Finally getting another one up- yay. Aaaannnyways, yes. I know everyone's a bit OOC, most noticeably Kagura, but they'll act more normal as time goes on. Oh, and- I've gotta give Kagome's friends names.... because... they don't have any... Um- how 'bout Tomomi, and Sora, and.... uh... um... Nyoko. ^^ Random, neh?
--------------------------------------------
While Kagura's admirers surrounded her, there was someone else watching quietly from a distance. Inuyasha was almost glad for the racket the boys made- it made him less likely to be noticed. He stared at the youkai girl with narrowed eyes. He was positive he should recognize her, but he couldn't. And, while her youkai self showed through her facade, Inuyasha could tell that she was hiding something else.
"Damn!" He muttered. Hiding under the mass of scents was an elusive scent he knew. It was so heavily masked, he couldn't identify it. Inuyasha cursed the purfumes that girls seemed so fond of wearing- some of them were strong enough to mask a person's scent almost completely.
Inuyasha gasped and backed further into the trees.The youkai had just given him a look that showed she knew she was being watched. The flat expression in her red eyes made Inuyasha decide that maybe he should choose his hiding spots more carefully.
Kagura scanned the crowd. "Hey! Kagome!" She called. Kagome broke off the agument she had been having with her friends.
"What is it?" She called back to Kagura.
Kagura eyed the horde of boys. She made an impatient shooing motion with her hand, and the boys backed out of her way, leaving an aisle for her to walk through. "Did you know..." Kagura said conversationally as she approached Kagome, "That your... Uh- boyfriend is here?"
"He is NOT my boyfriend!" Kagome insisted.
"And after everything you've said, too- doesn't denying get tiresome? ...All the same, say what you will. He's here." Kagura shrugged.
Kagome's friends exchanged glances. "He's here, Kagome?"
"That rotten, no-good guy you're always telling us about?"
"Er-" Kagome appeared to be at a loss for words.
"Yeah, he is," Kagura told them, before Kagome could say anything.
"Well then, avoid- um- what's-his-name.... Hojou. At all costs, right, Kagome?" Asked Sango.
"Yeah," Kagome nodded.
"But, Kagome, you really need to break it off with that guy. He could get abusive!" Nyoko advised her.
Sango gave Kagome an odd look. "What are you telling these guys about Inuyasha, anyways??"
"Inuyasha?" Asked Sora. "Is that the name of that awful boy Kagome's going out with?"
"Wierd name," Commented Tomomi.
"Yeah! Are you sure that's his real name, and not some alias?" Sora wanted to know.
"Wait! Did you contact him over the internet?" Tomomi looked suspiciously at Kagome. Kagome, Sango, and Kagura were just blinking and staring at the barrage of comments.
"I don't care what his name is, but I wanna know what he looks like," put in Nyoko. "Is he cute?"
"Er-" said Kagome. Sango and Kagura were shaking with surpressed laughter.
"Ears," Muttered Sango, causing Kagome to laugh too.
"What?" Asked Tomomi, who hadn't heard what Sango said.
"Hi everyone!"
Hojou. Just what they DIDN'T need.... Sango glared at him out of the corner of her eye. He seemed, however, not to notice in the least.
"H- Hi, Hojou..." Kagome said, looking less than pleased.
"I- I was wondering.... There's a dance tomorrow night.... Did you want to come with me?"
"Wh- What?" Kagome looked taken aback.
"Of course she wants to!" Nyoko butted in. Sango, Kagome, and Kagura all cringed. Ever since Hojou had showed up, actually, Sango and Kagura had been looking around nervously.
Before Kagome could say anything in her own defense, a loud bell sounded. Hojou walked off, smiling, to an instructor near a trailhead into the woods.
"Kagome-chan.... Won't Inuyasha be angry now?" Sango looked worried.
"Don't worry about Kagome, she'll be fine!" Sora assured Sango.
"I have the feeling that it isn't Kagome who she's worried about." Kagura said blandly, as she turned to follow Hojou.
---------------------------------
End of chapter 4. I realize that this was VERY short, and the next 3 chapters will be short too, as they follow where Kagome, Sango, and Kagura go during the day.... Anyways, I need 5 reviews before I'll start typing the next chapter up, so nyeah. Review!!!
