Chapter Thirteen
A….Date? Cheerleading? And Test Results?
March came along and Kagome and Ayame were trying out for cheerleading. It was good exercise and a lot of fun. Kagome slammed her gym locker shut and faced Ayame.
"Ready?" she asked excitedly.
"Ready!" Ayame smiled. They stood there for another minute before racing out of the locker room and into the gym. Try outs were just starting but the captain hadn't shown up yet. Kagome and Ayame chose seats near the back. So many other girls were trying out and the gym was noisy and loud.
"Hey Kag!" an older girl named Kanna called. She was Kagura's sister but the complete opposite. Kagome waved and smiled.
Finally, the captain walked in. Kagome nearly screamed. Standing there, dressed in the school's cheerleading uniform, was Kikyo. She was starring coldly around the room and clapped her hands together to signal silence. The large room fell dead quiet.
"Hello ladies," she said. "These are the Tokyo Co-ed Boarding School cheerleading try outs. I accept nothing less then perfection and anyone meeting below my standards will not make the team. I think we'll start out with the girls in the front row and work our way up."
She sat down at the long table at one end of the gym. "First up…Yura Santori!"
Yura smiled and stood. She went out and did a horrible routine. Everyone was holding back a laugh. When the music ended, she landed one her knee and her face screwed up in pain. But she still continued to smile. Kikyo clapped loudly and everyone else sort of clapped sloppily as if they didn't care.
"Congratulations! You made the team!" Kikyo said, handing Yura a blue and white uniform. Yura cheered and ran back to Tsubaki and Kagura. The three of them squealed and looked at uniform.
"Next is…Tsubaki Toshuma!" Tsubaki ran to the center of the gym. Of course, she passed as well as Kagura. Not many other girls passed except for Kanna, a popular girl, a girl named Shiori, another girl they didn't know, and some Kaguya person.
"Alright…Kagome Higurashi!" Kikyo shouted and when she realized what she'd read she winced.
Kagome smirked as Ayame wished her good luck. She hopped down the bleachers and onto the gym floor. She held her pom-poms close to her chest and stood in the center of the gym. As the music blared she smiled at Kikyo and winked. Kikyo glared back as Kagome began.
It was amazing. She did flips and twists and bends and things that looked impossible. Everyone was cheering loudly and they were even louder then the music. Kikyo starred in shock and almost fainted. The music suddenly stopped and Kagome flipped twice more and landed. The audience went wild and Kagome was sweating and grinning.
Kikyo's mouth was hanging wide open and she couldn't close it. Kagome raised an eyebrow as she walked over to the table.
"Well?" she asked, "Am I on the team?"
"I…I…" Kikyo stumbled. The audience was chanting Kagome's name and finally Kikyo cracked. "Fine! You're on the team!" She threw a uniform at Kagome and Kagome caught it. She waved it up for everyone to see and everyone cheered. She walked back up to Ayame and showed her the beautiful uniform.
It was dark blue and white. The skirt was short and you could tell that if you spun it would twirl along with you. The sleeves were thin and not long at all. And finally the pom-poms were dark blue. Every girl was required to where a sparkly white hair ribbon.
"Oh Kagome!" Ayame exclaimed. "It's gorgeous! Wouldn't it be great if we both made it!"
"What are you talking about?" Kagome asked. "You are gonna make it!"
Ayame smiled with confidence as her name was called. She went out and did her very best. She was accepted too and she and Kagome bounced around in joy. After try outs, they ran back to their dorm room to show Sango and Rin.
"You guys are gonna be the best on the squad!" Sango complimented. "Look at these uniforms! They're so…I can't even explain it!"
Kagome laughed. "Thanks Sango. Where are the guys? I wanna show them!"
Sango exchanged a look with Rin. Rin was the one to speak. "Well…they're…"
Kagome eyed them. "They're where?"
"Well…we're not supposed to tell…but they're at football try outs."
Kagome twitched. Suddenly, she and Ayame broke out laughing. "Oh ya! I can just see InuYasha playing…football!"
"And Koga…he should go out for track," Ayame said. "Sesshomaru's not a jock…and Miroku…NO WAY!"
They fell onto Rin's bed laughing harder. But suddenly the door flew open and the guys came charging in.
"We made it! We made it!" they were all shouting. They stopped when they noticed Kagome and Ayame. "What's so funny?" Koga asked.
"No…Nothing!" Kagome snorted. "So…who made the team?"
"Well, Sesshomaru never even tried out," Miroku informed them. "And InuYasha made it.." Giggles. "I made it and Koga made it. But he's also going out for---"
"Track?" Ayame cut in.
"Ya, how'd you know?" Koga asked.
"Lucky guess."
"So did you two make the cheer team?" InuYasha said.
"Yep! Both of us!" Kagome smiled, putting an arm over Ayame's shoulders. "And just look at the uniforms!"
She showed the guys the cheering uniforms and they all whistled and cheered.
"Oh shut up," Sango laughed.
The test results were supposed to come out on Friday. And today was Friday. Miroku paced around in his room with Koga sitting on the edge of his bed.
"Listen Miroku you'll do fine," Koga comforted. "Stop that damn pacing!"
