Hidden Innocence
Chapter 8: Kiss and tell...maybe
The next morning Kagome was up around 7 in the morning. The only reason she was able to get up was because she had her alarm clock turned on and put right up to her head. Kagome was definitely not a morning person and everyone in the house heard it when she was finally up. Kagome slowly crawled out of bed and slowly crawled towards her washroom. The first thing she did was turn on the tap and splashed cold water on her face, which finally woke her up. Then Kagome took a quick shower. After her shower Kagome brushed her teeth, then she walked into her bedroom, dressed in a towel. She walked into her closet and looked for an outfit to wear. After a while of deciding she finally chose her outfit. She picked out a black, pink, and white plaid miniskirt, a whit halter top with pink flowers at the bottom left corner and black flats to complete the outfit. Once she was changed into her outfit Kagome went to her mirror. She looked at her wavy hair and was thinking on how she should do her hair. She decided to wear her baby pink head band and put her hair in two pigtails. (the king that are just loosely over her shoulder) Then she put on a little bit of eye shadow and some pink lip gloss, checked herself in the mirror and then went downstairs.
Kagome went into the kitchen to get some breakfast. And as usual Kaede was already that and so was her gramma. Kagome was about to make herself some toast but Kaede had already made it for her. Kagome ate it graciously. Once she was done Kagome checked the time, it was 8:00.
"Oh I should get going," said Kagome thinking about finding her classes. "Thanks for breakfast Kaede, I'll see you guys after school," said Kagome as she waved to her gramma and Kaede. She headed to her silver Cadillac.
She got in, put on her CD, and drove off. She was listening to her Hedly CD, She arrived in her school parking lot about five minutes later. When Kagome's car turned into the parking lot all heads turned.
"Who is that?"
"Damn that's a nice ride."
"Wow she's hot"
Kagome parked her car beside a familiar red sports car. She then got out of her car and went towards the tree that she was first introduced to Inuyasha and Miroku. She didn't see Sai or Miroku's car in the parking lot. There was still 25 minutes till the bell would ring. As Kagome got closer to the tree she seen two people standing by it. One was taller than the other. The taller one looked to be Inuyasha but from the distance she couldn't tell. The guy was wearing black khaki shorts and a red t-shirt that read " Your Worst Nightmare" in black writing. When Kagome was close enough to see who the people were she recognized bot of them, the shorter one was Rin and the taller guy was indeed Inuyasha. At first Kagome didn't notice but after looking at it again she noticed the ears. She couldn't take her eyes off them. It was so different, so unique, and so very... CUTE!
As Kagome approached, Inuyasha noticed her intoxicating scent. He was in his usual pose; arms crossed, eyes closed and leaning against the tree. But when he smelt her his eyes were open. His first view was of Kagome. She looked gorgeous in his eyes. Her outfit was just so perfect for her. He just kept staring at her, and he noticed that she was staring at him as well. But after Inuyasha looked at Kagome more carefully he noticed that yes she was staring at him but not his face, but something on his head, his ears.
'Oh great now she is gonna think I'm some freak,' thought Inuyasha, but then he noticed that Kagome's eyes were in a dreamy state. When Kagome finally reached Inuyasha she didn't even acknowledge him. He even said hi but she was lost in her own world staring at Inuyasha's ears. Inuyasha waved his hands in front of Kagome which finally got her attention. All the while Rin was watching her older brother and the new girl, while they were interacting.
Kagome blinked back into reality as a hand was being waved in front of her. She followed the hand until she found a familiar face, Inuyasha's.
"Oh hey Inuyasha... uh I was... just... uh" was all that Kagome could mutter. Rin started to giggle. Kagome had the biggest urge to touch those ears, to see if they were real or not. Inuyasha just watched the interesting girl as all these different expressions appeared on her face. At first he decided that he would just watch her but after a while she wouldn't stop so he decided that he would snap her out of her reverie.
"Kagome are you okay?" asked Inuyasha.
"Huh? ... Oh yeah I'm fine," said Kagome, finally able to say something in a proper sentence. They stood there in a minute of silence. Inuyasha wanted to confront her about his ears but was scared that Kagome would think of him as a freak and Kagome still wanted to touch them to confirm if they are real or not.
"Inuyasha?" "Kagome?" said each teen calling the other one. Then they both started laughing for no apparent reason.
"Go ahead," saod Kagome letting Inuyasha ask whatever he was gonna ask.
"No, no you go first," said Inuyasha. "Ladies first."
"Um, okay well... uh... I just wanted to know... are those... real?" asked Kagome as she pointed to his ears.
"Uh... yeah they are," said Inuyasha in a quiet voice like he was ashamed.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS!" said Kagome.
"Yeah... okay I know that they are-- "
"They are so cute!" yelled Kagome interrupting Inuyasha. "I totally love them," said Kagome. Inuyasha had a shocked expression on his face, his eyes were huge. So huge that it looked like they would bulge out. When Rin heard what Kagome said she smirked to herself thinking that she would be the perfect girl for him.
"What!" said Inuyasha confused by what Kagome said.
"They are just so adorable! Can I touch them? Please, I wanna see how it feels," asked Kagome.
"Uh... no, it's my ears not some plush toy, Kagome," said Inuyasha, backing away, but was stopped by the tree. He was relieved that she thought they were cute and not freaky though.
"Oh come on Inuyasha it's not everyday that I see something like that," said Kagome reaching for his ears. Inuyasha kept knocking her hands out of the way.
