Ah, well hey everyone! Hehe, it's me again! Sorry I'm updating so late! I had a ton of school related crap to deal with! I think it's been a little over a week since I last updated. Well, sorry!
Thanks to everyone who reviewed! You guys are so awesome! Yay! Thanks a bunch!
Oh, and I meant to answer questions before, but I always seem to forgot. Yes, Inuyasha and Kagome have met before. They met three years ago. And, a Beta is someone who reads through my rough/raw chapter and they fix mistakes, give me their thoughts, ideas, suggestions, and etc.
Well, I would like to say that this chapter was the first chapter to be reviewed by Betas before being posted up! WHooo! Thanks a bunch guys!
Disclaimer – No, I unfortunately I don't own this cool light up pen. It was not my idea, sadly. Huh?...I'm supposed to be doing what? Oh! No! Now, back to the pen.
Two Weeks To Love
Chapter 27 – Three Years Ago...Final Part – Ending the Dream
Kagome looked up, past Inuyasha's shoulder. What her eyes were met with was...surprising.
She let out a gasp of horror and shock. Her eyes were wide with surprise.
"Te―Tetsu...kun," she managed to struggle out of her mouth.
Tetsuya was standing behind them, his lips slightly parted, giving him a shocked expression on his face.
Once again, all Kagome could do was call his name out in astonishment.
"Tetsu...kun."
No other words formed in her mouth or brain.
Tetsuya immediately closed his mouth and changed his expression of shock to one more fitting. Inside of him, he was feeling, anger, hurt, betrayal. But instead of showing it, he put on a cold front. His eves no longer held warmth inside of them, but were now glazed with ice. All the emotion was gone from his face. His gaze was set steely on her.
"Tetsu...kun..."
He said coldly, "Well, I just came to surprise you, but it seems like it worked the other way."
Kagome struggled to her feet, pushing herself out of Inuyasha's arms.
"Wait, Tetsu-kun! It's not what it looks like!" she cried out, taking a step towards him, ignoring the pain.
Tetsuya said coldly, "Why should it matter to me? After all, we're just friends." He said the last part in a sort of strangled tone of voice, definitely forcing it to come out of his mouth. "I'm glad…that you found someone."
"Tetsu-kun! Please, you have to listen to me! Please!" she begged desperately.
He didn't say anything again, and Kagome took that as a chance.
"You...You...this...this isn't what it looks like..." she started, hesitantly. She nosily sucked in her breath, unsure of what to say, her face just as surprised as his. "You...You baka!" she screamed angrily.
He had a surprised look on his face. "Wha-What?"
She stood tall and said in a calm, yet anger voice, "You baka! I can't believe that you'd think something like that! You're such a baka!"
Tetsuya couldn't believe the words coming out of her mouth. She was mad at him. Instead of the other way around.
"What?"
She narrowed her eyes at him and said, "You don't believe in me! You're just jumping to conclusions! You don't even listen to what I have to say!"
Kagome kept yelling, not even knowing what she was saying about half the time. Tetsuya finally interrupted her by saying, "Kagome! Calm down!"
She stopped and looked at him, wondering, 'Why the hell am I so stupid sometimes!'
He said a bit frustratedly, "Argh, you're the one that's not listening." Tetsuya took a deep breath and muttered while turning around, "Forget it. We'll talk later."
Tetsuya walked away before Kagome could do anything.
Kagome wanted to go after him. She really did. But, her feet wouldn't move. Her feet wouldn't listen to her and move. She felt helpless.
Inuyasha stood behind her, watching the whole thing. He then watched her every move, wondering himself what he should do.
"Um…" he said rather loudly, clearing his throat.
She snapped back into the present and turned around, all of a sudden feeling stupider then she already felt.
"Um…I'm sorry about that. That was my friend. Um…I'm really sorry about that. I just kinda lost myself for a moment. How about we go back in? It's kinda getting chilly in here," she remarked, a fake smile plastered onto her face.
He could see that the smile was force, but said nothing. Instead, Inuyasha took her in his arms and murmured, "I'm sorry." He smoothed out her hair, a sad gleam in his eyes.
Kagome wanted to cry, but she held in her tears, trying not to let them fall. She just laid her head against his chest, her hands grabbing his shirt.
Inuyasha held her in his arms, bridal-style. He gently laid her down in her bed and drew the covers over her.
He took a seat next to her and brushed away the bits of hair that fell down. He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, murmuring quietly to himself, "I wonder what's wrong with me."
While he sat there brooding, he didn't notice Kagome's eyes open ever so slightly. In fact, she wasn't sleeping at all. She was hoping that it would just get her away from all the people and noise. But…there wasn't really anyway that she could fall asleep with him next to her.
Kagome shut her eyes and thought to herself, 'I can't believe it. I just practical ruined everything between Tetsuya and me. I mean, we weren't dating but…I know that I liked him and here I go kissing other guys I barely even know! Argh! Why am I so stupid? I thought I liked Tetsuya! I convinced myself that I was in love with Tetsu-chan! So, why the hell am I kissing this guy and feeling really stupid! Why! Why the hell do I have to be so weak? Why can't I decide? I'm probably just confusing Tetsu-chan even more. Geez…I'm such a terrible person….That's it! I'll explain to him that I was just feeling down, I mean, with getting married to that creepy bastard Naraku, who the hell wouldn't be? And that I just sorta…rushed. And that I actually have someone that I love! Yes! That is what I should do! Now…if only I could bring myself up to say it to him.'
