It has been a week since Inuyasha and Kagome had met each other. From the day they met til' next Monday was when they didn't have school and played with each other all that week. But when Monday came things gotta little nerve racking when they went to the bus stop.
Kagome walked down her driveway humming an Italian song her mother was doing in her Opera career. The other day, while Kagome's mother was practicing her Opera, Kagome's mother went to a high note but missed it but Kagome didn't, she nailed it. Kagome smiled at the thought as she walked down to her bus stop. When she looked up there stood Inuyasha with the little book bag on his back and his long silver hair hanging over it.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome said as she walked up to him.
"Huh?" Inuyasha turned around at the sound of his name. "Oh, hey Kagome."
"Hey, I had so much fun this week with you!" Kagome said as she stood next to him. "That was so funny when you threw the tennis ball into the lake while we had a catch." Kagome giggled a bit and Inuyasha just smiled.
'She is so cute when she giggles or laughs.' Inuyasha thought to himself as he smiled at her. 'I hope one day I'll ask her to be my girlfriend.'
"Inuyasha…" Kagome whispered softly as her smile faded away. Inuyasha just look at her with no smile on either.
"I don't see how people could hate you. Just cause you're a half-breed, you're such a nice person. No one should judge you by what you look like or your skin tone, right?" Kagome said looking up at him. Inuyasha didn't know what to say.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha wrapped his arm around her since her eyes started to get glassy. "People like you and me get beat up because of what you just said. They're prejudiced and they don't like us mixed together because they think white and black people don't mix very well, or humans and demons don't mix very well either because us demons are suppose to hate humans. My older half brother, Sesshomaru, is a full demon and he despises me as well. My mother was the only one who understood me. My father passed on the day of my birth so I had no one to protect me or teach me how to defend myself. My mother…is only human. She can't teach me all that stuff you know…" Inuyasha said as his grip tightened around her body. "Then I met you…life change since I found someone like me and suffered the same things as I did and still do. So the important thing is ,Kagome, is we have each other and only we understand each other. Our mothers and fathers don't understand us. They're whole white, human, demon, and black. They're not half of anything. That's one of the reasons why I'm so glad I met you." Inuyasha said as he looked down at her. She was crying. He could smell it.
'And the fact that were the opposite gender makes this even so much better.' Inuyasha thought to himself. Inuyasha pulled her in for a friendly hug. That's when things got bad.
"HEY LOOK GUYS! IT'S TRAIL MIX!" A voice shouted at they walked up to the hugging couple. Kagome's eyes shot wide and she let go of Inuyasha hiding behind him as Inuyasha turned around to face the group that called them.
"Hey, trail mix, where's our money?" The boy said as he walked up to him. Inuyasha starred at this guy. He was a demon, a wolf demon; his hair was in a ponytail and had ice blue eyes. Behind him where three other companions of his group, a small kid with white frizzy hair and light purple eyes. A boy with long brown wavy hair and dark chocolate eyes. Another boy, with long black hair in a braid and dark blue eyes.
"And who just might you be?" Inuyasha asked as he looked at them with no fear.
"DON'T YOU DARE ASK US ANY QUESTIONS HALF BREED!" Koga shouted as he starred down at Inuyasha. Inuyasha didn't even flinch. "I can smell the human in you."
"Humph. Like I care if you can smell it or not now we don't got lunch money on us so just leave us alone!" Inuyasha shouted at Koga with nothing but flames in his eyes.
"How dare you speak to Koga like that!" Hakudoshi said as he looked up to Inuyasha.
"You'll pay for talking back to Koga!" Onigomo shouted as he stepped up next to Koga.
"Humph. Don't worry about it guys…those who speak to me like that will get punished." Koga calmly said as he walked up to Inuyasha and punched him in the face.
"Agh!" Inuyasha fell to the ground holding his cheek, which now held a bruise.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome kneeled down next to him and held him up as he tried to sit up.
"Next time it'll be much worst!" Koga shouted as he turned around to go to his real bus stop.
"You got off easy this time half breed!" Bankotsu shouted as he followed the rest off his group. Inuyasha just growled and stood up.
