The Dream. The Car. The Race by Fae_Eyes1229

Ch1. The Begginning

Summary: They were both on the roof top taking pictures of the sky, and field behind her house. They had been friends for close to 10 years now. This was their favorite thing to do together. Sesshoumaru and Kagome had not done this for awhile now, or at least not since he started high school and started acting like he was better than her. Now she was a sophomore and he a senior. She missed the talks they used to have, just hanging out on her roof, like they were now. That's why she did not really care about what made him choose to be with her at this very moment. All she cared about was that they were hanging out again.

Chapter One:

The Beginning.

They were both on the roof top taking pictures of the sky, and field behind her house. They had been friends for close to 10 years now. This was their favorite thing to do together. Sesshoumaru and Kagome had not done this for awhile now, or at least not since he started high school and started acting like he was better than her. Now she was a sophomore and he a senior. She missed the talks they used to have, just hanging out on her roof, like they were now. That's why she did not really care about what made him choose to be with her at this very moment. All she cared about was that they were hanging out again.

Then all of sudden he left her side, and went looking threw his bag. He returned only after retrieving a single purple feather. 'Now why ever would he have needed that?' She mused to herself as he came back, and sat next to her. He took the feather and started to draw circles and stars wherever he could find exposed skin, on her legs below her shorts, on her bare arms, and between her collar bones. It felt great! It felt like nothing that she had ever experienced before! It was exotic, it was sensual, it was... It was calming. Then he claimed her lips in a passionate kiss that left her speechless...

Ring... Ring... Ring, shrilled the phone. She awoke in a cold sweat to that infuriating sound. "Hello?" She answered in a very groggy.

Silence.

"Hello?" She asked her angelic voice stained with annoyance.

More silence.

"If you don't answer me I am hanging up!" She stated her voice growing louder with frustration and exasperation. She was already pissed off for having that dream... Again! She did not need someone playing a prank on her! Especially not this early in the morning!

"Hello," said a familiar, cold and velvety voice.

'Oh my God, it's him!' She thought. 'Why is he calling me?' Then her mind started wandering to the dream. "No!" She screamed out loud to herself, momentarily forgetting she was on the phone.

"You do not need to scream. I can hear you perfectly." He said calmly with a bit of irritation in his voice. Then the sound of clicking was heard.

"If you would like to make a call, please, hang up and dial again. If you feel you have reached this message in error please hang up and dial your operator... If you would like to make a call please hang up and dial again. If you feel you have reached this message in error please hang up and dial your operator..."

The message kept relaying as Kagome sat there too stunned to hang up the phone. 'I wonder why he called,' she thought as she finally hung up and glanced over at the clock.

"Oh my God, it is 7:35! Dear God I am so late!" With that said she raced around her room trying to find some clean clothes. She settled for her normal style, tight black low-riders with a tight black t-shirt that read, "Bite Me" in bold, red writing. 'Oh Sango is going to KILL me for missing our morning ritual of star bucks!'

"Kagome, you are goanna be late if you don't get down here!" Her mother screamed from somewhere in the kitchen "now, young lady!"

"I'm coming, gees!" She retorted back. 'Gah! Does she just ever lay-off! Well at least I am a sophomore now. That means only two more years of school after this, and I am outta here!' She thought sulkily to herself. She grabbed her shoulder bag, shoved all her homework and books in, and raced down the stairs.

When she got in to the kitchen her mom was sitting in a chair by the table. She had a wadded up 5 in one hand and a lighter in the other one, with her jeans draped across her lap. "Tell me the truth." Her mom stated plainly, as if it were obvious what she was talking about.

"About what?!" Kagome snapped.

"You know what I am talking about! How could you! I just don't get this! Do you hate me so much, that I have forced you to do drugs?" Her mother said as her voice grew quieter with each word, and her eyes were sprinkled with tears.

"What in the seven hells are you talking about!" Kagome did all she could to not yell, though her frustration was obvious.

"Don't give me that, Kagome Morgan Higurashi! You are caught red handed! You have drug money and a lighter! The proof is right here in my hands!" Her mother yelled, trying to blink back the damn of tears begging to be released.

"Oh my God, what the hell are you on! I do not do drugs! That's not really my thing! As for your so called evidence... That would be my lunch money," she said as she snatched her fiver, "and that would be to light my many candles and incense!" And with that she hastily took the lighter from her mother and turned towards the door.

"Please! Don't turn your back on me! I can help you with this!" Her mother yelled falling to her knees and hugging her self as her tears began to cascade down her cheeks.

