Chapter 12: Avoidance
Blue eyes opened slowly. She let out a yawn and sat up. She blinked a couple of times to get rid of the sleepy dust in them.
She looked at the alarm clock that woke her up. She turned it off and let out another yawn.
Kagome rarely doesn't throw the alarm clock at the wall and today is one of those days.
She sighed. She put her arms behind her head and let some of the joints crack a little.
Then the door opened from her room. She looked at the intruder that turned out to be her brother. And as always he's ready for school.
He leaned against the wall and sighed. "You actually got up without complaining. That's a first."
"I thought I should get ready early for once," Kagome mumbled.
Souta sniggered.
Kagome raised an eyebrow. "What so funny?"
Souta walk to her bed and sat down. "Are you sure you want to get ready early or is it because of Scooby?"
Kagome blushed. He meant Inuyasha. She shook her head. "It's not because of him. I just want to get ready."
"Why?"
"Why not?"
"Because it's not you."
"What's not me?"
"Your suppose to be the lazy ass and I have to wake you up."
"Shit happens."
"And it happened last night," Souta smirked.
"What are you talking about?" Kagome narrowed her eyes at him.
"Don't think I didn't see you last night. You were all smiles and stuff. You kissed him," Souta teased.
Kagome had a light pink tint on her cheeks. She hit her brother with the pillow. "So what? It was only on the cheek."
Souta looked at her in disbelieve. "Who cares! It gave me nightmares! I dreamt there were little Scoobies running around and attacking my ass!" he yelled out.
"So why did you spy on us?"
Souta shrugged. "Don't know. I was bored. I just wanted to see a fight but you guys were all cheesy," he paused, "I never knew you had a thing for your enemy."
A pillow was met on his face.
"Oh shit! I'm right!" Souta laughed, "you DO have a thing for Scooby."
Kagome shook her head. "Souta it's nothing. I don't like him like that. Maybe as a friend but not LIKE that. But either way, he probably forgot and hates me like I hate him. Our war is not over yet," she paused and looked at her brother, "Why do you call him Scooby?"
Souta raised his arms in the air. "The real question is, why SHOULDN'T I call him Scooby, my dear sis?"
"I'll never understand you," she sighed.
Souta got of the bed and grabbed one of her hand and pulled her of the bed. Kagome was shocked at the strength her brother had. "Now get ready cause Sango will be here any minute and I don't think it's wise to piss her off."
Kagome titled he head, "You actually think? Miracle."
Souta frowned. "Bogus, dude."
"BREAKFAST IS READY! WE'RE HAVING CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES!" Mrs. Higurashi informed the two teens from downstair.
Souta jumped up and down, and clapped his hands. He looked like a child in a candy store. "Yay! Mommy made panckies!" he squealed as he ran down the stairs.
Kagome chuckled.
Then she wondered, why did she kiss Inuyasha on the cheek? Maybe because her mom said he could be a real nice guy? Or maybe it was because it was in the moment?
She shook her head.
But his cheek was so soft against her lips.
'I wonder what else is soft. . .' she thought. Then she slapped her palm against her forehead. 'What the fuck is wrong with me?'
She pushed everything out of her mind and got ready for school.
"KAGOME WALK FASTER! WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!" Sango yelled as she pushes her best friend to walk faster.
Kagome yawned. She's still sleepy. "Who the fuck cares if we're late. It's the last day of school, dude. We have winter break. Teachers aren't taking attendance," she mumbled.
Sango stopped pushing her and shrugged. "Hey, look it's Miroku," she pointed. He was smiling and waving at the other end of the hallway. Kagome rolled her eyes. "See you later Kagome." And Sango left her.
Kagome sighed. Great, now what is she going to do. She continued walking and closed her eyes. Still sleepy until she bumped into someone.
And landed flat on her ass.
She looked up and gasped. And somehow she wasn't sleepy anymore.
Inuyasha looked down on her and extended a hand to help her up. She took. Once she stood on her own two feet, she couldn't help but stare into his beautiful golden hues.
He cleared his throat. She looked at him dumbfounded. He indicated with his eyes to look down.
She did.
She blushed. She was still holding his hand, while his was opened. She let go immediately.
She looked down on her feet and looked at him shyly. He looked at her with a slight smirk.
The kiss played in her mind, and no doubt he knew what she is thinking. She also knew he is thinking the same.
They just continued to stare at each other's eyes and stare at each other's lips intensely.
They heard someone clear their throat and turned to their side to only find Miroku and Sango smirking at them.
"Is there something you two would like to share with us?" Miroku asked with a raised eyebrow. As if he were mocking them. But he has an idea of what happened.
The hanyou and the girl shook their head, and quickly said "sorry" to each other and walked straight to class.
Miroku crossed his arms across his chest. He frowned, "How rude of them."
Sango shook her head. "I'll talk to Kags. Let's just get to class."
Miroku nodded.
Kagome is now sitting in her desk. How can she be so stupid like that? It was just a kiss on the cheek. How can that change anything? Now everything is awkward.
She feels so ashamed of herself for acting like a head over heels middle school girl.
"Hey."
She turned to see Sango sitting next to her. The teacher gave everyone an assigned seat but it's the last day for school. They're going to have winter break, so the teacher made an exception for today.
"Aren't you suppose to be with Miroku?" Kagome asked. She isn't jealous her best friend is hanging out with him more than her lately, but she is curios.
Sango sighed. She pointed to Miroku with her thumb, "He wants some time with his best friend and I want some with some, too."
Kagome nodded. She looked to see Miroku talking with Inuyasha. Apparently, Miroku said something funny because Inuyasha laughed.
He noticed someone's gaze on him and looked to see Kagome staring at him.
The two teens grew red and quickly looked away.
