Chapter 4
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome sat in her next class thinking about what Sango had told her. There's a dance next Friday…what am I going to do? She laid her head in her hand and stared out the window. None of the guys will ask me to go. I know that. Kagome bit the end of her pencil. But there's always hope…
"Ms. Kagome… Ms. Kagome! Are you awake?"
The spaced out girl snapped back to reality. "What? Excuse me?"
"You were spacing out young lady. Care to explain what you were dreaming about?" Mrs. Hosatashu put her hands on her hips and stared at Kagome.
"I well-" the girl stuttered. She could feel al the kids in the class staring at her. The teacher shifted impatiently.
"Daydreaming. Not good on your first week. Don't let it happen again, Ms. Higurashi." She walked back to the front of the room.
Oh man, blew it already. Some impression that made… Kagome forgot about the dance until later that day. For the rest of the class, she paid attention and took notes intently.
Kagome walked home a different way today. Ever since the previous day's encounter, she didn't like walking home that way.
Upon entering the street to her home, Kagome knew she was home free. Slowly she walked into her home and threw her bookbag by the door. "I'm home!" She yelled. Kagome slipped off her shoes and looked around. Her mom was in the kitchen preparing for supper.
"Hi, sweetie." She said very unenthused. "How was your day?"
"Fine, I suppose." Kagome walked to her mom's side and took a piece of chicken for their stir-fry supper. "Mm. Tastes good."
"Thanks. Oh, you got a call from a girl at school. She wants you to call her back. Notes by the phone." Ms. Higurashi said pointing with her fingers back towards the hallway.
"Really? Who was it?" She asked walking towards the hallway.
"I don't remember. It was almost as soon as school was over. I had just walked in the door. She sounded very nice."
Kagome picked up the piece of paper by the phone and quickly took it up to her room phone. She quickly glanced at the paper and saw that Sango had called! Why would she call me? Kagome wondered. She picked up the cordless and flopped down on her bed. She quickly dialed the number and was listening to the ring tone. /Hello, this is the *taiaija* residence.\
"Um, yes, this is Kagome, from school. Sango called me earlier. Is she there?"
/No sorry, she's at basketball practice. Can I have her call you back?\
"Yea. Thanks. Bye."
/Bye.\
*click* "Hm, wonder why she would have called so soon?" Kagome flipped over on her back and stared at her ceiling. "Then there's that dance next weekend. Would some boy actually ask me to go with them?" She rolled over on her stomach. "Who am I kidding? No body even knows who I a, let alone go to a dance with me. Why can't anyone just give me a chance? Like Sango. She seems nice…" Kagome sighed. "Oh, well. I'll see what she wants tomorrow." Kagome got up a walked downstairs.
"What did she want?" Ms. Higurashi asked, still working on supper.
"I don't know. She wasn't home." Kagome said walking back in the hallway to get her homework. There, she met her brother.
"Hey, 'lil sis. You have fun at school?" Her older brother, Sota asked.
"Oh, yea." She said sarcastically. "Tons."
"How's you head?" He asked in a brotherly manner.
"Fine. No problems." Kagome said getting her books and notebook out of the bag. "Hey, what are you doing home from college? I thought you had basketball practice today?" She asked walking slowly towards the stairs.
"Oh, when you were hurt, I just decided to come home for the weekend. Being Friday and all today." The older boy said picking up the passing cat. "Mom said she'd let me have a party tonight."
"You've made friends already? And we just moved here like, 3 days ago?"
"…Yea?"
"That's nice…" Spoiled brat…I wouldn't be able to have friends over…
"Yea, so, um. Listen, my girlfriend is coming over tonight. And she's bringing some of her friends from town. Can you, maybe leave? Or something?"
Kagome looked at her brother. "What?"
"Yea. Can you leave, like go to a friends house or something?"
"Why? Can't you just take them out to eat? Or go watch a movie?" Kagome suggested, sounding quite ticked.
"Hey, that's not a bad idea! I might just do that. Thanks Kagome!" The girls older brother gave a hug to the unsuspecting girl and trotted out of the hallway.
