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

Hola. The FOB song in the first chappy was ‘I Slept With Someone From Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me’ it’s a really awesome song. Uh, on with the chappy.

“Hey Sango!” greeted Ico as she made her way into the other girl’s apartment. It was pretty large, and Sango only lived with her brother and grandfather. Her brother was at a friend’s and her granddad was playing poker at the neighbors. So the trio was all alone for the time being.

“Hey Ico!” Kagome and Ico cheered. Their best friend was about to make them look hot as hell.

“Oh hey Kagome. Didn’t see you.” she smiled and they made their way to Sango’s bedroom. The walls were a bright blue and posters and magazine clippings of bands and hot celebrities and other things decorated them. And on her bedside table, a picture of the three of them grinning like idiots at their Junior prom last year. And there was one of her family and one of her and Miroku that Ico had taken last winter.

“`Kay, what to wear? What to wear?” she asked opening Sango’s closet and throwing the things she liked on the bed. Then, she scoured the floor for a cute pair of shoes for the girl. “Kagome, do you know what you want to wear?” she asked from under a heap of clothes.

“No not really, I brought some things I like. But, pick out Sango’s stuff first.” She was a little pink in the face. But Ico and Sango didn’t notice, because Ico was bossing Sango around at that minute.

“Sango! Go try on all these things. Not as in an outfit you want to wear, just what you think looks good on you. Okay?” she asked her sighing friend.

“Yeah.” she grabbed all of the clothes and made her way into the bathroom to try everything on. Ico turned to Kagome.

“What do you have in mind Kagome?” she asked. This time her full attention was on Kagome.

“Oh I don’t know. I brought a few things.” she disappeared for a moment and then was back with an armful of clothes. “Here.” she tossed them on the bed.

“Hmm.” she picked up a halter top and then looked at Kagome. “Who’s you’re date?” she asked. “Because different guys like different things.” Kagome turned red. Ico had on reading glasses and Kagome laughed at her. It helped her forget her nerves.

“Houjo.” she shrugged. “He’s sweet.” she knew that Ico didn’t know why he acted the way he did.

Ico held up a finger. “No Kags, not sweet, boring.” she looked through the clothes and threw a lot of them in the ‘no’ pile.

“Here put this on.” she handed Kagome a tiny pile of clothes just as Sango had came out of the bathroom. Kagome nodded and took Sango’s place in the room.

“So, what do you like?” Ico asked. She looked at both piles of clothing in the other girl’s arms one was a lot smaller than the other one.

Sango lifted the arm that had the smaller pile on it. She dumped the one’s she didn’t like on the bed next to the items of Kagome’s that Ico had rejected. “Okay.” Ico nodded her head and took the other pile from Sango.

“Okay. I think this would go with this but I don’t know. Is it casual enough for just a movie and dinner date?” she looked up at Sango. “Do you know where we’re going?” she asked. Sango shook her head.

“`Kay. I like this with these.” she said as she held up a white camisole with a black half jacket over it. Then she held up a pair of blue jeans and a pair of sling backs. Do you like it?”

“Yeah. It’s pretty.” she took the items from Ico and slipped out of her track suit and into the things.

“Hot!” Ico said just as Kagome was coming into the room. “You too Kagome.” she grinned at her two friends she had chosen a plain black halter top and a faded pair of jeans. For shoes, she had on simple open-toed heels, but they weren’t too high.

“Okay girls, now accessories!” Ico shrieked, but she took out her latest habit, a cigarette. “Is you’re grandfather gunna be home soon?” she asked Sango.

“Uh, nope, but when did you start smoking?” she asked as Ico blew a perfect smoke ring.

“Not very long I guess. A few weeks.” She headed over to Sango’s jewelry box. She turned her back as if to say that conversation was over.

“Okay, Sango, I like this necklace. And then a thumb ring. Oh! You’re diamond you always wear.” she gave Sango a small handful of things to put on.

