Yay for the reviews! I'm always happy to get reveiws! Now to clear something up about my other two stories. If you are a fan of 'Monkey See Monkey Do' and 'Cherries' You must have realised it is gone. The reason for that is because I want all my concentration to be on this story only, so I can get chapters out faster and finish quicker.

I saved the two stories on my computer, so when I'm half way or finished The game, then I'll repost them. One at a time. And the reason why I didn't Delete 'Your desire' is because I didn't see the reason. I'm not going to work on that story either until later on.

Anywhoo, I'll continue, and without further waiting, Chapter six!

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters. Rumiko Takahashi does.

Kagome felt like screaming but couldn't when she was inetrrupted by laughter. Kagome followed her eyes over to where the laughter had started and she wasn't surprised to see Kikyo pointing and laughing her head off. Soon, Inuyasha who was sitting beside her followed suit, and then everyone in the room began to laugh at Kagome also.

Kagome could feel tears brimming her eyes, but tried to blink them away. But one made it's way down her cheek and mixed in with the chunkly liquid. Kagome didn't waste anymore time before she dashed out of the room with laughter still following her, mortified.

°.°.°.°.°.°.°.°

All the taps had been turned on full blast by a young slightly confused girl. Not wanting anyone to hear her crying, she also pushed on the hand dryers on. Kagome was just not having a very good first day at Wahashru high. Actually, today was the worst day at her life to put it in simpler words.

After many tries for what felt like hours, Kagome almost had all the chunky gunk, which she figured was the chili from sloppy joes, mushroom soup, with ketchup and mustard, out of her hair. But she couldn't say the same for her uniform. Visually, anyone could have seen that something strang was once planted on her red shirt, but then most likely everyone from her school already knew what had been. Pretty much half of her school had been in the cafeteria. And by now, the other half had heard about the trick that had been pulled off.

Kagome let out a frustrated sigh as she threw her wet black hair back from under the hand dryers. No matter what she did, her let down hair just wouldn't listen to her and dry. Kagome decided to give up and glanced at herself in one of the mirrors behind the sinks.

'I look like a drowned rat.' Kagome thought to herself. 'Kikyo couldn't have picked a better amature prank.' Kagome shook her head and felt the tears that had nearly flowed from her eyes before, threatening to fall again. 'No!' Kagome thought fiercly. 'I have to stay strong! I can't let Kikyo get to me!'

'I have to go out there, act like I'm at the top of the world, and think of a way to get back at Kikyo. That's excactly what I got to do.' Kagome forced a smile on her face as she straightened out her uniform. "Just play it safe, play it cool. In my world, I always rule. Yeah!" Kagome shouted to try and make herself feel better.

"What are you, six?"

Kagome jumped suddenly while whipping around towards the door to enter the girls room. A women around her age or older was currently standing infront of Kagome with her arms crossed. She had long black hair, that wasn't pulled up by a ribbon, with torquios eyes shinning with slight amusement.

"Uh.. um.."

The women looked past Kagome and at the taps that were blasting and hand dryers still going on. She quirked a eye brow at the little display, then turned back to Kagome. "Nice work show. But your really wasting some valuble water." The girl walked past her and turned off all the taps and air dryers, Kagome only watching.

"But I can see why you turned it all on. I did also at a time. I saw the whole show with you and the bucket. I didn't find it all that amusing." The women leaned against the sink counter. "Kagome Higurashi, your name was it?"

Kagome nodded her head. "Yeah. Kagome. Not Kikyo." She muttered the last part angrly.

The ravan haired girl laughed alittle. "I can see that. My name is Tsubaki. You realise, your not the only one who has been in a accident such as the one in the lunch room."

Kagome gave Tsubaki a confused look. "What? Someone else has?"

Tsubaki nodded. "Hai. I can see that you are playing the game."

Kagome showed shock in her eyes, before it quickly turned into confusement. "Wh.. what are you.. talking about? What game?" Lying wasn't Kagome best trait, but she hoped this Tsubaki girl would by her act and leave her alone. Kagome wasn't allowed to tell anyone about the game. She would get in even more trouble if anyone found out.

Tsubaki's eyes sparkled with a odd flare as she spoke. "Don't play dumb with me Kagome. I know all about 'The Game' as Kikyo called it. How you do humiliating stunts to eachother to win a prize. To win Inuyasha. I know the game well." Kagome stayed silent, not trusting herself if she could continue to lie.

"I know Kagome," Tsubaki continued. "Because I also played The Game. I lost. As you can see."

"You... played The Game?" Kagome asked once everything sank in. "You lost?"

