Chapter Four:Confrontation





"Kagome! I'm going down to Shippo's!" came a far a way voice, dragging her out of her sleep, she recognized it as Souta. "Ok, lock the door behind you." she said sleepily as she rolled over. It took her a few minutes to process what was going on before she snapped up, her eyes wide.


"Wait! Souta! You haven't eaten breakfast yet." Kagome said as she tore herself from her blankets and stumbled down the hall. She yelped out in pain when her shoulder met the closet door that was open in the hall, effectively knocking her back a few inches. 'Stupid door!' she thought as she slammed it shut then continued down the hall, flinging open the front door and going out onto the landing.



She shook her head watching her brother bound down the stairs to meet the red headed boy that was outside. Slowly a smile began to grow on her face as she watched them talk and play for a while. 'Well, I guess I better get the day started.' she thought as she turned around and stretched, liking the feel of the breeze on her bare stomach.


'Stomach?!' she exclaimed in her head as she looked down and saw she was in her pajamas. Well, her sports bra and shorts. "Oh god!" she squeaked as she ran back inside, shutting the door behind her. "I'm such an idiot!" she mumbled under her breath as she walked into the kitchen, yawning again.



"Mom?!" Kagome called loudly, just to see if she was there, she shrugged when she didn't get a response. "It figures." she snorted as she placed a skillet on the stove then went to the fridge and pulled out some bacon and eggs. She went into the living room and turned the stereo on. It was bigger than the one in her room and she liked it cause she could really get the bass pumping.


Reaching under the cabinet she grabbed her huge CD case, she had a million of 'em! Randomly grabbing one of her burned CDs (it didn't matter since all of them had good songs on them) she popped it in then turned the volume up a few knotched under MAX. Kagome smiled as she heard it was Rhanna's album Girl Like Me, she bopped to the reggatone beat as she walked back into the kitchen, rocking from side to side as she turned the electric stove on and waited for it to warm up.





"Kisses don't, not they don't, never don't lie. You can run if you want but you can't hide." Kagome sang along as she cracked an egg and watched as it landed in the skillet and sizzled. She cracked another one and waited until they were done before getting a spatula and scooping the eggs onto a huge plate. "Now, for the hard part." she whispered to herself. She had bad experiences with frying bacon, she's always ended up getting burned or popped by the grease.



She laid about 5 strips in the skillet and watched as they began to crinkle up from the heat. She closed her eyes and took in the sweet and deletcable aroma of breakfast. 'Speaking of kisses....' Kagome thought as last night replayed itself in her head. She had so much fun. And she couldn't think about anyother better ending to a night than having THE hottest guy you've ever seen kiss you.



She blushed as she remembered the feel of his lips on hers, her stomach flipped again, she lifted her hand to her lips. Suddenly there was a loud beeping sound and Kagome snapped out of daze. "Oh shit!" she cursed flippantly as she saw that the 5 strips of bacon were burnt to black crisps and smoke was bellowing into the air. She hurridly put the skillet on a cold burner and turned the stove off.



She turned the fan on to get the smoke out and opened the balcony in the living room, the cool air welcoming to her hot skin. 'Guess it's just egss. And ramen.' she thought with a sigh as she walked back into the kitchen and grabbed an 'Instant Ramen' cup. After putting some water in it she placed in the microwave. 'Stupid! I almost burnt the house down over some guy!' she thought as she blushed in embarrassment although no one was there.



When the microwave beeped she sighed out happily and grabbed a fork, opening the door then mixing the noddels around. "Mmm, chicken!" she gushed happily as she grabbed her eggs and sat down, alone at the big dining table, music her only company. She began to think of Inuyasha as she ate, and realized she actually didn't know much about the guy. Except that he could be a jerk and immature and....a jerk.




Was he cheater? A playboy? Manwhore? Hell, was he bisexual?! She didn't know. Now as she began to think she began to get angry, 'Hmph! Inuyasha looks like the kinda guy that can have any girl he wants....and I bet he usually does! Wait, am I calling him fine? Of course he is but-ARRG!' she thought as she slammed her fork down on the table, her thoughts were confusing her and angering all at the same time.


