A/N: Like the cliche phrase, if you've hit bottom, there's only one direction and that's up! ^^ Well hopefully chapter two will go up because I personally was bored by the background/setting/w.e that was set in chapter one. *Sigh* Oh Inuyasha is returning to himself from being overly OOC towards Kagome.
*Italics*=Thoughts *Yay finally figured out how to make these show up!*
Disclaimer: Like anyone ever reads these...
~*Chapter II: Love at First Sight is Not for the Stubborn*~
"It's you isn't it Kikyou?"
Kagome paused her eyes narrowing. *Really! What is it with people who call me Kikyou? Whoever that Kikyou character is, she's starting to get on my nerves!* "Look! I don't know who you are but I am not Kikyou! Thank you for catching-WAIT why'd you let him go for?! You in the green sweater STOP!" Kagome yelled hurriedly running after the fleeing Miroku.
~*~
Inuyasha was in shock but not for long. That stupid Miroku was leading Kikyou away from him! "Unforgivable!" he muttered running after her.
~*~
Kagome struggled through people who teemed the sidewalks. *Really! What is everyone doing out on Christmas anyways? People these days! And what's with that guy's stamina?! I'm not catching up at all!? Nooo! This is just pissing me off! It's not just about the money now, why that little...* "Oof!" was all she could say when her right ankle twisted under her and she fell. *No! He's getting away!!! Note to self, start getting in shape...OW!* She got up but found she couldn't put her full weight on her right ankle, let alone run.
"Kikyou! Are you all right Kikyou?"
Her brain was pounding in anger... "YOU! IDIOT! I . Am. NOT. KIKYOU!" she bit off each word and tried to limp off in the direction of that perverted thief. *Really! Was I this bad that fate has to test me so?!*
"Look, Kikyou, sit down, I'll catch that dumbass Miroku for you," that boy with the silver hair said firmly pushing her down.
"What? What do you think you're doing?" Kagome snapped as she was forced to sit against the wall. But the youth had already left running through the crowd. *Is he really going to stop that thief for me? Probably just showing off, jeez if I hadn't twisted my ankle...Wait a second, silver hair...Silver hair...SILVER HAIR? ITS HIM!*
~*~
"Miroku dammit!" Inuyasha growled speeding up as he was catching up. Then with a tackle they both fell to the ground.
"Inuyasha! Why you! Oof!" Miroku muttered as Inuyasha pulled him up and dragged them toward the way that they had just run from. "Er Inuyasha, the limo is parked that way," he added helpfully pointing toward the other way.
"Shut up Miroku, if Kikyou wants you for some reason, we're going back to her," was the reply.
Miroku punched Inuyasha with his free arm. "Does anything get through that thick skull? That's NOT Kikyou! When have you ever seen Kikyou leave her hair down? When she was young her maids braided it for her, and once she was ten she always had it up in the latest fashion! That is not Kikyou!"
"Keh!"
"Inuyasha are you listening?"
Inuyasha kept pulling the struggling Miroku back toward the girl who was surprisingly still sitting where he had left her. As they were nearing her, Inuyasha looked at her again. Miroku was right, her black hair fell behind her shoulders not tied up in anyway. Some of the strands would float with a passing wind even. She was wearing jeans and a jacket which Kikyou usually never wore once they had entered sixth grade. Kikyou had always worn skirts which were apart of a coordinated outfit... They came to a stop in front of her and Inuyasha blanched. The girl had one of the fiercest scowls on her face...
~*~
Kagome was getting madder by the minute.. *How dare he tell me to sit and wait? Just who did that kid think he was anyways? And from the way the thief had talked to him, they knew each other... And why were they both so fast anyways? God, this is so frustrating! Everyone's looking at me when they pass by like I'm some sort of an idiot sitting in the side of the street or even worse! A BEGGAR? They better come back....IF THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO...OH THERE THEY ARE*
She stood up glaring at them. *What's with those faces?* She took a step toward them, and they took a step back. *Really! And what is up with that? That hentai is trying to hide behind bossy over there...* "You! STEP OUT FROM BEHIND HIM RIGHT NOW! I'll take care of silver-hair here in a little bit but you first!" she ordered pointing at Miroku.
"Now, now, I really think this can be solved diplomatically don't you Inuyasha?" was the response.
"Uh yeah, yeah," Inuyasha said uncertainly looking at her.
"I knew it! You ARE on his side! How DARE you?" Kagome said angrily her hands making fists.
"Uh, Kikyou... You really aren't acting like yourself losing control over yourself like that–" Inuyasha started to say when Kagome punched him squarely in the face. (A/N: ^^ Couldn't help myself) "HEY! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!?!" he yelled.
"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT? I'M NOT KIKYOU!" Kagome screamed, turning passing people's glances toward them.
"Now, now, let's calm down why don't we. Oh nothing's happening here folks," Miroku said at the crowd looking at them. He knew if there were two guys fighting one girl, whose side the crowd would choose. Walking over to the angered girl, he slid a hand around her shoulder...Only to be punched in the face.
