Chapter 5:

 

~It's Not My Fault I'm Related to Someone Famous!~

 

Kagome couldn't believe how much she had come to like Inuyasha in the past three weeks. It wasn't the kind of `love' like between girlfriend and boyfriend, heck, it wasn't even a crush. She guessed you could call it a mutual friendship, without the benefits…

She didn't exactly know how Sango would react to Kagome ditching class, and she didn't even want to know what she was going to say when Kagome told her who precisely she had played hooky with. Maybe I shouldn't tell her at all…Kagome thought to herself. But than again, Sango was the one who told her to lighten up on the poor guy in the first place…

Kagome shook her head, mentally scolding herself. Why shouldn't she tell Sango? It's not like she would hate her just for becoming friends with the most popular, girl-loved, boy in the whole school… She winced. It might be a good idea to break it to her gently.

Kagome changed into her pajamas and jumped into her bed, cuddling her gigantic calico cat, Buyo. Buyo let out a strangled meow as Kagome squeezed him happily. Life was good. Letting Buyo go, Kagome pulled her covers up to her chin and clicked off her light. Her last thought before drifting off to sleep was… Now all I have to worry about is Kikyo finding out…

The next day at school, Kagome met up with Sango as usual. Sango was at the edge of a large crowd of people. They all seemed to be seniors and they all were wearing designer clothing and had expensive purses cradled in their arms. That could only mean one thing: the high and mighty were flocking.

“So I guess there's a new guy in town, he must be pretty popular.” Sango remarked moodily. “It's sad how low the student population of this school has sunk.” Kagome nodded in agreement; the high school was divided into groups. The popular kids, the geeks and nerds and the people who weren't genius' but weren't considered popular either. Kagome and Sango fit into the latter of the three. Inuyasha on the other hand, Kagome realized, fit into the former.

Sure enough, Kagome spotted a flash of silver hair in the crowd. She stood on tip-toe to get a better look at him. Suddenly, she wished she hadn't. Inuyasha was surrounded by a large pack of handbag swinging, make-up slathered, giggly girls. The right words to describe the scene she was witnessing would have to be either `idol worship' or `disgustingly preppy'. She didn't care which.

Sango, on the other hand, was busy trying to get a look at the person everyone was crowded around. “Kagome, who do you think it is?” Kagome looked out across the crowd. “I dunno. Probably a guy though, you can tell by all the shrieking. No normal person, besides a hyperactive girl could produce such an ear-shattering sound.” She answered, her eyes unconsciously straying back to Inuyasha.

The bell rang and Kagome made her way to the double doors that welcomed students to the brainwashing slave-drive that made them all into mindless drones. As odd as it sounded, she was looking forward to art class. No giggling, shrieking girls would be there hanging all over Inuyasha and making her feel totally uncomfortable, at least.

Slipping into her seat besides Inu Yasha, Kagome smiled at him. He nodded back, smiling. “So who's the new kid on the block?” Kagome asked, feigning curiosity. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

“He's my half-brother, Sesshomaru.” Kagome gasped. She never knew that Inuyasha was related to Sesshomaru, the famous designer. Inuyasha scowled. “Yeah, I usually get that when people find out about him. It gets kind of annoying.” His voice more than hinted that he thought as his brother more like the family member that went crazy who was locked up in the attic than a superstar.

Kagome blushed. She hadn't meant to piss off Inuyasha. “Oh. Err, sorry about that. It's just-you don't get to meet a famous person every day, and then to find out that you've been hanging out with his brother-well it's just a little surprising.” She explained, hoping she didn't make Inu Yasha even more annoyed than he already was.

“Yeah, whatever.” He brushed off her awkward apology, “I'm just not on the best terms with my half-brother.” Kagome noticed how Inuyasha emphasized the `half' in half-brother. I don't think he likes his half-brother very much…Kagome thought (wow, your so smart Kagome, I would have never figured that one out!).

“Well you'll have to get me his autograph sometime.” Kagome told him cheerfully, punching him playfully on the arm. Inuyasha gave her a look of pure hatred. Raising her hands in a truce, she said quickly, “Just joking Inuyasha!” Inuyasha blew out an exasperated breath. Kagome thought she heard him mumble, “It's not my fault I'm related to someone famous.” Kagome chose not to comment on his last statement, knowing she might as well just throw herself off a cliff; it would be in sense, the same effect.

“Hey Kagome!” An exuberantly cheerful voice came from behind her. Kagome jumped straight out of her chair. Turning around she came face to face with Sango. “S-S-Sango, what are you doing here?” She managed to stutter. Sango smiled as she sat down on Kagome's other side.

“Oh, well, since I have my elective for zero period, you know band, I got out after fifth period. The school didn't want that to happen, so they put me in art, so now I have two electives!” Sango gibbered. Kagome smiled, hoping that Sango wouldn't realize who was sitting on the other side of Kagome.

