(fyi I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA)

Its been awhile! Sorry it took so long! Heres the next chapter...

He loves me. He loves me not?

Kagome still had to go to school before she left. That is if she is going to leave. The thought of leaving her new friends and the guy of her dreams didn't seem appealing anymore, and had she been far away from New York to long to turn back now? This question was on her mind the whole way to school. As soon as she got to the benches she cleared her mind and looked fake and happy like she always did.

"Hey you guys!" Kagome said taking her spot next to Sango.

"Hey. I thought you'd be long gone by now." Miroku said.

"Kagome was going to leave?" Josh asked covering his mouth with his hands and dramatically gasping sarcastically.

"I don't know anymore." Kagome said.

"So Inuyasha did make it to you." Sango said.

"You sent him over?" Kagome asked.

"Well of course." Sango said. "We don't want you leaving on us."

Kagome Sango Miroku and Josh were the only ones sitting at the benches this morning.

"So Josh where's Kaito?" Kagome asked.

"Ah. Hes sick unfortunately." Josh said with a sigh.

"I hope he gets better." Kagome said.

"Me too its hard to walk around school without my partner in crime by my side." Josh sighed.

"Kagome did you speak to Matt?" Miroku said changing the subject.

"Uh yeah." Kagome blushed.

"I want to know what he said that made you blush like that." Josh said now absorbed in the conversation.

"Nothing in particular...you know...just that he uh loves me." Kagome said.

"What?!" Sango said. "He told you that he loved you?!"

"Yeah." Kagome said.

"Huh didn't think he had it in him." Miroku said.

"Just because you tell every girl that you love them doesn't mean Matt is weird because he doesn't." Sango said.

"Whatever." Miroku said.

"Well what are you going to do about it Kagome?" Sango asked.

"Nothing." Kagome said.

"Why not?" Miroku asked.

"Because she likes Inuyasha genius!" Sango said.

"But why not have both and-" Miroku said.

"Not everyone is you Miroku." Kagome said.

"Alas I am a breed all my own." Miroku said.

"Hey you guys!" Matt said sitting down across from Kagome. He was acting normal for a guy who just told the girl he likes that he loves them.

Everyone was silent, Miroku can't stand silence however.

"Well this is awkward." He said. Kagome gave him a dirty look.

"What?" Matt said.

"Nothing." Sango said smacking Miroku on the back of the head.

"Ow! What was that for?" He said.

"And they're at it again." Inuyasha said coming over to sit beside Kagome.

"Hey." She said. She could see Matt tense up a little.

"Oh great Inuyasha just making the awkwardness worse-OW!" Miroku exclaimed. Sango hit him even harder this time.

"Taking beatings again?" Inuyasha said with a laugh. The conversation had to come to an end because of the bell of course.

"Must be off!" Miroku said walking away first.

"I think you hurt his ego." Kagome said.

"I don't think thats the only thing she hurt those punches looked painful." Inuyasha said.

"Well I'm going to go, Matt?" Sango said.

"I'll catch up...Kagome can I talk to you for a second?" Matt asked.

"Uh sure." Kagome said. Her and Matt got up and started walking over to the tree Kikyo used to sit under. The thought of Kikyo and Inuyasha sitting under the tree together made Kagome's stomach hurt.

"So I wanted to talk to you after what I said at your house." He said.

"Um okay?" Kagome said.

(Inuyasha's pov) I wonder what they're talking about over there. He thought. He stayed on the benches with Josh pretending to procrastinate going to class. When really he was trying to listen in on their conversation. With his demon hearing he could pick up everything that they were saying.

(Kagome's pov)

"Are you planing on staying?" Matt asked.

"I don't know." She said.

"Please stay." He said.

"Wow everyone keeps asking me that." She said.

"Well yeah we want you to stay with us."

"But don't worry I was thinking about staying anyways, somethings are making it difficult for me to leave."

"Somethings? Like what?"

"Well all the new friends I met will be hard to leave. I've been away from home so long I think I'm here to stay."

"Well thats good but is there anything else?"

"Anything else?"

"Did you think about what I said to you yesterday?"

(Inuyasha's pov) What did he tell her? Inuyasha's curiosity was increasing the more he watched them and listened in on their conversation.

"Shouldn't you go to class?" Josh said.

"Shouldn't you?" Inuyasha said.

"I think I'm going to skip and go to Kaito's house see if I can keep him company."

"Well okay."

"Why are you eavesdropping?"

"I am not!"

"You are so! You've been looking intently at Kagome and Matt since the bell rang."

"Whatever." Inuyasha said going back to their conversation.

(Kagome's pov)

"I did think about what you said. And..." She said thinking of ways to let him down easily.

"Oh I get it."

"Get what?"

"You can never love me."

"But..I didn't even...um."

"You love him don't you?"

"What?!" Kagome's voice squeeked.

"I know you do I can see it all over your face whenever your around him. I'm sorry I was a waste of your time you should probably go to class now." Matt said walking away.

Ah crap. I have to find a way to make it up to him. I'm so sorry Matt but its true I do love Inuyasha. She thought.

"We better go." Inuyasha said coming from behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder. Making Kagome jump a little because she wasn't expecting him to still be around.

"Oh okay."

Kagome and Inuyasha walked down the halls together making people turn heads. She could hear whispering.

"Are they going out?" One girl whispered.

"I didn't know she was into demons." Another girl whispered.

This made Kagome a little uneasy. How had she not noticed all of this before? Then she remembered what Sango had said. "Humans usually don't like demons or half demons. Thats why he had such a hard time in school so we decided to be his friends."

"So what were you and Matt talking about?" He asked ignoring the very few people who were whispering.

"Nothing really."

"I hear he likes you."

"Um well I guess."

"And that he told you that himself."

"How..."

"Do you like him?"

Why does he keep asking me these questions? Does he like me and not want me and Matt to get together? Or is he just curious? I am so confused! Kagome thought.

"I do." Kagome said. Inuyasha stopped walking and looked down at her intently.

"As a friend." She said. This made Inuyasha relax and keep walking.

Ha! That was a test! So he does like me. If he didn't he wouldn't have stopped like that.

"I like someone else more." She said.

"Who?" Inuyasha asked. He had a feeling as to who it was but he wasn't sure if it was really him she was talking about.

"This is my class." Kagome stopped at classroom 1-D.

"Okay." He wanted to hug her but restrained himself and walked off to his class.

Kagome stayed in the doorway watching him walk away. When he was out of sight she took her seat in the classroom.
