Another chapter updated I was shocked when A few of you told me you didn't know who Shiori was. D: She was in the anime and Manga and a hanyou InuYasha saved :) If you want to know what she looks like just look her up on google. Read , review, and enjoy….

It's a big mystery if you're really making the right choice in life. One slip and nothing can go right.

InuYasha was in gym doing sit-ups with Hojo holding his feet. Sit-ups were easy for a hanyou. It sucked for people who didn't have any meat on them when they did sit-ups because the concrete wasn't soft against your tailbone.

" 99…100! InuYasha made it past one hundred!" Hojo said amazed to no one really in particular.

"Hey don't stop counting!" InuYasha scolded and kept going.

"oops. 106…..107…"

~ With Kagome~

"Now our spring concert is coming up close girls so we have to be extra prepared. I have a part in a song where two girls will battle in singing." Mr. Hoi announced as he handed out lyrics to their new song. All the girls squealed. A duet! " Two weeks girls. We have two weeks from today to get prepared!"

Kagome and Sango sat next to each other in the choir room.

" Kagome you should audition." Sango encouraged, tapping her shoulder.

" I know! You should too! It'd be really fun if we sang the duet together."

"Alright I want to have a list of all the girls that want to audition sometime this week. Now the audition will be in the morning with just me and you. You can choose any song you want to sing just make sure it is appropriate for school."

A lot of the girls raised their hands including Kagome, Sango, Rin, and Kikyo.

Kagome turned her locker combination to 19 at lunchtime to grab her lunchbox…. But what was the next number?

' You've got to be kidding me! It only took two days for me to forget my combination!'

InuYasha just so happened to be walking back from his locker on his way to lunch when he saw Kagome slamming her head on her locker. He rolled his eyes holding her shoulders back so she would stop.

"Okay, something is wrong, you've tried to kill yourself like….twice."

" I forgot my locker combination…."

InuYasha laughed removing her hands from the locker and turned it swiftly to the right, then to the left turning it back to the right before it popped open with ease.

"How…how did you do that!"

"As Mama InuYasha I am permitted to remember my daughter's combination because I'm positive she will forget it."

Kagome laughed hitting his chest lightly and grabbed her lunch from her locker, kicking it shut.

"I don't know what I would do without you."

"Banging your head against more random objects perhaps?"

"Probably."

"….. I need advice Kagome….." InuYasha blushed looking down at the ground. 'Am I seriously asking a girl for help!'

" mmmm… Okay. About?"

" What do I do about Shiori!"

Kagome looked away and thought for a moment. "Well, If I were you I would at least give the girl a chance. It hurts to be turned down and have an unrequited love. And when I say that it's not just for a little while. It permanently crushes the heart."

InuYasha stopped in his tracks with his mouth wide open. Kagome stopped too and twirled around raising an eyebrow.

"Permanently! I don't want to hurt a girl and have her be heartbroken forever!"

" You say that now but you're bound to do it some point in life."

"So? You're okay with me going out with Shiori?"

Kagome stopped in her tracks once again taken aback by the question a little.

"Why wouldn't I be okay with it?"

"You're my best friend and decide who I date."

' Oh I'll decide for you…' Kagome said mentally.

"You have my permission." Kagome laughed although it hurt inside. "and-"

InuYasha crushed her into a hug making her shut up.

" I'll ask her out at lunch then. Thanks Kagome."

"No…Problem."

()()()()()()()

Kagome sat in her regular spot in the lunch room watching InuYasha look for Shiori. She lazily chewed on her sandwich, resting her head against the palm of her hand.

"Kagome! You're going to let Shiori take your man!" Miroku said shocked.

"W-what?"

'Since when is InuYasha… my man?'

"You know he is going to ask out Shiori!"

"I know. I'm cool with it."

' But Am I?'

~With InuYasha~

Shiori was standing just a few feet away from InuYasha trying to hide her blush on her beautifully tanned face.

"I wanted it to be kept a secret…" She said softly.

"Why?" InuYasha frowned. "I'm honored that you like me and wanted to know if you'd go out with me."

Shiori gasped immediately taking her eyes off the floor looking directly into InuYasha's blazing amber eyes. She was completely lost at words. She swallowed hard bringing her hand to her lips as if she was thinking of an answer. After what seemed like a life time she gave a small nod.

