Chapter 6- Decisions, Decisions
Inuyasha heard rocks being thrown near his window and went out onto the balcony. Kikyo was standing there, tears running down her face. She knew what a hard time he had with her crying. Just like he couldn't stand to see Kagome cry.
He watched her as she looked up at him expectantly. He knew she wasn't really crying. He wondered if she ever did really cry.
"Feh, get out of here Kikyo. I told you I didn't wanna see you right now!"
Kikyo frowned. "How can you say that? I love you Inuyasha."
"Then go become the way you used to be." He walked back into his bedroom and closed the door behind him. Was it time he closed the door completely on that part of his life?
Kagome looked down at her phone as she walked to her next class. It was Sesshomaru and he needed to see her immediately. She felt a rush of adrenaline go through her. This could be their first lead into finding out who gossip girl was.
She walked passed her class with her head down so her teacher wouldn't notice. She usually wasn't one for skipping class, but this was a special situation. What she wouldn't give for her senior year to be gossip girl free.
Sesshomaru sat in the passenger seat of her car waiting for her and she didn't begin to want to know how'd he managed to get into her locked car. She slid in next to him with a huge smile on her face.
"So? What have you found out? I think I'll jump out of my skin if I have to wait a moment more!"
Sesshomaru raised a brow at her but didn't comment on her intensity. "A man that works at my father's company was able to hack into her website. Obviously, she has ways to hide certain things, but he was able to find where the posts are coming from."
"And?"
"It seems that every post is made either here, at our very school or at this café downtown that's not to far from all of our homes."
"Here in the school? That can only mean one thing…"
"Yes, it is a student here at the school. I have him seeing if he can find out anything else, but as of now this is what you will have to go on."
"Sesshomaru, I could kiss you right now!" Instead she leaned over and hugged him tightly before practically flying out of the door. It seemed it was time for another meeting.
"So you're sure it's a student? What if someone just sneaks in after everyone is gone?" Inuyasha asked as if they were all idiots except him to have thought of it.
Kagome sighed. "After my initial excitement I asked Sesshomaru and all the posts from the school are during school hours so it would have to be a student or a teacher and I doubt it'd be a teacher, but I suppose we shouldn't close any doors until we have proof."
Miroku smiled. "I do believe I have an idea. The class trip is coming up though so I think we should hold off until afterwards."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Alright, I guess that's in then. See you guys at school tomorrow."
They followed the routine like before until only Kagome and Inuyasha were left.
"Kagome, can we talk before I leave?"
Kagome nodded with her brows furrowed. "Of course, is something the matter?"
"Last night Kikyo came over and started throwing rocks at my window. She was crying, well fake crying anyway. The point is that everything she does is fake and it has been for a long time now. You were right when you said we had history but that's what it is, history."
"Inuyasha I'm not sure what you mean by all this?"
Inuyasha leaned forward and kissed her softly on the lips. When Kagome began kissing him back he ran his hands into her hair and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss.
Seeming to come back to her senses Kagome pushed him back. "Inuyasha, you can't just keep doing stuff like that. It's not fair to me."
Inuyasha smirked. "I don't want to be just friends, Kagome. I'm done with Kikyo, for good. This is what I want. You are what I want."
"I don't know..what's going to happen when she comes back to your window? Or sweet talks you again? I don't think I can handle that kind of hurt."
"I will never hurt you Kagome."
Kagome sighed. "We'll take things slow?"
"Yes, we'll take things slow."
Kagome smiled and pulled his head back to hers. "Good." Then she kissed him.
Well, well it seems it's official Kags and Inu are a couple now! How long will it last with Kikyo lurking in the corner and a brother looming over their heads? Only time will tell and with a school trip coming up things are sure to get interesting! I've heard that there's been some very good persuading from our class president so there's no telling what's in store! See you later my little loves…
Kikyo clenched and unclenched her fists at her side. She didn't think they would move this quickly. She had to move fast.
It was after hours now and everyone except her history teacher had left. She'd asked he keep the school open so she could use the computer lab to finish a project for the class. Truthfully she'd finished it the week before.
Now she stood in the principles office. When there had been a meeting for the class trip it'd been decided that since only girls could room together and boys together that each person would have an opposite sex 'exploring' partner or the person they did everything else on the trip with that way no one got lost. She'd had no say in the arrangement as it'd been computer generated.
Kikyo opened the file cabinet and pulled out the list. She turned on the computer and made the changes she wanted. She printed the list and replaced it with the old.
This would definitely push things her own way.
Kagome sat in-between Inuyasha and Sango in the auditorium. Inuyasha took her hand in his and linked their fingers together.
"I don't know if I'm ever going to get used to that." Sango shifted in her seat to let Kouga and Ayame go to the seats on Inuyasha's other side.
Kagome laughed. "You will some day. Not all of us can know from age five that we are meant to be."
Miroku nodded. "We are lucky. My dear Sango is the light of my life. I knew this from the moment I set eyes on her."
