Second Time Around

Chapter 5, Memories are short

By Midnight Blood and friends

~*--*~

Thoughts started racing through Kagome's mind rapidly. 'Inuyasha, Inuyasha, Inuyasha. . . Kikyo.' Kagome thought of all the places she had seen Inuyasha, and all the times they were together. 'That jerk.'

"Kagome? Kagome are you still there?" A hand came down in front of Kagome's face. Kagome jumped.

"What? Oh, Sango."

"Kagome are you ok?"

"Yeah, let me go and buy this." Kagome said and headed for the cashier.

"So what did you get?" Sango asked as they walked out the door.

Kagome handed Sango the magazine.

"Hey, isn't that the rich new guy from school? Who is that person by him?" Sango asked pointing to a woman who looked a lot like Kagome.

Kagome looked disgusted. "Read the article and find out." Kagome said with out looking at the magazine or Sango.

Sango started flipping through the pages. She started reading an article. "He's engaged!?" Sango said.

"He's what!?" Kagome said finally looking at Sango then down at the magazine. Sango pointed to the sentence.

"He's engaged to that bitch?" Kagome was mad. "Well she fits him perfectly. He's a bitch, she's a bitch too." Kagome said. Sango and Kagome walked out of the mall and to Sango's car.

They were driving down to the collage when they started to talk again.

"Kagome, when did you know Inuyasha before?" Sango could tell that something was bothering Kagome.

"Don't want to talk about it. What did you get for Miroku?" Kagome said changing the subject.

"Oh, just a little book. Hopefully it will do him some good." Sango said with a smirk. "Come on Kagome, I know this is bothering you. Would you please tell me?" Sango was desperate to know what happened between Kagome and Inuyasha.

"Fine if you must know. . . He went to Junior High with me at Kyaku Junior High school. We were just friends. Well really close friends. Everyone thought that we were going out. Inuyasha didn't care if I went out with another guy and I didn't care if he went out with another girl. Then one day he lied to me. He told me that he was going out to dinner with his parents, it happened to be that I was going to the same restaurant that he was going to. I saw him there with that bitch. I don't really know what happened to him after that because we moved to Kyoto, and I just forgot about him because I didn't want to remember him." Kagome finished.

"That's harsh." Sango said as she parked in the parking lot of the college. "So you didn't remember him when you saw him here at school?"

"No, I recognized his hair, ears and eyes. I don't really know about his name though. I guess I refused to remember his name." Kagome said when they got into their room. "I don't have any idea why he's engaged to Kikyo. He never liked her."

"Well why did he go out with her?"

"I don't know, he tried to tell me something at the restaurant but I refused to listen." Kagome felt tears start to form. "Sango what have I done? I lost the most precious thing in my life."

"Don't worry about it Kagome, you were young. Just forget about it."

"That's what I have been doing, just forgetting about everything about him. Now that I find him again, I can't get him back. He's engaged. He most likely doesn't even remember me." Kagome had tears running down her cheek.

"I'm going to go get some dinner. I'll be back later." Sango said and left Kagome sitting on her bed thinking.

'I never wanted to see that jerks face again.' Kagome thought. 'Now that I see it, I don't know what to do. I could make his life miserable. No, that doesn't work. I could torment him for 4 years while he's here. No that's to long. I could torment him for awhile. Yeah that works.'

~*--*~

'How about we start off with him remembering me.' Kagome thought as she looked at her tray of food the next day. Kagome put her tray down at the table that Sango and Miroku were sitting.

"Kagome what are you doing?" Miroku asked when Kagome picked up her chocolate pudding. Sango saw something in Kagome's eyes.

"Kagome what are you going to do with that?" Sango asked.

"You'll see." Kagome said and walked over to the table where Inuyasha was sitting. 'He's going to remember and I'm not going to let him forget.' Kagome thought as she walked up to Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha?" Inuyasha looked up at Kagome. "Do you remember me?" Inuyasha looked at Kagome like she was weird.

"No." He said bluntly.

"Will this make you remember?" Kagome said and pushed the bowel of pudding onto Inuyasha's face.

"What did you do that for?"

"For lying to me."

"What do you mean lying to you. I don't even know you." Inuyasha was confused.

"You're just like you used to be Inuyasha."

"How can you talk to me like you personally know me?"

"Take a good long look Inuyasha. Don't you remember? Three years ago, Junior High, at a restaurant."

Inuyasha looked at Kagome and thought about what she said. 'Three years ago, a restaurant. It can't be. . .'

"Inuyasha, you are so dumb. You may have cash unlimited but you don't have a memory." Kagome said and walked away.

"Kagome wait." Kagome stopped cold. 'What did he just say? He didn't, he didn't.' Kagome thought. A hand laid on her shoulder. Kagome turned around to face Inuyasha. He had pudding all over his face.

"I thought I already told you I never wanted to see you again." Kagome said. "Why did you come here?"

"Because I live here." Inuyasha said.

"And when did you and Kikyo get together? The day that you lied to me or did you wait?"

Inuyasha looked down. "And does she really love you like I. . ." Kagome never finished instead she ran out of the courtyard.

'Like I what?' Inuyasha thought.

~*--*~

'I almost blew it back there. What was I thinking? Yeah Kagome just go out and tell the whole school. What were you thinking?' Kagome thought to herself while she was running down the halls to her room.

'I'm such a total idiot. How could I have thought that Inuyasha ever loved me?'

Sango came into the room. "Kagome? Do you want to go into the band room and practice?" Sango asked.

"Sure why not." Kagome got up and whipped her tears from her cheek.

Kagome and Sango walked down to the band room. When they got there Miroku was already there setting everything up.

Sango went over, picked up a guitar, and hooked it up. She started to tune it.

Kagome went over and stood by a microphone. She tested it by tapping lightly on the top. It was on.

"Well, what are we going to do?" Miroku asked.

"You pick." Kagome said.

Sango stood up and too her place. Miroku started to play. Kagome and Sango came in at the same time.

~*--*~

Wake up in the morning

My hairs a mess

No clothes in my drawers

Man life sucks

Hot waters gone

All I've got is cold

My life's a wreck

Why would you care?

~*--*~

Sango walked up to Kagome and started singing with her.

~*--*~

It's my life

Man it sucks

Can someone help?

Who would care about me?

~*--*~

Sango backed up a step.

~*--*~

Kagome kept singing. No one noticed that someone had opened the door and peeking in on them.

'I never knew she sang. She has the most beautiful voice.'

~*--*~

After they were done Kagome and Sango went back to their dorm. "Do you know where Miroku lives?" Kagome asked Sango as they walked.

"Umm. . . I think he lives in the same dorm as Inuyasha. I'm not sure."

"Oh. What do you think of us going professional?" Kagome asked.

Sango looked at her with a strange look on her face. "I don't know, I haven't really thought of that very much. I think it would be really cool if we were famous some day though." Sango said.

"I was just wondering because I really think we could do it." Kagome had a smile on her face as they entered their room.

'Yeah that would be nice.' Sango thought to herself. 'Even if we weren't rich, that would be really cool to be famous.'

Kagome went to her desk and started to do some work that was due the next day.

(A/N: Ok I'm sorry I couldn't make this any longer but I need to stop. I'll try to get as many chapters up as I can before school starts. (for me) I might not have as much time. Thank you to all of you who have reviewed. I'm trying as hard as I can to update. Well, the next chapter should be up by Wednesday if not I don't know when. )
