I got to gakkou early just so that I could park wherever I wanted to (who cares if people have "assigned" spots, they'll live).

I was the first one in our class so I just laid my forehead on the desk and tapped my fingers against the back of my head I looked up to see another girl come in, I didn't know her but since I was new I decided to be nice "Hi!" I said cheerfully and she came over and sat next to me.

"Konichi wa I'm Mai" she waved "Ok did you hear about the new girl?" I shook my head no wanting to know what people were saying about me, "ok then" she continued "See well I heard she came here on Friday two weeks ago, unfortunately I haven't met her yet, since I just got back today, it was a family emergency, anyways I heard she was like drop dead gorgeous and she like instantly started to go out with Inuyasha, like how is that possible I mean like he's the most kawaii guy in school and like she was here less than a week and she got him, oh yeah so then he like got mad at a guy who was like flirting with her and so then he like got in a fight with him and is now in juvy hall" She finished looking a me, 'this school has some pretty farfetched rumors' I thought to myself. "Isn't like that so tragic?" she asked and I nodded my head trying not to laugh "Well I heard he's gonna get parole in a few-"

"Hey Kagome" she was interrupted by a very cheery looking Inuyasha coming in the room and hugging me from behind, wrapping his arms around my waist and then kissing me softly on the cheek.

"Hi Inuyasha" I blushed deeply, at Mai's shocked face. "Uh I think I might be the new girl in that story" I said slightly embarrassed.

"I'm gonna kill Yuki" she growled angrily jumping up and stalking out the door.

Inuyasha looked at me "What was that all about" I smiled.

"Apparently you got in a fight over me and you are now in juvy hall" I tried not to laugh at the look he was giving me.

"You ok?" he asked I could no longer keep the laugh in. I burst out laughing, and accidentally hit my forehead against the desk.

"Ow!" I rubbed my forehead and looked at Inuyasha who just widened hi eyes.

"Now are you ok?"

Two days later I was just settling down into my desk when in bounced Sango she hopped to my desk "Festival tonight" she smiled "we get to go directly after lunch" then she bounced back to her seat and looked around calmly as if nothing had happened.

When everyone had finally finished lunch (they only eat slow to piss me off) we made our way towards the athletic field where the festival was already set up.

Inuyasha put his arm around my waist and began pulling me away from the group, but not before Sango saw us and laughed "I guess we'll see you later then Kagome" she looked up to Inuyasha then back to me "much later" I could have killed her but right now I was merely content to be in Inuyasha's arms.

As we looked at all the little shops set up around the school I noticed one that for no particular reason caught my attention I ambled up to it and looked at all the lil rosaries I noticed one that said subduing spell, hmm would that subdue people make them more calm lessen tension hmm, I looked up to Inuyasha, I doubt it would work but if it did…

"Umm Inuyasha can I get you one please?" I put on my innocent face he looked at me strangely then I put my hand up and ran it through his hair "kudasai?" he melted.

"Uh sure if you want" he answered gruffly and I picked up the one I had been eyeing and walked over to the lady tending the shop.

"Um excuse I would like to a purchase this" I held up the rosary, she looked to me then to Inuyasha.

"Is this for someone else?" she asked casually. I nodded and pointed to Inuyasha, she handed it to me and smiled.

"Arigato" I took it and looked at Inuyasha.

I gave it to Inuyasha "For you" He smiled and held it in his hand just then music blasted in our ears from our left on a stage there was about to be something of a small show or something I pointed and we walked over right before we were about to sit down.

"Inuyasha" I said a little annoyed looking at the necklace in his hand. I grabbed the rosary and placed it around his neck and smiled.

I sat down in the seat and looked up at him who was giving me a quizzical look.
I patted the seat next to me and said in an exasperated tone "sit dow-"

"THUMP!" Inuyasha was laying face down in the dirt.

I jumped up "Inuyasha are you ok?" I asked in a concerned voice, slowly helping him up.

He scratched his head "Uh I guess I must've tripped" he shrugged his shoulders and sat down next to me.

Ok the little show thingy was not a concert, it was a play put on by the drama department of our school, an I'm sorry to say that the student couldn't act worth beans. I'm serious, half of them got stage fright while the others just stunk.

Half way through the play Inuyasha took my hand and took me out far away from the show, not that I minded.

He wasn't looking at me he was staring off into the trees that lay at the end of our field.

I hugged him (sorry I just couldn't resist) and he put an arm down over my shoulder.

"Uh Kogome?" he asked as if he was unsure of something.

"Yeah?" I asked looking him in the eyes.

He gulped "Uh well uh since we kind of already are going out uh doyouwannabemygirlfriend?" my heart skipped a beat. Be his girlfriend?

"I'd love to" I stood up on my tippie toes to kiss him lucky for me he bent over enough so I could reach him. He wrapped his arms around my waist, and I slumped in his arms, he held me up and broke off from the kiss and smiled at me.

"So how does it feel to be the luckiest girl at our school?" he asked and for a moment I was confused, and then it dawned on me.

I slapped him "you are so self adsorbed," I said aloud as I made my way back to the festival.

"Oi, Kagome wait, it was just a joke" I heard him whine from behind me I snickered a little, he isn't so confident after all.

"Riiiiiiing" I grabbed the phone before it could ring again, great for once I had intended to spend my Friday night at home and have some non-drunk-non-Hiten-peaceful-Friday-night-TV-watching-time.

"Moshi moshi?" I asked into the receiver.

"Hey, Kagome watcha doin?" I smiled.

"Hey Miroku nothing, you?" I asked

"Same here" I could hear his voice smile "so is there any chance you'd wanna come over and do something?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Are you going try anything?" I asked skeptically.

"Kagome we're nakama right?" I heard him ask.

"Yeah" I answered, eyebrow still raised.

"And friends do stuff together right?"

"Yeah" I answered once again.

"So can't we do something then I bored beyond reason and I didn't feel like going to another party, especially one at Kikyo's house" I sighed, that was the other reason I didn't go tonight.

"Yeah sure I'll be right over" I hung up the phone and grabbed my coat. And trudged to my car.

"I can't believe I'm going over to Miroku's alone" I thought aloud "Inuyasha won't be happy about this" I shrugged and drove (18 miles above the speed limit) to Miroku's house.

I parked the car in front of his house and made my way up the walk and before I even got a chance to knock on the door, it flew open nearly knocking me backwards and there stood a smiling Miroku. "Well Hello Kagome I'm so glad you came he took my hand and led me inside.

"Would you like to watch a movie play ping pong go swimming?" he smiled cheerily.

"Swimming?" I asked and he nodded "That sounds like fun but I didn't bring a suit" I shrugged.

Miroku wiggled his eyebrows and smiled suggestively, "we can go without".

As you can probably guess Miroku paid dearly for that one "You Hentai!"

I huffed and sat down on the couch that I was near "serves me right for thinking that a single thought crossed you head with out being perverted and sick" I muttered under my breath.

He sat next to me and gave a sincere look "Gomen nasai, it takes a while to get used to" I wasn't sure if he was talking about him or me so I simply shrugged.

I smiled "are you ready to get your ass kicked at ping pong" he grinned at me as if he was going to say something lecherous but then he changed his mind.

"You wish"

After being beaten four times in a row Miroku finally asked for a break and we both collapsed on to his couch.

A/N sorry for the long wait had an emergency but it's over with so err Inuyasha and Kagome will find out what the rosary does later. Um if I make a booboo yell at me and sorry for my idiotness (is that a word?)
thanx
