Chapter 7:
Thoughts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome was miserable during fifth period. She kept looking at Inuyasha angrily, and he glared back at her just as mean. How could he ask SHERI out?! He'd only know her for about 48 hours!
When he showed up at her school, Sheri had introduced herself, and they really hit it off. Kagome had given him her baseball cap that she kept in her locker. Sheri had said he was cute, but she never mentioned she wanted to DATE him the next day!
Kagome bit her bottom lip, and stared at the overhead projector. Numbers and formulas in blue pen dotted the screen. She didn't feel like reading anything right now, so she turned to Sango.
"I can't believe it!" She snapped. "Inuyasha! Sheri! The most mismatched couple in history!" She kicked the metal pole that held up her desk. She felt like crying!
"Boy, you sure have fast mood swings," Sango sighed, putting her hand on Kagome's shoulder and squeezing.
"Inuyasha and Sheri just can't be together! I mean he's a hanyou and she's...not!" Kagome wailed quietly. She cared about him...probably just as much as Katsuaki...maybe even more. She didn't want either of them to get a girlfriend until she could decide which one she wanted. Now she felt selfish.
"Kagome," Sango sighed, "It's just a date. Maybe he just wanted to accompany you on your date? He can't go alone, he'd look like he was trying to crash it."
Kagome looked at Sango like she was an idiot. "Are you kidding? He LIKES her! You don't ask people out because you want to accompany someone! He likes her!" Kagome's voice was rising, and a few people looked back at her.
Sango blushed, noticing that Inuyasha and Miroku were staring. She found it amazing that Miroku was in all her classes and Inuyasha was in four. Interesting luck. Kagome was looking down at her paper, and she looked depressed.
"Kagome," Sango whispered again, "You have Katsuaki, why does it matter?" She knew that Katsuaki had made it up, but she didn't exactly want taint Kagome's image of Katsuaki, she was in love with him. Plus, she was specifically ordered by Kyoko not to say anything, because Kyoko wanted to know how Kagome felt. Sango found it amazing that Kyoko could find out anything in seconds, and she didn't need to be there. She was nice to Sango, and plus Kagome wouldn't believe her that it wasn't true anyway. In her Kagome's eyes, Inuyasha was *always* wrong.
"You really want to blow his head off, don't you?" Sango asked, attempting to cheer Kagome up. Kagome's response was an annoyed look. Attempting to change the subject slightly, Sango asked, "So what are you and Katsuaki doing for your date?"
Kagome smiled a little more, "We're going to FunBear Kingdom and then the beach. I imagine you wouldn't know about either." Kagome scribbled some notes down. Sango looked at Kagome's notes and compared them to hers. Sango could read, but all these funny words confused her. She copied anything down she didn't have.
~*~
After their fifth period, Sango and Miroku walked off leaving Naomi, Inuyasha and Kagome. Inuyasha and Kagome weren't speaking, it was obvious to Naomi.
"Ok," She sighed, "Come ON, Katsuaki made it up! Kagome, you don't think INUYASHA could get a date *stab*?!" She laughed, and both of them looked very angry for different reasons.
"I don't think KATSUAKI could make something that lame like that up." Kagome huffed, and clutched her binder closer to her chest.
Kagome thought to herself.
"Really?" Inuyasha snapped, "Well I bet you didn't think he went out with Kyoko and Junko at the SAME time, did you?"
i don't even know who the HELL kyoko and junko are! Inuyasha thought angrily. He was mad, very mad. How could she go out with such a pretty boy pervert?! That was as screwy as him sleeping with Naoko. Just the thought of that made Inuyasha want to gag. Or throw himself off a cliff.
"Katsuaki is sweet, understanding, gentle, he doesn't yell, and he's shockingly handsome. In simple terms, he's everything you're not!" Kagome snarled, still walking to their sixth period. Naomi was starting to feel left out and uncomfortable. She looked at both of them nervously.
"Well, he must be gay then." Inuyasha snapped back. He noticed the flabbergasted look on Kagome's face; she probably thought he didn't know that word. He had just learned it from Naoko this morning, and he was quite happy with it. She used it to reference to some kid named Michio, and Inuyasha had asked what it meant exactly. She looked at him funny, but explained it. He enjoyed 'expanding his vocabulary' as Naoko had also said.
Naomi gave a laugh, but when Kagome turned around and glared, she shut her mouth. Naomi stuck out her tongue when Kagome turned back around. Naomi sighed, obviously if they were going to say something to the other person, it sure as hell wasn't positive.
