Once Upon a Time...

Kagome grins and returns the hug, "Cool. I'm gonna get stuff ready and make there's food in the house."

Kouga walks in the classroom ans sees Kagome, "Hey." He winks.

Kagome looks up, "Oh hey Kouga."

Hana smiled at Kagome before looking up and rolling her eyes.

Kouga frowns, he hated when she was around. "So Kagome, we should hang out sometime." He smirks.

"Kouga you have a girlfriend and I'm not interested." Kagome says giving him a small smile. "I don't think Ayame-sempai would be happy."

Kouga sighs, "You're so mean to me Kagome."

The teacher looked up. "Mister Kouga. Would you tell us why you're still standing?"

Kouga hurries and sits flashing Kagome smiles.

The lesson went on until lunchtime came around.

Kouga walks out of class, "Shit finally. I get to eat." Ayame meets up with him wrapping her arms around him, "Hey." Kouga looks down at her, "Hey Iris." Ayame rolls her eyes, "You're the only that calls me that." Kouga grins, "Don't worry it'll catch on soon." He takes her hand and starts walking towards the lunchroom.

---

Kikyou gathers her things and puts them into her locker. She heads off to the cafeteria and goes to sit at the table she normally sits at.

Kagome comes in and sits in the seat across from Kikyou. "Did you manage to print of those papers?" Kikyou nods, "I managed to and I turned them in on time." Kagome smiles, "Good."

Kikyou smirks, "How's your head?"

Kagome turned red, "Don't bring that up. You shouldn't have walked in the bathroom like that scaring me."

"Walked in the bathroom?" Jae says grinning widely. "You were looking at your sister's boobs? Kik I never thought you'd do something lik-...Ow!" Jae says jumping a little. "What the hell?"

Kikyou frowns, "You need to stop." Jae rubs his arm, "Well damn you didn't have to go using your powers on me."

----

Naraku waits at the normal spot for his crew. Bankotsu walks up, "Hey what's up with your sister? She's kinda hot."

Naraku gives him a look, "Go near her bank and I'll castrate you and feed you your own shit." Bankotsu smiles, "Aww getting all big brother protector on me." Naraku glares at Bankotsu.

Inuyasha met up with Kouga. "Did you snag our table, smelly?"

Shinki walked over, holding his girlfriend's hand with one of his and holding both their lunch trays with his other. "We put our stuff on it already."

She smiled. "Yeah. So we're just gonna go sit."

---

Hana walked into the room with Sango. "Maaaan. I really hope they have something good to eat today."

Sango nodded. "Yeah. I'm starving."

Hana brightened. "HI KAGS!" She waved enthusiastically at her.

---

Kenji ignored them and silently ate. Akira rolled her eyes when she heard Hana yelling from across the lunchroom. "Can you believe I live with her?"

Haru commented, "You do look alike."

Akira glared.

Ayame went ahead and sat down. Kouga looks to Inuyasha, "Yeah dog shit now quit askin stupid questions."

--

Kagome looks up and smiles, "Hey!" She waves her over. "Come over here!"

Kikyou gives Kagome a look, "Did you really have to make all that commotion?" Kagome grins, "Duh."

--

Natsume goes and sits next to Naraku, "Move over butt head." Naraku frowns, "Why are you here? Don't you have friends?"

"I do but I'd much rather bother you." Natsume grins.

Shinki put all his stuff down and grinned at Ayame, coming up from behind her and starting to play with her ponytails teasingly. "G'afternoon, Miss Red."

The other girl ignored it. It was a daily routine and she knew he wouldn't do anything.

---

Hana glomped Kagome and grinned. "Commotion is fun!"

Sango shook her head. "It's a good thing I can level you two out..."

---

Akira asked dryly, "What's with the extra?"

"Ah! Shinki!" Ayame says slapping his hands away laughing. "And hello to you too."

Miroku smirks walking up pulling a chair out to sit down, "Well hello Ranka." He smiles charmingly. "How are this fine afternoon?"

----

Kagome smiles, "Yeah it is. You need to loosen up Kik." Kikyou shakes her head and open up her text book. Kagome sticks her tongue out at her, "You suck."

Jae looks at Hana and Sango, "Hey you two." He grins.

-----

Natsume looks at Akira, "I'm his sister. And I'm guessing you're the bitch of the group. Right?"

Shinki smiled at her. "Hello. You look as pretty today as always."

Ranka turned to Miroku and gave him a sweet smile. "Hey. I'm alright."

Inuyasha sat down after he'd gotten his food.

---

Sesshoumaru walked in just then and walked over to the table to have a seat. Hana smiled. "Hey."

Sango waved and had a seat.

---

Akira rolled her eyes. Haru told her, "Ignore this one."

"Aww thanks." Ayame smiles. "Your hair is perfection as usual."

Miroku grins and takes her hand, "You're a very beautiful girl, I was wondering if you'd ddo me the honor of bearing my children."

