Chapter 6: The gala festival, and Hojo's mistake.

It was Wednesday morning now and Kagome groaned as Inuyasha woke her up saying it was time for training. Kagome rolled over on her side and took the pillow and plastered it over her face.

"Hey Kazuki come on, a deal is a deal. Oi wake up I won't say it again" Inuyasha said as he zipped up his black cardigan.

Kagome sighed as she sat up slowly the covers falling from her still flat chest. "What time is?" Kagome asked groggily as she rubbed her face.

Inuyasha answered instantly "6:00, come on shorty you need to win the bet remember"

Kagome groaned a little and fell back on her bed "5 minutes" Kagome said stuffing her face in her pillow.

Inuyasha sighed and shook his head before walking over and taking of the covers fully "Come on shorty your last chance, you either get up now or I will just stop training you" Inuyasha said seriously.

Kagome groaned again and threw her pillow towards Inuyasha who dodged "I'm up, I'm up" Kagome yawned once and got out of the bed with her eyes still half closed as she stumbled to the bathroom. Kagome wanted to sleep so badly, she wanted to allow her body to relax and was really not excited about training, but she knew in order to become stronger and to make her school life here easier she needed to train and be able to manage at least the second half of gym class. So with that in mind, she scratched her head wanting so badly to take of her itchy wig and just run her hands through her own hair. She sighed and grabbed her toothbrush.

Inuyasha walked to the door frame "Hey Kazuki, make sure to have breakfast okay, we're going to train exactly as before"

Kagome nodded and washed out her mouth before going back to the room much more refreshed and realised that she had to sneakily change as fast as she could with Inuyasha sitting on the sofa and texting to whoever. Kagome took her grey shirt and walked back to the bathroom pretending to fetch something and in seconds she changed shirts and walked out. Inuyasha question why the hell Kazuki had to have so much privacy getting changed, they were guys it wasn't much of an issue. However Inuyasha just shrugged and went back to his phone.

Kagome kept him in the corner of her eye as she tried to quickly take off her trousers and as the shirt was long it managed to cover her enough, and quickly she put on a pair of black baggy sweats and rolled them up at the bottom. Inuyasha noticed this and raised an eyebrow "Those trouser to long for you shorty?"

Kagome looked up and sighed "I really hate it when you call me shorty, yeah I can't have medium clothes so I get small"

Inuyasha was amazed "I have never met any guy that get's any size but medium, you know for the muscles and things. You're the first Kazuki."

Kagome nodded and tied her trainers, then she put on a black cardigan and zipped it up all the way, she had run her fingers through her wig to comb it out neatly and once that was done, she saw Inuyasha grab a duffel bag and saw that he was wearing grey sweats with a red T-shirt and a black cardigan, his hair up in a high and neat ponytail. "You ready" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome nodded and as soon as both students walked out of the dorms Kagome instantly stuffed her hands in her pockets and her teeth started chattering slightly. "God it's cold"

Inuyasha chuckled as he dumped the bag on the ground and unzipped it "No, it's just that cold every morning, it will get warmer later during the day. No unfortunately for you gym is our first lesson today so I wouldn't be surprised if your legs and body will burn today, but I'll try not to go too hard on you okay"

Kagome shrugged "Do whatever needs to be done coach"

Inuyasha gave a small smile at the name coach, and took out two red cones. He then ran to one side of the field and placed a cone there, whilst successfully putting another cone right opposite it about a mile away. He then ran back to her in a millisecond "Now start beating your 9 second score shorty"

Kagome just rolled her eyes before nodding and jogged to the first cone stretching her legs and arms first. Finally once she hear Inuyasha say the word "GO!" she ran with all her might to the first cone then back and repeated this three more times. Each time getting either one second less or one second more. Kagome tried running again to other side and groaned as she already felt her tendencies in her legs and arms ache from doing much rough exercise so early in the morning not to mention the cold was getting to her.

