YAY FOR TEACHER STRIKES AND THEIR STRIKING WAYS!

Last Time:

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.

This Time:

Sitting at the table, Miroku stared with a complete look of glee written on his face.
Inuyasha on the other hand, held a look of horror.

Eyes bulged as they looked at the scene in front of them.
Never, in all of there lives had they witnessed something so shocking, something so…unnatural… They were at loss for words.

Sitting in front of them, were three happily chatting women. Laughing at meaningless things, they smiled as they completely ignored the males at the dinner table.

Kagome, Sango, and Mika were all chatting away as if they were friends from a past lives.

The reason for the boys shock however, was that they had never witnessed Mika actually talk to a girl they brought home. She always looked down at them with cold stares, and gave them occasional glares when they spoke.

Now, they see her giving Kagome and Sango warm mothering glances, her usually cold eyes sparkled with glee.

" So Sango dear, how long have you been going out with my son? " Mika asked innocently.

Blushing, Sango glanced at Miroku for a moment before speaking. " Well… We have actually only gone out on one date… But I guess two weeks or so? "

A large smile was plastered to Miroku's face. So she thinks of me as her boyfriend?

" Well that's wonderful dear! I hope he hasn't done anything perverted mind you… " Mika said with an annoyed tone.

Putting a finger to her mouth, Kagome asked in an awed voice " I still wonder Mika! How is it, someone as sweet as you have such a perverted son? "

Giggling, Mika faced her. " He must have gotten it from his father's side of the family. "
Just then, a mischievous twinkle sparkled in her eye.
" So Kagome…When can I expect little nieces and nephews from you and Inuyasha? "

Mouth opening in shock, Kagome started to sputter. " Ack! You ARE just like Miroku! "

Looking innocent, Mika opened her mouth again. " Perverted? Me? Never… I just can't

wait for visits from such sweet children yelling Aunty! Oh, what beautiful children you will produce, I can hardly wait! " She said dreamily.

( there not really blood related aunty/niece/nephew, Its just that she is close friends with Inu and Kag, Now that that's cleared up… )

Blood rushing to their heads, Kagome and Inuyasha looked down at their plates silently.

Carrying on blissfully Mika sighed " I mean, first you will have to get married, but I suppose you have already gone pretty far when it comes to your relationship…"

Sango and Miroku sniggered as they watched there friends sink deeper and deeper into embarrassment.

" Heck, I bet you guys have already done that by now! " she laughed gleefully.

Just then, Inuyasha and Kagome stood up. Both of them walked away from the table and out the door.

Sighing, Miroku turned towards his smiling mother. " Mother dearest, you didn't by any chance plan this did you? "

Looking innocent, she smiled. " Plan what? "

Looking out towards the window, Sango sighed. Miroku is exactly like his mother.

XxXxXxX

Walking outside, both Kagome and Inuyasha found themselves facing the pouring rain. An annoyed scowl etched across Kagome's face as she looked down at her plain white t-shirt. Eyes shifting towards Inuyasha, she saw him smirk.

" Looks like you're going to have fun walking home like that. " Inuyasha said casually as he watched to see what she would do.

Fuming, she stuck her nose up in the air. Giving a giant " Hmph! " she stomped out away from her covered area into the pouring rain.

Immediately getting a shock from the freezing water rushing onto her skin, she held back a " eep. "

Walking down the steps, she felt something cover her quickly becoming see through shirt. Looking back, she saw Inuyasha looking up at the sky. " Here, Borrow this. " He motioned towards the sweater that was now covering her.

Feeling grateful, she gave him a quick thank you.
" Hold you're thanks. " he smirked.
Looking at him, eyes full of questions, she waited for him to continue.
" You owe me a favor. " he smirked. " I will explain tomorrow at school. "

Before she could protest, Inuyasha had ran ahead, leaving her alone, wet, and shocked.

XxXxXxX

Legs heavily moving up and down, Kagome sauntered down the steps.

