Chapter 11: Angry

"So tell me again why you hit that boy, Inuyasha?" Dr. Higurashi asked slowly with a lot of patience.

Inuyasha had his arms crossed, sitting on one of the kitchen chairs, and looking up at Dr. Higurashi across the table.

"Because I don't like him," he said smugly. "And I punched him for it."

"That's not a reason, Inuyasha. Was this guy bullying you or something? Did he make a comment that disturbed you?" Dr. Higurashi asked again.

"No," Inuyasha said in an irritated tone.

Dr. Higurashi looked at him with a skeptical look. "Are you in any way maybe jealous of him and hit him for it?" she asked slowly.

Inuyasha's eyes hardened. "Excuse me?" he asked in an angry voice. "Why would I be jealous of him?"

"It's okay if you are, Inuyasha. It's normal for someone like you to develop some kind of jealousy," Dr. Higurashi said carefully.

Inuyasha tried to keep his anger under control and took deep breaths. "I am not jealous of a guy like him," he said as calmly as he could.

Dr. Higurashi sighed. "Inuyasha . . ."

"I just don't like the guy. He's fake. He acts like he's this perfect person and in reality he's a jerk!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"That boy is no such thing, Inuyasha. For goodness sake's, the boy's mother called me from work to complain about your awful behavior over him! She told me that you just walked over to him when he was going to his friend's house to study for a test and hit him! You broke his nose!" Dr. Higurashi stated.

"I did?" Inuyasha said surprised.

"Inuyasha!" Dr. Higurashi yelled.

Inuyasha was somewhat surprised to hear her yell at him.

"This is not funny. Now please tell me why did you hit that boy?" she demanded.

Inuyasha sighed. 'Plan B.'

"He slept with my girlfriend," he said flatly.

Dr. Higurashi looked like she didn't expected that kind of an answer. Inuyasha could have laughed at her expression but he had to be serious.

"He wasn't going to a study group, he was at a party and I went. Then I found him on top of my girlfriend. So I punched him. I couldn't help it, I was so angry," Inuyasha said plainly.

"You have a girlfriend?" Dr. Higurashi asked in disbelieve.

Inuyasha nodded. "I'm sorry if I acted very violent but I wasn't in the right state of mind. I mean, come on wouldn't you be angry if you were cheated on?" he asked innocently.

Dr. Higurashi was quiet for a moment. "You can go back upstairs, Inuyasha, and I'm sorry for being harsh on you," she said quietly.

"It's okay," Inuyasha said as he stood up from the chair and excused himself to go upstairs.

'Harsh? That was way too easy,' he told himself.

As he was walking upstairs to his room, he was stopped by a voice.

"Inuyasha?"

He turned to where the voice called him and found Souta peaking out of Kagome's door. Souta was indicating with his hand to go over where he was. Inuyasha walked over and then the little boy pulled him inside.

Inuyasha raised a brow and looked around.

Souta sat on the floor and leaned against the bed. Kagome just sat on the bed looking out the window, not really showing her face.

"Dude, what happened?" Souta asked.

Inuyasha shrugged. "Nothing," he said.

Souta looked at him confused. "Nothing? I thought she was gonna punish you."

"She just told me she's sorry for being harsh on me and that's it," Inuyasha said.

"What did you tell her?" Souta asked.

Inuyasha smirked slightly. "I told her I punched him because he slept with my girlfriend and I was really angry."

Souta blinked. "You told her that and she bought it."

"Well she didn't look like she bought it but then I told her that wouldn't she be mad if someone cheated on her and then she thought it over and that was it. You're mom seems like she's a very understanding woman," Inuyasha said.

Souta smiled weakly. "Oh, uh, I guess she is," he said.

"Souta, get out," Kagome ordered in her soft tone.

Souta looked at his sister and then at Inuyasha. Inuyasha noticed that Souta gave him the 'You're In Trouble' look and left quickly.

When the door closed, Inuyasha gave his full attention to Kagome.

"What's up your ass, wench?" he said.

His eyes widen when he saw the girl turn, looking at him with slightly puffy, red eyes. In those eyes all you saw was betrayal, hurt, and anger.

"Kagome . . ." Inuyasha didn't know what exactly to say.

Kagome's eyes hardened. "You idiot," she spat.

Inuyasha was taken back. Kagome has been angry at him before but not like this.

"Why would you do something like this?" Her voice was a little raspy but so much anger was in it.

"What?" Inuyasha asked in disbelieve. "He deserved it," he said in a defensive voice.

Kagome looked at the floor and then at him. "You should have stayed out of my business, Inuyasha. I could have dealt with it myself."

