InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Dressing the part ❯ Doth Mine Ears Deceive Me? ( Chapter 22 )

AN- Okay, I didn't get a whole lot of reviews. Therefore, this chapter will, hopefully, be pretty shocking. I've kind of neglected everyone important but Kagome and Inuyasha. This one focuses on them, but others are in the mix more than the last few chapters.

Dressing the Part

Chapter Twenty-Two

Doth Mine Ears Deceive Me?

Hours earlier, while Kagome was about ready to be checked out, something extremely unexpected happened.

It all started when Kouga arrived back at the waiting room after grabbing some food. He was not happy. The nurse at the desk would not let him in to see Kagome. If he were any angrier, he could probably eat her. That's how utterly and unequivocally PISSED he was. She had been out of surgery since the night before.

He slept in the goddamn hospital. He was still in his dirt encrusted uniform, which was deceptively...restricting. He was smelly, cranky, and sleep deprived. In addition to that, he knew he was about to get into a fight with Yash.

He looked just as pissed as he, himself did.

"What are you lookin' at wimpy wolf?!" Inuyasha sneered as he stormed down the hall.

"Nothing but the ugliest piece of dog shit I've ever seen!" was the `witty' reply heard from the second of the two testosterone driven males.

"Go take your Midol somewhere else, fleabag!"

"I'll show you Midol, you mother fu-"

Suddenly, just as Kouga was about to attack the emotionally distraught Inuyasha, the nurse he hated so began a deafening announcement heard throughout the whole hospital.

"ATTENTION. ATTENTION. WILL DR. SHIKON PLEASE REPORT TO THE NURSES' STATION? WILL DR. KAEDE SHIKON PLEASE REPORT TO THE NURSES STATION? THANK YOU."

"Do you HAVE to have that think set to break the sound barrier?"

"Seriously."

"Who asked you, loser?"

"I'm not in the mood asswipe."

"Oh yeah? What's the matter? Did Jak wear you at last night? He did look pretty...satisfied."

"Don't start! I don't need this right now!!! I just found out Kagome's getting married and-"

Unfortunately for the boys, neither noticed the nurse turn on the PA system to make another announcement. However, she was not heard due to the racket made by Kouga.

"WHAT?! What do you mean Kagome's getting married?!!! She can't do that!"

Kouga didn't realize until after the words escaped his mouth that everyone in the hospital, including the newly arrived Sesshoumaru and Mrs. Higurashi, had heard the disbelieving bellow that erupted from Kouga.

Kouga was dead. The grim reaper, he would find out, was a beautiful seventeen-year-old girl named Kagome Higurashi.

The only cohesive thought throughout several people's minds was `Oh shit.'

*************************************************************** *****

Kagome had left secretly as soon as her mom popped up. She was so embarrassed. It had taken her over half-an-hour to explain everything to her mother, but she got her mother's support.

Kamiya Higurashi worried for her daughter. She always gave everything of herself to other people. Eventually, she feared her daughter's selfless nature would ultimately lead to her misery if she wasn't selfish at least once in a while.

She felt that despite her initial protests, the school had been great for her daughter. Kagome could just be Kagome. She could be a regular, cross-dressing... Okay, bad phrasing. But, Kagome had been a lot happier than in a long time.

It was too bad that all ended so quickly.

And now with the fake wedding...

She just didn't know how to react to that.

Why did only complicated things happen around this school?

*************************************************************** *****

Kagome had been cleared from the hospital much to Sango's relief...and Miroku's. Now that Sango was feeling far less guilty than she had, Miroku had no qualms about...admiring her amazing developments. Surprisingly enough, Sango had no qualms about it either. Miroku had awakened a fire in her he suspected was there the entire time.

With her fierce `Amazon' nature, she battled him for `control' in everything. He loved it. He loved the aggressive, but not overly aggressive, actions the beauty took. For years, she had held back because of her misinterpretation of Miroku's actions.

