*~*~*~*~*Against many people's better judgment I have changed my pen name
from nekokagome to still_smiling
Ch. 63 Going Study
I got home in a matter of minutes (which really isn't much of a feat since I was going 80 on empty streets) I dashed inside the house and tossed off my uniform on the way up the stairs, Kouga would be here any minute and I had to change. Well I didn't have to change, but after all of that running around and stuff today, well I decided that I'd much rather get out of my sweaty clothes then hang around in them.
I reached the top of the stairs (in nothing but my under garments) and ran right smack into my little brother and Kohaku. And I mean that literally, I was lucky that the crash didn't send me tumbling back down the stairs. But that really wasn't important right now, the important thing was I was standing half nude in front of my brother and my best friend's brother. Souta threw his hands over his eyes, Kohaku blushed and I just decided to bolt for my room. I quickly locked my door and took a deep breath, 'If this gets around to Sango she'll call me flash dancer till I'm 70.'
I heard a car pull up and I ran to the window just in time to see Kouga hop out of his jeep. I once again ran to my dresser and tossed on a pair of jeans and a Tee-shirt hoping that I would get dressed before Souta could get to the door he might decide to entertain Kouga by giving him a play by play of the incident in the hall.
I dashed (seem to be doing a lot of that don't I?) down the stairs and trampled Souta as I yanked open the door, I took a moment to catch my breath and Kouga raised an eyebrow, "are you ready to study?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~lol~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kouga smiled as he bent down to pick up the various textbooks and papers scattered around the room, "Thanks again Kagome. If I don't pass my sciences final I'll fail, and then I'll lose my scholarship."
"Your welcome Kouga" I picked up a broken pen that I had stepped on earlier.
"Um Kag?" Kouga asked with an armful of loose papers.
"Yeah?" I asked collapsing back on my couch.
"Not that the jerk deserves you but you broke it off with Inuyasha really abruptly."
I grinned, he had gained a large vocabulary by hanging around my house too much, (I think Souta teaches him big words when the group comes over), "yeah, but I had to."
"Had to?" he asked incredulously.
One explanation later.
"Interesting" Kouga said twiddling his thumbs.
"You could act sympathetic Kouga, everyone else did" I said giving him an annoyed look.
"How many other people have you told this?" Kouga asked changing the subject.
"Well first was Sango and Yura, then Miroku but Shippou overheard, so that's." I ticked them off on my fingers (it sounds better than I counted on my fingers) "Five including you."
"Kagome haven't you ever seen a mystery movie?" Kouga asked shaking his head.
"I don't think so, why?" I asked not seeing the relevancy of the question.
"Because you're not suppose to go off and tell everybody your suppose to keep the secret until somebody finds out and threatens to blackmail you." He answered.
"Why would I want to do that?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"Kagome, its just how you're suppose to do it, the people who make the movies wouldn't be so rich if they weren't smart" he answered, seriously believing that he was right.
"Oh well Kouga," I said with mock disappointment, "I guess I already blew it, nothing I can do now."
"It's ok Kag, not everyone gets it right the first time." I bit back the urge to laugh and just nodded meekly.
"I've got to go Kagome, It's almost my curfew." Kouga picked up his books and headed for the door.
"See you tomorrow" I waved at him.
I rubbed my neck and headed up to bed exhausted, that is the last time I offer to tutor anyone without getting dinner and a-
DING DONG
"Grrrrr" I stomped my foot on the stair I was on and headed to go get the door, "Who the hell wants to keep me from going to sleep" I asked myself as I opened the door.
"Hi again Kagome" Kouga looked at me nervously.
"Kouga what is it? I'm tired." I leaned against the door for support.
"Well Inuyasha was walking across the street when he saw me leave, and I think he got the wrong impression and."
I lost my balance against the door and I nearly fell over as the door swung open wider.
"Shit," I groaned, " Now he's going to think I left him for you."
Kouga sighed, "Kagome if you want you can tell them that you were help-"
I cut him off, "No Kouga you secrets safe, I won't tell. Anyways even if I didn't break up with him, I'm allowed to have whomever I want over. If he doesn't trust me." I didn't have the strength to finish the sentence.
"Um then goodnight Kagome" Kouga gave me an apologetic look before heading back to his car.
