Hello! Sorry, didn't update for so long! For that I apologize. I'm updating today because one of my friends asked me to update as a birthday present to myself and so I did. My birthday is on the 28 of February! Happy Birthday To Me! Lol! I also took so long to update because I was reading other people's fanfictions and I wanted to improve my writing (typing) skills. So, did I improve? Remember read & review (R&R) Ok, enjoy the story………………………..
Summary: Inuyasha was dared to pretend to have a crush on Kagome Higurashi for a month. A month later, Kagome finds out about the dare. Will she still like Inuyasha or will she be heartbroken? Did Inuyasha like her or was it all an act?
All An Act?
Chapter 6: Winner
Day 9
The next day, Kagome's alarm clock rang loudly, "BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP" and guess what Kagome did? She hit the snooze button rather loudly and fell back to sleep thinking about her cat Buyo (sp?) becoming a fat cat and I mean fat, because he ate all of her oh so wonderful oden. Of course, in her dream she was chasing Buyo and making him spit it back out, (sure am letting my imagination run wild, really wild!) and that was pretty much all she was dreaming of.
About 5 minutes later, Kagome's mother came up to wake her up.
"Kagome dear, time for school."
Kagome just slept on like no one was talking to her and shaking her by the shoulders trying to wake her up. Nope, just kept sleeping on. Oblivious to the outside world.
Mrs. Higurashi, now very tired, decided to give up on physical contact to wake her daughter up but instead decided to use the dirtiest trick in the bag. She went to Souta's (sp?) room and got a plastic spider used for Halloween decorations. She then went back to Kagome's room and placed the spider on her daughter's face and screamed, might I add very loudly, "SPIDER!"
Kagome shot up out of bed like a rocket and began to frantically slap at her body for places the spider might be. (I hate spiders! They're creepy!) After 5 minutes of slapping, screaming and jumping, she finally realized that it was a plastic one and looked up just in time to see her mother, her own mother, slink down the stairs.
About 20 minutes later, Kagome was finally ready for school, she came down the stairs wearing blue jeans and a black hoodie that was too big for her. (Don't feel very descriptive) She ate her breakfast and then got her books and backpack and other school necessities ready. Then she went outside to wait at the shrine steps. No sooner has she closed the front door then Inuyasha appeared.
"Good morning Inuyasha-kun." greeted Kagome. Inuyasha just grunted a reply.
They started to walk towards the direction of the school in complete silence. About halfway there, they met Kikyo, who was talking, more like ordering, her groupies around. They tried to sneak pass her but right then, Kikyo turned around.
"Oh! Inu-chan! Did you come to see me? Have you decided to dump the loser yet and hang out with me, the best of the best?" (talk about self confidence!)
Inuyasha, who was nervous about the play and what role he got, was not in the mood to talk or even look at Kikyo. (srry, Kikyo-luvers)
"I don't have time to talk to a slut like you! I have to get to school, and it's really to hard to if I get stopped by every little person on the road there. Do you understand! I'm very pissed right now and I don't want anyone especially you to bug me and make even pissed. One more thing, my name is not Inu-chan! It's Inuyasha but I would simply love it if you didn't call either one of those names or talk to me at all!" Inuyasha said without pausing to take a breath anywhere in the sentence. (Whoa! He's good!)
Picture this: a big Inuyasha with flames of fury behind him is yelling at a chibi Kikyo who is sitting on the floor scared and crying because Inuyasha's face is one of pure anger right now. Now you will know how it looks during this conversation.
Without another word, Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand and started to walk to school, or continue on their way to school.
Using his demon (half-demon) powers, he ran to school in 30 seconds flat. Since he knew Kagome would get hurt trying to run at that speed he let her ride on his back until they reached the school parking lot. They waited for about a minute , then their friends started showing up. Rin and Sango got there first, then Miroku. Kouga and Ayame carpooled, and last but not least, Sesshomaru got there.
There the friends had small talk, talking about the dance, boys, shopping, girls, the new television show, etc. When suddenly a light bulb lit above Rin's head.
"Don't we get to know the roles we got in the play today?" she inquired.
Everyone started at her, then started running to the bulletin board right outside of the auditorium. Everyone besides Sesshomaru of course, who took his time getting there because he didn't really care if he got any parts or not.
On the paper listing the roles it said…………………..
THE END OF THE CHAPTER!
(Just Kidding D)
The Roles Of Romeo and Juliet
Juliet -------- Kagome
Romeo --------- Inuyasha
Paris -------- Kouga
Friar Lawrence ------- Huso
Montague ------- Sesshomaru
Lady Montague ------- Rin
Capulet ------ Naraku
Lady Capulet -------- Kikyo
Benvolio -----Miroku
Nurse -------- Sango
Tybalt -------- Hojo
Mercutio -------- Nowabunga
"I got Juliet!" Kagome screamed. "I beat Kikyo! I beat Kikyo! I beat Kikyo! I beat Kikyo! I beat Kikyo! I beat Kikyo! I beat Kikyo! I beat Kikyo! I beat Kikyo! I beat Kikyo! I'm so happy!"
