Chapter 3-Meeting Rin!
"Oka Kags, why did we have to go 'unpack'?" Sango asked, walking towards their cabin. Kagome crossed her arms as she walked, looking at the ground. Her guilt to lying to the boys pricked at her heart, though she couldn't figure out why. She had lied all the time, why did it bother now? Her whole life was a lie, and yet she could brush it off like a strand of hair. But now, she felt as if a piece of gum was placed onto her shoulder and she couldn't pull it off.
"I just wanted to leave." She finally replied, not caring how pathetic she sounded. She still stared at the ground as Sango glanced over her shoulder and at the miserable girl behind her, a slightly smile crossing her lips. She couldn't believe that she hadn't seen it sooner!
"Or was it because Inuyasha overpowered you?" Kagome paused before she snorted at Sango's remark.
"I don't care about Inuyasha or his stupid ego. He can go chock on his cockiness for all I care. And he didn't overpower me; he just caught me by surprise."
"Oka, you don't need to prove yourself to me Kagome. It's me you're talking to, not him. Why do you let him get to you anyways? And don't even say that he doesn't, because I know you way better than that." Kagome stopped her remark at Sango's comment, slowly forgetting her denial. Giving up on lying for a short time, Kagome sighed and sat down on a flat rock that was in-between the two cabins. She didn't want to answer, though she knew she couldn't wiggle her way out of this one. No matter what she came up to defend the truth, she knew Sango would realize her false alibi and ask again. She watched a boy with a shade of odd silver hair pass by them. As soon as she had seen him disappear, she just admitted the truth.
"It's just I feel like every time I'm with him, I have to act really different than when I do when it's just you and me." She said, letter her hair be tangled with the wind that begged the dark strands to come out and play.
"You act different with everyone. Sometimes you're calm, and other times you can get a little more aggressive with your personality. But I just think its cause you're afraid." Sango sighed as Kagome looked over at her, shock painted into her features. She knew exactly what Kagome was about to ask, but she didn't say anything to stop her. She already had a comeback to the question.
"Scared of him!"
"No, scared that you think he's cute." Laughter escaped Sango as she watched her friend's face switch colors quickly. Sango had always loved to make Kagome blush. It only got better when there were people around. The reason was because without Kagome's knowledge, Kagome seemed to get cuter when she blushed. Her reddened cheeks brought out the childish soul that she once owned, and that Sango wished that her friend would someday retrieved it back.
"Sango, you have no ground to stand on. One look at Miroku and you look like you're about to faint." Though Sango had stronger control over her blush, a pink tine was still evident.
"I do not! That pervert's not even cute!" Lying was not a strong suit for Sango. Both girls knew, yet Sango still tried.
"Sango, you make him seem like a movie star."
"But we aren't talking about be. We're talking about you and your tiny crush on Inuyasha."
"There is no me and Inuyasha!"
"Why would there be a you and Inuyasha?" Sango looked behind her to see Kouga leaning on the side of the girl's cabin. Chills ran down both Sango and Kagome's spines. Bugs seemed to crawl under their skin, and a cold wind blew by, causing them to shiver. Kagome didn't need to know who this person was, because all warning signs in her mind told her to run for her life. Sango's signs were already worn out from the bus ride.
"Kouga, what are you doing out here? Shouldn't you be unpacking?" Sango asked. Kouga shrugged, his mind not wanting to be taken away from the girl that he wished to be introduced to. His eyes wandered her body, making her body slightly shake with fear. For some reason, a sense of want was flickering in his eyes like a blue flame, begging to be closer to Kagome. She felt more like a trophy to be gawked at than a person.
"Who's this Sango?" Kouga asked as he tore his gaze away from Kagome to look back at Sango, who was starting to feel like she needed to be polished and set up on a trophy rack next to Kagome.
"Kouga, this is Kagome. Kagome, this is Kouga obviously." Without a warning, Kouga grabbed Kagome's hand and brought it up to his lips, kissing it lightly.
"It's nice to meet you Kagome. Are you and Sango in the same cabin?" As if Kouga's lips were dripping with acid, Kagome pulled back.
"Yes, we're in cabin 13." She replied, rubbing her hand to get the feeling that he left behind on her hand. She made a mental note to wash her hands when she got back into the cabin.
"Well I guess that means you two lovely ladies will be sharing the same schedule as me, Miroku, and the other kid."
"His name is Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted quickly, causing Sango to jump slightly and look over at her. "That other kid's name is Inuyasha. I think it would be a good idea that you made a note of that, since you seem to be able to remember girl's names better. Or maybe you just don't like him, either way; you need to call him by his name."
"Oh yes, well I must go now and meet him. It seems like he is a…nice kid. Well until I am blessed with you two's beauty again, goodbye." Kouga walked towards his cabin, not seeing the fake smiles on the girl's faces. As soon as Kouga had disappeared into the cabin, Kagome's false smile dropped dead on the ground.
