School of Love- Chapter 36
What Goes Around
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Morning- Kagome
A beautiful morning, yes it was. The sun was blazing, and it was only 7:30am. People were already outside walking their dogs. The trees blew in the slight breeze that would cool off the regular jogger who would normally pass on such mornings.
You could also smell the aroma of food cooking inside some homes; indicating it was time to start their day.
"Good morning, Tokyo! Hope you're starting your day off by stretching those aching bones! Get outta' bed, and go to the city!" The DJ announced in a cheerful tone. "Stay away from Highway 95 for atleast a few hours, there are a few car accidents on that part of the city, and you wouldn't wanna end up in it..."
"Britney Spears is officially checked out of rehab...why? She's still getting tattoo's by the day, so why let her out?! That's just damn crazy!" he yelled. "If she can go around and do whatever the hell she wants, then why don't we set men free from jail? What do you have to say about this?"
"I say she has the right to leave," a girl answered. She seemed to sound like she was thirteen.
"I say she needs to stay and get her life strait," a boy answered.
"Very good suggestions. Let's move on. It's time to get to what all you people have been waiting for: the ad-" a tired hand slapped on their flashing alarm clock. Thanking the heavens for silence, they moaned and buried themself under their warm comforters. 'Just go away for another six hours!'
"KAGOOOOOOOOOME!" a voice sang.
Kagome clasped her eyes shut, and dug deeper into her covers. "Not now," she mumbled, "how'd you get here? It's only 7?" she snarled; not lifting her head even once.
She had cried herself to sleep that night. Who was to blame for that? Adacus, of course. As soon as she got the letter, she wanted to tear it to shred's, but her thoughts wanted to know what her long-lost father had to say about everything...if he even had anything to say. In fact, she didn't even read it. She shoved it under her arm, and fell asleep.
Kagome lifted her right hand to her left side. She felt a piece of rough paper; the letter.
Sango shook her head in major disapproval. "Come on, Kagome! It's time to welcome the day!" she twirled around the room, eyeing the darkness. "Could you lighten up for me?" she asked, as she wrapped her hands around the curtains. Pulling them apart, the room filled with the rays of the morning sun. "You know what they say: the sun rises from the east."
Kagome cursed herself. Her house faced east. "What a coincidence," she mumbled, as she laid on her stomach; she tried to imagine InuYasha's strong arms wrapped around her. She smiled slightly. He always knew how to comfort her when she was in need.
"Close the curtains."
"I said for you to lighten up, so do it!" Sango yelled; completely ignoring Kagome's last wish. "What I came here to tell you concerns Inu-" She smiled when Kagome rose from her pink and blue blanket. "Like I was saying-"
"What is it?" Kagome couldn't help but be worried. She was his girlfriend, after all. It was part of the job description.
Sango giggled. "Don't worry about it, Miroku and InuYasha are just fighting."
"Fighting?" Kagome echoed, as she rolled her eyes. Laying herself back down, she tried to get situated again. "What could those two possibly be fighting about?" she murmured. "Nothing bad, right?"
"Actually...yes," Sango said with a sigh. "Miroku won't tell me what they're fighting about exactly, but a little girl named Kagome is involved." She rubbed her chin and thought. "The only thing I can come up with, is that they're fighting over you..."
"Don't talk like that." Again, Kagome sat up. She felt the tone in the words Sango had said. They were filled with sadness and jealousy. "I'm sure they'll figure things out," she tried to chance the subject. "...you said you wanted to go shopping yesterday, alone, right?"
She again, rolled her eyes at the squealing coming from Sango.
"Thanks so much Kagome," Sango said with a smile. "You should get a dictionary. Go and find the word 'bestfriend', and your picture will be under it."
Kagome felt somewhat special. She had the urge to jump out of bed and find the closest bookstore. "I'll be ready in an hour, good?"
"AN HOUR?!" Sango yelled. "WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO, PUT ON A MASK?!"
Kagome giggled and stretched her arms. "Sorry to disappoint you, but, I'm already wearing one," she said, while pointing to her face. "You'll never get a chance to see what I really look like." She teased.
"Just who do you look like?" Sango asked with a smile. "Jerry Springer? That cute guy from Ned's Declassified? Micheal Jackson? Nat Wolff?"
"Okay, okay!" Kagome shouted. "You didn't have to go there," she said with crossed arms. Kicking off her covers, she let her legs freely fall out of their cave. "What about InuYasha and Miroku? Is it okay to leave them alone?" she asked, as she forced herself to stand; she instantly deplored it when she felt the cool air hit her small body.
Sango sat in her bestfriend's desk chair, and kicked up her feet on the desk. She put her arms behind her head, and let out a long sigh. "Kagome, Kagome, Kagome, you should know them," she pointed out. "If you think about it, they're just like us girls when it comes to fighting."
"Oh really?" Kagome asked, as she took her first step of the day. She slowly made her way towards her bathroom to get a quick shower. She knew one thing from hanging out with Sango all summer; the summer that just happened to be prawling with new fashion statements for her lively friend to discover: the earlier you rise, the earlier you get home.
Life lesson.
"Yep," Sango said in a professional way. Taking her arms away from her head, she fiddled with her hands. "Hey, Kagome-chan?"
"Yes?" Kagome asked, just as she wrapped her hand around her doorknob. "What is it? Something wrong?" she questioned with slight concern. When she didn't get an answer after thirty seconds, she ushered for Sango to continue.
"I was just wondering...if you'd stay the night at my place," Sango finally said. "I don't mind if you have plans with InuYasha, I know I don't compare to him, it's just that...you know...summer's almost over," she stated with a sigh. "I'm not gonna see my bestest bestfriend for a long time. I atleast wanna remember her when I'm sitting in a desk at the university."
"Board out of your mind?"
Sango nodded. She started regretting her words, when the bathroom door quickly opened and closed.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Silent Treatment-
"Gonna get up today, InuYasha?" Shippo asked. When he didn't get an answer, he hopped on the bed. Walking towards the lump in the blanket, he smiled. "Come on, you've been sleeping almost all day! It's 3:30," he pointed out. He turned when the door opened.
Souta smiled at the brothers. One was sleeping, while the other was trying to get the other to get up. It reminded him somewhat of himself and Kagome; except if Kagome were a boy, then it'd be exactly the same. "Shippo? Are we going to the park today?"
Shippo took his eyes off the lump, and grinned. He felt InuYasha cringe in the blanket from Souta's words. "Yep. Which means 'Mr Sleep all Day' has to take us."
With that, Souta grabbed the top half of the the blanket; Shippo grabbing the other. "One...two...three!" They pulled on it, welcoming a drowsy InuYasha. The boys gasped and waited to get yelled at. What shocked them, was the condition the half demon was in. He looked like he didn't have a care in the world, and wanted to crawl into a milk carton and never come out.
"Can you take us?" Shippo asked. "Sesshomaru's somewhere and Mom won't let us go by ourselves."
