So, I was reading all my previous reviews while blowing away into my Kleenex and they were all able to put a smile on my face. Your guy's reviews are hilarious I must say. For most funniest reviewer it's a tie between two. (No I won't say who. :p )
Author's Notes: I don't own the song Thank You, by Dido or InuYasha. Please read, review, and enjoy.
" My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all." Kagome sang as she washed her hair in the shower the next day after leaving InuYasha's house. She didn't feel right keeping anything from her mom so she told her why she had been at InuYasha's and not at home. Like she predicted, her mother was completely okay with what went down. She was a female also and could relate to the pain Kagome must had went through. Before they left the mansion, Mrs. Higurashi had paid InuYasha back for the pads he had bought for her daughter. Of course he refused to accept the money but she forcefully shoved it into his hands and was out the door.
Mrs. Higurashi didn't play those games and she always got whatever it was that she desired. "The morning rain clouds up my window; and I can't see at all." Today was the day that Kagome started her first day at Victoria's Secret. She was scared and excited all at once. But first came education, the boring six hours she had to suck up, rest for an hour, then off to work she went. Well on the bright side, Summer Vacation was coming up rather close. "And even if I could it would all be gray. But your picture on my wall...It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad..."

Singing rather horribly, Kikyo scrubbed her body with a sponge. " I drank too much last night, got bills to pay, my head just feels in pain." she was super excited for prom that was in two days. She had already picked out a dress that took seventeen hours and twenty minutes to find. This was a big day for her. She was determined to be crowned Prom Queen. She had her shoes custom-made and she even picked out what perfume she would wear that night. She didn't bother asking InuYasha which kinds of perfumes stung his nose. She decided that all that mattered was if she liked the smell. "I missed the bus and there'll be hell today, I'm late for work again..." Kikyo had tried calling InuYasha all day yesterday but he never once answered his phone. She didn't see Kagome at school either and decided to put two and two together. She growled deeply ready to kill that Higurashi. She swore, if she found out the two spent the whole day together well...a cat fight was about to breakout. "and even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day." Kikyo shut off the shower, pressing a towel to her face and sighed. She hoped InuYasha hadn't actually been with her enemy. "and then you call me and it's not so bad, It's not so bad...AND-"
"Onee-Chan! Kikyo!" Kaede, Kikyo's younger sister cried on the other side of the bathroom door with her hands pressed tightly against her ears. "Please stop singing! My ears can't take the pain!"
Kikyo growled opening the door in nothing but a towel wrapped around her head and glared down at her younger sister.
"Please... save that sight for your boyfriend!" She begged shielding her eyes. "Me no wanna see all that!" She cried running downstairs.
Kikyo smirked looking down at herself and walked to her room humming.

" You're a talented singer Kagome." Her mother complimented pouring her a glass of milk.
Kagome blushed, slowly nibbling on her piece of toast. Perhaps she should sing more quietly while in the shower.
"Good thing too." Souta said gnawing at his pancakes. "Who else is going to sing her and InuYasha's baby to sleep. Definitely not InuYasha that's for sure."
All the milk consumed into Kagome's mouth quickly pulled out like a waterfall.
"Oh Kagome! Your school shirt is ruined! Go change into a different one dear." Her mother lectured lightly rushing her upstairs. "Wouldn't want to be late for school!"
Kagome just stared at her brother in pure shock as to what he said; not bothering to wipe the leftover milk off her face as she went upstairs to change her shirt.
"You're crazy if you think I'm going to let my granddaughter bed with a demon and carry his mutant child! Absurd!" Gramps angrily argued stabbing his butter knife into the tub of butter.
"It's okay Gramps." Souta said pouring more syrup onto his pancakes. "InuYasha's only a half demon."
"Bah! I don't care what he is! Half breed or full fledged demon! Kagome belongs with another mortal!"
"You used to like him when they were in elementary..." Souta pointed out. "Well, that's what mom told me."
"Nonsense. I hid my opinion for Kagome's sakes."
"So when InuYasha and Kagome get married you won't give them your blessing!" Mrs. Higurashi cried in disbelief.
Upstairs in Kagome's bathroom she heard her mother's words and pushed the water out of her mouth like a water fall that had been used to rinse her mouth from brushing her teeth.
"Kagome dear? Did you spill again?" Mrs. Higurashi asked. "Goodness...I think there is one more clean shirt in the dryer."

