A/N: Hello everyone! Just so everyone knows, since a few people have asked, Inuyasha will NOT be finding out Kagome is a girl for a very long time. I plan on making this story long, so no worries. He will figure it out. But, someone will be finding out Kagome's secret incredably soon. Yes, very soon, indeed...
Chapter 4- A Visit From Sango
Kagome had to admit she wasn't the brightest person in the world sometimes. Of course, boys were to blame for that. She was smart, she was understanding of others, but she wasn't exactly a genious when it came to the opposite sex.
Perhaps that's why she didn't notice he liked her more than a friend...
"Kag!" Kagome heard Miroku's voice...but it was so far away. She felt something come into contact with her head. "Get up, moron! You have ten minutes to get ready! Are you awake? Hello?"
"Eh?" Kagome blinked her eyes open and grumbled at the light. "What?"
"Don't whine at me! I'm saving your ass here. Now I'll be late. Honestly, the things I do for-" He paused as a rush of wind flew by him, also known as his new roommate.
"Thank you! Sorry!" Kagome muttered quickly before disapearing into the shower.
Miroku had an expressionless face. "Hey, Kag?" He called as the water to the shower was turned on.
"What?" Kagome asked in a rushed voice.
"You might want some cloths."
"AH!" Kagome re-dressed in her baggy PJ's and searched for her uniform in the closet. "Where is it? Oh, no...I forgot to get my cloths washed!"
"Just wear the ones you wore yesterday," Inuyasha said, standing in the doorway.
"But...that's disgusting!" Kagome shivered at the thought.
"Do you have a choice?" Inuyasha spat.
Kagome smiled at Miroku.
Miroku sighed and tossed Kagome some of his. "They are going to be really baggy on you. Your small."
"I'll live!" Kagome smiled again and rushed back into the shower.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
It was 6th period pottery. It was Friday, and Kagome had grown very close to Jakotsu, despite Miroku's little prophesis.
Jakotsu was putting on another coating of red lipstick, humming again. Kagome got the feeling Jakotsu was one of those people who sang in the shower. Miroku sung in the shower, too. And, to put it kindly, he sucked.
"...and so, he asked me why I wore lipstick. How dull can you get?" Jakotsu laughed. "Isn't it ovbious? I look good in red, ovbiously."
Kagome smiled and nodded, trying to form a perfect hole in her clay pot. Jakotsu walked, talked and acted like a girl. It was like Kagome's last connection to females.
"Soooooo," Jakotsu drawled, spinning circles on his other hand. "Do you wanna go with me somewhere this weekend?"
Kagome paused. She was planning on calling Sango. She was supposed to have called Sango Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, but she got side tracked. "What day?"
Jakotsu smiled. "You mean you'll go with me? Yay! It doesn't matter what day. Whatever you want, Hun!"
Kagome was used to Jakotsu's little nickname for her. He used it with everyone in the class. "How about Saterday? I'm having a friend visit. We can all go out together."
Jakotsu blinked and looked slightly deflated for a moment before smiling again. "Okay!"
"Sango is really nice," Kagome said. Sango wasn't exactly nice to boys, but Jakotsu was different. "You'll love her."
"A girl?" Jakotsu blinked and grinned. "Girls are so much fun!" He clapped childishly and continued forming his clay pot.
The teacher walked by. "Ah, lovely, Jakotsu. I can see your spiritspinning into your pot!"
Jakotsu smiled. "Thank you!"
"Kag, I must say that your quick improvement has showed me where your heart lies," The teacher pat her shoulder and continued on his way.
Kagome now wondered if she had joined a class or a cult. Many of the people in her class were...less than dull. There were ten of them in the class...and it seemed only she and Jakotsu were normal. Wow, that was hypocritical. Jakotsu was a perky gay with no radar, and Kagome was a crossdressing girl.
Kagome was horrified to say that she belonged in that class with the nose picker, alien finder, and anime geeks (ha!), among others.
"I think I'm going to be sick."