"Stop it Kagome!"
"No, I wanna feel them, come on I'm not gonna bite," said Kagome not giving up. Kagome kept her hands close to his ears, still attempting to feel them, when two of their friends showed up. Sango, Miroku, and Kohaku showed up.
"Yo Yash!" yelled Miroku as he approached which caused Inuyasha to turn towards them and forgot about Kagome's grabby hands.
"Ah-ha I got them, they are so cute!" she squealed as she rubbed them. Inuyasha then realized that Kagome had gotten a hold of his ears.
"Kagome let go of my...purr," Inuyasha stopped because of the sensational feeling in his ears. It just felt so good to him that he couldn't say anything. The sad thing was that their friends had just arrived and the sight was priceless. It looked as if Kagome was petting Inuyasha, as if he was a dog and that he was reacting to it like a dog would.
"Whoa, what's going on here?"asked Miroku. "Don't you know that there are children present?"
"Oh shut it, lech," said Kohaku, who knew that Miroku was talking about him even though he was 14 and would be turning 15 in like 5 months. Miroku cringed, still uncomfortable with Kohaku calling him that just cause he is Sango's younger brother.
Kagome didn't care that they guys had arrived, to her there was nothing wrong with her touching his ears. But Inuyasha though otherwise. It took everything he had to be able to move away from the hands.
"Kagome, stop it!" said Inuyasha as he smacked her hands away from him. Sango and Miroku watched in amusement at the way the two were behaving and only after meeting just a day ago. While those two were watching their friends, Rin and Kohaku left to go see if they could find Nazuna.
"Fine Inuyasha, if you don't like me then just say it, and just cause I like your ears, which many people must think they are cute, why do you get all embarrassed when I touch them, huh?" said Kagome as she was about to storm off. Inuyasha was surprised, why did she think that he didn't like her. Inuyasha grabbed her hands to stop her. Kagome jumped by the sudden contact of his hands on hers.
"Kagome can you just chill for a sec?" said Inuyasha.
"No, I'm sorry Inuyasha but I don't want to be late for class," said Kagome.
"Uh Kagome we still have 15 minutes before class started," said Inuyasha.
"Well yeah if I don't go now then I won't find my class in time," said Kagome.
"Well we all have homeroom togetther, so can't we just walk together? I promise we won't be late," said Inuyasha. Kagome gave up, she just stood there.
"Kagome?" asked Inuyasha.
"Yeah..." was the only response he got.
"Why do you think I don't like you?" he asked quietly. Kagome said nothing, she just stood there like a lifeless shell. "Well I don't know why you think that but do like you and you are wrong, not many people think my ears to be cute actually I think you are the first person to ever say that they are, well besides my mom maybe," said Inuyasha.
"Are you serious?" asked Kagome.
"Yup, that's why I was shocked when you started saying that... you know that my ears are cute," said Inuyasha
"Well they are," said Kagome, " and whoever says otherwise are just plain stupid."
"Yeah I guess so, but still it was so weird cause all my life I was ridiculed cause of them, but now in high school everyone wants to be me, it's all kind of ironic," said Inuyasha.
"Well let people sat whatever they want, but just know that I like you just the way you are," said Kagome. She then kissed him on the cheek which caused Inuyasha to blush a really deep tomato red. Kagome then ran off towards the parking lot because she seen Sai's car pull into the school parking lot.
Inuyasha just stood there with his hand over the cheek that Kagome had kissed. His face was still red and he just stood there. Sango and Miroku went up to him for a little confrontation.
"Yash," said Miroku as he waved his hands in front of his face. Inuyasha blinked, then noticed his two friends standing in front of him.
"Oh, hey guys, what's up?" asked Inuyasha just hoping that they didn't see the kiss but he knew that they did. One reason that they seen it and the second being that he had the biggest grin on his face.
"I dunno Yashie, what's up with you and a certain someone?" asked Sango.
"Uh I don't know what you mean by that," said Inuyasha.
"Oh come on Yash you know, what was with that kiss?" asked Miroku.
"What kiss?" said Inuyasha like the two were crazy or something.
"Okay Yashie stop playing dumb, you know what we are talking about but you just don't want to admit it," said Sango.
"I still don't know what you're talking about," said Inuyasha as he started walking towards the school.
"Inuyasha either you fill us in or we will tell everyone about you know what over the PA!" threatened Miroku knowing that Inuyasha would give in not wanting anyone to know about one of his childhood embarrassments.
"So ahead Miroku, try it I dare you," said Inuyasha as he walked away knowing that Miroku wouldn't dare and if he did then he would really regret it.
"Damn it Yash!" mumbled Miroku as he stood there with Sango.
"Oh don't worry honey, I'll ask them during choir, they won't have anywhere to run and Yash can't threaten me like he can you," said Sango.
"Yeah I guess you're right but so much for being best friends, huh?" said Miroku. That statement made Sango laugh.
"Yeah well we should get to homeroom soon," said Sango.
"Yeah I guess you're right," sad Miroku.
"But ain't I always?" asked Sango.
"Yeah sadly, you are," answered Miroku.
"And that's why you love me, right?" asked Sango.
"Of course sweetie," said Miroku as he gave his girlfriend a peck on the cheek. He then wrapped his arms around her and started walking forwards. "Now lets get going," said Miroku.
"That's not a bad idea," said Sango as she broke out into a smirk and caused Miroku to chuckle.
