Crystaltears: I know we haven't been updating, well, SORRY nervous laughter and twiddling of thumbs! I'm too busy pitying myself at the moment for getting a stupid, stupid, STUPID B in English. Yes, grades are more important to me than a little fanfic like this. Grrr….I absolutely ABHOR Mr. Zalewski! He's a fat horse of a man I tell ya! (And he took points off of my stupid Of Mice and Men test cuz the instructions told us to answer only two of the three questions, but I answered three!!) GOD! I HATE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!! On the brighter side, we've made it up to you (sorta) by writing an extra long chapter. Hope it's not too pathetic and pointless '
Angevil: Don't worry about Crystaltears, she's gonna be ok. Well I hope, my idea will be fun to read! Enjoy!
Remember, it's THURSDAY!

-----------------
Chapter 13-Green Envy
Kagome stared at Inuyasha, was he ok? He looked a tad red to be the average healthy (and not sick) person.
"Um…are you ok?"
"Huh?"
Did it feel like he was drooling or what?
"I said, 'are you ok?'" Kagome said, rolling her eyes.
"Oh, yeah, sure, um, uh, NeVeR bEtTeR!"
'God! I sounded like a chipmunk, ok Inu, just breathe and get your voice under control. She's just a girl…no even less! A geek! An ugly little bitch. You're just kinda woozy' But no matter how hard he tried to convince himself, he just couldn't bring himself to believe it.
"Are you sure?"
Inuyasha coughed and cleared his throat, "Yeah, I'm fine. Stop being such a worry wart, wench. Why would something be wrong" (OMG, what's that called…what is it called…grrr, like look look, there's 3 w's!)
"Well, I'm just asking, because a moment ago, you were a little red in the face! Jeez, sorry for caring!"
"It's just a little hot in here with the weather and all…"
"Righttt."
"Look, we are dropping the subject right now!"
"Right now? As in right this moment?"
"Yes."
"As in right this minute?"
"YES"
"As in this point in time?"
"YES?! For God's sake, could please just shut up!"
"Ok. Ok…" Kagome smiled and laughed.
Inuyasha automatically rushed to her side and opened the car door for her.
"Thanks." She said, flashing one of those oh-so-kinda-sorta-somewhat-quite-cute smiles. "It's nice of you to take me to school…but you don't have to. You know that right?"
"Sure I do."
"Then why are you."
"Because………."
Kagome just shook her head with a smile on her face.
The two got to school just in time to hear the bell ring. Kagome immediately ran off down the hall towards her locker yelling "Thanks for the ride Inuyasha."
-----------------
Many people stared in wonder at the girl before them…was she new? They hadn't heard any rumors of a new girl being in school. But truth be told, this chick standing in front of them was HOT! The guys looked on with wide eyes. She was standing in the doorway, clutching onto the frame, panting hard. She looked like she needed some water.
'Whew! I'm glad I made it to class on time!' Kagome thought. 'Wouldn't want the teacher to think me as an irresponsible person at the end of the year!' Although…she WAS getting a little bit uncomfortable guys in the class…they kept on, looking at her, ya know, as in…checking her out. They hadn't ever noticed her before, why start now?
She nervously took her usual seat. Everyone continued staring. Her nerves finally gave way, "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!"
'Phew, thank GOD the teacher isn't in here yet.'
The guys just stared again, "Um…new girl…that's Kagome Higurashi's seat…"
"I'm aware of that."
"Well…we have assigned seats in here."
"I understand that concept as well."
"Wait…who are you?!"
"Kagome Higurashi…" she rolled her eyes. What was WRONG with them?!
-----------------
Inuyasha sat in his desk. He was sooo bored. He knew he should be listening to the teacher…but just couldn't bring himself to be interested in what the man was droning! He tried to listen. He sat up from his slouching position and looked attentively at the teacher. Ah…..to hell with that! He slouched down again. BOOOORRRRIIINNNGG!
'I wonder what Kagome's doing?'
He heard the teacher say something about…well, something.
'Probably taking notes and paying attention in class…as always. She's probably never partied in her life! I wonder what it's like to kiss her…Whoa! Snap out of it! You're just missing a REAL girl's touch…that's the only reason you're fantasizing such stupid things!' He shook his head furiously as if it would help him jumble his previous thoughts
'Still…I wonder what she's up to.'
--------------------
Kagome kept on slipping up her pencil when she was taking notes. Those guys really creeped her out. They kept on sending her these little notes and stuff, telling how pretty she was or something. And every now and then, when she looked up, some random guy she didn't even know would keep staring at her. She could just feel it, like you get the feeling someone's staring at you, but you don't know who or where they are.