"Kyaaaah! HENTAI!!! DON'T TOUCH ME YOU HENTAI! PERVERT!" Kagome shrieked and Miroku backed off laughing weekly at the glares pointed at them. If this wasn't stopped soon, he knew someone would call the police, and that's the last thing he wanted.
"Look, why don't we continue this conversation somewhere out of the crowd?" he said grabbing Kagome's hand and running back toward the café.
"LET ME GO! I SAID LET ME GO!"
"OI! MIROKU WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TAKING KIKYOU?!"
~*~
"Owww!" Miroku muttered letting go of Kagome once they were back in Koffea. "You...bit me?" He looked at her with wide eyes and Kagome just glared.
"What's this? Kagome actually caught up to him? But I thought you said Kagome went after the thief, why is he bringing her back? That is him right?" a voice asked curiously making the three turn toward the table near the counter.
"SANGO-CHAN!!!!!! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU'D BE HERE!" Kagome squealed running towards the teenager girl sitting next to Eri. Her long black hair swayed behind her back and she had a silver-jeweled headband to keep it from her face. Miroku raised his eyebrows recognizing one of Harry Winston's originals, he had given his friend the idea of that piece who in turn showed his uncle turning it into reality.
"Kagome-chan, I heard an interesting story from Eri. You were reckless again. But how is it that instead of returning out of breath from losing him, he drags you in here?" Sango asked laughter barely hidden in her voice.
"Oh them. Yeah the one in the green is the perverted thief, and silver-hair over there is his friend." Kagome muttered glaring at them.
On an impulse Miroku asked, "That headband, where'd you get it?"
Sango just stared at him, "Why you want to steal it?"
"No, not that ...but.... " Miroku answered before Inuyasha interrupted.
"You...you're not Kikyou are you?" Inuyasha suddenly said as if enlightened and Miroku sighed again at his friend's infinite capacity of denseness. Kagome just rolled her eyes while Eri and Sango watched.
"That's right, I'm KA-GO-ME, KAGOME ok?" Kagome snapped.
"I don't care who you are...Kikyou was more graceful...and prettier.... Miroku, let's go." Inuyasha growled and started to walk out the door while Kagome scowled.
"Wait!" Sango said suddenly grabbing Miroku who grabbed Inuyasha hoping to be dragged out. Alas Miroku was severely disappointed as Inuyasha turned around to yell at him and Miroku let him go sheepishly. "You still haven't paid," Sango said with a smile, "and since Kagome went through all that trouble, I'd say you should pay before–KYAA!" She slapped Miroku hard after feeling his hand near her hips. "Hentai!"
"I told you he was." was all Kagome answered while Sango seethed. She stepped into a defense stance baring her fists.
"I wouldn't do that again if I were you hentai..." Eri warned.
"Keh, Miroku pay these wenches and lets go!" Inuyasha snarled.
"But Inuyasha, I told you before, my wallets in the car!" Miroku said in what sounded like a whine before shrinking away from the look Inuyasha turned toward him.
"Here," he said getting his wallet out and tossing around ten dollars (AN: Sorry I don't know Japanese currency) on the counter, ignoring the glare Eri and Sango was giving him. As he turned around to leave, he felt someone grab his right arm. Turning around he saw it was that wench, the one who wasn't Kikyou. The nerve! "What! What do you want?" he snapped as she stared into his eyes.
~*~
Kagome saw him turning to leave and without thinking grabbed him. When he turned around she saw his eyes. *There. Those gold eyes, no doubt about it, it's him!* She smiled, "It's you isn't it? I met you three years ago on Christmas–"
"What are you talking about? Let me go wench!" Inuyasha growled pulling his arm.
"No, it's just that I still have your necklace," Kagome said hurriedly, and for some reason the boy stopped struggling. "You know the one from Bedazzle? Don't worry I haven't worn it, it's still in the box–"
"Keh, keep it! I don't care." Inuyasha muttered pushed her away with an odd look in his eyes, and left an annoyed Kagome who wasn't smiling anymore.
"Jeez! I just wanted to return it but since he doesn't want it I will keep it, that jerk!" she muttered.
~*~
Kagome and Sango were walking back towards their home when Kagome ran towards the park. Sango sighing followed her when she was hit by a snowball. The culprit revealed herself by laughing and Sango grinned making her own to toss at Kagome.
"Awww! No fair! You're more athletic than I am!" Kagome whined before ducking behind a tree.
"Not my fault! I told you to be more active during physical education!" Sango retorted running after with two snowballs.
Kagome was running out of breath cheerfully running from Sango who was winning their "war." So far she had only hit Sango 20 times but Sango had gotten her more than 50 when she lost track. She couldn't keep running with her stamina but she had an idea and started running towards the slide when she heard a scream.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! SOMEONE SAVE ME!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!"
~*~
A/N: ^^ Sorry, that just seems like the perfect place to end... But don't worry the next chapter is all sketched out just needs to be put in words. Wonder who's screaming?
