A/N: Thanks again to people who reviewed! I'm glad people like my story. I'm still in the process of writing it, but I have about six chapters ready to be typed. I wanted to clear up something, every time Kagome or her family see Inuyasha, he has a hat on. I'm sure you already know why…but Kagome doesn't.

I'm EXTREMELY SORRY for the looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong update. A lot had been going on, and I just didn't have the motivation to update. But I was reading my reviews and thought, 'I should really update this and soon!' So here I am giving you the next chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha……pulls out explosives But I will….

Marry Me

CH.3: The Fight

By: Ka-Youkai

Inuyasha had his first day of school on Monday. Well, he was just there to see what the school was like. He was going around to the different classes, seeing what they were like, and how the teachers did things. His tour guide was Bankutso, a junior. He had long black hair pulled in a low pony-tail.

He was wearing the boys' uniform, which was a black button-up shirt, and black pants.

He was pointing out people on the basketball court. They were sitting in the middle of the bleachers in the courtyard.

"That's Naraku. He's a senior. That's Kouga, and he's in our grade. Those are my brothers Mukostsu, Ginkotsu, Suikotsu, Renkotsu, and Jakutso. Watch out for him, though," Bankutso said pointing to each one.

"Why?" Inuyasha asked.

"He's gay," Bankutso answered like it was nothing.

"Oh! Well…" Inuyasha was at a lose for words.

"Don't worry, though," Bankutso said.

Suddenly, the two teams on the court stopped playing, and walked over to the bleachers.

"Hey, Bank! Who's the new guy?" Naraku asked as he twirled the basketball on his finger.

"Guys, this is Inuyasha. Inuyasha, these are the guys. Inuyasha is here to check out the school for next year," Bank (funny nickname, right?) explained.

"Where'd you move from?" Kouga asked.

"Hollywood," Inuyasha answered resting his chin on the palm of his hand.

"Oh, so you're the Hollywood boy who moved next door to Kagome…" Jakutso said. Inuyasha just nodded.

"You talking 'bout that hot chick and her preppy sister?" one of the other guys asked.

"She is hot, isn't she? Too bad about that fight she had with her cheerleader sister," another guy said.

"Wait! You saw the fight?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yeah! Practically everyone saw it!" Jakutso said.

Flashback

It was last Thursday. Everyone had filed out to the front courtyard for lunch. All the grades ate together to make it easier on the cooks.

Kikyo was sitting with her normal "popular" group while Kagome sat with her two friends, Rin and Sango.

"I'll be right back," Kagome said standing up from where she sat.

"Good luck," Rin said while Sango nodded in agreement.

Kagome walked over to Kikyo with an emotionless look on her face. "Kikyo…can we talk?"

"Sure, sis! One minute guys," Kikyo said standing up.

She followed Kagome to the extremely old God Tree that stood at the far end of the courtyard.

"So…uh…how ya been?" Kagome asked uncertain.

"Fine…" Kikyo answered confused.

"Oh! That's good…good. So…how's John?" Kagome asked still uncertain.

"Kagome, what's wrong?" Kikyo asked her sister, smiling.

"Kikyo…you see…" Kagome took a deep breath, and said it, "I think you should break up with John."

Kikyo's smile faded. "What?" she whispered. Kagome just looked at her feet.

"Are…are you jealous, Kagome?" Kikyo asked.

"WHAT! NO!" Kagome's head snapped up at the question.

"Are you jealous that I have something you'll never have?" Kikyo said with no emotion.

"Now, Kikyo, that's out of line!" Kagome yelled.

"Out of line! Telling me to break up with John is out of line!" Kikyo yelled back.

"Kikyo! He's not who you think he is!" Kagome yelled.

"What would you know!" Kikyo asked harshly. "I've been with him for almost a month now! I know more about him than you ever will!"

"Would you just listen to me?" Kagome begged.

