If you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried

~~~

 

Sango tapped her pencil on her desk, staring aimlessly in front of her as Mr. Wasabi, the tedious old teacher, droned on about history. Wars this... battles that... all equally boring in her books. Gesturing towards the class, she was not alone. Sure history could be interesting, but with an old bag like her teacher speaking in a monotone voice and hacking a wheezing cough every fifteen seconds, you were guaranteed to be drifting off in the first two minutes. Her thoughts wandered back to last night, and a frown graced her lovely cupid bow lips. She didn't like the fact that she and her best friends had to mislead the guys, but them finding out that they were Acid Rose now was not a very intelligent move For Kami's sake they just met them yesterday!

 

`But why does it feel like so much longer than that?...' Sango mused, eyes glazing over.

 

Rin drew inanely on the top corner of her lined paper, completely ignoring her teacher. She sighed and blinked. Last night was rather tiring, and she wasn't pleased with the fact that she and her friends had to act all innocent for Inuyasha, Miroku and Sesshoumaru. Wasn't friendship based on trust and honesty? Rin sighed once again. Acid Rose might become a problem if trust and honesty is what's needed. Sooner or later...something will slip up. The ninja clicked her tongue and turned her head to look at her `sisters'. Sango looked lost in her own world and Kagome was yawning. She turned her head on more of an angle to view their guy friends. Miroku looked like he was going to pass out, Inuyasha was sleeping and even Sesshoumaru looked uncharacteristically tired.

 

`Well that's odd... how late did they stay up anyway?...' Rin blew out air in exasperation and turned her head back to face the black board.

 

Kagome blinked to refocus her eyes. Yawning, she fell into her thoughts. She hated lying or acting innocent when your not, that's why last night was most unpleasant to her. Though the guys finding out their secret so soon, was not smart. Unfortunately, things had to stay hidden, at least for now. Suddenly, Kagome remembered the embrace she shared with Inuyasha and a rosy blush stained her cheeks. It wasn't called for, more of an involuntary action. She really was sorry for making him worry, and the hug... Kagome couldn't quite place why she hugged him. Was she...

 

`Iie... it can't be.' Kagome reasoned with herself. She caught Mr. Wasabi's question and mentally knew the answer. It wasn't like she enjoyed history, it's just she had a photographic memory.

~~~

 

Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha and Miroku were beat. Miroku fought to keep his eyes open, yawning repeatedly, Inuyasha just plain fell asleep, and Sesshoumaru rested his head tiredly on his right hand. Returning home at three was wreaking havoc on their sleeping routine. The hanyou, monk and youkai all had to wake up around 6:45 causing them last night to only obtain three hours and forty-five minutes of sleep.

 

`Damn...working for Taisho is horribly on week days... the only good thing is when we get taken out of class.' Miroku thought jaded. He gave a large yawn. He hadn't even groped one woman today he was so tired!

 

Sesshoumaru paid no attention to his teacher. Of course he had more energy than his otouto and the houshi but nevertheless his restless mind was assaulted by many sounds and scents and it was becoming increasingly irritating.

 

“MR. INUYASHA TAISHO!!”

 

Inuyasha head flung up, dog-ears twitching insanely, amber eyes trying to focus on the person that woke him up unceremoniously. The elderly teacher was glowering at him, holding an old book in one hand and tilting his glasses with the other. Inuyasha growled, more refreshed after dozing off. His dream was actually quite pleasant...starring Kagome. His eyes flicked towards the said girl in front of him, her beautiful eyes looking back at him...as well as everyone else's in the classroom. All except his bored half-brother's.

 

`Damn fucking teacher!' Inuyasha mentally cursed.

 

“Since you appear to be listening so closely...” Mr. Wasabi declared dryly before giving a wheezing cough. “...You can graciously tell me the answer to my recent question.”

 

`Not to self...get Taisho to put a hit on my damn teacher.' Inuyasha thought viciously. The hanyou looked towards Miroku for help, but his best friend seemed to be in equal confusion. Asking anyone else would be too obvious. He was about to retort embarrassingly until Kagome gave a very long stretch, pulling her arms way back to go over his desk and dropping a minuscule piece of paper on the wood surface. The miko returned her hands back on her own desk casually.

