Chapter 16. Truth Behind The Lies

~KAG POV~

I trudged into school with my backpack slung heavily over my shoulder. It was weighed down heavily with all my school books and notebooks. I tried to hide a yawn as I continued to walk to my locker.

My eyelids felt like they had boulders pulling them down, telling them to close and for me to sleep. I yawned sleepily and pulled a piece of gum out of my pocket and popped it into my mouth- hoping it would wake me up.

I searched into my back pocket and dug out my schedule. I re-read it over and over again. I knew my classes and my class schedule, but I didn't know where my classes where. And I wasn't going to be that kid who gets lost on his way to class and then shows up halfway through it, stuttering and blushing as all the other kids stare at you while your face turns read.

I frowned as I continued to stare at it. "Class number 37 huh?" I muttered to myself.

"Having a hard time? C'mon princess. Your smarter then a piece of paper. Don't hurt yourself." Came a masculine voice somewhere behind me.

I grinned at my schedule. "Are you speaking from experience InuYasha?" I flicked my eyes over to him. He had somehow caught up to me in the hallway without me noticing.

"Hey, that was cheap shot." He crossed his arms over his chest.

"Awww you poor baby. Being picked on by a girl. And here you are being such a weak demon." I gave him fake sympathy and I started to giggle as a slight smile formed on his lips.

He shook his head. "And besides, you don't need to worry. We basically have all the same classes. So I'll walk you to class. Ok?"

I nodded and smiled in appreciation. "Thanks."

He grabbed my arm brought it up so I was holding on to him as we continued to walk. "This way madam." He said in a rich voice. I giggled as he 'escorted' me down the hallway.

We walked up the stairwell and down another hallway until we came to the computer room. A handful of teens were already assembled in the room waiting for the teacher to arrive. The bell signaling that class would start wouldn't ring for about five more minuets. I slipped out of InuYasha's grasp and walked over to two empty computer seats and sat down. Naturally, InuYasha glided up behind me and sat down next to me.

"So," he adjusted himself so his body was turned toward me, "wheres your boyfriend on this fine day? Don't tell me that he abandoned you." He brought his hand up to his mouth and pretend to be shocked.

"Shut up!" I pushed him on the arm and laughed. "He's out today. The elders of his tribe said they needed him for a mission or something. He should be back tomorrow."

He nodded. "Oh."

"Yea. Anyways, this weekend he's taking me to an amusement park for a date." I fidgeted with my hands but tried to look confident.

"A…a date?" He asked.

"Well…yea. I mean he's my boyfriend so I thought maybe I should go on a date with him sometime." I laughed nervously.

"Yea? Well maybe I should take someone out for a date to." He shrugged.

My chest ached with an un-known feeling when he'd said that but I forced a smile. "Yea. You should." He raised his eyebrow. "Do you have anyone in mind?" I asked. I hoped it wasn't kikyo. No. I prayed it wasn't Kikyo.

He reclined in his chair. "Nope. But I doubt anyone can resist this face." He smiled and one of his ears twitched.

I rolled my eyes and pretend to gag. He laughed and the bell rang. Our teacher walked into the computer lab and shut the door behind him.

"Alright people," He sat down at the desk that was in the front of the room and looked over all of us. "I hope your comfortable because the seat your sitting in will be your seat for the rest of the semester. Im to lazy to assign seats. And so the person sitting next to you will be your new seat buddy."

Everyone smiled and a few people laughed. I turned in my seat to see InuYasha smirking at me. "What?" I asked.

He nudged me in the arm. "Your my seat buddy."

"Your an Idiot." I rolled my eyes and giggled and turned my attention back to our teacher.

xXx

I walked into my next class that was french with InuYasha hot on my heels. Teens were gathered at the front of the room looking at a piece of paper with our seats on it. After InuYasha and I found our seats, I sat down at my table seat. InuYasha's seat was was across the room from mine.

I took out my notebook from my backpack and started doodling random things. I glanced up from when I noticed some shuffling and the placement of books in the seat next to mine.

"Hello Kagome."

I smiled and shut my notebook. "Hello Onigumo."

He sat down and turned his body toward mine. "Please, call me Naraku." He smiled, showing off his abnormally white teeth.

I nodded. "Ok. Naraku."

He smiled at the use of his name. I flicked my gaze off his face to see InuYasha on the edge of his chair glaring daggers and the back of Narku's head. His eyes flicked to mine and his they narrowed. I looked back to Naraku who had his head cocked to the side.

