Chapter 18

The girl gave a devious smile. " Before we get down to business I am Kikyou Harrison. You are?"

" Hojo. I don't mean to be rude but can you tell me how I can get Kagome to love me?" He asked. The girl turned her back on him and signaled him to follow her. He did as he was told. Kikyou walked along with a smile on her face. ' Just as planned. I don't know what he sees in her but he'll help me to break Inuyasha and Kagome apart.'

Kikyou came towards a table with other people and sat down. " Sit Hojo." Hojo sat down and looked around. He realized that he was sitting where the popular people sat. They all gave Kikyou a strange look.

" What is he doing here?" asked a boy.

" He looks like a geek to me," someone whispered.

" Tell the freak to get off our table," another person said. Kikyou glared at them. She couldn't run this boy. He was her only chance of getting her plan into action.

" This guy here is going to be a very important part of our plan so you better treat him nicely or else." Kikyou's body began to glow a light pink as she said those words. Her hand, which rested on the table, began to glow brightly. When she removed it the table had a hole. Everyone gasped at her actions and nodded their heads.

Hojo got more nervous by the second. First they called him names now this Kikyou person had bore a hole in the table. Kikyou turned her gaze back at him to see he was staring at the hole she had made. She put a hand on his shoulder, which caused him to jump.

" Hojo all I want to do is help you. So here's what we are going to do," she took a peace of paper and wrote on it, " This is Kagome's address. I want you to go there and somehow get yourself invited inside, we'll handle the rest," Kikyou said. Hojo looked at her. He didn't know if this was right. Something told him to say no but then the image of Kagome kissing HIM came inside his head. Hojo gave a determined look and nodded. Kikyou's smile grew even wider.

" Good," she said, " Kagura, I have a job for you."

" Bye Kagome!"

" Bye Sango!" said Kagome. Sango smiled and walked into her yard. Kagome waited until Sango was inside to continue walking. Her thoughts drifted back to lunch when Hojo found out that she had a boyfriend. ' I hope I didn't hurt him.' She shook her head. Kagome had no idea why she was feeling so guilty about the situation.

She had arrived at the shrine. She walked up the steps towards her house. When Kagome arrived at the top she saw Hojo standing at her front door.

"Hello Higurashi," he greeted with a smile. Kagome looked at him with a surprised look on her face. Was he smiling or was it just her eyes playing a trick on her?

" How did you find out were I live?" Kagome asked.

Hojo then gulped nervously. He couldn't say who gave him the address or their plan would be ruined.

" I uh got it... I know I saw your brother walk in here so I figured you must live here," he replied.

" Okay. Well do you want to maybe come inside?"

" Sure," he replied. Kagome unlocked the door and got inside. Meanwhile Hojo took out his phone and dialed Kikyou's number on it.

" I got inside. What to do?' he asked.

" When you see me I want you to somehow try to open the door," Kikyou instructed, " I'll handle the rest."

" Okay. Bye." Hojo stuffed his phone in his pocket and caught up with Kagome. She was looking around the house suspiciously.

" That's strange. How did you see my brother when no one isn't home now?"

" I saw your brother earlier today."

" Okay. Want something to eat?" she asked as she took out a pack of ready-made ramen. Hojo nodded his head and took a seat at the table. He watched as Kagome put the ingredients in a pot and allowed it to boil. She then took her seat on the other side of the table.

" Hojo are you still mad?" Kagome asked, her eyes filled with concern.

" No I can never be mad at you for long, Kagome." He had said her name so differently from how he used to.

" It's just that I love Inuyasha," Hojo looked down at the table, " And nothing or no one could chance that. I would be glad if we could be friends." Hojo stood up angrily, knocking the chair down.

" No Kagome! You love ME and you know it!" he argued. Hojo came to the other side of the table. Kagome stood up. Hojo came closer and closer towards Kagome. Kagome had no choice but to step back. Her head then hit a hard surface. It was then she realized that she was trapped in a corner.

" Leave the hanyou Kagome and be with me. We will be so happy together," Hojo said. Kagome's eyes widened. This was not the Hojo she knew. He had changed into a guy obsessed to get her to love him. He touched her cheek and began to rub his thumb against it. Kagome pushed his hand away.

" Hojo I told you I love Inuyasha and you can never change that!" Kagome yelled.

" Kagome I love you and deep down I know you love me too!" He pushed her body against the wall and began to kiss her. Kagome kicked her feet and fought to get free but he had a tight grip on her. She couldn't use her hands to defend herself because he had pinned it against the wall but still she fought him even though there was no hope for her to get free.

Kikyou watched through the window. So Hojo was kissing the girl. Kikyou knew exactly what to do. She walked to Kagura and smiled.

" You and Kanna go to Inuyasha's place and show him what Kagome and Hojo are doing," she ordered. Kagura nodded her head and flew off on her feather.

" Not as I had planned but it's just as good." Kikyou said to her self as she watched Kagome struggle to get free from Hojo.

Inuyasha threw his bag on the bed and lay down for a rest. He was about to close his eyes when he smelt two scents that he hated. He jumped off his bed and began to growl when they came by his window.

" What do you want?" he asked. Kagura smiled at his behavior.

" Nice to see you too," Kagura said, " But I came to tell you that Kagome doesn't love you the way you do."

" What do you mean?" Inuyasha growled. Kanna then came from behind Kagura and allowed Inuyasha to see what was the big deal. Inuyasha gasped as he watched Kagome kissing Hojo. Inuyasha shook his head and looked again. He had told her that she loved him. He turned his back towards the mirror. Inuyasha was about to give up all hope that Kagome never loved him when he heard a small voice.

" Hojo please. I don't love you. I love.."

" Don't say it! You love me! Not him!"

It was then he realized that this Hojo guy was forcing himself on HIS girlfriend! He growled.

" You were trying to trick me eh? Well guess it has backfired," Inuyasha said with a smirk. The two looked at him confused. He pushed them aside and jumped out his window. He ran as quickly as he could towards Kagome's house. He had to stop this guy before he did even worse to Kagome.
