Chapter Six
Disclaimer: Inuyasha is already owned.
Weeks passed quickly, too quickly for Kagome's taste. Today was Saturday, the day Kagome had been dreading all week. Everyone was in their room getting ready. At eleven o'clock, they came out and met in the living room.
Sango wore a white shirt that was baggy with a black bra underneath that showed pretty well through her shirt. Instead of wearing her usual baggy pants, she wore a black skirt that went a couple inches below her butt with white frillies around the hem to her knees. She wore black leather combat boots that were two inches high. Sango had her normal makeup which consisted of pink eye shadow and clear lip gloss with her hair down in waves flowing down her back.
Miroku wore something plain. Violet shirt and blue baggy pants with his cloth and prayer beads over his cursed hand, which Kagome has yet to see how Miroku uses it. His hair was in his usual rat tail ponytail and he wore his worn out Nikes or were they Vans? Who the hell cares what a guy wears on his feet as long as he's wearing something.
Inuyasha…um…he wore clothes. Yep! Guess what these clothes were….Yep, a red shirt that fit his nice muscled chest quit nicely with dark blue, black baggy pants with a silver and gold chain on each side. His hair was held back in a low ponytail so that when he ate like a pig, it wouldn't get into his food or stuck down his throat…like that moment when he was… He also wore shoes but these shoes were not worn out and you could actually tell what he was wearing which were a pair of black and white -or was it silver?- shoes.
The last of the group was the most prettiest of them all, Kagome. Do you know why? She wore her usual clothes, deciding that dressing into a nice pair of clothes was pointless. She wore a white tank top with a black sweat jacket, which she "borrowed" from Inuyasha, with her red and black baggy pants with a silver chain hanging from the side. Her hair was done in a high ponytail, her very long bangs that could almost go in a ponytail, hung down nicely around her angelic face. Her makeup consisted of black eyeliner and a touch of red lipstick with clear lip gloss on top.
Since her friends do not know Kagome or Inuyasha were hanyous, they taped their ears down, much to Inuyasha's displeasure, and cut his long nails. They also bought Kagome contacts so they didn't notice the eye color change and thought up a story about their sharp canine teeth and her silver-streaked hair. Once they were all finished, Sango noticed they had to do something about Kagome's tail so she took it and wrapped it around her waist making into a belt also making Kagome really uncomfortable.
"Well today is the day." Kagome said in a commanding tone of voice, looking at everyone.
"Yep, so let's go!" Sango yelled hyperly as she grabbed her purse then Miroku's arm and pulled him out the door.
"Everything will be fine." Inuyasha said sensing her uneasiness. He walked over to her still body, taking her hand which caused her to jump. "I'll protect you if anything happens."
"Thank you Inuyasha."
"No problem wench."
"Inuyasha! You ruined the moment!" Kagome pouted.
"Oh, so that means your falling in love with me huh?" He asked as they began to follow Sango and Miroku, still holding hands.
"Uh…no." She said, reverting her eyes away from him.
"Ouch! That hurt Kagome. That really hurt." He said as he placed his hand over his heart.
"Sorry luv but that's the way it is."
"You'll fall in love with me."
"You're sure about that?" She almost whispered.
"Positive." Inuyasha said as they finally caught up with Sango and Miroku on the side walk.
"What the hell are you two fighting about now?" Sango asked taking in a deep breath.
"Oh nothing important, right Kagome?" Inuyasha asked tightening his hold on her hand.
"Right Inu-chan!" Kagome replied cheerfully then soon went into a fit of laughter when she saw the scowl on his face. "Oh stop that!" She managed to choke out, holding her sides with the un-held hand.
"Feh!"
"Are you two going out or something?" Miroku asked.
"Why do you ask?" Kagome asked tilting her head to the side in confusion.
"You two are holding hands."
"So are you and Sango."
"Yes but we are going out." Miroku answered without hesitation while Sango blushed a bright red.
"What!" Both Inuyasha and Kagome yelled. "When!"
"The day after we went to the mall. The one when he asked me in the mall didn't count…and obviously you two didn't think so either." Sango answered blushing a deeper red, glaring at the two of them.
"When were you two planning on telling us!" Kagome asked as she let go of Inuyasha's hand to fix the tape.
"Uh…never. We actually hoped you'd figure it out sooner."
"Hey! We are not stupid!" Kagome shouted then began to blush when people around them began to stare at them. "Ok, maybe I am." She muttered.
"You're not stupid. Those people are just nosy." Inuyasha assured her, giving the people a glare.
"Thanks, Inuyasha."
"No problem." After five minutes of walking, they finally made it to the restaurant that they were suppose to meet Kagome's friends at.
"Kagome!" A girl yelled, running over to the group with a huge smile on her face which creeped Inuyasha out.
