Title: Stolen Moments

Chapter Ten: How Hard Is That?

------------------------------------------------

Two weeks passed, it the play was tomorrow. Inuyasha had did his best to ignore Kagome as well, and she didn't notice it. That made he watch her even more, but when Kikyo caught him… he knew she was nothing but a thing in the past. At the moment, Kagome was pacing her room thinking,

"Ok! I know I put that paper on the desk, and now I lost it! I was suppose to give that to the writer to read!"

Her story was finally complete, with a sequel on the way. Tears burned her eyes, but they vanished soon as she heard Izayoi's voice downstairs. She ran out, slid on her socks to stop, then ran downstairs. Once she reached Izayoi, she asked,

"Did you move ANY papers in my room?"

"Oh, their in the study, Kagome." smiled Izayoi.

Kagome smiled, "Thank you! Where's Avani?"

"At the daycare… everyone's a bit to busy to watch her at the moment."

Kagome nodded, and left. She walked into the study the study to see Inuyasha reading something in his hand. She stopped, and realized it was the last chapter of her story. He looked up at her, and cleared his throat,

"Oh, sorry."

She kept herself from frowing, but simply walked over. Kagome stacked her stuff up, and he asked,

"Are you getting it published?"

Kagome didn't say anything, and he wondered why he was talking to her. He grumbled,

"You're acting immature."

She walked out the room, and didn't bother to announce her leaving. Inuyasha huffed, and fell back in his seat,

"That story was enough to make her millions."

He heard Kagome call, "I'll be back in a few hours! I have to go to the school real quick!"

Inuyasha turned in the spinning chair, and listened as she slammed the door behind her. He looked at his watch,

"That dumb play is tomorrow. Great, and I have a feeling something bad is going to happen."

Next Day

"Where is my star! Kikyo! Inuyasha… you know don't you?" asked Mrs. Ames.

Inuyasha spoke into his cell, ignoring her, "Where are you Kikyo!?"

There was silence, and he hung up. Inuyasha was mumbling something to himself as she walked in. Kikyo kissed his cheek, and smiled,

"Sorry, anyway… lets get this over with."

"Mrs. Ames! Mrs. Ames!" came a distressed Eri.

Mrs. Ames sighed, "What is it Eri?"

"The beautiful warrior Eva moved this morning, and she called at the last minute!" panted Eri.

Mrs. Ames shrieked, "Oh heavens no! Who knows her lines!"

"Kagome, even though you wouldn't let her in, she has been here every rehearsal.

Mrs. Ames snapped, "Go get her, now!!"

"She is NOT going to be that woman that kills me, and takes Inuyasha!" spat Kikyo.

Mrs. Ames sighed, "We have no choice, I'm sorry!"

"Let go of me, Eri!" came Kagome's pissed of voice.

Mrs. Ames smiled, "Kaogme! You're going to play Eva!"

"NO! I'm suppose to be getting a word from that teacher about my book!" whined Kagome.

Mrs. Ames yelled, "Here or I fail you!"

"You can't do that!" spat Kagome.

Eri begged, "Kagome… please!"

"I'm not kissing him!" spat Kagome, pointing at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "It isn't like its real."

"Great! I need passion is this! Not hate!" spat Mrs. Ames. "Either you two do as I say, or have detention until next summer!"

Inuyasha looked around for Kikyo, and she was no where to be seen. He followed her scent, and Kagome listened from a distance. Inuyasha stopped as he saw Hojo and Kikyo making out VERY heatedly. He threw Hojo back, and growled,

"What the hell is going on here!?"

"Inuyasha!" gasped Kikyo, as Inuyasha kicked Hojo in his side.

Kikyo grabbed his arm, "Stop!"

"What were you doing with him!?" spat Inuyasha, pushing her away.

Kikyo crossed her arm, "I got bored with you, and your sulking about Kagome not talking to you! It's pathetic considering you started it!"

He looked at her baffled, and hurt. Was there no one for him? Kikyo snorted,

"I simply used you for your body. It's amazing how someone as hot as you has never had sex with a woman. I thank you for the fun, hanyou, but I think I'll stick with demons, and humans. Half demons are to emotional."

That hit home, and he felt everything crumble. Kagome shook her head, knowing that was coming. Kikyo stop in front on is, and kissed him on the lips,

"We can get this over with can't we?"

"I hate you." hissed Inuyasha.

She smiled, and he stormed off. Kagome stepped out from behind the curtain,

"Now it's time for me to kick your ass."

