"You have got to be kidding me." The straw fell from her mouth as her jaw dropped. It fell into her drink with a plop. "Are you serious? Kagome is planning revenge just because Inuyasha called her a wench and had mistaken her for Kikyo?"

Ayame nodded her head in confirmation. "Yup."

Rin picked up her straw again. "I can't believe it. I mean, I thought Kagome was nice?"

"We thought so, too." Sango said as she looked around for Kagome.

"How come every time we meet Kagome is the last one here?" Kaiama questioned as she looked into a clothing store.

"Because she is always late?" Ayame answered with a question.

"Hey, guys! Sorry I'm late!" Kagome came running into the food court, her big yellow bag on her back.

She sat down heavily, out of breath. "Where's Kagura?"

"Yeah, where is she?" Ayame sipped on her latte.

"She's out with her new boyfriend." Kaiama answered with a roll of her eyes.

"Oh? Who is he?" Sango leaned in to hear the answer.

"You wouldn't believe it if I told you. Even I don't believe it."

"Oh come on, who?" Rin asked.

"Naraku."

Four mouths fell open at that name. "What!" They said simultaneously.

"Did you just say Naraku?" Sango said, being the first one to recover.

"We mean, the one that Kikyou dumped?" The second was Rin.

"The one Kagura absolutely detests?" The third was Ayame.

"The one that accidentally had mistaken me for Kikyou five months ago and kissed me? The one I beat to a pulp after he did that and left him in a ditch to die? The one I was tempted to throw fruit punch all over his brand new Armani suit and did at the Spring Fling last year when he tried to hit on me? The one who made fun of me in second grade because I was the sheep in the spring play and made me cry?" Kagome towered over them. Her aura was dark and it had taken the shape of flames. Her friends suddenly thought that she looked very much like the devil.

"Uh…I don't think he did the last one…" Sango said as she tried to think to that time. "Right, Ayame?"

Ayame snapped out of the trance of staring at Kagome's flaming aura. "Huh? Oh, yeah. Naraku didn't tease you, it was someone else. Who was it…?"

"I don't know…but I know it was a boy."

Kaiama, who became friends with them at the beginning of eighth grade, and Rin, who joined the group in the middle of second semester of freshman year, didn't have a clue what they were saying.

"I DON'T CARE! I'M TRYING TO MAKE A POINT THAT NARAKU IS AN EVIL GUY AND KAGURA SHOULDN'T GO OUT WITH HIM!"

Four heads nodded in understanding. "Oh…"

"Anyway, we should get to work on the revenge plan so we have time to go shopping." Kagome sat down and began pulling things out of her bag.

The girls sweatdropped at Kagome's sudden change of mood. Boy, can she calm down or what?

"I already said that I am not going to help." Sango said, leaning back in her chair and crossing her arms.

"Me too." Ayame added.

"And I don't think I want to help…" Rin started.

Kagome suddenly snapped her head in their direction, carefully avoiding Kaiama. She drilled holes into each of the three girls' eyes, carefully and slowly. "You. Are. Going. To. Help. Me." Her voice had changed into a deep and deadly voice that was usually used when someone is about to kill someone. It was just perfect in this current situation. "No. Matter. What. You. Say. You. Will. Help. Me. Or. Your. Life. Will. Take. A. Turn. For. The. Worse. Got. It?" Recognizing the hidden threat of showing their baby pictures and telling their deepest, darkest secrets to the school newspaper, they all gulped and nodded their heads.

She brightened up immensely. "Good. Now…"

The room was empty when she entered. She had a piece of paper in her hands, typed writing on it.

She quietly tiptoed her way up to a desk with a nameplate on it. It read, 'Hojo Nakumura."

Carefully, as to not cause a racket, she picked up a pile of papers on the left side of the desk. She leafed through the papers until she stopped at one that had the word 'Tabloids' on it. She put the paper she was holding after that paper. She then replaced the papers on the desk and proceeded to headed out.

