New Life
By: Inukag- mirosan lover
It was a cold night, and the clouds were hovering very close to the ground. Kagome had forgotten how dark and gloomy Washington was. She had just moved back in with her uncle and aunt because of the fact that her mother and father were tragically killed in a murderous accident. No one had any idea why she decided to live with her aunt and uncle instead of with her sister, who was 31 and had a son of 6 months old. She had told people that it was because she didn't want to burden her sister with her visit.
She had been in Fircrest about four weeks now. School should be starting in about two days. She had come during the summer and hadn't had many friends, so it wouldn't be that painful of a transfer. But, even though she didn't really care how many friends she had or who hung out with her, just because she was used to rejection. She couldn't help but feel nervous and anxious. What if no one liked her at this school either? Of course she could bear through two more years of high school alone! It wouldn't be fun or productive or helpful to her life, but she could handle it! Everyone at her old school was cliquey, so by the time she got into high school, the cliques were formed and she didn't have anyone to hang out with or talk to. It was depressing. She had thought about committing suicide a couple of times in the past, but she knew she couldn't put her family in that much pain.
She heard the door shut as her aunt, Kagura, walked through the door. She had just gotten home from work, and her husband, Soun, wouldn't be home for about 3 hours. She was a teacher at a local high school, which luckily wasn't the school that Kagome was going to. She was tall with dark brown hair, which she always had done up in a Chinese bun.
"Hello kagome!" Kagura announced stepping gracefully into the living room where Kagome was in the kitchen making Ramen for herself. Even though it was only 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Kagome never really had dinner with the family; she was having her dinner early, as usual.
"Hi Kagura. How was school?" Kagome asked. Not really interested, but trying her best to be kind. Kagura's school had started a couple of weeks earlier than Kagome's because she taught at a Private school and Kagome was going to a public school.
"Oh, it was fine. A couple of kids showed their demon sides today. It was as if they have all gone crazy!"
"Well, that's nice. I think I'm going to go to a bookstore tonight, do you mind?"
The bookstore wasn't that far away. Their was a small outlet mall a couple of blocks down. And kagome didn't want her aunt to driver her. She would rather be alone than with anybody. She was just used to it being like that.
"Oh, well… I thought that maybe we could all have a small dinner together tonight. You know, to talk about your new school and when we should introduce you to the neighbor two doors down who goes to your school. She really is a nice girl! You'll like her!"
Crap. Kagome thought to herself. "Kagura didn't just have to lower a bomb, she had to lower an atomic bomb! Why couldn't she just do one thing I didn't like at a time! So, we have to have dinner, and meet a new person! TERRIFIC!! This is just my day!" Kagome thought to herself. Obviously showing frustration in her facial features because Kagura started to look disappointed as if Kagome had already said "Not only no but HELL NO!"
"Oh… Um… Okay… but I really do want to go to a bookstore, and maybe we should just meet her today, and have dinner…. later!" Kagome said as she thought about how much she really didn't want to do anything! She tried to be hopeful, maybe she might even have… fun. The rare use of the word made Kagome, muffle a laugh. What about her life had been fun lately? Parents dying, new school, no one around ever, nothing ever on tv, her throwing up every time she ate. Oh YEAH!! That was the #1 definition of FUN!
"Terrific! Okay, honey, could you get me the phone while I call Sango and tell her to meet you at the bookstore!"
Kagome hated when Kagura made plans without her opinion. Kagome grabbed the phone and handed it to Kagura.
"So, when do you want
to meet her? Oh, she'll be thrilled, she loves to read too, you
know? Oh, isn't this exiting, your first 'friend' in Fircrest!
Can you see my goose bumps?!"
Kagura was getting way over her
head. MAYBE, I would have a little bit of… fun. But, Kagome doubted
that she would actually make a friend.
