Chappy 8

"Kagome! Where the hell were you last night!" came the angry call of her father. Kagome hurriedly walked out the front doors trying to escape what she was afraid would come.

"Get back here NOW!" her father yelled as she ran down the driveway which took a good 5 minuets to do. The heels that she was wearing were beginning to blister her feet by the time she got four blocks from school.

"Damn shoes…" she mumbled as she pulled down her skirt.

"Stupid skirt." she snapped. Not a big fan of her mothers clothes choices, she decided to make due with it, Changing out her 'light pink panther suite' for a nice jean and black outfit…though her mother still made her wear the white mini skirt and heels.
"Why do you curse me so?" she wondered allowed as she closed her locker door.
"Hey you." came a smiling voice. Kagome rolled her eyes saying
"Kouga I've told you no, at leas-" as she turned around to come face to face with Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha?" Blinking unsurely she recalled the other nights events and grinned before coming to her senses.

"Inuyasha!" she snapped at him. He stepped back surprised with a nervous look when she let her hair fall about her face, she winked and gave him a small smile before tucking it behind her ear. Getting the drift he decided to play along.
"Don't Inuyasha me! Your in my way now move you stupid wench!" he snapped back pushing past her. She faked being pushed into the lockers. "Baka! Don't you know how to treat a lady with respect?" came the wretched voice of Kouga. 'Oh no!' came Kagome's instant reaction.
"Kouga its okay lets go, this loser just wants some attention." she huffed and pushed past the crowd of people that had surrounded the fake quarrel.
'Phew that was close. I almost forgot what she said the other night.' he thought a little embarrassed as Sango and Miroku gave him questioning looks.

Kagome sat in her desk in her own little world. Last night she came home very late after spending the night at Ayame's apartment. She hadn't felt like coming home to get a new bruise to replace the one she had just got rid of, the one Ana had given her. She had barley escaped her fathers furious calls that morning.

"Miss. Higurashi…do I have your attention?" he teacher sneered. Kagome gave a little jump and made a squeaking noise.
"Sorry?"
"Just as I thought. Detention. Today after school."
"Yes ma'am." Kagome said, for the first time a little excited for detention.

"Oie…do you think there's something wrong with Inuyasha?" Sango whispered to Miroku and Ana.
"No. Why do you ask?" Miroku answered.
"Cause there's a spring in his step." Ana said yawning.
"Ah-ha! So there is something going on!" Sango whispered excitedly.
"What's going on?" Miroku asked.
"So you noticed it too?" Sango whispered to Ana.
"Yeah he's been like that for the past day. Don't know why though."
"Really? I haven't noticed till today…"
"Maybe he's got a girlfriend. I'd be happy too."
"Who's got a girlfriend?" Miroku managed to get in.
"Inuyasha. Maybe. We don't know ye-" but Sango's sentence was cut off by Miroku.
"Whoot! Inuyasha's got a gi-" but was cut off hurriedly by Sango and Ana clamping their hands over his mouth and pulling him back down in his seat, just when Inuyasha turned around looking at them questionally.

"What about me?" he asked as they all gave him a nervous smile.
"Well? You called me didn't you?" he pressed on.
"No. No we didn't there must be something wrong with your hearing." Sango nervously laughed, scratching the back of her head. Inuyasha gave them a 'Do I look like a Idiot' look and went back to his nap. They all let out a sigh of relief. Sango gave Miroku a good bop on the head warning him to keep his mouth shut.

"Kagome my love. I brought you this freshly baked brownie." Kouga said sweetly wile putting his arm around Kagome as he sat down next to her in lunch. Kagome twitched a bit but didn't make any move to remove it.
"I'm sorry I'm not much of a brownie fan." she droned.

During her little detention the previous day she concocted a little plan to hide her and Inuyasha going out. She distasted the bastard but she felt that it was the best way to avoid all questions and looks that the student body had about her and Inuyasha. Deciding to let Kouga think that her and him were a 'item' as some would put it, but keeping all physical touching, other than arm around shoulder was off limits.

Inuyasha meanwhile was silently steaming as he watched the performance that was taking place the table ahead of his. Sango followed his gaze and spotted Kikyou sitting with some new guy. She briefly wondered if he still hadn't gotten over her.

"Hey Inuyasha you okay? You look a little red. No pun intended." she added as she noted his red tee-shirt. It took a minuet before he realized she said anything.
"You miss her. You still love her don't you." she stated rather than asked.

