Chapter Two: Apologies for Death
"I'm sorry, guys. I didn't mean to die on you. If I wasn't so weak you wouldn't have had to stop the quest. Shippo and Koga would still be alive. So would I."
DogDemon01: No use blubbering about it.
Houshi4Hentai: True.
DemonSlayer18: We'll start at the last save point tomorrow.
Houshi4Hentai: Perhaps this time we should wander around a bit before tackling the demon horde.
MikoMaiden: It will give me a chance to get stronger.
FoxFyre: Me too. I'm close to learning another spell!
BigBadWolf: I can't believe you guys just left me there to die!
DogDemon01: That's what happens when the weak fall in battle. Keep up next time and maybe you won't be left behind.
Kagome glared at the screen. She typed, deleted, and retyped her angry sentences. He wasn't talking about her, he was talking about Koga. Or was he? After all, when she fell in battle they didn't just leave her… they simply quit the game. But why? She was the newest to the game, and wasn't half as strong as the others.
With a sigh she erased her angry words.
DogDemon01: You sure are being quiet, Kags.
MikoMaiden: It's Kagome, not Kags, idiot.
DogDemon01: I'm not an idiot, stupid!
FoxFyre: I'm putting you both on ignore if you don't stop fighting.
DemonSlayer18: So, are we going to start again tomorrow after school?
Houshi4Hentai: Count me in.
FoxFyre: Me 2.
MikoMaiden: I have detention, but I'll be online as soon as I get home.
BigBadWolf: If Kagome's here, I'll be here.
DogDemon01: What's THAT supposed to mean?
Kagome groaned, barely keeping from banging her head on her desk. It seemed like all Inuyasha and Koga did was fight. The tiniest little thing could set them off.
DemonSlayer18: Detention?
Kagome winced. She hadn't meant to type that. Of course Sango would have caught it. The girl was astute.
MikoMaiden: Yeah, but it totally wasn't my fault.
DogDemon01: Suuuure it wasn't. The Good Girl finally gets busted. What did ya do? Skip class? Forget your homework? Didn't polish the apple?
Houshi4Hentai: Got caught making out in the principals office?
MikoMaiden: NO! Get your mind out of the gutter, Miroku. And I'm not an apple polisher!
DemonSlayer18: What happened then?
BigBadWolf: You can tell us. We'll still love you. At least, I will.
Kagome was soooo tempted to put Koga on ignore. Once he started in on the love train of thought it was hard to get him derailed. Her fingers hovered over the ignore option, but before she could click on it she heard a ding. Someone was IM-ing her.
IM: DogDemon01: Are you sure you don't know Koga? He sure seems to know you.
IM: MikoMaiden: I don't think I do.
IM: DogDemon01: Maybe he's goes to your school and is stalking you.
Kagome laughed at the thought. The only stalker she had at school was the local sweet heartthrob Hojo. She pictured him as Koga, the wolf demon, and burst out laughing hysterically. She wiped a tear from her eye and sighed as the laughter died when another ding caught her attention.
IM: DogDemon01: You still there?
IM: MikoMaiden: Yes, was picturing him as this guy I know from school and started laughing.
IM: DogDemon01: Boyfriend?
Another ding. This time it was Sango trying to get her attention.
IM: DemonSlayer18: Not paying attention to the chat I see. I bet you are chatting with Inuyasha. Don't let Koga know, he'd kill him every opportunity he had!
Quickly Kagome said goodnight to her online friends and exited Miroku's chatroom where they always met after the game. Before she closed down her computer she heard another ding. It was Inuyasha again.
IM: DogDemon01: Leaving?
IM: MikoMaiden: Yeah, I still have homework to do before school tomorrow.
IM: MikoMaiden: I'm sorry I died again. I'll work harder.
IM: DogDemon01: Stop worrying about it.
Kagome smiled.
IM: MikoMaiden: Sweet dreams, Inuyasha.
IM: DogDemon01: Sweet dreams, Kagome.