She mentally sighed and took a peek out of an eye. She was surprised by a pair of golden eyes staring back into her own brown ones. She felt her chocolate brown eyes widen and she turned away, blushing.
"So you were awake."
She struggled up to a sitting position and said sheepishly, "You knew."
He smiled and said, "I had a hunch. After all, you kept opening your eyes and lifting your head. Who wouldn't know?"
Kagome offered a weak smile and laugh.
"I guess I should thank you properly. I'm really grateful to you. If it hadn't been for you, I never would have been able to make it through this trip. And at the same time, I'm really sorry. I probably confused you and hurt you. I'm really sorry," she said, slowly looking in his eyes.
Bad mistake.
She began feeling herself drawn towards him the minute, no the second she looked into his eyes.
He asked quizzically, "What's going on? Sounds like you're leaving soon."
Kagome confessed, her eyes never leaving his, "I'm leaving tomorrow morning."
His eyes were soon filled with disappointment, and he broke away from the gaze, saying, "Hm, is that so?"
Then all of a sudden, Kagome heard herself saying, "If you want, do you wanna meet? I mean, if you live around me that is."
He smiled a bit and said, "Sure."
They exchanged phone numbers and she said, "How about we meet…July 21, at 6. At the…umm… big fountain in the Tokyo Park."
Inuyasha agreed and before they knew it, they were saying their good byes.
"Well, see you on the 21st," he said, going through the adjoining door. "Yeah, I hope you come!" she yelled out after him.
They briefly gave each other a smile before closing the doors.
End of Flashback
"And so?" inquired Rin curiously. Just like the other girls in the room, she was hooked onto the story.
"It's becoming such a tragic story! A tragic past love!" Yuri said, sighing.
Kagome had a sweatdrop on her head saying, "Tragic? That's not what I would call it."
Natsumi elbowed the girl in the ribs, telling her to shut up. She turned her attention back to Kagome and said, "So, did you guys meet up?"
She shook her head and said, "Does it look like we met up? I was too afraid that he wouldn't show up, so I never went."
They all sat there, gaping at her as if she was the world's most stupidest person.
"What? Did I do something wrong or something?" she asked, looking at their faces uncertainly and a bit worriedly.
"You didn't go!" screamed Yuri disbelievingly.
"Why did you go Kagome!" Rin cried out in horror.
"Kag! You're so stupid sometimes!" yelled out Natsumi.
She stared at the three girls, remembering that Sango did the exact same thing when she first told her.
"I was scared! I was afraid that he wouldn't show up! What do you want me to do! I was too scared to go!" she said in her own defense.
"But why!" they all screamed at once.
She sighed and said to herself, "And this is why I told myself that I would never tell another person. Because they start yelling at me."
Sango raised her head from the pillow and said quietly, "There's someone around that corner."
The five girls stood up and cautiously walked over to see who it was.
There stood the guilty faces of Tetsuya, Kouga, Inuyasha, and Miroku. Not really Sesshomaru. Even though he was there.
"EEK!" screamed Kagome, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU ALL THINK YOU'RE DOING HERE! WHY THE HELL AREN'T YOU IN THE BEDROOM!"
She was utterly mortified that they heard her story. Especially Tetsuya and Inuyasha. Sure, they were a part of the past, but she didn't want them to hear her version. She felt herself turning red, maybe from the embarrassment, or maybe it was from anger. Either way, she shouted at them for at least five minutes.
They all sat back down in the living room, all the guys had a huge bump on their head (except Sesshomaru).
"Geez," said Inuyasha irritatedly, rubbing his sore spot, "You didn't hafta hit me."
"Well," she started huffily, "You didn't hafta listen." She glared at them. "All of you."
Tetsuya had a sheepishly look on his face, and Miroku was too busy trying to hit on Sango. Kouga, was just eyeing Natsumi. Rin and Sesshomaru disappeared.
Inuyasha glared right back at Kagome and said, "That's why you didn't come?"
She blinked a couple of times and said, "Huh?"
"Oh please. I'm sure you heard me the first time. I'm asking you if that's why you didn't come."
She noted that his tone was…a bit strange. Not like the normal Inuyasha.
Kagome bit her lip and said in a faint voice, "Yes."
He abruptly stood up and muttered, "I'm going out." With that, he left the living room.
"Inu…yasha…" she said, looking at his retreating figure.
I hope you all had fun reading this chapter! Please look forward to the next! And my updates might not be that frequent around this time! Yeah, holidays and exams are coming. I'll try to update as much as possible, but I might be hindered by exams. Damn those stupid pieces of paper that determine my grade and life.
Well, that's all I have to say! Please look forward to the next chapter! Which will be (hopefully) posted up soon! I will update as first as I can! See ya!
