Author's Note: Welcome to chapter seven everyone! THE PAIRINGS FOR THIS FANFIC ARE: Inuyasha/Kagome and some other pairings. But, yes, Kagome will end up with Inuyasha. There will be some issues (jealously of other characters and blah, blah, blah), but the pairing overall is and shall always be Kagome/Inuyasha. I do like the Sess/Kag stories as well, but...not for this one. I can never seem to write those quite right. Maybe for another story. THANK YOU for the reviews! You are all so encouraging! I'll start to get some responses to all you simply fabulous people next chapter. I will try not to be lazy! -An anthem plays in the background and author takes on a salute and peace sign- I'll do my best! Fwah!

Chapter
7- The Keys
No. Way. In. Hell.
"MIROKU! YOU MORON!" Inuyasha raged, making half of the dancers stop and stare at him.
Miroku began gagging. "Ow..." and he coughed and coughed, his face going redder than an embarrassed schoolgirl's after talking to an upper classmen.
Kagome ran up to the two boys, Sango and Rin following close behind. "What happened? Miroku? Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha, red with anger, pointed at the choking boy and snapped, "He swallowed the keys we need to get home!"
Sango, eyes wide, asked, "Are...are you...Are you serious? What kind of moron-"
"We need to get him to a hospital, now!" Kagome urged.
"How do you suppose we do that with the keys down his lecherous throat?" Inuyasha retaliated.
Sango cracked her knuckles and said in a deep voice, unfamiliar to the two boys, "I'll get it out."
Kagome and Rin instinctively took a step back.
Miroku's eyes widened more and he tried to shake his head while gagging. "N-N-N-"
"What's she gonna do?" Inuyasha's bored voice said over Miroku's gags.
"She's gonna beat it out of him. Very effective," Kagome said sweatdropping. "B-But, Sango, maybe we should just tell a teacher. You might hurt hi-" She winced as Sango's fist came into contact with Miroku's gut. He retched, and the keys came flying out. Kagome caught them...covered in blood and saliva. "EEWWWW! GROSS! GROSS! GROSS! Inuuuyaaashaaa, take them!" She threw them at him.
"What the Hell?" he moved out of the way and they skidded on the ground.
Miroku coughed up some blood, leaving the one 'concerned' crossdresser, one confused, yet horrified Rin, the 'couldn't-care-less-he-just-wants-the-damn-keys' Inuyasha, and the energized Sango to stare until he finished making a nice little mess on the dance floor. Wasn't it this type of things chaperones were for?
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Miroku's throat was sore, even two hours after the dance. He sounded like a dying, old man who had recently been in a fire and came out of it with damaged lungs.
Sango (Rin was tired and decided to go back to the dorms) lay on Kagome's bed. Kagome and Inuyasha sat on the floor shaking their heads at Miroku.
Miroku, with his scratchy voice, said, "Stop staring at me-" He coughed.
Kagome thought for a moment, her stormy eyes staring at the ceiling, as if a post-it was taped to it. "Don't you have a speech coming up? You are Student Body President, right?"
Miroku cursed...dryly.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "So, let the vice prez do something. He doesn't do shit, Miroku."
Miroku tried to clear his throat and winced. "I know, but...he has stage fright."
Inuyasha dead panned him. "And Bankotsu got elected how?"
Miroku shrugged. "Beats me."
Rap. Rap. Rap.
"Come in!" And that was when Miroku's voice died at last, for the 'in' sounded like a sick cat.
"Come in!" Sango said, since Miroku was currently flood crying.
"Kag-Kun!" Jakotsu said, arms open wide. "How are-"
The room went silent.
Jakotsu brushed some hair from his face. "Oh, Inuyasha, hey, how are you?"
Inuyasha's left eye twitched.
Kagome quickly stood and ushered Jakotsu out, shutting the door before Inuyasha took the restraining order and shoved it down the poor gay man's throat. "Jakotsu, why are you here? You know Inuyasha doesn't...uh...approve of you being here."
