Chapter 6 Hostility
Knock- knock
After wiping her hands off on a dry towel Mrs. Higurashi ran to open the front door, `Oh, I bet that's Sango.'
“Hey, Mrs. Higurashi, umm… is Kagome here?”
“Oh Sango I'm so glad to see you,” She blurted enthusiastically then reached out of the doorway to hug Sango, “Kagome said you were coming over tonight. Now don't you girls stay up too late, remember it is a school night. You should know Kagome really appreciates you helping her on her geometry, plus she's still pretty sick. I probably should get her an appointment at the doctor's office. Poor girl, not only is she stressing out about school but she has this strange illness I can't even begin to describe. If only I could just-“
“-Mom, could you please stop talking about me!” Kagome screeched as she ran down the stairs, “Hey Sango, come on in.” Kagome said ushering Sango out of the doorway. “Sorry about my mom, you know how she is; she could talk for days if you let her.” Kagome whispered once they reached the stairwell.
“So, I bet you'll never guess who had the nerve to come up to me and Miroku today.” Sango mentioned once Kagome and her were situated in the privacy of Kagome's bedroom.
Kagome gave Sango a bored look. “Hmm… that's a toughie… let me guess… Inuyasha…”
“Yeah… how did you know?”
“I knew he wasn't going to come up to me and actually discuss our upcoming project, especially after the fights me and him got into today in Mr. Hirano's class, that Baka is so infuriating.”
“Damn, that bad?” Sango said sitting down at the end of Kagome's bed.
“Yeah, at one point I went to sit back down and he quickly removed my chair from underneath me and I landed on the floor - hard!”
Sango was now very interested and got excited, “Ouch… so what did you do to him?”
“Nothing, he got yelled at and then kicked out of class for the rest of the hour.”
“Oh, ok well… just to get back on topic here; Inuyasha wanted me to tell you that he wants you to come over to his house so you two can work on that project together.
“Hmm…” Kagome sat down next to Sango, “are you sure that's all he said?”
“Yes!” Sango quickly blurted, “I guess he just thinks that'd it'd be better if you went to his house. Probably because there's more room ya know.”
But Kagome was skeptical and truth be told she really didn't want to hear all of what Inuyasha had to say. “Yeah… riiiiight.”
“So, are you guys ever gonna stop arguing?”
Without a seconds hesitation on Kagome's part, “no.”
“Ya know… maybe if you go up to him and just tell him your sorry for whatever it is you guys have been feuding over for the past 5 years you two might just start getting along.” Sango knew it was a long shot but there could be no harm in trying… well maybe. “So are you going to apologize?”
Kagome raised an eyebrow, “I'm thinking really, really hard,” then she hesitated, as if to give false hope… “But no!”
“Well ok then, but I know I wouldn't want to be on the school's bad side, if you know what I mean?” After seeing the confusion written all over Kagome's face Sango explained in further detail. “If you're on Inuyasha's bad side, you're on the whole school's bad side. Inuyasha kind of rules all of his peers Kagome, he's like the king.” But Kagome still wasn't looking convinced, “I'm sorry but it's true.”
Kagome stood up to tower over Sango, “Yeah so what if it is… I've never done anything to him and he's just always had it in for me. I mean, you know I'm only mean to people who piss me off, so if he doesn't like my attitude it's entirely his fault.” Kagome said crossing her arms in a huff and looking an awful lot like a little kid who didn't get her way.
Sango couldn't say she was surprised by Kagome's reaction, it was expected when Inuyasha was brought up in conversation. She liked that Kagome didn't care about status in high school and she trusted and respected her for it, but she was also bordering on dangerous ground. If she could recall the last person to get into a fight with his all-mighty ended up in the Intensive Care Unit, but fortunately for Kagome's sake it was a guy. “Wow, that's really stubborn of you. I know that Inuyasha is a pain, but I just don't want anybody to give you a hard time, I've been telling you this for your own good, maybe you should just take it easy on Inuyasha and lie low for a little while at least until schools over with.”
“Inuyasha and I are never going to get along ok Sango… and if I start to lie low now he'll think he's won, and that's not an option for me. I'm sorry but that's just the way it's gonna be. But I know you care ok, so thanks Sango.” Kagome said then reached behind her and grabbed a piece of paper with all of her math problems written on it and handed it to Sango, “but don't you think we should get started, we both know I can't get through this alone.” The two girls giggled and sat down on Kagome's floor to get started with the strenuous night they knew was ahead of them.

“Ha ha…” A fake blonde snorted as she sat down on Inuyasha's lap, “Oh Inuyasha, you're so funny!” she squealed then leaned in to give him a big hug at their towns' favorite ice cream parlor where Inuyasha and a bunch of his friend's tend to hang out with their wannabe groupies.