"Well, looks like I'm going to the dance with you, Kagome." Inuyasha said cockily, "I got the part of Romeo, I'm better the that mangy wolf, cause I beat him!"
"Hey, Kikyo got the part of Lady Capulet and she's married to Naraku who plays the part of Capulet." Miroku said while looking at the list.
"Serves her right. Did you guys ever notice that Kikyo looks so much like Kagome. Its down right scary!" Ayame suggested.
"You should rephrase that. You should have said it as: Kagome looks like Kikyo, who is the real original." said a sinister voice behind them.
The group turned around and found that it was just Kikyo talking in the third person. (whoa! scary! lol)
Her groupies then said "Yeah, Kikyo's the original!
"Do any of you girls have a mind of your own? Or do you share one with Kikyo's already puny one?" asked Kouga ,who was already ticked off because he doesn't get to go to the dance with Kagome and none the least he was beaten by Inuyasha.
This shut them all up and they looked if about ready to cry but no one really cared which made them want to cry even more.
Kikyo walked up to the list and found out that she didn't get the much wanted part of Juliet. She was in utter shock.
'What! She got the part! I didn't! I must speak with our kind, old drama teacher personally after school today…' Kikyo thought wickedly.
"As promised, I will give up on Inuyasha." Kikyo said dejectedly (is that even a word?) through clenched teeth. She then pretended to cry for about five seconds then announced to the entire world.
"Now I'll burn with a new passion for my Inu-chan!" she pledged.
Everyone just stood around there for like five minutes with sweat drops on their heads, except for Inuyasha, who was in a state of pure shock. Inuyasha glared at everyone else's face as if daring them to laugh. It was so quiet that you could hear an ant crawl up Kikyo's skirt. Which did happen. Of course, Kikyo was the first to break the silence.
"AHHH! There's an ant on me! Help! It might bite me! I'm too young and beautiful to die!" Kikyo screamed at the top of her lungs, which was really loud. Everyone was laughing there heads off, except for the groupies, they were snickering and trying to hold in their giggles.
While all this happened, the ant had already crawled down her leg and was on its way back to its anthill to report to its queen about how very weird human behavior is. (humans r weird P)
When Kikyo finally realized that, she was blushing as red as the planet Mars. She turned around and began to walk away. About ten feet away, she snapped her fingers and her groupies ran after her.
When she was out of hearing range, the group (by that I mean Inu and co.) burst out in laughter. Each member was holding on to their sides as if they would explode. (BOOM!) Everyone was practically rolling on the floor laughing, except for the Prince of Ice, Sesshomaru, who was pretending that he never even met any of them before in his life.
When they got over their laughing fit they realized that class was about to start soon so they began walking to class together. Inside their classroom, nothing special was happening just people chatting. All the preps and jocks in one corner, the goths in another, the nerds in the center of the room, the loners being lonely in the back and the valedictorian wannabes at the front of the room. The gang went straight to the back where they usually hung out and sat in their seats. They had small talk and suddenly stopped when their teacher, Ms. Kaede, came in.
"Remember to work on you projects soon, I'll give you class time to work on it today." She told the students.
"Did you bring your part?" queried Kagome.
"Yeah, here." answered Inuyasha while handing over the paper.
Kagome then began to read it. -- Inuyasha the great was cornered by the malicious spider demon and he had nowhere to go. Then he decided to use his secret weapons. He whipped out two big ass machine guns and shot the spider demon and all his minions sky high. Then Kagome, the damsel in distress, comes up to him and she is instantly in love with his charm and rugged good looks. Inuyasha then becomes hero of the world with more girls than play boy mansion ever had and he becomes richer than the American dude, Bill Gates. Soon, he becomes Emperor of the Earth and everyone praises him like a kami. Then he finds the secret to immortality and lives like a god worshipped by everyone because they were below him for the rest of his life. THE END --
Kagome sweat dropped and said to Inuyasha "Nice try but no dice. There were no guns, playboy mansions or emperors back then and what do you mean by charm and rugged good looks? We aren't talking about Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom here! You should deflate your big ego a little because you might fly away since it's full of hot air!"
Inuyasha took this as a big blow to his pride and he immediately recoiled back "Oh? Well, it doesn't seem like your doing any better. I bet your story is just about two couples falling in love and all that stuff. Just some trashy romance novel or something."
