Chapter Four

October Fall Carnival

When Kagome reached her dorm she flung herself on the bed, tears pouring from her eyes. He always had to ruin it! Always! Kagome sobbed into her fluffy pillow and eventually fell asleep. But soon there was a knock on the door and Kagome was jostled from her slumber. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the clock. She groaned. It had only been five minutes.

"Kagome! Kagome, please answer! It's Sango and Ayame and Rin! We want to talk!" Sango banged harder on the door until Kagome opened it. She felt the tears returning and cried into Sango's shoulder.

"O-Oh, Sango! H-He al-always has t-to make e-everything for me so m-m-miserable!" Kagome wailed as Sango led her over to her bed. Once they were sitting, Rin and Ayame joined them. They stroked Kagome's back soothingly and the girl calmed a bit. She sniffed and reached for a tissue.

"We all know he's a jerk," Sango said matter-of-factly, as Kagome blew her nose loudly. "We're just gonna have to learn to live with it."

"Ya, Kagome, InuYasha's always been like that!" Ayame stated. "He goes along with something he likes and then when it's over he acts like he didn't enjoy it!"

"So, you mean, he did enjoy it?" Kagome asked hopefully.

"Of course!" Rin piped up. "You should have seen his eyes! They were glowing!" The girls giggled slightly and then made sure Kagome was tucked in and ready to sleep. She thanked them all for being so nice to her and drifted off to sleep. Sango, Ayame, and Rin tip-toed back over to their own beds to rest.


By morning, Kagome was feeling very refreshed. Plus, it was a Saturday. She showered and dressed in a dark green sweater with a short white skirt. She pulled her hair into a ponytail and tried not to wake any of her friends as she left. She wanted to be alone for a while.

Kagome walked along the track field for what seemed like hours. She was deep in thought when she heard footsteps running and then a voice call, "Kaaaaa-gooooo-meeeee!" She turned to see Kikyo sprinting over to her. Kikyo stopped right in front of her and caught her breath for a few moments. Kagome crossed her arms.

"What d'you want?" she said stiffly.

"I want to apologize!" Kikyo said sincerely. She stood straight and smiled. "Can you ever forgive me for blaming you at the assembly?" She stuck out her lower lip like she was pouting but gave Kagome big, sad, puppy dog eyes. Kagome considered it.

"Well…I know I shouldn't…but I guess I forgive you. Just don't ever blame me for something you know I didn't do again!"

Kikyo spread her arms wide for a hug and Kagome sighed. She hugged Kikyo and Kikyo patted her on the back: hard. As Kagome waved good-bye Kikyo smirked.

"Yo, Kagome! You shoulda waken us, we would have come with ya!" Kagome heard Ayame call. Ayame and Rin ran up to her and smiled.

"Hey guys, I' actually getting sort of hungry," Kagome admitted. They nodded and followed her into the cafeteria. After buying a muffin, Kagome looked around for a table. But suddenly she felt a painful kick in the back of her leg. She limped forward in agony.

"WHO DID THAT!" she cried, turning and snarling. It was Kagura.

"Just doin' what the sign says," Kagura smirked. She walked off laughing as Kagome's face turned from pain to bewilderment.

"What's she talking about?" she asked. Ayame and Rin shrugged. Another hard kick came from behind her and Kagome whipped around. Naraku was smiling evilly and he cackled as he departed.

"Uh Kagome…maybe this is the cause…" Rin whispered, ripping something from the back of Kagome's shirt. Kagome looked and saw Rin was holding a piece of crumpled paper. She snatched it out of her friends hand and read it: Kick me hard to prove I'm a bitch.

"WHAT!" Kagome screamed. She remembered Kikyo hugging her and patting her hard on the back. Kagome's lip twitched at the edge and she threw the piece of paper in the trash.

"I'll get back at her! I swear I'll---"

"Haven't you already gotten back at her?" Ayame asked from beside her. "You know…with InuYasha?"

"But---"

"Don't start some war between us and the popular group," Rin added, sitting at an available table. "That's the last thing we need with report cards coming out in about a month."

Kagome decided not to argue anymore and took the plastic wrapping off her muffin. Someone sat down next to her and she heard Koga's voice say, "InuYasha at 10 o'clock!" Kagome looked up and spotted, sure enough, InuYasha coming their way. She frowned and stood. Ayame and Rin gave her pleading looks but she shook her head and left the building. The two of them sighed.

"Hey, what's up with her?" InuYasha asked, a bandage on his cheek.

"You are so nieve(sp?)," Rin said as he took the seat next to her. "She's mad at you, duh!"

"Why?" InuYasha asked, startled. Koga, Ayame, and Rin all banged their heads on the table.

