Chapter 18- Always Know who's Listening
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As they parted Kagome quickly turned and left his room closing the door as she left. Inu-Yasha heard her footsteps as she went down the stairs and out the front door. He looked around his room and took in her remark 'Oh and do clean this room up a bit'. He saw the heaps of clothing and various books, C.D.'s, ect. Lying on the floor and everywhere else it seemed. His computer was not visible as was his bookcase and basically all other objects in his room except his bed and dresser. "I guess I should clean up" he muttered to himself as he stooped down and picked up a heap of clothing.
As Kagome made her way across the road her mind fluttered back to what had just happened. A faint blush stained her face as she thought about it. 'I can't believe he just did that'. As she pushed open her front door she could see everyone already eating. She closed the door behind her and sat down at the table.
"Hey Kagome" Skye said
"Hi" Kagome replied still in a little shock.
"So where were you? Mom said you had gotten out of the hospital but you weren't here"
"Oh I just went over to say hi to Inu-Yasha" Kagome left it at that and started to stuff her face as best she could with one hand.
~~After Dinner~~
Kagome was currently at her desk reading a book. She was so engrossed in the book that she didn't hear Emily come in the room. Emily snuck up behind her and leaned over her shoulder reading a few lines in the book. "Heyo!" Emily said in a cheerful voice as Kagome jumped about five feet in the air. "You are too easy to scare you know that?"
"Don't do that," Kagome said trying to get her heart rate to go back to normal.
Emily just turned laughing and sat on her bed. "So what did you do at Inu-Yasha's?" she said.
"I just went over to say hi" Kagome said going back to reading her book.
"That's not what Sesshomaru said"
"And what exactly did Sesshomaru say?"
"He said that you didn't come down from Inu-Yasha's room for quite awhile. So I can just infer what happened because I know you didn't just say hi"
"I will tell you what happened…in Japanese. You figure it out"
"Hey that's not fair I don't know Japanese!"
"I went over and Sesshomaru said that Inu-Yasha was in his room sleeping and I should go up and wake him up. So I went up and knocked and when I started to pound on the door his dad just opened the door and went downstairs. So I went in and he was sleeping but something caught my eye. He had two white fluffy ears on the top of his head and none on the sides of his head. I wanted to pet them cause they looked so fluffy but then he woke up and I found out that he's a hanyou and then I was about to leave but he stepped in front of me and KISSED me. Then I came back" Kagome said confidant Emily hadn't understood a word she said.
"One minute I'll be right back" Emily said as she walked out of the room. A few seconds later Emily, Skye, Jill, and Bry went crashing through the door. "I am so glad I had Bry and Jill listen through the wall"
Kagome went wide eyed (something like this 0_0) and buried her face that had gotten red. "Hey why did you have two people listen?" Kagome asked
"So if one couldn't hear something and the other had we'd still have the whole story and not just parts of it" Emily responded.
"Wait how did you know I was going to even have a story?"
"I didn't they just wanted to listen in on the conversation cause they're nosy" Emily stated.
"Yeah, it makes good conversation at school" Bry said then started to laugh. Skye hit her on the head and she stopped. "Ouch" Bry muttered rubbing her head.
"I know just the way to have be so embarrassed" Jill commented as she left the room planning something that she thought hilarious.
"Erm…. now you're in trouble. She's seriously going to do whatever she has planned" Skye said with fear in her eyes. "Just be careful this week at school ok?" She then also left.
"Yeah I wasn't really going to do anything just tease you, but now you're a goner so bye!" Bry said and quickly backed out of the room.
"Great" Kagome muttered
"Don't worry about it I'm sure it's nothing big" Emily reassured her.
~~Two Days Later at School~~
Kagome was currently trying her best to run away from the mob of girls wanting to ask her questions or wanting to kill her. Emily was right beside her with a school newspaper clutched in her hand. They turned a corner and ducked in a bathroom before the mob could see them do it. "Phew" Kagome said as she leaned against the cool tile.
"So I was wrong it is something big" Emily said with a feeble smile.
"NO! Really!" Kagome screamed.
Emily just kept her feeble smile on and nodded 'smile and nod just smile and nod' she thought as Kagome went ranting on in Japanese.
Kagome finally calmed down. "Can I see that?" She pointed to the newspaper in Emily's hand.
"You really want to see it?" Emily asked wary of letting her have it. Kagome hadn't gotten a chance to look at what made the whole riot happen.
"Yes, now give to me" Kagome snapped. Emily reluctantly handed over the paper and Kagome struggled with the newspaper but finally looked at the index to find the source of the riot. As it turns out Jill is a writer for the school newspaper. The gossip column to be exact and as Kagome read her eyes got wider and wider. It looked to Emily like she was going to kill someone. "I cannot believe Jill. Why would she do this?"
"She did it because well it her habit I guess you could say. She's written about nearly everyone in the family that goes to this school" Emily answered
Kagome suddenly ran out of the bathroom hoping to find Inu-Yasha before he read what Jill had to say about it. No such luck, as Kagome rounded a corner she saw Inu-Yasha in the middle of a circle of friends his face growing ever redder. He glanced up and saw her. She just stood in the hallway like a deer in headlights when Inu-Yasha suddenly pushed his way out of the circle, grabbed her good arm and pulled her down the hall.
They stopped when there was significant distance between them and all the friends. "I am guessing that you read what Jill had to say?" Kagome asked
"You could say that, or you could say that I had it read to me by assholes that don't really care" Inu-Yasha said "How did she find out? I certainly didn't tell her"
"Emily asked what I was doing over your house. I tried to tell her I only went over to say hi which was my intention, but she did not believe me. So I said it in Japanese without knowing that Jill and Bry was listening to every word through the wall. I am sorry" Kagome explained
"Well at least you didn't tell her outright. Then I would've been a little mad but since she listened through the wall it really wasn't your fault. You didn't know she could understand Japanese did you?" Inu-Yasha asked
"No, I only knew Bry could but now I am going to be more aware of who is listening"
"Oh well, the student body was going to find out at one time or another right?"
"Yes. I suppose you could say that"
"Well, I should be going to class before I get another detention for being late. See ya" Inu-Yasha said and walked off in the direction of his first class.
"Wait, can we walk together? We are in the same first period after all"
"Oh yeah I forgot. Of course" Kagome caught up to him and they walked hand in hand to the first class of many.
A/N: yeah, I know very boring. Well somewhat but I promise next chapter things will be kinda weirder. And I won't take as long to update, I hope at least. The reason I didn't update for awhile is cause of evil HW and the fact I got Ranma ½ on DVD. That's all I've been doing the last week watching Ranma ½ part one…it's awesome! Anyway please R&R! I would appreciate it so much! Aufweidersehen ^-^