"I'm listening," Kikyo said crossing her arms over her chest.

"He's not what he seems!" Kagome cried.

"Here we go again!" Kikyo said throwing her hands in the air.

"What do you mean by that?" Kagome asked.

"You said the same thing about Jeremy!" Kikyo said bluntly.

"Kikyo, if it wasn't for me and this feeling…" Kagome looked down at her feet again as she whispered, "…he could've raped you."

"Yeah, well, he didn't! Just because you were right 'bout Jeremy, doesn't mean you are right about John!" Kikyo yelled.

They were both silent until Kikyo spoke.

"When I get home, I'm packing my bags. I'll be staying at Yura's a while. I can't look at you right now," Kikyo said calmly.

"Feh. Like I care," Kagome said crossing her arms over her chest.

"You never cared. You only cared about yourself. You and only you." Kikyo spat.

That's when Kagome got angry.

"Kikyo, you're such a SLUT!" she yelled.

"And you're a BITCH!" Kikyo yelled back, and stomped off.

Kagome fell to her knees, "Happy early birthday, sis."

End Flashback

"Harsh," Inuyasha said looking at Kagome across the courtyard. She was busy spitting her first arrow with another landing them both in the center of the target.

"They haven't talked to each other since then," Naraku said. "Yura says that Kikyo is really depressed when she is home. (At Yura's house, that is.)"

"What's weird is that even though they aren't talking to each other…Kagome still went out of her way to make Kikyo a birthday card," Kouga said as he sat next to Inuyasha.

"I think that sweet," Jakutso said.

"You think a lot of things are sweet, Jakutso," Naraku said shaking head.

Suddenly, they heard Kagome scream, "All right? ALL RIGHT! Do I look all right?"

The guys saw as Kagome broke the arrow she was holding in half. She let the halves fall to the grass. She walked over to the bleachers on the opposite side of the courtyard where the guys were. She sat down, and buried her face in her hands. The girl he saw when she called Kagome on her cell, Sango was it, sat next to Kagome. She was apparently trying to cheer up Kagome.

"Poor thing," Jakutso sighed. "I couldn't imagine having a fight like that with any of my dear brothers."

"I know, 'cuz we always win," Bankutso said.

"What? Puh-lease! You guys don't ALWAYS win," Jakutso said.

"Uh…yeah…we do," Renkotsu said.

"Bu…" Jakutso started.

"Face it, Jakutso…you are too soft. Compared to us…you're a feather," Ginkotsu said matter-of-fact like.

"Someone should go over there, and talk to her,' Kouga said ignoring the brothers. "Inuyasha…why don't you go?" Kouga asked smiling.

"Sure. Whatever," Inuyasha said jumping off the bleachers, and walked over to the two girls.

"What are you planning?" Naraku asked.

"Let's just say that I'm paying Kagome back for helping me," Kouga smiled evil.


Kagome

Kagome buried her face in her hands once again.

"Hey, Kagome. What's up?" a familiar voice said.

She looked up and saw Inuyasha. "Inuyasha? What are you doing here?" Kagome asked surprised.

"I just came to check out the school," he said sitting next to her. Kagome noticed her was wearing blue jeans and a dark blue T-shirt.

"Oh, uh, Sango this is Inuyasha." Kagome said.

"Yeah…we meet over the phone. Hey," Sango said smiling.

"Hey," Inuyasha replied. "So…everything okay?"

"Pretty much except for the fact that my life SUCKS!" Kagome sighed.

"Please, Inuyasha…tell her that her life does not suck," Sango pleaded.

"Sango's right, ya know? Your life doesn't suck. You know what they say when you hit rock bottom…?" Inuyasha said.

"The only place to go is up. Right?" Sango finished.

"Exactly," Inuyasha said.

Kagome sighed, "I guess…"

Sango mouthed 'Thank you' to him. He just shrugged.

"So, Sango, you coming to our barbeque?" Inuyasha asked standing up.

