The sun had gone down to be replaced by a beautiful full moon, surrounded by millions of little stars, which seemed to dull in comparison to the moon. With no clouds in sight, it had to be the most superlative night anyone had every seen.
Four people could be seen on a rooftop watching a shooting star fly by and making a wish. They were laughing and seemed to be having a good time.
However not everything can be perfect. There was school the next day and therefore two of the four friends would have to leave.
Oh yeah, there were also three shady figures lurking around outside the Higurashi household.
"Yes, I do believe that she will do just fine." A cold voice remarked to his two companions.
"She does resemble Kikyo very much. It's amazing they aren't related, but why not just have Kikyo master?" A feminine voice asked in a rather bored voice, as if she could careless.
"Kikyo is an imbecile, an airhead and a whore, unlike sweet innocent Kagome. Kikyo is also unpleasing, with her dead eyes, pale skin and emotionless face." The cold voice spoke again, "Though they may look somewhat alike, one looking more alive then the other… that is where their similarities end."
The three figures disappeared into the night as the front door to the Higurashi house opened.
"Well, I'll see ya guys at school tomorrow." Kagome yawned and her eyes dropped, as Inuyasha and Miroku walked outside.
"You look exhausted Kagome and it's no wonder why." Sango commented, "Let's get you to bed."
"Yes mother." Kagome giggled.
Everyone said their good-byes to each other and then headed off to bed/home.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
A little red-haired head poked out from behind a wooden door before deciding it was safe to venture out of the room it had awoken in.
The house was quiet, only the soft pitter-patter of a little kitsune was heard. He smelled a familiar scent and was determined to find it.
He past one door without thought and headed towards the one next to it. He put his nose up to it and gave it a little sniff. Vanilla, this was the room.
Reaching up for the doorknob, the little kit grabbed it and slowly opened said door cautiously. He poked his head in the little gap, as he had poked his head out of the previous door, and made sure it was safe before entering.
The room he had entered was obviously a girl's room. That or someone had some serious gender issues.
There were pink curtains hanging in front of the window and blocking out the bright rays that threatened to enter. Various things were scattered about the floor such as skirts, sweaters, brushes, jewelry and some books.
Something moved a little and the kitsune jumped a bit. His vision was diverted from an 'algebra' book that looked like it had been wet and unsuccessfully dried; only making the pages stick and look crumbly, to a bed with pink sheets that matched the curtains, still in a silent war of keeping the sun out.
Curious as to what made the noise, the Kitsune ventured closer to the bed and saw a girl's face snuggled into a pillow. She had flipped over and made the bed squeak, that was the noise. Not something that was trying to kill him. Contrary to his beliefs, it was actually the girl he remembered saving him from the 'bad men' and the girl that smelled of vanilla that he was looking for.
Sighing with relief the kitsune's attention was replaced with a nightstand, which stood beside the bed. A black clock shone brightly with dark pink numbers reading 5:59. A soft click, unheard by human ears, was heard by the kitsune and the numbers were replaced by new ones. The clock now read 6:00.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BE-
The clocks buzzard went off and the kit stared at it in shock as his eyes grew big. He quickly backed away, covered his ears and saw a hand come out from under the pink covers and slam against the clock. The clock however did not give up in the never ending task to wake the sleepy girl. Seemingly annoyed, the hand was seen throwing the clock to the other side of the room.
The kit dropped to the floor and covered his head as the clock went whizzing over head. It hit the wall and fell to the floor, the buzzard wheezed in and out before dieing out altogether.
Deciding it was safe to stand again, the kitsune released his head and got off the sweater he had landed on.
He watched as the teenage girl yawned, stretched her arms and got out of bed, not sure if he should run or not.
When she saw the kitsune standing there her eyes grew wide in shock, just as the kitsune's had earlier. Then an imaginary light bulb appeared over her head and lit up as she remembered who the kit was.
"I'm sorry, I didn't scare you did I?" The girl smiled warmly and looked at the clock on the floor before returning her gaze on the kitsune again, "You weren't hit by the clock were you?"
"N… no." The kit replied, slowly regaining his voice. "Im fine."