Inuyasha checked his time watch, and then ordered Kazuki to go into the gym so he could do some push-up's and sit-up's. Kagome groaned again as she heard Inuyasha's command "Come on shorty, oh and carry the bag will you it shouldn't weigh much so don't worry."

Kagome sighed as she tried to take the duffel bag to the gym however her hands were too weak and the bag was so god damned heavy 'Heh light my ass!' she could hardly carry it! "What...is...in this...thing" Kagome said taking deep breaths within each break.

Inuyasha shrugged "A few cones, balls, bats, weights"

"Weights! No wonder it feels so heavy. God my fingers!" Kagome said throwing the bag in front of her as she started to kick it with her feet. Although not ideal but the bag was moving forward and she was doing what she was ordered to.

Inuyasha saw this and walked over to him bonking him on the head. Kagome 'owed' and held her head. Inuyasha shook his head "I asked you to carry the bag for a reason shorty, you need to work out your arm muscles too, now stop slacking and grab the bag" Inuyasha said as he put his hands behind his head and walked forward.

Kagome groaned as she cursed under her breath "Stupid, inconsiderate, pompous jerk" however she then felt another bonk on the head.

Inuyasha smirked as he spoke "Watch it shorty"

Kagome rolled her eyes and jabbed him in his side "You watch it" Kagome smiled and then with much slow walking and swapping hands they were finally in the gym. Kagome dropped the bag and breathed a sigh of relief. "How the hell do you carry that every day"

Inuyasha chuckled "Because I'm taller than you shorty" he then walked over to the stairs of the bleachers as he pointed to them "Now run up them just like last time, however do 30 laps instead of 20 this time"

Kagome nodded and sighed before preparing her arms "GO!" Inuyasha started the time watch and saw Kazuki zoom up the stairs. He saw him d this 10 times and saw how he never slipped up once since he started. For some reason he couldn't help but stare at him, the way his hair moved as he ran, his arms and legs moved in sync, the determination that was in his eyes shinning brightly piercing his own. Inuyasha blinked, in a strange way he felt some odd friendship between him and his room-mate. Kazuki was growing on him, and he knew that for some reason he was fond of the little guy he only met for two days. He shook his head as he lost count of how many laps Kazuki had done, so he shook his head a little and turned of the stop watch. "Okay Kazuki you can stop now!"

Kagome heard him and as soon as he said those god sent words she fell flat on her back onto the gym ground "Just...give me...one...second...please. Need...rest" Kagome panted out.

Inuyasha nodded and went to sit down next to Kazuki.

Kagome turned to him and then looked at the hoop on one side of the gym, then she spotted the basket balls to one side "Hey Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha nodded as he turned to her "Yeah?"

Kagome sat up and pointed to the basketballs "Can you...maybe show me how to play?"

Inuyasha's eyes widened for a moment "What?"

Kagome smirked and punched his shoulder playfully "Play? You know, throwing the ball into the hoop and the rest of it. I've seen you play in gym, and I...really want to try it out at least once."

Inuyasha kept staring into his eyes. For some reason hearing the words leave Kazuki's mouth made his chest and stomach feel warm just as his smile had the same effect on him. The honesty that spoke in his eyes of basketball made him want to smile. Inuyasha stood up and outstretched his hand. Kagome looked at his hand then at him. Inuyasha smirked "Well if your sure, this might be good for your reflexes, but only if you really want to learn"

Kagome nodded her head vigorously as she put her hand into his own, his grip was strong as he easily helped her stand up. Kagome smiled as she let go of his hand, already missing the warmth. "I really want too, it looks cool and I've only ever played once and...well I wasn't that good." Kagome laughed nervously as she scratched her head.

Inuyasha smirked as he ruffled Kazuki's hair. Kagome tucked her head in her shoulders a little at the touch, for some reason her cheeks felt like they were burning up and her heart was beating faster than usual. Much faster than it ever did with Koga. Yeah sure he might have ruffled her hair every now and then, but Inuyasha's touch made her feel warm and fuzzy. She then looked at his face and noticed his grin. Did her wanting to play basket-ball really make his this happy. Then she remembered what he said on Monday.

