Chapter 4: Thinking and Problems

The next day Kagome met up with Sango and followed her to the same place they had been at lunch. Kagome was glad that she met them and hoped that everything would be alright. She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard Eri, a demon slayer say, "Hey Kagome you listening?"

"Oh, sorry Eri I was just thinking what did you say." Kagome said.

"I was asking you if you wanted to go to the movies with us after school." Eri asked.

"Sorry but I have to go home and baby sit my little brother." Kagome answered

"Oh, well may be some other time." Eri said before walking way.

"Been there…come on we're going to be late to class." Sango said

"O.K…I hope the teacher isn't mad any more." Kagome said with amusement.

"Hope not." Miroku said.

"Let's just get to class." Inuyasha bit out harshly.

"What's up with him?" Kagome asked.

"Oh, he and his brother got into a fight last night. He just needs to cool off." Miroku answered.

Just as she hoped the teacher merely give her heath glares but was quiet. Kagome and Sango were doing there work while the guys were busy talking. Miroku was tried of beating around the bush so after getting Inuyasha to talk he finally asked, "So what's really bothering you?"

"Naraku…he's up to something and I'm afraid he might use Kagome against me." He answered

"Don't worry inu…she won't get bragged into this." Miroku reassured him

"What ever…let's just do the work." Inuyasha growled out

Kagome had heard everything and now she was just not sure about her new friends. She liked then and god only knew how much she loved Inuyasha but she refused to be exposed. She won't hurt her mother again. Once Kagome entered her next class she sat with Sango and took her notes. Sometime during the class Kagome began a not and told Sango the following:

Note: (Kagome, Sango)

Sango during lunch and in the mornings I'm going to be on my own.

What? Why?!

Inuyasha thinks Naraku will use me to get to him and if I get bragged into this my mom will flip.

Look, give us the rest of the week and if nothing happens then stay but if something does happens you can leave.

After Kagome read the last part she really had to think about it. On one had she could stop everything and on the other she could help her family. 'Kohaku I will keep my promise.' Was he last thought before she wrote down her answer and handed it to Sango.

Fine but later you have to spend the night at my house.

It's a deal.

After class Kagome and Sango met up with the group. After a while with talking with Eri Kagome was called by Inuyasha so that they could talk in privet. After a while of standing away from the group in silence Kagome said, "So what's up?"

"Kagome I was wondering if you'd like to go out to dinner and maybe a movie thins Friday." Inuyasha asked

"Uh…sure what time?" Kagome said as she blushed and looked away.

"I'll pick you up at seven." He answered as he handed her a necklace.

Kagome looked down in her hands and saw that it was a small sliver chain with a rain cloud. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha and smiled before she kissed him side of his face. After words she said, "Thank you." before walking a way. 'Well mama is going to be happy.' She thought.

'She said yes…she let me counter her.' Inuyasha thought happily before returning to his group. Some of the group member asked the if they should start calling her sliver queen but he said no.

During third block Kagome was paired up with a girl she didn't even know for a lab. Kagome turned to the girl and eyed her. She had red hair, green eyes and was a wolf demon. Jus as Kagome was about to say something the girl beat her to it.

"Hey, I'm Ayame and don't worry I don't mind hanyous. So you know what to do?"

"Oh yeah I'm Kagome…w have to get this chemicals create three different ones before making one strong chemical while following the steps." She said.

"God I hate this subject. Well we better get started." Ayame sighed out.

"Yeah, I would like to finish." Kagome added.

While they were working on their lab Ayame notice d the necklace she was wearing. At first she wasn't sure if she should ask but after awhile of getting to know each other while doing their work she finally asked, "So are you in the sliver cloud gang?"

"Oh, no I'm only really good friends with Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha and Eri. Why do you ask?" Kagome replied.

"Your necklace, it has the symbol of the leader of the sliver cloud gang. But I'm guessing he's just protecting you." Ayame replied.

"Oh, Inuyasha give it to me, wait what does this mean?" Kagome asked, 'Shit! I got careless.' She thought.

"Nothing, it's just others are going to be thinking the same shit I thought. I could help lesson the rumor by telling my gang it's not true." She offered.

