Summary: Kagome has always felt like something is wrong with Kikyou. Kikyou starts to hang out with her, for one reason or another. Pull your enemies closer than your friends right? Kagome watches from the sidelines as this new girl starts to talk about Inuyasha in ways she can't stand. Based off of my friendship with someone else.

Rated M because of the way Kikyou talks. That's the main reason why...

- Kagome: This is me! I'm 14 in the beginning of the story, and, still a freshman. Blech.
- Kikyou: My so-called-friend, Megan. Everytime she speaks, she manages to gross me out. She's 14 in the beginning and a freshman.
- Inuyasha: My friend, Chris. Even though I like him, he'll never know it. Freshman in high school and 14 in the beginning.
- Miroku: My friend, Patrick. Even though I beat him over the head a lot, Patrick is usually very sweet and tries to keep his hands to himself. Freshman in high school and 15 in the beginning.
- Sango: My friend, Miranda. She's really nice and tends to mess up things. Usually phrases that she combines to sound stupid. She's 14 and a freshman in the beginning.

Oh, the girl who represents Kikyou - Megan - really does look like me. It's scary. We have the same name, but just different ways to spell it..

Well, my updates WILL be slowing down. Igot a horse, and I'm going to spend my afternoons with him, and not working on the story. Sorry...

Confusion With Love
Chapter Three- New Girl

XxXxX

Most of me was still shocked that I had made friends. I didn't even know what caused Sango to like me so much. She sat in front of me in science class, and suddenly wanted to be my friend. Miroku had been accepting of me too. Then, the Inuyasha they claimed to be grumpy and distrusting, accepted me too.

I still wanted to know what caused her to ask for my friendship. There are much nicer and prettier girls in the school. I'm sure that one of them would have the right personality. During lunch, Miroku and Inuyasha left to talk to each other. Guy stuff, they claimed. I didn't realize that guys could have conversations amongst themself like girls do. Maybe that's something else that's different about this place than my old home.

"Hey, Sango. I have a question." I began while we were in line at the student store. Inuyasha and Miroku ditched us early on, so we had to get and pay for our own food. It was fine, since it wasn't fair to let them do everything. I didn't mind, and I don't think Sango did either.

"Ok. Shoot." She said. I pulled out my wallet as the line surged forward a few steps.

"Why did you choose me to hang out with you guys?" I asked her.

"Well, you're really quiet. I told you that we needed a quiet person to balance out our group. I started talking to Miroku about it, and he thuoght that you might be tolerable of him and Inuyasha. So, we worked out a way to get you to come." She explained.

"You mean, it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment thing?" I questioned.

"Well, the dare was. I asked him to turn around and ask you that because Mr. P was getting too boring. Asking you just seemed to work after I saw how you reacted." She explained.

"I feel like a labrat. Experimented on and everything." I muttered.

"Relax. It's not nearly as bad as it sounds." She assured me.

"Alright..." I told her. She got the things that she wanted, and I did the same. I reached into a wallet then paid them with a twenty. My change was eleven dollars and twenty-five cents.

"Wow. You're loaded too." Sagno remarked. I shook my head as we headed back to our tree.

"I'm not loaded. I work every other week..." I told her.

"Thanks for paying for me, too. I wasn't sure if I had enough." She said. I put an arm around her shoulder and we sat down at the tree.

"Sure. I like being able to take care of my friends." I said with a warm smile. Sango rubbed my head in the same way you would rub a dog's head.

"You're so sweet that way, Kagome." She told me.

"You're such a bad liar." I shot down her compliment. She gave me a scolding look them turned her attention back to what I'd just bought her. She ate the chips like her life depended on it, and I slowly inched away. The bell rang, and we headed to health class. That passed by quickly, since we were watching a movie, and then gym class came. Soon, school got out and I walked home. I got on the computer and my instant messenger clicked on.

Inuyasha instant messaged me before I could even start closing the many annoying pop-ups.

DogEars50- Hey, Kagome. I have a question to ask you...

KagomeAnne1- Okay. So ask me.

DogEars50- Do you want to go to the movies on Saturday?

KagomeAnne1- Sure! Let me make sure my mom will let me...

KagomeAnne1- Mom said yes... So how do we get there and all those details?

DogEars50- I'll have my dad take the both of us there. Do you know what movie you want to see?

KagomeAnne1- You're kidding, right? You're asking my opinion. I'm the girl who's too afraid to even ask for chips in the student store!

DogEars50- Right. Sorry 'bout that. I'll pick you up around 4, alright?

KagomeAnne1- Sure. I'll be here. Not like I have anywhere to go...

DogEars50- lol

Sure enough, Saturday came. I was so nervous and the only thing going through my mind was the relationship. I didn't know if he looked at this as a date, or if he thought of it as just a friend thing. I guess I got more worried about it just because I was starting to get a crush on him.

We watched the movie Zathura. I didn't want to, but Inuyasha thought that it'd be cool. I was always too shy to say anything about what I wanted. I was always afraid it would come across as rude. So, I sat and watched the movie. It was much better than I thought.

Then we went outside and waited for his dad to pick us up. That didn't take long. I almost started asking him where he was waiting for us at, but I managed to restrain myself. Sunday didn't even come after that. I went to sleep at six that night and woke up long after church had gotten out. It didn't matter, because I wasn't too interested in going. I had some dinner that my grandma made, then went back to bed.