"Why that dirty little playboy! Well, my lips will NEVER touch his again!" she vented as she pushed her empty plate away and stood from the table, cup of noodles in hand as she returned to her room, still rocking to the beat as she began to think what she would do on her second day in New York. When she was finished with the noodles she drank the juice. "Ahhh! Now, I feel ready to take on the day!" she giggled to herself, tossing the styrofoam cup in the waste bin.





Settling on a pair of dark blue Dickie hip huggers and a powder pink tube top that had a tie in the back. Her friends had thought she'd got cause she was pregnant (it did look kinda similar to maternity wear, but too fashion forward) but she got it cause she liked pink. She never really did dress girly much, why spend time in the mirror when she could be dancing?



She walked into her bathroom and smiled, she would could get very used to this but knew that she couldn't let herself. Anything was bound to happen with her Mom being the 'head' of the family. She walked over to the shower that had three shower head. 'Wow...I am REALLY gonna like this.' she thought as she set her bath things on the bench that was in the huge shower.




She could still hear the music which was playing in the living room and began to sing along as she turned the shower on, it took her a couple of minutes to adjust to THE perfect temperature. Soon the bathroom was warming up and becoming steamy as Kagome stood under the water. 'This is truly heaven!' she thought as she didn't have to turn around to get her whole body wet like she would have to do if she only had one shower head.



"It's you that I live for, and for you I die. So I lay here with you, 'til the final goodbye." she sang along with the song softly as she wash her hair. The song was soft and beautiful, it touched Kagome's heart which was why it was one of many favorites. She tapped her foot to beat as she rinsed her hair then conditioned it.




"Ahhh!" Kagome sighed as she stepped out of the shower, closing the clear door behind her. She shivered as she dripped on the floor, the normally warm air fridgid now, making goosebumps pop up on her skin. She hurridly dried off, put on some Jergens sprakle body lotion and her underwear. 'Now, I'm warm.' she thought as she wrapped her wet hair in a towel.




She walked over to her vanity and sat down in front of it, pulling out her blow dryer and flat iron. 'Now this is gonna take a while.' she thought with a long sigh. Sure she wanted to look good, but she hated the things she had to do to look good. Like blow drying, and staigtening, shaving your legs, all that stuff! But of course she was gonna do it, cause it would be gross not to shave your legs, ew!




By the time she was done blow drying her arms, her arms were hurting and burning from all the brushing and combing she had to do. Kagome had long hair, not only long but thick too, so it was extra work to blow dry it. "I think I'll just leave it bone straight, falt ironing does not sound fun right now." she mumbled as she stood from her vanity and walked to her bed where she'd laid her clothes out.



She put her jeans on, her eyebrows rising when she noticed they fit tighter. 'Yay! Shopping!' she thought happily as she figured her wardrobe was due for a change. Although she wouldn't know if her mom would let her go to the mall. Hell, she had her living right next door to her school so she could keep a better eye on her.




"Crap! I forgot about school!" Kagome sighed relunctantly as she put a hand to her forehead. She really did NOT want to go to Shikon Heights High. I mean c'mon! Who wants to go to a school that's like, right across the street from home. And Kagome knew her was probably gonna call the school, keep tabs on her grades and crap like that. 'I oughta fail on purpose, just to see the look on her face.' she thought as she narrowed her eyes. Then walking back into the mirror she stared her relfection straight in the eyes.



"Keep it together Kagster! Don't let that woman ruin your day." she smiled to herself then nodded as she began to sing along to the song that was playing now. "Cause a girl like me, is just a little diffrent from all the rest. And a girl like me, never's gonna settle for second best." she sang as she put her tube top on. It was kinda long, coming down to her hips as it flared out from her form in that A line that was constantly talked about inthe fashion world.



It was sinched right under her breast so her waist looked smaller than it already was and her hips looked bigger than what they truly were. She tied it tight in the back, the ribon was long and it fluttered in the air evertime she walked. "Now, what shoes to I where." she mutetred as she stood in her sort of walk in closer, staring at her small shoe collection that was on the shelf. She chose some black slippers and then that was that.