InuYasha stared at them. Since when did his life come down to escourting two boys to the park? He wasn't a babysitter, he was InuYasha! It wasn't his job to do, or naturally care, what happens to them, right?
No, he'd gotten slightly smarter over the summer. Smarter, as in to never mention his thoughts about his personal life to the human/demon race.
Nodding, he watched as the two high-fived and ran out of the room.
"Be ready in ten minutes!"
InuYasha rolled his eyes, and stood. Stretching his arms, he let his feet guide him to the shower. Opening the door, he looked at himself in the mirror. Shippo and Souta had the right to stare at him, he admitted. He looked like a crazy loon; not that he cared.
Twenty minutes later, he walked downstairs with wet hair.
Stepping downstairs, he felt the tension. His mother, Mrs Higurashi, Souta, and Shippo, were all staring at him. He felt like shouting a small insult, but kept his mouth shut; for the sake of making all the people go deaf.
"You're late," Shippo and Souta pointed out, as they stood. "Bye Mom!" they said with waves to both mother's, as they ran out the door.
When Mrs Tashio heard the door click shut, she gave her attention to her son. "Taking two boys to the park? How nice of you," she said with a smile. She didn't think her ears were correct when her son told her that InuYasha, King of Lazyville, would have the honor of taking him and his bestfriend to the park.
InuYasha simply nodded, and said nothing. Kissing his mother on the cheek to let her know he was fine, and waving to Mrs Higurashi, he made his way towards the door.
"Don't get hit by a bus."
InuYasha turned, with a confused look on his features.
Mrs Higurahsi giggled, "Kagome said for me to remind you not to get hit by a bus today, since Sango dragged her to go shopping," she said with a smile. "Don't get hit by anything, for the matter."
Smiling, the half demon nodded and opened the door that Souta and Shippo had exited. He silently closed it behind him. 'She thinks I'm gonna get hit by something! What an idiot! Who does that wench think I am?' he said to himself, as he rubbed his temples. Looking down, he sighed.
Children.
"Let's go!" Souta grabbed InuYasha's claw, and started pulling him down the street. "Have you seen Kagome today? She looks real nice," he said with a smile. "I thought you were going out, but Sango took her instead."
'Probally to some strip club.'
InuYasha started to wonder why Kagome would go somewhere so early in the morning. He knew her very well, and he knew she hated mornings. The favorite part of her day was watching the sunset with a soda in hand. Speaking of sunset...it was coming soon. 'Where the hell is she?'
"She was wearing something red," Souta stated, "I can't remember what kind of shirt it was, but it was red."
InuYasha nodded; a small blush forming on his cheeks. Getting out of Souta's grasp, he reached into his back pocket for his cell phone.
Two missed calls.
One was from Kagome, but the other one, he couldn't recall ever seeing it. Pressing Call Back, he waited for the person to answer.
"The number 1-032-555-4338, could not be reached. Please try calling later."
InuYasha growled, and pressed Call Back again. He waited for the person to answer. 'Come on...come on!' He didn't have a clue who was calling, but he remembered the number from somewhere. 'Who the hell is it? It's not Kagome...or Miroku...or Sango...or Kouga?"
"The number 1-032-555-4338, could not be reached. Please try calling later."
"Everything okay?" Shippo asked, as he hopped on his brother's shoulder. "Is Kagome not answering her phone? Why not try leaving a message?" he suggested.
InuYasha shook his head, just as a car passed him. He heard the dreaded screech of the bad brakes. It drove back slowly towards him. Looking away, the half demon wanted the person to magically forget him. 'Just what the hell does she want?!' he said to himself, as he plastered a smile on his face.
Waving to his ex-teacher, he sighed when he got nothing in return. 'Oh well, did my good deed of the day.'
"Well," Mrs Junji said with a smile; she let the last 'l' go out long. "The last time I remember seeing your face, I was telling you to keep your hands off of Ms Higurashi; now look at you," she pointed to Souta. "Kidnapping a child won't get you anywhere." She waited for InuYasha's face to turn red. Also, she waited for him to say a few merciful things. "Mr Tashio?"
InuYasha said nothing, and grabbed Souta's hand. He swung him on his back; just like he'd do if he were Kagome. Standing strait, he glared at the teacher. "Nice talking to you," with that, he took big, slow steps. They turned faster when he felt the car vibrate threw his shoes. She was leaving him at be.
"What was that all about?" Souta whispered to Shippo. He felt like he was ten feet high. He had to admit that InuYasha was fairly tall for being only eighteen. "I don't like her."
"Me neither," Shippo flatly said. "InuYasha, where do you know her-"
"Anyone want ice cream?"
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Kikyo Get's Violent-
"What do you think of this one?" Sango held up a beautiful black dress. It had cuts that went down the left leg; perfect for showing off her legs. "Please tell me! What do you think Miroku will do when he see's me?!"
"Things you don't want him to do," Kagome instantly stated. "Let me see it."
She took the dress from Sango, and looked threw it. Gasping, she pointed to the tag information. "Sango, this dress isn't even in your size!" She yelled. "How are you gonna get in it?"
"It's fine," Sango said in a cool tone. "I stopped eating fast-food."
"Hey, you wanna get McDonald's after?" Kagome asked with a smile.
"Sure!" Sango squealed. "Thank GOD! I'm starving!" She put the dress back on the rack, and sighed. "...you got me," she said under her breath. "Let's go," taking Kagome's hand, she led the way out of the store. It was dangerously expensive. They weren't even rich enough to step foot inside. She knew this, for as soon as she stepped in an hour earlier, the cashier glared and shook her head.
"That place was really expesive," Kagome said in shock, as she took control of her body. "Miroku was right. Why'd you two come up here in the first place?" she asked, as a rich person passed them. She waved her hand from side to side, and coughed. The woman's perfume was terribly rich smelling...which smelt terrible.
"Ummm," Sango tried to think of a reason to come so far into the city. "We went to get coffee," she said, "and after that, he took me shopping here."
She wasn't telling a 'full' lie. She had told the truth; she just added alittle spice to it. "Let's try that shop!" she squealed, and pointed to a store.
It had a beautiful white dress in the window. It had creases in all the right places, as well as a beautiful base line. The dress looked like it would go past Sango's feet without the right heels. "I think I'm in love."
Kagome looked to where her bestfriend was pointing. "Not a bad choice," since it was obvious that Sango's feet weren't going to move themselves, she led the way towards the store. As it came closer, a clique from school came into view.
SHS.
"Super Hot Sista's," both said at the same time.
SHS were the girls from Shikon that were considered the 'hottest'. They all dated all the guys on the football team; as well as all the guys on the basketball team. And the baseball team.
Kimiko, Naomi, and...Kikyo.
Of course the three weren't sisters, but they were the best of friends. Kimiko was a cousin of Kikyo, and Naomi was her bestfriend. They were both beautiful. Their hair was a beautiful black that fitted their huge eyes perfectly.