Monday came faster than I had hoped. Still, I walked to school and breezed through my classes. Nothing happened, other than I didn't do my art work again. I loved art, but the class just didn't work with me. The teacher never made any sense and didn't explain the work to you when you needed her to. I hated her with a passion.

I had to take a test during lunch time. I missed something in math class, and he said he wouldn't be there after school. I told Sango and Miroku in science class and skipped eating altogether. I was hungry, but I didn't have time to get anything. Soon, lunch was over, then health class was over. And I was stuck in gym class again. This class always seemed to take longest.

I got dressed out, helping my friend Eri open her locker. She can never open the padlock for some reason. It's amost funny, but it's too common to be funny.

"Hi, Kagome!" A girl greeted me as I walked out of the locker rooms. I only knew about her because we looked identical to each other. People often mistook us for each other, and this wasn't my first meeting with her.

"Oh... Hi Kikyou." I found myself replying. I didn't care much for her because she was always rude, self-absorbed, and bitchy.

"Hey, guess who I'm going out with." She prompted me. I looked at her, wondering if she really wanted me to guess. I didn't know anyone in the area, since I had hardly just moved there. I didn't want to know the person anyway. He'd probably be one of her mindless zombie slaves and spend all his money on her. Then she'd dump him and he'd never understand why. I pitied the moron who fell for her.

"Who?" I asked boredly. I didn't care for what she had so say, so I started looking around. All the kids who were sittingo n the metal rail with me were facing the locker rooms. Another one of the kids in class had said it was like birds on a phone line. They lal face one way, and then someone will face the other way for no reason.

"His name is Inuyasha." She said. I stared at her for a while, wondering if there was another Inuyasha in the school.

"Inuyasha Taisho?" I asked her.

"Yah... Why, is there another Inuyasha in the school?" She asked. She tilted her head in a way that was probably aimed to get a boy's attention. Perhaps it would be cute, if I didn't have to worry about Inuyasha kissing her after she looked at him like that. The thought of Inuyasha and her flashed through my mind, and I felt like throwing up. I didn't run to the bathroom, since I hoped to gross her out.

"No... I... well, I was just shocked that you're dating one of my friends. That's all." I murmured. From the way Inuyasha had acted towards me while we watched the movie, I thought that he liked me. I had hoped that he liked me. Perhaps he took me being gone during lunch as a sign that I didn't like him?

"You're one of his friends!" She asked me with a shocked expression. Kikyou would have made a very good actress. She seemed like she was surprised to hear the news, but she wasn't at all. I could see it in her eyes. I saw it in her eyes that resembled mine all too well.

"Yeah... He's one of my friends that I hang out with during lunch." I managed to say.

"I didn't see you today." She points out cleverly. She could be a bitch when she wanted. She wanted to be one at the time.

"I was doing some math tests that I missed on Friday." I replied to her. She nodded her head, showing me that she didn't believe me. I didn't care, because I knew that she was just trying to push me out of the group. She wanted to replace me. After all, we were the same in every way.

"Well, will you be there tomorrow? I want to see how the four of you are together." She told me. I knew she was lying, and I knew there was no reason for me to be going. I was being replaced, and I was able to tell already. Still, I nodded my head and I promised her that I'd do it.

Lunch the next day was different. Normally, Inuyasha and Miroku would bring us our lunch, and we'd talk about whatever. No. With Kikyou there, I didn't get any food. She had made it very clear that Inuyasha was NOT to be feeding me or else she'd hurt him. Whatever.

Sango and Miroku sat very close to each other, so I wasn't able to sit next to them. Kikyou kept scooting towards Inuyasha, even though he was trying to keep a distance, and she was giving me looks. She was giving me looks saying that she had claimed Inuyasha. I guess I was just screwed that way.

That day, in algebra class, someone thought I was her. They kept asking if I was dating Inuyasha. As much as I wanted to say yes and kiss him, I had to say no. They didn't believe me at all, and insisted that it was me. After all, we do look the same and a lot of people can't tell us apart. More of my screwed up luck showed.

The week went on like that. I didn't get lunch, because I didn't have any money. I had been saving up for Sango's gift, and I wouldn't bring my money with me to school. I didn't want to get tempted to buy anything. So, I wouldn't eat, and no one would feed me. I didn't mind, but my stomach did. So did my heart.

I felt so rejected to have Inuyasha take Kikyou over me. Something about Kikyou bothered me, but I didn't know what. She seemed so fake. The bright colors of her makeup made you think she was likea little girl. The innocent-child look was over-reaching it, and I didn't know how to warn Inuyasha of my suspicions. Kikyou was bad in my eyes, but I didn't want to hurt him by saying anything.

So, I didn't. I watched them flirt and took Kikyou's harsh glares. The only reason I started going with them at lunch was to make sure she didn't take him away from the group. I wanted to make sure that Inuyasha would at least have a lunch-chat with Sango and Miroku. I'd been a shadow since Kikyou's appearance, so I didn't care anymore.

Gym class, one week later, became the class I hated the most. It'd been 9 days since Inuyasha and Kikyou had started dating, that didn't bother me. Inuyasha was trying to spoil his Kiki-baby, that didn't bother me as much. The fact that Kikyou suddenly started to consider me a friend bothered me a lot. I had been mean to this girl as much as I could, just so she'd leave! What in the fucking world made her think that we were friends!