"…Air head…" She mumbled to herself. Kagome picked up her things and went back up to her room to work on her home work.
She sat on her desk for a few hours working hard on the next few days assignments when their rather large cat, Buyo (sp?) leapt on the desk right on Kagome's homework. "Buyo! Go! Get away! Shoo!" The girl said attempting to get the lazy cat off her work. But he just yawned and laid down right on top of it. "Fine. It's getting boring anyway." Kagome stood up from her desk and moved to the window.
It was now about 7 o'clock and the sun had just gone down. Only a few stars had appeared in the sky. Kagome opened her window to let the early spring breeze envelope her in a world of peacefulness. The fresh air was scented of freshly blooming Sakura trees. The full moon in the background made the night an appealing one.
Kagome heard a door open and close, and saw her brother walking to his car. But there wasn't just him walking to his car, but saw a rather beautiful girl greeting him. The girl bumped into Sota and snuggled up to him.
Kagome observed this from her window, unknowing to the two below. She could barely hear the couple's conversation below, though, she strained her hearing to listen in.
"Hey, Sota. You ready for a big night?" The girl said really oddly.
"Sure thing, Kayko. I am ready for lot-of-action!" Sota said opening his car door and getting in the drivers side. The girl got in on the passenger side.
"You better be ready for a long night too! Hope you got your beauty sleep!" The girl said. She then gave a little laugh.
Kagome didn't understand what her brother was doing. He said he was going to a party, but this girl makes it sound like something else…The two pulled away rather quickly and sped down the road.
If they're planning on doing what I think they're going to do…
*RING RING!*
"I GOT IT!" Kagome yelled picking up the phone that still sat on her bed. "Hello?"
"Kagome! Hi this is Sango!" The girl on the other end said excitedly.
"Sango? Hi. You called before too. Whatcha need?" Kagome asked leaning against the wall and crossing her legs.
"Yea. Can I ask you to do something?"
Kagome thought about what she could possibly have to do on her second day of being in a school like the one she was in. "Sure."
"Can I ask you to try the basketball team?" Kagome sat speechless. "Kagome? Kago~ome…"
"…You want me? Miss athletically-challenged to try and play a sport that I suck at? Are you crazy?" Kagome laughed.
Sango gave a giggle. "Athletically challenged, huh? Well, I just thought you'd be a good addition to the team. And I'll let you in on a secret the basketball girls have…" She said a little quieter.
That got Kagome's attention. "Sure."
"The girls that usually go out for basketball…get the hottest guys." Sango whispered.
Kagome laughed harder now. "You serious?"
"Yes! I am!" Sango giggled. "You know what else?"
"What?"
"I know someone that likes you…" Sango taunted.
"HA! Someone?! Like me?! That's a good one!" Kagome teased.
"I'm serious! Miroku told me today after practice. I was walking to my car, and he stopped me. He wanted me to tell you that. I won't say who it is though. But, OW! HOT CHICKITY MOMMA! You go girl! Nice attractivness…"
Kagome was really curious as to who could like her within 2 days of being here. "WHO! TELL ME!"
"Sorry! I got to go. My lil' bro wants to use the phone. Talk to ya later! Oh, and think about the basketball team would ya?"
"Sure. I'll see ya Monday!" Kagome said.
"Bye!"
*click*
Kagome sighed. "Me…and basketball…this should be interesting…and who likes me?"

A/N: hi everybody!
Sorry for the wait. ff.net was down and I couldn't sign in, meaning I couldn't post chappies!! But here's the next one.
I have a request of you guys. I would like 1 slow song that you think would be perfect for someone like Kagome to dance to with her date…*gasp* yes she gets a date…but im not sayin who!!!
Um…im going to work on next chapter ASAP. But it could be a while cuz school is retarded. Im sooo busy, its not funny. Mondays are packed, Tuesdays are just as bad, Wednesdays are terrible, Thursday is like a copy of Monday, and Friday…well…lets just say its like a copy of the whole week. And my weekends are terrible. I got club volleyball on Sunday afternoons…and Saturdays are just packed with stuff my parents make me do. So, I work on chapter 5 when I can.
Remember, suggestion of 1 slow song!
