Love Of Sorrow

Part 6

Kagome groaned and turned facing her nightstand. She slowly opened her eyes and shut off the alarm clock. She sat up and blinked a few times to get rid of the sleep. Then she heard the soft tapping noise. She stood up and went over to her curtains.

She opened them and was treated by the sight of storm clouds and rain falling. She sighed and looked at her calendar. It was April, the month when it rained the most. There were only two things that were good about this month. One, she got to sleep in more often. Two, her birthday was this month.

"I better get ready for school." she thought. kagome grabbed her towel and headed for the bathroom.

kagome stepped out of the shower and looked at her clock. She only had thirty more minutes until class started. Kagome quickly dried her hair and put it in a tight bun. She got dressed quickly and grabbed her back pack and bolted for the door.

When she came out of the building it was still raining. She groaned and pulled out her umbrella. She began swiftly walking to class. No one was outside, and Kagome thought the whole school was deserted.

"Probably already in class." Kagome concluded. Then she noticed someone walking in front of her at a quick pace. That's when she noticed it was Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome called.

He didn't respond.

"Inuyasha!" she called again and still no response. Kagome quickened her pace and got in front of Inuyasha.

He stopped. He didn't look at her and Kagome's eyes filled with concern.

"Inuyasha, are you alright?" she asked.

"I'm fine." he replied flatly. He began to walk again and Kagome followed him.

"Are you sure Inuyasha?" she asked. "You just seem so distant."

"I'm fine." he said again. His voice had taken a sharper tone. Kagome stepped back slightly surprised. She looked down, and the two were silent.

"I'm sorry if I bothered you." she mumbled and began to run down the sidewalk. Inuyasha watched as she left and he sighed. He couldn't look at Kagome. Not after that day. Inuyasha began walking to class.

"Why...why is he so distant?" Kagome thought.

"Kagome." Kagome was pulled out of her thoughts when Kaede called her name.

"What's wrong with you Kagome?" Kaede asked.

"Nothing." Kagome responded. The two were heading towards the cafeteria. Kaede raised an eyebrow.

"I don't think it's nothing, Kagome tell me." she said.

"It's about Inuyasha." Kagome said. Kaede's eyes flashed with worry.

"What about Inuyasha?" she asked.

"It's nothing really, it's just that he's been so..."

"Distant." Kaede finished for her and Kagome nodded.

"How did you know?" she asked.

"He's been like that ever since that day you won that running competition. I don't know, probably a guy thing." Kaede said.

"Maybe." Kagome said.

"Cheer up Kagome. Inuyasha will be fine. What we need to worry about is your birthday." Kaede said. Kagome smiled.

"If your planning something, don't tell me." she said.

"I won't." Kaede said.

"Rain, rain, rain." Kagome thought as she walked back to her dorm. It had been raining for the past three days. She just hoped it would clear up. Kagome opened the door to dorm and dropped her back pack at the foot of her desk.

"I forgot!" Kagome exclaimed. Kagome had promised the others that she would be at the library after school. They all had a math test coming up, and she really needed to study. Forgetting her umbrella Kagome grabbed her back pack and left.

"There she is." Kikyou said looking up from her book. Kagome stopped and took a breath. She had run the whole way. Sesshoumaru snickered.

"What happen to your hair Ojousan?" he asked. Her once neat bun was completely soaked in water. Several strands of dark hair clung to her face. She blushed slightly and brushed them away. She put her hair in a quick pony tail.

"I forgot my umbrella Sesshoumaru." she responded. She took a seat next to him. Kikyou was in the other seat next to him.

"I thought you'd be ready for the test." she said.

"No, I want to study just to make sure." Kagome responded bringing out her math book. "At least I'm not the last one here."

"Sorry we're late." The three looked up to see Kaede and Inuyasha. Kikyou smiled.

"That's okay." she said. The two took a seat. Kagome eyed Inuyasha carefully but he was avoiding her eyes. He sat across from her and brought out his math book. Soon Miroku and Sango.

Miroku looked at her, and she slowly looked up at him from her book. He smiled slightly and went back to studying. Kagome blushed faintly but then she felt someone else looking at her. She looked straight ahead. To see Inuyasha eyes were staring at her. Inuyasha broke out of his trance and his eyes went blank again. He looked back down in his book. But Kagome had seen something, but she couldn't tell what.

"Kago." Kagome turned to see Sesshoumaru looking at her. "Did I do this right?" Kagome glanced at the paper and nodded.

"Yeah, it's right." she said. "You might pass this test." Sesshoumaru brighten.

"You think so?" he asked.

"I think not." Everyone turned towards kikyou. "Sesshoumaru, what did you get on the last math test?" Sesshoumaru blushed.

"Well...I..."

"What about the one before that?"

"Umm...."

"Kikyou he can always improve." Sango said. kikyou stood up and walked up to Sango. She bent down and whispered something in her ear. Sango's face broke out in disbelief. she looked at Sesshoumaru.

