A/N: Sorry, I was rather busy, with trying to do all sorts of things at one time...so that's why it takes so long for me to update.

Chapter Five: Koga and Kikyou

Her mouth was still in that frozen smile as she stalked over to her locker and shoved her books back in. "Um...Kagome...Are you okay? You're kind of...freaking me out with that smile..." Sango asked softly, leaning on the lockers next to Kagome's.

Kagome ground her teeth together in what was now a scowl. Sango swallowed nervously, feeling a bit scared, something only Kagome could be capable of doing to her. Kagome scared the hell out of Sango when she was mad, and Sango couldn't deny it.

"Alright...so I'll see you at lunch, then." Sango had barely muttered the words before she turned and scampered away wisely. Kagome looked like she was about to explode, her face was so red with anger.

How dare he say that she was his! She wasn't a possesion to stake a claim on! 'He has some nerve, indeed!' Kagome thought furiously.

Time went by quickly when she forgot about her recent claim on her when she was in English class. Sure, she could have taken Spanish, or some other language, but English fasinated her for some strange reason. Her teacher, Mr. Naraku, had a very good accent in English. You wouldn't even realize he was really Japanese for a while.

And then lunch came. Sango hurried to catch up with her at her locker. "Hey...um...Kagome, would you mind if we sat with Miroku and Inuyasha today? Miroku wanted me to and..." Kagome was silent the whole time, listening to Sango talk as she shut her locker.

"...I wanted you to sit with me too. It would be nice to have a girl to talk to also." Kagome smiled at Sango, and nodded. "Alright, I'll join you," Sango's face lit up and she practically dragged Kagome to the lunch room. 'The things I do for people...' Kagome sighed.

"Hey Miroku, Inuyasha," Sango said cheerfully as she sat down, Kagome, not looking at Inuyasha, sat down next to her. Inuyasha rolled his eyes at Miroku, who was laughing silently. "Hey Sango," Inuyasha mumbled, and not too soon after that there was a smacking sound.

"Gods, Miroku, you really need to stop that," Inuyasha chuckled. "Or you'll most likely be dead in a couple days."

Miroku sighed dreamily. "It's worth it, my friend...it's worth it." Sango shook her fist in Miroku's face, daring him to say more. "So how was your day today, guys?" Sango asked, after lowering her fist.

"Keh. Very hectic." Inuyasha growled, eyeing Kagome. She finally turned to look at him. "It wasn't my fault," Kagome muttered, teeth clenched once more, her eyes narrowed at Inuyasha.

"Um, what are you guys talking about?" Miroku asked cluelessly, looking back and forth to Inuyasha and Kagome. "Nothing." They answered at the same time, blushing and looking away.

"Why hello, Kagome," A familiar voice said, leaning down to kiss Kagome on the cheek. "The hell--" She turned sharply, to see Koga face to face. "Koga?! What the fuck are you doing here?!" Inuyasha snarled. Koga looked up. "Oh, muttface, it's you. Just coming to say hi to my woman,"

Kagome closed her eyes, taking a deep breath to calm herself. "I'm not your woman," She said coldly. Koga merely smirked and looked back at her. "Keep thinking that, Kagome. You know you're mine."

"But I just met you!"

He shrugged, and started walking away. Kagome turned to face everyone again. "Some day I am going to murder that guy in his sleep." Inuyasha snorted, causing her to look sharply at him.

"Do you think this is funny?!"

"Nah, I would want to help you, that's all."

Kagome was speechless for the rest of lunch.

Finally, peace and quiet in her own house. The phone started ringing as she tossed her school bag on the couch. 'I spoke too soon.' Kagome thought irritably as she picked it up. "Hello?"

"Hey Kagome!" Kagome was once again speechless.

"...You there?"

"Kikyou?!" A loud giggle came from the other end. "Yeah, it's me!"

"I haven't heard from you since forever!"

"I know! I saw your number in a phone book, and I just had to call!"

Kagome laughed right on the phone. It seemed like something Kikyou would be doing to pass time.

"Anyway, so what's life like in your new house?"

"Well, I have some new great friends...but one that's not-so-great. He's kind of...rude,"

"Oh, I hate those kind of people. What's his name?" Kikyou actually sounded genually(sp?) curious. Quite a new characteristic for her to have.

"Um, it's a strange name...his name's Inuyasha."

The line went silent on the other end.

"Kikyou?" Kikyou sighed.

"I know him. He was...my boyfriend. But we broke up..." Kagome gasped.

"Really? That's...I'm so sorry, Kikyou."

"It's okay." Kagome swallowed for a moment, considering telling Kikyou. 'Eh, heck with it.'

"I live next to him."

"I'm so sorry for you, Kagome. He must be a pain in the ass." Kagome laughed once again. Whenever Kikyou cursed, she said it so strangely it made Kagome laugh all the time.

"Oh, and I have a stalker. He claims I'm his and won't leave me alone."

"Hm. I don't have any comment for that. Perhaps we can get together sometime, like you come over?"

Kagome thought this over.

"Why don't you come over to my house sometime?"

"...I'd rather not risk running into Inuyasha again. Uh...I gotta go. Bye!"

"...Bye." Kagome hung up the phone and sighed. So Kikyou was Inuyasha's ex? Kagome had known Kikyou had been going out with someone...but she never knew who.

Kikyou and Kagome had been best friends ever since she could remember. But when her mother died, they just didn't see each other anymore. It felt like Kagome's life had been changed altogether.

But it was for the best, right?
