Chapter 3- a catfight

I went to my new closet and opened the doors. I pulled out jeans and a black tank top. It was Friday and I was happy! I put on clunky Doc Martens and put in big hoop earrings, grabbed my backpack and went into the kitchen to eat breakfast in our new kitchen. I opened the fridge and grabbed an orange. Sango came into the kitchen dressed similarly, except the color. Once again, she had blue. I smiled. "Great minds think alike." I said, finishing my orange and walking to my bathroom to brush my teeth.

Sango and I arrived at school, on time for once and went to homeroom. I was silent the entire class.

During lunch, Sango and I sat together, chatting about how we wanted to decorate the third bedroom. Monk was talking to Inuyasha about how they could no longer hang out because Inuyasha was a bigger pervert than he was, something he couldn't tolerate. Inuyasha looked upset. He started walking towards Sango and me. Shessahomaru, who was sitting at a table nearby, stuck his foot out. Inuyasha tripped. His face landed in his lunch; chocolate pudding and mashed potatoes slathered in scolding hot gravy. The lunchroom burst out laughing. People were giving Shessahomaru highfives and yelling congratulations. I laughed as well as Sango. Inuyasha scowled and stormed to the bathroom, but not before slipping on a banana peal and crashing into a pole. Inuyasha's manhood smashed into the pole as well. I could tell that he wouldn't be screwing Kikyo anytime soon.

At the end of the day, Sango and I exited the school. I saw Kikyo standing by the flagpole. She walked over to me and hugged me. "Get off me you old bitch!" I screeched, pushing he off of me. Kikyo's cold eyes narrowed and she slapped me across the face. I cracked my knuckles. Sango took my backpack and stepped back. I took off my large earrings and gave the to Sango. I walked towards Kikyo. I slapped her across the face in return. She cried out and slapped me back. I grabbed hold of Kikyo's shoulders and kneed her in the gut. Kikyo dropped to her knees. I was laughing when she tackled me around the middle. "Old bitch moves fast, eh?" I sneered. We rolled around on the ground. I pulled Kikyo up. She kicked my shin. I narrowed my eyes and made a fist and gave Kikyo a big black eye. Kikyo lunged at me. I saw Inuyasha hurrying towards us, like many were. Kikyo grabbed at my shirt. I pushed her back. She had a handful of my shirt. My shirt ripped open. I stared down at my exposed belly and white bra. Guys were hooting. I realized that Kikyo was kicking out at me. I flipped backwards using my hands and landing on my feet perfectly. "How did you do that?" Kikyo screeched. "Don't you remember, my Daddy had me in gymnastics until I was 14 as well as judo. Or were you to busy fucking every goddamned guy that was living?" I yelled. Kikyo lunged at me again, I was too slow this time and she tackled me, using her nails, Kikyo striked my cheek. Blood poured from my cheek. I lifted my knee and kneed her in her privates. "OOF!" she gasped. I smiled and bent down next to her. "As I said before, Go to hell Kikyo." I said quietly. I calmly picked up my tattered shirt and was handed my earrings and my backpack. Monk handed me his jacket and I slipped it on.

I put a big bandage on my cheek and gave Monk back his jacket after changing into my club clothes. I was now wearing a silver dress, with my hair pulled back. I had on long dangling earrings. I had a silver wire necklace on and highheels. I had some makeup on, too. Sango was in black leather pants and a tight, white nearly see through top. She was wearing black platform boots. We linked arms, and got into my car.

We were in an underground club with loud music with no discernable words. We went to the bar and saw Shippo, the bartender. He brought over the usual. "b the hell happened to you, Kagome?" "I got into a catfight." "With your step mom." Sango said. Shippo shrugged. "Whatever. We got a lot of requests for you two tonight. So, what do you say?" Shippo asked, smiling.

