Summary: Kagome hates Inu yasha in real life, but she falls in love with him online. What happens when they actually meet one another?
A/N: Thanks for all the reviews! If anyone can think of a better screen name than Hemogak for Kagome, tell me! My brain's just dead right now. I just used Hemogak because it spelled Kagome H. backwards. Though it sounds a little weird………
Chapter 2The rest of the school day was a drag, with Inu yasha bugging her every time he saw her. Ever since biology, rumors started to spread about Kagome and Inu yasha. Kagome was known as the "desperate girl" who just couldn't seem to get over her huge crush on Inu yasha. As Kagome walked through the hall, she could hear people whisper like crazy about her.
Things like: "Oh! There's that girl who has a crush on Inu yasha, but he's giving her a really hard time about it." "Kagome and Inu yasha are going out!" "Did you see how red Kagome got in biology? You could that she has it for him bad!" "Aw……… I feel so sorry for Kagome, with Inu yasha playing around with her like that."
Kagome tried to stay calm, but it was too much. Stupid people were making up stupid rumors about her and Inu yasha, when she wanted nothing to do with him.
It also annoyed her whenever Inu yasha walked around the school with his best friend, Miroku, both looking triumphant. There was always a group of girls trailing after them. Kagome couldn't see what the other girls saw in them.
School had been let out for a while when Sango called. Before starting on homework, Kagome had decided to kill some time.
"So, what's up?" Sango asked.
"Not much. I think I'm going to go online for a while and grab something to eat before I start doing homework," Kagome said with a sigh. "School's a drag, but I'm looking forward to the new play the drama club is putting on. We're doing a play called Reach For Tomorrow this year. It's written by the drama teacher."
"What's it about?"
"Um, well, there's this man who loses his wife in a car accident. He becomes cold-hearted and stops paying attention to his children. A young lady, Maria, becomes a governess for the children and eventually softens the heart of their father and gains his love………"
(A/N: Doesn't it sound familiar? Yup, it's like Sound of Music, but there's no singing involved.)
"Sounds interesting. I'm definitely going to watch this thing."
"I'm thinking about trying out for the leading role."
"Oh? That's great! I hope you get the part."
"Yeah, me too. So, how's life with that little perverted fried of yours?"
Sango snorted at the other side of the phone line. "Friend? He's unbelievable."
"Unbelievable?" Kagome laughed.
"You know what I mean. He's so disgusting. He flirts with every girl he sees. He is such a player! I can't stand him."
"Well, did he do anything to you?"
"No! Thank God!"
"Then why are you so upset? Do you like him or something?" Kagome asked suspiciously.
"No way! Why would I ever fall for someone as perverted as Miroku? He is such a jerk!" Sango exclaimed.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever."
"I don't," Sango repeated, making sure Kagome got that stuck in her head. "Anyways, how about you and Inu yasha? You guys seem to have a little something there. You know what they've been saying at school."
"Don't remind me," Kagome said dully. Then, she became suspicious. "You don't believe there's something going on between us, do you?"
"No! Of course not! Should I? Anyways, my mom's yelling at me. I'll talk to you online, okay?" Before Kagome could say reply, Sango hung up.
Kagome turned on her computer. Right as she signed on, a screen instantly popped up. It was a chat room invitation from Sango.
Kagome accepted the invitation and entered the chat room. She saw that, once again, there were many screen-names she didn't recognize. Everyone would just keep inviting their friends, who'd invite their other friends. The only people she recognized in the chat room were Hojo, a guy from drama, who has a humungous crush on her, and her three other good friends, Ayumi, Yuka, and Eri.
She skimmed through the conversation that everyone had chatted about. Everyone was talking about the Winter Ball that was coming up. Old news. Kagome never found dances that interesting. She didn't see the point of going. "You guys are talking about the dance again?" Kagome typed. "Doesn't it get old?"
Sango wrote back, "Of course! Aren't you excited?"
Kagome sighed, and wrote, "Whatever."
A couple minutes later, another screen popped up. It was an instant message from ShikonBoy. A smile slowly spread on Kagome's face. She didn't know exactly who it was, but they had been talking to each other for the past few months. They had met in a random chatroom. His name was Koji. He was a senior, just like she was. She didn't know where he lived or which high school he went to, but she didn't mind. She had grown comfortable talking to Koji over the past few months and decided it was safe to trust him with her secrets.
ShikonBoy: Hey, Tara.
Tara. Her online name. She never really trusted the Internet, more or less, the people online. Screen names got passed around, who knows what kind of people will end having her screen name. Though she liked Koji, there were always those "what if" questions.
Hemogak: Hey! How was your day?
ShikonBoy: Well, it was okay.
ShikonBoy: I know this girl is probably hella pissed at me right now, but I guess it's my fault.
Hemogak: Oh really? What happened?
Kagome felt a pain of jealousy when Koji mentioned another girl. She had grown to like him, but she couldn't have a crush on him………could she?
ShikonBoy: Nothing really, it's just me and my lame jokes.
Hemogak: Wow, that's hard to imagine. You are such a sweet boy.
Kagome felt herself blush. I did not just say that.
ShikonBoy: Gee, I'm sure that's what she thinks.
Hemogak: Um, well, do you like her or something?
ShikonBoy: Like her? No. Far from that. I just like teasing her. I got a little laugh out of it, but now I feel like a low-life loser.
Hemogak: Oh
ShikonBoy: Yup. Well, enough about my day. What's up with you and lover boy?
Kagome laughed.
Hemogak: Don't get me started. I swear, I don't understand how I could hate someone as much as I hate him, but I try not to. I just wish he were as considerate and thoughtful as you are.
Oops, not again.
ShikonBoy: Give him a chance. Maybe he just has a secret crush on you and is just trying to hide it to show how macho he is.
Hemogak: That'll never happen. It's called pure hate.
They continued talking until Kagome called her down for dinner. Talking to Koji always brightened her day. Kagome didn't know why, or how, but she was grateful that he was always there when she needed to talk to someone.
A/N: Kind of obvious who ShikonBoy is, isn't it? Sorry if the chapter was boring and their conversations are boring. XD Bear with me, it'll get better!
