Messing Around
School starts: let the drama begin
" Inuyasha get your lazy ass off the damn couch and into your uniform," yelled a very pissed off Sess. Inuyasha opened a lazy eye to look over to his brother.
Inuyasha yawned, " Feh, just 5 more minutes." Inuyasha felt the blanket pulled off his body and curled up into a ball in response.
" No NOW!!!" yelled Sess, a dangerous edge in his voice. Inuyasha ignored his threatening voice, which he soon regretted. Sess sighed leaving Inuyasha snuggled up on the couch.
After 2 minutes and not being disturbed by his brother Inu sensed something was wrong. Opening his eyes slightly he caught sight of Sess holding a pair of shiny scissors in one hand and Inuyasha's skate shoes in the other.
" ARRGG, what the fuck are you doing?" he yelled jumping off the couch and tackling his brother to the ground. He made a wild grab for the objects in his brother's hand but Sess pulled them out of reach.
" Good to see your up. Now get ready!" Inuyasha ignored his comments his eyes trained on the precious treasure Sess was threatening. He made another wild grab for them but missed causing him to topple to the ground.
" Get ready," Sess repeated throwing the dirty skate shoes at Inu. Inuyasha grumbled angrily from the ground glaring up at his older sibling. ' Thinks he can boss me around! I'll show him, the bastard will pay' he mumbled seizing his skate shoes and examining them to make sure they were all right. Inuyasha glared fiercely at the scissors that Sess had threatened them with. " Don't worry he'll never get you my babies."
" Yo dude, your not talking to your shoes again are ya?" Inuyasha turned to see Miroku leaning on the doorframe. Inuyasha had to hold back a laugh at his friend's appearance. Miroku wore a white shirt covered in a green blazer. Instead of his usual baggy jeans he wore a pair slightly loose gray trousers.
" Man you look… spiffy?" Inuyasha couldn't contain his laugher as it erupted. He had to bend over because his stomach was beginning to hurt.
Miroku donned a sarcastic expression, " Yah dude, har har." He shifted his weight from the doorframe and started to walk towards Inu. " I see you'll be a big hit with the ladies if you come dressed like that."
Inuyasha looked down at himself to and back up at Miroku. " What's wrong with what I'm wearing?"
" Well," Miroku adopted a thoughtful expression, " Nothing, except for the fact that you aren't wearing anything, well except your boxers" Inuyasha gave him an 'and?' expression. Miroku sighed. " So have you tried your uniform yet?"
While tossing cushions off the couch he replied, " Nah not yet."
" So you going to do it anytime soon?" Inuyasha shrugged flapping out his blanket. Putting the blanket down he stood up straight and asked,
" Hey Miroku, you seen my phone?" Miroku shook his head while placing the cushions back onto the couch and lying down. Grouching Inuyasha continued to tear the room apart in search of his lost phone. He'd almost demolished it when he heard a faint tune of Kelly Clarkson's 'anytime' coming from Miroku's ass. Miroku immediately jumped off the couch to reveal Inuyasha's phone.
" Kelly Clarkson?" questioned Miroku.
" Shut up man!" Inuyasha grabbed his phone clicking the center button. " Hello?"
" Hey dude," Inuyasha heard the echo of Miroku's voice in the background. He turned to face his friend who was speaking into his own phone. " What? Come on whenever I lose my phone I call it to find it. It's the obvious thing to do."
" Feh. Well I'm going to get changed." Inuyasha left Miroku to ponder the universe and went up to his room.
Kagome stared at her reflection. Her hair was down and she wore her same old boring uniform, short green skirt with a white shirt. " I hate school," she muttered. Truth was she didn't mind it that much. Her grades were above average and she was basically the most popular girl at school because of her good nature and good looks. Still she couldn't wait to get out and start her own life.
She couldn't wait to just get up and leave. Leave everything, her responsibilities and her problems, even Kouga. She had a faint memory of telling him how she felt. She felt a pang of guilt. She was going to tell him eventually but not in such a frank manner. She would have liked to try and soften the blow, but she guessed it was to late for that now.
She wished to death that she could just leave that night behind, although one good thing did come from the party.
The whole night she kept dreaming about the mysterious boy at the party. By now she had convinced herself that she had made him up in her drunken state. Still it was nice to reminisce, even if the events never happened.
" Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha… "
Inuyasha gave a deep growl. " It's not funny!!!"
