Declaimer: I do no own Inuyasha and the gang
Chapter 2:
Kagome hated going to school the next day. Everyone just started at her as she walked by, some people called her names, and some even spit at her. Even her teachers looked and did the same that the other students did.
However, Kagome just walked past and ignored every single one of them, trying to control her anger. She also stayed as far away as she could from Inuyasha and Kikyo. She wanted nothing to do with them, especially Inuyasha.
Kagome was glad when the school day was over, yet she knew a new life had just began for her. She was now going to be treated even more differently than what she already was for being a class 'A' miko, but to put it all on, she was also a hanyou, a kind most hated in the world of the demons, miko's, monks and demon slayers. She walked out of school when the last bell rang, got her stuff and welcomed the fresh air of the outdoors.
"Hey Kagome!"
"Oh, hey Sango. Where's Miroku?"
"Oh, he said that he will catch up with a later, said he needed to stay after school or something… I bet he's just going to go off and look for girls or something. None of them will ever actually say yes to him… He needs to start living in reality." Sango sighed.
"He'll figure it out eventually Sango… And he will be yours once and for all…" Kagome smiled and then ran for it for Sango was now chasing after her.
"That's not fair! You run too fast!" Sango yelled, stopping to catch her breath.
Kagome just giggled and walked back to her friend. "So what would you like to do today Sango? Miroku will probably look for us at our houses, so which one do you want to go to?"
"How 'bout we go to yours today? My mom is home and I am just sick and tired of her nagging on me all the time. I don't see what more she wants from me… I get good grades, I'm not dating… I'm the perfect child."
"Oh cheer up Sango." Kagome said. "She's just pre-occupied with her own life."
"I guess you're-"
"What is he doing here?" Kagome asked spitefully.
Kagome's house was not far from the school so it did not take long for her and Sango to get to her house. Outside in her driveway was Inuyasha.
"I can get him to go away…" Sango practically growled.
As if Inuyasha heard him, he led up one hand to stop Sango from doing something she would later on regret.
"I just came here to talk to Kagome… I mean no harm to her nor you. I just wish to speak to her…" Inuyasha said in his defense. "Alone." He added.
"I will not leave her alone with you! Whatever you have to say to her, you can say in front of me." Sango said with hate in her voice.
"Sango…" Kagome walked up to her friend and put her hand on her shoulder. "I will be alright. I can handle him on my own if he does mean harm in the end. If I need help, I will yell for you… please, go inside the house Sango."
Sango looked at her friend wearily but still walked into the house, leaving Kagome and Inuyasha outside alone.
"So what did you want Inuyasha?"
"you know, that tone kind of hurts."
"You want to know what else hurts? A person who you thought would keep a secret, one that is most important to you, to not tell anyone, even if you and them are not friends. And then they go and tell it in front of the whole school, making her hated even more."
Inuyasha flinched at the tone in her voice, it was pure hate.
"So what do you want from me Inuyasha? You have humiliated me in the most hurtful way, you have made everyone hate me more than what they already did. You hate me, you are like everyone else, so what the hell do you want from me!"
"I wanted to say… I wanted to say that I was sorry."
"Well, I thank you for making everyone hate me Inuyasha, you just made my life a little easier, by me letting no-one get close to me again!" Kagome yelled, she was on the verge of tears now. She turned to walk away into the house, yet Inuyasha grabbed a hold of Kagome's wrist.
"I'm not done talking to you!"
"Well I am done talking to you! I am tired talked to you even though it has been for a few minutes! I am done!" Kagome tried yanking her wrist out of Inuyasha's hand yet Inuyasha's grip only got stronger.
"Not until you know that I am sorry! I didn't mean to, I want you to know that I am truly sorry Kagome!"
"But why would you do that!? I said you hated me, and you didn't deny it, so why do you say you are sorry when you hate someone as much as you say me?! You've hated me ever since you met Kikyo!"
Inuyasha's grip tightened on Kagome's wrist. "Kagome… I need you to know one thing before I leave here today. I want you to know… that I don't hate you, I never have… Not even when I act like such an ass… I just do it to impress Kikyo, for some reason she hates you, I don't know why, but she does…" Inuyasha leaned to Kagome's ear. "I don't hate you Kagome." Inuyasha then ran over to his car and got in and then drove off, leaving Kagome standing in her driveway stunned.
"He doesn't hate me?..." Kagome said out loud. 'He doesn't hate me…' She repeated in her head. She then mindlessly walked in the front door of her house and walked up the stairs to her bedroom where Sango was on the computer.
"Who you talking to?" Kagome asked.
"Oh, just some random people on the web, I do this when I get bored." Sango smiled. "So what would you like to do Kagome? Miroku will be here soon I am assuming and then we can go to the mall or something, hang out."
