Firevixen73- Thank you InuyashaHanyouJajuam and Dixy-Angel for helping me out with the girls name, and everyone else too, cause I want to try and include her more so in the story. Those are the only names I can currently remember, but I know there was more who helped. Me and my memory, it's really bad in case you didn't catch on, but just so I don't forget anyone, thank you! All right, here you go.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Rin, Ayame, Sango and Kagome spent the rest of the week laughing about the previous lunch, when you looked back it was hilarious, Ayame had even kept the hairnet as a memento. Rin, Ayame and Sango had also talked to Kagome about their recent meetings with their respective gods and Kagome was extremely thankful that Rin was able to explain to her why Sesshomaru hadn't figured them out yet. Eventually they decided to take a break from their posts and let things between the gods settle out. That was until Friday afternoon.
Kagome looked over at the silver haired man with dog-ears sitting on top of his head, concentrating on the road. She turned back around and looked out her passenger window, why her?
(Friday at Lunch)&&&&&&&&&
Kagome quickly walked over to her self-designated lunch spot, the willow tree. She and her friends almost always sat under it, they didn't know why, but they did. Today they had actually been planning on going off campus for lunch, but their minds immediately changed when they realized how many other people already were. Translation, crowded everywhere else, un-crowded here.
Kagome was the first one there, no surprise really, so she quickly grabbed her things and climbed up to her favorite spot, which left her a few yards above ground and completely invisible, unless you knew where to look. A few minutes later and everyone was there, Rin and Sango on the ground while Ayame sat a little less then a foot below Kagome. They sat there, busy talking about Sota and Kohaku's game that evening, and how they couldn't wait to see them play. After all, their team had a great coach, Kagome.
And Kagome was excited too. The team had been training really hard and the team they were playing against tonight was one of the best.
It was about that time that the world decided to intervene. Sesshomaru suddenly walked over and sat down, staring intently at the two on the ground. He just sat there, not blinking once. Rin was about to comment on his weirder then normal behavior when Miroku, Kouga and Inuyasha joined. Kagome decided that maybe someone should say something but was cut off by Kouga.
"So where's Ayame and Kagome?"
Kagome immediately shut her mouth, realizing the four hadn't noticed the two in the tree. She looked over to Ayame to see her pick up an apple, preparing to hurl it at Kouga for being such a dunce when Kagome jumped down and caught her hand in mid air. Shaking her head she motioned to Ayame to be quite and listen to what they wanted. Kagome looked back down to see Rin stealing quick glances in her direction, obviously not knowing what to say. Kagome nodded for her to play along and prayed that Rin got the message. Luckily, she did.
Rin turned back around and faced the four staring at her intently, and smiled mischievously. "Hanging around, you know those two, always busy little squirrels, but, since we're here, what do you want?"
Inuyasha leaned forward and looked at the two. "You are going to tell us everything you know about the goddesses, that's a direct order form the gods."
"Um…no." Sango looked over, grinning like a mad woman.
"You can't violate a direct order from one of the gods, especially the supreme. Now talk."
By now a crowd of students had gathered around them, but the two women just looked at each other and nodded. "Yes we can, if it's in direct violation of another order given by one of the goddesses, especially the supreme, which by the way, it is. We have strict orders not to disclose any information concerning their identities."
"Fine," growled Sesshomaru, "then what do they do? That has to do with work, not identities."
Rin had to acknowledge that. "They are basically student council presidents for the entire student body. They handle all dances, sports events, assemblies and common everyday problems of girls in the school…I hope that's enough to satisfy your want. Can you leave now, we were having a conversation?"
Inuyasha gave a slight growl, he knew they knew something and so far they were the only ones to give out any type of information. He had tried everyone else, they wouldn't budge. He also had a hunch that Kagome knew something and if he had to follow her around all day to get her to talk he would. Now if only he could find her.
"Fine don't talk, tell me where Kagome is and we'll leave." He said extremely irritated.