Kimiko's were green, while Naomi's were black.
Kikyo was considered the leader of the group. She was the oldest, as well as the most high-handed. Since she was the ex-girlfriend of InuYasha Tashio, she was still respected by any boy that knew him.
"I don't think they're that hot," Sango said under her breath. "Just look at them, they look like sluts!" she pointed to the three girls to prove her point. "Why should we have to look and dress like them, just to get attention from our boyfriends!" she yelled. "It's not fair! It's not fair! It's not fair! It's not-"
"I get it," Kagome said with a smile. She fiddled with the bottom of her halter top. She didn't even compare to Kimiko, Naomi, and Kikyo. She was more plain, more complex. She was the type of girl that would rather stay at home in her pajama's with a bowl of popcorn; InuYasha at her side, rather than being out at some fancy club.
She knew that InuYasha was the same, as well.
The two started walked into the store. The cheap elevator music was highly irritating, but they soon got used to it. Sango immediatly grabbed a store clerk on duty, and dragged her to a row of dresses. "Kagome, let's go! Move it!"
Kagome chased after the two. As she ran, she passed SHS.
"Kagome, dear!"
She stopped at the sound of her name being called. She felt the whole store fall quiet. She could hear her heart beating. It was making a 'thump' sound that made sweat trinkle down her cheek. She wiped it away, and turned. 'Please don't do anything!' She pleaded, as she waved to the three. She wanted to know why Kikyo was smiling at her. 'InuYasha!'
She cursed herself when Kimiko, Naomi, and Kikyo came running towards her.
"What's up?" Kimiko asked, as she swung her head; making her hair fall gracefully over her shoulder. "Are you going to the dance?" She asked, as she grabbed Naomi's arm. "We're both going. I'm going with...um..." she had forgotten the name of the boy she promised to go with. "Well, he's on the football team, so that's all that matters. As for Naomi-"
"I've been waiting to ask someone special," Naomi cut in. "I've been waiting for a long time for him to ask me out, and I haven't heard of him all summer..." she trailed off, and smiled. "Anyways, he doesn't have a choice whether he wants to go, or not."
"What do you mean?" Kagome asked. She didn't like what she was hearing one bit. 'What's going on? Where's InuYasha!' She begged him to show up and sweep her off her feet.
"Instead of answering her question..." Kikyo wrapped an arm around Naomi's shoulders. "Who's this mystery man?" She asked with a giggle. "I hope it's someone little Kagome knows."
Kimiko squealed. "Naomi just can't wait to go with InuYasha!"
"Inu...Yasha?" Kagome asked. Her heart skipped a few beats. 'Anyone else, but him! No! Why'd it have to be InuYasha!' she said to herself, as she smiled. Once she heard Kikyo laugh at her, the smile faded.
"Congratulations on picking him...when are you gonna do it?" she asked curiously. "The dance is on Saturday, and it's Tuesday."
Playing along wasn't much fun...when someone knew what you were up to.
"Oh, tell me about it!" Naomi said with a sigh. "He'd better not have a date or anything, or I'd have to purify him!" she said with another giggle. "I've already decided that we're wearing blue."
Kagome felt herself cringe. 'She's already decided what color they're wearing?! I don't even know if I'm going, yet alone, what I'm wearing!'
She realized that blue was the best color for Naomi. Her hair was blue-black, which fitted her big, brown eyes. Her lips were a light red thanks to the magic of lipstick, and her cheeks were pink. As for her attire, she was wearing white hip huggers, and a strapless, blue top.
Kagome realized that all the girls were wearing the same; except Kikyo's top was pink, while Kimiko's was yellow.
"KAGOME! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
She smiled when she heard her name being yelled. She knew that Sango had heard the conversation from the dress aisle, and came to the rescue; but from a distance. Sango hated SHS. "Well, I'd better get going."
"Wait," Naomi dug into her purse for a pen. Once she found a blue one, she grabbed Kagome's arm. She turned it to the side, and wrote down a message. "I want you to show this to InuYasha," she instructed. "Kikyo tells me that you know him. I gave him a piece of paper after they broke up, but I think he lost it."
All Kagome could do was nod. Her arm was in a deadly grasp, and Naomi's artifical nails were digging into her skin. The moment seemed farmilar to her for some reason...
"Done!" Naomi pulled away, and slipped her pen back in her purse. "Just don't bathe," she warned with a smile. When she didn't get an answer from the pale Kagome, she pretended to check her watch. "Look at the time!" She grabbed Kimiko and Kikyo by the arms. "We should be going!"
Kagome nodded, and watched SHS walk in a fast pace to the door.
"KAGOME! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
She rolled her eyes, and sighed. "It's over Sango, that's enough," making her way towards her bestfriend, she noticed the ten dresses in the clerk's arms.
Laughing, she turned to Sango, and noticed the three dresses in her arms. "Why not wait for you mom or something?" she asked, as she took the dresses from the clerk.
"God bless you," the clerk said with a smile. She stood tall, and faced Sango. Taking the dresses from her arms, she put them back on the rack. "Your friend's right. It'd be best for you to come with your mother, or an older woman."
"I guess you're right," Sango rubbed her chin. She thought for several minutes. "Can you save the dress in the window?" she pleaded. "I just love it."
The woman nodded. "As a matter of fact, the dress comes down today. It'll be safe in the stock room until someone request's it," she smiled when Sango's face turned white. "I'll be sure to put your name on it."
"Sango Higuracous," Sango said with clasped hands. "S-A-N-G-O, that's Sango, and Higuracous is, H-I-G-U-R-A-C-O-U-S."
The clerk nodded, and wrote the identification down. "Thank you, come again."
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Shopping Spree-
"I think that went well," Sango said with a smile. She adjusted her seat in Kagome's car. She could sense the tension coming from Kagome. Either something was wrong, or something was InuYasha's fault. She chose choice number one. "What's wrong?"
"Naomi," Kagome answered. Pressing her foot on the gas pedal, she eased out of the parking lot.
"That it?" Sango asked. She put on her seatbelt, and waited for Kagome to answer her. "You sure?" she questioned. "I'm starting to think you're bluffing. This has InuYasha written all over it."
"Kimiko...and Kikyo," Kagome finished.
"What do you mean?" Sango asked. "Is this about the dance? I heard before summer that she asked InuYasha out once, but he never replied."
"Huh?" Kagome said; obviously baffled. "InuYasha and...Naomi?"
"Yep," Sango said with crossed arms. "It's in her reputation to sleep with her boyfriend's. I know InuYasha, since he's one of my bestfriends. He'd never do anything like that. Hope I made you feel better."
No answer.
"Kagome?"
No answer.
"Kagome-chan?"
Sango sighed, and looked out the window. Reaching into her purse, she pulled out Kirara. "I wonder what Miroku's doing?" she said with a smile, as she patted her cat's head. "Can't wait to see him."