Unable to speak from his laughter Miroku just nodded in a " yes it is" way. Inuyasha's scowl deepened as he suppressed the urge to beat the crap out of Miroku. Instead he picked a cushion and hurled it at his friend, " Just shut up."
" Okay, okay no need to get violent. Besides you don't look that bad, sort of."
" Dude, my pants are a size too small and my shirt is about 3 too big. What the hell was my brother doing?"
Miroku shrugged. " I dunno, but hey now the girls can check out your hot ankles." Once again Miroku burst into laughter.
" Shut up!" Inuyasha tried to pull down his pants so that they would cover his shoes; right now they were about ten centimeters to short. " Okay that's it I'm just wearing my jeans. I don't give a shit what they do I'm not wearing these pants!"
" Meh," Miroku shrugged. " Just don't be surprised if you get kicked out on the first day."
" Whatever."
Inuyasha went up to his room to get changed while Miroku entertained himself by watching cable.
" Hey Kagome ready to go?"
Kagome shifted her gaze to Sango as she came walking through her bedroom door. " Yeah I'm ready." She slung her backpack over her shoulder and headed out the door with Sango. " So Sango, you do know that I haven't forgotten bout that mystery guy of yours last night, right?"
Sango blushed a bright red. " Uh right, him."
Kagome nodded slowly saying, " Yes him."
" Well… he's nobody," Quickly Sango got into her car and started the engine. Kagome hopped into the passengers seat and stared at her friend.
" Hmm he must be pretty special if you won't even tell me."
" Special?" Sango spluttered. " That pervert is special in no way, shape or form. He's a dirty hentai!" Kagome sat back in her seat after her friend's outburst. She was glad she did because as soon as the car was out of park Sango slammed her foot down on the accelerator. Kagome let out a small 'eep' as she wrestled with her seat belt.
" Sango I don't want to die a virgin!"
Sango lips tilted into a smile as she released her foot from the accelerator and the car started to slow.
" His name is Miroku."
" Huh?" Kagome tilted her head to the side to see her friend. Realization hit her, " Oh my god, you mean that guy you slept with at the start of the holidays?"
Sango nodded.
" That's who you were looking for?"
Again Sango nodded.
" Well did you find him?"
" Yes. That bastard will never change. Just when I thought he might of he starts to grope me again. Oh and by the way, I'd bet money on it that he was the one that spiked the drink. He did the exact same thing at the last party I was at with him."
Kagome was too deep in thought to register the last part. Instead she said, " So do you love him?"
Sango looked over at Kagome, the quickly back to the road. " Well for a while I thought I did. I mean when I saw him with those other girls I swear I could feel my heart breaking. I cried actual tears over that bastard. I dunno I guess I just wanted to see him again one last time to know that the feeling was gone."
" Are they?"
Sango sighed loudly, " Well honestly, I don't know."
Kagome rubbed her arm comfortingly. " Don't worry I'm sure that you feelings will sort themselves out."
" Yeah I guess,"
" Dude this is much better."
Miroku looked up from the television to Inuyasha. " I'm telling you, they'll kick you out."
" Feh, does it look like I care?"
Miroku raised an eyebrow, " Well I know you couldn't give a shit but how about you're brother?"
Inuyasha paused before saying, " I'm not scared of that dog. He can bite me for all I care."
" Be careful what you wish for little brother," Sess's cold, stoic voice broke through the boys conversation causing Miroku to back away slightly. " Inuyasha, what are you wearing?"
Inuyasha glared at his brother, " Clothes."
" Don't be a smart ass Inuyasha, it will only get you into trouble."
" Feh, like I care. Come on Miroku, we're outta here." Inuyasha grabbed his school bag and stomped out the door.
" Ah, bye Sess" said Miroku nervously as he ran after Inuyasha.
After Sango parked her car in the student car park both her and Kagome made their way into the school. "Glad to be back?"
Kagome shook her head. " Nah not really, how about you?"
" Can't complain, schools a great distraction from the rest of the world." Kagome laughed as she linked arms with Sango.
" I'm so glad I have you."
" Me too."
" Hey Kagome, Sango, over here." Both smiled at their group as they walked over to them. As soon as Kagome arrived she could feel Kouga's discomfort to her. That guilt that she was feeling previously surfaced again. She smiled weakly at him and went to sit next to him.
" Hey,"
" Hey," he replied gruffly.
