I'M SORRY!!! I haven't been able to type for about 2 weeks due to. um. certain "circumstances". BUT I STILL LOVE YOU!! Oh, yeah, I don't own Inuyasha. I wish I did because I love him too, but snaps. *munches on a peppermint bagel, realizes that it tastes icky, and gets a blueberry bagel* I don't own "Is She Really Going Out With Him" by Sugar Ray. Thank you!

Chapter 7: Sorry Hojo

"Kagome!" Kagome turned to see Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi running toward her across the school grounds.

"Oh, hey! I haven't seen you guys in a while!" Kagome waved, genuinely happy.

"That's because you haven't been at school! What's new with that stalking- psycho boyfriend of yours?"

"You mean Inuyasha?" (A/N: Yes, Kagome's friends know about Inuyasha. In one episode, Kagome tells them about him. Just a few personality tidbits, the fact he tried to kill Kouga for hitting on her, ... nothing about adorable ears!)

Ayumi elbowed Yuka. "He's not a psycho. He sounds kind of nice to me. It sounds like her really likes you, Kagome." Ayumi winked at her. Kagome smiled at her support. (A/N: Ayumi is my favorite of Kagome's friends. They all shall die one day... except Ayumi.)

"Whatever. He almost killed some guy for hitting on her, remember? And what kind of name in Inuyasha-"

Kagome interrupted. "I like his name. And what makes you think something's going on?"

"1. Because you've been so dazed and dreamy. 2. Your skirt's on backwards," Eri giggled. Kagome cursed under her breath as she fixed her skirt.

Eri continued. "When's the last time you saw Hojo?"

"I don't know, why?"

"Oh, I don't know... maybe it's because he's been looking for you and he wants to ask you out again!"

Kagome groaned. "Won't he give it a rest?"

"What? He really likes you!"

"Big furry deal!" she mumbled.

"Huh?"

"Never mind."

"Hey, Kagome!" Kagome turned to see Hojo running toward her. Her friends giggled and mosied away, spying on Hojo and Kagome from behind a tree. Hojo stopped in front of Kagome, panting. "Hi! I was wondering if you wanted to go out this Saturday."

"Not really."

"Oh, well maybe when you're feeling better. See ya!" He started to leave. Kagome stopped him.

"I'm feeling fine. I mean that I don't want to go out with you. But maybe you should check if Ayumi wants to do anything."

Hojo shifted uncomfortably. "Yeah... Ayumi is aright, but I really like you!"

"I don't know, I think you'd like her."

Hojo looked a bit angry at this. Kagome had never seen him angry before. "I don't like Ayumi as much as I like you!"

"I'm sorry, but the feeling isn't mutual. I have other plans on Saturday."

"What plans?"

"I have to jump in a well."

Hojo frowned and his eyes drooped. (Like the basset hound on the Hush Puppies shoe box, y'know?) "Is there someone else?"

Kagome thought for a moment. "Yeah, there is."

Hojo's jaw dropped. He hadn't expected her to be so blunt about it. "Is it that silver haired guy?"

"Flashing neon lights... that means yes," she answered a dumbstruck Hojo. She grinned. "Let me know if it works out with Ayumi, see ya!" Kagome hurried away.

Ayumi almost fell out from behind the tree. Eri and Yuka caught her before she came into view.

Hojo stared after Kagome.

***Is she really going out with him?

*** Is she really gonna take him home tonight?

***Is she really going out with him?

***Cuz if my eyes don't deceive me, there's something going on around here

And Hojo didn't shut his jaw until 2 bells later.
