chapter seven

Kagome POV

Kagome woke up to the sun shining in her eyes. What time is it? She yawned loudly and looked to the empty left side of the bed. She heard running water in the bathroom which proved where Sango went. The alarm clock read 12:27 in red glowing letters. Damn, we slept in late…

She grabbed a hair tie from the vanity table and turned on Sango's boom box. She flipped through her cds and found Ashanti's new cd, Concrete Rose. She skipped to the song 'Only U'. While she bumped her music, Kagome dug through her duffel bag for what to wear.

"Only you Kagome, only you." Sango said out loud as she walked out of the bathroom in a towel.

"I think you're mistaken Sango, last night it seemed like only Miroku to me." Kagome teased, making Sango blush. Sango took out her wet towel from her hair and threw it at Kagome. "Shut up… we're just friends…"

"With benefits? Because if you two aren't, then, damn you guys are closer friends then us. Haha!" Kagome laughed out.

"Yeah, well you only seem like you're down for conceited jerks. Dang girl, Inuyasha first, and now Koga? But explain to me. I thought he was with Ayame."

"Oh hell no. Koga is bustin' the moves on yours truly, not the other way around. And I don't know, why don't you tell me? Shit, I'm more confused then you."

"I don't know, but I can tell you, you can do better. If he bugs you, then say, look but don't touch. I swear he was about to kiss you last night. Ayame was trippen like crazy."

"What, for real? Damn she's a homie, I don't wanna feel like I stole her man or anything." But if Ayame and Koga are together then why was he flirting with me. So confusing.

"Oh, who cares, it's not like you're gonna get with him. But, God Kagome, did you even actually look at all those guys last night. They were HELLA CUTE! Seto, Sesshomaru, Naraku, Hiten, Hiei, and whoa, Kurama is… damn. I never saw so many hott guys all in one area before."

"And you picked Miroku? Oooh, has Sango been hiding things from her best friend, and actually HAS feelings for the pervert?" Kagome slowly dragged out. "Well I think it's cool you know, as long as you keep his wandering eyes and hands in check. I just want you to be happy okay?"

Kagome was unprepared for the tight hug she received. "Oh Kagome, I like him so much! You don't know how you're saying that it's cool, makes me happy."

Kagome sweatdropped and tried to hold Sango from cracking her ribs. "Okay babe, If I was Miroku I'm sure he would take advantage of your half-nakedness, but I'm NOT! So pull on a bra and some clothes then you can hug me… gentlier."

"Yeah and sweetie, go take a shower. 'Cuz you stink! Damn Kags, you smell like beer, cologne, and sweat all put in one. Ayame called earlier, so when you're done, we're heading to the park." Sango said while pinching her nose.

"WHAT!" She sniffed her hair and gagged. "You're right…okay…." Kagome grabbed a fresh towel and huffed into Sango's bathroom. Sango smiled at her fondly. "Inuyasha is stupid to lose someone as special as Kagome."

Koga POV

Koga met the guys up at the park. Everyone was just gambling or playing ball. He thought about what happened last night. Ayame was hella bitchy. I didn't think she'd give a damn. Last night when she stormed outside, he followed her and told her to chill. They weren't even together. It's not like she really loves me or anything. She just started cussing at him, so he just cussed back.

Whatever, fuck that slut. Koga thought about what happened after the fight. His grinned widened so big that his friends asked if he was feeling alright. It's not normal for a dude to smile that big without a dirty thought in mind.

"It's nothing you guys," he paused and noticed Sesshomaru was listening too, making him grin again." I was just thinking about what happened last night. Dang I kissed the most fullest lips I've ever tasted." When Sesshomaru gave him a hard look, and walked towards Seto, he proved his suspicions right.

He was wondering about why Kagome looked jealous when she saw Rin and Sesshomaru sitting next to each other. He wanted to know if they had a thing for each other. Well he got his answer.

Koga was surprised when Ginta spoke. "Ayame doesn't look like she have full lips."

"Who said anything about Ayame?"

"What? Are you playing Ayame?" Hakaku exclaimed aloud.

"What idiots. I'm not even with Ayame. Do you fools actually think I was with her the whole time?"

"For real… but how come-" Beep beep. Speak of the Devil. Ayame drove up and honked her integra at them. "Hey you losers where are all the girls at? Don't tell me you didn't call any of them!"

"Everyone is getting ready, you know how girls are! Shit, I can't hear anything." Koga said while picking his ear. That explained why when Kagome and Sango shouted wassup, he didn't notice or hear them.