"Yeah it was a pretty weird morning." Kagome confessed to her friend Sango at lunch.
"Hey Shango..." Miroku said leaning on her and holding up a tuna sandwich that looked like it had been made by a five year old. "You wanna bite of my sandwich?"
"Uh...I'll pass."
"Who wants to play dare or dare!" Miroku called out. So obviously he didn't quite understand the purpose of a lunch period meaning...you eat.
"Don't you mean Truth or Dare?" InuYasha asked picking through his food then finally giving up and slid it to Kikyo.
"Perhaps I meant neither and what I really meant was Truth or Truth..." He said rubbing his chin with his fingers.
". . ."
" You're an idiot Miroku." InuYasha said after the few seconds of silence.
"Okay Kagome! Truth or Truth?" Miroku asked ignoring InuYasha.
"Uh truth?"
"Hm...very brave choice Kagome..."
"If you say so." She said rather bored.
"If you were trapped in an elevator with InuYasha-"
"I'm not playing this game anymore." Kagome said turning her whole body around, with her back facing towards Miroku. She had a feeling that question would be perverted.
" Ew, Kagome did you just fart?" Kikyo asked plugging her nose.
"What! NO!"
"This is by far the weirdest lunch ever..." Kanna commented on.
" Miroku?" InuYasha asked.
"Why yes InuYasha?"
"What are you thinking about right now?"
"Shango's boobs."
"I thought so..."
"What is with you people?" Kagome sighed.
"I don't think Miroku took his pills today." Sango predicted.
" Hey I don't take pills!"
" You told me you did!"
"Oh..."
"I'm going to go get a soda." Kagome decided getting up. She sure had some weird friends.
"I'll come with you." Kikyo said, removing herself from InuYasha's lap. Everyone at the lunch table shared a strange look.
Kagome tried her hardest in getting out all of the creases in her dollar then slipped it into the vending machine.
"So...Kagome."
"What do want Kikyo?" Kagome said sounding bored.
"Look; I'll get straight to the point. Our volleyball team had to sit out yesterday because you went missing all of a sudden! Where were you?"
"I went home early." Kagome shrugged while making a selection and pressing one of the buttons on the machine.
Kikyo thought for a second. She had to get Kagome to tell the truth and see if she actually was with InuYasha. In all honestly, she couldn't care less if the volleyball team sat out.
"Why?"
"Why are you being so nosy?"
"Where was InuYasha?"
"He didn't go to school."
"Why didn't my boyfriend answer any of my calls yesterday! And you better not say you don't know because I know you do!"
" I was cramping and InuYasha said he would pick me up. Maybe his phone died or something." Kagome guessed grabbing her soda and popping it open. That's all she needed to hear.
"Stay away from my boyfriend!" Kikyo said knocking the drink out of Kagome's hand causing her to gasp.
"I can hang out with my best friend all I want! Kikyo! Who do you think you are telling me what I can and cant do!"
"Look, when Shiori dated InuYasha she told you to stay away wh-"
"Shiori!" Kagome snorted. "That was years ago. What does that have to do with all of this!"
"Kami! Kagome let me finish! When I told you to stay away you STILL didn't listen! InuYasha doesn't need you, he has me!"
"Why is it that the two girls that InuYasha has dated cannot stand the idea that InuYasha has other people he hangs out with! It isn't just about devoting yourself to your lover!"
"He can have friends! But it's not necessary to hang out with you all the damn time!"
"Kikyo! You're being ridiculous."
"No! I'm a worried girlfriend. How do I know you didn't sleep with my boyfriend all those hours that you spend together!"
"Yeah! Well how does InuYasha know you aren't a two-timing girlfriend with that guy Onigumo!"
SLAP!
The anger just built up in Kikyo a little too long than she could handle.
"Take it back you bitch!" There was no way she was going to let InuYasha find out about that.
Kagome brought a hand to her cheek in utmost shock. She couldn't believe this was happening. Never in her life would she actually think she would get in a school fight. All those years in middle school she had avoided them. InuYasha and her weren't even dating and yet here she was getting into piles of trouble. Kagome glared deeply at Kikyo with nothing but hatred in her eyes. She had her blood boiling. And...she wasted her soda that cost a dollar. That was unforgivable!
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" A small crowd of kids had already formed around Kikyo and Kagome. Some guys had their phones pulled out for the awesome panty shots they would get from the girls if things got downright dirty in those short school uniforms.
'Do...I take the first punch? Can I even punch correctly...? Mama's going to be so angry when she hears about this.'
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
"Come on Higurashi! You scared!" Kikyo asked rolling up her sleeve.
Kagome threw her fist as hard as she could, tired of waiting. But her fist never made contact with Kikyo's face. A larger, clawed fist had caught her hand before she could do any damage.
'InuYasha...'
"You really wanna get kicked out of school!" He said rather angry. Miroku had held Kikyo in place so she didn't do anything. "You're lucky no monitors were around to see you slap Kagome, Kikyo!"
"Can't leave these girls alone for a second can you." Miroku laughed.
InuYasha rolled his eyes; ears twitching at the sound of the bell ringing indicating that lunch was over. InuYasha released Kagome's hand and slung his arm around Kikyo's shoulder making her walk.
"Come on Kikyo. I'll walk you to class." He said glancing back at Kagome one last time.