"Sure! If that's okay…" Sango said.

"Of course! Bring your swimsuits, too. We need to break in our new pool," Inuyasha said to the two girls.

"Okay," Sango said happily, but Inuyasha could smell sadness wash over her. He just shrugged it off.

"Well, I gotta get to my next class…sorta speak. Bye," Inuyasha waved to the two as he walked over to the guys.


Inuyasha

"Did I hear correctly? Are you having a barbeque?" Kouga asked stroking his chin with his hand.

"Maybe…you wanna come?" Inuyasha asked.

"Cool. Thanks. You mind if I bring Ayame?" Kouga asked.

"You think Kagome will be alright with that? I thought she didn't like preps," Inuyasha thought out loud.

"She doesn't, but Ayame is the only one who doesn't really "act" preppy. She actually talks to Kagome and her friends," Naraku said.

"Oh…interesting. Sure, you can bring her. Anyone else want to come?" Inuyasha wondered.

"Busy!" everyone else answered.

"C'mon, Inuyasha! Time for Calculus!" Bank exclaimed.

"Why are you so happy?" Inuyasha sulked.

"I'm just happy to be your tour guide!" Bank said happily.

"I'm starting to think your brother's not the only gay one…"Inuyasha whispered.

"Did you say something?" Bank asked as they headed to the doors leading inside.

"No, no! Nothing at all!" Inuyasha said rubbing the back of his head.


Kagome

Kagome was walking down her street as she always did. She sighed. "The last week of school and Mr. Kino gives us a report to do."

Kagome was so bored. She had a long walk ahead of her. Rin had to go home early, so her aunt picked her up. Kagome had been walking for a while when she felt someone following her.

She turned around, but no one was there. Suddenly, she felt an arm wrap around her waist and a hand cover her mouth. She kicked and tried to get away.

"Scream and I'll tell Mom how you set the kitchen on fire making ramen," a very familiar voice warned.

Only two people knew about her setting the kitchen on fire. One was someone Kagome didn't want to think about right then. The stranger let her go.

She turned around, "SOUTA!" she yelled, and jumped into Souta's hug. "I can't believe you're here! Wait…why are you here?" Kagome asked confused.

"Well, you know how I had a full week of exams?" Kagome nodded. "The professors thought that, since everyone did well on them, they'd give us a week off!" Souta exclaimed.

"That's wonderful!" Kagome smiled. "C'mon, I'm sure Mom and Dad will be happy to see you!" Kagome grabbed Souta's hand.

"Here, let me take that," he said slipping her schoolbag off her shoulder.

"Thanks," Kagome said.

"So…what have I missed since I've been gone?" Souta asked.

They started walking down the street to their shrine they called home.

"Nothing much…we got new neighbors, and they invited us to a barbeque after school today," Kagome explained.

"Oh! So that guy you were with was the new neighbor? Is he your new "toy", Kagome?" Souta asked biting back a laugh.

Kagome blushed, and pushed Souta playfully. "NO! What are you talking about?"

"You're blushing, Kagome," Souta said smiling.

"I suggest that you run…brother…" Kagome whispered dangerously.

Souta took off running. Kagome was right at his heels. "Come back here!" she yelled. He was too busy laughing to hear her. Kagome stopped, putting her hands on her knees panting. "Curse him," she panted.

"Kagome, dear, who are you chasing?"

Kagome looked up to see Izayoi and Inuyasha sitting on the porch swing. Inu-no-taisho was leaning against the railing opposite of the two, and Sesshoumaru was leaning against the front door.

'They seem to spend a lot of time together!' Kagome thought. She walked up to the steps, "Oh, just my stupid brother."

"I thought he was in college…" Inuyasha wondered.

"He is. He has a week off," Kagome said not looking at Inuyasha. Of course this didn't go unnoticed by Inuyasha.