Sesshomaru POV

It didn't seem like he was pissed off or anything. But that was just seeming, inside he was the total opposite. He wanted to lose his cool, but thanks to years of practice, he concealed his anger. Koga kissed Kagome. That's who he meant. 'cuz they're isn't any other girl that has fuller lips then her. He ignored Kagome when she got out of the car and said hi to him. I don't care, we're not together so I don't give a shit.

Kagome POV

Saying she was hurt was going over board. She was just a little…okay upset and hurt are the same thing. Is he mad at me… what did I do? OH fuck it, I don't care… Kagome ignored Sesshomaru and said hi to Seto.

"Hey Seto, umm… Do you know if Anzu is coming?" Kagome asked shyly. Even if he was cold, he still is one FINE ass guy.

Seto stared at her for a while. If she didn't know better, she would think that he was curious. Maybe I shouldn't have worn this outfit. Kagome had on a white tube-top that showed her silver belly button ring. She wore a jean skater skirt and had on white K-Swiss classics. She wore a white Playboy Bunny hat that covered her straightened hair. She picked this outfit 'cuz she wanted to look good for him. At that thought, she subconsciously took a glance at Sesshomaru.

Seto gave her a slow once-over starting from her K-Swiss classics. When he reached her face, he saw her give a small glance to Sesshomaru and looked back at him with a questioning look. The fact that Anzu likes this girl, makes him like her too. But that psycho girl likes everyone she meets. He looked back at Kagome and searched for something else. Yeah she seems to have this stupid vibe that I can't ignore. Maybe she's just special. Seto smirked at Kagome, So she dressed up for Sesshomaru. I should help her out. My first charity work to defend against Anzu's accusations.

When Kagome saw Seto smirk at her. She blushed hella dark. Wow is that where Sesshomaru learned how to look good from? He isnt checking me out is he? Kagome got the sense she made an ally out of Seto. Weird… but good feeling. She looked back at him when he said something.

"Kagome, you're looking sexy up in white. You make the angel color look naughty." Kagome gasped. Did Seto, Sesshomaru's ice mentor, phraise her, with emotion, as a flirty comment, while sounding like he was checking her out? God created a miracle. She blushed red when Sesshomaru turned to her.

"Don't you think Sesshou?" Seto asked without looking at him and gave Kagome a wink. Sesshomaru stared at Seto in shock. Both Kagome and Sesshomaru lost their composure while looking at Seto. Oh, I see what Anzu means when I should speak more. People have different reactions to things I say.

Sesshomaru remasked his face and looked at Kagome. He wasn't expecting the site he was going to see. Kagome was barely concealed in that skirt. His first thought was dirty, but his next thought wanted to hide her in his jacket. She looked like she was glowing with her pink-tinted cheeks. But Seto was right, she did look sexy. Kagome smiled shyly at Seto and Sesshomaru, and shrieked when Miroku grabbed her behind from under her skirt.

Kagome whirled around so fast, it made her skirt fly up for the two males to see, and smacked Miroku hard across the cheek. "PERVERT!" when Miroku fell down, she started kicking him in the gut. "Don't Fucken Touch Me!" Kagome yelled gathering everyone's attention.

"San-oww-go oww-help-oww-oww-HELP!" Miroku started shouting. Sango just looked at him. "Help you? You do deserve it. Aren't you glad I'm not helping her instead?" Sango said sheepishly.

"Oh my Gosh, Kagome!" Anzu yelled from behind. "Stop! Stop! You're skirt is rising!"

Kagome immediately pulled down her skirt from behind. She looked at the trio behind her, they were all actually blushing. Seto and Sesshomaru were pink-faced, but Anzu was as red as a tomatoe. When she noticed everyone stopped playing ball, gambling, and the kids in the jungle gym looked at her, she ran and hid behind Anzu.

Kagome glanced to her side at Sesshomaru and Seto and was glad they still didn't look at her bottom. "Uhh…. Oops… he…he… umm… maybe we should leave….he… he…."

Anzu shooed everyone's attention away from them, but Kagome noticed everyone still gave them weird looks. She sighed and covered her face with her hands. "I knew I shouldn't have worn a skirt." Great, I wore a thong today too...

She glanced up when she felt fabric hanging from her shoulders. Sesshomaru covered her in his loose Sean John jean jacket. "Then why did you wear it for?" She didn't look him in the eye, she didn't even answer him. She closed her eyes and inhaled his cologne. Because I wanted to look nice for...
