Jade-inu – Maybe when they have met. You know, you reviewed the younger cattleya's fic. Hope you figure out who we are.
lonely_lil_outlaw – Sorry for the late update. As we said earlier, our computer betrayed us. Hope you like this chapter. Maybe in the later chapters, Sess would never reveal his secret. He would only think it is amusing that a girl thought of him as a female.
The Black Gotomon – Sorry for the late update, your highness. But our computer unlucky busted upon us.
Angel Blossom – We think so too.

Chapter 4: Gossips Stops When Pigs Fly
Kagome felt cheerful this morning. It really helps to have a friend or rather a chat mate to be exact. To pour your heart out… your soul… even your heartaches and problems without having a snide remark or comment regarding it. She doesn't want someone to pity her but just a friend that would understand her. lonely_cayote. She listens rather than judges.
She steered her car along the path towards her school. It was only a 30-minute ride. She's supposed to meet her friend in the garden to discuss about the upcoming event. Street party. It is usually held at the start of the school year to welcome new students. It is one of the most awaited events of the year and almost every popular student would attend. Kagome is one of those people. She's considered as the sweetheart of the batch and is a terrific archer.
She found a space to park her car. After stepping out of the car, she noticed that almost all of the students she saw are whispering to each other and the women are glaring at her. Uh-uh. I don't think they have forgotten the big performance the day before. She shook her head in disgust and headed to their meeting place where practically most of her friends are already there except for Cathy who is known for being late even later than her.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Kagome greeted her circle of friends.
"Nothing much… but you're late. What happen to you?" Carla asked.
"But don't forget Carla, Cathy is worst than Kagome. She's the queen of tardiness. And give the girl a break, she's only late for five minutes." Carol defended her friend.
"Where's Sango? Isn't she going with us?" Kagome looked around the partially empty field.
"Nope, she cancelled last minute." Carol answered.
"Why? I thought we agreed to go there together." Kagome was dumbfounded. The five of them usually go to parties and celebrations today, why differ now?
"Miroku invited her this morning so she agreed nonetheless." Carla supplied brushing her hair behind her ear.
"What about you? Haven't Lantis invited you yet?" Kagome inquired raising her right eyebrow in confusion.
"They broke up last night. Carla wasn't really into the relationship." Carol enlightened then glanced at Carla who only rolled her eyes.
Suddenly Cathy appeared out of now where and stopped in front of them. Gasping for air, Carol patted her friend's back.
"So… the queen of tardiness has finally grace us with her presence. We're so honored." Carla mocked circling her friend.
"What took you so long? You usually arrived 15 minutes after the due time and now it's double to 30 minutes. Something important must be up so… SPILL GIRL." Kagome demanded, serious on discovering the latest find.
"Kagome… Beware… I have heard… gossips… that our… neighboring school… have… found out… about… you… and Sesshoumaru." Cathy said between swift intakes of air.
"And what about us? That he stalked me in my locker and told me the Inuyasha's black eye was deserved? There's nothing interesting about it." Kagome muttered matter of factly.
"No silly… That you two are going out secretly." Cathy stated waving her right hand up and down.
"Demo… I'm not going out with him, we're not even friends. How is it possible for us to date? They must be out of their minds." Kagome said, raising her voice a bit as her anger boiled up inside of her.
Cathy shrugged. "I don't know. I'm just informing you of what I have heard. Don't be angry with me, I'm not the one spreading the rumors here."
"Oh my gosh Kagome you're popular." Carla exclaimed binding Kagome with a big bear hug as if congratulating her for her luck.
"And that same popularity can get me killed." Kagome uttered disgustedly.
"Don't say that Kagome or it might come true." Carol disagreed, worry printed on her eyes for her soon to be doomed friend. She for one knew how brutal the girls from the other school are, especially if they didn't get what they want.
"Girls, girls, girls… Why worry about me? I'm sure they could get over it in no time. And besides we've got bigger problem in hand… You know how hard it is to chose clothes for the party and distressing yourselves about me won't help in the tiniest bit." Kagome held her index finger in the air as if teaching little children how to tie their shoes.
The bell rang as they went inside the huge building. Going out to various directions to get to their own classes, they waved goodbye with the promise to meet again at lunchtime. Kagome still receive stares from other students but ignored it as her friend, Cathy, blabber on with what she think would look good at the upcoming party. It was a good thing she has classes with at least one of her friends at each subject or she would go insane with all the murmuring and glances directed to her.
At lunchtime they talked about clothes, shoes, how to style their hair and transportation to the event itself. Carla was in-charge with the car since she has the farthest house out of the four. Deciding to go to the mall after school for the clothes, shoes, hair and make-up, they finished their lunch as the bell to start the afternoon classes signaled them to go to their afternoon courses.
After the day's schedule, they all hurried up and went to the parking lot to get their respective cars and drove to the mall. Arriving at the mall, they waited for each other on the front entrance, Cathy being always the last. Checking from store to store, they picked the perfect dress with matching shoes that would make them look stunning and elegant. Going to their final destination, which is the parlor. They went to the front desk and inquired what style look better on them. Walking out of the parlor after two hours of facial and make-up, they all went home to get ready for the street party.
Kagome arrived home at exactly six o'clock in the evening, giving her an hour and a half to prepare for the affair. Going straight to her room, she laid her dress on her bed then setting the bags aside. Moving to her dresser, she opted for the dark blue nail polish. Applying it to her nails, she let it try for about 45 minutes while relaxing her body on the couch in a faraway corner of her room. After 45 minutes of doing nothing, she got her outfit and went to the bathroom to change.
Emerging from the bathroom, she grasped her shoes and put it on. The intricate design of the straps making her feet look slim and small. Fastening the straps by her ankles, she examined herself on the mirror. She thought something was missing and added a necklace pinkish in color on her bare neck, a watch on her left wrist, a bracelet on the other, and a plain pearl earring. Satisfied with her look, she went downstairs to wait for her friends to arrive.
Looking at her watch, she got worried when it read 7:40 and still her friends are not there. It took 30 minutes to go to the school from her house and surely they would be late. Hearing the screeching of car tires, she felt relieved and greeted her friends at the door.
"You know we're actually going to be late." Kagome said, shutting the door behind her and walking with her friends to the red convertible.
"You should be glad that we would only be ten minutes late. Cathy, over here got me delayed fetching you guys." Carla explained pointing her thumb at Cathy. "I had to wait for her 30 minutes extra."
"Hey, I've heard that!" Cathy pouted. "It's not my fault that I'm the first one you have to fetch." Reaching the car they all buckled up and drove to school.
When they arrived at the party, it was in its full swing. All was dancing in the center of the quadrangle as loud music blasted on the speakers by the side of the stage that was located at the front of the quadrangle.
Walking to the dance floor, they spotted Sango who waved at them at the middle of the crowd, squirming her way to them, Miroku in tow. When they got closer, the lights on the quadrangle turned off, a few gasps was heard and some even held onto the person nearest to them. When it opened again which took a few minutes, a large crowd of girls was seen at the entrance, all looking pissed off and scary.
"Who among you is Kagome Higurashi?!" A girl who seemed to be the leader yelled to the frighten crowd.
