Chapter 8: The Presentations

Kagome climbed into bed and lay down. It had started to rain outside. She stared at the ceiling and recalled what had happened earlier in the day. They almost kissed.until Souta had to show up and ruin everything.

"I am so going to kill you tomorrow in the morning, Souta!" Kagome smirked. She already had a plan.

"But why are you even doing this? Why do you care that Souta interrupted your kiss? I thought you said you hated Inu Yasha."

'Let me guess, you're my conscience, back to bother me.'

"No, I'm just back to help you sort things out."

'Sure.'

"You really wanted to kiss him didn't you?"

'No.'

"Oh, really?"

'Ok, ok. I admit: I wanted to kiss Inu Yasha.'

"I'll leave you to your sleep now, now that I finally have you admitting the truth."

'Whatever.'

Kagome smiled faintly and closed her eyes.

*****

The next morning, Kagome woke up 10 minutes early and filled up a bucket with icy cold water. Then, she tiptoed into Souta's room and dumped it onto Souta's face.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! COLD! COLD! COLD! COLD!" he screamed and bolted up. He blinked and saw Kagome. "Kagome!? You meanie!"

"Look who's talking!"

"No, looks who's talking now!" Souta scowled at her. "It's not my fault I ruined your 'moment' together with Inu Yasha. I mean, GET A ROOM next time! Anyways, Mom made me go ask you if you wanted to go shopping with her yesterday and when I sang the 'kissing' song, the answer was pretty obvious to her question.you wanted to stay with your boyfriend."

"WHA.." Kagome started and then pulled out another bucket of icy water that she was holding onto behind her back. She dumped it on him angrily and stomped out of his room.

"AAAAAAH! COLD! COLD! COLD!"

*****

Later in the morning, the sun came out. As Mrs. Higurashi dropped Kagome off at school, she shouted through the open door, "Have a great time at school with your new friends and boyfriend Kagome!"

"Boyfrie-? HEY!" Kagome shouted after her. "For the last time! He's not my boyfriend!"

"Who are you talking about?" someone asked behind her. Kagome whipped herself around and stood face to face with Sango.

"Oh, heh, Sango! So, done with your project?"

"Don't even try to change the subject with me Kagome! Who were you talking about?!"

"Um, Inu Yasha."

"Finally! You two are a couple!"

"WE ARE NOT!"

"Yes you are!"

"ARE NOT! It's all Souta's fault about this because he walked in on Inu Yasha and I when we were about to kiss and."

"Kiss? You haven't kissed each other yet?" Sango laughed.

"Stop laughing! It would have been my first kiss too!" Kagome defended herself. "Anyways, did YOU kiss Miroku yet?"

Sango stopped laughing and blushed, "No, but who would want to kiss a pervert like him?"

Kagome snickered and answered, "You."

Sango turned redder. She played around with her poster and said nothing. Kagome laughed and shifted her own poster to under her other arm.

"Oi! Sango! Kagome!"

Both of them turned around to find Miroku and Inu Yasha running towards them.

"So," Miroku panted and tugged at his dark, dark blue and white uniform. "How are you two this morning?"

"Fine," Kagome answered shortly.

"Um-wonderful. I guess.." Sango murmured. Miroku smiled at her. Sango looked up and blushed. Kagome and Inu Yasha stood to the side and whispered to each other.

"She's got it bad for Miroku, huh?" Inu Yasha asked.

"Yup."

*****

"Today is the day of your presentations," Mr. Tatewaki said after the bell rang. He had already taken roll. "Let's start with.."

He was interrupted when Kikyo pounded the door open and ran up to him. Everyone in the class stared at her. Some even smirked. Kikyo was all wet from head to toe, covered in a thin layer of mud. Her shoes were ruined and were covered in grass and dirt. The books that she was carrying were all ripped and shredded. Her face was bruised.

"What happened, Kikyo?" Mr. Tatewaki asked sternly.

"I was walking to school when I slipped on a huge rain puddle and got all soaked in dirty muddy water. Then, as I ran through the park, I tripped and fell in some wet dirt and grass. After that, I pushed a kid out of my way since I was going to be late and the kid's sister punched me in the face and I fell down into the sandbox that the little kid was playing in. The kid started crying and his sister pushed me down again when I stood up. She took my textbooks and ripped them all up. I got so angry that I started cursing and cussing at her. She punched me again and kicked me and told me to get lost. I ran away towards school and now I'm here," Kikyo said all in one breath.

"I'm so sorry Kikyo, but you're still tardy and we don't accept that here in school. You have detention today and tomorrow. I'm afraid you'll have to pay for those textbooks too. You may go to the girls' bathroom and clean yourself up."

"Arigato, Mr. Tatewaki."

"One more thing Kikyo, do you have your poster with you?"

Kikyo stopped walking and shakily turned around, "Uh, my dog ate it?"

*****

"Can you believe it?" Inu Yasha smirked as they walked out of first class. "Kikyo got an 'F' for forgetting her poster at home and she also has detention."

"Yeah," Sango laughed. "She is such a slut."

"I can't believe she was pushed around by an 8 year old!" Kagome smiled.

"She is so weak, dumb, and selfish," Miroku added and shook his head.

"Anyways," Sango changed the subject. "You and Inu Yasha were great. It was right of Mr. Tatewaki to give you both an 'A+'!"

"Thanks," Kagome smiled. "I know you and Miroku could have gotten the same as us if Miroku hadn't groped you near the end of your presentation."

"Yeah, Miroku!" Inu Yasha teased. "Groping wasn't part of the presentation."

"I know, I know," Miroku sighed. He walked over to Sango. "We will do the next project together right?"

"Maybe-AHHHH! HENTAI!" Sango screeched.

SLAP!

*****

"So, are you going to the dance, Kagome?" Sango asked as they ate their lunch.

"I guess so.."

"You know, the prom is coming up next month, isn't that great?"

"Yeah, sure," Kagome sighed.

"Aw," Sango put an arm around her friend's shoulder. "You poor thing. Nobody asked you to the prom yet?"

"Did anyone ask YOU?" Kagome shot back.

"Um, no."

Kagome smirked.

"So, anyways," Sango continued, ignoring the prom subject now. "Anything happening at your shrine?"

Kagome suddenly jerked up and smiled, "Yup! My grandpa wants to have this festival at our shrine so people can come check it out and it'll get popular."

"Cool, when is he having the event?"

"In about three weeks."

"Awesome."

"But there's one thing."

"What's that?"

"Well, my grandpa wants to do this sort of play and.."

"And what?"

"It requires two expert swordsmen, two expert archers, and a young and pretty girl."

"Why don't you be one of the archers?"

"I AM one of them."

"How about you ask Ms. Kaede about this? I bet you she can help you."

"Yeah, I will. But I already know who she's going to recommend as the other archer."

Both of the girls turned their heads around slightly and eyed Kikyo behind them. They turned around again.

"Oh well," Kagome sighed. Finally, Miroku and Inu Yasha sat down across from them.

"What took you so long?" Sango demanded.

"Miroku started groping Ayame in front of us and she shrieked and slapped him. She was going to punch him, but I was dragging him away and Ayame's friends were trying to hold her back," Inu Yasha explained grouchily.

"She is beautiful, but she really needs to work on her temper, just like you Sango." Miroku sighed and looked up at the ceiling. "OW!"

Sango had punched him on the head and now held a fist in front of his face.

"Calm down, Sango!" Kagome ushered her. Sango glared threateningly at Miroku before taking a seat. Kagome shook her head. This was going to be a long day.