"Oh, no," Jakotsu gasped. "Professer, I think Kagome has inhaled too much of the clay fumes again!"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"What are you doing now?" Miroku asked, just coming out of the shower. It had taken Kagome three days to be comfortable watching him walk out, even if he was fully clothed, she was jumpy.
"I'm calling my friend from my old school," Kagome said, dialing the number and then the extention for their dorm. No one answered and she frowned.
"Interesting," Miroku said monotonously. "What's his name?"
"Sango. And he is a she."
"A girl?" Now, Miroku's voice had levels. "Is she your girlfriend? Lovely name."
"No!" kagome said, with a dusgusted look as she dialed Sango's cell number. "That's disgusting! I mean, she's my best friend."
"Is she pretty?"
"Yes." Kagome waited as the phone rang once.
"Smart?"
"Very."
"Personality?"
"She's tough, but sweet. And protective."
"And you aren't with her? What's the matter with you?" Miroku slapped his forehead.
Kagome ignored him as Sango's voice answered the phone. "Hi, Sango-chan!"
"Sango-chan?" Miroku gawked.
"Is Rin-Chan there?"
"You get to call girls -Chan? I want to go to your school, man!"
"Shut up, Miroku!" Kagome snapped.
"Who is Miroku?" Sango asked.
"He's my roommate. Sorry I haven't called-"
"You are dorming with a guy?" Sango's eyes bulged out of her head as Rin begged her to tell Kagome hello for her.
"Shhh. And yes. He's really nice, but he's a pervert."
Miroku took it that she was talking about him. "Don't tell her THAT!" He wrestled the phone from her.
"No! Give that back!" Kag tried and failed to steal it back.
"Is this Sango?" Miroku asked charmingly. "It is? I'm Miroku...No, I am not a pervert! Your friend Kag, who is a good, good friend of mine...yes, we are very close. Maybe we should all get together and meet. Any friend of Kag's is a friend of mi-"
Miroku was cut off as Kagome took the phone right out of his hand. "I am so sorry, Sango! He just took the phone from me." Sango and Kagome chatted for a few minutes as Miroku mumbled angrily and tapped his foot, waiting for Kagome to get off the phone. "
Bey, Sango-chan! I'll call you tomorrow, I promise! And don't forget to come with us to the mall tomorrow. Okay, bye!"
"Wait, you are going to the mall together?" Miroku got down on his knees. "Let me come!"
Kagome made a nervous face. "No! You can't!"
"Why not? I promise I'll be good!" He looked just like a puppy. Kagome was starting actually feel bad.
"I..." Bingo. She had an idea. "Alright, but Jakotsu is coming with us. He arranged going to the mall in the first place."
Something of a choked sob or gasp came out of Miroku's mouth and his face drooped. "But...but...but...wait a minute. Didn't I tell you-"
"I never agreed," kagome sad with a smile.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
It was Saturday, and Kagome was in the bathroom, putting the vest that held her breasts in on. She put a white t-shirt over it and wore blue jeans. Satisfied with herself, she came out of the bathroom and said goodbye to Miroku. Miroku was pouting slightly, but waved and continued putting his shoes on. He and Inuyasha were going out somewhere.
Miroku inwardly smirked as Kagome left. He put on black sahdes, and went to find Inuyasha.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Kag-Chan!" Sango cried out as Kagome entered the mall. Sango had been sitting on a bench, bur she jumped up to hug her friend. "Who is that?" She looked closely at the young man she was with. He was tall and...wearing lipstick?
"This is Jakotsu, my friend," Kagome said.
Sango figured it out when Jakotsu waved. "Nice to meet you," she said and smiled warmly.
Kagome, Jakotsu, and Sango all walked off, chatting happily. Meanwhile, Miroku dragged Inuyasha inside. He took off his glasses and ran a hand through his hair. "Sango is indeed beautiful," he stated slyly, watching her buttox sway back and forth as she walked.
Inuyasha was looking rather pale. "You didn't tell me that fucking bastard would be here!"
Miroku was ovbiously not paying attention as he said ina dreamy state, "ah, must have...slipped my...mind."
