Loving You

Chapter 5 A Different Side of You

Author: Ok, before we get started, I'm gonna make things a bit clearer. Ever since I wrote this story, I haven't gave you guys enough 411 (info) First off, Kagome, Kikyo are sophomores and Inu's a senior. Since Inu's a senior, he gets to go home early, that's how it is at my school so I'm gonna keep it to make things easier for me. I hope I made every thing clear now, but I'm sorry if I didn't. Damn I'm talking too much again...Sorry to interrupt.. Lets get on with the story.

'What the hell is wrong with me? Ever since that girl, what her name....Kagome moved here, my brain hasn't been functioning right. Something about her makes me have this weird feeling inside. Every time she looks at me, I feel myself hesitating. It's like I've known her all my life, but that's not possible..or can it?' Inu-Yasha asked himself as he waited for his girlfriend to be released from school. (Those of you who didn't read my info, you might be confuse of why Inu isn't in school with Kikyo.sorry to interrupt.)

Three, Two, One.ding..ding..ding... (School bell ring for release)

"Uh-oh!!!" Kikyo gasped

"You ok Kikyo?" Kagome asked with worried expression.

"I just remember, I have to stay after school to retake my math test, I failed it"

"So..."

"Inu-Yasha is waiting for me At the but loading zone"

"Oh!!!"

"Hey Kag! Can you maybe tell him not wait for me? I don't know when I'm gonna finish the test."

"Uhhh...I..."

"Please..."

"Alright, alright already, I'll tell him."

"I know you two 'still' don't get along, I wouldn't have asked you, but I have no other choice." (And another thing...Kag has been at her new school for nearly two month..)

Bus loading zone....

Kagome spotted Inu-Yasha in his car, mind drifting off some where. *gulp* 'here goes nothing.' Kagome walked over to Inu-Yasha's car. 'He didn't notice me, that's something new. Usually he will be cracking jokes or fighting with me right about now.' "Um..Inu-Yasha?"

No answer..

"Inu-Yasha...hellooooooo?" Kagome waved a hand in front in Inu's face.

"Wha.." Inu snapped out of his thoughts. He was a bit shock to see Kagome near him, especially after he is 'thinking' about her. "What do you want?" He snarled

"Kikyo said she's taking a retake, so she told me to tell you that you don't have to wait for her." Kagome said nervously

"Feh..is that all? Fine" Inu-Yasha hissed has started his car. He looked over to Kagome and notice her frowning. "Hey wench...what's with the face?"

"Um.nothing" Kagome began to fiddle with her skirt.

"No ride home?"

Kagome nodded. Inu-Yasha looked at the sky 'It probably gonna rain, and from here to her house will take awhile if she walks' "Hey.get in, I'll take you home."

Kagome looked a bit surprised, but accepted the offer. She climbed into the front and adjusted. 'What the heck is up with him? Sometime he's an ass, but sometime he's kindda nice. I just don't get him.' Kagome was deep in thoughts; she didn't even notice that Inu-Yasha was staring at her in the corner of his eyes. 'Wench' he thought as he began to pull away from the drive way.

Kagome's house....

"Well, thanks for the lift!" Kagome gave Inu-Yasha a little smile.

'Damn the freaking hell, I'm having that feeling again. Gotta get outta here' Inu-Yasha drove away with such speed, before looking back at her with his rear mirror. "Feh"

"He definitely has a problem." Kagome mumbled which only she can here.

Later that night...

*ring*ring*

"Hello!" Sota answered the phone. "Hey sis, it's for you" Sota yelled up stair

"Yeah.....yeah I'll be right down." Kagome rushed down, wrapping a towel over her hair.

"Hello?"

"Hey Kag, it's me Kikyo. You busy tomorrow?"

"Not really. Why?"

"We're going to the new shopping center tomorrow. Wanna come?"

"Uh.sure"

"Ok, cool I'll see you then."

"Ok, bye!!" With that Kagome hung up the phone. She turned and walked up stair.

"Kagome honey, aren't you gonna eat dinner?"

"No mom, I'm not hungry"

In her room, Kagome laid on her tummy, head propping on the pillow. 'That guy, Inu-Yasha.something about him makes me feel..queasy. N-no more like nervous' *shrug* Kagome switch position so she could be on her back, with her hand rested in back of her head. 'Darn it all, why does my mind keep drifting back to that weirdo?' 'I wonder... I wonder how my friends are doing. Ho.Hojo...somehow I don't miss him much. Do I still like him?' With the last thought, Kagome drifted off.

