Chapter Three: Dating Discoveries and Angry Souls
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Present time Tokyo ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome looked down at her watch as she ran. 12:08 PM! She was definitely going to be late. Well, actually, she was already late. She stopped for a moment, leaning against a cement wall, trying to regain her breathing. Kagome looked up at the corner street sign. Enchantment Lane. ::Only two more blocks. I hope Hojo won't be too upset::
Kagome started walking instead of running. She figured she was already late and she'd get there in a few minutes. Plus it was a date with Hojo and was reluctantly pulling herself towards the movie theatres. She resisted the urge to turn around and go back to the Warring States era. ::And go back to what! INUYASHA! Grr... not him. NEVER! Why would I ever go back to that overbearing jerk?!::
Her anger was so flared up that she didn't see the person standing right in front of her. She bumped right into them, bounced off, and landed on the floor. Her purse fell off and landed to her right.
"Hmph. Oww," she said, while rubbing her bottom with her free hands. Kagome was pissed before, but this only made her more infuriated. She looked up, glaring at the person above her seated form. ::Just my luck. Of course she's here. Why not? Everything else is falling apart in my life::
Above Kagome, standing tall and arrogant, with a huge confident smirk on her flawless face was Meiwaku. Her eyes danced with amazement as she gazed down with a look of icy superiority. She was a classic beauty. Full red lips, long raven hair down to her waist, pale flawless skin, a slender little toned body, and a pair of almond shaped sapphire colored eyes. But in those eyes were tales of pain she inflicted on other people who she thought were lower than her, a horrible childhood, and a cold- hearted soul. She was wearing a little light sky blue button-up blouse showing her stomach and a little jean faded skirt with weightless sky blue sandals.
Meiwaku was the most popular girl in school and she was the bully. She would always pick on others, especially the ones who cowered before her. She had a little team of her own that helped her out with pulling pranks and messing with others. Her favorite person she loved to pick on who had her attention was Kagome, who didn't bow down to her. Kagome never gave any signs of weakness and didn't back down to her, which pissed Meiwaku off to a high level with zero tolerance to people "below" her.
"Well at least you know your place now, on the ground where you belong," Meiwaku spoke down to Kagome with her sultry voice filled with amazement and layered with hatred. "So, why are you such in a damn hurry that you don't watch out for the better people in front of you, bitch?" Kagome picked herself off the ground, grabbing the purse. She wiped the bottom of her shorts off and locked her chocolate brown eyes with Meiwaku's stony blue ones. Let's get ready to rumble.

::What does that wench think she has the right to say that to Kagome?!:: Inuyasha growled deep in the back of his throat. His hands gripped the branches on the tree that they almost broken. His knuckles turned white from the intense pressure.
[----{KAGOME
Meiwaku was taller than her so Kagome had to tilt her head up to look her in the eyes. Kagome's eyes were fierce and they were shadowed with a veil of irritation and aggravation. Her lips were set in a grim line of determination. She was not going to give Meiwaku the satisfaction of trying to get under her skin, even though she did. Kagome was disgusted with what Meiwaku always did to other people she thought was "lower" than her. Meiwaku was the "lowest" piece of scum in school. Kagome didn't understand why she always had her attention and pranks set on her though. But that's a whole other story.
"Mind your own business Meiwaku. Maybe you show know your place or haven't you figured it out yet. Let me help you. Your place is in the trash, you dirty freak." Kagome told her with an icy glare. She usually didn't mind Meiwaku but she always hated when she called her names. Kagome heard of the phrase 'Sticks and stones will break your bones but words will never hurt you' but it didn't matter. She wasn't one of those people to back down easily and neither was Meiwaku.
Meiwaku stood there glaring down haughtily and her eyes burned with loathing. Oh how she hated Kagome. She tried many pranks to get her to weaken but she somehow found ways around the pranks and her friends looked out for her.
"Freak, huh? Look who's talking. Look at yourself in the mirror sometime 'cause you have no idea of a freak until you do. Why don't you run along and hang out with your loser friends. You're not worth my time." She spoke with a low voice, trying to act dangerous.
"And you're not worth much." Kagome put her purse strap around her arm and tried to walk around Meiwaku but she shoved her and pushed causing Kagome to stumble forward.
