Miss Mysterious: I am so, so sorry for not updating in so long, I just had a super busy weekend; I had a project for school to work on with a friend all of Friday, then on Saturday I worked…needless to say when I got home, I wasn't in the most pleasant of moods, and then Sunday I finished up my solo-part of the project….Still, excuses, don't excuse me. Anyways, even though, I've been a naughty authoress, I still noticed you guys got me to 81 reviews. So…THANK YOU! Okay now the story I promised you, the longest one yet….

Recap: 'I'm not here, say I'm not here Souta…please…' she screamed to herself in her head, that's when she heard it. "I'm over here, Hojo-san!"
Kagome's mouth fell open in shock; she had just given herself away. Hojo grinned joyously, "Excellent, you're here! I'm so glad you're well." He gushed, rushing up to her and seizing her hand.
The miko suddenly wanted to cry, she was wrong, life was officially hell. Oh, where was Inuyasha when you needed him the most?

Hating Hojo
"Oh, you're here, how not nice it is to see you." Kagome said absentmindedly, not quite realizing what had just come out of her mouth until she saw the annoying boy's shocked face.
Hojo quickly closed his gaping mouth and shook his head vehemently in disbelief, he must have not heard her correctly… yes that had to be it. "Higurashi-san, I would very much like it if you accompanied me on a date." He proclaimed suddenly. This time he was determined to get his fellow classmate to go out with him.
The miko covered her hands over her mouth; her lips feeling like they were on fire, the spell seemed to very much want her to tell this boy off. She ran to the bathroom quickly, and slammed the door. Not noticing the awkward looks she received from both her brother and Hojo. She released burning mouth from her hands, than wham answers spewed forth like a tidal wave,
"No, Hojo, I do not go out with you! I don't even like you like that, why do you insist on bothering me so much?" the schoolgirl ranted crazily, than added "Oh and did you know I don't find you attractive either, yes that's right, I think you're a nice boy, but an ugly one at that..." concluded Kagome tiredly.
The shrine maiden slumped down with relief, she could have said all of that right in front of her friend, and really hurt his feelings. She sighed guiltily, as her conscience berated her for really thinking and saying all of that. Hojo was her friend, and he still deserved to be treated with respect. Begrudgingly she got up, knowing what she had to do, but not really wanting to.
Kagome opened the door, and walked out serenely up to the pathetic boy, though she felt like vomiting on the inside. "Yes, I'll go on this date with you." She said truthfully, biting her tongue so she couldn't elaborate anymore.
Hojo eyes lit up with that obsessed fan girl look, "Oh my god! This is great, Kagome, let's go now!" he squealed joyfully. "Where to?" inquired a bored voice. "The park, of course, pumpkin." He replied snootily, as he literally dragged her out the door.
'Pet names, now… kami help me…' she thought to herself, only to hear her voice speak those exact words out loud. "You don't like my term of endearment for you?" Hojo asked, his face turning red in embarrassment. "Sorry…"
"Actually I don't just hate it when you call me that, I think I despise it. I prefer to be called my name by you, thanks." A flat voice snapped at him, once again. Hojo apologized again immediately, but he couldn't help but wonder what was going on with his beloved one. She had never ever acted this mean before it just wasn't in her nature to say nasty things, but now it was like she was speaking right off the top of her head.
Hojo gave a little huff of disappointment as they entered the park. This was not how he imagined their date at all, no the way he saw it was much more…mmm romantic. They, hand-in-hand skipping through the park laughing gaily when suddenly Kagome would trip, and he would catch her. A blush would then spread across her beautiful face, and he'd lean in for the kiss when-
His reverie was interrupted by a girl waving her hand in front of him. "Hello, earth to Hojo! Umm…what are we supposed to be doing out here?" she asked as she crossed her arms. The school boy scratched his head dumbly, "I, well, thought we could take a walk." He said lamely.
Kagome forcibly stopped herself from saying a cruel comment, and then began walking at a rapid pace. Hojo struggled to keep up and make conversation with her. She replied to all his ridiculous questions as polite as she could. He quickly saw that talking was getting him nowhere; he decided it was time to make his dream a reality. So as inconspicuously as he could, he pushed her.
Her body twisted unnaturally and Hojo tried to catch her but being the clumsy idiot he was, things didn't go as planned and the poor girl fell flat on her face painfully. Hojo gathered her up in his arms in what he thought to be a romantic way, just like he had seen all the guys do in those chick flicks. Kagome opened her eyes wearily, and stayed in his arms to stunned to move or speak, the fall had actually really hurt. She glanced down and noticed her stomach was bleeding, pretty badly. A sharp rock had been protruding on the path, and she had been unlucky enough to land on it. The miko turned her eyes on Hojo, and opened her mouth to speak when…
Hojo kissed her straight on the lips, sliding his tongue into her parted mouth. Kagome attempted to scream but the stupid boy just took that as a sign of excitement, and clobbered her tongue more. She hated every minute of this.
Meanwhile Hojo was having the time of his life; he hadn't even bothered to check if she was hurt, because being as smart as he was, well, he knew she was fine. And when she turned her big blue eyes on him, he also knew she was giving him the signal to kiss. It was just like his dream, only this was better. She tasted like strawberries and chocolate, a good combination if you asked him. The kiss was suddenly abruptly ended when…
Kagome kneed him abruptly in the groin; he gasped and rolled over in pain. And she stood up, clutching her wounded stomach. "You are an utter bastard! I hope you rot in hell, you practically just molested me! I should have you sent to jail, no better yet killed! Don't you ever talk or come near me again, you hear me ever!" she howled, kicking him in the balls once more, making sure his ability to reproduce was permanently gone.
Hojo passed out from the pain like the wimp he was. And Kagome limped home; she had apparently twisted her ankle as well. The miko arrived at her house an hour later, and opened the door to discover her family had gone out to dinner, leaving her to fend for herself. She sat down on the couch completely fatigued, as she nursed herself gingerly. Her attention was somewhere else, that she didn't hear the quiet footsteps, entering the house.
"Kagome!" a voice yelled, as it took in the sight of her bleeding stomach, and purple, swollen foot. Inuyasha looked at her in an accusing way, than grabbed her gently, and began sniffing her.
His eyes narrowed dangerously, making the miko feel rather small, "You stink, you smell of that putrid hobo boy, explain, now."
Kagome looked at him with distress; she really didn't want to answer. But she really didn't have a choice either.
The only thing comforted her now was the fact that Inuyasha was still holding her, and even that wasn't much.
