New Life

Inuyasha didn't pay much attention to me ever since that whole Sesshoumaru thing. He stayed away from me for a long time. Two months, in fact.
And after Inuyasha not paying attention to me for two months, I changed. A lot.
I cut my hair shorter, which got a little bit more guys looking at me. My clothing style didn't change, but I started wearing wristbands, jelly bracelets, and my balls around my neck. But my appearance wasn't the only thing that changed. I quit my job. I couldn't handle Sesshoumaru awkwardly glaring at me from across the restaurant. It made me nervous. I also had new friends.
Most of my new friends meant nothing to me anymore. The only close ones I still had were Sango and Kikyo. All of my other friends slowly drifted away. Mika got out of the hospital, and we'd hung out a couple times, but she kept going on and on about how she was still fat. And I knew she faked her way out of rehab, just so she could live the normal life of a teenager again. That wasn't the only reason why I stopped being friends with her. Every time we talked, she would get on my case about me not calling her ever. I never called anybody. Not even if they were my bestest friend is the whole world. So one day I sort of flipped out on her and we hadn't talked since.
Sango was just plain creepy. Since she got all hyped up over me kissing Inuyasha, she was very quiet and her number of cuts were increasing, along with trips to the counselor. Her face always had the same look on it. It was like she was bored all the time. She never smiled. Her skin was an unhealthy tint of grey and her eyes were glazed over with thought all the time. Their chocolate color faded into a plain black and her lips lost their color as well. She didn't even bother wearing make-up anymore. She was always complaining, and that was the only thing that ever came out of her mouth. She barely talked anymore. There was no helping her. I knew all she wanted from me was pity. I wasn't going to give it to her. Her life wasn't as miserable as she made it out to be.
There was nothing wrong with Kikyo. She was the same as ever – happy go lucky. She and I were still close, but we both stopped hanging out so much.
My new friends were great, though. Shiori was the girl who rode my bus and was at my bus stop. She and I started talking one day, and we became closer and closer. She was a short girl with huge boobs. Whoa. That was what she was known for. That and her criminal record. She got in a few fights with this one girl. She almost went to jail because of them. She was always blurting out retarded things and she would flip out on anyone who got her mad. She called black people niggers, Puerto Ricans spics, and Chinese people chinks. She was always obsessing over her boyfriend, too. She had a rough exterior, but she was one of the sweetest people I knew.
Rini was the new girl. She moved here from Osaka (A/N: I might have said New York in an earlier chapter, but since Kagome lives in Tokyo, I figured the equivalent accent wise was Osaka). She was always telling us stories of what she used to do with guys back in Osaka. She was a little naughty. But that was cool. She drank alcohol before appearing at dances so that always made it more fun. During recess she would smoke behind the dumpster. She was really sweet, too. She and I were in the same homeroom, so that's how we became so close.
Azusa had a punk rock look to her. She had black hair, so unlike every other girl in school. They were always bleaching it blonde, or dying it brown, or whatever. She always wore band tees. People mistook her for being gothic, but she wasn't She was so nice. She was a little quiet but that's because she was always listening. She was the one who held our group together. She convinced us from not putting lab chemicals in the teachers' coffee. And she was the one who would get us out of breaking into kids' lockers and putting drugs in them. She was awesome.
Mariko was the only gothic person in school. Everyone was so scared of her. I didn't see why. She was really nice. She had just as bad a mouth on her as Shiori. She was the one who was always doing drugs. She had tried every drug out there. Last year she was a model student, bleach blonde hair, popularity. It all went down hill once she started smoking pot. And that's why whenever they offered me any, I wouldn't take it. But damn, Mariko looked like a guy. She got teased about it by us, so she said she had a 20 ft. penis. She was always like saying her dick was cold or it hurt. It was funny. She had a little problem with cutting, though. Who didn't these days? But it didn't matter, because she was still cool.
Out of all my friends, I only told Shiori and Rini about the thing between Inuyasha and me. They were the only ones I could tell! They weren't close to him, or in love with him, or hated him like all of my other friends were. This secret made the three of us very close.
At lunch, I merged my old friends and my new friend into one table. I found myself only talking to my new friends sometimes.
At the bus loading area, I stopped hanging around my older friends and standing completely on the other side laughing with Shiori and Rini while Azusa smiled and Mariko complained about needing a smoke.
The distance between so many friends grew more every day.

"Moshi moshi," I heard my mom say. "Oh, okay, hold on a sec'. KAGOME! PHONE!" She yelled from the kitchen.
"Got it, thanks, Mom. What do you want, Rini?" I said sarcastically.
"Oh, I was wondering if you had any tampons!" Inuyasha poorly imitated Rini.
