After school, Miroku and Kagome and the rest of the 2nd period drama class
met up in the drama room. Inuyasha and Sano were left walking home with
each other.
Inuyasha was focusing on kicking a rock. "You know Sango, Miroku and Kagome have been acting really strange these past few days don't you think?" He asked her.
Sango not even lifting her head from the book she was reading answered," Yeah, sure. Whatever." She said as she was scanning a woodshop book her teacher and given her. She was browsing the pictures, she continued to flip the pages.
"I mean seriously, it looks and seems like they've been secretly hooking up." Inuyasha said as the rock he kicked was kicked on the road. He found a new one and began kicking that.
"Well, think about it Inuyasha. I mean they do both have the same electives and Reading Class together. Why would it be weird if they were spending a little more time with each other? And if they were a couple they do make a pretty decent one..."Sango said flipping another page.
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?" Inuyasha said throwing his hands up in the air. "Miroku and Kagome! A couple! That's insane. No one knows better that I lik- "He cut himself off as Sango's gaze went to him.
"You're jealous aren't you? That maybe, somehow Kagome probably likes Miroku better than you, Inuyasha. Just admit it for once, you really like Kagome. More than a friend, A LOT more than a friend I can tell you that. "Sango said closing her book. Inuyasha stopped. He looked at Sango, struggling to find the words to make a comeback he looked behind him and saw that they were in front of his house. He gave her a dirty/playful look and headed inside. Sango rolled her eyes and made her way home safety. (She wasn't reading her book. That'll be crazy walking by yourself and reading a book)
Meanwhile, at Willfield high school, the rehearsals were just beginning. They did five scenes a day and after every rehearsal, they'd have a group meeting. To discuss about how much better than could have worked. The scenes they did today were the balcony scene, the beginning intro, Juliet's cousin's death scene, along with Romeo's cousin's death scene and the ending. After the discussion everyone headed home. Kagome was encountered by Miroku in the front of the school.
"Hey Miroku, you want a lift? Its way too dark to walk. "Kagome said taking out her cell phone. Miroku shrugged and mumbled quietly, "I rather be alone walking with you..." He said under his breathe.
Kagome looked to him, "What was that?" She asked being clueless. Miroku shook his head and said 'Nothing'. Fifteen minutes later the same green caravan that had dropped the Kagome and her friend's off this morning was the same that came right now.
It was her mother, she rolled down the window. "Hey honey. Whose your friend?" Her mother asked as Kagome opened the passenger's door and Miroku entered the sliding door.
"Oh, that's Miroku." Kagome said as she buckled up her seat belt and placed her bag in front of her. Miroku held out his hand to shake Kagome's mother. The mother shook his hand and said, 'Charmed'
Miroku told the Kagome's mother where he lived and soon she dropped him off. Kagome looked over at her mom. "Mom, give me a second okay?" The mother nodded at Kagome's request. Kagome unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car. Miroku was already outside waiting.
Kagome stood in front of Miroku. She handed him the coat. "Thanks for letting me borrow this the other night..."Kagome said looking up in Miroku's eyes.
Miroku nodded. "No problem, well I better get inside. Still got homework to do. "He said and he leaned in and caressed Kagome. It was only a short kiss and he smiled and entered the house. Kagome stood looking at him. 'What a hunk!' She thought to herself and looked back to re-enter the car.
"He seems nice," Kagome's mother said while driving. "Mom, he's just a friend okay..."Kagome said trying to deny what her mother was thinking.
"Oh, I didn't know friends kiss their friends like that." Her mother said laughing a bit. Kagome touched her lips and smiled.
"I guess not. But I don't know if he's into me mom. He sends out weird vibes." Kagome replied as her mother made a turn into their driveway.
"Give him time. He needs to clear out his thoughts and feelings. So tell me, how many times have you guys really kissed?" Her mother said looking at Kagome.
"THREE!" Kagome said with excitement. Kagome's mother squealed too. Finally, Kagome had one of her 'mother-daughter' moments.
Kagome entered the house followed by her mother. Kagome made sure the door was locked after her mother entered and hurried on upstairs. Her mother was downstairs cooking supper.
Kagome laid her bag down on the bed and went into the bathroom to change clothes. She came out wearing a pair of shorts and a happy bunny shirt that said 'you stink' written across it. Kagome laid on her bed, belly down and opened up her bag. The phone rang and Kagome yelled 'I got it mom!' and answered it. It was Sango.
"Hey girly, what's up? Just got home?" Sango asked her. Her voice sounding sort of tired yet excited or happy.
"Pretty much. Rehearsing is so painful and hard working. Just getting started on my homework. What have you been up to?" Kagome said as she took out her Math, Reading, World History worksheets.