"All the girls I've dated have all been pansies, they didn't want to play for fear of breaking their nails. I tried to teach my ex but she didn't bother, she only pretended to like it because I did. So in my eyes I've only ever seen girls who are more interested in themselves than hobbies"

Kagome's eyes softened as she ran to the basket filled with basketballs. Once she grabbed one that felt hard enough she bounced it once on the ground before grabbing it and smiling up at Inuyasha throwing the ball to him.

Inuyasha grabbed the ball easily and looked at the ball then at Kazuki only to see him smile.

Kagome put her hands around her mouth "Come on throw it what you waiting for!" Kagome smiled as she started to run towards him.

Inuyasha smiled and bounced the ball once then twice and as soon as Kazuki was close to him he dodged and ran to the other side of the court meanwhile bouncing the ball along the way, he then jumped and slammed it into the basket.

Kagome clapped excitedly "That was awesome! How the hell did you do that!"

Inuyasha chuckled as he bounced the ball over and over "It isn't that easy of a trick shorty, just a lot of practice."

Kagome smiled "Can you teach me that?"

Inuyasha shook his head "It's not that simple, but I can teach you to aim it at the basket if you want"

Kagome nodded all the while smiling "Yeah, maybe we should start with that first" she was actually really excited for some odd reason. Many times has she seen Koga play, but never had he invited her to play along saying that she wouldn't be able to understand. However with Inuyasha, he would give up his free time to teach her, train her, or help not only her but whoever needed it. He was so selfless, and whenever he was happy, it made Kagome feel happy.

And right now was one of those moments. Where she could see that genuine smile and excitement light up in his eyes.

Inuyasha then walked over and grabbed Kazuki's arm gently , the ball in his other hand "Okay we'll start with a fairly close shot, so stand here" Inuyasha positioned him right in front of the basket a little away. Inuaysha then stood behind him and as he put the ball in Kazuki's hands, he felt bolts of electricity shot through his body as the close contact of his back on his chest. He was so short it was weird in a way, his height was the exact same to a girl's, his head almost nestled under his chin. He reached up to his shoulders, and his tiny body fit perfectly against him for some odd reason...he...liked it... What! Why was he thinking like that, he needed to focus.

Kagome herself was blushing like mad once she felt his body behind hers, his hands were on hers as he gave her the ball. She too felt electric bolts of energy escort themselves through her body without her permission, making her shiver a little. She never got this feeling when she was with Koga, never had she felt so...free, and so .

Inuaysha cleared his throat as he began speaking "Okay you see the hoop, now just measure the distance, don't throw to harshly but don't throw lightly. You need to control your breathing and don't fall victim to thinking that the higher you throw it, the better chances the ball gets into the hoop. It's not like that. The only way it will get in, is when you throw the ball, and the moment that you feel it leaving your grasp, all your passion and hope flies along with it, your belief that you can do it, is the key to winning. If you just close your eyes and believe that you will win, and know that deep down you already are a winner..." Inuyasha gently leaned over his shoulder as he covered his small hands with his own over the ball, and his eyes stared straight at the hoop, his cheek grazing Kazuki's. His tone down to a whisper "that is the key to success."

And with that last sentence Kagome felt Inuyasha's hands leave hers, and as she focused on the hoop, she closed her eyes slowly before taking one deep breath. She thought of her goal in life, of her goal at this very moment, the goal of proving to herself and to Koga that she was not a mere weak girl who couldn't fend for herself, her spirit to want to prove him wrong, her dream to want to succeed was strong, stronger than she ever could have imagined. She raised her hands with the ball and right when she opened her eyes she bent her knees and with a little jump she threw the ball, all her vigour injected in the simple rubber object. She opened her eyes and saw it swirl around the hoop, her eyes anxious, her hands fisting her teeth biting her bottom lip in worry. As the ball rolled once more around the hoop, it finally fell guilty to gravity pulling it to the right and into the net passing through the hoop, and falling to the ground with a couple of loud thuds, before rolling slowly to a gentle halt.