"I see InuYasha has taken notice of me." He smirked knowingly. "Tell me," He folded his hands in his lap and leaned forward toward me. "How is he?"

My eyes darted back to InuYasha who had his ears twitching forward on us, listening in on our conversation. "He's…fine I guess."

His smile grew. "Thats good. And how are you?"

I was taken back by his question. "Um..Im fine."

He nodded. "Thats good. Im glad your feeling well. I would hate it if you weren't well."

I stared at the ground and blushed. "Uh, thank you."Was he being serious? Only InuYasha and Koga really ever cared about my well being.

"Of course." He beamed.

I tucked my hair behind my ear and turned toward the front of the room. Our teacher walked into the room and started class. The minuets ticked by slowly as I tapped my foot and I began to work on a french worksheet we were assigned. I felt someone tap my shoulder and I looked up from my assignment.

Naraku was smiling at me and I smiled back. "Yea? What is it?"

"I have a question about number seven." He said with this really confused and puzzled look on his face.

I blew my bangs out of my face. "Oh. Well this was my answer." I pushed the piece of paper toward him so he could see. He looked it over and smiled at me.

"Thank you. Your really smart you know." He winked and looked me over.

I blushed and ran a hand through my hair out of nervous habit. "Oh well I'm not that smart. I had taken french all three years that I was at my old school. This is easy stuff."

He chuckled and turned back to his assignment. I glanced up at the clock to see how many more minuets had passed as sighed sadly when only six minuets had gone by. How disappointing. InuYasha suddenly raised his notebook and pointed to the words on it in an angry way. It read : Kagome, Don't flirt with him!

I scoffed and rolled my eyes and wrote down in my notebook and brought it up to him so he could see. Im not! Stop acting like a jealous jerk!

He shook his head and went back to working on his assignment. I glanced at Naraku who was completely oblivious to InuYasha's and my note sharing. I rested my chin on my hand and continued to write down answers, hoping the time would pass quickly.

xXx

"...for the last time InuYasha! I was not flirting and I will not flirt with Naraku." I stomped toward my next class with very angry half-demon glowering next to me. He hadn't stopped talking about Naraku since he had talked to me in french.

He scoffed at my statement. "Yea but I could totally tell he was flirting with you. I could sniff out his intensions." He crossed is arms over his chest and grunted.

"He was just being nice. He doesn't like me like that." I insisted. He shrugged it off and we walked into the broadcasting room. Naraku noticed me as I walked into the room and got a huge smile on his face and waved for me to sit next to him.

InuYasha leaned down next to my ear and whispered, "Now what were you saying again about how he doesn't like you like that?"

I groaned inwardly and sighed. I walked over to Naraku with InuYasha following behind me like a cautious bodyguard. In a way, he was my bodyguard.

"Hey." I sat down next to him and InuYasha sat down next to me, as close as he could get.

He nodded. "Hello to you as well. Im so pleased we have a lot of classes together. I was afraid I would never see you during the day." He winked and InuYasha hissed. I shoved my hand under the table over to InuYasha's leg and I pinched his thigh so he would get the hint and shut up. He grabbed my hand and held onto it. I didn't let go.

"Well thats nice. Im glad too." I grinned.

He smiled at me and then turned to InuYasha. "Hello. You must be InuYasha. Ive heard a lot about you."

InuYasha snorted. "Keh'. Of course you have." I pinched his hand and he grabbed my wrist so I would stop.

"InuYasha be nice!" I hissed in his ear.

InuYasha completely ignored me. "So your the pathetic guy who had sex with kikyo while we were dating." He leaned forward so he could get into Naraku's face. "What? Are you so sad that you can't find your own girlfriend and you have to steal someone else's?" He sneered. Naraku flinched and a look of anger and pure hatred filled his eyes. But, with a few quick breaths, it faded away quickly.

"I didn't have any recollection that she had a boyfriend at the time. She never told me of such things. And for that, I am deeply sorry. I apologize."

I rubbed InuYasha's arm, trying to calm him. "See he didn't know." I said positively. "It was a simple mistake and an accident." I wanted InuYasha to believe Naraku was innocent when it came to the past.

InuYasha simply scoffed and looked away from Naraku and myself. I rubbed my thumb on InuYasha's palm and he rubbed back. I turned to Naraku and smiled kindly.

"Oh Inu'-baby, don't be so harsh on Naraku. He didn't know anything about you at the time." Kikyo boasted as she walked into the broadcasting room, eyeing InuYasha like he was her pray.