[----{INUYASHA (Cherry Blossom tree)
Inuyasha's growling became worse as her saw that tall raven haired girl push Kagome making her stumble. ::I wish I could go down there and show that stupid wench up. She'll be sorry when I'm done with her:: He looked down and saw Kagome turn around a glare at the girl and the other did the same back at Kagome. Inuyasha could feel the tension in the air. ::Damn. I don't want to get on Kagome's bad side anymore:: He sweatdropped. Looking back down, he saw Kagome's figure retreating from the scene. ::Uh oh. Better go follow her so nothing else like this happens to her.
[----{KAGOME
::Man! She's so annoying! Why can't she just give me break someday? Maybe there's more to her than meets the eye:: Kagome halted her hurried walk and froze in place, thinking to herself for a second about she just thought. ::Nah! That's not it:: Kagome continued walking until she came to a big royal blue sign saying Fuchsia Avenue.
Unknown to Kagome, behind her Meiwaku was picking up a necklace on the ground. ::Now what is this?:: Meiwaku stared at the shiny pinkish red jewel in her hands. The light caught onto the glistening jewel and bounced off, illuminating the jewel with flickers of pink sparks naked to the human eye. ::What a pretty piece of art this is?:: Meiwaku placed the necklace around her neck. She fingered the jewel and looked down at it. ::Kagome must have dropped it when she fell on her sorry ass. Oh she'll be sorry when I'm through with her:: Meiwaku let out a chuckle of laughter. Her laughter sounded like nails on a chalkboard. If not, worse. She strolled down the street, walking the opposite way of Kagome. She had some plans to come up with.
Kagome took in a deep breathe of air, held it in for a second, then released it with a huge sigh. She closed her eyes, trying to relax her thought. She had so many random events happen today dealing with Inuyasha, Meiwaku and now this. ::Now let's get on with this 'date' of mine:: Before she opened he eyes, Kagome could have sworn she felt a jewel shard presence from behind her. She snapped her eyes opened and wheeled herself around, facing where she had come from. Her attention and thoughts were broken as she heard someone call her name from a distance.
"Higurashi! Is that you?" Kagome hesitantly and reluctantly turned her gaze around to peer at the cause of the voice. She stared right at Hojo.
"Hi Hojo. How are you doing today?" She walked over to stand in front of him. Kagome moved a strand of her hair behind her ear.
"Oh. Me? I'm doing okay. How are you doing today Higurashi? Anything hectic going on? How's the ear discharge clearing up? " Kagome stared into the boy's clueless cinnamon colored eyes and tried to think of a reply fast.
::Hectic is one way of putting it. Wait! Ear discharge?! GRANDPA!:: Kagome sweatdropped. ::Leave it to Grandpa to give you diseases:: "Everything's getting better. Thanks for asking." She broke their steady gaze and stared down at her shoes. She suddenly found them very interesting.
"Just in case, I brought you these. It should clear it up and here's an extra something. Who knows? It might come in handy." Kagome looked up and saw a small comfortable ear discharge pillow to lay your head on so the liquid discharge would drip into the pillow. Kagome mentally faltered at the sight of it. She also saw little container filled with raspberry flavored cough drops. ::I guess Hojo came prepared. Grandpa, I'm so going to kill you!:: Her face flared up with anger and humiliation. Hojo however didn't even notice.
"So I got the tickets here for our movie. Let's go get our seats before some people take the good ones. I think you're going to like this movie. It's about a princess who was kidnapped as a baby and was raised by the kidnappers. The prince who was supposed to marry her come across her when she was 18 or so and...." Hojo kept rambling on about the movie and Kagome just nodded every once and while. ::OK girl. Just smile and nod. Smile and nod::
All of a sudden, Hojo put his arm around Kagome's waist and she froze, blushing at the sudden contact of another. :: Alright. Too much physical attention. It's only the first date:: He kept talking about the movie and didn't seem notice Kagome's stiffness. They walked into the cool movie theatres, Hojo handed the tickets to a middle aged man. He handed them back their ticket stubs and pointed to the direction of their theatre.
