InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Just a Girl ❯ Just a Girl ( Chapter 1 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

It's been a rough day for Kagome Higurashi. She's injured, PMSing and covered in demon guts. The last thing she needs is her friends to be there when she arrives...along with the boneheaded Hojo-Kun. There's only so much a girl can take...

Hey! It's me Luna!

Veron: And her most evil and famous rival-

Luna: She's my sidekick

Veron: ((anime fall))

Luna: ((grin)) I just bought Tragic Kingdom by No Doubt. Used of course. Much cheaper! ^_^

So I decided to use a song of theirs. My friends decided it was totally Kagome. So it's going to be in first person.

Hope you enjoy!

Veron: Your SIDEKICK?

Luna: SO I've been watching the Slayers movie too much. Got a problem with it?

Veron: Yes actually.

Luna: Hey YOU watched Spirited Away what 10 times?

Veron: ((silence))

Luna: n.n. Also, it is a tad OOC on Kagome's part and Hojo's as well.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Inuyasha. It be cool if I did, but I don't so there. And I don't own No Doubt or the song ` I'm Just a Girl' Gwen Stefani and Tom Dumont do. They wrote it after all. ^_^

Enjoy the fic!

*~*

Take this pink ribbon off my eyes

I'm exposed and it's no big surprise

*~*

“ You've been fighting DEMONS?” My friends cried out to me, shock evident on their faces.

I can't blame them, I come home bleeding and with remnants of demon bodily fluids all over me.

Not to mention Inuyasha was carrying me from the well house to my bedroom.

Just as they arrived to my front door.

And Inuyasha didn't have a hat to cover his cute lil ears.

How the heck am I supposed to get myself out of this one?

*~*

Don't you think I know

Exactly where I stand?

*~*

“ Um…yeah.”

“ THAT'S SO COOL!”

I really didn't expect that reaction from them. Or them goggling over how adorable my

`Savior's' ears were.

Then again, I did that so no big deal.

“ I can't believe you've killed demons. I mean, you're a girl!” Hojo had heard the aftermath of their happiness when he came to give me ` medicine'.

If Inuyasha growled any louder…

I glare at Hojo. He is a nice boy, naïve…but he's nice.

But he can't even fight his way out of a paper bag!

And he has the gall to say I shouldn't be fighting for my friends lives and my own because I'm a GIRL?

*~*

This world is forcing me to hold your hand….

*~*

Forget it, I am NEVER being put up to date him again!

I push against Inuyasha's chest to put me down.

Despite his glare of disapproval, I don't care. He can kiss the ground if he doesn't.

I march right up to Hojo, well limp really, but I'm in PAIN okay?

*~*

Cause I'm just a girl, little ol' me

Don't let me out of your sight

I'm just a girl all pretty and petite

So don't let me have any rights.

Oh I've had it up to HERE

*~*

I lift my hand and strike him smack across the face.

Stunned, he lifts his own hand to the pulsating red mark on his face.

“ I can fight demons. Much better than you can even fight a GIRL!” I cried.

Yes I'm injured.

And pissed.

And most likely PMSing.

And if Inuyasha does a damn thing his back will be broken in two, I swear on Sango's Hiraikotsu it will.

*~*

The moment I step outside

There's so many reasons for me to run and hide

*~*

“ I fight demons. My life and my friends' lives are endangered every day. There are so many reasons why I should wimp out and hide.

Mostly, because I'm a girl.

And some demons are scary looking and incredibly dangerous.

Forget that! I'm stubborn and I'll do whatever I can to help my friends even if I die doing it!”

*~*

I can't do the little things I hold so dear

Cause its all those little things

That I fear…

*~*

I pull off the small jar around my neck, the one containing the Shikon kakera.

“ See these?” I cry shoving them in Hojo's face.

“ I broke a legendary jewel that's incredibly powerful. So to fix my mistake I'm finding the stupid little pieces!”

*~*

Cause I'm just a girl.

I'd rather not be.

Cause they won't let me drive late at nite

I'm just a girl…

*~*

Hojo just stared at me, trying to comprehend my anger.

It's so tempting to shoot the poor boy and knock some sense into his empty skull.

I sigh.

I'm normally not this brash. But I have to take out my frustration, anger, and unrequited love on SOMEONE.

And he's more entertaining than Inuyasha spitting curses up at me from the dirt.

I watch him carefully with my eyes, trying to figure out what to say in return to his next comment.

That's when I notice, he's staring at…my CHEST!

That pervert! I understand he has hormones, but he's staring at me at a time like this? When I'm screaming everything I've kept hidden so long directly at him?

I'm drenched in blood, I've yelled my heart out at him and all he can think of is how good my breasts look having bloody cloth cling to them.

My eyebrow twitches.

*~*

Guess I'm some kind of freak.

Cause they all sit and stare at me with their eyes

*~*

“ Hojo…” I whisper venomously. I can tell even my friends noticed what he was doing and were growing increasingly angry.

I supposed I'd be considered a freak or unnatural in these times because I'm a miko.

So I might as well use this odd part of me to my advantage.

