Chapter Seven

Thanksgiving and Changes

Kagome was still starring at the mess. She couldn't move. She was just so stunned. It was like her and Kikyo shared a mind or something! Ayame nudged her shoulder and Kagome looked around to face her.

"I…I can't believe this," was all she could manage to say. "If…if we report her…she can report us! And the principal…is her uncle! He'll give us a harsher punishment!"

Sango signaled Rin and Ayame and the two followed her over to a corner of the room. Kagome watched with angry tears in eyes as her friends nodded to each other and then walked back over to her.

"Kagome," Sango smiled. "We've decided that if Kikyo snitches on us we'll tell the principal you had nothing to do with it!" Kagome starred. Her eyes were wide and she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"But---"

"No!" Rin smiled as well and held up a hand for Kagome to stop. "You already have a month of detention! It wouldn't be fair to get even more! We'll take the blame, and you just keep quiet all right?"

Kagome gave a weak smile, the tears falling from her sparkling eyes. "You guys are the best!" she hugged all three of her friends before starting on the room.


Sure enough, the next day while the girls were all in Science, the intercom buzzed with static overhead and the principals voice could be heard.

"Kagome Higurashi, Sango Hashigama, Rin Matsura, and Ayame Mishawaka report to the office immediately!" he nearly shouted and the sound of the microphone turning off was deafeningly loud. The four teenagers gulped and left the room. As they walked down the empty and quiet halls, Rin put her arm around Kagome.

"Don't worry, Kag," she whispered comfortingly. "You're not gonna get in anymore trouble." Kagome merely nodded weakly and tried not to sound shaky as she replied.

"T-Thanks Rin." Oh no! Stuttering! They reached the office and the woman at the front desk directed them into Mr. Kojima's room. When they entered, they saw Kikyo, Yura, Tsubaki, and Kagura sitting in four chairs to the side. The four popular girls were grinning evilly but when the principal glanced at them they tried to look sad and angry.

"Please take a seat," Mr. Kojima ordered them. Kagome sat beside Sango while Rin and Ayame occupied the chairs to her right. "Now, we all know why we are here I trust?"

"Yes, sir, but we have a complain as well!" Rin said right away. The principal looked slightly taken aback but he cleared his throat and asked, "Yes, what is it?"

"Those four trashed our dorm!" Ayame answered, pointing an accusing finger in Kikyo and her friends way.

"They what!" Mr. Kojima gasped. "My niece and her sweet little friends would never…"

"Just because she's your niece doesn't mean she's an angel!" Kagome screamed. Everyone's mouth dropped and they all starred at her, even her friends. She covered her mouth in surprise and looked at her lap.

"Miss Higurashi…I…that has nothing to do…" the principal fumbled.

"If I was your niece would you punish me worse or her?" Kagome continued.

"W-Well…enough of that! We're here to discuss you're punishment! I'd say another month for you---"

"But she wasn't involved!" Sango defended. "She found us returning to our room!"

"Liar!" Tsubaki said, glaring at Sango.

"Oh and I suppose you had nothing to do with destroying our room!" Ayame shouted.

"Hey, shut up geek!" Yura yelled.

"Make her!" Rin piped up.

"SILENCE!" Mr. Kojima screeched. The eight of them snapped their mouths shut so fast it was like they had swallowed a very large fly. "Fine, fine! Whatever! If she wasn't involved, she can leave! But as for the rest of you, three weeks detention!" Kagome and her friends left the room very quickly and didn't bother to look back at Kikyo and her minions.


"You WHAT?" InuYasha screamed at the four girls the next day at lunch. "YOU TRASHED KIKYO'S DORM ROOM! WHY?"

Kagome was sitting directly in front of him with her friends to her right. Miroku and the rest of the guys were starring blankly at their crazed friend from beside him.

"Why do you care?" Kagome said calmly. "Do you still have feelings for her?"

"…"

InuYasha didn't seem to have an answer which made everyone's eyes open wide. "Don't be crazy! I was just…how could you do something like that when you risk getting even more detention?"

"It was worth it!" Kagome answered, crossing her arms and smirking Kikyo's way. Kikyo spotted her and glared coldly.

"Besides, she was let off," Sango informed him.

"Really?" InuYasha replied confusedly. "But I thought for sure Mr. Kojima would take Kikyo's side…"

"You did, did you?" Kagome rudely interrupted. "Well, alright then…" She swiftly stood up and exited the cafeteria. Sango shook her head and giggled softly.