"I can't! I know I failed the Writing portion! I can't stop thinking about it!" Miroku said this remark as he knocked over a glass that landed on his foot. "Shit! Koga, are there retakes do you know?" He picked up the glass and set it back on the nightstand.
"Sorry, no retakes. It's what they told me. And trust me I asked and asked."
"Come on…it's time to get it over with."
The two of them slowly walked out of the room and went down to the school. The main hall had a bulletin with the test scores. Koga pushed his way through the crowd to see his first. He looked for his name and when he found it he gulped.
Math-C
Science-B-
History-A
Writing-D+
Reading-A-
"Not too bad except for the Writing. Whatever, it's my worst subject," Koga mumbled to himself before finding Miroku and telling him.
"Let's see…here I am!" Miroku said, pointing to his name.
"Ouch! The Reading grade!" Koga said.
Math-A
Science-A
History-A
Writing-A-
Reading-D-
"A D- in Reading!" Miroku cried. "You've gotta be kidding me! I've never failed Reading!"
"Hey guys!" a girl voice came from behind them. The guys turned to see Ayame and Kagome.
"Hi," they both grumbled back.
"Uh oh. Seen your scores?" Kagome asked worriedly. When they nodded she sighed. "I haven't yet. 'Scuse me." She pushed past them to see her results.
Math-A-
Science-B
History-B+
Writing-A
Reading-A+
"Not bad!" Kagome smiled. "Ayame, here's your name!" Kagome pointed to Ayame's name and her friend took a look.
Math-A
Science-C
History-A-
Writing-D
Reading-B
"Great, a D in Writing!" Ayame wailed. "I'm dead!"
"Compared to my scored a D is good," Koga said. Ayame looked at him.
"Cheer up Koga!" she smiled and her eyes were sparkling. "I could tutor you if you want?"
"Sure. Just in everything except History and Reading though."
"Ok." They walked away discussing it. Kagome looked at Miroku and asked where the others were.
"I think Sango and Rin are in the girls' common room. And InuYasha and Sesshomaru are in the library. Why?"
Kagome smiled. "I wanna know what they got."
Sango looked up from her book. "Me? I got three A's, a B, and a B-. I think that's pretty good. I deserve it after all that studying."
"How 'bout you Rin?" Kagome asked.
Rin sighed. "Two A's, Two B's, and a D-. I suck at Math ok? My parents probably wont let me go on the vacation to Hawaii now! I can't believe this."
"I'm sorry," Kagome said. "Maybe you could visit me this summer? We'd have so much fun! You and Ayame too Sango."
"That would be awesome!" Sango smiled. "Then we could go to my house!"
"And after that…mine!" Rin laughed.
"Well, we can fantasize can't we?" Kagome sighed. "Come on, I wanna find InuYasha and Sess." The three of them stood and exited the room. After searching the library and still not finding the brothers, Kagome decided to check the cafeteria. Her friends followed her there and found InuYasha munching on a banana.
"Hey," Kagome smiled, sitting next to him. He looked sideways at her and returned her grin.
"Hi. What's up?" InuYasha responded.
"How'd you do on the tests?"
"…um…"
"Wow, that bad huh?"
"Yep. I got three D's and two F's."
"You're joking!"
"Nope. I'm just glad Sesshomaru convinced the coach to still let me play football."
"Football? Oh that's right. Ya, you're not supposed to play if you get lower then a C." Kagome was silent. "Hey, where'd Rin and Sango go?"
"There over there talking to Sesshomaru."
Kagome looked over by the salad bar to see Rin and Sango chatting with Sesshomaru. She smiled as Rin laughed at something Sesshomaru said. They are so good together, she thought. Sango seemed bored so she walked over to Kagome and InuYasha.
"Hey, we've decided to catch a movie tonight. You guys wanna come?" she asked.
"Sure, why not," InuYasha answered. "What movie?"
"Dunno yet. Probably a romance."
"A romance? No way! What about an action? Or humor?"
"Why do guys always want an action?" Kagome asked in an annoyed tone.
"Cause they're better!"
"They are not!"
"They are too!"
"They are not!"
"Can't you two go one day without fighting?" Rin asked as she and Sesshomaru walked over.
"No," InuYasha said.
"So are you guys coming with us to the movies?" Sesshomaru asked.
"We're not too sure yet," Kagome replied nervously.
"It's supposed to be a great movie. A romance but still good."
"Alright, I'll come," InuYasha said. "But only if I don't have to pay."
"I love romances so I'm in!" Kagome grinned.
"Great. It starts at 6 at Tokyo Cinema's. I'll pay for the movie, but you guys have to pay for your food," Sango informed them. She, Rin, and Kagome walked off towards the girls' dorm room to find Ayame while Sesshomaru and InuYasha stayed in the cafeteria.
"Think of it as a…date," Sesshomaru said to InuYasha. "With Kagome."
InuYasha fidgeted. "It is not a date with Kagome!" he growled. "What about you and Rin, huh? Ya, that's right, we all know you like her!"
Sesshomaru chuckled. "Sure, whatever you say. But you're the same way with Kagome so keep your mouth shut." He walked away to look for Miroku and Koga as InuYasha cussed under his breath.
