Be True To Me

Chapter Six: Say hi to Shippou! And we all hate elevator music!

"Kagome, does the radio have to be so loud?" Sango asked, as the car swerved, and she was pushed against a smiling-way-too-much Miroku.

"Yeah." Kagome replied.

-+- Let's go back

Back to the beginning,

Back to when

The earth

The sun

The stars alligned

'Cause perfect didn't feel

so perfect

trying to fit a square in a circle

was no lie

I defy

Let the rain fall down

And wake my dreams

Let it wash away

My sanity

'cause I wanna feel the thunder

I wanna scream

Let the rain fall down

I'm coming clean

I'm coming clean -+-

"Where are we going again?" InuYasha asked Kagome, who was speeding down the road, and dodging random cars.

"My brother's school. Oh, here it is." Kagome said, turning into the parking lot.

"Wow. Your brother's in Jansen Jr. High? Isn't that expensive?" Miroku asked Kagome.

"Yeah. I guess so. We'll probably find the kaijii over by the football field. He's the one that's wearing all black. Over in that tree." Kagome told the group, smiling.

"The one with those water balloons?" Miroku asked.

"Yeah, let's go embarrass him." Kagome laughed, getting a funny look on her face.

The walked over, and Kagome climbed up to where Shouta was.

"Hey, kaijii. What up? Using the balloons so early in the year? And who are all those people down there?" Kagome asked her younger sibling.

"Oh, hey Kag. That down ther is Kanna, in the white shirt." Shouta started.

"Girlfriend?" Kagome asked.

"Nope. Prep. That's Yukiko, she's okay, so I won't get her. Ova ther's Kaede (young one ^ ^), she's a prep, though, so she's in the same categorey as Kanna. That kid's Kohaku, prep. And that one's Taisan. She's a kitsune. Not a prep, or anything, so she's okay." Shouta explained.

"Okay, hit list: Kanna with the white shirt, Kaede, Kohaku, and that's it?" Kagome laughed.

"Yep. Who're they?" Shouta said, looking at Kagome, while he pointed to the group of her new friends.

"They're okay. That one that just got hit by the girl is Miroku, that girl's name is Sango, oh, and the guy with the weird ears and long hair is InuYasha." Kagome told him.

"Okay, I'm almost done here." Shouta said. "You go and get Jennifer. I'll meet ya in a little bit, kay?"

"Sure. I'll get Jen, and you meet me at the Jeep in five minutes." Kagome called, jumping off the branch.

"What was that all about, Kagome?" Sango asked.

"Nothing. Come on. We can watch the fireworks from the car." Kagome told her, grabbing Sango by her sleave, and whispering in her ear, "You watch the boys, kay? I'll get Jen, and then after the festivities, we can all go back to my house for pizza or something, and I'll let you go thorough my closet, if you do this."

"You, Kagome Higuashi, have yourself a deal!" Sango said, shaking hands with Kagome.

"I'll be riiight back, so don't go anywheres!" Kagome called, running inside the school.

"I wonder why Kagome's bro got in this expensive school, and she got into Shikon. I mean, isn't Jansen, like, the best private school in Tokyo? They've got schools up till college, so why did she . . .it just doesn't make any sense." Miroku shook his head.

"I know, Miroku. But she did say that she has a step-dad, so maybe Shouta is actually her half-brother." Sango reasoned.

"Nah, I can smell the same blood line. They're blood related." InuYasha told his friends.

"Oh, really? I couldn't really tell. Seeing as Kagome has blue eyes, and Shouta has a hazel brown color." Miroku told him, a tad sarcastically.

"Feh." InuYasha replied.

"But don't you think it strange? How Kagome's hanging around with us, when she has upper-class people and stuff in her family? I personally think that she would've gotten into a better school, don't ya think?" Sango asked her two best guy friends.

"Hey." Shouta called, walking over.

"Oh, you're Kagome's brother, Shouta, right?" Miroku asked, as InuYasha muttered a, "Feh."

"Yeah, I am." Shouta replied. "I listened to your conversation before, and . . ."