"What!" InuYasha snapped.

"It's just…InuYasha, when will you learn? Kagome has feelings too you know!"

"He's not that stupid Sango," Miroku defended. "He's just a bit…slow."

"What! He's Kikyo's uncle isn't he…!"

"That doesn't mean…"

"This is stupid! I've gotta go anyways!" InuYasha got up, his face annoyed, and stomped grouchily out the back door. Sesshomaru shook his head like Sango had.

"Sometimes I wonder if we're really related," he sighed.

"Maybe you aren't…" Ayame replied.


With Thanksgiving approaching in less then three days Kagome was feeling more miserable then ever. Each night for the entire month she had either swept the cafeteria, scrubbed the girls' bathrooms, done the dishes, mopped the halls, or anything else the principal could come up with. It wasn't so horrible though, because Sango and her friends had been there with her. The unfortunate part: Kikyo and her friends were there too.

But Kagome made the best of it and ignored Kikyo the whole time. So when it was Thanksgiving, she was cheerful enough and tried not to think about her detention that night. Rin was already dressing by the time Kagome got out of the shower.

"Hey, Rin, you're up early then usual," Kagome commented, as she squeezed toothpaste onto her toothbrush. Rin put a pair of dangling earrings on and looked herself over in the mirror.

"Ya, well, Kohaku asked me out tonight and I accepted," she said happily.

"Riwee?" Kagome said as she brushed her teeth. "I taught oo 'iked 'eomaru?"

"I do but if he isn't interested…" Rin applied some light pink lip gloss to her lips and rubbed them together. "…I just won't go out with him."

"I see," Kagome gargled some water and dried her mouth on a towel. "But Kohaku is Sango's little brother."

"So? If I like him, I'm gonna date him!" Rin waved goodbye and set out through the door. Ayame stirred from over in her bed and grumbled something in her sleep. Kagome sighed and started getting dressed. As she was pulling on a pair of dark blue jeans, Sango yawned and stretched.

"Hmm…wha' time is it?" she asked sleepily.

"Ten. I guess that detention took more outta you then you though, huh?" Kagome laughed. Sango nodded and pulled the covers off of her body. She shook Ayame until the girl grumpily woke up and walked into the bathroom rubbing one eye.

"I'm gonna take off," Kagome said, grabbing her purse. "Call me on my cell if you need me." Sango lazily waved a hand and continued working on her Math homework. Kagome smiled and left the room. She passed many people she knew and even Sesshomaru. She stopped when she saw him.

"Hey, Sess, where you headed?" she asked curiously. He looked a bit startled but smiled down at Kagome.

"Your dorm room actually," he answered, blushing slightly. "I was wondering if…Rin was there?"

"Ohh, sorry, you just missed her," Kagome responded. "I think she may be meeting Kohaku." Sesshomaru looked bothered by this but he still smiled.

"Thanks. I'll check the cafe then." He waved and headed back towards the elevators. Kagome blinked and smiled. If she found Rin first…

She took off running towards the stairs to find her young friend, knowing this news would shock and excite her.


"You pick," Rin said.

"I dunno, I want to know where you wanna go tonight," Kohaku replied.

"Anywhere's fine with me," Rin said breezily. "As long as it has good food."

Kohaku laughed and answered, "Alright, how 'bout Subway?"

"I love Subway!"

"Rin! Hey, Rin!"

Rin turned her head to see Kagome rushing over. When she reached the table, she looked out of breath. When she noticed Kohaku she gulped.

"Can we talk in private?" she asked. Rin looked confused but nodded and told Kohaku she would be right back. Kagome led her into the girls bathroom.

"I just talked to Sesshomaru and he was looking for you!" She said hurriedly. Rin gasped and squealed.

"Seriously!" she said, her face reddening.

"Yes!"

"Ohhhh my God, oh my God, oh my God!" Rin started pacing but her face was lit up and she looked flushed. "What am I gonna do? If he asks me out tonight, what am I supposed to say?"

"Just tell him you have other plans," Kagome reasoned. "Or stay for the Thanksgiving feast and eat it with both Kohaku and Sesshomaru." Rin stopped and grinned at her friend.

"Thanks a great idea!" she said, hugging Kagome in thanks. "I'll ask Kohaku! If you see Sesshomaru please tell him I want to eat tonight with him too!"