"I was hoping he'd ask me to the dance sometime soon," she said, as her eyes slowly eyed Kagome's expression. She looked like she didn't have a care in the world. Her expression greatly resembled InuYasha for a few seconds.
"Kagome-chan, things are gonna be okay. No matter how terrible they may seem. That's what my mom always says," she stated; hoping to cheer Kagome up.
It didn't. All her words did was make the car come to a screeching halt.
She wathed as Kagome un-buckled her seatbelt, and got out of the car. She thought it was best to stay out of what Kagome had to do. It was her life. Besides, she had one of her own.
Turning to the ignition, she noticed that they keys were still inside. Smiling, she hopped over. "Kagome...you're the best."
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Kagome made her way threw the grass of the park. She knew where InuYasha would be, for Souta had bugged her earlier to take him and Shippo to the park.
InuYasha was the only other option.
Smiling, she slowed her pace. 'What if he doesn't wanna see me?' She was only thinking logical. When she gets in fights with Sango, she likes to stay away. It feels nice to talk to someone after cooling off for a few minutes; days.
As her strides became even slower, she sighed. "The dance; InuYasha and Naomi; Naomi's reputation...why doesn't all that fit together?" she said out loud, as her eyes searched for the playground. Once she found it, she turned back to where she had parked her car. It was gone.
She hoped Sango had noticed the keys in the ignition. Since the park wasn't that far away, she could walk the rest of the way home. She still had to get her things since she was staying the night at Sango's. Her bestfriend was right...time was running out. Spending time together was limited to five days.
Then...it was all over.
It would be time for her to put her head in InuYasha's chest, and cry. She'd be on a plane to Kyoko; to get a life; to start a life; to make something of herself...alone. "I can't believe it," she said, as she looked into the sky. "It's about sunset."
A shadow draped over her.
"Kagome?"
Her head snapped up, to come face-to-face, with no other than InuYasha. She knew by heart that it wasn't his voice that had said her name. Looking down, she forced a smile on her face. "Hey."
Souta and Shippo waved at her, and ran threw the field. "Come on old ladies!" they called back to the couple.
Kagome stared into InuYasha's eyes. They were filled with worry and concern. "Don't look at me like that," she said with a pointed finger. "I'm fine."
She sighed at the look InuYasha was giving her. "Don't go there; nothing happened."
InuYasha did nothing but stare at her. He wasn't even saying anything, and she was figuring out what he wanted to say. Talk about silent treatment. 'Kagome, you don't look good. You sure nothing happened?'
"Yes, I'm sure," Kagome replied. She lifted her right arm. "Someone told me to give you a message."
InuYasha stared at the almost smudged handwritting.
'You never called back! Look, we're going to the dance, and we're gonna have a killer time! Pick me up at 6785 Jungyai Parkway at 7! I'll be waiting for you to show-up in blue!'
Rolling his eyes, he grabbed Kagome and led her to the playground.
He sat her down on a swing, and started pushing her. 'What the hell's going on with this world?!'
"I don't know, you tell me," Kagome said with a smile. She didn't have a clue what she was doing, but it felt nice talk to InuYasha; even though he wasn't saying anything back. Turning to face him, she lightly laughed. "I'm sorry. I guess I'm just jealous."
InuYasha gasped. A smirk formed on his features. Grasping the chains to the swing, he forcefully turned Kagome so she was facing him. He knelt down, and planted a kiss on her soft lips. "Of course you're jealous," he smiled when Kagome's face turned red. He was in for it now.
Kagome solely controlled her anger. Standing, she grabbed InuYasha's claw; leading him away from the playground. "You've got two kids to watch, not me," she pointed out. "What got you out of bed today? You mom tells me you're lazy," she stated; hoping to change the subject.
InuYasha rolled his eyes, again. "Shippo jumping on my bed, and two missed calls," he mumbled.
"Was one from Miroku?" Kagome curiously asked. One was from her, she was positive of that. She called to make sure everything was okay with her shining star. It seemed, now, she realized, she should have kept calling.
Turning to InuYasha, she stopped dead in her tracks. '...what happened?' she said to herself, as she looked into the half demon's eyes again. He wasn't thinking anything.
InuYasha released Kagome's hand, and took off his jacket.
Kagome gasped at what she saw.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Miroku the Fool-
"Damn him," Miroku mumbled for the hundredth time that day. Sitting strait in the chair he was occupied in, he let out a long sigh. "Another," he demanded with a snapped finger. "Hurry up you stupid demon."
"Don't you call me a stupid demon," Kouga snarled. Still, he did as he was told. He didn't want to end up how InuYasha ended up. Thanks to Miroku's antics, the three were banned from the local Arby's.
"Here ya go your magesty," the wolf demon said under his breath. Tossing Miroku another beer, he turned to his television.
Ayame wasn't expected home for another two hours, so he still had time to get Miroku out of their apartment. She had complained about the noise of the monk whimpering silent pleads in his sleep.
Of course, he'd heard it, too. But, Miroku was his friend; even if he was extremally drunk at the moment. What scared him even worse...was having to tell Sango about all the mess.
"Damn that stupid half demon," snapped him out of his explaination trance.
"Why have you developed such a bad vocabulary for the demon?" he asked with a grin. "It's about time."
Miroku shook his head from side to side. "No...not that. That demon wants to have sex with Kagome. Not if I have anything to say about it!" he declared with a goofy smile. "She'll never fall for his antics!" He didn't regret his words one bit, when he saw Kouga's face turn a lovely shade of red; from anger, not embarassment.
"Not with my ex-girlfriend he doesn't," Kouga growled out. "Just where the hell's the mutt?!"
"KOUGA! I'M HOME!"
The demon smiled, and stood from the couch. Why was she home so early?! "Alright, alright, I'll take him home now," taking the beer from Miroku's hand, he set it on the coffee table.
Ayame ran to the living room. "Sweetie, that's okay! I brought someone to get him! She's been looking for him all day, and I feel so sorry for her," she pulled Sango from out of the shadows. "I was driving home, when I found her walking down the street; alone."
Sango got out of Ayame's grasp, and ran to her boyfriend. "Is he okay?" she asked, as she put a shaky hand on his cheek. "He's just sleeping, right? Acoma?" she pleaded.
Kouga looked at Miroku. He had passed out from all the alcohol. "Sure, let's go with that," he said with shrugged shoulders. "You want me to take him home for ya?" he asked, as he stood infront of the beer bottle; hoping no one saw it earlier.
Sango slightly nodded. "Thank you," she said with a smile, "I'd take him home myself, but I already took Kagome's car back to her house."
"No problem," Kouga wrapped an arm around Miroku's shoulders; the other going around his back. With a huff and a sigh, the monk was in his arms. Silently, he made his way towards the door to his home. "I'll be back in a few," he mumbled, as he opened the door. He had just enough time to get to-
"You got him drunk!"
