Kokoro (Heart)
Chapter 4


In this fic, Shippo and Rin are the same age as Kagome and the others.


Kagome sat behind Inuyasha in her first period class. 'Oh, he is SO fine.' she said staring at the back of his head. Good thing she sat behind him in this class she could stare all she wanted to. 'I wonder what he's thinking about right now.' she thought her chin in her hands as she stared at the back of Inuyasha silver hair. She reached down and grabbed a strand. 'Wow, it's so soft.' she thought as Inuyasha turned around startling her. "Sorry, just wanted to touch your hair." she said rubbing the strand in her hand. Inuyasha snorted and turned around. "Aww,is little doggy boy pmsing?" she whispered leaning forward a bit. Inuyasha turned back around. "No, but this Dog boy is about to take a chunk-" he began. "Inuyasha! Kagome, perhaps you would like to take your conversation outside, this is the 3rd time I've had interrupt one of your obviously more important conversations." snapped the teacher. Kagome stood. "Fine by me, I'm glad to get out of this hell hole." she said then walked out of the class, earning wolf whistles from all the boys as she walked out of the class room, and growls from Inuyasha that instatly stopped them.
'What the fuck am I growling about?' she asked himself as he walked down the hall with Kagome. "What do you suppose we do now?" Kagome asked as they walked. She looked at Inuyasha who was walking with his eyes closed. Kagome poked him. "What?" he asked opening one eye and looking at her. "What are you thinking about right now?" she asked. He sighed. "Getting the fuck up out of here." he answered making Kagome laugh. "Isn't everyone?" she asked making Inuyasha smirk. "You know when I first met you, I thought you were crazy. But now that we're roommates, I kNOW you're crazy. OW!" Inuyasha said earning a punch in the arm from Kagome. He rubbed his arm. "I barely touched you." she said waving her hand. 'I know.' Inuyasha thought even though it didn't hurt.
Inuyasha stopped walking and sighed. Kagome kept walking then stopped. "I have a good idea Yash." she said turning around an evil glint in her eye. She went over and whispered her plan in Inuyasha's ear, making him laugh. "Hurry, I wan't to make sure it's done by the end of class." Kagome said grabbing Inuyasha's hand pulling him towards the nearest custodian's closet for the supplies they'd need. Inuyasha looked down at Kagome as she ran. 'She doesn't look too bad in that uniform.' he thought looking at her legs. He sighed and shook his head. 'I really must be wearing my helmet too tight.' he thought as she stopped. She laughed. "Let's set this plan into motion." she said grabbing a large jar of tar she was going to need.

The bell rang signaling the end of the period. The door opened and teenagers poured form all the classrooms, stopping at their lockers then heading to their class. Inuyasha and Kagome stood at Sango's and Miroku's locker waiting for them. "Way to go Kags, kicked out of your first class!" Sango said to her high fiving her when she saw her. "Thanks Sang, but you ain't seen nothing yet." Kagome said pointing across the hall to Kikyo's locker. "Oh look guys, it Kikyo and her gang of Atomic Sluts." Kagome said loudly, putting a hand over her mouth coyly as Kikyo and her friends looked over at them. Inuyasha and Miroku laughed while Sango and Kagome high fived. Kikyo walked over to her. "Oops, did I say that? I only spoke the truth." she said inncocently. "One day Higurashi, you're gonna pay." she sneered at her. Kagome laughed. "Yeah right, I'm so scared. Why don't you get out of my face before I dot you other- Oops, seems both of your eyes are blacked. Seems like the next thing I'll have to punch is your nose." Kagome smiled. "Bitch." Kikyo said, then she tossed her hair over her shoulder and went back to her locker. "Watch this." Inuyasha said to them.
Kikyo opened her locker and as soon as she opened it, tar shot out of her locker, completely covering her. Then came the feathers. Kikyo seemed to hyperventalate in anger. Then she turned to Kagome her eyes murderous. Kagome waved at her. "Nice to see you look like the chickenhead that you are." Kagoem said, earning a high five from the gang and Kikyo's high pitched scream. "You're gonna pay!" she yelled at her, then took off down the hall, her gang folloing behind her. Kagome and her friends fell against their lockers laughing. "I can't believe you did that!" Sango said. "Believe it." Kagome answered high fiving again. They got their books and went to their next class. "Ooh, P.E. I wonder what their uniforms are gonna look like." Miroku said as they entered the gym a perverted smile on his face. "Perv." SAngo said punching him in the back of the head. "My dear Sango, my must you abuse me so?" he asked dramatically. "Cause you're a perv." she answered as they walked towards the bleachers then sat down on them.