"We already told you we're not positive." Replied Sango "I mean do you actually expect us to know the very spot?" Oh, I know 27 paces past the drinking fountain on the third step." She said sarcastically. "Besides last I heard, her and Ayame were with the goddesses discussing what they were going to do about you four. Unlike you, the goddesses try to include everyone in on their decisions unlike you, that includes nobodies like Kagome and Ayame."
The four gods and remaining boys who had gathered around them were too busy contemplating that Kagome and Ayame were with the goddesses to notice the snickering girls around them. Each and every girl who had heard that comment knew it was true, yet also a hoax. Of course they were with the goddesses, they were the goddesses!
Kagome smiled, Sango was great at war and war tactics, she undoubtedly saw this whole intervention as a battlefield. Rin gave a quick glance up not knowing what to do, Kagome winked, indicating further pursuit, time to put a fire under their asses.
Rin smiled, knowing exactly what Kagome wanted her to say it was absolutely brilliant! She looked over at Inuyasha, that furious yet bewildered look still plastered on his face. He looked over at the two women sitting in front of him. "So they're planning on doing something to us? Like what?"
Bingo! Just what she wanted to hear. "Not sure, but from what I could gather, from what little they told Kagome and what little she told me, they're considering placing a 'display case' on you four."
A loud gasp was uttered by every girl within hearing range, which by now was a lot. It was as if the world had stopped, teachers froze in mid-conversation, trays of food dropped on the ground, going unnoticed. Not one girl moved. They were all too shocked to believe what they had just heard. A display case! Sure it was drastic, but then again they had done all that complaining, it would solve everything, but it was real harsh, it hadn't been used over twenty-five years.
Inuyasha briefly looked around the campus to see every woman in sight frozen on the spot. Whatever this display case was it couldn't be a good thing.
Sango looked also looked around, she too understood what Kagome had meant and she agreed, all is fair in love and war.
Miroku looked aver at Sango, she didn't really seem surprised, had the goddesses already talked to her? Looking around he decided to ask the dreaded question that was on every mans mind. "So what exactly is a display case?"
Sango looked over at him. "It's basically a block, no women who goes to this school, has gone to this school, or will go to this school, is allowed to date you. They can look all they want, but no touching. No dates. No fooling around. And if they feel even the slightest urge to flirt, or communicate in any other way besides friendship, they MUST leave your presence immediately. It's only been used one other time, just goes to show how much of a bother you four are."
"So why aren't you two surprised?" asked Kouga
"Because of the little fact that you have been terrorizing us for, I don't know, most of our adult lives! They ask us questions about you four all the time. They know that out of everyone in this school, we know your personalities best. What ticks you off, what keeps you calm, so who better to make the decisions about you four than the ones who know you? In fact, they're probably busy contemplating what Kag's and Ayame have told them about you. Wondering if the display case will work or not." Said Rin while smiling mischievously.
"Well that only if they've already talked to them, I mean Kagome did say they would contact her today, who knows if they already have or not? Maybe she and Ayame are just in line somewhere, or in the bathroom debating on whether they passed a test or not." Sango said nonchalantly while looking at her nails.
Like lightning the four gods where on their feet racing towards the cafeteria doors praying that Kagome hadn't talked to them yet. Damn the stuff she could tell them. This was not good, they couldn't survive without their many girlfriends, that was like ordering them not to breath, and if the Mount Olympus high school body was loyal enough not to utter a word about the goddesses, then there was no doubt they could manage to keep away for a few days. Damn, they really needed to find Kagome.
-(Back in the car)-
So here she was sitting in Inuyasha's car, driving as if they were in some speed race down a 30-mile hour road. Though she did have to admit the look on his face was worth it. As soon as the crowd left, her and Ayame jumped down from the tree almost rolling from laughter.
