Two Sides of a Oneway Mirror

Chapter 4

----------------

Everyone was outside sitting on the grass under a huge tree. Lots of shade.

"-and then the monkey says…" Ketsuki was in the middle of telling of joke.

Suddenly, in the corner of her eye, she saw someone walk by. He looked a little sneaky. She turned around to get full view of the boy, but he was far away, so she had to squint. Wait! No, it couldn't be! That was Souta!

Kagome quickly stood up, brushing the grass from her pants. She was just about to run after her little brother when Inuyasha quirked his eyebrow at her. Ayame seemed to notice after Kagome had stood up so abruptly and looked in the direction Kagome seemed like she was going to be heading. And she saw Souta too.

"Um…me and Ayame here need to go do something important." Kagome said waving her hand lightly at her friend.

"Whatever." Inuyasha muttered.

Kagome and Ayame both rushed off in the direction Souta had been heading.

When they were far enough from the tree. Ayame stopped. "Where is he?"

"I'm not sure. But we both saw him running this way."

Inuyasha squinted. What was the new kid and his friend doing? They looked like they were looking for something.

Kagome turned, "Ayame! There he is!"

Ayame turned around to see Souta turning the corner.

"Let's go."

The two hurried quickly after the boy. They saw him standing on the corner opening up one of those brown paper bags. One guess to what it was. Drugs.

"Souta!!!!!!!!!!"

The boy looked up from the corner he was standing at. "Kagome? What are you doing here?"

"Mama sent me to look after you…made sure you stay out of trouble, you know."

"Mom should stay out of my problems! She doesn't understand, she's sticking her nose where it doesn't belong! She's such a bitch!"

------------------

(Kag's POV)

Oh. My. God. I did not just hear that come out of my little brother's mouth. He's too young to be using those. He's only nine for god's sakes! And suddenly…it's like I can't control myself.

I'm angry. Souta had no right to go and call mom a bitch. That little brute.

My hand comes up as if mechanically and slaps him hard across the face. My eyes widen in realization as I realize I've just struck my only little brother. But I'm angry now, and I push aside my guilty thoughts as I continue, "You have no right to call Mama that! How could you Souta?! I thought you were better than that. It's all those stupid drugs fault, they're messing with your mind! Hand them over!"

I hold out my hand demanding to be given the paper bag.

Souta hugs it to him like it's a precious toy. "No! You'll take it for yourself! I won't give it to you! You and your bitchy friend over there will use it for yourselves!"

I swallow my feelings. I don't want to hit him again. Obviously, Ayame thinks differently. She is pissed at being called the "bitchy friend"

I don't want a fight, so when Souta's guard is down, I snatch the paper bag from him and storm off, pulling Ayame along behind me.

---------------

(Regular POV)

Ayame was strung along to her friend's vicious pull. "I can't believe your brother just called me your bitchy friend!!"

"Ayame, I don't wanna talk about it right now. Let's just find a place to dispose of this." Kagome held the bag out.

"Mr. Higurashi. What is it you have there?" Headmistress Kaede asked, seeming to pop out of no where.

Kagome looked at the bag in her hand and back to Headmistress Kaede. 'Think Kagome, think! Make up some good lie!!!'

"Uh…it's my lunch. Why do you ask, Headmistress Kaede?"

The elderly woman shook her head, "Oh, nothing, for a second there, I thought there might be drugs in there." She laughed.

Kagome and Ayame looked at each other and laughed nervously too.

The headmistress walked off.

"Phew! For a second there, I thought we'd get caught."

"Well…where're we gonna put this?"

"Umm…let's just throw it in the dumpster."

"Ok…"

Kagome and Ayame looked around till they spotted a huge green dumpster. It was 8 feet tall…and unfortunately, neither of the girls could reach the top. So…being the oh so smart girls they were, they threw the bag trying to get it over the rim.

But, right before the baggy landed in the dumpster, a bunch of white drug powder rained on both of them. Their eyes widened and they ran. Too bad some of it still got on them. Crap. At least it wasn't in their mouths.

