Chapter Twenty One
They woke up next morning...late...again.
"Hurry up!" Miroku screamed from downstairs.
"Yeah, we're going to be more late than usual!" Sango hollered.
"Sometime today please!"
"Better yet, NOW!"
Inuyasha woke up and yawned, "Man, we didn't switch back yet."
"What? You thought it was an overnight thing?" Kagome said.
"Well, I was hoping it was. Hey, since we're in a hurry, you think we can just dress ourselves? Like the bodies we're in now?"
Kagome sighed, "Are you that desperate or are you just pathetic?"
"Is that a yes?"
"No. Let's just hurry before we get slaughtered by those two."
So they dressed each other and raced downstairs. "About time, let's go already!" Sango said and pulled Inuyasha, "Ok, since you're going to have to be Kagome, I'm going to guide your way through her life, even though it may seem like you're with her all the time because you're in every class with her, she has a life of her own and you're going to have to live it, at least until you switch back."
"Ok, so shouldn't we get going now?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah, come on." Miroku shrugged.
"So, what does Inuyasha usually do?"
"Worry about sports and talk about you all the time." Miroku smiled.
Kagome smiled too, that's very sweet, but...oh never mind. You know, for Sango's boyfriend you're thing like her at all."
"That's what makes us go great together, the chemistry." Miroku laughed.
Inuyasha and Sango were running into the school when the first chime of the bell rang. The second chime rang when they got in the middle of the hallway. They stepped into the classroom when the third and final chime rang. "Phew, we made it." Sango panted.
"What are you so out of breath for? Miroku and I are always late." Inuyasha whispered to Sango as they got in their seats.
When they sat down Miroku and Kagome burst into the room, "Shit, we're late Miroku, and it's your entire fault!" Kagome said harshly to Miroku, silently, as they were getting to their seated.
"Well, Inuyasha and I are always late, and he doesn't care." Miroku said.
"Yeah Kagome, lighten up." Inuyasha said in front of Kagome.
"Sure, but you don't have a flawless attendance record." Kagome nagged.
"Remember, this won't go on YOUR record, so don't get all pissy." Inuyasha turned around when the teacher was giving the group a cold glare.
After lunch, you guessed it; they had to go to the bathroom. "I don't wanna go in the boys' bathroom!" Kagome whined.
"Well, I don't wanna go in the...wait, I do!" and right when Inuyasha was going to rush into the girl's bathroom, Sango pulled him back.
"How about when we get into class, you ask to go to the bathroom and go into you own bathroom. No one goes to the bathroom during class, so no one's going to notice."
"But I don't want to miss science!" Kagome said.
"Kagome, you've been whining a lot today, either you do what I say, or hold it until you get Home!" Sango said.
"Fine, we'll go during science." Kagome crossed her arms and started to go down the hall.
"She's making a big deal out of this." Sango sighed.
"What? You don't think it's a big deal?!" Inuyasha screamed.
"Shh, you'll attract attention." Miroku said.
So in science, they went to the bathroom. Inuyasha went first and on his way back, Kagome was leaving the room to go. He looked frantic, "KAGOME, KAGOME! I went to the bathroom then, something RED started to come out!"
"Inuyasha, don't worry, and stop jumping, your stomach will hurt more than it already is!"
"What's going on?! Why is it hurting so much?! I fell like I can't move! It hurts to move!" Inuyasha said. (A/n, I'm keeping this to a minimum for younger or male audiences. )
"Did you bring my purse?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah."
"Well come on, I'm going to show you something."
After Kagome taught Inuyasha how to use tampons, she told him ALL about "it". "Ew, so you always go though every month?!" Inuyasha made a disgusted face.
"Yeah, you see? Being a girl isn't easy at all."
"Alright, alright. Let's just wait until school's over to figure out how to switch back." Inuyasha said as they started to walk back to class.
"Don't forget, we have things to do after school." Kagome said. "Hey, but do you think that our science teacher would know how to switch us back?"
"Why would she? I mean, I think this is a type of thing that we should learn by ourselves."
"Fine, let's just get this day over with." Kagome was about to open the door when she realized, "Wait, you just WANT to be a girl don't you?"
"What? No." And he said no with a long 'o' and in a way it was more of a yes.
"Sure."
After school, Inuyasha went to the play practice, luckily it wasn't blocking, where you had to memorize your lines. But the play was "Sleeping Beauty" and since Kagome was supposed to play the lead, guess who was her prince?
"Ok people, let's start from the scene were Kagome is sleeping and the prince comes over, says his line, kisses her, then helps her off her bed." said the drama teacher, Mrs. Faye.
Inuyasha laid down on a bench which was supposed to be a bed and closed his eyes.
"Oh fair princess, how shall you awake, with a kiss?" the prince said. He bent over and right when he was an inch away from Inuyasha's mouth, Inuyasha open his eyes, and what he saw wasn't so pretty, he sat up and screamed.
Sango ran over to him, pulled him offstage, and whispered, "Calm down, he wasn't really going to kiss you, not until the actual opening, it's only a rehearsal!"
"Fine, whatever, but it's HOJO! Why is MY girlfriend kissing that BASTARD?!"
"It's called acting Romeo!" Sango whispered.
"Ahem, can we get back to rehearsal now?" Mrs. Faye said.
