Chapter Three:

Mischievous Intents

Inuyasha's cheek still stung from the slap he had received the night before. He sat up remembering last night's exploit.

Flashback

"I can't believe she just hit me," Inuyasha stammered.

Miroku walked up and gave him a soft pat on the back. "They do that sometimes. You know, when you piss them off."

He and Kouga shared a laugh but Inuyasha wasn't as amused. He angrily walked to his car and slammed the door shut.

He jammed the keys into the ignition and honked for his friends to hurry up and get in the car. They ran over and slid into the passenger seats before Inuyasha sped out of the parking lot.

"Can you believe that?!" Inuyasha yelled.

Miroku smiled, "Yes, I can believe that. Too many times it has happened to me before. Don't worry the stinging will go away soon."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and returned his attention to the road. But unlike what Miroku had just said, the stinging never stopped.

End Flashback

Once Inuyasha was finished getting ready for the day he went downstairs to grab a bite to eat. He stepped into the sun filled kitchen and gazed around the room for a moment. He looked at the cabinets and walked over to them, opening one and pulling out a box of poptarts.

He pulled out the small packages and returned the box back inside the cabinet. He opened the wrapper and began munching away as he walked into his living room to watch some TV.

"So, you mind telling me what you were so irate about last night?" questioned his older brother, Sesshomaru.

He was reading a newspaper but gave Inuyasha a look out of the corner of his eye.

"And you care because?" Inuyasha said sneering.

"I care because you live in my house and because it's my job to take care of you, so spill it."

"It's nothing," Inuyasha sighed. "I've got to go. Sunday practice."

Sesshomaru put down the newspaper and flicked on the TV. "Fine. You know when to be back. Bye."

With that, Inuyasha grabbed his keys and his gym bag and headed out the door.

Sango met up with Kagome at the archery field. Kagome shot one arrow after the other, each hitting the bull's eye.

"You still worked up about the other night?" Sango asked. When Kagome ignored her and kept firing arrows she continued on.

"You shouldn't worry about him. He's a jerk anyways. Why does it matter what he thinks when you have Hojo?"

Kagome missed the bull's eye. She groaned and looked at Sango, "It's not just him. I don't care what he thinks...do you think I'm boring?"

Sango let out a small laugh, "No."

"I just can't wait to go see Hojo. I miss him," Kagome said.

"I wish I had someone like him," Sango said smiling.

The girls started giggling as they packed up to leave. As they headed to the school's parking lot they spotted Inuyasha getting out of his car.

He saw them as well and scowled at the sight of them. Once he left his car he jogged out to the track to meet up with the rest of his team.

Kagome found her opportunity and stopped. "How much do you like that Inuyasha guy Sango?"

Sango glared in his direction and then an evil smile grew on her face, "None...what are you gonna do?"

Kagome ran to her car, which was parked a few spaces away and came back out with a Swiss Army Knife. "Just in case of emergencies. This counts as an emergency, wouldn't you say so?"

"Indeed," Sango nodded

Kagome took the knife and sliced both of his back tires. The girls quickly took off leaving no evidence behind. In the car they both burst out into a fit of laughter.

"I can't wait to see the look on his face!" Sango laughed.

"Yeah, to bad we can't stay," pouted Kagome.

The girls stopped at the video store and picked up a couple of movies to get them through the rest of their Sunday afternoon.

When they arrived at Kagome's house Mrs. Higurashi offered to pop them some popcorn while they got the movie ready.

Their first movie was Fifty First Dates. Popcorn flied around the room as the girls flew into a fit of laughter throughout most of the movie. Once the movie finished the girls both commented on how the movie was both hilarious and sad.

As Kagome got up and attempted to put in the next movie she heard something hit the side of her house once, twice, three times.

Inuyasha had ran till he could run no more during practice, yet his coach still reprimanded him to do better.

Once practice was finally over Inuyasha gulped water from his water bottle and threw it into his gym bag. He knelt down in an attempt to locate his car keys.

He got up, still searching for the keys, and made his way to his car. He finally retrieved his keys and pulled them out of the bag only to find that his back tires had been sliced.

"Damn," Inuyasha thought as he threw his bag on the ground.

He knelt back down and pulled his cell phone out, opening it and dialing his brother's number, "Hey, yeah. Well...my back tires were sliced. Uh huh. Think you could take some time outta your day and come get me and call a tow truck down here?"

With that he closed his cell phone and leaned against his car, waiting.

It was a few minutes later when Sesshomaru pulled up next to Inuyasha's immobile car. He rolled down his window and took a look at the tires, "So who did it?"

Inuyasha looked up at his brother with contempt in his eyes, "If I'd known that the cops would be here, now wouldn't they?"

Sesshomaru sighed and stepped out of his car. He paced around the car twice, looking to see if the culprits left anything behind. Nothing was to be found.

"Well if there were no witnesses and you didn't see who did it, you're going to have to buy a whole new set of tires," Sesshomaru observed.

Inuyasha's jaw hung open, "What?! Fine!"

The tow truck finally arrived and towed Inuyasha's car away. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha got into the car and drove off.

