Teenage Affections

Author's Note: This is my first A/U fic and third Inuyasha fic. Basically, they're all fifteen and in high school and Kagome is a new girl in the school. Due to the fact I DON'T like Kikyo, may not be in this fic! Sorry! Please read and review... and please don't give me any bad reviews.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the characters. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Chapter 12

Kohaku and Shippo came running with Souta, dragging one large sled with them as they went heading towards the large hill where a lot of other students and kids were sledding. There were a few people seen building snowmen and taking pictures with them before someone came sledding through the creation, and thats what the three young friends had in mind. The all piled on the sled, Shippo in front because he was the smallest. "Which one are we heading to first?" he asked. Souta pointed straight ahead.

"Right where my sister is." he answered. Kohaku looked and grinned, spotting his sister, who was beating on Miroku, who must have gone back to his perverted ways.

"Right. Directly through their snowman, right boys?" he asked. The three boys grinned and agreed, pushing themselves off and speeding down the hill, many people moving out of the way. The four teens that the boys were aiming for had noticed them just in time. Inuyasha quickly grabbed Kagome and jumped out of the way as the boys were speeding right through their snow man. Kagome groaned and thanked Inuyasha as he helped her off the ground. She looked and glared at her brother.

"SOUTA!" she screamed. Inuyasha frowned and turned to say something to Miroku, but both he and Kagome both turned away when they saw Miroku lying on top of Sango.

"Uh... you guys-" Miroku quickly pushed himself off of Sango and she sat up, blushing deeply.

"Ummm... sorry." they said in unison. Kagome glanced at Inuyasha the same time he looked at her and they both went red, looking away from each other.

"So... how about we go find those kids and get some payback." suggested Inuyasha, trying to get rid of the awkward moment.

"Sure." they all quickly agreed.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Bet they're real mad at us." said Kohaku as he pushed himself up off the ground. When they had passed their target, they helpt going until they lost balance and were thrown from the sled. They had also gone too far from where the others were, so they were trying to figure out the fastest way back. Shippo sighed and looked around.

"I think we're lost." he informed. There was snow all over, so everything looked the same. The boys all looked around and let out sighs.

"Well, well, well. What've we got here." They jumped and turned around, a hooded figure looking at them with a smirk. "Three little boys roaming around all alone. Its not too safe you know..."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Kohaku!" called Sango, her hands cupped to the side of her mouth as they group of friends searched for the little boys. They had chose to have a little fun before looking for the boys, expecting them to show up again later, but failing to see them anywhere. Even Shippo's mother was asking if anyone had seen the boys. It was now getting late and Kagome was beginning to panic, as was Sango.

"We should split up. We could probably cover more ground." suggested Miroku. They agreed and Inuyasha left with Kagome.

"Souta, where are you!" called Kagome, tears filling her eyes. She stopped and put her face in her hands. "If this is some kind of joke, I'm going to kill him." she said, though her threat was betrayed by the fact her voice was shaking. Inuyasha looked at her and sighed, pulling her into arms.

"Calm down, we'll find the brats." he promised. Kagome nodded as she buried her face into his chest and cried. Inuyasha patted the top of her head and narrowed his eyes when he heard someone coming towards them. Kagome blinked when he hold on her tightened a little and she glanced over her shoulder.

"Who is that?" she asked.Inuyasha shrugged and stepped in front of her protectively.

"Who's there?" he called.

"Inuyasha!" came a voice and three bodies came jetting over to him. He blinked when he saw it was Souta, Shippo, and Kohaku.

"What the-"

"There's a psyco out there!" announced Souta. Kagome grabbed her younger brother and held onto him tightly, bursting into tears. "Kagome, let go! There's a crazy guy out there."

"What are you talking about? Don't you know we've been looking everywhere for you?" asked Kagome as Inuyasha called Miroku on his cell phone.

"We know you were worried. But we were trying to get home and ended up running from some guy after he tried to take Kohaku." informed Shippo. Kagome looked at Kohaku who seemed pretty shaken up and she pulled him into a hug as well.

"You guys are soaked. We've gotta get you back to the cabins." Sango and Miroku came running over and Sango grabbed Kohaku, pulling him into a hug.

"You're ok!" she said. Miroku stood next to Inuyasha, both of them talking quietly. Kagome turned her attention from them and sighed. She knew how releaved Sango must have been. Her father and brother were all that she had left so when Kohaku was missing, she was really scared. She had began panicking too of course, but she still felt releaved for Sango.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Look at you three. You're soaked to the bone." said Sango as Shippo, Souta, and Kohaku sat wrapped in thick blankets and drinking the hot chocolate Miroku had prepared. Mrs. Kitsune had been told about what had happened and informed of where the boys were and that Inuyasha would drop them off at their cabin, so she was pretty greatful. Sango sat down next to Miroku, watching the three boys. "Maybe now you'll learn to stay out of trouble."

"We were having fun until we ran into the maniac." said Kohaku knowingly. Sango rolled her eyes. She was too tired to argue with him so said nothing. She'd ask him tomorrow. Inuyasha entered the room and dropped on the couch next to Kagome.

"Miroku, your mom wants to talk to you. They've been worrying about us." he said, pointing back to their room. Miroku nodded and got up, kissing Sango quickly on the cheek and going to speak to his mother. Kagome raised an eyebrow at Sango and Inuyasha made a face.

"What was that about?" asked Kagome and Sango blushed.

"What?" she asked. Inuyasha and Kagome exchanged knowing looks, but it was Kohaku who spoke his mind.

"Sango... are you and Houshi dating?" He asked, causing his sister to immediately turn red and glare at him.

"That's none of your business!" she said.

"You might as well say yes. We'll find out either way." said Inuyasha. Sango glared at him and blushed even more.

"We kinda are..." she said and gave Kagome a look that said she would tell her all about it later. "But that gives you no reason to but into our personal lives." She told the boys.

"Please... I have no intentions to." muttered Inuyasha.

"What about you and Kagome?" Kohaku directed at Inuyasha, who looked at the boy, his face slowly reddening.

"What about us? Its none of your business about me and Kagome." Kagome looked at Inuyasha in confusion and so did the others in the room.

"Ah, so you two are an item as well?" came Miroku's voice and Inuyasha looked over at his friend, glaring at the innocent grin that had crossed his friend's face. Kagome looked confused. It was obvious what ever it was Miroku said was true to Inuyasha.

"Why do you know more about our 'relationship' than I do?" asked Kagome, making a face. Inuyasha looked at her.

"What? You don't want to be with me?" he asked, his eyes showing the obvious hurt that he'd probably never express in public. Kagome blushed and looked at him, smiling a little.

"Why... do you want me to be?" she asked. There was a silence. "Cuz if so, I will." she offered. Inuyasha stared at her in shock and smiled a little, trying to act cocky, but failing.

"Good then. Its settled. We're together." he said and put and arm over her shoulder, trying to play it off by acting as if he were stretching and simply lying his arm on the couch. Kagome smiled and moved a little closer to him, ignoring the confused look on Souta's face. It would prove interesting dating Inuyasha. She knew it would have its ups and downs of course.
