Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha
Chapter 10-Sorries By: KNE
***************************
"Just listen to me."
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha with her arms down at her sides. His face looked so serious she didn't feel like talking back like she usually did or at least throw a punch. Instead she turned her face and bit her tongue.
"Okay, quit with the act Kag," Inuyasha said, still looking at her with the golden eyes, and his hands still at her side. Kagome swallowed and then faced him. Their noses were practically touching.
"What act?" she spat. Inuyasha snorted and looked down at her clothes.
"This," he said, letting go of the wall and standing straight. He pointed at her hair, her clothes, and then around.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, Inu," Kagome said, raising her eyebrow and crossing her arms over her chest. Inuyasha shook his head and grabbed her shoulders.
"What the hell happened to you Kag?" he asked. Kagome snorted.
"What ever you're talking about, I don't understand. Now if you don't mind, I have some shopping to do." Kagome took a step away from him but, Inuyasha pushed her back against the wall.
"This is what I'm talking about. Kag. I know that shopping is the last thing you would do. I know that you don't care about clothes, hair, makeup, or all that shit that girls care about. What the hell happened to the Kag that came from Kyoto?" Inuyasha took a breath and looked at her.
"Well.four months can really change a person," Kagome pushed passed him and headed towards the plaza, but Inuyasha spun around and grabbed her arm.
"Well not you!" he yelled. Kagome ripped her arms away from him and glared at him.
"Look Inu, why should I listen to you? You have no right to yell at me and then expect me to forgive you just like that. If you think four months is all it takes to forgive a selfish little punk like you, than you're wrong."
"So you're mad because of Kikyou?" he asked.
"You should know," Kagome mumbled.
"Look, I said I was sorry," Inuyasha said.
"Well, sorry's not gonna work."
Look, I already told you but I dumped Kikyou, if it makes you any happier."
"I don't care, Inu. Leave me alone!"
"No!" Inuyasha pulled her closer and held onto her wrist. "Listen to me. I found out what Kikyou planned, and I dumped her. I mean c'mon, doesn't it mean anything when a person does something for the other person?"
"Inu. You just don't get it, do you?"
"What?"
"I'm grateful that you broke up with her, but the point was that you believed her. I mean I didn't even need to listen, I saw what happened. She played some kind of dirty trick so you would believe it was me, and you actually fell for it."
"Kag, I broke up with her and I regret that I yelled at you. I went through hell to get here to apologize, and you can't even listen to me!" Inuyasha yelled.
"YOU went through hell?" Kagome snorted. "What did you do, get into a fight with the limo driver who was suppose to drive you to the airport?" Kagome bit her lip and smiled. "You're gonna have to try much harder to make me believe you. You're just some dumb idiot who can't do shit, that's why you need me. Go back to Kyoto, there's nothing here for you."
The two stood staring at each other while Inuyasha let go of her hand. He laughed and than scratched his head. Kagome looked up at him confused as ever.
"You're right. There's nothing here for me. I guess what I came here for, turned out to be different than what I thought." He grinned at her and than looked around. He looked back down at her one last time and then pushed passed her, but found himself facing four girls.
Kagome sighed and turned around. This was by far one of the worst days for her. She gasped when she found Inuyasha still standing there being stared at by Yuka, Eri, Ayumi, and Ayame. Three of them were smiling devilishly, while Ayame stared in shock. Kagome rubbed the back of her neck and concentrated on the tile on the floor. So how was she going to explain to them now?
Inuyasha cleared his throat and walked right through them pushing them aside. Kagome looked up and watched as he disappeared down the escalator. Maybe she was being a little too hard on him; she did feel kind of bad of what she said.
It didn't take long for all the girls to surround her, giggling uncontrollably.
"Kagome, who in the world was he?" Eri said, grabbing her arm and shaking it. Yuka flipped her hair over her shoulders and glanced back at the escalator.
"Oh my god was he hot!!!!" Yuka grinned, her jaw dropping.
"Is he your boyfriend? What about Kouga? Are you cheating on Kouga?" Ayumi attacked her with questions.
"He's not my boyfriend, and so is Kouga..." Kagome sighed as the girls pulled her out.
"But that guy was cute! How much does he make a year?" Yuka asked, tilting her head to the side. Kagome's jaw dropped. Basically, according to these girls, the paycheck and looks were all that counted.
"I don't know!" For one she knew that Sesshomaru made million and billions of money a months, but Inuyasha as a chauffeur, she had no idea.
"Where did you meet him?" Ayumi asked.
"Can we drop the subject?" Kagome asked. The girls sighed.
"Fine fine, we understand if this is a secret relationship," they giggled. Kagome turned beet red.
"Nani!? Are you crazy! I thought I told you that he's not my boyfriend!"
"Sure, what ever you say, Kagome-Chan." They all turned except Ayame and walked off shopping. Kagome groaned and rolled her eyes.
"Kagome?" Ayame asked, tucking her reddish/brownish hair behind her ear.
"Yeah?" Kagome asked, looking at Ayame.
"Are you really cheating on Kouga?"
"No! I'm not even seeing Kouga. Why can't anyone understand that?"
"Oh.well, I figured that you and Kouga were together because every time there's a party or anything, you two show up together."
"As friends, Ayame, as friends. Why do you care so much about Kouga anyways?"
"I just don't want Kouga to get hurt, that's all. He's really nice and that's why I care." Kagome looked at her and nodded. She had to admit that Kouga was pretty nice, just a bit too nice.
"I'm not seeing Kouga, so maybe you two can hook up or something," Kagome said, making Ayame blush and turn her face.
"What are you talking about Kagome, I..."
"It's obvious you like the guy."
"No, he's just nice."
Ayame turned and ran off, still covering her face. Kagome laughed to herself, it was her turn to cover her face, and return to the boring shopping. Inuyasha was right, she did hate shopping. But it wasn't her fault that she had to.
She met the girls at the Tokyo Academy that she attended soon after she moved to Tokyo. The school was a private school for the wealthy kids, and now that she fell under that category, she was considered a rich kid.
Eri, Yuka, Ayumi and Ayame were the richest and most popular girls in the school. It was kind of weird, but the moment they found out who Kagome was they so called recruited her into their little foursome. Kagome could careless who she hung out with, they were all the same any ways. She was surprised that these girls could actually be best friends with Kikyou if they had met the girl.
All were beautiful and thought the world revolved around them, except Ayame. Ayame didn't even look like she was someone who belonged in a rich school. Kagome figured she was like Ayame. But it wasn't until Ayame was sick, and Kagome offered to bring her homework to her. It turned out Ayame wasn't the rich girl that Kagome had though, instead her mother owned a tofu shop and they lived upstairs. Ayame only got into Tokyo Academy because of her brains, which was good but hard for her in a way.
Ayame had begged and begged Kagome not to tell any of the girls about Ayame's real life. Kagome was quite surprised and kind of pissed off that Ayame was embarrassed to be herself, but then again how would she know, she was one of the richest girls in school. And she didn't have to worry when she lived in Kyoto, because lots of the people were rich (like Kikyou and Inuyasha), and she wasn't, but then again she knew that her father was Takeo Higurashi.
Ever since that little incident with Kikyou and Inuyasha, Kagome had tried her best to forget everything in Kyoto. But she couldn't. Especially about her friends, Sango and Shippo, and most of all.the one she wanted to forget, Inuyasha. For four months she had managed to learn a few things about having money.
