A/N: Sorry for the delay! Enjoy!
“ You sure you’re ready to go back to school?” Sango asked Inuyasha as they stood staring down at the school building.
“ You sure you’re cool with cancelling your plans with Bankotsu?”
“ Yeah,” she said with a small smile “ We re-scheduled for this weekend and you and Ayame are coming with us. I figured we all could use a party weekend.”
“ Yeah,” he said with a sigh “ Are you sure this is going to work?”
“ We don’t have much of choice,” she began “ And besides there’s not much else we can do.”
“ Hopefully, he doesn’t show up today” he added “ or this whole thing will just be pointless.”
“ Oh, he won’t.” she said finally walking towards school
“ What makes you so sure?”
“ Trust me,” she said as they reached the entrance “ He would do something unexpected this time so we have no where to run away to. He was apparently getting desperate when he went to find me, and now since his idle threats aren’t working he’s going to try something different.”
“ Different huh?” he said finally getting what she was saying “ Yeah, sounds like him.”
After what happened last night they had a long talk about what they were going to do about Sesshomaru. The more they talked about it the less Inuyasha felt helpless about the situation. With Sango helping him the hunter would turn into the hunted, at least that’s how Inuyasha put it.
“ We’ll get through this,” she said opening the school door “ You’ll see we’ll - Holy -”
“ Sango?” he asked walking in behind her then looking up. “ Holy shit.”
“ I know.” she said as they stared up at the millions of flyers and posters littering the walls.
“ What’s all this for?” Inuyasha asked walking over to one of the light green flyers and pulling it off from the spot it was taped to on the wall.
As Inuyasha stared at it, Sango walked over looking over his shoulder and read aloud “ Like to dance? Then join Yakamoto High school’s first official dance team. It’s a good way to make friends, have fun, and get exposed to all sorts of dance styles.”
“ Weird.”
“ Yeah, tell me about it.” she said taking the paper from Inuyasha “ Looks like auditions are tomorrow after school.”
“ Yeah,” he said staring at the multi-colored flyers and loud posters. “ I wonder who started the whole thing.”
After glancing over the paper once again her mouth almost dropped open when she read the contact information.
“ No way.”
“ What?” he asked looking at her
“ For details,” she read “ Contact Kagome Higarashi.”
“ Huh?” he said taking the paper from her and scanned over the flyer causing his mouth to actually dropped open.
“ Told you,” she said scratching her head “ She doesn’t seem like the type to -”
“ Hey guys!” called a familiar voice from behind them “ Welcome back.”
“ Hey Princess,” Sango began as they turned around “ Care to tell us -”
Suddenly, Sango and Inuyasha were stunned speechless when they turned around to see Kagome who wasn’t dressed in her normal tasteful sweater vests, tennis skirts, pearls, and penny loafers but instead had on a black mini-skirt, a white spaghetti-strap tank top, with black boots that came up to her mid-thigh. Her hair was curled and fell loose over her shoulders and her make-up that was normally so light that you’d think she wasn’t wearing any was replaced by perfectly blended white and black eye shadow with dark mascara and eyeliner in which was put at a point at the corner of her eyes which gave her a sort of cat-like appearance.
“ What?” she asked blinking her brown eyes in confusion.
“ Who the hell are you?” Sango asked not believing what she was seeing.
“ You like it?” she asked spinning around “ I decided to re-invent myself.”
“ That’s great and all,” Sango said “ But that still doesn’t answer my question.”
“ Hey Sango! Hey Inuyasha!” yelled Ayame running up next to Kagome. “ Nice to see you both back in school. I thought you’d be home again today Sango?”
“ Yeah well,” she said “ Things change.”
“ Right,” she said with a small grin “ And how are you Inuyasha?”
“ Better,” he stated “ For the most part.”
“ Glad to hear it,” she said smiling even wider.
“ You still haven’t told me what you guys think.” Kagome piped up
“ Sorry,” Sango answered “ I still haven’t figured who you are.”
