Okay, I don't know how terrible this chapter is going to be, so bare with me .
Kagome woke happily the next morning and showered, pulling on a pair of black skinny jeans and a red tank that hugged tightly to her curves; she did her make up and pulled on her knee-high heeled boots. She used her mom's straightener and made her hair as straight as she could. She had a bowl of Nesquick and rode with her mom to school.
"Hey Kags!" Sango greeted as she neared her locker and Kagome smiled, seeing Inuyasha and Miroku were there too; her eyes met with Inuyasha's and they blushed, quickly looking away.
"Hey Sango, what's up?" Kagome asked, opening her locker and grabbing her things for Japanese;
"Not much," she looked away and Miroku butted in,
"That's a lie! I just asked you out for a date and you ignored me!" he complained and Kagome laughed.
"Aww, Sango, give the poor man a chance," she urged, deciding to help Miroku out;
"That's right! Thank you Kagome!" Miroku nodded furiously, almost down on one knee to beg. Sango groaned, her shoulders drooping,
"Fine, I'll go."
"Yes!" Miroku jumped in the air triumphantly and they all laughed, Kagome and Inuyasha taking off to class as the warning bell sounded.
The next week or so went by quietly and happily; Kikyo kept to glaring from afar and Kouga had tried asking Kagome out a couple times but Inuyasha had intervened, helping her out. Kagome was hanging out with Sango one night at her place,
"So how are you and Inuyasha doing?" Sango asked and Kagome blushed, shaking her head.
"We're friends," she ignored the question, knowing where her friend was going;
"Oh please, he's always flirting with you."
"No he's not."
"Are you dense?"
"Of course not," Kagome stuck her nose in the air indignantly and Sango laughed.
"Clearly you are, because he's been quite obvious about it."
"I'm just going to ignore you."
"Oh no you're not! I know you love it when he compliments you, which is pretty much everyday."
"Of course I like it when he compliments me, I like it when anyone does."
"Stop trying to fool yourself and admit it: you like him," Sango pointed her finger in Kagome's face, who blushed, tucking a strand of raven hair behind her ear.
"No…" she denied quietly and Sango rolled her eyes.
"Come on, we're best friends, you can confide in me. It's what best friends are for," Sango pleaded and Kagome thought about it;
"You won't tell anyone?"
"Who am I going to tell? You three are my only friends and that'd just be mean to tell those two."
"Well…I think…I like him," Kagome blushed crimson and Sango squealed.
"Finally! You admit to it!"
"What are you talking about? It's not like I-"
"Oh you've liked him for a while, don't try to deny it now."
"Stop talking like you know everything!" Sango blinked before smiling knowingly.
"Sorry…"
"It's fine, obviously he's your first crush, right?" they calmed down, sipping on their cans of coke.
"Yeah, I guess. I never really got close to anyone to like someone," Sango sighed, rolling her eyes.
"All because of Kikyo?" Kagome nodded; "Well that's over and done with now, and you can make the moves on Inuyasha."
"What?!"
"You heard me."
"I'm not sure I did."
"Whatever. You like him, he's always flirting with and complimenting you, so obviously he likes you-"
"You don't know that."
"It's obvious."
"No it's not!"
"Calm down! Jeez, you can't just assume no one will ever like you, Kags."
"I never said that."
"I know, but you're obviously feeling that way," Kagome looked down, trying to ignore the fact that Sango always seemed to be right these days. "So just…stop trying to get away from him and make your own moves."
"How?"
"Like…flirt back. Compliment him and stuff," Sango shrugged, and Kagome rolled her eyes. "Give him opportunities to ask you out."
"Like how you went out with Miroku?" Kagome smirked at the blush that overtook Sango's confident face. "Oh? And how was that, now that I remember it."
"It was…fine," Kagome kicked her,
"Spill it," Sango sighed.
"I guess…it was fun. Miroku was really sweet that night and didn't even lay a hand on me once," she smiled to herself, remembering the perfect evening they had had.
"So you like him?"
"What?! Of course not! He's still a perv," Sango huffed.
"Come on Sango, this is what best friend's are for," Kagome smirked, playing Sango's own trick on her.
"Well…I guess…sometimes he can be charming," Sango blushed and Kagome giggled.
"I suppose I'll accept that for now," they laughed and continued with their night.
*****
At school the next day Kagome and Sango couldn't look at the guys without wanting to scream. They rushed away down the hall to the bathroom, keeping their distance.
