A/N: This is my first fic. Please be nice!
Chapter 1: Really Over?
*Flashback*
Ring! Ring!
A young girl with black hair rushed to the phone. It had been ringing for a while now and she was a little late to it. But she had reasons why, her little brother had been running around the house like a lunatic with the cat, her mom asked her to help put away the groceries, and her Grampa expected her to answer the phone.
'Hello? Higurashi residence. Kagome speaking. May I ask whose calling?' she asked cheerfully.
'Where the heck was you?' an exasperated voice asked.
'I'm so sorry; I had to take care of my Grampa because he caught a cold… I didn't mean to miss your track meet,' she replied. It was her boyfriend, Inuyasha Shikon. A little arrogant at times, but she had to love him.
'Couldn't you damn momma watch him?'
'She had to go to work, Inuyasha. Money has to get here somehow, we aren't exactly rich.'
'I didn't say you were,' he retorted, his voice raising. He couldn't believe this. She was trying to get smart with him and he didn't like it one bit. 'And if that's the case, why couldn't your little brother watch him?'
'He's too little. Why are you giving me such a hard time?' Kagome was starting to get a little annoyed. Did he not believe her or something?
'I'm not, but you've never missed me run before! You're the one that cares about everyone else but me.'
His last comment stung her hard in the heart. How could he say something like that? If there was one person she cared about the most, it was him and now he was trying to make her feel bad? 'Look, Inuyasha, let me call you back because if we continue like this I might say something I'll regret.'
Her blunt response struck an anger cord in Inuyasha. Who did she think she was anyway? 'Like what? It's over?'
'Inuyasha, don't play with me,' she warned.
'Feh. Don't you play with me, woman. Here I am, always working my ass off for you and this is the thanks?'
'Inuyasha, this is your last warning!'
'Before what? You get angry?'
'I'm already angry! Before I do this.' Dial tone.
It hit Inuyasha like that! How dare she hang up on him like that? She'd get hers.
*End of Flashback*
A happy couple stood in front of a row of lockers, one was open revealing some pictures of a boy with dark eyes and a girl with hazel eyes. They were the perfect couple.
Well, not anymore.
Inuyasha ripped out pictures of him and Kagome from his locker. It was over. He stopped as he pulled out one picture. A picture of her. Kagome. She was smiling and wearing his red-and-black 'Jidai High' track team jacket. He flipped to the back of the picture:
Hey, Inu-chan
Here's a picture for you to remind yourself of me when I'm not around. I want you to know how much I love you, but there are no words that can describe the intensity.
Much love,
Kag-chan
Much love my ass, he thought bitterly, not even noticing that his best friend was talking to him.
"Inuyasha," Miroku was saying.
"What?" he growled. Inuyasha didn't want to be bothered right now. Maybe Miroku would get the hint and leave him alone.
No such luck.
Miroku looked at Inuyasha's bare locker, and then studied his friend. Something was wrong. Sure Inuyasha was usually moody, but today was a plus. Kagome had to be involved…
"What happened this time?" he asked, a little too relaxed. It was starting to become usual for Inuyasha and Kagome to have arguments.
"It all started on the damn phone…" Inuyasha paused. "Never mind." He was not in the mood to discuss it with anyone. He slammed his locker and stomped off.
Miroku shook his head. Inuyasha is so short-tempered.
Kagome was sitting by herself at a table inside of the library. Sango was supposed to meet her there, but Kagome had decided to come a little early to think.
Think about Inuyasha.
They'd been together for six months and starting today it was over. Sango's voice broke her thoughts.
"Hey, Kagome, I'm amazed you're early."
"Yeah," she managed a weak smile.
"You okay?"
"Yeah."
"Any fights with Inuyasha lately?"
"…"
"I knew it." Sango had known Kagome since kindergarten and by now had known when something was wrong with the girl. And not to mention the fact that Kagome wasn't a pro at masking her emotions. "Spill the tea."
So Kagome continued to tell her the incident, not missing a word of dialogue. "I really don't know if it's over or not, but I think it is. I've never seen Inuyasha act so immature. He acted as if I didn't care for him anymore!"
She said it a little too loud and got some disapproving looks cast her way.
"Well, you two could always make up," Sango suggested.
"I don't think it'll be that simple."
She glanced at her watch. "C'mon, Kagome, it's been long enough. Let's go to lunch before somebody sits at our table." Sango rose from her chair. "And to imagine, we didn't get a thing for our project."
"The project? I had completely forgotten about it."
In their geography class, the four of them—Sango, Miroku, Kagome, and Inuyasha—were working on a project on the history of Japan.
"Oh well. We'll have to resort to using my dad fro information or some old books." Sango flashed a smile at Kagome. "Maybe it'll even bring you and Inuyasha back together."
"I doubt it."
Miroku stood impatiently in front of the lunchroom doors. He'd been waiting for… He checked his watch. Two minutes now! Where were they? Miroku glanced back inside the lunchroom. Inuyasha had gotten served and was walking from the line. Since he was usually the first person in the lunchroom then he'd save them a table. Today, however, was different. Miroku watched in awe as Inuyasha trotted right past the table. Where was he going…?
The girls arrived only a little later. Sango was surprised to see that Miroku was waiting out there. "Miroku, why aren't you saving our table?" she asked as they walked inside.
"Well, Inuyasha was supposed to be saving it but he walked right past. Wonder why."
I know why, Kagome thought gloomily. Because I'd be at the same table.
"Kagome," Miroku said, "me and Sango are going to the line, okay?"
She nodded and took a seat at their regular table then pulled out a bag lunch. She spied around the lunchroom searching for Inuyasha. It wasn't like she was worried, just curious. Then she saw it… he was sitting with Kikyo! Kikyo Hinasaka!
'Inuyasha! Over here!' she had called. Next thing he knew was that he was sitting at her table.
Inuyasha cast a sideways glance at Kikyo. There were some rumors that she liked him, but had decided not to say anything because he was going with Kagome at the time. Inuyasha smirked. If Kikyo still liked him then… Perfect! Just wait, Kagome. You're gonna get yours…