"Yes, she's ready now." Sango said. The rest of rehearsal didn't go so well, Sango kept on glaring at Inuyasha and Inuyasha kept glaring at Hojo and Hojo kept on mistaking those glares for compassionate adorations.
"24...64...11...HUT!" they quarterback yelled. (A/n, don't know football, don't know what those numbers mean, please bear with me.)
Kagome stood in the middle of the field and thought, "How hard can this be? Just get the ball across the field and you get a point." All of the sudden, Sesshomaru rammed into her and she started to jump around, "OW, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!"
"Hey, look, Inuyasha's a baby!" Koga laughed. Everyone else started to laugh too.
"Hey, you know what? Let's just play." Kagome said roughly.
"Go INUYASHA!" a voice said from the sidelines. Kagome turned that way, and saw Kikyo.
Kagome thought, "Damn, does she always come to Inuyasha's practices? She's making me look like a bad girlfriend! Oh, how I'm going to kill him!" she turned over to the rest of the guys. "Hey, Miroku, does Kikyo always come to his practices?"
"Yeah, I think so." Miroku replied, and right then, Kagome started to turn red with fury. "Ok, Kagome, just focus your anger on the game, Koga, anything, just get out there!"
Kagome ran out onto the field and couldn't do anything, she just ran along with everyone else.
"Aww, little Inuyasha doesn't want to crumble his pride, so he wants to get back in the big game?" Koga made in a baby voice.
"Just shut up and play." Kagome snarled.
After the practices, they all caught up with each other at the park.
"What the hell are you doing kissing all over that Hojo freak?!" Inuyasha demanded.
"WHAT?! What are you doing with your own personal cheering section?!" Kagome screamed so loud that birds started to squawk and fly off.
"You two, calm down, let's all get this straightened out, if you two won't..."Sango started.
"We will for you." Miroku nodded.
"Fine, YOU try and sort this out!" they both yelled and everyone could practically feel the earth move under their feet.
"I'll start." Sango said, "Kagome HAS to kiss him...ONCE...and that's at the actual play premiere night. And hopefully you two will switch before that, or Inuyasha will have to kiss Hojo."
It was Miroku's turn, "Ok, Kikyo is always there, whether Inuyasha likes it or not..."
"I DON'T LIKE IT!" Inuyasha protested.
"AND I DON'T LIKE HOJO!" Kagome hollered.
"Sure you don't..." Inuyasha mumbled.
"Gods, don't you get it, I'm dating you, why would I ever cheat on you?" Kagome sighed.
'Is she really asking that? I can even think of tons of reasons why she would cheat on me.' Inuyasha thought regretfully.
"Let's just go home; you obviously will never understand this." Kagome turn around and tugged Sango along with her, when they were far enough from Miroku and Inuyasha, she started to ask Sango some questions...
"So, you mind telling me what exactly happened on your first day of school being Kagome?" Miroku asked.
"We were rehearsing the play, and that Hojo freak tried to kiss me. Sango kept telling me it was acting, but you know that saying, 'love always blossoms on the stage' or something like that." Inuyasha sighed as he walked along with Miroku to his house.
"So, what actually happened that made Inuyasha so pissed at me?" Kagome asked.
"Well, you were doing act 3 scene 10, where Hojo's about to kiss you and you wake up." Sango paused, "You know, since Inuyasha's in your position..."
"Oh, so that's what happened." Kagome said, "You think he'd be happy if I'd drop out of the play?"
"Kagome! You can't let his control you like that, your life doesn't revolve around his, you know; you have a life, too" Sango said.
"Yeah, I know, but we're best friends, and I don't want to keep fighting like this."
"That, and he's your boyfriend right?" Sango smiled on one side of her face.
"Yeah, so what's your point?" Kagome pushed Sango and she pushed her back. They started to laugh and race home.
"You know what, Inuyasha? I think you took the whole Hojo thing to seriously." Miroku said breaking the long silence as they were walking on the sidewalk to Inuyasha's house.
"What do you mean? She's my girlfriend shouldn't I have been informed if she was going to kiss another guy?!" Inuyasha was apparently outraged. Even if Kagome were to talk to Inuyasha right now, I'd don't think he'd want to compromise.
"Yeah, but she's also your friend; and as her friend, you have to be open minded and understanding." Miroku said.
"Now you're just trying to make me sound like a jerk." Inuyasha frowned.
"You're being more sensitive than usual, are you ok?" Miroku looked at him when they slowly came to a stop a block away from their destination, "You know my dad knows this person that's a psychic and maybe she can help somehow."
"Okay, one, I know she's my friend, she's one of my best friends. Two, what do mean 'I'm sensitive?!' And three, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT SOONER THAT YOU KNEW SOMEONE THAT COUNLD HELP?!"
"I don't know, I guess it just never came up." Miroku said nervously scratching the back of his hand, "Hey, Inuyasha, will you mind if I try to experiment something?"
Inuyasha gave him a suspicious glare, "What..."
SMACK
"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU EVEN TRIED THAT!" Inuyasha screamed at him, "Miroku, is there something you need to tell me, and perhaps that I need to tell Sango, too?"
"AHH! Don't tell Sango, just trying to see if you have the same reflexes as Kagome's."
"And what dos that have to do with anything?!"
"Uhh..."
"You better start running now you freak." Inuyasha started to chase Miroku down the street to Inuyasha's house.
A/n, more to come...this is where I stopped for almost a month now, I've been on hiatus because of exams, now I'm working on the next chapter
