Chapter 2: No Joke and No one home

"Aww man, I'm gonna be late!" a breathless Kagome yelled, running as fast as she could to get to school. It was amazing that she had been able to sleep in, considering how early she had gone to bed.

Last night… lets just say that this girl was thoroughly creeped out. How did that guy get her IM name anyway? She didn't even want to think about who it had been: a stalker, rapist, some old guy in his 50's who liked to mess with girls like her… Or maybe it was just one of her friends trying to scare her? Kagome's eyes widened at the possibility, and she sighed with relief.

Yeah, she thought, It was probably Ayame and Koga. Those two were known for there scraing schemes. Just last year, they got this one freshman so frighten that the guy peed his pants. Kagome chuckled at the memory. She had found them out, and she would make them pay for trying to scare her. Oh yes, didn't they know by now not to mess with a Higurashi? Because she was known for scheming revenge… they would pay dearly. Kagome's mind was reeling at the plots for vengeance…(she is just a little evil…)

She had planned it perfectly. Kagome had stolen Koga's sandwich and planted a fake spider in it. Koga was just a little insectnaphobic. Actually, whenever he saw an insect, he would kiss his pride goodbye, and starts screaming and jumping up and down like a little girl. That is what Kagome was depending on for her plan to work.

Ayame was different however, she was not scared of insects, she was scared of clowns. Not that Kagome enjoyed them either, but she could not pass up the opportunity to completely terrify the pranksters. Kagome had brought a clown mask to school though, and was waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Kagome saw Ayame coming just around the corner, and was lucky that Ayame hadn't glanced up. She quietly slipped on the mask, and waited.

Two more steps…one….zero!

"Muhahahaha!"

"AHHHHHHHH!" Ayame screamed bloody muder.

Kagome's practiced laugh had the desired effect. And she was now cracking up at Ayame's expression.

"Got ya," Kagome choked out between laughs.

"That was not funny," Ayame face was a deep shade of red.

"Like hell it wasn't funny," Kagome giggled. "Besides I got you back for last night,"

"What do you mean 'got me back,'? I didn't do anything," Ayame said confused.

"Dang I got the wrong person. It must have been Koga," Kagome snapped her fingers in frustration.

"Wait, what happened last night?" Ayame asked.

"Well, after I logged off, Koga musta been in pranking mood because another IM window popped up and said some stuff to me that totally freaked me out," Kagome replied.

"Aww man! Why wasn't I in on it? You mean he pranked you without me?" Ayame asked, annoyed that she didn't get to join in on the fun.

"It doesn't matter cause I'm gonna get him back," Kagome smiled evilly. Ayame sweatdropped.

Finally! It was lunch and Kagome's time for revenge.

The gang had all sat down at their claimed table and were chatting about how lame Mr. Naki was for giving them so much homework and how boring school was in general.

Koga had taken out his lunch and started to pick up his sandwich and unwrapping it to reveal its contents. He had no idea of the surprise that was waiting for him…

Kagome's smile was hidden behind her large chocolate chip cookie while she waited patiently for him to discover what was inside his next bite.

As Koga bit down, he felt something weird tickle his tongue. He drew his sandwich away from his mouth to examine it.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Koga's scream made everyone at the table jump, even himself, as he hopped away from the table and hid behind on of the school's many fake rocks. Kagome could hardly contain her laughter, what a sight Koga was, quivering with fear, hiding behind some fake scenery. Did her friend know no humiliation when it came to bugs?

"Koga, what the hell?" Sango asked, annoyed that he had almost broke her eardrums.

"Dude, what's your problem?" Miroku asked wondering what had caused his friend's sudden outburst.

Kagome couldn't take it any more. She burst out laughing. She laughed so hard that tears were starting to well up in the corners of her eyes, and her friends thought that she had lost it. She had even started to roll on the ground at her private joke.

"Payback is sweet," Kagome said, "Koga you are an idiot! That spider was fake!" her laughter had subsided a little now.

Koga, who was now beyond embarrassed, looked at her with annoyance.

"You mean you put it there!" Koga's face was deep crimson, "That was cruel and unusual punishment! What did I ever do to deserve this?" Koga yelled.

"You know what you did, Koga. You pranked me last night, after I logged off," Kagome was finished with her chuckles.

"No I didn't," Koga said in his defense, "I kept talking to these guys after you logged off,"

"Don't play dumb. I know it was you," Kagome was getting frustrated with Koga. If you prank some one, at least have the balls to back it up.

"Kags, I swear I didn't do it. You have to believe me. I was on IM until, like. 9:30." Koga said.

Okay, so it wasn't Koga. If it were him, he probably would have thought up a really cheesy name like: Friday the 13th.

So, who was it?

This made Kagome shiver. Who was SEN? And what did those three letters stand for? Syco enraged narcotic?

Kagome unlocked her front door and stepped inside. "I'm home!" she called.

There came no answer. "Mom?" again, silence laced through the house. She saw something on the table. It was a note with her mother's handwriting printed on it.

Kagome,

I went to my sister's house; she just had the divorce finalized and doesn't want to be alone. I'll be back in a few days, there are leftovers in the fridge and make sure you eat them before I get back.

Love,

Mom

Yeah, this was the perfect end to the perfect day. She was truly freaked for the first time in her life and her mom just had to leave her to her own devices. She needed music. The dead quiet was messing with her head.

Kagome tuned in on the radio and guess what the first song was? Thriller. Was someone trying to traumatize her? She turned to another station, and it played 'Highway to hell'. She immediately punched the power button. 'I'll go on my computer and listen to it there,' she thought, jogging up the stairs.

20 minutes later, Kagome was dancing to 'Dream a Dream' that was blasting from the speakers on her monitor, defiantly feeling better than when she had arrived home. A window appeared on the screen, Kagome looked at it and it read:

PDS: hey Kags!

AOL: hi

PDS: tonight's the night Fri. March 21st! It's the gang's anniversary!AOL: really? How are we gonna celebrate?

PDS: campout in Frost Woods!

AOL: cool! What time do we meet?

PDS: tonight at 9:00

PDS: and get ready for the time of your life!

AOL: see ya there

AOL: bye

PDS: later.

Kagome squealed in excitement. This was the gang's 5th anniversary. She couldn't wait 'till tonight! And she didn't even have to convince her mom why she had to go because she wasn't here. Her mom's absence was turning out not to be so bad.

Kagome packed her sleeping bag a ton of junk food, and a portable DVD player along with some Anime cinema and she was set. But it was only 7:15. She had a few hours to kill before the campout so she plopped on the couch and watched some horrible American soap opera, making fun of all the bad actors and even worse dialogue. In one hour, Kagome was hysterical with laughter, imitating the characters.

"Oh Sofia, I love you so much, I just couldn't tell you before you got married and had 7 kids," Kagome pretended to cry.

"Oh Rick, I love you too, forget my husband and kids, and take me in your arms," Kagome cracked up. She was laughing so hard that tears were beginning to leak out of the corners of her eyes.

"Tune in next week when Sofia reveals to her husband that she is cheating on him," the TV announcer said, ending the show. It was now 8:45, and Kagome decided that she should get going. Delighted that she didn't have to wait any longer. Little did Kagome know that tonight was going to turn out a little different then she had planned…
