Chapter 6: Confesssions
That monday at school inuyasha was nowhere to be found. Kagome looked for him before school and every class, he was nowhere. Kagome walked the halls in silence staring down until someone called her name.
"Kagome whats wrong with you? i have never seen you this down before." said Sango as she put a hand on kagome's shoulder.
Kagome barley looked up at her friend.
"i dont know sango...is inuyasha avoiding me? did i do something wrong?" kagome said in a low depressed voice
Her friend stared at her with concerned eyes and started to say something but stopped when she say silver hair down the hallway.
"Hey i have to go kags..." she said as she hugged her friend and scurried in the opposite direction.
"But Sango! Where-" She started as she glanced up and saw the all to familar silver hair of inuasha walking down the hallway.
"Inuyasha!" she called and ran toward him.
Inuyasha looked at her for a moment as she ran and turned a corner leaving kagome's sight.
"Inuyasha wait!!" she called as she ran faster.
Kagome reached the hall seconds later and looked around frantically down the hall of busy students, the silvered haired boy nowhere in sight. Kagome breathed hard and deep to keep from crying as she continued to scan the hallway knowing he wasnt there.
"Inuyasha..." she whispered "What did i do?"
"Damnit! that was to close" Inuyasha said silently as he hid in a broom closet.
"I knew it wasnt going to be easy staying away from her...but this is rediculious!" he yelled.
He looked down at the floor.
"But i cant risk hurting her...not after what happened to..." he stopped and cursed under his breath as he continued to stare at the ground.
"Why does she have to look like kikiyo? Why..."
Kagome walked to her last class in silence as she stared at her feet.
"Why is this effecting me so hard? i barley know him? i cant possible be in...i have to stop! i cant let my emotions be controled so easily..." kagome thought to herself as she entered the class.
She didnt even bother looking around to see if he was there...she didnt feel like getting another serge of disappointment when she didnt see is silver hair and golden yellow eyes. Kagome sat in the back of the classs like she had done all day and stared out the window not paying attention to a word the teacher said. She tried to remember what she might of done at the party but it was just a huge blur to her. She sighed and decided to pay attetion to the teacher to keep inuyasha out of her mind. Kagome only heard every other word the tracher said as she started to doodling random pctures on her note pad again. The bell suddenly rang making kagome jump in her seat. The people behind her stared for a moment before she glared at them and gathered her things.
Suddenly someone came running into the classroom tripping overthemselfs running toward kagome at full speed.
"Rin?! what's wrong-"
"You have to get outside! now! its Inuyasha and Naraku!" she said cutting kagome off.
Kagome's eyes widened as she shoved her books into her bag and ran after Rin to the courtyard.
There was a huge crowd gathered around the middle of the courtyard staring intently, even teachers wernt even atempting to try and break up the fight. Kagome ran across the back of the circle looking for a way to get int o see what was going on. She cound hear people running and bodies hitting the ground repeatly and then getting back up only for the other body to be hurled ontot he ground. Kagome fianally gave up and pushed her way through the crowd toward the action.Kagome imeidatly saw inuyasha glaring at naraku with a slight animal theme to them as naraku just smiled smugly at him.
"Aww...what's wrong inuyasha? getting tired?" he laughed as he walked toward inuasha.
Inuyasha held his ground and his normaly golden yellow eyes grew a red tint to them.
"Shut the hell up naruaku! Ka..." Inuyasha stopped when he saw kagome standing ont he sidelines staring at him.
Naraku followed his stare and his smile grew and spread across his face that seemed to carry so much evil it made kagome's spine shver. But who the hell where they arguing about?
"Well inuyasha, look who's here." He said as his gaze locked with kagome's.
Inuyasha snapped his head back around and glared at naraku.
"Stay the hell away from her dickface! Inuyasha snarled his expression now filled with hate as he took a step toward nauaku.
Naraku just continued to stare at kagome totally ignoring inuyasha as he took a step toward her. Kagome could move. She wanted to run, but she was paralyzed with fear as if nauaku's gaze keep her there.
"Naraku!" Inuasha yelled as he glaced from nauaku to kagome's terrified face.
"Why dont you just end her now inuyasha? Wouldnt that just make things so much easier for you?" Naraku said ina even tone as he continued to aproach kagome.
Inuyasha bared his teeth and matched naraku's stride toward kagome. The round began to back up away from the aproching boys leaving kagome standing int he open...totaly vunerable...
"You wont? Then let me!" Naraku said as he charged full speed at kagome. Inuasha did the same. Kagome saw nauaku only inches away from her and a single scream was heard over the gasp of the student body.
Kagome onstintly put her hands over her face and waiting a few seconds but pain never came. She opened her eyes to see inuyasha in front of her with a puddle of blood at his feet.
Naraku pulled away from inuyasha and frowned.
"Risking your life for a stupid girl? A human at that?! you really are pathetic inuyasha..." He said as he continued to back up and disapeared into the shadow of trees behind the school.
Kagome stared wide eyed at the blood puddle still growing at inuasha's feet. Suddenly inuyasha collapsed into his warm puddle of blood.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled as she dropped to her knees and shook inuyasha. The student body finally ran into the scene and pulled the crying and screaming kagome away from inuyasha.
"INUYASHAAAAAA!!!"
Kagome stood in the waiting room for five hours waiting on the news of inuyasha condition. Kagome was sipping sheepishly on a cup of coffee when the doctor came out. Kagome jumped up quickly and waiting for him to adress her.
"Are you Miss Kagome?" he said as he stared a chart.
"Kagome nodded and held the warm cup in her hands tighter feeling the warmth of the coffee.
"Inuyasha had to get fifteen stitched in his chest but luckly no vital nerves or organs were damaged so inuyasha should make a full recovery." The doctor smiled warmly at his last comment making kagome feel a little better. "You can see him if you want"
Kagome smiled and nodded quickly.
"The doctor smiled warmly and lead her down a hallway and stopped in front of room 342.
"This is his room. But dont talk to long. He need plenty of rest. okay?"
Kagome nodded and the doctor opened the door for her and she walked in.
Kagome could hear the steady constant beep of his heart monitor. Kagome got closer t his bed and bit her lip slightly. He was so beauiful even as he slept. Kagome sat in the chair closest to his side and decided to just wait for him to wake up.
"Kagome...?" Inuyasha said only seconds after she sat down.
"I-Inuyasha!" Kagome said looking at inuyasha as her eyes started to water.
"Im so sorry inuyasha! It's all my fault! if i hadn't just sat there...you...-"
Inuyasha put up a hand to silence her and sat up in his head and pushed his feet off so he was standing up next to her.
"Kagome...what i did was my choice...And i dont regret it at all." he said simply.
"B-but i dont understand...why would you risk you life...for me?" Kagome said wiping fresh tears from her eyes.
"You dont see why i did what i did?"
Kagome shook her head and stared into inyasha's golden eyes.
Inuyasha grabbed her face gently and kissed her lips softly.
"Because im falling in love with you Kagome..."