"Sasuke? Hi it's Kagura!! Listen, is your daughter home? Terriffic!! My niece would love to meet her today! Yes….. Oh, she's going to be at school soon…. She wanted to get some books to read… She loves to read!!... Is Sango up for it? Terriffic, I'll see you later Sasuke. Five o'clock, at Books a million, I'll tell her. Thank you!" She hung up the phone and turned to Kagome with excitement written all over her face.
"She was going to go to the bookstore today, anyway, so she wants you to meet her there at about five, so maybe you guys could go to the coffee shop next to the bookstore afterward?" Kagura said with disappointment tracing the outside of her words.
Ugh. "Okay, but don't get too worked up. She might not even like me. Plus, I'm really…. Shy." Kagome struggled with the right word to use with this situation. She didn't want to say she didn't talk to people. She did. She just always said the wrong thing, so they never talked back.
"Oh, that's ok. Sango's very talkative, she's a little shy at first, but she gets over it once you get to know her."
Did she want to torture me? Or… maybe she was just worried about me not having… anybody. Kagome remembered about her mother talking Kagura before about her having no friends at school.
"I'll go take a shower." Kagome said while stomping through the living room to the stairs. She left the Ramen on the kitchen counter without eating it, because she knew that Kagura would eat it. But, Kagome didn't care; Kagura normally just took whatever she spotted in the fridge and ate it. Kagura was oddly thin, though.
Kagome took a shower, and tried to take the longest time she could. She brushed her hair about 6 times and brushed her teeth twice. She decided to leave her hair down, like she always did. Then, she picked out the clothes that she would wear. She didn't know why she was worried about how she looked for this… Sango, girl. She had never met her. But, she still wanted to look, presentable. Kagome picked out a pair of dark jeans with four pockets sewn on the sides, and then she picked a glittery brown shirt with hanging sleeves from her elbows. She went back into her bathroom and chose what make- up she would wear. She normally only wore eyeliner, but she decided to put on some Dream Matte Mousse on also. It was about fifteen minutes til five now. She grabbed her purse, and checked to make sure that her wallet was in there. She ran down the stairs and tripped on the last step. She fell on her knees.
"Crap!" She yelled.
Kagura came galloping into the room with a top- notch gallop that was faster than a horse.
"O god! What's wrong? Did you hurt yourself!? You should really be careful!! Are you ok??" Kagura was stuttering. She was talking to fast for anyone to actually understand.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I just fell down." Kagome said annoyance in voice, but it was pointed mostly at her own clumsiness.
"Oh, well be careful! You should go!"
"Yes, I know, I was on my way out just now."
"Okay, bye honey, I'll see you later; I'm going to make lasagna tonight. It'll be ready at about seven or eight, but no rush at the bookstore." Kagura stated as- a- matter- of- fact.
"Oh, don't worry. I won't rush." Only with someone that I've never met before and that I have no idea what she'll be like, or if we'll even talk. "Bye!" Kagome yelled as she ran out the door; purse in hand.
Just as she ran out the door, someone flashed past her, with incredible speed. Her eyes followed the stranger, and she realized that the reason he was so fast was because he was on a skateboard. Showing off no doubt, he was doing tricks that Kagome had only seen on tv. He looked back at her, probably just to check to see if she was watching. He was tall; he was wearing checkered vans and had long silver hair. He was wearing a white muscle shirt, which, kagome had to admit, showed off his 8 pack very very well. Just then when their eyes met. He turned around and headed straight for her house. He skidded to a stop, right in front of the yard.
"Hey" the stranger said. His voice was low, very smooth and monotone. It was as if his voice was a recording. It was perfect. Kagome couldn't help but let her mouth drop a little. No one in her old town was this…. HOT! He was so attractive, Kagome had to remind herself he was real and finally answered.
"Oh, hey." Kagome said, her voice almost cracking. The handsome stranger choked back a small laugh.
"I haven't seen you around here before. What's your name?" He said
"I'm Kagome."