 

The bewildered Inuyasha, tried to make it unobvious as he grabbed the paper and read its contents.

 

`1602.'

 

Inuyasha sported a roguish smirk and answered his damnable teacher back smugly, “1602.”

 

Some people snickered at their teacher, who looked like a baka when his mouth fell open. The old bat was totally oblivious to the fact that Kagome gave him the answer.

 

“W-well...umm...lucky guess.” Mr.Wasabi muttered vehemently, loud enough for the hanyou to hear. His smirk was still in place as he looked at Kagome in front of him. She returned a wink back. Inuyasha was elated.

~~~

 

“Nice save Yash, how did you do it?” Miroku questioned, keen on knowing the trick to how the hanyou stumped the old bat in his place. “ It was quite remarkable, even youkai can't hear things in their sleep... you didn't even know the question.”

 

Inuyasha smirked lazily and folded his hands behind his head conceitedly. “ Keh, I'm just too damn smart to be fooled by an old geezer like that.”

 

Suddenly the silver haired hanyou was elbowed roughly in the ribs. His breath rushed out in a huff and he growled at the person who was stupid enough to do such a thing. Kagome rolled her eyes at him.

 

“Don't get ahead of yourself dog-boy...what are your ribs made out of anyway, steel?” She retorted rubbing her elbow soothingly.

 

Inuyasha grinned cockily. “ Aww, don't be all jealous Kags! You'll get your day when you can talk back to the old bag. And yes, they are made of titanium steel, arigato.”

 

Kagome snorted and elbowed him in the arm this time. Right after history class ended the lunch bell rang and the six friends left for the cafeteria. The halls were filled with students determined to reach the cafeteria first so as not to miss their food. Inuyasha was currently boasting, Kagome beside him rolling her eyes. Miroku was on the other side of Inuyasha, still not happy that he didn't get a straight answer from his hanyou friend, and Sango was walking beside him looking through her bag. Lastly Rin was beside Sango listening to her music player and Sesshoumaru was walking nonchalantly next to Kagome, with a bored expression etched on his features.

 

Sango made a sound of frustration and immediately the monk turned to the irritated youkai slayer. “Sango my dear what bothers you so?” Inquired Miroku, too polite.

 

Sango didn't pay attention the tone of his voice and responded, “ My timetable…on the back I wrote when Kagome, Rin and I are supposed to go to cheerleading auditions.” She released a triumphant `Hah!' not even a second later when a white piece of paper was pulled out of her large bag. She then announced it was right after school.

 

“Oh I forgot it was today! We don't have to work it's perfect! Are you guys coming?” Kagome replied cheerfully.

 

“Feh, once again I say why would I want to see-” Inuyasha started but was cut off my Miroku's eager response.

 

“Of course my ladies!! We'll be there and we will be cheering for you!” He suddenly gave an all too charming smile. “And of course we can notify if your outfits are in check.” Sango abruptly felt a smooth gloved hand groping her backside.

 

“ KYAA!! HENTAI!!” The demon slayer shrieked forcefully smacking Miroku on the cheek, the sound echoing throughout the hall menacingly. Some students turned their heads. Sango was breathing forcefully and her face was pitch red.

 

“Here we go again...” Rin sighed, exasperated. She took off one of her earphones and handed it to Sango. “Take it Sangie, you need it.” Sango's breathing slowly returned back to normal and her face color as well. She took the earphone gratefully, muttered something on the lines of `that he didn't look much tired anymore' and started listening next to Rin. Inuyasha snorted at Miroku while hoisting him up off the floor.

 

“Miro, you know Sango won't take that shit.” He warned. Miroku rubbed his cheek like it was a treasure. He had a lop-sided smile slapped on his face.

 

“That is what makes her all the more appealing!” Inuyasha shook his head at his dim-witted best friend. Sango, with her one ear uncovered glared at him and moved closer to Rin, shielding her butt. Kagome giggled at her friend's apprehensiveness. She turned to Sesshoumaru.

 