She waved goodbye and dashed out of the bathroom. Kagome watched her go, smiling the entire time.


"Are you ready yet!" A frustrated Miroku asked.

"Almost!" Sango called from the bathroom in her dorm room. Miroku was sitting on her bed with his arms crossed, an annoyed look on his face. He was wearing a purple jacket and ripped jeans. When Sango came out of the bathroom, she had on a pink tank top with a white coat over it that was unzipped. A green short skirt with tiny pink flowers embroidered on it and white flip flops completed her outfit. All that was left to do was put on makeup and earrings.

"You want me to look good for the feast, don't you?" she asked calmly, putting on some light pink eye shadow.

"Well ya, but I'm starving!" Miroku complained.

"Fine, fine! I'm finished!" Sango sighed, after adding lip gloss and heart shaped earrings. She slipped her purse over her shoulder and followed Miroku out of the room.

"So what are your other friends plans?" Miroku asked, pushing the button on the elevator.

"Well, Rin has a date with Kohaku and Ayame went with Koga. I think."

"And Kagome?"

"She didn't say anything. How about your roommates?"

"Sesshomaru didn't say anything either, Koga's with Ayame, and InuYasha…actually, I don't know what his plans are. Maybe with Kikyo or something."

Sango gulped and nodded. The elevator reached their floor and they stepped in. After getting out and walking over to the cafeteria they saw Koga and Ayame. They waved and sat down at one of the long tables. There were about twenty long tables and each seat had a plate, cup, and silver wear at it.

"So you two came together huh?" Sango commented as she looked at Ayame and Koga.

"I guess," Ayame answered.

"We could say the same for you," Koga smirked. Sango snorted and grinned.

"Come on, we do lots of stuff together!"

"So do we!" Ayame smiled. InuYasha came over just then with Kagome at his side. They sat down beside Miroku and Kagome smiled. Everyone starred.

"Aren't…aren't you guys fighting?" Ayame asked. Kagome shook her head.

"We made up. And since neither of us had a date, we came together."

"If you needed a date, Ka---" Koga started, grinning.

"No thanks Koga," she answered simply, reaching for the pitcher of ice water. She poured herself a glass and started filling her plate with food. Mashed potatoes with gravy, biscuits, cranberry sauce, stuffing, everything Thanksgiving food you could imagine.

"Quite an appetite," Sango laughed, watching her friend. Kagome smiled and nodded.

"I haven't eaten all day!"

There was a voice from behind them which made everyone turn. Rin, Kohaku, and Sesshomaru were standing there grinning and looking for a place to sit.

"Hey!" Ayame greeted, scooting over to let them sit. They did and looked around the table.

"Everyone's here!" Rin said, starring at her group of friends. "There's Kikyo. Ha! She doesn't even have a date!"

"Lay off," InuYasha muttered, causing Kagome to fidget. The feast started when the turkey was served and everyone chatted while they ate.

"Sango, I love your earrings!"

"Nice shirt, InuYasha!"

"Hey, don't take the last biscuit!"

"Can you pass the gravy?"

It was an hour until everybody was finally full. That is, except for InuYasha.

"'Ey, why'd e'ryone 'op eating?" he asked with his mouth full of turkey.

"We're stuffed InuYasha!" Kagome answered groggily, leaning back and sighing heavily. "Come on, girls, let's head back to our dorm." She stood slowly and started towards the exit. But just as she reached it Mr. Kojima jumped in front of her.

"Ahh!" she screamed, startled. He merely smiled.

"Don't forget your detention, Miss Higurashi!" he said, handing her a rag and a bucket. "I want you to clean up the cafeteria once everyone has left."

"What?" Kagome shouted. "Are you kidding me? That will take all night!"

"Well, maybe you'll think twice about smashing a cake into someone's face next time. Remember to control you temper!" He wagged his index finger at her before walking away. Kagome let out an angry groan and went to fill the bucket with water.

"Stupid, lousy, good-for-nothing…" she mumbled as she walked over to the large sink in the kitchen. She waited until everyone was gone and started to wipe off the tables with the rag.

"Need any help?" a familiar voice said from behind her. Kagome whirled around in surprise to see InuYasha smiling at her, a mop in hand. She smiled.

"Yes. Thanks InuYasha."

And they cleaned the entire cafeteria together, having fun the whole time.