"And…." He said, with a face that was as if he was expecting her to tell him her life story.
"And what?!" Kagome asked partly aggravated. She didn't want to be late meeting Sango. It wouldn't go off very well.
"And, where are you from? And why do you live here? Kagura doesn't have any children… I don't think." He said
"Why should it matter? I don't even know your name and you're asking a total stranger about her life and…." Kagome started but was interrupted when he suddenly broke off her blabber.
"Excuse me. You are not a stranger. You are Kagome. And I thought it was common manners to ask people where they are from… Are you really that anti- social?" He asked with a small smile playing at his lips as though he was enjoying her aggravation.
"Well, it is. But, not before the other person knows the person that's askings name." Kagome said, fuming.
"I will tell you my name, if you tell me where you came from, where you are going, and why you are here." He said. Obviously he was enjoying her annoyance and using it to his advantage, which was just making Kagome more and more annoyed.
"UGHH! My name is Kagome Higurashi. My mother and father were killed in a car accident. That is why I am living with my aunt Kagura and my uncle Soun. I came from California. And I am going to the bookstore to meet a girl I have never met before because my aunt wants me to meet new people. I am a Virgo. My favorite color is black. My favorite flower is orchid, and my birthday is September 13th. What else would you like to know?" Kagome said almost as if she was about to explode. She had just met this stranger, and he was already pissing her off. An accomplishment no one until now had been successful with.
"Okay, how old are you?"
Kagome couldn't believe this!! He wanted to know more!! It's not like he would remember this!
"I'm a sophomore. I'm about fifteen." Kagome said, trying to calm herself down a little bit. Just trying to think about new books and movies and good things about the school.
"Cool. My name is Inuyasha Takahashi. I'm a sophomore, but I got held back, so I'm 16. My birthday is on November 24th. And I'm a Sagittarius. Also, I'm really sorry about your parents, but at least you don't have nobody, you know? It's cool that you can live with your aunt and uncle. And I'm going to the bookstore, too."
Kagome thought to herself how someone so attractive could be so… so…. Annoying. She couldn't think of a better word. It did suit him well, but it was different. He wasn't exactly annoying, but she couldn't think of what she would call him. It was more like, distracting.
"Oh, really?" Kagome asked in a sarcastic voice. "And maybe we could just be friends, just now."
"Well, you know, that's how you make friends. You're supposed to introduce yourself and get to know the other person, and then you start to hang out with them more often to see if you like them, and then you start to become friends. Then, it's fun to hang out with them. You don't have many friends in California, do you?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome struggled with her answer. Of course she wanted to make friends. She didn't try to be anti- social, it was just that she was around adults her whole life, so she didn't really know how to behave to kids that were her own age. She really tried though.
"No, I didn't have many friends. I didn't really know how to interact with kids my age." Kagome wondered why she was telling this to a total stranger. He seemed to be kind, and annoying. But, she enjoyed his company. It was better than being cooped up in the house with Kagura all day, awkwardly talking about her life.
"Well then, I'll be your first friend in Fircrest! And, aren't you going to the bookstore?"
Oh crap. Kagome thought to herself. What time was it? How long had she been talking to this stranger? Had Sango already left? Kagome had probably made Sango mad already just by being late.
"Oh God! What time is it?" Kagome asked frantically.
"It's about four fifty five. What time did you have to meet this person that you've never met before? And what's her name?"
He was too curious and kagome had to get to the bookstore!! She couldn't delay any longer!
"I don't have time to talk! I have to run to the bookstore now! I was supposed to meet Sango there at five!"
"Well, why don't I just give you a ride?" Inuyasha asked signaling to the black skateboard, with stickers all over it, below his feet.
"Are you kidding me?! Can someone actually ride with two people on a skateboard? I don't wanna kill myself!" Kagome added already starting to walk towards the outlet mall.