With out even turning around Kagome stated as calmly as she could, "What the hell am I goanna buy with five bucks? Buy a sample?" And with that she pushed the door open and walked out. 'God... She's on her medication again... This should prove interesting when I get home... Not.' She thought as she started to run towards her school.

When she was about half way there, she saw a figure stepping out of a Hot Pink Nissan 240SX. Only one person she knew had a car like that. Kikyo, 'Great! Just Fucking Great! That's all I need right now!' She yelled grudgingly in her mind. 'Wow. The fates must be against me today.'

While the rest of her group had accepted Kikyo over two years ago, Kagome still harvested resentment towards her from when InuYasha had chosen Kikyo over her.

*Flash Back*

"Kagome, I have something I want to talk to you about." InuYasha said, as he used his hands to wring the hem of his shirt in nervousness.

"Yes InuYasha?" Kagome asked with admiration and love shining in her eyes.

"Well, you know, Kikyo and I have been hanging out allot. And I really like her. I thought I should let you to be the first to know. Since, well, you know... since you had a crush on me last year. You know you're my best friend. And I love you like a sister. But..." He trailed off, not knowing how to finish that statement.

"Oh, InuYasha that's great! You and Kikyo make such an adorable couple. Besides, I've gotten over that crush along time ago!" Feigning happiness, Kagome began to giggle, before adding "besides it was just puppy love..." Containing a snicker behind her hand she finished with, "Quite literally."

Laughing a bit InuYasha leans in and gives Kagome a peck on the cheek. "Thanks for understanding Kagome."

*End Flash Back*

That's when she noticed, that the figure, was walking towards her. The closer it got, the more Kagome realized she was right in believing it was Kikyo. 'Great. She's coming to me. What does she want now?'

"Finally! I have been waiting for you! I believe you would have made me late for school if you had been any slower! Oh, no wait. We are late!" Kikyo scolded her as she got closer. 'What the hell is it with people thinking I know what the hell they're talking about? What the hell is she talking about?' Kagome mused to herself.

"What do you want?" She stated with as much venom as she could muster.

"Calm your pretty little head. I am just here to warn you, and escort you to school. Naraku is back to his old tricks. You would do well to watch yourself. It's not safe for you to walk to school on your own anymore. I have talked InuYasha and the rest. We are all going to take turns in driving you to school." She stated as if she were stating the weather.

"W-What? Are... are you serious?" Kagome asked her voice barely above a whisper.

"Yes. I would not say so other wise." Kikyo said as her dark eyes danced with annoyance in the morning light.

'God, I can not stand the way she acts like my every move is a nuisance!' Kagome thought to herself. Then the thought hit her, 'Naraku is back to his old tricks!' Not caring who heard Kagome whimpered out loud in fear.

This did not go unnoticed by Kikyo, nor did Kagome's biting of her own lip. Her expression softened. "It will be okay Kagome. We are all here for you. Would you like to talk about it?"

"No. Thanks... But I would rather forget completely. If you don't mind can we just get to school? Sango is already going to kill me for missing our morning ritual; she'll defiantly kill me then bring me back to life just to kill me again, if I miss all of the fearful first class. You know how she hates Ear-licker." Kagome stated, trying her best to cheer up before she got to school.

Kikyo decided to leave it at that as she led the way to her car. Putting it into 1st she sped off, down the road rapidly shifting her gears up. Kagome was transfixed. She, herself was a good driver, but she could definitely learn a thing or two from Kikyo. Some one honking their horn roused Kagome from her thoughts. 'Who the hell is making that irritating noise?' She wondered as she looked up, to see they were stopped at a light.

"Damn. That boy of yours is really annoying!" Kikyo said as she reached across Kagome and pointed to the car next to them.

'Grrrr, its Koga!' Thought Kagome, as she rolled her window down, "what is with all the annoying Honking!" She yelled across to him.

"Well, my lovely women, I would like to make a bet with you and Kikyo. 10 bucks says I can beat her off the light." He hollered over to them.

Kagome turned to smile at Kikyo, who had her own little smirk. "This should be interesting." Kikyo mused as she gripped the steering wheel tighter.

"Make it 20 bucks each and you're on Koga-kun! Oh and I am not your woman. I do not belong to you!" Kagome shouted back, as she made sure her seat belt was secure, and stared intently at the light.

Koga had an automatic Dodge Neon SXT with tuner hookups. While he relied on NOS to do his work, yes, even for an off the light such as this. Kikyo relied solely on her upgrades and driving skills. Though she did have a bit of Venom, she rarely used it just to race off the light.

Green!

