Chapter Six

"What? It's funny. We can't help if we laugh if something's funny!." Miroku continued to laugh the next day.

"Yes you can, Sango can't though. She laughs at everything. Every year, she has this one word or phrase that makes her laugh really hard. Like last year, she laughed at 'purple pudding'." Kagome looked at the blushing Sango.

"How'd you think of that in the first place?" Miroku asked.

"Well, we were eating lunch when she told us she can laugh at anything. We pointed to a couple of things and combined 'purple pudding' and so, she's always laughed at that word and everything else, but that word most of all. I haven't figured out that this year's word is yet, but I'm gonna find out." Kagome said as they walked to 4th period, Science.

"Hey, where's Inuyasha?" Miroku looked around the science lab.

"How should I know? I'm not his mother. " Kagome sat down at an empty table. The tables were two to a table and Sango and Miroku sat in one beside her.

"Hello, I'm a new student, is this seat taken?" The new student said. Kagome just stared at him. "Oh, I'm sorry, my name is Hojo. May I sit her?"

"No, it's nice that you're new and all, but you have to know, she's my woman. Got that? So back off!" Inuyasha sat down next to Kagome and she just cocked an eyebrow at him signaling, 'WHAT?! ARE YOU CRAZY?! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!'

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll just find somewhere else to sit." Hojo left and Kagome along with Sango and Miroku stared at him.

"What?" Inuyasha said.

"What was that? And why are you so late to school?" Sango said in a shocked manner.

"Nothing, and you should ask Kagome why I'm late."

"What? I don't like alarm clocks, they wake me up!" Kagome said.

"That's what they do. They wake you up!" Inuyasha said. The whole class looked at them, but they didn't notice.

"Well, sorry! It's your fault you can't wake up on your own!"

"I'm surprised I could wake up after the no sleep I got because you kept on kicking me!"

"Well, I need my space! You kept moving close to me!"

"Well, I'm not used to sharing a bed!" Inuyasha and Kagome opened their eyes wide open and started to look around the class. 'Oh crap! New rumor, this one's a lot worse now…This whole freaking school is a bomb just waiting to explode. We're the news of the school, and if we keep on saying things like this in public, things will just keep on getting worse.'

'Shit! The whole school's gonna hear about this, by the end of this period, the entire student body will find out and think worse than it is, well actually, they don't know about the marriage thing yet, but what Inuyasha just said, they'll draw conclusions and get the wrong idea! AHH! Inuyasha is so going to be hurt.' Kagome thought.

Whispers were already starting throughout the rather large class. "Quiet down class, I know we haven't done much, but since you're my advanced class, I'm just going to let you have the rest of the week free from work, since you're already ahead of the regular classes. " The science teacher, Mrs. Kono said.

The bell rang and school was over and through out the whole day, Inuyasha and Kagome didn't even look at each other." Hey, do you guys want us to say after school for you guys until track is over?" Miroku asked.

"Crap, that's today?" Inuyasha whined.

"Baby." Kagome mumbled. "Sure. You can stay on the bleachers and work on any homework he have."

"Ok, let's get going." Sango hurried everyone onto the track.

Inuyasha and Kagome got changed and went onto the track. "Uh, where's everyone? Where's the track team?" Kagome looked around the track.

"You are the track team." The coach said.

"What was that?" Inuyasha asked.

"No, I'm just kidding, we're not going to train at this field, we're going to the field beyond the park, let's go."

"Can we come?" Sango asked,

"Sure, they have bleachers there; just don't get in the way." Coach Mitisumi said.

They got to the track, it was huge! It was a full mile track and they track. The team, consisting of 10 people, were there.(A/n, I'm not on track, I dunno how many people are on the track team regularly.)

"Well, we've got some major work to do. We have to narrow this team down to 4 people, I just chose the fastest people out of each class, I need the fastest people of this school!" Coach Mitisumi blew a whistle. "Ok you sissies, run the mile, the first 4 people who cross the finish line will be on the real team!"

