On with the story. Sit back and enjoy.
"Inuyasha?" I said outraged. Good looking or not, I was still mad at him.
"You're Kagome?"
"Wait, you two met each other?" Kikyo asked aghast.
"Met? He made me fall into the lake."
"I did not. It's not my fault your balance sucks."
"You threw a golf ball. If I hadn't turned around, I would've gotten hit on the head, fall into the lake and drown."
"I swam after you. It's not like I left you there. It's not my fault you can't swim." I glared at him as he glared at me.
"I…"I was just about to yell at him but my mother interrupted.
"Kagome, that is enough. You will not be so rude to our guest. You have a big mouth. You never know when to shut it. I don't blame him for throwing a golf ball at you. I sometimes too want to throw one at you." I gaped at my mother as Kikyo laughed and so did my mother.
"It was an accident…" He tried to explain but was cut off by my evil mother.
"Nonsense. You were right. It's not our fault that she's clumsy. Let's go Inuyasha. The food is getting cold." They led him to the dining room and left me standing there feeling stupid. That was a gift that was shared between my mother and Kikyo. Tears were forming but I brushed them away. I will not let them get to me, no matter what they say. I was interrupted by a comforting hand. It was Sango. "I heard everything. I'm sorry. I got lost in your house and I forgot where your room was." I laughed. She always knew how to cheer me up. "So that's why you were all wet that day."
"Shut up." I smiled and walked to the dining room with a little more courage. I was forced to sit across Inuyasha and Sango sat next to me. I tried my best not to look at Inuyasha but I failed miserably as I felt his eyes on me, filled with sympathy. I looked at him and told him with my eyes not to feel sorry for me. He seemed to understand me because he slightly nodded.
"And I told mother that I knew you were the one." Kikyo kissed his cheek and he looked down.
"Kikyo is a very bright, strong, beautiful girl." Mother chirped happily and Kikyo smiled brightly. I laughed silently because Kikyo was so naïve. She is not bright. She only cared for make-up and boys.
"What's so funny Kagome?" Inuyasha asked with a smile on his face as well.
"Nothing you'll understand…I mean, just remembering the good times I had in this house." I could feel my mother's stare burn right through me. Kikyo noticed him smiling at me and scowled.
"Talk about good times. I remember that time when I was 6 and you were 8 and I threw you down the stairs." My mother and Kikyo were laughing. Inuyasha looked at her horrified then looked at me. Sango gaped at her, ready to strike if need be. I was not going to be weak, I will beat them this time. I started to laugh myself and Inuyasha and Sango both looked at me.
"And mom didn't do anything except yell 'again, again' between laughter and gasping for air." My mother stopped and looked at me. Here we go, the games have begun.
"It was funny. I would have yelled 'again' too if I saw a little girl crying helplessly over her twisted ankle." I laughed more and as did Kikyo. See? Not bright, she doesn't get what I'm doing.
"Oh dear, sister. You were so weak and you're older than me. I bet you that you're still weak." Twitch, twitch. Can't lose it, can't lose it.
"Um, my brother hit my head with a baseball." Inuyasha said as he cleared his throat. I should thank him, I was being the laughing stock of the table.
"Aww, that's not funny. Poor baby." She kissed him.
"You don't have to feel sorry for Kagome, Inuyasha. She loves getting all of the attention, right Kagome?" The way she looked at me, I swear I could've just leaped at her and keep hitting her until she cried. "I mean, I still remember that time when you pranced around my daddy in that outfit of yours. I mean, jeez, you'd think you'd have some respect for yourself. Do you remember that?" Her eyes were so cold and heartless. I was shocked. How could she say that? Her dad almost… Tears were forming and tried to come out but I would not let them. I held my head up high, I will not cower from their evilness.
"Kikyo!" Sango glared at her as she recalled the events, but Kikyo's eyes remained on me. As if waiting for me to break down crying in my own pity. She was so evil. How could she? I was screaming inside. That was not fair. I was going to get her where it hurt, just like how she did me. I was going to win. I was going to make her beg for forgiveness.
"Oh I remember that just like how I remember the time when you stole all of mommy's expensive jewelry and framed me. During the time they yelled at me, I knew it was a distraction that you created so you could sneak in your geometry teacher and give him your virginity. And you still managed to fail." her smile quickly disappeared and she had anger in her eyes. For a moment, I thought she was going to kill me.
"KAGOME." My mother yelled at me and as she wrapped her arms around Kikyo protectively. I was dead by the look she bore into my soul.
"Mommy, it's not true. That whore is lying. The only one sleeping around was Kagome." She looked at her mother, yes her mother. She is no longer mine and I wouldn't want her to be. Kikyo's eyes had tears, well, what looked like tears.
"It's alright. Don't believe what she said. Kagome you will pay for this. What did I tell you when you first stepped foot here?" She looked at me deadly, so deadly that I was fearing for my life. I hit it, her weak spot.
"The only thing you told me mother was that you loved me." Bingo. "Oh Inuyasha, sorry for witnessing 'family love' and welcome to the family. Hopefully you loved your visit here. Now if you don't excuse me, I am going to get out of this hellhole I call home."
"DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO HIM YOU SLUT." Kikyo yelled as my mother held her.
"Come on Sango, we are getting the hell away from here."
"Oh no you're not. You are to stay here. Naraku is coming later and you'll need to say hi to him." I laughed, I laughed out of anger and of surprise. "Oh god mother, how much I love you."
"Yeah, Kagome, my father's coming. Don't you want to sleep with him first before you go?"
"Kikyo, that's enough!!" Inuyasha was the next one who spoke. He defended me. I looked at him and he stared at Kikyo angrily. I laughed more at the face Kikyo had. She was shocked and she looked at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha?"
"I'm leaving and I'll come back when you calm down. Kagome, do you need a ride?"
I was speechless so I just nodded my head. I needed to get out of there because I wasn't sure how long I could keep from crying.
"Inuyasha? Don't. I'm sorry. Don't go with her." She grabbed his arm and looked at him.
He pulled his arm free. "I'll come back later. Let's go." Sango and I walked out first and he went behind us as if scared Kikyo might do something.
"INUYASHA. INUYASHA, DON'T. KAGOME YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS." I looked back and Inuyasha pulled me towards the car and helped me inside. We drove off and as soon the house was no longer visible, I cried onto Sango's shoulder, reliving it all in my head.
