Chapter 9 – Making Up
"Did you here that Makoto and Yuki are going out?" Ayame's friend Hikari confided with the group of girls. "He can do soooo much better!"
"I know! She's all like, quiet and stuff. If she can get a boyfriend, then why can't I?" Kazumi joined in the conversation.
"How about you Ayame? Any boys ask you out lately?" Hikari nudged the girl.
"You're like, the prettiest girl in school! What boy wouldn't ask you out?" Kazumi rolled her eyes.
"I'm not all that great. Besides, none of these guys are interesting. Too boring for my taste," Ayame poked at the disgusting heap of crap her mom called "a healthy lunch". "Somebody trade food with me! My mom is trying to starve me!"
"Shhh! It's those gangsters!" The girls eyed a group of high school boys that passed them, not saying a word.
"Did you hear that they got their asses kicked by one guy? Finally someone stands up to those low lives!" Hikari glared at the boys.
"Yeah I here like, the guy was so strong that he sent like, fifty of those idiots to the hospital!" Kazumi noisily chewed on her gum.
"Apparently, the guy took down their leader with one punch. I hear he's super hot. Ayu told me that her friend's brother knows one of the gangsters that saw him and she said he had really long jet black hair and sexy dark eyes."
Ayame poked at her food. Sounds like Inuyasha.
"I like, heard that like, there was a huge fight a couple days ago and like it was between the same gangsters and the same guy. Do you like, think it's true?"
I haven't seen Inuyasha in a few days. What if he… Ayame put away her food and grabbed her bag. "I just remembered I have to go to work early today. Can't be late!"
"What about your afternoon classes?" Hikari looked at her friend skeptically. "You're just ditching to go on a date with some guy, huh?"
"I am not! I just have work obligations. If Mr. Baldy asks where I went, tell him I had a family emergency, okay?" Ayame flung her bag over her shoulder and winked at her friends, "I promise, I'll make it up to you guys!"
"You have to buy us lunch tomorrow!" Hikari called after the girl as she hurried away.

Kagome sat on the floor with her back still pressed up against the wall. Her cheeks were dark scarlet and she breathed heavily. Did he really just kiss me? Inuyasha's arms still pinned her to the wall and he said nothing. Kagome glanced up at him, but quickly looked away. I feel so embarrassed! What do I do? Ask him to get off of me? Kiss him again?
"Do you really think that?" Inuyasha's voice distracted her from her thoughts.
"What do you mean?" Kagome kept her eyes on the ground.
"What you just said. Do you really think you're that pathetic?"
"I, uh…" Kagome tried to remember everything she had said just moments ago, but her head was so foggy. "I guess so…"
"You're such an idiot," Inuyasha released his grip on the girl.
Kagome glared at him, "What do you mean 'idiot'?"
"You calling yourself worthless, it just pisses me off for some reason." Inuyasha looked into her eyes. "I'm sorry for getting you involved with that Koga jerk. Don't blame yourself for what happened. Besides, I'm absolutely fine."
"What about your back?" Kagome didn't believe him. "Koga hit you pretty hard. Have you gone to a doctor yet?"
"I don't need too. Let's just say, my body heals pretty fast." Inuyasha smirked. "As if that damn wolf could put a lethal blow on me!"
Kagome cracked a smile. "I guess you're right."
"So, are you still mad at me?"
"No, not really. Just a bit… confused."
"Confused? About what?"
"Well for one, why did you kiss me?" Kagome blushed at her own question. What am I saying?
Inuyasha's face turned red and he looked away, "I, uh… I just…"
"Just what?" Kagome waited for an answer.
"Sorry… I didn't really know what I was doing." Inuyasha leaned away from her, just realizing that she was still pressed up against the wall.
"Are you saying you did it on accident?" Kagome felt her heart drop.
"No!" He noticed the distressed look on the girl's face, "It's not like I didn't want to do it. My body just kind of acted on its own. Sorry if it made you uncomfortable…"
Kagome shook her head, "I was actually kind of happy when you…" She blushed again. Why can't I learn to keep my mouth shut?
"You were happy?" Inuyasha stared at the girl. Kagome opened her mouth to say some lame excuse, but she stopped herself. Why should I lie and say I wasn't? Inuyasha leaned in closer, causing the girl to press up against the wall again. His lips lightly pressed against hers and in response, Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck, gladly accepting the kiss. I don't think I've ever felt this happy.