" Um, Kouga could we talk?"
" I think we might have done enough talking at the party." Kagome winced at his harsh tone. He went to turn away but she grabbed his sleeve.
" Kouga, I'm sorry. I like you, I really do. Just not in that way."
" Yeah I got that much from what you said before." He tried to turn away again, but she refused to let go.
" Kouga please, don't be like this. We've been friends since high school. Don't let this little thing wreck that for us."
He gave a small smile, " Yeah but Kagome I've loved you since we first met. I can't help the way I feel."
Kagome let go of his arm and looked down at her hands," Yah, neither can I."
" I won't give up, you know that don't you?"
" Kouga I want your friendship, that's all."
" But I love you,"
" I love you too. Just not in that way. You're a great guy Kouga, any girl would be lucky to have you."
" Just not you aye?" Kagome nodded solemnly. He smiled down at her wrapping his arms around her. He whispered quietly, " I won't give up."
"Lets take your car Miroku,"
" Why?" said Miroku looking from his bomb to Inuyasha's sports car.
" Because, I don't want Kagome to think I'm rich. I'm going to swoon her with my natural charms." Miroku looked doubtful but agreed anyway saying,
" Hey man this is up to you, however when you fail it will be me laughing at your rejected ass."
" Keh, like she'll reject me. She was all over me at the party and her at place. Okay so I was ' Blade' at her place and she was drunk at the party but that is not the point. She'll fall for me all over again."
" Gee not arrogant or anything are you?"
" Keh, whatever just drive monk." Miroku shrugged and shifted into first gear.
In Kouga's embrace Kagome opened her eyes to see all her friends staring at them. She retracted from the hug and smiled sheepishly.
" Ooh something going on there Kagome?" said Yuka in a suggestive tone.
Kouga answered saying, " Nah Yuka, we're just friends." He threw a meaningful look at Kagome. She couldn't meet his gaze. Sango saw this and pulled Kagome to the side while questions were thrown at Kouga.
" Hey girl, are you alright?"
" Yeah I'm fine."
" Well what was that about then?"
" Oh I was just talking to him. You know about the party and stuff. I feel so bad for what I said."
" But you meant it right?"
" Yeah, but I didn't have to be so harsh about it. I'm never drinking at a party again. From now on I'm bringing my own water bottle and never letting it leave my sight!"
" Don't worry I'll get that monk if it's the last thing I do."
Kagome gave her a strange look. " Okay you've lost me there." However she didn't think that her friend was listening anymore. Sango was staring at a boy with a low ponytail and a scruffy appearance. Kagome waved her hands in front of Sango's eyes saying, " You ho, anyone home?"
Finally Sango stuttered out, " It's Miroku."
Pulling up into the school Inuyasha gave a low whistle. " Man this place is posh."
" No shit, some people pay up to 700 000 yen to send their kids here. To get scholarships here you have to be the best. Which by the way I am."
" Keh I could beat you're ass at soccer anytime, anywhere." Inuyasha hoped Miroku didn't take this seriously though. Even if he hated to admit it Miroku was the best.
" Ha ha ha, yah well you can take comfort in the fact that you're the best academically." Miroku covered his mouth and started coughing what sounded strangely like 'square'. Inuyasha growled low in his throat.
" It's not my fault I'm brilliant."
" Poor baby, I feel your pain I really do. I mean you don't study, barely go to class and still end up with honors."
" Keh, whatever monk. Lets get going, I think we need to go to the front office to get our timetables and stuff." Miroku nodded in agreement.
" Okay so Inuyasha, where might this front office be?" Inuyasha paused looking from side to side.
" Shit," Miroku hid a snigger with his hand and faking a coughing fit.
" Fine, what do you suggest we do then?"
Miroku brought his hand up to his chin in a thinking pose, " Well we could check out this place first. I mean we it's the first day. They don't expect us to be on time on the first day do they?"
Inuyasha pondered the idea before agreeing.
Walking through the school Miroku gasped every three seconds. " Oh my god dude, the have a fucking fountain. Shit, and a waterfall. What sort of school is this?"
" A rich one?" Inuyasha however wasn't as impressed as Miroku was. He was used to everything being seriously over done.
" They have a plane man!" Miroku nearly fainted as he saw a group of girls walk past. " Oh my god, look at the chics man. They're hot! I'm in heaven!" Inuyasha merely rolled his eyes as Miroku started to chase the girls he had just seen. Inuyasha didn't have to wait long until Miroku came back with a glowing red handprint across his face.
