Chapter 2: Who's fault?
"Come on Inuyasha! You agreed yesterday!" Miroku said while trying to pull the retreating Inuyasha. "I'm not going in there and you can't make me!" Inuyasha tried to break free and run away. "Stop being such a baby." Miroku was close to pulling Inuyasha inside the café. With a growling voice, Inuyasha said "Don't call me a baby!" Passerbies pass by them to avoid the 'weird' people.
Finally for what seemed like two hours, Miroku succeeded in getting Inuyasha to get into the café. While walking in the café, Sango spotted them and waved at them to come over where she's sitting. Miroku had to drag the poor Inuyasha over to her.
As Inuyasha got closer, he spotted a familiar girl's head sitting next to Sango. Inuyasha only saw the back of her, since her back was turned to them. She had long wavy black hair. It went a little past her shoulder. For a minute, she seemed kind of familiar to him.
"Inuyasha?" Miroku asked while waving a hand in front of his face. Sensing that Inuyasha was dazed, Miroku slapped him front the back of his head to wake him up from his dazed situation.
Snapping out from spacing out, Inuyasha yelled at Miroku. "WHAT YOU DO THAT FOR!?" he said while rubbing his head painfully. All eyes in the café were at him and everyone stopped what they were doing. Everything was silent that the breezy wind could be heard outside. Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha sweat dropped.
"Eh . . sorry." Inuyasha mumbled. Everyone went back to what they were doing before. Inuyasha gave Miroku an 'I'm gonna get you for this.' look and followed him to the table. Inuyasha kept giving Miroku cold glares that he was getting goosebumps.
As Inuaysha sat down, the girl who looks familiar to him turned her head towards him. Inuyasha stared in shock at her. "Miroku, Inuaysha, meet Kagome, my best friend." Sango introduced Kagome to them. Kagome smiled and then turned to Inuyasha wondering why he is staring at her strangely. "Uh. . .Inuyasha. I think you could stop staring now. Or else your going to scare her away." Miroku whispered to Inuyasha.
"Sango, why is that Inuyasha boy keep on staring at me?" Kagome whispered asking Sango. Sango shrugged and said "Inuyasha, is something wrong?"
"K . . .ou?" was all Miroku could hear from Inuyasha, since Inuaysha was talking very quietly. "Hm?" Miroku stared at his buddy questionly. "Kikyou?" Inuyasha said aloud. "Hm?" Kagome was getting very confused now.
"Kikyou! What are you doing here? I thought you left?" Inuyasha stood up with his hands on the table, as he stared at Kagome. "What are you talking about? I'm not Kikyou. I'm Kagome." Kagome said. Looking at her more closely, Inuyasha realized that she looks like Kikyou, but differently. "Feh! Nevermind wench." Inuyasha then left the place.
"Wench!? What's the matter with him? One minute he's calling me 'Kikyou' and the next, he's calling me a 'wench'!" Kagome said to Sango. "Don't mind him. He's just thinking about the past. That's all." Miroku explained to Kagome. "Thinking about it, you do look a little like Kikyou. . ." Sango examined the appearence of Kagome and Kikyou. "Sango!" Kagome exclaimed not believing her friend would think she looks like another girl. "Come to think of it, you really look somewhat like Kikyou." Miroku said getting into the subject. "Miroku! Not you too." Kagome groaned and layed her head on the table.
~*~*~*~
Inuyasha walked home in the snow, muttering something. "Feh. Stupid. After I finally forgot about Kikyou, this girl shows up looking somewhat like her."
Inuyasha continues walking in the snow while snow start falling from the sky as sparkling white crystals.
~*~*~*~
Kagome reached home and slumped down on her bed. Resting her eyes, she thought how weird that guy was. Not to mention how good-looking he is.
'I wonder if I could ever meet him again. Kagome thought, as she rested.
~*~*~*~
Next day, Kagome entered a café. After ordering a café, she went to look for a seat. In the corner of her eye, she saw something white.
"Is this seat taken?" a voice asked as Inuyasha looked up. "Oh, it's you. Take it if you want." Inuyasha said roughly as he went back to reading the newspaper and sipping his coffee.
Seating herself on the chair, she asked "Why are you always like this when you're around me. What did I do to make you mad at me?" looking at him with stern and worried eyes. Looked up saying simply, "It's because of everything about you." Shocking Kagome, she asked quivering, "What about me that you hate . . . so much." "What is it that I hate you so much? It's because of your face, how you look. It annoys me just looking at you. At least you have a family! At least you have a better family, a better childhood memories! Your life is just full of happiness!!!" Inuyasha finally exploded with expressions full of pain and hate.
Looking down with her hands in fists on her lap, tears slowly came out. More tears came out and wetted her cheeks and her lap. Finally looking up with full of tears, Kagome shouted, "What would you know!? You don't know anything about me!" Grabbing her stuffs, she ran out of the café into the cold snowy winter.
Looking down, Inuyasha regretted saying those things to her. The café went silent after the commotion that went on. He grabbed his stuffs and silently left the café, as the harsh wind could be heard outside.