There was a high pitched whistle that made Inuyasha cover his ears and Kagome laugh at him. "Sorry Yash, it's just that you look so cute when you're in pain." Kagome said in a baby's voice pinching Inuyasha cheek. "Feh." was all Inuyasha said as the coach called them all to the center of the floor. The coach passed out uniforms, which are skimpier than the regular uniforms. Then split them into groups to go into the changing rooms since they were so small.Kagome stripped her clthes off in a dressing room next to sango. The uniform was a dark navy blue leotard with white sweater going over it and high top tennis shoes. "My god! Are they trying to KILL our indeviduality?" Kagome said once she stepped outside the dressing room and stood in front of the mirror. "This is practically underwear!" Sango exclaimed. Then they turned around. "Hey,is it just me or are our butts getting bigger?" Kagome asked. Then she sighed. "God, Kami, Budda, PLEASE help me." she sighed. Then she linked arms with Sango and walked out of the gym. They sat at their bleachers and waited for the guys to come out.
'My god! He is SO hot!' Kagome thought as she saw Inuyasha exit out of the dressing room in a dark navy blue tanktop and white basketball shorts. "Hey ladies." Miroku said sitting across from them. Sango rolled her eyes. Kagome tried to sit in a nonrevealing postion but found that was hard. "God, I feel so naked." Kagome said. "Join the club." came the reply from ALL the girls in the gym, making Kagome jump in look around. "Miroku, are you sure someone in your family didn't design these uniforms? They seem pretty perverted to me." she asked Miroku and he shrugged. "Maybe, maybe not. Who knows?" Inuyasha said covering his ears as the whistle was blowin again. "Come on, time for stretches!" yelled the coach. "Stretches! I am NOT doing this." she said. The coach turned to her, his mustache seemed to grow bigger as he grew angry. "Either you do this, or detention." he said. "You know what, you're just an old sick perv. You have girls coming in here half dressed and then you want us to do stretches. I'm sorry but I'll take detention then having some old perv oogling me." she said crossing her arms. His face grew red with anger as most of the girls stood up with Kagome one of them Sango.
"Well then, if anyone has a problem with it, go to the office." he said. Instantly the girls that had stood up followed Kagome and Sango out of the hall. "Way to sock it to him! Hi, I'm Rin." said a bubbly girl once they were outside the gym. "Nice to meet you, I'm Kagome." she said. "And I'm Sango." Sango said. They all shook hands. "To tell you the truth that guy does look like a pervert doesn't he?" Rin asked them as they leaned against the wall. They stood there talking for few minutes before they invited her to their dorm, they just decided to skip the rest of the day.
There was no way they were going to the office. The doors opened revealing Miroku and Inuyasha and some boy with orange hair, who was laughing with Inuyasha. Miroku looked pretty angry. "What did you guys do?"Kagome asked tapping her foot. "Well, we had finished stretching and coach said it was time for the guys to climb the ropes." Miroku said, his face set in a grim line. "And...it was....Mrioku's turn to climb the rope...but when he got to the top..." Inuyasha said breaking into laughter. "We set the rope on fire with my lighter." laughed the boy with orange hair. "Shippo! That's not nice." Rin said. "Who cares, it was funny!" Inuyasha and Shippo said breaking into more laughter. "C'mon, let's go back to the dorm before any teahcers decide they want to give us detention." Sango said beginning to walk towards their dorm.

