Author's note: This is actually the first fanfic I wrote. I wrote this one way before College Love. I decided not to post it on until recently, when I decided to rewrite it. It may take awhile to update but I think I'm going to be a lot happier with the detail in this chapter and those to be rewritten. So enjoy the story and please review!!
Test of Their Love (Rewritten Version)
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of the Inuyasha character's that honor belongs to Rumiko Takahashi.
Chapter 1
Beep, Beep, Beep. Kagome Higurashi's alarm clock sounded off relentlessly. She sluggishly moved her left arm to the night stand, feeling her way until she found what she was looking for, the snooze button. Pressing it, she therefore ended the noise that disrupted her sleep.
"Kagome get up! You don't want to be late for school!" Mrs. Higurashi hollered. She was already making Kagome's and Sota's lunches.
"Ugh, five more minutes." Kagome moaned, still half asleep.
Mrs. Higurashi walked upstairs and opened her daughter's bedroom door. Shook her head slightly and placed her hand on Kagome's shoulder, shaking her gently. "Wake up Kagome."
"I'm awake." mumbled Kagome.
"You are not awake until you're out of this bed." her mother said firmly.
"Alright." Kagome sat up and pushed the blankets off herself. She quickly got dressed into her usual school uniform.
Walking downstairs to retrieve her backpack and lunch, Inuyasha was suddenly in front of her.
"Inuyasha!" exclaimed Kagome. She almost said sit by mistake.
"What is taking you so long Kagome?" Inuyasha complained, almost loud enough for Mrs. Higurashi to hear.
"Oh Kagome, I almost forgot your grandfather and I have an errand to run and will be home late. So there are leftovers in the fridge for dinner. And please make sure you watch Sota." instructed her mother.
"Ok mom. Inuyasha I already told you I have a test today. I can't afford to miss it. And you heard my mom I have to babysit Sota tonight." exasperated, Kagome put on her shoes.
Inuyasha followed her out the door and was walking with her till Kagome said, "Inuyasha you can't follow me to school."
"Why not?" he asked. Looking slightly taken aback. Does she not want to be with me anymore?
"Because I already explained to you last time that people in my era aren't used to seeing demons. And uh, your ears kinda make you stand out." she said sheepishly. Ashamed to be embarrassed about Inuyasha being seen walking around in her era. "So stay here. I'll be back sooner than you think and we'll go back to the feudal era tomorrow." Turning away from Inuyasha, Kagome ran to her school, she just knew she was going to be late for class.
Slowing her pace as she neared her destination, Kagome heard the wheels of a squeaky bicycle.
"Kagome! Are you feeling better? Your grandfather said that you had a bad case of cat scratch fever." Hojo was carrying a small package, no doubt intended for Kagome.
I wonder if grandfather just flips through a medical book and the first illness that appears is the one he tells everyone I have. Kagome sighs mentally.
"Would you like to go to the movies with me on Saturday?" asked Hojo.
Inuyasha suddenly landed behind Hojo, with one hand on Tetsusaiga. "Stay away from Kagome!" Inuyasha let a growl escape his throat.
"Uh? Who are you?" asked a very confused Hojo.
Kagome was turning redder by the minute as Inuyasha stated his name and something more surprising. "Kagome's mine got it? So, stay the hell away from her!"
Stuttering Kagome grabbed Hojo by the arm and hurriedly explained Inuyasha must be some crazy delinquent. "We're going to be late for school." And under her breath she said, "Sit!"
"Did you say something Kagome?" asked Hojo, still perplexed.
"Oh, what me? No, not at all." Why me? The jealously is kind of flattering but it's also getting old. I'm his am I? Till Kikyo comes in the picture. Stop, don't think about that now. You are going to school and I don't need 20 questions from my friends. I need to focus on school.
Finally Kagome was sitting in class, listening to the teacher drone on about history and it's cause and effect on current events. The bell rang and Kagome was released for lunch. She already spotted Inuyasha on one of the roofs of the nearby building. She snuck off to the roof of her school. Inuyasha quickly spotted her and jumped to her location.
"Why did you 'sit' me earlier? I was trying to protect you!" Inuyasha was oblivious to any wrong doing, as usual.
"Inuyasha I told you not to follow me." Kagome definitely looked angry.
Inuyasha held his head down, looking exactly the way a dog does when it's master disciplines it.
But that look quickly turned into one of defiance, as he began to start a real argument.
"Why were you flirting with that guy? Don't deny it, I say how you acted towards him!"
Flabbergasted Kagome could feel her blood pressure rising and the heat that started in her neck, traveled up to her ears. Being silent, Kagome's hands were balled up into fists and a few muscles twitched uncontrollably.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha was becoming afraid.
"Inuyasha." Kagome said in very eerie voice. It sounded sweet but was laced with venom. "SIT BOY!"
Inuyasha went straight through the roof, down four stories into the basement. Kagome stormed off and went to her next class. Still fuming when she sat down, Kagome barely heard the teacher's lecture.
I can't believe Inuyasha. He can go off and flirt with Kikyo! And yet he accuses me and gets mad at me for, well not flirting! Who does he think he is? If he follows me home...
"Miss Higurashi? Will you please answer the question?" The teacher looked a little more than irritated about being ignored.
"Uh, um of course." The rest of Kagome's classes ended without further outbursts or distractions, grateful Kagome walked home in silence.
Kagome unlocked the front door to her house and turned the lights on, brightening the hallway. She heard rustling noise upstairs. Sounds like Inuyasha's in my room.
Sota just ran into the house, out of breath. "Sis!" he exclaimed.
"What's wrong Sota?" Kagome asked, worried something serious was wrong.
"Oh, nothing except, this girl was chasing me and well just tell her I'm not here!" Sota ran up the stairs and was his in room in five seconds flat. The door slamming confirmed he ran and hid.
"Ok." was all a very perplexed Kagome could say.
Inuyasha had heard the noise Sota made and came into the living room to see what the ruckus was about. "Kagome?" he asked very cautiously, incase she was still angry with him. After all Kagome could hold a grudge.
"Inuyasha, don't worry I'm not angry anymore." Somehow she had managed to forgive him, in truth she forgot what she was angry with him about in the first place.
Silence. Kagome was expecting Inuyasha to argue with her. To say something about how he didn't do anything wrong in the first place.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha suddenly looked embarrassed about something, his cheeks were slightly flushed red.
"What is it Inuyasha?" she didn't know if she really wanted to know. What is with him? He's acting all weird. And his he blushing? What if he's thinking something perverted? OMG, I bet he is! Kagome's cheek turned as red as a tomato and she put her hands on her cheeks, feeling the heat coming from her face only made her that more embarrassed. Her cheeks turned brighter red.
I'm blushing! Please don't look at me! Please don't look at me! I'm still blushing! Why won't it stop?!
"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked again.
Kagome looked at him to see that his appearance changed, his hair was solid black and his dog ears that always sit atop his head were nowhere to be seen. His eyes were no longer the brilliant golden color but a brown or blackish hue. Kagome looked out her window and discovered why. The moon wasn't in the sky, well it was but it was completely black, meaning a new moon. The new moon when Inuyasha always turns human. Kagome looked back at Inuyasha, only to discover he was inches from her face. She let a small gasp escape her lips. Inuyasha placed his hand under her chin, holding it up and making Kagome look into his eyes. As he closed the distance between them and pressed his lips firmly against Kagome's, she found she couldn't breath. That she couldn't move. Her heart seemed to stop and she felt dizzy. What was Inuyasha doing to her?