"There not that bad." he said. Sesshoumaru stood up.

"Kikyou what makes you think you'll pass this test?" he asked. She smirked.

"It's actually very simple." she said. Kaede rolled her eyes.

"Here they go again." she said.

"I'm smart Sesshoumaru." Kikyou said. "Do you want to make a bet?"

"I'm listening." Sesshoumaru said.

"If I get a higher grade than you. You have to wait on me, hand and foot, for a month." Kikyou said.

"And if I get a higher grade than you. You'll wait on me hand and foot, for two months." Sesshoumaru said.

"Your on." Kikyou said. "This is going to be too easy."

About three hours later the group left the library, heading their separate ways. It was still raining outside.

"Inuyasha I'm going with Sango to the book store." Kaede said. Inuyasha nodded and began walking. He hadn't walked far when stopped abruptly.

"Do you want something?" he asked. Kagome was silent for a moment.

"Why...are you avoiding me?" she asked. Inuyasha didn't answer.

"Why?" Kagome asked again.

"I'm not." Inuyasha finally responded. He began walking but Kagome got in front of him.

"Yes you are." Kagome said. "What did I do?" Inuyasha looked away from her.

"Nothing." he snapped. Kagome looked down at her feet for a moment then she stepped closer to him and put her hand on his cheek. She gently moved his face so he was looking at her. Her eyes were pleading.

"Tell me." she said. Inuyasha stayed quiet.

"Tell what I did wrong. I'm sorry if I made you upset." Kagome said. "You won't talk to me, you avoid me. I don't know what to do." She wrapped her arms around him and held him.

"Please don't hate me." she pleaded. Inuyasha's eyes slightly widened.

"Kagome I..." She pulled away from him and that's when he noticed tears spill down her cheeks. The tears mixed with the rain that was already on her face. She quickly wiped them away.

"Please don't hate me." Kagome said again. She began walking away not looking back.

Inuyasha stood there stund. Did she really think he hated her? He couldn't hate her. Kagome's birthday was tomorrow. He turned around and headed for the mall.

"You may begin your test." the teacher said. The students began on it quickly. The room was completely silent, the only sound was the occasional adjusting of a seat. Kagome finished her test quickly and sat there going into deep thought.

Kagome still couldn't get her mind off of what she had done last night.

"I'm so stupid." she thought. She hadn't meant to cry. She had just missed Inuyasha and she hated it when he avoided her. Kagome glanced at the clock to see there was only ten more minutes left to finish the test. The teacher would grade them and pass them back at the end of class.

"Put your pencils down." The teacher said. All the students did so. Kagome looked at Kikyou to see she had a confident smile on her face. Sesshoumaru had a frustrated frown.

"It looks like Sesshoumaru's going to win this bet." she thought. Soon later the teacher handed back the test. Just then the bell rang. Kagome grabbed her books and made her way towards Sesshoumaru and Kikyou.

"So what did you get?" Kaede asked. Sango looked just as interested as Kaede. Kikyou had a look of disbelief on her face.

"I...I can't believe it." she said. Kagome walked over to her and looked at the test.

"You got a C!" Kagome exclaimed. Sango and Kaede looked at Kagome then Kikyou. All four girls looked at Sesshoumaru to see his expression was worst. Kikyou smiled.

"You must have gotten an F No, an E." she said. She put all her books on Sesshoumaru's desk. "First I want you to carry these books to my next class." Sesshoumaru yawned and stood up.

"I'll leave that to you Kikyou." he said. Kikyou gave him a confused look.

"What are you talking about?" she asked. Sesshoumaru turned around.

He smirked.

"I got a B" he said. All their eyes widened.

"Talk about the unexpected." Kaede said. Kikyou stood there stund.

"Well KIkyou you can start by carry my books." Sesshoumaru said cheerfully. "Oh, and don't forget my back pack. Also I'll have...pizza for lunch." Sesshoumaru walked out of the classroom, the biggest grin on his face.

"It's finished." Keade said looking at the ballroom. She smiled. "Beautiful."

"Thanks Sango for letting us use your place for the party." Kaede said. Sango smiled.

"No problem, I enjoyed it." he responded.

"Now all we need is the birthday girl." Kaede said.

"Sesshoumaru's taking care of that." Kikyou said. "I'm glad I'm not with him. He been bossing me around all day."

Kagome walked out to the parking lot of the college. The black sport car pulled up in front of her. Kagome stepped in. Sesshoumaru was at the driver's seat.

"Sesshoumaru, are you sure were studying today?" Kagome asked disappointed.

"Yeah." Sesshoumaru replied. "We have another test coming up." Kagome sighed. It was her birthday. and she was about to study.

"Some birthday." she mumbled. Sesshoumaru glanced at her.

"Say something?" he asked.

