Chapter 7
Kagome lay on her bed in the morning thinking to herself. Mom won't let me leave. She's done this before…she's slapped me before too. Why? Why did Sota have to get the goody-goody genes, and I get the lame brain sister ones? Just once, I'd like to be able to do something on my own without my own mother telling me I'm worthless. The punished girl sighed. Who am I kidding? Mom would kill me. Literally. She hates me. Just because I'm like him…like Dad…
~*+~*+~*+ flashback (but Kagome doesn't know, just a background) ~*+~*+~*+
The doctors held the small infant. "She's beautiful," one of them compliment Mrs. Higurashi as he handed the tiny girl to her mother.
But when the mother pulled the covers out of the way, her face went from bliss and joy of having a new born, to hate and anger. "She…looks like…HIM…" the woman said through gritted teeth.
The doctors were confused. "Who? Looked like who, ma'am?"
"THE MAN WHO ABANDONED ME FOR ANOTHER WOMAN! THAT TWO TIMING SAD EXCUSE FOR A HUSBAND!" Mrs. Higurashi screamed, causing the tiny infant to howl in her mothers arms.
"Calm down, please, ma'am." The doctors and nurses tried to calm the angered woman.
"I hate her! Take her away!" The woman screamed.
~*+~*+~*+ end ~*+~*+~*+
From what Kagome had been told as she grew up, her mother hated her because she resembled her father so much. And her father had apparently left just a few days before the birth. And he didn't just leave, he left Kagome's mother with an emotional scar that would never heal. And that scar would ooze hatred for him, and his daughter.
Mrs. Higurashi was walking up the stairs. "Kagome?" she asked softly from outside the girl's door. "Can I come in?"
"Fine." Kagome hissed through gritted teeth.
The girl's mother came in and softly shut the door behind her. "listen. I was really being a terrible mother yesterday. What do you say I write you a sick note and you go to school?"
Kagome couldn't really say anything against it. "Whatever." She got up and picked out her uniform from the selection of clothes in her closet. "I'll be downstairs in a little bit." Kagome hissed.
~*~
Kids stared as Kagome walked into class late. "Sorry Mr. Kimitsoshi." Kagome laid the sick note on his desk and took her seat.
"Well, I expect you are completed with your assignment, Ms. Higurashi?" The man asked from the front of the room.
"Yes." Kagome replied meekly. She took her book out of her bag and set it on her desk, quickly turning to the days lesson she was working on.
"Way to go, Higurashi," a familiar girl's voice whispered in her ear.
"Just leave it alone, Kikyo," Kagome shushed back. She turned and saw Sango mouthing something. "what?" she mouthed back. Sango gave a wave, and shook her head. Kagome turned to her work and picked up her pencil.
~*~
"Where were you?" Sango asked Kagome at her locker. The two girls were only two apart from each other. "I didn't think you'd show up that late today. What happened?"
"Nothing. I just…wasn't feeling good…" Kagome lied. She was digging through her locker for a book, when her hand stumbled on a note in the back of her locker. What's this? She thought. I'll read it later. She told her self.
"Something wrong?" Sango asked.
"No. I better not be late to anymore classes, see you around." Kagome walked off to her history class in a hurry, abandoning the quickly approaching boy she didn't know what there.
"What's her hurry?" Inuyasha asked grumpily to Sango, who closed her locker and turned to head to her class.
"I don't know. She showed up late today." The girl said walking off.
"That annoying wench is a pain…" The hanyou mumbled to himself. He followed Sango to the class they were in together, Home EC (heh heh…)
~*~
Kagome opened her history book and picked the note open. She opened it and saw it was written in a hurry, very sloppy and messy.
Kagome-
Wait for me by your locker. I need
to ask you something.
I'll see you then.
That was interesting. She looked around to make sure the teacher hadn't seen her. What's going on? Kagome folded the note up carefully and slid it into her pocket.
~*~
Kagome stood patiently by her locker after school. Most of the kids had already left, and very few were left in the hallway. Her head spun when her name was called by the person she didn't want to see at the moment… "Hey,…Koga (dun dun dun!)" she said weakily.
