ch7bl Chapter 7~Jealousy

Kagome woke to the irritating beep of a heart monitor and frantically looked around the room. It was empty. She sighed, looking out the window in disappointment.
A little while later, she heard the door open and didn't look up.
"Kagome-san, you have a guest..." A voice said.
She slowly looked over to the door and saw a young nurse. "Alright..." The door opened some more and she saw Inuyasha wearing a hat and sunglasses. She took in his outfit, surprised. "Inuyasha..." She said, surprised.
He walked towards her, and took her hand gently. "Kagome..." He whispered, his eyes concerned. Her smile made relief corse through him and he almost choaked on a sob. "KAGOME!" He cried, hugging her tightly.
She hugged him back, tears rolling down her face. "I love you..." She whispered, her voice happy.
"I love you, too..." He responded, his hands going to either side of her head as he stared at her. He swallowed, kissing her gently, his lips parting after he felt hers do so. He heard the door reopen, but was beyond caring who saw him kissing her.
"Higurashi-san!" Hojo gasped, his face startled.
Kagome's eyes snapped open and she pulled back from Inuyasha slightly. "Hojo-kun...what are you doing here?"
Inuyasha looked confused as he smelled his beloved's tension. "Kagome?" He asked softly.
"How long?" The boy asked, a look of anger on his face.
"A long time..." She responded, her hand claiming Inuyasha's as she looked down at the blanket.
"Why did you lead me on, Higurashi-san?"
"I'm sorry, Hojo-kun, I like you, but not how you want me to...I never will...my heart had already been given away when I met you..." She caressed Inuyasha's calused hand, studying it. "It may have been a bit battered, but it still belongs to him..."
"This freak?" Hojo asked, his face angry.
Kagome's eyes narrowed. "I'm speaking to my mother when she arrives to get you removed from my guest list. Only my family and Inuyasha will remain on it." She hung her head. "Leave, Hojo. Now."
He threw the bouquet of roses at her, and they hit the bed, falling to the floor before he stormed from the room and slammed the door.
Kagome winced and looked down. "Sorry about that, loose end..." She explained.
He nodded. "I understand. As long as I know he never had your heart..." He looked down, blushing slightly.
She gently caressed his face, leaning forward to kiss him again. Seconds before their lips touched, the door opened again and a large group of Kagome's friends burst in. "KAGOME!"
She sighed, her head falling into her hand as Inuyasha moved away slightly. "Never a dull moment..." She groaned, resting back against the pillow.
"Ohmigod, your doctor is so cute!" The girls hadn't even acknowledged Inuyasha's prescense just yet, which suited him fine. "I hear he's intrested in you and wants to talk to your parents about becoming your fiancee! Can you believe it?!"
Kagome felt her heart ice over. Her eyes flitted over to Inuyasha and saw his eyes wide in shock. "I wouldn't agree with it if he tried. I'd vanish..."
"Kagome, you still haven't gotten over that two-timer yet?!"
Kagome looked down, smiling faintly. "That two-timer is in the room..." She said, extending her hand to Inuyasha. He moved over to her, taking her hand into his own and kissing it gently.
The girls gawked. "THAT'S HIM?!" They squeeled, shocked.
Inuyasha flushed as girls crowded around him. "No wonder you didn't want to let this one go, he's so cute, so, ya ever planning on marrying him?"
Inuyasha's eyes met Kagome's and she blushed. "I'd like to...but I haven't really been planning on anything except getting out of middle school..."
He smiled at her. "I have been..." He said, a rather sheepish look in his eyes.
Kagome's eyes widened. "Really...?"
He nodded, smiling down at her. He played with the fingers of her right hand and reached into his pocket, pulling something out. "You will marry me, right?"
She blushed, smiling.
His hand opened and he showed her an intricate ring made of gold wire and inlaid with three pearls.
Tears filled Kagome's eyes as he gently slipped the ring over her finger, lifting it to his lips and placing a tender kiss on it. "Inuyasha..." She whispered, as a tear fell from her eyes, sliding down her face.
The girls squeeled. "KAGOME! I'm so jealous!!!!" One said, bouncing. "Inuyasha-kun, propose to me too!"

Inuyasha facefaulted while Kagome did a the best rendition of the same thing she could do laying down. "BAKA!" She groaned, then giggled, watching Inuyasha peel himself off the ground.
