Mixed Emotions [Eight] - Invitations for the special ones
Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Ayame, Kouga, Miroku - On the lockers...
"Where the hell is he?"
"He said he'd be here today..."
"Well, he isn't here is he? I'll give him a piece of my fist!"
"Oh come on. He might still be sick, ya know..."
"Why'd you beat him up if he didn't show up anyway?"
"I don't know...maybe because he made me worried when I heard about how he collapsed or something..."
Today was Wednesday of the month of November. Inuyasha was suppose to show up at this day in school as he had told his friends. "It's a surprise!" was what he had said before hanging up on the phone. Miroku, Sango, Kagome, Ayame, and Kouga all stood at their usual waiting spot in the school mornings. Kagome was worried and angry at the same time, and Sango and Ayame stood patiently, while Kouga and Miroku stood by them. It was a sunny, breezy day and soon it would start to snow. The girls wore sweaters above their uniforms, while the young men wore jackets over their uniforms.
"Urgh...I'm tired of waiting. Where could he be?" asked Kagome.
"Maybe he collapsed again or something...then got ran over by a car," Kouga responded bluntly, but Ayame snapped at him.
"Kouga! That's plain cruel! Saying that to your friend!"
"Fine...sorry. Whatever."
"Anyway, I think it's best if you wait for him, Kagome. He is in all of your classes, right?" Miroku suggested.
"Yeah...but--" Kagome complained.
"Then it's settled. The bell is about to ring, and you can ask him why he's late when he gets here, alright? Ciao," said Miroku. And with that, the four older teens went to their classes. Kagome stood there and sighed deeply. With one last look behind her, she walked off to her History class slowly, as if she were expecting Inuyasha to appear behind her.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------
Kagome sat down on her usual seat in class, with her backpack hanging from the back of her chair. About three hours had already passed, and there was still no sign of Inuyasha. She was at her third period class, which was Mathematics. The pen between her fingers swirled sluggishly. Her eyes lingered around the room, particularly the sliding door. Everytime she would hear loud running footsteps, she would turn her attention away from the teacher and turn to the door. But it always turned out to be a student from another class or a teacher. Kagome sighed and fiddled her pen. She looked down at her question sheet with no intention of answer a question at that moment. Everything was a blurr...she couldn't concentrate on anything at that moment. Then, a swift movement opened the door to the classroom. Silver hair flying everywhere, there stood Inuyasha.
"My, Inuyasha, you are very late. Did you sign up at the office?" asked the teacher, Ms. Yukkino; the one that favours Hojo the most. Inuyasha nodded , and walked down to his seat. When Ms. Yukkino gave him the question sheet, Inuyasha frowned slightly, but then got a pencil out and began thinking about the answers. Meanwhile, Kagome watched him silent as a fox, but the teacher gazed at her looking back at Inuyasha.
"Ms. Higurashi, if you will, please answer your question sheet and don't look at the other people's work." Kagome looked up and saw the female woman towering over her and looked at her sheet. It was empty, with no answers whatsoever. So, the fifteen year old began scribbling answers on her paper. Surprisingly, by the end of class, most of her answers were correct!
"Hey, Inuyasha! Why were you late?!" Kagome exclaimed as she called after the silver haired hanyou outside the classroom on their way to the last class of the day. Inuyasha looked back looking quite sleepy and tired.
"Huh?"
"I asked you why you were late," Kagome said impatiently. Inuyasha let out a yawn, then rubbed his eyes in a weird way.
"I overslept again," he said with no expression in his voice. "Well, see ya around." Then, Inuyasha walked off without another word.
"Overslept, huh?" Kagome mumbled. "So weird..." A light tap on the shoulder sent Kagome nearly jumping. Whirling around, she realized that it was her friends, Miroku, Ayame, Kouga and Sango standing by her.
"He overslept? What an excuse. Maybe did something last night," Kouga said suspiciously, but got slapped by Ayame once again. His cheeks were now very red from all the slaps that he got all day, and the same goes for Miroku.
"You've got a wild imagination," Ayame commented. "Anyway, what were you two just talking about, Kagome?"
"You heard us. We just had a quick conversation and he ran off."
"Well, we'll just interrogate him after school. He can't get away with it without telling us what he's hiding." Miroku, Kouga and Ayame ran off to their classed, but Sango stayed behind.