" Kagome! You're going to be late for school! " Rin yelled as she quickly brushed the hair from Kagome's incredibly fat cat off her.

Whining, Kagome yelled down the stairs " I don't want to go! " She dreaded facing Inuyasha after his bold statement the other day. Knowing him, he will make me be his slave for a week or something.

" You are coming, and that is that! " Rin said in a stern tone.

" Who are you? My mother? " Kagome asked in a defeated manner.

" Hell no, If I was your mother I would be pressuring you for grandchildren! " Rin smiled as she opened the door for her cousin.

Rolling her eyes, Kagome followed her towards the garage.

XxXxXxX

" Kagome! Come on! You have to go to class! " Sango said between breaths. Her and Rin were trying to pull Kagome away from her death grip towards her locker.

" I'm…NOT…GOING! " she yelled in protest.

" She won't budge. " Sango said to Rin as they walked towards there lockers.

An idea popping into her head, Rin told Sango to wait for a moment while she ran and got something.

A few moments later, Rin came with the desired object, and Sango laughed at Rins brilliance.

" Thank god they gave up. " Kagome breathed steadily as she listened to the bell ring, signaling for the students to be in class.

Feeling a hand on her shoulder, Kagome's body stiffened. " Hey wench, I was sent to get you. " Inuyasha smirked as he stood in the otherwise empty hallway.

Turning around, an alarmed Kagome stared at him in shock.

" Soooooooooooo " Inuyasha said casually as he watched her grimace.
" I heard you didn't want to go to class. " He smiled as with every word, she cringed.
Smirking he said slyly. " I do recall… That you owe me a favor, Oh almighty Kagome Higurashi. "

There, he said it. The one thing she was dreading.

Coming closer to her, Inuyasha placed one hand on her hip. Looking up at him, anger blazing in her eyes she whispered darkly " Bold move dog boy. "

Smirking, he bent down and whispered in her ear. " About this little favor… " he started.

Shivering under his touch, Kagome listened intensively.

" I noticed last night, that to the rest of the school, we are going out. " he hissed seductively. " And I also noticed, that we have done nothing to prove to them that we are. "

Kagome's mind clouded with bewilderment. What is he planning?

" For a whole week, until next Wednesday morning is over, you must actually act as thought you are my girlfriend. If someone asks, you will tell them it is true, If they need proof… You will not be one to deny them. " Inuyasha explained.

Eyes widening, Kagome stood back. " You're blackmailing me into being your girlfriend? " She said in shock.

" Who said anything about black mail? You are going to do this on your own free will. " He smirked. " I mean, you do owe me a favor. "

" I truly hate you. " Kagome coldly stated as she pulled his hands off her. She walked towards her class, a grinning Inuyasha behind her.

XxXxXxX

Walking steadily through the crowded hallways, Kagome sighed as she made her way towards the cafeteria.

Sango followed her as she sat down, and was soon joined by Miroku and a gloating Inuyasha.

" What's with you today Kagome? " Sango asked, worry clearly in her voice.

Sighing, Kagome explained about how she was being forced into a relationship with Inuyasha. After she was finished, she sweat dropped as she looked at Sango and Mirokus expressions. They both smiled mischievously, and Miroku even patted Inuyasha on the back.

" You've got guts my friend. " Miroku smiled silently.
Mouth opening in shock, he turned towards Sango. " My dear Sango! Did you know that right now we are separating true love? " he motioned to there seating positions. The seating plan at there rectangular table was currently Miroku and Inuyasha on one end, and Sango and Kagome on the other.

Giving an identical shocked face, Sango turned towards her boyfriend. " Your right my smart Miroku! "

" We cant have this now can we? " Miroku asked aloud.

" No we can not! " Sango said in an identical audible tone.

Sango stood up, and quickly pushed Inuyasha out of his seat, sending him flying towards Kagome.

" Damn it Miroku! Why is it you pick the only girl with godly strength to be your girlfriend? " Inuyasha yelled as he rubbed his head.