[----{INUYASHA (In a tree above)
::KAGOME'S ON A DATE WITH THAT GUY?! But she said she was coming back for her brother's birthday and I believed her! How stupid could I get! So she comes back to her time to meet THAT guy!:: Inuyasha growled, scaring a couple sitting beneath the tree. He ignored them and made his way to the side of the theatre in the alleyway as fast as he could without being seen. ::I have to find a way to get inside this building:: He looked around for a second and then found what he was looking for, the door to get inside the theatre. ::Now all I have to do is go inside and get those two apart?!::
Inuyasha pulled on the door but it was locked. He pulled harder on the bolted steel door and broke the door off the hinges. ::Pitiful lock. Now where's that wench with that stupid guy!:: He walked inside the building with a scowl on his face, ready to rip Kagome's date into shreds.
[----{KAGOME
They had gotten two large Cokes and a big tub of buttered popcorn to share but Kagome wasn't really that hungry. The sat a few rows from the back of the theatre, in the middle of the row. Hojo had his arm around Kagome's shoulders and she was tense with annoyance and rage. This particular showing of this movie was sold out and the theatre was packed with people. Kagome spotted a few of her classmates and they kept glancing at her and Hojo. She could tell they were gossiping about her and her date. ::Great. Now this is going to get all around school:: Kagome blushed with embarrassment but the other classmates took it as a sign of her affection towards Hojo.
Hojo was just rapidly talking about one topic to another. Kagome just politely smiled and nodded, keeping eyes contact with Hojo but her eyes were glazed over as a sign of deep thinking. She was having a flashback, recalling a recent memory of hers.
[----{FLASHBACK}----]
It was the day before Kagome had yelled at Inuyasha to go back to her time for her brother's birthday. She was stuck at the bottom of the well and had been for at least an hour. Inuyasha wasn't around for the moment to help her out. The vines inside the wall, which served as a type of ladder, broke when she tried to climb up. Kagome had given up trying to get out of the God forsaken well fifteen minutes ago. Her family wasn't going to be worried about her 'cause she had told them a week ago she would be gone for a while and be back in the morning of Sota's birthday. Kagome would just have to wait until she heard something above and then call out to who ever it was to help her out. She just hoped it wasn't on of her enemies after the Shikon no Tama.
Kagome was fingering her necklace with the sacred jewel. She sighed. She wanted to go back to her time and take a long hot steamy bath to relax her tense muscles, but for some reason the well wouldn't let her go back. It wanted her to stay in Sengoku Jidai and rot in this stupid well. Kagome looked at her nails. Dirt was stuck underneath her fingernails. She had tried to climb the way but obviously that didn't work.
It did make her think though. ::What if I died? Would I have done everything I wanted to do in my life? What would my family do? What would Sango, Miroku, and Shippo do?:: The next thought made her cheeks warm with her blush. ::What would Inuyasha do?:: Kagome thought about that for a moment. Then she got it. Her face then turned red because of her anger. ::He'd go off with Kikyo! I know that she's his first love and still is but she's dead. Dead with the living just can't work. It can't and it WON'T work for Inuyasha. He doesn't deserve another heartache::
Kagome stood up off the ground and wiped the bottom of her skirt off. She decided she should try to focus on a way to get out of the well than on Inuyasha's problems.
[---{END OF FLASHBACK}----]
Kagome noticed a hand in front of her face. She blinked and got out of her trance. She shook her head to clear it and looked at the owner of the hand sitting right beside her, Hojo.
"Where'd you go Kagome? Is it anything serious? Are you suffering for seizures?" Kagome sweatdropped and also faltered at Hojo's question. ::Note to self. Kill grandpa!::
"It's nothing Hojo." Kagome glanced down at her watch and it was only 12:45 PM. ::Okay, I've got fifteen minutes left till the movie starts:: "Umm... I'll be right back. I have to go to the restroom. Save my seat." Hojo removed his arm and let Kagome go. He sat there with the popcorn in his lap and watched as she disappeared through the theatre doors.
Once Kagome got out of the theatre, she let out a heavy sigh. ::Finally. I could've died if I stayed in there any longer. Oh well, off to the rest room. Now which way is it?::
[----{INUYASHA (Inside the theatre)
Once Inuyasha got inside the movie theatre, he covered his ear with his hands. No one really seemed to notice him because they were too wrapped up in their own conversations and worries. Inuyasha's worry was Kagome and he wanted to find her before 'that jerk' did anything to her.
