Hey guys! Sorry it took so long! Well here is the first of the final three chapters, so I hope you all like it. Its kind of sad to know that I lost interest in my story, I really have, but I promise to put enough interest in these last three chapters for ya. Rejoice with me all! I have a pathetic crush on my friend Devin, and he likes me too, at least I think and I hope so...God I hope so, he acts like he does. I love him to death! He's so hot too, and gods I love him! Now I can stop wallowing in my self-pity about my ex! To anyone who wishes to know I have posted the first chapter to Beautiful People, so when this story is over soon you all can switch over to that one PLEASE, LOL.

And Congratulations to Azn-grl-kagome12! She is my 100th reviewer! This entire chapter is dedicated to her! Thanks for all of your support, and without further ado, here is the next installment...

Last time:

'Damn, so it's gonna be harder than I thought. But I swear this day to you, Inuyasha Taisho, you WILL be mine! Just you wait and see, I have something planned for you and you precious pure, miko, half-breed.' Kikyo thought maliciously as she angrily stormed out of the office.

Chapter 12: Mayhem of Secrets & Plots

Kikyo sat quietly in the back of her pre-algebra class, on the second floor, calculating and forming a plan to tear Inuyasha and Kagome apart.

'Damn him. How dare he say that to me, of ALL people. They'll pay. If I can't have him no one else will, especially not that little whore clinging to his arm everywhere they go. She's probably not even a virgin, what a lying bitch, her "Im an innocent man stealing virgin" act won't faze me. I'll prove that she is un-pure and that I myself am pure.' She thought.

"Mr. Lowers, Can I go to the restroom?" she asked sweetly.

"Yes, Kikyo." He replied then handed her a pass.

As soon as Kikyo got within the bathroom doors she whipped out her pink and jewel encrusted cell phone and dialed.

"Hello Bankotsu. You there?"

"Yeah I'm here."

"Good. I need your help."

"What do you need?"

"I need you to get rid of some little twit that has her hands all over MY man!"

"Oh really, so Inuyasha was or is your man? Get real Kikyo it isn't gonna happen."

"Shut up Bankotsu, I don't need your opinions. Just take care of Kagome for me."

"Hmm, so Kagome is her name. I'm going to need a picture and by the way how do you want me to dispose of her?"

"Kill her, rape her, it's all the same to me as long as she is out of the way. Although...it'd be much more fun to make her want you and she winds up cheating on Inuyasha. Make her fall in love with you, then dispose of her any which way you see fit."

"Okay Kikyo, but you're going to have to give me some payment in return."

"Ugh you are sick..."

"I maybe but I know you love it, you crave my disgusting nature, you live for it and get thrills from it."

"Fine. I'll meet you in the alleyway behind Wacdonald's at 7:00 sharp. And then you WILL dispose of Kagome Higurashi." Kikyo said then hung up.

'That little virgin will learn never to cross paths with the whore of all harlots and her territory. No wait...I mean that little whore will learn never to cross paths with the purest of pures and her territory. Yeah...' she thought as she marched out of the bathroom and back to class with a renewed resolve.

Sango's POV

I was sitting quietly studying for my test in math when the call of nature hit me.

"Hey guys I'll be back, got to use the restroom." I said as I got up and headed toward the girl's bathroom.

When I finally reached the door, I saw that it was locked. 'Oh well I guess I have to go to the one on the second floor.' I thought as I made my way to the upstairs bathroom. After relieving myself I was about to flush the toilet when I heard the bathroom door open. I sat quietly in the stall waiting to hear who it was, when an all too familiar voice rang out within the tiled room.

"Hello Bankotsu. You there?"

'What is that slut planning now?' I thought and listened to as much as I could hear. At the end of her conversation I was seething in rage. 'That bitch. I am so going to kick her ass now. She cut that already thin line, an she'll pay for wanting to kill and destroy Kagome and my cousin, after I worked so hard.' I thought as I stormed out of the bathroom and back to the office.

End of POV

Kagome was still studying with Ayame's help when she looked up and saw Sango marching heatedly down the stairs.

"Sango, what's wrong?" She asked concerned about her friends obvious behavior.

"That bitch. How dare she!" Sango seethed while grasping her pencil a little too hard and snapping it in half.

"Sango! Calm down please!" Kagome exclaimed while resting her hands on her. "What happened? Who made you so mad?"

"I'll tell you later."

Just then the bell rang and all three girls headed off to their next class.

With Miroku and Inuyasha:

"Dang Inuyasha, did you see that look she gave you?" Miroku exclaimed while watching Kikyo walk down the hall.

