A/N: sorry it's taking me so long to continue this, but this weekend was
really busy for me. I have had about two graduation parties a day to go to,
not to mention a barbeque at my house that I didn't know was going to
happen. ^_^;; Not to worry, though! I've got some excellent ideas for this
story; Enjoy!!!
Disclaimer: *renames her dog Inuyasha* HA! Now I own Inuyasha, see?! Muahahahahaha.. ____________________
Inuyasha clenched his fists, a growl slipping quietly past his lips. Who does this human think he is?! The hanyou silently snarled, watching as Kagome opened the door and greeted Hojo with a smile. He handed her something wrapped in brightly colored paper and tied with a bow; the raven- haired girl's expression soon turned from happy and a bit flustered, to shock as Inuyasha grabbed Hojo roughly by the shoulder and spun him around so they were face to face. Hojo, being slightly shorter than the silver- haired hanyou, had to look up to see Inuyasha's angered expression. His ears back in anger, he folded his arms across his chest.
"Feh. What are you doing here?" Inuyasha sneered. Hojo continued to look politely confused.
"I came to give Kagome-chan a gift to help her get well," he said. Inuyasha snorted and turned away from the human boy, grabbing a hold of Kagome's arm and tugging her out the door.
"Come on, we're leaving." He said simply and started to walk back toward the well with his 'shard detector' in tow. However, she didn't go quietly.
"Ouch! Inuyasha, lemme go!" She demanded, trying vainly to pry his hand off her arm. "I'm not going anywhere with you right now and that's final! Hey- let GO!" she yelled. Surprisingly, Inuyasha released his iron- like grip and turned around to face her; both of them had already forgotten about Hojo, who stood at the sidelines, confusion and no little amount of worry etched across his features. Who was this strange silver-haired boy? Was he Kagome's fabled 'boyfriend'?
Thinking about it, he remembered overhearing Kagome's friends talking about her having a violent-tempered, jealous boyfriend. Hojo frowned in worry for his friend, turning his attention back to what was now a full-out shouting match between the two people in question.
"YOU'RE COMING BACK WITH ME NOW!" Inuyasha shouted, his amber eyes flashing.
"NO I'M NOT! I'M STAYING HERE FOR A FEW DAYS TO REST AND CATCH UP ON MY TESTS IN SCHOOL!" Kagome snapped back, just as loud.
"BITCH! THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT!" The hanyou snarled, reaching to once again grab Kagome's arm. However, Hojo intervened Shocked at this puny human's behavior, Inuyasha hesitated. "I think you should leave Kagome-chan alone right now," he said. "She obviously doesn't want to go with you. It might be better if you left." Hojo then turned to the shocked Kagome behind him and gently took her hand. "May I speak with you for a second?" Dumbly, she nodded and followed him out of ear shot of Inuyasha, who stood there seething.
* * * * *
"Kagome-chan, does that Inuyasha person always act like that to you?" Hojo questioned. Blinking in surprise, Kagome nodded slowly. "Well, yes, I suppose; Most of the time, at least. He can be really nice when he wants to be." "He calls you names and is always mean to you?" Hojo asked, just to make sure. His look of worry increased when she again nodded. "Hai, but he isn't truly a bad person. That was just his upbringing; it isn't his fault that he has such a vulgar mouth." she trailed off when Hojo suddenly took her hands in both of his own and looked into her dark eyes. "Kagome-chan, I think you should talk to someone about this guy," he started. Kagome looked both confused and weary. "What-?" "Just, listen, please?" He asked and then continued on. "It isn't healthy to be in an abusive relationship." "What?!" Kagome sputtered. "Relationship-?! INUYASHA?!" Hojo only shook his head and kept talking. "I know that you think it isn't his fault, being the way he is, but if he's hurting you, then-" "STOP it!" Kagome demanded suddenly, pulling away from him. "Inuyasha wouldn't hurt me! You have no idea what you're talking about!" she shouted, momentarily forgetting about said hanyou's excellent hearing, as well as the fact that he was standing only a few yards away, and coming closer. Inuyasha, having decided that Kagome and 'Homo' as he preferred to call him, had had enough private-talk-time, started toward the pair, determined to make the boy leave. That was when Kagome started shouting; something about relationships and. Inuyasha? He paused when he heard his name, watching as Kagome continued shouting and then pointed away from her shrine, obviously telling Hojo to leave. Smirking like the Chesire cat, Inuyasha walked up to Kagome, watching 'Homo' walk hesitantly away, shooting reproachful glances over his shoulder every now and then until he was completely out of sight. Still fuming, Kagome spun around and walked straight into Inuyasha's chest. Luckily, he caught her before she fell. However, instead of thanking him, she scowled. "You!" she shouted. "This is entirely your fault! Now Hojo thinks that we're- no, Inuyasha LET ME GO! SIT!" BAM! "Now he thinks that you're my boyfriend and that- SIT!" Inuyasha had started to get back up as the spell wore off. BAM! "-and that I'm crazy because you're supposedly abusive and- SIT!" BAM! "-and you're going to hurt me and now there are gonna be rumors- SIT!" BAM! "-all around school tomorrow! SIT!" Kagome added for good measure; Inuyasha had stopped trying to get back up after the second 'sit' and now was just laying in a twitching heap by Kagome's front door. With a satisfied 'humph!' she spun on her heel and stalked angrily inside. "..ow.." mumbled the twitching Inuyasha inaudibly into the pavement. ____________________ A/N: Sorry again that it took so long to update! Today I went swimming, and at the moment am half-blind before I was to lazy to hunt for my goggles. So if there are any spelling mistakes, blame it on the chlorine! ^_^;; Anyways, thanks for reading this and please, don't forget to R&R!!!!!!!