"Really? How you, Kagome? Or would you have ignored everyone when they tell you that he treated you like crap and he was just using you. He wasn't going to change for you, Kagome. He could change but not for you because I don't think he would have been happy for what you want him to be," Inuyasha said firmly.

Kagome looked at him in disbelieve. "What?" she whispered.

"You wanted him to change, Kagome. But he just couldn't for you. You want him to be like a robot to make everything perfect. Yes, he does have what a lot of girls would want. He has the money, the grades, maybe the looks, the popularity, and such. He's what you can say flawless. But in reality he's not like that and he knows it. He's in that state where he wants to be himself even for a moment. You, on the other hand, you are like that. You try to be like that in order to avoid things like this. It's not that you're good enough for him, it's just that you're not yourself for him. You can't change people so you can be comfortable. You need to suck it up and find what does make you comfortable but first you need to be yourself rather than someone you're not," Inuyasha explained.

"Get out," Kagome ordered. "Just get out."

Inuyasha put on a stern face. "You do know I'm right. You're not flawless, no matter how hard you try. No one can escape reality."

Kagome frowned. "You don't know what you're talking about," she said.

Inuyasha raised a brow. "I don't? I've seen people try to act like someone they aren't and instead of getting help, they live life like a living hell. You're not happy because you're afraid to step up. You can act as perfect as you want, Kagome, and try to hide but it won't last long."

"Get out!" she ordered. She stood up from the bed and marched toward Inuyasha. She grabbed his shoulder and tried to push him out the door. "Just get out! You don't know anything! You don't know a thing about this family and how dare you say such a thing to my mother! How dare you come here like you know us! And how dare you say those things to me! You don't know me at all!"

Kagome gasped when Inuyasha grabbed her elbows and made her look at him. He glared into her eyes.

"That's right. I don't know a thing about you," he whispered harshly. "But don't you see that's what I'm trying to do?"

Kagome looked at him shocked. He let go of her and walked out of the room. She stood there and was able to hear what he said as he left.

"And you don't know a thing about me, either."

"I can't believe we're doing this. This feels so weird," Sango said.

"There's a first for everything," Kagome said in her soft voice.

"Yeah, I know that, but cutting class with you is really foreign to me," Sango said.

Kagome looked at Sango. "You don't want to go with me?" she asked.

Sango's eyes widen. "Oh, it's not that! I'm just stating the fact that it's new to me. I have butterflies in my stomach, actually." She grinned sheepishly.

Kagome rolled her eyes.

Sango looked at Kagome curiously. "So where are we going?"

Then Kagome stopped walking. "There," she said.

Sango furrowed her brows and turned her head. Her expression changed into a bored one. "The park?"

"You can go back to school if you wish," Kagome said as she walked.

Sango sighed. "If I go back I'll get a detention." She shook her head and followed Kagome.

"Oh goody! The swings. And there's no kids around!" Sango said in fake enthusiasm.

Kagome sat on one of the swings and Sango sat on one, too.

Slowly, Kagome began to swing.

Sango started to swing and went higher and higher.

"Remember when we were little we loved coming here," Sango said as she went soaring to the air.

Kagome nodded. "Yeah," she said.

"We used to have so much fun. Especially when we pushed kids around,"Sango said, smiling at the memory.

"From what I remember, you were picking the kids and I just sat here on the swing and stare at how childish you were," Kagome said with a small smile.

"Oh yeah! Either way it was fun!" Sango grinned.

"And the only one who stood up to you was Miroku," Kagome stated; her eyes staring into nothing but the memory.

Sango looked thoughtful for a while and then frowned. "Yeah. I remember. That pervert groped me, too and I beat his ass. Then we were friends," she chuckled.

"Then you guys fell in love," Kagome said quietly.

Sango bit her lip as she swung into the air.

"Hojo cheated on me," Kagome said.

Right there, Sango dug her feet into the ground and stopped swinging.

"What?" she hissed, giving Kagome her full attention.

Kagome looked at Sango with no emotion on her face. "Hojo cheated on me," she said again.

Sango gritted her teeth. "That asshole!" she yelled. "I'm gonna kick his ass! But tell when and where and how?"

Kagome shrugged. "Last night. I called him if he wanted to go at the movies and he told me he was going to study. Then at home, Inuyasha dragged me to a party and we saw Kikyo," Kagome face darkened at the name. "She told me Hojo would be so happy to see me but I told her he wasn't here. So she dragged me and Inuyasha to a room and I guess you know what happened."

Sango shook her head. "That idiot," she spat. "Just wait 'til I see him. I'm gonna punch him so hard I'm gonna break his nose."

