Things to Do
Chapter 3 Prepare to Fight: Kikyo's Look-alike
By: Little-Umi-Chan
Kagome took a deep breath in, "Alright will you tell me who this Kikyo girl is already?" She shouted as she stood on the balcony looking down at "Miroku". Miroku picked up a latter that was carefully concealed in the bushes, and climbed up into Sango's balcony where he sat in a chair with his name on it.
"To put it simply," Sango said seating herself in a chair with her name on it, " she's the ruler of the school. She is a very evil ruler at that. Her father is the boss of some big ass company, and she has connections. All the teachers fear her, and only Miroku, Inu-Yasha, and myself stood up against her. Her team is referred to as the 'Demons' so we are the 'Demon Slayers'. We take her down. That is until Kikyo stole Inu-Yasha's heart and asked him to be part of the 'Demons'. He's still trying to decide. If it weren't for the fact that his greatest rival, Naraku, Kikyo's boy friend, and his older brother Sesshoumaru were on the team, he would have joined already! So, we are giving you an invitation to join the 'demon slayers' and take down that evil miko." Sango said proudly holding her arm up in vain to show her muscle.
Kagome stared for a bit and whispered more to herself then anybody else… "Miko?" And then more loudly asked, "who's Inu-Yasha anyway?"
Miroku and Sango both looked at her like she was mental and then cracked up falling to the ground. "No, honestly… who is he?" At which Miroku and Sango sweatdropped and sighed.
"Just a friend," Miroku said.
"Okay… and why do the chairs have your names on them?" she asked staring at a chair marked "Inu-Yasha".
"Well, we had a bit of an incident a while back. What happened was Inu-Yasha sat in Miroku's favorite chair one to many times and Miroku almost killed Inu-Yasha. So, now I have labeled the chairs and if they sit in a chair without their name on it we beat them to a pulp.
The next day at school Kagome walked around a little bit embarrassed because everyone started whispering. "Look at her she looks exactly like Kikyo!" Or, " maybe she is Kikyo?!," And sometimes, " Kikyo would never hang out with Sango visa versa." And then came Kagome's first glance at them! The infamous demons! It was like staring right into her mirror. A girl looking exactly like she walked up to Kagome followed closely by a four other people. A young girl and three older boys followed her like a flies follows honey. The one that caught her attention at first look was the one with long white hair. She seemed to remember him from somewhere but couldn't place it. Then came the man who had a hand wrapped tightly around Kikyo's waist. He had long dark hair and piercing black eyes. Kagome's miko senses went wild with dislike when she saw this man. And the only harmless looking person in the bunch was a boy with brown hair and deep beautiful blue eyes. He had fangs and fur all over his body, so her only guess was that he was a demon.
"Your name?" the girl, Kikyo, asked with a smirk.
"Hi-hi-Higurashi, Kagome," Kagome said a little nervously. The Black haired man and the white haired man were making her extremely uncomfortable. Their stares bore through her like a knife, and she had to turn away.
"Higurashi," cackled Kikyo. "Perfect. You are no doubt a miko like me Higurashi, Kagome?" Kikyo inquired. Kagome was incredibly uncomfortable as she gave her short reply of yes. Kikyo's smile could be seen a mile away, and her pearly whites could defeat all evil. But, the only evil they couldn't defeat was Kikyo herself.
"Higurashi," Kikyo whispered, " your assets may prove to be useful to me. Would you consider joining my gang? The demons do need another member to fill in the spot Yura. She died a terrible death just last month!" Kikyo seemed so sympathetic. NOT!
"The accident really was tragic. The whole piano incident left us devastated. Who knew a piano could just fall out the window of a ten-story apartment. Off the tenth floor that is!" the black haired man said giving an evil mua-ha-ha-ha. Judging by the arm around Kikyo's waist Kagome could only guess that this was Kikyo's evil boyfriend Naraku, on which Sango had noted last night.
"By the way," Kikyo said staring her straight in the eyes. "This is my boyfriend Naraku, and my faithful companions Koga," she said pointing to the brown haired man, "and Sesshoumaru," she said pointing to the white haired man. She seemed to remember that name from somewhere too. "I just thought you might want to know who your teammates might be." Kikyo said turning around and starting to walk off.
Sango suddenly appeared by Kagome's side and grabbed her hand. "So, I see you've met my darling cousin Kagome. Well buh-bye," Sango said dragging Kagome away from them. Kagome gave a huge sigh of relief as the aura of the men faded away slowly. Kikyo turned around and glared at Sango as they turned the corner disappearing from her intense gaze.
