[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Hey again children! I hope you liked my last chappy, because I’m creating a new one. So yup. Enjoy.
~Me~

They drove on in silence. Inuyasha’s sleek new Mitsubishi Spyder made little to no noise. Unlike Hojo and his gas hog SUV. Inuyasha stole a few glances at her, some times almost running a red light. She was captivating. But her eyes held an anger. He knew it was towards Kagome.

“Uh, Ico, what happened in there between you and Kagome?” he asked her quietly. She looked at him. Her eyes were a little vague, like she was thinking about something else.

“I’ll tell you, but don’t tell Miroku. I bet dear Sango and Kagome will tell him anyways,” she took a shaky breath. “It starts at the beginning of my Sophomore year. That’s when Hojo asked me out. I was still considered the new kid, because I transferred at the middle of ninth grade. So I was stoked. I mean a guy who was pretty good looking asked me out. We went to a party. He was kinda wild before. I guess. And someone put something in my drink. I passed out and when I woke up, Hojo was holding me. He was so white. He thinks someone raped me, but, you know, I don’t really remember. That’s why he is the way he is. He’s like all protective and boring, because he doesn’t want anything to happen to me.” she looked at the floor mat on the floor. Inuyasha was somewhat shocked.

“I only told Sango and Kagome. And when she said that it made me furious. I mean, the girl is supposedly my friend. But when she’d say that…” her voice trailed off and he parked in front of her house.

He walked her up to the doorstep. He gave her a hug. “No worries koi.” He smiled and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. She waved good-bye and watched him leave off into the night. She silently stepped into her home. ‘He called me koi.” she thought to herself and crept upstairs and laid down on her bed. Unable to sleep. Thoughts where going like wildfire through her head.

“Rise and shine sweetie. It’s you’re first day!” Her dad chirped through her door.

“Yeah, I’m so overjoyed.” she said and yawned. She got out of her bed and looked at her alarm clock. The digital numbers read 6:00. She hadn’t gone to sleep until three in the morning. This was going to be a long day.

Going over to her closet, she guessed that today was the day she’d wear a micro mini. She had people to impress. And now, people to diss. *Cough, cough, Kagome* She pulled on the mini jean skirt and slid the black leather belt on through the belt hoops. It had tiny skulls on it, so it was punkish. Then, she pulled a pink shirt over her head. It read the words: ‘Stupid rabbit, trix are intended for children.’ in rainbow letters. She picked up her black and pink Etnies from the floor and pulled them on her freshly socked feet. Her long tan legs looked really good in this getup. So she wandered into her private bathroom to brush her teeth and put on her makeup. She picked out eyeliner and loads of mascara and hot pink lipstick. She grinned at her own reflection. Then, last but not least, she pulled on pink and black striped arm warmers that went up to her elbows. Her freshly painted black nails gleamed in the bathroom light. Satisfied, she headed downstairs. She grabbed her bag and phone on her way out.

She looked at the clack on the wall in the hallway, it was already 6:45. “I better go parents. She said to them and waved. Ico ran to her car.

It was a black BMW convertible. It had darker green seat covers and a CD player. She jumped in and started the car. It automatically started up the CD player, playing Nickleback’s newest CD. She grinned when it was playing Savin’ Me, one of her all time favorite songs, she sang along.

“Prison gates won’t open up for me, on these hands and knees I’m crawlin’…” By the time she’d gotten to school the song was over and she felt refreshed. Before she got out of the car, she spritzed on a little of In Control, on her skin. It smelled really great, and made her smell really great.

She headed up to the courtyard, where everyone was standing. She noticed Inuyasha’s silver head right away, but he was with Kagome. She headed over anyway. She wasn’t going to let her get in the way of her and Inuyasha.

“Hey!” She called to him. He turned around and gave her a genuine smile. She walked sexily towards the group, and when she reached them, she gave Inu-cakes a big hug. He returned it. When he let go Kagome opened her mouth to speak.

“Kagome, please don’t apologize to me I mean, what you said really hurt me. So uh, I don’t really wanna hear your shit. ‘Kay?” she asked Kagome. The other girl nodded solemnly. Ico turned to Sango. “Can I talk to you?” she asked.

