CHAPTER 7:





KAGOME AND INUYASHA ARE OFFICIAL COUPLES!!!?



"Did you hear?Higurashi Kagome is going out with that Ayakashi Inuyasha."

"Really?But I thought Inuyasha still likes Kikyou?"

"I don't know."

"But from what I heard,Kagome is like a replacement of her."

Rumours about Kagome and Inuyasha spread around the school like a forest fire. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kagome-chan!Is it true that you're going out with Inuyasha!!?"

"Eh?"

Kagome and Sango were both eating lunch outside the building under a tree.

"Wh..Where did you hear that from?"Kaome asked as she sweatdropped.

"You don't know?Everyone in school knows about it..."said Sango

"Eh!!?Really!!?H..How!!?"said Kagome as her faced turn bright red

"Well.....is it true?"Sango asked curiously

Kagome nervously twitched her fingers.It seems she was hesitating to answer the question.

"Ummm....,yes,it's true."

"Why!?You know that he's still in love with Kikyou!!Are you just going to let him be a two-timer!!?"

"Of course,I know.And it's not like I'm really going to be his girlfriend.I'm just a replacement of Kikyou,okay?"

"Why would you do something like that?"asked Sango

"Well,.....I kinda have a debt for him for saving me and he's not a bad guy after all.I don't want him to be lonely."

"Kagome-chan...."

"And besides,in exchange I go out with him,he said that he'd protect me from Naraku no matter what."said Kagome and winked at her.

Kagome then proceeded on eating her lunch.Sango stares at her worriedly.

"Kagome-chan,if you need help,just ask me.I'll do anything I can to help you."

Kagome blinked her eyes in surprise but then smiles happily.

"Thank you,Sango-chan..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I've heard you are going out with Kagome-sama..."said Miroku

He and Inuyasha were at the roof top of the school.Inuyasha was laying down under the fence while Miroku was looking down at the school grounds.

"Yeah and?Jealous?"Inuyasha answered rathered coldly

"Ha,that was funny,Inuyasha.I have my eyes set on another person already.."answered Miroku

"Heh heh,is it that Taijiya Sango?You're always looking at her with this wierd expression."

"You noticed?"

"Of course,who do you think I am?"

Miroku smiled and looked at the sky.

"Inuyasha...."

Inuyasha looked his friend's sudden changed of expression.

"I don't know what you're thinking.But if this going out with Kagome-sama thing relates with Kikyou,.....then it is better that you stop this."

"Huh?What are you talking about?Are you joking?"

"I am not joking around,Inuyasha.This is serious.Look,what if you start having feelings towards Kagome-sama?What if Kikyou really comes back?Who are you going to hurt?Is it Kagome-sama or Kikyou?Who do you think?"

Inuyasha becomes silent and stares at Miroku's serious expression."There's no reason for you to hang around people's bussiness.I can solve my own problems."

Miroku sighs and walks towards the door."Oh Inuyasha,....someday....you will regret what you're doing now.And if you're going to protect Kagome- sama,be sure that you will.And make sure you don't make her cry."

"Feh!Shut up and just go back to your class!"

Miroku smiled innocently and then closes the door behind him.

Inuyasha was standing alone on the rooftop.He stares at the door Miroku just went out and sighs.He leans on the fence with his face facing the ground.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sesshoumaru was walking down the hallways when he saw a group of girls whispering something.

"Did you hear?Ayakashi Inuyasha is going out with Higurashi Kagome!"said one girl

"Really?That girl who looks like Kikyou?"said another

"Yes!Her!I also heard that she got attacked by Naraku!"

"Naraku again!?Why does he have to come in!!?"

Sesshoumaru stares at the group of girls but then decided to walk away.

' So.....Inuyasha has chosen another girl as his mate,huh?Higurashi Kagome...' he stopped in his tracks and looks out the window," Kagome.....,I've heard of that name before.But where?"

He stares out the window for a while and then closes his eyes,' Never mind.It is none of my bussiness.I don't need to get involved with Inuyasha's mating plan.'

Sesshoumaru then walks away towards the library.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome was walking towards the library holding a stack of books.

"Oh god,why do I have to return these books for those lazy bums!" Kagome complained as she goes into the library.

Just a minute ago, she was stopped by some group of seniors who just happened to walk pass her.

**Flashback**

"Hey girl,can you do us a little favor?"said one of them as he held out a stack of books.

"Can you return these books for us?It's over due but it'll just only cost a dollar or two.."said another

"I'm sorry but I have to go to my next class..."said Kagome and was about to walk away

Another one of them blocked her way.

"You're a freshmen,aren't you?Don't tell me you're not going to listen to us,seniors.Come on,it'll just take a few minutes,that is.....if you want to get hurt."

"Uh...Ummmmm...."

**End of Flashback**

Kagome sighs as she puts that stack of books down on the counter.She looked around the library since this was her first time going in.

' This place is bigger than I thought....'

She suddenly spotted someone familiar sitting on one the tables reading a book.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sesshoumaru was reading a book when he felt someone standing in front of him.

"Looks like we meet again..."said the person

He looks up to see a girl who he seems familiar smiling down at him.

"............"

"Can I sit here?"asked the girl pointing to the chair across him.

"......Sure...."

The girl with shoulder length black hair sat down and stares at him curiously.

"....Can I help you?"asked Sesshoumaru boredly

"Huh?Oh!Sorry!" the girl said and smiles again.

' How can she keep smiling like that?' thought Sesshoumaru

"Do you remember me?"asked the girl pointing to herself

"..........."

"I'll take that as a no.Well,that's okay.We only met once.Shall we introduce ourself again?My name is Higurashi Kagome.You are Ayakashi Sesshoumaru right?"

' So this is Higurashi Kagome....yes,I remember her now.So she is the one who Inuyasha has chosen to mate with....'Sesshoumaru thought as he stares into Kagome's face.

"...yes.."answered Sesshoumaru and then continued reading his book.

"The violin you played last time....it was really good.How do you play like that?"asked Kagome and smiles at him again.

"That is just nothing...,"replied Sesshoumaru boredly

"Oh,so you think everything is so easy to you.Well,...there is no such thing as a complete perfect person,you know?"

".....I was taught to be perfect unlike my stupid,idiotic brother.He is a shame for our family...."said Sesshoumaru although not removing his eyes from the book.

"......Why are you two fighting?Is it because you're half-brothers?What's wrong with being half-brothers?"asked Kagome

Sesshoumaru who was starting to get annoyed by this conversation stood up from the table and starts walking away.He turns around to Kagome glaring at her,"It is none of your own bussiness.I have no reason for you to talk about my family."

"Eh?Wait!Sesshoumaru!!"Kagome yelled out at him but he has already left the library.

She sighs and places her hand on her chin,' The only relationship between them from what I see is their stubborness.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Kouga,"said one boy with a mohawk hair-style,"Did ya hear?Inuyasha is going out with another woman."

"Oh yeah!I've heard of that!I also heard that she's been attacked by Naraku!Do you think Naraku likes her too?"said another with silver short hair and some part of his front hair is black.

"....Hmmmm...." said a boy who looks like the head of this gang,"...and what's the name of this girl?"

"Uhh....I think I heard it was Higurashi Kagome....." said the boy with mohawk hair.

"Okay then,"said the head boy and smirks,"Ginta!Hakkaku!Bring this so called Kagome- girl to me."

The bell rang and the students all headed towards their classes.