Kagome smiled happily as she jumped up and down "I...I did it...my..my very first goal. I did it! I actually did it!" Kagome turned to see Inuyasha smile happily with his hands in his pockets.

Kagome jumped around in happiness "I did it! I actually did it! woo hoo!"

Inuyasha chuckled as he saw how happy Kazuki was for his first goal ever. He reminded him of himself, when he was five and he made his first goal in the basket ball court that his father had kindly bought for him. With every attempt he did he always failed, he would get angry and give up most of the time. However until one day of watching basketball games on the TV and studying as much as he could, he went out into the court with the ball, and closed his eyes, picturing himself as one of those famous players. Dreaming of how one day he would become like that. And just with that desire alone he managed to score his first ever goal. His very first goal, and the soul key was that one rule.

Inuyasha then felt a pair of arms hug him and he came out of his dream state, and looked down to see raven hair. "Thank you so much Inuyasha! That felt amazing, I want to do it again!"

Inuyasha kept blinking as he saw Kazuki's face look up at him. His heart once again started to beat rapidly, and his body was feeling that same warmth that it had since he met him. Inuyasha cleared his throat causing Kazuki to let go of him. Inuyasha hesitantly raised his hand then gently he ruffled his hair.

Kagome once again lowered her head a little at the contact. Inuyasha must really like to mess up her hair. She internally giggled at that thought.

Inuyasha smirked a little "Well done shorty, seems you are good at something"

Kagome punched his arm as he faked an ow and then ruffled Kazuki's hair once again before he spoke "Come on shorty, lesson will start soon, that's enough training for now"

Kagome nodded and both her and Inuyasha walked back to the dorms to shower. Kagome had one first in order to have time to change secretly whilst Inuyasha was showering. She quickly took of her wig when he locked the door behind himself. Kagome's hair flowed down her back until it reached to her mid back. She ran her fingers through it gently massagin her poor scalp. She changed quickly into her school uniform and right when she finished zipping her cardigan, she heard the water turn off and quickly grabbed her hair and rolled it before stuffing it back into the wig.

Inuyasha walked out and saw Kazuki already changed. "Man you change so quickly its unbelievable."

Kagome shrugged "I don't know, I guess I'm so used it by now, that it's a habit"

Inuyasha nodded then received a message, he grabbed his phone and chuckled lightly. Kagome turned and asked him what was so funny. Inuyasha spoke "Koga's still pretty fucked up after what happened to him yesterday. He said his stomach is in so much pain that he couldn't get a decent sleep without going to the bathroom, let's just say he could have slept in the bathroom"

Kagome laughed loudly. Not only because of Koga suffering, but because her plan actually worked. "I'm sure he'll be fine soon, is he coming to gym then?"

Inuyasha nodded "Yeah, he said he doesn't want to miss any lessons. Especially since we have practice after school again"

Kagome nodded, and then saw Inuyasha take of his towel again. Kagome's eyes widened as she turned around rapidly so quickly that she hit her head with the wood of the top bunk bed. "Ouch shit"

She felt hands on her shoulders, and turned around to see Inuyasha's worry show on his face as he looked at her head "Are you okay?"

Kagome nodded dumbfounded as she felt his hand gently graze over where she hit her head. However as her eyes diverted somewhere else, it unfortunately went to the south and her eyes were slowly enlarging as her cheeks were getting darker and darker to the point she had to hold in a scream. He was...was...naked! Kagome quickly went under his arm and walked to the kitchen "Y-Yeah I'm f-fine, I just need some...I-Ice" Kagome ran to the kitchen rubbing her forehead and grabbed an ice packet from the freezer.