“Sure.” she said and gave her a quizzical look.

Ico motioned for her to follow her to where Inuyasha, Miroku, and Kagome couldn’t hear their conversation. Once she figured they were out of hearing range, she began to speak. “So, Sango, did you tell Miroku?” she asked.

“Well, he was uh, ummm, please don’t get mad, he wanted to know. He really cares about you as a friend and I figured he deserved to know, so Kagome and I told him.” she said. Ico’s eyes bore holes into her own.

“Oh. So, what does he think about it?” she asked casually.

“He, uh, he wanted to go ask Hojo, what uh, happened to you. But I said no. I didn’t want you to relive that moment. But if you want us to talk to him.” she stated and Ico pondered this for a moment.

“Okay. You guys can ask him, but I’m not coming.” she said and Sango nodded. They made their way back to the other three who were talking, but when they saw Ico and Sango approaching, they shut up quick.

Sango told Kagome and Miroku about what Ico said and they hurried over to where Hojo stood with one of his many friends. He was pretty popular. And his expression darkened when he found out what they wanted.

“Hojo, what exactly happened to Ico?” Miroku asked the other boy sharply. Hojo cringed.

He turned to his friend. “Go for a bit, I’ll talk to you later.” he said and the guy looked curiously at the four of them, but he nodded and left to go round up a few of his and Hojo’s other friends.

“We went to a party, she left me for a while, she said she had to go to the restroom, but she didn’t come back. After about a half hour, I was worried about her. So I went looking. I went into one of the bedrooms and there she was, lying without anything on, on the bed. She was unconscious, so I put a blanket over her. I wanted to save her from anymore suffering, we weren’t together very long before that happened. So I vowed to protect her. I gave up my child ness, I never went to any parties. When we were invited. I’d say no. I think she thought I was controlling her. But then we’d just hang out by ourselves. That made up for it. I never touched her like that though. It pains me. I still have nightmares.” He looked sadly at the other three. Kagome looked even more miserable, Sango was crying a bit and Miroku was really pissed off.

“Who could do that to her?” Sango questioned thickly. Her tears and stuffy nose made it harder for her to speak.

“I don’t know.” Hojo said quietly. “But I do know that you’re friend should take very good care of her, or I will, kick his ass.” he said and got up to join his friends.

“Wow.” Kagoem said. “Hojo is a really good guy. I always thought he was a nimrod.”

Sango nodded and Miroku stood there. He walked towards Ico and Inuyasha. He must have said something stupid, because she was laughing hysterically. “He makes her happy.” Sango noted.

“I bet her first time will be with him.” Kagome agreed.

Miroku looked a little shocked at what Kagome had just said. “You think?” The other girl nodded and gave a small grin. “I know.” she said and they reached the couple.

“So are you guys an Item?” Miroku asked Inuyasha. The seventeen-year-old looked at Ico she grinned at him. He turned to Miroku and cocked and eyebrow.

“What’s it to ya’ letch?” he asked Miroku. He wasn’t under blackmail anymore.

Ico interrupted what Miroku was about to say. “Yup.” she grinned at Inuyasha and stood on the tips of her toes so she could give him a quick kiss. Hojo was watching this. They had only just started dating and they were already kissing in public. She must really like the guy.

The starting bell rand and almost every kid groaned and made their way into the school. “Sango what class do you have first?” Ico asked her.

“Lit. You?”

“Trig.” she sighed.

“Hey! Me too! Said Inuyasha. Ico beamed at him. Miroku made his way with Kagome to World History and Sango trudged alone to Literature and Inuyasha and Ico went hand-in-hand to Trigonometry.

“H ey kids!” Sango called with Ico by her side. They were both a little sweaty from gym. She was waving to Mikroku, Kagome, and Inuyasha. They were prtty lucky, they all had the same lunch period.

Sango had tied her hair up into her signature ponytail and Ico was wearing low pigtails. They looked sexy on her.

They took their lunches. Kagome, eating only from the salad bar and Inuyasha was only eating meat and French Fries. He was currently teasing Kagome from only eating vegetables, which he hated. Ico was picking at her Chef Salad, and she took a sip from her Diet Coke mixed with Orange soda. (A/N: It’s really good!)