I mumbled something along the same lines and went up to bed; I really didn't need this to get anymore complicated.
"KAGOME WAKE UP YOU"RE ALREADY LATE!!!"
I rolled out of bed to the sound of my brother screaming this in my ear. "Oh my god!" I jumped up, "Why didn't anyone wake me up" I ran to my dresser and began tearing through my clothes, "Why didn't my alarm go off? Why is it still dark out."
I turned my snickering brother, "Souta I'm seriously going to strangle you I" grabbed my old baseball bat from the side of my dresser as Souta fled in terror.
I went downstairs still carrying the baseball bat, "Morning mom" I said as I sat down and looked at the clock on the microwave. There was no use going back to bed now, I'd never fall back asleep, and it wasn't worth the 45 minutes of sleep.
My mom sat a nice large mug of coffee, and I gratefully drank it down, slowly I was waking up more and more.
"Kag dear" my mom said as I finished draining the cup.
"Yeah mom" I rolled my neck around and stretched out my arms.
"Um why do you have the baseball bat?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hi Sango" I said without any enthusiasm.
"Look its Mary Sunshine" Sango answered back sarcastically.
"Sango last night Inuyasha thought he saw something and I think he thinks I left for Kouga, which may make everything either confusing and/or more frustrating, and thusly so I'm not a very happy person." I explained deliberately leaving out the part tutoring Kouga, a promise is a promise.
Sango shook her head, "Only you Kagome, only you." She smiled and we headed off to class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walked out of math, after spending three hours trying not to notice his angry glare lunch is something I could look forward to.
Of coarse it just struck me that we ate lunch at the same table, oh well it was a nice thought.
I grabbed a slice of pizza and went to go sit down, which was again very very tense.
Of coarse the tension rose when Kouga came and sat down in the only available seat at our table; Right between me and Inuyasha.
"So um," Sango took a stab at starting a conversation, "I have a date for the prom."
It wasn't a very good stab though.
"Really?" Miroku tried to play along.
"Yeah" Sango answered with fake enthusiasm, "You know Jean-Paul, the French exchange student, well he came up yesterday and asked me to go with him. Miroku do you have a date?" Sango asked.
"Well." He turned around and looked in the direction of a couple cheerleaders, "I'll be right back." He got up and walked over to the girls, a minute later he came back, "yes I have a date."
"What's her name?" Sango asked struggling to keep a conversation going.
"Um, " he read her name off of his hand, "it's Kita, she's a nice girl" he glanced back over to her and she waved, "a very nice girl"
Sango shook her head, "Shippou do you have a date?"
"Yep, a cute girl from my art class, her name is Aiko" Shippou smiled, "She says she like my banana squash."
"ok then" Sango turned to Yura, "any plans for the prom?"
"I've got three guys on hold, I haven't decided yet" Yura shrugged and went back to her meal.
Sango looked at us, "you have a date?" I believe the question was aimed for Kouga but Inuyasha is the one who answered.
"Yeah."
"What" Sango asked, wide-eyed, "who?"
"Kikyo" Inuyasha answered coldly.
I closed my eyes, he's going with Kikyo, three days later and he already replaced me? I began to feel tears well up in my eyes.
"Yeah I ran into her this morning I ran into her, she and I have a lot more in common than I thought." Inuyasha said earnestly.
I looked down and tried to blink back tears, 'he really likes her' I stood up. Keeping my face down I grabbed my lunch tray, "I have to go return a library book" I lied as a tear splashed down on the table. I turned and hurried out of the cafeteria, tears streaming down my face. All the while thinking, 'I've lost him.'
A/N sorry bout the wait but I forgot that I changed my penname so I have been trying to log on under nekokagome for a week. Until about five seconds ago when I decided to change the title and saw my little note at the top.
Don't laugh at the names, I went to a baby naming site and looked up Japanese girl names to come up with the names for Shippou & Miroku's dates.
Omg. You are all going to seriously hate me, I came up with the most horrible thing to happen in the sequel, I mean it is seriously evil. Don't worry no one will die, and the couple will eventually (unless I'm in a bad mood) get back together. If you want the spoilers please remember to give you emails address ok?
Luv ya all thanx
