Chapter2: InuYasha
Kagome woke the next morning with the thoughts of InuYasha running through her mind. I do not understand how I can like someone so much after just meeting them. He is beautiful and strange at the same time. But I guess there is Koga on the other hand who probably only likes me because he doesn't know me. As she thought about InuYasha and Koga more, Kagome got showered and dressed for her second day of school, determined to make it through her second day without getting scared of InuYasha. As Kagome neared the school the first sight she saw was her two friends Sango and Miroku wrapped up in each other. "Excuse me," she said sarcastically. "I was looking for a couple of friends, but instead of finding them I found you two. Will you be my new best friends?" Miroku and Sango started laughing, but none other than the second Kagome was used to being in her own skin again InuYasha walked up. "Hi Kagome," he said. "Hey InuYasha, how are you?" Trying to keep herself in check, Kagome did not look him straight in the eye. "I am alright but I was hoping I could have a word with you before first class?" Kagome did not know what to do or say, so out of instinct she just nodded her head and followed InuYasha to a secluded spot away from their friends.
"Um…. I saw you yesterday with Koga," he started sounding slightly angry. "Yeah," Kagome sad. "I almost tripped and he caught me before I could smack down." "What did he want?" InuYasha asked trying to sound as calm as possible. "Well he introduced himself and then asked me the strangest question ever." Automatically InuYasha got very angry. He hated Koga with a passion and knew that the only reason Koga is showing any interest in Kagome is because he knows InuYasha likes her.

"Sango" InuYasha said, "I really think I like Kagome but I do not think she would ever go for someone like me." "Why do you say that?" Sango asked "she told me today that you were one of the most interesting people that she has ever met. Not just because she knows that you are a half demon, but because you have a different personality that anybody else. Just talk to her"
"So mutt, you like the new girl?" said a arrogant voice behind them. "well I wont stand by and watch your filthy paws go and take a girl who is so obviously perfect for me. I will take Kagome from you before you ever realize what happened. And at least unlike dogs, we wolves mate for life. Mark my words, KAGOME WILL BE MINE."
"Kagome, I do not think you should spend too much time with that filthy wolf," InuYasha said flatly. "Why is that?" Kagome said, but it was obvious that he was jealous. "Koga is bad news," InuYasha defended himself. "He is a womanizer and a cheat. He uses the 'wolves mate for life' to get a girl and then when they really like him he drops them." Kagome did not like the sound of this. "InuYasha is that the real reason why you do not want me hanging around him? Because he seemed like a pretty decent person to me." "What!" InuYasha fumed, "I AM TRYING TO PROTECT YOU!!! BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T WANT MY HELP!" With that InuYasha stormed off in the opposite direction to think to himself.
I do not understand. I told her what he is, and yet she still acts like she likes him. I mean, what does he have that I don't? He's full demon? That cant be it, he's a bastard wolf who cant do anything without running with his tail tucked between his legs. If she likes full demons, then she should just be friends with my brother or something, he's a full demon. THAT'S IT! I will ask Sesshomaru for help.
With that InuYasha ran off towards his brothers house to get some brotherly advice.
Later at school during first class, InuYasha sat in front of Kagome as he did the day before, but unlike the other day he did not ignore her. Kagome looked up from her paper long enough to take more notes on what Lady Kaede had on the screen, but when she did, instead of seeing InuYasha sleeping, she looked up to see a pair of beautiful amber eyes staring very intently at her. "InuYasha" she whispered, "would you mind moving your head so that I can see the screen?" "Yeah" he said "I do mind. I wanted to apologize for this morning. I probably sounded like some jealous lunatic. Friends?" "Sure" Kagome said. "But as friends I should warn you that Kaede is shooting you with daggers from her eyes right now." InuYasha laughed, but as he turned around he saw that Kagome was right. "Mr. Taisho, is there something you would like to share with the class?" Lady Kaede asked InuYasha. "No ma'am. I was just asking Kagome a question about the assignment from last night." With that Kaede nodded and continued on with the lesson.
Later that afternoon as Kagome was opening her locker, a note fell out and in scruffy handwriting she read a poem
Roses are red Violets are blue.
There is no other girl more beautiful than you
I have watched from afar
And now I am here to say
I love you.
-anonymous
Kagome had no clue who wrote the note, and she wanted to find out who it was. She did not know anybody at the school really, and although she hoped that the note was from InuYasha, she figured it was probably from Koga.
"Sango," she asked. "Is Koga really a womanizing jerk?"
"Why?" her new friend asked, "did you read the trash on the bathroom walls or something?"
"No"
"Well, he is a bit of a player. But as far as I know he isn't really a jerk" Sango said. "I really do not know him. We have second class together, but he sits with member of his pack at the other side of the class." The girls gossiped more before the next class, and agreed that they would meet later after school at McDonalds to study and talk more about Kagome's note.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome hollered as she saw her friend walking into their sixth class of the day. "What?" he asked. "I wanted to know if you recognized the writing on this note I got today?" Kagome was still excited over having a secret admirer and she knew that InuYasha knew everybody and maybe new their handwriting too. "No" he said shortly. "Why would anybody ever write you a love note anyway? You're not that beautiful." That comment hurt Kagome a lot, and as she started to walk away she said "well I wasn't asking you if you wrote it now was I? I just wanted to know if you knew the writing." That bothered InuYasha, especially when he saw that Kagome was starting to cry. "wait wait wait, Kagome. Don't cry, I cant stand people crying. Please, I'm sorry." "well you should have thought about that before you called me ugly!" Kagome said, and with a sniff she walked into class and sat on the opposite side of the room away from InuYasha.
InuYasha, feeling bad about what he did to Kagome, decided to write her another note. Maybe this time she wont go and shove it in his nose.
Looking into your eyes
I see the man that I want to be.
Surrounded by your radiance
I realize that you're the only one for me.
Kagome found the new note in her locker after school, only to be excited more over what it said. Maybe it was that boy in her science class. What was his name? Hojo? Yeah, that's it. He seemed like a nice enough guy, she thought to herself. Although he is a little dense, and a little too health conscious. But that would be nice if he were the one leaving me those notes. Kagome decided she would ask Sango when she saw her later at the restaurant.
"No Kagome, I am sorry I do not recognize the handwriting," Sango said when they were eating. "Maybe it is that boy that is always trying to talk to you during science. Hojo right? He seems to like you enough. Maybe you should ask him." "NO NO NO!!!" Kagome said, "I cant ask him that. If its not him then that would be humiliating." The girls laughed at what at that prospect. "You know who I want the letters to be from though," Kagome said giggling. "Who?" Sango asked, "wait let me guess. INUYASHA!!" Kagome smiled sheepishly and nodded her head. At that Sango teased a bit by laughing, but when she sobered up she said, "He seems like he likes you. But he is so hard to read. I could see for you? But I mean, it will be hard to ask without giving anything away"
"Please Sango"
"It's gonna cost you"
"ANYTHING"
giggle "okay, I am going over to his house later I will ask him then"
As Kagome hugged Sango she practically screeched "THANK YOU!"