“Are they always like that...Inuyasha and Miroku? Miroku doing the groping at Inuyasha scoffing at him?” Kagome questioned, blinking over at Inuyasha and Miroku while they were arguing.

 

Sesshoumaru indignantly ridiculed. “Always. Have you and the other two ningens always been so close?” The youkai responded back, looking over at Sango and Rin...his eyes particularly resting on Rin.

 

Kagome noticed this and smiled. “Always. Besides Kaede were the only family we've got. And throughout all our lives...I've never seen Rin blush like she does around you.” Kagome replied smartly.

 

Sesshoumaru sharply looked at Kagome when the miko mentioned this. His eyes then connected with Rin's and she smiled sweetly. Sesshoumaru felt a sudden heat rise up in his chest and he couldn't quite understand what it was. The youkai cleared his throat and turned his head, his face never betraying the emotions he was thinking.

 

Rin saw Sesshoumaru look at her with something in his eyes she had never seen before. It was...odd. The ninja assumed it was the cause of whatever he and Kagome were talking about. `Great well, now I know it's about me...' In return to his gaze she gave her sweetest smile. It had the desired affect when the youkai had averted eyes first, a hint of pink tinting his cheeks.

 

Once the group had all caught up with each other they were nearing the cafeteria, Miroku still rubbing his cheek. Inuyasha had seen Kagome and his brother talking and felt an emotion he hadn't felt in a long time, jealousy.

 

`What the fuck do I have to be jealous for? Kagome's not mine, and she is definitely not interested in my dork of a brother...I think...' At that last thought he appeared at Kagome's side, then speaking to everybody.

 

“Oi! I'm starving here, let's get moving!” Kagome looked at him weirdly, but nevertheless followed suite, the rest of the group in tow. Right before they were going to reach the cafeteria Sango clapped her hands in delight.

 

“You have this song!!” Rin nodded eagerly back. Sango squealed, “You're the best!”

 

What they did after was not expected. They started dancing, with Rin singing the lyrics. Their dancing certainly had an affect on two particular males in the audience. Sango and Rin were swaying their hips close together do to the earphone length.

 

`Oh damn.... now she is beautiful...'Miroku thought, his eyes popping out of his head under his black bangs. The monk's navy-blues were locked to the dancing youkai slayer. ` I've never wanted something so bad....' His hands were shaking as they inched to touch the lovely Sango's smooth skin.

 

Her voice hypnotized him. Her dancing mesmerized him. Sesshoumaru could do nothing but watch enslaved, to the ningen known as Rin. Never had he seen something so...so...damn sexy. `Does she not know how stunning she is? How much her body affects this Sesshoumaru?...' He ripped his amber orbs away from the tantalizing scene and hastily darted off to the cafeteria.

 

The song ended with Sango and Rin laughing hysterically. Kagome shook her head at the pair and stood between them. “Did you guys take placebos or something? Wait a minute...” Kagome thought for a moment and turned to the youkai slayer with a look of utmost seriousness, it was almost believable. “No wait...Rin is always this way, Sango did you steal her sugar pills?” They broke out into hysterics, with the ninja shoving Kagome playfully on the shoulder. She then noticed something.

 

“Where did Sesshoumaru go?” Rin asked curiously her eyes seeking out his gorgeous sliver hair.

 

“He went to get his food and away from two crazed wenches.” Inuyasha said, a smirk on his lips and a note of teasing in his gruff voice.

 

Kagome giggled and rolled her eyes while her two other friends were still laughing. They set off in tow of the tall youkai.

 

“C'mon letch...your catching flies.” Inuyasha beckoned sarcastically.

 

Miroku snapped his mouth shut and forcefully placed his shaking hand at his side and shook his head clear. He then followed after his friends to walk beside Sango. A loud slap was heard once again.

 

~~~

“Alright...don't call us, we'll call you...next?” Kikyou chimed snobbishly, tapping her pink pen on the judging table.