"You won't kill yourself! I've done it a billion times before! Seriously, it's safe. And if you insist I can be back in two seconds with a helmet for you to ride with. And, you do know that the bookstore is…. that way." He pointed behind him while he was following Kagome on her right side.
"Oh, well fine! But, if I die, I'm going to haunt you!" Kagome added in a serious tone, trying to sound scary, but not succeeding.
"Hop on!" Inuyasha screamed. Kagome jumped on to the skateboard and held on to Inuyasha's waist. She blushed, but Inuyasha was going to fast and paying attention to where he was going that he could barely manage to pay attention to kagome's face while she was hanging on to him.
"Hang on tight" He added while speeding off into the street. It felt like he was going 50 miles an hour because of how the wind was blowing into Kagome's face. She had to close her eyes, or she would probably start crying and ruin her make- up. She held on tighter to Inuyasha and now it was like there was absolutely no space in between them. She was pressing her body against him tighter than she had ever done to anyone, but it wasn't as if it was a hug, more like an awkward embrace. But, Inuyasha didn't seem to mind at all. He was watching the road, trying to be as careful as he could with a girl clinging to him on a skateboard!
"And by the way, I know this Sango girl that you're talking about, she's my friend's girlfriend, I've met her once or twice." He added while kagome was hanging on behind inuyasha with her eyes closed.
"Oh." Kagome said stuttering and her voice cracking because she was so scared of falling off of the skateboard. She hadn't had the best experience with skateboard's when she was little. Her younger brother, who had also died in the car accident, had a skateboard, and the last time that she tried to ride it, she had almost cracked her head open, and ended up in the hospital for about 3 weeks.
"Do you have a girlfriend." She managed to choke out while they were accelerating at high speed.
"No" Inuyasha stated. "I had one, but she was so… I don't know, she was just snobby and a bitch." He added.
They had gotten to the outlet mall and he had halted to a stop about two stores away from the bookstore.
"We're here" Inuyasha said. "You can let go of me know." Kagome's cheeks turned bright red, and he did notice this time, because he flashed the smuggest smile that Kagome had ever seen. She let go of his waist immediately, and turned to face away from him so that he couldn't see her face anymore.
"Okay" Kagome said, her shy side taking over as if she didn't want him to hear her.
"So," Inuyasha started "What kind of book are you looking for."
"Well, I wanted to get some books, maybe by Stephenie Meyer. I've already read her first book and I wanted to look for others. And also I was wondering if maybe this bookstore had a certain kind of 'book.'"
Inuyasha looked surprised. "What kind of book?" he asked.
"Well, I wouldn't really call it a book. More like a… cartoon. It's called manga." She stated, her cheeks starting to turn red because of her embarrassment of the subject. She didn't like talking about her obsession with Japanese comic books and shows. It embarrassed her because she felt like a little kid, and as if people would make fun of her, even though anime and manga weren't exactly like cartoons, some were not appropriate for kids under 13.
"You mean like Japanese comics, right?" He wasn't going to make fun of her? She was surprised.
"yeah…"
"I love manga, but I'd rather watch anime. But some manga doesn't have an anime show. That's why I came here. I wanted to get some manga! So, what book are you looking for by Stephenie Meyer? And what manga are you interested in?"
Kagome was ecstatic! She had never actually met someone who liked manga, except maybe over the internet. She couldn't wait. But, she couldn't help but wonder, why was she telling him these things? And did he really care?
"I read the book called Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, and I loved it, so I was just wondering if she had written any more, or if maybe she had written a sequel to the book. Also, I love reading Fruits Basket." She could hear herself babbling, so she decided to cut her conversation short.
"Oh, that's cool. I've heard of Fruits Basket before. I like reading Fullmetal Alchemist and Blood+ more than anything else though. Oh, and isn't that Twilight book the one that's like a bestseller and has an apple on the cover and someone's hands are holding it out? What does the apple have to do with the story anyway?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yeah, that's it. But, I have no idea why there is an apple on the cover. The book has NOTHING to do with apples. It's about a…" Kagome stopped talking, if she thought that manga was embarrassing, even though he liked it, what would he think to cheesy romantic books about a vampire falling in love with a human, even though it was the cutest story ever!!
