Disclaimer-As usual, I don't own Inu-Yasha. ,^_^, Only Kagome. NOT Kikyo.

A/N- Ayumi is Kagome's friend w/ the curly hair who tell her she's in love with Inu-Yasha in the episode after the first Koga incident. I was very disappointed in the episode last night. I wish that giant soul collector would have killed her. :sigh: I think I'm asking too much though. Thanks so much to those who reviewed!!! 18 reviews are good. Better than I'd ever thought I'd do. On w/ the fic!

Chapter 3

Kagome couldn't concentrate in school. I shouldn't have come back.' She thought. She couldn't stop thinking about Hojo and Inu-Yasha. Why do I feel this way? I feel sorry for myself and kinda depressed.' She couldn't understand what the teacher was saying. It was all a jumble of words to her. I've got to get out of here! What to do, what to do.' Then an idea hit her. She pretended to faint and hit the ground. Ms. Fujiwara came rushing up to Kagome and sent her to the office with someone to accompany her. She heard Hojo volunteer, but to her relief it was Ayumi. When they were in the hall, Ayumi asked, "Why do you do this?"

Kagome was surprised. "What do you mean?"

"Why do you want to go home so soon? Do you want to see this boyfriend of yours that badly?" she questioned. Kagome's mind raced. Inu-Yasha? My boyfriend!?'

"Tell me Kagome, is he nice?"

"Yeah, sometimes. When he's not the arrogant jerk. Besides, even if he does care about me he's not my boyfriend. He's still in love with his first girlfriend. Even if it's been a really long time since they were together." She explained. Before Ayumi could ask more, they were at the office. "Kagome, just tell this guy how you feel. Who knows? He could return your feelings just as strongly. Maybe even more." And with a cheery wave she left Kagome with confused thoughts, again.

Kagome was sent home. She walked home still trying to figure out what to do. When she got home no one was there. "I figured." She sighed and went up to her room. There, sitting on the floor was Inu-Yasha. "What are you doing here?!?!" Kagome yelled.

"I was just about to ask you the same thing." Inu-Yasha shot back. "According to this thing here," he said pointing to a clock, "You're not supposed to be home until it's at the number here." He said pointing to the two. (A/N- Sota showed him what time Kagome would be home.) Kagome looked nervous. "Umschool let out early."

"Uh, huh. Well, who was that guy earlier this morning?" he asked quietly.

"You saw me?!?!?!"

"Is he your boyfriend or something?" Inu-Yasha inquired. Kagome sank to the floor. Then Inu-Yasha smelt tears. He looked at Kagome. She was crying.

"Woah! Wait!! Don't cry!!" He said with concern.

"You jerk! Can't you see what's wrong?" she sobbed. Inu-Yasha was going to retort, but thought it better to keep his mouth shut. I don't want her to get mad at me too.' "No I can't Kagome, I want to know what's wrong."

Kagome looked at him. His face was the expression it was whenever he was concerned about someone. She took in a deep breath and turned to face him straight in the eyes. "I love you." She whispered.

OK, end of chapter 3. Please r/r!!

Just kidding! Now you get to read about Kikyo though. -_- (oh joy! But it's part of the story)

Kikyo was traveling to Naraku's castle. Kagura had told her where it was. She had to get rid of Kagome. No matter what the cost. Inu-Yasha will be mine and Kagome will die' she thought. She still knew that Naraku's human form Onigumo still wanted Kikyo. I'll kill him too once Kagome's gone. She reached the castle a few minutes later. Naraku was sitting in the usual room. "So Kikyo, why have you come to me again?"

"I've come to ask for a favor. Will you distract Inu-Yasha enough so I can kill Kagome?" Kikyo said coldly.

" And how may I ask, will I profit from this distraction." Naraku asked.

"More jewel shard and the chance to get rid of a great threat to you. Kagome's arrows are the biggest danger to you, because not even Kanna can protect you from those." Kikyo said. Naraku looked at Kikyo hard. "Alright. When do we start?"

A/N: Ok, this is the real end of chapter 3. I didn't finish the Inu/Kag part because I'm not sure how I want to word it. I also want to add in a Koga part. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really appreciate eveyone's reviews. Angel-Chan3, your most recent story is very funny. . It's one of my favorites now. Another one of my favorite Inu-Yasha stories is called Eternity Under the Stars. Any one who hasn't read it yet, READ it!!!1 It's a really sweet Inu/Kag story ^_^ Oh and since I'm an avid Kikyo hater, you can imagine what's going to happen to her eventually, right? I wonder if anyone has ever made a We Hate Kikyo Club? ^_~ j/k Please R/R!!!!