"Inuyasha is your cheek ok?" Kagome asked at as she removed his hand from his cheek. She gasped as she saw a blue and purple mark on his soft cheek. Kagome lightly touched his cheek with her thumb.
"I'm fine, Kagome, but who were those guys?" Inuyasha said as he lightly pushed her hand down so she knew he was fine.
"They're second graders named Bankotsu, Onigomo, Hakudoshi, and Koga. They take my lunch money almost every day when I go to school. Sometimes I lie to them and say I don't have money, that way I can eat but instead of giving them my lunch money, I get beaten." Kagome said with sadness in her voice.
"Oh, Kagome, I promise you'll get to eat everyday as long as I'm around." Inuyasha said smiling at Kagome.
"Really? OH THANK YOU INUYASHA!" Kagome shouted with glee as she hugged him tightly. Inuyasha blushed at Kagome's reaction then smiled even more.
"Your welcome, Kagome." Inuyasha said just as the school bus appeared in front of them.
"Come on, Inuyasha, let's get a seat together on the bus. I always sit alone in the back because no one likes me." Kagome said as she got on and headed to the back of the bus. Inuyasha followed her to the back and as he went to the back he spotted Koga and the other three do-dos in the middle part of the bus. Inuyasha snarled at Koga as Koga gave him a bad look.
"SNARL AT ME AGAIN, MUTT, AND I'LL PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE!" Koga yelled at him as Koga's friends gave him bad looks. Bankotsu pushed Inuyasha and he fell onto a boy who pushed him back up into the isle.
"Don't touch me half-breed!" The boy yelled at Inuyasha and Inuyasha snarled at him also and went to the back and sat next to Kagome.
"Thank goodness this year is almost over." Kagome said as she starred out the window. It was May 24 (A/N: Just to let you know this is 1975) and it was a beautiful day out to. The flowers still bloomed on the trees and some fell off as the wind blew and it made the streets look beautiful like a wedding was about to happen. Inuyasha starred down at her. Kagome leaned her head on his shoulder and Inuyasha blushed madly. Than the bus stopped at a school called Kyoto Elementary School. Kagome and Inuyasha were the last ones to get off and they walked together up to the school together. On there way to their classroom. Kagome banged into someone and she dropped her lunch.
"Are you ok, Kagome?" Inuyasha asked helping her up.
"Yes, I'm fine Inuyasha…" Kagome said and then looked up to see whom she banged into. It was Onigomo. Onigomo picked Kagome up by her throat and Kagome struggled to break free.
"LOOK UP BEFORE YOU GO AND TRY TO TRIP ME AGAIN, TRAIL MIX!" Onigomo shouted and he threw his fist at her but never reached her.
"IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!" Inuyasha shouted and slashed Onigomo in the stomach making Onigomo let go of her. Kagome fell to the ground coughing and Inuyasha knelt down to pick her up.
"Kagome are you ok!" Inuyasha asked in panic as he looked at her.
"Yes." Kagome looked to were Onigomo was and he was walking away.
"I'll get you next time, half-breed!" Onigomo shouted and ran off to his class. Kagome looked at Inuyasha and then wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Oh, Inuyasha, thank you!" Kagome said as she snuggled her cheek into his. Inuyasha turned into a cherry top. His whole face fire engine red. Kagome then let go of him and Inuyasha put her down.
'My hero…' Kagome thought as they walked down the hallway together. Kagome grabbed Inuyasha's hand and they walked down in silence for a little bit, walking very slowly to their classroom.
"Hey, Inuyasha?" Kagome said finally breaking the long and uncomfortable silence.
"We'll always be best friends forever…won't we Inuyasha?" Kagome thought as she started up at him. Inuyasha looked down at her.
'Best friends? She considers me her best friend?' Inuyasha thought and then smiled down at her "Yeah…forever…and always…"
Kagome gasped and smiled up at him with joy in her chocolate orbs and walked hand in hand in silence the rest of the way to class.
A/N: I thought that was a cuter chapter! I think this should turn out to be a great story! Anyway review!
