10 Or More Ways To Lose A Hojou

Author's Note: wow. that was a long break… sorry to say I got Writer's block. I still do… I have no clue what to do from here on in… so I'm just winging it.

==========================================

Kagome shook her head, not knowing what to do. Everyone in school had avoided her, the rumor of being InuYasha's girlfriend making itself known. Hojou had stopped pining for her, that was great, but he began to tell every guy and girl in the school.

To get the proper respect you deserve

Kagome sighed and opened her locker, only for it to close harshly. She turned to the boy who leaned on her locker and her eyes widened. Right there, beside her locker, glaring at her was InuYasha himself. His silver hair cascaded down his back and his golden eyes were clear with anger.

There were three guys and a girl who resembled her standing right behind him. One of the youkais looked like him, Kagome assumed it was SesshouMaru, his brother.

" What's this going on about you and me?" he barked.

Thank Kami Hojou wasn't around to hear that.

Kagome sighed as she looked around.

"Look, I'm sorry if this rumor caused you any problems okay? I wanted Hojou to get off my back and my brother just decided to help me by saying you were my boyfriend, okay?" Kagome explained quickly. " He didn't know Hojou was in your gang…"

InuYasha frowned and the youkai onna grinned widely. " Actually, you did us all a favor!"

Kagome looked at the girl strangely and blinked. " um… Come again?"

Another youkai, with brown hair and blue eyes smirked. " That's true, we've been looking for someone to get Kikyou off InuYasha's bag for a long time!"

Kagome tilted her head. Kikyou was one of the cheerleaders that worshipped the ground InuYasha walked on. Why in the world would they want her off his back?

" Besides, Kagura here likes Hojou," Miroku said pointing to the blushing youkai.

Kagome nodded, acting as if she knew what they were talking about. " Okay, sure, anyway… I have to get to class… so…"

SesshouMaru cleared his throat. " We have yet to discuss how you will continue this charade with my half-brother."

Kagome froze in place and turned around. Kagura smiled warmly and tugged at her arm.

"It's not that bad, Kagome. Besides. This gets my Hojou-kun off your back, gets Kikyou off InuYasha's back, your best friend can hook up with Miroku here and Kikyou's all for Naraku."

"Naraku?"

Kagura nodded grimly. " My brother. He has this God-awful crush on Kikyou… says she resembles someone he once knew."

Kagome paled. " Your last name isn't Onigumo… is it?"

Kagura looked at her strangely and nodded. "… Oh Kami… you're the Kagome Higurashi!"

The rest of the gang were clueless and a small fox came out of InuYasha's robe. " You mean, Naraku's old crush from his last school?!"

Kagura smiled. " Wow, Onii-san has a good taste in girls… isn't that right, Shippou?"

Kagome smiled uncertain whether to run from them or to stay still and let them forget her. Either way… she knew it was going to end badly.

" Wow, that complicates things," Miroku said. " I mean, what if Naraku fights InuYasha… that would be bad…"

InuYasha scoffed and crossed his arms in front of his chest, nearly squishing Shippou; who scuttled into Kagome's arms.

" Look, if Kikyou gets off my back because of her, I'd fight Naraku any day. I'd rather die like a warrior than die hiding in my room," he said gruffly.

Suddenly, Sango burst out of the room and bumped into Kagome.

" There you are! Come on, you're going to get detention if you don't get a slip saying you were at the nurse's office!"

"What? Why?" Kagome asked, ignoring the strange looks she was getting from the youkais and the hearts in Miroku's eyes.

" I told Sanzhenin-sensei that you slipped when you came and you were getting ice from the office!" Sango said.

Kagome shook her head and sighed. " There's only 45 minutes left of school… I'd rather go home, if you don't mind."

InuYasha raised his eyebrow at her, causing her slight discomfort.

" What?" she asked, irritated by his gaze. " I don't like math!"

InuYasha shrugged. " I just never thought you were the skipping type." He said. " You look more like the girl who kisses ass."

" You say that again and I'll make sure you're kissing linoleum!"

InuYasha laughed, amused at her audacity. Before he knew what hit him, Kagome dropped her books, dropped down on the ground and swiftly swept his feel right below him, causing him to-literally- kiss linoleum.

Sango gaped at her best friend, who was no whistling as she carried her bag and walked proudly towards the gates.

Kagura laughed and Kouga stared before her. " Wow, that's the kind of girl I like!"
