AN: Hey! I know I said I would add Hojo in that last chapter, but it just
didn't work out the way I wanted it to. So, I will definitely put him in
this one! No doubt about it! Okay, here's the chapter.

Chapter Five-Boy Trouble
Kagome yawned, opening her eyes and seeing herself in her old bedroom. She stayed the night at home with Sota. Her mother and grandpa were on vacation, leaving poor Sota all alone. He worked up his courage, though; all thanks to some tutoring Inuyasha gave him four years ago.
She smiled; she hadn't slept this good in a long time. Ever since Inuyasha decided to go with Kikyo, she hadn't slept.
Sota walked into her room, a tray in his hands with food, a drink, and a vase with a flower. He smiled when he saw her sit up, and placed the tray on her lap.
"Sota..." Kagome said, smiling and grabbing the chopsticks. "What's this for?"
"For coming home to see Inuyasha, sis." He said, moving away and watched her eat. "I didn't think you would come, after what he did to you."
Kagome looked down at the food. She remembered that day. Sota was the one she cried with.
~*~ (Memory)
"Kagome," Inuyasha said, holding onto the young Kagome in his arms. "You know that I care for you. You are the only one that makes me truly happy."
Kagome looked up at him, tears rolling down her cheeks. "How could you do this to me, Inuyasha? I mean, I knew you want Kikyo, but I didn't think you would betray me like this."
"Kagome, I didn't betray you." Now his voice was loud, like he was yelling and he pushed her away. They stood by the well, Kagome's things already down there waiting for her. Sango, with Kirara on her shoulder, Miroku, with Shippo on his shoulder, stood there watching, thinking of anyway to help Inuyasha change his mind.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried, running to him and pounding him on the chest with such emotion. "You can't leave me! I've done everything I could for you! I know I can't sacrifice myself for you, but this is stupid! Inuyasha! I love you!"
Sango and Miroku gasped, and Inuyasha pulled her away, grabbing her tight and looking her firmly in the eyes. "Kagome, go home and don't come back!"
Kagome kneed him, and jumped in the well. She threw her things over the top, and jumped out. She ran into the house, crying her eyes out, her face so red with anger, and she slammed the door shut behind her. Sota sat by the table, and he followed her upstairs to her room.
"Kagome?" He asked.
Kagome buried her face in her pillow and cried. Sota walked up and sat next to her. He rubbed her back gently. And for three hours, Kagome cried. She cried, and thought about everything. That whole time, Sota sat there; rubbing her back, telling her it was going to be all right.
She sat up, finally, and wiped her face. "Sota... he hates me, he seriously hates me."
"What did he say?" Sota asked.
"He... chose Kikyo... and... he doesn't want me to return..." She looked around the room. "I guess I better return the shards that I've kept here. Sota... can you do that for me?"
Sota nodded, getting up and grabbing the shards. "I'll be back, sis." He said, and walked out of the room. Kagome sighed, and buried her face in her pillow again.
~*~ (End Memory)
Kagome finished eating and Sota took the tray away. She sighed and looked out of the window. It was raining. She smiled. She loved the rain. It made her feel better, no matter what.
The phone rang, and Sota came into her room with it.
"Hello?" Kagome asked after Sota gave her the phone.
"Kagome! It's Hojo! It's been a long time!"
Kagome blushed, she hadn't thought about him in a long time. She became his girlfriend a month after the Inuyasha incident, but when she moved to Tokyo, things just slipped away.
"Hojo? Wow, it has."
"How are you? I heard you came back for a family emergency."
"Yeah... my brother is left alone, he's still not old enough to take care of himself, and so I came rushing over. Says he keeps hearing voices."
Sota gave her a firm look, and she waved at him, a smile on her face as if it was a joke.
"Well, I'm glad you came back. I've been thinking about you for a long time, Kagome."
"I wish I could say the same, Hojo." She said, shaking her head, knowing that he couldn't see her making a face. She never really liked him to begin with.
"Well, what are you doing this evening?"
"Nothing..." she regretted it before it even came out of her mouth.
"Would you like to have dinner with me?"
"I'll have to see if my brother can work up the courage to stay home by himself..." Kagome said. "But... I'll let you know later. Bye." Before he could say anything, she hung up.
"What was that all about?" Sota asked.
"Sorry, I needed something to say, and that was the only thing I could think of."
Sota shook his head, and the phone rang again. Kagome threw it to Sota, and he answered it. "Hello? Yes, may I ask who this is? Okay, here she is." He handed her the phone. "It's Armon."
She smiled and snatched the phone from him. "Armon!" She said. "Hi!"
He laughed, "how are you, Hun?"
She laughed herself, "fine! How are you?"
"I miss you, how does that count?"
"Not so good," she said a smile on her face. "I miss you, too."
"Well, how's your family? I didn't get a chance to ask you what was wrong with them."
"Oh, well, my brother was left here alone for a while, and he wanted me to come over." She said, smiling at Sota again.
"Oh, well, I see."
"Yeah..."
"Well, I just called to check up on you. So, I guess I can go now. I love you."
"I love you more!" She said, and then hung up.
Sota shook his head and grabbed the phone from her. "You're crazy."
She laughed, "I know."
~*~
Inuyasha was half demon again, and he sighed, standing in front of the well. He searched all night for Kagome, but didn't find her. 'Maybe she went home,' he thought. 'That's why I couldn't find her.' He took a deep breath; he hadn't done this in years. He jumped into the well.
~*~
Kagome sat on the couch, her guitar in her hands, and a new song in her mind.
She started to play, and began to sing.
"You came/ to me/ with a question in your eyes/ You turned/ away/ so I couldn't ask you why/ you cared/ for me/ only because I looked like her/ and to/ think that/ I once was a believer/"
Sota walked into the room and sat down on the ground. She didn't notice him and kept singing.
"I believed in love/ I believed in fate/ I believed in true love/ and I didn't hate/ but that doesn't matter no more/ you don't care for my like you did before/ but/ that's okay/ I still love you/ anyway/"
Inuyasha walked into the room, and Sota looked up at him, shocked that he was here. He nodded to him and Sota ran out of the room. Inuyasha stood there, and listened to her sing.
"You came/ to me/ with a question in your eyes/ you turned/ away/ so I couldn't ask you why/ you cared/ for me/ only because I looked like her/ and to/ think that/ I once was a believer/"
She looked up, saw Inuyasha, and stopped singing. She stared at him, and then smiled. "Hello."
He smiled too, and walked over to her. "Hello, that was wonderful."
She blushed and pushed a strand of hair away from her face and behind her ear. "Thanks... It's for my band, the Jewel Shards."
He nodded and sat down next to her, their legs touching. "Kagome... about last night."
"Inuyasha, don't worry about it. I know you love Kikyo, and I'm sorry for showing up like that in the middle of your... togetherness."
He shook his head and grabbed her chin. "That's not it at all, Kagome."
"Then what is it?"
He smiled, and his golden eyes shined brighter than she had ever seen before. "Kagome, I left Kikyo."
She frowned, "what are you trying to say?"
"I left Kikyo... to be with you... Kagome... I love you."
Her face lightened up, and she dropped her guitar on the ground. "You do?"
He nodded, "I'm sorry it took so long to realize it. I had a lot of time by myself to think about it."
She wrapped her arms around his neck. "I missed you... Inuyasha."
He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. "I missed you more, Kagome."
She laughed, and he kissed her, for the very first time.