'I wonder what Sango is up to. I know, I'll visit her!' she thought excitedly as she walked out of the bedroom and down the hall. Making sure the front door was locked behind her she turned and walked down a few door then knocked on Sango's room. "Sango?! Are you awake?" Kagome yelled through the door. She was about to knock again when it flew open, revealing a Sango clad in a red speghetti strap shirt and red pajame pants with puppy dog slippers.




"Rise in shine! It's like almost noon, what are you doing sleeping?!" Kagome said loudly, smiling when Sango rolled her eyes and let her in. Kagome shut the door behind her and watched as Sango, who looked a bit like a zombie, go into the kitchen. "It's only eleven, what are you doing up?" Sango shot back as she walked back into the living room, a huge steaming mug in her head. "I didn't know you drank coffee." Kagome said, suprise in her voice.



"I don't. This is green tea, bitter an all. The awful taste helps wake me up." Sango chuckled then took a big swig of her cup, grimacing as she sat it down on a table then plopped down in the recliner, motioning for Kagome to sit down on the couch. "So, what happened after me and the perv fell asleep?" Sango asked in an inquiring voice. 'Does she know about the kiss?! That can't be possible!' Kagome thought, panicking for a few seconds before smiling. "Well, if my memory serves me right me and Inuyasha watched the movie then left. Was something supposed to happen?" she said cooly, trying to pretend as if nothing happened.



"Hmmm. All right, if you say so." Sango said then grabbed her mug and took a long sip. Kagome felt her breathing speed up as she began to feel as she was gonna explode. "Ok, ok if you're gonna drag it out of me! Inuyasha kissed me last night." Kagome blurted out, feeling better once she let it out but a little embarrases as Sango smiled widely, her eyes narrowing in delight.



"Are you serious! Yes! I mean- uh, did you like it?" Sango asked trying to down play her happiness. That evil witch Kikyo had been trying to get with Inuyasha for years now, it was about time that he got away from the sluts he normally associated with and got to know a REAL girl.



"Did I like it? What kind of question is that? Of course I did. But if you tell Inuyasha that I SWEAR to every God known to mankind I WILL castrate you." Kagome said wagging her finger at Sango in a deadly manner. "You can't castrate me. I'm a girl," Sango said sticking out her tounge, as if she had the upper hand smiling when Kagome threw her a fake glare, "besides if you liked it why wouldn't want him to know?" Sango asked as she curled her hands around the warm cup, glad for the warmth it provided.



"Duh!I bet Inuyasha can and usually does have any girl he wants. I just don't want to be another one of his 'conquests'." Kagome said making quotation marks with her hands. Sango winced slightly, Inuyasha really wasn't a playboy really, he was more of a swinger. Always moving from one girl to the next UNCONCIOUSLY of course. "He's not like that really, Kagome. Inuyasha is really a good guy." Sango said gently, Kagome's lips pressing together slightly.



"Uh, yeah. That's what they WANT you to think." Kagome said with a chuckle, smiling when Sango rolled her eyes. "Seriously Kagome, Inuyasha is the nicest guy I know. He just doesn't know how to pick the right girls. He's gotten hurt a couple of times." Sango said narrowing her eyes as she remembered the cruel joke Kikyo had played on him in the 5th grade.



"How can a playboy get hurt?" Kagome asked seriously. "That's it, he's not a playboy. He's just looking for love in all the wrong places." Sango said then smiled as she leaned forward. "But now that you're here I think he's got a shot a true happieness." she added as if it were a huge secret. "Oh no! I don't want no part of this!" Kagome said as a blush began to grow on her face.



"And why not?" Sango asked. "I don't know, Sango. Doesn't he have a fanclub?" Kagome asked worriedly, she did NOT want to be chased by a gaggle of girls for dating 'their' Inuyasha. "It's more like a cult acutally." Sango giggled as she finished off her tea, fully awake now. "They worship him?" Kagome full out laughed, now THAT was too good. Inuyasha being worshiped? How rich!! 'I wonder if they now how much of a jerk he could be...' Kagome pondered as Sango stood and stretched.