My trio of friends and dear little dogboy take a step back, as if to shield themselves from my anger.

Probably a good idea.

*~*

Take a good look at me

Just your typical prototype

Oh…I've had it up to here…

Oh…am I making myself clear?

*~*

He looks up and blushes realizing his zoned out boneheaded mistake.

Hey if Inuyasha stares at me, fine I don't care.

I'm in love with him anyway and it is flattering.

Though I have to pretend to be mad at him for it and fake that I don't like it.

Even…even if he sees Kikyo instead.

Miroku…well his excuse is hereditary so…

But HOJO?

Last person I expected. So he's pretty much sealed his doom.

“ Take a good look Hojo-Kun” I whisper sweetly as my hand fists close and slowly glows with a purifying light.

“ It's the last thing you'll see!” I cry as I punch him straight in the eye.

*~*

I'm just a girl

Oh I'm just a girl in the world…

That's all that you'll let me be!

*~*

He flies backward with a satisfying thump.

I didn't know I could do that. A purifying punch.

Cool.

Then, I smile.

Now I know why Inuyasha punches people so much.

…

It's FUN! ^_^

He stares up at me amist the blood in total shock.

I hear my girlfriends clap loudly behind me.

And Inuyasha's simple `Keh'

Hey that's enough praise for me.

*~*

Cause I'm just a girl living in captivity

Your rule of thumb

It makes me worry some

*~*

Hojo, it's time you are revealed from behind that fake `sweet', `hot', and `masculine' mask of popularity.

You're nothing then a perverted jerk-off!

“ Hojo-Kun, I can't believe for a second that any girl was actually flattered by your attentions you perverted freak of nature.”

He has the gall to get up and…laugh at me!

Guess I really have shattered that disguise of his.

I should've shattered his nose too…

“ So, you fight demons. Who the hell would want a chick like that? Who would want to fall in love with a girl that can fight for herself and not need them to do the manly thing and defend her? Who the hell would want to date a girl that was physically stronger then them? It's idiotic!”

This one actually caught me off guard.

*~*

I'm just a girl

What's my destiny?

*~*

“ I know a priest who's in love with a female taijya.

So obviously Hojo-Kun, it's not that hard. If you're smart anyway.”

Well Miroku's not weak anyway. Except for his weakness for groping female behinds.

But he doesn't know that so I can get away with it.

Hojo snorted.

“ And I have a destiny. I get to be a priestess who can probably shoot you straight through the heart. And I get to guard the Shikon shards.

You'll probably get a stupid office job with the secretary becoming your offside mislead mistress. While you have three children at home and a dopey little house wife who doesn't suspect a thing.”

Hojo stands up and clumsily dusts himself off.

“ Hey at least I'll be rich.”

I shrug and flick my hand toward him unimpressed.

“ How boring.”

*~*

What I've succumbed to

Is making me numb…

*~*

I glare.

“ You're a man, so please escort yourself from my home.”

I fake a curtsey.

*~*

I'm just a girl

My apologies.

*~*

Rolling his eyes Hojo starts to make his way out of the shrine.

“ You still need saving don't you.” He spits, turning to look at me.

I feel Inuyasha's eyes on me.

That is true…

*~*

What I've become is so burdensome

I'm just a girl

Lucky me

*~*

The Shikon detector that always needs saving…

Cause I'm a girl…

But…

I look behind me.

Well might as well lay out the entire puzzle out for everyone.

“ Yeah maybe I need saving sometimes. But at least the guy's handsome. And a hell of a lot braver that you.”

I see Hojo glowering at the most likely smirking/blushing hanyou behind me.

Can't blame him really.

Oh well.

*~*

I'm just a girl.

Twiddle Dee there's no comparison

*~*

I'm not Kikyo.

I'm not a shard detector.

Or some asshole's eyecandy.

Sometimes a burden.

But…

I'm Kagome Higurashi, the reincarnated Guardian of the Shikon no Tama.

So there.

*~*

I've had it up to…

I've had it up to...

I've had it up to here!

*~*

Hojo stumbles off and my friends embrace me, asking for forgiveness of ever trying to pair him up with me.

That's fine, if the world wasn't spinning around me at such a rapid speed from my loss of blood.

But I'll be okay.

I'm just a girl that's true.

But…as I feel myself faint and a pair of familiar arms catch me...

I think being a girl isn't all that bad.

I open my eyes a crack to see a fleeting glimpse of worry in my `hero's' eyes.

After all, since I'm a `useless' and `defenseless' girl, Inuyasha gets to save me.

The half-boy I know, like, hate, and love.

And currently he's carrying me up the stairs and my friends are fussing over my wounds since my family is out.

And as I feel myself fade into unconsciousness…

I feel fine.

Because, being a girl, is all I'll ever need.

*~*

Luna: YAY!

Veron: Hope you people like.

Luna: Yeah I know Kagome's heavily OOC as is Hojo but I wanted to make her REALLY pissed off. Makes her even more entertaining! n.n

Luna and Veron: Read and Review ONEGAI, PLEASE, AND PARVAVORE! ^_______^