“ Oh, very funny,” she said giving her a look “ What about you Inuyasha?”
Inuyasha glanced over Kagome once again still not believing his eyes. She looked like a completely different person. He then realized that he spent his whole time at school thinking of her as a clone of Kikyo that he never really got to think of her as just Kagome. And looking at her now he knew that she wasn’t Kikyo and should have never gotten freaked out by her in the first place. She was annoying, stuck up, and a little bratty, but it seemed like she was trying to make a complete turn around. And even though he really didn’t want to, he had to admit she did look pretty hot.
“ You look good.” he stated matter-of-factly
“ Thanks,” she said a slight blush rising to her cheeks.
‘ Oh boy.’ Sango thought rolling her eyes.
“ Can you believe it though!?!” Ayame shrieked “ A dance team! I’m so excited! Finally, no more cheerleading! I can’t wait for try-outs!”
“ Please,” Kagome said rolling her eyes “ Like, you have to try-out. I’ve already seen what you can do. You are gonna be my co-captain.”
“ Really?” Ayame asked in disbelief
“ Totally,” she said with a laugh “ I need someone to help me judge the try-outs after all.”
“ Hella Kickass!” she yelled giving Kagome a big hug.
“ Okay,” Sango said watching the two giggle and jump around excitedly “ Am I the only one weirded out?”
“ No.” Inuyasha answered
“ Didn’t think so.”
“ Well, gotta get to class,” Kagome said with a smile “ See you guys later!”
“ Bye!” Ayame added giving them both a small wink.
As Ayame and Kagome walked off, Sango and Inuyasha stood with confused looks on their faces. As the bell rang and the halls cleared they still had trouble registering what was going on.
“ Ummm,” Sango began “ Let’s just go to class.”
“ Good idea.”
As the day went on Sango couldn’t stop being confused, they were only gone two days and Kagome had completely dumped her friends, dumped her boyfriend, started a dance team, changed her whole look, and had been hanging out with people she’d never even talked to before. Not only that but she kept seeing Miroku being followed around by a gaggle of girls all day, it was like he was a rock star and they were his groupies. It was enough to make her sick, and if that wasn’t bad enough the members of her football team were being strangely nice to her for some reason. It almost made it hard for her to concentrate during her classes, so by the time she made it to sixth period study hall she was happy for the mental break.
“ This has been the strangest day,” she said plopping down in her normal study hall spot.
“ I know.” Inuyasha said looking up from his sketch pad
“ I mean damn, we were only gone for two days and Ayame who was absent with me seems unaffected by the whole thing.”
“ Well,” Inuyasha began “ It’s a little strange but nothing to freak out about.”
“ Yo Sango!” said Koga giving her a nod as he walked by.
Sango gave him a small wave as he walked off, then turned to Inuyasha who had a shocked look on his face.
“ Nothing to freak out about huh?” she inquired raising an eyebrow at him.
“ Okay, I was wrong.”
“ Hey Sango,” said a soft voice coming from above her.
Sango looked up and locked with a pair of light blue eyes, sighing, she turned her attention towards Inuyasha who went back to drawing.
“ What’s up Hojo?” she asked
“ Can I talk to you for a second?”
“ Sure,” she said sighing once again “ Why not?”
Standing up she glanced at Inuyasha who was silently snickering while pretending to draw. As she began to follow Hojo when he walked over to the direction of a picnic table she made a mental note to kill Inuyasha later. When they got over to the small picnic table that was further over from the others Hojo sat down.
“ Aren’t you going to sit?” she asked when Sango didn’t join him.
“ Just tell me what you want.” she said boredly
“ It’s about Kagome.” he answered staring into the sky
“ I figured as much,” she said “ So, what you want to know? Or want me to do?”
~~~~~~~~~~~
“ Hey Inuyasha!” Kagome yelled walking over “ Where’s Sango?”
