Chapter 8: Trying to Live
By Tainted InuShemeeko
Inuyasha's feet drug the ground as he slowly made is way down the hallway. Today he wore a black t-shirt with blue jeans. His long slivery hair was lose and waving down his back. All of his friends Kane, Dai, and the newly met Miroku knew that something was bugging him big time. They all knew the minute they looked at him, it had been almost a month since that night at Kagome's house and it was killing him. So much so that for the last month he hadn't even bothered about putting in his gold contacts.
"Hey, Inu man how goes it today?"
Kane the waved a hand in front of him, Inuyasha acted as though Kane wasn't even there. Inuyasha then mumbled a half hearted.
"Hey there Kane."
As he then continued his journey down the hall, Kane then looked over at Miroku as he walked over to them.
"Hey, Miroku. So did you get anything out of him in class today?"
Miroku shook his head remorsefully.
"Sadly, I did not. He told me that he didn't want to talk about it, so I did not press for further information. I was however successful at becoming as depressed as our dear Inuyasha."
Kane sighed as he slapped his hand against his face, right before he fell to the ground. Dai then walked up and shook her head at him.
"You want to know what his problem his Kane? I'll tell you. It's Kagome she hasn't spoken nor looked at him for a month. I think it is really killing him, Kagome too."
Miroku kneed his chin as he thought.
"If indeed that is what is wrong. Then that would mean that our dear friend Inuyasha has hidden feelings for Kagome. All we have to do is find a way to help them make up and see that the other as feels for him or her."
'Oh, my dear sweet Sango I do this for you as much as for Inuyasha and Kagome.'
Kagome sighed as she slammed her locker closed. A lone tear slid down her cheek. She hadn't spoken to Inuyasha in over a month. Their drama teacher Mr. Fujita had decided to do "Our Town" for the spring performance. She knew he would probably change his mind; he liked doing that a lot.
Her thoughts then went to the person she was trying not to think of, Inuyasha. How the hell could she have said those things that night? Kagome had her eyes set on him the very first day she had saw him he had taken her breathe a way. She the blushed as she thought about that night, Inuyasha had made her blush more than once. She then made her way to her drama class.
I wanna live, I wanna leave, I wanna open up and breathe
I wanna go, I wanna be, I wanna feel it constantly
gotta show, gotta say, I've gotta feeling that won't go away
I've gotta know if they got a way, my opportunities...
Inuyasha sighed as he continued his way down the hallway. That girl was so confusing she acted like she enjoyed the kiss and then she turned around and changed her mind. It made him wonder how bad he had screwed up. Would he ever get any more opportunities to show her that he wasn't just playing with her?
"Then again stupid if it wasn't in your genes to flirt. She would have taken you seriously."
Just one chance is all I ever wanted
Just one time I'd like to win the game
from now on I'll take the chance if I can have it
just one, just one
All Inuyasha wanted was one chance to prove to Kagome that he really did have feelings for her that he wasn't just playing around with her heart. He was determined the next time the chance came around he was going to take it.
Inuyasha really didn't want to go to his theater class. He knew that Kagome would be there. What had he done wrong? Inuyasha had been sure that she had wanted him to kiss her. Had he been that wrong, could it have been that the strange dreams he had, had they been just dreams that had meant nothing?
I need to think , I need to feed, I need to see if I still bleed
I need a place, I need a time, 'cause I need to step outside that line
gonna give, gonna take, I'm gonna scream 'till I am awake
I'm gonna push, I'm gonna pull, open up the door...
Kagome was still kicking herself as she made her was into her classroom. Oh how she wished she could come back through time and change what she had said but she couldn't. Or could she in a way?
and if I knew when the door was open I'd go, I would go on through
and I can say, when I do I'll never be the same, never
be the
same.......
A gasp escaped from Kagome's lips as Inuyasha made his way into
the classroom. This was the first time she had really looked at him.
Inuyasha's wasn't wearing his contacts. She was trying to live without
him in her life, thoughts and she was failing. Which made her wonder
where he stood with her.
Inuyasha's breath caught in his throat as he caught Kagome's
gaze upon him. He had been trying to live without her in his life and
he was finding out that he was failing. She was in his every waking
thought. Haunted his dreams at night. There were times that he could
still feel her lips upon his.
