Chapter 2
*
Kagome and Kikyou had been friends ever since first grade. Back then, they shared everything with each other.
Trust…
Emotions…
Happenings…
Opinions…
Friendship…
They even shared looks!
Kagome and Kikyou had been regarded to as "the twins." They looked almost exactly alike! Sometimes, because they looked so alike, they even switched places for the fun of it! They only ones that could tell the difference were their parents…
They'd practically lived at each others houses. Both of their parents regarded the other girl as a second daughter of their own. Souta, Kagome's little brother, had even known Kikyou as "'nee-chan" because he was barely three years of age, and couldn't pronounce her name, when they'd met.
They'd been so, extremely close… They could read each other's emotions and feelings easily. It was almost like mind reading considering their predictions on emotions were so accurate…
But, things changed once the entered middle school. They'd changed a lot, well, Kikyou had. She'd become fascinated in the arts of flirting with boys and playing with other peoples' minds while Kagome remained the same, naïve as ever…
Inuyasha only added to their conflict. He'd moved into a local house, more exactly, Kagome's next-door neighbor. He'd enrolled in their school in the sixth grade,
Kagome and Inuyasha were rivals from the start. They were always competing and comparing themselves with one another, pointing out weaknesses that they could beat. The even had nicknames for each other. Inuyasha'd called Kagome a "miko wench" because her family descended from a long line of priestesses and priests. Kagome had called Inuyasha "dog boy" because, well, Inuyasha had… dog… ears on top of his head.
Kagome nearly giggled at the memory…
Kikyou had realized that Kagome's hatred and competitive attitude was all a front and Kagome had admitted her feelings to Kikyou, trusting her to stay silent of it and not betray her with rumors of the truth.
Kikyou had broken Kagome's trust almost instantly, though. She'd feigned obsessive, flirtatious actions towards Inuyasha because of jealousy, Kagome supposed, at least. Inuyasha refused all of Kikyou's offers, thankfully. Maybe he'd seen the trickery in it or maybe he just didn't like Kikyou then. Which it was, Kagome didn't know…
Kagome'd seen in directly, however. She'd seen the smug looks cast her way lazily as Kikyou tried to sweet talk Inuyasha. Kagome loathed her for it. Kikyou'd broken all Kagome's trust and honor…
Kikyou'd practically stalked Inuyasha, fawning over the ground he walked upon. Kagome had always been simply appalled by her open gestures. She was sure that Inuyasha'd caught on! Okay, sure, Inuyasha was a little dense but he wasn't blind…
Over that time, Inuyasha and Kagome had become close friends. Best friends, actually. Inuyasha seemed to give off a protective aura when he was around Kagome, somewhat how an older sibling would. Especially around boys…
Kagome was rather well-know around her school. Just as she started high school, boys seemed to flock around her like lost sheep, seeking a shepherd. When Inuyasha wasn't around, that is…
As their Friendship improved, Inuyasha became more and more irritated with Kikyou's pining. Every once and a while, he'd lash out at one of her gestures and yell a threat or insult. It really was a wonder that the whole school didn't fear him – only half…
But, even at Inuyasha's nerve, Kikyou's fronts only continued, more frequently and pushier by the day….
Come to think of it, maybe Inuyasha just wanted Kikyou out of his hair, so to speak, and he decided to ask her out so she'd back off…
Meaning, all he'd have to do was dump that witch – Ugh! There she went thinking badly of her again – and…
Kagome barely suppressed a squeal of happiness at her own thoughts as she sat in study hall – she and her class – of fourth period. She loved the Kikyou, really - she used to be the best friend she had - but she just hated how she was trying to play Inuyasha! Kagome's eyes hovered over the words of the book again, as the teacher passed - trying to make it look as if she was doing something, but her gaze soon wandered to the being sitting before from her.
Inuyasha.
And beside him: to the left?
Ugh! Kikyou…
She was leaning all over Inuyasha! How much more sickening could she make it look?!
Kagome barely suppressed an audible growl as Kikyou's indifferent eyes – That was something else that changed as the entered middle school. Kikyou'd lost all warmth in her eyes - flicked up to her, smirking silently. That girl… Kagome seethed. She tried desperately to keep, what she hoped was, a calm disposition as Inuyasha looked up at her.
His lips quirked into a small smile and he looked back down at the book.
Kagome blinked in surprise.
The bell soon rang and the students all hurried out of the room. Kikyou, Inuyasha, and Kagome walked out together, heading for lunch, where they would meet Miroku and Sango. They were the last to leave, Kagome noted silently.
Kagome looked over to Inuyasha and Kikyou just in time to see Inuyasha sling an arm around Kikyou's shoulders lazily, watching Kagome from the corner of his eye.
Their gaze met briefly before Inuyasha looked away, finding that Kikyou was speaking to him. Kagome lowered her eyes, hiding the dismay clear on her face for the, in Kagome's opinion, unreasonable act.
Bastard…
How could he??
…
But, then again, how couldn't he? She was his girlfriend, after all…
There were those chances…
Chances that Kikyou didn't feel anything for Inuyasha…
Chances that Inuyasha didn't care for Kikyou…
Or Kagome, for that matter…
But…
She'd been here…
She'd been true…
And Inuyasha had chosen Kikyou over her…
If things didn't change…
There would he a heart break waiting to happen…
…
…Kagome's heartbreak…