“ Talking with Hojo,” he said not looking up
“ Oh?” she asked sitting down in Sango’s normal spot.
“ Not curious?”
“ Why should I be?” she asked “ We’re over.”
Inuyasha stopped mid-sketch and glanced up at the girl sitting across from him. She was sitting with her knees to her chest looking off to the left, the light from the trees reflected off her face in a way that was almost perfect. Suddenly, getting an idea he turned to a new page in his sketch book and started a new drawing.
“ So, what’s with the sudden change?” Inuyasha asked curiously
“ What do you mean?” she asked looking at him
Inuyasha gave her a look as she sighed, looking back to the left at her old friends talking and laughing. Then suddenly she began to smile.
“ I thought about what Sango said,” she began “ And she was right, I can’t have everything. I then I realized I didn’t want everything. All I wanted, was to have normal friends, ones who actually like me for being be and not for being some perfect wind-up doll.”
“ Does your mother know?”
“ I’m sorry?” she asked surprised by the question.
“ You said once that your mother works a lot. Normally, parents who do work a lot have impossibly high standards for their kids.” he began “ And besides I’m sure you weren’t taking on all that extra volunteer work and extra circulars for your health.”
“ You’re right about that,” she said with a small smile “ My mother, I guess she means well it’s just for so long she’s wanted me to be someone I don’t want to be.”
“ Who do you want to be?”
Kagome looked straight at Inuyasha almost not believing the conversation they were having, no one had ever asked her that before. Everyone had always just assumed who she was and who she wanted to be. That’s when she knew her first impression of Inuyasha was wrong, he was genuinely a good guy. She felt pretty awful that it took her so long to realize that. She was only crushing on him because she thought he was just your average token bad boy. Now, she liked him even more, and she was finally happy she could admit that to herself. Then she thought maybe if he could see the real her then maybe he would give her a chance. So, in this hope she decided to tell him the one thing she sworn she’d never tell anyone.
“ If I tell you will you take it to your grave?”
“ Sounds intense,” he said locking eyes with her. “ Okay, I promise.”
“ I want to be...” she said trailing off
“ Be what?” he asked sounding serious. “ You can trust me you know.”
“ I know,” she said automatically
“ Well?”
“ I want to be a dancer.” she said with a sigh and a small blauh
“ So, that’s the real reason behind the dance team.” he said with a small smile, not really all that surprised when she told him.
“ Yeah,” she said “ I suppose.”
“ That’s cool,” he said going back to his sketch.
“ Really?” she asked surprised
“ Sure,” he said “ If that’s what you love to do. Then that’s what you should be.”
Kagome looked over at Inuyasha just as he looked back up from his sketch and smiled, they locked eyes as Inuyasha smiled back suddenly getting that same feeling he got when he looked at her back at The Paradise. Suddenly, the bell rang causing Inuyasha to snap out of it as he quickly stuffed his sketch pad in his bag and got up, wanting to get away from the situation before he did something stupid.
“ Inuyasha?” he heard Kagome say as soon as he got up.
“ Yeah?” he asked not turning around.
“ Ummm, Do you want to go out some time?”
“ Uh,” he said “ Sure.”
“Really?” She began “ Cool, I’ll call you.”
“ Okay,” he said as he began to walk away “ See ya.”
‘ I can’t believe I just did that.’ Kagome thought as he walked away.
‘ What the hell I am doing?’ Inuyasha thought as he ran into the school.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango just finished talking to Hojo as he observed the interaction between Kagome and Inuyasha just as he walked off. Getting suspicious she ran past Kagome who had this strange dreamy stunned look on her face and after Inuyasha. When she finally caught up with him he was already at his locker.
“ Inuyasha!” she called as she ran over to him and slammed his locker shut just as he opened it.
“ What the hell Sango!?!”
“ Okay, what’s going on?” she demanded
“ Nani?” he asked confusion
“ With you and Kagome,” she said giving him a look “ I know there’s something.”