The gods spent the better half of the day looking for Kagome and Ayame. They even ordered the rest of the male student body to look, that's why they asked Principal Kayede if they could stay in her room for a while. It was great, from what they heard Miroku had been thrown out of the girls bathroom twice, Kouga out of the girls locker room, Sesshomaru out of the library and Inuyasha managed to lock himself in the janitor's closet. To make it better the yearbook staff managed to get pictures, definitely a good day.
That was until they found what little brains they had. Sesshomaru had finely pointed out that all four of them were somehow close with the goddesses and that it would be best if they followed them around all day.
So here she was still staring out Inuyasha's car window. He had practically stalked her for the rest of the day. He was never more than a few feet away. Anytime another person would approach her he would glare at them menacingly, leaving her annoyed, bitter and very lonely throughout they day, 'cause she sure as hell wasn't going to talk to him. That got old before it was new, she couldn't talk to anyone, not to mention she needed to get to the baseball field. At first she had tried walking there, knowing it wasn't far, but that got old fast, maybe it wouldn't have if Inuyasha hadn't been next to her. Going about 2 miles an hour, telling her she should just get in.
Kagome looked up to see the turn for the baseball field approaching. "Inuyasha?"
"I'm driving wench, don't bug me."
"Inuyasha?"
"Driving!"
"Inuyasha!"
"What?"
"Turn!"
"What?" It suddenly dawned on him what she meant and he hit the brakes and turned the wheel, leaving black marks on the once streak less pavement.
"Do you think you can, you know, not do that again?" she asked still clutching her chair as a lifeline.
"Shut up, you were the one who was supposed to tell me when to turn, what you just can't do your job? See that's why women shouldn't drive."
"Inuyasha don't give me an excuse to kill you."
"Like you could."
"You really want to give the chance to test that little theory of yours?"
He looked up to see that she was dead serious and gave a slight gulp, due of her dark expression. "Well looks like we're here." He quickly jumped out of his car, desperately hoping she was just a good actress.
Kagome sighed and reached into the back for her bag, she opened the door and started to walk over to the bathroom only to bump into something hard. She stumbled a few paces back and rubbed her nose, she eventually looked up to see Inuyasha standing in front of her, arm's crossed, a smirk on his face. "What the hell was the about, do you not know how to move?" She tried to step around him, but was blocked once again. "Inuyasha?" she tried to suppress a growl.
"No, now how do I know you're not actually going in there to meet someone?"
Kagome's right eyebrow twitched. She threw her bag over her shoulder and thrust her arms out in front of her immediately contacting with Inuyasha's chest. Kagome pushed and continued to push. Inuyasha stumbled a few steps backwards, until he realized she wasn't going to stop. When she finally did his back was up against something hard, he turned slightly to see the girls bathroom sign. "What?" he asked totally confused.
"Go check it, you want to make sure, well there you go." She crossed her arms not once loosing her defiant look.
There was just something about it, something that made him catch his breath. Every time she would act like this it would leave him with chills running through his body, like pure exhilaration. "So you want me to come in and watch you change? Well why didn't you just say so?" he said while smirking.
Kagome looked like she was going to lunge at him that very moment, but instead she threw her hands up and pushed open the door. Halfway through she turned around and looked at him. "You are so, damn it, and I thought Miroku was bad!" But her efforts were wasted at the moment Inuyasha saw a faint blush lingering slightly on her cheeks. The door shut, leaving Inuyasha staring at its dark green coloring wondering if he had just imagined what he saw.
Inuyasha continued to lean against the door, silently watching people enter the small local stadium, he sighed wondering what was taking Kagome so long. Finally looking up to see a letch, a cocky possessive jerk and his arrogant brother walking towards him, each one trailing their designated target. Sango looked like she was going to kill, while Miroku looked like she had attempted a few times. The three girls walked up, each radiating pure hatred and looked at him as if he was the devil himself.
"Where is Kagome?" asked Rin looking as if she was going to slaughter him right then and there. He motioned towards the bathroom.
"Move," said Sango, her eyebrow twitching. She suddenly turned around and slapped Miroku, leaving him unconscious on the ground. They all looked over to see his hand twitching as if he was grabbing something. "he can't go freakin' five minutes!" she stomped over to Inuyasha, her eyes telling him to beat it.