Smiling that Sango was acknowledged as his girlfriend, Miroku started to go off into a daze. Just then, an idea popped into his head. " Sango! I just remembered! "

Looking puzzled Sango waited for and explanation.

" I remember you telling mother that you have only been on one date with me. "

" So? " She asked.

" How about we change that? "

A faint blush appeared on Sango's cheek just before a wicked idea popped into her mind. " Oh Miroku, I would love to go! But, lets make it another double date, seeing as how both our best friends are dating each other. "

Kagome grimaced as she sent death glares towards her friend. Inuyasha smirked as he snaked an arm around her waist. " Keh, we except. "

Standing up, Kagome glared at him. " What are you talking about? I never agreed to this!" she yelled, temper rising.

Loving the way she looked when she was angry, Inuyasha prodded further. " Of course you agree to it, we ARE boyfriend and girlfriend after all. " he emphasized on the ' are ' part.

Controlling her anger, Kagome sat down, mumbling on her plans to murder her friends.

" You know Inuyasha, I somehow think that by the end of this, you are going to end up in a hospital. " Sango mused as she watched the bickering ' couple ' .

Sulking, Kagome bent her head low onto the table. Her rest however, was interrupted by a loud screech. " Oh Innnnnnnnnnuuuuuuuu Baby! " The shrill voice yelled from behind them.

Turning around she found kikyou holding on to Inuyasha's neck, with no intention of letting go. Inuyasha gave her a look that showed disgust. He mouthed the words " Help me! "

Turning towards Sango and Miroku, she ignored his silent pleas. Who does she think she is? Trying to steal another girls boyfriend? Wait, He is NOT my boyfriend! Arg! Of all the nerve.

She continued to ignore the now battling Inuyasha.
" Inu baby, have you dumped that girl yet? " Kikyou asked innocently.

" Kikyou—Get—Off – ARG " Inuyasha yelled as he tried to get the girl off.
Standing on her tip toes, Kikyou neared his face. " How about we go out sometime tonight? " nearing his lips, he was in no position to escape.

Having enough, Kagome stood up and walked towards them. " Sorry Kikyou darling, but Inuyasha is taking me out tonight, seeing on how he is my boyfriend. "

Lowering herself from him, Kikyou stood facing Kagome. " When is this little game going to end? I know for a fact that you two aren't going out. "

Rolling her eyes Kagome said " God Kikyou, how many times to I have to explain to you that Inuyasha and I are a couple? " walking around her, Kagome stood beside Inuyasha.

Smirking, His arm found its self around her waist. " We ARE dating, We ARE going to the dance together, And you ARE NOT going to do anything about it! " she smiled.

At a loss for words Kikyou just stared.

" Hah, Looks like you don't win this match. Plus, to prove we are already going out we have already done THAT " Inuyasha winked.

Kagome's body froze up. He… DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!
" Inu…Darling…" Her voice dripping with venom. " Will you please accompany me to my next class.

Afraid, Inuyasha tried to get out of it. " Uh… Sorry babe… I uh…have to go to the office! Yea that's it! "

Grabbing him by the ear, she dragged him towards the door. " Well that's just wonderful, I was on my way there as well. "

Giving Inuyasha a sympathetic look, Miroku sat by his girlfriend as he watched his best friend being dragged to his death bed.

As soon as the doors closed behind her, Kagome turned towards him. " Inuyasha… YOU JERK! " she screamed at the cowering boy.

" YOU PERVERT! "

WACK

" JERK! "

BAM

" PIG! "

SLAP

" Ah, Kagome you crazy bitch, get off me! " He yelled between beatings.

" How dare you! I have never had a boyfriend, let alone sleep with someone! Especially you! " she yelled as she continued to hit him.

" Ok, Ok, I get it!" Inuyasha said standing up. " Don't worry, I will clear it all up. "

Seeing a relieved look on the girls face, he smirked. " Hmm…I wonder why you came and interrupted that kiss of death Kikyou was about to give me… " he started.