Even though his ears were covered, he could still hear people's voices. His nose was probably dying because of all the scents in their air. Popcorn and sweet candies and fresh hot dogs and cheesy nachos. All those scents were new to him and they were driving him crazy. He was about to go off and find Kagome but someone's conversation just got interesting and caught his attention. He stopped dead in his tracks.
"Did you hear about Kagome and Hojo? They're going out now. Don't you think they make a cute couple?" One girl was talking way too loud for Inuyasha's ears. Another girls started talking before Inuyasha could digest what the other one had said.
"They are so adorable together. Plus, he had his arm draped across Kagome's shoulders. She looked like she was enjoying it too. How sweet. They're faces were awfully close too. Kagome wasn't even uncomfortable about that..." She kept rambling on about Kagome and Hojo. Inuyasha had had enough of it and stormed off to find Kagome. He didn't even notice that a purple stripe was starting to appear across his left cheek.
[----{KAGOME
Finally, Kagome had found the bathrooms. She didn't even notice the silver-haired figure behind her as she walked into the girl's restroom and found herself alone in there, or so she thought.
Kagome was about to walk into a stall but something snaked around her and wrapped around her waist. She yelped in surprise. It looked down and noticed it was someone's arms covered in red clothing. She tried to pry those arms off of her but they remained firmly around her. The person behind her pulled her back, her back to their front. She could tell it was a guy and he was very strong because she could feel his muscles against her back.
Inuyasha looked at the stiffened girl in his arms, who was on a DATE with another guy. He buried his face in her arm and inhaled her scent. He could smell the other guy's scent on her. Two other stripes appeared on the right side of his cheek. He held onto her tighter and growled.
Kagome stopped trying to pry his arms off of her when she heard that growl. ::Inu... Inuya... Inuyasha? What's he doing here?:: She relaxed a bit glad to be in his arms, then stiffened when she remembered what happened the day of Sota's birthday.
[----{Kikyo would never be so weak and give up like you!}----]
She stiffened worse and got more rigid. Anger started to bubble inside of her. Oh how she hated it when he compared her to Kikyo. She started to recall her nightmare.
[----{"So, you like what you see wench? You know, I never cared about you. You're pathetic and weak. You were only a little helpless shard detector to me and now since I'm full demon, I can do whatever I want and no one can stop me! Not you, or your friends, or ANYONE! This is all your fault!"}---- ]
Kagome couldn't believe he betrayed her like that. More anger bubbled inside of her. Her anger was taking place of the sadness and depression she felt when she remembered his betrayal. She remembered how he went back to Kikyo and left her alone, in her own blood. She was killed by Inuyasha's own two hands, which were now wrapped around her. She began to try to remove his arms from around her. She scratched at them but they tightened even more around her, warning her to stop now. She didn't stop. She continued to try to remove them from her. Kagome wanted him away from her.
Inuyasha's eyes were starting to turn blood red with a purple center. He tightened his hold on the girl with a warning telling her to stop or else. She was betraying him. She was his. Only his. No one else's. Only his. Only! His demon blood was taking over and his human blood couldn't prevent it. His demon side was too strong and too angry and jealous. His jealousy was taking over.
Kagome didn't stop pulling at his arms and struggling to get away from his tight hold on her. She felt her hair being removed from the back of her neck and she felt Inuyasha bite her on back of her neck. It wasn't a fierce bite causing her to bleed. It was a warning bite, telling her to knock it off and stay still. She did stop and he loosened his bite but didn't let go.
Inuyasha noticed she was stiff and he decided to get her out of here to somewhere else so he could calm her down. He picked Kagome up in his arms and she started to wiggle around, trying to get free. He tightened his bite and she stopped her squirming immediately. Inuyasha ran out of the movie theatres so fast, people only saw a blur and couldn't make out the two figures.
Kagome hung onto Inuyasha even though she was still mad. She tried to turn her face to get a look at him but couldn't because he still had a hold on her neck. She still remained still and rigid. ::Where's Inuyasha taking me?::
After a few minutes they got to their destination. They were at her house shrine. Inuyasha jumped through the open window and into her bedroom. He set Kagome down onto the bed and made her face him.
