Just some random chick. Don't be mad or jealous. You're my only girl. Okay?" He says. I smile despite myself. "That's my Kagome." I roll my eyes. He puts his hand back on my waist.
"Whatever… I still think she looks like a slut." He laughs.
"I'm just glad I could dance with you instead." He frowns. "Why did Rin send Hobo down here?"
"It's Hojo. And because I said I miss my friends but the girls couldn't make it, just Hojo." I sigh. "I don't think he understands that we broke up for good back there." I suddenly have a brilliant idea. I look up at Koga and smile. "But I know how to make him listen." He looks at me weird.
"I don't know if I'll like this." He says.
"It'll get Hojo to leave me alone for good."
"Let's do it." I laugh at his excitement.
"Wow, so much enthusiasm." He smiles.
"If it gets him outta here, I'm all for it." I roll my eyes but walk off to get Sayuri, Rin, and Sango. I tell them my plan and Sayuri goes to get Kagami, Yura, and Zelda and let them in on their part.
Rin grabs 4 wireless mikes and gives one to Sayuri, Sango, and me, leaving one for herself. She stops the stereo and people look at us. Sango pushes them back so we have room to stand there.
"Okay! This song goes out to my friend from while back. He knows who he is." I say, winking at Hojo. Kagami, Yura, and Zelda bring him to the front so he can watch the whole thing. Rin presses a button on the stereo and the song comes on; the song I'm using to say how I feel: We Are Never Getting Back Together by Taylor Swift. I sing main, my girls singing back up.
~I remember when we broke up, the first time
Saying this is it, I've had enough, 'cause like
We haven't seen each other in a month
When you, said you, needed space, what?
Then you come around again and say
Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change
Trust me, remember how that lasted for a day
I say, I hate you, we break up, you call me, I love you
Oooh we called it off again last night
But oooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends talk
To my friends talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Like, ever…
I'm really gonna miss you picking fights
And me, falling for it saying that I'm right
And you, will hide and find your piece of mind
With some indie record that's much cooler than mine
Oooh we called it off again last night
But oooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends talk
To my friends talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
I used to think, that we, were forver ever ever
And I used to say never say never
Huh, he calls me up and he's like, I still love you
And I'm like, I'm just, I mean this is exhausting, you know
We are never getting back together, like ever
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends talk
To my friends talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
We, oooh, oooh, not back together, we
Oh, getting back together
You go talk to your friends talk
To my friends talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
The room erupts in applauses. We take a bow and I give my mike to Rin and walk to Hojo, who looks stunned.
"I'm sorry Hojo. But, I just thought you should know that we aren't together and we aren't getting back together." I shrug my shoulders. He nods and smiles.
"That's okay Higurashi. We are still friends, right?" I nod and smile. He nods then walks off to the other girl I frown and Koga walks up to me as regular music starts playing.
"That was amazing. Why the frowney face?" He asks.
"It's not even 5 minutes and he's already moved on!" I say. He laughs.
"Kags, you're crazy." I look up at him and smile.
"Shut up." He laughs again. I grab his hand and we walk off to our group to dance the night away.
A few songs later, Koga says he'll be right back. I nod and he walks off. Just then, I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing by Aerosmith comes on. Couples file up around the room. I go to walk to the seating area when I feel someone tap my shoulder. I turn around to see Inuyasha. I smile.
"Hey." I say. He smiles back.
"I believe you owe me a dance." He says, sounding rather confident, or maybe cocky. I roll my eyes, still smiling. I take his hand and he leads me to an empty space and I put my arms on his neck, his hands on my waist. I hum along to the music, actually enjoying this. Wait, what?!
I look around the room so I don't think about it. Same couples and I smile. I look back up at golden orbs looking into my own. I blush slightly.
"So, Inuyasha, can I ask you something?" I say, trying to find something to talk about and hoping to get an answer for a question that had been bugging me for a while.
"You're going to anyway." He smirks. I smile and roll my eyes.
"Okay then. What happened with Kikyo?" I watch his face for pain or anything. He just shrugs indifference on his face.
