Chapter 13- It's Simple, Really

Kagome

Ever since the incident with Kikyo, Inuyasha and I have been weirdly been closer. He now is often talking to me with his friends, and at the same lunch table. Today, I sat with Sango. It was a nice change of pace. Lately, Inuyasha has been avoiding me like I was the Black Plague and if I touched him he would die. He's just weird like that, so I have ignored it. Sango has been sitting and gossiping her head off, saying that Brenna Blake dumped her boyfriend, and some other random drivel I didn't want to listen to.

"Hey, Sango, have you seen Ayame? She hasn't come to lunch yet." I said, cutting Sango off.

"As a matter of fact, I haven't. Should we look for her?" Sango asked.

"No."

"Why?"
I pointed. Ayame Inutoru, tough girl, the girl who said 'I-won't-cry-over-anything' Ayame. Very unusual sight if you ask me.

"What's wrong Ayame?"

"My boyfriend dumped me, the insensitive jerk."

"No need to go on, Ayame. If you want, I'll beat him up." Sango offered. Ayame and I laughed, knowing full well that Sango was a black belt in karate and could severely hurt somebody if she wanted to.

"No...no, it's fine."

As if on cue, Koga the Flirt sat by Ayame, waggling his eyebrows suggestively. Koga was known to flirt endlessly with any given girl at any given time. Hell, he would flirt with a lamp if it was possible...(also if that was considered sane.)

"Hey, baby. You free Satuday?" Koga asked, inching steadily closer to Ayame.

"Get the hell away from me, Wolf. You are not wanted here!" She pused him away.

"I'm hurt! Really, Ayame!" Koga said, feigning hurt.

"Whatever. I'm not in the mood." She got up and sat at a different table.

"Looks like I'm not wanted here." Koga left.

Sango and I exchanged glances. We both knew that both Koga and Ayame had some kind of feeling for each other. It was painfully obvious actually. Ever since I got here at this boarding school, my best friends were Sango and Ayame. The first days of school were fun, and whenever Ayame started to talk with me and Sango, Koga would soon be not to far behind, ready to ask Ayame on a date. Obviously, she had always turned the poor guy down. She came close once to saying 'yes', but that is a whole different story. Sango and I both agreed that we should get them together no matter what. Our deadline? Christmas.

Inuyasha

I haven't been talking to Kagome lately. She seemsto be hanging out with Ishiyama and Inutoru more often. As I sit alone, Koga decides to sit across from me.

"Inu, my buddy! Looking at Higurashi's ass again?"

"I am not looking at Kagome's butt!"

"Sure you aren't..."

"What do you want?"
"You like her don't ya?
I don't answer, and I give him a growl.

"I'll take that as a 'yes'. For the incredibly low price of six hundred yen, I'll get you and Miss Higurashi together by Christmas. I'll even give you a 30 day money back guarentee!"
"600 yen!" He wishes that was a bargain...

"It's a deal, then."

Gulp! This is gonna be one long December!

A/N: 600 yen, estimated, comes out to about 5 U.S dollars. If that's not completely accurate, I apologize! (HAHAHA! Cliffie!)

I would have updated sooner, but school got in the way! Since I'm on winter break, I'll be able to update more. As always, reviews are appriciated! Merry (almost) Christmas, happy third day of Hannukah, merry Kwanza, happy New Year! Happy holidays!

Until Chapter 14,