Kikyo was wearing a black mini skirt and a sparkly pink tank top. She walked over to where we were all sitting and I noticed she was wearing heels. I eyed her and she sneered back at me before she turned her full attention to InuYasha.

"Your looking good today Kikyo." InuYasha offered politely.

I swallowed and turned away from them, pretending I wasn't listening or that I didn't give a rats ass about their conversation. In reality, my ears were trained on every word they said.

Kikyo giggled. "Thank you Inu. Anyway, how are you? I missed you. What'd did you do this weekend?"

InuYasha shrugged. "I was at a friends, hanging out. Nothing special."

My eyes widened but I didn't turn to look at them. Instead, I simply ripped my hand out of InuYasha's and placed it into my lap. My head dropped slightly and I let my hair make a curtain between myself and them.

How could he say that? What? Was I the 'nothing special' to him? I knew I was his friend and thats all we would ever be, but how could he say that? I mean…I thought what we did this weekend was special.

Kikyo sat on the table top in front of InuYasha so her knees were pressed up against him. "Oh. Well maybe next weekend you and I should get together and hangout. What do you say? We haven't hung out together in forever."

Naraku had his chin resting in his hand as he wrote in his notebook, but I could tell he was paying just as much attention to their conversation as I was. I guess I wasn't the only one who cared about what they had to say.

"Sure. Id love to." InuYasha smiled and Kikyo squealed like a new born piglet.

I let myself peek at them out of the corner of my eye. My hair was making a screen but I could see through the gaps. InuYasha had his hand placed on Kikyo's knee and she was rubbing it affectionately.

My cheeks grew hot as I suddenly became angry. I was angry that he was touching her in that way. I was any that he just pushed me to the side so easily. And I was angry because it seemed like he didn't even care. I became so angry, I balled my hands into small, tight fists. My nails dug into the flesh of my palms and tears of anger started to form in my eyes. I took a deep breath and stood up.

I walked away from the table and toward our teacher who was working on some paper work before we would start our class. I asked to be excused to go to the bathroom and she agreed. I grabbed the hall pass and took one last glance at InuYasha and Kikyo who were laughing at acting all buddy-buddy with each other. It seemed like InuYasha didn't even notice I had left or was leaving. I huffed and turned around on my heels and walked out of the class and down the hallway.

I was so angry and mad. I was fuming. But the further down the hallway I went, the more steam I let out, the more sad I became. I stopped walking in front of a large window with a bench placed under it and I allowed myself to sit down. I sighed and stared out the window. The wind was blowing pretty hard and I watched as a plastic bag, flew through the air and get caught in a low hanging tree branch. I bit my lower lip and stared numbly out the glass.

"Kagome?"

My head snapped away from the window in the direction of the voice. "Naraku..what…what are you doing here?"

Naraku had both of his hands placed in his front pockets and was walking toward me slowly. "I saw what just happened in there." He sat down next to me and looked me in the eyes. "Are you ok?" He asked slowly.

I swallowed and nodded my head sadly. "Yea. Just perfect." My head drooped down and I stared at the tiled flooring.

I heard him sighed and adjust himself on the wooden bench. "Its hard loving something you cant have, isn't it?"

My eyes bugged out of my head and I took in a sharp breath. I lifted my head slowly and narrowed my eyes on his face. "What do you mean?"

He looked outside as he spoke. "Watching someone you love, live their life and pass you by, and knowing you cant have them. Its probably the worst feeling in the world." He had a look on his face that looked like he was speaking from experience.

"I don't love him." I stated. I stared at a wall across from the bench. I knew he knew who I was talking about.

He cocked his head to the side as he watched the outside world. "No. I suppose you don't. You have your boyfriend." I blinked slowly.

"Yes. I do. And he's the one I…" I stopped in mid sentence. Because I just couldn't. I couldn't lie. I couldn't lie anymore! Not even to Naraku or InuYasha. Not even myself. And most importantly- Koga.

"I don't love Koga." I whispered. I said it as if it was a new discovery.

Naraku nodded. "I know you don't. You love InuYasha. I understand."

I shook my head. "No. I don't love InuYasha. I never have."

He finally turned to me and looked me in the eyes. "Kagome, I know its none of my business who you love and who you don't love, but it seems to me you do have some feelings for him."

I flicked my eyes up to the ceiling just so I didnt have to look at him. "No. None at all. He means nothing. Not in that way at least."

He nodded. "Hmmm. I see." He stood up from the bench. "Well perhaps its a good thing that you don't. I saw how he treated you in there today. You don't deserve that."

