What Are We?
Kagome sighed deeply as she straightened her hair with the flat iron. Ever since that kiss she thought something would come but nothing changed. He treated her like he always had. A part of her was wondering if she became delusion from her period. Also, it was hard to tell what his relationship was with Kikyo. Sometimes they seemed like they were dating and other times they seemed just like friends. And it wasn't like he revealed much to her about it. Every time she asked, he always made a joke about her being noisy and changed the subject.
She sighed deeply and turned her flat iron off. She brushed her hair and stared at herself in the mirror. Today was her first year of high school and after her first period, her mother convinced her to start dressing and acting more like a girl.
She looked at the time and gasped. She knew Inuyasha was waiting and most likely, he was pissed. She quickly placed lip-gloss on and ran downstairs.
"Nee-Chan, Inuyasha-Nii-Chan is waiting for you." Souta told her. She kissed his cheek and ran to the door.
"Ittekimasu!!!" Kagome shouted.
"Itterasshai!!" Her mother shouted back. Kagome opened her door and spotted Inuyasha sitting on the steps with his back towards her like usual.
"You're fucking late." He growled. "Are you ever gonna come out when you say you-" He stopped short when he looked at her. She looked at him.
"Nani?" She shrugged. He felt a lump in his throat. He quickly stood up and looked at her.
Her usually unruly hair was now straight and falling down her back, she had on fitting black jeans that made her growing hips noticeable along with a fitting U-cut purple short sleeve shirt that showed the curves of her waist and open toe black sandals. He quickly glanced at her breasts that have definitely gotten bigger and noticed her lips were shiner.
"Inuyasha." She called out to him and he shook his head.
"Why are you dressed weird like that?" He asked looking away from her as they began walking. She looked down at her attire and nodded.
"I agree it is weird, but Kaa-Chan said I should start dressing like this since I'm in high school." She stated and shrugged. Inuyasha stuffed his hands in his pockets.
"Keh, you just want the older high school guys to look at you."
"Is that bad? I'm single aren't I?" She asked looking straight ahead. Inuyasha tensed for a moment. He then cleared his throat and shrugged.
"That's how you wanted it." He said with a slight attitude. She quickly looked at him.
"What's that suppose to mean?" She asked but saw he wasn't looking at her.
"Oi Kikyo!" He shouted and ran over to her. She smiled and hugged him tightly which he returned. Kagome stood in her spot looking a bit stunned. She shrieked when someone grabbed her butt.
"Oh shit Kagome, I didn't know it was you my fault." Miroku said he then did a double take on her. "Oh second thought let me get a second feel." He said moving towards her. She laughed and punched his arm, which made him wince in pain.
"You really shouldn't." She warned him. He decided to heed that warning.
"Goddamn Kagome what the hell happened to you over the summer?" Bankotsu asked walking next her. She laughed.
"What do mean?" She asked feeling confused.
"You haven't noticed all the looks you been getting?" Miroku pointed out. She looked around and spotted a lot of guys checking her out. She looked down and began blushing. She felt weird she never had this type of attention before.
She looked at Inuyasha and saw him staring at her. He quickly looked away from her and wrapped his arm around Kikyo.
"Miro, Bank I'll see you two later." He put his hand up.
"Ah shit!!!" Miroku and Bankotsu cheered as he and Kikyo walked away. Kagome looked down, somehow her heart felt very heavy.
Kagome walked to her new locker and sighed deeply. Instead of being sad like most girls would be she felt angry. He kissed her so passionately and then just like that he goes back to acting as if nothing ever happened. Kagome moaned and stuck her head in the locker. She wanted to fade away.
"Are you ok?" She heard someone ask her. Kagome turned around and saw a girl about her size standing in front of her. Kagome laughed feeling embarrassed.
"Yeah I'm fine, I don't usually stick my head in lockers for fun. I'm just a little overwhelm." She laughed sheepishly. The girl laughed and opened the locker next to Kagome's.
"Oh my god me too this school is so big my Jr. High was nothing like this." She laughed as Kagome nodded.
"Oh I know." They both laughed. Kagome then held her hand out. "I'm Kagome."
"Oh, I'm Sango." They both shook hands and smiled. "What class do you have now?" She asked. Kagome looked at her schedule.
"I have homeroom in room 123 and math in that same class."
"Oh my god me too." Sango smiled. Kagome gasped and they both gave each other a high five. "Shall we?" Sango asked. Kagome nodded and they both began walking down the hall together.
Sango stood the same height as Kagome reaching five foot five, her brunette hair stopped at her tailbone her eyes were a cinnamon color and light tan skin molded over slender yet curvy body. She was dressed in black Capri's with a long yellow halter-top and black sandals.
Kagome noticed a lot of guys staring at Sango. She was a beautiful girl Kagome began to wonder if she was as pretty. She sighed deeply she still had a lot of growing to do.
They reached their homeroom and Kagome spotted Inuyasha sitting in the back staring out the window. She walked over to him and sat down next to her while Sango sat in front of her.
"Are you still mad at me?" Kagome questioned. He sighed and looked at her with a bored expression.
"Did I ever say I was mad at you?" He snapped.
"But you have an attitude right now? Why do you always take your anger out on me?" She asked getting frustrated.
"You're the one who came over and bothered me first!"
