Kagome walked down the hallway, quiet, onyx covered head bowed against her books. A single tear trailed down her cheek as her longtime friends, Sango, Ayame, and Mimi walked with her.
"That bastard! He actually said that to you?" Mimi said angrily, fixing her round, black rimmed glasses. She was tall, about 5'8" with pretty light brown, cat-like eyes. She had light brown skin and unruly, puffy hair. She was strong-willed and very smart, just a little shy.
"Yeah..." Kagome said dejectedly.
*Flashback*
"Hey Kagome, come here for a second will ya?" her boyfriend, Inuyasha called from the living room of his large three story mansion. He was one of the two cutest boys in school, and everyone wanted him. Kagome didn't see why he even liked her, but she wasn't complaining. And sure, the girls in school gave her hell whenever he wasn't around, but she always cheered herself up with the thought that, no matter how hot, and sexy, and popular the other girls are, HE wanted HER, HE liked HER, not them. So she was happy. Why shouldn't she be? She was dating the almost-cutest-guy at school. The only one hotter was his older brother, Sesshoumaru.
Kagome smiled and walked over to him with two sodas in hand, her braces shinning.
"Come here. I have something I want to tell you." he said, taking the soda but not drinking it. He patted the couch where he sat, his amber eyes looking a little off. He ran his long fingers through his long, tangled silver hair and sighed.
"What is it Yasha?" she said, looking slighly worried through her glasses. She set her soda on the table and looked at him. "Are you okay?"
"Look, I'm sorry Kagome, but---it's over. I can't do this anymore. I can't pretend to like you anymore..." Inuyasha said dejectedly, not looking at her.
"Pre-pretend to like me?" Kagome was crushed. How could he have "pretended" to like her for over a half a year? How? After, after everything they had been through. Fights, and make-ups and him telling her that she was the "only one". It was all a lie? Kagome felt tears build up behind her eyes, but she refused to shed them.
"Yeah, it was part of a bet me and a few buddies of mine had." He said, hanging his head.
"W-What was it about?" Kagome asked. She really wanted to know. If it was about what she thought it was about, then she'd be tottally humiliated. Just last week, on their six month anniversary, she had given him her virginity.
Inuyasha remained silent.
"What was the bet about Inuyasha?" She asked a bit more forcefully.
He sighed in defeat. He couldn't tell her this. "To see if--well, that doesn't really matter anyway. Look--" he said, waving his hand. Kagome's sadness turned to fury.How dare he just dismiss her questions like they were nothing!
"No. I won't look." she said forcefully, standing up, an terrible glint in her eyes. One that spoke of betrayal in the highest manner. Inuyasha was shocked. He'd never seen her angry before. Well, not this angry.
"After everything thing...every fucking goddamned thing I did for you! You just, break up with me?! Saying-saying some- some-- shit, about how you "pretended" to like me! Well, what else have you pretended about, huh?! Who else, have you pretended to? Or an I the "only one"?! You're a bastard, Inuyasha Tashio, you hear me! A fucking, no-good, bastard!"she yelled, all the anger exploding in a flury of accusations and degradement.
Inuyasha lowered his head and put his hands in it. "Yeah, you were the only one." he said, still not looking at her. He hated to break her heart, but she was just too geeky. She was smart, and funny, and great, just not beautiful. And he really did like her, but he had his image to protect. He was about to tell her this until she spoke.
"That's just it, I guess. Goodbye Inuyasha." She said, standing and walking towards the door. Not once letting a single tear drop.
"Kagome! Look, I am sorry." He said, looking truly sincere as he stood there, his arms limply at his sides. "I-"
"No, wait--lemme guess...you're just pretending about that too, huh?" Kagome said coldly as she turned away again. Tears now leaking down her face as her heart crumbled.
*End Flashback*
"And then he has the fucking gall to go out with that slut, Kikyou!" Mimi said angrily. "Ima kick his ass!" she said, readying to about-face.
"I got a better idea." Sango said. "We do it. We do it, then come back. Then everyone will see."
"Yeah!" Mimi said.
"Me too!" Ayamae said, excitedly.
"So do we do it? You know...actually DO it?" Ayame said, her pretty green eyes flashing.She wiped a little sweat off of her acne ridden face as they walked out of the school. She was 5'4", and pretty as well, but her scraggly dull red-brown hair and terrible acne and conservative clothes kind of set people off.
