CHAPTER 12:
THE DAY BEFORE THE PARTY
' Will you come with me to the party on Friday? '
Those words kept going through Kagome's head.She sighs and covers her face with her hands.
"I should go tell Kouga-kun that I can't go with him,....even if it breaks his heart....I can't go to the party with two guys at the same time...,"she said as she stood up from her desk,"I wonder where is his class..."
She was about to go out the door when she saw a small girl standing in front of it.
The small girl was wearing the same uniform as Kagome but her skin was so white that she almost looked like a ghost.Her black eyes were staring straight at Kagome.
"Umm...can I help you?"asked Kagome hesitantly
"Are you.....Higurashi...Kagome?"asked the girl so softly that you can barely hear it.
"Yes......do I...know you?"
"Hey,Kanna,so is this her class?"said another voice as the owner of the voice became visible.It was girl about an inch taller than Kagome,she was holding a fan which she continuously opens then closes it again.
"Eh?"Kagome was really confused now wondering who these people are.
The tall girl noticed Kagome and smirks,"So you're the one going out with Inuyasha,huh?"
' Am I that popular?' thought Kagome as she answered back,"Yes....."
"Nice to meet you,"said the tall girl as she opens the fan and covers her mouth with it,"My name is Kazetsukai Kagura,this one here is my older sister,Mu Kanna."
"N...Nice to meet you,Kagura-san,Kanna-san,"Kagome said as she bowed politely and then stares at them as though waiting for them to continue talking.
"We're Naraku's cousin,"Kagura smirked at Kagome's reaction,"Naraku told us to watch an eye on you.You don't have to worry though,we won't do anything to you.We just came to see how you are like,"she takes a quick glance at Kagome then continues talking,"so it's true.I now know why Naraku wants you.You really look like Kikyou.......except you're much more like the active type."
Kagome glared at Kagura,"Did you come here to say all that?"
Kagura smirked then turns to leave,"Let's go,Kanna.We have no use here now."
Kanna stares at Kagome for a while then follows Kagura out of the door.
Inuyasha came in and looking confused at the two student who just left out of the classroom.He spots Kagome who was sitting on her desk thoughtfully and walks up to her.
"Whats up with those two?Were they looking for Ms.Yura?"asked Inuyasha which Kagome did not respond to his question,"Kagome?"
"Huh?"Kagome looked up and sees Inuyasha,"Oh,Inuyasha!Sorry!I wasn't listening...."
"Is something wrong?"
"Wrong!!?No!Nothing!"Kagome stood up and walks to the door quickly,"I.I just remembered!I need to return some books to the library!"
Inuyasha stared blankly when Kagome left,"How can you return the books when you don't even have it in your hands?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh man......."Kagome was walking down the hallway slowly,"What should I do?"
She let out a huge sigh and bumps into someone.
"Ouf!!"She yelled out and rubs her nose,'Man!I'm always bumping into someone!'
"I hope you watch where you are going this time."
"Huh?"
Kagome looks up to find a tall,handsome man with his long hair braided standing in front of her holding some textbooks and papers between his arms.
"Oh...I'm sorry!"said Kagome and bows down.' I wonder if he's a teacher.It looks like he's not wearing the uniform.'
"Mr.Raijuu!" shouted a familiar voice behind them.
"Oh!Ms.Yura!!"Kagome said in surprise and Ms.Yura walked up to them.
"Oh,Ms.Higurashi,I didn't know you were there."
"Is she your student,Yura?"said the tall man
"I thought I told you to call me by the last name during school hours...,"said Ms.Yura folding her arms.
"Oops,sorry,forgot..."the tall man scratched his head nervously and noticed Kagome staring at him,"Is there something on my face?"
"Heh!?Uh...no!Just wondering if you guys are...."
Ms.Yura smiled mischievously as she wrapped her arms around the tall man's arm.
"Yes,we're going out.This is Raijuu Hiten,"she said as she winked at Kagome,"Mr.Raijuu,this is Higurashi Kagome,my student."
"N..Nice to meet you,"Kagome bowed politely staring at Mr.Raijuu in amazement,"But..I never thought...."
Ms.Yura smiled,"Do you remember what I said about myself going out with this certain boy?"
