I'll Always Be There For You
I'll Always Be There For You
Chapter4. Grade Eight.
Many years have past since her 5th birthday with Inuyasha, now she was about to turn 14. She was going to get her 9th charm from Inuyasha. She has a huge crush on him. But since she was 5, she has glasses and braces. And due to the fact that she had no friends she didn't care about her looks. She has frizzy hair and no matching clothes.
Now she was a smart student, but she never paid attention in class. She was always listening to music on her outdated iPod, and had her head in the clouds. She always did her homework and aced the tests. But teachers didn't like her in the classroom. Also since she had no friends, she went to summer camp every year… nothing better to do in the summer eh?
Now when everyone was around Inuyasha was a jackass to her, and it hurt her, but he ALWAYS apologized to her and once he even cried because he made her really upset before and he begged for her to forgive him. Of course she did. Who could resist his eyes?? And he was also dating Kikyo. They were the most popular in school, and the best couple. This hurt Kagome a lot but what could she do? She was at the bottom of the popularity list…
Although she wasn't the best, she did tie in one thing with her sister… Archery. She was the best tied with Kikyo in archery. It was her passion. And today they were having a competition. Inuyasha was of course there for the both of them, but people only thought he was for Kikyo. So far it was only Kagome and Kikyo in the finals. They both kept getting bulls eyes. And that's when something threw Kikyo off balance and she missed! But Kagome got the shot so Kagome won the trophy.
Everyone was shocked, even Kagome herself. She was happy. 'Ha! I finally beat her in something!' She thought with a smirk.
They went home and her mother was so proud of her. Kikyo was pissed Inuyasha knew what the 9th charm for her birthday would be this year.
The Next Day
It was math class, and again as usual Kagome was listening to her iPod. And the teacher didn't notice. Now Kikyo was still pissed off about yesterday and she noticed her sister with the iPod.
"Oh Mr. Juko! Kagome is listening to her iPod again in class!" Kikyo hollered out with a smirk Kagome didn't even flinch.
"Kagome please remove your head phones immediately!"
She didn't do anything. "Giving the teacher a hard time Kagome?? You do know that's not allowed right, freak?" Inuyasha said laughing as did the rest of the class. She looked over at him and saw in his eyes that he was sorry.
"Thank you Inuyasha, now Kagome this is the last time I will ask you before I send you down to the office! And this time you will be punished by the principal!"
"Fine!" Kagome said, and she got up and walked out of the class.
"Where are you going??" The teacher hollered.
"To the office where else?" She said smugly and walked off.
As she was walking down the hall she was singing along to the song she was listening to, now no one has ever listened to her sing before but she has an amazing voice. But yet again, Kikyo was head of the choir at school, and always got 1st place in the talent show.
She arrived at the office after a 15 minute conversation with her principal her mother was called in and she was suspended for two weeks. Her mother was very disappointed. While her mother was driving her home. She was quietly listening to her iPod. "Kagome? Why do you have to constantly be getting into trouble? All the teachers think you're slow. I know you're not honey, you pass tests you do your work, can't you PLEASE pay attention in class?"
She looked over at her mother. "Sorry," she muttered… "but no I can't, ok mother?" She said coldly. Her mother sighed.
A Few Weeks Later
Everyone was in the soccer field playing soccer for gym, and it was soon to be Kikyo, and Kagome's birthday. "So, Inuyasha, you're coming to my 14th birthday right?" Kikyo asked innocently.
He smiled at his girlfriend and said, "of course I am." And he kissed her. And Kagome of course saw this and didn't really like it. But she couldn't say anything. For the two weeks that she was suspended she was punished, and her mother kept on saying to her, 'why can't you be more like your sister, she NEVER gets suspended!' And of course this hurt her. But what could she do?
Kagome sat out that gym class, because she had a major migraine. She got them a lot. And she also got dizzy a lot and didn't know why. But she didn't really care because she got out of the number one class she hated. She wasn't the most picked, and because she was shy she couldn't play the sports. If she set her mind to it, she probably could.
Gym class was finally over now and it was the end of the day. And tomorrow was their birthday and it would be Saturday.