Sango noticed this behavior and looked back to Miroku and he was staring at her, also noticing the behavior of the two idiots.
She looked back at Kagome, who is staring at her shoes.
"So anything new?" Sango asked.
Kagome hook her head, not bothering to look at her.
Sango raised an eyebrow. She knows her friend is hiding something. So she tried again. "Are you sure? You seem kind of. . .I don't know. . .distant."
Kagome looked up at her. She opened her mouth but no words came out. How is she suppose to tell her best friend.
Sango's eyes looked into her's. She could tell her friends is struggling. "Does it have to do anything with Inuyasha?" she asked softly.
Kagome nodded slowly. "He came yesterday to my house."
Sango looked surprised. "Really?"
"Yup."
"And?"
Kagome shrugged. "We didn't fight. Okay maybe a little, but he's a pain in the ass. Well anyways he came over, then mom and Souta came also and mom asked him to stay for dinner."
Sango grew interested. "Did he?"
"Yes, then he was acting like a perfect gentleman. The total opposite than what I'm used to. But I let him stay because my mom likes him and so does Souta. Anyways it was time to leave and mom suggested to walk him to his car-"
"But you refused at first and then she gave the death glare, didn't she?" Sango smirked.
Kagome sighed and nodded. "So I walked him to his car and we just talked. . .hey. . .did you know he is going to Hawaii, too?"
Sango panicked. 'Act dumb,' she thought. "R-really?"
Kagome narrowed her eyes. "We know what you guys are planning."
Sango gulped. 'Oh shit.'
Kagome scowled at her and crossed her arms. "I can't believe you are making me suffer so you can spend some time with Miroku and still take me with you and you know he's going to take Inuyasha with him also."
Sango sighed. 'Thank god, she's too dense to know.' "Oh! Sorry Kags! I thought you would understand."
Kagome sighed. "It's okay."
Trying to change the subject Sango quickly asked, "So what happened to you and Inuyasha? It seems strange that you guys aren't arguing with each other."
"Oh! Um. . .I . . .um. . .I," she stuttered.
Sango narrowed her eyes. "You what?"
Kagome sighed. Might as well tell her. "I kissed him."
Sango almost fell of the chair. "YOU WHAT?"
"Shut up! You don't everyone to know!" she whispered harshly.
"THE HELL WITH EVERYONE! YOU KI-"
Kagome smacked her across the head. "Shut up!"
Sango looked in disbelieve. "Sorry! It's just. . .wow. . .just wow. You actually kissed him."
"Ah! But on the cheek."
"My god, and here I'm thinking you actually kissed him. You take the fun out of everything," she whined.
Kagome shrugged.
Sango shook her shoulders . "So what is the problem here then? Cause I don't see it."
Kagome grabbed a fist of her hair in her hands and sighed out of frustration. "That's the thing. I don't know. Yesterday it was just okay. We weren't fighting or anything. But today's different. I can't look at him with the same hate."
Sango sighed. Now she understood what was wrong. "Maybe you should call it truce and be friends," she suggested.
The two girls looked at each other and bursted out laughing.
"Like hell I'll do that! He embarrassed me like crazy. I'm not going to accept him as my friend that easy," Kagome laughed.
"Anyways, I think you should just play it cool," Sango said, still recovering from the laugh.
Kagome nodded. "Yeah. I should. I shouldn't let that get to me."
She opened the door and came in. Her brother is with his best friend doing god knows what. She locked the door securely.
She walked until she met with a big stair case. She hates being rich sometimes. She started climbing and a maid was coming her way. The maid instantly saw her and bowed with respect and smiled. She returned it.
She came to the door that lead to her room. She opened it. She came in and dropped her bag on the floor. She made sure she closed the door for some privacy.
She jumped on her bed and landed on her stomach. She sighed and took her cell from her back pocket and dialed a number.
RING!
RING!
RING!
The voice machine came on.
Sango sighed. Kagome always answers the phone unless she forgot to charge it.
"Stupid girl," she mumbled. The beep came on and she said, "Hey! Remember the boat leaves at 10 o'clock, so you better get your fat ass ready when I came and get you, okay? See ya."
She hung up and dialed another phone number.
"Yes, Dominos' Pizza how can I help you?"
Sango rolled her eyes. "Miroku, stop playing."
Miroku chuckled lightly on the other line. "I couldn't help myself."
"Anyways, you know what tomorrow is, right?"
Miroku rolled his eyes. "Sango, chill. I know and I know what to do. I already made some adjustment already and we're set. The rest they do it themselves."
Sango nodded. Then she mentally smack herself, remembering she is on the phone. He can't see her nod. "Okay."
"So. . .?"
"So what?"
"You know what happened to them right?"
Sango sniggered. "Inu told, huh?"
She could see his grin, "yup."
"I guess they are already starting their part of the plan, huh?"
"I guess so. But anyways I have another question?"
"Yes?"
"Are you still considering to become my girlfriend cause the offer still stands?"
Sango sighed. "I don't want to be mean or anything but I'm still thinking about, lech."
Miroku winced at the last word. She is still afraid he might be unfaithful. But he won't. He'll make damn sure of that. "Okay. I'll still wait."
Sango smiled. "Night Roku."
"Sweet dreams my little sugar bugger."
Sango buried her head in her pillow. "You dolt, you killed the moment now. Goodbye."
She hung up.
She shook her head as she got off the bed and went to her drawer to get some clothes so she can shower. She noticed a picture in front of her. It's one of her and Kagome. Sango is smiling while Kagome smiled also but had two little horn on Sango's head.
Sango smiled.
"Maybe she wont kick my ass after she find out what I have for her in Hawaii."
Hello! I know it was kind of boring but I'm trying here. And once again any suggestions on what should happen to Inuyasha and Kagome in Hawaii are welcomed.