Sango looked at the vintage diamond necklace. It was elegant, and she barely ever wore elegant. She usually wore armbands and post-style earrings.

“Now Kagome, what do you have in mind?” she asked the girl who looked at the ground.

“Okay then. I’ll get it for you.” She rustled around her, Sango and Kagome’s items for something. “Eureka!” she grinned at the stupid word she’d just uttered. She gave Kagome a black lace choker with a light green stone coming off of it. And she had a pair of silver dangle earrings with little green stones dotted at the end of each piece of silver.

Ico grinned at both of them. “Miro and Houjo will live it ladies.” she hugged them both and the hugged her back and they made their way out of the room so Ico could get ready.

“Alright, she sighed at what she’d be wearing. “I hope he likes it.” she said quietly as she pulled on a pair of black fishnets, her faded jean mini that was frayed at the bottom, a white and black polka dot camisole and a see-through black tee-shirt. She slipped on black and white striped arm warmers and then her black stiletto boots. She finished her clothing with a string of white pearls and a black pearl choker. Then she put her diamond chandelier earrings in her ears.

She got her bag and her phone. “Ready girls?” she asked as she observed that they’d put on their makeup while they’d waited for her. They nodded and left the apartment and went down the hall into the cool night air.

Ico was driving because she’d insisted that they take her car. For once. It was a vintage BMW convertible, and she had the top down. They were blasting her Fall Out Boy. At that moment they were listening to ‘Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down’.

They got to the food place, it was pretty nice, so Ico was glad she made her girls dress a little nicer than she normally would have. She spotted the boys waiting. She parked. “Okay kids, we gotta make Houjo and Kaggy here fall in love. Got it Kags, because I won’t rest. You’re too cute together!” she grinned as Kagome shook her head and was looking at the black floor mats. Sango laughed.

“Yeah. It’s too awkward that you guys aren’t together and you’re going with a four people who are. I don’t really get it.” she laughed and Kagome rolled her eyes at the two.

“You guys are so immature.” she said it a stupid voice and giggled. Ico got out of the car and motioned for the other two to follow her. They walked to the boys, and as they did they could see they guys nudge each other to say that the girls had arrived.

“Hey Miro!” Sango said and jumped on her man. They slobbered on one another for a bit.

“Sango! You’re ruining the make up I did!” Kagome sighed and grinned at Hojo. He smiled back at her and looked Ico. She shot a funny face at him and he rolled his eyes at her. But he smiled anyways and turned back to his date for the night.

“Hey Yash.” she said and stood in front of him. “You like?” she asked and twirled in a little circle for him to see the whole nine yards. He grinned at her.

“Uh sure.” he glared at her when she pulled out yet another cigarette. “Don’t smoke that Ico. It’s not good.”

She looked at him. “Look, if you’re gunna get controlling, I’m outta here. And then you can go tell Kikyou what to do.” She took a puff and then threw it on the ground and smushed it out with the toe of her boot.

She made her way into the packed gourmet restaurant and Houjo approached the waitress. “We have a reservation for Miroku is Hot.” he sighed and rolled his eyes at Miroku who was laughing hysterically.

“Sir, you shouldn’t be so full of yourself. Right this way.” she said and led the group to a bigger table in the back of the place. They took their seats. Ico was sitting by Inuyasha and Kagome.

Kagome was by Ico and Houjo. Inuyasha was by Ico and Miroku, who was by Sango, who was next to Houjo. Kagome was talking to Houjo about something and Inuyasha was talking to Sango and Miroku. So Ico just sat there and read the menu.

Hojo turned to Ico. “Are you fighting with Inuyasha?” he asked her taking a sip of his Coke.

She rolled her eyes at Inuyasha who was still talking. “Yes. He’s trying to control me.” she sighed and took a drink of her own beverage, a frozen lemonade.

Inuyasha turned to her. “I wasn’t trying to control you. Now stop saying that.” he glared at her again.

