Hi, I'm writing again! Yay! I haven't been online to see reviews yet but my friend and fellow writer was online in school ((bad, bad Seiko-chan!)) and told me I got nice reviews so I'm happy… unless she's lying to me of course… then I would just feel stooped.  I'm going to add her to my favorites as soon as I can but if you wanna check out her stories her pen name is Jei Farfarello… I think that's it anyway.  My friend Sour-chan also writes but I don't know her pn.  But as soon as I find out these things you should go read their stuff.  They are excellent!

I don't own any thing… don't sue me…

And with that said, on with the sickness!

Love sick

Chapter 4

Inuyasha dragged his feet down the street.  Kagome had been avoiding him for two days.  It was definitely the longest they had been apart and Inuyasha was starting to miss her.  I wonder if she misses me too?  Ha, yeah right, you made her cry idiot. 

Kagome didn't live too faraway but it was far enough to take the bus, which is what Inuyasha normally did, but today he felt like walking.  Feeling a bit board at the moment he swung his backpack ((which he took everywhere)) off his back and pulled Kagome's bag thing out of the largest compartment.  She had left it at his house the day he made her cry. :::wince:::  man, it's been two days! Why does everything I think about make me remember… that? 

Swinging his bag back on his …back ((heh)) he opened Kagome's and rummaged through it.  One of his favorite pass times was going through Kagome's private things.  Once, a couple years ago he was fortunate enough to come across her diary.  Inuyasha had a blast teasing her about her crush on an old classmate, Hojo.  He had moved away that same year and Kagome still didn't know how Inuyasha found out.  He wasn't quite fond of Hojo.  Ooh he was all right and all, but the man was so boring!  As far as Inuyasha was concerned… bricks were far more entertaining.

There wasn't really anything interesting in the big pocket of the bag ((a/n; just so you know, Kagome's bag is a small, shoulder, doink-doink bag so the big pocket isn't really that big)) just a pocket comb, chap stick, some… womanly products ((which made Inuyasha blush)) and that was about it.  However in the smaller pocket were some things that were far more interesting; Kagome's wallet and I little notebook. 

In the wallet there was Kagome's school I.D. lots of pictures of her friends, mostly Inuyasha, and some money ((which Inuyasha pocketed)).  He put the wallet back and was about to open the little notebook when he noticed it had a lock on it.  Well now, looks like Kagome got a new diary! Yay!  But noticing that he was dangerously close to her house, Inuyasha reluctantly put the tiny book away and placed the bag back in his own.

He walked up the steps to her front door and rang the buzzer.  Inuyasha always liked Kagome's house better than his own.  She lived on a old family shrine that had miles and miles of property attached to it.  He and Kagome use to spend hours on end in the forest behind her house playing house or tag or whatever they felt like. 

The door opened and Inuyasha found Kagome's little brother Sota glaring up at him.

"Nani?" Inuyasha asked uncomfortably.  He knew Sota had always thought of him as a kind of hero so it was no surprise that this look he was giving raised questions in Inuyasha's mind.

"What do you want?" Sota asked coldly.

"Is Kagome home?"

"Why do you care?"

"Cause I have to talk to her!  Come on Sota, let me in!"

Sota eyed him suspiciously, "Are you here to apologize?"

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow, "What exactly did she tell you?"

"That you were sick and it made her sad, but I didn't buy it so I listened to her talking on the phone," Sota paused then looked at Inuyasha thoughtfully, "Hey, whose Kouga?"

Inuyasha growled, "Is that who she was talking to?"

"No, but she was talking about him."

"Whose at the door Sota?" asked Mrs. Higurashi coming up behind her son, "ooh Inuyasha, you look like you're feeling better.  Kagome was very worried."

"Uhh, yeah," he replied, noticing that Sota was glaring at him again, "is she home? I have to talk to her."

"Yes she is, though I'm afraid she's still sleeping," she stepped aside as she spoke to let Inuyasha in, "It's about time she got up anyway, it's nearly 1:00.  Go ahead and wake her up while I get lunch started.  I'll call you mom and tell her your eating over.

"Okay," Inuyasha said heading up the stairs, not really listing.

He knocked lightly on Kagome's door.  There was no answer, so he let himself it.  The first thing he noticed was that Kagome wasn't in her bed.  He wasn't worried about that, knowing that whenever Kagome was upset about something she slept in her closet. The part that he was worried about was the fact that he probably sent her to the closet. 