"Good!" She sounded relieved, "My name's Kagome! You must be starving. I'll get you some clothes and show you to the bathroom where you can get cleaned up while I make some pancakes. Do you like pancakes?"
"I love pancakes!" The kit chirped and smiled brightly. He followed Kagome out her bedroom door and down the hall.
He walked back into the room he had awakened in and sat on the bad as the teenage girl rummaged threw a box in a nearby closest.
"My little brother Souta grew out of these clothes and seeing as your smaller then him, I believe these should fit you. Well, Just until we get you some clothes of your own of course."
Kagome had a little pile of clothes in her hands when she emerged from the closet. She beckoned the kit to follow her, then exited the room and entered the one next to it.
"This is our bathroom." Kagome informed the kit as she put the clothes on the edge of the sink and started running the water in the tube after plugging it. "There's soap, shampoo, etcetera in there." She now rummaged threw a cabinet and pulled out a towel, placing it beside the tub. "I'll be back in a flash. I just have some things I need to get done, yell if you need anything."
"Thanks a lot for everything! I haven't had a bath in forever!" The kit said gleefully.
Kagome giggled and ruffled his hair before exiting the bathroom and heading down the stairs.
The kit took off his clothes and dipped one foot in the water to test it. The water was nice and warm so the kit got in.
The water only filled a quarter of the tub at the time and the kit decided to look around while it filled. He quickly found a bottle that had his favorite television character on it and grabbed it. He read the label and found out it was bubble bath stuff, he wasted no time in pouring some of it into the running water and then placed it back on the shelf.
Kagome returned when the tub was half full and giggled when she saw the kit making a fake mustache out of bubbles.
She walked over to the tub, quickly instructed him which faucet was for cold water, which was for hot and which way to turn it in order for the water to shut off.
"Dry off with the towel and get dressed when you are done. Breakfast should be ready by the time you finish."
Kagome went to leave the room but stopped just before she got to the door. She smiled knowingly and grabbed a few select items from under the sink. She then glanced back at Shippo, who was currently playing in 'bubble town' then closed the door and headed back downstairs.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
She had finished making pancakes and put three on a plate, all buttery, syrupy and cut, then set them on the kitchen table.
Footsteps were heard coming downstairs and shortly after the kitsune entered the kitchen. He was now clean and had non-ripped clothes on him, which fit him rather well. His cuts were minor and therefore had disappeared when he had awoken. However, his hair was still wet and hung all around his face and down his back in a tangled untamed way.
Quickly spotting the pancakes, he ran over to the kitchen table and sat down in front of them.
"They smell so good!" He exclaimed and took a bit whiff of the pancakes before he began to devour them as if he hadn't eaten in weeks.
Kagome stood shocked as she watched him devour the food.
"Slow down or you'll end up choking."
"Really?" The kit inquired, mouth full of food, as he slowed down a bit.
"Yes." She giggled and grabbed the hairdryer and comb, which she had brought down previously, from the table, "You're going to catch a cold with your hair so wet. It's not exactly hot out anymore." She explained as she turned on the hairdryer and began to dry his hair, brushing it while she did so.
"What smells so good?" Sango asked as she yawned and entered the kitchen, unfazed by Kagome and the kit. "You made pancakes! They are my favorite!" She giggled in delight before making herself a plate and joining the kit at the table.
Kagome finished his hair, put aside the hairdryer and comb, and then got herself a plate for pancakes.
"Only two left?" She asked amazed. She had made eight. She then realized the kit got three and Sango must have taken three. "Guess I'll have to get use to cooking more food with more people here. I just never thought I'd have to make more then this."
Grabbing the last two pancakes, she cut them and put butter and syrup on them before sitting at the table with the other two.
"Was it good?"
"Delicious!" They both agreed in unison, then the kit added, "Are there anymore? I haven't had such good food in forever and they are soooo yummy!"
Kagome looked at the little boy and then at her own plate of pancakes. The little boy gave her big puppy dog eyes and Kagome couldn't help it. He looked so skinny! He must've not had a good meal in ages.
"Yup, Right here." Kagome gave her plate to the kitsune, who squealed in delight.
"So what's his name?" Sango asked as she finished her last bite of pancakes.
-How do they eat so fast?- Kagome thought but instead said she did not know.
