-1A/N: Thanks for all the reviews I got last chapter. I'm sorry if it took me longer to reply to your reviews than normal, but my internet quit working, and that kind of set me back four days. Sorry. Ok so here is chapter twelve, and by the way I am starting a new story, it isn't very unique but I have always loved the idea. It should be posted by the time this chapter is up…maybe.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha!

Chapter 12: Skip School

Kagome sat in herroom staring at her mirror which hung on the wall. Her stereo sent a constant pulse through her room, causing her to sway back and forth with the music.

Give me the dust of my fathers,

Stand on the face of the ancients,

Bare the secrete flesh of time itself,

Follow me…

I've come so far, I'm behind again,

Follow me…

I wish so hard I'm there again,

Follow me…

All that I wanted were things I had before,

All that I needed, I never needed more,

All of my questions are answers to my sins,

And all of my endings are waiting to begin,

I know the way, but I falter,

Can't be afraid of my patience,

There's a sacred place Razel keeps safe,

Follow me…

I've seen so much I'm blind again,

Follow me…

I feel so bad I'm alive again,

Follow me…

All that I wanted were things I had before,

All that I needed, I never needed more,

All of my questions are answers to my sins,

And all of my endings are waiting to begin…

Kagome let her mind carry her away as she remembered the last time she had been listening to the song.

His room was dark. She lay on the floor, her arms and legs sore, and blood trickled from her lip. He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her up to face him. He stared deeply into her eyes before taking a deep breath and spitting in her face. Kagome flinched and let the tears flow. Of all things that had hurt the most, his disrespect for her hurt more than anything, more than any pain. He dragged her over to his full length mirror. He turned her to face it and placed his face next to her ear.

"You are no one." He whispered in her ear. "You are a piece of trash. Look at you, your pathetic. Ugly. Ridiculous. You… are… no one."

Kagome glared at her reflection with hatred. He was right, she was hideous. She looked dead. Her face was pale, her cheeks and eyes bright red from crying, her hair looked like a rats nest. Her lips crusted with blood just added to her "beauty."

"Say it…" He whispered to her again. "Say it, say I am nothing." Kagome remained silent. "SAY IT!" He screamed in her ear as he slapped her in the back of the head.

"I am nothing." She whispered.

"Louder!"

"I am nothing."

"Again."

"I am nothing!"

"That's right you little bitch." He threw her on the floor and then walked away.

Kagome came back to the present and looked in the mirror. "I am nothing…" She whispered as she fell backwards onto her bed and drifted into sleep.

Sango stood in front of her mirror and stared at her reflection. Miroku came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her.

"I love you baby." He whispered in her ear.

"I love you too sweetheart."She turned around and threw her arms around his neck giving him a long passionate kiss.

"When are we going to get married?" He asked her as she turned away and started brushing her hair.

"Soon Miroku, soon." Sango answered as she started to apply facial cream. "I want to graduate first so it will be this summer."

"Well how about in June?" Miroku questioned.

Sango turned to him and smiled. "I love you, June sounds great."

"Where do you want to have it?" He asked with a smile.

Sango stared off into the distance with a dreamy look in her face. "Mmm…" She smiled. "Outside, I will have a white dress," She looked up at him seriously "But it has to be poofy at the bottom" She stared off again dreamily. "It will be so beautiful."

"Well if you want to have it outside, then how about my grandparents house? The have a beautiful yard…" Miroku suggested as he climbed into bed.

"Yeah… sounds nice. I love you."

"I love you too."

Sango walked over to the bed and climbed in too. "We have plenty of time to worry about the wedding. I'm exhausted." She laid her head on the pillow and was soon overcome by sleep.

Kagome woke in the morning and prepared for school. She didn't know what she should expect today, especially after her little run in with Kikyo a few days before. Kagome laughed. It had been worth it. She took a moment and remembered how Inuyasha had looked that day when he had revealed his demon self. 'Soon he will be faced with the decision to accept his demon blood and become a full demon, or to become human… poor Inuyasha… wait Sesshomaru, he is at least eighteen, that means he has already made his decision… I wonder what it was.' Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on her window. She turned around and saw Inuyasha crouched on her windowsill.

