Chapter 4 Kagome
We were walking home from school Suka, Ayumi, Yuka, Eri and I. They were chattering about the latest gossip. But for some reason the only thing I could think about was Inuyasha and Hojo. What happens if Inuyasha comes to get me while I'm on my date with Hojo? What happens if he comes to get me before my date, will Hojo be okay with that? I don't know if Hojo will just let it go this time, will he? Will Souta tell Inuyasha who I'm out with? How will Suka Handle Inuyasha if he shows up? Will she get hurt? 'I'm starting to dread tonight!' I thought.
Wait speaking of Suka, she was really quiet. I looked over at her she looked… paranoid, like she would karate-chop the first person to tap her shoulder. I whispered to her, "Suka, are you alright?" She jumped a little at my sudden readiness to communicate. I gave her a soft smile and she returned it.
"I'm Fine."
"Good", I gave her a brighter smile.
She gave a tired sigh, "So who's this hottie you're going out with tonight?"
Suddenly everybody was looking at me.
"Yes Kagome, who is it you're going out with tonight?" Eri asked with the hurt evident in her voice. 'Oh crap, they're mad I didn't tell them!' a blush started to creep into my cheeks, I could feel it.
"Um, it's nobody just, umm, Hojo?" Eri and Yuka gasped, and then quickly turned around. "That's great Kagome!" Ayumi smiled, not really sure about what was going on.
"Wait is something wrong, about him?" Suka asked.
Yuka turned around, "Well?"
"Well? Well what?"
"Hojo hasn't exactly been himself lately."
"What do you mean?"
"For starters he's been hanging around Hinata Saitou; he's a real bad influence on Hojo. Hojo has even started skipping classes and vandalizing school property."
Suka grunted a little, "Even I've ditched class I couple of times. How bad is the vandalism?"
"He and Hinata bashed in the windows of our principle's car!"
"Oh... yeah, that- that's pretty bad!"
"Well, there is no proof but everyone knows they did it!" turning back around.
I was devastated there's no way Hojo would do that, although he was acting really different today in school. 'Wow I'm really starting to dread tonight!' I thought.
"When did they start hanging out?" I asked.
"Oh not long after the last time he asked you to the movies?" Yuka said.
Suka smirked and I could practically hear her thoughts 'Dating Advice!' I rolled my eyes but could she be right? I was always standing him up, 'Poor Hojo, now I feel really bad! And he was always so nice.'
"Well, so what you date a bad boy for a couple of weeks. And …I straighten him out when you're done!" Suka said in a teasing tone. I sarcastically gasped at her, my blush returning. We all laughed at that one.
"But wait I thought you didn't like guys?" I asked being almost serious.
"It's not that I don't like guys, it's that I don't like guys who like me." Suka answered.
"That doesn't make any sense…"
She thought for a second then said, "Perverts, I don't like perverts. You know?"
I completely understood, 'Miroku' I instantly thought. "Yeah, meeeee too!"
"Yeah, same here"
"Same"
"Same"
After that we laughed a little longer and went back to our gossiping.