InuYasha smiled and offered his hand. "Come on to my table. You can bring Kanna if you want."

"um…okay." Shiori ran off to find Kanna and met back at InuYasha's table. Shiori sat shyly besides her new boyfriend. This was a new concept to her and scared her.

Kagome was a bit jealous. 'InuYasha says I'm still his best friend so it's not like I've lost him…' But Shiroi and InuYasha looked like the perfect couple. They both had a gorgeous natural tan and silvery white hair. And the one thing Shiori shared in common with InuYasha that Kagome would never be able to was the feelings of a half demon. This saddened her further.

()()()()(()(

InuYasha was surprised Shiori even let him hold her hand. This was going to be a very slow relationship. It was the end of the school day and everyone was beat. At least it was Friday. Kanna didn't like Friday's because everyone seemed to say ' well at least it's Friday.'

" Um… InuYasha did you want to go to that?" Shiroir asked pointing to the Valentine 's Day dance poster posted just outside the gym.

"Sure." He smiled.

"I'd like it if your friends came too."

"Well I could ask but their all single so it would be weird for them to attend the dance."

" I don't believe that."

"I'll definitely ask them for you."

"InuYasha!" Sango called out from the hall grabbing her backpack.

"Hm?"

"Me, Kagome, and Miroku were all going to the movies later with my mom. Come with us!"

" What are you guys going to go see?"

"Does it matter! You'll be too busy eating popcorn to hear anything!"

"Well I guess. Did you guys get any homework for the weekend?"

"Yeah in math but I payed Hojo to do it for me."

"That kid is going to fail you, you know."

Shiori looked back and forth to InuYasha and Sango talking.

"I have to leave now InuYasha. Goodbye." She said silently and leaving the building.

InuYasha waved to her. 'Not even a hug goodbye? She didn't even want a hug goodbye!' He shrugged and returned to talking to Sango.

"Dude seriously what is up Shiroi's butt?"

"um…I wouldn't know I'm not her doctor…?" InuYasha said backing away a step.

"No I mean, she's like… really weird."

"She's probably just shy. I can open her up a little bit."

"If Miroku was here when you said that-"

"Yeah I know…"

"You coming to the movies with us then?"

"I have a study date with Kagome anyways so sure."

"Great! See you later! My mom's probably getting tired of waiting for me!"

"Bye Sango."

Sango waved to him running out of the hallway. He understood Shiori was a little weird but not everyone is outgoing. Kagome said to date her or at least give her a chance and that is what he was going to do!

InuYasha walked to the front of the school were the buses were leaving and kids were walking home in huge packs down the street. He looked around for Sesshomaru, He was supposed to pick him and Kagome up.

"Whelp, we're over here." Sesshomaru said leaning out of his shinny white sports car.

InuYasha rolled his eyes as he made it over to the car. Kagome was already buckled in.

"HI!"

"Hello." InuYasha yawned resting his head against the window.

"You're not going to fall asleep when we have to study are you! It's final exams!"

"I have never studied for final exams in the past and I did just fine."

"Fine then. Sesshomaru take me to my house please."

"Kagome!"

"What? You're too tired to study."

"Doesn't mean I don't want you to come over still…"

"Aww! You miss me!"

"Do not."

"Do you two lovebirds want something at seven eleven?" Sesshomaru asked looking into his mirror.

Kagome and InuYasha blushed and without saying a word, nodded. Sesshomaru snickered and pulled into the seven eleven parking.

Kagome looked at all the candy bars and then at the chips. 'Do I want chips or candy…..' Every time her mom took her to seven eleven she would always ask the very same question. Was she hungry for Chips more or Candy?

"You know we could just get a family size bag of chips and get a bag of candy to share." InuYasha said matter-of-factly.

"You guys can pick out a candy later when you go to the movies with Sango. Too much sugar will make your stomachs hate you." Sesshomaru told them getting a slurpie.

Kagome nodded and got a bag of Cheddar fries. Inuyasha made nachos adding tons of gooey cheese.

Once they got back in the car Sesshomaru pulled out and headed to the Taisho mansion.

"Hey, what movie are we all going to see anyways?"

"Sango told me that I was going to be chomping so loud while I ate popcorn that it didn't matter what movie we saw and to hush up."

