Chapter 15:

Decision

Kagome entered her classroom together with Sango and Ayame. She sighed heavily as she sat down and waited for her friends join her. Sango and Ayame sat next to Kagome's desk and wondered what was wrong. She seemed concerned about something and was still blushing from when Inuyasha hadn't stop looking at her. Sango took Kagome's hand and felt that it was trembling and felt cold. Sango frowned with concern and turned to Kagome with worry.

"What's wrong Kagome?"

Kagome snapped out of her own thoughts as she turned to Sango looking pale, "It's... Kouga..."

Sango held Kagome's hand tighter, "What did that reckless idiot tell you!"

Kagome stared directly at Sango's eyes, they showed fury and concern, she knew that when Kouga would enter the classroom she was gonna beat the crap out of him.

"I think he likes me..."

Ayame's eyes widened with surprise as Sango stared at Kagome's worried expression.

"What's so bad about it?" asked Ayame turning red with jealously.

Kagome noticed Ayame's reaction and tried calming her down, "It's not what you believe Ayame and that guy is a real pervert..."

Ayame returned to her normal color as she noticed Kagome's sadness reflected in her eyes.

"What did he do?" she asked.

Kagome sighed and covered her face with her hands, "Nothing, forget it. This is so difficult...!"

Kagome felt like crying; it was kind of painful for her to know that Kouga had fallen in love with her and his hitching acts weren't so convincing and bothered her. She knew he would try everything in order to conquer her because that's the way Kouga was; a real playboy. She even wondered why Ayame loved him and because of this she would get jealous and maybe their friendship would be distant. She didn't want that, she only wanted Inuyasha to like her but at these costs it was too difficult for her to stand it and she then noticed it had just started.

Kagome looked up when she suddenly felt some mischievous fingers touching her dark and wavy tail. She turned and saw Kouga playing with her tail happily while smirking.

"hi Kagome." He said in his usual popular tone.

Kagome grunted as she took her tail away from that pervert's grasp.

"Keep your hands off me!" she shouted.

Kouga smiled wider as he sat on top of her desk.

"Why so angry Kagome?" he said with a naughty mode.

"Shut up and leave me alone!" she shouted in defense.

Kouga smirked so wide that his demon fangs were showed as his face approached Kagome's as if intending to kiss her. He took her by the chin and smiled then whispered something in her ear.

"We'll finish our conversation this Wednesday at my house..."

Kagome's eyes widened with fear as Kouga made his distance and then sat back on his desk. Ayame stared in surprise at Kouga and Kagome and at the way he had treated her, now it was official, she didn't like that guy anymore. Sango snarled loudly as she clenched her fist and cursed Kouga but she didn't go kick Kouga's butt because she noticed Kagome started sobbing silently.

Class started and Rin never appeared, that was odd, she was absent for the first time in all the school year! Kagome was always trying to avoid the looks the male students were giving her, somehow they had all fallen in love with her. Sango turned to the peeping toms and shook her fist in warning, after this action they would return to their work sweatdropping.

Kagome sighed and turned to the window and started daydreaming and wondered what was Inuyasha thinking in that precise moment and what he felt about her.

Inuyasha bit his pencil's tip and sighed heavily while looking pensive. He leaned his cheek on his fist and turned to the window not paying attention to Professor Midoriko's class. He was thinking about Kagome. It was strange, he had never imagined he would think about her so much, about her sudden change into a neko-hanyou. He remembered that morning when they met and he had noticed her scent had changed and wondered what she had done and apparently she was nervous to show it. That means that she wasn't sure of what she was doing. He liked her appearance like that, she was like him but there was something he missed, something about her real self. He wanted her to be herself, the same shy human with dark brown locks, maple eyes that drove him crazy, and the warmest and most beautiful smile he had ever seen. That was what he liked about her, why he preferred her a million times more than Kikyou, and most of all, why he loved her.

8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

The school bell rang and all the pupils prepared to leave. Kagome decided she would be the last out and waited with patience until only Sango and her were left in the classroom. Ayame had to leave early that day but before leaving she hugged Kagome and told her to be strong and don't pay attention to the reckless and idiot of Kouga. Kagome was stunned that Ayame herself had cursed Kouga but nodded and thanked her.

Sango put her arm around Kagome's shoulder as they walked silently down the deserted corridor.

"Kagome..." whispered Sango.

"What?"

"Please tell me what is your decision..."

Kagome wondered about Sango's words.

"Decision of what?" asked Kagome blinking.

"Do you want to stay like that?" asked Sango referring to her neko-hanyou appearance.

Kagome turned to the floor sadly while sighing, "I don't know, this is so hard..."

"Kagome, I like how it looks and possibly every male student believes the same..."continued Sango.

Kagome remembered Kouga's words and attitude toward her and Inuyasha's and sighed heavily, "You're right..."