Kouga immediately stepped in front of her blocking any usable path. "No, how do we know you're not going to converse with the enemy? Women do strange things when they're alone and they think no one's watching."
Ayame cut in front on Sango, hands clenched into fists. "You know I've been waiting all day to do this." Suddenly Kouga found himself on the ground with a bloody nose. He looked up to see Ayame standing over him, a triumphant look on her face, fist extended into the air. "Anybody else feel like going to the hospital?" The remaining gods simultaneously stepped aside and out of her way, leaving a clear path to the door.
"I swear, if you even attempt to follow us in, that pretty silver hair of yours is going to be stained red, and trust me, it's not going to be my blood!" Rin yelled threateningly at Sesshomaru, she walked over and pushed the dark green door open, Ayame quickly behind her.
Sango looked over at the now conscious Miroku. "Don't even think about it, cause I swear…" She turned around and pushed open the door, leaving Miroku with a million thoughts on what she could do to him.
"Well, I don't know about you three but I'm going to go grab a seat." Sesshomaru turned around and headed over to the bleachers finding a now vacant spot in the front. Another perk to being one of the gods.
"I'm going to get a hot dog." Kouga walked over to the vender and ordered, and eventually sat next to Sesshomaru, making the old couple sitting next him move.
"Well, I'm tired and could use a good back rub, Sango's hits aren't as soft as she leads you to believe, and those girls over there look friendly enough." Miroku pranced away toward the group of freshman girls sitting on the top bleacher.
Inuyasha looked over at the girl's bathroom door, it's green color almost mocking him. "I'm going to ask Kagome's baseball team a few questions. I doubt their going to be meeting anyone in there, besides, I can always run over if anything looks out of the ordinary." He said quietly. He quickly walked over to the group of boys on the right side of the field, dressed in red, currently warming up.
-(In the girls bathroom)-
"Of all the insensitive, dimwitted, one-minded asses, who the hell do they think they are, following us around all day? And Sesshomaru, what the hell is his fucking problem? Oh no, don't even get me started on him!" yelled Rin furiously at her four friends.
"I wasn't going-" Said Sango sympathetically but was cut off
"He's such a stuck up, arrogant, good for nothing jerk! Just because he doesn't have a life doesn't mean he can interrupt mine! I mean seriously, that oaf probably got me thrown out of the chess club! And the book club, don't even get me started!"
"I didn't and don't plan-" but Sango was cut off once again by Rin's ranting.
"He stole the damn list off the table, you know, the one that has the names off all the books on it, well he stole it, like I said, and started to talk about how bad each one of them was. 'Well this guy dies' or, 'never read it but the titles sounds boring' what a conceited…"
Rin continued to rant about her day, but by now her friends had learned that it was no use, the only way to get her to shut-up now would be to bring Sesshomaru himself in, and that was highly unlikely. Mostly because you can only have so much torture in one day, second, the only way you would catch Sesshomaru in a girl's bathroom who be if he was making out with someone in a stall.
"So, she calls the chess club and the book club a life?" asked Ayame.
"Agreed, maybe it's better that Sesshomaru messed this one up, that way we can get her a better one." argued Sango.
"Sango! Ayame! You two of all people can't talk, miss 'I practice throwing a giant boomerang made out of demon bones during my free time'." Kagome said accusingly at Sango, then turned to Ayame. "Or miss I'm going to learn how to communicate with wolves! Compared to you two, she's normal!"
"Hey, boomerang throwing is an ancient way off killing demons. It's been passed down from generation, besides, it's kinda fun." Sango said that last part in an almost whisper.
"Ya, and well, I was really close to figuring out their language, I just couldn't get the right pitches in my voice."
"You two are completely hopeless."
"We really need to get her to stop." Ayame pointed to Rin, who was still ranting.
