Two Weeks To Love
Chapter 28 – Truths
Kagome looked up at the hall where Inuyasha left. In the background, she heard everyone talking loudly, most likely arguing or debating something.
"Hey," she said getting up, her eyes still fixed on the door/hall that he left through, "I'm gonna go out for something. Play around or something."
She quickly walked out of the room and got into the elevator. Pushing the lobby button, she stood there, wondering why he just left so suddenly. 'Why did he just get up and go? Is he mad or something?'
When the doors finally opened, she rounded a corner and stopped dead in her tracks.
Inuyasha was right there at where it all began. He was standing at where the stairs and corner met, staring at that spot. A frown showing up on his lips. His eyebrows were furrowed together, as through he was in deep thought.
"Ah, Inu—" She was cut off by him moving away.
She stared quizzically at him, but followed after him anyway.
He walked out to the beach, where the two of them sat. Inuyasha laid down on the sand, his arms behind his head so that it was resting comfortable on his arms.
'What's he doing out here?'
Kagome walked up to him and said, "What're ya doing out here?" She took a seat next to him.
He lazily closed his eyes and didn't bother responding.
She peered down at him out of the corner of her eye. "So…what're ya really doing here?"
"What? A person can't even go see the ocean when they want? Or must I tell you what the hell I'm doing every second," he added in dryly, "Now that we're married."
She let an inaudible sigh and said, "Well, no…you just seem like yourself. So…" 'Why did I follow him?'
They stayed silent for a few minutes.
Kagome finally broke the silence by saying, "Um…I was just wondering…but…did you really come……on that day?"
Inuyasha finally opened his eyes and peered up at her, looking at her as if she were crazy. "Of—Of course not," he said loudly, "Why the hell would I bother with something as retarded as that. Feh, you're thinking too highly of yourself, wench."
He turned away.
She looked downward and said in a small voice, "You're right……there's no reason for you to have gone." She had a small, sad smile on her face.
Kagome stood up and while brushing herself off, said, "Well, I'm gonna head back to the hotel. Make sure no one's broken anything yet or something."
"Hm." Was the only answer she got.
She sighed once more and headed back to the hotel, tired. 'I wonder if he really did come.' Then Inuyasha's words echoed throughout her head, "Feh, you're thinking too highly of yourself, wench."
She shook her head and said softly, "Maybe he's right."
Inuyasha laid very still on the sand, just staring at the ocean. He could remember that day very clearly. July 21 that is.
Flashback
Inuyasha woke up with a groan, hitting the snooze button on his alarm. He looked at the clock out from under his covers. 7:16.
"Still too damn early," he muttered, turning on the other side of the bed to sleep.
However, his blissful slumber didn't last long. His dad, Inutashio, came in and yelled really loudly, "GOOD MORNING! Wake your damn self up Inuyasha!"
In the morning, he was too cheerful for Inuyasha's taste. Just too damn cheerful.
He growled out, "Shut up already. Besides, today's the first day of summer vacation. I intend to enjoy it by sleeping."
His father shook his head with a smile. "No, you're not. Today, you will come to the office with me!"
"Hell no." Was the muffled reply.
"Tsk, tsk. I expect you to be ready downstairs to go by 7:30," he said, leaving the room.
Inuyasha growled. There was no way in hell that he would go.
Twenty minutes later…
"Dammit," he mumbled under his breath, "Why the hell am I going?"
His father merely responded by putting up the papers, covering himself.
"Stupid old man," he said in an annoyed tone. Then, he proceeded to mutter a variety of colorful words.
Just then, something on the front page caught Inuyasha's eye. Not an article or anything. Not even an ad. What caught his eye was the date.
July 21.
Today was the day that he went to go meet that girl.
"Hey, when're we comin' back?" he asked, trying to sound casual.
His father looked up from the paper and said, "Hm, why? Does it interest you? Or perhaps, you have a promise today?"
"No," was his impudent reply, "Just wanna know how long I hafta stay at that dumbass office."
His father raised an eyebrow, but said, "We will most likely get back home at 7 or 6."
"Can't we leave earlier?" asked Inuyasha, the impatience sounding up in his voice.
"Ah, so you do have something to do."
"Feh."
His father grinned and said, "Is 5 alright with you?"
"Fine."