Kagome now got to have a look at him. She gasped at the site. ::He's a FULL DEMON?! JUST LIKE MY NIGHTMARE!:: He had two purple stripes across each of his cheeks. His eyes were blood red with the purple center. His face was set in a scowl. His lips were set in an angry frown. ::What's he going to do with me now?::

Hojo had his arm around Kagome's shoulders and she was tense with annoyance and rage. This particular showing of this movie was sold out and the theatre was packed with people. Kagome spotted a few of her classmates and they kept glancing at her and Hojo. She could tell they were gossiping about her and her date. ::Great. Now this is going to get all around school:: Kagome blushed with embarrassment but the other classmates took it as a sign of her affection towards Hojo.
Hojo was just rapidly talking about one topic to another. Kagome just politely smiled and nodded, keeping eyes contact with Hojo but her eyes were glazed over as a sign of deep thinking. She was having a flashback, recalling a recent memory of hers.
[----{FLASHBACK}----]
It was the day before Kagome had yelled at Inuyasha to go back to her time for her brother's birthday. She was stuck at the bottom of the well and had been for at least an hour. Inuyasha wasn't around for the moment to help her out. The vines inside the wall, which served as a type of ladder, broke when she tried to climb up. Kagome had given up trying to get out of the God forsaken well fifteen minutes ago. Her family wasn't going to be worried about her 'cause she had told them a week ago she would be gone for a while and be back in the morning of Sota's birthday. Kagome would just have to wait until she heard something above and then call out to who ever it was to help her out. She just hoped it wasn't on of her enemies after the Shikon no Tama.
Kagome was fingering her necklace with the sacred jewel. She sighed. She wanted to go back to her time and take a long hot steamy bath to relax her tense muscles, but for some reason the well wouldn't let her go back. It wanted her to stay in Sengoku Jidai and rot in this stupid well. Kagome looked at her nails. Dirt was stuck underneath her fingernails. She had tried to climb the way but obviously that didn't work.
It did make her think though. ::What if I died? Would I have done everything I wanted to do in my life? What would my family do? What would Sango, Miroku, and Shippo do?:: The next thought made her cheeks warm with her blush. ::What would Inuyasha do?:: Kagome thought about that for a moment. Then she got it. Her face then turned red because of her anger. ::He'd go off with Kikyo! I know that she's his first love and still is but she's dead. Dead with the living just can't work. It can't and it WON'T work for Inuyasha. He doesn't deserve another heartache::
Kagome stood up off the ground and wiped the bottom of her skirt off. She decided she should try to focus on a way to get out of the well than on Inuyasha's problems.
[---{END OF FLASHBACK}----]
Kagome noticed a hand in front of her face. She blinked and got out of her trance. She shook her head to clear it and looked at the owner of the hand sitting right beside her, Hojo.
"Where'd you go Kagome? Is it anything serious? Are you suffering for seizures?" Kagome sweatdropped and also faltered at Hojo's question. ::Note to self. Kill grandpa!::
"It's nothing Hojo." Kagome glanced down at her watch and it was only 12:45 PM. ::Okay, I've got fifteen minutes left till the movie starts:: "Umm... I'll be right back. I have to go to the restroom. Save my seat." Hojo removed his arm and let Kagome go. He sat there with the popcorn in his lap and watched as she disappeared through the theatre doors.
Once Kagome got out of the theatre, she let out a heavy sigh. ::Finally. I could've died if I stayed in there any longer. Oh well, off to the rest room. Now which way is it?::
[----{INUYASHA (Inside the theatre)
Once Inuyasha got inside the movie theatre, he covered his ear with his hands. No one really seemed to notice him because they were too wrapped up in their own conversations and worries. Inuyasha's worry was Kagome and he wanted to find her before 'that jerk' did anything to her.
Even though his ears were covered, he could still hear people's voices. His nose was probably dying because of all the scents in their air. Popcorn and sweet candies and fresh hot dogs and cheesy nachos. All those scents were new to him and they were driving him crazy. He was about to go off and find Kagome but someone's conversation just got interesting and caught his attention. He stopped dead in his tracks.