Was he right? A small part of me was yelling and screaming at me that, that was a lie. It screamed and yelled that InuYasha did care about me and that he would never hurt me like that intentionally. But another part of me was telling me that Naraku was right. Inuyasha said that I was 'nothing special.' He wouldn't say that unless he didn't care. Maybe I was all wrong about InuYasha.

I stood up next to him. "Your right. I don't deserve that."

Naraku smiled and grabbed my hand and squeezed. "Exactly. Your to special to have someone treat you like a toy."

"You really think so?" I asked in a quiet shy voice.

He nodded. "Really I do. Your special Kagome. Don't let anyone tell you any different."

I pushed my bangs out of my face. "Thanks Naraku."

He smiled down to me and our eyes locked. And then he did something I couldn't have seen coming in a million years.

He kissed me.

Just like that. It was like lightning. Quick. So quick, you'd almost say it never happened. Just a small peck. A kiss you would give if you were a small child and you were giving a goodnight kiss to your parents or grandparents. No tongue.

He pulled away from my lips and smiled. "Your welcome. Now lets get back to class." He hauled me down the hallway. My mind was completely and utterly blank except for the kiss. Us kissing. Our lips touching. Our mouths pressed against each others. The list went on.

As Naraku continued to walk me down the hallway, I brought my spare hand up to my lips and touched them, as if I would still be able to feel his mouth on mine. I should have confronted him about it. Asked him why he had kissed me and what he thought about our relationship, but before I could say anything we arrived at our classroom. Naraku held on to my hand as we entered the room.

The whole class had their eyes trained on us. Their eyes would flow down to our interlocked hands and then back up to our faces- as if they would find the reasoning behind why we were holding hands and what exactly happened in the hallway that they missed. I looked around the room at all of the pairs of eyes, and finally ended on a pair of golden ones.

His eyes were narrowed on my face. He looked mad and I could tell he was snarling. He had a textbook and a piece of paper between himself and Kikyo and I deducted that they were partners. Kikyo suddenly leaned over to him and whispered in his ear. He didn't take his eyes off mine and he answered her question about whatever it was that they were talking about.

"It so good of you to join us you two." Our teacher said as she stood up from her desk and walked over to us. I took the opportunity to wiggle my hand out of Naraku's grasp.

Naraku nodded his head at her. "Yes. Kagome and I caught up with each other in the hallway and walked back together."

Our brunette teacher smiled. "Ok. Well it seems you two are the last people without partners so I guess ill just pair you up with each other for your project."

"Ok. Sounds good. What do we need to work on?" Naraku asked. Our teacher started walking toward a camera that looked like it could be used for filming.

"Well I need two people to go around the school and have interviews on daily school life and activities with students and teachers. Then we will broadcast it in the morning every friday. Do you two think you will be up for it?"

Naraku nodded and I found myself nodding along with him. Our teacher smiled. "Great! Let me show you how to use this baby." She said as she gestured toward the camera. Naraku leaned over he shoulder and watched her intently as she explained how to use the expensive machinery. I glanced over my shoulder to see InuYasha talking to Kikyo but staring at me. I blinked at him numbly before I looked back at our teacher who was still explaining how to use the camera.

I felt his eyes on my body and my back, but I didn't turn around. I wouldn't let myself. I was to confused.

xXx

After broadcasting had ended, I had geometry. And it was the only class InuYasha and I didn't have together. I was surprisingly happy that I could breathe for about forty-five minuets. Well that was before I realized Naraku had Geometry as well. But I got a lucky break when he was assigned a seat next to Kikyo and not me.

The whole class period they were talking in hushed tones and I wondered when they had become friends. Naraku had smiled at me few times when he caught me staring. I wasn't staring at him for another reason besides that I wanted to know what he and Kikyo were talking about.

When Geometry finally ended I rushed out of the classroom and down the hall toward lunch. I weaved in and out of teens and demons who were walking like two mile per hour. I rolled my eyes and walked trough the door and into the lunchroom.

"Kagome!" I stopped walking and turned around and smiled as Sango ran to catch up to me.

"Hey. Were should we sit?" I asked.

She tapped her chin. "How about with InuYasha and Miroku?" I bit my lip and looked at the floor. She noticed and eyed me. "Did something happen between you and InuYasha…again?"

I grabbed her upper am and dragged her into and are where none else could listen in on our conversation. I looked around to make sure we were safe and took a deep breath. "Narakukissedme." I spluttered out in a hushed tone. Her eyes dubbed in size and she brought her hand up to her mouth.

