Absolute Fascination
Chapter 7: Fight!
"HIGURASHI!" The doors of the cafeteria of Shikon High burst open with so much force that Kagome was almost sure that they would be barely hanging by their hinges.
"Kikyou, why are you calling yourself?" Kagome said sweetly as an enraged Kikyou stomped to their table.
The cheerleader merely sneered. "Don't play smart, dear cousin. You know very well that I was calling you."
Kagome set down her spoon and pushed her tray away from her. "And why were you calling me, Kikyou?" She said as she folded her arms on the table. Her friends giggled, with the exception of Kagura.
"Don't play dumb either. You also know very well why I called you." She sat down on the seat across from her, crossing her long legs.
"Actually, I don't know. Please explain what had made you so angry, Kiki." She used her cousin's childhood nickname.
"Don't call me that." She slammed the newspaper article on to the table. "And this is what made me angry. I'm sure you recognize it."
Kagome shot her an innocent look and gingerly took the newspaper. "Major news. Is Kikyou, the prep of the preps and queen bee of this school, with Inuyasha, the newest addition to the 'in crowd' and current 'hottie' of the year?" She read, glancing at Kikyou when she finished.
"Well? You wrote it, didn't you?" The other Higurashi said impatiently.
The accused schoolgirl in the ridiculously short blue skirt gave an indignant gasp. "Kikyou! How would you dare accuse me of such a crime as eavesdropping?"
"Easy. I'm doing it right now, aren't I?"
By now all her friends were laughing hard. They instinctively stopped when they saw Kagome shot them a nervous glare.
"Give me that." Kaiama plucked the newspaper and pretended looking at it for the first time with Ayame peering over her shoulder. "Major news. Is Kikyou, the prep of the preps and queen bee of this school, with Inuyasha, the newest addition to the in crowd and current hottie-" She read aloud, her voice clearly carrying all over the large cafeteria. "Ok, first of all, Kagome would never write that. Right?" She glanced over to Ayame, Rin, Sango, and Kagura.
"That's right. Kagome would never call Inuyasha a hottie." Ayame agreed.
"And why not?" Kikyou snapped, her sharp glare going over to the two girls.
"Because Kagome hates a certain someone's certain boyfriend's guts." Kagura drawled.
"Namely yours." Sango said agreeably.
"Why would she hate him?" The cheerleader asked, gazing sharply on Sango.
"He called me a wench and thought I was you." Kagome answered, knowing Kikyou was going to burst.
Kikyou glared at Kagome as she stood up. Then she looked around the cafeteria until her brown eyes landed on Inuyasha. "Inuyasha!" She called out to him.
Inuyasha looked up at her, and then grinned. Kikyou beckoned him over and he strolled toward the suddenly nervous girls.
"What's up?"
Smack!
Kikyou had slapped him. "How dare you mistake my sad excuse for a cousin for me! I'm much prettier than her, not to mention taller! My hair is straight, not wavy! And I'm not definitely as flat as her! How dare you mistake me for her!"
"WHAT?" Kagome shouted at her cousin, standing up and glaring ferociously at her arrogant cousin. She slowly rounded around the table until she was on Kikyou's side of the rectangular table. "I'M SORRY, BUT WHO CARES IF YOU ARE TALLER? MY HAIR MAY BE WAVY, BUT I LIKE MY HAIR THAT WAY! BUT YOU ARE, IN NO WAY, BUSTIER THAN ME!"
Miroku suddenly appeared by Inuyasha's side, attracted to the scene by the talk of…busts.
"Hello…isn't this an interesting conversation." Miroku grinned.
Sango sighed and looked at him. "You pervert."
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I AM WAY BUSTIER THAN YOU! YOU ARE LIKE, AN A CUP!"
"I AM NOT! AND LAST TIME I WENT OVER TO YOUR HOUSE, UNWILLINGLY I MIGHT ADD, I SAW THAT YOU WERE A 34AA!"
"WHY WERE YOU EVEN LOOKING AT MY BRA?"
"IT WAS ON YOUR DIRTY FLOOR!"
SLAP!
"You did not just do that." Kagome said in a monotone voice.
Kikyou smirked. "Oh, but I did."
"Girl, no you DIDN'T!" And Kagome lunged.
The last thing that was heard in the cafeteria that day was the principal breaking up a fight. A vicious fight at that.
"I can't believe you two!" The principal was circling her office, yelling at the two teenage girls who were glaring daggers at each other.
Kagome sat in her chair, fuming, glaring daggers at her cousin. Her hair was sticking out in places and scratch marks were on her left cheek, but other than that, she was left relatively unscathed. But Kikyou, on the other hand, was a different matter.
Her hair was uncontrollably tangled, scratch marks everywhere, including bite marks. There was a tear in her right ear from when Kagome pulled her earring off. Her clothes were messy and she had a spilt lip. And she was pissed.
As the principal went on and on about how she couldn't believe them and that they were supposed to be model students, Kagome whispered to Kikyou. "Had enough?"
"Shut the fuck up before I kill you."
"I'm sure."
"What, you don't believe me? Wanna go?"
"Sure, I've already beat you once."
Kikyou gave an enraged howl before she launched.
Another fight broke out.
"Sweetheart, why did you get into a fight with Kikyou?" Mrs. Higurashi asked, exasperated.
"I'm not in trouble, right?" Kagome said nervously.
"Answer my question."
"She…she was insulting my bust size!" Kagome said indignantly.
Her mother merely sighed. "This reminds of the old days…"
"Huh?" Kagome was confused.
"You see, my sister, AKA, Kikyou's mother, and I used to get into a lot of fights too…"
The teenager merely stared at her mother. "Are you serious?" Her mother nodded. Kagome cracked up at that.
"Oh don't laugh! It's true!" Her mother got up from the sofa. "By the way, Kagome? I need you to pack up, dear."
"Why?" Kagome asked when she calmed down from laughing.
"We are reconstructing the shrine, remember? We have to get out of this house for at least two months."
"Oh ok. But…whose house are we staying at?" Kagome stood up from the love seat and started walking toward the stairs to her room.
"Your childhood best friend, remember?"
"Who…? Sango?"
"No! Inuyasha. You remember him, right?"
Kagome fell down the stairs.
AN: Worst case of writer's block ever. But I updated. I hope this chapter was good.
