Chapter 25: Thoughts Of A Beauty Queen



Kagome's P.O.V



It's been about 3 days since InuYasha's heartattack and since then things went back to normal. He's been treating me like he was suppose to....like a daughter. I guess it was okay, but the stares and eyes we exchanged clearly said more than father and daughter. But what I was to do about it anyway. The damage was done and I could do nothing to change this fact. Hojo, yes, I love him and I know he loves me. I mean who could take me back after I slept with their father. I was truly lucky to get him back.....or was I?


I walked languidly down the halls with the normal group. Hojo by my side with his arm around me. Miroku and Sango, who for some reason was closer than usual. I would've heard a slap by now, but I didn't. I was like a black and white figure in this colorful picture. Everybody smilling and I was the only one with a frown. Why was I so sad? Was it because I couldn't see InuYasha today and have him hold me and kiss me like I wanted him to. It was killing me and no matter how much I wanted to forget him...I couldn't.


"So, Kag, are you ready for the game today." Sango said cheerfully.

I nodded my head and looked towards Sango and nodded. "Yeah, I'm ready?"


It was gameday and I wasn't ready for the whole big football scene. All I wanted was to go home and have fun with my good friends Ben & Jerry. I had to be there because the scouts from Toky University was going to be there for recruiting and it was very important to Hojo and it was a must being his future wife and all. God, 4 more days until my wedding. I was suppose to be happy, right? I was terrified that it was so close. I should've thought things through before I just up and decided that Monday morning in Sesshomaru's backyard was MY wedding day. Hojo decided to call Rin and of course she was thrilled and of course Sesshomaru wasn't hardly. To think that me, Kagome Higurashi, will become Kagome Taisho. It sounded so final changing your whole identity for a man. I think that is completely sexist. Why can't it be Hojo Higurashi? Maybe because I didn't want the final bond of his name onto mine. Maybe I should just ask for a hyphen. Yeah, I got to ask him that.

My mind babbled on and on and I didn't even realize that Sango was talking to me.
"Come on, Kag or we're going to be late for Chemistry." Sango said pulling my hand and out of my daydream.

"Alright, see you at lunch, sweetheart." Hojo said as he kissed my full on the lips.
I was somehow embarassed at the public affection even though before I met InuYasha I didn't mind. Was it that I felt guilty of kissing Hojo?

I sat down in the chair aside Sango just in a daze of amazement. "Kagome, Kagome?!"

I turned to see Sango worried face. "What?" I said.

"What do you mean, "What?" What the fuck is wrong with you today? You're acting really strange. I think you don't want to marry Hojo and you're scared."


Was I that transparent or was Sango a complete psychic? Well, you don't need a psychic to answer that. I wanted to tell Sango. Yes, yes. I don't want to marry Hojo and I am scared, but after all the drama I've been through the words that came out my mouth was:
"Sango, I can't wait to marry Hojo?"

Sango looked at me with skeptical eyes and I just prayed that she didn't see the lie that was hidden in mine. She nodded her head and turned toward the teacher.

I picked up my pencil and began to chew mindlessly at it wondering what was I going to do with my life. Everybody keeps telling me that "Oh your life is so perfect. You have the perfect boyfriend. You have the perfect grades." All I wanted was real love. The kind of love that'll make you bend over backwards for. The kind of love where when you look in the mirror all you see is them. I wanted that and I thought I had it with Hojo, but I was wrong and I thought I had with InuYasha and I was again proven wrong. Maybe the love that the movies speak of is fake and unreal. I mean every story has a happy ending. Why can't I?!

"Ms. Higurashi?!"

I looked up to see my teacher calling my name. "Um...yes.. Dr. Tudaka?"

"Please, listen."

I nodded numbly as the teacher began to talk about Sulfite formulas and I couldn't listen because there were other things on my brain. Everybody was happy for me and everybody praised me, but no one knew what was behind the doors of secrecy. Hojo loved me, but I would always be under him because if I ever try to get snippy I'll know he'll bring up my infidelity. Will he ever trust me? What kind of marriage will we have if he doesn't trust me? This was all fucked. I didn't realized that the bell had rung until Sango started to shake me.

"Huh?"

"Whats the problem, Kags?"

"Nothing." I said as I looke into her eyes and lied right to her face.


Me and Sango walked to my locker to put away my Chemistry book. "So, I have a little party planned for before your wedding."

I vigorously shook my head. "If its a bachelorette party, count me out."

"Oh, no. Thats not it at all. Its very special, princess."

"What is it?" I said solemnly as I shut my locker and we started down the hall.

"It’s a suprise." Sango said cheerfully and I just knew she was up to something.

We walked out of the double doors of the school and headed to the lunch area. I saw Miroku and Hojo talking, mostly about sports.

"Hey, guys." Sango said as she sat down and I did the same.

"Hello, my beautiful Sango." Miroku said rubbing her shoulder.

Sango shrugged him off. "Cut it out, Houshi."