Her father had scolded her hundreds of times to not befriend the servants or maids, but it was too hard. One time, Kagome even had them play baseball outside with her. Everything was fine until Kouga and her father showed up. Kagome was dirty and had her softball clothes on. They must have been surprised, and Kagome was sure that Kouga would have forgotten about her right there, but she was wrong. It seemed to make Kouga even more interested and she hated that.
But most of all, she missed how she use to be. She would love to take it all back, but it was hopeless. She missed playing baseball with the boy's baseball team everyday, and being the captain of the girl's softball. She missed her friends and she missed being just herself. In Tokyo, she was sick of wearing dresses and always being so perfect and neat. But her father insisted that she lived the way she was supposed to. The story behind Kagome was pretty complicated.
When Kagome was two her mother died and she was left with her father. But, at that time her father was at the peak of success in his business and didn't have time to take care of his only daughter. So what happened? Kagome was shipped off to Kyoto to live with her mother's sister. Her aunty. The only thing she brought was a suitcase filled with dresses and her kitty Buyo. And it wasn't until a week later, Buyo had scrambled up a tree and Kagome was sitting under a tree crying her eyes out.
Kagome smiled to herself , and that was when she met the selfish and idiotic stud. Her father and she never really had a close father/daughter relationship. He always too busy and he still is too busy. Kagome lowered her head, she was sick and tired of living here, but she also didn't know what to do with Inuyasha. In a way, her life had begun to be a little more interesting since she found out Inuyasha was here.
"Kagome!" Eri shouted, waving for Kagome. Kagome groaned and dragged her feet over to the girls.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha tossed his duffle onto the cot and sighed. He went through all his laundry and tossed it in. Who cared about his clothes getting wrinkly he just either had to get out of here or die here. What was the point in staying Tokyo? Kagome, herself had told him that he was a dumb idiot who couldn't do shit.
Inuyasha hated to admit it, but she was right. For seventeen years he hadn't cared or done anything for Kagome, and now when he did cared, she didn't. It was pathetic, he was pathetic. All he wanted to do right now was get out of here. He was sick of driving for someone for no god damn reason at all. Inuyasha tossed the bag off the cot and fell down on it hard. Tomorrow he was leaving for good.
So his whole summer was ruined because of one girl. Inuyasha sighed and covered his eyes with his arm. Life sucked, and now Sesshomaru and Shippo were probably going to make fun of him for the rest of his life. So what was he going to now? Four months ago was probably the last time he would ever see his Kagome, not the new Kagome but his old tomboy Kagome, again.
If he could probably find a way to get back home, then he would leave tomorrow, unless he took another bus. There was no way he could afford a plane ticket. He was broke, and wasn't even sure if his paycheck so far would afford him to get a bus ticket, and every thing else.
This wasn't suppose to happen, he was supposed to bring Kagome back. Sango and Shippo would be disappointed, and Inuyasha would probably hate himself for the rest of his life.
"Fucked up life." Inuyasha muttered. If Kagome only cared about money and crap like Kouga, then Inuyasha can show up in expensive clothes and in a limo and a check with over a million dollars to bring her home. But no, he chose not too, because Kagome already knew that he Inuyasha Takashi. Inuyasha closed his eyes and tried to remember something that he did for Kagome that was nice, but not one thing really did come to his mind.'
There was a time when Inuyasha was off traveling in Europe for the summer, and Kagome was getting ready for her All-star championship game. He remembered that before he left, he made a promise to her that he would make it to watch her play. It turned out the plane he was taking back to Kyoto was delayed by a few hours. He heard Kagome played horrible, even though she was the best player on the team, because everyone said she kept looking at the bleachers for someone. When Inuyasha did make it, there were three innings to go, and he could tell Kagome was pretty much out of it. So he did what a best friend would do. He climbed up the fence and started screaming her name and cheering for to catch her attention. After that, the girl's softball team caught up and beat their rivals 15-14. It was a close one but they one because of Kagome. Inuyasha still had a picture, somewhere in his room of her on his shoulders holding a trophy.
Maybe that was something that he did for her. But then again, right after the game she beat him up for being late and making her feel like an idiot and then him making the comment that he tried to miss the game on purpose. She was right, he was an idiot. A stupid useless piece of shit. Miroku walked into the room, hyper and happy as usual. His walk always had a bounce to it.
"Yo! Dude, wanna go to a dance club or something?" Miroku asked changing his white shirt into a black. Inuyasha's answer was a groan.
"Why is it that every time I talk to you, you always seem depressed?"
"That's cuz I always am depressed, at least in Tokyo I'm depressed."
"That's why going to a club with lots of dancing girls, will do well for you," Miroku grinned.
"I don't think so."
"Then we'll go out for something to eat, to get your mind off whatever it is." Inuyasha looked up at the happy boy and grinned.
"Sure why not," he had to do something, or the image of a girl would stay in his mind.
"Okay, how about a sushi house or something. I love sushi," Miroku said.
"I prefer Ramen."
"Rock, paper, scissors then." Miroku said holding out his hand. Inuyasha laughed. The two played their little games, best of the three and then decided on Ramen.
"Hand me my jacket," Inuyasha said, pointing at his thin jacket thrown over the chair. Miroku made his way over to the jacket and picked it up and tossed it to Inuyasha. His wallet fell out, along with a picture of Inuyasha and his friends in it. Miroku bent down to pick the wallet and picture out and gasped.
"Dude! How's this hot babe?" Miroku asked, pointing at Sango, smiling. Inuyasha looked up.
"Oh, that's a friend of mine. Sango. She lives back in Kyoto!"
"Damn you have one hot friend! You have to introduce me to her sometimes. I think its love!" Miroku said, practically drooling. Miroku looked back down at the picture.
"Hey..who's that other chick?" he squint his eyes and looked closer. Inuyasha's eyes widened before he knew what he was doing, and snatched the picture from Miroku's hand.
"That looks a lot like that girl that Kouga likes. What's her name again? Kagome Higurashi?" Inuyasha stuffed the picture back in his wallet and then pushed passed Miroku. "Wait a minute!" Miroku yelled.
"What?"
"Four months ago, was when I began actually driving Kouga and Miss. Higurashi around. I heard that she came from Kyoto or something.." Kouga stopped talking and his eyes widened.
"Whoa! So you mean..the friend that you were talking about..is....is she..Kagome Higurashi?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha cleared his throat.
"Yeah, so what?" Miroku pointed his finger at Inuyasha and laughed.
"So this whole time, you were so called working; you've actually been seeing her?" Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"Not really."
"Dude! Does Kouga know?"
"Know what?"
"That you and Kagome-sama know each other? That you two are best friends or something?"
"No."
"Damn!" Miroku was now on the floor rolling around like a complete idiot. Was there really a point to this? "How would our boss react when he finds out that his girl is in love with his chauffeur!!!?" Miroku continued to laugh leaving Inuyasha completely blank.
"What do you mean?"
"Face it, Inuyasha. You're in love with this Kagome girl. I mean if you weren't, why would you be here in the first place. Cuz you can't live without her! And all this time I thought you were depressed because you were just that kind of person, but now I know why!! Cuz you freaking see her almost everyday. Jealous, man, Jealous!!"
