Lunch had come quicker than Kagome thought. She sat down next to Sango.
"Oh hey, Kagome. How were your classes?"
"Not bad, I guess. Hey Sango, do you know a junior named Inu-"
"Sango!" An
unfamiliar voice interrupted Kagome's. "I've been searching for
you forever!"
Sango and Kagome turned. It was the boy in the
purple shirt who had been messing around with Inuyasha.
"Miroku." Sango said flatly. So that was his name, Miroku.
Miroku sat down next to Sango and placed his hand on her thigh, but Sango immediately slapped it away. Sango sure is tough. Kagome thought as she took a sip of her ice water. She could tell the two of them had feelings for one another, although it seemed like Sango was reluctant to admit it.
Miroku grabbed Sango's hands and said,"Sango, I know you've seen me with other girls lately but keep in mind you're the only one for me."
Sango blushed and shook her hands free. "Miroku, you're full of it."
Kagome felt a hand on her shoulder and before she could turn, Inuyasha had taken a seat next to her. He looked at Kagoe said,"Hey beautiful."
Kagome blushed. He always managed to make her turn red.
Sango looked at them
two and said,"Kagome, so I see you've met the infamous
Inuyasha."
Inuyasha looked at her as if that hurt him. "Hey
Sango, what do you mean, infamous? You say it like it's a bad
thing." He had a mischievious grin on his face that Kagome loved.
"It is." Sango pushed her chair away from the table and stood up. She grabbed Kagome's hand and led her to the lady's room.
"Kagome, listen to
me. If you want to get to know that Inuyasha, you better be
careful."
Kagome tilted her head to the side, confused. "What
do you mean?"
"He's like the most wanted guy at this school.
At least for the freshmen, sophmores, and juniors. Even a few
seniors. Besides him, I guess it's his stepbrother."
"His
stepbrother?"
"Right, his stepbrother, Sesshomaru, is a
senior. They're pretty good looking siblings. Anyway, my point is,
Inuyasha just ended a relationship with this junior, Kikyou. I'm
warning you because you two look alike and he might try something
with you."
"Kikyou?"
"The most popular
girl in junior year."
Kagome blinked. This was all so confusing
to her.
"Kagome, bottom line is. Most girls fall for Inuyasha and if you do, I'm telling you to be careful."
"Most girls fall for Inuyasha?"
"Yes."
"….why?"
"What do you mean, why?? You saw him with your own eyes!"
"You got a point
there.."
"Anyway, Kagome, you have to make sure he doesn't
hurt you."
"I know that, Sango. Thanks."
"Great."Sango smiled again and the two of them walked back to the cafeteria.
"My, aren't you two girls secretive." Miroku said with a smile as the girls sat down.
"Shut up, its not concerning you." Sango said, glaring at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha chuckled nervously. "What'd I do?"
The intercom came on and announced:
Excuse the interruption. This is a reminder that all boys interested in trying out for the team, please go to the gym now.
Inuyasha hit Miroku and said,"that's us." He tugged lightly on Kagome's hair and said to her,"later."
Kagome was so angry with herself, first day into school and she'd already fallen for someone who everyone fell for. She usually controlled herself and never had boy problems. She had a feeling this one would be different.
Sango turned to Kagome and said," Let's go watch tryout."
Kagome nodded and the two of them headed toward the gym. The whole time Kagome kept her eyes on Inuyasha. While the boys played, Inuyasha noticed Kagome sitting in the bleachers and winked at her. Kagome smiled back.
"Say, how would you like to try out for the cheer team?" Sango asked.
Kagome had never
really thought of herself as a cheerleader. She had been for junior
high but back then it was only for fun. High school, you actually had
to practice. "I don't know, I don't think so."
"Why not?
I'm on the squad. It's really fun. You get to go on trips to
other cities with the teams. Most times you sleep in motels and do
fun things. Last year, I wasn't on the team but I heard they went
down to the pool in the middle of the night and didn't get caught."
Kagome thought about it. It sounded pretty fun and she was in the mood for fun. "Well…"
Sango grinned and said,"Inuyasha plays every sport. So he'll be on every trip."
"Can tell." Kagome murmured.
"What was that?"
"I
said okay. I mean, not because Inuyasha plays.. it just sounds like
fun."
Sango chuckled and said," Whatever you say, Ms.
Inuyasha."
Kagome slapped Sango's arm and giggled.