Inuyasha shrugged and went back to his food. He decided against eating the rest of it. Last time he had actually eaten school food, which was around 3 years now, he had gotten food poisoning, not to mention the person next to him found there retainer they lost the previousmonth in it. He shivered at the memory and pushed his tray forward.

"What? Not eating again?" Ana asked as she bit into her pizza crust first. "Hum….needs ranch dressing." She mused as she got up.
"You gonna eat that?" Miroku asked with stuffed cheeks pointing at the salad and mystery meat.
"Knock yourself out."

"So my lovely. Would you like to see a movie this Friday with me?" Kouga asked lightly gently stroking the side of Kagome's cheek. She had to admit that if it was someone other than Kouga that was stroking her cheek she would of actually enjoyed it. "I'm sorry Kouga. I already have plans. I'm going to stay over at Ayame's and spend some time with her. I'm Sorry. Maybe next time." she lied, hoping her cousin didn't find out about this. "Okay baby. I'll see you later I gotta go check up on something. Bye." he said as he got up from his seat, making Kagome shiver from disgust. That word was toxic in her opinion. And deadly coming from his mouth. She shivered again before getting bored with her lunch and getting a spoonful of the meat from who knows where. She took her aim...and fired.

Inuyasha sat relieved as Kouga left Kagome alone. He was just balancing the idea weather to go sit next to her or not, when he saw Kikyou suddenly spring up angrily from her seat and turn to her.

"You little bitch!" She snapped. Kagome looked around her before turning back to Kikyou.
"Where? I don't see a dog anywhere." She smirked as she leaned back in her chair.
"I knew I should of destroyed you a long time ago." Kikyou sneered as she leaned forward her hands on the table. A few people had turned to look at the small prep fight.
"Then why haven't you?" Kagome questioned interested.
"Because I want to make it the most painful and tormenting and embarrassing thing you have ever experienced." She said dangerously. Kagome was starting to get angry with the bitch in front of her.

"You know nothing of embarrassment. And no fucking thing of torment and pain." She all but yelled at Kikyou standing up and slamming her hands on the table in front of her. Inuyasha knew exactly what Kagome meant by her words, and knew Kikyou was about to go to far with her words.

"Oh you think so? Then what has been so bad in your life? Huh Miss.Teen popular? Or is popularity just to much to live up to? Are you starting to crack? Are you ready to give up what I worked so hard for you to achieve? I gave up being the most popular girl in school to a little slut, Who lusts over older men. Oh yeah I've heard about you flirting with old men, and the little disappearances that happen every day. You go missing and no one knows where you are. Are you trying to make a living by sleeping with the geeks of the school? Huh? Well are you, you little Whore?" Kikyou sneered. Kagome was furious.

Inuyasha knowing what was going to happen walked out ignoring the questioning looks of his friends and walked towards where he knew she would go afterwards.

She snapped. And boy did it feel good. She saw in slow motion as her fist combined with all her anger, her frustration, her pain, all came swinging up hard in the side of Kikyou's face. Kikyou screamed out and fell back onto the table behind her, falling unconscious as blood trickled out of her mouth. There were gasps and silence every where. No one spoke as the teen ran from the lunch room.

"Holly shit." Sango gasped in aw as Ana's pizza dropped from her mouth onto her tray in amazement.
"Another girl to go on the list of 'don't piss off unless you wanna die.'" Miroku whispered to himself making Sango snort with laughter.

"No one calls me a fucking slut! No one!" Kagome screamed from the roof of the school.
"I'm not a slut! I'm not a slut…" she told her self thinking back on what she had been doing in the past. Dressing like she does, kissing up to the hot boys in the school, flirting with every boy around making them want her, lust for her, getting drunk from the attention she received as she bent over to tie her shoe at football games in her little mini skirt. Now that she thought back on it, she was a bit of a slut. She waslying to herself of who she was. That's when she realized she was becoming one of them.

"I knew you'd come up here." Inuyasha said from behind her. She jumped startled and turned around.
"Really? How?"
"You always disappear and no one knows where you go. You cant drive. You have no way to escape this hell hole. So I came to the place I saw you a wile back." Kagome thought about this and it made since.
"Good thinking I guess."
"So what happened after Kikyou opened her big mouth." he said pulling her down into his hold where he sat.
"I punched her." she said like a little girl feeling very much like one in trouble at the moment.
"How hard?"
"She was knocked out. And bleeding." Inuyasha's eyes widened.
"God that must have been some punch. Did it feel good?" he asked grinning.
"Hell yeah did it!" Inuyasha laughed as she jumped in joy.
"So you don't regret it?" Kagome's face fell.
"Yes and no. I don't regret hitting her. But I regret having everyone know that I hit her."
"Your rep right?" she nodded.
"Don't worry. I'll protect you." She smiled in response.