Sango and I went to our dressing room to change into our costumes. "I don't know why we still do this." I said, shaking my head. I slipped into my short black dress with the bunny tail on the butt. I put on white cufflinks and put on tons of makeup. I put my bunny ears on and slid my shoes on. "You ready, Sango?" "Yeah." She said, dressed exactly like me. We looked like twins. We went up to the stage. We got the band to play 'Fever' and Sango went to the other side of the stage. The band started to play, and Sango and I came out on stage, with canes and tophats. I began singing, then Sango joined in. We had the whole club under our spell. We whipped out hats off into the crowd and our canes to the ground.

We ran off stage, giggling. We went into our dressing room and changed. We went back into the club and tons of guys were asking us to sign their 'pecs'. Some guys didn't even have them. I wanted to say 'What pecs were you talking about?' We laughed and signed. We danced for awhile. I was dancing with a really cute guy when I felt hands grab me. I shrieked and saw two police officers there. "Kagome Higurashi, you're under arrest for assault and battery of Kikyo Higurashi." I was cuffed. "SANGO! CALL MONK AND GET ME A LAWYER!" I yelled to my astounded friend. The officers read me my rights and put me in the squad car.

I told the officers everything. Yes, I had fought with Kikyo, but she had started fighting me first. It was just defense. Sango, Monk and many others came forward and said this was true. "Sorry Miss. Higurashi." The police officers said, releasing me. I talked to my lawyer and had her file a suit against Kikyo and the police department for a wrongful arrest. The police department settled with me out of court for half a million dollars. Kikyo was enraged when she found out she was being sued by me and having charges pressed and being arrested for assault and battery.

I went home with Sango and Monk who hadn't left the station since I was arrested. We stepped outside and shielded our eyes from the bright and happy sun. We hurried to the car and Monk drove us home.

I took a long hot shower in my bathroom, got into my p.j.'s and went into my room for a short nap.

I awoke a few hours later and rolled out of bed. I made my bed with the black shiny bedspread I had bought and put the silver pillows back on my bed. I took off my p.j.'s and put on black sweat pants with the word 'devil' on the butt and a white tank top and a hoodie that had my last name across the back. I put on my white sneakers and yawned. It was now four o'clock in the afternoon. I went into the kitchen, half-asleep. I pulled out a can of coke and drank it. I wandered to Sango's room. I knocked on her shut door. "Yeah?" "Can I come in?" "Sure." Sango replied. I opened the door. Sango was sitting at her desk, doing homework. "Let's go shopping for the apartment." I suggested. "Okay." She agreed.

By ten o'clock we had new furniture for our living room, dining room, and office stuff for the third bedroom. We had bought ourselves computers too! We arranged the furniture and then Sango and Monk went out to the movies, leaving me alone to cry. I cried on my bed about all that had happened. The phone rang. "Hello?" I answered. "What do you mean your suing me!" Kikyo screamed. "Shut up. I have nothing to say to you, you goddamned gold digger." "How can you say such things to me Kagome?" "I know that you never really loved my father! I was only willing to put up with you because my father seemed to love you so much. I would have done whatever my father asked of me. However, you have pushed your luck too far. You slept with my boyfriend and I won't ever forgive either of you, so I'm asking you to stop trying. Kikyo, just stop pretending. I will too. In fact, I'll admit it right now. I've hated your guts from when I first met you." I said. I slammed down the phone and I went into the kitchen, very upset. I looked around for something to eat. I heard the phone ring again. "Hello?" I asked. "Uhh…Kagome?" Koga's voice asked. "Yes, Koga?" I asked. "I know you said that you didn't want to like date me and stuff…but I was wondering if you would come with me to this monster truck rally." "That would be fun, Koga. When is it?" I asked. "It's tomorrow." Koga replied. "Okay." "Alright! We'll leave right from school tomorrow. Oh, and I've got two extra tickets, you could invite some friends if you want." "Thanks! Is it okay if I invite Sango and Monk?" "Sure." "Thanks Koga! I'll see you tomorrow." I said. "Bye." I hung up the phone and went to my room to pick out an outfit for the rally. I dug out Doc Martens and black jeans. I laid them out on my desk chair and looked for a shirt. The phone rang again. "What is this, grand central station?" I yelled angrily. I picked up the phone. "Hello?" I demanded. "Kagome?" a feeble voice asked. "This is. May I ask who is calling?" "This is Kaede." "Oh! Sorry for sounding so upset a minute ago. How are you?" "I'm well." Came my grandmother's reply. "Excellent!" "So, Kagome, I hear that you've finally moved out and away from that evil woman's grasp." "Yes. My friend Sango and I share a nice apartment." "Very good. I trust your eating properly?" "Of course." I replied. I enjoyed talking to Kaede because she was wise and she and I have so much in common. Like our hatred of Kikyo. "Good. Good. So, how is school?" "It's going well." "And how is your darling little boyfriend, Inuyasha?" "Oh. Well…we've broken up." "Why? You and him were made for each other!" "That may be, but Inuyasha made his choice by sleeping with Kikyo." "He didn't!" "He did." "I never liked the boy. He was rude all the time." "Yes, he was." I sighed. "Well, if he wants to have that skank Kikyo, than let him have her. You are too good for him." "I know." "So, Kagome, I trust that you will come and visit me soon?" "Of course! I've just been so busy lately. Moving and keeping up with my studies." "Well, when you have some free time I'd like you to come and visit me for a while." "I will. I promise." "Okay. Well, I must go. Promise me you'll call." "I will. Love you grams." "Love you too." She replied. I hung up the phone. I grabbed my sandwich and went into my bedroom. I flipped on my computer and logged on to AOL. I looked at my buddy list. Inuyasha was online. DAMN! I received an instant message from him right away.

