Disclaimer: Do I have to put this every freaking time I post? You'd think the first time would be enough to tell you I don't own Inuyasha.

AN: Hey! More reviews! I have 12 now, thank you guys. Nice to know someone likes my stuff. I never thought I'd really get in to writing fan fiction, but hey, I'm having fun! Here's chapter 5! (out of I don't know how many)

Confrontation with Kikyou

Kagome stood outside Shikon High waiting on the Takahashi brothers. Sango and Miroku sat on the big stairway that led up to the school's front doors. It was a pretty big building, with two stories. The science wing, language arts wing, and library were all on the first floor. History, math, and elective classes as well as the cafeteria were all on the second floor. There was a huge gymnasium in the back.

"Sango, have I told you you look ravishing today?"

"Don't even try it – WHACK – you hentai!"

Kagome giggled. Three days of hanging out with the Inu Gang and already she was comfortable with them all. She turned to Shippou, who sat on the other side of her. "Does he ever learn?" she chuckled.

Shippou shook his head and rolled his eyes. "Nope. Not even when Sango broke his arm. That was when they first met. I thought Inuyasha was going to die laughing; she warned him not to touch her or she'd rip his arm off and beat him over the head with the bloody stump."

"Speaking of Inuyasha," Miroku chimed in, rubbing his cheek, "where is he? He said he'd meet us out here."

Sango shrugged. "Who knows? With Sesshoumaru's driving, they could've gotten pulled over. That youkai drives like a bat out of hell."

"Well, I heard that Rin was sick." Shippou said. "They could've gone to check on her."

"Kagome Higurashi."

Everyone froze at the cold voice. Kagome turned her attention to the girl standing in front of her, arms crossed and a rather superior look in her eyes. The miko frowned. "Hello, Kikyou." she said calmly. "What brings you here?"

"I wanted to talk to you." the cheerleader said. "What are you to Inuyasha?"

Kagome gave her an odd look. "And what the heck business is it of yours?" she demanded, her hands on her hips. "Last time I checked, you and Inuyasha weren't even an item."

Kikyou's eyes went wide, and Kagome could feel the spiritual power coming off the angry girl. She's a miko too. Interesting.

"How dare you?" she hissed. "Have you been spying on me?"

"No." Kagome said bluntly. "Inuyasha told me."

"And what else has he told you?"

"None of your business." Kagome spat out. "Now leave."

Off two the left of the two mikos, Shippou, Sango, and Miroku all exchanged nervous glances. "Should we break this up?" Miroku muttered.

"I don't think we can." Sango said. "Not unless we want to get fried. It wouldn't surprise me for them to use their powers."

"Here comes Sesshoumaru's truck." Shippou said suddenly. "Maybe those two can stop this."

At the foot of the stairs, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru stood and watched the spat. Neither could move forward; the power of the two mikos was holding them back. Sesshoumaru gave his brother a worried look. "Think this is going to get out of hand?"

"Nothing we can do about it." Inuyasha said simply. "Just sit back and hope they don't kill each other."

Kikyou turned and spotted Inuyasha behind her, though a good distance away. "Well, Inuyasha?" she demanded. "Who is this girl? What is she to you?"

Inuyasha's eyes widened, but before he could say anything, Kagome's power reached out and broke the shield Kikyou had been putting up. The spiritual power dissipated, and the Takahashi brothers were instantly beside the small miko, standing protectively on either side of her. Kagome looked curiously at Kikyou.

"They're my friends." she said simply. "What is it to you?"

"You think someone would really want to be friends with a plain little girl like you?" Kikyou spat. "You're nothing!"

"You're wrong." Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru said it at the same time. Kagome's eyes went wide and she turned to the brothers. "She's something, all right." Inuyasha continued, aware of Kagome's disbelieving stare. "She stood up to both you and Kouga, and if she had to I'm sure she'd fight both of you. That's something special right there."

"Leave our little sister alone, or else you'll have to answer to us." Sesshoumaru said flatly. It was a tone everyone knew to be dangerous, when he spoke in a dead voice that sent shivers down one's spine. Kikyou simply glared back at the elder Takahashi and walked past him. Kagome grinned at the brothers.

"Arigato, guys." she said. You don't know how long it's been since someone's stood up for me.

From by the front doors, Naraku nodded to Kikyou as she passed. The miko had gotten her answers, and now he had gotten his.

AN: Sorry. that chapter was kinda short. Oh, well. I'll try to get them longer in the future, but that'll mean longer times between updates. Hopefully you people don't mind. So now Naraku and Kikyou are working together (in case you don't realize this, I really don't like Kikyou, so chances are she won't last long in this story). Want to know why? Keep reading – and review!