"Oh god. InuYasha must be so angry. No wonder you don't want to sit with him."

I shook my head. "He doesn't know. I don't want him to know. Im only telling you because your my best friend and I can trust you. Just please don't tell him. Or Koga." I said in a quiet tone. I really hoped no one overheard our conversation.

She shook her head frantically. "Of course I wouldn't tell! If I had a secret like that I would tell you and know that you wouldn't tell anyone else." I smiled at our tight friendship as she grabbed her backpack strap and twisted her foot on the ground awkwardly. "So how...how did it happen? Like…why did he kiss you? Does he like you now?"

I shrugged. "I have no idea. We were talking in the hallway because InuYasha was flirting with Kikyo and I got jealous and he was trying to calm me down and-" Sango held up a hand to stop me.

"Hold the phone and stop the press. Let me get this straight. You were…jealous? Of InuYasha?" She stared at me with a wild look in her eyes and then slowly a smile spread across her face. "Ohhhh so you got jealous huh?" She winked two times in a suggestive way.

I groaned and threw my head back. "No not in a 'I'm jealous that your talking to her because I secretly love you' kind of way. I was mad the he said that I was nothing special."

Her eyebrows came together and her eyes narrowed on me. "Are you sure he said that? That doesn't sound like him."

"Im sure, sure. And I know it doesn't. Thats why I was so angry. And then all of a sudden Naraku came in and kisses me."

She raised one eyebrow. "Tongue?"

"None. It was quick. A peck."

"Yea but a kiss is still a kiss."

"I know. Why do you think I'm still freaking out?" I moved my head to crack the knot in my neck when I saw InuYasha push his way into the cafeteria with Miroku right behind him. InuYasha scanned the whole lunchroom until his eyes stopped on me. He whispered into Miroku's ear and Miroku nodded and walked away and sat down at an empty lunch table while InuYasha started to shuffle over to where Sango and I are huddled together. His face was hard as stone.

"Shit. He looks pissed." I whispered.

"Yea he does. Do you think he knows?" Sango whispered back.

"Dunno. But I think I'm about to find out."

InuYasha marched over to us and practically pushed Sango out of the way to stand and tower over me.

"Well this has been fun." She laughed nervously. "Im gonna go join Miroku. Bye." Sango started to walk away but she turned around and gave me a sympathetic look and then turned back around and went over to sit with Miroku.

I swallowed a huge lump in my throat and I looked up into InuYasha's eyes. They were blazing with such intensity it made me take a step backward.

"Hi," I squeaked.

"Hi." He grunted.

"So…um..whats up?" I asked casually, trying to lighten the dark mood.

He clenched his fists together. "What did you and Naraku do in the hallway while you two were alone? Tell me."

"Nothing. We just talked is all. Really."

He walked forward and forced me to back up into a wall. "Don't lie to me. I could smell that something was up when you guys came back into the room. What the hell did he do to you?"

Judging from the last time InuYasha's inner demon had reacted, I knew that I shouldn't tell him. If InuYasha's inner demon could go berserk on me just for joking around, then I couldn't possibly imagine what would happen if I told him Naraku kissed me. He would go into a possessed and frenzied state of mind.

"We just talked. Honestly." I looked into his eyes and I hoped that he couldn't tell I was lying.

InuYasha moved forward and pressed his hands up on either side of the wall I was backed into- trapping me. He stared down at me and I was forced to look in his eyes. My heart pounded and my breathing became shallow and labored as I realized the close proximity between us.

"Kagome, were you mad at me earlier in broadcasting? Is that why you left?" He asked softly, his voice just slightly above a whisper.

I tried to look anywhere else but his face and his honeyed eyes, but they were hypnotic. I found myself being entranced by them. "Well..sort of. I was mad at you because you told Kikyo I was nothing special. Remember?" I looked down at my shoes in sadness.

He suddenly put his hand under my chin and raised my head so I was looking at him again. "Kagome I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about Miroku. Miroku and I hung out on saturday and it was like another boring day. Nothing special. I didn't want to talk to Kikyo about sunday because she would have flipped a tit. I mean its Kikyo we're talking' about."

I snorted and giggled softly. His face lit up at my laughter and continued. "I would never ever say you were nothing special. Kagome your one of the most special people I now. Kagome your so…" He stopped and a slight brushed creeped up on his face. "You know what you are. Your my little Princess." He took his hand out from under my chin and rested it on his hip. For some reason I found this action to be very sexy and suddenly I remembered how close our body's were to each other. He looked down on my face and I brushed my hair away from my eyes.