Listen, I know your upset and u have every right 2 b, but please can we try and work things out?

No way.

Why?

YOU SLEPT WITH MY STEP MOM!

I know, but I love YOU Kagome!

BULL SHIT!

Please believe me. I am so sorry for what I did.

I will never forgive you. Ever.

I signed off and threw out my un-eaten sandwich. I went back into my room and turned off my computer. I changed into my p.j.'s and crawled into bed.

I awoke the next morning and dressed. I grabbed my backpack and went into the kitchen. Monk was sitting at the table with bags under his eyes. I grinned evilly. "Sheesh, I thought I might go deaf with all that MOANING last night, Monk." Monk went red and coughed up his cereal. "Damn it. Sango thought you wouldn't hear." "HA! I was KIDDING! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!" I laughed, crumpling and laughing on the floor. "So mature Kagome." Sango tisked. I stuck my tongue out at her.

We went to school and I entered class. Koga greeted me. He hugged me and at first it was a little akward, but then I hugged him back. My friends and I all took seats in the back of class and chattered. Inuyasha came into the room. I silently glared at him. He had a single rose in his hands. He walked up to me and handed it to me. I dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. "Go to hell Inuyasha." I growled.

During lunch Koga was all over me. He slid his arm around my waist. Inuyasha stormed over to us. He jerked his fist back and punched Koga. Koga went down. I screamed. I bent down over Koga. He was unconscious. "Koga! Koga! Are you okay?" I asked, shaking his shoulders. Inuyasha yanked me towards him. "Come with me." Inuyasha began dragging me out of the lunchroom. I struggled and tried to wrench my arm away from Inuyasha, but he looked so mad, no one was willing to help me. Except one. Shessahomaru. He strode towards Inuyasha and me. He pulled me away from Inuyasha and put a protective arm around my shoulders. "Get away from her Shessahomaru!" Inuyasha raged. "Leave Kagome alone, Inuyasha." "Since when do you care?" Inuyasha yelled. "Leave Kagome alone." He repeated. Inuyasha reached for me. Shessahomaru pulled me closer to him. Inuyasha shoved Shessahomaru, but he stood his ground and pulled me closer, protecting me from Inuyasha. Inuyasha finally stormed out of the lunchroom. Shessahomaru let me go. "Are you okay, Kagome?" "Yeah. Thanks for helping me." "Anytime." He said, striding away.
