My True Tragedy
Chapter 1: Naive
Kagome's POV
Hi, my name is Kagome. Kagome Higurashi. And I live in Tokyo, Japan. I go to Otaku High School. I'm basically your average teen. I go to school, I clean the house, and I keep my crush a secret. Only my best friend, Sango, knows who I like.
So it was a normal day at school. Nothing worth talking about.
Except…
So, while I was putting my books into my locker, he passed by me, clearly sticking something on my back. He was usually rude and very cross. Today he was just annoying.
He was also the biggest jerk I ever met. "I never do anything to you! Why are you so rude?" I yelled, taking the paper off my back.
I'm a slut, sex me.
I did a low scream and slammed my locker shut.
On my way to math, my least favorite subject, I ran into Inuyasha and Kikyo. "Hey, Kagome" Inuyasha said. I looked at Kikyo.
She really didn't like me at all. She was jealous. And we both knew why. Inuyasha had a thing for me. I mean, I liked Inuyasha and he was cute and all, but after seeing every girl in school swoon over him, my crush on him went away long ago. Plus, he knew he was hot stuff. A little conceited.
"Hey you guys" I replied. Inuyasha was expecting more of a "Hi, Inuyasha" I wasn't going to even think about giving him the time of day. Honestly, I didn't mind Kikyo. The only thing about her that bothered me was that she thought I was scared of her.
I told her constantly that I only thought of Inuyasha as a friend, but she never put her guard down.
After smiling goodbye, I walked into class. He was there again.
"Everyone, please take your seats!" Mr. Sintachi said. I always thought he was a pedophile. So, I stayed away from him and his sick mind as much as possible.
I decided to sit next to Rin. We weren't what you'd call "best friends" but I knew 3things about her.
She loved music, she hated apples, and she had a thing for Kohaku and Sesshomaru. I didn't know why it kind of made me upset when I thought about Rin liking Sesshomaru.
That rude, serious, annoying, son of a- "Ok, class, we're are going to be studying how the human body works! Please pick your partners! Quickly!" Of course he'd pick something like that.
Rin, surprisingly, picked Kohaku over Sesshomaru. Miroku picked Sango, rest in hell, Miroku. Shippo picked Kanna…I knew he liked her. Hakudoshi picked Kagura, probably to get her to do his homework at home. I was about to pick Koga, but someone's hefty voice stopped me.
"Looks like you're my partner, Kagome" he said. Well, I wouldn't have been if he hadn't stopped me.
So, Ayame got Koga.
"I'd rather be partners with Kikyo" I muttered under my breath. He slightly glared at me.
I opened my book, sitting down, trying to look for the page we were supposed to study. He sat down next to me, also turning page after page.
I looked at him from the corner of my eye. I always looked at him in a bad way. But now that I was, Kami forbid, "checking him out" I realized that he looked pretty hot. I mentally slapped myself.
"I just wanna get through school with nothing in my way. Don't let this ruin it!" I thought to myself.
"What page are we on?" he asked. I looked into his hard but soft, crimson-gold eyes. He looked serious. "Um…246" I told him, looking down into my book.
I think he knew I was a little beauty-struck.
"Hey, you have something on your shirt" he said, pointing to my shirt. I looked down and he flicked my nose.
I usually never fell for that…but he had me at the moment. I glared at him while he chuckled at me. His laugh was making it hard to glare at him.
I started to read my book, ignoring Sesshomaru.
About an hour had passed when class was finally over. As soon as the bell rang, I dashed out of class so fast some people didn't see me leave.
After saying goodbye to their "partners", Sango, Ayame, and Rin walked over to me. "Hey, why'd you fly out so fast?" Rin asked.
"Cause I'm mad" I told her, starting to walk with them.
"Why is Kagome mad?" Sango asked in a taunting way.
"Sesshomaru, that's why!" I said, walking faster for no apparent reason.
Ayame grabbed both of my arms and stopped me. "Kagome! Calm down…now what did he do?" I huffed. "It's not what he does, its that he does it constantly! When I try to be nice he's rude and ignores me! When I'm pissed and pushed to my limit, he annoys me!" I said, breathing heavily.
"Kagome, just ignore him and he'll ignore you!" Sango told me.
I sighed. "Your right…I shouldn't take it too seriously either…"
Just then, Hojo came walking by. "Hey, you girls wanna get some smoothies with the guys?" he asked. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha weren't there, but every other guy was.
"Sure!" all the girls said, walking off with their dream guys. "You comin, Kagome?" Hojo asked. I shook my head. "No thanks, I need to catch up on homework" I said.
He waved goodbye and left with the group. I slipped my backpack over my shoulder and walked out of the front doors of hell. I completely forgot that I needed to clean the entire house.
My mother wasn't very appreciative of me, but I still tried to help her out.
I was a few blocks away when I heard something behind me. I looked to see Inuyasha. Then, I turned my head forward again. "Ok",I thought to myself, "just tell him off nicely."
I turned around again and smiled. "Inuyasha, what are you doing here?" His back was turned to me. "Inuyasha?" I peeped. "Get away…" he whispered. I stepped forward. "What?" He yelled this time. "Get away!"
I backed away.
We were good friends when we were a little bit younger. That's why I used to like him.
But he had warned me about this.
*flashback*
"Inuyasha, why are you crying?" I asked. He looked at me with sad eyes.
I then saw his dog all bloody and torn up.
It was the white husky puppy he had gotten for Christmas. It was only 2 months old.
He covered his face.
"I killed it" he said.
I sat next to him, patting his back. "Why?"
"I can't tell you…you'll despise me, Kagome" he said, not looking at me.
"Of course I won't, Inuyasha! I could never hate you" I told him.
He looked at me. "You won't be scared of me if I tell you?" he asked.
I shook my head. "Not at all"
He wiped his face and looked at the lifeless animal on the floor.
"You know I'm half-demon…so sometimes, if I get mad enough, I'll turn into a full demon, and I'll lose control…I'll turn into a monster and I'll kill any living thing in my way" he told me.
I actually wasn't scared at all.
I pitied him.
"Its not your fault" I said.
"I know but, I'm scared" he said.
"Of what?"
"Of hurting you"
I immediately hugged him. He didn't want to be the way he was. He didn't like it one bit.
"Why are you hugging me? Why aren't you running away?"
I smiled. "Because, Inuyasha…I love you"
We were little, not having any idea of what love was.
*end of flashback*
I dropped my backpack and started running for my life. It was too late though. I turned around and he pounced on me. I covered my face with my arms.
I couldn't help but scream when he dug his nails into my chest.
It happened so fast…too fast. Not slow enough.
I suddenly took all the strength I had and kneed him in the gut. It gave me enough time to get up and run. I knew I wouldn't make it out alive…but I had to try.
How was there no one on the street? "HELP!" I screamed. Nothing.
The important things started to hit me.
Who would help my inapriciative mother? Not Sota.
Who would be Rin, Sango, and Ayame's go-to girl? Not each other…
I asked my self a billion answers with no good answers.
Even at a moment like this, I thought about who I really liked.
Anyone who knew me knew who I deeply cared for. I was just covering it up with hate.