RINGGG!!!!
'Finally! I can get out of this freaky place!'
Boys started heading over to her desk, scary smiles on their faces.
Kagome shoved her books into her backpack and bolted out of the room. As she ran away from her classroom, she could see some other guys coming over to her too. 'Eeek! I better get away from them!' Just then, she saw……Sango! Yes! All she had to do was join her friend and hopefully the guys would just leave her alone. Or…if they didn't, she could always ask Sango to beat them up.
"Sango! Wait up!"
Sango's head spun around. She seemed to glance down the hall, but couldn't see a familiar face, so she turned her head back around and continued walking.
"SANGO!!!!! Wait!!!!!!"
The said girl whipped her head around again. Who was calling her name?? Hey! The person running towards her was Kagome!...with…was that a dust cloud behind her?
"Hmm? Oh! Kagome, it's you! What's up?"
"Save meeeee!!!"
Kagome ran to her friend's side and pointed at the crowd behind her, "They're after me!!"
"Can't you think of something? You're the smart one!"
"I can't think with this…um…pressure."
"You owe me!" Sango spun around to face the "mob" and pointed a threatening finger at them, "Look, you….! If you guys follow Kagome anymore, I'm gonna come and kick your asses!!"
Silence...
Hushed whispering…
"Do you think that chick could beat US up?"
"Nah."
And the crowd started up again.
"Ahhh! Class is starting!!!!!! In like….3 minutes! And I'm on the other side of the building!"
The two girls turned around and started running again. Soon their breaths became rasps. "I need water."
"Me too"
Random shouts could be heard from the crowd, "Hey Kagome! I know it's late, but will you go to the prom with me?"
The two girls turned back to see if they'd lost them yet, only to see that the distances between them was closing. "Just keep running!"
"I'm not tired…"
"Legs not burning…"
"Arms not heavy."
"MUST KEEP GOING!"
"OOMPH!"
Before Kagome knew what was happening, she was sitting on her butt. A boy stood in front of her. Somehow…she thought she'd seen him somewhere before.
"Kagome!" he exclaimed. (AN: no….it's not Inuyasha…and she didn't bump into the guy and loose her memory, why would anyone think that?)
"Huh?"
"Kagome! They're gaining on us!" Sango screamed.
"Um…uh...just wait a second!"
"No time!" Sango dragged Kagome off. "Besides! You're going to be late for class!"
Kagome groaned. She'd almost forgotten about class! She was out of there in a beat. She couldn't break her record…ever! Oh no, Kagome Higurashi was NEVER late for class, and this wasn't going to be her first time either.
"Um…bye?" She called to the stranger.
"But-"
------------------------
Inuyasha sighed. He hadn't seen a trace of Kagome all day. Well, at least it was lunch time. Maybe he'd get to see her then.
Soon he heard Miroku's voice calling to him. "Inuyasha!"
"Oh, hey Miroku."
"Did you hear the news?"
"What news are we talking about?"
"There's this new kid who just transferred here today."
"Why would some kid transfer here at the end of senior year?!"
"I dunno. But they say-OH! Look! There's Sango!!!" He started waving crazily. He rushed over to her table and sat next to her. "How are you m'lady?"
"Fine…" she murmured. "Now go away. I'm cramming for a test."
"Sango!" he said dramatically, clenching his hand over his heart, "Do you not care for me anymore?"
The girl continued chewing an apple and flipping through the pages of her textbook.
Miroku frowned slightly (even HE knew to never grope someone cramming for a test especially if they really care about their grades) and turned to Kagome, "And how are you?"
"I feel like my legs are gonna fall off." She groaned. All that running took its toll on you. And that's when a boy with short brown hair came and sat down next to her.
"Hey, Kagome."
"Oh! It's you! I'm sooo sorry for bumping into you in the halls today. But…how did you know my name?"
"Kagome Higurashi! Tsk tsk. Don't you remember your best friend from kindergarten all the way till we graduated from elementary school?"
"Oh my god! Bryan? Is that you?"
"Yeah, I was wondering what happened to you, so I looked you up, and my mom said I could spend the rest of the school year here. I wanted to thank you, ya know…for being my friend when everyone else made fun of the weird clothes I wore and stuff. I didn't have any other friends but you…though you were always quick to make friends."
"Wow Bryan. You look so different! I hardly recognized you!"
"And you Kagome, look even prettier than you did before…"
"Oh, stop with the flattery." She laughed. "So what've you been up to lately?"
