Chapter 11- Christmas Break
Kagome sat down at her desk at school. Homeroom class was a killer. Miroku and Sango weren't in her class, but all the popular teens were. Which only stomped at her even more.
Being alone had a few advantages, she always thought up dance movements for her next show. Which was always helpful.
She sighed as the crowd of preps walked into the class, taking their seats in the back of the room. Snickering at what seemed to them as underlings as they went by.
Kagome hated this so much, the popular crowd thinking they would get away with whatever they wanted to.
"Hey Kagome," someone said her name.
Kagome looked up, it was Kouga. (Yes Kouga's in this fic, no he isn't going to screw up O.D.I, he just happens to be my fav character) She looked confused, he was in grade eleven, and she was in grade ten.
"Kouga, what are you doing here?"
"I failed English 10 exams last year, so I have to take the exams over," he said. "I have to start reviewing sometime."
"Yeah, so your in my class until exams," she repeated.
"That's right, but I think I may fail again, English has always been my worst subject," he proceeded to take his binder out.
"So what we doing?"
"Twelfth Night," Kagome replied.
"This is going to be fun," Kouga slumped back in his seat.
Kagome sat at her desk sleepy as can be. It was Christmas break and she was studying, how sad was that.
It was a lonely night; everyone was gone out and left her with Shippo and Souta, who had caught a cold having a snowball fight. Sleeping in her bed, she wanted to get some studying in.
Though by now she wasn't in the mood to study any. There was nothing for her to do. Sleep sounded good, but has to watch the boys. There fevers could become worse and she's never had known it.
The phone started to ring as eh looked up and picked it up?"
"Um...hi Kagome?" a nervous voice from the other end said.
"Yes?"
"It's Rin Itisitsen."
"Yes Rin, what is it?"
"Can you maybe help with my steps for the musical, I'm having trouble," she asked.
"Sure Rin I'd be glad too," Kagome smiled to herself.
"So you think you could help me tonight?"
"Sure come on over," Kagome replied. "Do you know where it is?"
"My brother does, thanks bye," and with that Rin hung the phone up.
"They do? What brother?"
Kagome opened the front door to the temples home. She smiled as the freshmen Rin entered. But close behind was Inu-Yasha, her smile faded.
"I have a few simple rules that I'm sure you can follow," he said simply. "No boys, no leaving without telling me or Sesshomaru first and Rin is to be ready to leave by 11:30 sharp."
"Nice to see you too," Kagome snarled.
"Inu-Yasha," Rin gave him a look.
"What?"
"I'm fourteen Inu-Yasha, please don't be so overprotective of me," she sighed. "Sesshomaru does enough of that."
"Fine, but you better be in one piece when I come to get you."
"Thank you," Rin said as he left, she then turned to Kagome. "Let go practice."
Sango listened to Kagome as she practiced her solo in the musical number 'Cell Block Tango' of the musical Chicago.
She frowned a little as Kikyo and come old friends peeked into Kagome's room, laughed a little and left.
Sango could easily see that her friend had ignored the laughter and had continued on.
"They has it coming all along," Kagome sung. "I didn't do it, but if I'd a done it, how could you tell me that I was wrong."
Kagome's solo finished and Kagome took a deep breath. She smiled, "What do you think? Needs some work before I add the dance?"
"I think you got it down."
"Maybe some more practice is needed," Kagome, pressed her hands to her throat, which was sore.
"Kagome your throat is as raw as ever," Sango told her friend. "You should see a doctor."
"I'm fine," she replied. "But how about we take a brake. Ice cream on me."
"Sango smiled, "Alright."
Kagome and Sango walked down the path of the park. It was almost Christmas, but it wasn't cold, why else would they have gotten ice cream.
"How you and Miroku doing?"
"I'd say it's pretty good," she replied. "He's a little perverted here and there, but he's been better."
"Here and there," Kagome gasped hiding a laugh.
"He's a lot better then he usually is," Sango told Kagome.
"I understand."
"How's O.D.I," Sango said.
"Well the fourth date is after my show tomorrow," Kagome sat down at a bench.
Sango sat down and put the remaining bit of her cone into her mouth and started to chew.
"Good I got a perfect dress for you," Sango smiled.
"Really? I'm sure I'll love it," Kagome smiled.
"No, Sango I can't wear this," Kagome cried.
"Why not?"