-------------

Inuyasha sat underneath the tree with everyone. Seemed like lunch still hadn't ended. It was now Niiga's turn to tell a joke or a story. So everyone gathered around the albino to hear what he had to say. The only other person who wasn't listening was Sango. She seemed to be looking for Ayame.

"Um…Inuyasha, have you seen Ayame-chan and Kagome-kun anywhere? I could swear they were right here with us before…"

"Yeah, they headed off somewhere. Seemed like they were looking for something. Although they DID look really suspicious just running around like that." He said, golden eyes looking around.

"Oh, wait! There they are!"

"What were you guys doing?" Sango asked. Now that she thought of it…they DID look suspicious.

Kagome and Ayame panted. "Uh…….nothing."

Miroku looked over, "Sango, Sango, Sango. Those two obviously don't wanna talk about it. They were probably doing something inappropriate. Perhaps the two were lovers back in America?"

Kagome could visibly see Ayame shuddering.

"Miroku! It's not like that!"

"That is gross! I don't appeal to him!" Ayame said.

"What the heck is that supposed to mean?! I happen to be very attractive."

Inuyasha snorted. "Maybe you'd make a half-decent girl. But you look like such a momma's boy if you're a guy. Maybe you should get a sex change or something."

Kagome looked offended. Ayame was giggling like mad. And well, the others all just looked at them in confusion.

Ayame could be heard whispering, "Hey, at least he thinks you're half-decent for a girl!" She giggled some more.

No one seemed to be paying attention to this matter except for Sango. 'What does that mean? It's so strange how open Ayame is to Kagome. Girl's aren't just open like that in front of everyone…they either have to be seriously in love or Kagome has to be homosexual…'

----------

"Buh bye ladies! Come again sometime!" Miroku said waving at the girls.

Lunch was over and the girls had to be heading back to Hiraikotsu Winds.

And Kagome should be heading to Japanese Arts. She was dreading it…she wasn't all that good at painting or drawing for the matter, if you get my drift.

-------------

Turns out painting was horrible. She knocked over a bunch of paints and they screwed up everyone's pictures.

At least she hadn't gotten into any trouble…

Now it was Biology. She was good at that. She was top in class back at her old high school.

"Does anyone know what an organelle is?...Ah! Higurashi-san"

"It's the internal structure of a cell."

"Anyone know how many electrons the second energy level has? Higurashi-san!"

"Eight"

"What is the atomic number of Hydrogen? Inuyasha?"

"Uh…………four?"

Kagome didn't know Inuyasha was in her class! How could she be so stupid not to look around the classroom first?

"Higurashi-san, would you like to help him out?"

"Umm…the atomic number of Hydrogen is one…"

"Very good. Inuyasha! I'm afraid if you don't pay attention in this class, I will have to speak to your English four teacher about demoting you to English Three."

"WHAT?! What does English have to do with biology?!"

"Well, the scientific names in biology are written in Latin, which means they're spelled out with ENGLISH letters. You, my dear sir, must know how to read them. In fact, I shall be having a meeting with your English right after class. Your grade in this class is suffering, and if you want to stay on the sports' teams, you'll have to maintain your grade!"

What? She couldn't be doing this to him! English was the only freakin' subject he was good at! She couldn't demote him!

"Class dismissed."

After class, Kagome came up to Inuyasha. "Hey, Inu, my man, I'm sorry about your demotion."

"Shut up Higurashi!"

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, family problems. It's messing up my school life." Inuyasha grunted.

'What the heck possessed me to say that to him?! Not even my closest friends know about my family problems. Maybe because Kagome seems like such a gentle spirit? Like he'd understand, maybe? He isn't like the other guys, that's for sure. He doesn't swing his ego and talents around like all other guys do. Wait! What the heck am I thinking. Those girls are starting to make you to sappy thinking! Gentle spirit?? Where'd that come from? But, I know for thing. Kagome Higurashi is different, I just find out in what way…'

Hmm…maybe they could be good friends after all.