She gave him a smile. “See? You just tried to control me. You said now stop saying that.” she looked up at him. He looked back. He turned his back on her and went back to talking to Miroku.

Ico got up. “I’ll be back.” she stated in a thick voice and went into the bathroom. She was just staring at her reflection when Kagome walked in.

“What’s wrong Hun?” Kagome asked as Ico dabbed at her face with a paper towel. Her mascara was running.

“Nothing really, I guess he just turned his back on me and uh, I dunno. I’m fine really. Just a small breakdown.” she gave Kagome a forced smile and Kagome shook her head at the other girl.

“Don’t lie to me Ico. You’re not okay, because this is the first guy that you’ve really liked. So don’t give me that bullshit.” she walked over to the girl and gave her a hug. Ico returned it and was now sobbing into the shoulder of her best friend.

“Do you want a few moments alone?” she asked. Then she opened her mouth again. “Hojo was mad at him. He didn’t yell, but he let Inuyasha know that he’d kick his booty if he treated you like that again.” she grinned.

Ico dabbed at her hopelessly ruined mascara. “Yeah. Let’s go back.” As they were walking back she saw Miroku and Sango looking from Houjo to Inuyasha. And Inuyasha and Hojo glaring at each other.

“You don’t know what she’s been through, and if you don’t care, you’re a bastard.” Hojo muttered so only their table could hear him.

“Yeah, my ass, she dumped you because you suck the life out of everything because you wanted to turn her into an old prune like you.” Inuyasha accused the other boy in front of him.

“That makes no sense you idiot.” Houjo stated and shook his head in disgust. “I am made of flesh, not prunes as you can see, and I asssure you, I was not running a conspiracy to turn Ico into a prune.” He rolled his eyes and Inuyasha opened his mouth to say more.

“Inuyasha. Houjo, stop. Let’s try to have a fun night.” Kagome gave a falsely huge smile and sat down. Ico joined the table too.

Inuyasha was muttering about some ’Ass-hole.’. As was Houjo about some ‘Dim-witted clod.’.

Miroku and the girls sighed at the two. “So what movie are we going to see?” Sango asked. The group looked at her.

“I bet Miss. Princess here wants to see a movie about a fairy princess like himself.” Inuyasha huffed giving Houjo a dirty look. Houjo smiled at him.

“Inuyasha please, you’re being childish. And I kinda wanna see a horror movie. If you all want to?” Ico said and cocked her head slightly to the side at the people.

“Yeah. Sounds good.” Miroku said and Sango nodded happily. Inuyasha glared at his girlfriend for taking ’the other man’s’ side, but he nodded also. Grudgingly, might I add. Houjo nodded too smiling at Kagome.

Kagome, on the other hand, wasn’t to keen on the idea, she smiled, but her eyes were a little wide. And her face was pale.

“No worries Kags, it’s just a movie, plus. Houjo will be there for you to cling to.” Sango grinned wildly at the look on her friend’s face.

*********Anyways, din-din was quiet except for the casual insult from Inuyasha’s end of the table. So on with the movie part of the date!*********

“Ico, I’m riding with Miroku. Okay?” Sango said and headed to Miroku’s Dodge Neon. It was purple. Attractive.

“As am I, but I’m going with Houjo.” Kagome smiled and awkwardly took his arm and they made their way to the ‘Gas Hog’. That left Ico standing with Inuyasha.

“Come on.” she said and led him to her BMW. He followed her and they got in. In silence.

She started the car and turned down the FOB that was blasting because she didn’t want to upset Inuyasha any further. “So, what do you have against Houjo?” she asked conversationally.

“Okay, Ico, please don’t bitch at me about him right now.” he sighed and looked at her.

“I am not. I was just asking. Damn. What’s with you, PMS?” she was only half joking.

“What? I do not have PMS. That’s what women get.” he rolled his eyes and fehed. Ico laughed at his expense.

“If that’s what you say.” Ico giggled.