Kagome awoke to a particularly loud ring of her alarm clock. She groped around for it. When she found it, she tried to throw it at the wall. But it didn't land there.

"OWW!" And her brother fell to the ground unconscious.

Kagome, awoken by the anguished scream, looked in horror at his fallen body. His head was sporting a rather large bump and the sign of his fingers was the only thing that kept her from screaming, "I KILLED MY BROTHER WITH AN ALARM CLOCK!"

But she did scream bloody murder.

Her grandfather, awoken by Kagome's scream, rushed into the room and found himself falling to the floor, or rather, Souta's body.

Her scream grew louder, while Megumi Higurashi was humming in the kitchen making pancakes.

And while all that was going on, the alarm clock was still ringing.

Souta rubbed the bump on his head as he sat down on the kitchen table. "Jeez, why'd you have to do that for? Again? How many times has it been? 10 times?"

"Actually, it has been approximately 26 times." Her mother calculated as she put down the plate of steaming pancakes on the table along with the syrup.

Kagome merely shrugged. "What can I say? It's a morning routine."

Souta looked at her fearfully before he clutched his head and whined, "Oh, my head…my poor brain cells!"

"Who cares about your brain cells?"

"I do!"

Kagome looked at her brother before doing swirls with her finger on her ear as she said, "Weird kid."

MAJOR NEWS!

IS KIKYOU, THE PREP OF THE PREPS AND QUEEN BEE OF THIS SCHOOL, WITH INUYASHA, THE NEWEST ADDITION TO THE 'INCROWD' AND CURRENT 'HOTTIE' OF THE YEAR?

Being the newest member of the writing business here in Shikon High, I have to say, I was pretty amazed that I found a great topic in only two hours of searching!

We all know that the new student who came last week was Inuyasha Takashi, possibly the cutest guy in this school. And we all knew that he was single. I mean, come on! Who couldn't have noticed the giggles from the back row of Mrs. Himotashki's history class? And the occasional winks he sent out to his fan club? What about all the flirting he did at the cheerleaders' lunch table where he sat with them all the while on one else was allowed?

From those facts, I have concluded he was single-unless he was a two timer or a playboy. Well, at least, he was. Due to a conversation I happened to hear while I was passing by, I have safely concluded that Inu-Chan is no longer single. And by the sound of her sultry voice, Kikyou was the one who took him.

This was the conversation that had held place or at least, the part I heard:

Kikyou (Giggles): Oh you are so funny, Inuyasha! You definitely changed from 6 years ago. Say…how about we start going out?

Inuyasha: Keh, and why should I?

Kikyou: Let's see…because you want to?

Inuyasha: Got that right.

It was then seen that the couple was making out. But the conversation was not done yet…

Kikyou: Inuyasha…could you do me a favor?

Inuyasha: What is it?

Kikyou: Inuyasha…I am really glad that you are my boyfriend now…but couldn't we keep our relationship a secret? I mean, what if girls get all jealous and start bullying me?

Inuyasha: Sure, Kikyou. If that's what you want. I wouldn't like my girlfriend to get bullied because of me.

Kikyou (fake tears in eyes): Oh Inu-Chan, thank you! Thank you so very much!

Inuyasha (Panicking): Hey, don't cry. Don't cry!

That was where I had left and proceeded to write this piece of work.

But I just could not believe that Kikyou had said that. Her? Bullied? Come on, if someone was bullied, she would be the one who was bullying us! Isn't that right? Haven't you been bullied at least once in your life by Kikyou? Well, I did. Countless times.

Anyway, from that conversation, there was only one question lingering in my mind. Why did Kikyou want to keep the relationship a secret? Don't you want to find out? Well, I sure do…

AN: Well, that's it for this chapter.

I hope I didn't screw it up…(Shrugs). Oh well, if I did, I wouldn't really care, I mean, I would only lose readers and reviewers…(Sobs)

Ok, really, please review!

Oh, one question: Who do you think was the person who went into the room? And I can tell you this: it's not Kagome.
