Chapter 2: Ice Cream And Meetings
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome clutched her books against her chest as she walked down the hallway. The day was almost over. Just one more subject to go, and it was Inuyasha free. This put a smile on her face.
She entered he class, and sat down in the same seat she had been sitting in since the beginning of the year. She placed her feet on the basket under the desk in front of her as she took out her pen and book.
"Hey Kagome," came a voice from beside her.
She turned her head to see Kikyo beside her with a pleasant smile on her face. "Um, hey," she squeaked out.
"So. I was wondering if you'd like to hang out after school. I know Inuyasha is kind of mean to you, but I totally disagree with him about you. You seem cool to me," she said cheerfully.
'This is really weird,' Kagome thought to herself. 'Kikyo wanting to do something with me?'
"So, what do ya think?" Kikyo asked. "You don't have to be scared or anything. I won't bite you. I just want to get to know you better. After all, we have been classmates for about eight years now."
"Yeah," Kagome agreed. "Well, what would you like to do?"
"Oh, so you are going to come!" She pulled an uneasy Kagome into an embrace. "A bunch of my friends and I are going to the ice cream parlor after school. So I'll meet you after school, and we can drive over there. Alright?"
"Sure. Meet me in the parking lot."
"Okay."
With that, Kikyo left to go back to her desk.
Kagome smiled to herself. Who would have thought that she'd finally be making friends with the higher class students?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome and Kikyo entered the parlor, and walked over to a table where Inuyasha, Miroku, Naraku, and Kagura sat.
"Hey, guys," Kikyo said as she scooted Inuyasha over to make room for herself and Kagome.
Inuyasha eyed the girl that Kikyo had brought along. "What is that doing here?"
"Oh, shut up Inuyasha. She's with me." She turned to Kagome. "Sit down."
She complied as she sat down next to Kikyo in the booth.
A waiter came over. "May I take your order?"
"Chocolate milkshake please," Kagome answered.
"I'll just have water," Kikyo responded.
The others had already gotten their food.
"So," Kagura said while leaning over the table toward Kagome. "What did you say your name was again?"
"I'm Kagome."
"Kagome, huh?"
"Yes," she answered nervously.
Kagura narrowed her eyes. "I approve of her," she said as she sat back down.
"I know I sure do," Miroku said.
Kagome felt something on her hand. She turned to see Miroku with his hand on hers. "Kagome, will you do me the honor of baring my child?"
She snatched her hand away, and whacked him. "Hentai!"
Miroku fell over with swirly eyes. Kagome rubbed her hand. "Serves you right."
"Well, I guess I'll give you a try, wench." Inuyasha said with a smirk. "If Kikyo likes you, I guess I'll have to as well."
"Huh?" she asked stupidly.
Inuyasha sighed and rolled eyes. "You never will change, will you? I said I want to be your friend."
Kagome couldn't have been happier she was gaining all of these new friends.
"Here's your order," the waiter said as he handed the shake and water to Kikyo and Kagome.
Kagome took a sip of the creamy shake through her straw.
"Oh, my." Kikyo said with a hand over her mouth as she watched Kagome.
Kagome looked confused. "What is it?"
"It's just that you shouldn't drink something with all of those calories. We'll just have to do something about it, won't we?" she asked with an evil smirk. She picked up the milkshake.
"What are you doing?" Kagome questioned with her eyebrows raised.
Kikyo splashed it all over Kagome. Kagome's eyes widened as she looked at the hysterical girl who was responsible for it. The whole table was laughing with a smirking Kikyo in front of her. "Sorry about that," she said simply as she tossed the cup down. She soon joined her friends with laughter.
The whole restaurant was watching her. Kagome closed her eyes as tears fell down her face. She slammed her fists on the table as she got up, and ran out the door with tears streaming down her face.
"That was awesome," Inuyasha said.
"I thought you'd like that," Kikyo said as he pecked him on his lips.
However, Inuyasha didn't really feel too good about it. He kind of felt bad for her. As funny as it was, it was just cruel. But he had never cared about what had happened to Kagome before. So why now? He shrugged it off. "I knew that whole 'she's my friend routine' couldn't be serious," he said as he laughed harder.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome ran to her car partially blinded by her tears. "How could they do this to me? Why was I so stupid?" She sat down in her car. "I should have seen it coming. They would never would to be friends with me." She cried harder as she rested her head on the steering wheel.
