Author's Note: Okay, because of the title, I have a dumb question for you guys. Do you ever hum your background music when you do something? Like if you're climbing stairs, you hum Mission Impossible or something? You don't have to answer, I just do that all the time. Anyway, Review Reply . . . What starts with an R? Recycle . . . Reunion . . . Oh whatever!

italian4e - I'm glad you like it! This chapter will probably make you laugh. But that's my opinion since I laughed at it.

Lululuvsanime13 - Yeah, Kanna will be the type of girl who's shy and quiet in class, but talkative around friends. You'll probably find loads of random things in this story. And WHY is the word waffles funny?? Who knows, cuz I don't!

Inuyasha fan2789 - I'll read your story! I'm a sucker for Inuyasha fanfics, especially if it's an Inu/Kag pairing! One of these chapters, Kikyou will probably get run over . . . No, I'm not that mean, but who knows?

TheDarkDancer - Kool-aid powder, huh? Now THAT'S ONE AWESOME SCHOOL! Lol, sorry about that. That idea with Kagome having a box of waffles in her backpack just came to my head while I was staring at the freezer door. Now that I think about it, I have a strange way of getting inspiration.

Daisy19971 - Everyone loves randomness, and I like waffles. Like I said, a lot of random things will just pop up in the chapters so you don't sit there at the computer, staring at the computer screen like a zombie.

crazyfroggster8 - Yup, Inuyasha's in his human form. Everyone is pure human. It just makes it easier for me.

Diamond369 - The 2 teens I wrote in the preview will most likely come up when the gang meets a new character.

KPup618 - Waffles is such a funny word. So is nachos. Wow, I love that word so much. The most random thing for you to say during a conversation is a food item.

i.LOVE.to.READ. duh.XD - Nobody likes math, yet some pass it no problem. And Malaysia? I am NOT good at geography or different languages, so I basically don't know anything. :D

Wow, I talk, or write a lot. And I'm furious because my damn locker won't ever open! So, I had to walk around with a binder from Spanish, and a Geometry textbook for like 3 hours! And it finally opened AFTER school! Okay, enough of my infuriated rambling. MOVING ON!!

A Dumb Question

Kagome, Ayame, and Sango got their lunches and stood in the middle of the cafeteria. "Where do we sit?" Sango wondered aloud while looking around. The girls looked around until they heard a familar voice.

"Hey, Sango, Kagome, Ayame." Miroku walked up to the girls and pointed across the cafeteria to a table near the exit. "The guys and I are sitting over there. We were waiting for you."

"Oh, thanks!" Sango said as she and the girls followed Miroku to their six-chaired circular table and sat down.

"Thanks for saving us seats," Ayame said, dipping a french fry into some ketchup before popping it in her mouth.

"We were wondering where the heck you were," Kouga said. Everyone began eating their hamburgers and fries. Kagome was the only one at the table with water to drink while everyone else had a soda.

"Hey, Kagome, don't you ever drink soda?" Miroku asked.

"No, I don't like soda." Kagome shook her head.

"What?" Ayame slammed a fist on the table and held up one finger. "The number one rule of being a teenager is to drink soda. What's the matter with you?"

Kagome shrugged. "I don't know. I just don't like it."

"Would you guys rather ride a unicorn or a dragon?" Sango randomly questioned, staring off into space.

"What?" Inuyasha asked.

"That was a dumb question to ask, Sango," Ayame commented.

"Huh?" Sango looked around. "Oh, no, I didn't mean to say it out loud. I was reading off of that kid's magazine over there." She nodded her head towards a chubby boy holding a magazine of comics with some advertisements and polls dotting the pages.

"It's still a dumb question," Kouga said after a moment of silence.

Ayame nearly spat out her soda, as she chuckled without opening her mouth. Kagome, who was using a straw to drink from her water bottle, giggled through the straw, blowing some bubbles into her drink. The girls' actions made Inuyasha and Kouga laugh, which made Miroku scoff. Sango laughed at Ayame, who was still struggling to keep the liquid in her mouth while laughing.

"Ow, I have a stomach cramp!" Kagome laughed out. This made everyone laugh out loud once again. Pretty soon, everyone calmed down and continued eating lunch.

After she finished eating, Ayame opened another soda. She was about to drink it when Kikyou suddenly walked up and spilled her soda all over Ayame's clothes. Ayame gasped and Kikyou cackled.

As Kikyou walked past Inuyasha, she tugged a strand of his hair and seductively purred, "Hey, Inuyasha. Lookin' good." Then she walked away. Inuyasha shivered at the fact that the popular mean girl with VERY cold fingers had a crush on him.