Kagome picked up the kits old plate, Sango's plate then waited two more seconds for the kit to finish his new plate before grabbing that plate and putting it in the sink.
"This is Sango." Kagome said as she sat at the table again and pointed towards Sango, "She's staying with me for while my mom and grandfather are away in the United States. I also have a little brother; you slept in his room last night. He's staying with a friend of his. Why don't you tell us a bit about yourself?"
The kit went to say something but decided against it and closed his mouth. Finally figuring out what he wanted to say, he looked at the two girls, whom he barley knew.
"My name is Shippo. I am… a… a… fox kitsune." He waited for a second, as if he expected them to freak out or something. When they didn't he gave them a questioning look.
"We already knew you were a fox kitsune. Don't worry, we already know about kitsunes, demons and that kind of stuff." Sango answered his unasked question.
Shippo nodded his head in understanding, then asked how they knew about everything and why they didn't think he was just wearing a costume, like everyone else thought.
For the next fifteen minutes or so Kagome and Sango told Shippo a bit about themselves, including how they knew about demons.
In turn, Shippo told them about how he is 6 ½ years old and use to live with his mother and father, until he was 5 and they were killed by the 'bad men'. Then he lived on the streets for awhile, he had managed to get away from them for quite a long time. Then one day they found him and he thought it would be a good idea to go into a crowded area. That's when he was saved by Kagome in the mall.
Both girls were almost in tears as the listened to Shippo's story. He had gone threw so much at such a young age. They both gave him a comforting hug.
Noticing the time, Sango and Kagome rushed upstairs, got dressed in record time and came back down to find Shippo in the living room, watching television.
"Shippo, we have to go to school today okay? I want you to be a good boy and watch TV. There are also video games in Souta's room that you can play too. I made a lunch for you last night; it's in the refrigerator, bottom shelf in a brown paper bag. Do not, under any circumstances, answer the phone or door or leave this house, understood?"
After Shippo promised he wouldn't do anything wrong, Kagome and Sango headed out the door, making sure to lock it before going to the car.
"Sense when were you so good and knowing with kids? You sounded like a real mother in there." Sango observed as she got in Kagome's car.
"I guess from watching my little brother for so long. There was also that one babysitting job too." Kagome started the car and headed towards school.
"Those awful twins?"
"Yup." Kagome mad a face of disgust remembering them, "Horrible as they were, I learned a lot babysitting them. Which reminds me, I have to call Souta sometime today. Ya know, just to check up on him?"
They talked the whole way to school, discussing plans and such.
When they got to school, they met Inuyasha and Miroku at the side doors. They walked up to them and Kagome was the first person to greet them.
"Nice to see you again, Inuyasha. I hope this means you don't absolutely hate us and are willing to hang out with us now, hey Miroku!"
"Hey Kagome, hey Sango!" Miroku grinned and Inuyasha just crossed his arms and glared at Kagome.
"Hey, whtcha' guys doing?" Sango asked, watching Miroku closely, more out of habit then anything else.
"Nuttin, just thought we'd talk to you guys before class."
"About…?"
"The little boy, duh. Do we have to spell it out for you!" Inuyasha yelled impatiently.
"Well someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today." Kagome observed.
"What's that supposed to mean, whench?"
"You know what it means, and stop calling me wench!" Kagome's anger rose, as she tried to speak calmly.
"I'll call you whatever I want." Inuyasha said hotly and then added, "Whench."
"Then if you won't use my name, I won't use yours, Baka!" Kagome exclaimed triumphantly.
"What did you call me?"
"You heard me, Baka!"
Inuyasha growled at her, "Whench, you're so stupid! I don't even know why you have any friends. They probably just pity you."
"You take that back!" Kagome yelled, looking him in the eyes and poked him fiercely in the chest.
"Why should I? It's the truth. Your so annoying and LOUD, WHENCH! Not to mention you're obese, no wonder you don't have a boyfriend, your ugly as shit."
"You… you… JERK!" Kagome screamed and held back tears that threatened to spill. She wouldn't give him the satisfaction of seeing her cry. Seeing that, for some reason, what he said actually affected her. She wouldn't. Why did he have to be so mean? Why did she even care what he thought?