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Girls and One Boy, vs Boys and One Girl-
"InuYasha! Kagome!" Shippo and Souta yelled. "Come on! It's getting late!" Giving their attention to eachother, they grinned and ran threw the field some more. It was only 5:30pm, and they weren't told to be back until dark. But, dark was considered around 7:00, so they had plenty of extra time.
InuYasha rolled his eyes, and pulled Kagome to start walking.
Kagome stared at him with a baffled expression on her face. Staring at his arm, she felt like crying. 'He must really be hurting.' Running a finger gently over the exposed skin, she felt his body flinch. "I'm sorry!" she got out of his embrace, and took a few steps back.
"That's okay," InuYasha lightly responded. Pulling Kagome back towards him, he put his jacket on her shoulders. "You look nice today," he added with a kiss on the forehead.
Kagome blushed. "...thank you." Smiling, her face turned a darker shade of crimson. 'Soooo, he does like red!' Of course, she chose to wear the halter top. It fit her perfectly, but, it made her shoulders freeze to death.
InuYasha nodded, and led the way towards Shippo and Souta. "I'm gonna be fine. I knew it was coming, anyways. You should have seen Miroku; he was pissed at me."
"That doesn't mean he has to purify you!" Kagome yelled. "It's not fair that you're suffering!"
"Kagome," InuYasha said in a calm tone, "I'm gonna be fine." he said, again. "Stop worrying."
Kagome blushed again, and turned to the side. Leaving the half demon to have his temper tantrum, she slightly smiled. 'He knows me more than I know myself.' Shaking her head, she turned back to him. "Sorry, I can't." With that, she took off in a run after the two boys.
InuYasha's face turned a nice shade of crimson. He stopped walking, and looked at his right arm. He had a handprint on it. It was pink, and hurt like he had gotten sunburned. Getting purified wasn't something he wanted to experience often. 'Damn monk,' he said to himself with a sigh. He figured he'd be fine in a matter of days. His youkai blood would heal the portion of his body that had been turned 'good'.
'Guess that's what I-'
CRASH!!!
The next thing that happened to him, happened in a flash. In just seconds, he came crashing on the ground; his back to the grass. He hissed as all the pain from Kagome's 'sit' commands came into memory. Staring at the sky, brown and orange took over his eyesight. "What the hell?!"
"InuYasha!" Sango and Ayame yelled. "We want you to beat Miroku and Kouga!"
InuYasha sat up with his elbows. "Why the hell should I?" he asked. You didn't have to say it twice when the mention of the word 'beat', was in a sentence. But...his bestfriends? What was up with that?
"You okay?"
Turning his head to the left, he nodded at the form that was perched at his level.
Kagome.
"Oh no you don't!" came two voices.
InuYasha rolled his eyes, and stood strait. He growled at the sight. Kagome being held infront of him defensivly wasn't helping much. He gave his attention to the two people standing behind her. "Give her back."
"No!" Miroku yelled, as he put his hands on Kagome's shoulders. Pulling her so that she was inbetween himself and Kouga, he laughed. "You can't kick our asses, if she's in the way!" He high-fived with the wolf demon. "We'll just keep her with us at all times!"
InuYasha gasped. He cracked his knuckles. 'No fair!'
"Trator!" Sango yelled. "How could you do this, Kagome?!" she shouted, as she grabbed the demon before her. "He stays with us, until you step away from our boyfriends!"
Kagome pointed to herself with a generally stupid look on her face. 'What'd I do?' she said to herself, as she thought of everything she'd done since she woke up. 'I can't think of anything...maybe Sango and Ayame need some time to cool off?' When she felt her body being moved forcefully, she stopped her thoughts.
"You're not aloud to get an inch near InuYasha," Miroku instructed. "He's the enemy, if you know what that means," he said under her breath. "Kouga, let's go."
"We're doing the same," Ayame said with a grin, as she grabbed InuYasha's arm. It just happened to be his right one.
Kagome heard the hiss of agitation from her boyfriend. Her head immediatly snapped to where Ayame had a grip on him. His arm. 'Please be okay,' she pleaded, as Kouga led the way to his car.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Finding Answers-
Kagome stared at both Miroku and Kouga, who were sitting across from her. The two had taken her home; much to her dismay. She was glad to be somewhere where she knew she was welcome to. Her friendship with Sango and Ayame was temporarily gone at the moment, and she didn't have a clue why.
"You two okay?" she asked, as she ate a spoonful of soup. "What's all the locomotion about?"
Miroku and Kouga blinked at eachother. "Where is everybody?"
Kagome rubbed her chin. "Mom and Kaede went to a movie with InuYasha's mother. Souta's with Shippo at his house, and I'm here," she said with a smile. "You did a bad thing by bringing me here. Home's the first place Sango and Ayame will come looking."
Kouga cursed himself. "She's right."
Miroku nodded. Sitting in Kagome's house while eating soup, wasn't exactly what he called a 'master-mind' plan. It was always InuYasha who would think of all the stupid things they'd do. "Yes, Kagome does have a point. Still, you can't leave us alone."
"Why?" Kagome curiously asked. "I only have a few more days-"
"We know," both said. "We don't think InuYasha has a clue, yet."
"Interesting," Kagome mumbled. "Well, unlike him, I won't kick you out," she said with a smile. "You two can stay here until you work things out."
Miroku and Kouga both thanked her. "Everyone's right, you are the best."
Kagome smiled again, and took their emtpy bowls. "There's a suitcase by the stairs. I need you two to carry it upstairs. I have to start packing."
Nodding, they got up and left.
Kagome did the dishes, dried her hands, and quickly called her mother. She had to explain what was going on.
"I don't know," Mrs Higurashi said with a sigh. "You sure that everything's okay? You need me to come over there?" she asked. She was in mother-mode. One of her babies had something on their mind. "Kagome? You there?"
"Hm, I'm okay," Kagome insured. "I have Miroku and Kouga helping me pack." Little did her mother know that there were fresh tears draining from her eyes.
Mrs Higurashi nodded. "The movie's just started. Call if you need anything. I love you."
"Love ya, too," Kagome said with a smile. She hung up the phone, and leaned against the white wall of what would be a meer memory in five days. 'I can't believe I'm leaving...'
Shaking her head, she put the phone on the reciever. Convincing her mother on letting Miroku and Kouga stay wasn't much of a challenge for her.
But, her mother had to bring up that she 'found out' about the dance. She wanted to know if her daughter and future son-in-law were going.
Kagome didn't have a clue.
"Guys, I'm coming up," she called. Making her way upstairs, she passed one of the rails. It had 'Kagome' carved in it. It just goes to show that some memories never die.
She walked down the hall to her room, and opened her door. Her friends were both laid on her bed. Smiling, she closed the door behind her. "Thanks," she said, as she lifted the suitcase with her hands. Walking to her desk, she set it down and opened it. "What should I take?"
"Everything you don't want anyone to touch," Kouga answered in a mumble.