Kagome defended her dignity by replying "No, I told you already it's about a modern schoolgirl who falls into a well and is mysteriously transported back to the Feudal Era where she meets a inu-hanyou who is pinned to a tree. She releases the hanyou when a centipede demon bites her and a jewel called the Shikon No Tama comes out of her body. The jewel is actually a sacred jewel that can grant it's owner one wish when complete. After defeating the centipede demon, the hanyou demands the Shikon no Tama when the village priestess puts a subduing spell on him. Then soon a crow demon comes and steals the jewel. The schoolgirl in attempt to retrieve the jewel accidentally shatters it into pieces. Then they set off on a journey to recover the shards where they meet a young fox demon, a perverted monk and a demon slayer with her pet cat demon. They all are after the same thing, the Shikon No Tama and to kill the evil spider demon."
"Wow! That is a good story! Tell me more!" exclaimed a wide-eyed Inuyasha, who was, at the moment, acting like a six-years old who just heard of a fairytale.
"That's all I have, the rest was up to you. We discussed the plans at my house but someone wasn't paying attention." replied Kagome getting POed. (pissed off P)
Inuyasha and Kagome spent the rest of the period talking about the storyline and the plot. There were a few arguments and laughter and the joy of spending it with a friend.
Later during the day, they had P.E.9 It was different today because it was a special class. They had archery… (dun dun dun!)
"Now I want everyone to get a bow on that table over there and five arrows each. Then report back to me immediately for the rules. Anyone seen using the arrow before instructions are given will be sent home and won't be able to participate in any other special activities." said Mr. Totosai.
Everyone grabbed a bow and picked out arrows that they liked. Soon they all stood around Totosai to listen for further instructions. As soon as everyone got something.
Totosai began to talk in a lecturing way. "This is a very serious class. No fooling around! Although the arrows are blunt they can still hurt someone if fired at close range. Even five feet apart could send the person into the hospital! I want everyone to go to a target and stand next to it. Do not notch your arrows yet. Now go!"
Everyone immediately ran to a target not wanting to miss this particular class. When they were all ready, Totosai began to lecture again.
"I want you all the stand at black line in front of your targets. Then tighten your strings. When I give the signal you will shoot your five arrows. I will check on all of your targets when you are finished. I want you to act as if this is a contest because whoever has the best score will get a gift card to any shop in the Tokyo mall. Begin!"
All the students went to the line and with the help of others they soon had their strings tightened up and were ready to shoot. A horn was heard and people let the arrows fly. The arrows flew everywhere. Some made it to the targets Some made it a foot in front of the line, but only one word could describe this scene, chaotic.
About ten minutes later, all the arrows had been shot. Totosai went around inspecting the targets. He got Miroku first. Miroku had managed to make it to the target but the arrows were scattered all about on the outer most rim.
Sango was next. She faired better than Miroku since she was from a family og demon exterminators, but none of her arrows made it to the bull's eye.
Hojo was the next to be inspected. None of his arrows made it to the target. Heck, none of them made even remotely close to the target. When Totosai saw this, he shook his head and made a "tsk tsk" sound with his tongue. Hojo was greatly embarrassed.
Soon came Inuyasha. He did better than those before him, all five of his arrows made to the ring closest to the bull's eye. (there are four rings)
Totosai inspected many others, but soon he got to Kikyo. She was standing next to her target grinning proudly. 'Maybe this will impress Inuyasha.' she thought to herself. Totosai looked greatly please to see that every one made it to the bull's eye.
He continued to inspect other students, while smiling at some and shaking his head at others. At the last target, he found Kagome standing next to the target which was held up with a wooden frame. Totosai took one look at the target and broke into a wide grin. He then announced to the entire class "In all of my twenty-five years of teaching here. This is the first time I had two young girls have a tie. It seems like we will get a sudden death round. Will Kagome and Kikyo please approach the stage?"
The two girls did as they were told. Totosai handed them each three arrows while he gave instructions to four students to bring up to new targets from the storage room behind the gym. He explained the rules to everyone. The rules were simple. Each would fire three arrows at a single target. Whoever had the best score will win. When the students came in and placed the targets in a specific area, Kagome and Kikyo readied their bows and took their place at a black line which was approximately fifty feet away from the targets. At Totosai's signal, both girls fired their three arrows.
When the arrows were fired, Totosai approached the targets. He reached Kikyo's first. Kikyo had hit the bull's eye with all three arrows. Each arrowhead touching the other ones. Totosai nodded his head approvingly. Then he reached Kagome's target. He let a surprised gasp escape from his mouth. Kagome' first arrow had hit dead center but that was not what surprised him. The second arrow hit the first arrow directly in the middle and cut it in half until the middle. The same thing happened to the third arrow. This arrow hit the second arrow making the arrows look like a connecting chain.
Totosai went back to the teenage girls and faced the class. "We have a winner… Higurashi, Kagome!" A loud cheer erupted from the crowd. They cheered and hollered until Totosai signaled for them to quiet down. He than took out, a blue gift card in the shape and size of a credit card of his pocket and handed it to Kagome.
Kikyo was still on stage during all this. She grabbed a spare arrow from the table and shot the arrow directly toward Kagome's head. Kagome head a whirring sound from behind her and turned. She turned a little too late to dodge the arrow.
