Secret Love

Chapter 7: Secrets

Kagome sat silently at her desk in homeroom. Mrs. Yamota rambling on about chemistry.

She tapped her fingers rapidly and in rhythm on the desk.

Kikyo and her clique sat behind her, practically glaring daggers through her skull. She sighed and looked down at her new school uniform. She smiled at the fond memory of how it had come to be.

Flashback:

Kagome sat in the kitchen, trying to prepare some sort of meal for her little brother. He sat in a chair at the table, trying his best to finish his math homework. She smiled and sat down beside him.

There was a knock at the door. She stood up and walked over to the barely-hanging door.

She opened it up and smiled at the post man standing there.

"I have a special package for Miss Kagome Higurashi." The man said. Kagome smiled and nodded. He handed her the package he had been carrying and bowed to her.

"Arigato!" She said as she bowed to him and shut the door as he walked off. She brought the package into the kitchen.

"What's that?" Souta asked, looking up from his homework.

"Im not sure, someone sent me a package." She said as she grabbed some scissors and sliced the tape.

She opened the flaps of the box and looked inside.

Inside held a perfect condition school uniform. She let out and amused sigh and sat the uniform on the table. She burrowed her eyebrows together as she saw an envelope at the bottom of the box. She pulled it out and read the front.

"To Kagome" was written in cursive letters.

She smiled and picked up the uniform. She grabbed the box and walked back into her room.

Tossing the box across the room, she plopped down on her bed. She gently opened the envelope and read it to herself.

"Kagome…I want to invite you to come stay at my house. After seeing your house, I don't think that kind of home suits someone of your kind…Please, accept this offer.

Signed,

Inuyasha Takahashi

P.S) Your little brother can come, too."

She giggled and leaned against the wall where the beds backboard would have been.

Inuyasha looked around outside during his lunch period. Kagome had yet to answer his request. He knew she had gotten the package because she was wearing the uniform. He finally spotted her under a tree reading a book.

"Kagome?" he said as he walked up to her.

She looked up and gasped. "Inuyasha! What are you doing?! We cant be seen together at school!" she said looking around frantically for any signs of people watching them.

He knelt down so he was eye level with her. "Don't be such a worrier. I just came to see about you, that's all."

She blushed and looked down at her lap. "Why would you want to know if I was okay?' she asked shyly.

"Oh, I don't know, maybe because I like you." He said sarcastically as he leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips.

A girl watching from on top of the school gasped as she saw him kissing Kagome.

"KIKYO! WE HAVE A PROBLEM!" the girl said frantically.

"What is it Kanna?" Kikyo said, strolling casually over to her.

"Look!" Kanna shrieked as she pointed down at the couple. Kikyo's jaw dropped.

"…Who kissed first?" Kagura asked walking up to them.

"He did!" Kanna said unbelievably.

"That little rat…they'll both pay, big time…" Kikyo said evilly as she turned away from the scene.

Kagome forced herself to draw back from him, no matter what her brain said.

"Inuyasha!" she whispered sternly. "What if someone saw that?! Your dateing Kikyo remember?" She said sadly.

"Don't remind me…" Inuyasha moaned as he flopped down on the grass beside her.

"Well, if you hate it that much, then dump her."

"Its not that easy…my parents love her, they'd be devastated if they lost their little Kikyo…" he said rolling his eyes.

She laughed and crossed her legs. She subconsciously reached her right arm up and rubbed her left shoulder. He noticed it and sat up.

"Kagome, what's wrong with you arm? Its bruised, and your always rubbing it."

She sighed and pulled the her left arm out of the shirt. It had bruises all over the shoulder blade, along with a scar.

"Did someone do this to you?" Inuyasha said, growling slightly. She nodded and sighed.

"But it's nothing you need to worry about…I handled him a long time ago…"

Kagome sat with Sango at lunch 5 days later.

"So, you kissed him, huh?" Sango said poking her best friend in the arm. Kagome giggled and slapped her hand away.

"Yah, and?" She laughed. She sighed and cocked her head. "I wonder why he didn't come to school today…"

"He could be sick." Sango said with a shrug.

"He was fine the other day…" Kagome said confused.

Someone wearing a pair of black jeans, a black hoodie (with the hood up), and a pair or black Nike's sat down beside Kagome.

Sango and Kagome exchanged confused looks.

"Uh, hello?" Kagome said eyeing the person carefully.

"Don't recognize me?" the person laughed.

Kagome sat there for a minute before the voice registered in her head. She threw her arms around him. "What are you doing here?! Why didn't you come to school?!"

"I broke up with Kikyo, she's pissed…im hiding, so I didn't come to school." He said shrugging. "But I wanted to come see you." He smiled at her. She couldn't see him very well, since the hoodie was blacking out his face, but it didn't matter.

"Y…you broke up with Kikyo?" she asked unbelievably.

He nodded and allowed some sun to hit his face, just so she could see his smile. She smiled at him and cocked her head. He chuckled and stood up.

"Here," he said as he pulled out an envelope, "Come here after school, okay?"

She nodded and took the paper.

"OoOoOo! Whats that?!" Sango said almost climbing over the table to see the letter.

"Its his address, he wants me to meet him in the garden behind his house…."