"Okay come on lets go!" said Miroku as he chased her towards the building.
Kagome wandered towards Sai's car after she kissed Inuyasha on his cheek. She didn't know what made her do it, but for some reason she thought that it was the only thing that would cheer him up. She didn't want to stick around though, cause she knew Sango and Miroku would run an interrogation between the two. She was lucky though cause if she didn't see Sai's car when she did, then she would have had to stay with the group in order to find her homeroom in time.
Once she reached Sai's car she seen that he was still inside. When she looked in she seen him reaching for his bag in the back seat. She knocked on the window to catch his attention. When he looked up at her, Kagome smiled sweetly and waved. She was somewhat on cloud nine just cause she had given Inuyasha a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey Kagome," said Sai as he got out of his car and locked it.
"Hey Sai," she said in a chirpy voice.
"My someone is rather excited today," stated Sai as he started walking towards the school, seeing that they only had five minutes and he had to go to his locker and put his bag away.
"What are you talking about?" said Kagome
"Oh come on, I've been around you enough to know how you act on a daily basis and this is not it," said Sai.
"Okay I guess you got me there but I'm not gonna tell," said Kagome. Sai wanted to know but decided not to ask.
"Okay you don't have to," he said.
"Really? You're not one bit curious?" asked Kagome now wanting to tell him.
"No... not really," he replied as he opened the door to the school for himself and Kagome.
"Are you sure?" she asked again.
"Kagome if I was then I would be asking now wouldn't I?" said Sai using a form of reverse psychology.
"Okay, okay but I'll tell you anyway," said Kagome wanting to tell him. "Okay, well I came here a little early this morning and wandered towards the tree cause that was the place that you said you guys would usually be and then I seen that Inuyasha was there," started Kagome as the reached their lockers.
"Uh-huh..." was Sai's only confirmation that he was listening.
"Well yeah so today was the first time I ever seen his ears, cause yesterday he was wearing a hat and today was the second day of me knowing him. Well anyways he got a little touché that I thought they were totally cute and tried to touch them. Things happened I got to feel them, Miroku and Sango came, he pushed my hands away, I got mad and was about to storm off but then he stopped me and explained it to me. Then I told him that who ever thought they were weird are just plain stupid and after that I kissed him---"
"You did what!" yelled Sai when he heard her say that she kissed him.
"Jeez Said don't go jumping to your own conclusions and listen to everything first," said Kagome
"Okay, sorry please continue," said Sai as they walked in the empty halls towards their home room.
"Well I kissed him on the cheek and then I seen you enter the school parking lot. So I came to you cause I didn't want to answer Sango and Miroku's questions which I knew would be there cause they seen me kiss him," finished Kagome, and right when they reached their home room.
"Oh Kagome, those two are really persistent, they won't stop till they get their answers, so you aren't in the clear yet," said Sai.
"Thanks for the heads up but I think I'll be able to handle it, after all I have dealt with thing way worse than them," said Kagome as she entered the class room.
'Oh you think that Kags but don't underestimate those two especially Sango,' thought Sai as he followed her into the class.
The two made it just in time, cause right when Said entered the class the bell rand. He went and sat in the back with the rest of the gang. Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango and Yuka, the girl Sango was sitting with the day before, were all laughing at something Kagome had said as Kikyou left the group with an angry look on her face.
"Hey guys," said Sai as he sat beside Inuyasha in the back row. Miroku sat in front of him and Kagome sat beside him and in front of them was Sango and Yuka. For some odd reason they all sat in the same desks they sat in yesterday even though they don't have assigned seats cause home room is only for the first week on their semester.
"So... can anyone tell me what was so funny?" asked Sai.
"Well Kikyou came back here and was talking to Inuyasha about summer vacation, all she said to him was 'So how was your vacation' and Yash just responded with 'Good" and Kikyou just stood there and praised him about how good he looked today and blah, blah, blah, and then our dear Kagome, who by the way I am so happy that she is here this year, was just like 'Damn this girls is such a suck (Kagome's abbreviated word for a suck up; Kagome's language) she probably practices it regularly,' oh man it was so funny cause of what was implied which is probably true on all counts," said Miroku as he broke out in laughter once again.
"Didn't she say anything in her defense?" asked Sai as he seen her at the other side of the classroom.
"No not really, she just stormed off not saying a word," said Sango as she answered Sai.
"Damn Kagome in just two days you've dissed her and with out even getting a scratch on you, and plus you even slapped her," said Sai.
"Well thank you, I would just like to thank everyone who supported me and always believed in me, and I would also like to point that if given the chance I would so punch her cause slapping is not something I do very often but seeing as she was a scrawny bitch I decided to take it easy on her," said Kagome as if she had won an award and state the truth like many people do. The whole statement had cause the whole group to crack another smile, and Kagome as well.
"Okay class settle down please, Sorry I'm late but the photo copier went haywire, so it took some time to copy your activity for the short period. Now first I'll take attendance and then after I'll hand each of you a sheet of paper. You need a pen or a pencil to record the name of the person. The name of the activity is called "Name Bingo", it's really simple and I'm sure most of you have heard of it before. Just walk and ask each person a question on the sheet and if they say yes to one of the questions then you write their name down in that box," said Mr. Terada. Everyone moaned.
"Now come on students, yesterday I let you socialize with you friends so today I want everyone to mingle , and get to know something about the others," he said again. Mr. Terada then took their attendance and handed out the sheets of paper to everyone.