"Who does he think he is? He comes over and starts hitting on us, then goes and insults Inuyasha by not even trying to remember his name, then plans to meet up with us again!" Kagome was outraged and felt violated as she shoved her black strands out of her eyes sight. Sango crossed her arms over her chest, as if shielding herself from an invisible set of eyes.
"He does give me the creeps. He makes me feel like I'm just a piece of meat for him to feast on when he stares at us like that." Sango replied softly.
"Well we better go back inside our cabin before the pervert starts to spy on us from the window." Sango slapped Kagome's arm at the smart comment.
"Don't say that! We barley know him. Besides, I doubt he would do that."
"First of all, I don't plan on getting to know him. If he wants to stare at some hoe, he can go stare at our good friend Kikyo. I'm sure she won't mind the extra attention. Second, you don't have to sleep next to the window, I do. Let's just hope he doesn't, I don't feel like getting gawked at in my sleep."
"Do you always have a negative attitude with everyone you meet?" Kagome smirked at this, walking towards the cabin as she responded to the question with her own.
"If I was so negative to everyone, then how am I your friend?" Sango paused for a moment before running after her friend.
"Pure luck I guess." Sango laughed at Kagome's shocked face.
"That was so hurtful. I don't think I even want to talk to you right now. Don't even try to talk to me; I've been wounded by your horrible words." Kagome quickly opened the door, her hand coming up to her heart to add drama to her act. Sango rolled her eyes as she watched the charade.
"Oh quit it, I was only joking." Kagome shook her head.
"I don't know if I can forgive you. Maybe we should just go our separate ways." She turned the doorknob completely, walking in the cabin to see Kikyo and another girl sitting on the couch next to Kikyo. The brown haired girl seemed to be bored, since her bright brown eyes were unfocused and she seemed to be zoning out. She seemed bored, though Kikyo didn't seem to notice. Her words were shooting out of her mouth like spitfire, though it seemed to only be heard by her.
"Well I guess Kikyo found a friend to bored to death." Kagome said, walking into the room. As if Kagome had spoken the magic words, the girl was snapped out of her trance. Kikyo glared over at Kagome before she snorted and rolled her eyes.
"Well, it looked like the cat coughed up two knew freak balls." Kikyo said, playing with her hair. Sango spoke up before Kagome could open her mouth, afraid at what would come out.
"Kikyo, why don't you introduce us?" Sango suggested.
"Like she cared about you two." Kikyo's nose was higher than the Eiffel tower. The girl next to Kikyo spoke up after this comment.
"Well I do like to know who my teens are for the summer. Hello, I'm Rin. I'm you camp counselor for the summer. We were told to come by our camp cabins and make sure that the kids were all set."
"Well nice to meet you Rin, this is Kagome, and I'm Sango." Both girls shook Rin's hand before Kikyo butted in.
"Wow, you two DO have manors." Finally, Sango snapped.
"Look you little conceited princess, we don't like you and you don't like us, so just leave us alone and I won't have to break every little pedicure nail of yours. Got it?" The look in Sango's eyes was enough to scare the gods, begging Kikyo to challenge her threat.
"I think Sango means that if you don't bother us, then we won't bother you." Kagome's words were kinder, though Kikyo didn't seem to notice.
"Like I would want to hang out with you losers anyways. I'll be spending most of my time with the boys. Too bad they won't notice you two, you need boyfriends." Rin cut in on Kikyo's cruel language.
"I can't see that you three don't get along well, but while you are under my control, you won't fight. If you even make a smart comment to each other, I will have you clean the bathrooms on you hands and knees. Then, I'll make sure that you get excluded from the next day of activities and will stay here and rewrite the dictionary. Got it?" Rin's temper was as hot as she stared at the three girls in front of her. Though she seemed very sweet, not even Kagome wanted to get on her bad side.
"Yes." Sango replied.
"Not a problem with me." Kagome remarked before she walked over to her stuff.
"Yea yea, I'm not the one who starts it though." Kikyo mumbled the last part, though she stopped when Rin shot her a look. Sango looked over at Rin, a smile on her face.
"Hey Rin, will you help me with my stuff?" Sango asked, causing Rin to nod.
"Sure, I don't mind." At the remark, Sango's smile formed into a smirk.
"Good, because I have a little more than Kagome, so I doubt that she will need help with her things." Kagome rolled her eyes at this.
"She has four bags." Rin looked over at Sango, confusion painted on her face.
"Is that abnormal?" Rin asked. Sango could only shrug.
"Well Kagome only brought one."
"Wow, usually the girls bring about six bags. Two for make up, three for clothes, and one for shoes."
