She's Lookin Through Me
Chapter Seven – Awkward Much?
By Patche
Disclaimer – Inuyasha isn't mine… (Le sadness)
Summary – A girl who moves to a new school to be with her cousin, Utada Yuki. Yuki is the most popular boy in his whole school, so, thanks to him, Kagome is granted with that same luxury. In her new school, she has grabbed the attention of every boy... even our favorite hanyou. Rated-T for some cussing and minor limeyness?

Kagome and Inuyasha sat in the ice cream parlor across from Miroku and Sango. The two couldn't find words to say. Ever since the accidental kiss… they couldn't say a thing. Miroku and Sango had noticed it. It had been a week since Kagome's date and they still weren't talking.
'But they don't mind sitting next to each other every minute of every day… They just can't talk.' Sango thought with an annoyed expression. Miroku grabbed her hand from under the booth and shot her a small smile. Sango graciously returned the smile and looked at Kagome.
"Hey, Kagome." The girl shot her head up at the sudden sound and looked at Sango.
"Do you want to go shopping? Miroku wants to hang out with his cousin alone…" She said smiling slyly. Kagome nodded and looked at Inuyasha. However, once she saw he was looking at her, she quickly averted her eyes.
'Gosh, they're like school kids.' Sango thought at the interaction between them. She sighed ad picked up her keys from off the table. Miroku leaned in and kissed her cheek before she stood up from the booth. Kagome did the same.
"Alright, well… we'll see you guys tomorrow…" Sango said as the two girls left the building.
Inuyasha watched and waited until Kagome was completely gone.
"Keh. Women and their shopping addictions…" He mumbled. He caught a glimpse of Kagome outside the window, walking. The sun was beaming down on her giving her ebony hair highlights in just the right spots. He sighed dreamily.
"Inuyasha!"
His name quickly tore him from his daze.
"Yea…yea?" He asked, blushing. He didn't realize some one had caught him staring at Kagome. Miroku sighed.
"Tell me you're not falling for her." Miroku said desperately. Inuyasha looked at the table in front of him, not saying a word.
"Inuyasha…" Miroku frowned. "Do you know how horrible it is for you? You're never going to be with her… I mean her cousin is Utada Yuki and she's going out with Suzuki Kouga!" Inuyasha sighed and slapped his palm to his face, letting it pull his face down with it as he looked back at Miroku.
"You say that like I didn't know. I'm well aware of how little a shot I have with Kagome. And I've been trying to fight these feelings ever since I met her… but…" He trailed off. "I can't help it anymore. I realized it the other night when she kissed me…" Miroku raised an eyebrow.
"She what?" He asked. Inuyasha blushed and shook his head.
"I…it was an accidental kiss… we just managed to accidentally brush our lips together… that's all…" He said. Miroku nodded.
"So… you like the girl every guy wants." Miroku said to put it simply. Inuyasha shook his head.
"No, Miroku…" He sighed and shifted his gaze from the table up to his cousin. "I'm in love with the girl every guy wants."

They had been at the mall for almost an hour now and Kagome had done nothing but look at clothes. Sango continuously tried to mention Inuyasha but Kagome avoided the subject all together.
"Kagome what happen-" Sango tried for what seemed to be the thousandth time that evening but she was cut off as Kagome pulled a random mini skirt out from the racks.
"How about this one, it's cute, huh?" She asked quickly. Sango sighed.
"Yes, it's cute, Kagome… bu-"
"Alright, well I'll go try it on!" Kagome said rushing to the dressing room. Sango sighed.
'Why doesn't she want to talk about it? Something serious must have happened…' Sango thought as she walked over to the door Kagome was behind.
"Kagome, about Inu-" She was cut off as the cute mini skirt flew up from over the door and hit her in the face.
"I'm a size smaller, Sango… you think you could find one for me?" Kagome asked from behind the door. Sango furrowed her brow and pushed the door open. Kagome gasped as her friend came tumbling into the room.
Kagome was still fully clothed… and just standing there trying to pass the time.
"S…sango?" Kagome asked. Sango stood up and grabbed Kagome by the shoulders.
"What happened at the movie theater?!" She asked finally getting the question out. Kagome's eyed widened for a moment, before she tore her gaze from Sango and looked at the ground.
"I… I accidentally kissed him…" She said. Sango gasped.
"What… how? But Kouga…" Sango couldn't make words up. She wasn't expecting that. Kagome sighed and looked at Sango again.
"I don't know. Kouga thinks we're together but we're not…"
"Then what's the problem?" Sango asked.
"Well… I think I ruined my friendship with Inuyasha." Sango sighed and hugged Kagome.
"Why would you say that?" She asked, embracing her friend. Kagome let some tears fall from her eyes.
"Because he won't talk to me or anything… Sango. It was an accident…" Sango nodded and pat Kagome's back.
"Don't worry, okay?" She said softly. Kagome looked up at the audience they had. She'd figured they must have gathered after Sango busted down the dressing room door. Sango let go of Kagome and turned around as well.
"Are they lesbians?" Sango heard one girl ask. Sango rolled her eyes.
"Come on, Kagome." She said leaving the store with Kagome behind her. They walked until they reached a juice stand close to the cafeteria.
"So… is there anything else wrong?" Sango asked handing Kagome her juice. Kagome just shook her head and took a sip through the straw.
"What do you mean?" She asked as Sango grabbed her own juice and sat down beside Kagome at a large table.
"Well… do you have any feelings for Inuyasha?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. Kagome's face turned bright red.
"Uhh… no… I don't…" She sighed. "I don't know. He's a really great guy… it's just…" Kagome sighed and shook her head. "I dunno, never mind…" Sango nodded.
"Well, if you want my advice… I'd say try to talk it out. Explain that it was an accident and I'm sure he'll understand. Get him alone sometime outside of school after you've sorted through your feelings and then just tell him…" Kagome blinked.
"So, you're saying I should go on a date with him… to explain to him that the kiss was accidental?" She asked. Sango nodded. "Well first I have to end this thing Kouga thinks we have…"
"Alright! Well… let's hope you figure out your feelings in about a month." Sango said smiling. Kagome cocked her head to the side.
"A month?" She asked. Sango nodded.
"In a month, Miroku and I are celebrating our anniversary… so we'll need to be alone. Then you two can have your privacy." Kagome laughed.

"Well… you know what I think you should do, Inuyasha?" Miroku and Inuyasha were driving home from the ice cream shop. Inuyasha turned to look at him.
"What?" He asked, curiously.
"Even if it's farfetched… if Kagome's worth the risk of rejection to you then I'd say you should tell her." Inuyasha blushed crazily.
"Tell her?!" He asked. "Hell it was hard enough telling you!" Miroku felt a sly smile coming on as he looked at his dearest cousin.
"Either you tell her… or I do." Inuyasha paled. "And trust me… women prefer to be told first hand." Inuyasha nodded.
"So… what do I do?"
AN – Ooh wow. You guys are amazing. Thank you so much for the reviews. There were a few that I actually was so happy to read. I'm glad you guys all comment about Yuki. He's quite the character, huh? And OMgosh! I smell an Inuyasha and Kagome fluffy chapter… coming. Soon? Ah… if only things were so simple, right? Heh. Anyway, I hope you liked. This was kind of a filler chapter for things to come soon… so… just to get some insight as to who feels what for who. I had to make Inuyasha fall in love with Kagome first. I'm sorry. It's been about three weeks… you can fall in love in three weeks, yes?
By the way… today I'm officially 16 (wooty) Soo umm that might explain the constant updating heh.
Review please… even if it's about something I did wrong… I love reviews.
Love always,
Patche
