Again: I don't own anything. i cri every tiem.
"Kagome!"
Kagome kept her head down and didn't respond to Inuyasha.
"Kagome, what's wrong? I saw what happened on Shik-"
She whirled around. "I don't want to talk about that. If you don't believe me, fine. But it's the fucking truth!"
Inuyasha took a step closer to her. "I know it's the truth!" he told her. "You're not a slut, I know that. I'm sorry for what happened. You never deserved that."
Kagome looked up at him, eyes locking with his. And then, unexpectedly, she burst into tears.
Inuyasha pulled her to him, hugging her protectively. For a few minutes, they just stood there, enjoying the feel of being in each other's arms, when…
"Hey, Inuyashaaaa!" Kikyo stepped in, drawing out Inuyasha's name. Kagome almost cringed at the look she gave him. Was it supposed to be creepy or seductive? Kagome didn't know, and she definitely didn't want to stick around to find out, either.
"Can you not?" Inuyasha asked her snidely. "Kagome and I are in the middle of something. So we'd both really appreciate it if you just... you know..."
He coughed, making his intention totally clear.
But Kikyo, like the airhead she is, did not take the hint.
"Come on, Yashie!" she squealed, yanking Kagome's arms from him, and shoving her away before stepping into Inuyasha's side. "We have stuff to do without this little whore."
Inuyasha's ear twitched angrily at her words.
"Stop it, Kikyo," Kagome said softly. "Don't.. please don't call me a whore."
Kikyo laughed. "And you think you have control over me why?"
She slapped Kagome across the face. Kagome felt her temper flare instantly. She straightened and glared at her rival, saying, "You know, I barely felt that. Barely."
"Don't you fucking touch her ever again!" Inuyasha snarled.
Kikyo flinched slightly before glaring at Kagome and stomping off.
Inuyasha stuck his middle finger up at Kikyo's retreating figure and turned to Kagome.
"Come on, Kags. Let's go," he said. "We've got better things to do, and you don't need her in your life anymore."
After school, both Inuyasha and Kagome went their respective ways and opened up their laptops.
Inuyasha waited patiently for hell to break loose while Kagome read all her new notifications.
The ones at the beginning were hurtful, but then they seemed to get less harsh until they stopped altogether.
After looking around a bit in confusion, Kagome finally understood why.
Inuyasha Takahashi: Kagome didn't even do anything wrong. Whoever the hell this hacker is, they sure don't have a life if they're gonna hack into some innocent person's account. And all of you who are smothering shit all over her face - grow the fuck up, will you? You guys believe every little fucking thing you hear, and it's disgusting. You don't even know her, yet you are telling her to kill herself? Some piece of shit you are. Don't even think about continuing your little rants on her page, got it? Or I'll personally make your life hell. Don't fuckin think I won't.
Kagome smiled to herself, and sent Inuyasha a private message.
Ding!
Inuyasha sat up instantly, surprised and happy to see that the notification was a message from Kagome.
Kagome Higurashi: Hey, Inuyasha, I was just reading your message about me. Thanks for standing up for me- it really means a lot. See you tomorrow:)
Inuyasha grinned. It means a lot to her…
He replied to her, asking if she found out who the hacker was.
Kagome Higurashi: Yeah.
Inuyasha Takahashi: Well? Are you gonna tell me?
Kagome Higurashi: I don't know if I'm… supposed to.
Inuyasha Takahashi: What's that supposed to mean?
Kagome Higurashi: It means that I might get into trouble if I tell you.
Inuyasha Takahashi: Well… alright. But if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here, okay?
Kagome Higurashi: Thanks, Inuyasha. I really appreciate that, as well as you being here for me.
Inuyasha Takahashi: Keh. Whatever, wench.
Kagome smiled to herself. No matter what he says to me, it's never meant to be mean.
And Inuyasha smiled to himself as well. She's so adorable… what!
His cheeks burned with that thought he just had of Kagome.
I can't… like her, can I?
Then he rethought that.
On second thought… yes, I can.
