A/N: Sorry my last chapter was really short. I had these guests and had to entertain them so my mum wouldn't give me a minute on the laptop. Finally at night I got time to write but I fell asleep.

Well... here's the second chapter and it's definitely longer!

Chapter 2: Knowing Inuyasha isn't a joke

Inuyasha was sitting there, right in front of me. I was nervous. Apparently, I was supposed to serve him, so I screwed up all my courage and reached him to take the order. He looked up from the menu and grinned. 'I know ya, don't I?' I nodded silently, 'From the mall...' I whispered. He grinned even wider, 'Sorry, Kikyo was like that, she sticks to me, I don't like it.' I shook my head, 'It's all right, but don't you like her?' He looked surprised but somehow said, 'Nope, I HATE her, don't tell her that though.' Now it was my turn to be astonished but I got myself together and said, 'Your order...?' He gave me his order silently. I reached the kitchen only to be crowded around by Sango, Ayame and Rin asking me about talking to a star. Pointedly, I ignored all of them and only looked up when Sango whispered 'He's staring at you' I blushed but kept on working. Sango smirked and said 'Well, I'm not interested in him, so he's all yours!' I blushed a deeper red and as I took the plate to him. He grinned that boyish grin showing all his teeth and winked at me, and then he said 'Your name?' I was shocked but said 'Kagome' in a small voice. He smiled and said in a cheeky voice, 'You should be speaking a bit louder you know..' and then he said, 'Let's be friends Gome' I frowned at him for using that kind of nickname, but nodded smiling, 'Ok, I'm all for it.' He got up and nodded at me, 'I'll see you around then' and gave me thumbs up. I smiled back and waved. It was a beginning of a new friendship...

The next day, I had to deal with constant questions concerning Inuyasha by a very excited Sango and a harassed Miroku. According to Sango, I should make friends with Inuyasha. But Miroku was against it saying that being with a star might lead to awkward interviews, rumours and a very angry Kikyo. Even though I knew that Miroku was right, I agreed with Sango. I was curious. He seemed different from the rest and I wanted to get to know him. While Sango and Miroku argued about my future with Inuyasha, I stared outside the window sipping my coffee. The next thing happened too suddenly to explain. I thought I saw a flash of white and red flash past me at the speed of lightening. I blinked, and it had vanished and I was staring once again at the busy roads outside. I got rid of that thought, thinking I had imagined it. I left Sango and Miroku alone, still arguing as neither of them was ready to give up, picked up my bag and left the shop. Behind me, I heard someone yelling my name. I turned around to look at Inuyasha on a skateboard coming toward me. He stopped and grinned at me again. My first impression of Inuyasha was that he grinned too carelessly. 'You skateboard?' I asked dryly. His cheeks were red from the wind and he was panting. 'Sure' he replied casually, picked up his skateboard and started walking. We walked silently until all I could do was break the silence. 'Where do you wanna go?' I asked him trying to make small talk. He shrugged and said, 'I'm going home.' I nodded and we kept on walking. The silence was awkward. I glanced at him again. His messy hair was let loose over his shoulders. He was wearing a white coat and torn jeans (again) However, I couldn't deny that it suited him. His eyes had mixed feelings in them. He looked...miserable?! Or was it frustration? I couldn't tell. As far as I was concerned, he was a mystery to me. Suddenly he stopped. 'I go this way' he said pointing to the right. I nodded and waved. He didn't smile. I was surprised. Suddenly my attention fell on his eyes. They were pure golden and looked as though they had fire in them. I was shocked. The way I remembered his eyes, they were violet, and unusual color, but still...violet. Definitely not golden. I smelt danger at once and nodded and walked away without looking back once. It was a sudden shock to find that color change in his eyes.



The next day, I walked silently to "Anything Sushi." I hadn't slept at all for some reason and didn't feel like work. Suddenly, I heard Miroku calling my name. I looked up to see he was waving a magazine in the air. I ran up to him. Before I could talk, he began reading out aloud in a hoarse voice, 'Rock star Inuyasha Takahashi was seen with another woman that was proved not to be Kikyo. Does Kikyo know about her boyfriend seeing another girl? Will sparks fly between the lead singer and the guitar player? We cannot say who the woman seen with Takahashi is, but the sooner we find out, the better!' Miroku looked up at me with pleading eyes. 'Stop being friends with Inuyasha, please!' My mouth was slightly open. To think that someone had caught me talking to Inuyasha and had actually taken pictures!! This was not good.

Sango, as I had suspected, made a big deal out of the whole Inuyasha business. At first she was excited saying that, indirectly, I was mentioned in a magazine. But after a few glares from Miroku, she came to the conclusion that I shouldn't be hanging with Inuyasha. Miroku sat down in the corner and nodded every time Sango said something that made sense. I privately agreed with both of them. I wanted neither wanted to be famous or someone to be gossiped about. 'I'll talk to Inuyasha,' I said slowly. This was going to be hard.

After shift, coincidently, I met up with Inuyasha. He acted like nothing had happened, so I began the subject. 'Look, did you read the magazine?' I asked him casually. 'The weekly one? Yeah, you were in it weren't you?' he replied grinning. 'That's the problem, I don't want to be in magazines, so...my friends were saying...' but he cut me off. 'That you should not befriend me anymore' he growled his smile all gone. 'I agree with them, I don't want to be gossiped about' I said choosing my words carefully. 'Well, I don't care if you're friends with me or not. I mean, my life doesn't revolve around you. Besides, I have a girlfriend' he sounded angry, but kept his face expressionless. I felt a wave of anger as I looked up at the star, 'Oh! So you think that bitch of a Kikyo is better than me?' He growled again. 'Don't compare yourself with Kikyo, wench. She's rich and beautiful and you're..' But I already knew what he was going to say so I ended his sentence for him, 'Poor and ugly' I whispered. His expression suddenly changed to realization of what he was going to say. 'I didn't mean it like that! It's a misunderstanding!' But I knew him better than that, 'Misunderstanding, is it?' I asked in a trembling voice. 'I thought you were different from other celebrities but I guess you're not. You're just like the rest of them. Stuck-up, snobby and don't care about anything that don't have the word money on them.' I looked down as I said all this but now I faced him. 'We're SO done being friends Inuyasha, I have no time for you! Unlike you, I have to earn money to lead a life, so I have no time for snobby people like you! Get out from my life and never come back again!' With this, the tears that I had stopped until now came rushing out. All I could do was turn and run away. As for Inuyasha he just stood there and watched me run his mouth open as if he were going to say something. But I didn't care, It was over...

A/N: Sorry if my English is bad... I suck at grammar. Also, thanks to those ppl who gave me advice, hope this chapter is better than the first!
