Chapter 3
*
Inuyasha scrubbed at his cheek vehemently as the girl flounced away and around the corner. Disgusting! He fought the urge to gag, even just at the thought. She'd kissed him! Even if it was only on the cheek… It brought him back to his elementary days, when he thought cooties still existed. He would have sworn he was infected with some awful disease! She marred his perfect cheek! That was uncalled for! He'd have to make sure to wash it extra well once he got inside…
Inuyasha bolted for the house, still trying to cleanse his cheek of her germs with his shirt sleeve.
Just as he went to open the door, it opened from the other way, revealing his older brother. "Well, well, well, Inuyasha, what was that I saw? Your sweetheart kiss you goodbye?" he teased his younger brother.
Inuyasha cast him a disgusted scowl. "Screw off… Fluffy!" he dared, dashing into bathroom in a second and locking the door behind him.
Cries of protest for Sesshoumaru's nickname were heard from outside the door, loud and clear, but Inuyasha merely ignored them. He scowled at the lip marks left on his cheek from the girl's heavily applied make-up. He found an old, throw-away cloth that could be spared to use then thrown out. He wouldn't talk the risk of reusing something that had her germs of it.
He continued to scrub the spot raw, until he was satisfied that every, single germ had been diminished.
Once done, fifteen minutes later, he carefully dropped the contaminated cloth into the trash can beside the vanity and examined his cheek. It was red and irritated; he'd certainly rubbed it raw. He tentatively prodded the tender spot, scowling.
I certainly hope you appreciate this… Kagome…
Kagome stared sullenly at a crack in the shrine courtyard idly. She leaned in the broom that her 'jii-chan had asked her to sweep with.
Of course, she'd forced a grin and accepted his request, thinking it might get her mind off the events of that day. But, once she'd gotten outside, she'd regretted it instantly. Groaning, she'd headed outside and began; thus finding herself in this position, dwelling over her sorrows.
A cold gust startled her out of her wonders and she shivered involuntarily. It was freezing out!
Kagome sighed, giving up on her chore. She hurried inside and set the broom in its proper space, calling to her grandfather that her task was done. Well, almost…
Shrugging out of her coat, she trudged up the stairs. She was miserable. Who'd known that loosing your crush to another girl was so hard? She buried her head in her hands, scrubbing away the wretched tears that formed.
She'd looked at the problem for over ten minutes now… She scanned the page; there were about thirty (30) more to finish. Kagome sighed and let her head fall into the math book and problems she was to complete. It was hopeless; she couldn't contemplate the numbers. That didn't work out very well.
Without even realizing it, she'd moved to her bed and curled herself under the blankets. She was surprised by the tears spilling from her eyes. She hid her head in the pillows below her and sobbed.
It was a relief.
Kagome's mother wandered into Kagome's room later that night to call the girl to dinner. She stopped short in her call when she saw her daughter curled up on bed, asleep, with a forlorn look upon her face. Her mother's brows furrowed together in wonderment, pondering on why her eldest child looked so down. She shook her head in confusion and went to turn off Kagome's desk lamp so she could sleep comfortably. Mrs. Higurashi fled silently, let's her daughter's door close behind her with a soft click, to go tell the family to keep the noise down.
Kagome shot up as the door closed. Something had woken her. She looked around the room. It was dark, she observed. Who'd turned off her lamp? She scrubbed the tear stains from her cheeks and got up. She stumbled to her desk in the dark and clicked the light on. She moved the curtains to look out just in time to see a figure approach. She blanched as the figure looked up, as if sensing her, and met her gaze with a frigid glare.
Kagome dropped the curtain immediately and sunk into her desk chair. Why is she here?
The woman figure knocked politely on the Higurashi's front door and forced a docile smile. As the door opened, she stepped forward instantly.
"Hello, I'd like to speak to Kagome, please…"
Souta, who'd answered the door, watched the woman in awe; unable to speak, he opened the door farther and let her in.
The girl stepped in the household and she smiled down at the twelve-year-old boy. She ruffled his hair with thanks and immediately headed towards the stairs. She knew exactly where Kagome's room was.
Souta, not even noticing the tremendously offensive gesture to his hair, gulped at the venomous aura she gave off and ran into the dining room where his mother and 'jii-chan sat at the low table, eating. "'nee-chan's here!" he announced loudly.
Each activity from each family member stopped immediately and they all clambered up into standing positions. "Oh, well, it's been such a long time…" Mrs. Higurashi mumbled good-naturedly. "Where's she gone, Souta?"
Souta pointed upwards. "To see Kagome…"

^^;; Okay, this chapter seems a little short to me but I thought it was the best stop I could make… Tell me what you think, please?
Reviewers: I have a snippet of my new story, Blood Sisters, for you… If you would please read it with a summary of what you think of it and if you would actually be interested in reading it, that would be excellent:
The near-priceless vase shattered pitilessly as it collided with the wall, "That wench! She took him from me!" Kikyou raged, throwing another breakable object at the wall. She'd end up paying for it later but, at the moment, she didn't care. She was far too angry to care…
Her cold, brown orbs narrowed just at the thought of that… that… that bitch taking Inuyasha from her. Her black hair whipped around her as she launched another object at the wall. This time, she threw a picture. The framed photograph hit the wall with such force that the glass inside the frame splintered instantly, ripping apart the picture within.
…It was a picture of Kagome and herself, grinning and laughing. It was shred to pieces, like their friendship…
Thank you so much!!
Review please,