Kagome ignored the sleeping Miroku. "Soooo, how much alcohol did you give him?" she asked, knowingly. When she got a gasp from her friend, she laughed. "We used to date, remember?"
"Alot apparently," Kouga turned to Miroku, and eyed him. "I know you're up."
"Shhh, I don't want her to make me do anything else," Miroku spat back.
Kagome laughed at them. 'I can't believe I have to leave all this,' she said to herself, as she opened her desk drawer. Pulling out her sketches, she put them in the suitcase. "I'll be okay. You two go ahead and get some sleep." She chose not to mention that it was only 8:30pm.
When they seemed to not notice her existance, she sighed in frustration. "I saw SHS today."
They two men fell silent. "WHAT?!" both asked. "What'd they do to you!?"
"Nothing," Kagome walked to her closet, and opened it. Tearing out all her clothes, she walked back to them. "Naomi just gave me a message to give to InuYasha..." she stated. Shoving her clothes in, she walked to her bathroom. She returned with her toothbrush and a Conair™ comb. "It's nothing, really."
"Sure, Kagome." Miroku sat up. "You wanna talk about it?" he asked, as he noticed her arm. Pulling her right when she was infront of her suitcase, he eyed what it said.
"What the hell's that?" Kouga asked. He sat up as well. He joined Miroku as he read the contents. "This sure isn't a cookie recipe."
"No," Kagome shook her head, and pulled her arm away. "It's a date."
"What's it on your arm for?" the wolf demon questioned. When he didn't get an answer, he sighed. "Naomi's got a thing for the mutt?" he asked. "Wow, guess some dreams really do come true."
Kagome slightly smiled, and put her things together. She turned to Miroku and Kouga, and glared at them. "I need a favor."
"Which is?" Miroku asked. "Can't do it now. Incase you haven't noticed, I'm drunk."
"I...want you to watch InuYasha for me," the girl said with a blush.
"Are you trying to tell me that you don't trust him?" Kouga asked with a grin. "If my ears are correct and you're still the Kagome I used to date, I'd say you're on your jealous side," he said with a light laugh. "Don't worry about it."
Kagome nodded and thanked him. "I wanna know if a girl even looks at him," she commanded. "A glance, glare, anything; I wanna know."

InuYasha's Depression-
InuYasha lifted the sleve of Sesshomaru's jacket, and checked his watch. It was 9:00pm, and he was walking home, in the dark. He had to admit that Sango and Ayame were two demanding women. He now realized how precious Kagome was to him. She didn't demand things like, oh, sending him to the local 76 Rebel's, just to get the goods they checked off on a list.
"Damn girls," he mumbled, as he gripped the bag with all the things he'd bought. Yes, he was the one to blame. No way in hell was he going to do something so low; or so he thought. Guess he was wrong.
He started to wonder how Kagome was doing. He could trust her alone with two guys, she wasn't like Kikyo. "I don't know about Miroku," he said under his breath.
What shocked him the most, was that he had forgotten to get his jacket from Kagome! She had 'stolen' his last one, hence his reason for borrowing one of Sesshomaru's. He had to remember to wash it twenty times to get his scent out of it.
He wished he could have gotten his jacket back. His 'ever-so-clever' plan, was to get Kagome to wear it so her scent would be on it. He had been watching the calendar. It was almost the end of August.
Kagome was leaving soon.
InuYasha put a claw over his face. "No," he stopped dead in his tracks. "She can't leave me."
It wasn't that he didn't trust Kagome, he did, it was just that...nobody would be around to watch her. He trusted her, generally, but he didn't trust her by herself. Who knew when she would fall or something?
"Damn hormones," he growled out. He was doing it again; caring.
He knew himself. He never cared about anything except who he was going to torture/harass/prank/annoy. All those feelings disappeared, as soon as he started dating Kagome. She was something special that kept his heart beating.
Of course, he knew he sounded corny. He didn't care. Kagome was the one he loved. She was the one he wished to mate with; the one...he wanted to have pup's with.
She'd have to get used to his demonic rituals, though.
InuYasha kicked a lightpole. "What the hell am I thinking?!" he yelled. "No way in hell would she say yes!" He kicked the lightpole over and over until he lost feeling. He needed to knock the idea out of his mind. Him...and Kagome, forever?
He liked the sound of that.
Kagome was a complex girl; she was very simple. He knew she didn't like change, and she liked to go with the flow. She considered herself 'strange', and wasn't scared to say it. She liked to show clevage, but not too much clevage. She had a small tan to her complection, but it only made her look ten times as beautiful. Last, but not least: she had a rude attitude that could knock him dead; he liked that in her. The half demon hadn't dated many girls like Kagome in his 18 years of living.
He started to wonder why.
Kikyo was different.
Unlike Kagome, she had the spunk; but, it got out of control sometimes. She resulted in violence too much, and hurt others without regret. She considered herself 'normal', and was scared to say it. Her attitude was rude as well, but the rudeness didn't suit her. It only made her look even more dangerous than she already looked. She liked to show far too much clevage, and tanned alot.
Kagome Higurashi...
Kikyo Shikon...
Kagome...
Kikyo...
Kagome Shikon...
Kikyo Higurashi...
'What the hell?' InuYasha rubbed his temples. Why had he mixed up Kagome's and Kikyo's names? Shaking his head, he crossed the street, and continued his journey home.
He could smell Kagome's scent. Her body wasn't active; she was tired.
She was...outside!
'No,' InuYasha said to himself. He walked threw the grass to his frontdoor. The lights were on. He was told by Sango and Ayame to leave them off before he left. 'Wonder if everybody's home,' he wrapped his claw around the gold doorknob, and turned it.
"InuYasha's home," he said under his breath; desperatly hoping nobody would hear him. But, living in a house practically filled with demons, someone had to notice his existance.
Plus, there was the fact that there was a demon out of his family in his house.
"Took you long enough," a voice mumbled. "We're been waiting on you for twenty minutes!"
InuYasha made his way towards the voice; the living room. "I got what you wanted...oh, and don't you two worry about paying me back," he said with a glare.
"Don't worry, we won't," Sango replied; not taking her eyes off the television. She dug into the bag for her frosted coffee, and her jelly-filled doughnut.
InuYasha sat on the couch, eyeing the two girls before him. He was seeing a new side of them. Shoving their faces full of food? Belching like maniac's? Having the sudden urge to scratch themselves in public and not give a care? For a second, the demon thought he was staring at Miroku and Kouga. He snickered, and stole Sango's doughnut from her hand. He ripped a piece of it off, and gave it back to her. "I paid for it," he stuck his tongue out to prove his point.
His attention was given to the silent wolf demon. Her dark green eyes were plastered to the television. "What's got you so interested in a box?"
"Shut up," Ayame spat out. "Kris has to choose between Junior and Matt."
"She picks Matt. You know that."