“ Can we talk about it later?” he asked re-opening his locker
“ Fine,” she said smartly “ But we will talk about it later.”
“ Yes mother.” he said sarcastically
“ Oh ha ha,” she said
“ So, what did Hojo want?”
“ To ask what was up with Kagome and to ask me if I could talk to her. Then after I said no to both things guess what he did?”
“ Call you a bitch?” he teased
“ No, he asked if I wanted to hang with him and the team sometime.”
“ You’re kidding?” he asked not believing a word she said
“ No, I’m not,” she began as he shut his locker “ he said that since I’m a part of the team that they should start treating me like one.”
“ What?” he asked confused
“ Like, I bought that shit for a second,” she said walking next to Inuyasha to her next class. “ Anyway, we’ll finish this discussion after school. Bye!”
After Sango ducked into her class room, Inuyasha walked a little further, his mind still reeling from the day he was having. Most of all he was wondering why he said he’d go out with Kagome. Shaking it off he walked into his last period class hoping that something remotely normal would happened to him before the day was done.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Once school was out Sango waited outside the school at the side of the building for Inuyasha, they had to follow through with part of their plan before the day was over and in order to do that she pretty much needed him. Sighing, she leaned up against the building kicking a stone with her combat boots wondering what was taking him so long when a door opened and Miroku walked out. Seeing as he wasn’t followed by his “groupies” as Sango called them she decided she might as well say hello.
“ Hey Miroku!” she yelled causing him to turn around
“ Oh hey Sango,” he answered back walking over to where she was standing “ What’s up?”
“ Nothing really,” she began “ Just waiting for Inuyasha.”
“ Yeah,” he started “ Sorry, I didn’t get to talk to you guys today. I’ve been busy.”
“ I noticed,” she said “ Where are your gaggle of groupies anyway?”
“ They can’t follow me around all the time.” he chuckled
“ I see.” she said looking at her watch.
“ How’s your brother’s documentary going?”
“ Good actually,” she said “ Although, I haven’t really seen him around as much as I used to. But that’s good because it means he’s keeping busy.”
“ Miroku!” they heard a voice call
Sango looked over Miroku’s shoulder to see a girl a rather pale looking girl with short black hair, and ruby colored eyes run over to him.
“ Hey Yura!” he called back as she ran up to him and immediately latched onto his arm.
“ Sango this is Yura,” he said “ Yura, this is Sango.”
“Hi.” she said quickly then turned her attention back to Miroku “ Roku, you promised you’d take me out.”
“ I will,” he said sweetly “ I’m just talking to my friend.”
Suddenly, Sango felt rather annoyed, Miroku supposedly liked her according to Ayame and he was flaunting some girl on his arm. She knew she had no reason to be angry because she was dating Bankotsu but still it annoyed her to no end. Sango narrowed her eyes at Miroku for using some girl who in her eyes was clearly a cheap slut to make her jealous was almost insulting to her. Then she thought if it was bothering her so much then maybe she was jealous. Not wanting to give him the benefit of thinking she actually was jealous she stayed silent as if to give nothing away.
‘ Where the hell is Inuyasha?’ she thought now extremely irritated.
Miroku glanced at Sango and noticed the annoyance on her face and thought maybe the their plan was working after all.
“ Hey,” Inuyasha said running up to the Sango “ Sorry.”
“ It’s fine,” she said grabbing his arm and pulling him towards the parking lot “ Let’s go, later Miroku.”
“ See ya!” he said watching as the walked off before escorting Yura to his car.
“ Whoa, where ‘s the fire?” Inuyasha asked just as the got to the car
“ Miroku is trying to make me jealous by flaunting some cheap slut on his arm.”
“ I guess it’s working seeing how you’re so upset by it.”
“ I am not upset or jealous!” she screamed as Sango popped open the car locks. “ I’m insulted that he would use her to make me jealous. At least get someone with some class.”
“ Maybe he didn’t even do it to make you jealous.”
