Chapter 2 – The Rumors Begin

"Quale attore / attrice preferisce?" Mr. Romano looked at Kagome and asked.

Kagome loved this class, Mr. Romano did expect you to learn Italian, but you didn't have to answer in Italian.

"My favorite actor is, and always will be, Orlando Bloom."

Kouga growled at the name in a minor jealous fit.

"I guai della pigniata sabe sol' o cucchiao."

Kouga just stared aqwardly at his teacher and, as the teacher left the room to grab something from the teacher's lounge, turned to Kagome.

"What did he say?"

"Weren't you listening? He said, I guai della pigniata sabe sol' o cucchiao."

"And that means…"

"The troubles deep in the pot are only known by the spoon."

Kouga rolled his eyes and was thankful that they watched a movie for the rest of class.

"See ya Kags!" Kouga said as he kissed Kagome's cheek and left.

Kagome grabbed her schedule and looked at it, math. Kagome hated math. She briskly walked into her algebra class and took the last seat available, right in the middle of InuYasha's crew. (Here is a chart of the crew surrounding her):

Miroku Renkotsu Hakkaku

InuYasha Kagome Naraku

Bankotsu Hiten Jakotsu

"Well class, were you're sitting is you're new permanent seat for this quarter so I hope you chose a good one, if everyone would pass their homework forward…"

Kagome struggled through the class and Kagome finished her homework in class.

Her next class was much more bearable and luckily she was running next to two of her friends, Kouga on her left and Sango on her right.

"This class sucks, this stuff is fuckin' easy!" Kouga yelled next to a panting Kagome. Sango was used to this so she was keeping up pretty well.

"Speak for yourself." Kagome muttered. The entire period was spent on a four mile run, two laps around the entire school and they were already three-fourths around on their second lap.

"Kagome, wanna go to the Valentines Day dance with me?"

"Kouga, if I survive P.E. I guess I'll go to the dance with you."

Kagome began to jog again and Kouga grabbed Kagome and Sango's wrists after moving to the middle and sprinted the rest of the way and sat on the grass while waiting for the class period to be over.

"Kouga, are you working at the daycare center today?" Asked Kagome, Sango left the two alone as soon as they retched their destination.

"Yeah, you plan on coming to help?"

"SURE!"

"Shiori and Shippo have been wondering when you'd come back." Kouga smirked. His aunt, Ginta and Hakkaku's mom, forced him to help out at her daycare center.

The bell rang and the group went down to lunch. Kouga, Sango, and Kagome got in line for the taco salad since that was better than cafeteria egg salad sandwich. Kouga left to eat lunch with his other friends and Kagome and Sango ate together.

Once they got to the table Sango pounced, "So, is it true that your mom is getting married to InuYasha and Sesshoumaru's dad?"

Kagome glared at her friend and took another bite out of her lunch.

"Kagome this is major news, think about it, you'd be statim celebrer!"

"Sango, I don't speak Latin."

"Instantly popular! Imagine us popular!"

"Yeah, imagine us, most hated for being even semi related to the faggots."

Sango frowned, "Don't be a hater, be a 'ppreciator!"

Kagome laughed at her friend's antics.

"So Kagome, is it true or not?"

Kagome merely took a last bite of her taco and went to dump her tray.

On her way back she noticed people staring at her and Sango sitting on their table talking to Kikyou.

As Kagome got to the table, Kikyou left. Naraku looked at Kagome and rolled his eyes.

"So Sesshoumaru, your father is really sinking low enough to marry a second human?" Naraku asked amusedly and smirked.

"Yes, but this one has kids."

Jaken dumped Naraku, Kaguya, Kanna, Kagura, Tsubaki, Menoumaru, Ruri, Kaijinbou, Urasue, Hari, Hiten, and Sesshoumaru's trays and scurried back like the follower he was.

Tsubaki looked interested. "How many? Let's hear named."

Sesshoumaru looked at her boredly, "Six, Kikyou, Kagome, Souta, Kaede, Rin, and Mayu."

"Kagome Higurashi! That bitch will be your half-sibling?" Ruri was shocked; the Higurashis were perhaps the complete opposite of the Takahashis.

The lunch bell rang and Sesshoumaru got up, followed by his friends and their two followers, Jaken and Gatenmaru.

Sango and Kagome left lunch and headed strait for their next class: geophysical.

Their next few classes flew by and the next thing Kagome knew, school was over.

"See ya Sango!" Kagome called as they left for their lockers. Kouga put his hand around her waist and licked her ear.

"Are you ready to go yet?" He whispered huskily in his lover's ear.

"Yeah!" Kagome replied energetically, she loved helping out at the daycare center.

It was 5:30 when Kouga dropped her back at home. Kagome rushed up the shrine steps and her eyes widened when she saw a moving truck moving her stuff.

"Mom!" Kagome yelled as she ran up to her mother. "What's going on?"

"Hello Kagome! How was Kibou? You're going out with her nephew Kouga now right?"

Kagome nodded her head slightly and rushed over to the backyard and watched as Kikyou, Rin, Mayu, Souta, InuYasha, and even Sesshoumaru engaged in a conversation.

Mayu noticed Kagome and waddled as fast as she could to her sister's side. Kagome picked her up.

"'Gome, truck?"

"It's a moving truck. Did mommy saw we were moving?"

"'Taisho!" Mayu burbled happily. Kagome nodded and went over to Kikyou without setting her sister down.

"Kikyou? Can I have my car keys?" Kikyou tossed Kagome her keys without even looking at her.

Sesshoumaru followed Kagome as she went to her mom, told her where she was going, and buckled Mayu in.

Kagome sat furiously as she attempted to get her car to start and her expression got worse when she saw her gas gauge was down to empty and trash littered her floor.

Sesshoumaru walked up to the car window and raised an eyebrow.

"'Gome, Fluffy!"

Kagome looked at Mayu, and then out of the window. Sure enough, there was Sesshoumaru.

"What do you want?" She spat.

"You can use my car since InuYasha wrecked yours, but I want to drive."

Kagome glared, "Fine."

Kagome opened the door to her car and got out. She closed her door, went to the back, and picked up Mayu in one arm and Mayu's car seat in the other.

Sesshoumaru set up Mayu's car seat and the only thing going through Kagome's mind was, 'What is he up to?'

A/N- How is it? I really wanted to leave a cliffhanger and I'm starting to put the kid's on it more. R&R!