"That's not true!"
"Oh yeah, then what is? Yeah, she's your friend at first, but I can tell by the picture that she was a completely different girl before she came here. Face it, brother. YOU'RE IN LOVE!!!!!!!!"
"Shut up before I smack you," Inuyasha said holding up a fist.
"And you're abusive every time I talk about this, so you obviously are. Why don't you go and tell her that you love her, already?"
"I can't! Cuz I don't love her! I've known her since she couldn't even talk right, so there's no way I would ever have feelings for her, and why am I even having this conversation with you. You don't even know her!!"
"I know that she's one hot babe."
"Miroku!!!!!!!!
*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*
Kagome ran as fast as she could into her room and hopped on to the bed, and grabbing her phone at the same time. If Sango wasn't going to tell her about Inuyasha then, she was going to ask Shippo. Hopefully Shippo would help. She dialed Shippo's number and put the phone to her ear, bobbing her knee up and down.
"Hello?" Shippo answered.
"Shippo! It's me Kagome." Kagome heard Shippo cheer and jump up and down.
"Hey Kagome! You haven't called me in ages!"
"Yeah I know. So how's everyone doing?"
"Just dandy and you?"
"God its hell here." Both Shippo and Kagome laughed. "Um.Shippo, can I ask you a question?" Kagome asked, playing with the thread on her pillow.
"Sure, you need counseling just like Inuyasha, right?" Shippo asked. Kagome giggled.
"Speaking of the devil, Sango mentioned something about Inu working his ass off to get here, is that true?" Shippo laughed.
"Oh yeah."Kagome's face went from happy to serious. Her head perked up and her finger was pulled away from the thread.
"What? What did he do?"
"Well, he tried to make an attempt to go to Tokyo soon after he found out you left, but unfortunately the boy did not have any cash."
"What are you talking about Shippo; Sesshomaru has a lot of money."
"Sesshomaru has a lot of money, not Inuyasha. So, Inuyasha decided to ask his dear brother for help."
"Really? Inuyasha asked Sesshomaru for help. That's something new."
"That's not even the start of it. Sesshomaru, like usual rejected Inuyasha, and said no. Then Inuyasha went off on his temper tantrum so Sesshomaru decided to make a deal with him."
"What kind of deal?"
"The deal was to get passing grades for the school year.."
"HOLY SHIT!!!THAT WAS THE DEAL!!!"
"Yup."
"But does he even know how bad Inu is in school?"
"Yup. And Inuyasha reacted the same way, but that was the only way. If he passed then Sesshomaru would send him to Tokyo." Kagome bit her lip and her head hung low.
"So he did it?"
"He spent every waking moment studying after you left. He didn't even go to parties, he broke up with Kikyou when he found out what she did to you, and he basically turned into some bookworm."
"You mean Inu, actually studied?"
"Yup, and he hated it. He was always tired, but he showed up to school early and stayed late to catch up on work. He didn't even fail a test, but passed it with a C or higher." Kagome suddenly felt her heart twinge.
Inuyasha had actually studied for her? Kagome almost dropped the phone thinking about it. So Inuyasha did tell the truth about him working his ass off to get to Tokyo, and she didn't even listen.
"Kagome, are you there?" Kagome cleared her throat.
"Yeah, I'm here," Kagome managed. She had the urge to cry for Inuyasha and herself.
"Well, that's half of it." Kagome raised her head and fell back onto the pillow. There was more? She was already feeling really bad about it.
"When Inuyasha showed up in Tokyo, the first thing he did was find you. Well he did, and insisted that he had to see you, to the security guards. But, when your security guards called him a reported and told him to get lost, him and his short temper made him punch one of them."
"NANI?!" Kagome brought a hand to her forehead.
"They called the police on him and dragged him to the station.."
"So that incident that one night..that was Inu?"
"I bet. But, when Sesshomaru did let him out, Inuyasha was pretty much out of cash. Sesshomaru refused to pay, so he was a penniless hobo on the streets."
"Inuyasha?"
"So the only choice he had was the one Sesshomaru gave him. Get a job, and so..Inuyasha got a job as a driver." Kagome moaned and rolled over onto her stomach. Inuyasha did all that just to see her? She felt guilty, very guilty for yelling at him and thinking he was just a lazy pig.
"I'm so stupid!" Kagome banged her head on the pillow. "Why am I such a clueless freak?" She sat up. "He tried to tell me, but I just put a wall in my mind and I didn't register a thing he said!!!"
"Kagome.are you talking to me, or are you talking to yourself?"
"Both! I need to talk to Inu. Where can I find him?"
"He's at some guy's place that he works for. That's all I know. Sango doesn't tell me much." Kagome fell back onto the bed. She couldn't leave now, it was close to midnight and there was no way she would be able to get in, with all of Kouga's security. And she couldn't just march over there. Kouga would be kind of suspicious seeing that she went to visit his driver and not him. She would just have to do it tomorrow. That meant she had to see Kouga.
"Shippo, I have to go right now. I'll call you later," she said quickly.
"Good night!" There was a click and then the line was gone. Kagome again dialed Kouga's number. The voice of a butler answered.
"Hi, is Kouga home?"
"May I ask who's speaking?"
"Um.Kagome Higurashi." Kagome said quickly.
"Oh, hello Miss. I will get the master right away." It took a while for Kouga to answer.
"Kagome! What a surprise! How can I help you?"
"Let's do something tomorrow, morning." Kagome said.
"Uh..sure! I'm happy that you called!" Kouga said. "Should I pick you up? Or."
"Yes, can you pick me up around seven then?"
"Sure."
"That's great. See you!" Kagome hung up and tossed the phone aside. She had to talk to Inuyasha. Inuyasha had driven them everywhere so far, so she was sure he would drive them tomorrow. Kagome held tightly onto the pillow and looked up at the ceiling. Tomorrow she would surely have to apologize to Inuyasha.
To think that Inuyasha went through all of that just to see her. Kagome was surprised as ever. And here she thought that Inuyasha didn't even care about her, and just needed her as a counselor or someone to help him with his stupid problems. Kagome bit her lip and smiled. When she had found out everything turned into a bright light. She didn't know if it was happiness or guiltiness. She was just surprised about everything. To think Inuyasha actually had a soft hard. And he did for her...he chose her over Kikyou.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So you're really going?" Miroku asked, as Inuyasha threw a red shirt over his jeans.
"Yup. Tokyo turned out different then what I thought." Inuyasha picked up his navy blue baseball hat and put it over his head.
"Either it was that, or you just couldn't get through that Kagome girl's head."
"Whatever." Inuyasha mumbled and then threw his bag over his shoulder.
"So how're you getting home?"
"I'll find a way." Inuyasha said, even though he knew he would have his driver drive him home. He and Miroku shook hands and then Miroku threw his arms around Inuyasha.
"Dude, what the hell you are doing?!" Inuyasha yelled backing away.
"I'm gonna miss you man! I'm gonna be the only guy again here!" Miroku faked crying. Inuyasha laughed and pushed his friend off.
"You know you like it!" Miroku sighed.
"Did you talk to Kouga about quitting?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"It's not like he cares anyways. I don't have time to let him know."
"You can let him know, when he actually figures out that the only one driving him for a whole year was you." Miroku let out a laugh and scratched the back of his neck.
"The only problem is I won't be able to hang out at the club as much now."
