Kagome-the-boy-hater
 
Science project done, and dinner eaten, Kagome decided to plop her butt back down on her chair, and talk to demon'sclaws some more. He was still online, but so was slayergurl. And slayergurl just happened to be Kagome's best friend.
 
shardetector: hiyas!
 
slayergurl: hey Kagome, you ready for this weekend?
 
shardetector: I guess, im just not too comfortable with the fact that your boyfriend will be there. isn't he
some sort of pervert that gropes girls
 
slayergurl: Miroku's a pretty sweet guy, once you get to know him, and speaking of Miroku, is it okay if he brings one of his friends?
 
shardetector: not ANOTHER guy! okay, whatever, it doesn't really matter anyways, but this was just supposed to be a time for some of my friends to hang out and have some fun, ya know, just you, Ayame, and me.
 
slayergurl: aww…
 
shardetector: never mind Sango, it doesn't matter! I guess it could be okay
 
slayergurl: really Kagome? oh thanks a bundle! you don't know how much Miroku means to me! I just wanted to get your permission, since, ya know, it is your house and all.
 
slayergurl: I have to go now. Bye! See ya this weekend!
 
shardetector: yeah, bye

Kagome sighed. Huh-boy, what have I gotten myself into? Well at least Sango's happy, but I was kinda looking forward to this weekend being an all girls event. Now I gotta look forward to meeting Sango's boyfriend, AND some strange boy! Why me?
It wasn't as if Sango was clueless about Kagome and her status on boys. Kagome was okay with just casually talking to them, but when it came to meeting new guys, she became shy and quiet, and forget asking any boy, whether she was familiar with them or not, over to her house.
Throughout all of Gregory Walker High School, or GWHS, her fellow classmates knew Kagome as “that dateless girl that reads a lot”. Kagome never even went to the school dances. It was true that she was introverted, but she preferred being that way, with only a few good friends, and very few acquaintances. As for her reading, she prided it, as it was the only thing keeping her from boredom. She could just open a book and get sucked into a totally different time or place, and meet interesting people, and even become one of those interesting people. To her books were better than boys.
Once again Kagome sighed. Even boys on IM were better than boys in real life. Which reminded her………
 
shardetector: hey demon
 
demon'sclaws: hey yourself
 
demon'sclaws: who were you talking to? your boyfriend?
 
Sheesh, even demon is determined to bring it up. Is it “Torture Kagome Week” or something?
 
shardetector: nope just a friend of mine. she's very cool, unlike a certain person I happen to know.
 
demon'sclaws: um, o-kay, what did I do?
 
shardetector: sorry demon, I shouldn't take my frustration out on you. i just don't like boys very much. your different though. i don't have to talk to you in person, and i kinda know you better now.
 
demon'sclaws: keh
 
shardetector: so, why did you pick out the name demon'sclaws?
 
shardetector: its just that I picked out the name shardetector cuz I found out in fifth grade that my great-grandma was Japanese, and my ancestors were priestesses and priests.
 
demon'sclaws: cool. nope, there's no real reason behind my name, I just thought it would be interesting.
 
shardetector: I g2g. ja ne!
 
demon'sclaws: “ja ne”?
 
shardetector: it means see ya in Japanese.
 
demon'sclaws: okay. ja ne, then.
 
shardetector has signed off
 
InuYasha looked at the ceiling. Only one or two people knew about his secret. He hadn't just chosen demon'sclaws as his IM name because it was interesting, he actually WAS a demon. Or at least half-demon. And he really did have claws. But if he had mentioned any of this to Kagome, she probably would have either freaked out, or consider him a loony. The only people that knew were Miroku, Mu'ushin, and Sesshomaru. When InuYasha went anywhere in public he had to use a concealing charm that had been placed on this rosary necklace that he had to wear around his neck. His normal appearance would probably startle anyone who saw him.
“InuYasha, come downstairs. It's dinner time.” The cold voice of his older half-brother interrupted his thoughts.
“Don't you EVER knock?”
“It's not as if YOU do. And besides, I own this house. Since it is my property it is my choice to do what I want.”
“Fine. I'll be down in a second.”
InuYasha wished that he had enough money to buy a house of his own, but since he barely had any money at all, he would have to stay at his brother's house until he finished school and could get a job. Sesshomaru only let him stay because it was in their father's will, and although Sesshomaru hated his younger sibling, he greatly respected his father's memory. The only problem with this arrangement was that InuYasha had to obey his half-brother and live under his rules. And the only item he really owned was his computer, which he had saved up for ever since three years ago. Even his clothes were bought by Sesshomaru.
InuYasha sighed. Well, at least I get free food. With that thought, he rushed downstairs, so that his older brother wouldn't get to the tasty delectables first.
