Chapter 3 - Invitation
She walked over to him, grabbed his arm and pulled him up off the chair. "Come along now InuYasha."
"Look, I'd love to, but I'd rather not, besides, I don't even know you…"
"I'm Kagome…remember?" She pulled him over to her table and pushed him down in a chair. She plopped down next to him and smiled.
InuYasha sighed and looked at all the girl, they all looked away as soon as his eyes met theirs. He looked at Kagome who was eating her lunch. He shrugged and finished eating.
Kagome quickly glanced at him as he ate. She smiled, knowing that she finally helped the new kid.

Chapter 4 - Making New Friends
The final bell rang and school let out.
Kagome hurriedly packed her stuff and looked for InuYasha.
He was walking towards the door.
She got up out of her seat and ran after him. "InuYasha, wait up!"
InuYasha stopped. "Hmm?" He turned around to look at Kagome. "Whadda ya want now?" He asked rolling his eyes.
"You said you'd come to the mall with me after school, InuYasha!" Her hands were on her hips and her brows were slanting to a "V" shape.
InuYasha sighed. "Ok, fine, hurry up…"
Kagome smiled and walked next to him.
He looked down at her. 'What a strange girl…I mean, is she really that desperate to be my friend?'
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Flashback
"Why don't you come sit with me, at my table, my friends are nice…sure it's all girls now…but that's all cause Miroku's at the library and Kazuo and Akito are sick." She laughed nervously. "I doubt you like sitting here by yourself, InuYasha."
"I don't mind."
Kagome stood up and walked around him. She grabbed his tray.
"Wha- What're you doing?" He stood in front of her.
She walked over to her table and put it down at a spot next to her.
InuYasha stood there, awestruck, angry at her for taking his food away from him. He wanted to go over to her and take it away, but something popped in his head. He'd been trying hard not to think about it all day.
He failed.
He sighed and sat down, head in his hands. His mother was sick, and in the hospital…InuYasha was terribly worried. All day long he'd been avoiding it, but it came back, it always did.
His dad, brother, maids, butlers, everyone, even his mom had been telling him she'd be alright. He did believe them…but there was a little part of him that had been telling him she wasn't fine…
She wasn't that sick, but she's been in the hospital for weeks…nobody would tell him what was wrong with her…they all thought he was too young.
A moment later, Kagome walked over to him, grabbed his arm and pulled him up off the chair. "Come along now InuYasha."

Just as they exited the school doors, Kagome spotted Sango and Miroku by the bike racks…Sango looked as if she would explode with anger.
"Hey guys! Umm…Sango? You ok?" Kagome inched closer to her friend.
Sango took a deep breathe. "Yeah I'm fine." She blew a loose strand of hair from her face and turned to look at InuYasha.
"Oh, right! InuYasha, this is Sango, and Miroku, Sango, Miroku, meet InuYasha, he's new."
Miroku and InuYasha shook hands, Sango smiled.
"It's very nice to meet you!" Miroku smiled and let go of his hand.
"Nice to meet you too…?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Kagome, Sango, Miroku!" Shippou came running towards them. He stopped in front of Kagome. "I have to talk to you." He pulled her away.
"What's wrong Shippou?"
"Old Mr. Akimoto gave me a detention …I didn't even do nothin'!"
Kagome frowned. "Let me see the slip."
Shippou rummaged through his pockets until he pulled out a crumpled pink paper and handed it to Kagome.
She read it carefully. "…disrupting the class? that's not 'nothin' Shippou." She frowned.
"Oh, well, uh…guess I can't go to the mall with you guys today, sorry."
"Just go to detention Shippou, I'll see you tomorrow." Kagome rolled her eyes and walked over to the bike rack.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sango pulled Miroku away from InuYasha. "Don't get too friendly with Miroku, he's a bad influence."
"Oh, come on Sango.." Miroku whined.
Sango looked over at Kagome. "Where's Shippou?"
"Detention."
Miroku and Sango gasped. "Detention?"
Kagome nodded and looked at Sango. "Just like you…" She crossed her arms. "What'd you get it for this time?"
Sango laughed nervously. "Well…"
"Forget it," Kagome smiled. "InuYasha's coming to the mall with us today!"
"He is?" Miroku questioned and looked at InuYasha.
"I guess so," InuYasha pointed to Kagome, "Kagome invited me at lunch."
"Oh! Well, that's fine with us." Sango smiled. "Let's go!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
They began walking to the mall; Kagome and InuYasha in front, Sango behind Kagome and Miroku behind InuYasha. The mall was only a couple blocks away from their school.
"InuYasha?" Kagome looked at him.
"Hmm?" He answered.
"How long have you lived here?"
"Two days."
"Have you been to the mall yet?"
He shook his head. "The only places I've been are my house and school."
"Well, do you know anyone?" Sango asked out of curiosity.
"Nope, 'cept you guys…"
Kagome smiled.
"What?"
She looked at him. "Nothing. So, where'd you live before you moved here?"
"Kyoto."
"Wow…there must be tons of gorgeous women in Kyoto." Miroku fantasized until Sango hit him upside the head.