Morning...

The sun beamed into Kagome's face, forcing her to open her eyes. *yarn* 'What time is it?' Kagome looked at the clock 'Only seven? Might as well stay awake' Kagome had an early head start. Usually it would take her forever to get out of bed. Some how today feels different. Is it because she gonna meet...him in a short while?

Afternoon..

*Beep*Beep*

Kagome gave her mom a quick kiss before she ran out the house. "I don't know when I'm gonna be home, so don't wait for me, I have the keys, bye"

Once outside, Kagome walked to Inu-Yasha's car, avoiding the glaring he gave her.

"Hey Kag! All set?"

"Umhum."

"Lets go shopping"

Kagome gave Kikyo a grin and looked up to the rear mirror to look at Inu- Yasha. Noticing that Inu-Yasha was looking at her through the mirror, she also gave him a grin.

'Damn' Inu-Yasha looked away from the mirror, pretended that he didn't see her. He quickly drove off.

'Geez.Does he really hate me that much?' Kagome thought.

It didn't take long before they got to their destination. Kagome was the first to get out. Her jaw dropped at the sight of the huge place. 'It so big'

"Wow, this place is huge" Kikyo said hugging Inu's arm (Get your hands off him.) "Don't you think Inu-Yasha?"

"Yeah.what ever" He kept his eyes on Kagome. Her eyes seem to have grown bigger at the sight of the shopping center. Inu-Yasha couldn't keep but smile inwardly 'She looks so cu..' Inu-Yasha shook his head at that thought 'What the hell am I thinking.'

"Inu-Yasha, you ok?" Kikyo seem to notice Inu-Yasha action.

"Huh....yea I'm ok" Inu-Yasha said holding onto his girlfriend's hand

Kagome heard Kikyo and Inu-Yasha talking and turned around to look at them. She notice Inu-Yasha looking at her every now and then, she quickly swirled around, back to him, blushing. 'Snap out of it, Kagome. Stop blushing they're going to notice.' Kagome jumped when she felt a tap on her shoulder.

"You ready to go? Kikyo said tugging on Kagome's arm.

"Uh." Before she could answer, Kikyo have already tugged her to a near by store.

Inu-Yasha strolled behind, staring at Kagome and how cu.ahem.she was.

They spend nearly three hours walking around and Kagome was getting very tired. 'Man, when Kikyo said 'lets shop', I didn't think she meant shop.' Kagome said looking at Kikyo with at least five shopping bags on each arm. Kagome on the other hand only had one bag, a small one too.

"Kagome, c'mon lets go to this store."

"Um.can I set this one aside, I kindda feel tired"

"Sure, then wait for me."

"Ok." Kagome watched Kikyo disappeared into the store. Kagome sigh and took a seat on a bench nearby.

With his hand in his pocket, Inu-Yasha gazed after Kagome. Feeling tired himself; he decided to take a seat next to Kagome. "Can I sit?"

"Uh.s-sure." Kagome made room for Inu-Yasha to sit.

Both Inu-Yasha and Kagome heart began to race knowing that they are sitting near each other.

Long silence... 'Damn it! This feels uncomfortable; I need to say something, anything.'

"Hum." Both Inu-Yasha and Kagome said at the same time. Both blushing, turning away from each other.

"So..uh.how's it going?" Inu-Yasha manage to dig out 'Baka, That all you can say'

"It's alright I guess. Um..what about you?"

"Same"

Another long silence..

'I'm not enjoying this' Inu-Yasha started to get annoyed

'It's getting tense' thought Kagome

They were saved when Kikyo called for them

"Ahh.Kag can you hold the bags for me? I really need to use the bathroom"

*sweat drop* "S-sure." Kagome said grabbing the bag from Kikyo. When she did, Kikyo ran straight to the bathroom, leaving Inu-Yasha and Kagome stunt. "Wha.what just happen?"

"Beats me" Inu-Yasha shrugged before the two of them trailed after a long gone Kikyo.

Kagome was still amused of the huge shopping center, that she crossed the street not noticing the 'don't walk' sign and a car were speeding her way.

"KAGOME..." Inu-Yasha screamed...

Kagome snapped out of her trance, but it was too late to move away from the speeding car..

TBC...
