Last Time:
Raising an eyebrow he looked at her. " So you would rather have every guy in the school ask you to the dance? I bet you don't have an excuse for everyone of them. What are you going to tell them? I can just picture it. " he then tried his best Kagome impression. " I'm sorry. " he said in a high voice. " I'm sick that day. "
Kagome looked at him in shock.
" One, I do not sound like that. And two, this will just be until after the dance is over. "
Inuyasha looked up at her amazed. " Your actually going to play along? "
" Of course. Its not every day you get to play a player. " she smiled as she walked towards the school.
This Time:
" So, you're going with Kagome to the dance? " Miroku smirked as he walked beside Inuyasha to school.
" Keh, I'm only pretending to go out with her to keep Kikyou off my back. " Inuyasha replied stiffly towards his friend.
" Are you sure that's the only reason? " Miroku raised his eyebrow all knowingly.
" Of course it is! Why would I want to go out with her of all people? She is the only girl in the entire school who can actually despise me. Plus, it's not like she has any sex appeal at all. " he scoffed as he walked along the sidewalk. Just then, he felt a dark aura behind him. Turning around he saw Kagome, Sango and Rin in a Bright red mustang/convertible staring at him with great intensity. (such a cool car by the way!) Inuyasha stepped away from the now fuming Kagome.
I swear I saw sparks flying from her. He thought as he backed away.
Turning her head she gave a very annoyed " Humph. "
" Wow Kagome! Nice car! " Miroku said in awe as he inspected every inch of the car.
" After seeing your car the other day, I realized I wanted one of my own. " she smiled as if it was an every day thing that she could go and buy and expensive car.
" Speaking of your cars, why aren't you two driving to school today? " Sango asked innocently.
A sweat drop appeared on Miroku's head as he turned towards the two girls. " Well… I was kind of driving Inuyasha's car the other day… and I accidentally mind you, dinted it. "
" DINTED IT? WHEN I FOUND YOU IT WAS REDUCED TO RUBBLE! " Inuyasha yelled towards his cowering friend.
" Well, long story short, my license is taken away, so I can't drive at the moment, and Inuyasha has no car to drive, hence the reason why we are walking. " Miroku looked at Kagome with puppy dog eyes.
" But why don't you just let the pervert drive your car? " Kagome asked.
" Well, my mom kind of took away my car… " Miroku answered solemnly.
Thinking for a moment, Kagome smiled. " Miroku, would you like a ride to school? "
A large grin was spread over his face as he got into the car. Just as Inuyasha started to approach the vehicle, Kagome gave him a wink. "This is for saying I have no sex appeal. " and with that, she sped off towards the school, leaving Inuyasha in the dust.
Eye twitching, Inuyasha ran after them, arriving just a few moments after they stopped in the parking lot.
" Wow Inuyasha, you're a fast puppy aren't you? " Kagome smiled as she walked past him.
Inuyasha walked behind her, following her towards the doors. Leaving the three friends snickering at there actions.
" So it seems you are on the same side as us. " Sango smiled as she looked at Rin.
Sighing, Rin replied " Kagome needs someone, and I will do anything in my power to bring those two together. "
" Welcome to the dark side. " Miroku said evilly as Sango rolled her eyes.
After all that has happed lately…Kagome, I will do everything in my power to assure your happiness. Rin thought as she entered the school.
Meanwhile, With Inuyasha and Kagome:
" Will you stop following me? " Kagome sighed as she rounded the corner.
" Keh, we have to pretend to be together don't you remember? " Inuyasha smirked as he looked at the horrified expression that was now on her face.
" I forgot all about that! " she said as she started off into a daze.
" Why? Why did I agree to this? I am pretending to date a pervert for gods sake! " she muttered.
" What did I say about calling me a pervert! " Inuyasha growled at her.
" Hmm… doesn't this conversation feel familiar? " She rolled her eyes. Just then, she bumped into something hard. Falling back, she found herself in Inuyasha's arms.
Looking up to see what she had bumped into, she saw Kikyou staring at her with disgust. " Inu baby, I see you still haven't dumped that little tramp yet. " she said scathingly.
Inuyasha growled. Kagome a tramp? Yea right!
Standing up, Kagome glared at Kikyou. " I see you still don't think we are a couple. " she said smugly.
" I don't think, I know. " Kikyou replied coldly.
" Of course Kikyou, I forgot. I mean, how could you think if you have no brain? " Kagome directed towards her.
Blood running towards Kikyou's head, she charged at Kagome. Smirking, Kagome dodged the attack easily. Inuyasha watched wide eyed as he watched her laugh at Kikyou's attempts to hit her.
How is Kagome doing this? Kikyou is a trained fighter and Kagome is dodging her attacks as if they were nothing. He stared in shock.
Yawning, Kagome grabbed Kikyou's hand and pushed her towards a locker. " You're going to have to do better then that if you want to beat me. " she smiled as she walked towards Inuyasha. " And if you want proof…" Standing up on her tip toes, she gave Inuyasha a quick kiss on the lips. Before he had a chance to respond, she pulled away.
