Chapter 2: You

"Okay, so x equals four," Kagome said. "Do you get it now?"

Kouga took in all what she said as she explained the mathematical problem. They were in a private library which requires a pass to get in and Kagome has one. Then he nodded. "Yeah. Now I do," he turned to her and flashed her a smile. "Thanks."

Kagome returned the smile. "No problem." And she started to gather up her books.

Kouga bit his lips. "Kagome?"

Kagome tuned to him. "Yes?"

"Would you . . . like to go to the movies with me?" he asked.

Kagome sighed and gave him a soft look. "We talked about this already."

Kouga sighed and nodded.

It's been a few months now and it's really close to graduation which it's about two weeks. (Remember they are seniors). And Kouga will always ask Kagome out for a date. And she refuses.

"Will you ever give me a chance?" he asked.

Kagome sighed, trying to get rid of frustration for him always asking her.

"If I wasn't in love with Inuyasha, maybe I would have?"

'Yeah right. Kouga's too much of himself. Like I don't see him flirting with so many girls. Stupid playboy,' she told her herself. 'I'm only tutoring him cause it looks good on my college application.'

Kouga sighed. "So you really love him?"

Kagome nodded and started packing her stuff.

"I thought after living in such a small town for a while someone would have told you that," she said.

"I was told. I just thought they were just pulling my leg or somethin," he said as he leaned back into the chair and stretched his arms.

Kagome shook her head. "No, it's true."

Kouga leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table and his fists resting against his cheeks.

"So?"

Kagome raised a brow. "Uh huh?"

Kouga flashed her a grin. "What's so special about him?" he asked curiously.

Kagome could have sworn she heard some jealousy and some anger in his voice, but she shrugged it off.

She smiled as she answered, "He's just . . . Inuyasha, I guess."

Kouga raised a brow. "I know he's Inuyasha, but what about him?"

"I guess it's that when he's around people he's very polite and respectful. He's smart and does what he's told, but . . . " she trailed off.

Kouga studied her daze expression. "But what?"

Kagome's smile grew wider. "When he's around me, it's totally different."

"How so?"

Kagome shrugged. "I guess it's because I've known him for such a long time. And I know what's he's thinking or what he's going to say. I. . .just know him. When he's around me, he isn't just the polite, smart Inuyasha he is, he's the Inuyasha that I only know."

"Sooooooooooo . . . what you're saying is he shows his true colors to you?" Kouga asked.

Kagome nodded. "Something like that. It's hard to explain. To the world he shows kindness and with me he shows everything. He opens up to me."

Kouga nodded. "Ah, so are in love?"

Kagome nodded. "Very much."

"One more question," he said.

"Yeah?"

"How long have you known him?"

Kagome thought for a second and tapped her index finger on her chin.

"It'll be thirteen years next month," she said.

"THIRTEEN YEARS!!!"

Kagome nodded and stood up and grabbed her book back.

"I should get going," she said.

Kouga nodded and stood up also gathering his books. "See ya."

"See ya," and she walked away.

However she didn't see those two angry, jealous eyes staring at her as she left.


He sat on the swing, swaying back and forth.

'She's late,' he thought.

Inuyasha looked up at the sky as he thought about of Kagome.

'Graduation is in two weeks. I hope she likes what I'll be giving her,' he thought.

"Hey there, stranger," he heard.

He lowered his feet to the ground which help him stop swinging. He turned around to see his girlfriend smiling at him.

"Hey yourself," he greeted as she wrapped her arms around him and he returned the embrace.

Kagome stood on her tip toes and kissed him on the tip of his nose. She giggled when he scrunched up his face. For some of reason it tickles him when she does that.

Inuyasha broke away from the embrace and took one of her delicate hands with one of his firm ones.

"Come on. It's getting late and your mom is probably wondering where you are," he said.

Kagome nodded as the two of them walked to her house.

After a few kisses her and there, they finally reached to the destined placed.

Inuyasha walked her all the way to the door as a gentle man would and gave her a kiss on the cheek as she opened the door.

As soon as he started walking away a small hand stopped him.

He turned to find Kagome smirking at him.

"You call that a good night kiss, Takahashi?" she teased.

Inuyasha smirked as he wrapped his strong arms around her. Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck. The two of them teasing each other by closing the gap slowly. Their nose brushing gently and their lips. . . .

"KAGOME!"

Almost meeting.

Inuyasha sighed and placed a soft peck on Kagome's lips.

Kagome sighed softly in disappointment. "Night, Inu."

Inuyasha pulled away from the embrace gently. "Sweet dreams."

"KAGOME! GET IN HERE! THAT NO-GOOD-BROKE-ASS BASTARD BETTER BE GONE!"

Kagome gasped, after hearing what her mother just yelled out. She looked at her boyfriend in the eyes and only saw emotionless, golden eyes staring back at her.

"Inu-"

"Meet me at the lake tonight, Kags. Bye," he said as he walked away.

Kagome felt a tear run down her cheek. She wiped it off angrily and walked inside.

