The Spot

Chapter 4: Stupid, Dumb, Jerk

"Mom! I'm home!" I shouted.

"I'm in the kitchen honey!" She replied. I went into the kitchen and saw… my mom cooking…lots and lots of food?

"Mom? What are you doing?"

"Cooking dear."

"I know grandpa eats a lot but not this much!"

She laughed, "Oh, don't be silly! It's not just grandpa eating with us today… the Takahashis are coming too!" she had a big grin on her face.

For the millionth time today I stood there shocked… "WHAT?!?" I screamed, "But… but…but! Mom! How… could… what? Is it just Mrs. Takahashi…right?"

"Of course not honey! Inuyasha is coming too and I believe he is bringing over his girlfriend…"

"… gr..great?" I said sarcastically and walked off.

"What's wrong? You and Inuyasha use to be best friends! I remember when you guys use to take baths together in your little bathing suits!" she squealed, I started to walk away not wanting to hear anymore. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going for a walk."

"Okay! Be back before 5:00. They should be here around 5:30."

I put on my shoes, I also decided to get my bow and arrows from the garage. Then I went straight to the spot. I went through an abandoned playground and through many trees. When I got there it was empty and quiet. I took my bow and an arrow and aimed at a near by tree. I concentrated on that one spot and thought one emotion… Anger.

I let go of the arrow and tried to control it with all my strength. The arrow was going in a straight line for a second, but the next it burst into flames!

"Stupid Inuyasha! Why did you have to say all those things! Why did you have to come back! Why do you have to love someone else…" I asked myself. Because he hates you…

…Flash back…

"Kagome! Look!" said a nine year old Inuyasha. I looked were he was pointing. It turned out to be a small carving in our spot. I looked closely at it. "I carved it in myself!" he told me proudly.

"Umm… Inuyasha?" I blushed, "what does it say?" He looked at me confused. Then pointed to each word.

"See, Kagome this word say friends and this one is forever! And both our names are written below it!"

Friends forever!

Kagome and Inuyasha

"Oh! I see it now Inuyasha!" I grinned at him. "I hope that will be true forever! I don't think I can imagine life would be without you Inuyasha, you're my best friend! And we will always be best friends because we love each other, right?"

He laughed, "Yes, we will be friends forever because we love each other!"

He came up to me and hugged me and I hugged him back.

…end of flashback…

I sighed and walked up to the little carving. Now I can see it perfectly, each and every word. I guess we jinxed it.

I took another arrow and this time I thought of the emotion happiness. The emotion I had lost five years ago. The arrow turned into a beautiful light and the old dead tree I was aiming at became new and alive once again.

At 5:00 I went back home. I went upstairs, took a shower, and got ready for supper. I looked at my arm that Kikyou had attempted to burn this afternoon. There was just a bruises there, nothing big. But then I looked down my arm to see more bruises! What happened?

…Flashback…

Kikyou laughed, "Had enough?" I sat still. "I guess not!" she then surrounded me with the glowing blue light and lifted me off the bench. "This is for almost hitting me with that dumb volleyball!"

I tried to use my own powers to release myself from the grasp I was in, but it didn't work! I felt myself being swing back very fast and all of a sudden I was let go like I was being thrown.

…End of flashback…

I guess her grasp had bruised me… Oh well. Then I heard the door bell and the next thing I knew…

"Oh, Sakura! Thanks for coming!" I heard my mom say (Sakura is Mrs. Takahashi's first name). "Inuyasha! Look at you, you've grown since the last time I've seen you."

They are here…

"Oh and who might this be?" I heard my mom ask.

"I'm Kikyou, Inuyasha's girlfriend," introduced Kikyou.

"Great! Let me just go get Kagome and we can eat. Please, help yourself to anything in the house," she told them. I heard my mother coming up the stairs. "Honey, don't be rude come downstairs and have supper with us. And hurry up."

I sighed. This is going to be very interesting…

- - -

"Hello, Kagome! Why don't you like pretty!" greeted Sakura. I smiled and sat down beside my mother.

"Oh, Kagome. You never told use how your first day was!" my mom announced.

I groaned, "It was okay…" I looked down, not wanting to make eye contact. I picked up my chopsticks and began to eat, little by little.

"Yeah, mom. Did I tell you, Kagome and I were in all the same A classes?" Inuyasha told the table.

"Oh, yes Kagome is very smart indeed!" Kikyou included. She put on her fakest smile ever, but ignored the comments and I kept on eating.

My mom continued, "Yes, she's very smart. At her old schools she was top of her class. And teachers would call home telling me all her achievements. I'm very proud of her!" I looked up at them and smiled, then began to eat bits and pieces of the meal.