“ Please,” she said as she got into the driver’s seat as Inuyasha got into the passenger side and closed the doors. “ He asked me out , I said no, now he has groupies.”
“ You don’t even know this girl,” he said as he put on his seat belt “ So why do you assume she’s a slut?”
“ I’m just mad.”
“ I though you said you weren’t upset?” he asked giving her a look
“ Mad and upset are two different things and what about you and Kagome?”
“ What about it?”
“ You said you’d go out with her!” she yelled at him
“ So?” he said staring out the window, not surprised she found out before he told her.
“ Inuyasha are you sure you’re - ”
“ It’s just one date, it’s not like we’re going to fall in love, get married, and live happily ever after.”
“ Only you would say something that retarded,” she sighed “ God, this day is fucked up.”
“ No shit.” he answered as Sango began to pull out of the student parking lot.
“ Oh well,” she began “ Nothing left to do but go onto phase two.”
“ Let’s hope this first part goes as planned.”
“ Yeah, let’s worry about all that High School drama later,” she began as they got completely out of the parking lot and started down the street. “ Right now the only thing we need to worry about is making sure we get through this whole plan as quick and painless as possible. You call Jaylynn?”
“ Yup,” he said “ She’s expecting me.”
“ Good,” she said with a small grin “ Let the games begin.”

The Angel of Night
“ You sure you’re ready to go back to school?” Sango asked Inuyasha as they stood staring down at the school building.
“ You sure you’re cool with cancelling your plans with Bankotsu?”
“ Yeah,” she said with a small smile “ We re-scheduled for this weekend and you and Ayame are coming with us. I figured we all could use a party weekend.”

“ Hella Kickass!” she yelled giving Kagome a big hug.

“ No.” Inuyasha answered
“ Didn’t think so.”
“ Well, gotta get to class,” Kagome said with a smile “ See you guys later!”

As Ayame and Kagome walked off, Sango and Inuyasha stood with confused looks on their faces. As the bell rang and the halls cleared they still had trouble registering what was going on.

‘ What the hell I am doing?’ Inuyasha thought as he ran into the school.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango just finished talking to Hojo as he observed the interaction between Kagome and Inuyasha just as he walked off. Getting suspicious she ran past Kagome who had this strange dreamy stunned look on her face and after Inuyasha. When she finally caught up with him he was already at his locker.
“ Inuyasha!” she called as she ran over to him and slammed his locker shut just as he opened it.
“ What the hell Sango!?!”
“ Okay, what’s going on?” she demanded
“ Nani?” he asked confusion
“ With you and Kagome,” she said giving him a look “ I know there’s something.”
“ Can we talk about it later?” he asked re-opening his locker
“ Fine,” she said smartly “ But we will talk about it later.”
“ Yes mother.” he said sarcastically
“ Oh ha ha,” she said
“ So, what did Hojo want?”
“ To ask what was up with Kagome and to ask me if I could talk to her. Then after I said no to both things guess what he did?”
“ Call you a bitch?” he teased
“ No, he asked if I wanted to hang with him and the team sometime.”
“ You’re kidding?” he asked not believing a word she said
“ No, I’m not,” she began as he shut his locker “ he said that since I’m a part of the team that they should start treating me like one.”
“ What?” he asked confused
“ Like, I bought that shit for a second,” she said walking next to Inuyasha to her next class. “ Anyway, we’ll finish this discussion after school. Bye!”
After Sango ducked into her class room, Inuyasha walked a little further, his mind still reeling from the day he was having. Most of all he was wondering why he said he’d go out with Kagome. Shaking it off he walked into his last period class hoping that something remotely normal would happened to him before the day was done.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Once school was out Sango waited outside the school at the side of the building for Inuyasha, they had to follow through with part of their plan before the day was over and in order to do that she pretty much needed him. Sighing, she leaned up against the building kicking a stone with her combat boots wondering what was taking him so long when a door opened and Miroku walked out. Seeing as he wasn’t followed by his “groupies” as Sango called them she decided she might as well say hello.