Inuyasha was confused but just shook it off and carried on chancing.

Kagome didn't dare turn around until she heard two zippers being done, the one on his jacket and the one on his fly. After hearing his footsteps she turned around and let out a breath as she saw him fully dressed. Inuyasha had grabbed his phone and was putting it in his pocket along with his wallet and set of keys. He then tied up his hair in a ponytail, before grabbing his duffel bag. "Come on Kazuki it's almost 9:00"

Kagome nodded and went to grab her own bag and phone. Soon they both got to gym, and high-fived Miroku.

"Hey Miroku how are you buddy" Inuyasha said doing that same weird handshake again.

Miroku smirked "I'm fine, but Koga came back to the dorm dead" Miroku pointed to his own room-mate who was sitting on the bleachers holding his stomach.

Kagome saw his expression, and snorted. 'That's how I looked you bastard when you dumped me. That is how you left me too' However she followed Inuyasha and both walked over to him.

Koga smelt his friend and his room-mate coming up and tried to stand up, however Inuyasha didn't let him. "No you need your rest man, what happened, you were fine yesterday" Inuyasha asked.

Koga shook his head "It got worse every hour, I practically slept in the bathroom at the rate I was going, man was my stomach in pain"

Kagome tried her best to not laugh in his face, so instead she just tapped his shoulder "I'm sure you'll be fine later on today"

Koga nodded and smiled up at his new friend. "Thank's man"

Inuyasha looked between both of them and wanted to pull Kazuki away from him. There he goes again! Inuyasha just changed the subject "So how's Ayame?"

Koga nodded his head "She's okay, she wanted to meet me this week-end"

Inuyasha nodded "Well hope it goes well man"

Miroku wiggled his eyebrows "And who knows, maybe it'll goo really extremely well and wolf boy will get lucky"

Kagome frowned, she never had sex with Koga because he was a little to front about it and it scared her how sometimes he would lose control so easily to the point he once almost forced her. She should have known that he was bad news sooner or later, but she was a naïve 14-year-old girl and Koga was her world. But not any more, he had officially left a permanent wound in her heart and she would make sure he had much more friends than just the bathroom.

"Okay all of you! We're going to start with our usual warm-ups. Now everyone outside in the field start running!"

Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku and Koga all walked out into the field, and as they all positioned themselves, Kagome turned to Inuyasha who was behind her and he smiled. Kagome smiled back and once the teacher shouted "GO!" the running started.

"Okay boys that's enough for now hit the showers!"

Kagome was panting horrible as she fell on her back, her chest and forehead sweating, not to mention the wig was making her scalp itch even more. Her arms were spread beside her and her breaths were coming in gasps.

Inuyasha walked over as Koga and Miroku were heading to the showers. "Hey shorty, you did much better than before! I'm proud of you, however you are still really behind on the muscle exercises like the sit-ups. We will definitely need to get you into the gym so you could work out those muscles."

Kagome smirked as she nodded "I guess...that means...that so far, I'm winning...the bet"

Inuyasha shook his head as he smirked back "Not yet, but you're getting there. However I think shorty is just too good of a name to take away from you"

Kagome smiled "Believe me when I say it's not"

Inuyasha shrugged "I believe what I believe, and that is that shorty suits you, unless your legs miraculously grow longer within the next few days and your just about the same height as me, then I'll consider it"

Kagome stuck her tongue out and rolled her eyes before walking ahead of him. Inuyasha smirked and ran up to Kazuki before ruffling his hair "Eh, you ready to hit the showers"

Kagome froze "U-Uh...I...oh well what do you know, I forgot to bring my shampoo...U-Um...I'll be back" before Inuaysha could stop her she ran quickly out of the gym and straight to the dorm building. As she ran in the corridor she looked back to see if he was following and suddenly bumped into someone. Kagome fell backwards on her butt and looked to see who she bumped into and when she did she was shocked to see it was Hojo.

