Chapter I - Sensing a Spark

Kikyo pull out a chair and allow herself to sit on the almost comfy chair. Letting out a sigh, she look up to see Kagome sitting down across from her. It's early so the cafeteria is still empty. Kagome looked just as tired as she does. It's not a surprise. Both Kikyo and Kagome had the first two classes together. First day and already they have tons of homework. English and Biology is a pain to have in the morning.

"So where is everyone?" Kagome asked, looking around at the empty cafeteria.

"Don't know, I'd think Inuyasha and Kouga would be here by now," Kikyo answer back. Inuyasha and Kouga had Biology with them, the class got dismissed early. Wonder where they are... Kikyo wondered to herself, although she had the distinct feeling that the two of them are off in some part f the school, arguing about something. They always fight, mostly in their dorm room since they can't publicly fight in the presence of a teacher or fellow students.

They did not have to wait long before Sango and Miroku came and join them. Sango had hair hair up and looked slightly annoyed. Miroku seemed to be enjoying himself. Both sat down on either side of Kikyo.

"What's wrong, Sango?" Kagome look at Sango's irritated face and had a strong feeling that she already knows the answer. Things around here are so predictable.

Miroku gad been in love with Sango ever since their first year. And he doesn't try to hide his feelings for her. Sango n the other hand, doesn't seem to be interested. It has a lot to do with Miroku flirting with almost every girl that he could lay his eyes on. He had asked Sango every chance he get to go out with him, but she always refused. Saying that he "flirts" way too much with other girls. He even went out of his way and dated other girls, as an attempt to make Sango jealous. Which is slowly having an effect because Sango seemed to have "soften" around him. But Miroku's relationship with other girls don't seem to last very long. He is still very much in love with Sango. He even announce to her one day that he will marry her, no matter what it takes. Sango thought it was sweet of him but said she has dreams too. Miroku doesn't seem to realize Sango's rejection and continue to say that tomorrow is another day and he shall try again.

They started off as hating one another, well, only Sango since Miroku was head-over-heels in love with her. After years of having every single class together, they became good friends. But Miroku's old habit is still within him. He likes to grope her every chance he gets. No matter how many times he was slapped, punched, and kicked, he still does it. Sango's a very athletic person, so one can imagine how hard she hits. But Miroku seems to be very stubborn with these things.

"Ask him!" Sango pointed at Miroku, who was smiling nervously.

"Oh," Kagome said. "Hee hee, forget I ask."

"Anyone else here hungry?" Miroku broke in.

"I'm starving," Kikyo said.

"Me too," Sango put in, completely forgot the fact that she was angry at Miroku just a second before. Her hungry stmach made her forgot.

"Alright, lets go get some food!" Miroku said happily.

"Actually, I'm gonna sit here and wait,"

"But Kagome, why? Sango was already standing up.

"Well, just in case Inuyasha and Kouga show up, they'll know where to sit and besides the cafe is gonna be full soon, so I'll save us seats," Kagome explained and smile at the three.

"Okay, I guess that makes sense, we'll be back soon Kagome," Sango wave at Kagome before heading off with Kikyo and Miroku.

The three came back several minutes later, sitting at the table were the bored looking Inuyasha and Kagome, waiting patiently for them.

"Geez, are you guys that hungry? That only took like forever!"

"Nice to see you too Inuyasha," Miroku said. He put down his pizza and took a seat next to Inuyasha. Kikyo and Sango followed him and both girls sat down.

"Is there a day where you don't whine about anything at all?" Sango said jokingly and Inuyasha "Fed"-ed. "Oh, and where's Kouga? It's kinda quiet in here without you two going at it."

Inuyasha shot Sango a look, "He's off with his girlfriend."

"Ayame?"

"No duh!"

Kagome poke Inuyasha's side with her elbow. "Stop being so rude Inuyasha! Especially to me!"

"Well, its obvious, isn't it? They've been going out for how long now?"

Ayame is in the 11th grade, she and Kouga started dating since the previous year. Ayame has such a crush on Kouga that she began "stalking" him. Always seems to be where he was. Kouga was too busy chasing after Kagome that he didn't even know that he has a stalker. But after the millionth time of being rejected by Kagome, he finally take notice in Ayame. He began dating her when he realized how much she reminded him of Kagome. Knowing that he didn't want to ruin a good friendship with Kagome, he moved on and began treating Ayame right. Found out that she wasn't that bad. He enjoyed her company, and Ayame was satisfy with that. But no matter how much they seem to like one another, never a day went by when they don't get into some kind of argument. Usually lasts for about ten minutes and then it was like nothing has ever happen. It's almost been a year since the two stubborn hot-heads began dating.

Kagome sighed in defeat." Okay, I give up. Inuyasha you are impossible."

Kikyo stared at the two, was there a hint of flirtation in Kagome's voice?

"Anyway, I'm hungry. Inuyasha, lets get something to eat." Kagome stood up and without waiting for Inuyasha's reply, grab him by his arm and drag him over to the long line of students waiting to get lunch.