"Oh my God, I can't help thinking that somehow they know that we've confessed, or like…oh jeez," Sango covered her face and Kagome groaned, her heart pounding fast and hard in her ears.
"What are we going to do?" she whined, leaning against the mirror,
"We can't just ignore them for the rest of our lives."
"I know…we'll just have to…I don't know," Kagome sighed,
"Well it's impossible that they know, so…there's no reason for us to act this way," Sango said logically and Kagome nodded.
"You're completely right. Let's go," they left the bathroom and went their separate ways to class, Kagome going to Japanese where Inuyasha would be sitting behind her.
"So what was that about?" Inuyasha asked as she sat down; Kagome blushed but didn't look at him,
"Nothing, I don't know what you're talking about." Inuyasha sighed,
"You and Sango ran screaming when you saw us. What was it about?" he prodded and Kagome screamed internally;
"Nothing, just leave it be!" she got defensive, not wanting to let It slip by accident. The teacher called the class to attention and Inuyasha couldn't bug her anymore. She was grateful for Gym, the only class she had away from Inuyasha, and she pushed herself to do well, wanting to get rid of her nerves with exercise. Mrs. Valeri pulled her aside at one point,
"Kagome, I've noticed that you've started participating more," she said and Kagome nodded,
"Yes, I suppose I have been," she looked around and saw Kikyo glaring from the other side of the Gym.
"Well I'm glad, keep it up," the teacher patted her on the shoulder and walked away.
At lunch Kagome and Sango didn't talk to the guys much, trying to keep their emotions in check without screaming bloody murder.
"So I was thinking we could hang out again this weekend," Inuyasha suggested and Miroku nodded, flinging a fry across the room at one of his friends,
"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing," he said and Kagome and Sango gulped.
"What should we do?" Inuyasha asked and they shrugged,
"We could go to that new café," Sango muttered and the guys nodded,
"Yeah, and then go to a movie- I love you Beth Cooper looks pretty hilarious," Miroku said and the girls almost sprayed their drinks everywhere.
"You realize that's like, a chick flick, right?" Sango coughed and Miroku shrugged,
"It's a comedy too," he argued and they laughed.
"Whatever. We'll meet up in the parking lot on Friday then," Inuyasha said as the warning bell rang, and they off to their classes.
In Politics Kagome talked more to Kouga than usual, trying not to look at Inuyasha, who was clearly pissed about the lack of attention he was getting.
"So what are you doing Saturday, Kagome?" Kouga asked, giving her a seducing look, his cerulean eyes flashing;
"Um-"
"She's with me this weekend, so piss off wolf!" Inuyasha butted in and grabbed Kagome's shoulder, turning her around forcefully to look at the chalkboard.
"Yash?" Kagome questioned, confused at his anger,
"What, Mutt-face? You jealous that she was talking to me?" Kouga said slyly and Inuyasha growled, his temper rising; he wasn't having a good day.
"Like anyone would be jealous of a flea-bag like you," he said roughly, fighting the urge to attack Kouga, who just laughed;
"Whatever you say. Kagome, you just come to me when you're sick of Mutt-face, okay?" Kagome shrugged, trying not to let anything show on her face. She was annoyed with Kouga, thinking she had any interest in him other than a friend, and she was confused by Inuyasha's anger. They were cut off by the teacher and Kagome threw the thoughts to the back of her mind.
In Math Sango and Kagome sat in their seats at the front and Inuyasha watched them from the back,
"I feel like there's a hole in the back of my head," Kagome complained and Sango laughed, agreeing just as the teacher came in, calling the class the attention.
"All right class, today we have a transfer student. Come and introduce yourself now," Mr. Deveau turned to the door and class watched as a tall red-head entered the room.. Her bright green eyes searched the room openly, and her red hair was in pigtails,
"My name's Ayame, nice to meet you," she bowed her head slightly before searching the room again before letting out a slight sigh.
"Well Ayame, you can take the empty seat behind Sango," the teacher pointed and Sango smiled as the girl passed her;
"Hi I'm Sango and this is Kagome," Kagome waved and Ayame smiled.
"Hey, you're in my Politics class," she said, looking at Kagome who stared at her,
"Really? I guess the teacher didn't introduce you," she hadn't noticed the girl in the class before.
"Yeah, this is the only class that I had to do that," Ayame sighed, shaking her head, "I hate it when they make you do that," the three of them laughed before the class started and were cut off.
Okie dokie, I know it's short, but oh well! And I've finally brought Ayame in lol. I've got an idea of how to bring Shippo in, and I think it's a new one lol. Anyways, R&R please!
