Hi! So, um, in response to the previous review, I'm going to hold a poll. Do you think I offended Gothics, yes or no? Just give me your answer in your review. Thanks!

Kagome sighed and glanced over at Kikyo, who was glaring at her, yet again. "I'm not even sure what I did!" Kagome whispered to Sango. Sango smiled.

"Just ignore Kikyo. It's not you. She's against every one who gets close to Inu-Yasha. She'll move on eventually," she leaned in closer and lowered her voice even more, "Just between you and me, Inu-Yasha broke up with Kikyo because she was cheating on him with Hojo. She's just pissed because, according to her, she dumps the guy, not vice versa."

Kagome nodded as Sango returned to her work. So Kikyo's not used to not getting her way. Typical.  She turned back to her paper and finished answering the question. Finished, Kagome leaned back in her chair and tapped her pencil on her head. After a few minutes, Kagome put her chair on all fours again and began absent mindedly doodling on her paper. Before she knew what was happening, she heard Sango giggling. "Hm?" Kagome turned to look at the girl.

Sango continued to try and stifle her laughter, but she was failing miserably. "What?!" Kagome hissed in annoyance. Sango merely pointed to Kagome's paper and continued to laugh. Kagome's eyes reluctantly followed Sango's finger to the paper on her desk, only to find Inu-Yasha's name written all over it, some with little hearts surrounding it. "Eep!" Kagome shrieked and began blushing. She quickly stood up, her chair falling to the floor. "Mrs. Shimomori! I have to go!" Kagome grabbed her bag and ran out of the classroom, a deep blush on her cheeks.

"Kagome!" Sango called and, grabbing her bag, hurried after Kagome.

Mrs. Shimori stared in wonder at the door, before saying, "Someone please go see what's wrong." Miroku and Inu-Yasha immediately stood up. Kikyo, seeing this, also stood.  "Okay, you three go get Sango and Kagome." The three teenagers walked out. As soon as they were out of earshot, Inu-Yasha and Miroku stopped. "What'd you want, Kikyo?" Miroku asked accusingly.

"Nothing!" Kikyo cried, "I just wanted to see what was wrong. In case we needed to have any 'girl-to-girl' conversations." She smiled innocently and turned around, walking in the direction Kagome had run off in.

Miroku shook his head. "I don't trust her. She's up to something." Inu-Yasha nodded in agreement.

"Kagome?" Sango called out gently. She entered the girls' bathroom and looked around, hoping to find Kagome.

"Go away! I just want to be alone right now." The sound of the bathroom stall locking could be heard.

"Kagome, come on. You were probably just bored and started doodling. I once wrote Yura's name all over my notebook during science, and I didn't remember doing it! Inu-Yasha probably just came to mind because you just met him. It happens."
Kagome poked her head over the wall. "You think so?"

"Of course. It's nothing unusual. Now come out. I saw Miroku and Inu-Yasha talking to Kikyo down the hall and I'd like to avoid a confrontation."

Kagome nodded and disappeared. A few seconds later the door opened and Kagome came out. "You okay?" Sango asked. Kagome nodded and smiled. "Good. Now let's go before we run into-"

"Hello!" The two girls spun around to see who else but Kikyo.

"What?" Sango snapped.

"Nothing!" Kikyo said, "I just came to see if you were alright." She smiled at Kagome. "And to give you this." Kikyo handed Kagome a piece of paper before turning on her heel. "Bye!"

"Well, at least she's gone," Sango said as she watched Kikyo disappear through the door. "What's the note say?"

Kagome unfolded the paper and read it aloud, "'Kagome, stay away from Inu-Yasha...or else. Signed, KU'."

Sango glared at the place where Kikyo had been. "That little witch! How dare she threaten you! And what's she mean by 'or else'? What's she gonna do? Smack you?"

Kagome shook her head. "I don't know, but can we get out of here? The bell's gonna ring any-"  She was interrupted by the shrill sound of the class bell.

"Oh! We're gonna be late!" Sango grabbed Kagome's hand and they hurried out.

Neither saw the form lurking in the shadows, a smile on his lips.
