Chapter nine: Plan execution

It was a long way and finally, they reached kagome's house and outside her house was inuyasha. Inuyasha was on the pathway waiting patiently for kagome to arrive. When he spotted kagome, he immediately went back to the house and stood next to the dinning room in preparation for kagome's arrival. Kagome felt strange why inuyasha ran away upon seeing her. She gave it a little thought, then felt that it was no big deal and politely invited yuka into her house.

After that, kagome and yuka went to kagome's room and put down their bags, then went downstairs for their dinner. Before kagome was about to sit down, inuyasha went over and pulls her chair, offering her to sit down like a gentleman and did otherwise to yuka and kagome's mother. Then he went over to his sit and sat down.

Kagome was a little shocked at first but felt pleased to his sudden behaviour. "By doing this, sure yuka will like you more and I will find a way to put both of you together!" She thought smiling to herself. Souta, upon seeing her sister's expression, gave a little tremble and asked whether if she is feeling all right. Kagome stared at Souta and tried to ignore him, then diverted her attention to the quiet yuka whom is now secretly looking at inuyasha eating.

She felt a little jealous but stopped herself from feeling so and continued eating. After dinner, she went over to wash the dishes while the others relax themselves. Kagome's mother and yuka offered to help but kagome declined and kindly asked them to enjoy themselves then she continued with her chores.

While doing her dishes, inuyasha went over and spoke to her in a gentle tone, a tone that sometimes she hoped to hear.

Inuyasha: You need some help?

Kagome: (smile a little) No thanks, you go ahead and watch some television

Inuyasha: If you don't need any help, I will still stay here

Kagome: (replied coldly) Suit yourself

Inuyasha stood beside the dinning table, making sure that he does not interrupt kagome from doing her chores but also making sure that he was near enough to see her. Kagome does not feel at ease when she felt inuyasha looking at her but on the other hand, she could not help but to feel sort of happy and protected. While she was wiping the table, inuyasha suddenly spoke.

Inuyasha: (heads down) Kagome, do you think that I have changed?

Kagome: (Startled) Yea…

Inuyasha: (looked at kagome) To the better?

Kagome: (Closed her eyes and nodded her head) Yea…I gue…ss…so

Inuyasha: (Smiled a little, looked down) Glad to hear that. (Paused for a while then asked another question) So, are you willingly going to give me another chance? (Then looked at kagome, hoping for a positive answer)

Kagome immediately felt her heart racing and the flow of her blood rushing to her face in a very fast speed. Not long, she was already blushing. She felt an urge to say "yes" but she endured it and tried to cool herself down before rejecting inuyasha again.

Kagome: (Cooled down, looked at inuyasha) No, I told you, I don't love you anymore, only hojo

"He is going to hate me", she thought sorrowfully.

Inuyasha did not look disappointed. Instead he smiled and said in a positive tone.

Inuyasha: (smiled and looked at kagome) Is that so? Well, I won't give up still. So are you done with the dishes? I'm going out now

Kagome looked at inuyasha leaving the dinning room. Her heart felt glad, glad that inuyasha did not blame her for being so heartless and mean to him. However, she has to do this, so that inuyasha won't pin any hopes and will try to like another girl, someone whom she felt is more suitable for him. Besides, she has no faith in him anymore. A person who he does not believe in anymore, how could she possibly be together with him?

After she was done with her dishes. She went to over to join the others in watching the television programme, only to find out that inuyasha was sitting very close to yuka and talking to her merrily. She felt her heart boil but she suppresses it and cools herself down. Besides, this is what she had always wanted, isn't it? She walked over, trying to smile but can't help herself but twitched her eyebrows and frowned a little. She then sat down beside Souta whom is currently staring at her. He was very worried about her sister's sudden behaviour but was scared to broach the subject, all of a sudden, kagome's grandfather spoke.

Kagome's grandfather: (whispering to souta and kagome and looked at inuyasha and yuka whom are currently laughing away now) aren't they close? Kagome, both of them are together, right?

Kagome: (eyes twitching and raised her tone) How am I supposed to know?

Then she pouted and frowned and stared at the television set, trying to ignore the couple that is having so much fun. Kagome's grandfather and Souta was a little shocked by kagome's reaction, they turned and look at kagome, feeling worried. When kagome found out about her own jealous behaviour, she felt so bad. She stood up and returned back to her room.

While walking, she looked very depressed; her leg movement says it all. Inuyasha upon seeing kagome's depressed look, he immediately diverted his attention to kagome. He was worried. Kagome, in her room, started to gave thoughts. She wanted so much to put yuka and inuyasha together but can't help herself from feeling jealous upon seeing how loving they would get if they are really together.

But this was what she hoped for, how could she feel jealous? She felt that she was a very horrible person and started to feel her eyes getting watery. After a few minutes, she decided that she would overcome this jealousy and no matter what, she must forget about inuyasha and pull herself together!

Immediately, she went down as though nothing has happened but her eyes were all red. It was very obvious that she was crying. Upon seeing her expression, her family was worried and so is yuka and inuyasha. When they ask her about what her happened, she smiled and reply that she was all right, just a little tired out from the schoolwork.

Her family was glad that she was all right and felt that it was best not to ask more questions. Even her more concerned grandfather and brother did not spoke a word and so did inuyasha. He somehow felt delighted because he knew the real answer behind the reason why kagome had cried.

After a few hours, yuka needed to go. She took her bag and left together with kagome and inuyasha whom offered to send her. When they reached outside the shrine, kagome immediately told inuyasha to send yuka home as it was late at night and is better for someone to accompany her, a boy to be exact.

Then kagome gave yuka a secret wink. Yuka felt glad and smiled back to her, showing her outmost appreciation. Inuyasha agreed readily and walked yuka home. Kagome stood near the shrine and waved goodbye to yuka. Her heart felt sorrow but she didn't care much and returned back to her home.