“ Hey Miroku!” she yelled causing him to turn around
“ Oh hey Sango,” he answered back walking over to where she was standing “ What’s up?”
“ Nothing really,” she began “ Just waiting for Inuyasha.”
“ Yeah,” he started “ Sorry, I didn’t get to talk to you guys today. I’ve been busy.”
“ I noticed,” she said “ Where are your gaggle of groupies anyway?”
“ They can’t follow me around all the time.” he chuckled
“ I see.” she said looking at her watch.
“ How’s your brother’s documentary going?”
“ Good actually,” she said “ Although, I haven’t really seen him around as much as I used to. But that’s good because it means he’s keeping busy.”
“ Miroku!” they heard a voice call
Sango looked over Miroku’s shoulder to see a girl a rather pale looking girl with short black hair, and ruby colored eyes run over to him.
“ Hey Yura!” he called back as she ran up to him and immediately latched onto his arm.
“ Sango this is Yura,” he said “ Yura, this is Sango.”
“Hi.” she said quickly then turned her attention back to Miroku “ Roku, you promised you’d take me out.”
“ I will,” he said sweetly “ I’m just talking to my friend.”
Suddenly, Sango felt rather annoyed, Miroku supposedly liked her according to Ayame and he was flaunting some girl on his arm. She knew she had no reason to be angry because she was dating Bankotsu but still it annoyed her to no end. Sango narrowed her eyes at Miroku for using some girl who in her eyes was clearly a cheap slut to make her jealous was almost insulting to her. Then she thought if it was bothering her so much then maybe she was jealous. Not wanting to give him the benefit of thinking she actually was jealous she stayed silent as if to give nothing away.
‘ Where the hell is Inuyasha?’ she thought now extremely irritated.
Miroku glanced at Sango and noticed the annoyance on her face and thought maybe the their plan was working after all.
“ Hey,” Inuyasha said running up to the Sango “ Sorry.”
“ It’s fine,” she said grabbing his arm and pulling him towards the parking lot “ Let’s go, later Miroku.”
“ See ya!” he said watching as the walked off before escorting Yura to his car.
“ Whoa, where ‘s the fire?” Inuyasha asked just as the got to the car
“ Miroku is trying to make me jealous by flaunting some cheap slut on his arm.”
“ I guess it’s working seeing how you’re so upset by it.”
“ I am not upset or jealous!” she screamed as Sango popped open the car locks. “ I’m insulted that he would use her to make me jealous. At least get someone with some class.”
“ Maybe he didn’t even do it to make you jealous.”
“ Please,” she said as she got into the driver’s seat as Inuyasha got into the passenger side and closed the doors. “ He asked me out , I said no, now he has groupies.”
“ You don’t even know this girl,” he said as he put on his seat belt “ So why do you assume she’s a slut?”
“ I’m just mad.”
“ I though you said you weren’t upset?” he asked giving her a look
“ Mad and upset are two different things and what about you and Kagome?”
“ What about it?”
“ You said you’d go out with her!” she yelled at him
“ So?” he said staring out the window, not surprised she found out before he told her.
“ Inuyasha are you sure you’re - ”
“ It’s just one date, it’s not like we’re going to fall in love, get married, and live happily ever after.”
“ Only you would say something that retarded,” she sighed “ God, this day is fucked up.”
“ No shit.” he answered as Sango began to pull out of the student parking lot.
“ Oh well,” she began “ Nothing left to do but go onto phase two.”
“ Let’s hope this first part goes as planned.”
“ Yeah, let’s worry about all that High School drama later,” she began as they got completely out of the parking lot and started down the street. “ Right now the only thing we need to worry about is making sure we get through this whole plan as quick and painless as possible. You call Jaylynn?”
“ Yup,” he said “ She’s expecting me.”
“ Good,” she said with a small grin “ Let the games begin.”
