sorry for the long wait, but hey, i'm back with a longer chapter.

Love, Hate, and Competition chapter4

Higurashi house- 9:20 a.m.

"Kagome. Kagome."

If she didn't know better she would have thought that some one was calling her name. She opened her eyes to see Sango standing over her. Shocked to see her, Kagome did the only thing any person would do. She punched her.

"Damnit Kagome! What you do that for." Sango yelled as she clutched her nose.

Kagome heard laughs and lifted her head off her pillow to see Rin and Kayori laughing as Sango ran to the mirror.

"You better be glad nothings broken." She said looking at Kagome through the mirror.

"Ahh Sango don't be like that. It was entirely your fault. You should have never woken me up like that." Kagome said looking at her clock seeing It was only 9:30.

"Why are ya'll waking me so early, and on a Saturday?" she asked stretching

"We wanted to go to the mall today, so we came to get you." Rin said after catching her breath.

"Your mother let us in saying we could wake you." Kayori said while checking Sango's nose.

"And look how that turned out." Rin said laughing all over again.

"Well then let me get dressed and I'll meet ya'll down stairs." Kagome said getting out of bed and heading to her bathroom.

20 minutes later-

"okay lets go." kagome said coming downstairs. "bye mom" she said walking out the door. "where are the others?" she asked as they walked to the bus stop.

"their gonna meet us there." Sango said walking up to her.

"Oh okay." she said just as the bus pulled up.

They got on the bus went to the back and sat in down. There wasn't a lot of people on the bus since it was early. In front of them was a lady and her daughter who was facing them and popping gum, loudly.

Pop. Pop. Pop.

"Can you stop that?" Kayori asked annoyed at the popping girl. The girl just looked at her and-

pop.

Kayori tried to fight back a growl. Just as the girl blew her next bubble, kayori whipped out a needle and popped the girls bubble.(ha ha. Get it. ha. Anyway) before the girl knew what happened the gum was in her hair and stuck on her face. She turned to her mother crying.

Kayori sat back and looked at her friends faces.

"What? Can I help it if she was annoying me" she said

they broke out laughing. The rest of the ride was uneventful as they watched the passing people.

The bus arrived 30 minutes later at the mall. They got off and walked in.

"Now where did they said they were gonna meet us at?" Kagome asked.

"I don't kn-"

rock we don't stop it everybody get on the floor.

"Hello?" Sango said answering her phone

"Where are you guys?"

"In the center of the mall looking for ya'll."

"We're in the food court."

"Okay we'll be there in 3." Sango hung up and they headed to the court.

When they reached the food court they saw a table where 5 girls sat talking.

"Are you enjoying yourselves? Kagome asked walking up to their table and sitting down.

"Kagome!"

"Where you been Kag?"

"It's nice to see you."

"Yeah its been awhile."

"Hey guys." kagome said smiling at the rest of her friends. She hasn't seen them in almost four months.

'They all look so different.' she thought.

There was Stephanie who was 17 and 5foot 4. She had fiery red hair with two white strips of hair in the front and had green eyes.

Then there was Angel, she was 16 and about 5'5. She had black hair with blue highlights that stopped just below her shoulder blades with grey-blue eyes

Ayla was 17, 5'5 with sun gold hair that went to her knees and crystal blue/silver eyes.

Hisaki was 17, about 5'6. She had black hair with red highlights that stopped at her knees.

And last but not least was Kazumi who just turned 17, she was 5' even, with black hair with whitish blue highlights that went to her waist. She had these intense midnight blue eyes that mad it seem as if she was looking into your soul.

The only reason kagome hasn't seen them was because they went to different schools. Hisaki and Angel went to Fremont high, Stephanie went to lemar high, and kazumi went to yellow brook high with ayla.

So they could never really see each other because of that, but they try to hang out once In a while.

"So what do ya'll want to do first?" rin asked picking up a fry from Hisaki's plate.

"Hey!"

"Lets shop then go to the movies." Ayla said

"Okay."

They finished eating and went to the first store they saw.

"I need some new pants." Angel said holding up a pair of black pants with red lining.

"Those are nice. I think you should get 'em." said Kayori.

After four hours at the mall they all had six bags each, full of clothes and shoes. They put their stuff in the malls lockers and went to the movies to see 'unleashed'. Three hours later they walked through the Higurashi household.

"I'm home mom."

"Welcome back dear." her mother called from the kitchen.

"Ya'll can put your stuff in the room." kagome said walking into the kitchen to see her mother talking to a man she's never seen.

"Um, kagome this is Tomo. Tomo this is Kagome." Mrs. H said

"Hi." tomo said holding his hand out. Kagome looked at him then his hand and back to him.

"Hey Mrs. H." angel said as she and the rest came into the kitchen.

"Oh girls how nice to see all of you. Oh my how have you grown. Now let me see if I can remember. Uhh your Hisaki." when she got a nod of approval she continued on. "Your Stephanie, Angel, Kazumi, and your Ayla. This is wonderful. Are ya'll staying for the weekend?"

"Yeah, we haven't seen them in a while so we thought, why not." Kazumi answered.

"Well that's nice. Dinner will be ready in 10 minutes, so go get ready. Kagome will you get your brother." she said and went back to talking with Tomo.

"Souta. Souta."

"Uh?" he answered playing his game.

"Mom said get ready for dinner-."she looked at his eyes and took his head in her hands

"Have you been going to sleep at night?" she asked him

"No time for sleep. Have to finish game." he said still playing. Kagome looked at him feeling worried.

"Okay, give me this."she said taking the controller from him.

"Nooo I have to finish the game." he said

downstairs-

"Now gather a round everyone. Everyone this is tomo, tomo this is everyone and as soon as kagome and souta get down here we can ea-."

"Nooo I have to finish the game."

they heard Souta's muffled voice

"Damnit Souta, turn the damn thing off."

"Noooooooo!"

They heard thumps and grunts and then silence

"Maybe they killed each other." kayori said

they heard feet coming down the stairs. They saw kagome with a crestfallen souta behind her.

"Sorry we're late." kagome said sitting in her seat. Souta sitting beside her quietly.

"Lets eat shall we?" Mrs. H said placing the last plate of food down.

Dinner was quiet except for the bits of chatter from the girls. After dinner Mrs. H walked Tomo outside.

"You coming kagome." Sango asked. They we're heading up to the room

"I'll be there in a minute." she said watching them go up the steps before sneaking to the front door to hear her mothers' conversation.

"When are you going to tell her?" she heard Tomo ask.

"When the time is right." Mrs. H said

"What! He is coming in less than a year and you say 'when the time is right'. If she doesn't get trained now, when He comes He'll kill her." Tomo said

"I know. Genkai was suppose to train her and now that she's dead there's no one I trust to train her." Mrs. H said

tomo looked at her. He sighed and drew her into a hug.

"Give me four months and I'll train her." he said brushing her hair down.

"Mrs. H looked up at him. "thank you Tomo." she whispered

kagome snuck back inside and up to her room. Walking in she saw the girls watching a movie.

"What ya' watching?"

"Dodge Ball." answered Sango

"Oh." kagome said laying on her bed. She laid there watching the movie but not really listening for she was thinking about the conversation her mother had with tomo.

'What man were they talking about and were deciding to train me?'

"Night kag."

"Night." she said laying back on the bed they were all sleeping on. It was big enough to fit 10 people so it was more than enough room.

'I wonder what's going on.' she thought closing her eyes.