She ran past Inuaysha quickly and entered the school, saying she had to get to class. A few tears ran down her check and then her stomach rumbled, reminding her just how hungry she was.
"Can this day get any worse?" She screamed to herself as she made her way to her locker.
She saw her friends come down the hall to her. Wiping away her tears, she put on a fake smile and greeted them as she usually would.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Inuyasha was about to yell at the retreating girl's back when he smelt saltwater in the air.
-Tears?- The hanyou felt a pang of guilt in his stomach. He hadn't meant to upset her so much. He didn't even know what came over him. It's not like he even meant it. He was actually going to apologize, which he never did, when he was brought back to reality by Sango.
"Look what you did now!"
"What? She started it."
"You made her angry you jerk! What'd she ever do to you except try to be your friend, huh?"
"I think you did overreact a bit Inuyasha. You should apologize to her." Miroku spoke up, upset that he had made Kagome angry. No one, except Inuyasha, had noticed that she was crying.
"Now you're against me too?" Inuyasha asked when he realized they were right, then tried to change the subject. "What happened to that boy anyways?"
"Well I just got done telling Miroku about him. Maybe if you weren't being an asshole then you'd know what happened, wouldn't you?" with that said, Sango left them and entered the school.
"I'll tell you about Shippo in class." Miroku sighed as he watched Sango walk away.
"Shippo?"
"The boy's name, and supposedly Kagome wanted us over for dinner tonight, or so Sango and she discussed on their way to school today. They want us to get to know Shippo, a bit of a welcoming party."
"Keh, as if I'd want to go."
Deciding to ignore his arrogant façade, Miroku continued to tell his best friend all about Shippo, well everything that Sango knew and had told him.

RING
The bell rang throughout the school, signaling the end of first period. Soon another bell would ring and signal the start of second period.
Kagome was currently found talking to Eri about there latest homework assignment. When they reached Eri's biology class, Kagome waved good-bye and headed on towards her next class alone.
Her second period class was her confusing one because it changed everyday. It went on a 6 day schedule.
Mondayday 1
Tuesdayday 2
Wensdayday 3
Thursdayday 4
Fridayday 5
Mondayday 6 then it starts over again, Tuesdayday 1 Wensdayday 2 and so on… ((A/N-that's how it is at my school anyways.))
On day one, Kagome had study. On days 2 and 4 she had gym and then on days 3, 5 and 6 she had health 11. Today was day 2, her first day of gym.
Kagome liked gym, mainly because you can't get homework in gym. Also, she happened to be pretty good in sports.
Kagome entered the girl's locker room to change out of her school uniform and into her gym uniform, which consisted of red shorts and a white t-shirt, and then she tied her hair up into a ponytail, her long curls tickling her neck as they went mid-way down her back.
When she entered the gymnasium, she was greeted with a mass hysteria of red and white. All girls and boys had to wear red shorts and a white t-shirt. –Of course- Kagome thought, -the girl's clothes are tight and the shorts are as short as the skirts. You'd swear Miroku made up the dress code.-
"It's bad enough we wear uniforms to class, you'd think they'd let us wear what we want for gym, at the very least." The miko said to no one in general.
There was nets set-up in various different parts of the huge room. Kagome smiled, knowing they'd be playing badminton today.
RING
Everyone moved to find there designated groups, that happened to be found on there class schedule. Kagome looked around for group number 3. She quickly found 2 nets that had the number 3 on the poles.
When she reached the net, she saw Kikyo was already there. With her, there were also 2 boys and 2 girls. Kagome had seen them around school once or twice but other then that she didn't know them really well.
"Kagome!" A voice, obviously male, called out and the girl in question turned around to see who was calling her.
There stood a rather tall guy with long, athletic legs and a ponytail pulled back by a headband of what looked like animal hide.
Kagome instantly remembered him. She had spent three weeks in the summer with him, they were both camp consolers and had gotten to be rather good friends. She knew he was a wolf demon, and of course that didn't change her opinion about him. Which Koga was really happy about. They had exchanged phone numbers and e-mail addresses to keep in touch. However, he lived rather far away and they didn't get to see each other.