"Oh, snap out of it."
"I don't know how Kag does it. Look at her! She's holding onto his arm. He better not have been lying to me." Miroku rambled on and on as he Inuyasha paraded through thr mall, always some steps behind. When all three sat down for lunch (and Jakotsu went to the bathroom), the two boys walked by. Inuyasah had a bored look on his face, and Miroku looked completely innocent.
Kagome noticed long black hair and saw Inuyasha and Miroku. She couldn't help but notice good in the red button-up shirt. Miroku wasn't looking too bad, either. "Miroku?"
Miroku played his part perfectly. He turned at the sound of his name, completely straight-faced. He blinked a few times when he saw her. "Kag? Is that you?"
Kagome bought it, of course. "Yes, its me. What are you doing here?"
Miroku slapped his foredhead. "I completely forgot you were going to the mall. What a coincidence!" He looked at Sango for 'the first time'. "Who is this lovely lady you have with you?"
"This is my friend, Sango," Kagome said and Sango waved a little meekly. Kagome had never seen Sango act meek before. Of course, she and Sango had never really...talked to guys much.
Miroku was instantly kneeling and took Sango's hand in his own. "My fair lady, would you do me the great honor of bearing my child?"
Inuyasha rolled his eyes as Kag and Sango's jaws both dropped. "Here we go again..."
Sango, now tainted red, moved her mouth like a fish.
"I swear, he's never done that before," Kagome said, pointing at their locked hands.
The left side of Sango's mouth twitched and she balled her other hand into a fist.
Miroku smiled charmingly.
Sango slapped him across the face with a "HENTAI!" and a crack was heard as he fell onto his derirrere.
"Nice one, Sango-Chan!" Kagome praised, giving her a thumbs up.
Inuyasha knelt by his perverted friend. "Baka."
"Oh, and this is Inuyasha, my other friend," Kagome said, making a gesture over to Inuyasha.
The recovering Sango nodded in greeting. Inuyasha snorted.
"As you can see, he isn't very friendly," Kagome added as Miroku sat up, rubbing the pink handprint on his face.
"Inuyasha?" A chirpy little voice from behind the long-haired boy asked.
Inuyasha slowly turned around, his neck creaking. "YOU! I have the restraining order in my pocket!"
Kagome leaned torward Miroku. "He keeps it with him?" Miroku shrugged.
"I'm here with them," Jakotsu said angrily. "Of course, your wlecome to join-"
"Over my dead, lifeless, twitching body!" Inuyasha snarled.
"If you were dead then you wouldn't-" Kagome began, but Inuyasha had already grabbed Miroku's collar and was dragging off the choking boy.
"See you at the dorms..." Miroku gagged. "Kag! And, unil we meet again, Sango!" And they were gone.
"How rude," Jakotsu stated primly.
"I don't like that one friend of yours-Miroku!" Sango, still fashioning a bit of pink on her cheeks, snapped.
Kagome sighed. "They are really nice, once you get to know them. I'm sure even Inuyasha is."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Kagome and Jakotsu were walking home after waving good-bye to Sango.
"I'm glad I came, I had fun," Jakotsu said, smiling.
"Me, too!" Kagome said. "We should do that again!"
"Maybe...we can just go together."
Kagome blinked. "I guess, sure."
Jakotsu sighed and rubbed his temples. "This is hard when your so oblivious, Kag."
"What's hard?" Kagome asked, blinking innocently.
Jakotsu, now exsapserated, said, "I really like you, okay?"
There was along, ackward pause.
A little longer.
There we go!
"You..." Kagome paled.
Jakotsu nodded, looking a little worried.
"No," Kagome flatly stated. "You can't. Trust me, you don't like me."
"Yes, I do!" Jakotsu said, now a little hurt.
"But...you can't!"
"Why not!"
Thoughts kept running through Kagome's mind. He kept staring at her, expecting an explanation. She didn't have one to give. She couldn't...
"I'M A GIRL, DAMN IT!"
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