"I mean it, I'm going to go file a restraining order on her. She better leave Kagome alone of I'll kill her myself." He growled.

"Kikyo, she had the look of pure devious, malicious, mischief when she glanced back at you. She's definitely up to something. What a slut and a bitch, I'd never touch her."

"Thank you for pointing that out captain obvious, I knew that, everyone knows that. " Inuyasha grumbled.

"You didn't think that during our seventh grade year..." Miroku began.

"All right shut up. I don't need to hear about my yearly lapse of sanity when I though I liked her okay."

"So Inuyasha, did you ever get any?" Miroku asked slyly.

"Get any what?" Inuyasha retorted while taking a drink of water.

"You know..." Miroku began then leaned over to whisper the rest in his sensitive ear.

Inuyasha's face turned red and he choked on his gulp of water. "NO! What would make you ask that!"

"I'm just asking, the whole scenario in the closet suggested otherwise." Miroku implied while shifting his eyebrows suggestively.

"Not that it is any of you business, but nothing happened, and if it did, I certainly wouldn't be crawling to you or anyone else to discuss it!" Inuyasha yelled as the bell rang and stormed out to the hall leaving a laughing Miroku in his wake, who just shook his head then headed of to his next class.

Lunch(too lazy to describe everything)

By the time lunch rolled around Sango had calmed down a bit, since she hadn't seen Kikyo all day, yet she hadn't said what was bothering her. All three girls headed toward their lunch table and noticed the guys already there, and the bitch now waltzing over there as well, with her posse in tow

"Hey Inu-baby, need a back rub?" Kikyo purred as she ran her hands up and down his chest and climbed onto his lap.

Inuyasha grabbed her hands tightly, ceasing her movements"Kikyo I told you never to come within 10 feet of me or Kagome, or you'll pay. So get the fuck off. And by the way that was NOT a back rub." He growled then pushed her off his lap onto the cold wood cafeteria floor.

When the girls came up to the scene, all sanity was almost lost as Sango laid eyes on Kikyo, sitting on the floor.

"What are you looking at bitch? You must be thinking about your man whore over there, or is it something else...perhaps something you heard?" Kikyo smirked as she taunted Sango, then got up and brushed off her short skirt. She knew that Sango was in the bathroom and had heard her conversation with Bankotsu, she wasn't that stupid to know she wasn't alone, but she knew Sango wouldn't tell being as thought she had some leverage.

"You know what it's about." Sango spat as she hardened her glare at Kikyo.

"Ahh yes, but you can't tell anyone." Kikyo replied nonchalantly.

"Why the hell not! What are you gonna do!"

"Now Sango, tell me what happened that fateful night. Don't you feel the guilt eating away at you? The night your brother and parents died, maybe we can reach a little understanding...I know you had..."

Sango's eyes flashed dangerously, and all her sanity and restraint completely snapped with that one comment."You bitch!" she screamed as she pulled back her fist a nailed Kikyo right in the eye and then wrestled her to the ground.

"How do you know what happened! I despise you, how dare you plot against my friends. And you act of payment disgusts me, you truly are a whore!" Sango screamed as she threw another punch, hitting Kikyo in the jaw.

"Sango, Calm down, please!" Kagome pleaded as tears pooled in her eyes and fell down her cheeks and face.

Sango looked up into the pleading sad look of Kagome and immediately stopped hitting Kikyo. Just then the principle burst into the lunch room.

"Just what the heck is going on here?" he demanded.

Kikyo all of a sudden burst into tears. "Oh it was terrible, I was just sitting down eating my lunch, minding my own business, when she just ran up and punched me in the face threatening to kill mefor NO apparent reason. It hurts sooo badly." Kikyo wailed as she ran to the nurse's office outside the cafeteria.

0ooo0ooo0

"Sango, I'm very disappointed in your behavior.You are the leader of this year's academic challenge team along with Kagome, both holding 4.0 GPA's. I would hate for this school to losethe5th time in arow because of your misconduct. So please refrain from fighting especially on school grounds. You can head back to lunch now." The Principle stated.

"Yes Mr. Hahn."Sango replied as she headed back toward the cafeteria.

"So Sango, my dear. What happened?" Miroku asked as she approached the table.

"I just got a "never do it again" speech, especially on school grounds. I'm sorry Kagome I never should have gotten out of control. It's just.."

"It's okay Sango, really you were just trying to protect me. I probably would have done the same thing." Kagome said while consoling her.

"Hey Sango, what did Kikyo mention about the night your parents and brother died. She said she knew you were feeling guilty, why is that?" Inuyasha asked, concern etched on his face.

"Never mind. It's not important." She quickly snapped"Inuyasha you might want to be weary of Kikyo, I caught her "elaborate" plan when I was in the bathroom."

