Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.
Author's Note: I come with a new chapter and CYBER GIFTS! Yay! I am doing reviewer responses, and you all get measly cyber gifts. Hahah, I try.
REVEIWER RESPONSES:
Jesusgirl883: Hahahah, it doesn't freak me out at all. If you've ever read Fruits Basket...don't read the fanfiction. Well, there are a few good ones, but so many have Yuki/Kyou relationships...arg. I think I've read them all. It's very painful. Is the movie you speak of Sorority Boys? I'm not sure how long this story will be. I'm kind of winging it right now. Heh heh. It should be pretty long, though. Over twenty chapters, I'm sure. -Gives a barrel of radioactive lemons-
Suaru:
Glad I could make you laugh! Arigatou ne for the constant
reveiws! It means so much.
-Bows-
-Gives
pocky-
Midnightsnow57: I've never actually seen Immortal Rain. I'm cosplaying as Freya from Chobits, where she is sitting on the moon. And there are so many different Freya's in anime! It's a cool name. -Gives a red rose in a hand painted Inuyasha vase-
KatanafoX:
I hope you didn't keel over from the wait. -Pokes- Uh-oh...
-Gives
life support-
blndmnd1: Aw, thanks so much. I've always admired those authors that can make me laugh (I rarely laugh at things too) and its such a compliment to know I am one of them to at least a few people. -Gives a giant cookie-
Inuyashafanaticlmv: Thank you! Everyone is making me feel so happy today! I feel all warm and fuzzy inside...of course, that could be from the heat. It's killing me. I hope you aren't dying from it wherever you are. -Gives a red portable fan with an Inuyasha sticker on the back-

Kagome M.K: Okay! Hee hee! I did update. Seeee? (((Grin))) -Gives Issue 1 of Shoujo Beat Magazine-
Inu Girl Demon: Sword people? LOL. That made me laugh. Sorry to burst your wonderful soapy bubble, but I plan on making this story long. -Gives a box of Evil with instruction manual and safety guide-
TokyoPrincess: Ah, sorry. I'm not very good at those. I'll give it a try sometime, and it shall be humorous, believe me. Doing a serious Sess/Kag fic would make me implode. Yes...I do feel rather evil after making Miroku get hurt. Aw well. -Gives a Sess plushie hugging a Kag plushie-
Lil mutt face grl: Nope! Not him! Good guess though! Actually one of the reveiwers did guess it. Who is it? We'll find out! But, as I am writing this, the chapter is not completed, so I dunno if you'll find out yet. Eheh. -Gives a digital camera and a Kagome with her arrow plushie-
Inuyashas-trufan:

Neya: Ah, yes...Inuyasha and his violent tendancies. I am purposely delaying them finding out. You'll see why in the author's note at the end. Much thank yous for the reveiw, and as for the photograph...well...eh...-Gives a shiny wand and new Inuyasha episodes to distract-
angela: Everyone will find out eventually, honest. And, your idea is one of the final three I was thinking of using since I started the story. Great minds think alike...hahah. -Gives two tubs of cool whip and a Pinky Street figurine.-

Chapter 8- The Picture
Miroku looked up as the boy walked in. Oh, dear...it was him. Well, that was Miroku's calm, mental, understatement talking. It was more like "Holy, shit".
Inuyasha and Kagome both looked up as well, the anger still apparent on their faces. "WHA-...oh."
The camera slowly, as if slow motion on a horror film, made its way to the boy's eye. Why was everyone just staring? Move Inuyasha! Inuyasha tried to will himself, but the whole thing was just so surreal. The asshole on top of him should move! Wait... On top...of Hi... Oh fuck.
The camera snapped and a flash was heard. That brought everyone out of the daze. The school photographer made his quick escape while everyone was blinded. He turned and ran from the room, shutting the door behind him swiftly.
There was a long silence. Yes, very long indeed. Kagome re-gathered her thoughts and slowly rolled off the stunned Inuyasha. At last, the great silence was ended.