They spent the rest of the ride in silence, except for Ico’s occasional singing to the radio. But that was it. The car and it’s passengers were second to arrive at their destination. Only behind Miroku and Sango, both who were psycho drivers.

Ico walked ahead of Inuyasha, who jogged up to her. “Don’t get mad at me. Homo made me mad. I’m sorry.” he smiled at her. She grinned back.

“It’s okay Inu-cakes. She placed a tiny peck on his cheek and they made their way to the ticket booth.

“Two for The Descent.” (Okay, I think that that’s the name of that uh really scary looking movie that’s coming out.) They both grinned at each other. Inuyasha paid the pimply teen who gave out the tickets and the duo walked over to Sango and Miroku, who were casually munching on popcorn.

“Hey! Glad ya’ll got here, or I’d be stuck with this lecher for even longer.” Sango said to Ico and Ico laughed.

“I’ll get the stuff.” Inuyasha said and Miroku followed him, leaving the two girls alone.

“I wonder if Kagome will really go out with Houjo. I mean after all he said about caring about you. I think he may like you.” Sango smiled and laughed aloud at the look on her bud’s face.

“I hope she does. I mean go out with Kags. I think she feels like the fifth wheel when we’re at school. And Houjo’s a nice guy. He really wasn’t for me.” Ico sighed as she remembered all their failed dates. And countless parties they didn’t go to.

Sango raised an eyebrow. “And Inuyasha is?” she questioned.

“I-” But she didn’t get to finish because just then, Kagome and Houjo came into the building and Inuyasha and Miroku had made their way over with sodas, candies and popcorn. Houjo and Kagome walked towards them, hand in hand. Ico noted that Inuyasha scowled at this.

“Hey. You better get you’re shit. I mean the movie is gunna start soon.” Ico stated and looked at the time on her cell.

Kagome whitened. “I don’t care if I miss part of it. I mean I hate horror movies.” she turned and went to the concession stand to get food and Houjo followed her.

They all took their seats and the previews began. Kagome was clutching Houjo’s hand. Sango and Miroku were taking turns stealing kisses. Inuyasha was eating and Ico was taking a sip from the large Mountain Dew Inuyasha had gotten with two straws in it.

The movie began. Creepy things and such. Kagome was constantly letting out tiny squeals and was jumping in fright. Her date was speaking quietly to her. “Kagome. No worries. It’s only a movie. No real parts here.” he pointed to the screen, where a person had just been murdered.

Inuyasha snorted at Kagome’s fear. Every time someone was killed or almost killed, he and Ico burst out laughing. The people behind them poked them in the backs telling the repeatedly to “Shut the hell up. You’re ruining the movie.” Ico giggled and laughed some more. Then leaned her head on her respective boy toy’s shoulder.

Let’s just say Sango an Miroku were not paying attention to the movie and people were telling them off too. Some even throwing popcorn and candy pieces at the two.

Then it was over and the six got up and headed to the lobby. “Kagome, may I talk to you?” Inuyasha asked her. She gave Ico a puzzled look. The other girl shrug her shoulders.

Kagome smiled at Houjo and nodded her head. “Sure Inuyasha.” he led her out of earshot, but Ico followed them. Secret stealthy. She hid behind a gigantic fake potted plant.

“Kagome, I uh know you’re with Houjo tonight. But I can’t get you’re image out of my head. I think I love you.” he leaned down and gave Kagome a chaste kiss on the lips and looked at her. Kagome had her mouth hanging open.

“But, Inuyasha, you’re uh, you’re with Ico aren’t you?” Kagome questioned him.

“Yeah I know. But I don’t know. She’s too, dramatic, and loud. A lot of people like her for that, and that’s why everyone likes her, but I like you. You’re understated and that’s sexy.” He didn’t really know what was wrong with him. The day before, he was head over heels in love with Ico, but right now, he’d do anything for Kagome.

