Chapter 22

Rin sat at the table the next day with Souta, Grandpa and Mrs. Higurashi. She sat eating breakfast while waiting for Kagome to come down stairs. She couldn't wait to show Kagome her car, which had just, come down to Japan late last night. Rin looked her watch again it was five to seven and Kagome hadn't come downstairs yet.

She was just about to go up stairs to see what was wrong when Kagome came rushing down the steps.

"Morning mama, Grandpa, Souta, Rin. Sorry I'm late," she said in a rush and began to eat her breakfast. Everyone watched in awe as Kagome gobbled down her bacon and eggs and drank down her milk as if she hadn't eaten in months.

"Rin if we don't go now Sango and I are going to be late. Come on!" Kagome said and grabbed Rin's hand and pulled her out the door. Kagome ran down the shrine steps with Rin as quickly as she could. Kagome stopped suddenly when she saw Rin's car. It was a red jaguar with blue leather seats and a retractable roof.

"Do you like it?" Rin asked as she unlocked the doors.

"How did you afford this?" Kagome asked.

"Get in first and then I'll tell you," Rin said and sat down in the driver's seat. Kagome did as she was told and sat down next to her cousin. Rin pushed in the key, stepped on the gas and they were soon off.

"I bought this baby all by myself," Rin said as Kagome's eyes widened, "Before I headed off to college I worked at a fast food restaurant during the summer. I didn't really make much money so at nights I did karaoke and it went like that everyday for the summer that's why I never got to see you but all that work paid off when I finally got this car that I've always wanted."

"Must have been really tiring," Kagome said.

"It was."

Kagome then realized that they were nearing Sango's house, " Rin stop at that house up ahead," Kagome, said, pointing to a yellow house. Rin nodded and parked at the side of the road. Sango came running out of the house only to stop in her tacks at what she saw.

Kagome was in the best looking car that she had ever seen. Kagome noticed her and waved.

"Morning Sango. This is my cousin, Rin," Kagome said.

"Hi," Sango said and shook Rin's hand. Rin smiled and opened the door so Sango could get in.

Sango looked at Kagome and then at Rin. They looked so similar that's when Sango noticed a red mark on Kagome's neck.

" Kagome!" Sango said surprised. Kagome gave her a questioning look as Sango was pointing at her.

" What?"

" You g-got a...a hickey!" The car then came to an abrupt halt causing them to lean forward. The two schoolgirls' attention turned to Rin who was looking really surprised. Rin took a deep breath and started to drive again.

"You have a what!" she yelled.

"She has a hickey, Rin I saw it," Sango said. Kagome looked at them strangely. There was no way she had a hickey! She jumped when Sango pulled her hair, which covered her neck to reveal a red mark. Rin looked at it with her mouth wide open.

"Kagome what did you and Inuyasha do yesterday?" Sango asked. Kagome blushed lightly and pulled her hair away from Sango's hand to cover the mark.

"Not-nothing."

Sango and Rin looked at her strangely

"You're lying Kagome!" Rin said. Kagome's blush got deeper.

"No I'm not!" she argued. Both Sango and Rin were about to open their mouths when they had arrived at the school. Rin parked near the pavement. Kagome grabbed her bag and rushed out the car.

"Bye Rin. Come on Sango!" Kagome said and ran inside, knowing it'll be tough for Sango to find her with the entire crowd. Sango shook her head and waved at Rin.

"KAGOME GET BACK HERE! YOU HAVEN'T ANSWERED MY QUESTION!" Sango demanded and rushed inside after her.

Kagome gasped for air when she arrived at the door for her first period class. Luckily for her Sango wasn't in her Literature class. She pulled some of her hair in front of her shoulder so no one would notice the mark Inuyasha gave her.

Kagome walked into the classroom and took her seat in front of Kikyou. She sighed as she thought of what Sango was going to do to her. Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt a hand on hers.

"Why so glum?" a husky voice whispered in her ear. Kagome didn't have to look up to see who it was.

"Nothing Inuyasha," she responded. Inuyasha smiled at her and planted a kiss on her cheek before retuning to his seat. That was when Kagome felt a hand tap her back. She knew who it was and didn't bother to turn around.

" You know what I'm really tired of you bothering me," Kagome began, " Leave me alone!"

" If you breakup with MY Inu then I'll leave you in peace," Kikyou said causing Kagome to turn around and glare at her.

" I'm not going to leave Inuyasha because you tell me too! He's MY boyfriend not yours and I love him. I don't care if you send your friends to beat me up and I don't care if you're a miko! I'm not leaving him now and not ever!" Kagome said causing Kikyou's mouth to hang wide open. Kagome turned around and pulled her hair back to show the hickey that she received from Inuyasha. A couple of seconds the bell rung and class began.