"It's about…" Inuyasha went on trying to make her finish her statement. It was as if he wanted to hear what it was about, not as if he would actually care, but, it actually seemed as if he was interested.
"Oh, you wouldn't want to hear about it, it's just girl stuff, you know, romance and stuff." Kagome's cheeks turned a bright red.
"Well, what's it about? You won't know if I'm not interested or not unless you tell me." Inuyasha said. He really did want to hear about it. He felt attached to her. He wanted to know everything about her. It was as if she was a pink zebra in a pack. She was so different than anyone he had ever met. He had never met a girl before that likes to read manga. He felt as if he actually wanted to know things about her. Obviously it made her confused as to why.
"Well, ok… if you really want to know, it's like a combination of Romeo and Juliet and Beauty and the Beast. It's the sweetest story I've ever read! It's so cute! He doesn't want to be around her because he doesn't want to put her in any kind of danger. Also, he thinks of himself as a monster, and he doesn't want to be a monster, but he really had no choice. And he thinks that a vampire, when you become one, it takes away your soul, and that's why he doesn't want her to become a vampire. He wants her to live a full life." Kagome could now, again, hear herself start babbling, so she tried to bring the conversation to an end even though she couldn't restrain herself from talking about her favorite book!
"Wow." Inuyasha said. His face was stunned. He just couldn't believe how much chicks liked cheesy romance. Maybe he should start taking the hint!
"What?" Kagome asked, scared that he would make fun of her other obsession with romance.
"Well, I'm just, um…. impressed by your infatuation with the book." Inuyasha tried to fight back a laugh, but, didn't succeed in fighting back a smile. "So, what are the characters of this book?"
"Edward Cullen is the name of the vampire, the romantic/sweet one. And the girl who falls in love with him is called Bella." Kagome at that moment realized the reason she was at and had come to the bookstore! She forgot all about Sango. She had to go!! She had to meet Sango now, she wondered what time it was. She really hoped that it wasn't past five fifteen. Her face started to show signs of nerves and Inuyasha started to get worried, but before he could ask her what was wrong, Kagome had run past him straight into the bookstore. How would she find Sango? She went straight to the coffee shop in the bookstore; because that's the first place she thought of to find Sango.
She walked into the coffee shop, but there were too many girls in there to actually go in there and ask each and every one Hi, are you Sango? Kagome thought that might make her look retarded. But, she didn't know how to find this Sango!? How would she do this? Just at that second, Inuyasha came running in after her and grabbed her arm and forced her to turn to him.
"Are you okay?" Inuyasha asked in a really worried voice. Kagome had to admit, it was so cute! He was worried! Cute! "Listen, you don't just run out on people like that! I didn't know what was wrong with you and I thought that maybe I had done something wrong!" Inuyasha screamed, but not loud enough that everyone could hear him, just raising his voice so that Kagome and maybe people close to her could hear.
"It wasn't you! And I'm sorry I worried you, it's just that at that time I remembered that I had to meet Sango and I didn't want to make her angry because I was late. I'm really sorry, Inuyasha." Kagome said very apologetically.
"Well you know I could have helped you with that. I told you that I kind of knew her; I know what she looks like. You could have just asked, or waited." Obviously, he was still a little angry at Kagome for running out on him.
"Oh, well fine, make me look stupid." Kagome said sarcastically as Inuyasha stifled a laugh. "So? Where is she?" Kagome asked.
"She's in the corner, and she's reading, so she obviously hasn't noticed I'm here. Trust me, if she ever sees anyone she knows around her, she will run up to them and greet them! She's really friendly, maybe too friendly." Inuyasha muffled while pointing to the corner of the coffee shop, hoping that maybe Kagome couldn't hear the end part. But, it's not like she would mention that to Sango, anyway. She would probably take it as a compliment though.
