We All Watch the Same Sunsets

Kagome plopped down on her bed and closed her weary eyes as soon as se entered her room. The teachers were loading her down with homework, the play rehearsals were becoming more and longer, and keeping a secret relationship was harder then she ever thought. This was a lot harder then the glamorous life of a model. But she was going to survive and win the bet. She had to. There was no way she was going to kiss flea-man in public.

Kagome sighed and rolled over to her stomach where she was able to do her homework easier. One hand reached down below the bed and struggled to bring her five-ton backpack up. She searched around her backpack until she found her planner to see how much homework she had to finish. She groaned when she saw that there was something to do in every subject.

"Life is a bitch," Kagome muttered before diving into the books hearing the chatter of an ecstatic Rin chatting to their Mother about her first day of school.

By the next day of school, Kagome could hardly keep her five-pound eyelids open. Even with the four cups of coffee she drank, she still felt the sleepiness of staying up most of the night working on homework.

"Kagome!!!" an energetic voice called and Kagome turned her head around the neck to see a hyper (not sleepy) Shippo running towards her. Somehow, she managed a small smile.

"Hey Shippo," she greeting pushing a sound of life into her voice.

""Hideeho, Kagome! I'm so excited! I just Ms. Marnel was going to give us a project on Egyptian history!" Shippo told her jumping up and down with enthusiasm. But instead of running around telling everyone the 'good' news like Shippo expected, Kagome stood there and moaned.

"Shippo what is your secret to being so alive at 8:15 in the morning and being extremely happy about more homework?" Kagome inquired yawning a bit..

"Well, I have sugar in the morning,, Mommy doesn't know about that, and I drink a bit of Mommy's strong coffee in the morning, she also doesn't know about that. And I like homework. It gives me something to do when I'm alone," Shippo replied. Kagome suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her heart. Even though he had the group no one ever went to visit him and that was probably hard for a young genius like him.

Impulsively, Kagome gave him a hug and said, "I got to go now, Shippo but I'll see you around."

Shippo blinked a bit wondering why Kagome did that and said, "Um... Okay. Bye."

"Bye!" Kagome smiled at him and began trudging along trying to find Inuyasha as fast as she could with a backpack that weighed as heavy as an elephant on her poor, aching back. She smiled a bit when she saw the gleam of Inuyasha's silver hair and began walking to where he was. But she stopped dead in her tacks. He was talking and laughing with some mean looking guys. Kagome crept a bit closer and hid behind a nearby pillar listening into the conversation.

".and she really thinks I like her! I can't believe that bitch!" Kagome heard Inuyasha jest.

"What a clueless little whore!" a gruff voice said.

"And she actually believes your excuse about why you don't want anybody knowing about this?" another voice which sent chills down her spine asked incredulously.

"Ya, she's so stup.. Ah!" Inuyasha was cut off by a pencil making impact with his head. "What little bastard did... Ka, Kagome!"

"You pig-faced jerk!" she screamed letting tears drop down her face.

"Wait! Let me explain!" Inuyasha didn't like when girls cried. It was his weakness and he do anything to stop a girl from crying even if a couple of the roughest boys, who were sure to let rumors spread around you, were snickering behind your back.

Kagome stomped off as Inuyasha frantically began talking to her trying to make her to listen. He even grabbed her hand at one point, which she snatched away.

"I was trying to make them think I was cool. But I didn't mean anything I said!" Inuyasha told her looking at her with big, round eyes. He didn't expect what came next.

SLAP!

"The eyes aren't going to work. You bastard, if you want to be cool, I guess you don't need me. I don't want to be stuck in the middle of your games," she sneered before running off. This time Inuyasha didn't try to follow her. He was in such a state of shock; he just stood there listening to the rumors that were already beginning to form.

By the time Kagome reached her first class, everybody knew about the confrontation in the hall with Inuyasha. She could feel stares burn into her back as she walked towards her seat. Sango was already sitting by the seat by it waiting for some answers and Kagome knew she was going to be let off the hook until she told Sango everything.

"What happened?" were the first words that came out of Sango's mouth as soon as Kagome sat down.

"No goof morning, Kagome?" Kagome said sarcastically.

Sango replied dryly, "Ha-ha. Now tell why you spazzed out on Inuyasha?"

"You're probably going to freak on me when I tell you this but for a couple weeks, me and Inuyasha have been going out. (Sango began to start to say something but Kagome motioned for her to stay quiet) This morning, I overheard Inuyasha making fun of me and our relationship and this time he wasn't joking. So I yelled at him and basically broke up our relationship." Kagome looked down at the ground, which suddenly seemed extremely interesting, ashamed.

"Even though I'm a bit irritated that you kept a secret from me, I give you my sympathies. And I know the best thing to cheer you up!" Kagome looked up at Sango wondering what her somewhat maniac friend was thinking of doing.

"What?"

"Revenge of course! Revenge on the dirty dog!"

Buggy Babble: That is the end for now. I hope you enjoyed. Just to let people know, Inuyasha is sort of like Bart from the Simpsons in school. He is sort of popular and cool but he still isn't at the top of the top of the social pyramid.