"She kinda told me the same thing." InuYasha laughed. " What exactly was it that you wanted to study?"

"Chapter 5 in math, Everything in science and that's about it."

"Why chapter 5?"

"That was hard! I did terrible on the test!"

"Everyone did terrible on the test."

"My point exactly."

"We got doughnuts today in Math. You jealous Kagome?" InuYasha said sticking out his tongue.

"Yes! Why did your class get doughnuts!"

"Because we are awesome."

"Yeah well, keep eating junk food and you'll be a fat lazy dog who sleeps all day."

"For your information I did 120 sit-ups today and 90 push ups."

Sesshomaru rolled down his window when he came to the mansion's gate. He punched in a few numbers into the gatebox and drove in. Kagome and InuYasha were going to run in when Sesshomaru stopped them.

"Um…..You're welcome!"

"Thanks Sesshomaru!" Kagome said cheerfully opening the front door.

"Thank you for the chips fluffy."

Sesshomaru sighed walking into the house running his hands through his soft hair.

"Inu! Sesshy! Kagome!" Izayoi said welcoming her guests. " So good to see you again Kagome."

"It's good to see you too Izayoi."

"You guys can study wherever you want. The pool, kitchen, den, InuYasha's room, whatever."

"Okay."

"InuYasha, your math book is in your father's office."

"Alright." InuYasha walked up the stairs with Kagome, turning into a few hallways until finally he made it to a cozy office with his father inside reading a thick book while drinking coffee.

"Well, look who's here. Hello Kagome, How are you?"

"Hi Inutaisho! I'm doing good."

"That's good to hear. What do you need InuYasha?"

"Mom said my math book was in here."

"Hm…" InuTaisho looked up into his bookshelf taking out a bulky dark blue math book. "Would this be it?"

"Yep."

"Alright use your study time wisely. When Was Sango's mother picking you two up?"

"Sango said somewhere around 5 or 6."

"That doesn't give you two a lot of time. Get busy."

"Okay, come on Kagome."

InuYasha and Kagome chose to work in his room. Kagome nibbled on her cheddar fries as she read the difficult text in the book. InuYasha wasn't doing much. He picked up a nacho scrapping any unwanted cheese and stuffing it into his mouth.

' Oh yeah…. This tastes amazing.'

"Master InuYasha?" A really busty maid came into his room. Kagome was taken back at the girl almost losing her chip.

"Yeah?" InuYasha asked without looking up grabbing another chip with two claws.

"Do you need a drink?"

"Sure."

"What will it be this time?"

"er… I feel like strawberry soda with crushed ice please."

"And your friend?"

"Nozomi she's been over here for years and you still don't know her name?"

' Say WHAT!' Kagome said mentally looking back at the maid. THAT was Nozomi? Kagome remembered her in the past. She was a lot prettier now. InuYasha had different maids attending to his needs so Kagome didn't see Nozomi all the time.

"I wouldn't expect her to remember my name." Kagome smiled. " I'm Kagome."

"My apologies…Master InuYasha. Would you like anything to drink Kagome?"

"Grape?"

"Right away." Nozomi bowed and made an exit.

"Was she always so…." Kagome asked making a face at InuYasha who whipped salt from his face watching as Kagome put her hands near her chest so he would understand what she was trying to say.

"Hm? Oh! No, she got plastic surgery." InuYasha laughed.

"Is she trying to replace your mom?" Kagome joked.

"I don't think so. I think she is trying to catch Sesshomaru's attention. She's too young for my dad."

"Your brother is quite the girl magnet isn't he?"

"Kindergarten through senior year."

"Wow!"

"It doesn't make any sense to me though, He's not the flirty type or the kind that goes up to girls. They come up to him."

"Does he wear Axe or something? Or some exotic cologne?"

Inuyasha laughed again shaking his head. "I don't pay attention. Knowing Sesshomaru, I highly doubt it."

"Your drinks." Nozomi said stepping into the room with a tray and two tall ice cold glasses of soda.

"Thank you." InuYasha took his drink chugging it down. That cheese burns going down!

Nozomi nodded and made a quick exit.

"Ugh InuYasha! We aren't even doing any work! Well I am but all you're doing is having a Mexican fiesta!"

InuYasha glared at her as he slowly brought a chip to his mouth and took a bite.