Just then, there was a terrible shrieking noise coming from the other side of the big tree.

Two girls and a guy were walking over, and they looked infuriated.

"What the heck do you think you're doing, Higurashi? You could've KILLED us!" The dark haired girl shouted.

"You're such a pest!" The white haired girl hissed, trying to get the globs out of her hair.

"Higurashi, you freak! What the hell were you thinking! What is this freaking goo?" The last boy shouted, pretty much ruining the mood.

"Okay, first, no, I couldn't have killed you. Second, yes, I know I'm a pest, but the great thing is that, I keep coming back! Thanks for the freak comment, and yes, I was thinking that you're annoying. Oh, and about that goo? It's a mixture of rice pudding, oatmeal, raw eggs, super glue, rice, and the ever popular . . .ta da! It's tooth paste!" Shouta said in a happy voice.

"SUPER GLUE? EGGS? TOOTHPASTE? YOU FREAK! THE SCHOOL PICTURES ARE TOMORROW, I'LL BE HUMILIATED! HOW WILL THIS EVER WASH OUT?!? YOU- YOU- YOU- YOU FUKING IDIOT!" The dark haired girl shrieked, stomping off, and following her was the girl in the white shirt, growling.

"Higurashi, I thought we used to be friends, how could you do this?" The boy asked, feigning hurt.

"You went to the evil side." Shouta said, yawning.

The other boy growled, and swung his fist at Shouta, who was about to dodge, when someone else's hand caught the other boy's.

"That's not the answer." Sango told the other boy, and handed him a tissue.

"Yeah, whatever." He replied.

"Wait. Kohaku, is that you under that mess?" Sango asked, starting to wipe off her younger brother's face.

Knocking him over the head, she exclaimed, "Don't you have any decency not to fight someone, unless in defence? Didn't father teach you that?"

"Uh?" Kohaku started.

"Hey, guys." Sango called to them. "Maybe Kagome's dad is taking care of Shouta and Kagome's mom takes kare of her and-!"

"Sango-san, you've got it all wrong." Shouta said, grabbing her arm. "I got in this school because-!" Shouta was cut off again when Kagome came back, dragging two people by the arms, and two other people were following.

"Uh . . ." Miroku and InuYasha said, sweatdropping, seeing the two knocked out people.

"Who're they?" Shouta asked his sister.

"Freaking idiots." Kagome growled.

"Huh?" Sango asked.

"They're FREAKING SPIES FROM JIN AN' THE OTHERS TO SPY ON US! SHEESH! WHY WON'T THEY LEAVE US ALONE?" Shouta yelled.

"Okay, you lost me." InuYasha told Kagome and Shouta.

Shouta then put his arm around one of the people that had been following Kagome. "Hey, Jen." He told his girlfriend. "How's ya first day?"

"Okay, but I had to save Shippou from Kaede's wrath." Jen replied.

Shippou walked out from behind Kagome.

"Everyone, this is Shippou. He's a kitsune." Jen told the three confused teens.

"Oh, hi Shippou. Nice ta see ya again." Kagome said over he shoulder as she was hitting Kohaku, Kanna, and Kaede over their heads.

"Ya, you too, Kag." Shippou replied, shyly.

"Oh, Kagome. Go easy on that one in the middle. He's my stupid brother. My dad and mom split up, so he's rich, and we're poor. It's not fair. He's a spoiled brat, and-!" Sango's rant was cut off when Miroku and InuYasha started leading her back to the Jeep.

Shouta, Jen, and Shippou followed them, and then Kagome came too.

"What was that all about?" Sango asked Kagome when they were speeding down the street to the house.

"Nothing." Jen, Shouta, Shippou, and Kagome replied all at the same time, just as they pulled into the large driveway.

When they all got out of the car, InuYasha, Sango, and Miroku's mouths hung open.

"Stop with those weird looks, and come on." Shippou told them, and Kagome led them all inside.

"Hey, Kag. Me and Jen have *homework* so don't bother us, kay, Kag?" Shouta said to his sister, before pulling Jen up the stairs to his floor.

