Secrets, not so Secret

Quote: "You'll never guess who I'm dating!" - Kagome

Kagome's POV

Is it wrong I feel so bubbly and cheerful?

I feel much like a girl when she could care less because of how awesome she's doing. (At, you know, whatever.)

Finally, the month was over. At least, tomorrow at school, would be the last day. This by far, was the longest month of my life. I found myself listening to music, and humming along while reading a teen magazine. It was about how girls and boys seem to be no different, yet so different.

I heard a knock on my door, and before I could even open my mouth to say "Come in!" or "Who is it?" the person came in. Janis.

"What are you thinking Kagome Higurashi?" She said like a hissing snake. Not literally, she just snapped it so angrily. She was pissed.

"What?" I said, stupidly.

"Damn it, I told you not to date that loser Inuyasha, but nooo! Somebody just had to go on and date the BIGGEST LOSER ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH!" She was full on yelling at me. This, I was not going to take. Then, something hit me.

"You cursed." I said.

"What?" She looked at me with a confused expression. Then the words went through. "Kagome, that is hardly the issue right now, break up with him." She said in a hushed, screaming, angry whisper. Janis never talks like this. I've never seen her this angry before. She slammed my door shut, and walked over to stand in front of me. Seeing as mom didn't yell at Janis for screaming, or slamming the door, I was left under the assumption that she was gone. She must have snuck out when I had my music on, which, was still playing.

Janis slammed her finger on the 'off' button on the radio. "Are you trying to break that? Goodness!" I said, now sitting up. (Previously I was in a laying down position on my bed, on my belly, with my feet swaying to the music in the air.)

"Who CARES? Kagome Higurashi, give me your phone!" She snapped.

"No." I said, crossing my arms.

"I said give me your phone." She hissed.

"Who are you? My mother? I don't need another mom. 1 is more than enough, thank you." I said, sarcastically.

"Kagome Higurashi-" "Quit that." I interrupted Janis.

"What?" She sounded more curious now.

"Calling me by my full name. It's just Kagome." I said. Janis held her ground, now with her hands on her hips.

"Kagome, I told you not to date Inuyasha, but look at you now!" She yelled. "Do you hate me, is that it?" Tears began flooding her eyes. "Or is it that you just don't care who has your heart, and thinks they can control you?" Her voice started to crack. "Kagome, I told you no. Why are you doing this to me, Kagome, why?" Now she was full on crying.

"What did I do?" I got up to try to comfort her. "Leave me alone!" She hit my hand away that had tried to comfort her. "If you want to get hurt that go ahead! Don't you dare come crying to me though, no! I told you, I told you!" Then she ran out of the room.

I went after her though. "Janis!" I called, but she ignored me as she ran to her home, and shut the door in my face. I heard it lock, and then her angry stomps climb stairs.

I found a note on the fridge, from mom, that she was going to the store with Sota because he remembered he had to do a project.

I didn't eat dinner, I just went to bed, and pulled the covers over my head, and tried to make sense of everything.

Inuyasha's POV

I met Kagome on the way to school, and she smiled.

"Janis is pissed." Was the first thing she said to me.

"Who?"

"Janis. My cousin. She was pissed when she found out about us." Kagome sighed, and looked distant. "I don't know how she even found out." She sounded like she was about to cry. Or maybe she had been crying, and still was, I just couldn't see.

"She's weird, Janis, I mean." I said. The words lingered in space for a while, before Kagome grabbed my hand.

"What did I do, Inuyasha? What did I do?" She was holding back tears. Her grip on my hand tightened.

"Kagome…." I didn't know what to say! She was hurt, and I couldn't do anything about it. That pissed me off.

I returned the grip, but a little bit harder.

"Ah, Inuyasha, your hurting my hand." Kagome said.

"Oh, sorry," I said, letting go. Kagome knew I was mad. "Inuyasha, don't be mad at Janis. She's confused." She said tenderly.

It was a quite trip to school.