"Ayame, are you okay?" Kagome asked worriedly as she got up from her seat and put her hands on Ayame's shoulders.

"Oh, no! I can't be seen with soda all over me!" Ayame whispered. She crossed her arms over her chest to try to hide the stains, but it didn't work.

"C'mon, let's go back to the room and you can change." Inuyasha stood up and took Ayame's arm. He and Kagome stood in front of Ayame so no one saw her wet, brown clothes. When they got to the room, Ayame turned to her friends and thanked them. Then, she went inside the room. Kagome and Inuyasha began to walk back to the cafeteria and Kagome was furious.

"Damn that Kikyou!" Kagome yelled.

"Calm down, Kagome. There's loads of people that you have to watch out for. Like nerds, popular people, perverts-" Inuyasha was cut off by Kagome backing away from him. "What?"

"Aren't you a popular person?" Kagome asked, still keeping her distance.

"No, popular people just like me."

"Why aren't you with them?"

"I'd have to leave all of my friends and they'll make me be a playboy."

"A playboy?"

"Yeah, a playboy is a guy who dates a lot of girls."

"In other words, a pervert?"

"Yup."

"Are you one?" Kagome teased.

Inuyasha played along. "Yeah, I'm gonna grope you to death."

"If you can catch me!" Kagome began running down the hall to the elevator. She went down to the first floor and continued running towards the lunchroom. Suddenly, Inuyasha jumped up in front of her and grabbed her (into kind of a hug if you were watching them).

"Got'cha," Inuyasha said.

"Darn it!" Kagome snapped her fingers. Inuyasha let her go and they walked into the cafeteria.

An ungroomed boy unexpectedly came up to the two friends. The guy had long tangled, greasy black hair, narrow reddish eyes, and gothic-style clothes. He went up to Kagome and took hold of her hands. Inuyasha clenched his fists in anger. "Hi, my name's Naraku. And who might you be?" he asked.

"U-um . . . Kagome," she stuttered. She was a little nervous and creeped out by this kid who was suddenly holding her hands.

"Pleased to meet you, Kagome," he said.

Kagome felt a little bit of pressure behind her. She looked down and nearly screamed. Naraku was groping her! (By the way, I made Naraku a pervert. lol) She yelped, pulled her hands free, and ran to the best protection that she had. Inuyasha. Kagome threw herself at Inuyasha and put her hands on his chest. She was now scared of this perverted dude who called himself Naraku. Kagome felt Inuyasha wrapping his arms around her, as if protecting her.

"Naraku, get away from Kagome. If you touch her one more time, I'll kick your ass," Inuyasha threatened. Naraku ran off to his table on the other side of the cafeteria. Inuyasha looked down and was surprised that Kagome would go to him for protection. Kagome had her face buried into his shirt, scared to death of the lech.

"Is he gone?" Kagome asked timidly. Her voice was muffled through his shirt.

"Yeah, he's gone." Inuyasha laid a hand on the back of Kagome's head.

Thirty seconds later, Kagome said, "Um . . . Inuyasha? You can let go of me now."

Inuyasha blushed and released her. "Oh, sorry."

"Let me guess, he's the school pervert?" Kagome asked and looked across the lunchroom to where Naraku was sitting.

"Yeah, you have to watch out for that sneaky bastard," Inuyasha said, narrowing his eyes. "Let's go." The two friends walked over to their table and sat down. The others saw what happened between the pervert and their amigos. (Yay, amigos! Um, sorry, off topic . . . um, carry on!)

"Is Ayame okay?" Sango asked, pretending that she never witnessed the physical contact between the teens.

"Yeah, she's getting dressed in the room right now," Kagome said while sitting down.

"Okay, good. That damn Kikyou is being a real pain in the butt," Sango said. I have to tell Ayame about the Inuyasha-Kagome huggie. Then, I'll ask Kagome about it and make her get SO embarrassed, she thought, her evil mind starting to operate in her head.

Everyone had finished eating lunch, and they decided to wait for Ayame. Ayame finally walked into the cafeteria wearing a white tank top, blue jean shorts, and white flip flops and had her hair up in two pigtails.

"Thanks for waiting for me, guys," Ayame said.

"No problem, we're your friends. The three amigos," Kagome said as the females walked to science class with the boys following behind.

"The three musketeers," Ayame agreed.

"Yeah, the three blind mice!" Sango chanted in. Her friends stared at her. "Well, that's not really fair. You guys took all of the good ones."
