Wow it's been a long time huh? Sorry about that but inspiration finally struck me today. And just in time for New Years! So I hope you enjoy and Happy New Years everyone!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, only the idea for this story.
*~*~ On Sunday:
"I'm telling you Miroku something is up with those girls, especially Kagome" Inuyasha said on the phone line.
"Yeah I know. Sango wouldn't let me out of sight all night and it seemed like every time I even thought about another girl she just started dancing even sexier. I mean I don't mind of course, but when has she ever done that?" Inuyasha was silent on the other end. "I'll tell you my friend" Miroku continued "never!"
"Haha yeah I could tell. Kagome kept trying to get me to dance with her too but at the same time she kept ditching me to dance with that creep Hojo."
"Well after that stunt he pulled at his party, I don't think that will be happening again anytime soon."
Inuyasha growled. "He better hope I don't catch him talking to Kagome."
"Yeah" Miroku agreed "even I'd be willing to scratch these beautiful hands for Kagome."
"Wow" Inuyasha snorted "you mean you'd actually break a nail for someone how gracious of you."
"Yeah I know right, it comes with the best friend title. Anyways, I gotta go, I have important business to attend to."
"Yeah whatever I'll talk to you later bye." With that they hung up.
*~*~ On Monday:
Kagome was standing at her locker talking to Sango on Monday morning. "So I'm officially ungrounded now" Kagome told Sango.
"That's great, and we're not going to see Kikyo until next week." "Bonus!" the girls said in unison.
"So Sango even though my time at the party sucked what about yours, I saw you and Miroku dancing the night away."
"Yeah it was fun but he started acting kind of weird towards the end. Maybe I shouldn't have been so pushy; I mean I didn't let him leave my sight even once."
"So no luck with the bet then?"
"What bet?" Miroku cut in.
The girls jumped. "Nothing!" they said. "Bet?" Sango asked. "What bet?" Kagome finished.
"There's a bet going on?" Inuyasha appeared and joined in.
"Oh my God no" Kagome yelled defensively.
"Ok ok jeez" Inuyasha held up his hands in defense "sorry." Then the bell rang to signal the start of the school day.
*~*~ At lunch with the boys:
"Miroku my instincts are telling me that the girls' weird behavior has something to do with some sort of bet."
"Yeah because I distinctively heard the girls talking about a bet before I walked up to them. I think we should investigate this."
"I agree, hey where are those two anyway?"
*~*~ With Kagome:
Kagome was walking quickly down the hall. She knew she was really late meeting up with the rest of the group and she figured they'd already left without her.
"Hey Kagome!"
'Wow Déjà vu' she thought. She turned around ready to punch the person that was calling her name and now running up to her. "Back off! If you try any sudden moves I'll knock your teeth out Hojo."
"Kagome" said the panting boy "Kagome I wanted to say I'm sorry. I heard about what I did at my party the very next day. I was so far gone I didn't remember a thing when I woke up until my friend Kenji told me about it in the morning. I would've called you that day but to be honest I was still really embarrassed."
"Wait Kenji as in Miroku's older cousin?"
"Uh yeah, did you hear anything else I just said?"
"Yes but I'm not exactly willing to forgive you just yet. And seriously, Kenji? We couldn't find him at all that night, that jerk!"
"Uh yeah so anyways I was wondering if that date was still an option."
"You're kidding right?" Kagome asked in disbelief. "How could you even think that option was ever on the table? Especially now you pig!"
"Because you like me right, or at least you did?"
"I never liked you!"
"But you were always so nice to me."
"Yeah it's called being friendly you idiot!"
"Well what about at my party you were all over me!"
"Oh my God I was using you!" Kagome broke the Dam of Secrecy within her brain and it all poured out of her mouth before her brain could catch up with what she was saying. "Sango and I made a bet that involved kissing Miroku and Inuyasha and I used you to make Inuyasha jealous so I could get what I needed to win the bet!"
Hojo didn't say anything; he just stared beyond Kagome wide-eyed. Suddenly it all hit him at once and he smiled deviously. "Something tells me you're going to lose that bet." He pointed behind Kagome and when she turned around to look, standing there at the end of the hall was none other than Inuyasha and Miroku.
Kagome stared at then dumbfounded. "You guys…"
She started to talk but Inuyasha cut her off. "Save it! You deserve whatever Hojo was about to do to you that night you two-faced bitch!"
"Inuyasha it's not what you think! Let me explain!"
"Everything you just told Hojo was explanation enough for me. I can't believe I ever trusted you enough to become your friend!"
"I guess we know what the bet was now" Miroku said. They started storming off but before Miroku left he turned around and yelled to Kagome: "and tell Sango our kiss meant absolutely nothing!" Then he ran off after Inuyasha.
Kagome turned around and saw that Hojo had run off. 'Coward…' she thought. She had tears brimming in the corners of her eyes. Then she started walking and when she rounded the corner she found a girl slumped against the lockers crying. Kagome stopped, "Oh god, Sango…" The crying Sango looked up at her best friend and Kagome started crying too. "I'm so sorry Sango." She slumped down next to her and hugged her.
"It was bound to come out some time" Sango sniffled "I just never thought it'd be this bad."
"I know" Kagome said as she held her crying friend. "Well at least you won." The two laughed bitterly.
I hope you liked it! Please let me know by reviewing! Because I'll never know how you feel if you don't tell me! :) R&R