Hojo looked at who he bumped into and blushed as he noticed who it was. It was the new guy he was crushing on. "O-Oh I-I'm sorry, please forgive me, I didn't mean too. Please don't hurt me" Hojo pleaded as he grabbed his books.

Kagome shook her head as she stood up "No it's fine, it's my fault for running and not looking where I was going"

Hojo shook his head "No I should have moved out of your way when I saw you r-running" Hojo fixed his glasses and kept fiddled with the hem of his shirt.

Kagome saw Hojo;s watch and checked the time. Shit she needed to shower and quickly. "Sorry Hojo I need to go, catch up with you later" And with that Kagome ran off at lightning speed to the dorms.

Hojo looked at his retreating form and blushed "I really like him" Hojo blushed as he walked away. "He...I've never been spoken so kindly before. Maybe...he might like me back?"

Once Kagome reached the dorms she quickly showered and threw her gym clothes on the bed as she changed into her uniform, she kept hopping on one leg trying to get a trouser leg in, and fell down on her front "Ouch" after much fumbling, hopping and injuries later, she was dressed and once she stuffed her hair in her wig she grabbed her duffel bag and quickly ran out to meet Inuyasha.

Inuyasha was once again fully dressed and checked his watch, along with Koga and Miroku waiting beside him "Isn't it strange that Kazuki always disappears when It's shower time?" Miroku asked.

Inuyasha shrugged "Don't know man, he said he was self-concious...so I'm guessing it's normal"

Koga frowned a little "I don't know, there's something familiar about him and I don't know what"

Miroku shrugged "Maybe whenever you went to pick up Kagome you had a glimpse of him every now and then, he did go to the same school as she did"

Koga looked at the ground and nodded "Yeah maybe"

Inuyasha checked his phone and started to play around until he heard his room-mate's voice "Hey sorry I'm late guys! Got caught up" Kagome said as she panted with her hands on her knees.

Inuyasha shook his head "It's cool man come on let's get to lesson"

Kagome nodded and everyone followed.

It was Friday, one day before the week-end started and school was almost over for the week, and Kagome could go home to visit her family. 'Thank god' She thought as both she and Inuyasha were heading to assembly. "Why do we have an assembly again?" Kagome asked her room-mate.

Inuyasha shrugged "We're guessing that it's for the gala festival"

Kagome's eyes scrunched in confusion "Gala festival? What is that?"

Miroku who was accompanying them answered "Basically for a joke, the school council had come up with the idea of a gala festival, since our school is for male's only, they made some hilarious festival where people can sign up or friends sign up as a group and the task is to dress up as a girl. Then the person who looks most like a girl wins some prize."

Kagome's eyes widened a little "Seriously, do guys actually sign up for that?"

Inuyasha nodded "Yeah it's very popular, it's for a joke to lighten up the mood, it usually happens at the beginning of the year and the people who are chosen are mainly newbies or the jokester of the school. It's a crazy idea, but it's entertaining to see a bunch of guys in dresses and wigs with very badly put on make-up. It's been going on for two years now"

Kagome 'ooohed' and as she entered the school hall she saw everybody there standing in lines. Kagome just kept following Inuyasha and everybody else until they all lined up in a random queue. Kagome looked around and once the hall was full, she looked behind her and saw Inuyasha with his hands in his pockets, his weight on one leg as he yawned in boredom. Inuyasha then smirked at her, and she blushed a little but smiled back before turning around to the front, she then tapped Koga's shoulder who was standing in front of her.

"So you signing up for the gala festival?"

Koga snorted "Nah I never do"

Kagome internally cursed 'Shit if he did I could have come up with something like glued his wig onto his head or something'

Kagome looked at the front and saw three boys from the school all standing there in front of a wooden stand with papers on a stage, and then she noticed Hojo who was up there and nervously kept pulling on his sleeves. The first guy then got near the microphone and started talking. "Okay as you all know it's the first week into the new year, and we called this assembly to talk about an upcoming event. My name is Tomoya, and I'm the head of the school council, along with Hojo and Daichi, and the rest of the comity. Now I'm sure most of you know about the upcoming festival eh"

Kagome looked around as she heard all the guys cheering and hooting.