"Okay class to make it a little more interesting the first person to get a bingo will have a choice to either get a chocolate bar of some sort or they don't have to part take in the activity that I have for you tomorrow," said Mr. Terada. That piece of info really motivated the students to participate.
"Okay class I will give you as much time as you need but only until the first person yells bingo, but remember just cause someone says bingo it doesn't mean that it's correct. So don't be sad if someone yells it cause they might be wrong. Okay well you may begin," said Mr. Terada.
The class went in a riot; cornering people, asking questions, getting answers and then preying on a new victim. It was quite entertaining for their teacher to watch. About five minutes into the activity Kikyou yelled Bingo, as she squealed. The teacher checked it over and asked each student, most of them said yes to what Kikyou wrote them down as but when he asked Inuyasha, who she wrote as an only child, Inuyasha said 'No,' well cause it wasn't true. The class then resumed their little riot and this time Miroku yelled bingo. Their teacher checked over Miroku's sheet and again asked each student and this time everyone said it was true. So Miroku had won and now he had a choice, to pass on tomorrow's activity or get the chocolate bar.
the only reason the students were participation was because they would have a chance to skip tomorrow's lame activity. So they were mad that Miroku won and would get to skip the activity next class.
"Okay Miroku what would you like? The chocolate bar or to skip tomorrow's activity?" asked Mr. Terada. Miroku put his fingers on his chin and looked as if he was thinking really hard about it, but in reality he had already picked what he wanted when he first heard the choice.
The he said," I think I'm gonna pick the...chocolate bar."
Everyone in the class had an anime sweat drop when they heard Miroku ask for the chocolate bar even Mr. Terada was surprised. Some of the students even fell down (anime style of course). Miroku was happy though cause he got a free chocolate bar. He didn't even notice a single persons reaction to his choice. Then he turned towards everyone and noticed that they were all staring at him weirdly.
"What? Why are you all looking at me like that?" he asked.
"Go Miroku why are you so dense?" asked Inuyasha, his beat friend, as he leaned back in his desk with his hands on he head.
"What are you talking about Yash?" asked Miroku still confused.
"Nothing Miroku just forget I said anything," said Inuyasha as he rolled his eyes at Miroku's dense nature.
"O--kay..." was Miroku's response, which caused some people to start laughing so Miroku just sat down in his seat, next to Kagome. Yuka was sitting in front of him but she wasn't laughing so Miroku asked her. "Hey Yuka, why is everyone laughing?"
"Well Miroku first of all you gave up one of Mr.Terada's activities for a chocolate car and then when Inuyasha called you dense you didn't even understand why and when he said just forget he said anything your only response was okay... so do you get why they are laughing now," asked Yuka having a doctor Phil moment. She tried to tell him that Inuyasha was saying he was dense and that's why they were laughing but being that he was dense he didn't understand. Miroku just looked even more confused than before.
"You know what Miroku the reason they are all laughing is cause of Inuyasha," said yuka seeing that she gave up trying to explain it to him.
"Okay," said Miroku.
'Wow Miroku really is dense, what Sango see's in him I don't think I'll ever know,' thought Yuka.
"Okay class since the game ended earlier than I expected, I guess you guys can mingle till the bell rings," said Mr. Terada. After their teacher said that he left the class and all the students formed their group. Inuyasha and the gang all turned around and formed their own circle. Kikyou came over with her friend Yura.
"Hey guys," said Kikyou; smiling to everyone until she set eyes on Kagome. He smile faded and her face was showing hatred.
"Hey Kikyou..." said a few of them. Kikyou then turned to Miorku.
"I don't know what's wrong with you Miroku, why the hell did you pick a damn chocolate bar over a pass on one of Mr. Terada's lame activities? Only stupid people would pick something like that, and I don't wanna say it but seeing as you picked it I guess you are too," said Kikyou as she sneered at him. Miroku was about to say something but wasn't quick enough.
"Okay Kikyou I have a question for you, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? You come here in our group and bad mouth Miroku," said Kagome already getting tired of her, even though that they've only known each other for two days.
"Yeah who the fuck do you think you talking like that to my boyfriend, I don't think it's a good idea," said Sango
"Oh and why is that cause you'll hurt me, ha now that's a laugh," said Kikyou.
"Oh you think so? Well you won't be laughing when I actually hit you, you just think that just cause I haven't done anything to you that I won't. Don't think I'm scared of you cause I'm not and I'll prove it to you anytime anyplace," said Sango really hoping that Kikyou says then and there.
"Now, now ladies, this feud is pointless. Kikyou is just a sore loser and is embarrassed that she didn't know something as public as Inuyasha's siblings, after all his parents are both public figures," said Miroku shutting up all three girls and embarrassing Kikyou in the process.
"Shut up, I ain't a sore loser and I know for a fact that Izayoi Takahashi has only ever had one child and that child is Inuyasha. So how was I wrong?" asked Kikyou.
"I have a younger sister and an older brother that is how you are wrong," said Inuyasha.
"Damn Kikyou you always go around saying that you know so much about Inuyasha and that you'd be perfect for each other and then here you are and you don't even know that he had a brother and a sister," said Sai, which made Kikyou even more embarressed.
"Hmph what ever, Inuyasha you know that we are perfect for each other, so why don't you say it to there losers," said Kikyou directing her attention to Inuyasha. Inuyasha groaned mentally, then he actually looked up at Kikyou. When he did this Kikyou got all giddy inside.