"That's your lost." The two looked at each other and smirked.
"I'll see you then." Inuyasha turned around and headed towards the front gate. His limo was waiting for him, and if he could get in without being caught then that would be okay. He hurried inside the car, as the driver shut the door.
They were driving almost twenty minutes when a thought hit his head.
"Aww shit! I promised Sango and Shippo a souvenir!!!" The driver looked at him strangely as waiting for a queue to head towards the mall. "Head towards the mall!" Inuyasha said. The driver nodded and turned the car.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome bit her lip as she saw the limo approaching her home. Today she wore a red T-shirt with just jeans. Her hair was in braided pigtails and she wanted to be herself as much as possible. She was getting excited, she was going to make everything clear for Inuyasha that she knew what happened. The car stopped and she hurried over to it. She could see Kouga inside but she was only worried about one thing. The chauffeur got out of the car and Kagome smiled. But then her expression changed.
The driver was not Inuyasha. Her eyes and the new driver's eyes held in lock for a minute and then he opened the door. She bit her lip and got into the car.
"So where do you want to go?"
"Um."
"How about the mall?!" Kouga asked. "I'll buy you what ever you want."
"Sure." Kagome trailed off. How come Inuyasha wasn't driving today? The time when she actually wanted Inuyasha around, he wasn't there, but when she didn't even want to see his face, he was always right in front of her. Why was Kami so unfair?
"Miroku, drive us to the mall," Kouga said. Miroku nodded and began driving.
Once they were at the mall Miroku opened the door and let the two out. Just as he reached for Kagome's hand he brought his mouth close to her ear.
"If you're looking for him, he left for home today." he whispered quickly. Kagome's eyes widened and then her hands fell to her side. So this guy is a friend of Inuyasha? Kagome looked at him with big eyes and then the man nodded.
"Are you ready?" Kouga asked/ Kagome looked at him and then nodded. Inuyasha was gone; he left for Kyoto already, because she yelled at him.
"You...baka, you're tougher than that!" Kagome whispered. She slowly dragged herself inside the mall with Kouga.
She couldn't believe it. The day she wanted to talk to him he was leaving for Kyoto. He was probably very mad at her too. She was stupid to know how much he really did for her. Kagome could feel the tears coming to her eyes just thinking about it.
"Kagome are you alright?" Kouga asked, looking at her flushed face.
"Uh.yeah. Allergies, I need to go to the bathroom." Kagome said turning around while her braids hit her face. She ran as fast as she could towards the bathroom and froze. There he was, standing right at a store looking up at the name of the store.
Inuyasha hadn't left yet? What was he still doing here? Kagome couldn't help but smile and running towards him.
"Inu!" she yelled at the top of her lung. Some of the costumers even turned to look at the girl who was running full speed in her sneakers.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha turned around and his eyes widened when he saw who was yelling his name. There was only one person who called him 'Inu'. Kagome was sprinting towards him and then halted right in front of him.
"Kag/" Inuyasha found himself saying.
"What are you still doing here?" Kagome asked, panting and then crouching down and putting her hands on her knees. Inuyasha glared down at her.
"What, I wasn't following you this time; I didn't even know you would be here." Inuyasha said. "I was getting some stuff for Shippo and Sango."
"Inu.."
"If you have a problem with me here, I'll let you know that I'm leaving, so you don't have to worry any more about me bothering you."
"Inu.stop fucking talking, and listen to me! I was mad at you because."
"I don't want to listen to your shit anymore. I know I'm useless, you don't have to tell me again!" Inuyasha shouted. He turned around and started walking away.
"Inu!" Kagome shouted. She ran after him and grabbed his arm. "Inu, I've listen to you plenty of times, now listen to me!" she yelled without even looking at her, Inuyasha slapped her arm away and walked even faster.
"I'm not gonna listen to your criticism any more Kag, leave me the hell alone!!!!!!!!!" he yelled, still walking and not looking at Kagome chasing after him. He broke into a run and Kagome followed.
"Inu!" she yelled trying to reach for his arm again but he pulled it away. And then suddenly he felt two arms wrap around his stomach. His eyes widened and he slowed down as Kagome and he stood in the middle of the mall, her hugging him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome squeezed her eyes shut as she held on tightly, not letting go. She could smell the familiar scent that she had always smelled on Inuyasha.
"Don't go." she said. Her cheek was resting on his back as she hugged tighter. Inuyasha was probably in some sort of shock because he didn't make a sound.
"If you leave, there would be no reason for me to stay happy. The only reason why my life has been better in the past four months is because of your presence here." There was still no answer from him.
"I know about what you did. The deal with Sesshomaru and all. I can't believe you did all that for me. I'm sorry that I didn't hear you out, I'm sorry Inu. But if you leave, I don't know what I will do. Don't go.please." She felt Inuyasha shift and then his head lowered.
"Kag." he said quietly.
"Yeah?"
"I can't breathe."
Kagome's eyes widened and she let go suddenly. She blushed and tucked some loose strands of hair behind her ear. It just occurred to her that they must of looked really silly standing in front everyone in that position. Inuyasha turned around and looked at her.
"How did you find out?"
"Shippo told me."
"If he made it sound really good, then he was probably exaggerating and crap."
"What was your final grade?" Kagome asked.
"C's...I know it's not that good, but it was the best I could."
"It's great. I'm really proud of you!" Kagome said throwing her arms up and then threw them around Inuyasha's neck. Inuyasha stumbled backwards in surprised and almost fell into the fountain.
"Kag.Kag...c'mon not here! It's gonna look funny!" Kagome giggled and ten pulled away.
"So are you gonna leave?" she asked. Inu looked up and then making a sucking sound.
"Why should I?"
"Inu.please?" Inuyasha laughed and pulled his cap down harder on his head.
"I'll see." Kag smiled and prepared to hug him again but Inuyasha backed away.
"Yes!" she yelled, knowing that he was staying for sure.
"So how did you know I was here?" Inuyasha asked.
"I didn't! I'm here with Kouga, cuz I wanted to talk to you, but you didn't drive. Some Miroku guy is."
"It's a good thing I didn't actually quit. I can get my job back." Kagome smiled and bit her lip. She never felt so good to be by Inuyasha's side in such a long time.

REVIEW REIVIEW REVIEW!! It took such a long time to do this chapter for some reason. Sorry, for taking such a while. Please forgive me. Well now that the two are friends again, it's time for some love. And to answer some questions:
Kagome is an only child, so Souta's not in this fic. The story only revolves mostly around Inu and Kag. It's supposed to be only about them. Also, in the story.I've mentioned that Kagome's mom died, so that' why she lives with her aunt.
I also decided that Shippo would be the one to tell Kagome about Inuyasha and not Inuyasha tell her, because if Inu told her, it would be like bragging, kind of. And you would think that Inuyasha is conceited and someone who brags. Kagome finding out from someone else would be more of a surprise and she would actually believe, cuz at the time she was mad at Inu (and wouldn't believe him). So I hope you guys are okay with that.
If you have any other questions please ask! And if you have any ideas, please give. If you want to email me, review first and then I'll email you back. I hope you enjoy the story so far. Oh, and another thing. It's gonna be really hard to update now due to some stuff. But I will try my hardest!! :0) ENJOY and REVIEW!!!
HAVE A FUN SUMMER!
