Chapter Four – Changes In Kagome

Kagome's eyes slowly opened as she began to sit up. Once her eyes were fully opened she gasped at where she was and it took her awhile to remember that she was at the Pit because Inu Yasha had so graciously allowed her to stay.

"Kagome! You're awake!" Shippo exclaimed as he and Koharu walked in through the door (everyone but Inu Yasha, Sesshoumaru, Shiori, and Miroku went back to their homes).

"Hi guys… um do you know what time it is?" She asked as she got up to see if her ankle was any better.

"Oh it's only around noon." Koharu said calmly.

"WHAT!?" Kagome exclaimed. "Oh-my-gosh I'm going to be in so much trouble…" She trailed off as she noticed the confused stares she was getting from Shippo and Koharu.

"Who's making all the racket?" Asked a sleepy Inu Yasha as he emerged from the room he and his brother shared.

"Oh it's just Kagome, she's freaking out just because it's noon." Shippo replied.

"Is that all?" Kagome was shocked at first that these people seemed not to care that school would be over in about two hours, that is until she remembered what they were like and remembered her little plan.

"I usually wake up at this time it's just that today I promised my two friends, Rin and Sango that we would go shopping around this time and now I'm going to be late." She lied as Inu Yasha gave her a suspicious glance but then shrugged it off.

"Oh so that's why you're in such a panic." Koharu said cheerfully. "You should have just said so from the beginning, I'll be more than glad to give you a lift."

"You have a license?" Kagome asked.

"No, not yet but that hasn't stopped me from riding my motorcycle yet." Kagome gave a nervous smile as Koharu grabbed Kagome's hand and began to pull her towards the door. She gave Inu Yasha and Shippo one last glance before they were out of the Pit completely.

"I hope that they'll be alright." Inu Yasha muttered as they walked out the door.

"Don't you worry about them Inu Yasha, it is Koharu after all who's driving." Shippo said happily as he jumped onto the couch and turned on the T.V.

"I guess you're right Shippo." With that Inu Yasha turned around and headed to the bathroom.

"Where you going Inu Yasha?"

"I'm going to get cleaned up and then I'm going to the mall as well."

-------------------------------------

"So where did you promise to meet your friends?" Koharu asked as they stepped out into the bright sunlight.

"Oh um well I'm supposed to meet them at school but could you take me home first so I can get out of my school uniform?"

"Sure." Koharu handed Kagome a helmet to her relief and then sped off down the street. It took them a few minutes to finally arrive at Kagome's house. She told Koharu she'd be right back and ran up the stairs into the house.

"Mom are you home!?" She yelled.

"Kagome is that you?" Miss Higurashi asked as she walked into the room. As soon as she saw Kagome she gave out a joyous cry and embraced her daughter tightly.

"Yeah it's great to see you to mom but I'm kind of in a hurry." She pulled out of her mother's grip and was just about to run upstairs to her room when her mom stopped her.

"Hold it right there young lady. You disappear for the entire night, not even bothering to call, and now you finally come home late in the afternoon and just expect to get off without any punishment." Kagome gave a frustrated sigh. At this rate Koharu would just get fed up with her and leave.

"Listen mom I'm sorry I didn't call you last night but like I said before I'm in hurry so I'll tell you about it once I get back." And before her mom could protest she quickly ran up the stairs and slammed the door to her room. She quickly ran over to her closet and began to rummage through all her old dresses until she finally found what she was looking for. She threw off her uniform and put on her outfit and then looked herself over in the mirror. She was wearing a midnight black halter top with a white fringe, a black rose choker, black hip huggers and black platforms. She had bought that outfit one day at the mall one time after telling her mother that she was going shopping for school supplied, however she never wore it once for fear of what her mother would say, that is not until now.

She grabbed her purse and ran down the stairs; she yelled a quick goodbye to her mother and then ran out the door leaving her mother in shock at the sight of what she was wearing. As Kagome stepped out of the house she was relieved to see Koharu still waiting for her.

"Wow Kagome, you look beautiful and very stylish." Koharu exclaimed as Kagome sat behind her and put on her helmet.

"Thanks Koharu." Kagome replied. Koharu smiled and started up the motorcycle and then quickly rode off into the distance.

"Was that Kagome just now?" Gramps asked as he walked into the room where Miss Higurashi was. However she was still in shock so all she could do was nod her head. "I knew she was all right… my goodness what's wrong with you? You look like you just saw a ghost."

"Gramps I'm going to go pick up Souta now." Was all she said as she slipped into her shoes and walked out the door leaving Gramps in a complete state of confusion.

-------------------------------------

"Koharu you can stop here okay?" Kagome said as Koharu pulled over in front of the school.

"Hey Kagome, maybe next time you could bring your friends over to the Pit? I'm sure everyone would be happy to meet them."

"Sure I'll bring them next time okay, oh and thanks for the ride." Kagome answered.

"No problem, well I'll see you later bye!" Kagome waved goodbye to Koharu until she rounded the corner and then leaned against a nearby tree until the bell rang and all the students came bursting out of the school. When Kagome spotted Rin and Sango she waved at them and ran over.

"Hey Kagome where were you today?" Rin asked as they reached her.

"I skipped classes today." She replied casually.

"Very funny Kagome now where were you really?" Sango asked this time.

"I already told you I skipped okay! It's no big deal it probably won't happen again." Kagome said with frustration in her voice.

"Alright. Calm down it's just unlike you to do something like that that's all, so we'll be seeing you tomorrow okay?" Sango said.

"Actually I was thinking we could go to the mall because we haven't been there in awhile and I need to get some new outfits anyway." Kagome suggested.

"But Kagome, what about helping out the Humane Center today? And you also have your date with Hojo, and by the way what's up with that outfit?"

"What is this twenty questions or something? Anyway the Humane Center has tons of other volunteers and I really never wanted to go out with Hojo, besides I've met someone else who's much cooler and I like what I'm wearing."

"Kagome are you crazy!? Hojo is the coolest guy in school and he really seems to like you how could you even think of chickening out!?" Rin exclaimed. Kagome sighed.

"Listen Rin, it's not chickening out if I didn't even want to go out with the guy in the first place." At this Rin and Sango gasped. Kagome only gave them a weird glance before continuing, "Anyway… like I was saying before I already met someone better then Hojo."

"So this guy, is he your new boyfriend or something?" Sango questioned.

"Well no, I don't actually consider him as someone I would date, but he's way more fun to hang out with than Hojo… so are we going to the mall or what?" Sango and Rin gave each other nervous glances and then looked back at Kagome.

"Okay." They said in unison. Kagome smiled and grabbed each of their arms and began to pull them away. However deep down inside they could tell Kagome was changing.
