Chapter Six
Surprise

"Whomever turned on the sprinklers at the Lunch Period, please report to the principal's office immediately."
Kagome smirked as the memory floated through her mind. She had been the one to set it off, but of course she didn't report to the office. No way in hell. But some pathetic loser with no life gave her name as a suspect. So the office called her parents, or should she say they called Suki, the only person she could call her sister/best friend/caretaker/mother. She knew she wouldn't be in the much trouble, but she also knew that she would get a lecture. A very short and sweet lecture probably consisting of 'Never do it again, or at least wait a couple months'. Kagome smiled. That's why she loved Suki. Because she understood...
Kagome sighed and sat up in her king size bed, with black silk sheets and an abundance of red silk pillows, in all sizes, and decided it was time to get up. It was Saturday morning, 10:30 and usually she would sleep in, but today she just felt like going out.
She looked at her crimson red walls, with pictures of different bands, skateboarders, snowboarders, hot guys, pretty girls, and different phrases from magazines and posters from PacSun and Hot Topic. If you were to stand in her doorway, facing south, you'd see one wall completely made up of windows, from ceiling to floor, with a balcony stretching to hang outside the window length. In the middle of the five ceiling-to-floor windows, two doors opened up onto the balcony. Covering the windows, were bamboo, matchstick blinds and over those, a sheer curtain of white. Sunrays peeked through the matchstick blinds' holes, and cast weird designs on her black plush carpet. On another wall, the west side of the room, she had two bookshelves in the corner, filled up with dictionaries, encyclopedias, thesauruses, magazines, and teen books that she loved to read. She had all these books and used them as writing tools, or rather reference books because she loved to write poetry, write stories and read – one thing only a few select people would know about her. In between the two tall bookshelves, there was a computer desk, with a laptop sitting in the middle, papers and blank discs scattered over the surface – she'd have to clean that soon. On the wall her bed was parked against, the east wall, there were two bedside tables on either side. And in the corner next to the bed, there was a sound system, complete with a six CD changer, and two large speakers. On the ceiling above her bed, there was a flat screen plasma TV. She had a walk in closet, on the west wall of her room also, right next to her own bathroom, for when she would get dressed for non-special occasions, such as school, going to hang with friends, etc.
Kagome swung her legs over her bed and listened to the soft padding of her feet as she went to her stereo to put on some good tunes while she got ready for the day.
Let's go
Yeah
Bow Wow
Remix
Jojo
Let's go
Sing to em' baby
Ohhhahhhh.......
Can somebody explain to me
Why everybody is trying to be
Living like a celebrity
Doing what they see on MTV.
Ice is cool but I am looking for more,
simple things is what my heart beats for.
Cause its me
I don't ask for much
Baby
Having you is enough
Kagome skipped over to her closet and pulled out what she'd be wearing for the day: a pair of low-rise faded jeans, and a black T-shirt that had a bitten apple on it and it said 'bite me' all in red. She headed into the bathroom and turned on the shower, making sure she could still hear her blasting music on the stereo.
You ain't got to buy nothing
It's not what I want
Baby it's You
We don't have to go nowhere
Its not what I want
Baby it's you
It's not for what you got
Cause I know you got alot
No matter what you do
You always gettin Hot
It's You,
It's You
Baby all I want is You Yeah
Kagome hopped into the steaming hot shower, and let the beads of water beat down on her skin. She sang along with the song, this kind of being her statement, because most guys, since she was famous, tried to win her over with money and other materialistic things.
It don't matter that your car is fly
And your rims are spinning on the side and
It don't matter where we go tonight
Cause if I'm with you I'll be alright.
That's cool but I'm lookin for more
Its your love that my heart beats for.
Cause thats me
Don't have to spend a dime
Baby
I just want your time.
Kagome finished washing up in the shower and stepped out, drying herself off with a big red towel. She towel dried her hair and put it up in a messy damp bun. She then sashayed into her room and got dressed in her clothes for the day.
You ain't got to buy nothing
It's not what I want
Baby it's You
We don't have to go nowhere

She went into her large bathroom and opened up a window to clear out the steam. Then she went to a chest she had, full of makeup and facial necessities. She opened up the chest and pulled out her black eyeliner pencil, some charcoal colored eye shadow, and some lip-gloss. She applied all of it, looking just as hot as she did everyday, and then went out into her room again, this time heading to a bedside table, which held her jewelry. She picked up about thirty sex bracelets for each arm, put on her earrings which included: one small hoop earring for the top of her ear and six small hoop earrings, three for each earlobe. She put in her nose ring, then a few rings on each hand.