Chapter 10-Sorries By: KNE
***************************
"Just listen to me."
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha with her arms down at her sides. His face looked so serious she didn't feel like talking back like she usually did or at least throw a punch. Instead she turned her face and bit her tongue.
"Okay, quit with the act Kag," Inuyasha said, still looking at her with the golden eyes, and his hands still at her side. Kagome swallowed and then faced him. Their noses were practically touching.
"What act?" she spat. Inuyasha snorted and looked down at her clothes.
"This," he said, letting go of the wall and standing straight. He pointed at her hair, her clothes, and then around.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, Inu," Kagome said, raising her eyebrow and crossing her arms over her chest. Inuyasha shook his head and grabbed her shoulders.
"What the hell happened to you Kag?" he asked. Kagome snorted.
"What ever you're talking about, I don't understand. Now if you don't mind, I have some shopping to do." Kagome took a step away from him but, Inuyasha pushed her back against the wall.
"This is what I'm talking about. Kag. I know that shopping is the last thing you would do. I know that you don't care about clothes, hair, makeup, or all that shit that girls care about. What the hell happened to the Kag that came from Kyoto?" Inuyasha took a breath and looked at her.
"Well.four months can really change a person," Kagome pushed passed him and headed towards the plaza, but Inuyasha spun around and grabbed her arm.
"Well not you!" he yelled. Kagome ripped her arms away from him and glared at him.
"Look Inu, why should I listen to you? You have no right to yell at me and then expect me to forgive you just like that. If you think four months is all it takes to forgive a selfish little punk like you, than you're wrong."
"So you're mad because of Kikyou?" he asked.
"You should know," Kagome mumbled.
"Look, I said I was sorry," Inuyasha said.
"Well, sorry's not gonna work."
Look, I already told you but I dumped Kikyou, if it makes you any happier."
"I don't care, Inu. Leave me alone!"
"No!" Inuyasha pulled her closer and held onto her wrist. "Listen to me. I found out what Kikyou planned, and I dumped her. I mean c'mon, doesn't it mean anything when a person does something for the other person?"
"Inu. You just don't get it, do you?"
"What?"
"I'm grateful that you broke up with her, but the point was that you believed her. I mean I didn't even need to listen, I saw what happened. She played some kind of dirty trick so you would believe it was me, and you actually fell for it."
"Kag, I broke up with her and I regret that I yelled at you. I went through hell to get here to apologize, and you can't even listen to me!" Inuyasha yelled.
"YOU went through hell?" Kagome snorted. "What did you do, get into a fight with the limo driver who was suppose to drive you to the airport?" Kagome bit her lip and smiled. "You're gonna have to try much harder to make me believe you. You're just some dumb idiot who can't do shit, that's why you need me. Go back to Kyoto, there's nothing here for you."
The two stood staring at each other while Inuyasha let go of her hand. He laughed and than scratched his head. Kagome looked up at him confused as ever.
"You're right. There's nothing here for me. I guess what I came here for, turned out to be different than what I thought." He grinned at her and than looked around. He looked back down at her one last time and then pushed passed her, but found himself facing four girls.
Kagome sighed and turned around. This was by far one of the worst days for her. She gasped when she found Inuyasha still standing there being stared at by Yuka, Eri, Ayumi, and Ayame. Three of them were smiling devilishly, while Ayame stared in shock. Kagome rubbed the back of her neck and concentrated on the tile on the floor. So how was she going to explain to them now?
Inuyasha cleared his throat and walked right through them pushing them aside. Kagome looked up and watched as he disappeared down the escalator. Maybe she was being a little too hard on him; she did feel kind of bad of what she said.
It didn't take long for all the girls to surround her, giggling uncontrollably.
"Kagome, who in the world was he?" Eri said, grabbing her arm and shaking it. Yuka flipped her hair over her shoulders and glanced back at the escalator.
"Oh my god was he hot!!!!" Yuka grinned, her jaw dropping.
"Is he your boyfriend? What about Kouga? Are you cheating on Kouga?" Ayumi attacked her with questions.
"He's not my boyfriend, and so is Kouga..." Kagome sighed as the girls pulled her out.
"But that guy was cute! How much does he make a year?" Yuka asked, tilting her head to the side. Kagome's jaw dropped. Basically, according to these girls, the paycheck and looks were all that counted.
"I don't know!" For one she knew that Sesshomaru made million and billions of money a months, but Inuyasha as a chauffeur, she had no idea.
"Where did you meet him?" Ayumi asked.
"Can we drop the subject?" Kagome asked. The girls sighed.
"Fine fine, we understand if this is a secret relationship," they giggled. Kagome turned beet red.
"Nani!? Are you crazy! I thought I told you that he's not my boyfriend!"
"Sure, what ever you say, Kagome-Chan." They all turned except Ayame and walked off shopping. Kagome groaned and rolled her eyes.
"Kagome?" Ayame asked, tucking her reddish/brownish hair behind her ear.
"Yeah?" Kagome asked, looking at Ayame.
"Are you really cheating on Kouga?"
"No! I'm not even seeing Kouga. Why can't anyone understand that?"
"Oh.well, I figured that you and Kouga were together because every time there's a party or anything, you two show up together."
"As friends, Ayame, as friends. Why do you care so much about Kouga anyways?"
"I just don't want Kouga to get hurt, that's all. He's really nice and that's why I care." Kagome looked at her and nodded. She had to admit that Kouga was pretty nice, just a bit too nice.
"I'm not seeing Kouga, so maybe you two can hook up or something," Kagome said, making Ayame blush and turn her face.
"What are you talking about Kagome, I..."
"It's obvious you like the guy."
"No, he's just nice."
Ayame turned and ran off, still covering her face. Kagome laughed to herself, it was her turn to cover her face, and return to the boring shopping. Inuyasha was right, she did hate shopping. But it wasn't her fault that she had to.
She met the girls at the Tokyo Academy that she attended soon after she moved to Tokyo. The school was a private school for the wealthy kids, and now that she fell under that category, she was considered a rich kid.
Eri, Yuka, Ayumi and Ayame were the richest and most popular girls in the school. It was kind of weird, but the moment they found out who Kagome was they so called recruited her into their little foursome. Kagome could careless who she hung out with, they were all the same any ways. She was surprised that these girls could actually be best friends with Kikyou if they had met the girl.
All were beautiful and thought the world revolved around them, except Ayame. Ayame didn't even look like she was someone who belonged in a rich school. Kagome figured she was like Ayame. But it wasn't until Ayame was sick, and Kagome offered to bring her homework to her. It turned out Ayame wasn't the rich girl that Kagome had though, instead her mother owned a tofu shop and they lived upstairs. Ayame only got into Tokyo Academy because of her brains, which was good but hard for her in a way.
Ayame had begged and begged Kagome not to tell any of the girls about Ayame's real life. Kagome was quite surprised and kind of pissed off that Ayame was embarrassed to be herself, but then again how would she know, she was one of the richest girls in school. And she didn't have to worry when she lived in Kyoto, because lots of the people were rich (like Kikyou and Inuyasha), and she wasn't, but then again she knew that her father was Takeo Higurashi.
Ever since that little incident with Kikyou and Inuyasha, Kagome had tried her best to forget everything in Kyoto. But she couldn't. Especially about her friends, Sango and Shippo, and most of all.the one she wanted to forget, Inuyasha. For four months she had managed to learn a few things about having money.