"Just drop me off at Miroku's," Inuyasha said coldly.

Sesshomaru made a tight right turn with that statement, causing Inuyasha to tightly grasp the handle above the door. The car squealed to a stop in front of Miroku's house, only giving Inuyasha a few minutes to jump out of the car before Sesshomaru sped off. He watched as the car and his brother disappeared around a corner.

Miroku looked out of his window and ran to he door to let his friend in.

"Hey what's up Inu?" He asked.

"Somebody slashed my tires," Inuyasha growled.

"And who do you think it was?"

"It was that stupid wench and her little friend that your after," Inuyasha answered.

"Did you see them?" Miroku asked as he headed to his kitchen.

Inuyasha followed him into the kitchen, "Yeah."

Miroku opened his refrigerator and glanced into it, moving a few items around in the process. Unsatisfied, he closed the door and moved to the pantry where he found a bag of potato chips to his likings. He opened the bag and grabbed a handful, stuffing it into his mouth as he question Inuyasha further.

"So," he said in between chewing, "what are you gonna do about it?"

Inuyasha looked through the refrigerator himself, "I don't know yet." An evil grin grew on his face as he pulled out a carton of eggs. "Ok, now I know."

Miroku threw the bag of chips onto the table, "Ok, let's go then."

He yelled up to his parents that he was borrowing the car and headed out to their car, Inuyasha following carrying the carton of eggs.

"Should we pick up Kouga?" Miroku asked.

"Hell no. He'd probably jump out and ask for her number or something," Inuyasha laughed as he visualized Kouga jumping out of a speeding car.

They drove around aimlessly for a while before Inuyasha piped up, "Um...I don't really know where she lives."

They pulled over to the nearest payphone and looked up her last name. To their avail, there was only one Higurashi residence in the area. It was most likely Kagome's house.

Even if it weren't, Inuyasha would still enjoy egging someone's house.

They neared the Higurashi residence slowly. Inuyasha pulled out a few eggs and hurled them at the house. One hit the window, and two hit the side of the house before they sped away to avoid getting caught. Miroku and Inuyasha had a hearty laugh before they both went home.

Kagome ran out of her house, followed by Sango. They arrived just in time to see a car speed away down the street, out of sight. Kagome's mom popped her head out of the slightly ajar door, "What was that?"

Kagome looked at the side of the house and saw the remains of shattered eggs. The yolks still dripping down.

Kagome rolled her eyes and sighed, "Gee, I wonder who did this," she said gesturing to the side of the house.

Sango walked over to her friend, "Don't worry. You know who did it. We'll get them back."

Mrs. Higurashi stepped out of the house and saw the damage to her house. She went inside and came back out with a couple of washrags and a bucket of soapy water.

"You girls clean this up. Dinner will be ready in just a few minutes." She started back into the house and abruptly stopped and turned, "Sango, you are staying for dinner?"

Sango, who had already begun to clean up, nodded her head, "Yes Mrs. Higurashi."

They finished cleaning the side of the house and the door within a few minutes and headed inside for dinner. Afterwards Kagome left to drop Sango off at her house.

When Kagome got back home she walked up the stairs to her room. She looked around, thinking of what to do.

Finally she decided on writing a letter to Hojo. She sat down at her desk and pulled out paper and pen. Before she began to write she held up his picture and looked at it fondly.

Hojo,

I've missed you very much since that last night we were together. I've read your letter through at least four times and will probably read it more times before I am through. I've been sitting here, looking at your picture, getting more lonesome every minute. I keep thinking of you. I keep wishing that I could be in your arms once again. I've never been so lonesome in my life as I am right now. I feel completely lost without you at times. I never realized I could miss any one person so much. I just hope it won't be too much longer before I am able to be with you again.

Yours forever,

Kagome

She folded up the paper, satisfied with her work, and put it into an envelope. She put a stamp on it and placed it with her schoolbooks. Just one more week left before she would be with him again. One more week with Sango...one more week with the jerk Inuyasha.

Miroku had dropped Inuyasha off at his house just before midnight, his school night curfew. He walked into his house with a proud smile on his face. His brother must have already gone to bed, he thought.

He went to the kitchen to find a small snack. He couldn't find anything to his liking so he headed upstairs to his room. Once he got there he fell back onto his bed. He lay there for a few seconds before getting back up.

He didn't feel tired so he decided to find something to keep him occupied. He searched around his room for something to do but found nothing.

He glanced at his desk and saw a picture of Kikyo. It was a picture that Miroku had given him.

In the picture, She was outside sitting on a ledge in the park, with trees in full bloom as the background. She was wearing a cream kimono with pink flowers adorning it. She also had a small flower tucked behind her ear. She looked amazing in the picture.

But another thing that caught his eye was that Kikyo did look stunningly like that Kagome girl.

He threw the image from his mind, not wanting to spoil the visualization he was having of the beautiful Kikyo.

He sat the picture down and crawled into bed. While lying there, he began to think about the trip he was going to take. He thought about what she was like and if she was like him. He also thought about what he would do to the wench Kagome tomorrow.