She truly believed she was less than perfect. Miroku simply could not understand how Sango, the most spectacular female specimen on the face of the planet could ever reach such a ridiculous conclusion. It greatly disturbed him, and at the same time flattered him, that the unwitting temptress had stored so much faith in his judgment over the years. Her opinions of herself had been based on the attention men, especially him, gave her.

Unknown to Sango, most of the other boys who would have willingly given the shrew seductress their attentions, had been beaten to a pulp shortly after Miroku would learn of it.

That just wasn't something she needed to know. He just prayed to whatever god watched over him that she never found out. This time she really would kill him.

*************************************************************** *****

Sesshoumaru had claimed he needed help at the club. He enlisted Kagome to come help before she left for good. They were supposed to meet Souta there.

She shouldn't be there. She should be saying good-bye to all the people she might never see again. Or at least for a little while. She would miss her friends, especially Sango. But, she knew not all of them would be too happy at being lied to.

She didn't intentionally set out to hurt them, but she did what she had to do to secure her brother's happiness.

Oh well. What was done was done. Sometimes it was better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission.

Kagome trudged into the club and watched as Sesshoumaru went beside the bar and groped for the light switch. When he finally flipped it, the only thing that entered Kagome's mind was `Oh shit.'

The room was decked it in full surprise party mode. Everyone there had scared the living daylights out of her. Many of the girls attended the party. To no one's surprise, Kikyo did not. They talked to her about life with those `sloppy, chauvinistic pigs' and asked if she had any advice for them. Her in-depth study of men in their natural habitat made her a far bigger expert than any of them.

She liked them. They were the first group of girls who really made her feel comfortable. She really loved them.

None of the guys had hard feelings over it. They merely saw her as one of the guys and joked about their `squandered opportunities'. All of them had been shocked at the unveiling of her...endowments. However, the embarrassment they felt for not recognizing the most beautiful woman in the world dwarfed their need to tease her.

"Well how were we supposed to know?" complained Hiten. "No one could have figured it out in the short time we knew her."

He quickly turned his head to face a laughing Kagome. "I guess no one's told you."

"Told me what Higurashi?" It made her feel good to know that some of the guys treated her exactly the same. Hiten was one of them. Although, Kagome suspected that his lack of interest had more to do with her bigger batting average than his dislike of her.

Hiten was one of those guys who couldn't handle having a girlfriend be better than him at anything.

Whatever.

It didn't really affect Kagome, so she really didn't care, but she did like making fun of Hiten egotistical, male pride.

"I guess no one's told you that Jak knew the second he saw me that I was a girl."

"How the hell did he do that?"

"Maybe he's just better at it than you."

She caught the look on Hiten's face. It was priceless.

*************************************************************** *****

Everyone had finished eating and the music started. The dancing had been...steamy.

After the music had been playing for maybe fifteen minutes she noticed that many of her friends were missing. Among them were Jak, Souta, Inuyasha, and Kikyo. Okay, so Kikyo wasn't `technically' a friend.

However, she briefly forgot about it as Sango halted the dancing as she gave a short, heartfelt speech about how she would miss her best friend after she left.

Te speech was beautiful. At least, it would have been if it weren't interrupted by the cries of all encompassing passion.

Oh my god.

Hiten had to voice a crude comment. "Kagura, want to join the orgy?"

If looks could kill... "Why don't you go fuck yourself, you shit-faced little hermaphrodite."

Grumbling, Hiten joined the group and moved closer to the sounds of something/someone banging against the door of the janitorial closet.

Kagome reached to open the door, trying to mentally prepare herself for what she was about to see. Little did she know that this would change everything.

She opened the door and out came...

"Jak?" Directly following him came "SOUTA?!"

A collective groan of anger was given by the girls in the room.

Kagura yelled in frustration. "Not another one! You damn Higurashis are the best looking men to reach the school and you get our hopes up before you turn out liking guys?! I might as well be a lesbian!!!"

AN-What do you think? Not too many chapters left. I am thinking about a lemon. Let me know. Please let me know. I need to know what is working and what sucks. Even if it isn't as good as it could be, I need you to tell me. I am on my knees...not like you're thinking, you perverts!