Just then, Souta walked up behind Kagome. He was listening to her CD player. "Since when did you start listening to 3Doors Down? And since when can you bring CD players to school?" Souta asked.

"Give me that?" Kagome snatched the CD player and turned it off. "And since when can you just go through my stuff?" she asked stuffing her CD player in her schoolbag. "Souta…these are our new neighbors: The Taishos. Mr. and Mrs. Taisho and their two sons…Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru. This is my idiot brother, Souta," Kagome introduced them.

"Nice to finally meet all of you," Souta greeted.

"Souta, Kagome tells us that you go to Tsuru University," Inu-no-taisho remembered.

"Yes, I do. It's a very good university," Souta said as he leaned his arm on Kagome's shoulder. Kagome just rolled her eyes.

"So, dear, are you coming to the barbeque?" Izayoi asked.

"Barbeque? Kagome never told me about a barbeque," Souta said thinking.

"Yes I did! Plus, I didn't know you where coming. Which reminds me…where are your bags?" Kagome asked.

"I dropped them by the house and then went catch up with some friends," Souta said while Kagome just nodded.

"Kagome, honey, where are you?" Yume called from the shrine steps.

"Over here, Mom!" Kagome called.

"Kagome, what are-…SOUTA! You're back!" their mom yelled surprised. Souta ran to his mom and gave her a hug.

"Kagome, why didn't you tell me your brother was coming home?" Yume asked.

"I didn't know!" Kagome threw her hands in the air and stormed off. She was mumbling to herself.

"What'd she say?" Souta asked.

"You don't want to know," Inuyasha said.

"Well, I wanted to ask when we should come over," Yume said to Izayoi.

"Around 4 would be okay," she answered.

"Okay! We'll be here. C'mon son…I'm sure your farther will want to know that his son is home. I still wonder why Kagome didn't tell us that you were coming…"

"I…DIDN'T…KNOW!" Kagome yelled from her window. She groaned and closed her window.

The two left the family to talk among themselves.

"Hey, Dad. It's possible for someone to be afraid of water, right?" Inuyasha asked

"Yes. Why do you ask, Inuyasha?" his dad answered.

"No reason. Just wondering," Inuyasha said.

"So, Inuyasha, how many people are coming to the barbeque, besides Kagome and her family?" his mom asked.

"Well…I don't remember…" Inuyasha laughed nervously.

"You are truly an idiot, brother," Sesshoumaru snorted.

"Sesshoumaru! Don't call your brother an idiot!" Inu-no-tashio warned.

Sesshoumaru just sighed, and walked over to Kagome's house, and stood under her window. Kagome had just walked past her window when she saw Sesshoumaru.

She walked back over to the window. She opened it, and leaned out the window. "Hey, Sesshoumaru. What's up?" she called.

"It seems that my idiot of a brother had forgotten who is coming to the barbeque," Sesshoumaru said.

"Oh…let's see…Rin, Sango, Ayame, and Kouga. I think that's it," Kagome said.

"Thank you," he said turning to leave.

"No prob," Kagome replied as she closed her window. The family saw her turn on her radio, and start singing as she sat at her desk typing on her computer.

Sesshoumaru walked back, leaned against the door, and repeated the names to his mom.

"I guess I should go to the store," Izayoi said.

"Why, sweetie?" Inu-no-tashio asked.

"There were a few things that I couldn't find yesterday, so I was going to try somewhere else," she answered standing up.

Sesshoumaru moved to the side, so she could get inside. She came back moments later with her purse.

"I'll be right back, boys," she said walking to her red firebird.

The tree guys watched as she pulled out the driveway, and speed down the street.

Sesshoumaru walked down the steps when, "Where are you going, son?" their dad asked.

"Probably to go see his girlfriend, Rin," Inuyasha teased.

"I'm going for a walk, and she is NOT my girlfriend!" Sesshoumaru growled.

"Suuuuure…" Inuyasha smiled as their father just rolled his eyes.