Miroku was in a deep conversation with Sango about how many licks it took to get to the center of a tootsie pop.

“Hey Ico, Kagome! Lookin’ hot this year!” A guy said as he walked by the table they were at.

“You know it Koga, too bad you can have all this.” she made a sad face as she put her hands on her breasts.

Everyone at the table laughed. Except Inuyasha. He was growling at Koga. “Forget it Inu. You’re my one and only.” She said dramatically, and she kissed his on the cheek and went back to her food.

“Hey, Kagome, you’d look pretty cut with him, if I do say so myself.” Ico said smiling at the girl.

“Uh.. Maybe.” she was brick red. “Hey! So do you forgive me then?” Kagome asked, a glint of hope could be seen in her eyes.

“Hey Ico, I see you got implants over the summer, how lame.” a girl walked over to their table.

“And you know that how? Did the doctor you go to so often, he didn’t want to loose you as a valued customer, so he gave you my name as the girl who looked sexiest with implants?” she asked the girl in a voice that Kikyou took as her being serious.

“Kikyou, just leave, know one want to look t your Botox injected face.” Sango said with venom dripping in her voice.

“This is Kikyou?” Inuyasha asked Ico. “She looks so different, when I last saw her, she was flat, intelligent, and had a little bit of acne.” he said.

“Yup this is the slut in fake flesh.” She grinned at him.

Kikyou and Sango had finished their fight and she’d stalked off to her friends to talk about what Lindsay Lohan had worn to the last red carpet thing.

“So Ico, can you forgive me?” Kagome asked, getting back on topic. Since Kikyou had interrupted them before.

“Okay.” she said and reached over across the table to give her a hug. Kagome turned to talk to Miroku and Sango so, Inuyasha bent down to whisper in her ear.

“Did I tell you koi, how sexy you look today?” he aksed his voice in her ear sent chills down her spine. She nodded and turned to look him in the eye. She kissed him. He grinned against her lips and she ran her hand through his oddly silver hair. He licked her lip and she opened she explored his warm mouth until she felt a tap on her shoulder. She and Inuyasha broke apart. She was a little annoyed from being interrupted during such a great kiss.

“What?” she snapped.

“Miss. Rimika, come with me. On the first day of school indeed, so displaying public affection like this. Forcing yourself on this poor boy. You’re going to the Dean’s office. He will decide you’re punishment. Mr. Taiij, please try to control you’re girlfriend.” she sighed and shook her head as she escorted a grinning Ico to the Dean’s office. The woman knocked on the door.

“Come in.” said a pleasant voice from the other side of the door. The teacher who looked similar to a bird opened the door and they were in a small room with a big wooden desk with a few chairs in front of it. Photos of what Ico figured were his family and diplomas adorned the walls.

“I caught Miss. Rimika, here as the kids call it ‘making out’ with her boyfriend. He hadn’t done anything. She just jumped on him.” Ico opened her mouth she was never a quiet one, even when she was facing punishment.

“Well, he told me I looked sexy and he called me koi, that’s his nickname for me. It drove me totally wild!” she grinned at the Dean who nodded.

“I see, he nodded, thank you Mrs. Sundquist, you may go.” Then as the woman left, he turned to Ico. “Miss, I don’t think you should be frenching you’re boyfriend in school, teachers will wonder. I’m only going to give you a warning this time. But if you’re in here again for the same thing, I won’t be a lenient. Okay?” he asked her.

“Yeah.” she replied coolly.

“Good, you may go.” She thanked him and went out the door. Inuyasha was waiting for her. “He didn’t to anything, he told me if I got caught again, I’d be in trouble. So yep. We’ll do it outside of school.” She lowered her voice. “We can do it in my bedroom.” she grinned at the look on his face and led him to art class.

They sat down in the back of the room. Sango and Miroku lifted their eyebrows as if to ask. ‘What happened?’ Ico flashed them a grin and mouthed, “Nothing.” Kagome was currently sitting next to Hojo. Had something happened while Ico and Inuyasha were at the Dean’s office? They were talking and Hojo seemed somewhat happy. He looked at Ico while she was staring at him and Kagome. He winked at her and turned back to Kagome. Ico did the same, except she turned to Inuyasha.