Inuyasha hurriedly left the house saying, "I'll be back later."
"Wait! Inuyasha dear, where are you going?" his mother yelled after him, but her only response was the slamming of the door.
He quickly left the house and headed for the park, wondering why the hell he was even going.
'Why the hell am I going to meet some wench that I don't even know? I don't even know her name!'
He reached the fountain in no time, and checked his watch. 5:52.
"Feh, damn. Came too early."
Inuyasha sat down on the fountain's rim and looked around, watching with careful eyes.
It finally became 6. He began to get a bit nervous. A feeling that he didn't need. But still, an uneasy feeling settled over him.
What if she didn't come? What if she forgot? What if she didn't want to come?
Millions of questions plagued his mind as he sat there, waiting.
It slowly turned to 6:30, and still…there was no sign of her coming.
Maybe she's caught in traffic, was an answer that would suffice for now. But still, the clock slowly crawled to 7. And there was still no sign of her whatsoever.
The air began cooling, a sign that night was coming.
Maybe she's in some unbreakable meeting or something. That excuse sufficed for another worry.
Still, it became 7:30. And there was no sign of her.
Inuyasha began to think, 'What if something happened to her? And she's hurt? Or in the hospital.' With that in mind, he shook his head and said, "No, that wouldn't happen. That kinda shit only happens in dumbassed movies."
Another hour pass, 8:30, but there was no sign of her.
Maybe she can't make it. Or, maybe she's hurt. Or, maybe she has this unexplainable reason that she can't come.
However, those answers no longer sufficed for Inuyasha. He was beginning to think things like, 'What if this was all a set up? And she's actually here, laughing at me with a couple of her damn friends?'
He growled angrily. That damn wench had probably set him up!
The clock finally struck 9.
And right there, he swore that if he ever saw that bitch again, he was going to kill her. Literally.
With that, Inuyasha left the park, fuming. His eyes were seething at everyone and everything. (If looks could kill, everyone would have been dead at least 20 times.)
The following two weeks of summer vacation passed, and during the whole time, Inuyasha was pretty upset. He would snap at everyone who tried to talk to him. Letting out his anger.
The next day, he showed up at school, looking a bit haggard, but nonetheless, angry. As usual.
"Hey Inuyasha!" yelled his best friend, Miroku. He came running over to the boy and said happily, "Still pissed off at something that no one else seems to know about?"
He punched him in the head saying, "Shut the fuck up."
"Yeah….I take that as a yes," he said, sobbing.
The two walked to their first period, history, and took their rightful seats in the back. Of course, this just caused, as usual, most of the girls in the class to horde the seats around him.
"Hey Inuyasha-kun! How was your summer?" asked several of the girls, beaming.
They had spent the summer trying to become what they call, sexy. Really, how do they practice being sexy!
He just ignored them, like he usually did. This, however, (his cold demeanor) just caused the girls to fall in love with him even more.
"Ahhhh!"
"He's so cool!"
"His coldness warms up my heart!"
"Inuyasha-kun is the coolest! He's the best! No one can beat him!" And his fan club started singing their song that they made up (over summer) about him.
Miroku ducked under the desk, laughing. (He almost fell onto the floor.)
"Oh man, that's even worse then last year's song."
Inuyasha glared at him, but agreed wholeheartedly.
The bell finally rang and the teacher stepped into the room saying loudly, "EVERYONE SIT DOWN!"
They all immediately complied, but didn't stop singing.
"AND SHUT UP ALREADY!"
Just then, the door opened, revealing a girl bent over, panting slightly.
"So—Sorry..I'm…la—late," she said in between breaths.
She finally stood up and brushed the raven black hair out of her eyes, revealing a pair of warm chocolate brown eyes.
Inuyasha felt his own golden eyes widen as he saw who it was.
It was the girl from the hotel!
"Ah, you must be the new transfer student," said the teacher, eyeing her, "…Higurashi Kagome, right?"
She nodded.
"Take a seat in the back, next to Inuyasha. Raise your hand Takeda."
He did as he was told, but grudgingly.
All the girls started talking in LOUD whispers (this defeats the whole purpose of a whisper).
"No one's allowed to sit next to Inuyasha-kun! That's why that seat is always empty! Who the hell does she think she is!" all the girls started whispering to each other.
