Falling For You
Summary: Original Story/AU; Kagome has been burned by her past, but can a good friend help her heal her wounded heart or will he just end up adding to the pain?
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and some of the characters will be OOC. It will mainly be Kagome's side of things since it's based off of what happened to me and I don't live life through my friends so I don't know what they did when I wasn't there to see it.

Last Time:
Dear Diary,
I can't believe that I'm still writing like you understand what I'm writing, but I guess I'm naïve about that. That's not what I wanted to write about in here anyways.
I've kind of had a busy day today. He showed up today out of nowhere. I can't believe he acts like nothing ever happened, but I'm doing the same thing. It's not that I'm really trying to forget what happened, it's just that I don't want to think about it and let it bring me down. I guess it already has since it's hard for me to trust anyone I don't know, but at least the others don't know that. As long as I'm able to keep my happy face up, then what does it matter what I really feel.
Also, Inuyasha asked me to help him get back together with Sango. For some reason, the thought bothers me, but at the same time it doesn't. I want them both to be happy and that's what matters. Who cares about my own feelings? I don't even know what I'm saying. What feelings? It's not as if I like Inuyasha more than just a friend. After that happened, I promised not to like anyone like that ever again.
Though, even through everything. It's still a weird feeling that I'm getting. I don't really understand what it is that I'm feeling, but I don't like it. Its kind of scaring me. I wish I could describe what I'm feeling, but it's just this… kind of nervousness that I'm getting every time I'm with Inuyasha or see him. I've never felt like that before. What could it mean?
-Kagome
Kagome put her diary down and closed it. She laid back on her bed watching the ceiling for a while trying to think things out before giving up and turning on her side to rest. It had been a long day and she was ready for it to end.
This Time:
Kagome yawned as she got up out of bed. She stretched, "I'm SO glad that it's Saturday!" Kagome said knowing that she got to sleep in. She looked around the room seeing that it was pretty bright. She looked at the clock for a few moments, "11:30…? Sango's going to kill me for sleeping in so late…" Kagome muttered as she went to the closet and changed into something comfortable. She put on black shorts and a small blue t-shirt with a dark blue camo flower on it.
She tied her hair back and walked out the door yawning. She looked around, "It's too quiet around here for a Saturday…" Kagome muttered as she slowly walked down the hall. She frowned knowing that something was up.
"Where were you last night?!" Sango yelled jumping out from her room and pointing her finger at Kagome.
Kagome screamed from the sudden appearance before she glared at Sango, "Don't do that Sango!" Kagome put a hand over her heart as she clamed herself down. She took a final deep breath before continuing. "I told you guys, I just went over to Inuyasha's house for a while since we both didn't have anything to do." Kagome said as she started walking down the stairs to get something to eat.
Sango frowned, "You didn't tell Inuyasha where I was, did you?" she asked as she followed Kagome slowly.
Kagome shook her head, "Don't worry, I told Inuyasha that you were over at a friend's studying and doing a project. I didn't say that you were with Miroku."
Sango sighed in relief, "Thanks, Kagome. You saved me. You didn't really lie either. I mean, we did work on the project a little bit." Sango blushed slightly thinking back.
Kagome laughed slightly, "Yeah, all the times that he was concisions you worked on it. I bet that's the most concussions that he's gotten all year in one night."
Sango walked into the kitchen with Kagome, "So… why were you out so late. I mean, what were you two doing?" Sango asked with her eyebrow raised.
Kagome shook her head, "We just talked about random things and some things that are going on. After that, I had dinner with them and umm we talked a little more before he took me home. I think that's all that happened." Kagome said as she grabbed cereal and poured herself a bowl.
"You ate over…?" Sango asked with her eyes wide.
Kagome looked at Sango as she grabbed the milk from the refrigerator. "Yeah? So what?" she asked confused
Sango shook her head and turned her back to Kagome, "I never ate over at Inuyasha's house." She said crossing her arms, "You've never dated the guy and you met his family and ate over yet the one he loves never gets to see them or stay over so late as dinner. Something is seriously wrong with that."
Kagome frowned, 'Oops…' Kagome sighed slightly, "Sango, you know it doesn't mean anything! He told me last night that he wants you back. He doesn't want me or like me in anyway. I'm not even sure he likes me as a friend. He probably just had me over there because I'm the connection still left between you two. I guess he thinks if he can get to me he'll get to you. So don't act so jealous."