"Now when you think of the Holocaust you begin to wonder if it'll ever happen again." Kagome's history teacher informed walking between the desks in her extra high heels. "It's possible considering that they have so many concentration camps in America. But what can we do to be prepared- Ashton!" She called.
"Um...Pray?"
"That's one thing. Very good."
Kagome sat at her desk with her head perched up in the palm of her hand. She suspected that InuYasha was angry with her considering the glace he gave her and walking Kikyo to class instead of walking her. Kikyo's outburst had scared her. It reminded her of the one Hojo had given her at the store when she went to buy movies for her and InuYasha to watch. Was having a best friend with you all the time considered bad? Sango tried cheering her up and said all those people who have a problem with their friendship are just jealous. Kagome pondered around that idea which actually sounded pretty logical. She couldn't relate though if she was in Kikyo's position. She wouldn't care if InuYasha hung out with another girl all the time. Okay...it depended how long but still that's not the point.
"Ka-go-me?" Her teacher sang. "Want to add?"
"Uh...I think the world is loosing it's freedom all together."
"very good opinion Kagome."
"Thank you sensei"
Kagome felt her phone vibrate and immediately her heart sped up hoping that her teacher didn't hear. She waited until she was turned around to look at her phone.
'One new text message?'
Kagome unlocked her phone, the password being inuyasha, and looked at her inbox.
'Oh great, a text from InuYasha...' She grumbled hoping it wasn't going to be a really mean text.
Text: So...wat caused the fight this time xD ? I won't always get there in time before one of u get hurt ya know.
Kagome sighed in relief that he didn't sound angry. But you couldn't always assume that when it came to text messages. Emotions were hard to tell unless you added emoticons, which he did...
Kagome texted back: ' It's like the Shiori thing all over again T_T "Leave my Inuyasha alone!" XD lol. I'm glad you stopped the fight though. I really would've gotten killed o.o'
"Teacher alert." One of Kagome's fellow classmates whispered to her. She liked this kid. If she ever fell asleep in this class he would be the one to wake her up before the bell rang and he always let her know when the teacher was walking near her if she was texting.
Kagome hid the phone under her binder and smiled at the kid. "Thanks Byakuya."
"No problem." He smirked with a shake of his head.
Once the teacher turned her back Kagome again pulled out her phone.
' Jeez...I'll have a talk with Kikyo alright? Good luck at your first day at Victoria's secret...' Kagome formed a smile as she read the text message in her mind. She suddenly gained enough motivation to survive her first day at work.
"Alright everyone open to page 179 in your text books. Share if you must. I seem to keep loosing my books."
Kagome put away her phone getting out her text book. She felt more at ease knowing that InuYasha wasn't angry with her that she attempted to punch his girlfriend.

"So...I got this friend." InuYasha began while he tried putting together a water molecule model together with his partner in his science class.
"Mhm..." His partner, Hiten said indicating him to go on though he seemed too engrossed in his work.
"Pretty hot." InuYasha laughed nervously with a nod.
"Go on..."
"Who's...kinda looking for a date to prom."
"I already got a date bro."
"Oh." InuYasha frowned. 'Kami this is going to be harder than I thought. "Well. Never mind then."
"What would happen if I told Kikyo that you said your 'friend' was 'pretty hot.' ?"
InuYasha glared and stopped working on the project. "You wouldn't dare..."
"I kinda would. Unless however..." Hiten held out his hand to emphasize what he wanted.
"I hate you." He grumbled, shoving crumbled up dollars he had in his pocket into Hiten's hand.
"Nice chat we had InuYasha."
"Yeah...whatever." He grumbled.

