Chapter Five

It was time for gym again and the coach was pestering Inuyasha and Kagome to run faster. "Ok you two, here's the practice schedule for track, be there or you're off the team."

"Ooo, getting kicked off the team, I'm just going to die!" Inuyasha said to Miroku behind the coach's back.

"You know your dad's a sport freak, he'll kill you if you quit or get kicked off any team, even if it's the chess team." Miroku said.

Sango whispered to Kagome, "I'm sorry for blabbing, it just kinda slipped out."

"It's ok, by the end of this year, people would of found out, I just didn't think it would happen the first day it happened!" Kagome lowered her tone when she said the last part.

"I said I was sorry!" Sango protested.

"Yeah, sure. Remember, the ensemble is on Friday, so 2 more days of practice, when do you have track?"

"Tomorrow, at least that's al for this week." Kagome scanned over the schedule.

"Great, ok, so we'll come over today and Thursday. The opening concert is Friday night, we can practice the songs we have to play for the concert, and the separate ensemble after they all concert."

"Why do we have this concert so early for anyway?"

"Well, we and the beginners play. The beginners play first and then we play, Mr. Otashimi tells the parents that their little musicians will become like us, then the concert's over and we have to go to the library and play there for open house."

"Oh joy."

"You know what? You and Inuyasha actually got along with each other before you found out who each other were. Remember yesterday in art?"

"Yesterday seems life centuries ago! A day ago, I wasn't arranged to be married!" Kagome screamed that made everyone look at her and Sango with shocked faces.

"Just practicing for the school play people, it's a new version of Romeo and Juliet." Sango pulled over a cover Sango and Kagome sighed when everyone retuned to their own businesses.

Miroku and Inuyasha walked over, "What are you trying to tell the whole school!?" Inuyasha screamed just loud enough so that only they could hear.

"Well, sorry! It's not like I WANT the whole school to know!" Kagome argued in the same tine as Inuyasha's. The bell rang and as they went to their next class, People were pairing up and whispering at the group walking together.

"I think that that girl you talked to spread the whole rumor to the entire school." Kagome whispered to Sango and looked up to find that it was Inuyasha. "AHH! What's Sango?!" Inuyasha pointed up to Sango ahead of them walking beside Miroku. "Well, you don't have to sneak up on some one like that!"

"Like I did this morning?" Inuyasha smirked.

"Ahh! You sick pervert!" Kagome screamed and hit him on the head with her binder.

"Ow! It was just a joke! Women are so violent!"

"Don't you know it?" Miroku said and turned his head around.

They got to English and they were all still whispering and giving Kagome and Inuyasha looks. They actually did something in English. They had warm ups and were assigned a novel which was to be read by the end of the week and a report on Monday. The book was Romeo and Juliet…how ironic.

They went to lunch, "Stop getting ahead of me you bitch!" Inuyasha said to Kagome.

"I'm not you bastard!" Kagome said, they were now starting to point fingers.

Sango whispered to Kagome, "You know, this just makes your situation worse, people are looking and starting to talk more."

"Fine, be that way!" Kagome went to another line, got her lunch and went outside to the pavilion and sat down. Sango went after her.

"Kagome, you shouldn't get so tense after your second day of school." Sango said.

"Yeah, but he is, he is, SUCH A JERK!" Inuyasha and Miroku came out and sat down across from Sango and Kagome. "Haven't you tortured me enough?" Kagome said.

"Come on, let's take a walk." Inuyasha stood up.

Kagome was confused, as was Sango,"Whoa-what?"

"Just come on, we need to talk about some things."

They got up and walked through the school park, "Do you know what's going on?" Sango asked Miroku.

"I think so, but I'm not sure, I'm surprised as you are. He's never seem that serious before, but it could just be an act." Miroku shrugged.

"Oh, how positive."

"What do you want to talk about?" Kagome sat down on a nearby bench.

"What you want to talk about, this whole situation. School and our parents are gaining up on us. We hate each other, our parents love each other, and we're the gossip of the century."

"Yeah, I'm aware of that, so what should we do?"

"I don't know. But during gym some guy told me something that a girl would say." Inuyasha started to smack on his gum.

"What?"

Earlier

"Dude, did you know since that rumor that you've been voted as the hottest guy in school?" said this guy named Umri

"Er… are you gay?" Inuyasha stepped back.

"No, this girl told me to tell you."

"Oh, uhh, ok. So what? People go in booths and vote?"

"No, it's just an unwritten rule that on the first day people look around and tell other people who's the best looking person in the school. Who ever said a name the most is some what declared. And that rumor this morning happened because Kagome got declared as the hottest girl in school. The unwritten rule says you have to date her or you'll be shunned from the whole school."

Inuyasha cocked up an eyebrow, "This is stupid, there's no way this is true and defiantly no way that Kagome is the hottest girl in school, there are plenty of girls here!"

"Well, it's true, so I think you should be the one to tell her. If the rumor's true then it's perfect…we haven't had a happy couple in years here." Umri said and left.

now

Kagome bolted up, "WHAT?! That's crazy!"

"Yeah, I know! If we tell our parents this, they'll be thrilled, if we tell Sango and Miroku, they'll support us whatever we do, and if we decide this for ourselves, we'll end up killing each other!"

"Well, should we tell them?"

"They're gonna find out anyway, might as well tell them." Inuyasha sighed, "Things couldn't possibly get worse than it is now. I have to date a bitch like you and end up marrying you."

"Such foul language for such a pretty face." Kagome said pinching his cheeks.

"At least I a have pretty face!" Inuyasha ran away after saying that. Then stopped and turned around, "Hey, let's make a truce that'll last for at least this week and not torture each other." Inuyasha held out his hand.

"Fine." Kagome shook his hand and then Inuyasha started to run again. "Hey, he gave me something" Kagome looks in her hand and it was Inuyasha's gum, "EWW YOU SICKO! GET BACK HER SO I CAN KILL YOU!"

"Hey, we just heard about a …situation…" Miroku said when they were walking home

"It took all day to finally find out?" Inuyasha said.

"You mean you know?" Sango asked.

"You looked shocked. It was bound to happen to us with all our rotten luck." Kagome said while opening the door. "Well, we have to get practicing."

"You seem to calm about this, Inuyasha." Miroku pointed out.

"Well, I can be a little happy about being the hottest guy in school." Inuyasha said in a cocky way.

"Don't flatter yourself." Kagome sighed.

"You should be happy too."

"For what?!"

"Dating me and being the hottest girl in school."

"Ahh! Oh my gosh are you kidding us?!" Kagome's mom jumped out with all the other psycho couples.

"You were eavesdropping?!" Kagome screamed.

"No… we over heard in the kitchen…" Inuyasha's mom said.

"All the rooms in this fucking house are sound proof, Mother! And if you MUST know, it's true, but we ain't happy about it, We have to because if we don't then, we'll be shunned from people that actually care about this crap! And they are the superiors of the school, or at least in the student population!" Inuyasha shouted.

"Well, it was gonna happen anyway, we were about to make you guys date." Inuyasha's dad said.

"WHAT?! YOU WERE GOING TO MAKE US DATE?!" They both shrieked.

Sango and Miroku laughed and were silenced to giggles when Inuyasha and Kagome shot killing glares at them.