The boy who was talking stretched out both his hands to quiet down the audience "Yes we know this is exciting for you all. As you all know the gala festival always starts in the beginning of the year and we have dated that it will be held next week on Wednesday, and it will be in the gym with the stage set up and the lights prepared along with all the small trinkets here and there, you can sign up on Monday and it is a maximum of 30 students, just for time management. For all the newbies this year, the gala festival is basically an event that we the council have created, and the rules are that any body who signs up has to dress up as a girl, with wigs, dresses and all the fancy...shit women wear" Kagome heard most boys chuckle, then Tomoya started talking again "and the person who get's the most cheers and applause wins the festival and the grand prize, however you will not know what the prize is until you win. Now it's the week-end so all of you take your time to think about who you want to enter, and names come up on Tuesday after Monday's sign up's. Thank you"

Kagome felt a tickling breath hit her ear lobe, and noticed it was Inuyasha. "I think you'd be perfect for that competition"

Kagome swallowed hard as her eyes widened "N-No, feh who would want to d-dress u-up as a girl, certainly n-not me"

Inuyasha just shrugged "We'll see"

Kagome and the rest of the assembly clapped as the teacher walked up on the stage, he cleared his voice before speaking "Hello to all of you and welcome to your first assembly meeting, I am Mr. Dei for those of you who don't know me or haven't heard of me, I welcome you all and hope you have a safe and brilliant stay. Now, as you may know we have accepted this sort of event in our school, but may I remind you that you need appropriate clothing, no foul language, and the event will end at 11:00 since it is a school night, so no stupidity!" Kagome heard Inuyasha snort.

"What's the point of the event if you obey the rules, it's not like girl's wear appropriate clothing anyway"

Kagome puffed her cheeks as she whispered back "I'm sure not all girl's dress horribly, my girlfriend certainly doesn't" 'Thank you Sango for being born'

Inuyasha shrugged "Maybe, then again I dated the total opposite of normal"

Kagome laughed and students nearby heard here and looked at her weirdly. Kagome put a hand over her mouth, and Inuyasha nudged her as he smirked. "Trouble maker shorty"

Kagome punched him playfully "Oh shush you"

"Now I hope you all have a fantastic and exciting week-end visiting parent's, relatives, girlfriend's heck even boyfriend's, and make sure to do all your assigned homework, classwork, and study!" Just as Mr. Dai had finished speaking the bell rang. And school was over for the week. Kagome's first week as a boy. All the boys ran out of the assembly and headed to their dorms or ran out of the school building straight away if they were not residing in the dormitories.

Kagome kept getting trampled, and some bruises from the gym of Monday and Wednesday hadn't fully gone and recovered yet, so she winced every now and then. Inuyasha would just shove or push anybody in his way, then again most students moved out of his way willingly. Soon Inuyasha, Kagome, Koga and Miroku were heading to the dorms. Miroku and Koga waved their goodbye and Kagome kept staring at Koga for a little longer glaring at his back 'Oh this week-end will be fun. I will think of anything I could to make you pay you bastard'

"Shorty come on" Inuyasha said a little impatient.

Kagome nodded and ran up the stairs to catch up to her room-mate. Once they were both in the dorm, she had grabbed her other duffel bag and started to pack a few things, such as some clothes, which she had packed even though she wouldn't be wearing male clothing, some shoes, her phone purse- well wallet, and as she zipped up her bag, she turned around to see Inuyasha laying on the sofa, one arm behind his head, and the other on his phone doing whatever, his legs crossed, and because he was so tall his legs mainly stood out from the length of the sofa.

"Hey aren't you packing?" Kagome asked, didn't he want to visit family too?