Kikyou glared daggers at the couple. Just as there lips touched, Rin ran around the corner and she sniggered as she witnessed the kiss.
Grabbing her giant megaphone again, she turned towards the students in the hallway. " Attention, there you have it! Living proof that they are together! Photo's will be sold during lunch, and a new book about the relationships biography will be on sale this Christmas! " she yelled happily towards the now forming crowd.
" RIN! " Kagome yelled towards her cousin. Smiling, Rin turned towards Kagome. " I knew you two were together. "
Grabbing Rin by the hair, Kagome dragged her towards an empty hallway. " WILL YOU QUIT WITH ALL THIS PUBLICITY! " She yelled in Rin's face.
" Nope. " Rin replied simply.
" Why not? It's just a big lie that we are going out together so we can get people off our backs. " Kagome said more in a normal tone.
Rin looked up at her cousin for the first time with a serious face. " I wont stop. Not this time. " she said in a sad tone.
" But why? " Kagome asked quizingly.
" All this time… Uncle's death, Auntie's absence, you raising Souta, when is it enough? " Rin cried, tears welling up in her eyes.
Inuyasha stood behind the corner, listening to the conversation.
Kagome stood there silently for a moment.
" You have been through enough! Mom told me how Aunty has to go away for a few months. How could you not tell anyone about this? " Rin cried as she latched onto Kagome's shirt.
" Why can't you think of yourself for once? It's ok to express your feelings once in a while! Cry when you want to, laugh when things are funny! You always looked out for me when we were younger, and now it's my turn to help you. " she sobbed as tear drops fell onto Kagome's shirt.
" I knew there was a reason for you coming here. " Kagome smiled sadly. " You don't have to worry, I'm fine. Sure I miss dad, and sure it's hard without mom…but I will continue to be strong… and that's why, you don't have to worry about me " Kagome replied as she returned the hug. A single tear fell from her eye, but she still smiled.
Inuyasha stood there silently, as the conversation ended. She still smiles… Why does she still smile? No normal human could go through all of that and still smile like she does. And what's all this about her mom leaving? I thought she was just away for a week! He thought. Rin's right. Enough is enough. But still…It's that one smile that she always has, that seems to make me smile right back. Turning with a sigh, he walked slowly towards his next class, lost in a world of thoughts.
XxXxXxX
Miroku sighed as he walked down the road next to Sango, Inuyasha, and Kagome.
" Arg! I can't believe that brat of a cousin of mine! " she yelled aloud. " I mean, how could she take my car? "
Miroku sighed.
" I mean who does she think she is? " Kagome yelled again.
Miroku sighed.
" WILL YOU STOP THAT! " Kagome yelled at him.
Miroku sighed.
Eye twitching, she hit him across the head.
Not phasing him he said aloud " Don't you just love fall? ". He smiled as he drifted off into his own little world.
" What the hell are you talking about? " Kagome asked irritably.
" It's defiantly my most favorite time of year. " he sighed again.
" It wouldn't be for some perverted reason now would it? " Kagome asked in an all knowing tone.
Looking offended, Miroku stopped. " I can't believe you think that of me! "
" I was merely expressing my thoughts aloud! No one respects me! " he said in a hurt tone.
Feeling kind of bad, Kagome replied " I'm sorry Miroku…It's just… "
Before she could continue, Miroku began his rant again. " I mean, just because the autumn wind occasionally raises up the school girls skirts is no excuse to accuse me of something so perverted! "
Sweat drops appeared on all the occupants of the side walk.
Sango hit him on the head with her backpack while calling him a pervert.
" Arg, Miroku, when is your mom going to give you your car back? I hate walking! " Inuyasha complained as he walked behind his friend.
" Speaking of my mom…" Miroku turned innocently towards Inuyasha.
" What did you do? " Inuyasha asked with a note of panic in his voice.
Smiling he looked up at his friend. " Oh nothing, she just wants you to come over tonight for dinner that's all. "
Letting out a breath of relief, Inuyasha replied " Ok, I will be there. "
" Good. " Miroku grinned as a naughty expression landed on his face.
" Kagome and Sango, you should be there around 6:30. "
Inuyasha's head snapped towards Miroku's direction. " WHY ARE THEY COMING? " he yelled in panic.
" Why, because mother wants to meet the girl who has stolen my heart of course. " Miroku answered in affection.
Sango blushed for a moment before rolling her eyes.
" Ok, but why is the wench going? " he asked in a panic.
" I think you know what she is up to. " Miroku smirked.
Rolling his eyes Inuyasha smirked. " Yeah, like this brat will pass her test. " he pointed at Kagome.
" Will you stop talking about me? " she yelled in defense.
" Your still here? " Inuyasha said in mock surprise.
Running up to him she kicked him in the shin.
" The wench is not coming! " Inuyasha yelled as he recoiled in pain.
Smiling, she turned to Miroku. " I would love to come. " Sticking out her tongue she ran up the steps towards her house.
" Hey wench! What did I say about you sticking your tongue out at me! " he yelled as he watched the girl retreat.
" Your fighting a losing battle. " Miroku sighed as he walked ahead.
