Chapter 4- I Hate Surprises
"No way!"
"Oh my gosh I can't believe she did that!"
"She really needs to make up her mind it's not fair she gets both Takashi brothers!"
Kagome slammed her locker shut with a roll of her eyes. Here she had thought that she was showing GG she wasn't afraid to stand up to her and it definitely back fired. All everyone talked about was the video. She had hoped that since it'd been a few days since it was posted there would be something more interesting to get people's attention, but turns out there hadn't been.
"Hey Kags."
"Hey Sango."
"Having a bad day?"
"Are you kidding? People will not stop talking about what I did. I thought that the point of me confessing to Sesshomaru was to prevent this."
"I know. I can take a few guesses on who sent in that video."
Kagome nodded her head. "I think you and Miroku were right. I'm going to have to stand up for myself."
"Can I hit her?"
Kagome laughed. "No, I'll think of something else. Come on let's get to class before we are late."
"Sesshy! Wait up!"
Sesshomaru continued walking down the hall, Kagura running to catch up.
"What do you want?"
"Is that anyway to talk to me? You're the one that I had to watch cheat on me on video." Kagura pouted prettily but Sesshomaru ignored it.
"We are not in a relationship therefore it is not cheating nor is it any of your business. We had an arrangement and that's over now. Tell Naraku to stay out of my affairs." Sesshomaru walked into his class without a glance back at her surprised expression.
Kagome was surprised to find Inuyasha already in his seat when she came into class. She sat down next to him, making a point of not saying a word. She didn't really know what to say to him anyway.
"Having to much fun with Sesshomaru to make it to class on time wench?"
Kagome pushed her things away from her and turned to face him. "Well, aren't you the pot calling the kettle black? How can you say anything to me when you as good as told me you wanted the best of both worlds!"
"Feh, I didn't mean it that way! Sesshomaru is just trying to use you to bug me and you're stupid if you think he could actually like you!"
"Because no one could like me!? I know all about Sesshomaru trying to use me to make you mad he told me, so don't talk to me about something when you don't know the entire story. I'm done with this conversation and I don't want to talk to you again until you grow up, Iuyasha."
My, my tempers are flaring today! I guess there were more than a few of you angered by the video I don't blame you I'd wish it was me kissing Sesshy too! Perhaps we should all think about being a little more open but without the secrets and lies where would I be? Speaking of secrets a certain Queen B seems to be acting very sneaky lately? What's going on Kikyo? And who have you teamed up with to get what you want?
"I must say when you first presented me with this idea I thought it would never work, but now after the video I see that you were right."
"She's messing with the wrong Takashi I simply realized a way to nudge her towards the right one. And we both get what we want."
"Indeed. Now we have to take further action. You are class president so this will be in your department."
"No problem, I'll take care of it. And call off Kagura I saw her chasing down Sesshomaru we don't need anyone in the way."
"Why so worried about Kagura all the time? Jealous?"
"Gross. I'm going to talk to the principal try to be less creepy the next time we meet."
"Can you two get a room please?"
Ayame laughed and Kouga moved his arm from around her waist to around her shoulders.
"Don't act like you and Miroku aren't getting caught by teachers all the time making out in the janitor's closet."
Sango shrugged. "It's a room."
Miroku slid his arm around Sango and kissed her cheek as he walked up to join the group. "Where's Inuyasha and Kagome?"
"No clue. I heard that had an argument in class today though."
Sango sighed. "No surprise there it was bound to happen sooner or later. I'm hungry let's go get our food and table and they can find us if they decide to show up."
Kagome sat in her car with her head on the steering wheel. She just couldn't stand to face the entire lunch room full of people talking about her as she walked by. Things were getting out of control quickly. Now on top of the video people knew all about her argument with Inuyasha and rumors were flying. Gossip girl really made normal high school more difficult than it already was.
She heard her car door open and close and turned to look at who had joined her. She groaned out loud and looked back down. "What do you want Sesshomaru?"
"Not happy to see me? From what I've heard you've decided on a wedding date for us and Inuyasha is devastated with grief."
Kagome groaned again. "These rumors are getting to be insane."