"Oh, nothing much. I'm trying to raise my grades."
"YOU?! Bryan…the smartest kid in elementary school that could match even my wits, not to be a braggart or anything, trying to raise his grade??"
"Yeah…I guess middle school was…different. After you moved…I kinda, didn't have any friends in middle school. And since everyone in my school was basically part of our elementary school, I had to find someway to fit in…so I acted all dorky and I went out and bought some clothes. Guess you could say 'got a makeover'. And bam! I suddenly become the most popular guy in school. Still was at my old school. But, the thing is…after I started acting dorky and stupid, I couldn't stop going down that road. It's like my fake personality was replacing the real one, and before I knew it…I can barely maintain a passing grade. Hey, at least I can try to still get to the top of the social scale, right?" He chuckled a little.
"I suppose, but just to warn you…I'm nowhere near the top. Just don't forget about me when you're up there at this school." She said, smiling.
"And you've got someone to compete with." Miroku added.
"I doubt it…who could be more wanted than me?" Bryan said in a tone that mirrored one of Inuyasha's. And speak of the devil…
"Me, of course." Inuyasha came up from behind them.
"Hmm, you're no competition."
"Watch your mouth bastard!"
"Why don't you watch yours?!" Bryan snarled, "Kagome, why do you eat lunch with such a loser anyways?"
"Uh………"
"Kagome! Tell this new kid that I am so much better than him!"
"No Kagome, tell him how much better I am!"
The battle of words went on for a while and then, "WILL YOU GUYS JUST SHUT UP?!?! I'M TRYING TO STUDY!!!!!!" Sango screamed.
The boys sweatdropped. Kagome sighed. 'Sango's NEVER going to pass the test with this going on…'
"Look…Bryan, why don't we go outside and catch up?"
"Sure, Kag," Bryan gave Inuyasha a look that said 'she-likes-me-better-than-you.'
Inuyasha seethed. "Fine!!! Go and mess around with your little boyfriend!!!! See if I care!!!"
Kagome turned around, "What did you say?! My what?!"
"Yeah, that's right, I said it, your boyfriend! The innocent little Kagome, turned scandalous and gets herself a boyfriend. Not so pure anymore eh, Higurashi?!"
"A word of caution buck-o, YOU'RE the one asking ME to PROM REMEMBER!!!!! Besides Mr. Cocky-pants, stop getting so hyped up…we're just F-R-I-E-N-D-S!"
"Free, fry…What is that supposed to mean Kagome?!"
"Oh my god! We're just friends dumbass! Now come on Bryan," Kagome gave him one of her signature smiles, "we have a lot of catching up to do." She turned around and left.
"OH…WHERE ARE YOU GOING??!! FINE!!!! I DON'T NEED YOU…ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!!!! COME BACK YOU…YOU…YOU…YOU WENCH!!!"
His question was met by the slamming of the cafeteria door and, ahh, the beauty of silence.
The spell was broken, when the perv stood up to give a comforting pat on Inu's back.
"Ah my friend, is that the little green monster I see on your shoulder?"
"NO!" He yelled and stormed off in the opposite direction that Kagome and her impudent friend had gone.
"AAARRGGGHH, CAN'T ANYONE GET ANY STUDYING DONE IN HERE??? I AM LEAVING!"
"But wait, my dear lady Sango…"
::SLAM::
--------------
(After School)
"Hey Kag," Sango said, walking up to her locker.
"Hey"
"So the prom's on Saturday and I FINALLY got my parents to agree to a WHOO-HOO-PROM'S-TOMORROW Party."
"Really that's wonderful," she said kinda iffy-ly.
"Aw come on Kag, you party pooper, you old cow, it's gonna be fun."
"On the account that at your last party I sat around reading Kohaku's baby books, and the one before that I sat around playing Chinese Checkers with myself, plus I never won, so who's going?"
"Come on Kag, be fair, I was reading those books with you…just not in your view, and Chinese Checkers is a very mind stimulating game to play and you cannot never win! Just favor one side over the other like every other person in this world. Um, Miroku, Inuyasha, Hojo, Kouga, Eri, Yuka, Ayame, and Ayami…oh and you of course," Sango said…nonchalantly.
"You better. So what time?"
"Everyone's coming at six, but you being my right hand woman, you get to come at five to help me set up!"
"O yay…"
"So I'll see you at five tomorrow!" Sango said perkily and pranced out the door.