"You insulted her at the dance last night, stupid!" Ayame shouted. Koga was glaring at him and InuYasha gulped.

"O-Oh, right! I forgot about that."

"You're such a pig," Rin said and left the table to join Kohaku and his friends. InuYasha snorted.

"Like I care if Kagome's mad at me!"

"Ya, good luck with your grades if you don't have Kagome for a tutor!" Ayame smirked. InuYasha's eyes widened and he slapped his hand to his forehead.

"Crap! I forgot about that too! How am I supposed to keep gettin' C's if I don't have Kagome tutoring me? I'm gonna fail and not get into a good college and---" He suddenly stopped and got a vicious look on his face. "No…Ayame, you could tutor me!" He turned and looked at a startled Ayame with hopeful eyes.

"Hey, no way!" Ayame replied defensively. "You scared Kagome off! I don't wanna be a part of any of this!" She motioned to Koga to come with her and he nodded and followed. InuYasha sat there grumbling to himself and rested his head on the table.


Progressing through October, the students learned there was going to be a Fall Carnival. Big orange posters were hanging on the walls all around the school. Kagome decided to look one over one Wednesday morning. She stopped outside of her third period class and starred at a giant poster that read:

FALL CARNIVAL!

Warning: Not a dance

The students of Tokyo Co-ed Boarding School will be pleased to learn that there will be a fall Carnival coming up on Sunday, October 14. It is to celebrate Halloween and there will be games. Games include a cake walk, costume contest, karaoke and much more. The food will be provided by our wonderful chef (Chef Ishimaru) and there will be a variety to choose from: Cake, cookies, brownies, and other delightful treats. The cost is a $1.50 and we hope to see you all there!

Costumes permitted

Kagome shrugged and thought it could be fun. But she didn't have a costume. And it was already October 10! She ran off down the hall to find Sango and soon found herself in the cafeteria. She spotted her friend and waved.

"Sango! Hey, Sango!" she called. Sango looked up from her Ramen and smiled.

"Hey, Kagome, what's up?" she asked.

"The carnival is on Sunday and I don't have anything to wear! I don't have a costume! What are you wearing?"

Sango shrugged. "I'm going as a demon slayer! My family despises demons and every year we do a family thing where we each dress up like one. I have the costume and everything. Kohaku has his too." She looked in the direction of her little brother.

"Well, cool, but I still need to find one!" Kagome interrupted.

"No problem, tons of Halloween stores are open. We can go shopping on Saturday." Kagome grinned and thanked her friend as she walked off to find Ayame and Rin. They were in the gym shooting hoops during Break.

"Hi Kagome. You seem happy," Rin said as she retrieved her ball.

"I know! Sango agreed to go shopping with me so I can find a costume!" Kagome said cheerfully.

"A costume? I've had mine picked out for weeks!" Ayame smiled.

"What are you going as then?"

Ayame smiled wider. "A wolf princess! Ha ha! It'll be so cool!" Rin snorted.

"Mine's way cooler! I'm gonna wear my mom's old kimono she gave me before she died! It's such a pretty color! It's---"

"Orange," Kagome and Ayame said at the same time. Rin nodded and threw her basketball into the basket. She cheered and smiled at her two friends.

"Do you have any ideas?" Ayame asked Kagome as she set her ball down and sat on a bench. Rin joined them shortly after scoring five more baskets.

"Well, I could be a…um…" Kagome panicked. "I don't know what to be! Nothing seems right!" Ayame and Rin both thought.

"You could be a cat?" Rin suggested. Kagome shook her head.

"No, there will probably be lots of people dressed like a cat." She stood and paced until she stopped. Then she sank back onto the bench and buried her head in her hands. When she groaned Ayame and Rin looked worried.

"You could throw an old sheet over yourself and be a…ghost?" Ayame said softly. Kagome moaned and left the gym. Rin shook her head and grabbed her basketball again.


Saturday arrived and Sango kept her word. She and Kagome took the bus over to the mall and started looking for all the costume shops. They found a couple but none were very good. Kagome sat down in the food court after buying some pizza. She ate slowly as Sango watched her.

"You really have no clue what you wanna be?" she asked. Kagome stopped eating and wiped her mouth with her napkin.

"I can't think," she replied.

"I thought that Samurai costume was cool," Sango laughed. Kagome gave her a scolding look and sighed.

"What costume is right for me?"

"Do they have Drama Queen costumes?"

"Shut up!"

Sango giggled and went on naming costumes. Dorky costumes, boy costumes, little kid costumes…

"OH MY GOD! LOOK!" Kagome suddenly cried. Sango fell back in her chair but quickly stood up and brushed off her skirt.