"Inuyasha! I'm so sorry! I thought you were Rini…"
He laughed. "No, stupid. You know, we haven't hung out in a while, watcha doin' Friday?"
I wondered, "Why is he asking me this? I'm usually the one to ask him." Maybe something was going down with Sukey and he needed to get away? The desperate part of me told me it was because he missed me.
"Um, nothing. What did you have in mind?"
"I don't know. Your mom drives 'cause I have no way to get anywhere. So you choose."
"Well, I've wanted to check out that Laser Dome place. How about that?"
"Sounds great! Why don't you bring someone along so your mom doesn't get suspicious?"
"Okay. Is Rini okay?"
"She won't ask you for tampons?"
"Hee hee. No."
"Okay, it's a date."
"See ya," I said, and hung up.

Friday

"So why are you hanging out with him again?" Rini asked. She knew how much of a jerk he was being to me.
"He asked me to. And I know when he's the one to ask, he means it."
We arrived at his house a little late… That's how we always are. He hopped in the back with Rini and me, but I was expecting him to sit in the front.
The whole way there, he didn't pull one move on me. I was a little surprised.
We opened the doors to see a place filled with millions of kids, small and big. Everywhere you looked there was an arcade game. Straight ahead there was the counter. The left side was where you signed up to do laser tag or Lan Zone. The right side is where you got food/drink and handed the dorky teenage your receipt of tickets to get a lame prize you could've bought at the Dollar Store.
To the right of the snack part, there was a room reserved for parties completely lit in black lights. And in the corner, right outside that room, there was Dance Dance Revolution.
Ever since Christmas passed, I became the DDR queen. I'd gotten all my friends into it, but I was by far the best.
Sure, there was a door leading to the laser tag area, but that was on the other side of the building. My DDR machines were my babies! My babies were calling out to me!
"You guys, we have to play," I said already digging in my shallow pockets for some money.
Rini sighed. "But I suck!"
"Oh well," I handed her the two one-dollar-bills. "Go get some tokens, please!"
Rini snatched the money and headed over towards the machine.
I couldn't take my eyes off the machines. I couldn't wait to kick somebody's – anybody's – ass!
I heard Inuyasha step closer and I felt his hand making its way around my waist. Ugh.
Wait was I to him? A booty call? Did he only want to hang out with me because he knew I was weak enough to let him do it to me? I was frustrated already. My friends were right – I should've told him no when he asked me. But at least I had Rini with me. I could make sure she was around so he wouldn't try and make a move.
Rini came back singing to herself Tommy heavenly6's new single, "Ready?". "Sometimes with my heart I feel like just running away! Doko demo nai doko ka (a/n: I don't care if those aren't the right lyrics… :E)!" Inuyasha heard her singing and immediately backed away, just as I expected.
292929
An hour later we were all tired from playing, and we were out of coins and money.
Rini took a sip of our large, refillable soda and breathed, "So what's next? Your mom said she wasn't coming until eleven. It's only nine now. What are we gonna do 'til then?"
"Psh! I don't know! We don't have any money left, so it's not like we can play laser tag, or arcade games or eat…"
"We could play a game," Inuyasha suggested.
"I just said we're broke!" Rini retorted (Retorted reminds me of retarded… sorry…)
"No! I mean like Truth or Dare or Tag or something!"
"Oh. What about hide and seek? This place is pretty big, so it'd be perfect," I said.
They both nodded. We plated janken to determine who was "it". I got out first, so I wasn't it. Inuyasha lost against Rini.
"YES! I'm not it!" he cheered.
Rini sulked and turned to face to place where two walls met. She started counting aloud.
Inuyasha and I silently searched for somewhere to hide. Sure, the place was big, but we couldn't see any good hiding places.
He pointed to the basketball arcade game. Kids were throwing balls at the moving baskets, missing almost all the shots.
"What about it?" I whispered.
"Under it."
He was right. There was a good space under it to hide. We walked over to it and ducked in the space despite the stares of the kids playing the game.
We snickered as we saw Rini's feet walking around. I felt Inuyasha look at me, but I ignored it.
At one point, Inuyasha put his hang over my own. I felt heat rising to my cheeks. Fortunately Rini came to the rescue and found us.
"So who's 'it' next?" I didn't care who, as long as I wasn't with Inuyasha.
"Well, I saw Inu's little ears first, so he's 'it'!" Rini smiled and pet him behind the ears, which made him not bitch about having to be "it".
As he counted, Rini and I crouched in the Lan Zone. I whispered to her about what Inuyasha had already done. She smiled. "What the hell, Rini! Why are you smiling!"
"Kawaii!"
"Iie!" I growled. "No! He has a girlfriend!"
