Chapter nine- The dream part two
"Kag," Sango exclaimed upon seeing her sister enter the band room. "How are you doing?"
"I'm fine Sango… Really I am," Kagome assured as she put her bass clarinet together and took her seat in the middle of the second row. She watched patiently as Sango pieced her bass together, and took her seat next to Kagome.
"Running out of the class in tears is far from alright Kag," Sango replied placing her hand on Kagome's shoulder. I know your not alright, you just don't want to talk about it."
"No kiddin," she muttered
"Oi Kagome, how are you doing?" Inuyasha asked as he stopped in front of her.
"One more time," she muttered.
"What?" he asked confused.
"If someone asks me that one more time…"
"We're just concerned Kag," Inuyasha explained, hands settling on her shoulders. "That's all."
Kagome was a little creeped out when Inuyasha pulled her into a hug. She wasn't really sure how to react to it this time, after he had told her that he was concerned about her, and then he pulled her into a hug. How else was she to respond, other then blush?
"What are you doing?" she asked quietly.
Inuyasha didn't answer her; he just stood there holding her tighter.
"Inuyasha," she mumbled putting her arms around him. "Why are you being so affectionate towards me lately?"
He still did not answer her.
"Hello?"
"Shut up, you're ruining the moment," he muttered.
"We're having a moment?" she was confused now. Since when do two people that hate each other have a moment?
"Hold on," She said louder, pulling away from him to look him in the eyes. "Why are you doing this stuff, didn't we swear to always hate each other and all that good junk?"
"I think that was a mistake," he mumbled feeling foolish.
"Why?"
"Because I can't hate you," he answered.
Both Kagome and Sango were shocked by the answer. Yes she was still there listening in on the whole thing. Sango had to admit this was a big shock coming from their long time rival.
Sango sat in her seat staring at him, "not that it's any of my business… but why did you never say anything about it before?"
Inuyasha looked to Sango, and shrugged lightly, thinking to himself. "Well... I dunno... Maybe I didn't want to? Or I didn't know how too? Or maybe..." He paused for a moment. "Maybe... I was afraid...? Who knows... People change..." He looked away for a moment, his deep violet eyes focusing on the wall, as he waited for the response, sighing lightly.
"Fine, but I still think your up to someth…"
"Sango, leave him alone," Kagome demanded. "I believe him. I don't really feel he'd lie about something like that… Or at least he better not."
Inuyasha stood and looked down at Kagome. "I wouldn't lie to you."
"What about Krystle. Surely she wouldn't like her man getting close to Kagome," Sango spat.
"Who gives a fuck about Krystle? You know what she wants?" he paused. "That bitch only wants money and status."
"And what do you want from Kagome?" Ambi asked as she popped up next to Inuyasha.
"Are you insinuating that I want her as a toy?" he asked feeling annoyed.
"What if I am?" Ambi asked leveling a cold glare on him. "It's not like you haven't been toying with her for the last some odd years now."
"I just want a friend that actually would care about what I think." He paused. "Kagome is a very opened caring person, and I took advantage of that and hurt her. If she wants to hate me then she can, but it's none of your business Ambrosia."
"All of you stop it!" Kagome screamed, calling the whole room to attention. "Stop fighting, I'm not worth that."
"Look, Inuyasha isn't that bad," she paused and smiled at him. " I've gotten to know him a lot better the last few days. He likes the same things I like; he understands a lot of my feelings, and all that good stuff. If I thought it was going to be a problem then you'd all know it by now."
"Kag…"
"No, don't 'Kag' me… I know what I'm doing Ambi. I wish you guys would trust me more. It's pretty sad that my two best friends can't even give me a chance to make my own decisions about things like this.
"They have every right to question me." Inuyasha mumbled backing away from the group. "It only makes sense. I was really horrible to you Kag, and now your just going to up and trust me?"
"Of course,' She smiled again. "Everyone deserves a second chance. Even you Yasha."
"Look why don't you go back to your section and we'll talk at lunch. Alright?" Kagome asked.
"Sure," she grinned.
"That means you too Ambi. Go take your seat." Kagome shooed her off, then turned her attention to her bass clarinet.
The hour went by slowly, and soon it was time for lunch.
Kagome slowly put away her insternment, hoping that for once the lunch period would pass quickly. It had already been a bad day, and now she had to explain things to her sister, and Inuyasha.