"They only have power over you if you allow them to, Kagome. Now I came to give you advice are you going to continuing your insufferable whining or are you going to listen?"
"Advice? From you? What's the catch?"
"No catch, you have my word."
"Fine, shoot."
"This is the only time I will offer my help let's be clear of that first."
"As if I'd ask you?"
"You have to take what you want stop playing nice and stop being a victim." With that he opened the door, got out and shut it behind him.
After a few moments in stunned silence Kagome got out herself. His words were harsh and few, but she understood what he meant. Well, not exactly what he meant but she knew what she was going to do about everything that had been going on.
"Hey Kagome long time no see."
"Bankotsu! It's good to see you I haven't had the chance to apologize for the party."
Bankotsu smiled his dazzling smile and shrugged. "Nothing to apologize for you had some things going on. Do you have things going on this Saturday, say around 7?"
"That sounds fun I'll see you then."
Inuyasha shoved his way between Kouga and Miroku his tray packed full of one of everything the lunch room had to offer.
"Hey have you seen Kagome?"
"Feh."
Miroku grabbed Sango by the wrist to stop her from smacking him in the back of the head. "Let's just take that as a no."
At once all over the lunchroom dings could be hear as phones started going off.
Having a good day my loves? I know I am! It seems there is the working of a school trip in the works! I hope this comes to pass don't we all love a road trip! And sorry to the Takashi boys looks like our Kagome has decided to go another way, but don't worry I'm more than willing to take her place!
Inuyasha dropped his phone on the table beside him and continued shoveling food into his mouth. "I really wish she would just shut up every once in awhile."
"Don't we all."
Kagome came in and sat beside Ayame. "Hey guys, what's up?"
"You tell us?" Sango shoved her phone into Kagome's face so she could read the post.
Kagome rolled her eyes. "She's getting ridiculous. Now I can't have any friends that are guys? Next she'll be saying I'm two timing Miroku and Kouga."
Everyone laughed but Inuyasha who continued to pretend she hadn't sat down.
"Do you think there's really going to be a trip?"
"Maybe, that might be fun."
"I could use a break away from here. I hope they make us leave all electronics behind."
"Not likely, someone would sneak them in."
Kagome sighed. "A girl can dream, can't she?"
Kagome sat at her desk later that night. She had six pieces of paper in front of her and a pen out ready to write. She sat thinking a little longer before starting writing the same thing on each the sealing them in envelopes. She wrote a simple K on the front of each of them and threw them in her purse.
She went to grab her keys but thought better of it, her car probably had a tracking device on herm that wouldn't surprise her in the least. So instead she rushed down the stair and then down into the cellar. She was certain no one but the maids came down here and that was only to dust every once in awhile. There was nothing of theirs down here only a few paintings and some old furniture left behind from the previous owners over the years.
She went over to the stairs that led to the doors and pushed them open as quietly as she could. Even though she knew her mom wouldn't likely hear she wasn't taking any chances. It was well past midnight which was way after her curfew on weekdays.
She climbed out into the night and shut the doors behind her. She pulled her black hoodie over her head feeling completely cliché, but hoping it would help to disguise her as much as possible. She jogged to the back gate opening it and shutting it behind her, then taking off at a jog down the street. She was glad everyone lived relatively close to her.
She made it to her first stop and waited to catch her breath. It had been years since she'd done this and it definitely wasn't going to be easy. She walked around the estate until she came to the back. There, as it always had been, was the tree branch that hung outside the gate and just far enough down to be climbed. She hauled herself up onto it and began the slow climb. She wasn't sure how they'd managed it as kids but being that over half of the group were youkai they probably explained it. She climbed almost to the top and then went out onto the branch in front of the window that was always open. She went into her bag pulled out one of the envelopes and dropped in. Then she climbed back down and went onto the street to make her way to her next destination.
Sango woke up early the next morning to the sound of her buzzing alarm clock. When she sat up she noticed an envelope on the floor outside her window. She went over and picked up and saw the K on the front of it. Shrugging, she ripped it open and read the note inside.
Who else is tired of their lives being broadcasted? Meet me at midnight tonight in our old Takashi hideout. DO NOT tell anyone and try not to be seen.
-K-
