Two Sides of a Oneway Mirror

Chapter 5
"Oh, Higurashi, we're all gonna go to the Sugar Bowl (AN:…hehe…couldn't think of something better, besides, I just watched Arthur on video!) You can come if you want." Inuyasha said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Oh…um, who's going."
"The guys…….and Sango, Ayame, Kikyo…and some of their friends…"
"I thought those three were friends."
"Well, Ayame and Sango are, but I think Kikyo only hangs out with them cause…they're all roommates or something like that."
"Well, doesn't she have her own friends?"
"I don't think so."
"Why not?"
"I dunno…heard she was pretty shy, like………….she doesn't talk, so how do you make friends if you don't talk?"
"I guess you have a point……."
"Course I do"
"Well, I'll think about it, but I have to get to Algebra II…blah, I hate math."
Inuyasha chuckled. "It's ok…I think I have an A in the class…"
"Really? Back home, I had a C! God……..I feel low….Oh, look, whaddya know? Here I am…gee…I feel like I'm entering the depression."
"Later"
'Oh god……….Algebra II is HORROR!'
"Hey Kags!" Miroku's voice called as she was opening the door to their room.
"Oh, hi, Miroku."
"Are you coming?"
"……….huh?"
"Are you coming to the Sugar Bowl?"
"Oh…I totally forgot!"
"Oh, come on Higurashi! We're going to go pick up some ice cream, and then we're heading over to Kouga's to watch a movie! It'll be fun!"
"uh……….what about my homework?"
"Aww, come on! You can not do a day's worth, the teacher's will understand!"
"Ummm…"
"I mean, since you're new, they'll expect it'll take a while to adjust to Japanese…cause you're from America and all…"
"Well, I can't really not do English or Algebra II."
"oh jeez! Just let it go for a while will you!"
"Oh fine." Kagome said, sighing.
The group sat around a circle table. Ayame had just finished getting her scoop of ice cream when she plunked down next to Kagome, licking her cone happily.
"gee, I'm glad you're loving this."
"Duhhh."
"What movie are we watching?" Kagome asked.
"The only movie that Kouga owns…the Ring…"
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh……what's that? It doesn't SOUND very interesting….."
"You'll see, Kagome."
"Taadaa!" Kouga said, pushing open the door to his dorm.
"Don't you share rooms?" Ayame asked.
"Nahh…I told the school board that I already had a guy sharing my dorm…….fortunately, no one's found out about it yet…….But anyways, welcome to my abode!"
"It's so………er…tidy!" Kagome said, eyes opening. Gee…the philosophy of girls being neater than guys just flew out the window.
"Ok…everyone, cram onto the couch!"
Everyone immediately squished together on the couch, which felt really weird, since some people ended up sitting on other people. The couch didn't fit everyone. So…Inuyasha had ended up on one end, Kagome's leg laying slightly over his and the other one dipping into the space between Ayame and her. Ayame sat slouching low right next to Sango, who in turn, was squished up REALLY close to Miroku (who in fact, was grinning like an idiot), and Miroku sat next to Ketsuki, crammed up right next to Kouga, with Kikyo somehow half in Kouga and half in Niiga's lap.
Kikyo's face flushed immediately. She was, er, how would we put this? Shy about touching members of the opposite sex.
Inuyasha grumbled in annoyance, "Why don't some of us just sit on the floor?"
"Well…do we have any volunteers?" Kouga asked. No one seemed to give up their position on a nice comfy couch for the hard carpeted floor.
Sango thought about it for a while, and decided sitting on the floor was better than sitting with a pervert. Kikyo immediately jumped off of Kouga and Niiga…and of course, knowing Miroku…he decided to sit down on the ground with Sango…
Ketsuki decided to sit on the floor as well after deciding that hard floor was better than crammed space. So…..the seating was like this:
On the couch, from right to left was Inuyasha, Kagome, Ayame, Kouga, and Niiga. On the floor, from right to left was Sango, Miroku, Kikyo, and Ketsuki.
Kagome fidgeted a little, then asked, "Sooo….uh……anyone gonna put in the movie?"
"Not yet, we're waiting for the girls to ya know, do there whole steeling-up-for-the-horror-movie thing to finish." Niiga said.
"Yeah…you know how GIRLS are, can't stand a horror film." Inuyasha added.
"Wait…..this is a horror movie?"
"Uh……………….yeah, didn't you know?"
"Um, sure, I did, I was just acting stupid." Kagome laughed nervously. Then she turned to Ayame, "Why didn't you tell me! You know how that type of stuff freaks me out! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!"
"Well, I didn't want to leave, I have to have SOMEONE to call to tell them of all my irrational fears…" Ayame whispered.
"You wanted someone to call to tell them of YOUR irrational fears when I have the exact same ones?"