Kikyo threw her car into first, second, third, she kept going, even though it was obvious she beat him off the light, she would race him the rest of the way. Koga was close behind, though sadly for him, he was just not close enough to pass.

"Eeek! That was so cool, Kikyo!" Kagome squealed, and then added, "Ugh, my truck still doesn't have the modifications to beat him. And I still have not got the hang of using the automatic stick like a manual stick yet."

"Ha! Don't worry you'll get it soon enough! That was cool! You'd figure with as much as his parents spent on that car, he'd do them justice and beat an old car off the light!" Kikyo said threw her giggles.

"I know! I still can't believe he had his parents pay for everything! Man, if I had parents that had that kind of money..." She wondered, as Kikyo parked next to a very familiar 2005 Dodge Charger. "Heh, speak of the a devil! Another boy, who has money paying parents," she yelled out loud as she hopped out of the 240SX.

"What do you mean a boy with money paying parents!" InuYasha yelled, as he slammed his door closed and walked over to her.

"I mean that only a boy would let his parents pay for his tune ups to be done! A man would pay for it and do it himself!" Kagome retorted, as if it were a clearly known fact.

"Where the Hell Have you been, Kagome Morgan Higurashi!" Sango yelled from across the parking lot.

"Oh Shit." Kagome said under her breath, to no one in particular.

"Ha! Looks like you're in some deep shit now, ya' wench!" InuYasha teased as he stepped out of Sango's way.

"Don't call Kagome a wench, you baka!" Kikyo said as she hit InuYasha upside the head. He just looked between the two confused.

"Oh, no! Don't tell me ya'll are friends now! Aww! That's not fair, ya'll are hard enough to handle separate, impossible to handle if you gang up!" He whined.

"Oi! Let them work that out Kagome. You have some explaining to do! Like, Where were you when we were supposed to be doing our morning star bucks ritual!" Sango interrogated, as she lead Kagome to the building.

"I know! I am so sorry! I did not mean to be late! It's just my clock has a personal vendetta against me! I swear I set it last night! But it didn't wake me up! On top of that I had that weird dream again, and I had a strange phone call once I woke up. So, I was already running late by the time I got down stairs, when my mother decided to intervene, and make me more late!" She said, as she gasped for breath.

"You had that dream again! Wait. A strange phone call? Your mom intervened? What? Argh! I am so confused! Start at the beginning and go all the way threw. Slowly! We'll take the long way to class. I am not in rush to get to the frightful first period." Sango said, as she walked up to her locker and did her combination.

Kagome followed suit and went to her locker about 4 feet away, and began her telling of her mournfully dreadful morning.

"Well, I had that dream again, but it was interrupted by the phone ringing. When I picked up and said hello, no one answered. So I asked again, and still no one answered! So I said, as calmly as I could, that I was going to hang up if some one did not answer. You know how I hate prank calls! What was I supposed to say?" she questioned at the look her friend was giving her. "Well," she continued, "That's when someone said hello. It... It was Sesshomaru... I don't know why he was calling. I sort of forgot I was on the phone, so when my mind started wondering I shouted 'No' out loud. That kind of annoyed him..."

"No Shit Sherlock! He hears better than we do, and you screamed in his ear! I can't believe you!" Sango said truthfully, while dramatically hitting her forehead with the palm of her hand. "Okay, okay go on!"

"Okay, so, as I was saying," Kagome started back up glaring daggers at her friend, "he was annoyed, and said, 'You don't need to yell, I can hear you perfectly' then he hung up! Yea! He Hung up! I just sat on my bed for God knows how long with the phone still to my ear when I realized how late it was. Then my mom decided to pull that you hate me so you're doing drugs, shit... Again! I swear it's like she's trying to find something wrong with me! Not that she'd have to look very far." Kagome grumbled out the last part just as they made it to their class room. They were about 20 minutes late already because Sango had decided to wait for Kagome outside the school. Like hell she was going to be in that class with out Kagome.

"Oh get over it! There is nothing wrong with you and you know it. So lets just get threw this hell, then threw the other six, and we can hang after school. Kay?" Sango asked as she opened the door for them, both.

In the halls after first period

"Hey, Kagome, do you think you could help me put in my new 'Sparco' racing seats this weekend? Please? You never fuck it up like Miroku. Please? I will treat you to movie afterwards!" Sango begged, while walking beside her friend, on their way to their lockers.

"Eh. Sure. Why not? And I do Lurve Movies!" Kagome answered in a childish voice.

"Heh. If that's how you're goanna act, maybe Miroku would be the better person to help me." She teased. "Speaking of the Hentai, where is..." Just then a loud 'Thwack' noise echoed the halls fallowed by a very pissed off Sango, yelling 'Hentai,' at the top of her lungs.