"Great, what is she planning now?" He asked.

"Well she's having some new kid transfer here to and I quote"Bankotsu, Kill her, rape her, it's all the same to me as long as she is out of the way. Although...it'd be much more fun to make her want you and she winds up cheating on Inuyasha. Make her fall in love with you, then dispose of her any which way you see fit." End quote."

"I kill her, here and now. Kagome just stay away from this Bankotsu, while I deal with Kikyo. She won't get away with this." He growled, as he got up abruptly to make his way over to her table.

A soft silky hand on his wrist and a loving voice stopped him in his tracks. "Inuyasha, just let it go. If you resort to fighting and "killing" it'll just make matters worse, and you'll be just like them. Don't sink to their level, I know you're way above that. Please, don't do it." Kagome pleaded, while small tears formed in the corners of her eyes.

Inuyasha's anger completely melted away at the simple glance and gesture of love Kagome showed for him, he slowly sunk back down in his seat as he pulled her closer to him.

"Thank you, and you're right it would have made matters worse, but...this Bankotsu, he coul-"Inuyasha rambled on.

"Inuyasha, I love you. Only you, no one else. So don't fret or worry over nothing." Kagome soothed, then leaned over to plant a soft kiss on his lips.

"I love you too Kagome, forever and always my mate." He replied then kissed her again.

Just then Kagura walked up to them, "Kagome can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure, is anything the matter?" Kagome asked as she was being pulled out of the cafeteria by her cousin.

0ooo0ooo0

Kikyo was sitting back at her table with her friends when she noticed Sesshomaru's bitch dragging Kagome out of the lunch room rather briskly. 'I wonder where they're going to.' She thought as she quietly followed them. Her ears straining to hear their conversation.

"Kagome how could you not tell me? This is an important part your life you were keeping from us. How can you hide this from everybody? Your mother had to tell me." Kagura cried out.

"I didn't want everyone to be weird around me because of it. Besides I had to deal with it when I was seven and that lasted till I was ten, if I had told you guys then the reality of it would be just too much. I didn't ask for it to come back again, to haunt me a second time!" Kagome broke down and fell against the wall crying.

"Kagome, I promise you. None of us will act weird around you or ignore you because of it. We will never abandon you, how can we when we all love you dearly. Just trust us." Kagura said, consoling her crying cousin.

"I know, I do but Inuyasha..." She cried.

"Kagome, Inuyasha loves you and would never abandon you. Although he may be a little mad that you kept this from him, he will stay by your side I'll make sure of it." Kagura vowed.

"Thanks Kagura, I love you." She replied, then wiped away all her tears as she headed back to her love and friends.

0ooo0ooo0

"What did Kagura want to talk to you about? Are you alright?" Inuyasha asked as he saw his girlfriend come back, with tear stained cheeks.

"Yes, I'm fine. Hey I've got an idea, Sango and Miroku how bout you guys come over to Inuyasha's house and stay the night." Kagome suggested.

"Okay, I'm sure it'll be no problem with my aunt, or Miroku's mom." Sango replied just as the bell rang and they headed off to their classes.

'So little miss perfect is hiding a great secret from Inuyasha. This may prove to be their undoing.' Kikyo thought as she too headed off to her next class.

0ooo0ooo0

The day was almost over as Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha, and Ayame made it to 7th period before the bell rang. Each sat down in their specified seat, along with adding Ayame into their little collective group.

"Hay, Kagome what's up? Need a little help with the homework?" A deep masculine voice purred in her ear.

"No, Koga she doesn't need your help at all." Inuyasha growled as he turned to face the wolf, his golden eyes flashing a deep red.

"Fine, but remember Kagome if you ever want a real man, I'll be here." Koga said as he lifted his eyes off of her, only to land on someone he wished to forget. "Ayame? What are you doing here? I told you not to follow me." He growled out.

"Koga please, I didn't mean to follow you. My mom and your father were quite incessant on making you fulfill your promise to marry me, so blame them for causing you to lay eyes on me again." Ayame begged, tears clouding her vision.

"Fine, just don't come near me. I will never fulfill that stupid promise I made when we were 10, so just erase it from your mind." Koga stated, then walked back to his seat.

Ayame watched a second time as he walked away from her, tears slowly leaked out of her eyes. 'Oh Koga...I'll always love you...' She quickly wiped her tears before anyone noticed and went back to paying attention to the lesson, to get her mind off Koga's hurtful words.

0ooo0ooo0

They all finally made it through the trying day, each one carrying an overnight bag as they headed into Inu and Sesshy's house.