Sango showed Kagome to the office to pick up her class schedule and locker number. "Well," Sango said taking a look at Kagome's information. "You have a locker right next to mine, but I'm only in two of your classes. I'm in your art and social studies classes. Miroku is in the same ones, and in your math class. But, you seem to share all of your courses with Inu."
As Sango opened her locker, she saw a picture of Sango and her father when Sango was little. "That's the last picture of us together," Sango said quietly with a tinge of sorrow in her voice. "Dad's always on business trips leaving the family behind. So, I keep this picture near me always to remind me of the high point of my relationship with my father."
"Oh Sango! I haven't seen you in an eternity. I think I died without you near me!" Shouted the voice of Miroku as he appeared behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Sango yelled a warning 'Miroku' and flipped him over her body watching him land on the floor with a thud.
"Jeez Sango, don't go winding him so goddamn early in the morning!" the boy who had walked up with Miroku said. The same guy that intrigued Kagome in Sango's picture the night before.
"I'll do whatever the hell I want to when I want to Inu-Yasha!" Sango yelled throwing what appeared to be her biology book at him. "Oh by the way Kagome this is Inu-Yasha, Inu this is Kagome!" Sango said turning back to her locker to pull out her sketchbook and her math book.
"Yeah whatever she's that Kikyo look-alike everybody's talking about huh?" Inu- Yasha turned around and didn't even wait for the reply as he peeled Miroku off the floor and bonded down the hallway.
That day at lunch, Kagome met Sango at their lockers. Sango removed her lunch money and they walked to the cafeteria to buy their lunch. After waiting ten minutes in line they finally payed and made their way outside to the courtyard. In the courtyard Sango asked Kagome if she could climb a tree, and Kagome told her she could climb faster than a cat. Sango led Kagome over to a tree in which Miroku and Inu-Yasha sat debating who was hotter. Britney Spears ( A/N yuck!) or the Olsen Twins (A/N double yuck!) Britney Spears was winning the debate.
Sango and Kagome quickly climbed the tree, (Kagome having difficulties do to her skirt and her lunch tray) but she eventually made it.
" Are girls all that guys think about?" Kagome questioned Inu-Yasha and Miroku.
"Yeah Bitch, that's about all they think about. I still can't believe that a wench like you is in allllllll my classes." Inu-Yasha stated slurping up some of his ramen.
"You know what… grow up buggy!" kagome shouted without realizing that the word had slipped up again. Why the hell was buggy bugging her so much?
"Hey nobody calls me buggy, I call them buggy. And I haven't called somebody buggy since I had a best friend in Kindergarten named Ka… go…me… Cough" Inu-Yasha said making each syllable of the name a little softer and then he coughed to cover it up. The old looser cough, when would people realize it had gone out of style? "You know I got to use the bathroom!" he exclaimed jumping out of the tree. Was Kagome hallucinating, or did he just say HER name? He couldn't have.
The rest of lunch passed by very quickly and it soon came time to go to her afternoon classes. The classes where she knew she would again encounter Inu-Yasha. She was not looking forward to seeing him after he so bluntly insulted her.
As she was slowly opening her locker dreading the next period, she heard Sango give out a high pitched devastatingly awful scream. She dropped her books and turned quickly to see what her cousin had screamed in such a way about. And there she saw her cousin picking up tiny pieces of paper on which used to be the picture of Sango and her father. Kagome walked over to her cousin and scanned the locker picking up vast amounts of Kikyo's aura. So, Kikyo had done this. Kikyo would pay!
"I see your father has fallen into a bit of trouble. And, now he's in pieces!" Kikyo gave out a high pitched shrill reminding her slightly of her devil Kodachi. "He wasn't very good looking anyway. So, I gave him a bit of my touch." Kikyo then turned around and was proceeding to her next class when Kagome called out her name.
"Kikyo, you may look like me, and act somewhat like me, but you aren't me. And, if you lay so much as a hair on anything belonging to my friends, you'll be sorry. For I'm the miko that will slay you and put you to shame alongside your father!" At that Kagome smirked and turned around walking to her next class.
Kagome wouldn't realize it for a while, but the whole school had silently agreed to her being the leader of the demon slayers now. Nobody had stood up to Kikyo like that before, and they silently prayed that Kagome would bring Kikyo down… For good!