"Do you think he's avoiding me, Sango?" Kagome asked her friend. Sango shook her head.
"Naw...he's just got a surprise for you or something..." Sango replied with a smile. "Boys...they act all the same. Well, gotta fly, Kagome! See ya after school!" Then, the sixteen year old ran behind her friends and disappeared in a classroom.

Tp. Tp. Tp.
The rock skipped three times...and sunk.
Tp. Tp. Tp. Tp.
Another rock skipped four times. Kagome sighed. She got out of school earlier than usual, and is now at the school backyard by a secret pond. Her bag lay motionless on the somewhat wet grass. The fifteen year old girl sat on the grass lazily, with her shoes and socks off, and admiring the coolness of the water. No one else knew that secret spot aside from the five friends (Kouga, Miroku, Ayame, Sango and Kagome). Inuyasha definitely knew nothing of this, unless Kouga or Miroku told him about it. Other than that, Kagome was concealed from the world at that moment.
...He's just got a surprise for you or something...
Boys...they act all the same...
"What surprise does he have anyway?" said Kagome. "It's not like he's going to take me to some kind of royal event or something. Whatever..." She dipped her feet in the cold water, and felt little fishes swimming. "Hang on...when is his birthday anyway?"
"Are you asking when my birthday is?" said a young man's voice from behind her. Kagome turned around so fast that she almost hurt her neck.
"Inuyasha?!" she gasped. "What are you doing here?!"
"You think I wouldn't find out about this place?"
"Er...no..."
"So you were asking when my birthday is?" Kagome blushed.
"Not really...but I just want to know--"
"What a coincedence then. I was just about to give you guys something."
"What is it?" Kagome wondered out loud.
"A birthday invitation," said Inuyasha gleefully. "You're invited to my birthday party next week. Here you go." The silver haired teen handed over a colourful home-made invitation card that was very cute.
"I'm invited to your birthday party?"
"Yep. It starts at 7:30PM, so be there, alright?"
"Okay...thanks, I guess."
"No problem, Kagome. All our friends are invited."
"That's great! I just know that I'm going to have fun!"
"And...also a special friend from my previous school...is invited. You'll meet her there. Her name's Kikyo. She's nice."
"I'm sure I'll be friends with her." A small smile appeared in Kagome's face. Excitement ran through her veins for a couple of minutes, then she asked herself, "So is this the surprise Sango was talking about?"
"What surprise?"
"Nevermind. Let's just go." Kagome pulled her socks on and placed her foot in each shoe. Inuyasha pulled her up to her feet and carried her bag for her. Together, the two walked towards the school gates. There, their friends awaited their arrival. Miroku grinned slyly (obviously there's something naughty in his mind), Kouga had a blank expression, and Ayame and Sango were smiling brightly.
"Here comes our school's number one couple," Kouga announced, holding up the school newsletter. In bold letters, it said, "(1) Inuyasha and Kagome: Juniors in Love."
"Well, well, well," Miroku muttered, with that sly grin plastered on his face. "Who could've thought our Inuyasha and Kagome would be this month's number one couple?" The silver haired hanyou and the raven haired girl looked enlighted, and at the same time, shocked and disgusted.
"WHAT IN SEVEN HELLS?!" Inuyasha yelled out loud that the people around them stared at him like he was a freak show.
"What's this about?!" Kagome exclaimed.
"Don't worry about it. It's just weekly stuff by the Student Council. Let's just go and celebrate this new couple thing. Let's get ice cream!" said Ayame.
"YEAH!" Miroku, Sango and Kouga chorus. Pulling them by the arm, Inuyasha and Kagome were dragged by the four: 1 person each arm.
"NOOO!! I DON'T WANT TO GO!!!"
-------------------------------------------------------------
Next day went on smoothly. But as Miroku and the others arrived at their lockers, there was a colourful card pasted on it.
"You have one too?" asked Ayame, holding up her card to Miroku.
"I have one on my locker too!" said Sango and Kouga, doing the same gesture as Ayame.
"Let's see what it says on it..." The four opened their cards, read it silently, then looked at it, shocked.
"We're...we're--"
-------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------
How'd you like that? Pretty good? Bad? I'll try to update this in two weeks, alright?
P.S. Reviews...please??