"KAAAAAG!" Inuyasha roared.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Kagome chant continued as Inuyasha raged.
"What kind of fucking moron jumps somebody and then just stares when a camera is pointed at them?" Inuyasha snapped.
"I'm sorry, I'm sor- Wait, excuse me? YOU just stared, too!"
"You were on me!"
"Aw, tough Inuyasha couldn't move his wittle self?"
Miroku sweat dropped as the two began a heated battle of whom was at fault.
"Shut up!"
"Make me!" And Kagome screamed as Inuyasha aimed for her throat. "Murderer! Help! He's trying to kill me!" Kagome crawled away.
"Everyone's' going to think we're gay lovers and that I'M the submissive one!" Inuyasha knew better than to pounce again. He sat on Miroku's bed indignity.
"Haha! I dominate you! And... Wait, everyone?"
"He's the school photographer, idiot."
"The school photo-...oh...well, crap."
Inuyasha's eyebrow twitched. "I'll never hear the end of this. This is going to follow me throughout the rest of high school and college."
"And me, you selfish prick!"
"Maybe he won't show the pictures. I'm sure you could buy them back with your money, Inuyasha," Miroku's recovering voice piped up. He now sounded only very old. Needless to say, his lady friends had been less frequent since the key incident.
"I'm not giving that asshole Naraku any of my money!" Inuyasha slammed his fit down the nightstand by the bed. "Besides, its not like I'm going ask my father for-"
"Na...ra...ku?" Kagome hesitantly said. "That's his name? ARG! It sounds evil! We're doomed! People with evil sounding names always end up being evil!"
Miroku raised an eyebrow.
Inuyasha stuck up his nose. "It would make sense, seeing as how Kag is a stupid name, and you yourself are an idiot."
Kagome threw a pillow. "Inuyasha, you have to buy back that picture! Please!" Kagome threw herself at Inuyasha and attached herself to his leg. "Please! It's bad enough I look like a girl!" What am I talking about? Why should I care? They're just a school of moronic guys.
"Get off me," Inuyasha wriggled from her grasp and sighed. "Its not like I want that picture all over school. Alright, let's go reason with him." Inuyasha stood up and shoved Miroku out of the room, slamming the door shut.
"HEY!" Miroku cried out as the door was slammed in his face. He knocked on his own dorm room. "Inuyasha? You can't just send me out. I'm not the one with my reputation at stake here!" He paused, and got no answer. His voice became softer. "Kag, open the door for your roommate!" Still no answer from the two 'boys' inside. "Kag...?"
"GO!" Inuyasha and Kagome raged and Miroku ran off. The photographer had come because of Miroku in the first place, afterall.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
In class, Kagome was paranoid. That's an understatement. She was sweating and having a mild seizure. No one knew yet, so that was good. Yes, everyone was just fine. Just fine. It was fine, fine, fine, fi-
"Kag-San, you broke your pencil," Houjo commented. Kagome jumped in her seat, the two halves of the abused pencil falling to the ground.
"O-Oh, oops," Kagome gulped. Stupid Houju...stupid Inuyasha...stupid Miroku...stupid Naraku and his even stupider camera...stupid school! Why was she at a boy's school anyway? She wasn't gay, and having a picture of her on top of a cute, popular guy like Inuyasha usually would have made her smirk at all the jealous glances from her hated enemies.
Okay, Kagome, it's time to stop your creepy thoughts before they lead you straight for a gender-revealing train wreck. She was still a girl, so it was okay to find Inuyasha attractive. It wasn't as if she liked him for his personality, or liked him at ALL for that matter! She certainly did not! Hah! It was almost comical to think about something as stupid as that. Her thoughts were filled with nervous laughter as she pushed the disturbing thought of actually liking Inuyasha out of her head.
Houjo picked up the pieces and put them back on Kagome's desk. "Here." He then put tape on her desk. "You can fix it with this."
