Chapter 4: He needs me

A month has passed since Souta and I started school at Shikon High. We'd made some good friends, and even some enemies. Sango and I spend almost every day with each other. She has become the best friend I've always secretly wanted. Even though we've only known each other a short time, it seems like it's been years. She's loyal in her friendship towards me, and that is enough to bring a smile to my face. Then I have Rin. She's so bubbly and sweet. She never fails to put everyone in a great mood. Ayame is a wolf demon. She and I have spent quite a bit of time together. She has the cutest little sister named Kina. These three girls were my best girl friends. But, as I said, I have made quite a few enemies. Kikyo. She is known as the biggest slut in school, but that doesn't stop her from ruining peoples' lives. I'm on her list of people to fuck over, I assume. Then there was Naraku. He was my boyfriend at Sakura, but we broke up. Now he's here at Shikon and I feel like he's out to get me.

I've actually made friends with some of the guys at this school, too. Miroku and Inuyasha were my best guy friends. They're always there when I need them. Inuyasha's older brother Sesshomaru became a good friend of mine as well, which surprised everyone including myself. Kouga and became friends, too. He apologized for his actions on my first week of school and I forgave him.

Souta has made quite a few friends as well. Kohaku became Souta's other half. They did everything together, and I do mean EVERYTHING. There was this girl around Souta's age named Kaede, and I think he has a crush on her. The only problem with this girl is that she's Kikyo's little sister. I think Souta made friends with Kohaku's soon to be girlfriend, Kanna, as well. I was ecstatic at the thought of Souta having friends. He finally broke out of his shell of depression completely.

It was the 2nd weekend of September. Souta and I had kept our jobs and had quite a bit of money now. We saved up a few 100 dollars and decided to go shopping with Sango and Kohaku. We were currently in the downtown shopping center in Tokyo.

"Kags! Look at these panties! They would totally look good on you!" Souta yelled holding up a pair of panties. People began staring at him so I snatched the undies from him.

"SOUTA THIS IS VICTORIA'S SECRET! GET OUT!" I threw Souta and Kohaku out of the store like Jazz off of Fresh Prince. "Why did we bring them again?!" I asked Sango. She giggled and we continued our shopping.

After we finished our shopping we decided to look for the boys.

"Where could they be?" Sango asked. I suddenly pointed a finger and bust out laughing. "What's so funny?" She asked as she looked to where I was pointing.

There on the merry-go-round were our brothers. They had climbed on top and gotten stuck. Security was struggling to retrieve them and the boys were fake crying and screaming. Sango and I were bursting with laughter until..

"WHO DO THESE TWO BELONG TO?!" Shouted on of the security guards once the boys were down from the ride. Sango and I instantly quieted our laughter and made our way up to the boys. "These your brothers?" The guard asked us. I nodded and the guard began yelling. "THESE BOYS ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE!"

I didn't have time for that security guards mouth so I grabbed Souta and began running. Sango and Kohaku were right behind us. It took a minute for the guard to register what had happened but once he did, he dashed after us. Once we were out of sight, Souta and I used our spiritual powers to erect a barrier that would allow the four of us to go unseen by everyone. We held the barrier until the guards ran past us. We all high-fived each other and ran back to my apartment.

We arrived at my house after 30 minutes of running. We had such an adrenaline rush! Souta unlocked our door and let everyone inside.

"Wow! That was awesome!" Kohaku exclaimed as he fist bumped Souta. Sango nodded fiercely

Souta's eyes widened at me.

"What?!" I asked him.

"Did you buy those panties?!" He asked searching my bags. Sango and Kohaku were shaking their heads at Souta's antics.

To everyone's surprise, however, I held up a few pairs of panties and replied, "Yes, I did."

Souta gave me toothy grin and everyone began to laugh.

It was back Monday morning again. My alarm went off at 5:30 as usual. I, once again, pimp slapped the damn thing into next week. Throwing a pillow over my face and began to drift off again until...

HOOOOOOONKKKKKKK

"WAKE UP YOU FATASS!" Souta yelled from my doorway.

"WAAAAH! SOUTA!" I had flown out of bed and was now screaming at him. He walked back over to me and..

HHOOONNKKK

"Shut up, or I'm going to use our 'noisy friend' again! Get ready for school!" He yelled as he exited my bedroom.

"UGGHHH!" I groaned as I walked to my bathroom to take a shower.

We were both ready after thirty minutes and began our trek to school.

Souta and I were idly chatting away until he spotted a convenience store.

"Want some coffee, Kags? I'll pay!" He asked with a smile. I nodded my head and he ran off to the store. I was leaning against the wall of the store, waiting for Souta, when a car pulled up next to me. Inuyasha stepped out of the car and looked at me.

"What are you doing out here?" He walked over to me.

"Waiting on Souta, he's buying coffee."

"Ah, where's your car?" I looked up into Inuyasha's eyes. He seemed confused.

"I don't have one. We walk everywhere. I thought you knew that.." I told him with a straight face.

His next question caught me off guard. "You live kind of far to be walking, don't you? Where are your parents?" I froze and Souta appeared right then.

"Uh, we better get going!" Souta exclaimed dragging me down the street, leaving a very confused half-demon.

"I wasn't prepared for that question.." I whispered to Souta.

He handed me the coffee. "Yeah, I know Kags. Neither was I."

We walked the rest of the way in silence. Why weren't Souta and I able to talk about the 'incident' to anyone? We wouldn't even talk to each other. We always kept our feelings bottled up. But enough was enough. I'm supposed to take car of my baby brother and that's what I'm going to do! We both need to get some things off of our chests. "Souta, we need to have a long talk when we get home, okay."

Gym had arrived quickly. Today we were sparring and Sango was my partner.

"Hey Kagome," Sango started, throwing a punch my way. "You seem kind of quiet. Did something happen this morning?"

I dodged her punch and kicked her in the stomach, "Huh, oh.. nothing really happened. Just some.. family problems, that's all." Well it was somewhat true, I guess.

She groaned at being kicked and threw her Hiraikotsu at me. I tried to doge it, but it nicked me on the arm. "Well I'm here whenever you're ready to talk."

I recovered from the blow and shot an arrow at her. It grazed her leg and she fell to the ground in pain. I quickly healed her leg.

"GOOD JOB, HIGURASHI!" The coach yelled over to me. I nodded in thanks and walked with Sango to the girls locker room.

We changed out of our sparring clothes and into our school uniforms.

"Well I'm here whenever you're ready to talk"

Sangos words kept replaying in my head. Perhaps because I really needed someone there for me? Maybe I would tell Sango.. but not now. I still wasn't ready. The only person I wanted to talk to right now was Souta. I had to push away my needs for the time being.

'He needs me more than ever.'