Kagome walked down the rows of desks and sat down next to him, barely even looking at him. It was like she didn't even recognize him.
Her hair hung over her eyes, but she didn't bother brushing them away this time. She just merely let them hang, covering her eyes. Her flowing long hair cascaded down in front of her face as she bent over to the ground to pick up something. It was then (when she got back up) that she actually acknowledged Inuyasha, who happened to be sitting by her the whole time. (obviously)
"Oh, hey, I'm Higurashi Kagome," she said cheerfully. This comment caused all the girls in the room to gasp, as if she was even daring to look at him, nonetheless speak to him.
He grunted and ignored her, just like he would ignore anyone else.
She peered at him curiously, "Um…hello? Did you not hear me or something?" (More gasps from the girls. She was daring to talk to him again.)
Again, she was greeted with silence.
Kagome, getting a bit annoyed, dropped her book into his…face? (Someone please, tell me how that works. XD)
"Whoops! Oh my! I'm so sorry Takeda-kun! Are you alright?" she asked with false concern. (In the background, all the girls are screaming in horror.)
Miroku had a sweat drop as he sat there thinking, 'But you did that on purpose.' (Not very bright, is he?)
Inuyasha glared at Kagome, holding his nose, which had suffered the most damage. "What the hell do you think you were doing bitch!" he yelled out angrily.
She covered her mouth with a hand in mock horror. "Takeda-kun, I'm really sorry, but that isn't the appropriate type of language to use. It was an accident!"
"Accident my ass you stupid bitch!" he yelled at her, anger flashing in his eyes.
She just smiled serenely, like an innocent person, and said, "Oh, we have to take you to the nurse! Sensei! Takeda-kun has hurt himself!"
The teacher (In a very unconcerned tone may I point out) said, "Just leave him alone. He'll be fine."
Once again, all the guys in the class sweat dropped and thought, 'Wow. She changed the story.'
Everyone in the class began going wild. All the girls either crowded around Inuyasha giving him sympathy, or giving Kagome death glares, which she ignored. The guys just fooled around. And Inuyasha and Miroku seemed to be in a conversation of their own, ignoring the rest of the people.
When the class finally settled down (the teacher had to get a microphone and yell shut up really loudly), the teacher forced them to read the entire textbook. Well…just the first 10 chapters or so, just to shut them up for the rest of the class period.
Every so often, Inuyasha would sneak a glance at Kagome, who never seemed to pay any attention.
She just stared down at her textbook, doing nothing.
In truth, Kagome was trying to ignore the stares from everyone. It was her first day here and she had already succeeded into making the whole entire female population hate her.
She inwardly groaned and wondered why she had to go to his school of all the schools in the country. He was the last person she ever expected to meet, again.
End of Flashback
After she came to his school, they began acting very cold to each other, only saying insulting remarks when they actually had to talk to each other. Oh, and aggravating each other just for pure amusement.
Inuyasha let out a sigh and just closed his eyes again, his mind still lingering.
Kagome rounded a corner and stopped. She bashed her head against the wall several times, telling herself how stupid she was, over and over.
Why didn't she just tell him the truth? Why couldn't she tell him the truth? After all these years, it shouldn't be such a big deal…right?
"Stop banging on my wall!" someone screamed from the other side. It startled her. It was then, she realized all the stares she was getting from everyone in the hall.
Kagome smiled weakly and laughed nervously. When they stopped staring, and went back to their own business, she sighed.
"Geez! Why am I so stupid? Why couldn't I just say, really? Well guess what! I came to the fountain too that day!" she remarked, groaning.
On the other side of the corner, a certain person frown.
'She came?'
Yay! It's done! I'm trying to make longer chapters, but it's still a work in progress, so yeah! I'm pretty sure I can make the next chapter longer for everyone!
Incase anyone was confused, I know I would be, lemme clarify things. Kagome said that she didn't go, but was lying. In truth, she actually did go! And, that's pretty much it!
Another announcement is that I won't be able to make frequent posts during this time! I have those damn exams coming, ugh :shudders: and it's the holiday season, so family time and stuffies! And I'm kinda half-sick, so that contributes as well! But the sickness won't stop me! Just everything else. But, I will try to update one or two more times before the year is up!
Hope you enjoyed reading! And I'll try to hurry and make another post! Byeeeeeee!