"Nothing." Kagome said giving him a fake smile. Soon later they pulled up in front of Sango's. Kagome

stepped out of the car. Sesshoumaru lead her inside. The whole house was quiet. Kagome frowned.

"Sesshoumaru where is everyone?" she asked.

"There here." Sesshoumaru said. Finally the two had stopped in front of two huge wooden doors.

"There in there?" Kagome asked and Sesshoumaru nodded. He opened the doors.

The room was pitch black.

"Come on." Sesshoumaru said as he walked in. Kagome stood there for a moment but soon followed him in.

"Sesshoumaru don't you think we should turn on a light?" she asked.

There was no reply.

"Sesshoumaru?" Kagome called.

Still no reply. She started to get nervous.

"Stop joking Sesshoumaru! Come out!"

"SURPRISE!!" Kagome's eyes widened as looked to see, she was standing in front of a giant cake.

Then balloons fell from the ceiling. Sesshoumaru was beside her, he smiled.

"Happy Birthday Kagome." he said. He handed her his gift and gave her a peck on the cheek.

"You tricked me." she said.

"And we got it on camera." Kikyou said.

"Happy Birthday ." Kaede said. She handed her gift.

"Happy Birthday Kagome." Sango said. and also handed her a gift

"Blow at out the candles." Sango said. Kagome took in a breath and blew out the candles. Cheers were

heard throughout the room.

"Let the party begin!" Sesshoumaru exclaimed.

Miroku walked into the ballroom. He had spent two hours at the mall trying to pick out a gift. He looked

around to see Kagome talking with Sango. He slowly walked over to her, each step he took he got more

and more nervous.

Sango saw Miroku coming and smiled.

"Kagome turn around." Sango said.

"Why?" Kagome asked.

"Kagome." Kagome turned around to see Miroku standing there.

"That's why." Sango responded before leaving.

"Miroku, you came." Kagome said. Miroku nodded.

"I'm sorry I'm late. I was...was...here." He handed her the gift. Kagome looked at him and smiled.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Open it." Kagome responded. Kagome opened the box and her eyes widened. She pulled out the gold

chain necklace. In the middle of the chain was a heart shape diamond.

"Miroku, I can't take this." Kagome said. Miroku ignored what she said and put the necklace on her.

Kagome looked at him.

"You look perfect." he said.

Inuyasha looked at the two as he leaned on the opened the doors. He looked at his gift and though that his gift wasn't much he turned around and left. Kagome glanced at the doorway to see Inuyasha leaving. She looked at Inuyasha.

"I'll right back." she said. She made her way outside. When she came outside, it was raining. She sighed. Kagome looked around to see Inuyasha walking down the sidewalk.

"Inuyasha." Kagome called. Inuyasha stopped and turned around. Kagome walked up to him. She looked at him then glanced down at the gift in his hands. Her eyes shone with curiosity. Inuyasha followed her eyes to see she was staring at the gift. He handed the it to her.

"Happy Birthday Kagome." he said. Kagome opened the gift.

It was a flute.

"This is...is..." Inuyasha began.

"I know it's not that great." Inuyasha said. looking at the necklace Kagome looked up at him.

"That's not what I was going to say." she said. She smiled. "A Flute, now that's not original."

she looked back at the flute to see a card hidden under the flute..

Kagome came closer to Inuyasha and hugged him tightly. She whispered in his ear.

"Thank-you." She kissed his cheek and pulled away. Inuyasha blushed.

"Your welcome." he said. Kagome looked down at herself.

"I'm soaked. Why don't we go back inside and enjoy the party." she said. She held out her hand to him and Inuyasha unconsciously took it.

"I'd like that." he said. Kagome smiled she glanced at their entwined hands before leading Inuyasha back

to the ballroom.

Inuyasha headed to Kaede while Kagome just stand right next to the door to dry off. Kagome pick up the card and began to read the poem

"In a dream." Kagome Began

I tried not to love you,

but my love is deep and true,

There's nothing that I'd rather do,

than spend my life with you,

looking into your eye I feel,

like I'm gazing into,

a beautiful dream,

I imagine endless romance,

beneath the moonlight,

silver stream

you're an angel to these eyes,

and you don't even have to try

heaven sent you to me

as if you'd fallen from the sky

you're an unending desire

my greatest need

you make my heart come alive

my soul bleed

I'm set free from the chains

that once held me back

every time I hold you

close to me

and when you put your hand in mine

I feel that I can become

all I ever hoped to be.

After Kagome was finish she close her eyes and held the card to her chest. Thinking all the pain she has cause Inuyasha. How could she be so mean..

I hope that those Kagome and Inuyasha fans enjoyed this. Well tell me what you think. There's more to come! What did u think of the poem I hope u like it. I Have made the next chapter and to tell u it's very exciting your can't miss the next chapter. Don't think that Inuyasha and Kagome will be together after this chapter. Because u haven't readed the whole think to make sure…