He suddenly narrowed his eyes suspiciously but his smile widened in satisfaction. "Were…were you jealous?"

My head snapped back over towards him so fast you'd think I got whiplash. "Huh? Jealous?"

He nodded and grinned childishly. "Yea jealous. Of me and Kikyo earlier today. You were jealous."

My eyes widened and I shook my head. "No. I was not!" I denied.

"HA! You were jealous! Admit it!" He pointed a sharp claw at my face as I blushed. "I caught you. You were jealous." He smirked and put both hands on his hips but still loomed over my body.

"Oh what do you know? I was not! I was mad because…because…" I struggled, fighting to find a good enough excuse.

"Because, because? Because what?" He smirked. He was toying with me. A tom and jerry cartoon came to mind. He was the big bad 'putty tat' and I was the mouse he was pursuing. Ok so wrong cartoon reference but you get the idea. He was playing with me like I was a little mouse. And he was enjoying it. I wasn't.

"Because she's just….argh!" My hands flew up and I pushed my way around a gut laughing InuYasha. I marched over to where Sango and Miroku were sting watching all of this happen and I sat down. InuYasha's laughter became increasingly louder as he walked toward our table. He sat down next to me as I scowled at him.

Miroku cocked his eyebrow. "Whats so funny?"

InuYasha sniffed and whipped an imaginary tear from his eye as he turned to me and smirked. "Princess is jealous. I think the Princess has been in the market for a new Prince."

My eye twitched. Miroku and Sango had matching confused looks on their faces. "Princess? Who's princes?" Miroku asked.

InuYasha shrugged. "Just some girl. Who is in love with a fucking handsome, smart, incredibly intelligent, wonderful, magnificent,"

"Delusional." I added in.

Inuyasha nodded. "yes, yes delusional, aweso- hey!" He growled.

Miroku, Sango and I all started crack up as InuYasha's face became red.

xXx

After lunch we all had theater for our next block. So, Miroku, Sango, InuYasha and I all walked down to the theatre together. We sat down in the back of the auditorium. We all talked about school life and other boring junk while we waited for class to start. InuYasha and I started to talk about what we wanted to do when we graduated high school. I told him how mom and gramps wanted me start and run my own shrine, but that I wanted to become a newspaper editor instead. He told me how much his father wanted him to join the family company and how much he didn't want to. He told me that he wanted to open up his own car garage and fix and repair cars. I smiled and told him that his dream was a good one and that he should stick with it.

"You really think so? I mean do you thin I could really pull it off?" He asked and I nodded.

"Totally. You should always stick with your dreams." I grabbed his hand and rubbed my thumb over his hand reassuringly and he grinned.

"Thanks Princess."

I rolled my eyes. "Just doing my royal duties." I joked and Inuyasha snorted.

Kikyo decided that, that was the perfect time to walk up to InuYasha and stand next to his chair. I frowned. "Yea Inu-baby I love your idea and everything but I think you should go with your dads offer. I mean he is tokyo's biggest and hottest business tycoon."

I glared at Kikyo and InuYasha opened his mouth to say something, but I cut him off. "Kikyo, This is an 'A' and 'B' conversation so 'C' your way out of it before 'D' jumps over 'E' and F's you up like a 'G'…" I smirked when InuYasha's and Kikyo's jaw's dropped simultaneously.

Kikyo's eyes narrowed and she began to seethe. "You little bitch."

Her comment only made my smirk grow. "Oh I'm sorry. Did I offend you? If I did, it was purely intentional."

She growled and put her hands on her hips. "You..you.."

I raised a hand to stop her. "Don't hurt yourself. I know all that thinking is bad for your brain. When they were handing out brains, they ran out of them so all you got was a brick."

InuYasha started laughing and his laughter only fueled my fire. Kiky crossed her arms and stomped like a three year old. "Fuck you!"

I smiled up at her. "Kikyo, nothing you say could offend me. Im just glad your stringing words into sentences now..."

InuYasha dubled over and Kikyo growled and stomped away from us and out of the theatre with Kagura and Tsubaki on her tail.

Miorku rubbed my shoulder and smiled. "That was amazing. Your a little spitfire aren't you?"

I shrugged. "Im only like that when I really need to be." Miroku nodded and Sango smiled up at me. She gave me a high five and laughed at the angry faces Kikyo had made.

"Damn Kagome that was amazing. How did you know all of those impressive comebacks?" InuYasha wondered.