"Did you hear about Kagome and Hojo? They're going out now. Don't you think they make a cute couple?" One girl was talking way too loud for Inuyasha's ears. Another girls started talking before Inuyasha could digest what the other one had said.
"They are so adorable together. Plus, he had his arm draped across Kagome's shoulders. She looked like she was enjoying it too. How sweet. They're faces were awfully close too. Kagome wasn't even uncomfortable about that..." She kept rambling on about Kagome and Hojo. Inuyasha had had enough of it and stormed off to find Kagome. He didn't even notice that a purple stripe was starting to appear across his left cheek.
[----{KAGOME
Finally, Kagome had found the bathrooms. She didn't even notice the silver-haired figure behind her as she walked into the girl's restroom and found herself alone in there, or so she thought.
Kagome was about to walk into a stall but something snaked around her and wrapped around her waist. She yelped in surprise. It looked down and noticed it was someone's arms covered in red clothing. She tried to pry those arms off of her but they remained firmly around her. The person behind her pulled her back, her back to their front. She could tell it was a guy and he was very strong because she could feel his muscles against her back.
Inuyasha looked at the stiffened girl in his arms, who was on a DATE with another guy. He buried his face in her arm and inhaled her scent. He could smell the other guy's scent on her. Two other stripes appeared on the right side of his cheek. He held onto her tighter and growled.
Kagome stopped trying to pry his arms off of her when she heard that growl. ::Inu... Inuya... Inuyasha? What's he doing here?:: She relaxed a bit glad to be in his arms, then stiffened when she remembered what happened the day of Sota's birthday.
[----{Kikyo would never be so weak and give up like you!}----]
She stiffened worse and got more rigid. Anger started to bubble inside of her. Oh how she hated it when he compared her to Kikyo. She started to recall her nightmare.
[----{"So, you like what you see wench? You know, I never cared about you. You're pathetic and weak. You were only a little helpless shard detector to me and now since I'm full demon, I can do whatever I want and no one can stop me! Not you, or your friends, or ANYONE! This is all your fault!"}---- ]
Kagome couldn't believe he betrayed her like that. More anger bubbled inside of her. Her anger was taking place of the sadness and depression she felt when she remembered his betrayal. She remembered how he went back to Kikyo and left her alone, in her own blood. She was killed by Inuyasha's own two hands, which were now wrapped around her. She began to try to remove his arms from around her. She scratched at them but they tightened even more around her, warning her to stop now. She didn't stop. She continued to try to remove them from her. Kagome wanted him away from her.
Inuyasha's eyes were starting to turn blood red with a purple center. He tightened his hold on the girl with a warning telling her to stop or else. She was betraying him. She was his. Only his. No one else's. Only his. Only! His demon blood was taking over and his human blood couldn't prevent it. His demon side was too strong and too angry and jealous. His jealousy was taking over.
Kagome didn't stop pulling at his arms and struggling to get away from his tight hold on her. She felt her hair being removed from the back of her neck and she felt Inuyasha bite her on back of her neck. It wasn't a fierce bite causing her to bleed. It was a warning bite, telling her to knock it off and stay still. She did stop and he loosened his bite but didn't let go.
Inuyasha noticed she was stiff and he decided to get her out of here to somewhere else so he could calm her down. He picked Kagome up in his arms and she started to wiggle around, trying to get free. He tightened his bite and she stopped her squirming immediately. Inuyasha ran out of the movie theatres so fast, people only saw a blur and couldn't make out the two figures.
Kagome hung onto Inuyasha even though she was still mad. She tried to turn her face to get a look at him but couldn't because he still had a hold on her neck. She still remained still and rigid. ::Where's Inuyasha taking me?::
After a few minutes they got to their destination. They were at her house shrine. Inuyasha jumped through the open window and into her bedroom. He set Kagome down onto the bed and made her face him.
Kagome now got to have a look at him. She gasped at the site. ::He's a FULL DEMON?! JUST LIKE MY NIGHTMARE!:: He had two purple stripes across each of his cheeks. His eyes were blood red with the purple center. His face was set in a scowl. His lips were set in an angry frown. ::What's he going to do with me now?::
