Chapter Eleven: Light

"I guess I like it when we play, (The way you drag me down). I guess I like it when you hate me, (The way you drag me down.) 'Cause I cant face myself in a mirror, (I'm left alone with all my pain.) And I disgrace myself in the mirror (I'm left alone with my shame.)"
Fuck It Seether

"Waaaaaake up." Kagome heard a voice, and ignored it. Rolling over, she muffled a yawn.
"C'mon Kagome!! We gotta go learn!!" Inuyasha poked her several times, making her flinch and wave his hand away absentmindedly. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow and finally pulled all of the covers right off of her. Kagome retracted, finally opening her eyes.
"Damn you." She muttered.
Inuyasha smiled arrogantly. "Time to awake Princess- Get ready."
Kagome had been living with Inuyasha and his older brother Sesshoumaru for about a month now. Sesshoumaru had dragged her back to her home, informed her mother that Kagome would be living with them off of Rin's orders, and told her that he would call the police if she objected.
Kagome's mom had only glared at Kagome and spat 'You Bitch!' before letting Kagome grab some of her things and leave. Needless to say, Kagome really couldn't be much happier. Sango had been very angry with Kagome at first, and for about two weeks she wouldn't even say a word, but then Sango finally just gave in.
Sango still hated Inuyasha, but Kagome had told her how Inuyasha saved her, and her anger evaporated a little. Sango usually came over after school and they would all chill. Kagome had also given up taking drugs. She would still cut, but Inuyasha didn't know about that.
Both of them crammed into the bathroom, and Kagome took her shower well Inuyasha washed his face and spiked his hair. It was just a usual morning for them, and they really didn't even notice or feel uncomfortable when either was naked in front of each other.
Kagome was so thankful that he had taken her in. She would often do little things for the boys' that made life a little more bearable. To pay them back a little she would do the laundry, wash the dishes, dust, and do other mundane chores that made the house look a little cleaner.
She would also cook for them. Damn did they love her cooking.
Inuyasha on the other hand was very happy to have her around. She brought a bit of light into his world with her ever going sarcastic comments and stubborn attitude. They would often stay up really late at night and just talk about the past. Inuyasha told her about how much he loved his mother, and Kagome would tell him her dreams about shaming her Grandfather.
They both had begun to understand one another, and for some reason it came natural to Kagome to talk with Inuyasha and to get to know him.
They both walked out of the house with about 10 minutes to spare.
"Want to grab so coffee at Java the Hut?" Inuyasha asked her on their way down the street. The weather was musty as always, with the humid smell of rain that Kagome loved. The waves on the beach had to be 4 feet up with pipe showing up on the North Shore.
"Sure. I haven't had a Café Mocha with lemon juice and pineapple in about a week." Kagome replied. They grabbed their coffee, talked with Java himself (the dude who owns the coffee shop. I borrowed his character from a book called Gingerbread), and went off to school.
Just another average morning.

As they walked into the school yard they saw Sango talking with Henya and Miroku. Sango was still barely showing signs of being pregnant, and she had told Kagome that they would still fuck once in a while. But not as much as they used to.
"How did that Miroku guy take it?" Inuyasha asked in a bit of a hushed voice.
"Take what? Sango being preggy?"
"Mmm. They look like there completely oblivious." Inuyasha told her, pointing to where Miroku was squeezing her butt like it was no big deal.
"He told her that whole 'I can buy a house, we can get married and raise they baby together' jig. Sango believed him, and I think she is genuinely happy. She told me that she even thinks she loves him." Kagome told him sighing.
"You know he will run, right?"
Kagome stared at them for a little while and watched how Sango's face lit up at one of Miroku's dumb jokes. Henya was even smiling a little. She saw Miroku put his hand on Sango's belly, and saw them both beam at one another. She felt her heart wrench a little as she looked back at Inuyasha.
"I know."
::---::
Inuyasha leaned back into the tree slightly.
Kagome and himself were sitting out in the school yard, eating there lunch like any other day, just trying to ignore Miroku and Sango rather loud and exaggerated make-out session. They were talking about some homework thing they had to do when a bunch of Kagome's friends walked up. Sango stopped frenching her boyfriend and looked up.
"What do you want?" Sango asked, her voice suspicious.
"Nothing that concerns you." Kagura said rather snidely. Kagura was the school's bitch. Even Henya refused to sell to her because it was a waste of weed. She wouldn't use it, she would just pretend to like she was all cool. Kagura turned to Kagome.
"Hey Higurashi. We are all skipping out to get stoned after lunch. You wanna come?"
Kagome narrowed her eyes. She could tell the girls were up to something. They were looking at one another nervously, trying to be discrete about it. Kagura seemed overly confident too.
"No." Kagome said in her bitter cold tone. "I don't smoke weed with posers."
Kagura glared, her red eyes blazing. (She had those fake contacts that make yours eyes all creepy.) "You bitch!"
Inuyasha was now on his feet and up in her face. He seemed pissed. Kagome noticed how defensive he had gotten of her lately. Just a week ago he had beat the shit out of a bunch of guys for trying to make her make-out with them. They were expelled well Inuyasha was given a detention that he didn't even serve.
"Listen, Kagura. Kagome's not a fucking idiot like you puffs. She knows you guys probably plan to do something to her. Plus, even if you tried, remember poor little Naraku and his goonies from last week?"
Kagura's face paled visibly. Kagome heard her little sister, Kanna, say; "Didn't they get expelled? I heard they are still in the hospital..."
"Shut up Kanna!" Kagura snarled, "Higurashi! You're the fucking poser. After that party you lost your balls and now you and your whore Sango are not the princess's of the school. You're the fucking nerds!"
Inuyasha punched Kagura in the face, making her fall back onto the ground with a large thud. Kagome then walked up, kicked her very hard, and spit on her face.
"Listen Kagura-deary..." Kagome started, "You mess with me, and you mess with Inuyasha. You mess with Sango, you mess with Miroku, messing with Miroku messes with every boy of the fucking football team, and not to mention all the preps and or posers that worship them. Do you really want to tip the scale, knocking all those pieces down causing a chain reaction throughout this entire school?"
Kagura looked completely baffled. "Huh?!"
Kagome then smirked, turning around. "That's what I though."
They all walked back into the school, not even turning around. Once there forms were back into the school, Kanna smiled a little at Kagura who was still lying on the ground.
"She got you there, didn't she 'puff.'"
All the girls laughed except Kagura.