After school Inuyasha went over to their house, and watched a few movies with Kikyo. They were currently watching 'I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry.' Kikyo picked to watch this one. It was the ending of the movie, and Kagome walked in and looked over.
"What are you doing in here?" Kikyo asked.
"I was going to watch a movie that I just burned, but never mind…" Kagome said
"Wait." Inuyasha said, and Kagome looked back and Kikyo looked mad. "What movie did you burn?"
"Hancock." She said.
"Seriously? I've been wanting to watch that movie since I saw the previews!" Inuyasha said.
"Oh, well you guys can watch it I guess … I'll just go and do homework." She said handing him the movie. Inuyasha felt bad, he wanted her to watch the movie too.
"Kikyo, why don't we let her watch it with us?" By now Kagome was upstairs already.
"Are you kidding? Her, watch a movie… with US? Are you insane?"
"Well she is the one that burned it, and it's not like she has to sit with us Kikyo, she could sit in the chair beside the couch…" Inuyasha said kissing her.
Sigh "Fine!" But you go get her. Kikyo said madly.
"Ok." He said getting up and going upstairs. When he got to Kagome's room, he knocked on the door.
"Come in." He heard Kagome say so he walked in. She was surprised to see it was Inuyasha.
"Oh, ummm hi Inuyasha. Why aren't you watching the movie?"
"Well I figured you might want to watch it with us, and I asked Kikyo she said ok, but you have to sit on the chair, not on the couch with us, sorry…" he said.
She smiled. "It's alright, getting her to say yes to watching a movie with me is a miracle." She said giggling.
He smiled, "well are you going to or no?" He asked.
She giggled. "Sure why not?"
After the movie was finished it was dinner time, and Inuyasha and Kikyo couldn't shut up about how great the movie was. Kagome loved it too, but didn't go into conversation about it.
Than about an hour later Inuyasha went home.
Kagome was up in her room finishing her homework, and Kikyo was on the phone with Inuyasha and watching TV.
The Birthday Party
Today Kikyo dressed up nice, and so did Kagome. She knew she wouldn't really get any attention but she wanted to dress up for once. And she looked really pretty, but nothing compared to Kikyo, only because she had better clothing.
Kikyo was wearing a beautiful blue dress that had spaghetti straps and was a bit higher than her knees. She also had beautiful matching blue high heels.
Kagome was wearing a really cute red tube top that said crazy gal on the front in silver beads. She was wearing a matching black skirt and black strap heels. She also had her hair up in a pony tail.
Of course Kagome was left out as usual. And Kikyo got all the attention and presents from friends and etc. So she just spent most her time in her room listening to music. Music was like her secret get away from everything.
Sure enough a little while later Inuyasha was knocking on her bed room door to give her her present. He used the same excuse as last year to Kikyo, I got to use the bathroom I'll be right back.
She allowed him in and they were talking and giggling for a while.
"So Inuyasha what is my new charm for my bracelet this year?" She said smiling.
He smirked. "Something special." He handed her the box. And she gladly unwrapped it, and just stared at it amazed. She LOVED it. It was a golden arrow, just like her trophy. She smiled.
"Inuyasha, I love it!" She said running and jumping into his arms.
He smiled and held her. He whispered into her ear "Kagome, you look really beautiful today." He said smiling.
She blushed. "Thank you…"
He leaned in, and she did so as well. And they kissed. Not a little peck kiss, but a French kiss. Than they parted, and both were blushing furiously.
"Did we just??" Kagome asked. He nodded his head. "Well this is awkward." She said.
"Well, I…" He looked down. About to finish and he got cut off.
"Inuyasha! Hurry back downstairs!!" Kikyo hollered from the bottom of the stairs.
Inuyasha gave a frustrated look. "Ok, I'll be down in a second!" He hollered.
"Well you better go." Kagome said.
"Yeah, we'll finish our conversation on Monday ok?" He asked.
"Sure, but how?"
"I'll find a way ok?"
"Alright." She said not knowing how he would pull this one off.