Her father had scolded her hundreds of times to not befriend the servants or maids, but it was too hard. One time, Kagome even had them play baseball outside with her. Everything was fine until Kouga and her father showed up. Kagome was dirty and had her softball clothes on. They must have been surprised, and Kagome was sure that Kouga would have forgotten about her right there, but she was wrong. It seemed to make Kouga even more interested and she hated that.
But most of all, she missed how she use to be. She would love to take it all back, but it was hopeless. She missed playing baseball with the boy's baseball team everyday, and being the captain of the girl's softball. She missed her friends and she missed being just herself. In Tokyo, she was sick of wearing dresses and always being so perfect and neat. But her father insisted that she lived the way she was supposed to. The story behind Kagome was pretty complicated.
When Kagome was two her mother died and she was left with her father. But, at that time her father was at the peak of success in his business and didn't have time to take care of his only daughter. So what happened? Kagome was shipped off to Kyoto to live with her mother's sister. Her aunty. The only thing she brought was a suitcase filled with dresses and her kitty Buyo. And it wasn't until a week later, Buyo had scrambled up a tree and Kagome was sitting under a tree crying her eyes out.
Kagome smiled to herself , and that was when she met the selfish and idiotic stud. Her father and she never really had a close father/daughter relationship. He always too busy and he still is too busy. Kagome lowered her head, she was sick and tired of living here, but she also didn't know what to do with Inuyasha. In a way, her life had begun to be a little more interesting since she found out Inuyasha was here.
"Kagome!" Eri shouted, waving for Kagome. Kagome groaned and dragged her feet over to the girls.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha tossed his duffle onto the cot and sighed. He went through all his laundry and tossed it in. Who cared about his clothes getting wrinkly he just either had to get out of here or die here. What was the point in staying Tokyo? Kagome, herself had told him that he was a dumb idiot who couldn't do shit.
Inuyasha hated to admit it, but she was right. For seventeen years he hadn't cared or done anything for Kagome, and now when he did cared, she didn't. It was pathetic, he was pathetic. All he wanted to do right now was get out of here. He was sick of driving for someone for no god damn reason at all. Inuyasha tossed the bag off the cot and fell down on it hard. Tomorrow he was leaving for good.
So his whole summer was ruined because of one girl. Inuyasha sighed and covered his eyes with his arm. Life sucked, and now Sesshomaru and Shippo were probably going to make fun of him for the rest of his life. So what was he going to now? Four months ago was probably the last time he would ever see his Kagome, not the new Kagome but his old tomboy Kagome, again.
If he could probably find a way to get back home, then he would leave tomorrow, unless he took another bus. There was no way he could afford a plane ticket. He was broke, and wasn't even sure if his paycheck so far would afford him to get a bus ticket, and every thing else.
This wasn't suppose to happen, he was supposed to bring Kagome back. Sango and Shippo would be disappointed, and Inuyasha would probably hate himself for the rest of his life.
"Fucked up life." Inuyasha muttered. If Kagome only cared about money and crap like Kouga, then Inuyasha can show up in expensive clothes and in a limo and a check with over a million dollars to bring her home. But no, he chose not too, because Kagome already knew that he Inuyasha Takashi. Inuyasha closed his eyes and tried to remember something that he did for Kagome that was nice, but not one thing really did come to his mind.'
There was a time when Inuyasha was off traveling in Europe for the summer, and Kagome was getting ready for her All-star championship game. He remembered that before he left, he made a promise to her that he would make it to watch her play. It turned out the plane he was taking back to Kyoto was delayed by a few hours. He heard Kagome played horrible, even though she was the best player on the team, because everyone said she kept looking at the bleachers for someone. When Inuyasha did make it, there were three innings to go, and he could tell Kagome was pretty much out of it. So he did what a best friend would do. He climbed up the fence and started screaming her name and cheering for to catch her attention. After that, the girl's softball team caught up and beat their rivals 15-14. It was a close one but they one because of Kagome. Inuyasha still had a picture, somewhere in his room of her on his shoulders holding a trophy.
Maybe that was something that he did for her. But then again, right after the game she beat him up for being late and making her feel like an idiot and then him making the comment that he tried to miss the game on purpose. She was right, he was an idiot. A stupid useless piece of shit. Miroku walked into the room, hyper and happy as usual. His walk always had a bounce to it.
"Yo! Dude, wanna go to a dance club or something?" Miroku asked changing his white shirt into a black. Inuyasha's answer was a groan.
"Why is it that every time I talk to you, you always seem depressed?"
"That's cuz I always am depressed, at least in Tokyo I'm depressed."
"That's why going to a club with lots of dancing girls, will do well for you," Miroku grinned.
"I don't think so."
"Then we'll go out for something to eat, to get your mind off whatever it is." Inuyasha looked up at the happy boy and grinned.
"Sure why not," he had to do something, or the image of a girl would stay in his mind.
"Okay, how about a sushi house or something. I love sushi," Miroku said.
"I prefer Ramen."
"Rock, paper, scissors then." Miroku said holding out his hand. Inuyasha laughed. The two played their little games, best of the three and then decided on Ramen.
"Hand me my jacket," Inuyasha said, pointing at his thin jacket thrown over the chair. Miroku made his way over to the jacket and picked it up and tossed it to Inuyasha. His wallet fell out, along with a picture of Inuyasha and his friends in it. Miroku bent down to pick the wallet and picture out and gasped.
"Dude! How's this hot babe?" Miroku asked, pointing at Sango, smiling. Inuyasha looked up.
"Oh, that's a friend of mine. Sango. She lives back in Kyoto!"
"Damn you have one hot friend! You have to introduce me to her sometimes. I think its love!" Miroku said, practically drooling. Miroku looked back down at the picture.
"Hey..who's that other chick?" he squint his eyes and looked closer. Inuyasha's eyes widened before he knew what he was doing, and snatched the picture from Miroku's hand.
"That looks a lot like that girl that Kouga likes. What's her name again? Kagome Higurashi?" Inuyasha stuffed the picture back in his wallet and then pushed passed Miroku. "Wait a minute!" Miroku yelled.
"What?"
"Four months ago, was when I began actually driving Kouga and Miss. Higurashi around. I heard that she came from Kyoto or something.." Kouga stopped talking and his eyes widened.
"Whoa! So you mean..the friend that you were talking about..is....is she..Kagome Higurashi?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha cleared his throat.
"Yeah, so what?" Miroku pointed his finger at Inuyasha and laughed.
"So this whole time, you were so called working; you've actually been seeing her?" Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"Not really."
"Dude! Does Kouga know?"
"Know what?"
"That you and Kagome-sama know each other? That you two are best friends or something?"
"No."
"Damn!" Miroku was now on the floor rolling around like a complete idiot. Was there really a point to this? "How would our boss react when he finds out that his girl is in love with his chauffeur!!!?" Miroku continued to laugh leaving Inuyasha completely blank.
"What do you mean?"
"Face it, Inuyasha. You're in love with this Kagome girl. I mean if you weren't, why would you be here in the first place. Cuz you can't live without her! And all this time I thought you were depressed because you were just that kind of person, but now I know why!! Cuz you freaking see her almost everyday. Jealous, man, Jealous!!"
"That's not true!"