"I'm gonna go get dressed. Do you wanna go down to The Spot?" Sango asked as Kafome stood and followed her down the hall. "The Spot?" Kagome questioned as she entered Sango's room. "Yeah, it's like a little cafe. Although with a dance floor, pool tables, karaoke and...oh yeah, hot waiters." Sango said wiggling her eyesbrows at Kagome then went to her closet as she began to look for something to wear.




"Count me in. Let's go oggle the hotties." Kagome said shimmying her chest, making Sango double over in laughter. Suddenly there was a loud banging on the door and Kagome jumped, it had startled her slightly. "Can you get that, I wanna go take a quick shower." Sango asked and Kagome nodded with a smile and walked towards the door. Kagome took a few minutes to make sure her hair was ok and her clothes were straight. 'What am I primping for?! Just open the damn door already!' she yelled at herself as she placed her hand on the knob.




She opened the door and smiled widely when she saw it was Rin. "Kagster! Hi-hi!" Rin chirped as she glomped Kagome with a bear hug. "Hey Rin...can't...breath." Kagome wheezed softly. "Huh?" Rin asked, looking up at her as she continued to hug Kagome tightly. "I...can't...breath..." Kagome trailed off as her face was starting to turn a light shade of blue.


"Oh, I am sooo sorry!" Rin said as she instantly let go, her hands over her mouth in apology. "No prob'. Sango's getting dressed now, we're about to head down to The Spot. Are you coming?" Kagome asked as they walked back into Sango's room. "I was coming up here to ask the same thing. Yay, now we can hall hang out ALL DAY." Rin said with a smile, making Kagome laugh. "I'm glad, we have a lot to catch up on. Two years worth." Kagome said and Rin nodded in agreement.




Rin and Kagome talked for a while. Rin began to tell Kagome about the school and how usually everything goes there. She was just talking about some girl named Kikyo when the bathroom door opened, stream bellowing out as a naked Sango stood in the doorway.


"Whoa! Full frontal Sango, not what I need." Kagome said with a laugh as she and Rin began laughing. "Oh pur-leese! We all have vaginas here." Sango said as she put on her underwear. "Well, someone's not as self-concious as they used to be." Kagome said, nuding Rin with her elbow.



Rin nodded as they smiled at Sango mischieviously. "Yeah, remember gym class. She's always change in the bathroom stalls." Rin said teasingly, making Sango roll her eyes. "Well, that's the past, and now I've got boobs. So if ya got it, flaunt it. Am I right, or am I right?" Sango laughed as Rin and Kagome giggled. "Right, as always Sangy." Rin chirped. "Din, ding, ding we have a winner! Kagome tell her what she's won!" Sango said in a spokes person voice.



"A date with THE hottest guy on the face of the planet-" Kagome began. "Oh Sesshomaru! He's sooo hot!" Rin cut her off as she put her hands to her heart. Her cheeks reddend slightly as Kagome and Sango exchanged looks. "Uhh, someone is feining for Ses-sho-ma-ru." Kagome teased as she poked Rin in the side, stressing each syllable of his name. "Damn right I am! If only he would look my way." Rin said, her tone changing from exubarent to wistful as he shoulders slumped slightly.



"Don't worry Rin, I'm sure he notices you. But you know how Sesshomaru is with words." Sango said comfortingly as she placed a hand on Rin's shoudler. "Now, which should I wear? The black...or the purple?" Sango asked holding up two shirts. One of them was a black halter top which had sparkles on it and the other was a purple tube top which was similar to Kagome's but had a few diffrences.


Like the fabric was bunchy(made that way) and had a light metallic ribbon right under the bust, and had see through layer of dark purple chiffon over it while the fabric under it was the same metallic purple as the ribbon. "Purple." Rin and Kagome said in unison. "Isn't that Miroku's favorite color?" Rin asked arching her brows as if there were deeper meaning to her picking out a purple shirt. "Purple? Are you sure Miroku isn't gay? Purple is such a feminine color." Kagome said as Sango finished getting dressed.



"Trust me Miroku is NOT gay. Metrosexual maybe. Gay, not at all." Rin and Sango said at the same time, as if they were asked that all the time. "He could be Bi. Ya never know." Kagome put out and they all exchanged silent looks for a few moments before they all shook their heads and ended the discussion with a unison, "No way".