"I'm like a bird!" Sango,Rin, and Kagome sang, once they ahd all changed clothes. They were all sitting in the living room and had snuck in about a years supply of smirnoff and were 'taste testing' some of the bottles. "You guys are crazy." Shippo said. "You know it!" Kagome smiled as she drank from a bottle. Kagome stood and turned the stereo. "C'mon someone dance with me." Kagome said. All the guys sat on the couch and the girls were sitting on the floor near the low table. "C'mon Sango, please dance with me." Kagoem said running her hands sensuously over Sango's arms. "Ok, ok. But only one dance." she said. "Yayyy!" Kagome said clapping her hands. Then they turned the stereo up really loud and moved all the furniture to the side of the wall. "Whenever Kagome gets drunk, she just HAS to dance." Sango whispered into Rin's ear as she stood to join Kagome, making her laugh. "Oh, I wanna dance too." she said sitting her drink down. Soon it was like a miniature party and Kagome had convicned a drunken Rin and high Shippo to join Miroku and Sango slow dancing near the stereo. Kagome sat on the couch, smoking a cigarette. "I am a genius, I am." she sang sitting next to Inuyasha, making him chuckle. "That you are." he said clinking smirnoff bottles with her. "First, you prank Kikyo. Then you get TWO couples together. How do you do it?" he asked. She shrugged, "Guess it was a born talent." she said taking the last sip from her bottle then sitting it on the low table. She stood and pulled Inuyasha;s hand. "Now, you come dance with me." she said.
"Ok, ok. But only once." he said sitting his drink down as Kagome pulled him over to where evryone else was swaying to the slow song. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around Kagome's waist. SHe layed her head on his shoulder and sighed. 'This feels right.' she thought as they swayed. Kagome closed her eyes. Inuyasha had his chin on Kagome's head. He looked down at her. 'She's so beautiful...wait, where did THAT come from!' he thought to himself as they danced. "You know Inuyasha, you're really sexy." came Kagome's voice. "What?" Inuyasha said, thinking he'd heard wrong. "I said, you're sexy." Kagome giggled her cheeks red. "Oh fuck, you're drunk." he said. 'And she couldn't have said it when she was sober?' he thought to himself, he was drunk but was good at hiding it. But once he got past his limit, watch out. The song ended and the couples broke apart. Then there was a knock at their door. Kaogme went to answer it. "What the fuck?!" she screamed as people started filing in with kegs and pounds of pot. "Think of it as a prize for standing up to that perverted call." Rin yelled over the music and people that came pouring in. "How did you do it?" Sango asked Rin. She pulled out her cell phone. "I have my ways." she said, making Kagome and Sango laugh. "Yeah! Now we can really party." Kagome said walking over and turning the studio up even louder. Who cared it it was in the middle of the day, and all the people in the room were skipping.
"Hey, won't we get caught?" Kagome asked as she lit a blunt. Rin shook her head. "Nope, teachers never check the dorms, stupid huh? That's why everyone is able to sneak h=every drug under the sun into this hellhole, and they think we're getting away from it all." said Rin. "How long have you been here?" Sango asked, recieving the blunt from Kagome. "Um, about 2 years. I got 2 mroe left." she sighed shaking her head. "What did you do?" Kagome asked. Then Rin chuckled. "Uh, I stole a car, broke into a house with my friends, and got busted at a party. ALL in one night, in that order." she said. Kagome shook her head. "Damn, and I thought I was bad," Kagome smirked. "Kagome, Sango, and Rin! Get your asses over here." came Inuyasha voice over the musice. They all got up and went over to the makeshift bar at the kitchen counter. He sat down 3 drinks in front of them. "Try 'em." he said. Kagome grabbed her glass and swirled it around a bit before taking a sip. The others followed suit, then their eyes got wide. "What is this?" they all aske di nan amazed voice. "That's for me to know, and NEVER to find out." he smirked. "Well whatever it is, make me a couple more." Sango said, finishing her's off. Kagome watched as Inuyasha mixed mroe drink for people. 'I would LOVE to jump his bones...Kagome, bad girl!' she thought shaking her head. 'Ok, too much weed and alchohol...what the fuck AM I saying, there's never too much!' she thought as she made her way back to her room, the blunt in her hand.
