Pre-chapter note: This chapter's title means he's not your boyfriend. Anta is a very improper term for "anata", which means "you". "Anta no" means "your", "kareshi" means boy, but can also be used for boyfriend, and "ja nai" is "negative of 'desu'" which is "to be". So, you put them together: Anta no (your) Kareshi (boyfriend) ja nai (negetive of to be). So, roughly, together they are "your boyfriend isn't", which comes out meaning "he isn't your boyfriend".

(all words underlined have the definition at them at the bottom)

Wait Till I Can Dream

Chapter 3

Anta no Kareshi ja nai

XxXxX

A familiar yet strange smell greeted Kagome as she started waking up. She looked at the clock above the door. 5:23 AM. Wait – What!

She sat straight up, not even noticing Inuyasha snoring slightly beside her. Kagome looked around the room for the smell.

It was Sango. She had a cigarette in her hand. She just stared at Kagome; the fact she caught her must've not registered yet. But when it did Sango smashed the fag into a napkin. "What are you doing awake!" Sango exclaimed.

"What are you doing smoking?"

Sango looked down at her hands, picking at the cuticles, trying to find the right words to say. "I, uh… Kamisama! Please don't tell anyone, Kagome! I've been smoking like this every morning since I got here, and Inuyasha and Miroku still don't know! If they find out – aghh… If the school finds out, I'm busted! They'll send me to fuckin' drug rehab or some shit! And especially Miroku can't find out because he won't date any girl who smokes, he told me! And also –"

"Sango! Calm down! You're talking, like, one hundred words a second! Just… calm down. I won't tell anyone, I promise." But Kagome couldn't help but wonder, 'What was the last part about Miroku?'

"You promise? For real?"

"No, for fake… Of course I promise! I don't care if you still do it, either…"

"Oh, Kagome!" She hugged her. "Thanks for understanding! I love you!"

It was then that Kagome realized she and Sango had the strongest bond she'd ever had in her life. Kagome was never very close with anyone, not even her old friends. She had a much darker perspective than everyone else around her. She never had a close bond with her mother either because they were always fighting about stupid shit.

"Sango," she started. "I know I haven't known you long, but you are seriously my best friend. You're closer to me than anyone has been in my entire life! I think I'm ready to tell you why I'm here… but you have to promise you won't tell anyone. I'm keeping a secret of yours, so you can do the same."

Sango nodded.

"It all started with my step dad…"

An hour later

"And then I met you guys."

Sango had a hand covering her mouth. Blinking the tears away, she said, "Oh my god. Out of all of us, you deserve to be here the least…"

"I know…"

"I'm so sorry. I wish I could fuckin' do something…"

"There's nothing you can do. And if you could do something, I'd rather you wouldn't. I like it here so much better than the real world. I fit in more. You guys actually understand me."

"What are you two talking about?" Inuyasha yawned as he say up in his bed, revealing his pearly white fangs.

"Nothing!" Sango quickly said.

"Hey, Kagome! Is this going to be an every night thing?" he looked so enthusiastic.

"Well… yeah…"

"Yeah, what was with you guys? Sleeping in the same bed?" Sango looked very suspicious.

Kagome explained her little disorder to her while Inuyasha got ready for school.

"So you're going to sleep with him every night?"

"Who's sleeping with who!"Miroku yelled and awoke in a snap.

"Kagome and Inuyasha," Sango answered, not knowing his mind was leading him elsewhere.

Miroku got up, ran to the bathroom to Inuyasha and yelled, "And you said she wasn't hot!"

All three of their mouths dropped. Sango walked over to him and smacked him upside the head as Kagome explained (again). Miroku just grew sadder and sadder.

"You're such a perv!" Kagome teased.

"Well, hey, I heard the words 'sleeping with him'. What was I to expect!"

"Aw, I'm just teasing you!" she said and patted his shoulder.