Ico had her mouth hanging open and was gazing at Kagome. Kagome was facing her, and Inuyasha had his back to her. Kagome noticed her. Her eyes widened wider than they had been during the movie. Her mouth dropped open again. Ico had tears streaming down her face. For the second time that night.

“What is it Kagome?” he asked the girl with concern. He turned around and saw her. Ico was crying silently and he looked at the ground. She’d heard the whole thing.

“So Inuyasha, you want Kagome eh? Well I won’t stop you. In fact. It kills me but I’ll help you. It’s over. Go ahead Kagome. He’s yours now.” Ico turned around, hiccupping slightly. She returned to the group of friends. They looked at her with curiosity.

“Where’s Inuyasha and Kagome?” Miroku asked the girl in front of him. It made Ico cry harder, and the girl like never cried. The last time he saw her cry, excluding tonight, was about a year ago when her dad had gotten cancer, he was now in remission. But it could come back.

“They’re coming I guess. I broke up with him. I caught him. He kissed her and asked her to be his girlfriend. He confessed his love for her. I don’t even know what I did wrong.” she sighed and collapsed into Miroku’s arms. He was her best guy friend any how. The boy hugged her and Sango had went over to see what was wrong with Inuyasha. Where and the hell had his common sense gone? Houjo was speaking to her in the same quiet voice that he’d used on Kagome earlier.

“Inuyasha! What the hell is this about? Saying you love Kagome in a movie theater! In front of you’re girlfriend! You’re an asshole.” Sango screamed into his face. He looked aat her, a goofy grin on his face.

“Hey, Kags here said yes.” he had her hand in his, Sango noticed for the first time. Sango was shaking with rage.

“Kagome! You dumb girl. She’s you’re best friend and you betray her like this! I can’t believe you. Ico is hanging onto Miroku for life over there.” she pointed to where the girl was like a heap of clothes and flesh that the boy was holding.

Kagome glared. “Hey, she broke up with him before I said yes. Lay off Sango.” Inuyasha grinned at her. And just when Ico looked up, Inuyasha had kissed Kagome. That provoked wails from Ico.

Sango’s rage was bubbling. This wasn’t the old Kagome. The old Kagome would never put a guy ahead of her friends. But Kagome’s next words made Sango think.

“Listen Sango, I know you’re mad at us. But please listen. See, for once a guy likes me more than the goddess that is Ico. You know how I feel. Did you know that before Miroku asked you out, he had asked Ico and she told him no. She told him to ask you out. See, a guy likes me over her, and that’s all I ever wanted.” Her eyes bore holes into Sango’s molten chocolate ones.

Sango sighed. “I’m glad for you Kags, I really am, but look at her. This was the guy she really liked.” She was speaking as if Inuyasha wasn’t there.

Kagome sighed back. “I know. I should feel awful, but I don’t. I’m so giddy.” she said and hugged her new boyfriend. Sango rolled her eyes and walked back to her friends. Sadly, Inuyasha and Kagome had followed her too. ‘That’s all Ico needs.’ Sango thought and stood beside Miroku, who was still holding her up.

“Good thing you’re thin and light weight, or I might be in pain right now.” he joked and she got up off of him.

“I’m sorry Miroku, really.” She hugged him and then turned to Houjo. “Thank you for being there.” she hugged him and then turned to Sango.

“Girl, you rock and you are my BFF. Alright? Never forget. I love you like a sista Sango.” she hugged the girl something fierce and then turned to the other two.

“As of now, Kagome, to me you are a backstabbing whore. I never will speak to you again.” then she looked at her ex.

“Inuyasha.” she advanced towards him. “I hate your mother fucking guts.” she slapped him hard and turned her back on the group. She exited and then got into her car and sped home. Not shedding another tear.

The now group of five exchanged glances.

“Damn Inuyasha. She let you have it.” Miroku said. No amount of joke in his voice. Right now, he was just as pissed at his friend as Ico was. He felt he had to protect her. And that this was somehow his fault, because he introduced them both.