 

Kagura was looking rather bored and Yura was once again playing with her hair. After an interesting lunch, a science class where Inuyasha and Kagome were partners for an experiment...with Inuyasha blowing up the chemicals sending putrid liquid splashing against his face and Kagome's. After a freaky co-ed gym class where Rin was the only female, and was added to Sesshoumaru's team for soccer...and wasn't half bad. Also after a boring math class where Miroku kept sending Sango notes...which she quickly became annoyed of. After all that, the bell that dismissed the school was an immense relief...and also a time for anxiousness.

 

Kagome, Rin and Sango were waiting by the bleachers on the football field, where the white judging table was situated not to far from the worn out benches. Kikyo and her lackeys were rudely remarking each and every one of the auditions, and the three members of Acid Rose were especially not going to receive good comments, they were at least sure of that.

 

Meanwhile, Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru and Miroku were sitting on the bleachers, halfway to the top. Miroku would shout encouragements; Inuyasha would try to make the girls even more nervous while Sesshoumaru scrutinized the tiny outfit Rin was wearing.

 

“Don't worry girls!! These other women don't even compare to you three lovely ladies!” Miroku shouted down off the side of the bleachers, down to where Sango, Kagome and Rin were waiting.

 

Sango made a loud disbelieving noise in the back of her throat. She responded back, “And I suppose you've seen us practice?...Or are you referring to the way we look?...”

 

Miroku hesitated. “Can it be both?...”He supplied sheepishly. Inuyasha smacked him in the back of his head.

 

Sango glared daggers at him, still annoyed of all the pointless notes she acquired in math class. Rin nudged her in the side. “C'mon Sango-chan take the compliment!”

 

Inuyasha leaned over to talk as well. “It's okay Rin she's just nervous if you girls screw up the routine, I definitely would-” The hanyou was cut short when Kagome hurled a pom-pom at his face before it fell back down and the miko caught it again.

 

“You know your making us feel ecstatic and so over-confident! Arigato!” Kagome's dry and sarcastic voice rang out.

 

Inuyasha held his hands up in defense at Kagome's glower. “Feh! I was just kidding.”

 

“Yes of course you were dog-boy...” Kagome mumbled knowing the hanyou could very well hear her. Actually the fact that he would be watching her made her quite nervous alone. The line of girls moved up. They just had to be last...

 

“Kagome my dear...he was only joking! You will do fine you have nothing to worry about.” Miroku countered, trying to lighten the mood.

 

Sango shouted back. “Nobody's laughing.”

 

Rin felt a shiver run down her spine as she sensed a pair of golden eyes staring at her back. She turned to look up at the familiar figure of her youkai friend. His gaze looked like...was he scowling at her outfit? Rin raised her eyebrow and mouthed `Like what you see?'

 

Sesshoumaru merely raised an eyebrow in return and smirked lazily shrugging his shoulders. Rin let her mouth fall open, mocking being insulted. She flipped her hair back and started to fake modeling her outfit, giving various forms of pouts. That got Sesshoumaru's other eyebrow to rise.

 

`What does this ningen think she's doing?' Sesshoumaru blinked at her teasing him. She looked cute enough to eat. A delicious shiver chilled his blood, spiking his youki. He forcefully pushed it down. He didn't want his brother to question.

 

Inuyasha felt his brother's youki do a weird kind of turn. He decided to no pay attention to it and resumed talking back to Kagome. What he saw made him growl forcefully. The mangy wolf had come out of nowhere and took the miko's hands in his.

 

“Hey Kagome, long to no see.” Kouga gave a breathtaking smile. To bad Kagome didn't buy it. `Didn't I see him yesterday?...' She smiled half-heartedly in return.

 

“OI! WOLF ASS! Why don't you go suck up to someone who cares!!” Inuyasha loudly shouted from the bleachers. Miroku put a hand on the hanyou's shoulder to keep him from jumping off and ripping into Kouga.

 

“Why don't you keep your huge mouth shut mutt-!” Kouga was cut off when Ayame came at an opportune time.