The school bell rang for the billionth time that day indicating last period. InuYasha grabbed his binder and slowly walked to health class with Kikyo and Miroku. Lucky him, he got health with Miroku... Not. Having Miroku in your health class would probably be the worst experience ever. He asked nonstop questions about this and that; all things which he probably already knew the answer too but just wanted to hear it again.
Kikyo kissed InuYasha with deep passion before the late bell rang.
Not like it was a surprise but health was Miroku's favorite class. Especially when they got to talking about the female anatomy. InuYasha sat in the middle of the classroom next to Miroku and took out his health journal.
"Any luck finding Kagome a date to prom?"
"Nope. All the guys I've confronted just tell me they are either taken, tell me to just take her, or know her and just don't want to go with her."
"That sucks."
"Right? Oh well. I have one more day to find someone. I'm not going to give up yet."
"That's the spirit Yash."
"You're going with Sango I suppose?"
"Yup. And hopefully our purity and innocence is gone by the next day if you know what I mean..." He said wiggling his eyebrows. "A little somethin' somethin'."
"Yeah, yeah. I get it." InuYasha said waving him off. "I would prefer if you kept that information to yourself."
"Suit yourself."
"I will thanks."
"No need to be a pooder head."
"..."
"Good afternoon class." Mr. SumiKashi greeted while doing the Hula into the classroom. Yep...that earned a lot of stares from his students. "Today we'll be talking about- yes Miroku? You have a question?" He stopped mid sentence when seeing Miroku's hand up way in the air and had a stupid smile on his face.
InuYasha slammed his head on the desk and sighed. 'Not again...'
"Yes Mr. SumiKashi. I do have a question." Miroku clarified clearing his throat. "How are babies made again?"
"An excellent and very important question in knowing Miroku!"
'Kami...please let this class be over soon.' InuYasha groaned staring up at the ceiling.

"Now I want you to paint a picture of something that makes you angry." Kagome's art teacher instructed perched up on her desk.
Kagome laughed evilly in her head and began drawing Kikyo.
Sango looked over at Kagome's easel with wide eyes and swiped her paint brush on her own.
"Uh..."
The whole class began staring at Kagome while she quietly evil laughed with a scary expression plastered on her face while she painted.
The art teacher smoothly made her way around the room looking at all the easels and saw many different drawings. Some were drawings of kids parents, others were of...popcorn?
"Mikashi? Popcorn makes you angry...?"
"Yeah! I cant stand it! It always burns ever time I make it and kernels are still popping when I take the bag out of the microwave and it scares me and ugh!"
"Good expressing your emotions Mikashi. An A+ for the day."
"Woohoo."
"Kagome? You still mad about what happened in the lunch room?" Sango asked coloring in her picture after drawing the outlines.
" A little. She had no reason for yelling at me."
" I'm sure you'll forget all about it at your first day at work."
"I'm not as excited as I used to be." Kagome frowned.
" Trust me, getting that very first paycheck feels like a huge accomplishment."
"I didn't know you had a job Sango."
"I don't anymore." Sango laughed. "I quit a long time ago."
"Why's that?"
"Because Miroku would stare at me outside the store all day like a stalker. It was super creepy so I left."
"Aw...He must really love you Sango."
"That's stalking! That aint love dear."
"It's better than nothing." Kagome smiled drawing a mustache on Kikyo's face.
"Oh you got something. You just don't know it."
"If only that were really true Sango..."
"Uh...but...it is. You just don't want to believe it." Sango said confused. Was Kagome that clueless to how InuYasha acted towards her?
"If only. If only." Kagome sighed.
' You're an idiot sometimes Kags...' Sango said mentally stepping back to look at her portrait of Miroku groping her. Yep...the one thing that definitely made her angry.
Quick update huh? ;) I got this done, cleaned the whole house, and finally did laundry. Today was a busy day... This was meant too be some-what of a serious chapter but I'm sure you could tell I don't like making things too serious and add tons of humor. I think I rushed alittle so there's no need to tell me T_T InuYasha hater is coming to see me tomorrow so can't guarantee a new chapter tomorrow. If it's not too much to ask leave a review please. ~さわやかな - and that says my name :3 Bye!