"Koga, Im so happy to see you! What are you doing all the way out here?" Koga ran up to Kagome and caught her in a bone-crushing hug.
"My dad's business moved down here because it's a bigger city then my hometown, which means more costumers for them. My family had no choice but to move with the company or my father would lose his job. Isn't that great? I would've told you sooner but I wanted it to be a surprise!" Koga exclaimed and released Kagome from the hug-of-death.
"I was wondering why you were so interested in my school schedule. I really like the surprise though! You should come over my house tonight for dinner. I'm having some friends over and it'll be a good way to get to know some new people."
Koga lit up like a Christmas tree and wasted no time in agreeing to come over for dinner.
"Great! YOU'RE not in my group are you?" Someone asked as they walked up to Kagome.
Kagome turned around to find none other then Inuyasha staring at her. He crossed his arms and glared at the girl. Then he remembered this morning and his gaze softened.
"Look Kagome, I just wanted to say…"
"Say what?" Kagome asked as she raised an eyebrow.
-Damn she looks so cute like that!- Inuyasha quickly shook his head clear of these absurd thoughts and tried to focus on the task at hand. He took a deep, calming breath before he continued.
"I just wanted to say… well… ya know. About this morning… and I really didn't…" Inuyasha stuttered, unsure of how to say he was sorry. It's not like he went around apologizing to everyone.
"It's okay Inuyasha. I forgive you." Kagome cut off, knowing he obviously didn't apologize very much, if ever. Which made his somewhat apology all the better and much easier to forgive.
"I want you to meet someone. Inuyasha, this is Koga. We use to be camp consolers together and he just moved here."
Koga glared at Inuyasha, seeing that he was far to close to 'his' Kagome.
"What's your problem?" Inuyasha asked angrily.
"My problem is you're a bit to close to Kagome, don't 'cha think?"
Kagome sighed as she watched Koga. Inuyasha was at her side and she could feel his arm brush up against his every now and then, kami forbid. As if it actually meant anything, Koga was just a bit uptight when it came to 'his woman'. He was always like this at camp too. Always going around calling her 'his woman' no matter what Kagome said. She even became friends with a very nice boy named Hojo and Koga kept pestering him. Telling him she was taken and it would be better if he just leave her alone. Koga didn't/couldn't understand why Kagome got so upset about that.
"Why do you care?"
"I care because she's MY woman." Koga pronounced, putting emphasis on the word 'my'.
Inuyasha was shocked as he stood there stunned with his mouth agape. Slowly, he turned towards Kagome, as if to clarify if this was true or not. Kagome even thought he looked a bit… sad or disappointed. Then regained her senses and realized she was talking about Inuyasha here. As if he would care. Still though, she felt she had to make it clear to Inuyasha that she was NOT taken.
"I am NOT your woman Koga!"
Inuyasha seemed to perk up at this statement and had a smug look on his face, as if he had just won a battle.
Koga pushed Inuyasha away from 'is' woman, not even hearing (or just not caring) what Kagome said.
"What do you think your doing you flea-bitten wolf?" Inuyasha asked, he knew what Koga was due to his scent and the strong aura coming from his headband, which must've been bewitched to hide his demon appearance.
"At least im not a…" Koga sniffed he air and drew back his face in disgust, "A mangy mutt!"
Inuyasha growled at him as Kagome stepped between the two of them and attempted to calm them down.
A loud whistle was heard and all eyes turned to the gym teacher, Myoga. Myoga was rather short and plump with very little hair. However he had a surprisingly loud voice that seamed to echo in the large room.
"I want all the teams to split up into boy-girl partners. Then two teams will face off in a game of badminton. The team to score 15 points first, or whoever had the most points be the end of the round which will be signaled by my whistle, will be the winner and go up against another winner while the losers run the track outside until gym is over. This will continue until we have only one team left. That team will get to pick what we shall be doing every day for the rest of this month, as long as it is accepted by me. Everyone understand?"
There was a murmur of agreement as everyone paired up into teams.
"Kagome, will you do me the honor of being my partner? Together we will be unstoppable!" Koga handed her a racket that he got when the teacher was explaining the rules.
"No way! Kagome is already my partner." Inuyasha snorted.