15 MINUTES LATER: THE SPOT





"Ok, now I can work with this." Kagome said with a smile as she and the girls strolled through the double doors of The Spot. The floor was black and shiny. There were about 20-25 high tables spread about the floor, a couple of them full, with tall stools with black cushions.


"Wow, I feel like I walked into a sticom or something." Kagome joked as she walked past the counter where they sold food and drinks. "So, pool or dancing?" Rin asked as they stood in the part where the cafe merged with the pool room. The music that was playing was loud, but not ear shattering like the club, which made for a more laid back vibe.


Kagome watched as a tall boy with short black hair in a slightly tight red shirt walked past her and into the pool area, he looked very good actually. "Pool!" Kagome cheered, Sango and Rin seeing who had caught her eye. "Oh, he's cute. Go work ya thang girl." Sango said as Rin snapped her fingers back and forth, making Kagome laugh as they walked into the pool area and grabbed a table.




"Uh, I'm not too good at pool." Kagome said as Rin and Sango grabbed their sticks, handing one to Kagome. "It's ok, it's easy." Rin said with a smile, her hair changing from shades of black to dark blue as the light hit her hair. "All you do is line the ball like this and-" she said leaning down as she aimed the stick at the white ball, then hit it as it collided with the triangle formation of balls in the center. "See, easy as pie." Sango said.



"Ok, so all I line it like this?" Kagome said as she walked over to the ball and leaned down, her hair falling around her face like a curtain as she aimed with one eye close. "Yep, then go for it!" Rin said. Kagome pumped her back and forth a few times as she wondered how much force she should hit it with. Then figuring she's just wing it she hit it as hard as she could.

She frowned when the white ball completely missed the ball she was aiming for and just hit the edge of the table, rolling to a stop near one of the side pockets. "I'm better at dancing than this!" Kagome pouted as Sango and Rin laughed. "I'd say. I've never seen something so horrid in my life." came a suprisingly familair voice. A voice she happend to recognize without having to turn around.



"You're such a jackass Inuyasha." Kagome said with false cheer as she turned to face him, smiling widely. "I know, I try my best. Now, let me show you how a natural does it." he smirked as he walked forward, taking the stick from Kagome as he grabbed the white ball and positioned it to where it was before Kagome had hit it.



"Inuyasha, you're messing with our game." Rin pouted. "It'll only take a minute. Then you and Sango can return to creaming her." Inuyasha said as he took aim. 'Hmph! I'll show you cream!' Kagome thought indignantly as she took a couple of steps closer to Inuyasha.

"PERVERT!" came a loud shrill and smack over the music. "Great, here comes the pervert." Sango said with a sigh, although the didn't miss the split seconds she ran her hands over her clothes in hair, TRYING to look casual. "You sound suprisingly happy about that." Rin said to her under her breath. Miroku soon appeared near the table, dragged by Sesshomaru of course. 'Oh, so this is Sesshomaru. I could see why Rin is so smitten with him.' Kagome thought as she glanced him over then turned her attention back on Inuyasha, set on revenge for his wise crack earlier.




Then right when he made to the hit the ball Kagome walked past and bumped her hip into the stick, almost knocking it out of his hand as it hit the other balls on the table. "Oops, I should be more careful. Sorry Inuyasha." Kagome smiled sweetly, almost too sweetly. Rin and Sango giggled as Inuyasha stood up, letting the bottom of the stick hit the ground. "You did that on purpose." Inuyasha said stepping forward.



For the next few seconds Kagome eyes were trained on Inuyasha's lips. She was watching them move, but yet she heard no sound coming out. 'Hmm, I wonder if he'll still taste the same if I kiss him....GAH! What am I doing thinking that?!' she thought as her face began to turn flaming red.



"Kagome, uh, Kagome." Inuyasha said waving his hand in front of her face. "Rin, Sango. I think I broke Kagome." he said in a worried tone as he pointed to the dazed girl with the beet red face. "Huh? Someone say my name?" Kagome said suddenly, snapping out of her chain of thought.




