Chapter 4
The ticking of the clock on the drawer seemed to echo through Kagome's ears. Kagome half heartedly tried to concentrate on studying. The math problems were like a foreign language as she tried to decipher the different symbols and formulas.
You stupid mutt! I- InuYasha… I-I'm so sorry!
She cringed at the memory. Her grip on the mechanical pencil tightened. It had been three days since InuYasha had pushed her into the well, and she was still miserable.
'I can't believe I slapped InuYasha, that I called him a… mutt. How could I have been such a jerk?' She shook her head abruptly, trying to clear her thoughts. 'Snap out of it! Self pity later! I have a test tomorrow!'
Kagome busied herself with the notes again. She was actually able to figure out five of the problems when she heard a tapping on her window.
"InuYasha!" she exclaimed, whirling around in her chair to face the window. She blinked, and her smile fell when she saw it was just a small bird pecking at the window pane. "It's… just a bird."
Leave. Leave, Kagome, and don't expect me to be here when you come back. InuYasha's voice and face seemed to reign in her mind.
Kagome sighed and slowly turned back to her studies. "That's right," she said aloud to herself, "He's not coming back to get me… not this time."
Again, she tried to get back to her studies. However, she couldn't stop seeing the pain and rejection in his eyes. He had wanted to cry, but his pride wouldn't let him. The lead of Kagome's mechanical pencil snapped against the notebook paper. Tears dripped onto the school girl's notes. The once silence tears turned into sobs as Kagome cried.
'Wh-What have I done!? I… I lost my best friend!'