And there she was. She had long black hair, down to her lower back; it was pulled into a low ponytail. She was reading a book that Kagome couldn't really make out the title of. She decided to walk up to Sango and introduce herself, but she thought about telling Inuyasha before she walked away because she remembered the last time she left him without saying goodbye.
"Okay Inuyasha, I'm going to introduce myself to Sango. Please don't freak out ok." She tried to sound as convincing as she could without succeeding, because she started laughing as hard as she could when she finished the statement and Inuyasha gave her an annoyed look that basically said Shut up! But, Kagome didn't mind, this was the first time that she had actually annoyed him, and she was enjoying it.
"Ugh! Shut up! Anyway, maybe we can hang out later, okay? Maybe you could meet me in the manga section of the bookstore later?"
Kagome's face held utter astonishment. Wait, she thought to herself, He wants to hang out with me? Is he, like, asking me out or something? Well, I guess he is kind of my 'ride' home. If I can bear another ride on that death board with wheels! What should I say? She was struggling with words. She didn't know if he would consider it a date, but she didn't know if she should ask him if it was a date!
"um.. um… yeah, sure! Maybe I could see some of the other manga you like." She tried to be a little flirty, but failed. She hadn't really ever flirted before, no one had ever really liked her before. "But, this might take a little bit of time ok, so you don't have to wait in the bookstore for me or anything, you can leave, I won't get offended." She added, wondering how long she could talk to Sango.
"It's okay, I can just… read or something, I'll have a couple of coffee's. Don't mind me!" He said with a smile plastered on his beautiful face. Kagome mentally slapped herself for thinking that!
"K. See ya later!" Kagome yelled out as she turned around and walked toward the sitting teenager in the corner of the coffee shop. When she arrived at the table she looked at the girl for a minute, and just kind of admired her. She was really pretty.
"Hi, are you Sango?" Kagome asked quietly. The girl looked up immediately from her book. She seemed exited and extremely happy.
"Yes!! You must be Kagome, nice to meet you!" Sango said excitedly and quickly. She had a giant smile plastered on her face like she had just found the cure for cancer or something. She looked grateful, but not quite. But she looked really happy!
"Nice to meet you, too." Kagome couldn't really think of what to say, besides that. What could she say? "So, um…. what book are you reading?" Kagome asked.
Sango's face lit up! "Only the best book known to man kind!!" Sango yelled. "It's called Eclipse and it's the third book in a series of four books, and the fourth book is coming out on August 2nd, so I want to finish the third book before the fourth one comes out!"
"Oh, what series is it?" Kagome asked, interested.
"The first book is called Twilight and it's by Stephenie Meyer. It's called the Twilight series."
Kagome's face lit up so bright that it looked like light actually radiated off of her face. "Oh my god!! I love that book! I've only read the first in the series, but I thought there was only one and today I came to the bookstore to find books by Stephenie Meyer! I can't believe you read it!"
"Well, how could you expect someone like me to not read the best book series in the world!" Sango yelled loud enough for the cashier to hear. They started to chatter incessantly about the book and how perfect Edward was and how much they loved him!
"O my god! I love Edward so much!! He is the perfect guy! I can't believe how sweet and charming he is!" Kagome said with such enthusiasm that it was radiating off of her body! This is the happiest she had ever been. Before, no one knew about her reading Twilight, she was so exited about having someone to talk to her, and for her to talk to!
"Oh, just wait!" Sango said. "But, you're gonna hate the second book, it is soooooo depressing!! But, just remember through the book that it has a happy ending. If you want, you can borrow my copy, you don't have to buy it here. Although, Stephenie Meyer is also coming out with a new book on May 6th, which is in like 2 weeks!! I'm so exited. It's not based on Twilight, it's a totally different novel. But the fourth one of the Twilight series is coming out on August 2nd!! I am so friggin exited I might just scream!!" Sango said almost trembling.