"Look Kikyou I honestly don't know why you think we are perfect for each other but we aren't, and these so called "losers" that you spoke of are my closest friends and I'd advise you not to call them losers or any other stupid names again," said Inuyasha, sounding like Sesshomaru, and hoping that she would finally leave him alone. Kikyou had a shocked and hurt look on her face as she stood there in front of the group.
"Kikyou come on let's go," said Yura trying to pull her away and Kikyou was dragged out of the class room while the class was still in session.
After the two left the class room the rest of the class erupted in cheer as they had all been listening to the heated confrontation. People were whispering to each other as the gang sat there.
"Finally someone shut her up."
"And Inuyasha of all people.
"That new girl really doesn't take shit from no one."
"Yeah I know and she is such a hottie."
When Inuyasha head one of the guys call Kagome a hottie, something inside of him started to boil. He just didn't like the fact that some guy was talking about Kaogme like that. Instinctively he started growling a low growl inaudible to the human ears. Sai on the other hand was able to hear is even while the rest of the gang were busy in their conversations.
"Yo, Yash are you alright?" asked Sai, curious to know what made Inuyasha growl.
"Huh?..." was the response as Inuyasha snapped back to reality.
"Dude you were growling at him," said Sai.
"What are you talking about, I don't growl and why would I be growling at Kenji he didn't do anything to me," said Inuyasha saying that he realized why he was looking in Kenji's direction beacuse he was talking about Kagome. A small blush same across his face which Sai seen, seeing that he was still waiting for a better response.
"Yash yo-you're blushing..." said Sai a little shocked to see a guy like Inuyasha blush. Inuyasha noticed and just sat there thinking deeply about the situation. He totally ignored Sai.
"Inuyasha what's up with you lately?" asked Sai.
"Nothing I'm the same old Yash that all you guys know," said Inuyasha of handedly.
"No you seem like something--- let me rephrase that someone is on your mind, am I right?" asked Sai.
"I guess there is something on my mind but you don't have to know about it right now," said Inuyasha leaving Sai even more curious. Just when Sai was about to ask Inuyasha about the kiss, Mr. Terada walked back into the class room.
"Okay class the bell should ring any minute now so you can all pack up your things and get ready to leave," said Mr. Terada. Right after he said that the bell rang. Everyone filed out of the class. The group went to their lockers. Miroku and Sai both went to the school bleachers, just planning on hanging out during their spare/study block. It's not like Miroku needs to study on the second day of school. Sango, Kagome and Inuyasha all left together towards their choir class.
As the three were walking they all had the same thing on their mind. Inuyasha was lost in his own world altogether. He was thinking about Sai and what he was gonna ask before Mr. Terada walked back in the class. Sai was gonna ask about Kagome and the kiss. Even though it was just on the cheek and was initiated by Kagome they would bug him about it until it was explained. While he was thinking about that Kagome and Sango were also deep in their own thoughts and the walked silently to their choir class.
Sango was thinking about how she would bring up the situation in the morning, while Kagome was just thinking about the kiss and then trailing off into dreaming about going out with Inuyasha. Once they reached their class room all three teenagers put their thoughts a side and went to their seats from last class. A few minutes later their teacher Ms. Yamamoto walked into the class room.
Right when she walked in she got the class to settle down and they got right to work. Ms. Yamamoto handed out the class expectations sheet to everyone and went over it with the class.
"Okay now everyone knows what is needed of them in order to have a successful semester?"
"Yes Ms. Yamamoto," said Most of the class.
"Okay then we will get started now, First of all I want to hear each student sing a small verse from Joy to the world, in order for me to get an idea of where to place you in the class. We'll start off with the students on my right and work our way around the class, okay so Kikyou you are up first," said Ms. Yamamoto.
Kikyou stood up and say the song, her voice was pleasant but not magnificent she would probably be placed in the altos. "Okay that was good kikyou," said Ms. Yamamoto as she wrote down some notes. Kagome Sango and Inuyasha were on the other side of the class room the left side so they would be the last ones. Each student stood up and sang the small verse in order for Ms. Yamamoto.to see what their singing ability was. Finally after about twenty minutes Inuyasha was up. He sang it with no problem and as usual had one of the best voices in the class. Ms. Yamamoto expected nothing less from the rising star and knew where to put him as usual, as a tenor. Then Sango was up, she wasn't the greatest singer but had a very soothing voice. She sang the song and already knew where she was going; the alto group along with a few others and Kikyou.
Then it was Kagome's turn, she was a little nervous cause she never sang in front of more than two people. The only two she ever felt comfortable to sing in front of were Ayame and Kouga, so this whole class room of people made her a little nervous. For a few seconds she just stood there, then Sango nudged her mouthing it's ok you'll do fine. Kagome got some confidence and decided that it would be okay to sing, she opened her mouth and sang the words. Everyone watched her intently. A lot of them were awe struck as they heard her voice. It was so amazing. Ms. Yamamoto looked up from her paper and just stared at this young girl with an amazing voice. She automatically knew what Kagome would be a soprano. Then before Kagome could sit down Ms. Yamamoto called out her name.
"Kagome, um could you sing this song for me as well?" asked Ms. Yamamoto as she handed a sheet of paper to Kagome that tested all the vocal levels that a person can sing.
"Uh sure," said Kagome as she looked at the paper, and on cue Ms. Yamamoto started playing the piano. Kagome started singing. She hit every note with perfection and again the class was awe struck. Compared to Inuyasha Kagome was a god and he was just a measly peasants.