Kagome looked down at the two halves and the tape. Her brows furrowed. Houjo actually had a brain? "Oh...thank you, Houjo." Oh, just fabulous! Now she felt bad for being rude to Houjo! Even if he had stalked her...but that wasn't the point! It wasn't like it was murderous stalking. It was even sort of...cute...even if that's an oxymoron. If she had let go of being so stubborn, she might have seen that! He did have a cute smile. Yes, Houjo was defiantly a good guy to fall for! Not Inuyasha!
It was settled. After this year was over, she was going to go back to her all girls' school. Houjo was stalker-ish enough to wait...right? She couldn't expect that. I'm not anything special. He'll find someone better than me, and prettier than me to follow around. I'm a moron. But, I'll find someone who likes me for the average, cross-dressing girl that I am! Those last few words brought on a flood cry.
"Excuse me, Kag-San?" Houjo tapped her shoulder. Their math teacher was droning on monotonously, not even noticing that over half the class was talking and throwing things. Weren't Japanese schools supposed to have more behaved students!
"Ne?" Kagome cocked her head to the side.
"Your name is Higurashi, right?"
"Hai."
"Are you of any relation to Higurashi Kagome?"
Kagome's mouth fell open. He was asking about her? WHY! He still hadn't moved on? Just remember, Kagome, it's cute, not creepy. Cute, cute, cute...
If it were cute, you wouldn't have to try and convince yourself.
Oh, shut up!
"Ah...she'smysister!" Kagome rushed out. Damn it, that conflicted with what she told Inuyasha and Miroku.
"Really? She is?" Holy crap is eyes were sparkling.
"Um, yes. Yes. She's my twin sister." Keep the lies coming, girl, just keep 'em coming...
"I thought you looked like her. You have the same eyes...even the same face." Houjo now stared at her intently and she covered her face. Luckily, the bell rang and she quickly left.
Okay...she didn't exactly like Houjo. At all. But...he was wonderfully distracting. He was nice.
Like she gave a crap about him being nice...
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Miroku, Inuyasha, and Shippou were already eating rather solemnly when Kagome arrived and sat. Well, Shippou was currently laughing hysterically and Inuyasha's predicament.
"Oh, be quiet, Shippou," Kagome finally snapped. He was laughing at her, too!
"Sorry, Kag," Shippou wiped his eyes. "It's just so funny!"
Shippou was still adorable, so Kagome quickly smiled. "It's okay, Shippou. If it had happened to you, I would laugh even harder than you."
There was venom hidden in that, Shippou was sure of it. He swallowed began eating quietly. Inuyasha glared at him. "You shut up when he tells you to..." Shippou stuck out his tongue.
"At least Kag doesn't pound me!"
"It's not my fault you're a weak little kid."
"Hey! I'm strong enough to-"
"HOW WAS MATH, KAG!" Miroku practically screamed (although it sounded like a 50 foot cat trying to rid his throat of a hairball) and the two feuding boys silenced, but continued their glares.
"It was stressful," Kagome rolled her eyes. "I was waiting for the class to start laughing at me. I think I had a nightmare last night about it."
"Geeze...you are paranoid," Inuyasha mumbled. "I'll just kick his ass and make him shut up."
"Inuyasha, some things can be solved without violence, despite your belief," Miroku said calmly.
"Keh."
Kagome rolled her eyes at another food fight started. Last week there had been three. Inuyasha ducked as a pot sticker flew his way. He continued eating calmly. There had never been food fights at her girls' school. A girl had gotten food dumped on her once or twice by some other bitch, but no full-blown fights. Kagome found these fights amusing.

Ending Note:Okay, nearly everyone has been asking for the unveiling of Kagome's true sex. Be patient! It will happen, honest. Just trust me on this. Thank you for the suggestions. I'm very happy that you took time to actually think to review and give me your thoughts. I'm very grateful, but I will not have others find out Kagome's true sex for a while. Well, there is someone else I was thinking of letting find out soon, but Inuyasha and Miroku will not. Give it time.
Did anyone go to Anime Expo in Anaheim July 4th weekend? If you live in the U.S., Happy belated Fourth Of July!
Please review! Thank you! (Hah, I rhymed!)