"I don't think that the owners of the book shop would appreciate you screaming." Kagome said while laughing.
"No, I don't think so either!" Sango yelled. She was basically already screaming, and customers with tables close to theirs were complaining. At that moment Inuyasha walked into the coffee shop, he could hear the loud and exited screams from across the bookstore. He knew who it was right away. He had heard the same kind of scream before when his best friend had given his girlfriend a ring for their anniversary. He just assumed the other exited scream was Kagome's.
He walked into the coffee shop, not knowing what to expect out of the two ecstatic girls. He didn't think he spotted them since they were so absorbed on their conversation about whatever the hell they were talking about. He got a black coffee and paid for it. He needed it. If he was going to go intrude on their conversation, he knew that eventually they would find a topic of another conversation and they would start screaming again. So, he needed the coffee to keep him sane.
He walked up to their table and stood there for about a minute. The two girls were totally oblivious to the fact that there was a guy watching them. They didn't stop their incessant chatter on, the only words Inuyasha actually caught were "vampire," "Edward Cullen," and "perfect man." As if, he thought to himself. Any guy could be… not perfect, but good for a girl. I could do that! He argued with himself. No you couldn't! One part of his brain said. Wanna bet? The other argued.
Kagome and Sango kept their conversation about Edward Cullen going. Just because that was the only thing that they knew they actually had in common. Plus, people who had read Twilight could talk about Edward for hours. So, this was a long conversation piece. Suddenly, Kagome was fully aware of the very tall, hot, and handsome guy to her left listening on her conversation. She strayed away from her conversation to look at Inuyasha. He looked like he was struggling with a decision in his head. He looked confused.
"Is there something wrong, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked a little worried. Sango then knew that they weren't alone in their conversation, so she turned to look at Inuyasha as well.
"Oh, Inuyasha I didn't know you were here?" Sango asked surprised.
"Sorry, I just wanted to know if I could join you guys." Inuyasha mumbled partly ashamed, breaking out of his trance.
The girls looked confused. It's not like their conversations about Edward Cullen would actually interest him. But, they both nodded their heads. They didn't mind him being around.
"So Inuyasha, what brings you here?" Sango asked.
"Well, I was just looking for a book."
"At a library!? Well, I've never heard of that before!" Kagome added in a very sarcastic voice.
"Excuse me captain obvious, cough cough Kagome cough" Sango mumbled. She acted as if she had known Kagome for more like 10 years than 10 minutes. They had gotten close in ten minutes, though. Or…closer. "Oh, and by the way, how do you two know each other?"
"Well, I was riding my skate board over here and I saw Kagome coming out of her house. I had never seen her around before, and Kagura doesn't have any kids, so I was just wondering who she was. And I introduced myself" Inuyasha said with a smug smile plastered on his face. He was obviously proud of introducing himself to Kagome, but why? He didn't seem like a shy person. But, who knew? He could be. Kagome had only known him for what? Forty- five minutes? It seemed like she had known Inuyasha and Sango for much longer.
"Oh, well, what a coincidence! I can't wait until you start at school! It's going to be so much fun!" Sango urged.
"Wait, but how do you know what school I'm going to?" Kagome asked, and Inuyasha and Sango burst out laughing.
"How many high schools do you think Fircrest has? It has about two high schools, and one of them is about an hour away from where you live, so it was a little obvious." Inuyasha choked out while he was still laughing.
"Oh." Kagome whispered very embarrassed.
"Hey, do you guys wanna go for a pizza or something? I'm starved. I kinda left right away when Kagura called." Sango said trying to hide her urgency, but it came out with her words.
"Sure" Inuyasha all but yelled. He had a smile smoothed onto his face.
"Okay," Kagome said "but I have to be home by like eight or something like that."