5,4,3,2,1
Baby girl don't care bout' my dough stack
And she get down chick
And she knows I love that
She sees past all these Bow Wow stuff
B'cos she knows at the end of the day,
The only thing that matters is us
And there be a lot of groupies on the road
But they can't do nothing for me
I gotta good girl back at home
Matching Charm bracelets and pendants
Whoever thought our relationship will be so tremendous
And lately you've been missing me crazy
And anytime you miss me baby sidekick page me
I got a dime piece you know she's the bomb
The type of girl you bring back home just ta meet your mum
I'm not Lorenz Tate, but I think I'm caught in love Jones
Cuz I think bout' her every time I hear my slow songs
And when she thinks about me
I think about her too
When she ride for me
Baby I'm a ride for you
Let's go
Kagome headed into her closet, over to her shoe section and pulled out her black and white low-top Converse shoes. After tying the black shoelaces with white stars, Kagome grabbed her mini red backpack and then went to the curtains to draw them open.
You ain't got to buy nothing
It's not what I want
Baby it's You
We don't have to go nowhere
Its not what I want
Baby it's you
It's not for what you got
Cause I know you got alot
No matter what you do
You always gettin Hot
It's You,
It's You
Baby all I want is You Yeah
You ain't got to buy nothing
It's not what I want
Baby it's You
We don't have to go nowhere
Its not what I want
Baby it's you
It's not for what you got
Cause I know you got alot
No matter what you do
You always gettin Hot
It's You,
It's You
Baby all I want is You Yeah
As the song lyrics faded out, Kagome turned off the stereo and headed over to her door. She pulled it open, and then closed it behind her, locking it, and met up with Sota in the hallway. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt that said 'It's only funny until someone loses their wiener,' with a picture of two stick figures at a camp fire, one without his hot dog. His pants consisted of baggy khaki bottoms.
"What's up, Dweeb?" she asked tousling his black hair.
"You know, I'm thirteen, you can stop with the hair tousling."
"Nope sorry. It never gets old." She smirked when he scowled and they headed towards the elevator to head downstairs.
"So..." Sota started as they rode the elevator until it came to a stop and they got out, walking towards the kitchens.
"Did you pull any pranks yesterday? I pulled the old, make the sprinklers go off with red dye."
"I did that once. But no, this time I only did something mild, you know like a warm-up. Me and Kito made a hella smelly stink bomb and let it go in the cafeteria during lunch."
"That's fucking rad, if you ask me," she smirked and pushed open the door to the kitchen, instantly being smacked in the face with the sweet aroma of Suki's homemade chocolate chip cookies. Sota obviously smelled it too, because he excitedly licked his lips, moving towards the cookies as if they were his prey and yelled out 'Alright!'. Kagome pulled him back.
"Dweeb. Step away from the cookies. Put your brains before your digestive system. Suki only bakes when we're bad. It's a trap." She whispered.
"Oh yeah." He reminded himself of their caretaker's evil plans when they did something bad. Slowly they rounded the corner into a neat kitchen. They saw the twenty-four-year-old standing by the oven with her arms folded across her chest. They came to a halt when they saw the look on her face, and then turned to run.
"Stop right where you are. I want you two to tell me what happened at school yesterday." she tapped her foot on the neatly polished wooden floor.
"Suki you look great. Have I told you that?" Sota asked stepping forward.
"Good Sota. You step into the lions den and I'll stay back and see how much damage will be inflicted on me." Kagome mumbled under her breath evilly.
"Don't play that game with me mister. I was thirteen once to you know. Now," she wiped her hands on a dishtowel and motion for the two adolescents to take two stools at the kitchen counter. "Want to explain why I got a call from both your schools saying something about a prank?"
"Well you see. It's actually a pretty funny story. You'll laugh when you hear this. I mean, what we did was so stupid, you'll just have to laugh." Suki cleared her throat. "Right. Well you see. I got in trouble making a stink bomb and letting it go during lunch and big sis over here got in trouble for turning on the sprinkler system, which let out red dye." Sota explained.
"Thanks for selling me out, Dweeb." Kagome muttered sarcastically.
"Wow, well those aren't new ones. Actually they aren't quite different from the pranks I used to pull when I was your guy's ages. They were good pranks but very wrong." She tried to scold. But she was just too cool of a person. She sighed "Just do me a favor and don't get in any more trouble, ok?" she asked.
"Okay! We won't do it again," they both said in unison. Then Sota cut in. "Well we won't pull the same prank, but you know, we still have reputations to keep."
"Yeah, ok, whatever. As long as you keep your grades up and don't get kicked out of school. Oh and as long as colleges accept you, Kagome."
"Sure thing Suki. Well I'm going out with my friends, call my cell if you need anything." Kagome said as they both got up.
"Oh wait. Take some cookies with you." She pointed towards the plate of cookies.
"They aren't poisonous...right?" Sota asked. They knew that Suki, along with the house chefs, had the best cooking in the world though.
"Why would I poison you? There would be evidence." She pointed out with an evil laugh.
"Uh yeah. That just makes us want to gobble them down right here and now." Kagome said. Then she realized Sota trying to sneak away with about three cookies in his hand and stuck out her foot. "Why are you leaving in such a hurry, Dweeb?" she asked, laughing hard when he tripped.