Sango glared at Kagome, "I'm NOT jealous! I don't care what he does! I just think that he should've acted more like a friend to you is all. I don't want him using my best friend to get to me." She said as she sat down at the table with Kagome, "It's almost lunch and you're eating cereal?" she asked changing the subject.
"It's good to eat anytime, like… pizza!" Kagome said laughing slightly at the look on Sango's face.
Sango shook her head, "You're an idiot sometimes." She muttered as she grabbed a piece of a cookie to nibble on while she waited for Kagome, "By the way, we're going to go to the mall around noon so I suggest that you hurry up. Unless you really want to go look at the cute mall guys looking like that."
Kagome glared and flicked some milk at Sango, "You're so mean. I don't know why I'm friends with you…" She muttered as she quickly finished her breakfast. Kagome stood up and ran upstairs, "And you only give me half an hour to get ready! What kind of a friend are you!?" Kagome yelled as she prepared a quick shower and better clothes to change into.
Sango cleaned up before getting her purse and cell phone, "I'm your best friend which is why I get to mess with you!" Sango yelled up the stairs as she laughed knowing what Kagome's face probably looked like, "Hurry up! I see Inuyasha's car down the street!"
Kagome ran down the stairs after finishing with her hair. She stopped by the door and smiled slightly, "How do I look now?" she asked as she struck a poise.
Sango laughed slightly, "G-great, great." Sango said keeping a hand over her mouth. The doorbell rang and Sango pretended to look for something, "Can you get that Kagome?" she asked innocently.
Kagome watched Sango for a few moments before she saw Inuyasha at the door. She smiled and opened the door, "Hey Inuyasha." She greeted. After he just stared at her for a few moments Kagome frowned, "What?" she asked confused.
Sango broke out laughing behind Kagome. Inuyasha finally averted his eyes, "Uhh… Y-you're… missing something…." He muttered as he blushed.
Kagome remained frozen for a few moments before looking down seeing she was in her underwear. She turned and glared at Sango, "SANGO!" Kagome ran upstairs to finish getting dressed. "How could you do that? Ugh!" Kagome yelled in frustration as she threw a shirt and skirt on. "I bet she did it cause she is mad that I was with Inuyasha alone last night…" Kagome muttered under her breath. She came back down and smiled nervously.
Inuyasha was watched Sango and casually talking to her like Kagome wasn't even there, 'Good thing it was Inuyasha. I know he wont think twice about what happened.' Kagome thought as she grabbed her purse, "Come on guys let's go." She said as she opened the door and walked towards Inuyasha's car.
Miroku was waiting in the car in the backseat. Kagome joined him knowing that Inuyasha wanted Sango next to him. She closed her eyes and tried to relax and enjoy this, though she wasn't sure how she was going to enjoy a day filled with two guys in love with her friend. She didn't really mind though, they were her friends and she usually enjoyed being with them most of the time.
The mall was about a half an hour's drive away. The ride was full of small talk and some awkward conversations. Kagome and Sango dragged the guys to many clothing stores and spent about an hour in each. Inuyasha hated every minute of it, but Miroku enjoyed watching the girls show off what they tried on.
As they walked out of the fifth clothing store, they decided to rest and get something to eat. Sango and Miroku sat on one side of the table and Kagome and Inuyasha sat across from them. They had four different meals, but they were stealing food from each other anyways.
"…And that's how my ancestors discovered the ancient sacred jewel." Sango boasted before shoving a piece of teriyaki chicken in her mouth.
Kagome rolled her eyes slightly, 'It wasn't really her ancestors that even found it. It was someone else in her ancestor's village. It was my ancestors that actually created the stinkin' jewel.' Kagome thought getting tired of hearing the same story over and over again. It really did get old fast.
Smiling, Kagome looked up glad to have a distraction from the love triangle next to her, "Hi Kouga." She said as she waved him over. Immediately afterwards she heard Inuyasha growl behind her, but she ignored it.
Kouga pulled a chair over and sat next to Kagome, "Hey Kagome… everyone." He greeted only briefly looking over the others before watching Kagome, "Funny running into you here." He smirked at Kagome.