She started the car as she wiped away her tears. She had finally made it home, and she opened the door to find her mother walking by with a smile on her face. She had a tray in her hands with some food and water on it. "Hello, dear." She eyed her daughter up and down. "What happened to you? You should clean yourself up." She walked away hummimg happily to herself.
'I wonder what she's so cheery about.' She followed her mother into the living room to see a man sitting on the couch. Her eyes widened with shock. "Dad?"
The man turned his head to look at her.
Her mother came and wrapped an arm around her. "Isn't it wonderful, Kagome? Daddy came home." With that, she walked into the other room.
No, it wasn't wonderful. It was horrible.
"Kagome, what the hell is the matter with you?" He stood up, walked over to her, and slapped her across the face.
She fell to the floor and held her hand against her cheek. "I don't know what you're talking about," she said with a shaky voice.
"You didn't pick up your brother from school, and I had to get him. He was all alone bawling on a bench. He thought we had left him."
Kagome had forgotten all about Sota. "I'm sorry. I just forgot."
"You forgot, huh?" He gripped the front of her shirt, and pulled her off of the floor.
"No. Please. I'm sorry," she said as tears fell again.
"Not as sorry as I'm going to be." He hit her face, and threw her to the ground. "That ought to knock some sense into you. Maybe you won't forget next time." He sat back down, and ate his meal. "Now get out of here," he said as he pointed toward the exit. "Go to your room or something. I don't want to see your face."
Kagome got up and ran to her room with tears falling the whole way. He was back, and things were just going to repeat themselves.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome had already dropped off Sota at school. He was ecstatic to have their father back. He hadn't wet his bed at all last night.
Kagome kept her eyes on the floor as she walked into the school. She didn't want anyone to see the large purple bruise on her face.
"Kagome, can I talk to you?"
"Huh?" she saw Inuyasha standing next to her. She sighed. "Why?"
"I just wanted to apologize," he answered.
"Whatever," she kept her head down and kept walking.
"Kagome, wait." He grabbed her shoulder and spun her around.
"Ow," she held her shoulder.
He lifted his eyebrows. "Oh, come on. That didn't hurt."
She still kept her face down. "Look at me," he said irritated. He lifted her chin to see her eyes filled with tears. "Kagome, I'm sorry about everything that happened yesterday." He looked at the bruise on her face, and his face turned to a concerned one. "What happened?"
"It's nothing," she said hoping he would accept that answer.
"It's not nothing." His eyes softened. "Kagome, what happened?"
'Why is he calling me by my name? And why does he care? He's probably gonna pour ice cream all over me or something immature like that.' "Inuyasha, get away from me. I know you are not the type of person to care what is going on in my life. So if you're going to pour cow vomit on me, go ahead and do it. Because nothing can make my day worse than it already is." She started crying harder. "You have no idea what I'm going through right now."
"I have no hidden motives," he said truthfully as he held out his hands on either side. "And if you tell me what you're going through, I'll do everything I can to help you."
She laughed a little. "That's funny considering just last night you were laughing at me because your girlfriend dumped ice cream down my shirt." She pushed past him. "So I don't know what you're up to, but get it out of your head right now." She walked off leaving him standing alone in the hallway.
She spotted exactly who she was looking for. "Sango!"
"Hey, Kagome. What's up?" She made a strange expression. "And what happened to your face?"
"That's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about."
"A bruise?"
Kagome sighed. "More like how I got the bruise."
"Well, how did you get it?"
"Sango," she said with a serious expression. "He's back."
"Who's back?"
"My Dad. He was a home when I came home last night." She paused. "That's why I have this." She lightly touched the spot on her cheek where the bruise laid.
"Whoa. He really came back after all of this time?"
"Yeah."
"How is everyone taking it?"
"Are you kidding? They're all jumping for joy."
Sango looked confused. "But why? Does your mom just not remember that you father took all of the money you had to buy drinks? And then come home and abuse his family?"
"She does know it, Sango," she said sadly. "She's just still so in love with him. She's trying to see past all of that...even though there's nothing else there."
"Show her your bruise so she can see exactly what kind of guy he is."
"She already knows exactly what kind of guy he is. He's hit her many times before. She just doesn't want to admit it to herself that he's not all she thinks he is."
"Well, I don't know what to tell you then."
Kagome sighed. "Yeah, neither do I."