SHe flopped down on her bed. 'Ahh, and I thought I would never party again.' she thought as she took a drag from her blunt as she lay on the bed. Then she heard her door open. "Inuyasha?" she asked. "Yeah." came his voice. "What are you doing in here?" she asked, sitting up. "To check on you, you ok?" he said walking over and sitting on the bed. She chuckled. "I've never felt better in my life." she smiled. He nodded. "You know Miroku beat Sango at a chugging contest." he said. Kagome's eyes widdened. "No way!" she said. Inuyasha nodded. "No one EVER beats Sango." she said in awe. "Well, Miroku did, the old pervert." he chuckled. "Looks like Sango found her soul mate." kagome said. "What?" Inuyasha asked, raising an eyebrow. 'He is so sexy when he does that.' she thought as she looked at Inuyasha. "Kagome?" he asked. "Huh, what?" she said coming out of her daydream about Inuyasha. She shook her head a couple of times, making Inuyasha laugh. "What's so funny?" she asked sitting up. "Nothing." he smiled laying a hand on her leg. Kagome felt heat instantly pool between her legs. 'If Inuyasha doesn't move his hand I'm gonna rape him!' she thought.
Then Inuyasha moved his hand and stood. "Well, I guess since you're alright I'll go back out and start mixing drinks for everyone again." he said. 'Wait...oh just let him go.' she thought to herself as her door closed as he walked out. She then let out a LONG sigh. "He didn't know how close he was to getting seriously raped." she said. Then she got off the bed and walked back out to the party. Hey, dancing could get her mind off of anything. She found Sango, dancing on top of the low table. "Sango!" Kagome yelled. Sango held out her hand and pulled Kagome onto the table. Kagome looked out over the room and saw Inuyasha had his eyes on her, she then began to smirk. Sango elbowed her. "Let's show 'em Kags." she said. Kagome nodded her smiled growing wider. They then began to dance with eachother, earning whistles and calls from all the guys. It was pretty large table so Kagome acutally had room to move around. She moved her hips slowly as one of her arms was on Sango's shoudler. She slid slowly to the ground her hands running over Sango's legs who was still dancing. "Go Kagome! Go Sango!" came Rin's voice, pumping the girls up even more. When the song ended Kagome was kind of standing above Sango, close to kissing her but not going to. The crowd clapped and cheered as they stepped off the table. Kagome looked over at Inuyasha, who was leaning on the counter, a smirk on his face as he watched her talk to Rin and Sango. As if she knew she did it to get some kid fo reaction out of him. She then looked over her shoudler one more time and winked at him then entered the small crowd of people beginning to dance again.


Kagome leaned on Inuyasha who was trying to walk her to the kitchen for something to eat. Kagome laughed loudly as Sango wobbled around trying to kick the rest of the people there out of their dorm so they could relax. Rin sat on the couch with Shippo's head in her lap. "That was the party of the century. And it's only 2:48 am." he said. "Fuck! I'm going to have a killer hang over tomorow." Kagome smiled shaking her head. Sango closed the door, the room finally empty except for them suprisingly their spot was still clean except for the many bags of pot people left over. Sango tried to walk over to an empty recliner but Miroku pulled her into his lap by the waist. "And just where do you think you're going beautiful?" he asked her. "I was going to go to my own seat." she said her head falling on Miroku's chest. "But I'm too drunk." she said. "Are you drunk enough to-" he began but was elbowed in the stomach by Sango. "Don't, even finish that sentence." she said. Miroku sighed. Kagome had finished eating and was walking back to her room.
Kagome was beyond drunk at this point. She slipped off her school uniform and looked at herself in the mirror. 'I should call Inuyasha in here.' she thought a giggle escaping her mischevious face. "Inuyasha!" she called out, before her reasonable half could stop her. 'FUck it, you're on your own on this one.' came Kagome's concious. Inuyasha opened the door and stopped, his eyes traveling up Kagome's frame, stopping on her lips, then up to her eyes. "Do you like it?" she aske, twirling a bit of her hair on her finger. Kagome walked over and shut the door then pressed up against the Inuysha. "I told you you're sexy right?" she said. Inuyasha began to wrap his arms around her then stopped. "Kagome, I'm drunk and you're drunk. If you keep on teasing me I won't be able to stop myself." he said. "And what if I don't want you to stop?" she asked, right now her need for him, was overwhelming. Inuyasha seemed to kind of moan and growl at the same time. "I can't take advantage of you Kagome." he said. Then Kagome began to cry as she walked and sat o nthe edge of her bed. Big crybaby sobs. Inuyasha seemed to sweatdrop for a second then went to kneel i nfron of her. 'Bad idea.' he thought as his eye fell on Kagome's chest. 'God, if she wasn't drunk right now.' he thought. "What's wrong?" he asked, stupidly. "You..don't...want me!" she sobbed. Inuyasha sighed. "I do Kagome, but I can't when you're drunk." he said. 'What would the boys say if they saw me now. Refusing sex from a drunk girl.' he thought. She wipped her face then launched at Inuyasha hugging him and knocking him to the floor. 'BAD position.' he thought as he felt Kagome's breast against his chest. Then Kagome giggled. "Well, someone's happy to see me." she smiled as she felt his boner through his pants.