“Hey! You're Inuyasha!” Kagome sighed, as the plan to convince Inuyasha to stay well hidden toppled. “Your Sesshomaru's brother huh?” She asked him excitedly. How does everyone know this except for me?! Kagome thought as Inuyasha sighed, rubbing his head (“half-brother, half-brother!!!!”).

Kagome managed a slight smile as she watched Sango try to convince him to get her a free V.I.P. ticket to Sesshomaru's next big fashion show. Kagome realized that Sango hadn't mentioned the fact that she wasn't the biggest fan of Inuyasha. I guess she doesn't want to spoil her chances of getting that ticket. Kagome glanced to see the pathetic look on Inuyasha's face. “Here we go again…”

“Are all your friends that hyperactive?” Inuyasha asked curiously in second period. They were talking to each other instead of listening to the biology teacher. Kagome glared at him, “Are all your friends so giggly?” Kagome asked him coldly.

“What's that supposed to mean?” Inuyasha demanded. Kagome just put on an innocent look, and refused to say anything more.

“Fine, be that way.”

“…Inuyasha and Kagome…” Kagome and Inuyasha looked up at the sound of their names. Kagome glared at Inuyasha, “You got me in trouble…again!” Kagome looked up at the teacher again, ignoring Inuyasha's protests.

“Inuyasha, Kagome!” the teacher said impatiently, “Please come and get the instructions for the experiment!” Kagome walked awkwardly up to the table. “Uh, Mr. Yamamura? Who's my lab partner again?” Mr. Yamamura sighed as he handed Kagome two thick packets, “Inuyasha, Miss Higurashi.”

Kagome plopped down in her seat again. She shot a warning glance over at Inuyasha as she passed him his set of instructions. “You are skating on thin ice mister.” She told him, trying to sound menacing.

“I don't know how to skate.” Inuyasha informed her, matter-of-factly. Kagome let out a humph, “That just makes things worse for you, doesn't it?” She said, sticking her tongue out at him.

“Sango? I was wondering… how is Sesshomaru a famous fashion designer? He's not even out of high school.” Kagome asked Sango. Sango looked up from her Mocha-Frappachino that she had been gulping down, while cramming for an English test she had after lunch. “Oh, well-he didn't actually start the company… he inherited it. So when he has the time, he does designing, and he goes to school. Isn't he the coolest?” Kagome nodded, holding back the urge to mention that most designers just cut up a little rag, dyed it, sewed sequins on it and called it a masterpiece.

“Cool, Sango.” Sango looked at her curiously, “So, where were you at lunch yesterday?” She asked. Kagome thought quickly. “I was, umm, re-taking my math test.” Sango looked at her strangely, “I thought you aced that.”

“Different test.” Kagome said, shrugging her shoulders and hoping Sango couldn't tell she was lying. Sango shrugged her shoulders too, and went back to draining the last of her Frappachino. The bell rang and Kagome waved goodbye to Sango. Sango walked off still muttering the meaning for Greek and Latin roots.

Kagome was watching her go, and not watching where she was going. Her unawareness resulted in her running straight into another unfortunate person. Luckily this time, no papers, books or binders went flying because she found herself cushioned on something soft and fluffy.

“Oh, I'm so sorry!” Kagome said stabling herself. She looked up and found herself gazing up into the face of Inuyasha's half-brother, and world famous fashion designer, Sesshomaru. “Woops…” She said softly. She gulped as he looked down at her, his amber eyes, though the same color as Inuyasha's, held none of the emotions that were usually present in half brother's eyes.

“It's quite all right,” Sesshomaru told her coolly, “I'm sorry that I didn't see that coming.” Kagome just stared him. Well, he was certainly more mature than his half-brother…

“You must be flustered. Jaken, get this girl a glass of water.” Then without further ado, Sesshomaru walked off, presumably to his next class. Kagome watched, dumbfounded, as a posse of girls ran after him, holding cameras and large signs saying: `We love you Sesshomaru' or `Can I Have Your Autograph?' One even said: `Marry Me Sesshomaru?'

As soon as Sesshomaru left, a small, froglike creature wearing a school uniform that was at least four sizes too big for him, waddled up. He handed Kagome a glass of water. “Courtesy of Sesshomaru-sama, Miss.” He said. Kagome raised an eyebrow. Someone's been going too close to the nuclear power-plant lately… She thought as she accepted the glass of water from him.

Kagome gulped the water down, realizing she would be late for class if she didn't hurry. “Thanks little dude.” She told him, tossing the empty glass to him. Jaken watched Kagome go with a frown on his odd little face. “Little dude?”

As soon as Kagome had rounded the hall corner, Inuyasha popped into view. “Hey, Jaken,” He called, “Give this to Sesshomaru for me.” With that he smacked his English book over Jaken's head, leaving a comical bump on Jaken's head.

“INUYASHA!!!” Jaken yelled after the mischievous half-brother of his master. But Inu Yasha was already out of sight. A teacher popped her head around the door. “Will you keep it down? I'm teaching a class!” Jaken nodded swiftly, a guilty look on his face. Why is it always my fault? He asked himself, trudging off to Sesshomaru's next class.