I shrugged. "Little brothers can be annoy from time to time. But when you need to come up with good comebacks on the fly, brother's are the best for that."

Sango nodded in agreement. "I know what you mean."

The auditorium door opened to revel Kikyo and her cronies walk back into the auditorium. Kikyo looked super pissed at me but I really didn't care. I smirked and turned my attention back to the stage where our teacher was walking out on. My eyebrows came together in confusion as I realized what our teacher was wearing. He (...or was it a she?) was wearing a light pink shirt with a green flower pattern on it and a black cardigan over it. I stared harder and realized the clothes he was wearing were..were girls clothes!

'Why the hell is he wearing girls clothing? Is he confused or something?'

He flounced up the stage and stopped down center so we could all see him. He clapped his hands together and smiled "Im so glad to see all of my pretty lovelies out here today. My name is Jakotsu Rengie. But you all may call me Jakotsu."

Sango tilted her head to the side. "He's kinda cute." She said as she studied him.

InuYasha and Miroku started to snort and laugh beside us and I looked over to sango who just shrugged in confusion. "Whats so funny?" I asked.

InuYasha shook his head. "He's gay."

Sango's eyebrows came together. "Really?"

Miroku nodded. "Yea. Can't you tell?"

I cocked my head to the side as I watched Jakotsu smile at all of us, his eyes sparkled like they held pixie dust or something. I rubed my chin."Huh. I couldn't tell. It was kind of hard to tell actually."

Jakotsu rubbed his hands together and eyed us. "Were going to get started right way and Im going to explain about the play were putting on this year." Jakostu smiled and some people groaned at the mention of a play- mostly the guys. Jakotsu continued. " Its called The rogue hanyou."

InuTasha started to growl and reached over and gripped my hand for support. I rubbed his arm, trying to calm him down. Somehow Jakotsu heard InuYasha's growling all the way down on stage and smirked. "Oh calm down InuYasha. Its nothing against you or your heritage." Jakotsu cooed.

InuYasha looked alarmed and he stood up. "How the hell do you know my name?"

Jakotsu smiled. "Well your so cute, when I saw your picture I remembered your name." InuYasha face changed form alarmed to disturbed. My eyes started to twitch and Miroku and Sango stifled their laughter. Jakotsu didn't seem to nice though. "That, and I have a list of all the kids in my class with their school picture and name below it."

InuYasha grumbled about 'sexual harassing teachers and dumbass perverts' and sat back down. I looked over to InuYasha and he scowled at out teacher and I smirked and looked back to the stage.

"Alright everyone, it is required that you all try out and get a role in the play. Weather that role be an actor or actress. Or perhaps stage crew and costume designers, it doesn't matter as long as you partake in this play. But everyone will try out for a role. So with that being said, I'm going to pass out the script and you guys will have a week to read it, learn it, and recite it."

Jakotsu ran offstage and then came back with an armful of scripts and walked down the isle passing them down each row.

I turned to InuYasha. "So are you excited for the play?" I asked sarcastically. I hated standing in front of people and speaking. I knew that I wouldn't get a role on the chorus so I didn't care, but InuYasha totally had the face to act. That, and his adorable puppy ears could get whatever the hell they wanted.

He shrugged. "Not really. Specially if this Jakotsu guy is gonna keep hittin' on me….its fucking creepy."

I made a face. "Oh he's not that bad InuYasha."

InuYasha was going to say something back, but Jakotsu walked up to our isle and started to pass out scripts. He never took his eyes off InuYasha. When he was done passing out scripts he leaned down and whispered something Into InuYasha's ear, smirked, and then pattered away.

Sango leaned over so she could whisper to InuYasha. "What was that all about?"

InuYasha looked completely disgusted as he opened his script and a piece of paper fell out. He bent down and picked it up, read it over, and then grimaced.

"What?" I asked.

He blankly handed me the piece of paper. I read it over and a hand flew to my mouth to stop my laughter. It was Jakotsu's phone number. I handed it to Sango and Miroku and their reactions were pretty much the same as mine.

InuYasha rolled his eyes and groaned. "He said I should call him in case I needed help with the script. And that I could go over to his house anytime so he could help me right." InuYasha scoffed and we all started laughing as his face grew pink.

We laughed in and at InuYasha's face and he cursed loudly for us to "Shut the fuck up!" and then threw the hood on his black hoodie up over his ears and face and folded his arms. We didn't talk about Jakotsu again. Though we did laugh about it.

xXx

My advanced english class was pretty boring. InuYasha just laid his head down his desk and slept through most of it and Sango and Miroku talked amongst themselves. So I stared out the window and day dreamed about random and useless things.