 

“KOUGA OOKAMI!! You're supposed to console me, I was just told to leave!!” When the wolf youkai didn't pay attention, Ayame screeched, “ GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE!!” That unfortunately stole Kouga's attention.

 

He kissed Kagome's hand good-bye, which caused Inuyasha above to go berserk, and turned towards Ayame, and before reaching the female ookami youkai he wished Kagome good luck and said he'd be cheering for her.

 

Kagome gave an exasperated look and waved good-bye for politeness. Sympathetically, Sango muttered, “He's got it bad...lucky you...”

 

“NEXT!!”

 

All three girls jumped when they noticed that no one else was in line and it was their turn. They distantly hear Miroku cheering, with Inuyasha still growling after Kouga's appearance. Sesshoumaru's calm face made their nerves relax. Kikyou looked up from the judging table and rolled her eyes at the next girls to audition. She reached over, whispered something to Kagura, in turn nodded, and fell back into her place with what you could call a malicious grin.

 

Rin popped her disk into the cd player and came back to the line that Sango and Kagome had formed. The three girls saw the guys' faces one last time before the music started up, it was a loud pumping beat and the next thing you know they flipped perfectly backwards, starting up their athletic routine. Sango's cartwheels were synchronized and fashioned to perfection. Kagome's legs swung up effortlessly as she made amazing leaps. Rin's splits were seamless, transitioned to become an amazing form of break dancing. All this synchronized with each other. They threw their pom-poms into their air while flipping backwards, only to catch them and fall into the most astounding splits ever seen, ending their performance.

 

Inuyasha and Miroku were left with their mouths open. Sesshoumaru was impressed. Now, that said a lot. Kikyou, Kagura and Yura were momentarily stunned, before gathering their bearings and Kikyou retorted.

 

“Well I don't think that's right up to standards-” She was interrupted when clapping was heard.

 

“Quite the contrary Miss. Kikyou...that was stupendous. Marvelous, and if I don't see them at our next football game, I'm going to have to reconsider who manages this cheerleading team.” All eyes snapped to the owner of this voice. Mr. Myouga Shouden; their principal. Kikyou and her lackeys looked dumb-founded for a moment.

 

Though only for a moment, until Kikyou muttered bitterly, “ Practice next Thursday...” With that she beckoned hastily for Kagura and Yura to follow, leaving the football field. Mr. Myouga Shouden nodded and congratulated Kagome, Rin and Sango. He was quite short, but held power all the same. Myouga was a flea youkai, and had a nasal voice. After he left, the three girls stood shock still for a moment as Inuyasha, Miroku and Sesshoumaru made their way over. Suddenly they screeched and started jumping, doing a little dance and laughing hysterically.

 

Miroku announced, “That was incredible ladies!! Did I not say you would make the team?”

 

Sango rolled her eyes playfully and responded cheerfully back, “In so many words I guess.”

 

“Keh.” Though internally Inuyasha was very impressed...and an image of Kagome flipping backwards was ingrained in the hanyou's head. The three girls gave high-spirited, dazzling smiles and Inuyasha could not help himself. He knew he would regret this...

 

“To, umm, I guess celebrate...” Inuyasha hesitated but everybody stopped talking to listen to him. “...You guys all wanna stay over for the night?” His hand flew to his long silver hair to scratch his head impulsively.

 

Miroku's eyes took on a weird look as he turned to Kagome, Sango and Rin. He smiled excitedly and offered, “That would be excellent! Please ladies, come.”

 

Instead, Sesshoumaru had a different reaction. His head snapped towards Inuyasha sending silver flowing, giving his otouto a, `Are you fucking kidding me??' look. Inuyasha waved him off and turned to the girls expectant. They blinked and were contemplating it for a second before Rin clapped her hands together and smiled.

 

“That actually would be fun! I'm in!” Her eyes flicked to Sesshoumaru before she turned towards her best friends.

 

Sango shrugged. “Sure, I'll call Kaede-sama.” She dug into her pocket for her cell phone.

 

Kagome beamed, the smile explaining itself. Inuyasha didn't regret suggesting it. `Well, this is going to be interesting...'