Ayame giggled. "I know it's silly, but maybe we could sleepover…if ya know what I mean…"
Inuyasha, unfortunately, decided to eavesdrop right at the moment, so…well, you know what he was assuming. He grimaced. Seemed like Kagome and Ayame WERE more than 'just friends' as Miroku had assumed. They seemed really into each other…they must've been together for a while if they had known each other back in school in America. Damn, why didn't he ever have a steady girlfriend? Not that he wanted one, of course…
He heard Sango and Kikyo let out a breath. "Ok, we're ready."
"Ayame? Are you ready?" Kouga asked.
"Of course."
Kouga popped the DVD in the DVD player, and a selection screen popped up. In the background, there was this black and white picture of an empty wooden chair.
'Oookkk...this is weird, a chair? Is that supposed to scare me? Maybe I should watch horror movies more often, they don't seem half bad.' Kagome mused to herself.
Kouga pushed play, and the movie started.
(AN: Ok…..I really don't remember the movie, so……just bear with me alright?)
There were two girls, sitting, watching TV. They flipped through the channels, to find nothing good. The girls started talking about some video tape, and how they'd accidentally watched the tape instead of the one they were supposed to. One of the girls started talking.
"I heard about this video tape that kills you when you watch it. You start to play it, and it's like somebody's nightmare. And as soon as it's over…your phone rings…and what they say is, you will die in seven days…."
(AN: God…that was the actual dialogue…gee, now I'm creeped out…..)
Right afterwards, the second girl started choking, and the first one panicked.
"Just kidding"
The two girls laughed. Then the phone rang…they both looked at the phone, when they picked it up…
"It's for you." The first girl said.
The second girl held her breath. "Hello…?...oh…mom."
And the movie went on. When Noah went into Rachel's house, Kagome just realized that all the buildings and things were shaded into an eerie blue-gray color. She shivered. It wasn't all THAT scary, except for when they found the girl in the closet. That really scared her.
The end of the movie was nearing, and Rachel had fallen into the well. Kagome let out a breath, maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all…
"It's okay, I put her to rest"
"What? You helped her?" the child asked.
"What's wrong?"
"You weren't supposed to help her...she never sleeps."
"Yay! A happy ending!" Kagome said, stretching.
"Shut up, it's not even over yet!"
"Well, it's close!" Kagome argued.
"Nooo…it's not." Inuyasha cut in.
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, just shut up and watch!"
"Fine…"
Ayame was holding onto Kagome like a lifeline! Guess she did get scared easier than Kagome did…
A few minutes passed. Rachel had lived past the seventh day…and all was well, to Kagome at least.
The scene changed to Noah's apartment. The TV suddenly turned on and wild static started hissing on the screen. Noah looked up at the TV strangely but turned it off. When he turned around, the TV turned on again.
Kagome gasped. Holy shit! Wasn't this supposed to be over!
The screen changed to a black and white background of the well, someone in a white dress crawled out from the edge. It was Samara. Slowly, she crawled out of the TV, first her hands, cut and bloody, reached out, then her sullied dress, and finally her feet, dripping wet from the well's water. She walked slowly to Noah, and you could see her face, her hair hanging in front of it.
(AN: and…..i'm not describing anymore, cuz everyone knows what happened right?)
Kagome shook. She clung onto the person nearest her and buried her head from seeing everything. Ayame clung to Kagome, burying her own face behind Kagome's arm.
Then Noah's face appeared, and chaos ensued. Kagome and all the girls shrieked loudly, scared out of their wits.
The movie ended soon after that. With the boy recording a copy of the tape…and all that jazz.
"Uh…….u-um, Kagome, could you let go of my arm?" Inuyasha asked, quite uncomfortable by being grabbed so suddenly (even if it WAS only on the arm) by a 'guy'.
Kagome blushed. "Uh…yeah, sorry about that." She saw that her hands had made a really big red mark on his arm.
Inuyasha didn't say anything. It was too awkward.
Ayame shook, her face pale. "Kagome…that was sooo scary! I-I don't think I can go to bed!"
"Well, you have Sango and Kikyo with you…"
"Yeah, hope they're as scared as I was…" the red-head laughed nervously.
"Kouga…I really don't know how you can sleep in a dorm by yourself, owning that…that, movie as your only movie!" Kagome said.
"Yeah…isn't it great!"
"Seven days." Miroku said, quoting the movie.
"Before you die, you see the ring." Kouga whispered.
"Everyone will suffer…"
"Did she show you the horses?"
Kagome shuddered. God……..how was she going to live with this? Maybe she didn't have to, maybe she'd die in seven days…
Miroku and Kagome said bye to the gang and headed back for the dorms.
"Hey, uh, Kagome?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you gay? Because it looked like you had a death grip on Inuyasha there. And I also know how well you and Ayame get along"
"Ugh, don't remind me! It was just a big mistake. I got scared…I'm just afraid of horror films, ok!" Kagome snapped.
"Ok, ok! No need to get defensive!"
"You have someone question your sexuality!" Kagome huffed.
AN: Yeah……..there ya go……….it was a really weird chapter, but I haven't updated in a while…
