Chapter 6 - Temporary alliance

The alarm clock rung through out the house, and Kagome whimpered, not wanting to awaking. After a few minutes, she reluctently silenced the alarm clock and got out of bed.

She slipped on a forest green spaghetti shirt and some blue hip-huggers.

Kagome grabbed the hair brush, and ran it through her hair for a few minutes. She sighed and stared at herself in the mirror. Satisfied, she put the brush down and went downstairs.

"Morning, honey!" Her mother said cheerfully, "Want some eggs and bacon?"

Kagome shook her head. "Sorry, mom. I've gotta go." She grabbed a pop-tart and stuffed it in her mouth before she even reached the door.

"Kagome!" Her mother said, poking her head from the kitchen, eyeing her daughter suspiciously. "Why were you late getting home last night, honey?"

Kagome gulped down her pop-tart before she had a chance to choke on it.

That was right..she didn't tell her mother what had happened, because as soon as she got home, she ran up to her room and fell asleep.

"Oh, I just hung out at Sango's." She said, waving her hand cheerfully.

'I can't tell mom what happened,' Kagome thought to herself, 'She'd probably never let me outside again!'

Her thoughts lingered to what her mom might do if she found out she was nearly raped, making her shudder.

Her mother studied her daughter a few moments, checking to see if she was telling a lie. Kagome shifted uncomfortably under her mother's suspicious stare, but still managed to look confident and truthful.

Fortunately, her mom found no proof of dishonesty, and smiled at her daughter. "Okay, honey. Have a great day at school!"

"Thanks, mom! I will!" Kagome said, and bounded out the door. She sighed in relief. 'That was close.' She thought.

Kagome noticed Sango and Miroku accross the street, and ran over to them. "Hey, guys!" She said cheerfully.

"Hey, Kagome!" Sango said, smiling cheerfully. "What's up?"

"Nothing, what about you?"

Sango shook her head. "Ditto." She eyed Miroku, who had a red hand print on his left cheek, and was walking away from the two girls fearfully.

Kagome supressed a giggle, knowing exactly why.

She could tell that Sango and Miroku both had the hots for each other. Though, Miroku seemed to have the hots for every pretty girl.

Everytime Miroku walked up to them, there was tiny, nearly unoticeable blush response from Sango, and Kagome had noticed it on several occassions.

She shrugged it off as they approached school.

A girl with blond hair walked up, crossing her arms over her cheerleading shirt. "Well, well, well.." She snickered, "So you can't avoid Sesshoumaru's hot-ness either."

'What is she talking about?' Kagome thought in confusion. Not in the mood, she stomped into the school, Sango following behind with the same bewildered expression.

As soon as they went inside the building, they both gasped.

Kagome snatched down one of the hundreds of papers that were posted on the wall.

There, in her very hands, was the picture of Kagome from yesterday - embracing Sesshoumaru, with an UNBUTTENED blouse!

'Consider it payback.' It read at the bottom.

'Payback?' Kagome thought. It only took her a few moments to realize who did this. Her eyes burned with anger. 'Kikyo.'

"I'm going to kill that SLUT!" Kagome screamed, crumbling up the paper and tossing it to the ground, stopping on it furiously.

Sango put a hand on her friend's shoulder, she, too knowing who did this. "Don't worry," Sango said, "We'll get her back."

Kikyo walked up, her eyes shining triumphetly. "Don't start something you can't finish, Kagome-chan." She said all too innocently.

"I am NOT your friend, and you're going to pay for this!" Kagome snapped, balling her fists until they were a dark, crimson red.

Kikyo chuckled. "Whatever you say.." She walked off, laughing in an unlady-like manner.

How could you know

That behind my eyes

A sad girl cries

Kagome ran through the laughing, taunting halls, into the girls bathroom.

How could you know

That I'm not the average girl

"Kagome!" She could hear Sango knock on the door. "Kagome..can in..?"

I'm carrying the weight of the world

Kagome slumped down onto the floor, and leaned her head up against the cool, gray wall.

So can you get me out of here

Sango walked in quietly, a look of concern on her face.

Can you get me out of here

"Why?" Kagome asked quietly, "Why did I have to move here?" She rested her chin atop her knees, trying to fight back tears.

How could you know..

Sango took a seat next to her angery friend, and rubbed her shoulder comfortingly. "Kagome.." She began, but was cut off.

"I've tried to be strong.." Kagome said, taking deep breaths to prevent herself from shedding tears. "I've tried to ignore Kikyo..this isn't working..it's as if she blames me for everything that goes wrong!" She abruptly tackled Sango into an embrace, and began to cry.

Sango pat her friends back, and rested her chin on Kagome's shoulder. "She won't get away with this.." She whispered confidently to her friend. "..I promise."

'.'.'.'.'

Meanwhile, Sesshoumaru stomped through the halls, a hint of anger in his eyes.

'This is definately the work of that wench Kikyo.' He told himself, as he sent a death glare at a snickering by-passer, who immediately shut up and backed off.

'She'll pay for this, dearly..'

'.'.'.'.'

After Sango comforted Kagome for a few minutes, they both walked out, and almost literally ran into Sesshoumaru.

"I see you aren't taking that bitches sick jokes very well." He said, eyeing Kagome who's face was red and puffy from crying.

"Well, duh!" She said, whiping the tears from her eyes. "She humilated me! I'm sick of it!!"

"I say we create a temporary treaty." Sesshoumaru said suddenly, making both girl's snap their eyes at him in shock. "We'll get out revenge on this wench, and once it's done - we'll act like it never happened, we will need not to speak to each other, ever again."

"I thought you..hated me?" Kagome stuttered.

"In times of revenge, I can tolerate you."

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Fine, I'm in." Both amber and honey brown eyes shot in Sango's direction. "Sango?"

"Do you really think..I can resist a chance to give that slut a taste of her own medicine." Sango smirked. "I'm in."

"Then it's agreed," Kagome said, immediately brightening, "We'll throw everything that comes to mind at her."

Sesshoumaru and Sango nodded.

The bell rang, and the temporary trio headed off to home ec.
