RECAP CHAPTER 20
Room
Right when I got home, I had given a 411 to Sango and Yuri on what had happened and then taken a long, hot bath. Mama, Ji-chan, and Souta had gone to sleep a while ago.
I jumped into my bed and shook the tangles out of my wet hair.
Sometimes, Sesshoumaru could be so ... romantic and awe striking. Makes me just wanna make him be that cool in front of all the girls at school and run around screaming 'ISN'T HE SO COOL!' like a maniac –o-;;.
Were we a couple? I'd have to ask him later. I'm so afraid of these feelings I have. My heart beats like crazy just thinking about him and my temperature rises.
DOKIDOKIDOKIDOKI
:sigh: I need to go to sleep
LONG TIME NO SEE – fallen-anqel
CHAPTER 21
SCHOOL : LOCKER ROOM
I made my way into the locker room and opened my locker.
'Another day at school…' I sighed and took off my street shoes and put on my pink school slippers.
"Guess who." Someone slipped their fingers over my eyes and I felt their hands vibrating from muffled giggles.
"Sango-chan?" I questioned and reached over and wretched the fingers off my face.
"Why of course," Miroku said in a high-pitched girly voice. Sango stood nearby with the guilty face of an accomplice.
"Go away, twit," I said and swatted Miroku's arm.
(AN: ARG ! Smallville just ended. Last line : "You trusted me." – Chloe . GRAWR ! How let-downing is that? Stupid Clark ! For those who didn't watch the episode … or Smallville at all .. Chloe knows about Clark's powers and Clark doesn't tell her about them. With his amnesia, she has a chance to see all these powers since Clark doesn't know about them at all. In the end, Clark goes to the newspaper room and sees Chloe and ladidah Clark goes "It must have been weird to have a zombie best friend walking around." Cloe goes "I just never realized how complicated zombie best friend's life was." And now Clark is suspicious like .. does she know my secret? And Chloe says he had a fresh clean plate to start his life and he made all the same decisions except one. Clark goes "?" and she says "you trusted me." And turns away. End show.)
"So …" Sango put on an innocent face and pulled my arm.
"No," I said before she could spout her devious intentions. That girl never has innocent intentions.
"But Ka—," Sango started as she reached to pull at my collar. I shifted around uncomfortably and saw Sesshoumaru at the corner of my eye.
"Sesshoumaru!" I shouted and ran over, hooking arms. He lifted an eyebrow and I pinched his arm as I let out a big fake smile. "You promised to walk me to class today. Bye guys!"
With that, I dragged Sesshoumaru out of there and slid across the hallway, bumping into several people in the process.
"Whew," I sighed as we got to my homeroom.
"What was that?" Sesshoumaru questioned. I looked over and saw him leaning against the wall opposite my doorway.
"You're causing me SO much trouble, you know that?" I retorted and crossed my arms in mock annoyance.
"Is that so?" he quirked an eyebrow and hefted himself off the wall.
"Yeah," I answered. "Sango is going crazy trying to squeeze info about us out of me and—"
"Us?" Sesshoumaru's eyebrow made another jump.
"Well, yea…" I blushed. "I mean, are we a couple? Because if we're not um … fine, whatever. It's not like—."
Sesshoumaru promptly cut me off with a kiss on my nose.
"Bleh" I jumped and rubbed my nose. Sesshoumaru shook his head and smiled. This has got to be the biggest moment I have had in my life.
"Uh hm!" I looked up and saw a not so happy Inuyasha standing by.
"Inuyasha," Sesshoumaru said and gripped me around my waist.
"Sesshoumaru," Inuyasha growled.
"What do you want?" I asked, annoyed out of my mind. HE RUINED A MOMENT! The BEST moment I ever had in my LIFE!
"Some people want to get to class," Inuyasha drawled. "How about both of you saying bye and stop blocking the hallway?"
"Whatever." I murmured and turned to Sesshoumaru. "Bye!" I stomped my way to my seat and plopped myself down in my seat. Inuyasha SUCKS!
AFTER SCHOOL : OUTSIDE
"Only two more months and school's out!" Sango shouted and jumped circles around me.
"Great." I smiled and rolled my eyes. "You are such a little kid."
"Hey, hey, hey," Sango said with her hands out in front of her. "Who's the little kid Miss Kitty pajama pants?"
"Hey!" I bonked Sango on the head. "They are the sexiest pair of pajama pants I've seen in my entire life!"
"Yeah," Sango retorted. "Considering they're just about the only pair of kitty pajama pants in the WORLD!"
"Ha ha," I dragged. "Very funny."
"I try," Sango smiled and slung an arm around my shoulders. "So what is on the menu today?"
"Um… Let's go to WcDonalds." I shrugged and walked along with her.
"And venture into the lands of fatty meat and oily French fries and sugarized burger buns?" Sango gasped.
"I'm sure we can go somewhere healthy if you want to…" I said.