Jakotsu folded his arms, huffing. "Well, I didn't see you at the dance, so I came here. Besides, you're exaggerating. Inuyasha just has to get used to me. Once he feels comfortable around me, I can move in for the kill!"
Somehow, an image of Jakotsu laughing hysterically, knife in hand, standing over a tied-up Inuyasha entered Kagome's mind. It was quite unpleasant. "I don't think that's going to happen-"
"Aha! I knew it!" Jakotsu pointed his finger at her, mere millimeters from her nose. "You want him all for yourself! That's why you keep me away from him!"
"Wha? No! He's just my friend. I'm straight. A straight boy. I don't like him. And keep it down, they might here you."
Jakotsu wrinkled his nose. "I know, I know, you're a 'boy'." He made air quotes. "But, I don't believe you. You're blushing."
"W-Well, that was really random...and I was just starting to feel like a guy, too."
"Ooh, are you gonna become a lesbian? That would make life easier. That way we won't go for the same guys-"
"NO!" Kagome, now fed up with her gay sex-crazed, gaydar-deprived guy friend, stomped back into her dorm, slamming the door shut in his face.
She was just in time to see Sango walk toward her. Miroku feigned a yawn, stretching his arm in a very oddly twisted way to reach her derriere. He squeezed, and his painful mood seemed to brighten. Sango, however, did not appreciate feeling that joy on her rear.
"HENTAI BAKA!" With one slap, Miroku was on the floor, sighing dreamily/scratchily to him.
"Best one all night," He cooed to himself.
"Arg! Kagome, I'm leaving! I can't take this pervert anymore!" There was a pause. "Shit."
Miroku and Inuyasha both looked up at the same time. "Kagome?"
Kagome sweat dropped. "Ah...well...Sango how could you!" She quickly hid her face in her hands, motioning with one discreet finger to come over to her. Sango obeyed and Kagome whispered, "Play along." She looked back up and stared at her best friend. "Now they know my secret! That I...I...have a girl's name!"
Inuyasha cackled. Miroku sounded like an amused sick chalkboard. Kagome, although perfectly satisfied with her name, was now having doubts. Inuyasha spoke in between laughs. "So...haha...that's why you have that lame nickname!"
"And...bwahaha...that's why you got so pissed when I asked your real name! This is blackmail material!" Miroku wiped tears from the corners of his eyes. Kagome titled her head down to hide her blush.
"Sango..." She whispered. "Leave...now. Or die."
Sango nodded. "I, uh, gotta go. I'm really sorry, Kago- Kag! Kag! I'm so sorry." She quickly retreated.
Kagome let out a long sigh. "You can stop laughing now!" They continued, but Miroku started hacking and Inuyasha made sick face. Miroku crawled to the bathroom to hack into the sink.
Inuyasha looked back at Kagome and laughed again. Damn she was pissed. Still...she had never seen him laugh before. He had laughed at others' expense...and this was at her expense...but it wasn't a mean laugh. It was laugh that showed something was funny...he had humor?
"I like when you laugh," Kagome said, not thinking about what she was saying. That made him stop.
"...Um...yeah, I'm going to go now." He stood and walked out, arching an eyebrow at her as he left.
SHIT! Now she freaked him out! He was going to get a restraining order and she was going to be left with The Hacker and The Gayman.
Phooey.

"Kagome! Kagome! Lemme talk to my brother!" I heard Souta laugh over the phone. Mom shushed him.
"Hi, honey! How are you?" Mom asked me eagerly.
"Okaa-San! I'm good," Kagome said, a smile on her face.
Her mother smiled, waving the little boy off. "I can hear it in your voice."
Miroku tried to ask whom she was talking to, and if it was Sango. Kagome grinned wider, waving the little pervert off. "Yeah, school is going well...No, no, I'm doing really good in history his year! Our teacher is a bore...But, he is!...My roommate? His name is Miroku." Miroku perked at hearing his name. Kagome mouthed, "My mother".
