Chapter 4: Impressions

Kagome pretended to be so engaged in her conversation with Sango only to avoid the numerous glances that her classmates have been giving her. She saw how the girls she knew from school were all bulging her eyes at her, some whispering to their friends to how Kagome looks. And pretty much, they're all positive comments such as her looking so cute in her skirt.

One thing she didn't like was how the guys are staring at her, so amazed at her look. They haven't seen her dress like that since a year ago, when she was a freshmen. And a few of them who had transfered from different schools hasn't really seen her in those kinds of outfits before.

Everyone knew to why Kagome doesn't wear any girly outfits though, that is one thing that Kagome's friends made sure everyone knows...because they don't want anyone thinking that she is a real tomboy, even though Kagome told them that she is.

She spotted Kikyo's cheerleading squad looking at her, amazed at the same time. But she couldn't help but notice a face in that group who had a scowl on her face.....Kikyo.

Now, there they were, middle-front-row seat in the stadium. Kagome was in the middle of Sango and Yuka, while Erin sat on Yuka's left side. Kagome tried to listen intently to what Sango was saying, but couldn't find the strength to focus because she was too busy trying to hide her face from the crowd.

However, Sango did notice after a while that Kagome wasn't paying attention to her. She patted Kagome's back and suggested that she should just focus on the game and nothing at all.

Both girls turned their attention to the football field as soon as they heard the blaring announcement about the game that's about to start.

" Welcome to you guys...let's start this football game shall we?!" the announcer yelled over his mic.

As a response, the crowd cheered, yelling at the top of their lungs. They were clapping their hands, stomping their feet, trying to do anything that would make the loudest noise. The whole stadium erupted with an ear defeaning noise which was enough to pump up the football players that were about to come out on the field.

A/N: Saikyou highschool- Inuyasha and Kagome's school.....Raikou highschool- the other school that Inuyasha's playing agaisnt with

The announcer announced the Raikou highschool and they came out only to receive an amount of 'boos' from the crowd. Then, the announcer announced the Saikyou highschool next. They ran out on the field as the crowd went wild. The bleachers erupted with loud, cheering noise and the stomping of feet.

Kagome clapped her hands and spotted Inuyasha running beside Miroku and she saw him directly looking at her. Kagome sharply turned her head away, turning back to Sango, who was still chatting about this guy that she kicked in the shins when they were at the mall.

Inuyasha saw Kagome's reaction and sighed to himself. Kagome's been distant from him for a long time now, mainly his fault, and he now find it hard to fulfill the bet. His thoughts were disrupted when Miroku elbowed him on the side, motioning him to focus on what their coach was saying.

Kikyou growled, suddenly not liking the idea of the bet as she watched Inuyasha stare at Kagome from far off.

" Ok, guys. Focus today alright. We are not getting beat in our own homefield. Ain't gonna happen....NEVER! Alright, now...here's our paly today..." Coach Kirou explained to them with lots of enthusiasm to pump the boys up.

However, Inuyasha couldn't keep all his attention to what his coach was saying. Half of his mind was still wandering on some plan about making a certain girl fall in love with him.

" Alright, that's the play boys. Go out there and win it for our school...or some special people to you guys," Coach Kirou added with a wink. Inuyasha's face suddenly brightened, an idea popping on his head.

" Coach, can I do something for just a sec?" Inuyasha asked.

" Inuyasha, the game's about to start. Get out there now!" Coach Kirou shouted over the people's cheering.

" Yeah, but I really have to do this."

" I'll do it for you then..."

Inuyasha sighed, looking at his team mates who were waiting impatiently for him out in the field to have a talk. There was no other choice...

" Ok, coach..before the game starts I want you to......."

" Man, I was laughing so hard. While Yuka stood still, mouth wide open as they took off running," Sango said.

" That's because you kicked him so hard, and I didn't get the time to ask them for their numbers," Yuka pouted, her arms crossed across her chest.

Kagome shook her head, " Do you really think that they would still give out their numbers to you?"

" I didn't kick them. I wasn't the crazy girl who roams around kicking people," Yuka glared at Sango.

" Well too bad, because you were hanging around at the store with this crazy girl."

The girls continued to chatter but stopped as they heard the coach voice on the speakers. The whole crows quieted down, interested in hearing what he has to say.

" Sorry about this sudden announcement, but I just have to do this as a favor to someone who wouldn't shut up," the crowd laughed. " Anyways, first time ever..that one of my players would like for me to announce a person who he's dedicating the game to. Player number twelve, Inuyasha Tashio would like to dedicate this game to....."

Kikyo smiled, thinking to herself that it was her. While the crowd remained quiet, as Kirou read over a piece of paper. Kagome and her friends all raised their eyebrows and gasped at what they heard next.

" Oh....he would like to dedicate this game to a girl so precious to him named Kagome Higurashi!"

The boys started whistling as Kagome remained still, mouth slightly open, a blush creeping up to her face. After a few seconds, everyone was cheering wildly, the boys whistling and hooting, while some girls were yelling 'GO KAGOME'.

Kagome turned her look at Inuyasha who had a big smile displayed on his face. He caught her looking at him, and he winked at her. Most of the girls would blush or swoon from just one wink from Inuyasha Tashio, but Kagome instead, wondered why he would suddenly dedicate a game to her and stuff.