"Please and thank you, so how many gangs are their here anyway?" Kagome said as they began to pour the two chemicals that were already done together.

"Well you have mine, the wolf tripe, and then there is Kikiyo's the mikos, Naraku's the spiders and Inuyasha's the sliver cloud gang." Ayame answered as she added the final chemical to finish the last chemical of the lab.

"Wow, there's more here then in my last school and town." Kagome said

"Damn you really must have lived in a small town." Ayame said.

"Yeah, I did." Kagome replied.

After they were done Kagome and Ayame turned in their work and went back to their seats. By the time school was over Kagome had become good friends with Ayame. Not as good her with Sango but close. Kagome walked home and found her mother in the kitchen. After putting her stuff in her room she went back down and told her mother, "I have good news for you."

"Did you stay out of trouble/" her mother joked

"Even better, I have friends and I might have a boyfriend." Kagome replied.

"That's great dear! What's his name? When are you two going out?" her very excited mother asked.

"He's Inuyasha, his hanyou and we have a date on Friday." Kagome answered.

"That's great! Oh Yumi called…there waiting or you on your web site." Her mother told her calmly.

"Thanks, I'll be in my room." Kagome said before running up the stairs and to her room.

"It's because of all the freedom you give her that she ended up like that." Her father said.

"I trust her to make the right choices." She replied, 'as much as I hate it.' she thought.

Kagome closed her bedroom door and went straight for her lab top. After she logged in she found Bluedragon, Demondragon and Halfdragon logged in.

Ladydragon: What's up?

Demondragon: finally!

Bluedragon: How's school?

Ladydragon: It's fine but what's up. I only told you to call if there was trouble.

Halfdragon: someone killed Haku and took over his gang.

Ladydragon: was it any one from our gang?

Demondragon: NO, it's a gang that wanted to grow.

Bluedragon: so far they haven't attacked up what should we do?

Ladydragon: don't fight unless they attack first. Find a name and get back to me.

Halfdragon: what about you? Are you safe?

Ladydragon: why wouldn't I be?

Bluedragon: because the new gang came from Tokyo.

Demondragon: so if anyone there finds out who you are you won't be safe.

Ladydragon: Don't worry I have friends if it comes to it.

Halfdragon: have you found a mate? Has any guys asked you if they can counter you? (She asked knowing that she had forgotten to tell her about this subject)

Ladydragon: what's countering?

Demondragon: it's when a demon or hanyou asks you out and offers you a gift.

Halfdragon: if you accept the gift then by demon terms you're his girlfriend.

Ladydragon: well…then our gang might grow.

Bluedragon: what is that suppose to mean.

Demondragon: what's the gang's name?

Ladydragon: the sliver cloud gang so be nice I have to go and thanks. Oh be careful.

Once Kagome logged out she went to the back of her house and began to work with her miko energy. About an hour of practicing she walked back into her house for dinner. Her mother watched as her now human daughter walked in and sat by her brother.

"It's the child's weaken state?" her grandfather asked.

"Nope, I can change forms." Kagome answered as she took to her hanyou from.

"So you can be human?" he asked.

"Yes, but I would rather be my self." Kagome answered as she started to eat her meal.

"Let's just have a peaceful meal. Kagome tonight is your turned to clean up after dinner." Her mother said as she sat down. '

"O.K. mama." Kagome replied.

Once dinner was over and the dishes done Kagome went up stairs and took a bath. After her bath the phone rang which she picked up. "Hello Higurashi residents."

"Kagome? It's me Sango."

"Oh hey what's up?"

"Nothing, I was calling to see if you needed any help getting ready for your date with Inuyasha." she teased.

"NO but how do you know?"

"The whole group already knows. Amy was the one that told me."

"Great…anyway so have you asked about spending the night yet?"

"Yeah my mom wants to meet you first thought but since you have a date this weekend how about I spend the nigh next weekend."

"O.K. well I'll see you at school tomorrow." She told her.

"K, bye." Kagome said

"Bye."

After they hung up Sango placed her phone down and turned to her night stand. There on her night stand was a picture of her brother. After her parents split up he was forced to go with her father and she chose to be with her mother. 'Kohaku…please be safe." she thought before turning off the light and going to sleep.