" I mean, You of all people, couldn't be jealous. "

Letting out an angry breath, she turned away from him.

" Hah! You were jealous! But don't worry, There's no way Kikyou could take me away from you that easily " he scoffed.

" Kagome? " Inuyasha said, moving so that she was facing him.

Quickly turning the other way, she didn't meet his eyes.

" Ah, the power of embarrassment. I mean, just because you WERE jealous, its no need to feel ashamed. " he pushed on as the blood boiled to her head.

" And here I was, thinking you didn't have any feelings for me. I am truly touched. " he sniggered.

" But you know, If you wanted to go out with me so badly, you shouldn't have played hard to get. " he played.

Getting angrier by the minute, Kagome was about to stomp off.

" Keh, you can't ignore me wench. " He said as he walked around to face her again.

Sticking up her nose defiantly, she refused to look at him.

Wrapping his arm around her for what seemed like the third time that day, he responded slyly " You know, instead of telling everyone it's a lie, we could just actually try and give Mika those nieces and nephews she's so crazy about. "

Eyes opening in shock, she slapped him across the head.

" Hah! I new you couldn't ignore me. " he said triumphantly.

Finally turning to face him, she stuck her tongue out at him. Thankful she took the bait, he leant down crushed his lips on to hers. Suspended for a few moments, the two felt electricity go through them. Inuyasha was dumbfounded for a moment as he thought What the hell…I've kissed so many other girls…but with Kagome…Its somehow different…

Pulling away he smirked " What did I tell you about sticking your tongue out at me ? "

Feeling her swollen lips, she blushed for a moment before returning to the table, leaving a confused Inuyasha behind. What a strong will she has, most girls would want more. He smirked as he followed her.

XxXxXxX

Sitting in class, Kagome sat dreamily looking out the window.
That Inuyasha, what a pervert!
But you have to admit, when he wants to, he does kiss good.
Her mind battled.
No! I will not be taken in by his charm, how ever much or lack of there may be! She yelled at herself.
Fine, think what you want to think, but deep down you know you wanted more.
YEA RIGHT!

A large piece of paper then interrupted her thoughts as it collided with her head. Looking down at it, she let out a relieved sigh as she noticed it was from Sango and not a certain pervert.

Hey Kagome, the dance is this Friday, and It's already Wednesday, have you got a dress yet?

Pervert Hunter Sango

Laughing, Kagome scribbled down on the crumpled piece of paper.

No, I haven't got anything yet. Do you want to go to the mall today then?

dazed and confused, Kagome

I could have sworn I just saw an evil look in her eyes when she read that note Kagome thought to herself.

Returning the note, Sango giggled.

Upon opening the note, Kagome grimaced.

Sure, I would love to go to the mall today with you. Then afterwards we can meet up with our BOYFRIENDS for our date.

" And here I was forgetting all about that until now. " Kagome mumbled scathingly as she shot a glance towards her silver haired friend. He sat, leaning on the hind legs of his chair, balancing a pencil on his nose, completely ignoring the teachers lecture.

What a prick, Just because he is rich doesn't mean he doesn't have to study like the rest of us! She thought bitterly as she drove her thoughts towards her lessons.


XxXxXxX

" Kagome, you have to buy that. "

" No. "

" But it fits you so well. " Sango nodded as she circled the shy girl.

" Yes, but it's so short. " Kagome whined as she looked down at the short skirt she was currently wearing.

" Oh come on, I have seen you wear shorter. Plus, we have already bought our dresses, we just need something for our date. I'm sure Inuyasha would like it. " Sango smirked.

" Adding him into the conversation isn't helping. " Kagome said defiantly.

Raising an eyebrow Sango watched as the girl walk up to the till and pay for the skirt. " Oh really? "

Giggling, Sango turned to her friend. " You know, you weren't going to buy that skirt until I mentioned a certain silver haired boy. "

Sticking her nose up Kagome replied coolly " Of course I was. He has nothing to do with it. "

" Sure…" Sango said, rolling her eyes.

