A/N: Don't worry, Ame Tenshi, I wasn't going to make Kagome like that. Anyways, let me get on.

Chapter 2: Two can play that game
Inuyasha looked around. The table consisted of Kikyo, Kagura, Kanna, Yura, Kouga, Sesshoumaru, and Naraku. Each of them having an extensive background.
There was Kikyo Hinasaka. All the girls envied her because of her good looks, not to mention popularity. People were saying that she and Kagome looked similar, and they did except for that fact that Kikyo's hair was longer.
Kagura Kirei was very narcissist and usually wore her hair piled up on top of her head. She was always staring in her mirror.
Kanna Kirei is Kagura's 9th grade sister and a little nice. But sometimes when people hit the mark with her, she'd get mad and turned into a completely different person. Since she was kin to Kagura, she was allowed to sit at their table, which was marked by some students as the 'Cool' table.
Yura Orihara was very ecchi, and usually wore skimpy outfits and red eye shadow. But if she ever heard someone call her a slut she'd make you sorry you said that.
Kouga Kimura had long black hair that was always in a ponytail. Inuyasha and he had been rivals ever since forever basically.
As for Sesshoumaru, he was Inuyasha's 12th grade brother. They didn't really get along either. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha had nothing in common, but resembled each other with their silky, silver hair.
And last, and least in Inuyasha's book, was Naraku. He was a pure bad boy and had the strength to prove it. Once he and Inuyasha got into a fight. But that was grade school…
"Inuyasha? Is it true?" Kikyo asked with wide eyes.
Inuyasha blinked back to reality. "Huh?"
Kikyo lowered her eyes. "So… About you and Higurashi…"
He smirked. "I know you're wondering, and yea, we did break up."
She flashed a smile. "Just so you know, I'm single, but I am sad to know that you two are finished," she said in a tone less than sympathetic. She might have said that out-loud, but inside she was dying for them to break up. Actually she was thrilled; overjoyed… you get the point. Kikyo had liked Inuyasha since 1st grade, but she had been too shy to tell him.
"You two should hook up," Yura said licking her ice cream, "I, on the other hand, prefer to keep my options open."
Kouga grinned. Now it was his chance. Hearing that was like music to his ears. He had liked Kagome for the longest and now it was his turn. Kouga suddenly rose from the table. "I'm going to go put up my tray."
"Take mine too," Kikyo said offering hers.
Kouga finally took it after a string of complaints. He dashed over to the trashcan and disposed of the trays. Time to operate plan Get Kagome.
He flashed his sexiest smile and headed over to Kagome's table.
"Hey, Kagome."
"Huh?" she turned around and came face to face with… Houjo.
"So how are you?" he asked with a bright smile.
"F-fine."
Kouga frowned. What was Mr. Perfect doing here? And talking to his bout-to-be woman… Oh well, he calmed himself. I got this.
"Yo, Kagome."
"K-Kouga?" Kagome was dumbfounded. What was up with this? This sudden attention.
He smiled that sexy smirk of his before saying, "I heard about you and Inuyasha."
"I did as well," Houjo interrupted. "I know this must be a hard time for you, but just know that if you need a shoulder to cry on, I'm here."
"That's kind of you, Houjo," she managed to say.
Kouga flashed a look at Houjo. Who did he think he was? Playing Mr. Nice Guy. Well… He was like that everyday. But still… The conversation was starting to get too peachy, time for Kouga! "So, Kagome, to drown out your sorrows, why don't you come with me to see a movie?"
"Or what about dinner tonight?" a low voice asked.
Kagome looked up and stared into the face of…Sesshoumaru. Which was a surprise, he had always said that he didn't like her…now he was offering her out to dinner?
Inuyasha flicked his attention back to his old table and hatred immediately filled his eyes. What the hell was Kagome doing? He stared in awe. They have a little argument and she drops him like hot food in your mouth. Well, two could play that game. And just when he had decided against it…
Inuyasha smiled at Kikyo. "But enough of that. Let me cut to the chase. Kikyo, would you go out with me?"
As Sango and Miroku headed back to the table carry9ing their trays, boy were they surprised.
"What a playerette," Miroku was saying, "They break up and she already has some boys on layaway. Even Sesshoumaru."
Sango shook her head. "No way, there must be a misunderstanding or something."
"So?" the boys asked Kagome in unison.
She didn't know what to say. I mean, it wasn't everyday that a bunch of good looking guys came and asked her out. But before she could reply, Inuyasha and Kikyo walked over to the table—holding hands!
"Hey, Kagome," Inuyasha said with a smirk, "we just came over to announce something. Kikyo and I go out now."
The words hit Kagome like a ton of bricks. She had to nearly suppress the tears that were threatening to fall down her face. She couldn't believe it. Inuyasha had thrown her away—just like that. And she had been willing to work it out…
Kagome wanted to slap him, she wanted to scream, but she decided that would only make him feel good about himself. She chose to reply with a simple, "That's nice."
"It is, isn't it?" Inuyasha answered trying to hold back his anger. Kagome was supposed to be crushed, to beg for him back, but she didn't. This angered him. "Well, we'll be leaving now." He gave her one last look before they walked back.
Great, Kagome thought. Oh well, two can play that game.
"I'm sorry," Kagome said turning her attention to her 'admirers', "but I'm supposed to be studying tonight. Maybe we could hook up some other time."
"That's okay," Houjo said. "We could save our get together for Saturday; go out for lunch or something."
Kagome smiled. "Sure."
"Well, bye." He jogged off while flashing his bright smile.
Sesshoumaru and Kouga both exchanged glances that evidently said 'We have to get rid of Houjo'.
Ending Notes: I hope they weren't all that OOC. Did you enjoy this chapter? If you did, just wait till Ch. 3. Lots of laughs hopefully. Koto-chawan ^.^