"Actually I think you already have a partner." Kagome said, confused as to why he wanted to be her partner in the first place.
Kikyo latched onto Inuyasha's arm as she gave him a racket.
"Hey Inu baby. Im do happy we are partners." Kikyo said in an annoyingly fake voice.
Kagome kinda felt bad for Inuyasha, as he looked like he was going to throw-up, as she agreed to be Koga's partner.
"Don't call me that! And for kami's sake, GET OFF OF ME!" The hanyou screamed as he desperately tried to unlatch the girl from his arm.
"Aww… don't they just make the cutest couple?" Koga asked, mockingly, then put his arm around Kagome's waist and led her to the badminton net.
Inuyasha growled fiercely and tore away from Kikyo, going to the opposite side of the net Koga was at. Kikyo followed closely behind.
"Can you show me how to play?" Kikyo asked as she fluttered her eyes and, in Inuyasha's opinion, looked and sounded utterly more stupid then he thought was possible.
"You damn well know how to play." He grinded out between clenched teeth, "Throw the freakin' bird and let's get going already!"
Koga threw the birdie up in the air and hit it hard over the net, towards Kikyo. Kikyo looked at the 'flying menace' in horror as she closed her eyes and held up her racket in front of her face.
The birdie hit her hand and Kikyo cried out in 'agonizing' pain.
"One point for us!" Kagome cheered and high-fived Koga.
"What the hell was that!" Inuyasha screamed and glared at the pathetic sobbing girl that stood before him.
"I sniff broke a... a…" Kikyo stuttered in-between sobs at she stared at her finger, "I think I broke a nail!"
Inuyasha stared at her in shock and disbelief. He looked from her sobbing, tear-stained face to her chipped fake nail and back again in pure amazement.
"Are we going to play or are you two love-birds just going to stare at each other all day?" Kagome yelled to Inuyasha, breaking him out of his trance as he muttered, "Weakest, most pathetic thing I have ever seen." under his breath.
"Go sit down, you dim-witted twit. I can do way better without you."
Clearly misinterpreting what he meant, Kikyo hugged Inuyasha, well thanking him and sat down on the bleachers that were close to them.
At the net next to theirs, also labeled 'three', there stood a tall man with very long, well-kept black hair. He had on an emotionless façade as he watched the girl not to far from him, as if in the process of making a plan. His eyes gleamed and a smirk grew on his face as he watched her hit the birdie fiercely back at a man with long slightly-messy silver hair, his plan would be in effect soon.
She scored another point then started to talk again. The guy tried his hardest to listen but sadly there were so many other noises surrounding him that he couldn't hear.
He watched as a man with long hair pulled up into a ponytail relentlessly moved to the other side of the net, Kagome had said it wasn't fair Inuyasha was on his own. Then Inuyasha said he didn't need anyone, that Kagome needed help way more then he did. Needless to say, but said anyways, they got into a fight and now Kagome was determined more then ever to prove that she could beat both of them. However, the man did not hear and therefore was lost as to what was going on, not that he really cared.
Throughout the game Kagome grew a bit crazed about winning and used all her might to hit the birdie, well all the might she could use without causing it to glow pink. Inuyasha complained that she was going to take off his head but Kagome ignored him.
Kagome was known to be very competitive during games. She also tended to go a bit overboard every now and then.
Thirty minutes later Kagome was jumping up and down in glee, she had beaten the boys 15-13.
Sadly it was almost time to leave and they wouldn't have time for another game. Kagome had gotten so absorbed in the game that she didn't hear the whistle that signaled the end of the first round. Nor did she hear the other whistles that signaled the end of the second and third round or any of the other rounds.
No, Kagome did not stop. She continued the game and so everyone went on without them. Now they were eliminated from the competition.
"Now were out of the competition and it's all your fault!" Inuyasha screamed as he walked up to Kagome.
"You're just mad I beat you, the both of you!" She pronounced happily and added, "Besides I would've beaten them all any-hoo!"
"That's my girl!" Koga said with pride as he wrapped his arms around Kagome, "So confident, happy…" He stared at the girl in his arms with a dreamy expression on his face.
"Oy, get your hands off her!" Inuyasha said as he pushed him away from the miko.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked confused as to why he would care.