"How old is she?" He rasped. The dance had been last night, but Miroku's voice had only worsened.
Kagome narrowed her eyes and glared at him. "Don't even think about it you sick- Oh, no, Okaa-san! He's perfectly nice!" Kagome couldn't tell her mother he was a pervert, for she would have to switch dorm rooms for sure. Even if he was a pervert, Kagome still liked him as a friend, and he thought she was a boy. Miroku grinned at Kagome's compliment. She stuck her tongue out at him. "No, no, no...really, the food is much better here. Who knew, eh?"
"You sound just a boy, my little Kag," Ms. Higurashi sniffed.
"Mo-om!"
"I'm sorry, honey, it's just... She dabbed her eyes. "I feel like I've lost my little girl, and gained a boy...who's...who's..." She burst into tears. "All grown up!"
Kagome rolled her eyes. "Okay, okay, I have to go. Miroku needs to use the phone." Miroku, sadly, could not protest this.
"Okay, sweetheart, but, Kagome there's one thing I'm worried about."
"What?"
"You don't...like any of these boys, do you?"
"Okaa!" Kagome blushed and Miroku snickered. Inuyasha let himself in around that time and sat next to Miroku.
"Gomen, but, I have to know. We could get into a lot of trouble if the school finds out you're a girl. So, onegai, Kagome, onegai...don't let your hormones take over. For both our sakes."
"H-Hai."
"Good girl. Well, boy. Uh, child!"
"Sayonara!" Kagome hung up, rubbing the blush from her cheeks.
"What'd she say?" Miroku asked and coughed.
"Nothing."
"She said something embarrassing, we all already know that. What was it? It can't possibly be worse than you little secret, Kagome." Inuyasha laughed. It was that mean laugh again.
She threw the phone at him. On television, the person usually blocked it, laughed, and it cut to an instant noodles commercial. But, Inuyasha was out of it with laughter, and Kagome's fabulistic aim made the phone fall directly on his head.
"OW! YOU ASS!"
Instant noodles weren't going to save her now.
"GOMEN NE!" Kagome screamed and rolled over head bed, diving behind it, just as Inuyasha threw it back. The tip of it hit the wall and stayed there. It was indented into the freaking wall.
"Y-You almost decapitated me!" Kagome cried out, and poked the phone.
"Oops," the monotone voice replied.
Miroku looked pale. "I hope we don't have to pay for that."
Kagome, after much strenuous pulling, was able to release the phone from its chalky grave by the side of her bed. She looked back and locked eyes with Inuyasha. His glowing golden orbs sure as Hell weren't going to fascinate and distract her this time. Oh no, she was going get revenge. With a small cry, she leapt on him. "You jerk! I could've gotten by head chopped off!"
It was during the screaming and yelling that the school photographer knocked on the door. He winced as he heard the cussing and allowed himself in, hoping it wasn't Miroku, the very person he had come to see, creating the noise. He came upon a very disturbing sight to a young, straight boy going through puberty. Some young, feminine-looking boy was straddling that asshole Inuyasha. He held the boy's arms away from him and they were both breathing at an incredable rate, having a very deadly staring contest. It looked...very wrong.
At least the screaming had stopped...
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Notice the 11th word in the last paragraph. Heh heh. Who is the photographer? We don't know yet! And we won't know...until next chapter. Maybe.
I am going to ANIME EXPO! Yay! It's in Anaheim. I'll be cosplaying as Freya on Sunday, the night of the masquerade. Is anyone going? If so, we both rock! My badge will say Miko Baka...of course. I hope everyone gets to go to a convention sometime in his or her life. It is a slice of Heaven Pie, my dears.
Anyhoo, AX will probably lengthen the update delay, but only by a week. So, let's say two weeks to be safe. I'm starting to get a plot going for this...I'm lying. It's more of short, random plots right now, until I get into-well, I won't spoil it.
Review or...I'll flood cry next chapter. I will.
...Miko/ Motoko/Fred...
