6 Months Later
'Grrrrrr...I can't believe how annoying they are! Why in the seven hells would I even want to go out with Hojo? i mean they know about Inu...Inuyasha, why are they trying to force me to go out with him? Sigh, I miss him so much. Isn't it supposed to get better with time? all I can think about is Inu-Yasha...it hurts so much, why does it still hurt?' Kagome was walking down the school corridor grumbling to herself.
"Hey Kagome, how you going?" Kouga asked as he reached her, hearing her grumbling to herself
Sigh "I'm OK I guess, but Kouga?" Kagome answered as she stopped near a large tree in the school courtyard.
"Yeah?" he asked quietly looking at Kagome gently.
"Why does it still hurt so much? Isn't it supposed to be getting better? Easier?" Kagome asked as she looked at the clear sky blinking back tears.
Sigh "I'm sorry Kagome, I wish I could help. " Kouga answered softly as he sat on the ground under the tree.
"I just...miss him. Why did he have to die?" Kagome mumbled as she sat down next to Kouga.
"I don't know." Kouga answered as he brought Kagome into a one armed hug.
"I should go, I still have class." Kagome sniffed as tears escaped her eyes.
'Damn it Mutt, why did you have to die! She needs you. sigh, we all do. The demons are getting braver, I've had to kill 10 in the last week, they keep going after her. She doesn't need this as well as you being gone Mutt-face. Something is happening, I can feel it, but I have no idea what. Ayame says its another Naraku, but I don't know, it doesn't feel the same." Kouga thought as he headed to his next class sheathing and unsheathing his claws in his anger.
"Kagome! Hey Kagome!" Ami yelled as she ran up to Kagome near the cafeteria at lunch time. "what you doing?"
"nothing. Just heading to lunch." Kagome answered softly. "why?" she narrowed her eyes in suspicion.
"Oh! I just thought it would be nice if we went somewhere different is all." Ami replied happily.
"sure, where?" Kagome answered still looking at Ami with suspicion.
"Oh! its in the garden near the big oak tree." Ami said excitedly. "I'll meet you there, i just have to go get something."
"O...k?" Kagome said as she watched Ami run off in a different direction. Shrugging to herself Kagome headed off to the tree for lunch.
Upon arriving to the tree Kagome found, not her three friends as she expected but Hojo sitting on a picnic blanket. As Kagome was about to leave and go find her friends to yell at them, Hojo turned and saw her, his face lighting up. Kagome squared her shoulders and walked the rest of the way to Hojo and sat on the blanket as far from him as she could.
"Hi Kagome!" Hojo greeted enthusiastically.
"Hi." Kagome muttered as she glared at the blanket. "When are the girls coming?"
"Oh! Well, they're not. It's just us today." Hojo said rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly and blushing.
Kagome rolled her eyes and muttered "Figures. Stupid meddling, idiotic..."
"Umm... well I have a lunch for us, Kagome." Hojo said as he smiled brightly.
"I have my own." Kagome said as she took her lunch out and started eating, ignoring Hojo and his crestfallen look.
"Oh, well, OK then. Maybe next time we can share." Hojo said as he started eating.
"No thanks." Kagome muttered. Hojo it seemed didn't hear this and kept on chatting to Kagome brightly.
"Hey Kagome, how was lunch?" Yuka asked slyly when she sat down next to Kagome in the class after lunch.
"Did you guys do that on purpose?" Kagome asked
"Yep!" Ayumi exclaimed excitedly not noticing Kagome's eye twitching in irritation.
"So how did your date go?" Eri asked bouncing on her seat.
"It didn't." Kagome deadpaned and proceeded to ignore her friends for the remainder of the day.
The next week continued much the same, with her friends trying to set her up with Hojo and Kagome getting more and more angry at their actions, but refusing to talk to them or Hojo. As Kagome walked towards her last class of the day; P.E she heard someone running behind her and calling her name.
"Kagome!" Kagome ignored the person and continued to class where she quickly changed into her uniform and got her bow and arrow ready for the lesson to begin.
"Hey, Kagome, didn't you hear me calling you?" Hojo panted as he stopped next to her.
"No." was her simple answer as she looked around the grounds.
"OH!"Hojo exclaimed. "That's OK, you must have been further than I thought. Your still doing archery are you? That's OK, I'm still doing sword, Im not very good, but that's OK, we don't have to be good, right?"
"Shouldn't you be getting changed?" Kagome asked as she hid a smirk at Hojo's assumption that she was still doing archery because she wasn't good at it.
"Oh yeah! Thanks Kagome, your the best!" Hojo exclaimed and leaned forward giving her a quick kiss on the lips before she realised what he had planned. Kagome stood there stunned at what had happened until she heard three identical squeals of delight from nearby. Turning she saw Ami, Yuka and Ayumi.
"Did you guys tell him to do that?" Kagome demanded angrily.
"Yep!" Ami admitted happily
"Why?" Kagome demanded, barely keeping from yelling at them.
"Because you keep ignoring him!" Yuka yelled.
"Did you ever think that it might have been because I didn't like him like that?!" Kagome demanded.
"He's the hottest, coolest, nicest guy at school! what's not to like!" they screeched in shock
"Ladies please, I've asked you before not to do that." Kouga winced as he walked past rubbing his ears. "Alright you lot! get your Asses over here and listen. We have a new student coming today, hopefully he's not as pathetic as you lot, but I don't hold out much hope. You will be respectful and welcome him, got it?" Kouga growled before dismissing the class to their activities. Kouga stalked over to Kagome as she stood pretending to not be able to shoot an arrow properly.
"You OK?" Kagome asked softly as she focused.
"Yeah, these brats just annoy me." Kouga muttered
"Do you know anything about the new student?" Kagome asked shooting another arrow, making it barely hit the target.
"Not a damn thing. It's like they just came out of no where, or I'm just not being given the details." Kouga answered angrily, scowling at the other students.
KNOCK KNOCK
"Great they're here."Kouga muttered angrily as he stomped over to the door and exited to speak with the new student.
"I wonder what the new students like." Yuka asked coming over to Kagome
"I hope its a guy." Ayumi said walking over with Ami.
"A hot guy" Ami said blushing.
"What the Fuck?!" Kouga exclaimed