"Eri!" Kagome asked as she then embraced the happy girl.
"That's me!"
"Where's everyone else?" Kagome asked looking behind Eri to try and find her other friends.
"They all couldn't make it except one." She replied with a smirk.
"And who is that?" Kagome asked suspiciously.
"Higurashi!" A boy with brown hair called as he made his way to the group, his one hand held up near his face waving.
"Hojo of course!" Eri replied happily, clapping her hands together with a small jump on her toes.
"Oh great!" Kagome mumbled so no one could hear, but Inuyasha did since he gave a soft chuckle. "Hojo! How are you?" Kagome asked in a fake cheerful voice.
"I'm fine, you?" Hojo asked as he pulled her into a hug.
"Fine." Kagome pulled away then glared at Inuyasha who began to growl.
"Feh." Inuyasha answered, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Oh my god!" Eri screamed but not loud enough to have everyone in the restaurant turn their way.
"What?" Kagome asked.
"Your hair!"
"You like it?"
"No way! You have to get it fixed! The silver in your hair makes you look old! Also a demon!" She said shrilly as she began to lead the group to a booth.
"I think it looks great, Eri. Well Higurashi, are you going to introduce us to your new friends?" Hojo asked taking a seat next to Eri.
"Oh! Yeah! They are Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha." Kagome said, pointing to each of her friends as she said their name.
"Hello." Sango and Miroku said, taking a seat next to Eri.
"Hello." Eri and Hojo said simultaneously. The two then turned to Inuyasha for a reply who sat on Kagome's left and Sango on her right.
"Will you stop looking at me!" He snapped, making everyone at the table jump up in surprise.
"Sorry." They mumbled.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome hissed.
"What!"
"Oh never mind! You're hopeless!"
"But that's the way you like me isn't it?" He asked cockily.
"You two are going out?" Hojo asked in a hurt tone of voice, his eyebrow rose.
"Yes." Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango said together.
"No!" Kagome shouted seconds after.
"Uh? Is it yes or no?" Eri asked.
"Yes/no." Kagome said no, while Inuyasha said yes. They both glared at each other. Inuyasha then snickered. "Aww! Come on Kagome! We won't tell them what we do late at night."
"Nani!" Kagome shouted, her eyes wide in shock.
"What do you two do at night?" Hojo asked earning a kick from two people on the opposite side of him.
"Oh lots of things." Inuyasha said, putting his arm around Kagome's shoulder.
"Oh." Hojo looked down in sadness. He had always had a crush on Kagome since he first met her but never had the courage to go up to her and ask her out. He was always wondering if she was into guys since she seemed to walk away from any guy related talk or when she turned down every single guy who asked her out. That was mostly the reason he never asked her out, he was afraid of being rejected.
"Inuyasha! We are not going out!" She hissed, shrugging his arm off her shoulder. "We're just close friends. That's all."
"Oh, then why don't you go out with Hojo?" Eri asked placing her hands under her chin.
"Eri! Please stop it! I'm not ready yet!" Kagome cried.
"Oh, come on Kagome! It happened so long ago!"
"If it happened to you, you probably wouldn't want to go out with anyone anymore or even think about…that! Or even hang around guys!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha gave her a look, telling her she was lying mostly but she shrugged it off.
"Then it must have not been that bad since you are!" Eri yelled back.
"Shut up, Eri!" Kagome jumped out of her seat and glared down at her. Eri and Hojo gasped loudly. The tape that held Kagome's ears down had fallen off showing her triangular ears. Her tail also came loose, swishing slightly, happy to be out of the clip.
"Oh my god Kagome! You're a demon!" Eri cried, her hand shooting to her mouth, her eyes wide in horror.
"She's only half." Hojo said.
"How is she only half? I smell all demon blood in her." Inuyasha said, growling at Eri.
"You can tell by her ears and the all demon smell is because all half demons that are females smell like demons so they do not get hurt…I think that is why. Well that is what my father has told me."
"Still don't get it." Inuyasha replied with swirly eyes.
"I think we should get going." Kagome said abruptly. "See you later guys." Kagome left the table then out the door. Miroku and Sango smiled apologetically then left to catch up with Kagome. Last to leave Eri and Hojo was Inuyasha who took his bandana off then growled at them louder. Once the two winced, he ran after his three friends.
"Yo wench! Wait up!" Inuaysha yelled as he neared them. Kagome stopped but didn't turn around. "Kagome?" He asked with uncertainty as he smelled salt coming from Kagome telling him that she was crying. "Kagome, please don't cry!"
"Inuyasha?" She asked, turning around to show him her tear streaked face. "Is this how it feels to have people around you make fun of you because you are a hanyou?"