"On Friday," Kagome said to Inuyasha, looking up, "You'll need to bring a bathing suit. Mom bought you one, the blue shorts you know."
"Yeah, yeah." Inuyasha replied, he opened the classroom door for himself and Naomi, but it slammed shut in Kagome's face. She narrowed her eyes and glared at his back. She was angry, very angry. She glared even harder, listening to the chitchat of her peers.
"SIT!" She yelled from outside the door, and she heard a loud "WHAM" to alert her that the spell had worked. Kagome swung open the door, and noticed that Inuyasha had landed on top of Naomi and knocked over the overhead. Inuyasha sat up and glared at her, and Naomi looked utterly lost.
Everyone in the classroom was staring, all of them just as confused as Naomi. Midori looked at Kagome, and then at Inuyasha and Naomi.
"What the hell was that for?!" Inuyasha sat up and yelled. Naomi stood up and brushed herself off, and looked at Kagome. Her stare was still confused, but it had a twist of unhappiness in it. She knew that when Kagome said 'Sit!' that is had something to do with those dumb purple prayer beads around Inuyasha's neck. She had tried lifting them off.
"Yeah, that was some pretty interesting timing!" She teased coolly, walking over to her seat. It had to be those stationary prayer beads! They felt as heavy as rocks, but dangle around his neck loosely. She noted that had also glowed a little when they were pulled up, and they glowed again when Inuyasha fell.
Kagome took her seat next to Midori, who leaned over.
"You could use those beads for sexual purposes, huh?" He gave a perverted grin, and Kagome blushed.
"You sickko!" She shrieked, and Inuyasha looked over. The teacher told him to take a seat next to Naomi.
Naomi leaned over to Inuyasha and whispered: "What the hell is with that 'sit' thing?"
Inuyasha growled, thanking nothing happened when she said it. He fiddled with them, debating whether or not to tell her anything. He decided to.
"Well," He muttered, "Some old hag named Kaede put a spell on me. Kagome's the only one who sadly can control it."
Naomi's eyes widened. "Spells exist?!" She gaped, a little louder than she should have. Kagome looked over with a threatening look at Inuyasha. Inuyasha gulped.
"Uhhh...no...I'm...uhhh...lying." He smiled flakily, and Kagome looked away. Naomi frowned.
"Tell me the truth or I'll rip your ears off!" She growled, reaching for his hat. He looked puzzled, seeing her hands.
"I'm not a blind idiot!" She whispered, looking side to side to make sure nobody was listening. "I know about your dog ears! So does Sheri, but Naoko doesn't think they're real. I know they are, they move!"
Inuyasha looked like he had been proposed to; his eyes wide and his mouth open. Well, when he first showed up, it was kind of obvious...he had expected that nobody would look at the top of his head, however. He wondered if Kagome had told anyone and why Naomi still thought of him as friend with his ears.
"Hey, I don't think it's that freaky." Naomi stuck her pencil her in mouth as the teacher began her lesson on English. Naomi smiled, and patted him on the shoulder. "I don't know much else about you, so don't worry. I'm sure Kagome-chan knows a bunch about you. I bet you're an interesting person."
Inuyasha, still recovering from the slight shock of people knowing his 'secret', blushed. "Yeah, I guess she'd know about me. I don't know shit about her though."
"Ah, lovely." Naomi responded, twisting her hair around her finger. Inuyasha noticed how her hair reminded him of Kikyo's. It was so black and smooth, it seemed to be a deep purple. Inuyasha blushed.
"Mr. Ochida, please come up and introduce yourself to the class," The teacher called, her dark hair pulled into a tight bun. She wore a navy skirt and a navy long sleeved shirt. Her nose was pointed (and it seemed to be on an unfriendly level) and her eyes were narrowed. Inuyasha thought that she looked like she hadn't changed her expression for 700 years.
He walked up to the front of the classroom, the teacher keeping a direct eye on him. Inuyasha gulped.
"Don't worry," The teacher, Mrs. Ozaki, replied, "My bark is at least a thousand times worse than my bite...well, depending on who you are." She gave a half smile. "Tell us a little about yourself." Her expression stayed the same.
"Well, there isn't really much to say about me," He replied, looking towards Naomi, "I'm not that interesting."
"Everyone has something to say, we all have stories." Mrs. Ozaki's voice was calm and collected. Inuyasha could tell she was eyeing his hat, but Mrs. Kobayashi had given Inuyasha special permission. Well, she didn't know about his ears, Ms. Higurashi had simply requested it.
Inuyasha noticed Kagome glaring at him, her gray eyes cold and disapproving.