"Wow Kagome that was amazing, did you ever take singing lessons?" asked Ms. Yamamoto
"Uh no never even thought I could sing really," said Kagome a little shaky.
"Well you have got a talent for it," said Ms. Yamamoto
"Thanks," said Kagome as she tried to hide a blush that was clearly visible. Kikyou scowled from the other side of the room as Kagome was praised by their teacher. Kagome took her seat.
"Okay class I will go over my notes and will tell you all what group you will be in by the end of the class. We will start practicing songs tomorrow, and I guess for the rest of the class you can just hang out but not too loud okay?' said Ms. Yamamoto.
"Yes," said the class.
Kagome sat in her seat as quiet as ever. She could feel the stare from people but didn't look up to see them. Her gaze was on her feet as if they were the most interesting things on the planet. She was quickly taken out of her trance when she heard the voice of the person she was dreaming about not too long ago.
"Kagome...hello is anyone there?" said Inuyasha as he waved his hands in front of her face.
"Huh?" snapped Kagome.
"Kagome, what happened?" asked Inuyasha as he looked at the girl with concern.
"Oh nothing happened," said Kagome.
"Damn girl you have such an awesome voice!" squealed Sango, which caused Ms. Yamamoto to shush her.
"Sorry,"
"Yeah Kagome you can really sing," said Inuyasha.
"You really think so? I always thought my voice was alright but never like a singers voice," said Kagome
"Well you do," said Sango.
"Yeah with a voice like yours you could've been famous already," said Inuyasha.
"Yeah," said Sango.
"Uh thanks guys, that's really sweet of you," said Kagome.
"First we find out that you are an awesome soccer player and then you can also sing like some pop star, what else can you do?" said Sango marveling over her new friends talents.
Kagome's blush got even darker with her friends compliments. "Okay guys, can we just drop the subject? Please!" said Kagome.
"Okay," said Sango as a sly smile came across her face, " so since we are changing topics I have one for you guys."
"Shoot," said Inuyasha not really thinking much of it.
"What exactly happened this morning?" asked Sango.
The other two teens were dumb struck they had totally forgot about the kiss with the singing, but leave it to Sango to remember.
"Uh...nothing ...really happened," said Inuyasha.
"Yeah right, Yashie I was there I sen everything I just wanna know why?" asked Sango.
Kagome was so okay with it so she decided so why not reply, there wasn't anything wrong with what they did it was just a harmless kiss, and on the cheek none the less.
"Okay Sango you are making that kiss more than it actually is," said Kagome.
"Well if you tell me then I won't have to do that now would I?" asked Sango.
"Okay to sum it all up since you were obviously there the reason I kissed him was because I thought it would be the only thing that could cheer him up," said Kagome.
"Cheer me up?" mumbled Inuyasha to himself.
"Cheer him up? From what?" asked Sango.
"Well you know his ears, I think I made him feel self conscious about them and to show that I didn't care he had them, I kissed him, heck I wouldn't care if he had a tail I'd still talk to him," said Kagome. Her statement cause Inuyasha to look at her. He felt so secure knowing that Kagome was fine with who he was.
"Wow Kagome that is so... sweet," said Sango after having heard Kagome's little information.
"Shut up!" said Kagome as she playfully punched her friend. Inuyasha blushed and so did Kagome.
"Well it looks like we finally have a future girlfriend for our sweet, adorable little hanyou," said Sango as she pinched Inuyasha's cheeks. "One who doesn't care how he looks, even though he's hot, right Kagome." That made Kagome blush and Sango just sat there amused.
Inuyasha smacked her hands away from him. "Quit it Sango!" said Inuyasha. "And don't call me a hanyou I do have a name you know."
"Yeah, yeah Yashie what ever you say," said Sango.
"Okay you still don't have my name right, and you've known me for how long?" asked Inuyasha acting hurt.
"Oh shut up Inuyasha," said Sango straining on him name.
"That's much better," said Inuyasha with a grin on his face.
"Psst," whispered someone
"Aw you two are so cute, best friends!" squealed Kagome out of the blue.
"Psst," whispered someone
Both teens just looked at her like she was crazy and she just gave then a wide grin, which Inuyasha thought was really cute.
"Yash come outside," whispered a voice that only Inuyasha was be able to hear with his sensitive ears. Inuyasha heard it and recognized the voice.
"Uh I'll be right back I gotta go," said Inuyasha saying that he had to go to the wash room.
"Okay," said both girls not thinking anything of it.
"Ms. Yamamoto," said Inuyasha as he approached her desk.
"Yes Inuyasha?" she asked.
"Uh can I go to the wash room?' he asked.
"Yea sure," she said not once looking up from the paper she was looking over.
"Thanks," said Inuyasha as he ran out of the room, and bumped into Sai. When he regained his composure he looked to see that Miroku was standing behind Sai.
"What do you guys want?" asked Inuyasha as he stood in front of his two friends.
"So Sango what did you mean when you said 'One who doesn't care how he looks' ?" asked Kagome once Inuyasha left the class room.
"Well I'm pretty sure Inuyasha told you that people used to make fun of his ears when he was younger, right?" asked Sango.
"Yeah he mentioned it," said Kagome sitting and listening intently to her new friend.
"Well some of, no most of the people who today are in awe of Yashie used to make fun of him and single him out," said Sango.