"I see your offer and I raise you a Burger King," Sango said.
"Burger King is still fast food, you know," I said.
"Just take my offer!" Sango snapped.
"OK." Was my automatic response, fearing Sango's wrath.
BURGER KING
"So," I slurped up some Diet Coke. "How's it going?"
"Hmm… same old same old." Sango dipped a French fry into a blob of honey mustard mixed with ketchup.
"How's Miroku?"
"Hm…"
"You know what I think? I think you have a crush on him and you wont admit it."
"Well, how about you and Sesshoumaru?" Sango snapped.
"We're a couple!" I snapped back. "And Miroku is gay!"
"Miroku is not gay!" Sango shrieked.
"See, see!" I pointed my finger at her accusingly. "You do like him! You defended a hentai like him! You would have laughed and been all like 'Oh yeah, he is' if you didn't like him!"
"Oh, so what!" Sango looked off to the side. "I do like him."
"Okay." I smiled, satisfied with my answer and slurped more of my drink. "Does he know?"
"We'vebeengoingoutfortwoweeks," Sango murmured quickly and ducked her head.
"TWO WEEKS! And you didn't tell me! How could you!" I was beyond mad. She was all in my face about Sesshoumaru and now I hear that she has been going out with that guy for two weeks! Wow.
"I was going to tell you sooner but--," Sango started.
"But what?" She better have a good explanation for this one.
"I don't know." She nibbled nervously at a French fry. "It feels weird going out with him. You know, with how much you don't like Inuyasha and Miroku is his right hand man and all. And I hate watching movies when the 'gangster' is the main character and looks all heroic and gets the girl in the end because that is not how life goes at all! I don't want to be the bad guy's girl! I don't want to turn into a slut like all those girls he hangs out with!"
"Are you calling me a slut!" I hissed.
"No, NO WAY Kagome!" Sango swung her arms frantically. "Not you … like Kikyo and Yur…a."
"You were going to say Yuri, weren't you?" I asked. "Yuri and me are practically the same. Bye Sango."
"Gome-chan," Sango pleaded.
"Go take Miroku and get fat at some WcDonalds," I hissed and glared at Sango. She winced and I felt a little bad … but not bad enough.
"A slut," I hissed and kicked a garbage can. "That's the most revolting thing I've heard in my life!"
BZZT BZZT
"Yeah," I snapped into my phone.
"Kagome? What's wrong?" Yuri asked.
"No!" I said. "I went to Burger King with Sango and apparently she's been with Miroku for a while now and then she's all 'I don't wanna be a slut' and I go 'what?' and she's all 'like Kikyo and Yuri' and that means she calling me a slut and—."
"Wait, what?" Yuri asked. "Oh-no she didn't! She did not call me a—okay, you know what? I'm coming over, where are you?"
"Near VIPizza," I answered.
"Okay. I'll be right there so go inside and order a small everything pizza and four garlic knots." Yuri instructed and promptly hung up.
VIPIZZA : LATER
"Okay," Yuri said as she viciously chomped into a pizza slice. "She called me a WHAT!"
"She called us—okay… not exactly me—but she implied it! Sluts." I repeated mashed a garlic knot into my mouth.
"Kikyo is a slut!" Yuri shouted. "I am NOTHING like that silly girl!"
(AN: I'm watching another Smallville episode … rerun. When Chloe takes in a truth serum and people keep telling her the truth. And Pete is in love with her! Whoa!)
"Whatever." I listlessly picked out all the mushrooms on my pizza. "She probably didn't mean it."
"Maybe she didn't mean to offend you," Yuri said. "But she certainly always thought that I was a slut! Oh I'll give her a slut alright."
"Don't do anything rash, Yuri," I warned. "I'm going to tell the guys to not listen to a word you say. I swear to—if I hear anything about dumping a body into a river anytime soon I'm going to … to …"
"What?" Yuri pointed at me with her crust. "Rip out my hair? Throw all my clothes into a pool? Please, Kagome, you don't know scary when you see it. I've been a lot worse to girls by myself … heck, they want to throw themselves in a river by the time I'm done with them."
"I'm gonna tell Sesshoumaru!" I retorted. v .
"Please-," Yuri rolled her eyes. "I've known him since WAY before you came into the picture. Honey, please, I have him wrapped around my finger."
"Thanks." --;; What a great friend.
"Just telling you the truth," she smiled and reached for my crust. "Not eating that? Thanks."
"Um … you're welcome." Boy is this girl a food vacuum!
BZZT BZZT BZZT
"What?" Yuri greeted. "… Shut up … Yeah. I'm with Kagome at VIP … How long? … Okay, we'll be there … Stop worrying, you're not my mother … Meet you there in 5 minutes."
"Who was that?" I asked. "Not your mother I'm guessing."
Yuri looked up at me as she snapped close her cell phone.
"We've got trouble."