"Yeah thanks Kagome. I was so close too." He sighed.
"Yeah, sure you were."

Kagome pulled into a parking space at the mall and parked. She pulled on her mini backpack and headed towards the malls glass doors. After pulling them open, she headed towards the mall map to see where she'd be meeting her friends.
'You are here' the little red arrow pointed on the map.
Kagome sighed. She'd have to walk half the length of the mall. 'Oh, well. Better get started.' She thought grimly. She walked through the mall, looking at all the different shops and stores. When she came upon the food court, she wanted to jump with joy. Her friends were standing by a table. They waved her over and she smiled.
"Hey guys. What's up?"
"Nothing. But... um... what are you wearing?" Yumi asked, scrunching her nose at Kagome's outfit. Kagome frowned and looked down at her jeans, and black T-shirt with her black and white Converse shoes.
"What's wrong with my outfit?" she questioned.
"Nothing. Let's just go shopping to get you a new one." Eri replied. They took off and all Kagome did was follow. They went to a store called 'Dig This', a store following the example of 'American Eagle' and 'Abercrombie and Fitch'. One store she couldn't stand.
"Um... do we have to go in there?" Kagome asked, a look of distaste coming onto her beautiful features.
"Where else would we go?" Yumi asked, reapplying her lip-gloss.
"Somewhere else." Kagome muttered and dragged her feet along the tiled floor of the mall, following the two Baby Phat clad girls. While walking, Kagome was looking down at her nails and the three girls accidentally crashed into another groups of three people.
"Watch where you're going freaks." She heard Yumi mutter to the three innocent people. Meanwhile she had her eyes squeezed tight, from the greeting she just had with the floor.
"Ouch." She groaned annoyed. When she looked up, the three 'freaks' she heard Yumi so kindly call, happened to be our three favorite people.
"Sorry ladies." Miroku said, bowing his head slightly. Sango crossed her arms over her chest and glared, hard, at the two standing girls.
"You know, 'excuse me' would have been nice." She said, still glaring.
"Yeah, well if you D-List freaks didn't walk like you think you own the place, then we wouldn't have this minor problem." Eri sneered.
"Wow Eri. Minor is the most complex word I've ever heard you say." Sango sneered back.
"Sango..." Miroku muttered quietly.
Meanwhile, Kagome just looked up at the people around her, and then her eyes found Inuyasha's. He smiled slightly and mouthed 'sorry' to her, and she in turn, mouthed it back. He was standing with his hands in his black jean pockets and he had a forest green T-shirt on, with white lettering saying 'Nautica'. He had on a white, long sleeved shirt on under that, the sleeves pushed up to his elbows. On his head, a black baseball cap, hiding his ears and on his feet, clean white sneakers.
"Aren't you going to help her up? You fucking knocked her down." Yumi sneered in the trio's direction again.
"Yumi, it's okay. I can get up myself."
"No it's not. They need to be taught a lesson."
"Yumi! Oh... my... gosh! It's okay, I can get up myself." Kagome stood up to prove her point and brushed herself off. "I'm out. You two have fun shopping." She headed in the opposite direction and shook her head. 'Why do they always have to make a scene?' she asked herself miserably. 'I need new friends.' She once again thought.
But Kagome was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't realize she was on the abandoned part of the mall and there was no one in sight. She also didn't realize that she just walked past an empty hallway, and maybe the fact that she was one of the richest men in the world's daughter, her situation was a little bit worse than terrible.
Before she knew what was happening an arm reached out and snatched her arm, pulling her into the darkened hallway and a hand was placed over her mouth. Quickly, she became alert and elbowed the guy in the stomach. When he let her go, she screamed an ear-piercing scream and tried to get someone's attention. Her actions seemed futile as he grabbed her again, only this time putting a iron barrel to her temple, making her shut up real quick.
--
The group of three finally separated from the annoying duo and now they were heading towards 'Hot Topic'. But on the way there, Inuyasha stopped in the middle of the crowd.
"Did you guys hear that?" Inuyasha asked, as he turned around and let his eyes scan the crowd of Saturday afternoon shoppers. He took off his hat and let his ears swivel around, trying to process the sound.
"Yeah, no. You kind of are the only one with acute senses. Which includes super hearing." Miroku muttered sarcastically.
"Shut up. That's not what I meant. I heard someone screaming bloody murder."
"In what direction?" Sango asked worried.
"I have no clue. But I have to follow it, because I have a really bad feeling about this." Before they could even blink, Inuyasha had taken off in the direction he thought he'd heard the scream, trying not to knock down people on the way.
Inuyasha stopped and looked around. Then he sniffed the air and picked up an all to familiar smell.
"Oh no. Please, no." he ran in the direction where it lingered the strongest and when he arrived at his destination, what he saw did not make him happy.