"So, what d'ya wanna do now?" Kagome asked her new friends, as she flopped down on the couch in the large living room on the first floor.

"Um . . .how about a game?" Miroku suggested.

"No spin the bottle, or anything like that, you perv." Sango warned him.

"Um, how bout truth or dare?" Sango asked Kagome and InuYasha.

"Alright." InuYasha and Kagome said at the same time, and starting blushing a bit.

"Okay, I start." Miroku told them. "Kagome truth or dare?"

"Hm . . .how bout truth?" Kagome chose.

"Tell us all about what your life was before you moved here. Was it good, bad, friends?" Miroku asked.

"Miroku, you know that's not a truth question." InuYasha told his friend.

"That's okay, I don't really mind." Kagome said to them.

"Well, it was pretty good. I guess the jocks were the only thing I didn't like. Specially the cheerleaders. And I had my friends, there was Satoshi, he was okay, and then there was Taren, Yuri, Auri, oh, Sano and Aaron. What goofballs. They were crazy." Kagome said smiling.

"Okay, next." Kagome said, laughing evily. "Sango, truth or dare?"

"Dare." Sango said with no hesitaiton.

"Okay, I dare you to . . .kiss . . .Miroku." Kagome said.

"WHAT? THAT'S NOT A DARE!" Sango shouted, blushing furiously.

"You're the one that chose dare!" InuYasha said, laughing.

Sango scooted over to Miroku, and leaned closer. A shiver ran down Sango's back as their lips touched, and Miroku didn't even grope her. He just sat there, letting her go through the dare.

'I'm sure she didn't like it.' Miroku thought as Sango pulled back, blushing a deep red.

'He didn't like it.' Sango thought sadly, moving back to her place on the couch.

And it didn't seem right, that they could never understand . . .that they were attracted to one another . . .

"Um, okay. InuYasha, truth or dare?" Sango asked her friend, who was sitting on the floor, with his eyes closed.

Opening one eye, he replied boredly, "Feh. Truth."

"Okay, why don't you like your brother?" She asked.

"He's a snob, that's why. And he's obnoxious, and annoying. And did I mention that he's a snob? He doesn't like me anyways, so why should I like him?" InuYasha replied.

"Fine. If that's it, who's next?" Kagome asked.

"I am." Miroku said quietly.

"Feh. Okay, Miroku. Truth or dare?" InuYasha asked.

"Truth."

"Did you like the kiss Sango gave you on your turn?" InuYasha asked, smiling at his friends.

Kagome got the message. 'Matchmaker, eh? Okay, we can play it that way . . .'

"Um, yeah . . .I did." Miroku whispered very quietly.

"What? I can't hear you, Miroku." Kagome said loudly, and Miroku blushed even harder.

"You didn't like it, Miroku?" Sango asked sadly, not seeing what InuYasha and Kagome were doing.

"Uhm, but Sango, I did like it." He said just loud enough so that InuYasha could hear.

"Miroku, if you don't speak up, forever hold your peace!" Kagome shouted in anguish.

"Sango?" Miroku asked. "I did like it." He said certainly.

"Oh." Sango replied, blushing a deep red color.

"Did you?" Miroku asked.

"Yea- yeah." Sango stuttered.

"OKAY, ANYONE FOR PIZZA?" Takkako called, walking in the room just at that moment.

"Nah, I think we're fine, right guys?" Kagome asked them.

"We're fine." Sango and Miroku replied, still blushing.

"Speak for yourselves!" InuYasha shouted, running in the huge kitchen where about twenty pizzas were stacked in a huge pile.

"You guys can have only one pizza for now, we're going to have company later in the evening, okay, Kagome?" Takkako called as InuYasha snagged a pizza, and brought it back to the others.

"Who's coming over, mom?" Kagome asked.

"Oh, Jin's family, the Fanels, the Terrinaka family, the Jansens, oh, the Earrts, and some others."

"You're not serious!" Kagome shouted, jumping up.