Inuyasha rubbed his now reddening cheek. “Yeah.” he recounted the girl’s words that she’d said to him. Somehow, he’d thought that they’d be friends and that she’d be really happy that Inuyasha was going with Kagome. Guess not.

Kagome was still a little stunned her once best friend said she hated her guts and she called her a whore. Then she noticed Houjo. Yeah her date.

“Sorry Houjo. I guess I’m not with you.” she smiled at him and he glared back.

“Thank Gods. Ico’s right.” he shook his head and the other two nodded in agreement.

“If you don’t break up, I fear Ico may come at you with a knife.” MIroku said solemly looking at Inuyasha.

“Bring it. I could kick her ass.” Kagome huffed. Even doubting herself.

“Yeah sure Kagome. Come on Miroku. I think if I stand here any longer, I may be ill. Or I may kick some half breed ass.” she looked at Inuyasha and motioned for Miroku to follow her. Miroku motioned for Houjo to follow him. And that left Kagome and Inuyasha alone.

“I don’t have a ride. I came with Ico.” Inuyasha said and they jogged after Houjo.

“I’m not taking you home. I told you to protect Ico or I would.” Houjo said and turned to continue his walk to the ‘Gas Hog’.

They exchanged worried looks and then went to Miroku’s car, he and Sango still hadn’t left yet.

“No!” Sango yelled and then told Miroku to go, he did and Kagome was alone with Inuyasha. No way home. Then she saw her. She was sitting on the hood of her car, smoking a cigarette.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome, he wondered if they should go over to her. He jogged and told Kagome to stay behind.

“Ico.” he said.

“Save it nimrod.” she said and then took another long drag. She flicked the ashes to the ground.

“Koi…” his voice trailed off and looked at her. Her beautiful face was looking at him. Her eyes were a little empty.

“What?” she sighed.

“Take me to you’re home. Drop Kagome off. We need to talk.” he said looking into her ice blue eyes and she sighed again.

“Fine. Go get you’re little bitch. Dog boy.” she grinned as he shuddered.

“You know?” he asked. She only looked to the sky and he went to get Kagome.

“She’s going to take us home let’s go.” he said and took her to the cherry red vehicle.

Kagome nodded and they got in. Inuyasha and Kagome in the back. Ico started and went off at a dangerous speed. Ico popped in a mix CD and it was playing XO by FOB. She yelled one part and looked at Inuyasha in the rearview mirror. “Love never wanted me. But I took it anyway.” she grinned a wild grin.

“Here. Kagome dearest.” she stopped the car and Inuyasha told her good-bye.

“Kagome. I don’t know. What will happen with you and me. But I know a boy who likes you more than Ico. I’ll tell you sometime.” he smiled and she nodded and left the car. He jumped into the front seat.

By then the CD was playing ‘Stab My Back’ by The All American Rejects. She looked at Inuyasha as the car sped over the pavement. “Stab my back, it’s better when I bleed for you. Walk on me, it never was enough to you.” she smiled a little at him. She parked her car and got out. Locking it as she did.

“Come puppy.” she said and clapped her hands like he was a dog.

“Koi, I’m not a dog.” he sighed as they went into her house and then to her room. She flopped on her bed and he sat in a green mushroom chair.

“I know. You’re a dog hanyo.” she smiled at his shocked expression.

“How did you?” he said his mouth open. It reminded his of the events an half hour ago.

“Inuyasha, I kissed you and I felt fangs I might look like one, but I’m not a dumb blond. Now about you and me. What are we?” she asked as she took off the black shirt so she was just wearing the camisole and not both.

“I don’t know I like you.” she raised her eyebrows to this.

“Do you like me like me?” she questioned him. Like they were both children, not almost college students.

“I like you.” he said n a deep voice.

“Come here.” she whispered.

Well, cliffy. What will happen? Read the next chappy coming soon!