"Um...catching up on Reading. My parents told me if I have good grades by the end of this year I'll be able to go back to Japanese school and stuff. So its all cool." Sango said. Kagome could hear Sango flipping pages. "By the way, can I ask you something?"
"Um...yeah. Sure." Kagome said sounding unsure. She took out her pencil and began to write on the worksheets.
"Are you and Miroku an item? You guys seem to be spending a lot of time together... Sango said as she froze waiting for a reply. A muffle came over the line.
"...Um...I...don't know." Kagome said while hesitating. "KAGOME!" Sango yelled over the line. She knew that whenever Kagome said 'Um, I, don't and know' while hesitating it was her own way of saying yes but she didn't want everyone to know.
"Kagome, you and Miroku. Together?!" Sango said as she put down her book. Sat straight up and was more focused on the conversation then the woodshop book.
"I think so. But you CAN'T tell anyone! I don't want anyone to know, especially...Inuyasha." Kagome said sighing as she thought about Inuyasha and Miroku fighting.
"Okay, ha, I knew something was going on behind all that rehearsals and stuff..." Sango said proud of her conclusion.
"Yeah...whatever." Kagome said as she sighed and laid down. Her head on her pillow and looked up at the ceiling.
Later that night, Kagome hung up on Sango and headed downstairs to eat dinner. They had all sorts of stuff to eat. But since today was Wednesday, it was sushi night. Kagome took a seat in the dining room. They hardly use this place to eat, but tonight was special. Kagome took a seat in the middle. Their table had six chairs. One chair would be on either end of the table. (Vertically.) And two chairs would be across each other horizontally. Kagome's mother and father sat on the vertically lined chairs and Kagome took a seat on the left horizontal chairs. They said their prayers and began to eat.
"So Kagome, how was rehearsals today?" Her father said as he asked her to pass the pitcher of water. Kagome handed it to him and replied," It was fine. Nothing usual." Kagome said as she took a bite out of her first sushi.
"Who are you in the play?" Her mother said as she got up and went to get napkins for all three of them. She quickly took her seat again and waited for Kagome to answer.
Kagome felt a knot in her stomach and answered quietly. 'Juliet..' and she stuffed her mouth with sushi so she would have time to untie that knot.
"Oh really?" Her father said interested. "And who is this...Romeo?" Her father said acting a bit tight around the fact that she was Juliet.
Kagome took a second to pause as she had to digest her food and she swallowed and took a sip of water. "Um...Miroku." She said and paused. Waiting to him anger from her father.
"Miroku...ah. Nice choice for a Romeo." Father said smiling, he knew he surprised Kagome. He seemed to be taking it easy.
"You mean you're not mad?" Kagome said looking at him and her mother. Stunned with belief.
"Why would we be? Miroku is a nice gentlemen. Quite handsome" Her mother said giggling a bit. Kagome smiled and continued to eat dinner. Later after that night, after all the dishes had been washed. After all the mess that had been clean, after all the work had been done. Kagome had another phone call, she hurried to the nearest phone which one in the upper lobby in the house.
"Hello?" She said as she was wiping the table that the phone was sitting on. She had to lean the phone in on her shoulder as she wiped it.
"Kagome?" the voice sounded familiar but she wasn't paying attention of it as she was more focused on her late chores.
"Yes, may I know whose calling?" She said politely as she quickly said. "Could you hold on for a second?" She gently put down the phone and washed the cloth in the bathroom.
"Okay, I'm back. So who is this?" She asked as she put down the phone quickly. Ran into her room to grab the cordless and hung up the corded phone in the hallway. She entered her room, locked her door and sat on her bed.
"Its...Miroku." The other end of the line answered. Kagome froze, she seemed to have lost her voice and unable to speak.
"I know, you're probably wondering where I got your number but that's not what I wanted to tell you. What I wanted to tell you is to meet me in front of the school at six thirty sharp, okay? I got to go. I'm not suppose to be using the phone this late." Miroku said, the other end of the line hung up and Kagome also hung up the phone. As she laid back against her headboard. She sighed, looking over at her clock she set up her alarm to be extra early. Then she got under the covers and turned off her lamp that was right next to her bed.
"Sweet dreams Kagome." Kagome said to herself and she soon fell fast asleep.
Inuyasha was focusing on kicking a rock. "You know Sango, Miroku and Kagome have been acting really strange these past few days don't you think?" He asked her.
Sango not even lifting her head from the book she was reading answered," Yeah, sure. Whatever." She said as she was scanning a woodshop book her teacher and given her. She was browsing the pictures, she continued to flip the pages.