"I say hell yeah." Sango said grinning, her braces gleaming in the spring sun. She was about 5'7" and had a shapely body hidden under a series of skin blotches and facial acne. She had only a retainer, but it was new, so she spit when she talked.
"Guys, I don't know if this is a good idea." Kagome said.
"C'mon Kagome. We're all rich, so it'll be a cinch." Mimi said. "We can do that instead of practice for the Battle of The Bands. And then we'll do the show there, but by then we'll be so popular, we'd be a sure-win!"
"I dunno..." Kagome said unsurely. "It might be a little too much for THEM to handle." she said grinning.
The girls all laughed. "Alright, then!" they said heading to Kagome's ice white limo awaiting them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Okay, do it." Kagome said and closed her eyes as the woman behind her held up sissors. The sound of snipping reached her ears. She bravely cracked an eye open to see her friend Mimi in the next chair over and grinned at her.
Mimi nodded, one eye closed against the straightening iron on her hair.
Sango and Ayame had already been carted off to a new room after their hair had been taken care of.
After about 6 days of continuous grooming, plucking, fitting, zapping, and shopping, four girls emerged---better than before.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Kagome's room the girl planned out what they were going to do.
"And after that, then what?" Kagome said. Her onyx black tresses now highlighted with their natural blue. Her sapphire eyes gleamed behind nothing but air and thick lashes. Her body was outfitted in a mini tee that said "Suck it!" and a pair of cargo pants. Her teeth shined, one hundrend watts of pearly white, straightness.
"We go in in style." Mimi siad winking. They all loved to do extreme sports in Kagome's backyard since her younger brother Souta was into it. Sango was a skater, Ayamae and Mimi were excellent skateboarders, and Kagome had been doing BMX since she was 10.
"Dude," Sango said, her long straight chocolate brown hair shining. Her mocha eyes smiled as her pearly-white teeth did. Her face was smooth as cream, and she wore a black tank-top showing off her flawless skin. "Do you know how long I've been wanting to show off my new moves?!"
"Yeah. I got a new one too. It's bangin! And then we turn on the piss-off-everyone-factor huh?" Ayame said, her straight, shining hair hanging into her acne-free face. She wore simply a green half top and a pair of jean short-shorts.
"Surely." Mimi said running a hand through her now straight and shiny black hair. Her pretty hazel eyes were shinning and her teeth were now pearly-white and straight as well. She wore a dark blue tee shirt that said "Do not disturb me while I'm ignoring you." on it, and a pair of dark blue hip-huggers.
"Me like.." Kagome said.
"How 'bout we make it even sweeter?" Sango asked.
"What's better than this?" Ayame asked.
"Get revenge on Inuyasha." Sango said.
"How?" Mimi asked.
"We set Kaggy here up with someone else! Duh!" Sango said, smacking her forehead.
"Who? There's noone better than Inuyasha." Ayame said.
"Yeah...actually there is..." Kagome said putting her finger to her lips in thought.
"Who?" The girls asked.
"Sesshoumaru." Mimi said, finnally.
"WHAT?! But he has a girlfriend!!!" Ayame and Sango screeched.
"So!" Kagome countered. "He is THE hottest guy in school and he hates Inuyasha's guts. It's just a matter of getting that slut Kagura off his arm." she said.
The girls looked at Kagome in shock.
"Wow Kagome! You actually said the "s" word? What, next thing you know, you'll be telling us you're not a virgin!" Sango said.
Kagome half-smiled. She abosolutly refused to tell them that little piece of information. "So what? Mimi curses."
"Yeah, but that's in the blood. My granddad is a sailor." she said grinning.
"So, what's the plan?" Sango said.
"The Battle of the Bands is the week after we finish Spring Break, right?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah, and this is the last day of Spring break already." Mimi said, sprawling on the floor.
"Exactly. So that gives us one week to make Sesshoumaru to break up with Kagura. Even if he doesn't want me, I just want to make Inuyasha jealous as hell." Kagome said, kicking her legs. "So do we have an agreement, ladies?" Kagome asked, smiling, putting her hand in the middle of her friends.
"Deal!" They all said, putting their hand in.
'This is gonna be fun...' Kagome thought, grinning.