"Why do you care?" Koga screamed as he got in front of Kagome and pushed the hanyou back.
Inuyasha blushed for a second as he thought, -Why do I care? When he put his arms around her I felt like ripping his head off…-
Inuyasha, once again, shoke his head free of these thoughts. He'd figure out what was wrong later. Right now he was busy.
The hanyou punched Koga in the jaw as the wolf demon, not prepared for this, was sent back a few feet before charging back at him.
"Stop you guys!" Kagome shrieked and stood herself between them.
Not wanting to hurt Kagome, both boys stopped there fight and settled for sending deadly glares at each other.
"Mind your own business whench."
"I told you my name is Kagome, Ka-go-me." She yelled in his face and jabbed hi8m in the chest with her pointer finger to get her point across.
"I know you name and I'll call you whatever I want wench!" He diverted his gaze from Koga to Kagome.
"Baka!"
"Bitch!"
"Jerk!"
The fighting teens were so absorbed in their fight that they didn't notice how close they were until they felt there noses brush up against each other. They could feel each others breath on there lips.
Kagome's eyes were like two balls of fire...beautiful fire. They stared at Inuyasha without even the slightest hesitation, as she continued to yell at him.
Both teens had different things racing threw their minds as they stared into each others eyes.
Inuyasha:
Inuyasha stared back with an equal amount of ferocity, his amber eyes burning. How dare this woman insult him so! How dare she frustrate him! And more, how dare she look so damn attractive at that moment.
For some reason he got a kick out of seeing her fight back. She was the only woman he'd ever met to do so, rather then just back down, and it helped him vent his pent-up frustration. However, he didn't like her in the slightest.
Inuyasha diverted his eyes to her lips as she subconsciously ran her tongue seductively across her lips, making them glossy.
Nope… he didn't feel anything for the beautiful girl that he was staring at. Did he?
Kagome:
Kagome wondered what the hanyou was doing, being so close to her. He wasn't going to kiss her, was he? Her first kiss and with someone she barley knew, yet felt she knew better then anyone.
The miko's mouth and lips suddenly felt very dry and she instantly liked her lips.
"Inuyasha..." His name escaped her lips without her even realizing she'd spoken it aloud, and she felt a blush come to her cheeks, her body growing warm as she stared at the handsome hanyou that stood before her, with his silver hair, his amber eyes, and slightly tan skin. Inuyasha with his hard jaw and determined stance.
Slowly, Inuyasha bent down closer to the teenage girl, as she stood on the tips of her toes and was about to fill the gap between them.
"How dare you insult Kagome like that?" Koga yelled at Inuyasha and the moment was broken.
At the same time both teens broke out of their trance and looked away.
"Whench."
"Baka."
They said in unison, although with none of the anger that was so evident in their voices before, and both teens were blushing like crazy.
"I can't wait until tonight Kagome." Koga was oblivious to everything that had just occurred.
"What?" Inuyasha screamed, seemingly better now, "He can't go!"
"I can go wherever I want mutt!"
"Inuaysha, I can invite whoever I want to, may I remind you, MY house. Koga IS coming and whether you come or not is entirely up to you." With that the confused girl turned around and headed towards the girls locker room, intent on taking a shower, clearing her thoughts and getting out of her gym clothes.
A/N- I just realized something really really stupid. Why it took me this long to realize it, I do not know. Any-hoo, I realized that I really stretched out one day. Chapters 1-4 were all about one day. The first day of school, the fight with 'blood red', the mall thing, saving Shippo, and meeting Inuyasha. This is only day 2! ONLY THE SECOND DAY OF SCHOOL AND OF EVERYTHING! Chapters 1-4 should've been called 'the really ubber long day', shesh. I am NOT going to make the days this long anymore, sorry I was so stupid about that. Well, I don't know what to say. I am very upset about my stupidity. I hope you enjoyed day 2 though. Ill see you all next chapter please review! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! (don't make me beg here +--)
Till next chapter…
P.S. I made this kinda long so therefore I am not rereading it all to check for spelling errors and such. I am sorry but that's the way it is. Im just happy I actually finished typing this chapter. Ja n e…