Hojo wrapped his arm around me and hugged me close, like in a possesive way. Then I knew that he didn't completely trust me and didn't completely feel that I should be let out of his sight. Now, I don't know that for sure, but the way he held me said a lot to that.

"So, I guess the game today is going to be great." Sango said cutting her eyes to Hojo.

"Oh, I'm not worried about the recruits." He hugged me closer.

I did the only thing a supporting fiance could. I smiled and nodded in assurance. "Of course, you'll get it Hojo."

He kissed me on my forehead. "Thanks sweetie."

"You guys are so perfect." Miroku said smiling.

Of course Miroku never knew of me being unfaithful and it showed how much I hurt Hojo because he tells Miroku everything about me. Was I a shame to him? His touches were sometimes cold and distant and I knew it hurted him to look at me.





The crowds were roaring. We were playing our rivals, The Blue Blazers. I knew this game was important to everybody, but the only thing that was important to me was my situation.

The game hadn't started yet. They were just announcing the players for the other team. It was our job to hype up the crowd so we did the old routine that was so old that most of the crowd knew the cheer by heart. I shook my hips to the music that blared the speakers. I did my rountine expertly because I've been doing it for years. I looked to my side to see that Sango was nowhere to be found. I shook it off as I did my flip and landed into a split and the crowd cheered.

Let's Go Tigers! Let's Go Tigers! Let's Go Tigers! The crowd roared.

".....and its Heads. So ,the Red Tigers will kickoff" The crowd groaned as it was Blue Blazers ball.

I looked up into the stands to see traces of InuYasha, but I guess he didn't come. I pouted as I turned around and waved my pom poms hoping that my cheers had more energy than me.

"Miroku Houshi will be brought out for the kick. Miroku Houshi!"

I wondered where Miroku was and I turned to look at the coach and caught some of their conversation.

"You need to bring out your second string." The referee exclaimed.

"Absolutely not! My second string is a freshman and he can't kick snot!!"

"If you don't we have to give the opposing team 30 yards."

The coach took off his cap and threw it to the ground. "Shit! Give me fifteen minutes to find that boy."

“Alright, fifteen minutes and thats all I’m giving you.”

“Um...there seems to be a problem. Miroku Houshi is missing and we need to find him. Miroku Houshi, please report to the field!”


Author’s P.O.V


Meanwhile under the bleachers......

“Miroku.” Sango moaned breathlessly as Miroku attacked her neck with fevor.

“Sango, you taste so sweet.” He looked into her eyes and loved the firey depth of them.” Sango, I don’t want us to be a secret anymore. I want everybody to know how I feel towards you.”

Sango shifted uneasily “Whats wrong with how we are now?”

“Everything! I want to scream on the moutaintops that I’m with you, but you won’t let me.”

“...Miroku...I..I..”

“Mir oku Houshi report to the field, please.”

“Hey, did they just call me.” Miroku said hastily as he gathered up his helmet.

“Miroku Houshi!”

“Yep, that’s you.” Sango said straightening out her uniform.

“So, what’s up for tonight because maybe I could take you out.”

“Um....I might be a little busy. You’ll see me at the suprise party for Kagome.”

“But, I want to see you sooner than that. I...”

“Miroku Houshi?”

“Go on. You have to be out there.” Sango said quickly trying to get rid of Miroku before he said anymore.

Miroku nodded as he ran out of the bleachers into the fields.

Sango leaned against the cool metal and sighed. What had she gotten herself into? She wasn’t ready for this. He was nothing, but a jock. She walked out into the side field and stood by Kagome.

Kagome looked over and was suprised to see her. “Where have you been? You missed half the cheers.”

“Um...sorry. I had to work out somethings.” Sango said. Her eyes searching the field for him. Miroku kicked the ball sending it into the endzone and the wide receiver of the Blue Blazers caugh it and started running.

“You okay, Sango?” Kagome said placing her hand on her Sango’s shoulders.

“Yep.”

Kagomes’ P.O.V

I knew Sango wasn’t alright and it was something bothering her, but I didn’t have the strengthe to dig. I looked up into the announcers box and saw thr recruiters for Tokyo University. I hoped that Hojo got it because I knew it was his dream.

It was also my dream to become a renoun poet and have true love. Being a famous poet was a little out there, but I always thought that true love was going to fall intome life. I then turned towards the stand one more time hoping to see him. My eyes searched every face and every feature.

Then.....my eyes landed on...him. It was him! He stood there in a comfortable white button-up and khaki pants. His hair flowing endlessly down his shoulder. Then his sunset, topaz eyes landed on me and stayed on me. Everything seemed to disappear between us and everybody didn’t matter. Then he broke the stare and looked out into the field. God, I wanted to know what he was thinking. What was in his mind. Was I in it? Or was I nothing but a past memory? With a simple stare he tore me in half and I knew that my life was what it was pretreated to be. I would be with Hojo in a pity marriage with pity kids and a pity life.