Kouga shakes his head at Miroku as he sat his and Ayame's food down.

---

"Hi Sesshoumaru!" Kagome smiles. Kikyou just sat engrossed in her text book.

Jae scowls when Sesshoumaru came.

Shinki smirked. "Thanks. Nice to know that someone appreciates the work put into good hair."

Ranka shook her head at Miroku. "No... You already know the answer to that."

---

Hana sat down next down to Kagome, between her and Sango, as Sesshoumaru had a seat beside Kikyou and pulled out his own books to work on.

"I see you stopping at every reflection just to check on it." Ayame grins. "I couldn't help but notice."

Miroku winks, "One day I might get you to change your mind."

Kouga looks to Inuyasha, "You gonna say something or just sit there with your mouth open catching fleas."

---

"Kikyou you should really go to that dance with me." Jae says starting to eat his food. "We'd look great together unlike you and someone else."

Kikyou doesn't look up, "I told you no the first time." Jae frown, "Well why not?" She gives him a deadpanned look. Jae frowns, "Well what does he care? He doesn't claim you."

Kagome rolls her eyes, "Oh my God.."

Shinki tweaked her nose. "Hey, you of all people should know that perfection takes dedication and patience."

"Sure," she smiled.

Inuyasha glared at him. "What? I'm eating, bitch."

---

Hana rolled her eyes. Sango commented, "You should really try shutting up every so often, Jae."

Ayame smiles, "I know that of course."

Kouga turns to Shinki and Ayame, "Dude could you like stop flirting with her for 5 seconds?" Ayame lays her head on Kouga's should, "Oh calm down."

---

"What? What did I say?" Jae says looking around. "See you all always pick on me. I just try to look out for my best friend."

Kagome nudges Jae, "Yeah well you're putting your foot in your mouth. So hush." Jae shuts up and crosses his arms. "You all suck sometimes."

Shinki looked at Kouga with humor. "What? I can't talk to my friends?" He had a seat next to Ranka and took her hand. "Besides, I wouldn't do anything to offend my girl." He kissed her fingers.

She smiled.

Inuyasha teased, "Is Kouga getting jealous over some little thing?"

---

Hana asked, "So are we asking Sango to join us thursday?"

"What's Thursday?"

Sesshoumaru didn't care. He always tuned everyone out during lunch.

"Oh shut up Shinki." Kouga scowls. Ayame leans over and gives Kouga a kiss, "Shush, Mr. Macho. Besides you flirt with Kagome all the time." Kouga frowns, "Well that's different." Ayame shakes her head, "Well yeah. Shinki and I are just friends stupid. You actually like Kagome." Kouga sighs, "Whatever, besides she's all Inuyasha anyways.....she does have a nice ass though." Ayame elbows Kouga in the ribs, "Shut up."

"That she does." Miroku grins. "I've grabbed it on many occasions."

----

Kagome smiles, "Hana and I are gonna have a little study group at my house on Thursday for a test. Wanna come?"

Jae frowns, "I wanna come."

Inuyasha blinked. "Huh?"

Shinki shook his head. "Dense."

---

Hana smiled at Jae. "Sorry. Girls-only."

Sango nodded. "Sure. I wouldn't mind going."

Kouga sighs, "Idiot. Oh Iris, mind if I come over today?" Ayame smiles, "I don't mind at all."

----

Jae pouts, "Fine I'll just come to visit Kikyou then." Kikyou gives him a look, "I didn't invite you over." Jae's face fell, "Well damn."

Kagome snickers.

Inuyasha sulked at being singled out. Shinki ate with his arm interwoven with Ranka's. He smiled at her and made chatter.

---

Sango told him, "You should've seen that one coming."

Hana giggled slightly and looked down as she started to eat some lunch she'd pulled out of her bag.

Ayame ate her lunch talking to Kouga as he listened.

Miroku looks to Inuyasha, "Well my friend it seems we've been singled out yet again."

---

Jae looks away, "Whatever."

Kagome grins, "So what are you guys planning for winter break this year? Anyone going out of town."

Jae thinks, "Well I'm going back home to Korea." Kikyou still looking at her text book, "Good." Jae nearly falls over. "Well sheesh."

Inuyasha took a large bite out of his lunch. "Aren't you interested in that Sango chick?"

---

Hana sighed. "I go from working part-time to working full-time." She grumbled, "Why'd my parents decide to have so many damn kids?"

Sango asked, "So you're not doing anything?"

"Not anything big," she said. "You?"

"I'm going with my family to go skiing."

"LUCKY!"

"Yes I am, but I still haven't claimed my dear Sango as mine yet." Miroku grins.

----

"We don't know where we're going." Kagome says, "But apparently Touga-sama and my dad were in the talks of going on a vacation together."

Jae laughs, "That'll be awkward. Cause Inu-" Kagome kicks Jae hard under the table, "Uh I mean man that sounds fun." Jae revises wincing in pain.