"Yeah…"
Slamming her locker, Kagome calmly out of the school, enjoying the beauty of spring. She walked slowly, her mind BASICALLY not thinking about anything, her feet just dragging automatically like most high school-ers these days.
Inuyasha drove his car slowly behind her, attempting to be conspicuous.
'So he's following me, I wonder what he's getting at…' Kagome pretended that she failed to notice Inuyasha, in his BRIGHT red car, driving slowly, with the engine WHIRLING.
'Right now to make him…angry…'
Just as such SINFUL thoughts rose in Kagome's head, a screeching of tires was heard.
"Yo Kagome, want a ride home?" It was Bryan in his BRIGHT blue car, driving at breakneck speed, with the engine WHIRLING, AND the tires SCREECHING.
"Uh..sure…" 'Smile and nod Kagome, just smile and nod…' Kagome gave him a VERY strained smile.
Turns out Bryan changed somewhat. You know how people undergo phases when they reach the top of the social ladder? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Sneaking a glance at Inuyasha, in his BRIGHT red car, driving slowly, with the engine WHIRLING, Kagome decided to prod that little green monster some more…not that she knew about that or anything.
"You do have seatbelts…right?"
"Sorry honey, 'where did that come from?', just got my baby enforced, WITHOUT SEATBELTS, damn I could be on 2 Fast 2 Furious!"
'Talk about the ego' thought Kagome.
ALL the way back to her house, ALL Bryan talked about was his "baby".
'Get a life,' Kagome secretly rolled her eyes and sighed in boredom.
"O look it's that Inuyeahsha guy behind us."
True to his observation, not like it was a very good one, since Kagome noticed as soon as she was stepping in his car, that Inuyasha, sorry, Inuyeahsha was revving up his engine for a great chase. Talk about 2 Fast 2 Furious. Why didn't they invite them on the movie anyways, they so deserved the part. I mean look at InuYEAHsha's ticked off face, and the o, the horror on Bryan's wimpy visage. O this was better than the movie. Now the only thing that was missing was an XL tub of Orville Roddenbocker's Kettle Corn to top it all off.
Bryan hesitantly stopped the car in front of the Higurashi house, wondering if tempering with Inuyeahsha was a good idea…no wait, he had pride ( or ego as women tend to call it) and he was not gonna let some bucko get the best of him. Ahh the imperfections of men. Well not too far behind was Inuyeahsha, in his BRIGHT red car, driving at breakneck speed, with the engine WHIRLING, AND the tires SCREECHING. He did a hectic U-turn in some old man's driveway, almost ramming into their garage before stopping about a nanometer away from Bryan's BRIGHT blue car, with the engine no longer WHIRLING, no longer driving at break neck speed, and the tires no long SCREECHING. If you could see a wet cat's face, that would be a perfect copy of Bryan's right now.
"Kagome, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING IN THAT LOSER'S CAR?!"
Well like all men, Bryan must defend himself. "WHAT! WHO ARE YOU CALLING A LOSER? THE ONLY LOSER I SEE HERE, IS YOU…YOU…YOU…LOSER!!"
"OH SHUT UP SCUM BAG!"
"WELL A…"
"ALL RIGHT THAT IS ENOUGH! I've had enough of the both of you. Bryan, go home. Inuyasha get your sorry ass over here, cuz you're in big trouble mister!"
Without delay, Bryan sped off as Inuyasha, with a triumphant smirk, got out of his car.
"I really don't see why you're smirking. Just because I didn't send you home doesn't mean you're any better!!!"
"Well.."
"Shut up, I really don't have any more patience to put up with you. Sango has a party tomorrow at six o'clock, be there or be square."
"Where."
"At her house you nutcase! Now leave!" She shoved him off her property.
"Well somebody's PMSing," Inuyasha muttered.
"I HEARD THAT! And FYI, PMSing is just a chance for us girls to act like you guys ALWAYS do!!!"
"What?! We don-" Before Inuyasha could finish his sentence, the front door was rudely slammed in his face.
Inuyasha stalked back to his car mumbling something under his breath. He opened his car door, revved up his engine (hmm…don't you think it should be breaking down at about now?) and sped off.
Half-way home…he realized, "Damn it!!!!!!!!!!! I still don't know where Sango's house is!!"
Should he turn back and ask for directions? Psshhh…Yeah right, like Kagome was gonna let him in the house. He'd be lucky if his knocking on the door wasn't just the "wind"
'Oh well, I'll ask her in the morning, should I pick her up, she seems kinda…uh, mad at me right now…It's not like the party is…wait…it's TOMORROW?!'