"First off, I look like a slut," Kagome pointed to her reflection in which a lot of her cleavage was popping out. "Second the front is pretty much bagging down in case you haven't noticed."
"Kagome calm down, I can fix this easily," Sango took a pin and thread from her bag. "Just give me a few minutes."
After a few minutes Kagome looked at her reflection again and smiled. The red dress now clearly was a female Santa suit. The baggy front now rested against her in a natural sate. And white fluffy fur along the low rising collar, as well as the cuffs and the short dresses ending.
"This is great," Kagome smiled. "I think this is your best yet."
"Thank you," Sango smiled. "Now come on you have a song to sing." Kagome's friend now pushed her out of the dressing room.
"There you are," Akira said. "Your up...oh nice dress."
"Thanks, see you in a few minutes," Kagome continued to be pushed by her friend.
Kagome now waited as the stage lights turned on, when they did she walked on stage.
"Hello everyone," she called into her microphone. "How's everyone? Are you all having fun?"
The crowd cheered and she smiled. "Good, because here it comes! Let's get this started!" The music blasted throughout the room.
Everybody comes to Hollywood They wanna make it in the neighborhood They like the smell of it in Hollywood How could it hurt you when it looks so good?
Stepping to the right Kagome spun as she watched the crowds of people dance to her song.
Shine your light now This time it's got to be good You get it right now, yeah Cause your in Hollywood
Dancing to her beat as she swayed to the beat of the song. Her form was perfect to the beat of the song.
There's something in the air in Hollywood The sin is shining like you know it would You're riding in your car in Hollywood How could it hurt you when it looks so good?
Sango cheered her friend on, as her friend's song quickly and easily became one of her best yet. Her voice voice and body mixed into the song. Becoming so much more.
I lost my memory in Hollywood They wanna make it in the neighborhood They like the smell of it in Hollywood How could it hurt you when it looks so good?
Sango's smiled faded as she spotted something very dangerous in the crowd. Her eyes widened.
I lost my memory in Hollywood I've had a million visions, bad and good There's something in the air in Hollywood I tried to leave it but I never could
Kagome took a deep breath as she continued to sing her song. Entertaining the crowds of people around her.
She continued
Everybody comes to Hollywood They wanna make it in Hollywood They like the smell of it in Hollywood How could it hurt you when it looks so good?
Miroku smiled as he listened to the tune he always hard on the radio. He turned for a second and turned back as his eyes widened.
Cause you're in Hollywood Cause your in Hollywood In Hollywood In Hollywood
"Hello Miroku," Kikyo smiled.
"Um...hi."
Cause your in Hollywood Cause your in Hollywood In Hollywood In Hollywood
"Do you thing you could explain something to me?"
"I guess so," Miroku smiled, but felt nervous.
Check it out This bird has flown Push the button Don't push the button Trip the station Change the channel
"Can you tell me why my dear cousin is on stage, no less singing and dancing?"
"Um...what's wrong with that?"
"Nothing, just tell me, why would she keep such an important thing like this from me," Kikyou smiled at him.
"...I don't know..."
"Kagome why did you keep this from me," Kikyo yelled at her cousin.
"I'm sorry," Kagome said as she sat on her bed. "I needed a job and I thought if I got a job doing what I did best then-"
"Kagome that changes nothing. We promised we'd never keep anything from each other."
Kagome's blood boiled as she jumped up, "You always keep thing from me, things about your love life. Everything! So I finally keep one secret and you dare get angry with me!"
Kikyo looked stunned at her cousin. Her cousin was always so quite and never told anyone off.
"That felt good," Kagome told herself.
"K-Kagome."
"Don't you Kagome me," she hissed. "As far as I'm concerned you can riot in hell." And with that Kagome turned and left the area in the club in which Kikyou was sitting.
"Milla, are you alright?"
Kagome turned and nodded, "Yes Inu-Yasha, I'm fine."
"You sure?"
"Yes, don't worry so much," Kagome smiled.
"Alright."
Continuing on Kagome slightly blushed as she found Inu-Yasha's arm around her shoulder. She freaked a bit, but tried to remain clam.
"Okay, he's being nice, just remember that," she told herself. "He's so gentle. Who would have thought."
Some cleared her throat and smiled. She couldn't help it. He acted like a completely different person around her, or Milla.
After a while, Kagome leaned into him without realizing that she couldn't push off him without him knowing something was up.
She was stuck like that.
