AN- I swear the plot will thicken a little more…but probably not in this chapter.

Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha, but I do own the generic brand called Kinupasha…yeah, with Kafoame and Pango? (Joking)

Chapter 4- The Day After the Day After

--RING--

Kagome slammed the sleep button down. It was Sunday; no way was she waking up at 6:30. Everything that happened Friday and Saturday was over. No need to make a big deal of it. Except she couldn't stop thinking of Inuyasha. Sango told her to just forget about everything, but the more she tried not thinking about it the more she remembered. Now that she thought of it, Inuyasha did look really cute when he was embarrassed. WAIT…NO…she was NOT going to entertain that thought for another second. He wasn't up to her standards; it'd look weird for one of the most popular girls to be going out with an ornery unknown. They may have been friends as kids, but that was… what Twelve years ago?

----

--RING--

Inuyasha punched the sleep button down. There was no school; no way was he waking up at 6:30. 'God I hate that bitch.' What the hell was she doing anyway? The way she runs around with her stupid fluffy black hair, stupid deep eyes, dumb short skirt, and amazing smile…it's too early. Besides she totally didn't meet his standards…if he had standards…but if he did she would TOTALLY not meet them. Now that he thought of it, she was a bitch ever since she was little.

----

"Inuyasha, you're going to have a new neighbor. Maybe you'll meet a new friend. From what the realtor said they have a little girl about your age."

"I don't want a new neighbor! I want my old neighbors!"

But his tears vanished quickly as he saw a familiar girl step out of an old car.

"You're back! You're back! You didn't leave after all!!"

The girl gave him an amused confused look. But resisted fiercely as he tried to hug her.

"You're weird, you do that again I'll kick you 'kay?"

Inuyasha froze as he looked more carefully at whom he just embraced.

"Oh, it's not you."

"Don't sound so disappointed. I don't know who you were expecting but my name is Kagome and it's not like I want to be here either. I had to leave my whole other life for this dump."

"Whatever." He walked back to his mother shoulders sagging.

"Hey! Just because I'm not somebody you'd typically hug doesn't mean we can't be friends!"

"Yes it does."

"You're impossible."

----

--ding-dong--

"My mom is making me bring these cookies to you so you can feel welcome in your new neighborhood, but if it were up to me I wouldn't give you anything."

Kagome looked at the half-eaten plate of cookies and giggled.

"Let's play tag."

"Why?"

"Because if you don't I'll tell your mom that you ate all our cookies."

"Do you think of some kind of wimp who's afraid of his mother?"

"Fine." Kagome started walking out.

"Wait, wait! Let's not be too hasty. Tag sounds good."

"I thought it would."

----

"Hey there big boy?!!" Sango was being a total hypocrite. They were suppose to be studying for finals, but every six minutes Sango brought it up and couldn't stop laughing.

"Oh come on Sango! I plead temporary insanity."

"Who is Inuyasha anyway? I remember seeing him around a little."

"No one, one of Miroku's friends I guess. He lives next door I kinda use to kno—"

"He lives next door?!!!"

"Uh…yeah"

"Oh my gaw! We should to go over there now."

"What? No!"

"It'll be funny!!"

"For you! I'll just look like and idiot, that'll be the second time this week."

"Oh come on! We'll just ring the doorbell. Remember when we did that all the time in sixth grade?"

"No, it's stupid! We did it in sixth grade for a reason."

"It'll be fun; we need a study break anyway."

"Yeah, cause you've been studying so hard."

"After we do this, then I'll definitely definitely stay on task."

Kagome stared hardly at the ceiling.

"Fine."

"Thankyouthankyouthankyou."

"But we're just ringing the doorbell and running out and THAT'S IT."

"Of course."

----

"That was a dumb movie Shippo, next time I get to choose."

"Like I'm ever going to go to a movie with you again. You ruined the movie for everyone! Always complaining. Everyone was giving me dirty looks."

"The plot was totally predictable, it totally butchered the book."

"Next time we're going bowling."

"Like I don't have better things to do besides hanging out with a frosh."

"Apparently not."

Inuyasha paused. He was almost to his house, but he heard somebody nearby, not doing a very good job keeping quiet.

"What's wrong?"

"Let's stay back here for a while."

He pulled Shippo and him behind the fence. Almost immediately two girls came out one suppressing furious giggles the other looking worried but slightly amused.

----

Maybe Sango's idea wasn't too bad. This was turning out to be pretty fun. To be young again. For a while they argued who'd ring the doorbell, but Kagome finally pushed the button. Then they ran off giggling--

----

Did they just see what they thought they saw? It was just too much. Inuyasha and Shippo burst out laughing. Totally blowing their cover. They couldn't stop, seventeen-year-old girls ding-dong ditching?!!!

Sango and Kagome froze as they saw the two boys in fits of laughter. This time Sango got to share the embarrassment. Kagome groaned loudly. This was getting old. She had to confront this now. Dragging Sango toward the fence, Kagome was determined to settle everything.

Finally done laughing, Shippo and Inuyasha looked up at the two girls. And what do they do? Start up again.

Finally Shippo stopped out of politeness, the girls started to look really pissed off. This settled Inuyasha down.

"So…" Kagome didn't exactly have a plan on how to fix this.

"Did you need anything?"

This made Kagome very red in the cheeks, but her embarrassment quickly turned into anger.

"So shoot us if we were tired from studying and needed a break! You guys are just immature jerks!"

Man, did she know how to turn the tables.

"We're the immature ones?"

Or not.

"At least we can control ourselves. You guys are losers, let's go Sango."

They started walking back.

Inuyasha mumbled, "Yeah because infiltrating child pranks shows so much control."

Kagome whipped around, her face so fierce that both Inuyasha and Shippo crouched against the fence.

"What was that?"

"Nothing."

Kagome and Sango finally made it to Kagome's house, leaving Inuyasha and Shippo alone.

"Well it was funny."

"Shut up."

----

They shut the door to Kagome's room.

"Great idea Sango"

"We use to be so good at it; I guess we got rusty."

"I guess it's not so bad, but I'm in no mood to study now."

"Yeah, me too."

"Don't get anymore ideas."