"W-What's going on here?" The two looked up and saw Ayame standing in the doorway, her mouth gaping. Kagome pushed off the shocked Inuyasha and stood up.
"It's not what it looks like! I was just… Um… Wow, look at the time! Sango must be wondering where I am. Gotta go!" Kagome bolted out the door, her face feeling like it was on fire. Why are we always interrupted?
Inuyasha stood up and glared at the pig-tailed red head, "Why are you here?"
"I came to check in on you, but I see you've been doing just fine." Ayame giggled. "What the heck happened between you two?"
"None of your business. You can leave now," Inuyasha politely gestured toward the door.
"Were you the one who got in that fight with the Wolf Gang leader?" Ayame asked, ignoring his request. "You're that guy, right?"
Inuyasha scratched his head and shrugged, "More or less."
"KYAAAAA!" Ayame jumped up and down excitedly.
Inuyasha jumped back in shock. "Why the hell are you screaming?"
"Take me to see Koga!" Ayame pulled on his arm, "You know where he is, right?"
"Like hell I do!" Inuyasha pulled his arm away from the ecstatic teenager.
"But you said you were the guy that fought against him." Ayame pouted.
"I was, but I'm not friends with that jackass."
"You're so mean! But he's going to come back and fight you again, right?"
"Probably, and next time he shows his ugly face around, I'll-" Inuyasha was stopped by the furious Ayame slamming her schoolbag in his face.
"How dare you say he's ugly! Koga is the handsomest guy I've ever seen!" Ayame blushed, "Isn't he just wonderful?"
"I'd really appreciate it if you left now." Inuyasha rubbed his aching face.
"Inuyasha you have to promise to call me the next time you and Koga see each other!"
"Why don't you just go find him on your own? The next time I see him, he's dead!"
"If I could find him, I wouldn't be here right now and you'd still be making out with Kagome!" Ayame smirked, "I'll just be going now, but remember to inform me the next time you and Koga meet up. Sorry for interrupting, you should really keep your door closed."

"And he kissed you?" Sango stared at her friend in amazement.
"Yeah. I was just as shocked as you," Kagome blushed and fiddled with her coffee mug.
"The Inuyasha I've known since Junior high… Kissed you?" Sango shook her head, "You must be pretty special to him."
"What do you mean," Kagome leaned in closer to her friend.
"He was really popular with the girls back in school, but he never cared for any of them. He only had one girlfriend before you, and I never met her. They weren't even together for that long."
His girlfriend must have been that maid… Kagome thought to herself.
"So, are you guys going out?" Sango smirked at her.
"I don't really know. After he kissed me the second time, I was pretty sure that-"
"He kissed you twice!" Sango practically choked on her drink. "Is there anything else you guys did?"
"Of course not! What kind of girl do you think I am?" Kagome frowned.
"I guess you're right. So what happened after he kissed you again?" Sango asked eagerly.
"Ayame walked in and I left. I was too embarrassed to face her. She's probably going to tell everyone at work. What will Kagura do? Will she fire me?"
"No, of course not. But I wonder why Ayame was there. This is the first time I've heard of her going over to his place."
"Who knows," Kagome sighed. Inuyasha, what are you doing right now?
~Welcome to Shikon Café! where we cleanse your soul and serve you to your heart's content!~
Inuyasha sat in his bed and stared blankly at the wall. He smirked, "What the hell just happened?" Kagome, what do you think of all of this? His thoughts were cut off by the sound of his cell phone ringing. He pulled it out of his pocket and checked the caller I.D, only to find an unknown number displayed on the screen. "Hello?"
"It's about time we finally talk. How are things, Inuyasha?" An unfamiliar voice sounded from his phone.
"Who is this?" Inuyasha asked skeptically.
"If you wish to know more about your 'illness', meet me where it all started."
"Where what started? Who the hell is this?"
"I'm very impatient, so don't keep me waiting," The phone line cut off.
"Damn it!" Inuyasha threw his phone. "Illness. He couldn't mean…" He bolted out his door and hurried down the stairs.
"Where are you going?" Sesshomaru asked harshly. "Do you know what time it is?"
"It's none of your concern," Inuyasha glared at his brother and slammed the door behind him.
"What's going on?" Rin sleepily walked over to her father.
"Nothing. Go back to bed." Sesshomaru stared at the door. So he finally makes his move. Naraku.
Press the review button if you've ever wanted to kiss Inuyasha! ;)