She blew her whistle again and everyone ran. And guess who won? None other than Kagome, Inuyasha, Hojo, and Sesshomaru.(A/n, in this story, no relation to Inuyasha.)

"Congrats. You've selected few have the track team. And you're the fast girl in school. Now all of you go home, get some rest and come to the next practice!"

They changed and walked home. "Wow, she's cruel. Hasn't she heard of Amendment VIII (8 )? No cruel and unusual punishment?" Miroku joked.

"Yeah, and what was the whole science thing about Inuyasha?" Sango asked.

"Eh, er, it was nothing ok?!" Inuyasha blabbed.

"It didn't look nor sounds like nothing." Miroku added.

"What do you know?!"

"A lot actually. I know 11=2 and I defiantly know there's something going on with you and Kagome." Miroku said.

"Really, I'd like to know as well." Kagome opened the door and the all came in.

"Know what darlings?" Kagome's mom came out of the dining room with everyone else.

"Don't you people go to work or something?" Sango asked.

"Yeah, but not lately." Inuyasha's mom said.

"Inuyasha told this guy to back off Kagome, and it's weird because he hates her, so we wanna know why he did it." Miroku said.

"SHUT UP!" Inuyasha screamed. "It's nothing ok?! I don't even know why I did it!"

"You like her, you like her, you like her!" The two mothers were jumping around and looked like they were playing pat-a-cake.

"Mom! Stop it!" They both yelled.

"And I don't like her, it-it was just a really bad reaction or something." Inuyasha said.

"Sure it is…" Kagome's dad said and winked at him.

"Ah! Stop with all the winking and saying that I like her, I don't!" Inuyasha barged upstairs.

"We need to practice the ensemble!" Kagome yelled and walked into the ballroom.

Inuyasha stomped back downstairs in the ballroom staircase. When he got down, he looked really calm.

"Ok, who are you and what have you done with Inuyasha?" Miroku asked.

Inuyasha gave a grin that made everyone take a step back, "Let's just practice for a while and then take a break and go to our backyard and take a swim!"

"Our?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah, you live here, too right?"

"Yeah…really, who are you?" Kagome looked at him.

"Inuyasha, your fiancé."

Kagome felt a lump in her throat when he said the word 'fiancé' and said, "What?"

He shrugged, "Might as well be. Can't really see it any other way."

"You haven't proposed. Wait- hold on, you have major mood swing issues!" Kagome screamed.

"Ok, let's just skip practice until we finish our swim. Miroku, Sango, go grab your bathing suits and meet us in the backyard. Miroku and Sango had their jaws wide open. "Well, what are you waiting for? Go." They slowly walked backwards and ran out when they reached the door.

"Ok, what is wrong with you?" Kagome demanded and pointing/poked her finger against his chest.

"You know, you turn me on when you're mad." Inuyasha grinned.

Kagome just looked at him between, 'What the hell?' and 'Freak!' "Eww, that's sick." Kagome ran upstairs.

"I hope you're running to get your bathing suit." Inuyasha yelled upstairs. He pushed opened the door that went to the dining room and 4 parents fell. "We're you people eavesdropping again?"

"Uhh, let's just say we're happy you patched things up with Kagome." Inuyasha's dad said.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and went upstairs. 'Wait, what the hell just happened?!' Inuyasha thought and went through a flashback of a couple of moments ago, 'Crap! Who the hell was that!? What did I say?! What did I do?! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!' He just shrugged to himself and thought 'Oh well, might as well make the best of this…maybe something will go right and I'll get back to normal. He went into his room and Kagome was already dressed in a yellow bikini and left the room to go to the pool not even looking at him.

Inuyasha went out onto the balcony and looked down at the swimming pool. 'Sango and Miroku are already there, gotta hurry. Hey, Kagome looked hot just now. AHH! STUPID THOUGHTS!'