"Maybe I like Mexican fiestas.."

Kagome grumbled and stared at her book for a few more seconds.

"Oh forget this. Let's go do something." She yelled pushing the book away from her with her feet.

"Finally!" Inuyasha said getting up. " I've been waiting for you to just snap!"

"Har har har…"

"Want to swim in ball gown dresses?"

"-what?"

"Nothing."

"No what did you say InuYasha Taisho?"

"I said let's go swim in ball gown dresses."

" O.m.g I've always wanted to do that!"

"Me too! But I'm not gay." InuYasha said quickly. "I always wonder how Princess Peach and Princess Daisy can compete in minigames that require swimming and they go in their dresses."

Kagome laughed and looked in his closet. "How many dresses are you hiding in here?"

"None! I bet Sesshomaru has some though."

Kagome grabbed InuYasha's hand and went to Sesshomaru's master bedroom. He was in the middle of practicing a violin solo for a contest he was going to compete in where he would perform infront of three judges.

"Sesshomaru!"

"What do you need Kagome?

"Do you have any ball gown dresses?"

"What? Nonsense. Men don't wear such a thing. If it is a dress you're looking for try asking Izayoi." Sesshomaru said smartly focusing back to his solo.

"Iza-"

"Shh! I got it…" Inuyasha reassured clearing his throat. "Nozomi!"

Nozomi peeked her head from a bathroom she was inspecting for cleanliness. "Yes?"

"We're going to need two dresses please."

Nozomi raised an eyebrow but it wasn't any of her business to why. "Any color in particular you wanted?"

InuYasha looked at Kagome. "What color?"

"Pink!"

"Okay, and I don't care what color mine is. We just want them to be poofy."

" Pink and poofy. Alright….?"

"We will be in the pool."

"InuYasha? What if we like…. Drown?"

"There will be a maid watching us in a bathing suit ready to splash in the water and save our souls." He said tapping his fingertips to his chest nodding.

"I think you lose your mind on the weekends."

"I think so too."

They both easily found the indoor pool. As InuYasha said there was a maid on lifeguard took off his shirt and watched as Nozomi rushed in with two large dresses. Izayoi had a tiny figure so they would have no problem holding up the dress. It would just be a little long on them. Nozomi helped InuYasha into the dress zipping it up in the back. Kagome burst into a fit of giggles.

"If only I had a camera with me."

"If you took a picture I would have to cut your neck with my claws."

" Master InuYasha, these dresses are old ones that Izayoi said you could use. She doesn't mind them getting dirty or ruined."

"Perfect."

Nozomi then zipped up Kagome's back as she hoisted the huge gown into her hands so she could walk. InuYasha and Kagome could not stop laughing as they both waddled to the edge of the pool.

"Ready?"

"Are you?"

"Always." InuYasha smirked. " One…. Two….."

"Three!" Kagome screamed pushing InuYasha in and jumping in soon after. InuYasha made a big splash entering the water. Bubbles surrounded them both. Kagome held her breath and tried to swim up to the surface but it was just too difficult with a heavy dress.

Nozomi took a quick picture with a camera she had hid in her bra and stuffed it back it. Towels were set up on the reclining chairs for when they came out.

The lifeguard dived into the water shredding the dresses off of InuYasha and kagome and scooping them both up into her arms to the surface. This was done in a great amount of time because she was a youkai. Kagome and InuYasha were both coughing like crazy as they tried to laugh at the same time. Their plan wasn't so successful.

"That was fun!" Kagome skipped over to the towels and tossed Inuyasha one. InuYasha shook like a dog to remove as much water as he could and wrung out his hair.

"I know!"

"Shoot… Now my clothes are all wet..I wasn't really thinking and forgot we had to go to the movies later."

"Sesshomaru could always run and go get you another pair of clothes but for now you can take a shower and wear one of my shirts and a robe."

"Okay." Kagome smiled as she watched the lifeguard remove the dresses from the water. "We must do that again sometime."

"Kagome, your mother said she would stop by and give you an extra pair of clothes." Nozomi told her.

"Oh you called her? Thank you."

" No Problem. I'll show you to the shower room."

"Okay."

" Hurry too Kagome, we have an hour before Sango comes and gets us."

"Oh yeah!"