InuYasha let out a small laugh and looked at Kagome.
'Wow, that's the first time I've heard him laugh all day…' Kagome thought.
"Do they always fight like that?" InuYasha asked, still smiling.
"Yeah, pretty much."
Sango gently hit her on the back. "Shut up Kagome." She laughed.
"Well, you do!"
"That's only cause Sango and I have a special relationship…" Miroku casually lowered his hand and massaged her bottom.
Sango's face grew red. "Miroku…" She said in a raspy voice.
"Uh-oh…" Kagome grabbed InuYasha's jacket sleeve and pulled him away.
InuYasha just looked confused. "What's goin' on?"
"Just back up a little."
"O…kay."
Sango slapped him and stomped up in front of Kagome and InuYasha, pushing them both out of the way roughly.
"Oh, so Miroku is a…"
"PERVERT!" Sango yelled back.
"Yep." Kagome walked over to Miroku and sighed.
She reached into her backpack and pulled out a cold pack. "Use this before it bruises. Really, Miroku, you have to learn when to stop." Kagome shook her head.
Miroku chuckled. "I don't know what you're talking about Kagome, she loves me…" He pressed the cold pack to his face and smiled.
InuYasha overheard and began to laugh.
Kagome ran up to Sango. "You ok?"
"Yeah…he's just a dumb pervert!" She stressed the last two words loudly.
Kagome giggled.
"What?" Sango raised an eyebrow.
"You two make a lovely couple." she was laughing now.
Sango blushed and frowned. She elbowed Kagome. "Shut up!"
Kagome stopped laughing but continued smiling. She turned around to see InuYasha and Miroku; who was still holding the cold pack; talking and laughing. "Hey Guys, hurry it up, you're falling behind!"
They stopped their conversation and quickly caught up.
"Kagome, we there yet?" InuYasha asked.
"Soon…"
"How long are we gonna be there?"
"A couple of hours, why?"
"Just curious."
"'Kay."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Everyone was silent for a while…just a while.
SLAP!
"Oh no…not again."
"Miroku, you PERVERT! When're you gonna learn?" Sango yelled, rather loudly at that.
SLAP!
She walked angrily ahead of everyone. "I'll see you at the mall Kagome!" She turned the corner angrily.
They heard a car screech and heard honking. Apparently Sango crossed the street without looking both ways.
Kagome frowned and looked back at Miroku. The cold pack was on the ground and there were two hand prints on his face, one on each cheek. "Miroku! What'd I tell you about learning to stop?"
"Calm down Kagome, I don't think he can hear you…" InuYasha put a hand on her shoulder.
"Huh?" She looked at his hand then up at him. 'Wow, he's really tall, about a foot taller than me. It's strange I didn't notice earlier.'
InuYasha nodded toward Miroku.
She looked at the boy on the ground. "Miroku?" She came closer. "You ok?"
No answer.
"Miroku…?"
Still no answer.
InuYasha was getting aggravated. "Oh snap out of it!" He hit him on the back of the head.
Miroku looked up. "Kagome, you got anymore cold packs?" He asked nervously.
She could see the swelling start. "No, sorry…"
He got up again. "That's ok, let's go catch up to Sango."
"Umm…Miroku?"
"Yes Kagome?"
"What exactly did you do to her to make her so angry?"
"Well…"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Flashback
InuYasha was walking next to Kagome and Miroku was next to Sango.
"Sango?" Miroku moved a little closer.
"Yes?" She moved away a bit.
"What are you doing after the mall?"
"I dunno, I might go to Kagome's…why?"
He moved closer.
"Would you like to come over?"
"Aren't you're parents on a business trip though?"
"Well, yes but…"
SLAP!
End Flashback
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
InuYasha started to chuckle, which turned into a whole hearted laugh.
Kagome frowned. "It's not funny, InuYasha! Miroku, how could you say something like that to her? She's only 16!"
Miroku laughed nervously. "I didn't say we were gonna-"
"But you implied it!" InuYasha said, still laughing.
"Yes you did!" Kagome had her hand on her hips again. She sighed and continued walking, noticing that they stopped.
"Miroku, if you really wanna make it with Sango, then try not to be such a lech." InuYasha said smiling and patting him on the back.
"Yeah, well…"
Kagome saw that the two boys were walking very slowly. She walked around then and grabbed their ears, pulling them across the street.
"Hurry up boys! Stop taking one persons pain 'n turning it into your own pleasure!"
"Ow! Kagome!" Both InuYasha and Miroku whined as the raven-haired girl pulled on their very sensitive ears.
"Oh, shut up…" she let them go and turned to look at them. They rubbed their ears.
Kagome stared, frowning.
InuYasha and Miroku took a step back.
Kagome started to laugh.
The boys looked at each other, exchanging confused looks.
"What?" InuYasha asked.
"Nothing, nothing. Come on, let's go, Sango's waiting." Kagome grabbed their hands, InuYasha's in her left hand and Miroku's in her right.
She walked them to the mall. Laughing along the way.
"Feh. Whatever."
"Kagome, what might I ask is so funny?" Miroku asked, still confused.
Kagome giggled and continued pulling them.