"Inuyasha took care of that," Kagome said quietly.

Sango looked at her in disbelieve. "Inuyasha, what?"

"Inuyasha took care of that. He took me out of the house and Hojo came after us begging for forgiveness and Inuyasha went of on him. Then Hojo told me that he was just using me and that I should do my job as the popular girl and lay on my back-"

"WHAT?" Sango roared.

"Then Inuyasha punched him," Kagome added quickly.

Sango seemed somewhat relaxed but still mad.

"Then Hojo's mom called my mom at work and she came home. I'm not sure what happened but Inuyasha told me and Souta that he said that the reason he punched Hojo was because he slept with his girlfriend," Kagome informed. "And my mom let him go."

Sango chuckled slightly. "Inuyasha's pretty good."

"Then I told Souta to get out of the room and I went off at Inuyasha," Kagome continued to say and this time she looked down at the ground, not facing her friend.

"You went of at Inuyasha?" Sango questioned.

"Well, not really but I was a little harsh to him and he said some things . . ." Kagome trailed off.

Sango raised a brow. "What kind of things?"

"That the only reason Hojo wouldn't change was because he wouldn't change for me. That I wanted him to be something he didn't want to be and that's why he never took me seriously," Kagome said softly. "Then I tried to get him out of the room. I was so angry."

"I wouldn't blame you. I would be, too. Inuyasha has no business telling you things like that. Hojo should be afraid because I'm gonna hunt him down," Sango said.

Kagome shook her head.

"It's okay, Kagome," Sango tried to comfort her.

"No, it's not. I'm angry at myself, not at them. I shouldn't have went of at Inuyasha because he was trying to help and I just called him an idiot for interfering in my relationship," Kagome said. "I took some of my anger at him and he didn't deserve it. And I got even more angry when he said those things."

"Well he shouldn't have said those things to you," Sango said.

Kagome shook her head. She looked at Sango with teary eyes and wasn't surprised when she saw Sango gasp. "I'm scared, Sango?"

Sango's face softened and got of the swing. She knelt down before Kagome and stroke her hair gently. "Oh, sweetie. Why should you be scared?" Sango asked softly.

Kagome was quiet for a moment before answering.

"I'm scared because . . . Inuyasha might be right and I was wrong."

That day Dr. Higurashi stayed home today which was a weird feeling for Inuyasha because this is the first time she actually stayed home for one full day.

When he got home, she was in the kitchen with a big, warm smile. She almost looked like a stranger to him since she wasn't wearing her business suit that he was so used to. She was wearing a knee-length skirt, a shirt with a sweater over it, and some slippers. She looked like an actual other than a career woman.

Dinner was really awkward for him. There were a couple of time he had dinner with Dr. Higurashi around but there was so much tension in the air. Most of it was between him and Kagome. Thy haven't talked all day.

He didn't blame her. In a way, he was kind of harsh with her but he wanted her to get a reality check.

After that, Inuyasha and Souta went to living room to play video games.

"So you and my sis are in a fight or somethin'?" Souta asked.

Inuyasha shrugged. "You could say that," he said flatly.

"Oh! Nice shot, Scooby," Souta said with a grin.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. But then he put on a serious face. "I think I should apologize to her."

Souta furrowed his brows. "Why? She had it coming. Like I told her, she's suck a drama queen. She can't get things her way all the time," he said. "Ah! You're too good to beat at this game."

Inuyasha sighed. "Maybe you're right, but still . . ."

The two of them spent a while playing video games until it was time to go to sleep.

"Night, kid," Inuyasha said to Souta.

Souta yawned. "Night, Scooby." He went to his room and locked the door.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes at the stupid nickname the boy gave him. Then his attention was captured by a sound and he turned. Golden eyes staring into blue eyes, Kagome stepped out of her room.

Inuyasha broke eye contact and was going to go to his room but . . .

"I'm sorry."

Inuyasha looked back at Kagome and his heart skipped a beat. Never had he seen Kagome look so innocent before. She was just standing there looking at him with those big, blue eyes and her features so soft. And the way she spoke was so delicate it made him shiver.

"Apology accepted," he said like nothing was going on.

"And thank you for helping me," Kagome said once again.

Inuyasha nodded. "No prob."

Kagome nodded and walked back to her room.

"Kagome?"

She turned.

Inuyasha smiled softly. "Good night."

Kagome bit her lip. "Good night." She closed the door.

Inuyasha felt his smile widen.

He wasn't smiling because Kagome apologize.

He wasn't smiling that she thanked him.

No . . .

He was smiling because he could have sworn he saw her blush.