Inuyasha was on his back on the ground and Kagome was on top. Then her bedroom door opened and came a squeal and a 'Go, Inuyasha!'. Kagome turned around. "Oh, hey guys." she said. "It's not what it looks like." Inuyasha said from under Kagome. "I think it is. You, have no shirt on, and Kagome is half naked." Miroku said a perverted smile coming to his face. Then Kagome's eyes brightened. "Sango, do you remember that time we went skinnydipping?" she asked. Then Sango began laughing. "Aww, I missed a chance to see my Sango naked." he said recieving a bonk on the head, he passed out on the floor and Sango grabbed his feet. "Well, I can see you two are busy so we're just going to let you get back to whatever weird sex thing ya'll are gonna do. Use a rubber." Sango said dragging Miroku out of the doorway. Kagome laughed and stood from Inuyasha, she held out her hand and helped him up. Then Kagome walked over to her dresser and pulled out a large t-shirt and slipped it on. She then walked over and slid under the covers on her bed. "Will you stay with me tonight?" she asked. Inuyasha sighed and laid down in the bed beside her. Kagome turned over to face Inuyasha. "You know Inuyasha, I think Kikyo was dumb for cheating on you. I would never hurt you like that." she said and with that she fell asleep. Inuyasha sighed as he looked at the girl bside him. He pushed a pieice of hair from her face, then chuckled. "My beautiful Kagome, what a hell of a hangover you're going to have tomorrow." he thought and with that he fell asleep also.

'Ahh my head!' Kagome thought trying to curl up into a ball but someone's arms was preventing her from doing that. She opened her eyes and looked up at Inuyasha's sleeping face. 'He looks so peaceful.' she thought as she laid a hand to his cheek. 'But what the fuck happened last night?' she thought. Then she remembered the drinking part. She cringed as a pang went through her head. Then dancing on the table. Another pang. Then, trying to seduce Inuyasha. REAL BIG PANG OF PAIN!! "Ahh." Kagome moaned holiding her head as she cuddled closer to Inuyasha. "I knew that hangover was gonna be a doozey." she heard him say. She sat up, wincing as she did and looked down at him. "I'm sorry for what I did and said last night-I guess you could say I wasn't my usual drunk self." Kagome said. Inuyasha nodded. "But you do know, that alchohol is the BEST truth elixir. So everything you said last night, was true." he smirked. Kagoe scoffed then winced as her head banged. "Ohh, this hurts." she said as she slipped back under the covers. She was suprised Inuyasha hadn't left yet and was glad he didn't. She felt what she ate last night before turn over in her stoamch. 'Oh..no.' she thought as she sat up. "Kagome? Are you ok?" Inuyasha asked, sitting up putting a hand to her back. Kaogme felt her stomach lurch and she put her hand over her mouth as she shot out of her room past Miroku and into the bathroom. Then proceeded to puke her lungs out.
"Oh god! I'm NEVER drinking again." Kagome said her head laying on her arm as she waited for more puke to come out of her. Sango gave her a glass of water. "You say that everytime you have a hangover." Sango said. "Yeah, I do." she winced as her head throbbed and her stomach churned. "Uhh, I can't take this anymore!" she yelled, then puked into the toilet, now crying and Sango holding her hair back and patting her back. "I tried to stop you." Sango said. "No you didn't. Yo uwere too busy being all over Miroku." Kagome said wipping mouth. Sango reddend. "Was not!" Sango exclaimed. "How do you know? Can you even remember?" Kagome said. Sango was silent. Then Kagome threw up one last time, took an asprin and went back to bed. 'I can't believe I did that to Inuyasha last night.' she thought to herself with a groan. "What's wrong?" came Inuyasha's voice from the kitchen. Her door was open so everyone in the dorm could hear her if she needed something. "Nothing." she said. 'I'm so embarrassed.' she thought as she held onto a pillow as she was curled in a ball on her side. She then fell asleep. Inuyasha munched on a sandwhich as he walked past Kagome's room. She was sleeping now. He sighed. 'She looks so much like Kikyo...but I know she would never hurt me like that.' he thought as he looked at her, then he continued walking down the hall and into his room.