"I said to shut up," Ayame turned and glared at him. "Just watch," she put her finger on her lips, and turned back to the television. "This scene reminds me so much of Kouga and myself."
"So?"
"Junior gave Kris a horse, doesn't that mean anything to you?" Ayame asked, as she shoved her face full of the chips InuYasha had gotten her. "They had sex in a trailer, doesn't that sound romantic?" She sighed at the scene before her. "I really hope she picks Junior."
"I say Matt and Junior should both rot in hell," InuYasha said with crossed arms. "Look at them. They look like damn idiots fighting over some chick that's not even good looking," he stated. "If it were someone prettier, sure go ahead; but Kris, no."
Ayame stared at him; jaw dropping.
"Why you-" Sango rolled her hand into a fist.
"No," she said with a smile. "Let him talk."
"Why's the show called Wildfire, anyways? I mean, come on, think of something more creative," InuYasha said under his breath. "It's the name of a horse, so what? You don't see me with my own TV show about some half demon that travels threw the feudal era, now do you?"
"Who do you think Kris will choose?" Ayame asked with a squeal.
InuYasha laughed. "No doubt she'll pick Junior."
"YES!" Ayame jumped out of her spot on the floor, and squealed. "I KNEW IT!"
Sango stared at them. "Wow," she said with a small smile. 'I miss her already...but, InuYasha's not a bad Kagome replacement.' She sighed at how hard Ayame would fall to get advice.
"InuYasha; I'm wearing a pink dress to the dance. Now...what color should I get my nails done?" Ayame asked, as she held her claws out. "I was thinking of just getting them done a darker shade of pink, or a lighter-"
"No," InuYasha said with a glare. "Yellow," he smiled to prove his point. "Not duck yellow, but a light yellow. It'll stand out and bring out your eyes." He tried to hide the grin forming on his feautures. 'Lemonade alright.'
Sango gasped. 'That was what I was going to say!' She scooted closer to the half demon. "Alright. Let's say I want to wear a gorgeous white dress, and you don't have a clue what it looks like. How should I do my hair?"
"Most white dresses are sleeveless," InuYasha responded. "It'd be best to show off your shoulders."
She gasped, again. "Nice work. How'd you like to go shopping with us tomorrow?"
InuYasha looked to the side. 'I'm a damn fool.'

InuMon18/BleuEyedGirl201 Conversation-
InuYasha laid the sleeping Sango in his mother's bed. Standing strait, he put the blanket over her shoulder. "Night," he mumbled, as he yawned.
Talking about fashion seemed extremally gay of him, but it put two prolix girls to bed; thank the heavens.
"You did good," Mrs Tashio said with a smile. "How long are you going to have girls chase after you?" she asked. "You know, it won't help Kagome," she pointed out.
"They're my friends," InuYasha said in a stern tone; trying hard to not let his mother know he was tired. "How was the movie?"
"Fine," Mrs Tashio got in bed next to Ayame. She leaned her back against the wood of the bed. "How was staying at home alone with two girls?"
"Mom!" InuYasha said in a loud whisper. "I've got a girlfriend!"
"I know you do," his mother said with a giggle. "Sango and Ayame are you friends, I understand that," she slightly turned serious. "Where's Ukyo?"
"You expect me to know that?"
She nodded. "I haven't seen her today. If she's not back by tomorrow afternoon, you're going searching," she said with a glare. "What about the dance?"
"What do you mean?" InuYasha asked. He sat next to her.
"Going with a certain girl named Kagome Higurashi?"
InuYasha blushed, and turned to the side. "What's your point?" he asked, as the door opened. 'Go the fuck away!' he pleaded, as he hoped he didn't do something to upset his older brother. "Good morning," he said, while looking at the clock. 1:27am.
"Good night," Sesshomaru replied; right after his little brother had said his words. He silently closed the door behind him.
"How nice of him," Mrs Tashio said with a smile. "He's being nice to you. Isn't that great?"
InuYasha said nothing. He stood and stretched his arms. "Night," he said with a smile, as he made his way towards the door. His mother had caught his attention on something.
The dance.
The last day Kagome would be in Tokyo.
Then, she'd be gone.
The world would end.
'I can deal with it,' the hanyou said to himself with some pride. He casually walked down the hall. He slightly limped from kicking his foot into the lightpole several times. As he made his way towards his room, a scent filled his nose. Jasmine and Honeysuckle.
He swung his door open, and smiled. He walked towards his bed, where his little 'gift' was. Picking up the card, he noticed his jacket on his computer chair.
'Hey hun. Just felt like saying I'm sorry I couldn't spend the rest of the day with you! I'll make it up, I promise! In the mean time, please get online. I hope you get this soon! If you're not busy, I need to talk to you about something. Not now, of course, but later. How are Sango and Ayame doing?
ILY,
Kagome'
"How sweet."
InuYasha turned. "How'd you get in here?" he asked, as he stood his ground. "I knew you weren't going to bed," he said under his breath. He gripped the card in his claw.
Sesshomaru laughed. "What makes you think I'm going to do anything?' he questioned, as he recongnized the look on InuYasha's face. He meant business. "I see you're in the middle of a lovefest, so I'll leave you alone..." he made his way towards the door.
"Wait."
He stopped; a nice smirk was formed on his face. "Yes?"
"What does it mean when she wants to talk to me about something?" InuYasha asked. "I need to know," he stared at the letter, as if he had a thread that would end his life on it. "I don't get it. She normally tells me everything."
"Just hope she's not pregnant."
When InuYasha lifted his head, his brother was gone. "Bastard." He walked to his computer, and sat in the chair. Since it was already on, she signed on Yahoo! Messenger.
"Welcome, you've got mail!" the mirco man said in a bazed tone.
InuYasha put his cursor on the mail sign. Clicking on it, all his messages popped-up. They were all spam; all 27 of them.
"Kagome said to get online," he said, as he smacked himself in the face. She obviously must have meant for him to get on his messenger.
InuMon18 has Signed-On

Morning- Super Sonic
Groans could be heard throughout the room, as sunlight filled it. It was a perfect morning to do whatever you wanted; no matter what. The sun was shining bright in the sky, and the day was going to be wonderful. Birds were already awake, finding food to feed their chicks; then, teach them to fly.
"Wake up sleepy head!" Miroku said with a smile. "Since I'm not drunk anymore, we can go out today!"
Kouga rolled over on Kagome's bed. "Get lost. You should still have a hangover." Little did he know that Miroku was a monk. All the alcohol had been purrified already; such a cruel world.
"Aw, don't be like that," the monk said with a glare. "It's a nice day. Speaking of a nice day...someone's missing it," he pointed to the sleeping Kagome slouched over in her computer chair; her keyboard acting as her pillow. "Think we should wake her?"
"I'm up," a tired voice mumbled.
Kagome opened her eyes, and sat up strait. "We're not going anywhere, until I can get a shower. I'm not going anywhere with Naomi's handwritting on me," she pointed to her arm. The blue ink looked somewhat like a bruise. A bruise that looked like a buffalo...