Kagome's POV

We got to school, and I wanted to kiss Inuyasha on the cheek, but he whispered in my ear he'd like to keep everything about 'us' a secret. It didn't bother me, I agreed.

I dashed to Sango's locker.

"You'll never guess who I'm dating!" I said, happy as ever.

"That one guy in history class who keeps staring at you like a fat kid and cake?" Sango said.

"What-no!" I said. "That's nasty, I hear he once ate frog and cheesecake… at once!"

"EWWWW! And your dating him? He's not good enough for you Kagome!"

"No, we are not dating." I leaned in. "I'm dating Inuyasha!" I whispered happily.

"OHMYGOSHIHAVETOTELLMOREPEOPLE!" (A/N: Translation: OH MY GOSH I HAVE TO TELL MORE PEOPLE!) She said, very fast. I stopped her though, before she could go anywhere.

"It's a secret."

"Right! Se-cr-et!" She smiled. I don't think she was listening at all.

(SCHOOL NEWSPAPER)

Headline: Cutie dates cutie!

Inuyasha is said to now be dating well known new student, Kagome Higurashi. Has she no morals? We all thought they hated each other. Was their something more to that slap she gave Inuyasha on the first day? Word is spreading like wildfire that Kagome is the new Kikyo! (For more detail, see pg. 10)

Kagome's POV

I. Was. Pissed. I couldn't believe it! What the heck? How did word break out? Was it Sango? It had only been a week since we began dating, Inuyasha and I, I mean. Whose the rat? I had to find out. After school on Friday, (the day the school paper comes out) I stomped my way over to Sango's place.

"Hey, Kaggie." She answered the door in sweat pants, and a sweat jacket. It was blue, and her hair was up, tied with a matching bow. She had on sneakers, and was eating an apple as she leaned on the doorway. My eyes lingered on her clothing.

It had to be baby blue, and had white stripes were the stitching was that was keeping it together. It had the words in fancy cursive on the right upper side of the jacket, 'Glamour' on it.

"Sango, did you tell the school paper about Inuyasha and I?" I asked, furious. She looked at me coolly. "And Don't call me Kaggie." I hissed.

"Kagome, I was going to go on a jog." She seemed to be complaining. "Want to join me?" She stood straight, and was cheery.

"Don't avoid the question! Did you, or didn't you!" I almost yelled.

"Of course not! Why would I?" I could tell she was lying by how she had been acting.

"Your lying. How could you?" I felt hot tears come on. I held them back.

"I'm so sorry, Kagome, really, I am! You know Yura? She overheard me telling Kirara. She works for the school paper, and…. I'm sorry. I didn't want to tell you." She seemed so ashamed.

I sighed, I sounded exhausted. With that sigh went my anger. "Lets take a jog, okay?"

I huffed and puffed, and took another drink of water. "Sango, why do you have to run so fast?" I said, I was exhausted.

"I do this once a week every week. Sometimes twice." She said calmly. I was out of breath, and she was fine! I'm so jealous.

"Sango, you think Inuyasha…." I started.

"What?" Sango asked.

"Never mind. It's nothing." I wanted to ask if he would leave me, but then Sango would have just laughed. She had lent me a jogging suit, It was green. Literally, that's just it. No wonder Sango never wore it, it was just too boring.

"Janis started crying after she screamed her head off at me, and then she ran out. She hasn't called me, or texted me, or answered anything. Can you maybe come over to her house with me?" I asked, hopeful.

Sango stopped. Their was a brief pause, then she looked at me, and smiled. "Shore, Kagome, I'd love too. Just one question," she looked directly at me, as I took the moment to lean on my knees and pant. "why is she upset?"

"She hates Inuyasha. I don't know why. She won't listen when I try to tell her he's a good guy." I sounded sad.

Sango put her hand on my shoulder. "I can't imagine why." She smiled.

All I know now, is that Janis needed someone. I don't think I was that someone. But I needed and wanted to be that someone. I had to go to her house, immediately. Even if she kicks me to the curb, I'm going to try. I can't help but wonder though, why was Janis crying?