Kagome realized that her bond with Sango wasn't the only one that got stronger. She and Miroku also grew closer. And even though they wouldn't admit it, Kagome and Inuyasha's bond was strong as well. Kagome really liked Inuyasha. He wasn't like most people. Most people were always at her about everything, but he just let her go. And that's not saying she was annoyed of Sango and Miroku, because she wasn't. She just liked being alone sometimes, and Inuyasha gave her that. Well, maybe he gave her a little too much.

"Class, I'd like to introduce yet another new student. Miss Kikyo Godaibiatchi (a/n: ha, ha… get it? It's funny… I love messing with katakana). I expect you all to treat her with respect."

As the new girl, Kikyo, stared at Inuyasha, he whispered to Kagome, "Yo, she looks a lot like you."

Kagome nodded. "Yeah, I saw her on the bus ride here… But I wouldn't go as far as looking a lot like me. I don't wear all that makeup… or those whoriffic (like a whore) and skankalicious (like a skank) clothes… Ew… Talk about a little slut."

Kikyo winked at Inuyasha and took the seat behind him so she could probably stare at him all day. Inuyasha was extremely creeped out by this girl already.

XxXxX

During lunck, Kikyo approached our fab four's table.

"What?" Inuyasha asked rudely.

"Let me sit down," she ordered and pulled up in between Kagome and Inuyasha, so she would split the two up.

"What do you want from us!" Sango screamed as if she was in a horror flick.

"Shut up, I'm trying to talk!" Kikyo yelled back. "Inuyasha, right? Will you go out with me? You are, like, the hottest guy ever!"

Inuyasha had the most freaked out look on his face. What the hell was this girl doing? She didn't even know him. She never even talked to him, and here she was, expecting him to date her? Ha, ha! That's hilarious. "What the fuck is wrong with you!"

Miroku sighed. "You're lucky, Inuyasha. You should accept someone like this! Most girls want to know you better before you date them!"

"I'M NOT GOING TO DATE THIS WHORE!"

"But… Inu-kun! I'm in love with you!"

"What the hell?" is all Kagome could manage.

"I don't care, you fucking slut. Get away from me. I suggest you stop acting like a little bitch to all my friends, too. Maybe it'll make your image better, but I don't know… it looks like it's beyond repair."

"DO NOT DEGRADE ME LIKE THAT! YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO ME! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I WAS THE MOST PURCHASED PROSTITUTE IN TOWN! So what if I got arrested for prostitution!" She stood up, anger in her eyes. "I always get what I want, and I want you. I'll have you as a boyfriend whether you like it or not. So as of now, we are dating!" She screamed so loud, people in Kiwi-a-gogo-land could hear her.

Inuyasha and Kagome were fuming. He obviously hated Kikyo already. Kagome hated her, too. She didn't know why she was getting so worked up over it, though. She felt ready to cry! "Sumimasen," she said before leaving the table.

The small white pills spilled onto the bed. Kagome grabbed a small handful of them and just started drinking them with Turkey Hill Iced Tea. She just wanted to go to bed… today was stressful. She stumbled over to the bathroom. The feeling in her legs was going away, so she was having trouble standing up. Any minute now her knees would buckle… She threw up in the toilet, then hobbled over to the mirror to remind herself of how much she hated herself. Then she felt the cold bathroom tile on her face, but the fall didn't hurt. She was too numb now. The fuzzy darkness started to swallow her, and she welcomed it.

XxXxX

"Kagome? You in here?" Inuyasha knocked on the door to the bathroom before opening it. "Holy fuck!" He yelled and looked at the girl who was sprawled out on the floor before him. He quickly picked her up bride-style and lay her on his unmade bed.

He was the only one in their room. He only went up there to get her so she could go to her next class. Inuyasha didn't know the first thing about first aid. Unconscious people… god, he had no clue.

Sumimasen: Excuse me. (Japanese)

Yeah, I know, I'm weird… but I'm going to start using British lingo because I'm just fabbity-fab-fab like that. Yeah, if any of you have read the Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging books, then you should understand me pretty well.

Gay ending, gay chapter. I had to have her overdose… just because I never wrote anything like that, and I thought it would be a good cliffhanger, and I think we all know why she got so mad at Kikyo… cough cough JEALOUSY cough cough…