"But that's not you, the only way for you to conquer Inuyasha is by being yourself and no one else. I believe that even Inuyasha himself believes you look better as a human."

Kagome nodded as Sango spoke and pondered about what to do and wondered that if she returned to be her normal self Kouga would stop pestering her and see her as the geek she has always been, that would be great.

" Maybe it is true, Sango-chan..."

Sango smiled proudly.

"Come on Kagome-chan..." whispered Sango as both friends walked down the aisle.

They could hear that there were still students in the school grounds because of all the chatting. Kagome's ear tweaked because of all the sounds around her. The cold breeze blew hollowly and Sango wrapped her jacket tighter around her and Kagome hid her ears under her hood and her tail inside her clothes. Kagome was silent as she wondered if she could tell Sango about Miroku, it seemed as if she knew part of it and maybe that way she would understand of her sudden change and feelings about it. She turned hesitant to Sango and touched her cell phone, then took some air.

"Sango-chan I have something to tell you..."

Kagome turned curiously at her friend and tilted her head in question, "What is it?"

Kagome gulped and put her hands inside her jacket's pocket, "No nothing forget it..."

Sango shrugged slightly as Kagome sighed heavily.

"Well I guess I'm already leaving said Sango glancing at her car. Kagome, do you want a ride?" she said these showing her vehicle's keys.

Kagome shook her head in denial, "No thanks, I'm staying here to think a little, then I'll be heading to Tsubaki's Café."

"Are you sure? Besides you've had enough for one day and now Tsubaki? Come on Kagome!"

Kagome made a fake smile but Sango was not tricked and then she sighed heavily, "Okay, bye."

They embraced each other and then Sango headed to her car while waving. Kagome waved back until the car disappeared from sight. She sighed heavily and sat on a bench while looking at the students that were still there. The majority were chatting while the others bounced basketballs on the ground. She looked around and noticed that no one was looking at her before taking her cellular out and called Miroku.

He appeared thumb-sized and sat on her palm.

" I heard everything about Kouga. What will be your decision?"

Kagome bit her nail, "I don't know what if Inuyasha does like me?"

"What if he does not? Asked Miroku frowning.

Kagome turned to the gray sky thinking about Inuyasha noticing the switch in her scent, "Maybe you are right..."

Miroku stared at his master confused and then she turned down at him.

"I'll tell you tonight..."

Miroku nodded his head and vanished within the cell phone again. Kagome sighed but didn't put the cell phone inside her clothes again. Instead she started writing a message that read:

"Hi."

She received another message that said:

"Hey. Have a nice day?"

It was Dog-boy for Princeton University's Chatting Room from last Saturday. They had been chatting almost all Saturday's night and the complete Sunday. Kagome looked around and at the other pupils that had were using their cellular and wondered which was her secret admirer. She wrote another message and sent it to him.

(A/N): Remember Miko-chan is Kagome.

MIKO-CHAN:

" It was a horrible day at school, what about you?"

DOG-BOY:

"Can't complain. I missed talking to 'ya."

MIKO-CHAN:

"Me too, even we haven't talked in 6 hours."

DOG-BOY:

"Hey I've got a gossip, wanna hear it?"

MIKO-CHAN:

"Sure if it doesn't involve Kagome's appearance I've heard of it thousands of times today."

DOG-BOY:

"No prob. I've heard that Kikyou is jealous of her."

Kagome's eyes widened as she read this last message.

MIKO-CHAN:

"Why?"

DOG-BOY:

"She believes Inuyasha likes her."

Kagome sighed heavily.

MIKO-CHAN:

"Oh really? Do you know what he thinks about her?

Kagome was about to write "me" but remembered she couldn't reveal her identity as she waited anxiously for an answer.

DOG-BOY:

"I'm not sure. He is hesitant of what to think it seems."

Kagome's smile faded.

MIKO-CHAN:

"Really?"

DOG-BOY:

"But it seems he preferred her as how she used to be..."

Kagome was silent and didn't send a response and felt once again like crying.

DOG-BOY:

"Hey, what's wrong?"

MIKO-CHAN:

"Nothing..."

DOG-BOY:

"Hey in order to change of topic, I can't wait for the Halloween Ball don't you? Maybe there's when I'll meet you, right?"

MIKO-CHAN:

"Yes, I guess... I'm sorry but I have to leave."

Kagome stood up and started walking away and before she closed her phone she received another message.

DOG-BOY:

" Ok, but when will I really meet you?"

Kagome sent another message and when she was finished she closed the phone and started walking swiftly away.

A message that read: MIKO-CHAN: "Soon!" appeared on a cellular's screen and then the owner closed its tape and put it back inside his robes. He slowly got up and turned when he heard someone calling his name and saw Kikyou approaching.

"Inuyasha, why are you taking so long?"

(A/N): We finally know who this "Dog-Boy" is. Try and guess who it is (duh!). See ya in the next chappie! ;)