"I just asked you a question it would've took a simple yes or no answer. You're the one getting nasty like you usually do. If you don't talk out your problems you're gonna have a lot relationship problems." She said. He rolled his eyes.
"And what are you now the fucking relationship guru?"
"Did I ever say I was a relationship guru?!" She snapped giving back what he gave her.
"Fuck you." He mumbled looking out the window and Kagome shook her head looking down. Sango looked between them. She could tell their relationship wasn't good. She just hoped they weren't boyfriend and girlfriend.
Miroku walked into the class and spotted Sango. He ran over to her and put on his best smile.
"Miroku, Miroku Yamazaki." He introduced himself.
"Sango." She replied smiling. He sat down next to her and instantly tensed up. He jumped up from his seat.
"Whoa what the fuck is up with this tension? Are you two fighting again?" Miroku asked and neither one of them replied. "You know you two are gonna end up getting married one day."
"Fuck you!!" Inuyasha and Kagome spat in unison. They both glared at each other and looked away. Miroku shrugged and sat back down.
"Don't mind them they fight all the time. After a while you'll learn to drown it out like I do." He smiled at her.
Bankotsu stood by the doorway.
"Oi! Inuyasha and Kagome fighting again?" He asked. Miroku nodded his head.
"Like always." He replied.
"I figured I felt the classroom next door rumble. I was like oh shit the honeymooners are at it again." He stated and everyone began laughing. Miroku clapped his hands and laughed as Sango laughed. Inuyasha and Kagome began blushing.
The sensei for the room walked behind Bankotsu who jumped out his skin.
"Whoa don't sneak up on me like that, that's the fastest way to get cut." He said. Miroku, Sango, and Inuyasha began laughing as Kagome shook her head.
"Are you a student of mine?" He asked Bankotsu.
"No, my homeroom is next door but I'm in this class for math though so I shall be back. Hasta La Vista Bitches." He waved and left. Miroku and Inuyasha began laughing. The man sighed deeply and shook her head.
"So you guys all know each other?" Sango asked. Miroku nodded his head.
"Un…the three of us went to grade school together and we went to Jr. High with Bankotsu." Miroku answered.
"As you can see Miroku is nice, Bankotsu silly but someone over here had to give you a bad first impression." She glared at Inuyasha.
"Keh!"
After school, Inuyasha and Kagome walked home quietly. It was an awkward silence since neither of them knew how to break it. Like usual they were fighting over something utterly stupid. Kagome decided to be the bigger person and end this like she always ended up doing.
"Inuyasha, can we stop fighting already?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha looked down and cleared his throat.
"I don't wanna fight with you." He stated. "I don't know I guess I get crazy every now and then." He replied. Kagome looked down.
"Are you and Kikyo dating?" She asked.
"Un." He whispered. "I asked her out 9th period." He stated. She stopped walking and Inuyasha turned to look at her. "Nani?"
"Nande?" She whispered staring at the ground. She then looked at him as tears emerged from her eyes. "Nande?!!" She yelled.
"Nande what?!! I don't get it!!!!" Inuyasha yelled back.
"Why did you kiss me like that if you had no plans of dating me? Did you kiss me just to practice for her?!!" Kagome shouted.
"What the hell are you talking about?!" He shouted back.
"Why did you kiss me?" She lowered her voice. "Did you pity me because I was embarrassed that night?"
"Of course not what kind of guy do you take me for?" He scoffed.
"So why? Is what I'm asking?" She looked at him letting her tears roll down her cheeks. He paused and cursed under his breath. Why was she always crying and why was he always the cause?
"After I kissed you, you never said anything you just acted like nothing happened so I thought maybe you wanted to forget that it happened." He stated rubbing the back of his head.
"You never said anything so I thought that's what you wanted." She said and they both looked at each other. It became silent between them as they looked in opposite directions. Inuyasha sighed deeply.
"Shit, I guess I have to break up with Kikyo." He stated and Kagome quickly looked at him.
"Nande?" She asked.
"Do you wanna be with me or not?" He snapped. She nodded her head. "Unless you wanna share me with her?" She shook her head no. "Alright, then so I have to break up with her. I kissed you because I like you, I like you a lot." He told her. She smiled at him. He wiped her tears and kissed her lips gently. Kagome closed her eyes and accepted his lips. He slid his tongue in her mouth and she moaned. She felt her heart racing as the kiss between them deepened. He slowly moved from the kiss and looked at her. "Come back to my house." He whispered. She looked at him and nodded her head.
They walked back to his house hand in hand. Kagome began getting nervous she had no idea what he was thinking or why he wanted her to come back to his house so suddenly. Maybe he wanted to do this and that with her. Her face became hot as crazy thoughts filled her mind.
Inuyasha opened the front door of his empty house. He closed the door behind them and instantly caught her lips. He laid her on the couch and slid his tongue on her mouth. She moaned into the kiss and ran her hands through his dark mane. He began kissing her neck and he pulled her shirt out of her jeans. His hands crawled up her waist as he sucked on her neck. She let out a soft moan and bit her bottom lip. He grabbed her breasts and kissed her jaw making her moan even louder.
He quickly sat up and grabbed his head. Kagome looked confused.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Betsu Ni." He whispered and stood up. "Are you hungry?" He asked with his back towards her.
"Inuyasha." Kagome called out but he walked into the kitchen not turning back to look at him. Kagome looked down and her hands.
She couldn't figure him out.