Miroku and Kouga nodded.
Kagome thanked them, and walked across her room to her bathroom. Opening the door, she gave Miroku a good glare. "I'm locking the door."
"Fair enough," the monk said with a smile. "I wouldn't trust me, either."
Kagome laughed and closed the door.
Miroku waited for the shower to turn on. "How do you think she's feeling?" he asked with a sigh. "She doesn't approve of the face that she's leaving in four days. How do we make her last few days meaningful?"
Kouga shrugged his shoulders. "It'd be easier if she was the mutt."
"Well, she's dating the mu-...I mean, InuYasha," Miroku said with crossed arms. "They do have alot in common..."
"Such as?" Kouga asked, as he sat up strait. "Besides the fact that they're both being held hostage."
"I don't know," Miroku rubbed his temples in frustration. "They've been together since the end of school, and all summer. They've had mild fights, but always ended up staying together. And, I'm pretty sure InuYasha's told Kagome he loves her."
"Fascinating," was all the wolf demon could say. "...you think we should give her back to Sango and Ayame? They're her bestfriends, and she's not gonna see then for God know's how long."
"No way," Miroku cowardly said. "InuYasha would skin us alive if he finds a hair out of place on Kagome's head. Besides, he'll have to hurt her, to get to us."
"Get who?"
Miroku gasped, and turned around. "That was fast. I'm waiting for Sango for atleast an hour when she has to take a shower."
Kagome smiled. "I'm not Sango, now am I?" She walked towards her mirror, and grabbed a comb. "Where do you two wanna go today?" she asked. 'I guess I should feed them first,' she said to herself, as she combed her wet hair.
She wasn't dressed up at all.
All she was wearing was a gold shirt, a matching belt, and dark blue jeans.
"Anywhere where InuYasha's not," Miroku quickly answered. "You guys think I could go home and change?"
Kouga and Kagome nodded.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
The Delema of Happyness-
"Turn right," Ayame instructed. "It's not that far, I promise," she said with a sigh. "I can't believe that we've been driving all over the city-"
"Just to find the store where your prom dress is supposed to be delivered," Sango spat out from the frontseat. She was in a bad mood. She knew InuYasha knew, so did she. 'I miss her so much.'
InuYasha rolled his eyes, and flicked on his right turning signal. "You're sure?" he asked, as he drove past a building. Cap'n® Crunch Corporation. "You could just be wrong again," he said under his breath. "Which street?"
"Maple Avenue," Ayame read from her arm. She had gotten the instructions from her mother that morning. She just happened to not have a piece of paper with her. "I can't wait for you guys to see it! InuYasha, I want you to tell me if it looks sexy or not. If it doesn't, I'm taking it back."
"But, it came all the way from England?!" Sango shouted. "Why send it back, when you can give it to me?"
"Must you two talk about what you're wearing infront of me?" the hanyou bickered. "You both know damn well that I'll go tell your boyfriends."
"We know," both girls said with giggles. "We want you to tell them. Kagome was supposed to do it, but, fate had to give us you as a replacement."
Ayame laughed, and looked out the window. "Stop here," she pointed to a huge white building.
It had picket fences, and gnomes in the yard. "I'll be back in a few," she got out of her convertable that she let InuYasha drive, and walked down the strange lawn. Her first aspect was to think someone actually lived at the development.
Sango yawned.
"Tired?"
She smiled, and took Kirara out of her purse. "Alittle..." she trailed off, and tried to get a useful conversation going between herself and InuYasha. "Are you going to the dance? I saw Naomi's message on Kagome's arm. She's gonna kill you," she said with a pointed finger.
InuYasha smirked. "I can't help it if every girl I know's after me," he stated, as the smirk fell. "She won't let me live if she finds out if I do go with Naomi."
"So you're saying that you're not going with your girlfriend?"
"I didn't say that," InuYasha turned to her. "Is it true Naomi's gonna purify me if I say no?"
Sango nodded. "I heard the whole thing. What bothered me was that Naomi was talking to Kagome as if she didn't know you were dating her...wouldn't she know, though? I mean, Kikyo used to date you, and she's in SHS."
InuYasha gasped. "Kagome saw Kikyo?" He prayed his answer would be a 'no'. That meant Kagome was bundling up all her anger; just for him. 'Damn!' He reached for his phone. He never noticed it was vibrating in his pocket.
1 Text Message.
InuYasha opened it, and smiled at the phonenumber. 'Wonder what she wants?' he said to himself. He pressed the 'read' button with his thumb. He waited for several seconds as his phone picked up the message.

'hey! miroku and kouga took me out to eat at sonic! where can we all meet together?'
&&&&&&&&&&&&
"You two sure you don't want me to pay?" Kagome asked, as she reached to pull out her wallet. It didn't feel right to her to be taken out to breakfast. She simply sighed, when she got a 'yes', as a reply.
Sulking in her seat, she ate. "Thanks."
The two men nodded. "It's not everyday we get to take our friends' girlfriend out!"
Kagome smiled, and flinched when she felt her phone vibrate in her right hand. She hoped it was from InuYasha. Her plan was to get her friends back together, so she could have some time with her boyfriend. She was counting the days and hours, until she'd be gone; forever.
Not forever, of course. But, she'd be in Kyoko...without her friends. Without her family. Without...InuYasha. 'I'm gonna miss him so much.'
When Miroku and Kouga weren't looking, she flipped her phone open. 'Okay, all I need is a place and time, and I'm set.' She went to her text message portion of her cell phone.

'the mall.'
&&&&&&&&&&&&
What Goes Around-
"Ready ladies?" Kikyo asked, as she opened the mall doors. "After you."
Kimiko nodded, and entered. "Naomi, come on. InuYasha will be honored to go to the dance with you after this," she said with a smile. "If he still doesn't, you're screwed," she said under her breath. "I have to admit that InuYasha's one hard shell to crack."
Naomi smiled. "I already picked out what he's wearing; again."
Kikyo snickered. 'Higurashi won't know what hit her; literally.'
&&&&&&&&&&&&
"You ready guys?" Kagome asked, as she got out of the backseat of her car. "Since I'm the only girl, we're going shopping!"
"That doesn't make any sense," Miroku said in a baffled tone, as he got out of passengers door. "You're outnumbered."
"He's right."
Kagome shook her head, and grabbed both of their hands. She led the way into the mall...right into the prank of a lifetime.

Bri Note- Nothing really much to say. Yes, I made up SHS! I thought it would be kewl to have chicks who have 'issues'. Physically and emotionally! What do you think is gonna happen? Don't ask me, cuz I won't tell you! Please review! This chapter is just to catch up alittle, hope it helps!
Naomi: nay-oh-me
I could use some advice. Pick a title for my next story! I was thinking of 'Cross Country.' No, you can't know what it's about, but it's supposed to be a comedy/reality!