“So, what are we supposed to do?” she asked. He shrugged. He had out a piece of paper and a pencil and was tapping the table absentmindedly.

She followed his lead and got out some paper and a pencil. She drew a stick person with another stick person and one stick person had black long hair like Kagome and the other had a mop of brown hair on the top of it’s head. She wrote above the heads, Kagome and Hojo, Forever in Love. To finish, she drew little hearts and a few stick people angels in the sky. It symbolized true love. To her anyways.

“Look.” she said and nudged her boyfriend. He looked and raised his eyebrows.

“What the hell?” he asked her. She pointed to where Kagome and Hojo were currently laughing at his sculpture of a fat guy. Or something of the sort.

“Oh.” He nodded and smirked.

“Lemme she you’re drawing darlin’!” she teased him and he covered his up and she could she a small blush creeping along his face.

“Nope.” he said simply. Before he could put it away, Ico had grabbed it. She studied it.

“Awww..” she said when she saw it. He had tried to draw her, he was a pretty good artist. He was beyond stick people anyways. She was wearing a hot pink mini dress and she was sitting on the beach. He hadn’t drawn any makeup on her. She had a faraway look in her eyes.

“Yashie!” she squealed and gave him a hug.

He was even redder now, if it was possible. He returned the hug. A few people had turned around to see what was going on with the strange couple. Inuyasha was really sweet, he wasn’t a bad boy, he was good, he made honor roll. He was on the football team, and best of all, he was hers. And she was planning to keep it that way.

“So, Kagome, are you and Hojo, a thing now?” she asked. Ico, Sango and Kagome were having their ritual. They talked at nine thirty about every night to keep up.

“Uh, I don’t know. I think we’re just friends still. I think I may want to change that.” Kagome stated to her friends. Kagome never really expressed her feelings like this. She always kept to herself when it came to guys. She didn’t clam up, like Sango. Yet, she wasn’t as outspoken as Ico. She’d go up to a guy and tell him she knew how to give him a hard-on, and she’d do it right that minute.

“Yeah, what about you and Miro?” Kagome asked, wanting to get the heat off her and her tangled mess she called a love life.

“I don’t know you guys, he acts like he really cares for me, when we’re alone. Then, when a lot of people are around, even you guys, he just acts like I’m his friend again. Most people probably wouldn’t even guess that we’re dating. Ico, you and Inuyasha have only been going out for a few days, and you’re relationship is hotter than mine and his. I mean, we’ve been going out for like, almost five months.” you could hear he sigh from the other end of the line.

“Sango, if I was you, I’d tell him how you feel. That’s just me. And if he doesn’t acknowledge, the problem, and keeps doing what he’s doing, I know it might hurt you but, if I was you. I guess I would dump him.” Ico said sadly. “Then, he’ll realize he was wrong and he’ll beg you to take him back. That’s how Miro is.” she was grinning though, about what Sango had said about her and Inuyasha’s relationship.

“Yeah.” Sango agreed. “Kags, once you and Hojo get together, we should all go on a triple date.” she said.

“Sounds cool to me.” Kagome said. “But I dunno if I’ll be dating Hojo now do we?”

“Yeah we do Kagome, just ask him out tomorrow.” Ico said and yawned, for real this time. “I gotta go guys, I’m tired, and I gotta shower still. Love ya’ll like sistas from other mistas.” she said Kagome and Sango returned the good-bye and Ico hung up. Then her cell rang again.

“Yeah?” she asked she didn’t recognize the number.

“Ico?” came a male’s voice.

“Yup, this is my phone, so who is this?” she asked, she really couldn’t understand the voice.

“It’s Miroku. I wanted to know, is Sango planning to break up with me?” he asked her. She was his best friend who was a girl.

