It had been just one week after the text message was sent, and everyone knew about Sango and Kagome's "date". Rumors spread like wildfire on an open field. Kagome had never been in the school spotlight before. She was used to the cold stairs and mumbles about her, though, nothing like this. Each day 1 million question, and each day the same response, "Nothing happened; it's all a lie." With each time she said that, the more her heart reminded her it wasn't a lie at all. She remembered Sango's warm smile, her holding, waiting arms, the cocky and yet shy attitude that sparked her own curiosity.

Sango on the other hand was used to the popularity questions and stairs. Being in almost every sports team gets you friends and fans. Even though her friends asked, even though rumors spread, which weren't even close to what actually happened; Sango never told them the truth. She had in fact been tempted, her anger quietly building inside her, wanting to scream, "Yes we went on a date and yes it is real. So real we made out, does that answer your god damn question?" Yet she stayed back for Kagome.

The game has just begun and with a rock start, it could be anyone's turn to try and take the lead.

"Kagome, wake up dear" Mrs. Higurashi said shaking her first born. "Mom two more minutes please" Kagome mumbled, placing a pillow on top of her head. "Your principal called" Mrs. Higurashi said, taking the pillow away. That got Kagome's attention like a lion that has just seen its first prey after days of starvation. "Get ready we have to meet him now, regarding some rumors supposedly". Mrs. Higurashi's voice was slow and soft as if she was talking to a new born. Kagome silently nodded and got out of bed.

No cut marks scared her arms, no cigarettes found in her room. She has had no energy after the rumors. Kagome walked to her bathroom as her mother went to wake up Souta, so they could drop him off on the way. Kagome brushed her hair then put on a white t shirt, black jeans and black shoes.

Kagome had to practically drag Souta down the stairs and out the door. She sat in the back with him and tried to get a couple more seconds to sleep. Yet she couldn't, she kept thinking what if… "Honey we're here, come now we don't want Mr. Yamugi to be mad would we?" Mrs. Higurashi whispered to her daughter. The two walked up the steps to Inu no Kyoshi High.

Kagome noticed ever since the rumors started everything seemed to get better. She stopped smoking, cutting, started to get better grades and then there's her mom. The family doctor took her off depression pills; she had more pep in her step like any other would for their child. Maybe this rumor was actually very good for her. She hadn't realized they were in the school's office until her mother recited their names and who they were here to see.

"Here" Mrs. Higurashi said handing Kagome a paper. "Your schedule changes today and" The woman at the desk said. "You can have it early." Kagome nodded and thanked her in response. "Ah Mrs. Higurashi and Kagome how nice of you to come" Mr. Yamugi said opening his door to his private office. "Mrs. Higurashi if you'd please come with me first" He said with a gentle arm gesture. "Why don't you look over your schedule Kagome, I'll call you in a few." He said as Kagome's mom walked into his office. The door shut with a quiet squeak as Kagome's eyes fled to her paper. "Period 1…Gym, great" she thought. She was half way down her paper when unmistakable sounds of rain hit the roof.

Kagome's eyes fled to the ceiling as the sound got worse. There was a slam down the hall and sneakers scraping the ground as voices talked, girl voices. "That must be the girls' football team coming in from the rain" the woman said. Kagome's heart dropped at the thought of seeing Sango after all this pandemonium. The squeaking grew louder then faded as they turned a corner, obviously into the gym.

"Kagome, you can come in now" Mr. Yamugi said reopening his door. Kagome walked in and sat next to her calm mother. She placed her new schedule on her lap and awaited Mr. Yamugi's voice. Mr. Yamugi and Kagome had known each other for sometime now. He has always watched detention and considering the times she was driven or blamed for trouble, it's as if they were best friends, who talked everyday. That had changed when the text went out. "I haven't seen you in a week Kagome, Im proud of you for that. I even hear you got B's and C's on your report card, very nice, keep up the good work" Mr. Yamugi said sitting in his big computer chair. Kagome nodded not knowing what to say. "I've also heard some rumors lately; I have shared some with your mother. We would just like to know if any are true or if you need help or anything along those lines" He said firmly.

"You aren't into woman are you Kagome? If you are its fine dear, Mr. Yamugi and I would just like some clarification if any of this is true." Mrs. Higurashi came right out with it. It's funny that Kagome has been asking herself these questions. Reassuring herself it's alright, its fine, its ok. Yet is it fine when your mind disagrees with your heart? Kagome could feel the stairs on her. She could feel the confusedness of her mother and principal in their stairs. Kagome looked at her paper, her ears filled with the sound of the rain patting against the roof. The sound of silence was nothing compared to the sound of the beat of your heart.

"Nothing" Kagome mumbled. "What was that Hun?" Mrs. Higurashi said. "Nothing happened, it's not real. Why do you people believe things actually happen when students, immature jackass students, talk about it? It never makes any sense! It's not true this is all a lie do you hear me? A L-I-E!" Kagome wanted to scream at the two. Yet only, "Nothing happened its all a lie" came out. "Well then that's all we needed to hear" Mr. Yamugi said. "Kagome you have about 20 minutes until 1st period, why don't you get there early?" He said getting up. Kagome and her mother fallowed silently.

He opened the door and let the two out. They exchanged goodbyes after the 30 minute meeting. Mrs. Higurashi hugged and kissed her daughter goodbye and left happily. Kagome slowly walked towards the gym, hoping no one was in the school this early to bother her. She made her way to the gym and opened the door quietly. She hadn't realized what she had done until she saw the girls' football team tossing basketballs into hoops.

"Alright ladies we have about 15 minutes to get showers and clean up, lets go" shouted Aayme. Girls pilled into the locker room, all but one. "Sango are you coming?" Rachel asked holding open the locker room door. "I'm going to work on my shots" Sango stated practicing three point throws. Rachel turned to shut the door when white caught her eye. "Oh hi Kagome" she said smirking and shutting the door.

Sango dropped the ball and looked around the gym as it rolled to half court. "Kagome" Sango whispered quietly seeing her. Kagome bit her lip as she tried to look away from Sango in her black muscle shirt and white shorts that came down below her knees, her white shoes, her hair up high in a pony tail. Kagome's heart took control over her body and made her step closer to Sango. She could see visible punctures wounds in Sango's arm and quietly gasped. "Did you inject yourself?" Kagome blurted out. "What this? My pup got a gold of me and didn't let go" Sango replied. "Oh" Kagome said almost happily. She fled her eyes away trying not to look into Sango's hypnotizing eyes. "So um it was nice talking to you" Sango said walking away.

"Sango.." Kagome said gripping her hand and giving it a little squeeze. Tears spilled from Kagome's eyes, like she couldn't help it any linger, she needed tears out now. Sango wrapped her arms around Kagome and caressed her thumb against Kagome's cheek. "You are my sunshine" Sango began singing until Kagome stopped most of the tears. "Sango…" Kagome started again beginning to sob once more. Sango gently placed her lips on Kagome's holding her close. Kagome kissed back through the sob. When the two stood like that, Sango's black shirt and white shorts, shoes mixing with Kagome's white shirt, black pants, shoes; it made them look as if they were ying and yang. Sango pulled away after Kagome stopped crying.

Sango once again caressed Kagome's cheek and whispered "I missed you too".
