InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Why Do Fools Fall In Love? ❯ Party? ( Chapter 1 )

Ch. 1 Who's Party?

 

 

 

 

Kagome Higurashi woke that morning with a splitting headache; she'd been up all night studying for her test the next day. Mr. Anno would not be happy if she failed at her attempts to pass another one of his tests. Kagome wouldn't necessarily say she was his worse student but if she didn't make an improvement soon, she would be heading that way.

 

Kagome can however be proud that she's a talented archer; never lost a competition once. While she wasn't what you would call model material, she definitely wasn't bad looking either. She has huge dark brown eyes that stand out in a world of plain faces, shiny, long jet black hair with messy bangs and a perfect petite body to go with it. Kagome never did fit into the typical stereotype of teenager girls, but who is she to complain about not fitting in because she stood out.

 

Just as Kagome was emerging from the bathroom to get some quick studying done, she tripped on her younger brothers' toy and stumbled into the wall in her lean hallway.

 

“AHHHH!” Kagome yelped and slid down the wall.

 

`Remember to repay Souta,' she thought wickedly, hunched over in an uncomfortable position.

 

Trying to regain her balance she heard the phone ringing downstairs… Kagome had a pretty educated guess as to who would be calling her house at 6:30 in the morning.

 

As if she were psychic she heard her mother yell up the stairs, “Kagome dear, your friend Sango's on the phone!”

 

“Kay, thanks mom, tell her I'll be down in a minute!”

 

After shuffling around her room for 5 minutes, Kagome was finally dressed in her school uniform and ready to rush down the stairs and approach the phone where her best friend Sango was patiently waiting on the other line.

 

“Gees, Kagome took you long enough,” Sango loudly complained into the phone.

 

“Yeah, sorry about that…” Kagome said dully.

 

“So did you study for the test? I couldn't but help but notice you were having some difficulty in the geometry department.”

 

Kagome groaned. “Ugh, was it that obvious?”

 

“Yeah, I'm certain the whole class is now well aware of your terrible math skills. But don't let it get ya down; I know lots of people who can't do geometry to save their lives.” Sango said trying to sound reassuring but failing miserably.

 

“Oh really, like who?” Kagome asked hopeful.

 

“….” Kagome silently waited for a reply, but it never came.

 

“Wow, now that's reassuring Sango! Now don't go naming off everybody at once.” Kagome said sarcastically faking enthusiasm, while trying to convince herself that Sango really did know at least one person with the same dilemma.

 

“Ok, sorry Kagome, I thought I could name off a bunch of people, but I clearly was wrong. I promise to make it up too you some how.” Sango secretly hoped that Kagome would just forget about that little promise.

 

But Kagome wouldn't let that happen. “Sure, how about sometime this weekend you come over and help me, you know kind of like a tutor.” Kagome said excitedly.

 

Sango inwardly groaned not wanting to hurt her best friends' feelings. “Alright, what time?” Sango asked already sounding bored.

Kagome and Sango approached the school day like any other, heading to their lockers and getting prepared for the school day ahead of them. But something was distracting them from moving on with their day like usual. There was something spreading around the school, and it wasn't a virus. No it was much faster, and the gossip queens were flocking to it like flies on fresh crap. There was news of a huge party spreading through the air like wildfire. Kagome knew it wouldn't take to the end of lunch before the whole school was informed of this so-called important news flash.

 

Now if only Kagome and Sango had the usual run in with one of their enthusiastic, gabby friends they'd have the inside scoop.

 

As if right on cue… “Kagome, Sango!” screamed their boisterous friend Ayumi as Eri and Yuka anxiously ran up behind her.

 

-Sigh- “Great,” Sango whispered and turned around to pretend like she didn't notice the three running up to her.

 

“Hey, you guys, did you hear the big news? Ayumi asked excitedly as she stood before them nearly jumping up and down.

 

“Yeah, there's gonna be this huge, awesome party this weekend!” Eri jumped in with a squeal.

 

Kagome gave them all a bored look.

 

“Yeah, guess whose party it is!” Yuka practically squeaked out with her arms flailing everywhere like she was preparing to fly away.

 

`Humor me', Sango thought annoyed. “Who's?”

 

“Inuyasha Takahashi!” They all yelled in unison, getting unwanted attention from students passing by.

 

Sango just raised an eyebrow to the news and looked over to Kagome waiting for a reaction. Kagome visibly grimaced and slumped down an inch or two not really interested in hearing that name.

 

The girls continued blabbering on spiritedly about how major and great the party was going to be. Could her friends really be that oblivious to the years of feuding she'd had with that guy?

 

`Guess so.' Kagome thought looking at her loquacious friends in bewilderment.

 

“Well…” Sango started, “I think it's about time me and Kagome headed to class so we can get some study time in before our test.” Sango said faking a wide smile and grabbing Kagome's arm while moving quickly down the hall and waving backwards to the ones left behind.

Three hours later…

 

Yawn. `Why does school have to be so boring?' Kagome thought restlessly with her forehead pressed firmly against the desk. `Gee, I hope Sango's having fun in gym with the gossip queens. I know without a doubt she's not as bored as me; furious maybe, but in no way bored. This kind of suffering is worse than torture, enough to drive a sane person psycho, and maybe even vice versa.

 

I still can't believe that party is what has this whole school buzzed. Have they all gone mad? It's just a party for god's sake! Just a party… but of course it's so important because it's his party. For once I'd like to think of something in high school that doesn't revolve around him.'

 

 

Just then Kagome was startled out of her thoughts as the bell rang, signaling lunchtime. Kagome packed up her belongings quickly and made a dash for the exit. `Mmm…so hungry' Kagome thought. `I must have forgotten breakfast again in my normal haste not to be tardy for the 50th time this year.'

 

In the process of jogging out of the classroom door she bumped right into the schools queen B a.k.a. Kikyo Haya and her ignorant little stuck up posse.

 

“Oh I'm so sor… ry” Kagome cut off when she turned around and noticed who it was.

 

“Move it bitch,” Kikyo hissed looking like she was ready to snap any second if Kagome didn't obey.

 

But Kagome would never stoop low enough to fall prey to Kikyos bitchiness. The girl was so vein it surprised even her that she didn't wear a tiara to school everyday. So Kagome settled for giving her the finger as she briskly walked away with more important things on her mind, like food.

 

Kagome turned the corner right in the nick of time for Inuyasha Takahashi to walk around the other corner and greet his new girlfriend.

 

“Inuyasha, baby, I'm having a bad day,” Kikyo cooed and wrapped her arms in a death grip around Inuyashas torso.

 

“What could it possibly be now?” Inuyasha said sounding a little more than annoyed. Then he turned his head to the side snarled at Kikyos posse for snickering behind them, “What are you staring at bitches!?”

 

“Baby, they don't mean any harm they're just excited about us becoming a couple.” Kikyo purred into his ears that sat in a furry triangle on the top of his head as she twirled a strand of his silvery white long hair on her finger. “Besides, aren't you excited about us?” Kikyo tired to mimic a pout.

 

“Keh,” was Inuyashas only reply as he abruptly turned around and started for the cafeteria.