XxXxXxX
" Why of all the nerve. " Kagome thought ruthlessly as she stomped towards Miroku's house in fury later that day.
Just then, Miroku came out with a confused gaze. " Kagome? Inuyasha said you were sick and couldn't make it! "
" Oh he did, did he? " she smiled menacingly. " That bastard called and told me that he would come and pick me up. But seeing as how he doesn't have a car, I knew he was lying. Oh, Inuyasha you're in for it now. "
" Oi Miroku! What's all the fuss abo—" Inuyasha stopped when his eyes landed on Kagome.
" Shit. " was all he could say before Kagome pounced on him. " You bastard! How dare you try and trick me! " she screamed as she pulled him to the ground.
" You crazy bitch, get off me! " he yelled as he tried to keep the girl off him.
" Starting a fight again are we Kagome? " a tall woman giggled as she approached the two on the ground.
Looking up, Kagome's eyes shown with stars. " Mika! " She screamed happily as she latched on to the older woman.
Eyes widening with shock, Miroku turned towards Inuyasha. " How does Kagome know my mom? "
Equally surprised, Inuyasha answered " How the hell should I know? "
" I missed you so much! " Kagome cheered happily as she got off Miroku's mom.
" Wait a second, First off, how do you two know each other? " Miroku pointed towards his mom.
A familiar smile appeared on her face as she answered " Do you remember when your father would be away on business trips Miroku? "
" Yeah, but what does that have to do with her? "
" Well, your fathers job was to train young Kagome here. Her parents wanted her to have all the protection possible, seeing as how Kagome—" she cut herself off after getting a furtive glance from Kagome. Catching herself, she began again, " Seeing as how Kagome owns so much money. "
" WHAT! YOU'RE SAYING WENCH, THAT YOU HAVE ALL THAT TRAINING AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME? " Inuyasha yelled at her.
" Must have slipped my mind. " she smiled innocently.
" Mind? You? Hah, don't make me laugh! " Inuyasha stuck his tongue out at her.
BAM
Kagome's foot collided with Inuyasha, sending him flying towards the ground.
" Oh get up, I can tell that you are highly trained as well you idiot. " Kagome rolled her eyes.
" Well that explains your and Rins abnormal strength. " he muttered to himself while rubbing his head.
Putting a hand to his head, Miroku then asked " Wait. I have one more question for you mother. " he turned stiffly towards her.
The mood grew serious as the two stared at each other. The air was so tense you could cut it with a knife.
" Just tell me one thing… " Miroku started.
" Who is this Mika that Kagome keeps talking about? "
Everyone in the area fell down anime style at Mirokus stupidity.
" YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW YOUR OWN MOTHERS NAME! " Inuyasha and Mika yelled in union.
" Heh…Must have slipped my mind. " Miroku said under the wrath of Inuyasha and his mother.
Muttering to himself Inuyasha grumbled " Keh, that happens a lot these days. "
After a few moments of silence, Mika cheered aloud.
" Well come on in Kagome, you must tell me of how you met our dear Inuyasha. Oh, I can't wait to tell your mother on your blooming relationship. "
" Eh? " Kagome said as her eyes grew large. Looking at each other, Inuyasha and Kagome screamed together,
" WHY WOULD I EVER GO OUT WITH SOMEONE LIKE HIM? "
" WHY WOULD I EVER GO OUT WITH SOMEONE LIKE HER? "
" Hm? But Miroku told me that you two were going to the dance together. " she smiled as she pointed the blame on her son.
Glaring daggers at the boy, Kagome turned towards Mika. " I don't really want to go with him, I am being forced. " she sighed.
" I mean, why would I want to go to the dance with a pervert like him? "
" Aw Kagome, I see you still haven't changed. An untouchable beauty. " Mika sweetly grinned as she looked down at Kagome.
" I don't know what you are talking about. " Kagome huffed as she looked away.
" But of course you do. I remember you would always beat up any guy who asked you out. I never really understood why you never had a boyfriend until I saw what you did to that poor hojo boy who came and asked you to the movies. " Mika giggled.
" Even though I would have never let you date with him. " she said in a mothering tone.
" Mother dearest, are you telling me Kagome has never had a boyfriend? " Miroku asked innocently.
" Why, that's exactly what I saying. " Mika continued in a cheerful voice.
Blood rushing to her head from embarrassment, the two continued.
" Not even one? "
" Nope. None at all. "
" I knew she was a ruthless girl, but who knew she would go that far. " Miroku smirked.
Just as Kagome was about to explode, Inuyasha's voice questioned aloud.
" If she beats up everyone who asks to take her out… then why did she agree for me? "
Everyone turned towards Kagome. " Well… I… uh… Sango! That's it! I did it for Sango. She wanted me to come along for her date. And I couldn't just say no. " she lied. Why did I go on that date anyway?
" Well anyways…" Mika began. " Lets go inside while we wait for our lovely Sango to arrive. " she cheered.
" So Mika. I'm glad you finally have given up on finding me a boyfriend. " Kagome gave out a relieved sigh. " You never approved any of them, always testing any boy who visited. "
" Who said I gave up? " Mika smiled as she gave Inuyasha a quick nod.