"I heard rumors over the summer, knew they were true, and just didn't wanna believe them. But now she's attacking Rin, who's like my little sister, and her friends. I just figured it was time to end it." He shrugs again.
"I'm sorry." He looks down, surprised by my comment.
"Why?"
I shrug. "I'm just sorry." He looks at me in awe.
"She threatened to hurt you, more than once, and you're sorry I broke up with her?" he asks, incredulous.
"Well, I'm sorrier to you than for her. And a threat she probably will never do anything about. I'm sorry about the cheating part." He shrugs again.
"Our break up would come sooner or later I guess."
"I'll change the subject." I say. "The party seems to be going well." He smirks.
"Do you mean before or after the whole Kikyo scene?"
"Well, when she got hit with the door was pretty funny." He laughs with me.
I hear someone clear their throat and look over to see Koga. I smile.
"Hey Koga." I step away from Inuyasha. I look at him. "Thank you for a lovely dance." He smiles back.
"Anytime."
I grab Koga's arm and take him into the kitchen. I grab a cookie and take a bite, trying to ignore his stares. I look up at him.
"What?" I ask. He frowns.
"Why were you dancing with Inuyasha?"
"One: it's a free country. Two: he asked me as my 'bill'. Third: I didn't know it would bug you so much." I look at him and eat the last bite of my cookie. He sighs.
"Of course it would, just like it bothered you to see me with that random girl earlier." I frown.
"Okay, okay. I'm sorry." I wrap my arms around his waist. "Tonight's supposed to be fun. Wanna go dance? Just you and me?" He smiles. I kiss his cheek and drag him into the living room just as Can You Feel the Love Tonight by Elton John comes on. "I love this song!"
I put my arms around his neck and he puts his arms on my waist. I sing along to it softly and lay my head on Koga's chest. He puts his chin on the top of my head. I smile. Okay, so tonight wasn't perfect, but it was close enough.
I wave goodbye to the last batch of people. I shut the door and lean against it. I yawn and survey the room and all that's left in it; Koga, Sango, Rin, Miroku, and Inuyasha.
The party had gone on for another hour or so. It was 1:35 a.m. now. Sayuri and them had left a few minutes ago, but not without the distribution of numbers and promises to be back. Ginta and Hakkaku left around the same time but Koga had stayed. Agent M and her friends had disappeared, leaving only Kikyo's car scarps left in their wake, along with some scarred guys who even dared to look at Agent M. Even the chair had disappeared. I was still scared to walk on the area. I smile. I can't wait to see them all again for the next get together.
Koga looks over at me and I raise my arms. He rolls his eyes but walks over to me. He turns around and kneels down. I hop on his back and lay my head down on his shoulder, stifling another yawn.
"Tired?" Koga asks.
"Yes, way more than I should be." I say. He chuckles.
"Well, you were pretty busy tonight." I nod, unable to say anything. He chuckles again.
"Guys, I'm taking Kagome home; she's kinda tired." He says. I look over his shoulder at Rin and Sango. They look like me. They nod and wave bye before trudging upstairs. It seems the boys have disappeared to either stuff their faces or fall asleep somewhere.
"Let's go… I need my jacket and clutch from the closet." I say, yawning with the last word. He goes in, me in tow, grabs my jacket with the clutch in the pocket and shuts it.
We walk out the door and to his car. He switches me so I'm in his arms bridal style. I open my eyes.
"I can get in the car." I say.
But it's no use; Koga's already got my in the car. He buckles me up and shuts the door. I close my eyes, welcoming the warm seats, dark interior, and safe feeling I feel when I'm with Koga.
I roll over and surprised to feel bed and the swish of my dress. I open my eyes and notice I'm in my room. What?
The last thought I have is of being in Koga's car. My heart swells with love as I sit up. I walk to the vanity and take off my jewelry, a huge smile on my face. He's so sweet. Carried me to my room.
I change into my hello kitty pajamas and hop back in bed, dreaming of the sweetest demon I know who has somehow taken my heart, whether against my will or knowing, I could care less. I smile again. Oh universe, you're not all bad…