"Hey, I saw you standing here, and I figured now was the best time as ever. I have a question for you to answer. A simple yes or no, but I'm hoping you'll say yes.." the boy started.
Is he the one? The one who left me the note? Kagome wondered as she watched the demon get nervous. "Well…"
"Would you, uh………..go to the dance with me? Since you don't have anyone to go with, and neither do I…?"
Kagome was shocked. She'd never thought someone like Koga would come out and ask her something like this before. And she'd only been here less than a week. How could things have changed so quickly.
Her mind was rushing with thoughts, should she, or shouldn't she? If she said yes, then her first dance wouldn't be spent without a boy to dance with, but if she said no, what would happen to her? Would the whole school suddenly go into total and complete ignoration of someone like her? After all, Koga had power. He was popular. He was cool. He was everything. Except star basketball athlete, that was Inuyasha.
"So? Will you?" He asked again. His face was trying to look as calm as possible, but inside he was filled with hope that the girl would say yes.
"I…" Kagome started.
"No, she ain't goin' with you." A familiar boy's voice said.
"Inuyasha…?" Kagome whispered.
"Look, what do you want, dog face?" Koga shouted.
"Kagome ain't going with you. Didn'tcha hear me?" Inuyasha said stepping between Kagome and Koga.
"And then who would she be going with?" Koga argued back.
"Not you! That's what!"
"Stop it both of you!" Kagome said stepping between the two arguing males. "You're both acting like 5 year olds…" she said quietly.
The inu-hanyou and wolf demon stared each other down until finally, Koga decided to walk off. "This is a waste of my time. Be careful, my Kagome! Don't let dog-turd do anything to ya!"
*0_0* *Ø_Ø'*
Inuyasha walked off. "Wait! Where do you think you're going? I got a thing or two to ask you!" Kagome yelled running up beside Inuyasha.
"What?" he asked, sounding a bit pissed.
"What you said yesterday, was it true?" Kagome asked.
The hanyou stopped. His mind suddenly flew back to what he'd said yesterday…and he knew it exactly…."Geeze. She acts like I like her. It's annoying sometimes! I wish she'd leave me alone…" Now what had he done? Had he really meant that? Was that really him that said it? It couldn't have been. He'd never talk like that about someone, no matter who they were.
"So it's true! You really think that? I didn't think you were that low, Inuyasha. Why?" A tear formed in the corner of the girl's eye. "I trusted you more than that, and it was shot down in no more than a few days…" Kagome walked off.
"Wait! Kagome!" Inuyasha called after her.
"Stay away!" she yelled back at him.
"Wait and hear me out!!!" he yelled back. Kagome stopped, but she didn't turn around. "Listen, I wasn't talking about you! Honest!"
"Then who was it?!" Kagome yelled, turning to face the saddened hanyou. "It's not going to be Kikyo, is it? So WHO?!"
"…It was." Inuyasha said looking down at the ground.
Kagome was shocked. "You lie. You said my NAME doofus!"
"No! It's not like that! Some of the guys wanted to know who you were, and since they don't know you, I was telling them…then they pointed to a girl that's been hanging around me, I have no idea who she is. But she…she's not you. Trust me! I swear, I would never say anything like that!"
"But you did!" Kagome spat back. She was ticked. Her timer had gone up.
"SHUT UP AND LET ME EXPLAIN! Kikyo has been driving me mad with her goody-goody act and following me everywhere I go, and using me for everything! I'm sick and tired of her treating me like dish rag!"
Kagome looked at Inuyasha with resentment and feeling. "You…honestly weren't?"
"No! I swear it!" The hanyou sighed with relief. Kagome smiled.
"Then…" Kagome started.
Inuyasha got a bit red. "Kagome…I got something I have to ask you, now that that's over with…"
The girl got a bit pink and her heart started beating faster, Is HE the one that put the note in my locker?????
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A/N: ok, so do things get a bit clearer???? I hope so…. Ok, the real reason that Kagome's mom is so mean to her is cuz of her dad. She doesn't like her father cuz he did something to really hurt her, and because kagome resembles him, she doesn't like her.
And with that ending….just wait!!! like I've said a thousand times already, DON'T RUSH TO CONCLUSIONS!!!
^_^ don't have anything else to say!!!
