Bangin'
Chapter 26
*****
Three seemingly long weeks had passed and it seemed that Kagome had finally been in the clear with Tsubaki. She hadn't said anything about her relationship with Inuyasha to Kikyo. Nor have she even made any threats towards her. It was like she didn't even exist in her life at all. Well with the exception that she did talk to her once a blue moon with commands from the cheerleading and such.
Kouga had been cool about the whole incident with her returning his gift and the two still remained friends, which was good for Kagome. She actually enjoyed Kouga's company and found that he was a great friend and listener.
Inuyasha and Kagome's relationship was still under wraps from others with only the close friends of the two knowing about it. And it continued to grow at a pretty good rate.
It was cheerleading practice and the girls were doing their stretches. Kikyo came in clapping her hands, gaining the attention from all the girls.
"Okay girls I hope that you all have finished with your stretches. We have a lot of work to do today and so little time to get it done. You all know that the spring regionals are coming up in a matter of weeks."
"This means that we have a lot of practicing to do." Tsubaki said stepping from behind her, already getting started with the practice.
"Now we need to work on the pyramid and the hand stands. Megumi your frame needs a little more work. Yuri you still need to balance a bit, before you raise your leg how about you balance yourself first and then raise your leg."
"Also Kagome." Tsubaki looked at her. "You need to concentrate on your weight; some of the girls have told me that you were getting a little heavier."
Kagome eyes widen a bit. "Okay."
"It's nothing to worry about. You don't look fat or anything just cut a few pounds. This thing has happened to all of us at one point or another." Kikyo said in a supportive tone of voice.
Kagome nodded her head as she looked back at Tsubaki who wasn't looking in her direction. She was telling the other girls some things that they could do to improve on their work. She even went down on herself about some of the things that she was slacking herself, including her putting on some extra pounds. This resulted in some of the other girls saying that they did catch a few pounds here and there. Kagome realized that Tsubaki wasn't picking on her and she was being overly sensitive. So she brushed it aside.
The practice went by rather well as Kikyo blew her whistle and waited for all the girls to line up.
"Good job today girls! If I known that practice would have went this well. I would have told you about this a long time ago."
Some of the girls laughed while others were still catching their breaths a bit.
"Again practice went great today and hopefully it will be great tomorrow also. So see you later." Kikyo walked off taking a drink of her water.
Tsubaki looked over at Kagome and Kagome gave her a soft smile. Surprisingly enough Tsubaki returned with a smile of her own.
"See you later Kagome." Tsubaki waved as she followed in the same direction as Kikyo was walking.
Kagome didn't know what was going on with Tsubaki and that she was acting saintly but she sure wasn't on her back anymore. Kagome pulled out her cell phone and called Inuyasha.
He picked up on the 2nd ring. "Hey babe."
"I'm out of practice so you think you can pick me up?"
"Do you even have to ask?"
"Yeah I know but I like to anyway."
"I'll be there in a couple of minutes."
"Alright." She hung up her cell phone placing it in her pocket. Kagome walked off in the opposite direction from everyone else. It didn't take long for Inuyasha to arrive at the school building, probably 5 minutes or so.
He swerved the car in front of her and rolled down the windows.
"Wow you sure are the speed demon."
"When it comes to you, I always am."
Kagome let a blush stain her cheeks as she walked towards the passenger side and got in. Inuyasha mashed on the gas and sped off in the distance. Two sets of eyes appeared from behind one of the trees.
"What did I tell you, she is with Inuyasha."
"Out of all the people that she could be with. She would want to be with him."
"You seem to be shocked Kouga."
"I wouldn't say that I am shocked. More like I'm disgusted with her choice of boyfriends. I would have been glad if it was anyone else other than dog boy."
"I don't like the fact that they are together."
"Does Kikyo know?"
Tsubaki shook her head. "No I want to tell her but Inuyasha is keeping a close eye on me. He knows if I would tell her or not."
Kouga's eyes lit up with a mischievous glow. "I've got an idea."
Tsubaki listened as Kouga whispered something in her ear. The corner of her lips began to curl up into a tiny smirk.
"Are you serious?" she looked at him questioningly.
"I would never lie when it comes to matters like that."
"Interesting." She touched her chin with her finger. "But do you think that it would actually work?"
"I know for surety that it will work. Although I will need both your cooperation."
