Chapter 4

Referrals and Ice-Cream

Kagome was grounded for the whole week; it sucked big time. She couldn't give her mother a reason why she had been out so late because it would have made the situation even more awkward (Yeah Mom, the reason I was so late coming home was because I was over at this boy's house… without his parents home!). So she just took the punishment.

The part that sucked the most was the fact that she couldn't even call Sango and tell her about the whole apology-turned-into-oddly-deep-talk with Inuyasha! She knew that Sango would have loved to hear about it, juicy details and all. Now she would have to wait until the next day to tell her instead of her clueing her in now. Bummer.

Luckily, now that she and Inuyasha were on better terms, it wouldn't be as unbearable to have him in all of her classes. Keyword: as. It wasn't too bad, but the fact that he cheated on Kikyo was still nagging at the back of her mind. Kagome decided not to mention Kikyo until she got closer to Inuyasha. If that ever happened.

Kagome rolled onto her side and fiddled with her alarm clock so that it would ring an hour earlier. That way she would have time to talk to Sango before school. Sango had band at seven O'clock to seven thirty and she could fill her in between zero and first period.

Kagome picked up the bottle of lotion that she always kept on her bedside table. She shook it upside down and smiled thoughtfully, “Perfect!” She exclaimed as she popped something that looked suspiciously like those hamsters in that messed up TV show for kids (otherwise known as Hamtaro) into the empty lotion bottle. Then she proceeded to pop the rest of the things into other empty lotion bottles.

“Now you'll all smell pretty after I clean your cages!”

RING, RING, RING, RING…

RING, RING, RI- Kagome's hand swiped at the alarm clock and managed to grope around and find the `Off' button. Errg, she thought, what a stupid dream…Kagome pondered over the meaning of her curious dream as she got dressed for school.

Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, Kagome threw a Pop-Tart into the toaster and rearranged her books to make her overloaded bag a little lighter so in ten years she wouldn't resemble Quasimodo from the Hunchback of Notredame.

“Bye Mom, bye Souta, bye Grandpa!” She yelled as she barreled out the front door, causing Souta to shout after her groggily, “Ever heard of sleeping in???” Kagome just laughed as she swung her leg over her bike and rode off in the general direction of her high school.

“Hamtaro… and lotion bottles?” Sango said, looking at Kagome oddly while adjusting the strap on her giant tuba. “Are you high?” Laughing Kagome asked if Sango thought it meant something, “Did you ever have a hamster you never took care of? Because I think your dream was telling you that you want your hamster to be in a happy, lotion-y place.” They both exchanged glances and then burst out laughing.

After they had calmed down a bit, Kagome explained how she had gone over to Inuyasha's house and talked to him a little. “…So he really isn't that bad after all!” She finished. Sango nodded her head, “I knew you'd see it my way!” Kagome raised her eyebrows, “Since when was it your way?”

Right then Mr. M, Kagome's first period teacher walked by, holding a large stack of papers. Kagome, not noticing the fact that Mr. M seemed a little overloaded at the moment called, “Hey Mr. M!” Poor Mr. M jumped straight up in the air, totally surprised because he hadn't noticed the two girls in the hallway. The large stack of papers landed successfully on Sango's unguarded head.

“Gee, thanks Kagome, I always wanted a pile of papers to conveniently fall on my HEAD!” Kagome rushed over to the shell shocked Mr. M and started apologizing as rapidly as possible. He waved her off laughing, “I'll pretend it didn't even happen if you and your friend help me pick up these papers!”

Kagome nodded introducing the two, “Sango, this is Mr. Miroku-my art substitute. Mr. M, this is Sango.” Sango and Miroku shook hands and Sango gave the substitute a jerky nod. “Nice to meet you-Sango is it?” Kagome totally missed the sarcastic tone of Miroku's voice, or the roguish look Sango shot at him.

“See you in first period Kagome!” Miroku called after the two girls when they were done cleaning the papers off the ground. Kagome waved merrily back at him. “Isn't he the coolest sub ever?” She asked Sango exuberantly.

“Yeah, he's also the most perverted.” Sango stated dryly. Kagome looked at her confused, “What was that supposed to mean?” Sango just made a little annoyed noise, “Oh-you'll see…” Kagome shook her head while rolling her eyes, “Yeah, whatever Sango…”

Kagome sat down in first period and unzipped her gigantic binder. Looking around, she saw that Inuyasha wasn't there. He better come… she thought to herself. As soon as she thought this she spotted the silver-red flash that was Inuyasha. He landed in the chair next to her, but he was running so fast that he toppled the desk right over.