Tsubaki nodded. "Not one of my fondest moments, but yes. Infront of the whole school Kikyo told my most private secrets. She sent my most private pictures to anyone with a picture phone. She threw all my clothes on the school field and I was forced to go around naked. Yes Kagome, I lost. I lost terribly."

"Kikyo.." Kagome whispered. "Kikyo did that to you? I never thought, not even her, could be that.. that evil. How did you live it down?"

Tsubaki shrugged slightly. "I haven't completely. Kikyo did this to me two years ago, but people still remember. But I'm fine. Just like you will be when you lose."

"When I lose?" Kagome asked. "How are you so sure I'll lose?"

"No one can match up to Kikyo. Everyone knows that. You'll learn." Tsubaki replied matter-of-factly.

Kagome shook her head violently. "No! I'm not going to lose like you did! I'm going to beat Kikyo at her own game! I'm going to win, and beat her streak." Kagome nodded to herself. "I have too."

Tsubaki stayed silent, just studying the young girl infront of her. She could tell that Kagome's soul burned with fire, and she wasn't going to do down without a fight. Even if she did lose, she wont go out with a bang. It amused her to see how deteremined this little one was.

"How are you so sure?"

"I.. I just am. I can't lose. It's just the way I am." Kagome whispered alittle, fire burning in her eyes.

Tsubaki nodded, smiling. "I can see your very determined. So I suppose I should leave you with your thoughts." Tsubaki pushed herself off the counter of the sink and began to walk past Kagome. "But Kagome, you have to start acting like you've already won." Tsubaki opened the door to the girls room and took a step out. "You have to start acting like you already won the prize." And without another word, the women who lost the previous game left the room and left Kagome with her raging thoughts.

Kagome stared at the now closed door, her eyes clouded over. 'What did she mean? How do I act like I won Inuyasha?' Kagome sighed as she decided she spent enough time in the bathroom, and had already missed one of her afternoon classes. She quickly looked herself over in the mirror and saw her hair had dried some, before she dashed out of washroom.

Kagome saw that the halls were crowded with studants. She supposed that her second class hadn't started yet so she quickly walked over to her locker. The only way she remembered where the locker was, was because it was right next to the bathroom.

Kagome undid the lock of her door and searched for her math book, her most hated class was up next. 'Just what I need... math..'

"I can't believe it!"

"Me neither!"

Kagome looked over to see a two brunettes who were standing next to her locker chatting. "I mean, how could that have just happened and no one realised? I wonder how that girl found out."

"Found out what?" Another brunette joined the group, looking over at the other two wondering.

"Didn't you hear? Someone reported to the Japanese News crew that Masaharu Inutaisho and Mashaharu Izayoi are actually dead!"

Kagome's eyes widened. 'What? How could they know that? Inuyasha told me no one knew.' Kagome turned more of her attention to the trio, eves dropping.

"What? Your lying!"

"No I'm not! They died a really long time ago. But no one found out until now. There was like stunt doubles and junk I'm in shock too!"

"How did the crew find out?" The recently added brunette asked.

"Some girl told them. She told them her and Inuyasha had been talking in a forest and..."

Kagome couldn't hear what the rest of the girl said, because she was in her own shock. The way the girl descibed it, it sounded like she was the girl who told the crew. But, no. Kagome hadn't told anyone. How could she? It was obviously a private issue, no one should have known about. 'Wait!' Kagome suddenly thought. 'Is.. Is that why Inuyasha is mad at me? Because I was the one who sent that report in?'

Riiing!

The bell suddenly rang and everyone began to pile out of the halls and to there classes. Kagome watched silently as the chattering studants walked quickly up stairs or down stairs to their classes. Sadly, Kagome had been to into her own thoughts, she forgot to ask anyone for directions on how to get to her math class. 'I shouldn't have to ask.' Kagome thought to herself. 'Inuyasha should be here and showing me.' Now seeing that she would most likely be on her own, Kagome decided to go up a flight of stairs, hoping they would lead her to her next class.

The halls were deadly silent as she made it up the stairs. There wasn't a single kid in sight, let alone a noise from any classrooms being heard. It was like a ghost school. It kind of freaked Kagome out. She let out a confused sigh as she came about a three way hall desion. 'Straight, left, or right?' Kagome glanced down the halls, not a kid in sight. 'Straight didn't fail me the first time, so let's see what happens this time.' Kagome quickly walked straight ahead, searching for any sign of life.

She gasped happily as she saw someone with raven hair taking a drink from a water fountain. The person's back was to Kagome, so she couldn't see them. Who ever the person was, she hoped they wouldn't misread her as Kikyo instead of herself. "Excuse me? Can you help me?" She asked as she made her way to the studant.