"Don't worry, I got that covered." Kagome looked up mischievously. "So Rin, that doors not very thick, actually, it's pretty thin."
Rin looked over at her friends. "Ya, so?"
"Well, I wasn't sure at first, but now that I think about it, my ears couldn't have made it up, or maybe they did."
"Made what up?"
"Well, I could have sworn I heard you say Sesshomaru's hair was pretty."
Rin froze as realization hit her. Oh my god, she did! She could here herself repeating those dreaded words. "I swear, if you even attempt to follow us in, that pretty silver hair of yours is going to be stained red, and trust me, it's not going to be my blood!" She called Sesshomaru's hair pretty! Even if it was in the form of a threat she still said it!
"Wow Kag's never would have thought of that. I heard it and all, but it didn't even register what she had said." Sango looked puzzled. "I wonder if Sesshomaru's figured it out yet?"
Rin almost had a heart attack with Sango's question. Almost, not quite, but Kagome's next statement sure did her in.
"Ya," Kagome smiled wickedly, "Not sure why, but it's reminding me of July 7 2003."
With that, Rin fell to the ground, knees hitting together. "My life is over, completely over. I'll have to move, start a new life, if he figures this out, I'll never live it down." She mumbled.
"Oh relax, he won't figure it out, well, not unless someone points it out to him. He is a guy after all, though sometimes you gotta wonder." Kagome walked over to Rin and patted her on the back. "And currently no one in this room as any score to settle with you. I know Sango and I already got you back with the pictures, which I'm happy to say are now in the school yearbook!" Rin looked at her menacingly. "He, he, he, well, that's it for us, hopefully you haven't done anything to Ayame lately."
"Your right, only the people in here caught on to it, and you two already got me back and I haven't done anything to Ayame, so…" But she was cut off by Ayame clearing her throat.
"So you haven't done anything huh? So stealing Kagome's bag of pancakes and waving them in front of me cheering about how you have them and I don't isn't doing anything?"
"Come on, that was um, just a friendly gesture, you know, between friends." Rin said pleadingly.
"Oh, so eating them in front of me one by one is a friendly gesture huh? Well, this is my friendly gesture back." She glared evilly and side stepped Rin's attempt of a tackle and rushed out the door. She was soon followed by a completely distraught Rin.
"So that's what happened to my pancakes, I was wondering." Kagome looked over at Sango.
"Ya, I had heard about that, apparently, after the cafeteria incident, Ayame was in the locker room taking a shower when Rin stole her clothes. Then when Ayame was ready to get out she couldn't, especially since Coach Rick was doing his daily inspection. Rin, being her evil little self, asked him to stay and have some pancakes while Ayame stood there helplessly in the shower listening."
"So basically, Ayame's going to drag this 'pretty hair' thing out as long as possible."
"Yup, and I must say, it's a pretty fair punishment, an eye for an eye, that's my motto."
"An eye for an eye and the world goes blind."
Sango gave a slight chuckle. "Ya well, anyway, I hope you win tonight, we all going out for pizza after wards?" Sango pushed the door open, revealing the blazing sun.
"Course, and we can probably pawn off the bill on the guys." Together the two walked out towards the pit, where part of her team was waiting, where the other half was, was anyone's guess. As long as they were warmed up, Kagome was happy.
"Defiantly liking the sound of that, remind me to go all out while ordering. And I really need to get one of those coach outfits. They're wicked! And red is a really good color on you. Can you get me one with pink?"
"You make me laugh Sango. So where do you want to sit, at the bleachers or at the pit?"
"Personally, I kinda want to see how Rin fairs."
"Good, I was hoping you would say that."
"Stab that knife in Kag's. Wow, you really don't want me around, oh, and the knife twists." Sango made a dramatic pose as if she was dead, yet, apparently still walking.
"Hey, your not the only one who wants to see how it turns out. I want updates missy. And by the way, my wrist would be turning the other way, opposite of you, remember?"
"Sorry, my bad."
They laughed and both headed off to their designated directions.
