Chapter 2

Another day, here I go again
Drive myself insane

Back in his time,she couldn't get him off of her mind.

"Come on girl,get yourself together...remember he loves Kikyo," not really convincing herself as much as she had hoped to with that thought,"Well...I can still like him. It's not like they're married."

Stop to think
How could I forget
You're with me every single day

Thinking about Inuyasha,she felt her face begin to burn as she remembered what she had done what seemed like only minutes ago.

"I can't believe I almost kissed him, thank Kami I realized what I was doing and only kissed him on the cheek."

Thinking about the same thing,Inuyasha looked over at the now beet red Kagome.

"Did she really kiss me?It was only on the cheek...but still..." changing his train of thought "Why did I hug her? It's not like I like her or anything...well maybe just a little..." not really believing himself and trying to justify his thoughts,"I only like her because she reminds me of Kikyo,that's all..."

"You're lying and you know it" said a little voice inside his head.

Glancing over at him for the first time since they had gotten back from her era,he seemed to be deep in thought.

"He's probably thinking about Kikyo,once we get the whole jewel He'll just abandon me and go to her I bet...wait thats not true he'll always protect me... he would never leave me...he'd at least make sure that I was home in my era first..."letting a little sigh escape her.

Now I look and I see the one
The only one for me

Because of school,she needed to go back to her time. Even though she didn't really want to and Inuyasha was making it worse by acting like she'd never return.

"Inuyasha, I have a test tommorow. I'll be back in a day,I promise."

"That's what you said last time," he said bluntly.

"Yeah,but this time I mean it,"giving him puppy dog eyes.

"Ok,go ahead, but be back as soon as you take your..uh...what did you call it...uh test,"he said,meanwhile the little voice in his head chimed in again, "I told you so."

"Oh shut up!"

Jumping into the well,she felt so lonely, she felt as if she left a peice of herself back with him.

"Oh well, I'll be back with him by tommorow night and then I won't be lonely then,"thinking to herself she added,"I'm glad Koji broke up with me, otherwise I woulda never realized that I like Inuyasha."

Cause I don't need to search for
A way to try to be more
I have found a love that's so secure

Her day at school had been horrible, mainly because of Koji and what he was saying about her.

"Can you believe what she did?" she had heard a girl say as she passed her in the hallway.

"Yeah, Koji said that they went all the way."

Thinking about what she had heard, she was mentally thrown for a loop. Were they talking about her? What had Koji told everyone?

Spying Koji near her next class, she had walked up to him.

"Ok,Kagome,I guess we can go back out, If...you promise to do all that stuff with me like before."

"What stuff?!? We never did anything,"almost screaming.

He didn't want to look like a lier in front of everyone, seeing as when she had come up to him everyone had turned to look at them,so he quickly came back with,"Sure we did. You're just a lier."

"I can't believe I ever went out with you,you're...you're...you're such a JERK!!"she shouted as she bolted for the door, compleatly blowing off her test.

"Why not I'm usually not here anyway,"she thought as she ran home crying.

Running up to her room, she slammed the door and locked it,not giving her mom a chance to walk in on her crying.

Not noticing that Inuyasha was sitting in the chair next to her desk, she sat down on her bed.

"Kagome...why are you crying?"he whispered.

"Oh...uh, Inuyasha,I didn't see you,"trying to wipe away the tears quickly,"Why are you here,I was gonna come back in a little while."

"I was...You didn't answer my question. Why were you crying?" he repeated as he sat on the bed with her.

"Oh...it's nothing...nothing at all,I promise."

"You're lying...what's wrong?"

Finally breaking down she told him.

"It's Koji again, he said we did stuff...bad stuff...it's not true...we didn't even kiss...but because he's popular everyone believes him,"she said as the tears began to flow again.

Hugging her again, but this time knowing what he was doing,this time even tighter,trying to comfort her and calm himself.

"How dare him,How dare he say things like that about my kagome?"

The little voice jumping at the chance,"When did she become yours?"

"Oh shut up,"he thought back.

Holding her tightly,he felt her pull away from him. Looking down into her watery eyes,he saw an emotion he had never seen in them.

"Why is she looking at me like that?" he started to think,but his thoughts were directed into a new direction when she started to speak.

"Arigatou Inuyasha. You're always here for me, and I hope you always will be."
