Chapter Twelve:

The Confrontation

By: TiFF TiFFany


Inuyasha could not help but feel nervous. Next period would be gym. 'Where everything goes down.' Inuyasha thought, knowing that Kagome would be there waiting for him. For the first time, Inuyasha hoped that this period would last forever.

BRIIINNGG!

The shrill scream of the bell pounded into his ears. 'Damn,' Inuyasha thought grimly, a frown pursed at his lips. Grabbing his books, he sped out the room, heading towards his locker. 'Maybe I should skip Gym?' Inuyasha questioned himself as he unlocked his locker. Shrugging, Inuyasha put his books away and slammed his locker shut. 'Sounds good to me,' Inuyasha decided, heading off to a secure place in the school; A.K.A. the roof.

Ignoring the stares from other girls as he passed by, Inuyasha continued to head up the stairs. Luckily, no teachers have spotted him while heading up the hallways. Finally reaching the door with big bold signs that read 'ROOF', he pushed the door open. Inuyasha took deep breath, the wind toying with his long silver locks. He walked around the spacious place, nodding at some of the students that he knew.

The roof wasn't any ordinary roof. Most teachers didn't bother to go up here, for some feared that something would happen to them. So, that's why all the students who wanted to just chill came up here. You could call it a sanctuary. Up here, everything was peaceful and quiet. Not like inside, which was too crowed and noisy.

Leaning against the railing he closed his eyes, wondering when he'll face Kagome's questions. 'I'll have to do it sooner or later.' Inuyasha thought, making a face.

"There you are… I was waiting for you…"

Inuyasha cursed his thoughts. 'Damn. This is too soon for my liking.' Inuyasha groaned. "How'd you realize I was up here?" Inuyasha asked, not looking at her.

Kagome walked up next to him, and sighed. "Where else would you go?"

Inuyasha crossed his arms, "Keh."

Kagome stared at the boy next to her. His silver hair rustled every time the wind picked up, and his golden eyes remained stoic. "Inuyasha?" Kagome breathed.

Inuyasha looked at the beauty in the corner of his eye. Still not moving, he answered. "Whadd'ya want wench?"

Kagome snapped her head towards the hanyou, her hair flipping with her movements. With slanted eyes she hissed out her words. "What do you mean 'what do I want?' I should be asking you that! What the hell were you thinking?! Sending that damn text message to me!? What do you want from me?!"

Students began to stare at Kagome, annoyed that she would disturb the silence up here. What's wrong now? The students were quite aware of the love triangle between Inuyasha, Kagome, and Kikyo, but to add Koga into it? It became even more interesting.

Kagome missed the stress, but Inuyasha sure didn't. "Calm down, Kagome." Inuyasha whispered in a low voice.

Kagome became even more furious, her face becoming flushed with anger. "Calm down?! How the hell can I calm down?! I want answers! I want answers now!" Kagome screeched.

Inuyasha growled. Grabbing her wrists, he began to pull her into a direction past the whispering students. "You fucking drilled up a crowd back there Kagome. You wouldn't want them to listen to our business right?"

Kagome blushed, realizing that she did draw up a crowd. "Sorry." Kagome mumbled. Leaning against the black railing, she looked back up to her golden eyed friend. "What was that about Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha looked down to the petite girl and shrugged. "I dunno, you tell me. You started it, yelling and cussing everywhere." was his smart reply.

Kagome groaned in frustration. "Not about that! The text message saying…" Kagome trailed off, blushing.

"What? Can't say it? I love you?" Inuyasha drawled, snorting. "I'm sure you said it to Koga plenty of times."

Kagome let that comment slide by. "Why? Why are you saying this to me now?" Kagome questioned once more, her expressive eyes showing her confusion.

Inuyasha looked down into her gray depths, his mind trailing off. "Because… I care for you… I don't want to lose you…" Inuyasha confessed his blush spreading through his face.

Kagome lowered her face and bit her lip, trying to figure out what to say. "If you said those words before, I would be the happiest girl in the world. But now, Inuyasha, I… I can't return your feelings. I think… I think that maybe its best if we remain friends." Kagome whispered, holding back the tears that threatened to fall.

Inuyasha stood still; feeling like his heart was slowly being eaten out. His palms began to bleed as his claw pierced through the skin. "I already lost you haven't I?" Inuyasha whispered, ignoring the stinging in his eyes. He waited for her to answer – but she didn't. She just stood there, weeping into her hands.

Inuyasha barked out a laugh, and shook his head. "I guess this is what I deserve, huh?" Inuyasha choked out. He pulled Kagome into his arms and laid his chin on top of her head. "I… I want you to know, that now matter what, and I'll always be there for you Kagome." Inuyasha whispered brokenly, his sobs racking throughout his body.

For the second time in his life, Inuyasha Tashio cried.


Wouldn't want to leave you here, so the chapter goes on!


"What a good cry that was, ne?" Kagome giggled, as she dried her tears. Sniffling, she looked up into the eyes of her best friend. "A-Are you okay about this?" Kagome asked, reaching up so she could wipe away Inuyasha's tears.

Inuyasha titled his head towards her hand, loving the warmth that radiated from it. Sighing, Inuyasha nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine."

Kagome smiled, pulling out of Inuyasha's hold. "Okay, mister. Let's go back to class! I bet you that they're looking all over for us!" Kagome said, looping her arm with his.

Inuyasha groaned. His mood for class was ruined. "Aww, come on Gome! Let's just skip the whole day!" Inuyasha moaned.

Kagome shook her head. "Now way, Inuyasha!"

"I'll treat you to Starbucks! How about that? Will you come now?" Inuyasha grinned, knowing that she couldn't resist free coffee.

Kagome groaned. He knew how to get to her. Sighing in defeat, Kagome agreed. "Fine... I haven't had a frappuchino in a long time anyways." Kagome giggled.

Arm in arm, (hah, like hand in hand) they headed out the roof.

Let's just hope they make it out the building without getting in trouble.


A/n- You like? It was pretty sad, ne? Well please review! Gracias!