The studant stiffened alittle but continued to drink. Kagome smiled as she walked over to the person. "I need help finding my class."

"Find it yourself."

Kagome stopped walking and froze in place. She was really hoping she was hearing things. But as the kid straightened themself up from there bent over position Kagome was suddenly face to face with Inuyasha, the one who was supposed to be helping her and in her math class by now. "I..Inuyasha?"

"Who did you think? God, I thought I got away from you." Inuyasha turned his violet eyes to Kagome's blue grey ones, then he looked over her hair and uniform a smirk pulling at the curves of his lips. "What a beautiful uniform."

Kagome eyes narrowed. First he had the nerve to ditch her, then he thought he could go and taunt her on the cafeteria insident? She didn't think so. "What's the matter with you! Why do you have such a problem with me? I wouldn't be surprised if you were in on the nasty stuff that fell on me at lunch. I know you would do anything for Kikyo."

Inuyasha shrugged some, his smirk still in tact. "Maybe I was in on it. Either way, you deserve what's coming to you. Or should I say, fell on you." He narrowed his eyes alittle before laughing alittle. "You should have seen your face! Now that was a kodak moment!" Inuyasha laughed alittle harder, his head thrown back.

Kagome could feel her blood boil at his words, but more at his laughing. She didn't find anything about what happened funny. The more he talked, the more she hated him. The thing in the forest must have been an act. A good one. But a act none the less.

"I shouldn't waste my breath talking to you. Don't worry, the little stunt in the lunch room will be old news in a few weeks. Have fun until then. I have a class to get to. Ja." Inuyasha began walking away, waving alittle.

"You think I sent in that report in the Japanese News Crew, don't you? About your parents, the scam. You think I actually wrote that?"

Inuyasha stopped waving and moving all together. His hand fell numbly to his side. He was silent, almost like he wasn't breathing. But he kept his back to her.

"I didn't. Why would I? What would I get out of it?" Kagome asked.

"Fame. Your fifteen minutes. Maybe even money. Everyone wants money, don't they?" He asked, turning around alittle that she could see the corner of his left eye.

"At that cost? Your parents, what happened, that's all private information. I don't even know why you told me, you didn't have to," Kagome paused while looking down at the floor. "And I didn't have to tell you my story. But.. I never wrote anything to anyone! I didn't even tell anyone! It's your buisness. Not mine."

Inuyasha stayed silent. "I'm telling you the truth!" Kagome yelled looking up from the ground and towards Inuyasha. "I didn't do it."

"No one else knew. Only you."

Kagome let out a soft sigh. "But haven't you told Kikyo yet? I mean you must love her enough to tell her. But, you know, you don't have to if you.."

"Are you implying, Kikyo was the one who sent it in?" Inuyasha asked with a edge to his voice. He turned right around, his eyes seemed emotionless as he stared at Kagome.

"Well, if you told her.."

"Kikyo, my Kikyo, would never do that to me! She loves me as I love her." His eyes now showed fire and slight anger to Kagome. "She didn't send it in. I bet your just trying to break us up."

"What!" Kagome asked surprised.

"Your jealous of Kikyo. Admit it. Understand this," His eyes boared into Kagome's. "Nothing you say or try will break me and Kikyo up. We are eachother's soul, and nothing can change that. Nothing." Inuyasha gave Kagome one more long glare, before disappearing into a classroom just a few feet from where he had been standing.

Kagome only watched him go, not a word could be said. He was most likely right. Kikyo would never let him go, she knew he loved her to much. But then, why did she put him up for a prize? She must of known he would never go for Kagome, not while Kikyo was around. He was just a prize she couldn't win.

Kagome's eyes widened. It made sense now. Even if Kagome won The Game, she would never win the prize. Inuyasha wasn't available to anyone but Kikyo. Now Tsubaki's words made sense.

"But Kagome, you have to start acting like you've already won."

"You have to start acting like you already won the prize."

Kagome understood now. She had to start acting like she already won the prize, won Inuyasha. She had to act like she had him. She had to win Inuyasha over. It didn't matter if she won the game, what mattered was if she won the prize.

'Even if I don't want Inuyasha, acting like I do shouldn't be a problem. Once I turn on the charm that me and Kikyo must share, I'll have the prize all to myself. Kikyo has no idea what she's dealing with.'

°.°.°.°.°.°.°.°

That's chapter six. Now don't think the pranks are going to end. Oh no, there just getting started. I just wanted to make a small turn in the story that's all. So the reason why Inuyasha hated Kagome was because he believed (And still does) That she was the one who wrote a artical to the news crew that his parents are dead. The cat is out of the bag.

If anyone has questions, just ask. Please review if you liked the story. Til then...

Yume!