"I put all three of those into one." Kagome replied simply, pouring everything out of her bag and onto the blue blanket on her bed. Most of the bag was filled with clothes, though there was another pair of shoes, a pair of sandals, a bottle of lip gloss, blue lotion, and the rest were the essentials. "I don't like wearing make-up. It annoys me for some reason."
"Well you're different from the rest not aren't you?" Rin asked, placing a shirt into Sango's top drawer. Sparks flew into Kagome's eyes as she answered, looking away from Rin. Thought she hid the sorrow in her eyes well, it was evident in her voice.
"I'm more different than you think." Chestnut eyes shifter over to her, slowly nodding her head as she went back to helping Sango unpack. Silence covered the cabin as Kagome shoved the rest of her stuff into one drawer and slammed it shut. She would organize it later, if she was in a better mood. Sango jumped slightly at the noise, though remained silent as her friend walked over to the window, placing her elbows onto the sill. She smiled, knowing that Kagome wanted to be alone.
Kagome stared out the window, more emotions scanning through her than anyone could keep track of. She pushed the glass of the window up, letting it latch at the top to keep from falling on her and only pissing her off more. She placed one hand out the window, all of her upper weight now being placed onto her other elbow, though she didn't care. Her eyes searched what she could see, watching the younger campers running around outside. A slight smile was barley visible on her face as she watched the kids play.
Though Kagome never really said it out loud, she had always loved little kids. She never minded when her neighbors asked her to watch any of the toddlers. She was more of a big sister than a babysitter to the children. And the kinds made her feel like the greatest person in the world. But since she was so busy, she rarely got to baby-sit.
"Well at least they aren't as bad as the perverts at our school huh?" Kagome quickly shifted her sight towards Sango, who was sitting on her bed. Kagome thought about the question before tilting her head.
"Who isn't?" She asked. Sango couldn't help but let a grin sweep across her mouth.
"The three guys." Kagome just shrugged, looking out the window again.
"Well one of them aren't like the boys at out school, but he's still a jerk." Kagome replied tracing her finger across the dust covered window-sill. She brushed the clinging filth off of her elbow and finger, letting it float in the air.
"One out of three of them aren't."
"Gee, I wonder who is the only one who doesn't need to get his head shoved into the wall." Sango just smirked at the strong comment.
"Well we can't still be friends with all three of them. The way, when Kouga starts to freak us out, we can just ask the other two to beat him up."
"One thing's for sure; I'm not going anywhere alone with that creep."
"Oh I know you want to spend some quality time with him." Kagome stared at Sango, the culprit looking up at the ceiling.
"I don't want to interrupt or anything, but who is Kouga?" Rin asked. Kagome looked over at Rin, forgetting that she didn't know who the pervert was.
"Where do we start?" Both girls replied simultaneously. Rin only sighed and she sat on Kagome's bed.
"I have a feeling this is going to take a long time to explain." She said crossing her legs as Kagome shook her head.
"No, I can explain it easy." She said.
"Really, then please do because I'm supposed to meet the other consoler in about." Rin stopped and looked at her watch. "About three minutes."
"Well basically he seems to me like a pervert who needs to be put in his place. And I might be the girl to do it if he ever kisses my hand again." Rin laughed at the younger girl's spunk, as well at the disgusted face she was now making. She stood up, letting Kagome sit on her bed.
"You are going to have to watch out for that. Since there are some older guys at this camp, they will try to make grabs for you. And I don't mean your arms." Sango's nose wrinkled at the meaning of the sentence.
"You mean like Miroku?" When Rin looked at her with confusion, Sango continued. "He touched my butt earlier, but I smacked him with my bag."
"I think that won't be the last time he dose that." Rin said.
"Yup, this is like out school, but summer version." Kagome smirked at Sango's comment.
"Well then I'll treat them exactly like the kids in our school."
"Oh girls, I'll be back tonight to tell you some rules but I have to go meet Shessomaru, bye!" And with the quick mumble of words she called a sentence; Rin was gone faster than the wind that has escaped into the room when she opened the door.
"She talks fast." Was all Sango said, falling backwards onto the bed.
"Well at least she isn't some preppy cheerleader or else I'd have to kill myself."
"You said it Kags." Sango grabbed the paper on her bed, guessing that Rin had left it behind. She read it carefully before looking back at Kagome. "This paper says that the first day, campers have the whole day to do whatever they want!"
"Well then, let's go check out our new 'home'."
Chappy finished for today! I know, I keep leaving them in awkward places but o well. What is wrong with Kouga? What will their new 'home' be like? Will Sango and Kikyo get into a fight while Kagome places bets! Um…you'll have to wait and see! Keep up the good reviews and I will comment at the end of every chapter to every person who sends me something. This will also be where I'm going to answer any questions, so don't go sending emails and stuff…I rarely look at email. Niki