"What? What is it, Kagome?" she asked worriedly. Kagome was standing too and pointing at one of the shops.

"There! That costume! It's perfect!"


The night of the carnival, Sesshomaru was still sitting on his bed reading. The carnival was in half an hour and he still wasn't dressed in his costume. Miroku stepped out of the bathroom already changed and looked over at Sesshomaru.

"You really should be getting ready," he scolded. Sesshomaru paid no attention to him. "Suit yourself."

Miroku was dressed as a monk with a purple kimono that reached all the way down to his ankles. On his feet were sandals and in his hand he carried a staff. The staff was oval shaped at the top and had six rings dangling from it. He opened the door and departed the dorm room.

InuYasha was changing and when he finished looked at himself in the mirror. He laughed at the image looking back at him. He had on a red kimono with long sleeves. He was bare foot and he had died his hair white. On top of his head were two little dog ears. He faced Sesshomaru and his older half brother snorted at him.

"What a stupid costume," he said calmly. InuYasha smirked.

"That's the point. I'm a dog demon!" He was still laughing as he left. The last to be ready was Koga. He was a wolf demon with brown fur clothing and fake fangs and claws. He showed Sesshomaru.

"Better then InuYasha's, I'll admit," Sesshomaru said dully. "Go on without me. I'm not going."

"Suit yourself," Koga shrugged.

"That's just what Miroku said," Sesshomaru replied I a bored tone. He flipped a page in his magazine and yawned. Koga left and could see flickering lights coming from the gym as he made his way there. On his way he met Ayame. He laughed.

"Hey, you thief!" he chuckled, looking at her costume. It was almost a duplicate of his except it was white fur instead of brown.

"I'm a wolf princess Koga! You can be my prince!" she grinned as she linked her arm in his. They entered the gym together and looked around. Barrels of hay lay as seats all through the gym and different games were everywhere. A table filled with treats was against one wall and after Koga had paid that's where he ran off to. Ayame rolled her eyes and waved to Rin and Kohaku.

"Hey guys! Oh, Rin, you were right! That is a nice kimono!" Ayame complimented as she greeted them.

"Thanks! Nice wolf costume. Have you seen Koga's?" Rin asked. As Ayame nodded she looked over Kohaku's costume.

"Are you the same as Sango?" she asked.

"Yep," he answered, smiling. InuYasha and Miroku were over by Sango talking. She had on a pink demon slayer uniform while Kohaku's was blue and gold.

"Wait till you see Kagome's costume!" she said. "It's perfect!"

"I haven't seen her yet," Miroku admitted. "Where is she?"

"Still changing." They could hear a snort from InuYasha and looked over at him.

"I could careless what she's wearing!" he mumbled. Sango frowned and went over to get some punch, Miroku following her. Soon, the gym doors opened and Kagome walked in. She was dressed like a priestess and had a bow in her hand. On her back she was carrying arrows. InuYasha's mouth fell open as he starred. She was beautiful!

Lots of boys went over and started talking to Kagome and she laughed at them all. InuYasha growled and walked over to stand by Koga. Kagome entered the cake walk and won a chocolate cake. Her friends (except for InuYasha) cheered when she held it up to them and smiled. She suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder and turned. Kikyo was standing there…wearing the same costume! Kagome nearly dropped her cake.

"Very original! I'm so impressed," Kikyo retorted sarcastically. She looked like she wanted to punch Kagome but held back.

"I know! I got it yesterday, last minute you know," Kagome responded breezily.

"Sure," Kikyo answered. "I didn't know a tramp could pull it off." Kagome glared at her enemy.

"The only tramp I see in here is you." She smirked.

"At least I have something you want!"

"Oh ya? What's that?"

"Your man!"

"InuYasha? He is not my man!"

"Oh really? Cause he says he likes me so much better then you! Compliments me every day!"

"Are you sure they're compliments?"

"Positive."

"Cause InuYasha and I slow danced at the dance, remember that?"

"He told me. It was nothing but charity." Kikyo had done it. Kagome's face turned red and she smashed that chocolate cake right into Kikyo's face. Kikyo gasped and screamed and tried wiping off the chocolate frosting and cake. Kagome stood there satisfied, but quickly left the gym. Everyone was laughing at Kikyo in the back round, she could hear, but soon she had slammed her dorm room door shut. She wasn't going to cry. She was going to bask in her glory until she got her punishment.


Another chapter finished! Ya! I thought it would be dramatic having Kagome smash the cake into Kikyo's face. And funny! Cause this story is mainly for Inu/Kag fans. Not Inu/Kik fans.