Miroku sat upon the floor with a red hand print adorning his handsome boyish features. 'When will he learn?' Kagome thought as she stepped back when he turned his smirking face towards her.

"I swear, I need to tie a bell to your neck! Then you won't be able to sneak up on me!" Sango continued on her barricade of accusations, and yelling. Little did she know a kinky little wolf demon had snuck up behind her.

"Wow. Bells. Kinky. Hmm I wonder... You know, you could always..." Aayme started, but was cut short when Sango's hand flew over her mouth.

"Please Aayme! He is Hentai-ish enough! We do not need to give him any more ideas!"

'Wow. I wonder what her and Koga do, that Aayme would think of bells as kinky...' No sooner did his thoughts begin to wonder than Sango hit him over the head again. "Owe! Who ever touched you this time, I swear it was not me!" He stated as he rubbed the back of his head.

"I saw that perverted smirk on your face so I knew what you were thinking. Really Miroku, if you are going to go into your family business of being a Monk you really should get your mind out of the gutter." Sango growled as she slammed her locker closed and walked off.

Kagome began to fallow suit when Miroku grabbed her elbow, "Kagome, here, this is for you." He started looking around and handing her a note, "please be careful. Give me a return note during our third. Oh, and I think you and Sango should have an off campus lunch today."

"But only the,"

"Just go." He stated walking past her

During Second Period

Kagome had an assigned seat next to Sango, so she showed her the note as soon as she got in.

"Well, aren't you going to open it?" Sango asked her friend as she fumbled with the already worn paper note.

"I don't know... I guess I should, huh?" She asked, not really expecting an answer as she began to unfold it. The note was written in black over an old home work sheet that someone obviously did not do. With shaky hands Kagome held it up to read aloud quietly to Sango.

It read;

"You are to meet me in the basement during lunch. Take the seniors stair case to get there. If you do not show up, you will be punished."

Was all it read? No name or signature? But, Kagome knew who it was from his hand writing.

'Oh god! What does he want! Why would he want me to go down there! No wonder Miroku told me to go out to lunch with Sango! Oh I have to talk her into it. Maybe she'll want to. Even though only seniors are aloud an off campus lunch, she does like to break the rules now and then.' Kagome was so wrapped up in her scheming of what she would say to get Sango off campus for lunch, that she did not notice Sango trying to get her attention. That is until Sango slammed her fist on Kagome's desk shaking her from any thoughts.

"Kagome," Sango started, "no matter what you say, we are going to an off campus lunch. With him wanting to see you here for lunch, we can not risk being close to the school. And, before you say anything, I know you have a reputation of miss goodie to up hold, so look at it this way. You owe me star bucks. Today was your day to pay for the morning ritual and you did not show up. So this is a way to make up for it."

Obviously neither thought the other would want to go to an off campus, so when a surprised Kagome, stumbled over the words, "Yeah, okay." That seemed to surprise Sango. So now we have two surprised and dazed teenage girls sitting there. Yes. Just sitting there both with their own thoughts of, 'well. That was easy.'

When the bell rang, signaling the end of their second class, they seemed to be awakened from their stupor.

"Okay, so I guess we tell Miroku that we are going to an off campus lunch, and then after the third hell, we go." Kagome, said as she tried to find words to what she was thinking.

"Yeah, sounds good to me." Sango said as she started to cup her hands around her mouth and yelled, "Miroku! Get Over here!"

Some of the newer demons in the hall winced and hissed to Sango at the level of her volume, but most were used to it.

"I knew you could not stay away from me. Why my little vixen, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Miroku asked as he came up behind Sango and Kagome, scaring them shitless.

"Damn it Miroku! I am really starting to consider the bell idea!" Sango growled as she turned to look him in the eye.

"My, my Sango dearest, are you becoming as kinky as our little Aayme? I do believe I like this side of you," he started before stopping as soon as he caught the look in Sango's eye. Gulp "Well Lady Sango. What was it that you needed of me?" He asked quickly getting down to business.

"Kagome and I are going to an off campus lunch. So, please, keep anyone off us for awhile." Sango pleaded, her eyes quickly changed from frightening look to an innocent one in a matter of seconds. 'Damn she is too good at that.' Miroku thought to himself as he nodded his head to the girls. "Just be careful you two."

The two girls nodded their heads in agreement as they turned to walk to their next class. 'Ugh... English II... Joy. I swear I know more than that lady about literature and she is the teacher!' That was what both of their thoughts were revolved around.