“Ah, Inuyasha; I see you've decided to grace us with your presence.” Miroku said. Kagome was trying really hard to laugh, but it was just so funny! Inuyasha looked totally hysterical on the ground next to his desk with a sheepish look on his face.

“What're you laughing at?” He said to Kagome haughtily as he got up and dusted his rump off as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Kagome straightened out her expression and put an innocent look on her face, “Whatever do you mean Inuyasha?”

“Okay, when you two lovebirds are done flirting, can we please get started with class?” Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other and then started laughing. Inuyasha managed to force out a strangled “Lovebirds?” Before them both started laughing even more uncontrollably.

“Kagome, Inuyasha, since you both seem to be having fun, why don't you take it to the principal's office?” Miroku handed them both little green slips of paper, which he scrawled an explanation of why he was sending them up to the office.

“Oh great, it's only the third week of school and I've been sent to the office already!” Kagome moaned, “What's my mom gonna say?” Inuyasha looked at her like she was crazy. “Are you kidding? I never go to the office when I get a referral; I just ditch for the period and then come back the next period after that.” Now it was Kagome's turn to look shocked. No wonder he got expelled from his other school…

“Everyone does it,” He added. Kagome rolled her eyes. She knew that if they got found out they would be in even bigger trouble, but if they didn't, she didn't have to come home and explain to her mother that she had detention for the next week, as well as being grounded. Choices, choices…

“I guess so…” She told Inuyasha. “But just what will we do for the period?” Inuyasha pondered the question. “Well, not much, since it's only a period… but we could just ditch out all together. No one would know…” Kagome knew this was taking an even bigger risk… but she couldn't help it. She didn't want Inuyasha to think she was a wuss did she?

“What now?” Kagome asked. She and Inuyasha were sitting on a bench near where she and Sango had gone swimming. They were eating ice-cream. Licking a bit of sorbet off his finger, Inu Yasha answered, “I dunno, wanna go swimming?”

“I don't have a bathing suit.” Kagome reminded him. He just shrugged, “You don't have to wear a bathing suit to go swimming, you know.” He pointed out. Kagome smacked him over the head. “Pervert!”

“I didn't mean it that way!” He said quickly before Kagome hit him again. “I meant we can always go in our clothes.” Kagome laughed in realization, “Oh… duh.” Inuyasha rolled his eyes before stating, “You don't have to go swimming `cus you're a sissy, but I'm going in.” With that Inuyasha earned himself another hearty buffet over the head.

“I'm NOT a sissy!” Pulling off her outer coat, and thanking Kami that she was wearing a black tank-top under her white school uniform, she dived into the water even before Inuyasha could get his shirt off.

“Look who's the sissy now!” Kagome called to him as he climbed a large rock. Inuyasha looked down at her, “I'm not a sissy, I just want to-” He paused as he stood up and made sure he wouldn't slip off the rock, “-do this… CANNONBALL!!!” Inuyasha dove into the water in a little ball creating a large wave of water towards Kagome.

Screaming and laughing, Kagome splashed Inuyasha with her own mini wave of water. Spluttering, he went underwater again. He was under for a while and Kagome was starting to get worried.

Suddenly, she felt something grasp her leg. Shrieking, she looked down to find Inuyasha. He surfaced, gasping and laughing. Kagome pummeled him, “Now it's war!”

For the rest of the afternoon, Kagome and Inuyasha had a giant water fight. Too soon, Kagome realized that she had better be getting home. “Hey, Inuyasha,” She called, “I gotta go home!”

Inuyasha hauled himself out of the water. Kagome had to admit that he looked quite attractive. He was very muscular, but slim, and his skin sparkled in the dying sun. Some people's hair gets all knotty when they go swimming, but not Inuyasha. His hair was as smooth as ever. Kagome could see why her cousin liked him.

“I would invite you home, but I'm grounded so I can't have anyone over.” Inuyasha raised an eyebrow, “What makes you so sure I'd actually want to come over anyways?” He asked.

Smiling and shaking her head, she hopped on her bicycle. “Thanks for everything Inuyasha, see you tomorrow.” Then she started to pedal home, a small smile on her face.