Monday at School
Kagome had her hair up in a bun today to hide her hideously frizzy hair. She was wearing a baggy t-shirt and jeans. She was wondering when Inuyasha would talk to her today…
'I wonder how he's going to pull this out of his ass!' Kagome though just as Inuyasha runs by her while lightly punching her on her to make her notice him, she realized he wanted her to follow him. So she did.
She ended up losing him; he made her run outside of school down an alley way, she was scared. Something grabs her she goes to scream but her mouth gets covered over.
"Shhh it's just me." Inuyasha said. She relaxed
"Why here??" She asked...
"No school today." He smirked.
Her eyes widened. "But what if my mom finds out?? Kikyo will rat on me!"
"Don't worry about Kikyo Kagome… She's skipping today too, she'll never know." He looked at her and smiled. Her back was still towards him. He began nibbling down her neck, she loved the feeling.
"But Inuyasha, you're dating Kikyo." She said while moaning.
He frowned. "Pffft she's probably cheating on me too." He said.
"So break up with her."
"Can't." He said sadly.
"Why not??"
"When you're dating someone as powerful as her, if you break up with them, you're down in the dirt."
"Oh... right…" She said. "Like me." She looked at him.
"I didn't mean it like that Kagome…" He said. "It's just, I'm a half demon, I'm hated, and I can't bear to go through what other half demons go through…" He looked at her.
"So what I'm an escape from all that?" She asked defended.
"No!! That's not what I meant Kagome, I'm sorry! Don't hate me!" He said holding her close running his hands up and down her back which sent shivers down her spine.
"Inuyasha, as long as you're with my sister, I… I…" He put his finger to her lips.
"Shhhhh." He said gazing deeply into her eyes. "Kagome what I wanted to tell her on Saturday was that…" He stopped his heart was racing as was Kagome's.
"That?" She asked breathing in deeply…
"Kagome, I love you." He said and kissed her. Her eyes widened, she kissed him back. But than pushed him away crying.
"Inuyasha I can't, I just can't…!" She said running off going back to school. Leaving Inuyasha in the laneway.
Inuyasha just slumped down sitting on the cold concrete in the laneway. 'I got rejected, but she kissed me on Saturday and she kissed me back now… What's going on? I'm so confused!!' He thought.
The rest of the day Kagome ignored Inuyasha, he tried talking to her when know one was looking, she just looked at him and said leave me alone please Inuyasha. He was heart broken. He had admitted his feelings towards her and she rejected him! But to what he didn't know was that she loved him too. She just didn't want to be, the other woman.
And now it was after school, and he went with Kikyo to her house, and while there he had snuck up into Kagome's room to apologize one more time. He knocked on her door.
"Come in." She said. When he walked in she was too busy on the computer to realize that it was him, she was searching a few things up.
"Kagome…"
"Oh Inuyasha, what do you want?" She asked not taking her eyes off of her computer.
"I just wanted to say sorry… again, because I really do mean it Kagome." Inuyasha said.
"Don't worry about it. I over reacted. Oh and next year I might get my 10th charm a little late…" She said.
"Why??" He asked very confused.
"Well because, you see, I might take up grade nine in England."
"Why?"
"I cannot stand it here with Kikyo any more, I'm going to go there and do grade nine and I'll be back for grade ten…" She said.
"Oh, I see."
"Yeah…" She looked at him.
"Well, enjoy it there, I'll miss you Kagome."
"I might not go though; it's up to my mom."
"Ok, well, if you do go, I will miss you and be happy to see you when you come back in the summer…"
"Not the summer, I got camp remember…"
"Oh yeah that's right, well the beginning of grade ten I guess."
With that all said he left, with a broken heart.
And as for Kagome she had spoken to her mother about it and told how much of an opportunity it was to go there, and how good it will be for her education, so her mother agreed. The trip cost Mrs. Higurashi a thousand dollars per month, so nine thousand all together.
A Few Months Later
School had finished and Kagome was getting out of camp and getting on a plane to go to England for one year. In all her honesty, she did care about leaving everyone, even Inuyasha, she just wanted out, and she was happy this way.
And thus grade nine was starting for everyone, everyone was excited about high school. Even Kagome for once…
Ah ha! Finally chapter 4, sorry for the wait but I was cramped with work SORRY!!