"That sounds like a good idea, just let me change out of my school uniform and take a shower. You can borrow some of my clothes if you like so that you don't have to walk around in a skirt for the rest of the day. We are about the same size…"
Kagome walked over to her closet and pulled out some clothes. They consisted of a black halter top jacket that said 'FUCK OFF' in big bold red writing on the front and then a tight little place mini skirt.
"I will be out soon Sango. Choose any clothes from my closet that you want… You want to look good for Miroku don't you?"
Before Sango could say something to Kagome's last comment, Kagome was in the bathroom turning the water on. She put the heat on full force, she liked how the hot water felt on her skin, it clamed her somehow like nothing else in the world did.
After about 10 minutes in the shower, Kagome got out of the shower, dried herself off and slipped into her clothes.
She walked out of the bathroom and into her bedroom to find Miroku on the computer and Sango laying on her bed.
"Sorry if I took a long time… Just the shower felt so good…" Kagome mumbled the last part to herself, neither Sango nor Miroku heard it.
"Eh, no problem Kagome. So what would you both like to do?" Miroku asked.
"I don't care whatever you two want to do. Not up to me." Kagome said in a monotone voice.
"How 'bout we go to the mall? They have a new theater and we could go and see a movie or something after a little shopping."
"Sure… let me just go and finish getting ready… I need a hat to hide these ears…" Kagome mumbled the last part as she walked out of the room and to a closet in the hallway. She pulled out a black hat and put it on and then smiles. No-one would be able to tell who she was with the hat on, she couldn't even tell who she was herself.
"Ok, I'm ready." Kagome said while poking her head into the bedroom smiling.
"Ok, what has her in such a happy mood?" Miroku whispered to Sango.
"I have no clue… when we got here, she wasn't too happy…"
Kagome now yelled from downstairs. "If you two don't get your asses down here in 5 seconds I am going to proclaim you two as a couple! Now get your asses moving!"
'What the hell is up with her today?' Sango thought to herself as she walked into Kagome's car.
When they arrived at the mall, they were surprised to see how many people were there.
"Shit, I forgot that some new stores opened… they are to be busy for the first few days of being opened… so much for hanging out at the mall, it would take hours just to get tickets!"
"Yeah, you could say that…"
"So what now?" Miroku asked.
"I don't know… there really isn't anything for us to do other than go home…"
"Yeah, Kagome would you mind dropping me off at my house? I bet Miroku would come along with me." Sango said smiling.
"Uh sure… I don't really care."
Kagome then drove out of the mall parking lot, looking around at her surroundings making sure that she didn't miss the street that Sango lived on. When they got to Sango's house, Kagome waved goodbye at both Sango and Miroku and drove off quickly.
'Thank god the mall was busy… I want some alone time and I can't think with those two around… they need to notice how they act around each other… GOD it is so annoying!' Kagome thought as she walked into her house and turned on the lights.
She threw the hat onto the floor and twitched her ears.
"God I hate those hats… they hurt my ears, keeping them on for now more than an hour tests my patience with them…" Kagome said aloud, she was now in the kitchen looking for something to eat.
"I miss you mom… dad…" She said as she ran her fingers over a picture on the fridge of what looked like her parents. "You just had to leave when I started to need you the most…" Kagome then shook away the tears and walked upstairs with a bowl of ramen.
She proceeded to sit down at her dusk and turn on the computer. She smiled, she had some new messages, no doubt from Sango already.
One of the messages read:
'Hey Kagome! Reply to this when you get home, I know you'll be on the computer, well… no duh since you're reading this. I just want to know that you got home ok and to tell you that I will see you bright and early at school!
-Sango'
Kagome smiled and typed her reply then turned off the computer to only go and sit on her bed thinking about what Inuyasha said earlier that day.
--Flashback--
Inuyasha's grip tightened on Kagome's wrist. "Kagome… I need you to know one thing before I leave here today. I want you to know… that I don't hate you, I never have… Not even when I act like such an ass… I just do it to impress Kikyo, for some reason she hates you, I don't know why, but she does…" Inuyasha leaned to Kagome's ear. "I don't hate you Kagome." Inuyasha then ran over to his car and got in and then drove off, leaving Kagome standing in her driveway stunned.
"He doesn't hate me?..." Kagome said out loud. 'He doesn't hate me…' She repeated in her head. She then mindlessly walked in the front door of her house and walked up the stairs to her bedroom where Sango was on the computer…
--End Flashback--
"So he doesn't hate me…" Kagome said to herself, staring at her ceiling. "How can I believe that when he's treated me like shit over the years… How he acts when Kikyo is around is unforgivable… but somehow deep inside, I forgive him and believe what he says… but why?" Kagome said at she fell asleep.