"Oh yeah, then what is? Yeah, she's your friend at first, but I can tell by the picture that she was a completely different girl before she came here. Face it, brother. YOU'RE IN LOVE!!!!!!!!"
"Shut up before I smack you," Inuyasha said holding up a fist.
"And you're abusive every time I talk about this, so you obviously are. Why don't you go and tell her that you love her, already?"
"I can't! Cuz I don't love her! I've known her since she couldn't even talk right, so there's no way I would ever have feelings for her, and why am I even having this conversation with you. You don't even know her!!"
"I know that she's one hot babe."
"Miroku!!!!!!!!
*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*
Kagome ran as fast as she could into her room and hopped on to the bed, and grabbing her phone at the same time. If Sango wasn't going to tell her about Inuyasha then, she was going to ask Shippo. Hopefully Shippo would help. She dialed Shippo's number and put the phone to her ear, bobbing her knee up and down.
"Hello?" Shippo answered.
"Shippo! It's me Kagome." Kagome heard Shippo cheer and jump up and down.
"Hey Kagome! You haven't called me in ages!"
"Yeah I know. So how's everyone doing?"
"Just dandy and you?"
"God its hell here." Both Shippo and Kagome laughed. "Um.Shippo, can I ask you a question?" Kagome asked, playing with the thread on her pillow.
"Sure, you need counseling just like Inuyasha, right?" Shippo asked. Kagome giggled.
"Speaking of the devil, Sango mentioned something about Inu working his ass off to get here, is that true?" Shippo laughed.
"Oh yeah."Kagome's face went from happy to serious. Her head perked up and her finger was pulled away from the thread.
"What? What did he do?"
"Well, he tried to make an attempt to go to Tokyo soon after he found out you left, but unfortunately the boy did not have any cash."
"What are you talking about Shippo; Sesshomaru has a lot of money."
"Sesshomaru has a lot of money, not Inuyasha. So, Inuyasha decided to ask his dear brother for help."
"Really? Inuyasha asked Sesshomaru for help. That's something new."
"That's not even the start of it. Sesshomaru, like usual rejected Inuyasha, and said no. Then Inuyasha went off on his temper tantrum so Sesshomaru decided to make a deal with him."
"What kind of deal?"
"The deal was to get passing grades for the school year.."
"HOLY SHIT!!!THAT WAS THE DEAL!!!"
"Yup."
"But does he even know how bad Inu is in school?"
"Yup. And Inuyasha reacted the same way, but that was the only way. If he passed then Sesshomaru would send him to Tokyo." Kagome bit her lip and her head hung low.
"So he did it?"
"He spent every waking moment studying after you left. He didn't even go to parties, he broke up with Kikyou when he found out what she did to you, and he basically turned into some bookworm."
"You mean Inu, actually studied?"
"Yup, and he hated it. He was always tired, but he showed up to school early and stayed late to catch up on work. He didn't even fail a test, but passed it with a C or higher." Kagome suddenly felt her heart twinge.
Inuyasha had actually studied for her? Kagome almost dropped the phone thinking about it. So Inuyasha did tell the truth about him working his ass off to get to Tokyo, and she didn't even listen.
"Kagome, are you there?" Kagome cleared her throat.
"Yeah, I'm here," Kagome managed. She had the urge to cry for Inuyasha and herself.
"Well, that's half of it." Kagome raised her head and fell back onto the pillow. There was more? She was already feeling really bad about it.
"When Inuyasha showed up in Tokyo, the first thing he did was find you. Well he did, and insisted that he had to see you, to the security guards. But, when your security guards called him a reported and told him to get lost, him and his short temper made him punch one of them."
"NANI?!" Kagome brought a hand to her forehead.
"They called the police on him and dragged him to the station.."
"So that incident that one night..that was Inu?"
"I bet. But, when Sesshomaru did let him out, Inuyasha was pretty much out of cash. Sesshomaru refused to pay, so he was a penniless hobo on the streets."
"Inuyasha?"
"So the only choice he had was the one Sesshomaru gave him. Get a job, and so..Inuyasha got a job as a driver." Kagome moaned and rolled over onto her stomach. Inuyasha did all that just to see her? She felt guilty, very guilty for yelling at him and thinking he was just a lazy pig.
"I'm so stupid!" Kagome banged her head on the pillow. "Why am I such a clueless freak?" She sat up. "He tried to tell me, but I just put a wall in my mind and I didn't register a thing he said!!!"
"Kagome.are you talking to me, or are you talking to yourself?"
"Both! I need to talk to Inu. Where can I find him?"
"He's at some guy's place that he works for. That's all I know. Sango doesn't tell me much." Kagome fell back onto the bed. She couldn't leave now, it was close to midnight and there was no way she would be able to get in, with all of Kouga's security. And she couldn't just march over there. Kouga would be kind of suspicious seeing that she went to visit his driver and not him. She would just have to do it tomorrow. That meant she had to see Kouga.
"Shippo, I have to go right now. I'll call you later," she said quickly.
"Good night!" There was a click and then the line was gone. Kagome again dialed Kouga's number. The voice of a butler answered.
"Hi, is Kouga home?"
"May I ask who's speaking?"
"Um.Kagome Higurashi." Kagome said quickly.
"Oh, hello Miss. I will get the master right away." It took a while for Kouga to answer.
"Kagome! What a surprise! How can I help you?"
"Let's do something tomorrow, morning." Kagome said.
"Uh..sure! I'm happy that you called!" Kouga said. "Should I pick you up? Or."
"Yes, can you pick me up around seven then?"
"Sure."
"That's great. See you!" Kagome hung up and tossed the phone aside. She had to talk to Inuyasha. Inuyasha had driven them everywhere so far, so she was sure he would drive them tomorrow. Kagome held tightly onto the pillow and looked up at the ceiling. Tomorrow she would surely have to apologize to Inuyasha.
To think that Inuyasha went through all of that just to see her. Kagome was surprised as ever. And here she thought that Inuyasha didn't even care about her, and just needed her as a counselor or someone to help him with his stupid problems. Kagome bit her lip and smiled. When she had found out everything turned into a bright light. She didn't know if it was happiness or guiltiness. She was just surprised about everything. To think Inuyasha actually had a soft hard. And he did for her...he chose her over Kikyou.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So you're really going?" Miroku asked, as Inuyasha threw a red shirt over his jeans.
"Yup. Tokyo turned out different then what I thought." Inuyasha picked up his navy blue baseball hat and put it over his head.
"Either it was that, or you just couldn't get through that Kagome girl's head."
"Whatever." Inuyasha mumbled and then threw his bag over his shoulder.
"So how're you getting home?"
"I'll find a way." Inuyasha said, even though he knew he would have his driver drive him home. He and Miroku shook hands and then Miroku threw his arms around Inuyasha.
"Dude, what the hell you are doing?!" Inuyasha yelled backing away.
"I'm gonna miss you man! I'm gonna be the only guy again here!" Miroku faked crying. Inuyasha laughed and pushed his friend off.
"You know you like it!" Miroku sighed.
"Did you talk to Kouga about quitting?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"It's not like he cares anyways. I don't have time to let him know."
"You can let him know, when he actually figures out that the only one driving him for a whole year was you." Miroku let out a laugh and scratched the back of his neck.
"The only problem is I won't be able to hang out at the club as much now."