So much for any thing that resembled a free moment.
"Oi, Kagome," a gruff yet soft voice called over her shoulder.
She smiled, "oi yourself!"
"I'm hurt Kagome," he gasped playfully.
"Oh I'm sure you are," she turned and grinned at him. "Hey you."
"Hey."
"What do you really want Yasha," she asked him, her smile falling from her face.
"I just want to be your friend, I'm sick of fighting all the time. We sound like a friggin married couple or something… The way we fight all the time." He explained laughing.
"That's fine with me, as long as you don't hurt me anymore." She agreed. "Can I tell you a secret?"
"If you want."
"I've been waiting for this day for the last month and a half." She grinned.
"Oh really now?" he asked, placing a hand on her shoulder.
'Friend my ass Yash,' he thought to himself as he watched her return her attention to taking apart her insternment. 'You know there was more to it then that… Why can't you just tell her you like her?'
"That's just wrong," he thought out loud.
Kagome looked up at him and smiled, "what was that Yasha?"
"Hmm… Oh sorry I was just thinking," he confessed.
"Is there something wrong?"
Inuyasha sat for a few minutes thinking about how to answer her question. He didn't really want to tell her that he liked her, no that'd just seem… Awkward. And asking her to homecoming after all the things he'd done to her… That wasn't right either.
"Let's go outside," he mumbled.
"Alright, just let me finish putting this away," and she turned her attention back to her bass clarinet working quickly to take it's pieces apart and put them where they belonged. Then she walked to the back room and hefted it up into her locker and put the lock on.
"Let's go," she said as she walked back to the main room. "Where do you want to go outside?"
"Let's just go to the front and sit on the bench out there. It'll be a lot quieter, and there'll be less people around."
With that he grabbed her hand and drug her outside to the farthest bench they could find, and plopped down, pulling her down with him. He looked at her for a second then turned his attention to the sky, it was a relatively nice day. Partly sunny, and a nice 65 degrees, and the wind was blowing slightly, causing a nice breeze.
Inuyasha gave an almost invisible smile, and looked down at Kagome through the corner of his eye. Eyes closed, head leaned back, and she was completely relaxed. So why did he feel so tense? So uncomfortable?
"So…"
"So what?" he asked.
"Why are you being all quiet and stuff… Your not normally this quiet," she replied.
"Can't a guy think?"
"You think?" she asked skeptically.
"Hey… Your pushing it girl," he teased back.
"So tell me what's go you so quiet."
"It's nothing," he answered turning his attention to his feet.
"Sure it isn't," she teased.
"No seriously… What is it Yasha," she asked concerned.
"It's really nothing important. I was just thinking about asking you to home coming." He blinked when he heard himself say that, and silently berated himself.
'You weren't suppose to say anything idiot.'
"What about Krystle?"
"What about her?"
"Shouldn't you be going with your own girlfriend and not me?" Kagome asked skeptically. 'Maybe he's up to something.'
"Krystle and I broke up this morning."
"Oh… Why?"
"She's a bitch Kag," he paused. "She wanted money, and when she didn't get it, she went crawling to someone else."
Kagome huffed, "serves you right, you big jerk!"
"What was that wench?"
"I called you a Jerk!" she paused. "Jerk."
"Wench."
"Idiot!"
"Bitch!"
"Bastard!"
With each insult they grew closer and closer to each other.
"Ahem," they heard from in front of them.
There stood Kes, dressed in her normal dress pants and shirt, with her teacher's badge hanging from a belt loop. She looked down at her little sister, and Inuyasha and smiled softly.
"Care to explain to me why I just got a call from your Government teacher?" she asked.
"You have got to be kidding me," she looked at Inuyasha who shrugged then turned back to her sister. "You are kidding right?"
"No, I'm not kidding. He called and told me you left class crying. Is everything alright," Kes asked concerned.
Kagome nodded, "Inuyasha here took care of it."
"Did he now?" Kes asked raising a questioning eyebrow.
"Don't you have a class to teach soon?" Kagome asked embarrassed but what her oldest sister was trying to imply.
Kesilin laughed, and turned on her heels.
"See ya later Kags," she said over her shoulder.
By the time Kesilin was out of hearing range both teens turned to each other and laughed. Neither quiet sure what to think of the odd woman that just stood before them, and her even odder plight.
Then the bell rang.
"Well, time to go back to class."