Kagome blushed slightly, "I guess…" She said as she looked down for a moment.
"What are you doing here anyways? No one wants you here." Inuyasha muttered out coldly to Kouga.
Kouga glared up at Inuyasha, "What are you doing here mutt? You've been replaced yet you still try to get back what you lost. No one wants a half-breed like you so just get lost."
Inuyasha hit the table as he stood up, "What the hell did you call me?!" He yelled ready to kill Kouga.
Kagome stood up with Kouga placing her hands on both their chests to try and hold them apart, "Guys please… stop this." She said though knew neither was listening to her.
Sango glared slightly when all the attention went between them. She stood up and walked over to Inuyasha placing her hands over his chest and shoulder, "Come on, Inuyasha, it's not worth it. Let's just forget him and move on. There is still a few stores I want to see." She said looking up at him.
Inuyasha calmed down and looked over at Sango. He gave Kouga a last glare before he turned and walked away with Sango and Miroku.
Kagome sighed in relief when Sango broke up the fight. She smiled slightly, "Sorry about that. You know his attitude." She said as she started cleaning up the table some. She saw her friends waiting for her. She turned back to Kouga, "If you try not to fight with Inuyasha, then you can hang out with us today." Kagome suggested not wanting to be alone or leave him out.
Kouga thought for a moment before nodding, "Fine with me, as long as I get to spend the day with you." He said smirking as he wrapped his arm around her.
Kagome shrugged off his arm, "Don't starts fights either." She said as a warning before she turned and walked to her friends with Kouga behind her. Inuyasha glared at the two of them, but started walking when Sango pulled him along.
The guys took a seat as the girls started picking out things to try on. Sango was still in the dressing room when Kagome came out. Kouga complimented her, which made her blush, but Inuyasha pulled her away from everyone before she could respond, "Hey, what are you doing?" Kagome complained but motioned the others to not interfere.
Inuyasha glared at her, "Why the hell did you bring him along?" He asked coldly really trying not to yell at her.
Kagome winced at his tone, but quickly pulled herself together. She glared back at him, "Why is it any of your business who I want to hang out with. You're both my friends and I am going to hang out with my friends whenever I want. If you don't want that then just stay away. You can hang out with Sango and stop worrying about me." She said before she turned away and went back into the changing room.
Inuyasha stood there for a moment or two. Kagome didn't usually get angry at him, well not really angry. They had fake fights before, but nothing like this. Inuyasha looked towards the dressing rooms and shook his head, 'Why am I worrying about this. Kagome will probably forget about this before we leave the store.' Inuyasha thought half wondering why he was worrying about this anyways. Inuyasha sat down and waited for them to finish so they could move on.
Kagome came out in her normal clothes and sat down as far away as possible from Inuyasha. She noticed that for a while Inuyasha was looking at her confused, but she ignored him and had small talk with Kouga about nothing really.
Sango finally finished up and paid for what she liked, "So guys, where do you want to go now?" she asked deciding that maybe they had a place in mind to go.
Kagome shrugged slightly, "Let's go somewhere else. I think we've hit every store in this mall." Kagome said almost out of money to spend.
"We can go to my place." Miroku suggested
Sango leered at him for a few moments, "Doesn't seem like a perverted idea. Are you really Miroku?" she asked raising her eyebrow.
Miroku put his hand over his heart in mock pain, "Ah! Sango dearest, I thought you knew me better than that!"
Everyone laughed, "Yeah, let's go to Miroku's house then." Sango finally agreed.
They started walking towards Inuyasha's car before Kagome stopped and looked back at Kouga. She sighed slightly, "I'll meet you guys there." She said as she went with Kouga not wanting him to feel left out.
Inuyasha stopped and watched as Kagome went into Kouga's car. He growled slightly before brushing it off. Inuyasha got into his car as Sango and Miroku sat in the back together. He didn't pay much attention to them though. He was too lost in his own thoughts.
AN: Hey, it's another chapter. I've been on a writer's block on both my stories, even though I have everything I need there to write out. Just been a lot happening and a lot happening at school, school wise that is. Not so much drama yet. Junior year is fun, sarcasm. I'll try to update sooner and try to make it more interesting soon. Well, ja ne from Chise