"Let's have another party!" said Rin who had stayed the night, hungover with the rest of them. Now everyone was awake and feeling better. Kagome shook her head. "Wait until tomorrow or something." she said. She'd missed school today and missing it again tomorow was going to put the teachers on alert. "C'mon Kagome, it can't hurt." Shippo said, siding with Rin on this one. "No way! Plus we have class tomorrow." she said. Earning a moan from Shippo and Rin. "You sound like my mother." Shippo grumbled. Kagome smiled then kissed him on top of the head. "Then think of me as a surrogate mother." she said as she took Rin's and Shippo's plates into the kitchen and began scrubbing them. Shippo watched as she went into the kitchen. "She's a cool girl." Rin said. Shippo nodded. "I'll side with you on that one." he said. Miroku sat in the living room playing Guitar Hero with Inuyasha, and was losing badly. Kagome scrubbed the plates in the kitchen when suddenly she heard a loud BOOM and yelling. She ran out of the kitchen and into the living room. "What are you two doing!" Kagome asked, who was surrounded by a luahging Rin and Shippo and a murderous Sango. "And if you broke my game, we'll have serioud problems." Sango added.
Inuyasha had Miroku in a headlock and Miroku was pulling the hair coming down the side of Inuyasha's face. "Mfmgh fnm, lf." cmae Miroku muffled voice. "Inuyasha let the guy breath." Kagome said. Inuyasha feh'd then let Miroku out of the headlock. "So what happened?" Sango asked running over and making sure her game was ok. She then breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, I kept on teasing Inuyasha about having sex with you and he just attacked me." Miroku said. Kagome corssed her arms. "Well I think you deserve it. So what if me and Inuyasha had sex, not that we did, but if that was so it's not for you to know." she said, then she turned and went back to scrubbign the plates in the kitchen. Rin and SHippo laughing at Miroku's face. "Wait, so you DID have sex?" he yelled, then was knocked in tbe face by a pillow by Sango.
Inuyasha blew Miroku a rasberry. "Ha ha, you got told by Kagome." he said as Miroku knocked him in the back of the head. Kagome chuckled as she heard Inuyasha teasing Miroku. She put the plates in the rack to dry then went to her room to go get dressed. It was now 5:26 and school was out 2 hours ago. Kagome slipped on a pair of skin tight jeans and a black wife beater and flip flops. 'I wish I could go ride my bike.' she thought as she looked over at her helmet on top of her dresser. She walked over to her bedside table and grabbed her pack of cigs and took one then lit it. She exhaled as she heard a bloodcurtling scream. She went outside and Inuyasha was taking a drag from a cig with a VERY satisfied smirk and Miroku was looking at a burn mark on his arm. "I'm not even going to ask." she said to them then went back to her room. She was haveing MAJOR motorcycle withdrawl symptoms. Sango enetered her room. "What's wrong Kags." she asked blunt in hand. "I want to ride my bike." she breathed as she looked at her helmet. "Well, let's sneak them out tonight. It should be easy." she said. Kagoem sat up a sparkle in her eye. "You think we should?" Kagome asked. "Hell yeah, we're all ready at a 'correction facility.'" Sango said making quotation marks in the air. "Let's do it." Kagome squealed loudly. Her door flung open and Miroku and Inuyasha rushed into the room. "Who's having sex with who?" Miroku asked. "Not that you stupid. Not that you're ugly or anything Sango." Kagome said, making Sango laugh. "What we're going to do though, is take our bikes oiut for a little ride. Do you wanna come?" Kagome asked. Miroku and INuyasha looked at eachother then nodded. "Sure, but aren't there guards out there?" Inuyasha asked. "Leave THAT to us." Sango smirked, high fiving Kagome.