"Well no wonder why he was so conscious about them," said Kagome
"Yeah and the funny thing is, is that The person who used to pick on him the most was none other than the bitch herself," said Sango.
"Kikyou?" said Kagome
"Yup!"
"Wow, I can't beleive she would do that to him and then go around and try to get with him," said Kagome.
"Yeah you think," said Sango.
"Well at least had had you guys," said Kaogme, "what did you guys do when you first met him?"
"Well for me I didn't really bother to ask, I was little and just wanted to play games and well I liked to run and play sports so when I met Inuyasha we hit it off, all the other girls were such girly girls they liked playing princess and stuff and that was just so boring," said Sango.
"Aw that's so cute," said Kagome.
"Yeah, yeah I was six give me a break."
"What about the other two?" asked Kagome.
"Well Sai was Inuyasha's friend from the first day they met, he knew he was a hanyou but again he did care and to this day they are the closest of friends. I think they met the same day that I met him," said Sango. "As for Miroku , he met Inuyasha in grade 6 and at first the only reason he was being all friendly with Yashie was because of me, being the lech that he was back then he wanted to get to know me."
Kagome rolled her eyes " But then after a while Yashie, Sai and him started becoming close friends, and ever since the four of us have always been inseparable. I'm just glad that there is another girl you know seeing that these guys are just such guys at times," said Sango.
Kagome laughed at that, her story was a lot like Sango's only with her friends, Ayame and Kouga. Ever since they met they were inseparable, they went out, trained and just did everything they could together.
"Well I'm glad that he had some good friends like you,and I'm sure you guys would stand up to the bullies," said Kagome.
Sango held in a giggle. "Yeah on more than one occasion but it was more like Sai and me who stood up to everyone while Miroku would just stand there with Yashie," said Sango. "What I seen in him I still don't know."
Both girls laughed. "Hey don't be saying that about your own boyfriend," said Kagome trying to defend him.
"Oh don't worry Kaggie! He knows his place in our relationship," said Sango with a childish grin.
"In other words you wear the pants in the relationship?" asked Kagome.
"Damn right I do," said Sango with the same grin on her face.
"Well nice to see you too!" said Miroku in a cheery voice.
"Shut it Roku," said Inuyasha.
"So how's class," asked Sai
"Well it was pretty good till you two came here," said Inuyasha.
"Well we were bored," said Miroku.
"Correction I was bored you were just having a good time watch the girls gym class stretch," said Sai.
"Oh really, were you now, just wait till I tell Sango!" said Inuyasha.
"Oh come on Yash you wouldn't do something like that, I'm your friend here do you never want to see me again?" asked Miroku really scared that Inuyasha would really sell him out.
"Well if you want to live you better stop flirting with other girls, Sango is not worth losing!" said Inuyasha getting protective of his oldest friend.
"Well I wasn't flirting just watching!" said Miroku trying to defend himself, but only received a smack on the head by both his friends. "Ow, what kind of friends do I have?" said Miroku as he rubbed his head.
"Friends who are looking out for you," said Both of them.
"Well anyways, I'll share something interesting with you guys!" said Inuyasha as he thought about Kagome's singing voice.
"What?" asked both boys.
"Well you know how in choir class on the first real day of class Ms. Yamamoto made everyone in the class sing so she could place them in the groups," said Inuyasha.
"Yeah."
"Well when Kagome sang it was as if she was some god. Her voice was amazing!" said Inuyasha with lots of excitement.
"Really?" asked Miroku.
"Yup!"
"Well I guess we have to hear her sing now don't we?" said Sai.
"Yeah and if she's good enough maybe we could get her to sing with Yash in one of our songs instead of a recording," said Miroku and for once the other two liked the idea.
"That's not such a bad idea," said Inuyasha.
"Yeah Miroku for once you have a good idea," said Sai.
"Thanks---hey!" said Miroku
"Well anyways I gotta get back to class before they think I'm constipated or something and Ms. Yamamoto is going to tell us where she is placing us so I gotta go,"said Inuyasha.
"Okay," said Sai.
"Oh and Sai watch over him like a hawk till the bell rings," said Inuyasha.
"Will do," said Sai. Miroku just stood there looking as bummed as ever.
The stood in the halls as they watched their friend walk back towards their class.
Inuyasha walked back in his class to see that everyone was still talking away. He looked up at the clock and seen that there was still 25 minutes before the bell rang. He sat down in his seat and was about to join the girls' conversation but Ms. Yamamoto got back up.
"Okay class this took a while but I've finally put all of you in your groups. Seeing that it would take some time for me to read it all out I've made three lists. Each paper has one of the groups. I'll let each row go up and see where they are, and We'll start with Kikyou's group since they went first," said Ms. Yamamoto.
The group went up and everyone looked at their names, a bunch of them was in the alto group including Kikyou who was a little bummed but got over it. Some guys were in tenor but no one was in Soprano
As each group went up the groups were being filled in, there was finally two other girls in the Soprano group. Once it was Kagome's row they all went up eagerly. Inuyasha look at the tenor group and seen his name there then he looked at Soprano and sure enough he seen Kagome's name at the top none the less. Kagome squealed with excitement. Sango looked at alto and sure enough she was there. There were about 17 people in the alto group, 6 people in the tenor group but not as good as Inuyasha and only three girls in the soprano group. Once everyone knew what group they were in, Ms. Yamamoto got back up.