Kagome sat back down, unaware of the evil glare being sent to her by a raging Kikyo down on the side of the field. She couldn't believe it! Her boyfriend dedicating a game to none other than Kagome.

Kikyo knew that it was part of Inuyasha's plan. But still! Jealousy is getting the best of her.

" You satisfied now Inuyasha?" Miroku asked Inuyasha, who was smiling.

Inuyasha nodded his head, " Alright...let's do this!"

" That was the sweetest thing ever, don't ya think Kagome-chan," Erin said to her friend, who seemed to be in deep thoughts.

Kagome didn't bother to respond back, still wondering to why the sudden recognition from Inuyasha seemed weird to her. Inuyasha hasn't talked to her for a long time now, they weren't that close anymore. But once in a while they still see each other when their parents are having dinner over at each other's place.

Kagome remembered one time, where her mom and her went over to Inuyasha's house. That was one time that Kagome didn't talk to Inuyasha, she instead went with Sesshoumaru, while Inuyasha busied himself talking to his friends on his cellphone.

" Kagome," Sango tapped her on the shoulders, " what's wrong with you?"

" Huh?...oh its nothing. Don't mind me..."

" You think he's planning something?" Sango asked out of the blue after she saw the other two talk about something each other again.

Kagome raised her eyebrows, " What'cha mean?"

" Forget it....nevermind."

(sorry, but i really have no idea to how football works. I don't even know the scoring..so im just inventing stuff)

Inuyasha looked at the score, the game was tied, 27-27. They're on to one last touchdown to finish the game off. The Raikou highschool wasn't what they were expecting. They turn out to be pretty good.

This was it. They had to finish them off. Coach Kirou talked about their last strategy, as the players stood there panting and sweating. All were out of breath. Inuyasha stood with his hands behind his head trying to calm his breathing.

He couldn't afford losing this game, since he dedicated it to Kagome. A part of his plan must be put to work now and that is to get Kagome to talk to him again.

" Ok, go out there and finish them off guys!" Coach Kirou roared at his players. Inuyasha was about to run back to the field when Coach Kirou grabbed him by his left arm. Inuyasha turned to him with a questioningly look on his face.

" The thing that you told me in the locker a while ago. Is that Kagome girl the one you were talking about?"

Inuyasha was suddenly taken aback by his question. Although he didn't get the chance to answer him when his coach pushed him towards the field. He turned to look at him and saw him shaking his head.

" Hey Inuyasha, come on!" Kouga yelled out. Inuyasha sprinted towards the group and did a small talk and went on to their position. It was their ball and they need the final touchdown.

The referee whistled and off they go. Kouga had the ball and Miroku tackled the player that was about to tackle Kouga. He rammed him into the ground and got up quickly, still leading the way for Kouga.

Inuyasha ran to the other side, following Kouga's pace. The crowd all stood up, too tensed by the game.

Kagome also stood up, her hands gripping Sango's arm as she tried to hold her breath at the uptaking game.

Miroku suddenly got tackled to the ground by a Raikou player coming up from behind. Kouga kept on running, 15 feet from the touchdown. He saw another Raikou player running up to him. He looked around and saw Inuyasha. He was the last resort.

Kouga threw the ball at Inuyasha, as he got lunged at the back by the other player. Inuyasha was 10 feet from the touchdown, his eyes carefull watching where the ball was about to land.

The football sailed up high, and Inuyasha caught it with ease. He kept on running, two players from the Raikou team coming up closely behind him. He was almost there...and he saw this other guy from his team tackle the two other players.

Inuyasha, with a big wide grin displayed on his face, ran up to the last few feet and made the touchdown. The crowd erupted with noise. Everyone going wild and crazy, even Kagome was screaming up to the top of her lungs with lots of enthusiasm.

THE SAIKYOU HIGHSCHOOL WON!!

The cheerleaders, which included Kikyo, were all jumping up and down yelling Inuyasha's name. Another victory for Saikyou highschool.

Inuyasha grinned, raising the ball up high. The other Saikyou players ran up to him, highfive-ing each other.

Miroku clapped Inuyasha on the back, with a big wide grin plastered on his face.

" We won again!" Kouga came up behind the two.

" Man, you were fired up Inuyasha!" one of the players said.

" Of course, he dedicated the game to Kagome," another player butted in.

" I just saw her right now, and she's dressed all girly. And man, does she look hot!"

Inuyasha took a peak at the bleachers, hoping to catch a glimpse of Kagome but he didn't see her there. He was gonna look for her when Kikyo came up to him, kissing him on the lips. Inuyasha pulled away to receive an annoyed look on Kikyo's face, although he ignored it.

He headed towards the locker room, the others following up behind him. Where was Kagome?

" Kagome, don't you at least want to tell them that they did a great job!" Yuka exclaimed, pouting because Kagome insisted that they should leave. They stood beside her car, Kagome climbing up on her side.

" No need. They'll receive lots of them from the cheerleaders and their friends," Kagome responded.

Erin sighed, " But don't you think you should at least tell Inuyasha that he did a good job. He dedicated the game for you."

" Nah....I have the feeling that he has something planned..." Kagome said quietly.

" Yeah, same with me." Sango agreed.

Yuka rolled her eyes, getting on the driver's side. " You guys are so paranoid. Seriously!"

" What are you planning Inuyasha??" Kagome thought to herself, watching the people outside the window as Yuka's car sped off.