" It was worth it," Miroku assured his friend.
" Right…" Inuyasha started walking again until something caught his eye. " Hey Miroku look what I found,"
A smile broke out on Miroku's face. " Ah the office. Your smarter than I give you credit for Inuyasha,"
" Gee thanks. That means a lot to me," said Inuyasha sarcastically as he opened the door. Walking in he failed to realize someone was walking out. He felt a thump as someone hit into his chest. He looked down with a growl.
" Inuyasha? What the hell are you doing here? If this is another lame attempt to get me back forget it."
Inuyasha swallowed hard looking down at Kikyou. He still felt something when he looked at her. He just couldn't let her go. He plastered on a cocky smile, " Kikyou, the whole damn world doesn't revolve around you okay. I go to this school now. If you can't deal with it then too bad."
" Ha, you go to this school, don't make me laugh. How could you possibly go to this school?"
Miroku stuck his head into the office and replied, " Well actually he got a scholarship."
" Who asked you monk?" Miroku put up his hands in mock defense and backed away. Kikyou turned back to Inuyasha. She looked him up and down in a calculating stare. " You won't last a day here Inuyasha."
" Feh, we'll see about that."
She shrugged and walked away swinging her hips from side to side.
" You sure you want her back man?"
Inuyasha nodded, " Weird but I think I love her." Miroku gave him a questioning look.
" You sure it's not just indigestion or something?" Inuyasha punched his arm lightly saying,
" Don't be stupid Miroku."
" Just making sure," he said defensively. Walking into the office the receptionist told them both to take a seat. Obliging they both took a seat. Miroku marveled at how comfortable they were. " Hey dude, these chairs are more comfortable than my own bed. There's something fucked up with that."
" Dude shut up otherwise you'll get us kicked out." The receptionist looked at the two briefly before continuing to type.
Countless minutes passed while Inuyasha passed the time reading random posters plastered on the office walls. ' Smoking kills… boring. Don't drink and drive… still boring. Don't have sex, if you do you will get a disease and DIE… okay what the fuck?'
Inuyasha sighed slipping down into the chair. Coughing slightly he tried to remind the secretary of his presence. She looked up for a moment then back to the computer. Inuyasha contemplated faking a heart attack, then deciding it would take to much effort he opted for kicking Miroku.
" Ow, dude what was that for?"
" Why is this taking so long? We've been here for at least three minutes now."
Miroku donned a sarcastic voice, " Yeah I see what u mean. Ages aye?"
Growling Inuyasha stuffed his hands into his jean pockets and decided to be patient and wait. However patience definitely wasn't his strong point. He grabbed his bag and stomped out of the office. Calmly Miroku grabbed his bag and chased after his friend. " Geez Inuyasha, the world doesn't revolve around you, you know. Would it have killed you to wait a few extra minutes?"
Walking away from his friend Inuyasha replied, " Probably not, but why chance it?"
" Ah, you baka. I have no idea why…" Miroku suddenly cut off.
" 'Why' what?" Inuyasha faced Miroku to see him staring off into the distance. " What is it?" Inuyasha waved his hands in front of the monks face. " Hello? Anyone home?"
" I.. it's…" Miroku stuttered.
" Well spit it out!"
" Sango."
" Sango? Who the hell is that?" Miroku merely pointed. Inuyasha's gaze followed Miroku finger to a girl looking equally shocked as Miroku, and then he saw her.
" Kagome?"
The girl squinted then her eyes light up with recognition," Inuyasha?"
" Kagome?" Sango looked to her friend confused and looking for answers.
" Sango," said Miroku in a despite tone grabbing her hand.
" Miroku!" yelled Sango, slapping his hand away.
" Kagome," said Inuyasha happily as he eyed the girl.
" Inuyasha," she said excitedly.
" Kagome?" questioned Miroku. Inuyasha nodded. Miroku smiled widely twitching his eyebrows in a suggestive way.
" Hentai!" yelled Sango as she swiftly slapped Miroku across the face.
He cringed in pain but still managed a pathetic " Sango," Sango glared at him angrily and grabbed Kagome's hand dragging her away.
Inuyasha looked at his friend now holding his cheek gently. She shook he head from side to side. " Miroku, Miroku, Miroku…"