"So if that's the case, then why were you so eager to come here?"
I was stumped. "Well, we haven't hung out in a while…" I mumbled.
"You still like him."
"No I don't…" I said, but we both knew it was true. He would always be my first love. And even if I love again, he'd still have a place in my heart. I could never hate him, no matter what he said or did or how many times he hurt me.
"I FOUND YOU!" Inuyasha screamed and pointed at us.
Rini laughed and I smiled. "I saw Rini's black sneakers first. She's 'it'!"
Rini winked at me before she started counting. Inuyasha held out a hand to help me up. I took it and smiled.
After what Rini had me thinking, I couldn't take my eyes off of him. I loved every inch of him – his golden eyes, fuzzy ears, broad shoulders, his warm chest, his strong arms… I was falling in love all over again.
I wanted to stop this merry-go-round. I just kept falling in love and falling out of love. I knew it was wrong to like him. If I liked hi, then I'd let him have his way with me, and Sukey would probably find out and slaughter me.
I just had to keep myself under control for tonight.
We walked up the stairs (yes there are stairs… they are near the door where the laser tag area is) to the part of the building where vending machines were. He pointed to a hallway.
"What if it's employees only?"
He snorted. "I don't see a sign."
We walked down it and looked through the windows to see kids playing laser tag.
I felt him looking at me again. I looked over at him and stared at him. The black light was the only thing that provided us with light, and it cast a magnificent glow around him. The light made his hair and eyes glow a strange purple-ish.
I walked towards him, unable to control myself. I was too lost in his gaze to realize what I was doing. He gently put his hands on my upper arms and softly pulled me closer and lightly brushed his lips against mine.
"I'm sorry," he said, and let go of me.
"What? Why?"
"Just—because… I won't do it again… unless you want me to."
(A/n: when this was happening, those were his exact words. O.O)
I grabbed his hands. "I do want you to," I said and leaned into him. He put his arms around me and stroked my back.
"FOUND YOU!"
We both jumped away from each other. "Who-Who'd you s-see first?" Inuyasha stammered.
"Well, I actually saw both of you… should I go again?"
"Uh…"
"Sure!" I spoke up. So Rini started counting…again… I guessed she wanted us to have another moment… She was thoughtful like that.
Inuyasha and I walked back into the main part of the Laser Dome. "Where to now?"
We both looked around but couldn't really find anywhere. All the good spots had been taken. There was a small space in between two vending machines, but Rini was right near them, and she'd hear us squeezing in there. Inuyasha obviously had a good idea because he grabbed my hand and started leading me to the…
…guy's bathroom!
He shoved me in so none of the employees would see a female where only men were to venture. Luckily, no one was in the bathroom but him and me. I observed my gross surroundings. Unlike the girls' bathroom, there were only, like, two stalls. The urinals were stained yellow and the trash was lying lazily on the ground. There was only one sink, which was dripping slowly. It was so nasty.
We stood behind the door hoping nobody would come in. Inuyasha looked at me. I stared up into his golden eyes. He put his hands around my hips and pushed my body against the wall and his own body. He gave me a playful smile before stealing my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck. Our tongues played with each other for what seemed like eons. I accidently bit his lip. "Yeeowch!" he yelped. "A little aggressive, are we?" he taunted.
I stuck my tongue out. "Maybe."
He pulled me into a tight embrace. I closed my eyes while inhaling his intoxicating scent. "Why do you do this to me? You're so beautiful, you smell so good, you have that walk, that talk, that way of turning me on," He whispered. "Why do you put me through so much torture?"
Part of me just wanted to push him away and scream at him. He wouldn't be tortured if he let Sukey go. But that part of me, the violent part, needed to stay hidden behind this mask of happiness that never came off.
"Because," I breathed into his neck, "Suki da."
He smiled. "Suki da yo!"
"Suki da yo!"
"Suki da yo!"
"DAISUKI DA YO!" I screamed and kissed him quickly. "We'd better get out there, or she'll ask for help from an employee. We'll get in trouble!"
We snuck out of there safely, but we hid behind the little wall thing in front of the door and kissed some more. And for a while we just held each other in our arms.
Rini found us again, except this time she caught us hugging. None of us said a word about it, but I could tell by Rini's smile she was just ready to taunt me.
292929
The time flew by, and just after that game of Hide and Seek, it was 11 o'clock. My mom honked her horn as we waited noisily in the doorway.
When we got in the car, Inuyasha couldn't keep his hands off me. His one hand lay on my inner thigh (this was after Rini left, by the way) and his other was all over my neon blue thong. (is neon blue a color? I just chose it…)
We hugged before he got out the car, and he gave me a small peck on the cheek. Was this the start of another fling?
