Chapter 21

The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows

"Inuyasha we have arrived!" Sango exclaimed as the two of them entered the double doors once again on the first day of their senior year.

"It's really not that exciting Sango." Inuyasha said apathetically and checked out his new schedule, which as usual had a few mistakes. "Hey I'm in freshman girl's PE…sweet!"

Sango laughed and rolled her eyes. The poor freshman girls would be scared out of their wits, when Inuyasha, a semi-popular freshman walked through the door and attempted to play lacrosse with them. It was a great thing to be a senior.

"Hey guys!" Kagome called running toward her friends with Ayame in tow.

"Hey girls." Inuyasha grinned and showed them his new schedule.

"They put you in gym with the freshman girls!" Kagome exclaimed. "No way they put me in sophomore boys…"

"Haha the little pervs are gonna be so excited." Inuyasha smirked.

"Well unlike you, Mr. Pervert I'm going to go to the office to change my schedule." Kagome said.

"Tight assed prude…" Inuyasha teased.

"Jerk face." Kagome countered, sticking out her tongue.

"Now, now children." Sango said getting her books together.. "Can we please try to keep these little squabbles at bay until after our first class?"

"Impossible." Ayame chimed in as Kouga came behind her and wrapped his arms around her.

"Hey red." He smirked and kissed her cheek. "Can I walk you to class?"

"Like you have to ask." She smiled. "See you later guys!"

The happy couple walked hand in hand together down the hallway.

"Wow can you believe they're still together." Sango said, watching the couple disappear turning a corner.

"Yeah, they actually lasted through the summer." Inuyasha realized.

"No, I mean they've broken up a lot, but they're still together after four years. It's insane. How did they become the grades golden couple?" Sango wondered out loud.

"Golden couple. Oh please…" Inuyasha scoffed.

"Well they are, Kouga's a total jock and Ayame's captain of the cheer squad this year. They're the definition of the popular power couple."

"I can't believe we're discussing the politics of high school romance." Kagome sighed.

"Anyway…I gotta go to class. See you two later!" Sango said and ran off.

"So Kagome…" Inuyasha started with a big grin on his face. "Not discussing the politics of high school romance because of a certain naughty tryst that…"

"Don't even start Inuyasha." She cut him off. "That was over a year ago. I'm totally over it…will I ever live it down?"

"Now what kind of fun would that be?" Inuyasha smirked.

"Poop head!" Kagome pouted and walked away from him.

"Kagome don't walk away from me!" He whined. "We both have the same homeroom!"


Sesshoumaru called Kagura during his lunch break to check on her. That morning she said she wasn't feeling too well. He had dropped off Rin at day care and would take care of the grocery shopping that afternoon. Sesshoumaru noticed that Kagura had been giving him a lot of excuses lately. He was beginning to feel like something was going on…

"Hey Kag, How you feeling?" He asked the moment his wife answered the fone.

"Huh?" Kagura said, sounding confused, but well.

"You do remember how sick you were this morning right?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Oh right…sorry I'm a little dazed." She coughed.

"Kagura…I though you had a stomach ache." He sighed, beginning to catch her in yet another lie.

"Well it must be the flu or something…" Kagura said too quickly.

"Yeah it must be." Sesshoumaru swallowed. "I'll see you tonight. Feel better."

"Thanks."

"Bye." Sesshoumaru hung up, feeling stupid and frustrated. He threw his stapler against his cubicle wall, causing a few coworkers to stare. "Damn." He simply said and went back to his work.


At lunch Kikyo sat with solemnly with a few girls her age who considered themselves to be her close friends, her posse, her clique.

They were very wrong.

The one mistake Kikyo made in high school was associating herself with all upperclassmen. She hadn't realized this until last year when she realized how boring it was with out Bankotsu, Jaken, Sesshoumaru, Sara, her ex-friend Tsubaki and even Naraku. While she had remained popular she was as happy or as excited to be so she became an upperclassman herself.

She guessed that being friends with the older kids made her a lot more mature than her fellow classmates.

She couldn't say that out loud of course, people thought she was snotty enough.

Still she wished she could be more comfortable with everyone her age, though none of her class seemed to be anymore mature than they were four years ago.

Maybe she was that snotty after all…


"I can't believe this. Three essays and two tests scheduled on the first day of school! This is blasphemy!" Inuyasha exclaimed slamming his lunch tray on the table.

"Well they want us to be prepared for college entrance exams. You know that Yash!" Kagome said.

"Feh. It's still annoying as hell. I'm tired of working my ass off. I can't wait to get into college so I can relax."

"I can't wait to visit college!" Kagome exclaimed. "We're all going together for a weekend right?"

"I'm in, though it's not happening for another couple of months Kagome." Sango said.

"For sure we're going I can't wait!" Inuyasha added.

"The next few months are gonna fly by…oh man it's gonna be the best weekend ever!" Kagome said, ever optimistic.

Inuyasha and Sango happily agreed.