"That's your lost." The two looked at each other and smirked.
"I'll see you then." Inuyasha turned around and headed towards the front gate. His limo was waiting for him, and if he could get in without being caught then that would be okay. He hurried inside the car, as the driver shut the door.
They were driving almost twenty minutes when a thought hit his head.
"Aww shit! I promised Sango and Shippo a souvenir!!!" The driver looked at him strangely as waiting for a queue to head towards the mall. "Head towards the mall!" Inuyasha said. The driver nodded and turned the car.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome bit her lip as she saw the limo approaching her home. Today she wore a red T-shirt with just jeans. Her hair was in braided pigtails and she wanted to be herself as much as possible. She was getting excited, she was going to make everything clear for Inuyasha that she knew what happened. The car stopped and she hurried over to it. She could see Kouga inside but she was only worried about one thing. The chauffeur got out of the car and Kagome smiled. But then her expression changed.
The driver was not Inuyasha. Her eyes and the new driver's eyes held in lock for a minute and then he opened the door. She bit her lip and got into the car.
"So where do you want to go?"
"Um."
"How about the mall?!" Kouga asked. "I'll buy you what ever you want."
"Sure." Kagome trailed off. How come Inuyasha wasn't driving today? The time when she actually wanted Inuyasha around, he wasn't there, but when she didn't even want to see his face, he was always right in front of her. Why was Kami so unfair?
"Miroku, drive us to the mall," Kouga said. Miroku nodded and began driving.
Once they were at the mall Miroku opened the door and let the two out. Just as he reached for Kagome's hand he brought his mouth close to her ear.
"If you're looking for him, he left for home today." he whispered quickly. Kagome's eyes widened and then her hands fell to her side. So this guy is a friend of Inuyasha? Kagome looked at him with big eyes and then the man nodded.
"Are you ready?" Kouga asked/ Kagome looked at him and then nodded. Inuyasha was gone; he left for Kyoto already, because she yelled at him.
"You...baka, you're tougher than that!" Kagome whispered. She slowly dragged herself inside the mall with Kouga.
She couldn't believe it. The day she wanted to talk to him he was leaving for Kyoto. He was probably very mad at her too. She was stupid to know how much he really did for her. Kagome could feel the tears coming to her eyes just thinking about it.
"Kagome are you alright?" Kouga asked, looking at her flushed face.
"Uh.yeah. Allergies, I need to go to the bathroom." Kagome said turning around while her braids hit her face. She ran as fast as she could towards the bathroom and froze. There he was, standing right at a store looking up at the name of the store.
Inuyasha hadn't left yet? What was he still doing here? Kagome couldn't help but smile and running towards him.
"Inu!" she yelled at the top of her lung. Some of the costumers even turned to look at the girl who was running full speed in her sneakers.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha turned around and his eyes widened when he saw who was yelling his name. There was only one person who called him 'Inu'. Kagome was sprinting towards him and then halted right in front of him.
"Kag/" Inuyasha found himself saying.
"What are you still doing here?" Kagome asked, panting and then crouching down and putting her hands on her knees. Inuyasha glared down at her.
"What, I wasn't following you this time; I didn't even know you would be here." Inuyasha said. "I was getting some stuff for Shippo and Sango."
"Inu.."
"If you have a problem with me here, I'll let you know that I'm leaving, so you don't have to worry any more about me bothering you."
"Inu.stop fucking talking, and listen to me! I was mad at you because."
"I don't want to listen to your shit anymore. I know I'm useless, you don't have to tell me again!" Inuyasha shouted. He turned around and started walking away.
"Inu!" Kagome shouted. She ran after him and grabbed his arm. "Inu, I've listen to you plenty of times, now listen to me!" she yelled without even looking at her, Inuyasha slapped her arm away and walked even faster.
"I'm not gonna listen to your criticism any more Kag, leave me the hell alone!!!!!!!!!" he yelled, still walking and not looking at Kagome chasing after him. He broke into a run and Kagome followed.
"Inu!" she yelled trying to reach for his arm again but he pulled it away. And then suddenly he felt two arms wrap around his stomach. His eyes widened and he slowed down as Kagome and he stood in the middle of the mall, her hugging him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome squeezed her eyes shut as she held on tightly, not letting go. She could smell the familiar scent that she had always smelled on Inuyasha.
"Don't go." she said. Her cheek was resting on his back as she hugged tighter. Inuyasha was probably in some sort of shock because he didn't make a sound.
"If you leave, there would be no reason for me to stay happy. The only reason why my life has been better in the past four months is because of your presence here." There was still no answer from him.
"I know about what you did. The deal with Sesshomaru and all. I can't believe you did all that for me. I'm sorry that I didn't hear you out, I'm sorry Inu. But if you leave, I don't know what I will do. Don't go.please." She felt Inuyasha shift and then his head lowered.
"Kag." he said quietly.
"Yeah?"
"I can't breathe."
Kagome's eyes widened and she let go suddenly. She blushed and tucked some loose strands of hair behind her ear. It just occurred to her that they must of looked really silly standing in front everyone in that position. Inuyasha turned around and looked at her.
"How did you find out?"
"Shippo told me."
"If he made it sound really good, then he was probably exaggerating and crap."
"What was your final grade?" Kagome asked.
"C's...I know it's not that good, but it was the best I could."
"It's great. I'm really proud of you!" Kagome said throwing her arms up and then threw them around Inuyasha's neck. Inuyasha stumbled backwards in surprised and almost fell into the fountain.
"Kag.Kag...c'mon not here! It's gonna look funny!" Kagome giggled and ten pulled away.
"So are you gonna leave?" she asked. Inu looked up and then making a sucking sound.
"Why should I?"
"Inu.please?" Inuyasha laughed and pulled his cap down harder on his head.
"I'll see." Kag smiled and prepared to hug him again but Inuyasha backed away.
"Yes!" she yelled, knowing that he was staying for sure.
"So how did you know I was here?" Inuyasha asked.
"I didn't! I'm here with Kouga, cuz I wanted to talk to you, but you didn't drive. Some Miroku guy is."
"It's a good thing I didn't actually quit. I can get my job back." Kagome smiled and bit her lip. She never felt so good to be by Inuyasha's side in such a long time.

REVIEW REIVIEW REVIEW!! It took such a long time to do this chapter for some reason. Sorry, for taking such a while. Please forgive me. Well now that the two are friends again, it's time for some love. And to answer some questions:
Kagome is an only child, so Souta's not in this fic. The story only revolves mostly around Inu and Kag. It's supposed to be only about them. Also, in the story.I've mentioned that Kagome's mom died, so that' why she lives with her aunt.
I also decided that Shippo would be the one to tell Kagome about Inuyasha and not Inuyasha tell her, because if Inu told her, it would be like bragging, kind of. And you would think that Inuyasha is conceited and someone who brags. Kagome finding out from someone else would be more of a surprise and she would actually believe, cuz at the time she was mad at Inu (and wouldn't believe him). So I hope you guys are okay with that.
If you have any other questions please ask! And if you have any ideas, please give. If you want to email me, review first and then I'll email you back. I hope you enjoy the story so far. Oh, and another thing. It's gonna be really hard to update now due to some stuff. But I will try my hardest!! :0) ENJOY and REVIEW!!!
HAVE A FUN SUMMER!