Inuyasha being the noble man he was would never ever hit a woman, even though he reckoned she deserved it, but pushing a woman wasn't necessarily hitting in his book. So he did just that. “Hey, wench, what do I look like?” Inuyasha barked at the girl who just landed at his feet.
“Ugh, fine I'll sit next to you… by the way the name's Leiko!” The girl cried as she settled for plopping down on the other side as all the seats by Inuyasha were currently taken up, by what people would consider gold-diggers. Inuyasha always knew he only attracted those kinds of girls.
`When did all these wench's show up here anyway?' Inuyasha thought agitated by all the high pitched squealing going on around him.
Ding. The bell on the door rang as someone new walked into the store.
“Hey Miroku,” Inuyasha yelled seeing him as the perfect distraction and then got up to approach him as soon as he trampled through his so-called groupies.
“Inuyasha, how are you?” Miroku asked not really caring, but sort of wishing he was Inuyasha with all the attention he was receiving from female classmates.
“Ugh… what do you care?” Inuyasha retorted knowing he didn't really give a damn.
“Just trying to make conversation… so what have you been up to? You look like you've been busy.” Miroku said eyeing the one fake blond that kept smiling at Inuyasha and blowing kisses his way.
“It's not like that,” Inuyasha growled though he didn't really know why he cared to confess anything to Miroku. “Besides what are you up to? Last time I checked you were all cozy with Sango.”
“Yes I am, and I would do anything for Sango… she's like…well I think I'm… oh never mind.” Miroku said dropping the subject as he sat down at a booth.
“Ha, you're totally P.W.!” Inuyasha said laughably then made a whip motion with sound effects.
Sighing Miroku just got misty eyed and dropped his head back to stare up at the ceiling. “Yeah, but instead of being here with me, she's over at your arch enemy's house tutoring her in geometry.”
`Higurashi…' “Oh, that dirty wench! I always knew she was stupid, but how sad that she needs a tutor.” Inuyasha said rudely remembering the whole day's events that had taken place. Then smirked as he remembered pulling Kagome's chair out from underneath her and watching her land on her butt.
“Hey you know she's actually not so bad, you just need to take the time to get to know her.” Miroku tried to politely explain to Inuyasha, but contradicting Inuyasha never was a good idea.
“What are you trying to say, that Kagome actually isn't some ugly queen alien form from the planet Bitch?! Because ask anyone here and they'll all tell you that wench ain't human.” Inuyasha finished arrogantly as he crossed his arms proving his stubbornness.
“I don't understand why you two can't just get over your differences and-“
“Listen, you don't know anything about me! Don't start preaching to me why I need to get along with that wench! I will always hate Kagome Higurashi and nothing you say is ever going to change that!” Just then Inuyasha was contemplating on stomping out of the ice cream shop and get some fresh air but decided against it knowing he would just be followed by more obnoxious twits.
“Alright… gees calm down, I won't mention her name anymore.” Miroku said as usual in his calm manner as he stared down at his drink, and then perked up, “Well is there anything new?” Miroku asked as if Inuyasha hadn't just yelled at him.
“No.”
Miroku looked around to see if anyone was in close proximity, then in his lowest voice possible said, “Really, because I heard from a friend of a friend who heard from a bunch of giddy girls that you were having some major party next weekend.”
Inuyasha just rolled his eyes, “Oh yeah… that… well it wasn't my idea. It's Sesshomaru, his girlfriend from across town likes to plan parties and because he's whipped just like you he usually just goes along with it.”
Miroku stopped and looked at Inuyasha in disbelief, “Wait… Sesshomaru has a girlfriend? Are we talking about the same hateful, ruthless Sesshomaru Takahashi?” Miroku asked in a slight state of shock with a perplexed look on his face.
“Yeah, funny… when I found out I made the same face as you.”
“Wow, so your parents are actually allowing this?” Miroku sputtered.
“Not if they knew about it… my dad is gonna be gone on some business trip… and my moms going to visit my aunt in another city for the weekend.” Inuyasha said as he started to stand up. “Well I gotta go…” Inuyasha announced shortly as he got up and suspiciously looked around to see if anybody would notice him trying to make a clean getaway.
“Alright see ya later…”
Just then Inuyasha stopped as he suddenly remembered something before making his exit and turned around at the entrance. “Hey did you ever tell that wench what I said?”
“Umm… don't you mean Kagome?”
Inuyasha began to tap his foot as he grew impatient, “Yeah, whatever… did you tell her?”
Miroku just raised an eyebrow at his urgency and answered honestly “Well, actually I left that up to Sango to tell her. I know Sango's a lot stronger than me and can handle Kagome's powerful wrath for when she takes all her anger out on her from what you said.”
“Keh” Was all Inuyasha muttered before the door was violently swung open and he disappeared from sight.
`Well… nice talking to you to Inuyasha.'