The line was long alright, it seems that during the time that they spent talking the line just develops and more and more peoples join in. After a super long time of waiting in line, it was finally their turn to get their food.

Kagome grab a tray and look at the selection on foods before her. There's so many choices! Inuyasha went ahead of Kagome and grab a plate of spaghetti.

"Are you going to just stand there and stare at the foods, or are you going to actually get some?" Kagome snap out of her fantasy, that Inuyasha. Always have to ruin my moment.

"I'm deciding!" she hot at him, "there's so many choices!"

"Well, there are just a few that you actually eat," Inuyasha said warily.

Kagome look thoughtful for a moment, then said, "Thats true...but half of these things I've never had before."

"So?"

"What do you mean, "so"?"

"I mean hurry up!"

Kagome turn her attention back to the variety of foods. "What's your hurry, we still have like an hour left."

"I'm hungry and I want to eat!"

For the second time within that hour, Kagome let out a sigh of defeat. Inuyasha, what a pig.

"Okay, fine then. Geez Inuyasha."

She proceed to look at the foods and finally making up her mind, her hand went for the delicious serving of lasagna, and a small side serving of salad to go with it. Picking up her tray of food, Kagome was ready to go when she spotted a strawberry cup-cake out of the corner of her eye. Remembering just how much she loved the taste of the cafeteria's cup-cake, her hand immediately dive for it. At the same time, Inuyasha's hand was reaching for the same cup-cake. It was the last one, he must have it! Both Kagome's and Inuyasha's hand made contact. Looking at who was going after the one remaining cup-cake, they turn and face one another. In a dream, they stared into each other's eyes and stayed like that until the sounds of their surrounding brought them back to reality. Kagome and Inuyasha pull back their hand and look away awkwardly.

"Thanks,"

They both turn to look at the owner of the voice. It was Kikyo. She was standing in the small space between the two of them, holding the strawberry cup-cake in her hand with a satisfy smile on her face.

"Hey! That's mine!" Inuyasha screamed at Kikyo.

"Nope. Mine now." Kikyo gave both Inuyasha and Kagome a mysterious grin. Taking bite out of the cup-cake, Kikyo walk off. Leaving the fuming Inuyasha and surprised Kagome behind.

Kikyo returned to their table. Miroku had found his place beside Sango. They seem to be talking happily to one another. And on the other side of the table, sat a certain red-head and handsome teenager.

Kouga was stuffing his face with a burger and Ayame was sipping quietly on her drink. Ayame look up when she noticed Kikyo sitting down, Kouga didn't even look up.

"Hey guys," Kikyo smile at the two, trying her hardest not to laugh at Kouga's stuffed up face.

Kouga look up at Kikyo and muttered something that Kikyo did not catch.

"He means to say hi," Ayame put in quickly, trying not to laugh herself.

Sango laugh and Kikyo join in. Miroku sees this as an opportunity to grope Sango, but finding it difficult since she was sitting down. He gave up and join in the laughter, making some jokes about Kouga.

Kagome and Inuyasha soon joined them. Kouga had managed to finish most of his burger and had open his mouth to say something to Inuyasha but Inuyasha held up his fork. As if using it for a weapon to defend himself against Kouga.

"Not now, I'm hungry right now so I'm gonna eat so don't bother me. When I'm done, I'll be glad to take you on." Inuyasha dig up some spaghetti and slurp on them loudly.

Kouga stared at Inuyasha in shock. This is new. But he shook himself off of it and continue on with his delicious burger.

"Fine with me, mutt-face."

Inuyasha slurped on his spaghetti once again, this time Sango turned to Inuyasha and shot him one of her glares. Inuyasha swallow the spaghetti in his mouth with a gulp.

"What?" he ask innocently, Kouga snorted but wasn't going to make a comment. But he was very tempted to.

"You -- "Sango was cut off by a loud beeping sound. A signal that some very important announcements are going to be made.

The cafeteria slowly quiet down. There was a moment of silence, then a voice came on the P.A. and spoke in a deep and calm voice.

"Good afternoon students," it was a woman's voice. "Once again, I'd like to welcome you all back to the Shikon no Tama Academy High School. And to all the newcomers, welcome. I'm quite sure that some of you are very much aware of what will be taken place later on this afternoon." She paused, knowing that some chattering will take place, then continue, "It is a tradition at our school to give you students a Welcome-back-to-School Dance." Once again, she paused. The noise level in the cafeteria suddenly grew, then it drop. "The dance shall be held in our Dance Room, just down the hall from the great gym. And I'm very confident that you guys will make this dance just as much exciting and fun as all the previous dances we had and not to mention the appropriate dress code! The dance will begin after lunch and you are to go to your homeroom and proceed from there. And that should be all for now, have fun!"

With another beep, the cafeteria was quiet, then it broke into a mix of noises. Peoples walking around, knives and forks clinging together, groups of peoples talking all at once. All sorts of noises. Kagome seemed to be extra excited. Kikyo allow a grin to cross her face. The dance will be perfect.
