The Shimotos Boarding School

Disclaimer: What do you think, people who actually read and review this story... Should I own Inu-Yasha? If you want to see some Inuyasha and Kagome make-out action you probably would want that, but if you want to preserve the awsomeness in the story, I would say no.

Chapter Twelve: Scar's Don't Disappear

XXX

Warm water caked the mirror with a smoky residue. Taking a washcloth, Kagome whipped as much of the mist off that she could, but as she was rewarded with her own reflection, she could do nothing but stare in disgust.

Ever since she had gotten the not about Miyuki, she had barely said a word to anyone. Even after Inuyasha and Miroku had come back with them to the room, completely proud of themselves and rather snotty about beating Kouga's ass in at the basketball game, Kagome found her spirits where going to have trouble lifting this time.

She guessed that either Sango or Rin had warned the guys not to say anything, because they had yet to comment about her dismal appearance.

Focusing and blurring her vision, she felt her self reminisce slightly too when Inuyasha was running around without a shirt on. She could still see every slight curve of his smooth and firm stomach, every contracting muscles on his strong but so gentle arms... shaking her head slightly, she gently sighed.

She didn't deserve him.

Staring at her boring eyes with large black bags under them she forced her self to look away. As she look towards her hands she saw so many cuts, mostly all relatively new, and let her fingers glide across them. Some were self inflicted; some were from when she jumped out of Naraku's window. Sighing once more she walked over to the scale Sango bought long before Kagome had gotten there.

Dropping her towel, she hesitantly stepped on.

Large warm salt tears began to fall down her cheeks as she saw the meter dash from 104 to 112. Taking a gasp for air she stepped off and let herself fall to her knee's, clutching herself for support. What her dream-Akira and dream-Inuyasha had told her was true...

"Fat. Fat. Fat..." She whispered to herself. Looking up in the mirror, she groped around for the towel she had previously discarded and used it to wipe away her tears. Standing up, she took another large breath and hesitantly opened the door to both her and Sango's room.

Sango was leaning towards the back wall, staring intently at the mural of the group together. She had one of her art shirts on that had splatters of paint on it, and a bottle of red spray paint in her hand. Kagome stepped forward a little, and Sango turned around smiling.

"You like?" She asked.

Kagome felt a smile grace her lips. Just a little smile, but Sango didn't miss it. Sango had not only completed the Rin that she had been adding for a while, but she had also put a little Kikyo, smiling with a cigarette and a rose in her hand. Under the picture of Kagome (Inuyasha was placed right next to her), she had painted a little heart that had wings. The wings had little thorns on them, but it was a very urban design and damn pretty.

"Wow." She said, a bit miffed that her best friend could draw so damn well and she couldn't. Kagome's eyes went a little softer. "It's awesome, San-Chan."

"Arigato!" Sango cried, giggling like a school girl. When Kagome had come out of the bathroom looking like she was about to break, Sango had made herself extra happy so that she could try and cheer her best friend up.

Sango had been so worried about Kagome and had heard the sounds of Kagome's sobs in the bathroom. Even now she could see that Kagome's eyes were puffy red. Walking over to her half-naked friend, Sango gave Kagome her best smile, but knew that Kagome could see right through it.

Dropping the smile slightly, Sango let her head rest on Kagome's shoulder and grabbed her arm that was still moist from the shower.

"Kag, are you ok?" She asked.

Kagome nodded, but knew Sango couldn't see it so she added, "Yah, San. I'm fine."

Sango tightened the grip on Kagome's arm and lifted it up. "Then what are these?" She asked, very softly.

Kagome looked at her own naked arm filled with her own self inflicted strawberry gashes. She felt her own eyes divert because of the shame she felt. She felt like a little child being berated by her mother because she stole candy from the store. She felt Sango drop her hand from her arm and give her a worried look.

"It helps take the edge off, you know." Kagome said, trying to explain, but knowing that she could never explain in words what it felt like.

Sango gave a soft nod.

"I've been worried about you, Kag. Everyone has. You've barley been eating and now you so thin, plus your doubling your usual amount of drugs, and now this... Kagome, you have to take better care of yourself."

Kagome felt angry at Sango for a moment. Who was she to tell Kagome how to live? Then, she let that anger dissipate as she saw the honest look in Sango's eyes. It was pure worry. Smiling, she reached her hand up and let the pad of her thumb rub under Sango's left eye. "You got some pain on you." She said, smiling.

Sango gave a little brighter smile and both girls hugged each other.

They heard a slight knock on the door and looked over to see Rin's face in the frame. Smiling slightly Rin cried out, "Oh my god! Sango, Kagome! Two females should not be doing that!!!"

They heard the sound of the sofa falling backwards and the cries of Miroku and Inuyasha screaming, "Huh! What position?!"

Rin entered the room, closed the door, and locked it before either male could get through. Both Sango and Kagome laughed out loud at this and Sango let Kagome go so she could get her clothing on.

As Kagome rummaged through her closet, both Sango and Rin sat on Kag's bed.

"Inuyasha really messed up. He looks like he hasn't slept in days." Rin said softly, knowing Kagome couldn't here them because Sango had turned on the CD player. The song "Whore" by Kitty smashed their ear drums.

Sango nodded. "Yeah, he is really fucked with worry because of this whole thing. He really cares a lot about Kagome. More than I've ever seen him care about someone."

"You think he loves her?"

"No doubt."

Kagome stepped in the room now wearing her black slipknot sweatshirt and a pair of tripp pants. She only had socks on at the moment and was currently throwing her hair into a loose ponytail. "We talking about bands? Personally, I think No Doubt really sucks!"

Both Rin and Sango laughed at Kagome's interpretation of their conversation. "Naw." Rin said, leaning back against the wall. Kagome noted how much she was starting to look like them. She was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a black hoodie with a large slash in the front. To keep the slash semi-closed she had stuck a large safety pin through it. She was also wearing a pair of yellow DC's.

Sango leaned back next to her and lit a cigg. Rin looked over. "What kind is that?"

"Newport."

"Yuck. I only smoke Turkish Royals or Marb Lights."

Kagome nodded. "Sango has always loved more of the Newport/Basic type smokes. She can even smoke straight camels if she wants to."

Rin got a look of disgust on her face. Sango glared at them. "Hey! Camels' give you big ass buzzes with only a couple drags! Leave me be!!" Both girls giggled and Kagome reached over for a smoke.

"Anyway," Rin said in a laid back tone, "Me and Sango were just talking, and we think you and Inuyasha should sneak out and see a movie."

Sango nodded, liking the way Rin white-lied, "Yah, he had been really worried about you and I think it's high time you get your ass out of this place for the night."

Kagome smiled.

"That might not be so bad."

Sitting on the bed all three were startled by a sudden noise emitting from the bathroom. Looking over they saw that Miroku had fallen out of the door with Sesshoumaru and Arashi in tow. Arashi had a small hand-held camera in tow.

All the girls scowled and walked over.

"And what do you think YOUR doing?" Sango said, stepping on Miroku's hand. He gave a small whimper.

"Well, we heard there were naked lesbians!" Arashi cried, trying to smile and pose innocent.

Rin rolled her eyes. "You hallows a little crooked there, Arashi-san."

He laughed nervously and Miroku and Sesshoumaru followed the suite. Kagome gave a small smile.

"Just wait until Nona finds out about this."

Their smiles dropped.