"Inuyasha…" Kagome ran over to her window, opened it, and Inuyasha jumped through. "What are you doing here?"

Inuyasha walked towards. "I was thinking about you this morning and decided I would come over and see what was up… I just had a feeling something was wrong."

"Oh is that part of your…" Kagome made dog ears on her head with her hands.

Inuyasha laughed. "Yeah… I guess you could say that."

Inuyasha stared at her. He had not realized what she was wearing before but now he realized he had caught her before she had changed out of the clothes she had been sleeping in the night before. She wore a tight midriff shirt and short shorts. Her hair, which she had failed to do anything with yet, fell around her shoulders in soft waves. 'She is beautiful.'

Kagome realized he was staring at her and suddenly she became very self-conscious. A blush slowly enveloped her cheeks. They stood silent for a moment before Inuyasha finally broke it. "Hey Kagome…"

"Yeah?" She asked as she turned away quickly.

"You want to skip school with me today?" Inuyasha asked with a grin.

She turned towards him playfully. "Skip school? Inuyasha, I don't know if I can do that… I mean… it's just… breaking the rules… what would you're mother think?"

Inuyasha's grin faded and he turned away from her.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome walked up behind him. "I'm sorry, I was just kidding, I thought you knew…"

'Mother… I can't let them use Kagome the way they used mother…' "It's ok Kagome, don't worry. So do you want to? We will go to the beach or something…"

Kagome smiled. "Of course. Just let me get dressed."

"Ok." Inuyasha stood where he was.

Kagome playfully smacked him in the chest. "Leave."

"Fine…" Inuyasha frowned. "I feel so unloved…" He walked over to her door and left.

Kagome dug through her dresser for her black two piece bathing suit and put it on under a black tank top and short black skirt with fishnets. She put on some dark eyeliner, slipped on her black skating shoes, and then walked out of her room.

Inuyasha walked down the stairs and into the living room. Miroku and Sango stopped what they were doing and looked up at Inuyasha.

"Umm, good morning Inuyasha…" Miroku grinned slightly. "I'm guessing you slept well last night."

Inuyasha stared confused. "Um, yeah I did."

"Didn't take you long to zoom in on Kagome did it?" Sango giggled.

'Shit! They think I stayed here with Kagome last night… what should I say? I can't just tell them I jumped up to her second story window, I guess I have to go along with it.'

"We didn't do anything… she was just upset and I stayed with her because it was so late… and I didn't want her driving…" 'Good thing I didn't drive here this morning..'

Kagome walked into the room. 'Oh… they think… oh well…'

"Good morning Kagome…" Sango cooed.

"Good morning Sango." Kagome smiled.

"You ready to go to school?" Sango questioned.

"Um, actually I'm not going today. I'm going to the beach… with Inuyasha." Kagome walked to the kitchen to avoid any further conversation about the subject. When she came back out Miroku was gone for work and Sango was gone for school.

"Well if we are going to get to the beach, we better get going." Inuyasha commented. Kagome grabbed her keys and they hit the road.

Rin stood outside her house waiting for Sesshomaru to arrive. He was already twenty minutes late and she was getting aggravated. 'It's not like Sesshomaru to be late… maybe something is wrong. Maybe I should just start walking…' Rin made up her mind and started to walk the five miles to her school. She would be major late but the way things were going she was already late. 'I knew he would leave me…' She hung her head and let a tear roll down her cheek.

Sesshomaru stood in his kitchen getting ready to leave to pick up Rin and go to school when he felt a presence enter the room.

"Sesshomaru."

"Yes father?"

"That girl you hang around."

"What of her?"

"If you are not careful she will be pulled into this mess…"

"I will not let anything harm her Father."

"You care for her do you not?"

"…" Sesshomaru remained silent.

"She is human! And not a special one either… she can not withstand the force of what will come."

"She is not ordinary Father… she is special to me."

"Bring her here to me… I will determine her worthiness, until then do not hang around her, or I will take matters into my own hands. Understood?"