"A bit yeah but they were never my friends and it is a lot worse." Inuyasha took a step forward, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulled her body against his making her tense up but then relax slowly against him.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome mumbled against his chest.
"Yeah?" He asked softly, his left hand brushing through her hair slowly.
"You're the first guy I've touched besides the men in my family for nearly ten years now."
"Come on Sango. I think they need to be alone." Miroku whispered in to her ear, pulling her gently away.
"Alright. Wanna go to the arcade?" Sango asked as they walked away.
"Sure!"

Back to the two hanyous

"Why is that?" Inuyasha asked pulling Kagome closer to him if that was even possible.
"M-m-y moth-ers-s boy-boyfri-ien-d-d r-rap-p-ped me!" Kagome choked out then began sobbing loudly.
Inuyasha gasped loudly, his eyes wide open as he just held her tightly in his arms. He was at a loss of words. Instead of talking, he growled angrily as a couple of curses come out of his mouth. He soon stopped since the growling seemed to make her cry louder. Inuyasha sighed then leaned down towards her ear and began to purr.
This seemed to help quite a bit since she stopped crying and also began to purr back. After getting strange looks from humans and coos from demons AND the noise from Inuyasha's stomach telling him that he was hungry, they stopped and pulled apart a bit.
"Hee, guess I'm kinda hungry." Inuyasha said, blushing a bit as he scratched the back of his head nervously.
"Wanna go out to eat or go home and I'll make a sub kinda sandwich?" Kagome asked, wiping her tears away.
"How well do you make sub kinda sandwich?"
"Pretty damn good. Almost like the ones made at the deli."
"Then I'll take the deli sandwich." Inuyasha said with a smirk.
"Then deli sandwich it is!" Kagome grabbed his arm and began to pull him back to their dorm.
"Hey! I still need my arm!" Inuyasha yelled.
"No you don't. Some people have no arms and they manage just fine."
"Feh."
"See! I'm right!" She cheered as they walked into their dorm, then released his arm, making her way to the kitchen to start on lunch.
"Feh. Stupid wench." He muttered as he sat down at the counter.
"And you're a stupid bastard." Kagome said opening the fridge taking out cold cuts, lettuce and tomato.
"One week has past." Inuyasha said happily, changing the subject.
"So?"
"Remember the bet?" Kagome stopped what she was doing and went wide eyed. "So you do! So when would you like to go out?"
"Inuyasha listen. I don't like you that way and neither do you so why don't we just pretend like the bet never happened ok?" Kagome asked as she began to continue what she was doing.
"I don't like you! Are you that dense!" Inuyasha nearly yelled. Kagome dropped her knife and again looked wide eyed at Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha. We can't, I'm sorry." She told him softly.
"Why not?" He asked stubbornly with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Because I've never… never mind." Kagome picked up the knife and began to cut the tomato quickly.
"You never what? Kag-chan, please tell me!" Inuyasha pleaded.
Kagome slowly placed the knife on the table and turned back to Inuyasha looking him in the eyes seriously. "I've never liked any guys besides my relatives my whole life."
"Why can't you give me a try! I know I'm not a relative but do you want people making fun of you because of incest! Are you still scared of what happened when you were little?"
"Don't you get it! It's been nearly ten years since I was raped so I'm over that!" Kagome yelled angrily at him.
"Then what is it!" He yelled back, slamming his hand on the counter.
"I'm into girls!" Just then Sango and Miroku entered the kitchen with eyes now as big as watermelons, similar to what Inuyasha's eyes now look like. "Are you happy now Inuyasha! Are you happy that you finally know the truth!" Kagome yelled with tears streaming down her cheeks like streams.
"Kagome…I'm sorry." Inuyasha said softly.
"Whatever. Make your own sandwich. I'm going to bed." Kagome walked quickly out of the kitchen then to her room, slamming the door when she was out of the way to do so then flopped onto her bed where she cried herself to sleep.

"Whoa." Miroku was the first to speak after the full twenty minutes of silence since Kagome left them passed.
"It must be hard on her." Sango softly said.
"Yes it is. Especially since many people are against that kind of thing."
"The woman who I fell in love with, likes the same sex as she?" Inuyasha asked softly, his eyes unfocused.
"I'm afraid so my friend." Miroku said.
"I need to go…and think." Inuyasha stood up and slowly walked to the door. "Be back soon." He opened the door and walked out, closing the door softly behind him.
"Maybe we should cancel the arrangements." Miroku suggested as he wrapped his arms around Sango's waist.
"No, they should know. They need it anyway." Sango said looking towards Kagome's door
"I'll go tell the school about it. I'll be back soon." Miroku kissed her forehead then left the dorm the same way Inuyasha did, leaving Sango behind to clean up the mess that Kagome left.