Their gazes were locked, and the entire class seemed to notice. Even as Inuyasha talked, his eyes were locked with Kagome's. Her expression softened a little.
"Excuse me," Mrs. Ozaki said in the most polite way she could, "But may I ask why you and Miss Higurashi are having a staring contest?"
Inuyasha blinked and shook his head, and Kagome's face turned scarlet. The class giggled. Midori gave a "Woof woof!"
Kagome slumped back into her chair. Inuyasha had been here ONE day...and it turned into hell for them both.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The school bell had finally rung, and all the little high school social lions were getting together for after school activities. Some people had classes and sports, but those like Kagome, had nothing to do.
Miroku walked next to Inuyasha, and they were a good twenty feet ahead. They seemed to be quite indulged in the conversation they were having, and neither Sango nor Kagome seemed to be welcomed in involving themselves.
"I've been so depressed," Sango groaned, "I can only wear my makeup on days off or Friday! That is SO unfair!" Sango held it in her hand, the brand written beautifully across the black tube. She sighed.
"What doe Sheri have? WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT HER?" Kagome fumed, not being able to enclose her thoughts any longer.
"You're still hung up over that?" Sango's ponytail flipped as she shook her head. "Like I have asked you before, are you in love with Inuyasha or something?"
"*blush* No! I'm not!" Kagome stammered, she felt as if she were on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She felt a chill, when suddenly, Sheri walked by and caught up with Inuyasha and Miroku. They both SMILED when they saw her. Kagome bit her lip...anger...burning jealousy...
"So," Sheri leaned dangerously close (in Kagome's opinion) to Inuyasha, "I found out that on Friday we're going to party on Naoko's boat. Only at the beach for about an hour. Katsuaki, that stupid sunnova bitch, changed the plans."
"I see." Inuyasha's reply was quick and simple, but it provided the exact information.
i want to go with kagome...not you, i know i love her
Miroku stepped back, and neither of the realized it. Sheri and Inuyasha continued their slightly productive conversation, and Miroku joined Kagome and Sango.
"Kagome-sama, may I speak with you?" He asked, and Sango glared. She walked up to Inuyasha and Sheri, attempting to join them. Miroku looked at Kagome.
"I've just spoken to Inuyasha," He said quickly.
"So...?" Kagome asked, gesturing with her hands. She was suddenly very, very interested.
"Well, he claims that Katsuaki made the date thing up, and that he and Sheri are in no way a couple. He also says that he says he wishes that you would forgive him."
"Really?" She blinked, that wasn't right.
"Well, it was more like 'I wish that witch would listen to me for once!'" Miroku inhaled deeply, "Inuyasha is not very sensitive to women. He doesn't treat them with the delicacy and warmth they deserve."
Sheri walked back to them, a warm and hopeful smile dotted her face. Inuyasha stopped along with Sango, waiting.
"Kagome?"
"Ohuh?" Kagome snapped back, her gray eyes suddenly becoming deathly cold. She could probably stare down Shessou-Maru right now.
"Look. Inuyasha. And. I. Have. Nothing. Going. On." The way Sheri had said it, like each word was a little sentence. She seemed to inhale deeply each time, as if to prevent herself from jumping Kagome. "Katsuaki. Was. Lying." Came out much more choppy and nervous.
"NO, he wasn't lying!" Kagome snapped, her eyes closed in defense.
i don't want to believe either...katsuaki wouldn't lie...inuyasha wouldn't love sheri though...
"Yes, he was. I know you don't want to believe-" Sheri was cut off by Kagome's loud scream.
"KATSUAKI WOULDN'T LIE!" Kagome shouted, startling anyone around her. "NO HE DOESN'T YOU DO!"
"WILL YOU FUCKING LISTEN?" Sheri shouted back, it was impossible for her to hold her temper back for more than three sentences.
"WHY SHOULD I LISTEN IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO LIE?" Kagome opened her eyes, and took a step forward. She bit her lip, and balled up a fist.
i wanna go home and cry
"YOU SHOULD AT LEAST UNDERSTAND YOU BITCH! THERE-" Sheri was ten times louder, at least fifty times angrier.
Kagome was dying to run.
"IS NOTHING" Sheri boomed, her confidence growing.
"BETWEEN INUYASHA"
"AND I! SO SHUT UP!"
Tears ran down Kagome's face, and she slapped Sheri harder than she had ever slapped anyone. There was a sickening sound, and everyone gasped. Sheri rubbed the side of her face in shock, and Inuyasha watched Kagome run to her home.
i wanna go home and cry
And she did that.