"What! You little sneak!" spat Kikyo.

Kagome growled lowly, "Why did you hurt him?"

Kagome pushed Kikyo roughly into the wall behind her. She hissed,

"Get away from me."

"When this play is over, I'm going to give you the worse beating you ever had." hissed Kagome, with a smile.

Mrs. Ames called, "Girls! Lets go!"

The Play: Middle Of Play

"Gevira! I don't understand! Why would you do this!?" growled Inuyasha, pretending that he was really stabbed in the side.

Gevira let him fall, "You were pathetic enough to actually think I loved you? You should've stayed with what you had long before… Eva. She's dead now, but don't worry… you'll join her shortly."

"Traitor." hissed Inuyasha, feeling that exact way. "You used me for everything except my heart."

Mrs. Ames in the back gasped, "T.t.t.that's not in the script."

"I was falling for you… and you only used me." growled Inuyasha.

Kikyo stepped back in shock, but glared, "Would you get over that!"

"You slut." glared Inuyasha.

Mrs. Ames pushed Kagome out, and hissed,

"Fix this!"

Kagome shouted, "Step away from him!"

"I thought you were died!" hissed Kikyo, getting back into the play.

Inuyasha glared at the ground. Kikyo pulled out her bow and arrow, and aimed it at Kagome. Kagome hissed,

"Didn't I promise you a beating of your life?"

"What!?" gaped Kikyo. "This is ridiculous!"

Inuyasha looked up from the ground, "What?"

"You will be punished for your lies."

Kikyo dropped the boy, and hissed, "Bring it on!"

Meanwhole Mrs. Ames was hissing, "What is this! Wha- Cue the music!"

A battle music began, and the audience was going 'oh snap! Oh my gosh!'

"You've interfered long enough, momma's girl!" spat Kikyo.

Kagome growled, "You're done!"

Kagome tackled Kikyo to the ground, and crowd gasped and stood. Miroku was cheering,

"Alright! This was totally unexpected!"

"Miroku!" yelled Sango and Rin, still made about their failure.

Mrs. Ames fainted, and Eri was just watching in shock. Kagome punched Kikyo right in the mouth repeatedly,

"That was for hurting Inuyasha! This is making jokes about my mother! …"

Inuyasha finally called for Kagome to stop, and she stopped. Kikyo was groaning, and holding her nose in pain. Kagome walked over to Inuyasha, and knelt down beside him. He asked,

"What are you doing?"

"Inuyasha… I knew Kikyo was going to do this, and I never wanted you to get hurt. You deserved it though."

He sat up, "I know… Kagome, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. I shouldn't have over reacted on what you said."

"I should've known you were only trying to help as my best friend." whispered Kagome as he got closer to her face.

Kagome finally admitted as the stage lights dimmed, "Inuyasha… I love you."

"I love you too." whispered Inuyasha, capturing her lips into a passionate kiss.

Kagome kissed him back, and wrapped her arms around his neck. The gym went completely black, and everyone shot up. They cheered, hollered, and cried. Mostly girls did all of this, the guys were only cheering about the fight. Screaming it was hot.

Mrs. Ames woke, and mumbled,

"What happened?"

"They loved it!" gaped Eri, crying her eyes out. "It was so beautiful! A couple blocked from being together by the stolen moments taken away from them."

Mrs. Ame smiled, "I hear clapping!"

The stage lights came on, and the couple bowed. Kikyo was to busy hold her nose, and crying. They laughed their heads off, but also clapped.

After All The Congrats, Laughs, And Autographs

Kagome laid in Inuyasha's arms… looking up at the night sky. They sat on the roof of the Takahashi mansion. Thinking back to everything, she giggled. He asked,

"What's so funny?"

"It's funny how Kouga was all what the heck during the play. Then I found out Sesshomaru and Rin were having their own make out scene." giggled Kagome.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "You're always thinking about stuff."

"Yeah, unlike you." smiled Kagome, looking up at him.

Inuyasha looked down into her beautiful eyes, "I love you Kagome."

"I love you too." smiled Kagome.

Soon as they were about to kiss, a loud pull horn went off. Inuyasha jumped, and Kagome grabbed his hand when he was about to fall off the roof. They looked over at the window to see Sesshomaru smirking, with a bull horn in hand. Rin poked her head out, and smiled,

"Dinners ready."

Inuyasha yelled, "You two are dead!"

Inuyasha! Wait!" groaned Kagome, following him inside. "Once again… another stolen moment."