"Okay class today you all learned what group you are in and tomorrow we will being singing together as a class, I will have a group project soon for, it will be in groups of three or less and will be testing your singing ability as a group and also your ability to compose a song. I will tell you more about it later on is the semester. Well for the rest of the time I guess you can all talk," said Ms. Yamamoto as she turned around and walked back to her seat.
Once their teacher was done talking them , everyone started talking. Kagome then decided to ask Inuyasha a question that was in her mind since their homeroom class. She turned to him.
"So how is it that you have a brother and sister when Izayoi Takahashi only ever had you." asked Kagome
" Well have you ever heard of a half brother and adoption?" asked Inuyasha in a sincere way.
"Oh really," said Kagome thinking about it then realized she already knew that. "Oh yeah your dad had a first wife right and she had a son, what was his Sessho?" asked Kagome
"Wow Kagome how the hell do you know that, and his name is Sesshomaru," said Sango.
"Well I like totally love Izayoi Takahashi, she has got to be the best actress alive!" squealed Kagome.
"Wow you like mom that much, then I guess I should introduce you to her,...but under one condition," said Inuyasha.
"Really? What anything!" said Kagome with excitement.
"You can't go all crazy on her like some people do," said Inuyasha
"When have I ever gone crazy on anyone?" asked Kagome innocently
"Right," said Inuyasha as he rolled his eyes.
"Kagome I'm sorry to say this but in the two days that we've known you we've seen you get a little crazy more than once," said Sango.
"He-he well those were anger outbursts, I've never gone crazy..." said Kagome.
"Not yet anyways," said Inuyasha.
"Hey I resent that!" said Kagome. And then all three were laughing. A bit after the bell rang and the class filed out. They went to there lockers and met up with Miroku and Sai.
The two looked as bored as ever. When they seen the three come back from their class they were happy. Once the three reached their lockers they all got their stuff for next period out and went to their class rooms. Sango went the other way since she had Art and the other four had History.
Once the group got to their History class they all sat in their assigned seats. The class went by quickly for Kagome and Inuyasha but for about everyone else it was somewhat of a bore. Their teacher Mr. Mitsuki was doing the intro of their first subject, Japanese history. Kagome and Inuyasha knew a lot about it and knew that it would be an easy A for both of them. Once the class was over, the class was relieved to be out of the class. Kagome and Inuyasha on the other hand were a little bummed. Sai and Miroku seen this and scowled.
"Damn those two are such geek's," said Miroku.
"Yeah your telling me." said Sai.
"I don't know why people would even consider Inuyasha popular if they knew he was such a history freak," said Miroku and started to laugh but then he felt a punch on his arm and it hurt.
"Watch what you say there Roku, you don't want to die do you?" said Inuyasha as he walked past his two friends with Kagome.
"Yeah and who gives you a right to call me a geek," said Kagome as she punched his other arm.
"HEY! STOP HITTING ME! Sai is standing right there why not him, WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME!" said Miroku.
"Hey man don't get me involved. All I said was your telling me, just an agreement, never said they were geek's," said Sai and he gave Miroku an off handed answer and walked away.
"Why was I cursed with such horrible friends," ranted Miroku in the middle of the hallway as his girlfriend walked up to him. She snaked her arms around him from behind and that totally snapped him out of his rant. He turned around and smiled when he seen his little goddess before him.
"And why may I ask are you yelling in the middle of the hallway for when no one is talking to you?" asked Sango.
"Well honey your oldest friends decided that hey today is nothing special so why not make it special by making today beat Miroku day," whined Miroku.
"Really? Are you sure you didn't deserve it, you know that you can talk a little too much sometimes," said Sango.
"But all I said was that Inuyasha and Kagome are History geek's and they are its a fact not a rumor!" said Miroku.
"Well that's true, well I guess we gotta go give him a piece of my mind for beating up my honey, no don't we?" said Sango in a playful manor.
"No Sango I can take what they dish at me, I can stand your best friends in order to be with you," said Miroku in a dramatic manor.
"Riiiiiight, and they aren't your best friends?" asked Sango.
"For today no they are your best friends and I am just your boyfriend," said Miroku like a little kid would which caused Sango to have a laughing fit.
"Okay you big baby, lets go get some food," said Sango as she dragged her boyfriend towards their lockers and his dreaded enemies of the day.
Once they got there they seen Inuyasha and Sai but Kagome was no where to be found.
"Hey guys," said Sango all cheerfully as Miroku stood there with a pout avoiding the other two boys' eyes.
"Hey Sango," said both guys.
"Sango what's wrong with him?" asked Sai pointing to Miroku.
"Oh him, just ignore the big baby, just think of him as an acquaintance today, apparently he was bullied and will only respond to his girlfriend," said Sango. Both guys were trying so hard not to laugh once they heard her explanation.
"That's fine by us," said Inuyasha.
'Wow these guys can be such jerk!' thought Miroku.
"Well where is Kagome?" asked Sango.
"She got a phone call and her friend Kouga wants to hang so she said she'd see us in P.E." answered Sai.
"Yea, well anyways lets forget about that, well where do you guys want to eat?" asked Inuyasha.
"Uh wanna just got to the cafe I think it's Pizza today," said Sango.
"Yeah that's good enough for me," said Sai.
"Okay well lets go then," said Inuyasha, "are you coming Sango's boyfriend," said Inuyasha as he played along with Miroku's childish ways.
"Yea..." was all Miroku said as he followed behind his girlfriend. The other three all had smirks on their face as they walked all thinking the same thing, Miroku can be such a baby.