"Kagome was always a smart girl when she was growing up. Oh, do you remember the time her and Inuyasha would have spelling bees for fun? It was so cute." laughed Mrs. Takahashi. I shrank down into my chair. I hate all this attention!

"Oh, yeah! Do you remember when Kagome broke her arm and Inuyasha was so worried about her! I never knew he was so sensitive!" exclaimed my mom.

"Yes, yes. He couldn't sleep at night because he was so worried. And I remembered that Inuyasha tried to bake a cake for her, as a get well gift. It didn't turn out very pretty… and boy did he make a mess!"

I looked over at Inuyasha but he was too busy talking to Kikyou to noticed what our parents were talking about.

Then I heard my mom say, "Remember when Inuyasha purposed to Kagome?"

"WHAT?" shouted Kikyou. I winced at the painful sound. Inuyasha and I made eye contact.

"Kikyou! She made me do it! Said it would be fun to play house, but first we had to get married," Inuyasha explained.

I can't believe that jerk! He lied! I looked around and saw that everyone was laughing at me. I was so embarrassed at that moment. So I did the first thing that came into my mind. I got up from the table and ran to the door.

"Kagome!" I heard my mom yell for me. But I kept going.

- - -

I had know idea where I was going. All I knew was it had to be away from that house. I passes many houses and stores. But in the end, I ended up where I always seem to go back to. To the place that made my life a mess in the first place. The spot.

The once happy spot was now, gloomier then ever. The sky above the trees were grey and cloudy. The air was cold and clutched to my body like a body suit. I couldn't get rid of the coldness. Hugging myself I fell until I was sitting on the damp ground. I pulled my knees up to my chest and began to cry.

…flash back…

"Inuyasha what is so important?" I asked him

"Kagome! I told you I can't tell you until we get to the spot" he told me, in his cute little ten year old voice, while he dragged me to the spot.

When we got there. I saw a nice little picnic set. It was a perfect day for a picnic. The sun was shining the grass and trees were green, the birds were chirping, and Inuyasha was there with me.

He sat me down and began to talk non-stop about stuff. He told me that I was his best friend, that maybe some day we could travel the world together, and that if I ever wanted anything or needed anything just tell him.

And he went on and on.

Inuyasha and I made a great pair because he was the talker and I was always the listener.

"Kagome… we've known each other for alone time…" he paused, "And you are my best friend ever! I was just wondering…" he pulled out a small square box. "I wanted to know will you marry me?" he looked directly into my eyes with lots of passion and love. I smiled at him.

"Yes!" I giggled. Then I tackled him to the ground and kissed him right on the cheek.

"Ew! Kagome cooties!" he teased.

"That was not nice! I'm your future wife!" I told him. I crossed my little arms and turned away from him.

"I'm sorry!" and he hugged me.

I laughed, "You're forgiven!"

- - -

I still had the ring… stupid, dumb jerk! I wiped away the tears.

"Kagome? Are you here?" someone said. Oh, no who's there? I should hide! Then out of no where I see Inuyasha. "I knew you'd be here."

I quickly got up and try to run away… but he stopped me.

He grabbed my forearm and pulled me close to him. Making sure I was looking directly into his eyes.

"Why did you just walk out like that?" he rudely asked me. I winced. He saw my pain expression and lifted up my sleeve. To see large bruises all over my arm… "Who did this to you?" he asked.

I shook our of his grip and took a couple steps back. I was now rubbing on to the spot he had grabbed. "Why do you care who did this to me?" I paused, "Why are you here in the first place? Aren't you worried that your poor little Kikyou will get bored without you In my poor little house!"

He ignored what I had said. "Everyone is worried and they all wanted to come out and find you, okay? It wasn't my idea! But, I told them to stay because I might have known where the hell you ran off too! So it looks like its your fault why I'm here. And again I was right." He smirked.

"Shut up," I said coldly. "I don't really care… You've found me! Now leave me alone…" I told him. He stood there, not moving an inch. The was an awkward silence. Oh no I was going to cry! "You told me you never wanted to see me. So why do you care if I ran off. Why would you even care if I had died! Remember, Inuyasha, I was the girl that walked out on you! I am the girl that made your 'oh so perfect' life miserable!" I cried out.

"Kagome…" he whispered, ignoring everything I just said "I remember… this was the place we first meet. This place holds so many memories. You know… after you left I came here everyday for two weeks hoping you'd come back…dumb right?"

I stood there shock.

"…What can I do Kagome? What do you want me to do? Just forgive you for leaving me? How can I? I was in so much pain when you left. I felt alone and I was scared that I'd never see you again. And now that your are back… it has been five years! After the second year had past I… gave up. How can I forgive you, Kagome?" he was staring deep into my eyes.

"Just forget me Inuyasha… then you won't have to forgive me. I'm not worth your time, anyways…" I told him and walked away.