"Yes, Father."

His father left the room. Rin would surely be upset with him. 'Curse him… I'm so sorry Rin. Please forgive me…'

Kagome and Inuyasha reached the beach at around noon. There was barely anyone there, which excited them. They hated large crowds. Kagome took of her shirt, skirt, and fishnets off leaving her in her two piece. Inuyasha took of his shirt and pants leaving him in his swimming trunks. Kagome took off running towards the water with Inuyasha close behind her. When she reached the shore, she sat in the shallow water letting the small waves rush over her. She closed her eyes and relaxed.

"It's so nice here. I'm glad you invited me Inuyasha." She opened her eyes and saw Inuyasha sitting next to her. "Yeah well now Miroku and Sango thin we have something going on…"

"I'm sorry."

"What? Don' be, I don't mind."

"Um, Inuyasha? About you being a half demon… what do you do when you become a full demon?"

"It's had to explain, but in order to remain like I am now, I mean to look the same when I become a full demon, I must find a counter part by my nineteenth birthday, a year after I make the choice."

"What is the counter part?" Kagome asked with interest.

"Oh, nothing for you to worry about." Inuyasha turned away from her.

Kagome stood and started to walk out farther into the water. She walked until her shoulders were even with the water then turned to look at Inuyasha. 'Something is wrong with him. I just don't know what. I wish I could tell.' Kagome thought for a moment.

Inuyasha stood and walked towards Kagome. Once he came to be even with her in the water, he stared intently into her eyes. He couldn't let anything happen to her. He felt the need to protect her, a need he had never felt towards anyone before. He smiled at her then leaned forward. Kagome looked on confused. Inuyasha got closer and closer till finally picked her up into his arms and threw her into the water.

Kagome traveled under a few feet then resurfaced. "Inuyasha! I'm going to kill you!" Kagome laughed as she swam after him towards the shore.

Rin sat alone at lunch. The spot which normally contained Sesshomaru was empty. She had been there for ten minutes already. She had seen him in the hallway earlier that day and told herself that he had just had something he had to do that morning and that was why he hadn't picked her up. But now he hadn't even shown up for lunch. 'Why is he doing this?' Rin laid her head on the table till she felt a presence around her. She picked up her head and saw Sesshomaru pass by her throwing a piece of paper on her table. Rin picked it up and opened it.

Rin,

I have something I must discuss with you. Meet me after school at the lake 3:30. I am so sorry about this morning, but I do have good reasoning. I hope will come. -Sesshomaru.

And know for your reading pleasure, a little thing called an RPG me and my friends makeup when we are sitting in class with nothing to do (other than pay attention but who does that anyways? Lol) WARNING BAD LANGUAGE!

Kagome: Blah, blah, blah….

Rin: Kagome, have you been doing those black pills again? Cause if you are that is shameful!

Kagome: Oh Rin, you act so innocent! You should scold me not for doing pills when you yourself are doing a certain fluffy demon.

Rin: What? Who told you that? (grasps her notebook hard) Did Inuyasha tell you that? He is completely oblivious… we are not doing each other. We are making love!

Kagome: What! Inuyasha! And YOU! I was talking about Sesshomaru! (looks pissed) INUYASHA! SIT BOY!

Inuyasha: (falls from random tree) Damnit!

Miroku: And you all thought I was the pervert!

Rin: No, I um… meant, I thought Inuyasha told you 'bout me and Sesshomaru… um…

Inuyasha: God Kagome! Next time let her fucking finish!

Kagome: Yeah, yeah, sure whatever. (Kagome gets an evil look on her face) RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU"VE DONE INUYASHA!

(Kagome, Rin, Sango, and Kikyo all raise their hands. Naraku pops out of a random bush and raises his hand too. Inuyasha turns bright red and falls over)

Kagome: INUYASHA! I thought you were an Inu Youkai! You are supposed to be faithful and mate for life!

Inuyasha: But I am also half human too… I have needs…

Kagome: Inuyasha! SIT BOY! SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT BOY!