“Umm..” Kagome felt guilty. She had told Sango to dump him if he didn’t change. “Well, we were talking tonight and she told me what you do. You act like you’re not even going out when other people are around, and that makes her feel bad I guess. She thinks it’s sad that me and Inuyasha have only been going out for a few days and we already seem more like a couple than you do. Miroku, just show her more affection, and she’ll never break up with you. Hell, go to the same collage as her and when ya’ll graduate, I bet you that she’d even bear you’re children.” she grinned into the phone.

Miroku’s eyes gleamed. Inuyasha had just entered the room, his hair was wet from the shower he had just finished. He cocked and eyebrow at Miroku. The other boy stuck up his hand and closed his eyes.

“Really? That’s great. Thanks a lot. I was kind of freaking out.” he said and sighed.

“You’re welcome Miro. Anytime. Just treat her right okay, you don’t want me to have to come and kick you’re ass.

“Yup you’re right Ico.” he grinned at the look on Inuyasha’s face.

“Talk to ya later pervert!” she said.

“Yup. See ya.” he replied and he hung up the phone.

“Why were you talking to Ico?” Inuyasha asked a little mad that he was talking to his girlfriend while he was in the shower.

“I needed relationship advice. She’s the master at that sort of thing. She’s bold and fearless. She’ll say what’s on her mind. Wild. I bet she’ll make you a great wife.” he winked at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha just started. “No way. I mean we just started going out. I’m not going to think about a wedding.” he glared. But still, it would be nice to spend the rest of his days with her. It was just a thought. But Miroku’s next comment sent him crashing back to reality.

“Okay, then she’ll make a great fuck buddy.” He grinned insanely at the look on the hanyo’s face. Priceless.

“I’m going to kick your ass.” Inuyasha said as he lurched forward to give his friend a horrid nuggie.

“How about you kiss it?” Miroku asked him innocently. That sent them into a girlish pillow fight and for the rest of the night, they were fighting, then they’d stop. Then Miroku would say something stupid. Then they’d fight. Then Inuyasha would say something stupid. It went on into the early morning. When, while Inuyasha was chewing out Miroku yet again, he heard faint snoring. It was coming from Miroku.

“I might as well get some sleep too.” he said groggily, he turned over and was asleep in moments.

Ico slept and slept. She finally awoke to the noise of a jackhammer outside her bedroom. She looked at her alarm clock. It was already 2:00 in the afternoon. “I better get up.” She felt and heard her stomach growl.

“And I better eat something too.” she skipped down the hall and down the spiral staircase and then through a short hallway and then she made a right and was in the kitchen. She got on her tip-toes and decided on having some cereal.

She got out the bowl and the spoon. She placed them on the counter and then she made her way over to the fridge where she retrieved the milk. She added all the things together and sat down. “Yum.” she said and downed the bowl. The normal house phone rang.

“Hello?” she asked in a proper voice.

“Ico, are we all still on for the triple date for tonight?” came Sango’s voice at the other end of the line. She hadn’t looked at the Caller ID.

She dropped all of the properness she had been prepared to use. “Yup Inuyasha called me last night. Dinner and a movie?” she asked Sango to be clear.

“Yup and we leave at seven. So we can catch the nine-thirty movie.” Sango had every detail worked out.

“Okay then. I guess we’ve got it covered. Hey how’s Miroku?” Ico asked.

“Better than ever. I mean he really listened to what I had to say. We hold hands and everything. In public. Once, he even kissed me! It’s slow, but we’ll get to the point where we can be like you and Yash.” Sango sighed as though she was dreaming.

“Yup. I’m really glad he listened to you. So I’ll see you at five?” she asked, wanting to get back to her food. It was becoming mushier and mushier by the minute.

“Uh, Ico I was wondering if you’d come over at about four. I kind of want your help on what to wear. Kagome said she’d come. But you have a really good eye for clothes and make up.” Sango wished she could be gifted with the expertise that the other girl had, but she wasn’t so she lived and thanked the Gods her best friend was.

“Okay. So I’ll see you at four?”

“Yup. Sounds good to me.”

“Okay babe, I’ll talk to you later. Much love bye.”

“Yup bye Ico.” They both clicked the off button and Ico went back to her slightly mushy cereal.

Okay kids. I hope you liked this one. It seems like it was a little longer than the last chappy. Don’t forget to review!
Love.