"Let's set up our sleeping bags in the living room." Sesshomaru suggested as he walked to the closet to get out some sleeping bags.

"I'll go make some popcorn and other various snacks." Kagome called out while walking into the kitchen with Kagura close behind.

"Kagome, you better tell everyone, especially Inuyasha. They have a right to know, you can't keep this information from them." Kagura said while cutting up apple slices.

"I know, I will." Kagome replied as she watched the popcorn.

"If you want me to, I can postpone my wedding until everything is better."

"Oh no don't do that because of me, don't put your whole life on hold because of me. Just go on with it, it would make me happy to be part of it." Kagome exclaimed.

"All right as longs as you feel up to it, and are okay. Let's head back and watch a movie."

All six friends gathered around the large screen watching intently as their favorite movie was being displayed, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.(I don't own it, it belongs to George Lucas, awesome movie by the way) Tears had been shed, laughs had been heard, commentary was given, and finally the movie was over after about 2 hours. (You don't know how bad I just want to leave it off here, letting you guess what Sango and Kagome's secrets are. But I'm nice and will continue on)

"That was so sad, It's heartbreaking to watch him turn to the dark side and practically kill his own wife." Kagome commented while wiping away the remnants of her tears.

"Yeah it was...whew, so what should we do now?" Sango asked.

'I know, since we've all only been friends for such a short amount of time. We'll write our names down in a hat and we will each get a chance to draw, and who's ever names is drawn will have to share a deep dark secret. So it proves we can trust each other." Kagura suggested, her red eyes locking with blue ones.

"Yes, let's." Kagome replied, then started to write names down.

She put them inside a hat, then held it out to Inuyasha. His hand extended out and picked one piece and quickly opened it. A smirk graced his features, "Sesshomaru."

"Fine, you want to know a secret...I love it when everyone calls me Fluffy." Shessy chuckled.

BAM

"That's not a deep dark secret, I already knew that. Come up with something better." Kagura fumed.

"Okay, fine. I finally found out what happened to my mother." Sesshomaru replied.

"What happened?" They all inquired.

"It turns out she abandoned me, when I was two years old. Which explains why I have absolutely no memory of her, only tid bits of her scent."

"Oh, Fluffy." Kagura consoled, hugging him tightly.

"All right, Shesshomaru it's you turn to draw a name." Kagome stated.

Sesshy reached his hand in and pulled out a name. "Sango."

"I have a confession you guys. The night of the fire...when...my parents and brother died...I..." Sango broke down, tears flowing freely.

Miroku reached over and pulled her into a tight embrace, "Shhh, it's okay Sango."

"I was angry with them, and ran away. But then I came back when the fire started, I heard their screams. I was just so angry, I let my pride get the best of me, and I let them die." She cried.

"Sango, how could you not tell us this? We're your family, don't you trust us? Oh Sango..." Inuyasha, and Sesshomaru exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, I meant to tell you really. But I got so frightened and scared, please forgive me. Well that's enough about that, let's see...Kagura." Sango quickly said.

"Hmm...a secret huh? Uh...I actually have a long lost half-sister that I found out about two days ago. The only problem is that she goes to our school, and is one of our enemies...Kanna."

"Oh my god, Kanna is your half-sister! Does she even know this!" They all exclaimed.

"Apparently not, but my father's lawyer said she will soon. Not that I truly care about that bastard's assets or estranged children. She seems like a mirror image of our dear father, more so in character traits rather than the looks I gained. Okay who's next...Miroku."

"Well it's sad to know that, my most favored habit came about from such a tragic experience. My father, a lecher, had many estranged women and children but I was always his favorite as well as my mother. One of the other women became extremely jealous and wanted to hurt me and my mother, but my dad saved us, at the cost of his own life. But I still never forgot his teachings, they will forever be a part of me. So Sango, my dove, will you bear my ch-"

BAM

"What a touching, FAKE story Miroku. We all know your habits have nothing to do with you honorable father, who is still ALIVE. Honestly, where do you get your habits from?" Sango asked.

"Well in that case, I-" Miroku began but was quickly cut off.

"Never mind, forget I even asked. No none wants to know what goes on inside that brain." Sango cut in.

"All right, let's see who's next...the lovely Kagome." Miroku grinned.

Her blues eyes locked with red ones, encouraging her to reveal the vital secret, to prove to those around that she trusted them.

"I'm..."

Hahahahaha I know I'm terrible, you've been waiting all this time. At least I revealed one secret to you, stay tuned for the next chapter coming real soon. Chapter 13: Healing Rain, and once again the prologue to Beautiful People is up and posted, and Chapter 1: A New Start, in current production.