She walked to the kitchen where her mother was setting the table.

Mrs. Higurashi looked up at her daughter with a smile.

"Oh! You're home, sweety. How was tutoring?" she asked nicely.

Kagome's breathing grew a little faster and she stared at her mother with disbelieve. She narrowed her eyes softly and shook her head slowly.

"You did that on purpose," she whispered.

Mrs. Higurashi shrugged. "He was disrespecting me by kissing you like some hormonal, sex-driven teen."

Kagome eyes widen. "You even spy on us! And we didn't even kiss since you interrupted us. Plus, when you're around he only kisses my cheek with pecs. He never disrespected you like that! And he isn't some hormonal, sex-driven teen. You know that! And how dare you insult him like that! He never did anything to you! I told you to leave us alone!"

Mrs. Higurashi stared at her with no emotion what so ever.

"Dinner is ready, sweetheart," she said monotonously.

Kagome closed her eyes for a moment and opened them again.

"I'm not hungry," and she left to her room.


It was probably around two o'clock at night.

But she didn't care. She's done this too many times. It was a habit for her.

She sighed in relief as she finally found Inuyasha sitting on the grass near the lake.

The lake is where they like to meet at night because it was so beautiful. It wasn't so far away from the two teenagers houses either. It was pretty close, like a twenty minute walk.

Kagome walked silently behind him and sat next to him. She frowned a little as he didn't greet. He was looking out at the horizon. He looks so out there. His eyes so focused. She noticed how the moonlight made his silver strands and golden hues glow. How she loves his hair. It's long and shiny and when she run her fingers through it, it's so soft.

"She's right," she heard and she jumped a little.

"What?" she asked as she regain her sense of reality.

Inuyasha turned to face her with a sad expression. "Your mom's right. I am a no-good-broke-ass bastard."

Kagome put on a scowl. "No, you're not! And don't ever say that. She's wrong, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha sighed. "Kagome. Think about it. I live in a cabin house with my mom. I don't know who my father is, nor that I want to know who he is. And I can barely make it to pay my tuition at school. I might not even go to college."

"You will go to college. We both are. That's why you work so hard in school and get really good grades. You're in the student council and debate team. You're practically a nerd. And I don't care if you live in a cabin with your mom, who I adore and love very much. Besides, living in a cabin seems cool," she said.

Inuyasha studied her for a while. "I don't deserve you, Kags. You should be with a guy who has more to give you," he said softly.

Kagome placed a hand on his cheek. "Do you love me?"

Inuyasha smiled lightly. "Yeah, I do. I love you a lot, Kags."

Now it was Kagome's turned to smile lightly, too. "That's all I need from you. I just want you. Get that in your thick skull. I love you and that's all I want."

"But what if their's a guy with a lot more money and wants to marry you or somethin?" he asked.

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Then I'll have to decline because that guy wouldn't be the same as you. He wouldn't know how to read me like you do. He wouldn't love me like you do. And I wouldn't love any other man like I love you."

Inuyasha placed a hand on her hand that still rested on his cheek. "Do you really mean that, Kagome?"

Kagome nodded. "Yes, I do. I love you so much, Inuyasha. Sometimes I wish you would just remember that when you think other wise."

And with that, he grabbed her hand tighter and pulled her to a passionate kiss. Kagome immediately wrapped her arms around his neck bringing him close to her. And as a result he was on top of her. She moaned as he ran his hot tongue across her upper lip. She opened her mouth letting him explore. She then started massaging her tongue against his. She shivered when she felt his thumbs rubbing against her hips as he held her close to him.

Inuyasha pulled away and stared kissing her with hot kisses down her jaw line leading to her neck. He gently sucked on the sensitive spot she has caused her to moan softly. He gently placed more kisses moving upward back to her lips and kiss her with more passion.

Kagome loved it when he kisses her like this. He's a really good kisser. Just one kiss on her neck from him could set her whole body on fire. She ran her finger through his hair and rubbed his scalp gently. She gently pulled away from his lips and carefully bit his bottom lips.

"Kagome . . . " he breathed out. "You know what happens when you do that."

Kagome trailed kisses down his neck. "I know," she breathed hotly on his skin.

Inuyasha placed his fingers on her chin and titled her head and kissed her again. He groaned when she wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him closer.

He pulled away again, "We can't."

Kagome sighed. "I know."

He looked at her with a compassionate expression. "Maybe you should go home, now."

Kagome nodded. "You, too. We have school tomorrow."

Inuyasha nodded and slowly got of her and help her get up on her feet.

"I'll see you tomorrow," she said.

"Okay," he said. "I'll wait here until you're gone."

Kagome nodded and turned to walk away. She walked for a little and turned around to see Inuyasha still staring back at her with a delicate smile on his gorgeous face.

Kagome bit her lips and then smiled. She ran to him.

Inuyasha chuckled as he hugged her and she kissed him chastely on the lips.

Kagome pulled away with a smile.

"Feel better now?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome nodded. "Better. Bye, Inuyasha."

"Bye, Kagome."