"Actually, I think Sango told you she'd beat you up if you wouldn't be her boyfriend."
They all laughed and Sango sighed. "The good days where I could beat him into submission and get into no trouble at all."
The principal walked onto the stage and to the awaiting mic. "Everyone, please quiet down I know you are all excited, but if I can't explain to you what's going to happen we can't get on with it."
Slowly but surely all the talking quieted down and the principal gave a satisfied nod. "Good, now as I'm sure you've heard the juniors and seniors will be participating in a class trip and thanks to the very generous donation of our class president Kikyo Higurashi, we were able to plan a seven day cruise!"
The room applauded quietly, so they didn't once again get reprimanded.
"Okay, it will occur starting this Sunday. We will take buses to the loading which will be about a three hour drive. When you arrive here Sunday you will learn of your trip partner and room assignments. If any of you so much as step a toe out of line before Sunday you will be banned from the trip. If you have any questions ask your teachers and if they don't know they will ask one of us in the administration. Kikyo should also be able to answer most of your questions. Have a good day and see you all Sunday."
Sneaking around the school after hours? What are you up to now Kikyo? Watch out Inuyasha no matter what it is it can never be good for you or your new girlfriend. It seems the two of you are a good match after all you only seem to date inside one designated family! A little bit of leaked information for you your partners will be of the opposite sex, so who will be placed with who and what can this lead to? Trouble of course, my favorite!
Kagome stood in her walk in closet while Sango sat in the bench in the middle. "So why do you think Kikyo was at the school after hours?"
Kagome shrugged. "I know you're thinking that she's gossip girl and believe me she's one of the first people I considered. I just don't think it's her. She's too busy following Inuyasha around all the time. Ugh, I have no idea what I want to take with me! How is it you have no problem with this kind of stuff?"
"I let one of the maids pick all of my outfits for me. She has the best eye."
"Luck you."
"How are things going with Inuyasha with all the publicity it seems like it'd be tough to have any kind of relationship with each other."
"Not really. I've always handled gossip girl the same way. And soon I won't have to worry about her at all."
"I sure hope so."
"Okay, please help me out here, I'm completely lost!"
Sango pushed Kagome aside. "Sit down, I've got this all handled."
The group all arrived at the school early that Sunday morning. Kagome still yawing at Inuyasha's side. Kikyo seemed wide awake and glared at their linked hands.
Sango and Miroku each drank from huge cups of some kind of caffeine and seemed to be doing a lot better than Kagome was, but would likely crash soon after. It was a routine for them and why they were rarely awake during their first class.
Naraku watched with Kagura from the shadows and was eerily perfect. As if he always got plenty of sleep, but never slept to achieve that.
Ayame was upbeat as always and Kouga had the same look as Kagome and Inuyasha only smiling or making any movements when Ayame looked at him.
"Good morning students. Let's go ahead and get the room assignments out of the way. After that I'll tell you your partners and that will be the person you will sit next to on the bus."
Kagome sighed and zoned out. Her name wouldn't be called for awhile and this was just too early even for her.
"Who do you think our partners will be?"
Kagome shrugged. "I just hope it's not someone like Naraku. Remember when he was my partner on that project? I can't imagine having to be that close to him and around him that often."
Inuyasha laughed. "I'll tie him up and throw him into a closet and keep you as my own partner if that happens."
Kagome smiled. "Good."
"Kagome, while I'm sure Inuyasha is much more interesting than I, would you please pay attention?"
"Yes ma'am."
"As it were your room partner is going to be Kagura."
Kagome nodded. She didn't really like Kagura, but it was better than Kikyo any day.
Miroku was roomed with Inuyasha. Sesshomaru was stuck with Kouga to the dismay of both. Sango would be with Ayame. Kikyo with one of her bitchy friends. Naraku with some poor innocent student that would surly not survive his creepiness.
"Now to your partners. Remember, this is not up for negotiation. They were all computer generated, so I had no part in the choices. Let's see, ah, the talkative Kagome, you're going to be paired with Sesshomaru. Take your bags and go to the last bus."
Kagome almost groaned out loud. This is not what she needed. She'd sorted out that it was just some childhood crush she'd had on Sesshomaru, but she knew hoe jealous Inuyasha would be. Could their already rocky relationship handle this?
She leaned up and kissed him on the cheek. "I'll see you when we get there if we're not on the same bus."
He just nodded and Kagome could see his jaw clinch.
She bent down and picked up one of her bags while surprisingly Sesshomaru came over and grabbed the rest.
They began their walk away from their friends and towards the last of seven buses.
"Don't seem so surprised I do have my honor."
"Of course. Doesn't it seem a little odd to you that'd we be teamed up together?"
"Giving the fact how much it will bother Inuyasha I would say it is no coincidence."
"Guess we know what Kikyo was up to staying late and I don't have to guess who Inuyasha's partner will be."
Kagome got onto to the bus and walked all the way to the back. She slid in first with Sesshomaru beside her. "This is going to be an interesting week."