(Hours later)

"So…where is he?" Sango asked.
"Did he skip?" Ana added.
"I'm here okay. Chill out. Lets go." Inuyasha said as he walked up behind them. Sango, Ana, and Miroku exchanged questioning looks before shrugging and following him to his car.

Kagome awoke from her small nap. After Inuyasha had left the sun had made her drowsy, and she curled up in the shade of the upper part of the building and fell asleep. It was very refreshing. She then decided she better get home before her father did. So she left the roof behind and started walking towards her home. Her long puffy hair bouncing behind her as she walked happily, feeling better than she had in long wile. She was very much looking forward to playing her drums today. And she smiled as she saw Inuyasha drive pass in his black sports car. She could just make out his grin and small wave as he snuck it to her. She giggled, took off her high heals and ran home.

Throwing open the door she ran inside spinning

"Hi mom!" he said happily as she hugged her and ran upstairs, leaving a baffled mother behind. Kagome turned on her music and grabbed her sticks. She played for hours. Working on making her own beats and practicing the more harder ones. She managed to come up with 4 beats of her own with out any music to guide her, and in her opinion they were pretty good. It was when the drum set started to do the tango with Miroku did she realize she had fallen asleep at her set.

A soft rapping on her window awoke her from her odd dream.
"Hey Kagome. Are you there?" She turned and looked at the window to find Inuyasha there.
"I-Inuyasha! What are you doing?" She asked jumping to her feet and hurrying to the window, her eyes wide with both surprise and shock. He grinned in answer.
"Come on. Lets go out."
"But its not Friday…"
"I know that. I just thought that you would enjoy going out for a walk or something. I mean you've only been practicing for hours, you need a break." He said grinning.
"O-okay if you say so. Hey! How did you know i was prac-"
"I was listening to it for a wile. Now go get un-preppy. That skirt annoys me…" Kagome laughed.
"Try wearing it. I hate it so much. But yeah be back in a few." and she hurried into her closet. 10 minuets later she came out as a new person. Wearing baggy knee length black shorts, a rainbow top, and her hair perfectly straight and bright purple and white checkered chucks with neon green squiggly laces made her look like some one he had never seen before. She had a dark side with a bit of cheer and he like it. Grinning like a idiot she headed for her window and he moved aside so as to let her climb out onto the trellis.

"Careful…I have no idea how much weight this thing can hold." she said nervously as he climbed down the side. His feet touched ground and she climbed down and hopped off the side of the trellis.

"Shall we?" Inuyasha asked holding out his hand. She took it and nodded and they walked off. They were silent for most of the time just enjoying each others company. But then they spotted the park and Kagome ran ahead towards the swings and Inuyasha hurried after her as she giggled and slipped away from his grasp.

"Haha too slow! Nya!" She said sticking out her tongue. She sat down on the swing and began to swing back and forth.
"Hey Inuyasha. Do you have any brothers or sisters?" she asked as he came around and began to push her.
"One bastard of a brother. Actually he's not even my full blooded brother. He's my half brother. But it doesn't make any difference. I still hate him." he said with disgust.
"Why do you hate him?"
"Don't know. Just do. He was never really much of a big brother to me. So I guess that's why I hate him. What about you?" he asked still pushing.
"One annoying little brother. But unlike you I don't hate him. We're pretty close. Sort of." she said looking out at the sky, which was beginning to grow dark.
"I should get back home…I…I don't want something bad to happen." Kagome said shakily. Upon hearing Inuyasha's small struggled sigh he stopped her swing and helped her up. Taking her hand in his they walked back to her mansion. As they were heading around the back to her window she stopped him.

"Um…I think you should go…I don't want you to get caught…Last I saw my father he was drinking…" She adverted her eyes and Inuyasha nodded understanding.
"Just be careful okay. Good night. I'll see you later." He said giving her a hug. He let go and she smiled up at him.
"Good night!" she said before running off to her window her hair swinging behind her.

"Hey Inuyasha! What happened to you yesterday? You missed practice. Why?" Sango asked sternly her eyes narrowing.

"Keh! I fell asleep. Get over it." He said leaning back in his chair. Sango wouldn't take this as an answer. "Spill it!" she snapped. "No. I fell asleep. Nothing more. Got it? Good."