"Oh, Kagome, your friends can stay as well, I suppose. The kid's are all gonna stay here, and us grown-ups are going to go on a short trip. It'll only be for a week. Will your friends mind staying the week? I want some responsible kids here." Takkako told her daughter.

"No! I mean, they wouldn't want to babysit the others for a whole week, seriously, mother! I can't believe you invited them!" Kagome argued.

"Who, us?" InuYasha asked through his mouth full of pizza.

"No, the others." Kagome snapped.

"Dear, is Shouta home yet?" Takkako asked.

"Yeah, upstairs with Jennifer." Kagome said, sighing.

"Okay, then. I'm off to get ready. You can let your friends borrow your and Koi's clothes. I'm sure they'll fit them perfectly." Takkako explained, walking over to the elivator. "See you kids in a few." She said, before the doors closed, and she went up to her floor.

"Borrow clothes? Why do we have to, Kagome?" Sango asked.

" 'Cause of my step-dad's job. Gods, I didn't want to deal with them today." Kagome said, frustrated.

"Who?" Shippou asked, as everyone remembered that he was there.

"The bitchy spawns of hell. They're like energizer bunnies . . .just keep coming and coming and coming . . ." Kagome said, sliding her hand slowly down her face.

"Are they that bad?" Miroku asked.

"No, they're worse." Shouta exclaimed, walking down the stairs hand in hand with Jennifer.

"Have fun, you two?" Kagome teased.

"And just *what* are you implying, Kagome?" Shouta hissed, embarassed.

"Heh. Nothing." Kagome said, sweatdropping.

DING DONG! DING DONG! DING DONG!

"What're they like?" InuYasha asked, curious.

"Well, it seems you'll find out won't you?" Takkako told them, coming in the room.

"Come on, everyone. Upstairs till we get dressed in proper things." Shouta said sarcastically.

"Jennifer, Sango, Miroku, and InuYasha come with me, Shippou, go with Shouta." Kagome ordered, pushing everyone in the elevator, and getting them to separate floors.

"Okay, now Jennifer and Sango, go to that closet, and find something your size." Kagome ordered them, and then pushed the guys into the elevator. Getting them to her step-father's level, she ushered them out, and told them to go find something in his closet.

Coming out, the guys looked awesome. As in drooling a lake of drool awesome.

InuYasha was wearing a black tuxedo, and Miroku a blue, with no ties, but that just made them look good.

"Lets go check on the girls." Miroku suggested, honestly having no perverted intentions.

"Okay." Kagome and InuYasha agreed, and went down to Kagome's floor.

"How's it going in there, girls?" Kagome asked through the changing room doors.

"Pretty good." Jennifer said, stepping out from behind the screen.

She was wearing a long purple dress with sequens on it. She had her hair up in a messy bun, and had long silken gloves on her hands.

"You look great, Jennifer." Kagome sxclaimed to her friend.

"Thanks. Hey, Sango, come on out." Jennifer called.

And when Sango came out, Miroku's eyes got big, and his mouth dropped.

She was wearing a long silky pink dress that had no straps. It had sequens at the bottom as a hem, and swirled as she walked. In her ears where long silver pearl ear rings that were dainty, yet so elegant. Her hair was up in a bun, two pieces framing her face. Her shoes were elegant white ones.

"You got good taste, Miroku." Kagome whispered in his ear. He just nodded.

"You guys hold on while I get dressed." Kagome told them, and walked behind the changing room doors to the secret closet behind the second changing room.. It was where she kept her favorite things.

Five minutes later, Kagome walked out from behind the doors, and everyone gaped. She was actually wearing a knee-length red dress. It was a flirty one, you could tell. Her hair was down, and she had rose bud ear rings, and a necklace to match. The dress had spagetii straps and fit her perfectly, outlining her curves. She also had on very high red heels, that shined.

"Okay, time to go downstairs to meet the evils . . ." Kagome said.

The whole group got into the elevator, and it started to go down to the first floor.

~*End Chapter

Ahahah . . .yeah, that's all I have to say . . .
