Chapter 4
(This is about a week since Kagome ran out of school. She hasn't talked to Inuyasha and hasn't gone to school)
Inuyasha woke up silently before his alarm clock went off. He could sense something was wrong, like something bad had happened, or was going to happen.
He got up and walked to his window. He unhooked the latch on his window and slid it open. Sticking his head out of the window and leaning against the ledge, he looked down. Something shiny caught his eye.
Carefully climbing out of his window and down the brick wall of his house, he walked silently over to the bush under Kagome's window. He bent down and picked up the object in his hands. The smile he had, had on his face instantly faded when he saw what he had in his hands.
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar…the only thing that's got enough to break my heart
Kagome sat up in her bed. She looked down at her pillow. Black spots were all over it from her mascara. She closed her eyes to keep the tears from falling. She walked over to her door and locked it. She slid down the door and pulled her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. Resting her head on the top of her knees she closed her eyes and choked back tears.
She heard a small sound outside.
"What's that…?" she whispered as she got up and walked over to her window. Pulling back the black curtains she looked out of the window. The sound seemed to get louder the closer she got to the window.
She unhooked the latch and slid the window open. The noise was now loud enough to distinguish. She looked down towards the ground and instantly regretted it.
Inuyasha stood there, holding the picture of them. He was humming a song they had listened to back when they were 16 and riding in his car. Every now and then he would sing a few words, but then go back to humming it.
He's the song, in the car, I keep singing don't know why I do…
Kagome slid her back down on the wall underneath her window. The tears fresh in her eyes.
Inuyasha slid his back up against the wall of her house, landing gently on the ground, clutching the picture in his hands. A silent tear fell onto the glass of the picture.
The tears fell freely from Kagome's now pale cheeks.
Inuyasha's nose perked at the smell of salt. He stood up and looked up at her window.
"She's awake…her curtains are open…" He thought as he debated whether or not to climb up.
He shook his head and climbed up to his own window, shut it and closed his eyes as he stared down at the picture in his hands.
Kagome had her famous smile plastered on her face. He stood beside her smiling with his arm wrapped around her waist holding her close to him.
He smiled slightly at the picture.
"Kagome…" he whispered silently as he started at her smiling face forever captured in the photo.
XxXxXxXx
Kagome cried silently into her hands as she sat on her bed.
There was a knock on her bedroom door.
"Kagome? Dear you need to get some fresh air, why don't you go outside?" her mother called through the door.
"Okay…" Kagome said silently. She walked over to her door and was about to walk out when she saw her guitar. She walked over and picked it up then went into her backyard. There was a bench-like swing in the middle of the yard with a huge tree beside it giving it shade. She smiled as the wind blew her hair around her and walked over to the swing, sat down, and started strumming her guitar.
(This song is "Invisible" By Taylor Swift, yes, I'm having a Taylor obsession at the moment okay?! Lol)
She
can't see the way your eyes
Light up when you smile
She'll
never notice how you stop and stare
When ever she walks by
Inuyasha heard a soft voice from outside.
"Is that Kagome?" he said quietly to himself as he climbed out of his window and snuck around to the back yard.
And
you can't see me wanting you And I just want to show you
the way you want her
But you are
everything to me
She don't even
know you
She's
never going to love you
Like I want too
And You just see right
through me
If you only knew me
We could be a beautiful
miracle
Unbelievable, instead of just invisible
He stood there silently listening to her words. Her voice mesmerizing him.
Yeah, There's
a fire inside of you
That can't help but shine through.
She's
never gonna see the light
No matter what you do
The words finally registering in his brain he got a concerned look on his face.
And I just want to show you
And
all I think about
Is how to make you think of me
And everything
that we could be
She don't even
know you
She's never gonna love you
Like i want too
And you
just see right through me
If you only knew me
We could be a
beautiful miracle
Unbelievable, instead of just invisible.
Like
shadows in a faded light
We're invisible
I just wanna open your
eyes
and make you realize
You just see right through me
I
just want to show you
She don't even know you
Baby let me love
you, let me want you.
But if
you only knew me
We
could be a beautiful miracle, She can't see the way your eyes
Unbelievable, instead of just
invisible.
light up when
you smile.
He stood there and waited until he heard nothing more.
Kagome sat on the swing. She pulled her legs up onto the swing and pulled her knees to her chest. She wrapped her arms around her legs and buried her face into her legs.
She suddenly felt a extra weight on the swing. She gasped.
"Kagome…?" a male voice said from beside her.
She shut her eyes and choked on a sob.
"I…I'm sorry Kagome…I didn't know…" he said as he reached to put a hand on her back. She jumped up and glared at him.
"I CANT BELIVE YOU! YOU THINK IF YOU JUST SAY SORRY ILL FORGIVE YOU AND WE'LL BE ALL GOOD AGAIN! UGH! YOU BASTARD!" she screamed as she grabbed her guitar off the ground and ran back inside, tears running down her cheeks.
Inuyasha sat there mentally beating himself up.
XxXxXxXx
The next day Kagome decided she might as well go to school.
She walked into the front door and was automatically surrounded by all of her best friends.
"Kagome! We're so glad you could come today!" Eri cried as she hugged Kagome. Kagome smiled at her friends.
"I'm fine you guys, I was just…having an emotional breakdown…that's all." Kagome said silently as she walked past them and to her locker. She froze when she saw him at his locker. (remember they have lockers right next to each other.)
He looked out of the corner of his eye at her. She noticed him looking and looked at the ground.
He shut his locker and started to walk over to her but was stopped when Kouga, his arch rival came over to Kagome and started talking to her.
XxXxXxXx
"Hey Kagome, where'ya been?" Kouga asked as he gently stroked Kagome's arm.
"home…I was having some emotional issues…thanks for your concern…" Kagome said smiling at him. Kouga was her friend, he had a bit of a crush on her…okay who are we kidding?! He was in love with her, but she didn't feel that way about him.
"So…you feel like going to the movies with me tonight?" Kouga asked smiling
Kagome glanced in Inuyasha's direction and saw him watching her.
"Sure Kouga, I'd LOVE to go to the movies with you!" Kagome said loud enough for Inuyasha to hear.
"Great! I'll pick you up at 7:30 okay?"
"Sounds great!" Kagome said as she planted a kiss on his cheek.
She could see Inuyasha clench his fists at his side and she heard him growl under his breath.
Operation Jealousy: ON!
