1Caught Between The Two
This story is wrapping up nicely. :) Since it was originally meant only as a one shot, and as I have yet to actually see the ending in REALITY, I'll just bring you guy's up to date. Give you guys the happy ending we all secretly crave. (Me especially.) Oh, and sorry if some of the Inuyasha characters's in this story are sort of... not themselves. I fit them to match the real life people as best I could.
Disclaimer: I do not now, nor have I ever, sadly, owned Inuyasha. I do, however, own each and every story I weave the characters into. If there is one that I do not own, I will mention so before hand. I give all credit where it deserve's to go. Do not sue. Do not steal. :)
And protect her he did. Inuyasha, I mean. He stuck by her side everyday for the next few months, cutting Kouga off before he even had time to get out a Hello, Kagome, and turning Kagome and walking away. Even going so far as to scream at Kouga, "Get with the fugging program, Wolf-Shit! She doesn't like you! And leave her freaking hair alone!"
Kagome liked the attention Inuyasha was giving her. She enjoyed walking side by side down the hallway's of her school, clad in black and blue, with Inuyasha walking snugly beside her, carrying her bag.
She didn't, however, like the attention other's threw her way.
Hateful remarks were to be expected, after all, the school punk was becoming close friends with Kyoto High's basketball superstar, but was tripping her really necessary?
"Hey!" Kagome shouted, picking herself up off of the ground. "What the fuck was that for, Ass-Hole?"
A girl with waist length black hair and bitchy gray eyes turned and glared at her. "What do you think, freak? Stay away from my Inuyasha."
"Yours?" Taking a step towards the stranger, Kagome ground her teeth. "He's got a fucking free will. He can make his own decisions."
"And you honestly think he'd choose you, you freak?"
"I don't see why the fuck not!" Kagome growled, throwing herself forward to come face to face with the latest nuicence. "Look, if you've got a fuggin' problem with me, take it up with me. But don't make excuses for yourself. And if you ask me, the only freak around here, is the one wearing pink from head to fucking toe!"
The girl took a step back and looked down at herself, shocked. She wore a pink headband, a darker pink tank top, light blue flared jeans, and pink flats. She looked for all the world, or at least Kagome, like a flamingo.
"Pinks a great color."
"Pink's the color of Pepto freaking Bismol. Pink's what you drink when you've got freaking diareha. Hell, It makes me want to freakin' gag just looking at you."
"You"– Flamingo-girl stuttered, looking for an appropriate insult. "You"–
"Me." Kagome told her, picking up her tattered, beaten up old black backpack and walking past, not forgetting to pull the end of her hair on her way past. "That's exactly what I am. Me. And don't you ever fucking forget it, Girl."
Kagome walked down the hallway some ways, waiting until the bell rang and the halls cleared before she slumped against the wall and pulled up her pant leg to look at the hard core road-burn now adorning her knee. "Fuck." She hissed, opening her back pack and searching for a band aid.
"You really are something else, you know that?"
Kagome didn't even bother turning. "Yeah, well. It's not like I picked the fight. The flamingo started it. Besides, I'm not gonna let some prep try and run my life, Inuyasha."
Kagome let her pant leg fall and re-situated her high heeled ankle boots. Slumping down on the floor and leaning against the wall, Kagome let her eye lids fall and listened for the rustle of fabric that was Inuyasha sitting beside her.
"Not that. You can cuss Kikyo out all you want. I broke up with her months ago. I meant the fight. Sango wasn't kidding when she said you could hold your own."
A sheepish smile graced Kagome's lips as she cracked an eye lid open to glance at him. "Thanks."
They were silent for a moment, and Kagome took it to settle her nerve's and block out the pain in her knee. Focusing on her anger and vowing that the next time Kikyo the Flamingo came in contact with her, she wouldn't just make idol threats, and she wouldn't stop until she broke the chick's nose.
"You were right." Inuyasha spoke so suddenly that Kagome had to pop both eye's open and sit up to look at him.
"About what?"
With a sheepish blush and a small keh, Inuyasha turned away, "About me choosing you. There's no reason I wouldn't."
Kagome's shock soon turned to a small smile as she blushed and turned away too. "Trust me, Inuyasha, that feelings been mutual since the third grade."