Five minutes after he sat down. A hand shot out and hit him
upside of the head. Inuyasha turned to glare at the girl behind him.
"Damn it Dai. Would you cut that out?"
The girl just shook her head her black curls bouncing as she
did.
"Nope not till you make up with Kagome."
Inuyasha couldn't believe what he was hearing. She wanted him to
make up with her? What the hell did he do?
"Feh. Why should I be the one to make up first?"
Dai couldn't believe what she was hearing coming for Inuyasha.
She was so angry she slapped him in the back of the head again.
"Hey...ow...stop that...ow...knock it off."
He had some nerve asking what he'd done wrong.
"You're the one who kissed Kagome aren't you?"
Inuyasha looked over at her with a blank expression on his face.
"Hey so what does that have to do with anything. We kissed
so what. Then she pushed me away and that was that."
Dai growled as she beat Inuyasha upside the head causing three
large lumps to appear.
"Tell me Inuyasha, what is Kagome to you?"
"She my friend of course what else would she be?"
Dai slapped her hand against her face. Inuyasha was hopeless. If
he didn't understand how Kagome truly felt then he was never going to
get it.
"What else would she be?! What kind of question is that?
Did you ever think that you being her friend would be confusing to
her? I know for a fact that she likes you, like you know. She'd
started to come to terms that friends were all you guys were going to
be and then you go and kiss her. In her bedroom no less, don't you
find that to be a little weird?"
Inuyasha swallowed hard as he slowly looked in Kagome's
direction. She really had feelings for him. Then that would mean
that...oh boy did he feel stupid now. By the end of class Inuyasha was
determined to make it up to Kagome. Mr. Fujita had explained to them
that try outs would be in three weeks for "Our Town".
Miroku frowned as he watched Kane carrying a bucket full of
water. He didn't like Kane's plan at all.
"I'm not sure if this is such a good idea. Someone could
get hurt."
"Relax Mirkou it's just a little water. Everything will be
fine I promise."
Miroku on the other hand was having major doubts about this.
"You may do what you want, but I want no part of it. I'm
going to see if Sango needs a ride home."
With that Miroku disappeared leaving Kane there to himself.
Inuyasha's thoughts were consumed with thoughts of Kagome as he
headed out toward the entrance of the high school. His sneaker made a
splash as it hit the water that was now on the floor. Causing him look
down at his now wet pants legs.
"Aw. Damn it."
He pulled his pants leg up a little bit and continued his way toward
the doors. Inuyasha's movements were seconds to late turning as Kagome
headed in the same direction as him. The clicking of Kagome's canes on
the tile floor seemed to bring his sense back to him, as something
that Kagome had told him about her canes. Inuyasha's violet orbs
widened as Kagome words raced through his mind.
'See the thing about my canes and anything slippery, which is
basically anything liquid. I have no brakes I just slide right through
it.'
Inuyasha's body seemed to be frozen at first. However the minute one of Kagome's canes hit the water. Inuyasha found himself moving forward trying to stop her from going into the class trophy case.
"AAAAHHH!"
Kagome screamed as she felt her cane hit the puddle on the floor.
'Shit this isn't going to be pretty.' ,was her only thought as she prepared to crash into the schools trophy case.
However, to her surprise instead of hitting something hard she hit
something soft and fell to the ground. Panic flooded Kagome's brain as
one though pulsed through it.
'Oh god. I just landed on someone.'
The person beneath her moaned lightly. Causing her to look down at
them her eyes widened when she realized who it was.
"Oh Inuyasha are you ok?"
Inuyasha shifted his weight from under Kagome, as he sat up.
"No big deal. My bag broke my fall. You?"
Kagome smiled shyly down at him.
"I'm fine too. You...uh broke my fall."
Both of them blushed as they looked at the other one. Well so much for the two of them living without the other, for it seemed like something was determined for them to be together.
Kane's mouth dropped open at the sight of Inuyasha and Kagome lying on the ground. His eyes then traveled to the water that was on the floor and then down at his bucket, which was still full of water. Kane raised a hand to rub the back of his head.
"Now that's weird. It's almost like something else wants them to be together. That's just plain weird."
Kane then turned and carried his bucket back down the hall to the boy's bathroom. Maybe this is what it was like when fate decided to put two people together. If it was Kane decided that he was glad that fate hadn't done that to him when he meet Dai.