"Yeah, are you thirtsy?" Rin said, arching her brow up, signaling that whatever she didn't know they need to tell her. "Uh, parched acutually,hehehe. Let's go." Kagome said chuckled off handedly then turned and rushing towards the concession stand. 'I can't believe I was thinking about him like that, again. And it was only in a span of 15 minutes. Please God, let this only be hormones.' Kagome prayed as they neared the stand.




"Ok, something's up. Spill." Rin said instantly as they stood in line behind a gaggle of girls who were bust yaking away and checking eachothers makeup. "Ok, ok, ok. Inuyasha kissed me last night and I don't-" Kagome began. "HE DID WHAT?!" came a yell, although it was the reaction she was expecting from Rin, the voice wasn't quite right.




Kagome turned to look from Sango and Rin and saw it was the girls from the Spa yesterday. 'Great, just friggin' great!' she thought with a sigh as she rolled her eyes. "Um, I believe this is a conversation among friends. You Kikyo are definetly not one of them." Rin said coldly, almost as emotionless and stoic as Sesshomaru. She wouldn've made him proud if her were to see this.


"Anything that involves MY Inuyasha is my business. I bet this little slut right here through herself at him." the girl named Kikyo said, her pink glossed lips curling into a snarl as she stepped towards Kagome. 'Thank God I stayed in Compton, I had to put up with this shit daily...' Kagome thought as she crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. "Don't worry, I got this." Kagome smiled to Rin and Sango then turned to Kikyo, her eyes hardening visibly.



"You're the slut, look at what you're wearing. Super tight mini skirt, itty bitty tube top and heels, to a cafe no less. What are you trying to do, find a pimp?" Kagome shot back with just as much attitude. She would not back down. Not only did this THING just call her a slut, but something about her just rubbed her the wrong way. From her entirely to light extensions to her pedicured toes, she just reeked of....BITCH.


"As I said earlier, you must not know how things go around here." Kikyo said with a smile, although you could hear the razor edge in her voice. "Oh I do. You're the queen of all sluts who spreads her legs for any guy and for some odd reason everyone just bows on their knees and respects you for it." Kagome said with a smirk, her eyes smoldering with fire. The two girls behing Kikyo gasped in unison as if she'd just broke some unspoken law or something. "True, true." Rin chirped, a little emotion in her voice. "Hit the nail on the head Kagome." Sango chuckled, as the two girls behind Kikyo threw daggers at them.



"You better watch yourself trick. You're dead in my book!" Kikyo sneered, stepping to Kagome so they were nose to nose. Well nose to lip considering Kikyo was taller than Kagome in her heels. "Perfect. I wouldn't have it any othe way." Kagome smiled then turned to Sango and Rin.



"Go Kags!" they mouth with thumbs up, making Kagome laugh. "Oh, and Kikyo, you forgot something." Sango said suddenly making Kikyo turn around. "You need these, you can still smell the dick on your breath." she continued, tossing a pack of tick tacks into Kikyo's hands then they turned and walked back to the pool area, missing the evil look that crossed Kikyo's face.




"You told that bitch! I love you!" Rin cheered, glomping Kagome again. 'At least I can still breath...' Kagome thought with a smile as Sango and Rin put their arms around her as they walked, Kagome in the middle. "But the breath mint thing was the best part, hilarious." Kagome giggled as Sango smiled.



"What was all that about?" Miroku inquired as they made it back over to the pool table. "All what?" Sango asked in a confused voice. "Don't play dumb with me. I saw you three face off with 'Them'." Miroku said making Sango sigh. "Um, I think that's something we can talk about later. Let's just have some fun, 'kay?" Sango asked as Miroku walked over to her.



"Of course. You do know purple is my favortie color, right?" Miroku said with a smile as Sango flushed a bright pink. "Why do you think I chose this?" she asked making him smile. She turned around to grab a pool stick but stiffened as she felt a familiar hand on her backside. 'He never learns!' she snapped in her head as she clenched her jaw and her grip on her pool stick tightened. "PERVERT!" Sango yelled as she wacked him over and over on the legs with the pool stick. The others laughed as they watched Sango beat him to a pulp, even Sesshomaru cracked a grin or two.
