Crushed on a Crush
Beach Confessions Pt. 2
Kikyo kept looking through her binoculars at the girls who were splashing at each other, laughing and having fun like little kids.
'They are so immature..' she thought and rolled her eyes. But if spying would get her and InuYasha together, she would make the sacrifice. SHe had already decided a few months ago that she would take matters into her own hands. She wasn't going to sit around and wait for something to happen. She heard Kagome in the distance.
"It will be just a second!"
"Hurry back! We want to get some seashells before we leave!"
"Hai!"
Kikyo watched the girl run straight for the wonderfully, bright painted restrooms. If anything was going to happen, it needed to happen now. Kikyo waited until the coast was clear(no pun intended..haha) and followed Kagome. She opened the door and peered around.
'Good. It's just us..' she closed the door and locked it. She tiptoed to where the sinks were and leaned against the counter, looking at the stall where she could see Kagome's feet.
"Kagome?" Kikyo asked in a sweet voice.
"Yes..Who's here?" Kagome finished up and opened stall door to see Kikyo smiling as wide as the cheshire cat.
"Just an old, forgotten friend..." She walked over to Kagome, grabbed her shoulders, and pushed her against the counter. It needs to be done. Now.
"By 'we' I meant Eri, Arimi, and me. Who else?" Yuri nervously laughed and turned her head, away from his.
"You're lying. You never can look me in the eyes when you tell a tale."
"Phsaw. I'm not lying..." Her voice pitched just a little bit.
"Yes you are, now tell me about 'we'..." He turned her head toward him and gave somewhat of an evil grin.
"O-Ok. Well, Eri is just a sweetheart! The nicest girl you'll-"
"Your other friend.."
"O-Oh! Arimi is edgy. She's always there in-" InuYasha growled and stood up, grabbing nearby peoples' attentions.
"We both know who I'm talking about!", he looked around and saw that everyone was practically staring at him," What are you looking at?" That sent them back to doing their own business. He cleared his throat and sat down. Yuri looked away and thought about the first time Kagome ever mentioned she liked him:
(yeah..I just added this part. I felt that the title needed a reason behind it...)
"It's just this feeling I get when we exchange glances across the room. My heart pounds really fast and my stomach gets butterflies. It's a wonderful feeling.." Kagome smiled a smile at Yuri. It was their first year in Junior High and Kagome had already decided on a crush.
"I don't know Kagome..I've heard about him a lot from many sources...He-he has a bad reputation and I don't think you should get with guys like that...you might be crushed if something were to happen..." She bit into her sandwich and mumbled something about being 'crushed on a crush..'
"That's why he can't find out! Please keep this to yourself! Make sure we never meet face to face and if we do, I don't want you to be the reason why we did." Kagome frowned and looked at a snail that had made it's way to the tip of her shoe.
"Don't worry," Yuri smiled,"I won't."
Her thoughts were interrupted when InuYasha had spoken up. Had she been out that long?
"At least.." his voice had softened to a level that Yuri had never heard him speak in before," tell me about her.." He mumbled the last snetence, but Yuri understood him perfectly. Why had he wanted to know about her? Did he really have feelings for her? But she couldn't tell him anything. She promised she wouldn't ever try to bring them together. But what if this was fate that brought them here? She gave it one more thought.
"What..things?" She just needed to be sure.
"Keh." He leaned back and folded his arms across his chest. His head was turned towards the ocean. A beach volleyball tournament was taking place. Yuri looked at him. His face was so calm and relaxed. He was serious. Dead serious.
Kagome fell to her knees and looked down at the floor. Why was she here? What did she want? She left Kaede Village, Japan to avoid and leave the drama..not start it. But she needed to grow a backbone sooner or later. She stood back up and looked Kikyo in the eye.
"What could you possibly want from me? Haven't you put me through hell enough?" Kagome yelled in her face, trying to be strong. Kikyo just laughed at the effort Kagome was giving.
"Trying to be strong when tears are forming around the eyes isn't going to help any.."
"What do you want from me?" Kagome yanked her arms away from Kikyo, trying to escape but Kikyo grabbed the back of her top and pulled her back to the ground. Kikyo then whispered in Kagome's ear," I will get InuYasha back and to do that, you need to be out of the picture.." she smiled and grabbed Kagome's arms, looping them behind her back.
"Go ahead," Kagome managed to get out,"He's nothing to me." Which was a lie and she knew it but for the sake of both InuYasha and her, she needed to lie..even though she hated it.
"Oh.." Kikyo said still smiling that wicked smile of hers and whispered," but you mean something to him..." Her smile then became a frown and she yanked Kagome up to her. Kagome's eyes got wide. She? She of all people meant something to him. Him, who could practically have anyone. Kikyo was lying. She had to have been! She was bluffing..or was she?
"Favourite colour?" InuYasha tried too hard not to sound excited. So far, this was the 20th question he has asked and he liked every answer. Kagome and him had much more in common than he had imagined. They both love video games, demonds, style of clothing...But for Yuri, it was hell. She got really annoyed at each question. 'Why can't he ask her himself?' she'd think after every question.
"Green." She said straightforward, with no emotion.
"Type of music?" Yuri was going to somehow break this chain of "20 Questions".
"She likes classical.." InuYasha groaned. He loved music more than anything and this girl liked classical of all styles..Yuri noticed the disappointed look and tried to sound smart.
"But..you didn't let me finish. Metal is her favourite." InuYasha almost fell out of his seat he was overjoyed. More happy then when the kitchen gets stocked with ramen..which was a rare happiness. Yuri laughed at the sight he was giving. But to break this chain needed force.
"Now, why do you want to know all of this?"
"K-"
"And don't avoid the question.." Yuri raised her eyebrow, giving him her look. InuYasha saw this face and decided the ground looked better. He needed to avoid the question as long as possible. He noticed a gum wrapper was under the table. He looked at it until it blew towards Yuri's tapping foot. She was waiting and he knew she didn't like to wait. After she cleared her throat he just blurted everything out.
"It's just this feeling I get when whenever I see her...that feeling grew more after our hands touched and and our eyes met. I had to know who she was. She-" Yuri interrupted him. She heard this before. She put her hand up.
"Don't tell me this bullshiz. I don't want to hear it. Why hadn't you noticed her before? Before she changed her looks?"
"I didn't..it was-"
"I had really wanted to talk Kagome out of changing but then she said it was for you and I felt bad and now I'm really considering into talking her out of liking you and..." she slowly stopped, realizing what she just said. Not once, not twice, but this is the third time something slipped out while talking to him. She will never hear the end of it from Kagome. She winced and looked over at InuYasha. He was standing up, as if trying to listen to something.
"Wha-?"
"Shh. Hear it?" Yuri listened and finally heard it. It was faint and muffled but she heard screaming. Her head pointed towards his and then they looked in the same direction.
The Restrooms.