After we were assigned our homework, the school bell rang and we all left to go home. I stopped off at my locker to put away my textbooks that I didn't need to bring home and to grab my coat. It was getting chilly outside and I refused to become ill. I hated being sick.

I put on my red coat and walked outside. The cool November air was crisp and it nipped at my nose. I let my breath out of my mouth and it came out in a puff of white air. I looked around and saw Miroku walking Sango to her bus and I winked when she caught my eye. She started blushing like crazy and turned away from me so she could talk with him. I smirked and started walking for the car pick up lot when I realized today was the day mom wouldn't pick me up and gramps couldn't drive.

"I guess I'm walking home." I muttered sadly under my breath. I started for the sidewalk when I heard someone clear their throat loudly behind me. I turned around and smiled.

InuYasha was waiting for me, his hands shoved bashfully in his pockets. I ran over to him and smiled. "Your gonna drive me home today aren't you?" He nodded his head and grinned at me like an idiot. I sighed, unable to ay no to him. I swear it the ears!

"Ok. lets go then." I smirked as he grabbed my hand and walked me over to a cherry red car. A mustang.

He opened the door for me and bowed. "M'Lady."

I snorted and rolled my eyes. "Thank you." I sat down in the passenger seat and InuYasha climbed into the drivers seat. He turned on the car and left the school parking lot in a cloud of dust.

I sniffed the air in the car and smirked wearily. "InuYasha? When did you get this car? It smells brand new."

He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel as he thought about it. "Um…dad bought for me a few months ago but I don't drive it much." He shrugged as if it was no big deal.

I scoffed and he winked at me. Once he dropped me of at home I thanked him for driving me and he made a crack about how Princess shouldn't walk. I pushed him playfully and walked up to the house, waved goodbye to him, and shut the door.

It was so cold out so I let out a sigh of relief when the warm air hit me as I entered the house. I dropped my schoolbag by the front door and walked into the kitchen. I grabbed some water and a granola bar out of the pantry and walked downstairs into my own little private living room and plopped down on the couch. I watched tv until my phone started buzzing in my pocket. I dug it out and chuckled when I saw it was InuYasha.

InuYasha to Kagome: Ello' M'lady. Doth the princess fair well? Translation :Sup? How are you?

I laughed out loud and typed a quick reply.

Kagome to InuYasha: Im doing quite well peasant. Im watching ye old boob tube.

I put my phone down and finished my granola bar when my phone buzzed again.

InuYasha to Kagome: You have no idea how much that just made me laugh Princess. LOL and since when have I become a f-ing peasant?

I snorted.

Kagome to InuYasha: You became a peasant when I became royalty.

I flipped the channel smirking.

InuYasha to Kagome: Well were going to have to fix that problem aren't we?

Kagome to InuYasha: Whats your suggestion?

I put my phone down and walked into my room and changed into sweatpants and a tank top. I put my hair into a loose bun and bobby pinned my bangs back. When I walked back into the living room InuYasha had already replied. He was a god damned fast texter.

InuYasha to Kagome: AHH nope cant tell you. You'll have to wait and see won't you? ;D Anyway I gtg. My brothers pissing himself about something or other. Bye princess

I rolled my eyes and put my phone down just as it started to buzz again.

InuYasha to Kagome: P.S. You looked very pretty today at school ;)

I shut my phone and rolled over on the couch and groaned into the pillow.

'Damnit. What is this boy doing to me? Why do I feel this way? And what about Naraku? It would kill Inuyasha if he found out about the kiss.'

I stood up from the couch. "Which is why he won't find out." I told myself.

I walked upstairs toward my schoolbag to start working on my homework when I saw gramps reading the newspaper on the dinning room table. I walked over and kissed his cheek and he chuckled.

"So gramps…did you find the scroll today?" I asked eagerly.

He nodded and pointed to the kitchen counter. He smiled when he saw me smile.

"Awh grams your the best!" I said as I ran over to the counter and picked up the scroll gently.

He nodded. "I know I am." He said smugly and I laughed as I walked down into my room. I shut my door and flopped on my bed and opened the piece of parchment. My eyes roamed and scanned over the pages.

Soon, my smirk fell and was replaced with a confused and shocked look on my face as I continued to read over the information. I didn't expect to find anything like this. But now that I did…it changed everything.

My eyes grew wide and my heart started to pound harder and harder in my chest.

'Inuyasha….'