Inuyasha shrugged "Not going anywhere, staying here"

Kagome tilted her head to the side in confusion as she went and sat down on the sofa opposite his one. "What do you mean, what about your family, don't you want to go back home for a little bit, you know, to take a breather?"

Inuyasha answered quickly not even looking away from his phone "Can't"

"Why not?"

"They aren't in Japan, there somewhere in America" Inuyasha said monotonously as if he had said this sentence many times before.

Kagome nodded once "Oh, when will they be back"

Inuyasha answered again rapidly "Don't know, they tell me last-minute. Where are you going?" Inuyasha asked changing topic.

Kagome answered, noticing how Inuyasha wasn't really comfortable with talking about his family, so she just nodded. "Well I'm going back to visit, family and Sango, and maybe meet some old friends from Kurin"

Inuyasha nodded "Have fun shorty"

Kagome bit her bottom lip, not knowing if she should ask this or not "So what are you going to do?"

Inuyasha shrugged "Don't know, same thing I do every week-end, stay here, hang out with Miroku, Koga and Shippo. Not much"

Kagome nodded "Okay"

Inuaysha nodded. Then another bell rang, Kagome was confused and looked at Inuyasha. Inuyasha chuckled as he stood up "That bell signals that students can leave the premises if they are in the dorms"

Kagome 'ooohed' and grabbbed her duffel bag before making sure she had everything. She walked over to the door and put her set of keys in her pocket. Her hand touched the door and when she opened it she saw Inuyasha beside her.

"Have fun shorty"

Kagome blushed a little. He stretched his arm to touch the wall whilst his other was in his pocket, his hair loose and to one side over his shoulder, his fanged smirk, sending illegal chills through Kagome's body. Kagome just turned back around quickly and bit her tongue from such thoughts. "Y-Yeah, you too" and with that Kagome waved once before walking out of the apartment and down the stairs, she heard the door close and she sighed once as she sat on a step, placing her open palm on her chest where her heart was. "Damn its beating too fast. What the hell is wrong with me?" she heard a door close and knew Inuyasha had closed it.

Just then she felt a touch on her shoulder. She looked up and noticed Hojo. Hojo smiled at him as he saw Kazuki's eyes look at his. "Hey you okay?"

Kagome couldn't help but give a small smile back as she nodded "Yeah I'm fine, just got heart burn" 'Heart burn...seriously Kagome, maybe this is a reason why you were born a girl instead of a guy'

Hojo nodded and went into his bag before taking out a little box of tablets. Kagome looked at the box then at him. Hojo saw the confusion in his crush's eyes and blushed a little "I s-sometimes g-get heart burn's myself. H-Here, you need it m-more than I do right now"

Kagome couldn't help but smile at just how adorable he was. She didn't know why people would bully him, the poor guy was so innocent and thoughtful. He doesn't look like a bad guy in the least. Kagome smiled as she took the box a little sweat drop on her forehead. 'But I don't actually have heart burn' Kagome nodded as she put the box in her bag "Well have a nice week-end Hojo, thanks again for this"

As Kagome turned to walk down the stairs but then felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to Hojo "Yeah what is it?"

Hojo shook his head "You have some gum in your hair"

Kagome frowned a little. Gum? Must have been when she fell in gym class this afternoon, she did fall by the bleachers and they were known to be full of gum and food. But why didn't Inuaysha notice? "Oh where?" Kagome touched her hair as she tried to find the gum but wasn't successful.

Hojo shook his head "N-No not there. M-May I?" Hojo outstretched his hand and before Kagome could tell him no, he had already pulled the gum gently, and when it didn't budge he pulled a little bit harder, and Kagome's eyes widened as she fell her natural full waist length ebony hair roll down to her back, her natural fringe taking place again and her skin pale as she realised what just happened.

Hojo's eyes widened also as he fell on his bum, his face filled with shock. He pointed to Kagome "Y-Your...Your a w-w-omen"

Kagome bit her bottom lip 'Oh great, just great'