"E...Eh!?So that certain boy is....."
"Yup!"said Ms.Yura and pulls Mr.Raijuu closer and hugs him tightly,"I was finally able to tell my feelings when I was about your age."
Mr.Raijuu rolled his eyes in embarrassment as Ms.Yura continued talking,"...and guess what!?He liked me ever since too!I was surprise myself,of course."
"Wow...." Kagome said in amazement.' Ms.Yura and Mr.Raijuu,I still can't believe it but they sure make a good couple.Unlike me and Inuyasha,Ms.Yura is always straight towards her feelings and never hesitates.'
Ms.Yura seeing Kagome's expression puts a hand on her shoulder,"Like I said,if you have any problems,just ask me.I'm pretty sure all will go well between you and Inuyasha."
She then smiles warmly towards Kagome who looks at her in surprise.Kagome too smiles and says,"Thank you,Ms.Yura."
"Yura....,"spoke Mr.Raijuu looking at his watch.
"Oh!I forgot!We have a faculty meeting and we're already late!See you again,Ms.Higurashi!" Ms.Yura waves cheerfully at Kagome then walks towards the Faculty Room pulling Mr.Raijuu.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So,Bankotsu!When are we going to start playing with Inuyasha?"asked Jakotsu sitting on one of the rail.
"Chill,man!We still have a lot of time!"Bankotsu answered back who was counting his money
"But I wanna play with him so badly!!!!!!!"
"Bankotsu is right,Jakotsu.We still have a lot of time.We gotta think of some plans before we make our move," said a bald head guy.
"Awwww,don't tell me you're the same as Bankotsu,Ren-chan!!"wailed Jakotsu
"What the heck is Ren-chan?...Anyways!We need to know what kind of person Inuyasha is like.We can't just attack him without knowing his strength.He'll just kick our butts back,"the bald head guy said as he pinched Jakotsu's cheek angrily.
"Owowow!"shouted Jakotsu and he hid behind a guy with sort of a wavy hair,"Help me,Su-chan!Ren-chan is teasing me!"
"Stop with the Su-chan thing will ya,Jakotsu!?...Come on,Bankotsu.Renkotsu has a point too but I'm starting to get bored just waiting.I'm gonna die of boredom sooner or later.Lets just burst into that guy's class and kick his ass!"
"You think so,Suikotsu?"said Bankotsu as he scratched his chin and thought for a while,"Well,we still gotta wait for orders from Naraku."
"Naraku,again!?Dammit,now I really wanna kick that guy's butt!"said Jakotsu
"......Kick whos butt to say?"
They all looked back at the voice.It was Naraku.
"N...Naraku!!?"shouted Jakotsu,tho color of his face draining away as soon as he saw him.
"Yo,Naraku!What's up!" Bankotsu said with his usual expression.
"I came here to give you some useful information relating to Inuyasha.....",Naraku glares at Jakotsu who hides behind Suikotsu,"but it seems you are not fit for this job already."
Bankotsu smirks as he folds his arms,"You don't have to worry about that.Jakotsu,here,was just playing around.Weren't you,Jakotsu!?" Jakotsu looks up and nodds his head hesitantly,"See?So,whats this information,you talking about?"
"Hmph......,"Naraku turns to face Bankotsu,"I believe you all know Inuyasha is with this girl called Higurashi Kagome?"
"Yah,the one you're after right?"interrupted Bankotsu,scratching his head.
"It seems there is some sort of break between them now,you can use this as your advantage."
"You mean that you want us to use Higurashi Kagome as a bait to lure Inuyasha,right?"
"I also heard Houshi Miroku is having this certain party at his residence."
"Houshi Miroku?"
"He's Inuyasha friend,according to my information.And about this party,everyone is invited so we don't have to worry about sneaking in,"Renkotsu spoke up.
"Wow!A party!?I sure hope Inuyasha is going there!!"shouted Jakotsu in excitement
"So what do you want us to do there,Naraku?Ruin the party?"asked Bankotsu
Naraku smirked,"If you want to take it that way."
Bankotsu smirked back,"Well guys!Its time to take out our best suit from the closet.It's party time!!"