"If it involves bringing those two down then you have my full devotion." She smiled at him.
"Hey Tsubaki are you ready." Kikyo called out to her.
"I'll talk to you later Kouga." Tsubaki walked off heading over in Kikyo's direction. Kouga just nodded his head as he waited for the two to leave.
"What was the two of you talking about?" Kikyo asked.
"Oh we have a class together and he was telling me some of the stuff I had missed when I had gone to the office."
"Oh."

Inuyasha had dropped Kagome off and left to take care of some business. Normally he would have let Kagome come over his house so they could chill, but something had came up and he couldn't let this one slip up.
His cell phone rung in his pocket and he reached inside to answer it. "Hello."
"Yeah Inuyasha where are you?" Bankotsu asked.
"I'm on my way I just dropped Kagome off at home."
There was silence before Bankotsu responded. "Alright, we'll see you when you get here."
"Alright." Inuyasha hung up the phone. Something was wrong but what. He mashed on the gas and sped to the base.
"So where's Inuyasha at?"
"He's on his way." Bankotsu replied.
"I can't believe that Kouga has the audacity to try to pull a stunt like that."
"Do you think that it has anything to do with us fucking him up?" Renkotsu asked.
"No duh Sherlock. We should have done more damage." Suikotsu said sarcastically.
"We had covered the area, making sure that everything was in place. Kouga shows up threatening to destroy the balance that we worked on." Hiten said, getting angrier by the second.
"Let's not get too worked up. Once Inuyasha arrive I'm sure that he will know what to do."
"How can you be so calm?"
Bankotsu shrugged his shoulders. "You know that we all have been through worse scenarios. This doesn't seem like one."
"Maybe, but Kouga Wolf coming back that's as worse it can get."
The door swung open and Inuyasha emerged from behind it. He closed it and locked it. All eyes were on him. Inuyasha walked to the center of the room and took a seat on one of the couches. "So what's up?"
Bankotsu cleared his throat. "Word is that Kouga has already started his group and he has issued a challenge to everyone out there. Mainly Killer 7."
Inuyasha raised a brow. "Is that so?"
"He also has taken away clients from us"
Inuyasha raised a brow. "Who?"
"Quite a few, some in which hasn't given us all of the money for the merchandise."
Inuyasha growled angrily as his eyes narrowed. "That guy really is trying to do everything in his power to fuck me up."
"What cha talking about Inuyasha?" Hiten asked.
"He wants Kagome." He felt his blood boil just thinking about him trying to woo his bitch with that damn Christmas present.
"He's trying to get Kagome." It was more of a statement rather than a question.
"Yeah and in the worst way. He doesn't even have the balls to just stake a claim, he gotta do it the bitch way by buying her shit."
"Also Inuyasha, it has been told that those who were still apart of Chiro's gang, they are collaborating with Kouga."
"What the fuck! What do you mean they are collaborating with Kouga?" Monten yelled in anger.
"They feel that we are responsible or know something about Chiro being killed and they want to do everything possible to get us."
"How do you know?"
"Thanks to Renkotsu, he's been a double agent for us."
"This could get dangerous though." Hiten said. "What if they find out that we know some shit that they got planning?"
"They won't you all know that I am a good manipulator." He smirked.
"And how do we know if you ain't working as a double agent for them."
"Oh trust me, I know the consequences in betraying yall." He looked over at Inuyasha knowing the lengths he would go if anyone betrayed him.
"So what have they been saying Renkotsu?" Inuyasha asked calmly.
"Well they came about a week or two ago. Kouga was skeptical at first because he had heard about what a shady character Chiro had been."
"So he isn't as dumb as we thought." Inuyasha said with a smirk.
Renkotsu continued. "So as he was about to dismiss them, they had brought your name up. That caught his attention. They were saying how they felt that Killer 7, particularly Inuyasha might be responsible for their leader's demise. And they began to talk. It held Kouga's interest because he said that he had a score to settle with Inuyasha also."
"Damn those bastards are scheming some shit as always. I wonder how they can think of their own without their boss." Suikotsu said laughing a bit.
"How long have they been discussing this?"
"For a little over a week now."
"When is the next time you will head over to Kouga's base?"
"I can go later on tonight."
"Alright, you get as much information as you can. Don't rush into it because I don't want you to blow your cover."
"Alright." Renkotsu nodded his head.
