Chapter 6

Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Sota all walked after Rin who brought them to a staircase but Kagome fell behind wondering where Inuyasha was going. She followed him out the door and saw him go to the bushes. She listened to what he said and her heart began to break again.

"Kikyo. Come out." He said.

"Well, you did sense me Inuyasha. Am I invited to this "Ball"? Kikyo said moving closer to him and giving him innocent eyes.

"Ki…Kikyo…this is my mother's ball. I am not to invite anyone she said." Inuyasha said and he looked at her closely.

"Inuyasha, you are ashamed of me." Kikyo said moving farther away.

"No Kikyo. I will try to get you in. I am not ashamed." Inuyasha said fast and almost like he was forced to.

"Oh good Inuyasha." Kikyo said moving closer to kiss him. Suddenly Inuyasha heard a rustle behind him and he turned away from Kikyo. You could see her eyes go black once again. Inuyasha suddenly ran after the movement that ran into the castle.

NO! I cannot do this. I cannot! No…he was going to kiss her. Kikyo already took my place. Inuyasha doesn't love me.

Kagome ran into a servant while running and was knocked unconscious seeing that she was ok, the servant ran away quickly when he heard Inuyasha running that way.

"KAGOME!" He yelled worried he had made her run away.

Why am I worried? Why do I feel so guilty? What did I do wrong?

"Kagome!" came another voice from behind him and he saw a boy running to her. He growled low in his throat. First he checked to see if she was alive then turned to the boy.

"What are you doing here?" Inuyasha said slowly very threatening.

"She is my girlfriend you know." The boy said softly.

Kagome awoke and saw Hojo and Inuyasha talking. She remembered what Inuyasha had said in her dream when she had seen him. It had hurt him so much to say so but he told her to get the Inuyasha here jealous. She had agreed.

"HOJO!" Kagome said slowly getting up and limping over to him feeling the extent of her wounds. "I thought you were gone."

This is stupid. I don't even love this idiot. I can't do this….Yes I can for Inuyasha.

She slowly leaned up and kissed him on the cheek, not being able to actually kiss him. To her relief she saw Inuyasha's eyes go wide. He then got a bit red in the cheeks and had a few vein pops show up on his face.

"What are you doing Kagome?" Inuyasha said.

"Inuyasha, oh…this is my boyfriend Hojo. Hojo this is Inuyasha. He will be letting me stay here for a little while since his brother * cough * killed my mother." Kagome knew she had to be more emotional about that to add some guilt to Inuyasha even though she knew her mother was alive. She slowly brought on her fake cry and felt Hojo bring her closer to him and heard a low growl from Inuyasha.

"The ball is in 30 minutes Kagome. You might want to get ready." Inuyasha said. "And, no, he cannot come."

Kagome almost giggled at Inuyasha's expression when he said "him" but acted mad and said good-bye and see you later to Hojo and smiled.

Why am I so jealous of her stupid boyfriend. Maybe because she deserves better than that wimpy jerk. She needs someone strong and ready for anything and to protect her. Someone like…me? NO! What am I thinking. Oh whatever. Screw this, I got to get ready and ask mom about Kikyo.

"No Inuyasha." His mother said.

"But…"

"No buts. Go get ready." She said slowly and with a lot of effort behind it.

"Yes mother." Inuyasha said and walked up to his room. Little did he know what the night ahead held for him.

Author's POV: I LOVE DANCES! By the way I'm not really sure why I put this in here. It's kind of needed but I could've taken it out! Well R&R and I'll put up the chapter!