~*~*~*~
Running back to her home, she went in and slammed the door shut. Leaning on the door, more tears came out. 'Why did he have to be so cruel? His words don't have to be so harsh.' Kagome walked to the bathroom and opened the sink water. Kagome took some water into her palms and splashed her face with the water.
*ding-dong*
Kagome turned off the sink water and went to answer the door. "Hello." Sango greeted happily as Kagome opened the door. *gasp* Sango noticed Kagome's red puffy eyes from crying. "What happened Kagome?" Sango asked concern as she stepped in and closed the door behind her. "Did someone harass you? Did they do something bad to you? Tell me and I'll help you." Sango sat next to Kagome on the sofa.
"Well, . . . " Kagome started telling her story.
~*~*~*~
Inuyasha had just finished taking his bath as he recalled what happened earlier on with her. 'I went way over the limit. Now I feel so guilty for being so harsh on her.' *sigh* Inuyasha lye back on the couch, until the click of the door interrupted his thoughts.
:"Yo, Inuyasha, how's it been?" Miroku said ask he came in and grabbed a can of soda before settling himself on the sofa. Inuyasha sighed and looked down. "Hm? What's the matter with you buddy? Did you do something wrong, like made a woman pregnant or groped someone?" Miroku asked teasingly. "Miroku! Be serious!" Inuyasha said annoyed.
"Ok ok, clam down. So really, what's bugging ya?" Miroku asked seriously as he popped the can of soda. "Well . . ." Inuyasha started.
~*~*~*~
Walking down the street, Kagome thought back to what Sango said.
~Flashback~
"Well, he shouldn't have done that, but, . . he's still gloomy about what happened in his past. Besides you do kind of look like someone from his past." Sango tried to reason with Kagome while remembering of what happened to Inuyasha in the past.
"I understand that Sango, but he shouldn't have yelled at me like that." Kagome said as she looked down.
"Well, maybe one day he'll tell you about his past. Just be patient, even if you two end up arguing. He may not feel comfortable talking about his past to anyone now. You have to think that he also have troubles like you." Sango said.
~End of Flashback~
'I wonder what did Sango meant by 'troubles like you'. Does it mean he also have problems like me?' Kagome pondered as she walked down the park.
~*~*~*~
On the other end of the street, Inuyasha is walking with his hands inside his pockets while thinking.
~Flashback~
"Hm. I see. So it's your fault." Miroku said calmly while sipping his coke. "Miroku . . . you're supposed to support me." Inuyasha said gruffly. "Well, you have to know that even though they may look the same, they're both different in various ways. So you can't yell at Kagome like that, because she reminds you of your ex-girlfriend."
Inuyasha sat there thinking then he grabbed his coat and walked out the door. "Hm? Inuyasha? Where are you going?" Miroku asked while watching Inuyasha leave. Without a single reply, Inuyasha closed the door.
~End of Flashback~
'Now I need to apologize to Kagome. Got to find her first' *sigh* Inuyasha looked up and saw Kagome walking down the street. "Kagome?" Inuyasha wondered.
~*~*~*~
Upon hearing a faint whisper of her name, Kagome looked up to see Inuyasha looking at her, while walking up the street. Kagome pondered a while before walking towards Inuyasha.
~*~*~*~
Both stopped facing towards each other. "So, . . ." both said at the same time. Then there was a silence between them. Inuyasha had to build up the courage to apologize to her. "Uhm . . . I'm really sorry about today. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that. It's my fault." Inuyasha said embarrass while looking down. "It's also my fault too. I look like someone who you remembered in the past right?" Kagome said while smiling a little.
Looking up, Inuyasha asked, "How did you know?" "Well, Sango told me a little about your past." Kagome answered while remembering what Sango told her. "Oh." There was once again a long silence.
Then they both heard a rustle behind the bushes. They looked towards the bushes, suspiciously.
~*~*~*~
~Behind the bushes~
"Shhh. . .Miroku, I think they suspect something. They're kind of looking towards this way, . . ." Sango whispered to Miroku who's beside her. "You think we'd better run before they caught us spying on them?" Miroku asked her, turning towards her.
"No. If we do, it's going to expose us and then they'll know that we've been spying on them." Sango whispered looking at Miroku.
"HEY!!" A loud voice was heard behind them. Miroku and Sango both jumped back in fright. "Just what were you two doing behind the bushes huh?" Inuyasha said suspiciously, while taking a step forward. "Well, we were just sp. . ." *WHACK!* Miroku got hit on the head by Sango. Sango gave Miroku a better-not-say-it-or-we'll-be-killed look.
"Were you two spying us behind the bushes?" Kagome said accusingly, while taking a few steps forward. Miroku and Sango took a few steps backwards. "N-N-No. . . why would I do that to such a good friend." Sango said nervously, while stepping back.
"Hm. . ." Kagome and Inuyasha exchanged looks and then looked at them. "I don't like the feeling of this." Sango said while having a bad feeling. "Me too." Miroku agreed with Sango. "Get them!" Kagome shouted and both Kagome and Inuyasha ran after them. Miroku and Sango ran away trying to get away from them.