Making his way across the room Inuyasha quietly opened the closet door.  Low and behold there was Kagome, who had made a nice little nest for herself out of about six pillows and her quilt. 

"Hey," Inuyasha called softly… no reaction… but he wasn't surprised. It usually took the Jaws of Life to get Kagome out of bed.  So he got on his hands and knees and crawled over to where she slept. 

Lying down on his side next to her he allowed himself a slight smile.  She was sleeping with the plushy he had made her.  Well, he hadn't exactly made it for her.  It was for his damn home economic class.  Didn't that woman understand that guy's DON'T make plushies!  Anyway Kagome had really liked it so he gave it to her.  Inuyasha didn't know why she wanted it, it was just a little white dog, but she said it reminded her of him so he shrugged his shoulders and handed the thing over.

Deciding on trying to wake her up again, he took her shoulder and again whispered, "Hey, wake up!"

This time Kagome's eyes fluttered open… only to close again after muttering, "Inuyasha… why are you trying to molest me in my sleep?"

"Feh, like I would molest you with your morning breath…" he said smirking.

Kagome pulled the quilt over her head, "ha, ha…"

"Hey Kagome…" Inuyasha asked trying to pry the quilt off her head, "are you still mad at me?"

"Yes…"

"I didn't mean it you know."

"But you still said it."

"Sorry."

Kagome sat up and snorted, "Yeah right, you jerk.  I come over, bring you soup, do your chores, try to make you feel better and the thanks I get is you calling me a slut."

"Hey! I never said that!"

"You as good as said it! Implying I go around kissing every fucking guy I see! Like I was some … some canker blossom or something!"

"Canker blossom?"

"And what the hell did Kouga have anything to do with it?!  What moron told you he was my boyfriend?"

"I saw yo-"

"I mean Kouga is nice and everything but sometimes he can be such a jerk!"

"He's always a jerk," Inuyasha mumbled, getting that Dai sea veu feeling ((a/n; okee sorry I don't know how to spell that and the spell check is no help, gomen!))

"He's always a jerk to you cause you're a jerk to him," Kagome said, trying to look as pissed as she could while yawning, "he's always really nice to me."

"Yeah, well that's cause your pretty," Inuyasha said simply, "it's not cause he really likes you.  So you shouldn't be kissing him when he's gonna treat you like crap."

"There you go with the kissing thing again!" Kagome growled narrowing her eyes, "When have you ever seen me kiss him huh?"

"At the park," Inuyasha said sitting up too, "I saw you two right before I fell in the water.'

"I DIDN'T kiss him!! HE kissed me!!" Kagome yelled, "The first time I kissed anyone was with you! And that didn't even count!

Inuyasha's eyes widened, "I was your first kiss?"

Kagome lowered her head, "it wasn't a real kiss… you didn't want it."

"Did you?"

"I was trying to wake you up…"

"But did you want it Kagome?"

She looked up her face barring a very harassed look, "I don't know! It just happened!"

Inuyasha just looked at her for a moment.  He had to admit she did look kinda cute sitting there on the verge of tears, "Hey," he said placing a hand on one of her shoulders.

"What?" Kagome sniffled.

"Let's go down and eat.  Your mom's making lunch right now."

Kagome nodded, "just let me take a shower and then we can go down.  You can stay in here if you want."

"Okay," Inuyasha agreed getting up and exiting the closet with Kagome following suit. 

"Hey Inuyasha?"

He turned to answer her but forgot how to speak realizing that was hugging him around the middle.  Unsure of what to do, Inuyasha just stood there for a minute before he carefully began to put his arms around her but before he could Kagome stepped away and slugged him in the gut.

"THAT'S what you get for calling me a slut!" Kagome smirked. Then, spinning on her heal she gathered her clothes and towel and headed for the bathroom.

A/n; meh… I don't really like this chapter for some reason… I think there was like two places where I could have stopped it but I kept going.  Blah, I'll get the hang of this writing thing sooner or later.  Well anyhoo I did find out that Jei Farfarello is her pn so GO READ HER STUFF!  Ooh yes and be for warned… she REALLY likes reviews.  So be sure to review her stories.  I like reviews too but it isn't a mandatory thing, though I would appreciate them.  Okay I'll try to post this tonight, but my mom's kicking me out of the office now.  Ja