Walking through out the mall, Kagome started to get cat calls and whistles at her appearance. Feeling un easy, she turned towards Sango. " Uhm… When and where are they meeting us? "

Taking a moment to think, Sango then said aloud, " Well, Miroku said they would meet us at the food court around 5:30… "

Looking up at the giant clock, Kagome saw that it was already 5:20, so they decided to make there way towards the tables.

Sitting down, they sighed as they lowered their bags beside them. Sipping a drink, Kagome tried to drown out the numerous stares from boys walking past.

Meanwhile:

Walking through the crowds, Inuyasha and Miroku made there way towards the food court. Upon arriving, they noticed a small gathering of guys staring at Kagome and Sango's table, each on with a look of pure enchantment.

Catching a few words of there conversation, Inuyasha started to growl.

" Hey, do you see that chick with the mini skirt? " one guy whispered to his friend.

" Yeah, she's really hot! " the friend replied.

Patting Inuyasha on the back, Miroku chuckled. " Looks like your girl has a lot of fans. "

" I'm liking her friend, she seems like she's looking for some fun. " a boy motioned towards Sango.

Hearing this, Miroku glared. " Lets kill them. "

Just as they started to near the crowd, two boys had already gotten past them towards the girls.

" Hey girls, would you two like to go out sometime? " the first boy asked.

Looking up, Sango and Kagome saw two very handsome boys in front of them.
" Sorry, but we have boyfriends. " Sango replied cheerfully.

" So? " the second boy asked.

" Sorry, but as I've said, we already have dates. " Sango explained again.

Looking a bit frustrated with Sango's antics, the first boy replied " And as I have already said, So what? " he said as he leaned on the table. Never had anyone refused a date with him, and god knows today would be the first.

" She said we already are taken, so I think that's your cue to leave. " Kagome cut in sternly, looking up from her drink from the first time.

Smirking, the second boy grabbed on to her wrist. " I like this one, she's got spunk. " Pulling Kagome up, he pulled her in closer.

Sango, seeing what they had done to Kagome only waited. It's there funeral.

" Were going to have fun now aren't we? " he smiled as he placed his hand on her waist.

Fire burning in her eyes, Kagome had had enough. Grabbing his now groping arm, she flung him up into the air, and kicked his side, sending him flying into the floor.

Inuyasha and Miroku watched wide eyed as the boys got the shit kicked out of them.

" What…What are you? " the first boy retreated, still holding on to Sango's wrist.
" Your worst nightmare. " Kagome replied as she approached him.

The guy then released Sango and charged towards Kagome. Smirking, she caught his attempting to punch her hand, and twisted it. Side kicking him, he landed with an " Oomph " on his already trying to escape friend.

Scampering away, the boys didn't look back.

" Heh, and you said my girlfriend was the one with godly strength. " Miroku gulped as he watched the scene.

The girls returned to there seats and started to fix there hair, chatting away as though nothing new had happened.

Still shell shocked, Inuyasha and Miroku approached the table cautiously.

" Hello ladies. " Miroku smiled.
" I hope you weren't waiting long. " he continued.

Sitting down, both boys waited for them to shout out about there ruff in.
" So…Anything happen while we were away? " Inuyasha began.

" Nope. " Both girls replied simply.

" Nothing… at all? " Miroku edged on.

" Well… Sango and I bought our dresses for the dance. " Kagome said, thinking hard.

" That's it? "

" Yup. " Sango replied.

" I see… " Miroku said aloud. I wonder why they don't think of it as a big deal?

" Well, we better get going. " Sango said, motioning towards the door.

Standing up, both couples walked side by side.

Seeing the group of boys looking over at Kagome again, Inuyasha brought her closer to him, resting his hand on her side protectively. Bending down low, he whispered in her ear, " So wench, why didn't you pull any of those crazy ninja moves on me earlier today?"
