A/N: I'm sorry it's taken me this long, but I would like to thank Becca-
gurl, Kouga-fan, and Inu-Is-Mine for their reviews, they have really
encouraged me to get back to this fic sooner than I have in the past.
Happy New Years!!!
Chapter 13
Disclaimer: Ummm. I don't believe I'm any closer to owning the Inu-yasha characters today than I was yesterday, but we'll see if I can't just change that..
Kikyo emerged from the bathroom just in time to see Sango kiss Inu- yasha. WHAT THE FUCK?! This was certainly an unforeseen turn of events, she didn't know quite what to do about this, but if that was what Inu-yasha wanted. well, she could step back, wait, no. This time she was going to fight for the man she loved, no matter what.
Kikyo took a deep breath to compose herself, then made her way across the lunchroom towards Inu-yasha. As she passed table after table of chattering students they all fell silent, all eyes were on her as she approached Inu-yasha. Taking one last deep breath, she laid her hand on Inu-yasha's shoulder. "Inu-yasha?"
"Kikyo?" He turned to look at her.
"How're you holding up?"
"As well as can be expected, I guess." Then coming to his senses he offered, "Would you like to sit down?"
The students at the surrounding tables held their breaths as they watched this little drama unfold. Kikyo glanced around at them, wondering what they were thinking, certainly nothing good, but she was going to go through with this if it was the last thing she did. "I would love to." She glared defiantly at the nearest tables.
The students in the lunchroom broke into an overwhelming uproar of chatter as she took the seat next to Inu-yasha. The way they saw it Kagome's love and her archrival were now sitting talking amicably as though nothing had happened.
"And how are you?" Inu-yasha asked.
Kikyo laughed, a dry humorless laugh, "I'm doin' okay I guess. Everyone blames me for her death. They say I 'lured' you away from her."
Inu-yasha looked startled, "But that's not true! If anything you are the only reason I was able to be with her during her last moments."
"Yeah, well, people tend to believe only the worst things they hear about people. But there is one thing to look forward to."
"And what's that?"
"The next scandal. As soon as there is another scandal then this will all blow over and people won't be obsessed over this anymore. Granted people won't stop hating me that quickly, but whatever."
Inu-yasha looked positively stricken. "Damn, I never really thought about how this might effect anyone else. I guess I kind of thought that I was the only person in the world that really cared about Kagome."
Kikyo smiled, "It's completely understandable that you would be thinking about you. But, ummm, what's up between you and Sango?" She may have decided to fight for her man, but she would be careful and find out just what was going on first.
Inu-yasha smiled briefly, "She is a good friend and she wanted to comfort me and let me know that I'm not alone.
*yeah, what a way to 'comfort' you* Kikyo thought bitterly, but now was not the time to act, she would have to choose the time and means carefully.
The bell rang and the crowd surged towards the stairs
A/N: Okay, once again I'm writing this just before I'm going out of town so again I'm in a rush. I know this isn't one of my better chapters, but I'm really going to have to do some brain storming before I can get the next chapter written and up. Love y'all, thanks for the reviews and please continue reviewing. HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!
