The 2nd Chance
A/N- Once again I must ask your forgive-ness for taking so long to update. There are many reasons as to why I've been taking so long to update, and I'm sorry nya. v.v
Chapter 5: Friendly attempts
Kagome looked away as Kikyou vomited in the rose bushes, it wasn't a very pleasant sight.
Turning she saw all 3 guys laughing un-controllably, and narrowed her eyes. She didn't know who that girl down there was, but even so, dumping all of that disgusting stuff on her was rude!
Inuyasha managed to stop laughing long enough to see Kagome headed towards the door.
"H-hey Kagome. Where are you going?" He asked dumbfounded..
Kagome turned around angrily "It's bad enough that that girl had to be humiliated by having rotten foods dumped on her, but then to laugh at her? Do none of you have any morals?" Have snipped out before turning back around and leaving the room.
By then Inuyasha, Ryohei, and Ryuichi had stopped laughing.
"Well, I feel like and ass now. How about you guys?" Inuyasha half questioned, half commented.
"Nope." Ryuichi said grinning.
"Why would we feel bad about what we did?" Ryohei added in.
"Because you both dumped a ton of slop on an un-suspecting Kikyou, and then laughed at her!" Inuyasha replied irritably.
"Yeah. But Kikyou's also a cold hearted snob who thinks rude thoughts about us." Ryohei replied blandly.
"Wha-? Thinks rude thought about you? How would you know what she's thinking?" Inuyasha asked bluntly.
"You can see it in her evil eyes!" Ryuichi replied laughing as he walked out of the room.
"Yes, evil eyes." Ryohei whispered menacingly as he began laughing like a mad man, and also exited the room.
Inuyasha shook his head. His twin brothers, both of them older than him. Yet while he was trying (note: TRYING) to act mature, they just plain out didn't care.

Kagome wandered around for a while trying her best to figure out how to get to the garden.
And after several un-rewarding attempts, she finally came across a door that looked promising.
Pushing the door open she was rewarded to find the garden, and… a really, really bad smelling Kikyou.
"Um, Hi.." Kagome said impishly as she approached Kikyou.
"I haven't met you yet, but I'm Kagome. And, I'm really sorry about what happened. If I had known that they were going to do what they did, I never would have allowed them access to my balcony." Kagome said apologetically.
Kikyou whipped her mouth off with her sleeve and looked up. Was Kagome, being nice to her?
"Why?" Kikyou asked suspiciously.
Kagome looked at her in confusion "Why what?" she asked.
"Why are you acting so kindly towards me?" Kikyou replied standing up.
"Um. Because it was sort of my fault that this happened to you. And I'm really sorry, and. Why wouldn't I be nice to you?" Kagome answered.
Kikyou nodded. 'Yes, of coarse. She doesn't remember her life before this. So naturally she wouldn't see me as a threat to her and Inuyasha's relationship, because she doesn't even know that they ever had one.'
Kikyou smirked. "Ok. And by the way, I'm Kikyou."
"Nice to meet you" Kagome replied smiling brightly. "Here, let me help you go get cleaned up."

Sango looked to her right, and then to her left. There was no sign of anyone near by.
"Coast clear" Sango whispered to herself as she sprinted around the next corner and then stopped, pressing herself up against the wall.
"Yes. Kanjo I understand that you've been having horrible nightmares as of lately. And I think I know the cause of them." Miroku stated as he and Kanjo, one of the servants passed by where Sango was hiding.
"Do you by chance have any closets in your room?" Miroku questioned as he and Kanjo walked away.
Sango sighed in relief that they hadn't noticed her there.
As she scanned the area one more time, Sango smiled, and then made a mad dash for the kitchen door.
Sliding in and then shutting the door securely behind her Sango once again looked around to make sure there was no one near.
"I'm getting good at this" Sango said to herself as she strolled over to the pantry room and shut the door behind her.
"Now lets see.. Sugar rice cakes should be behind the Oranges.." Sango said to herself shuffling around through the foods.
"What the?" Sango had found the sugar ride cakes, and on top of them a letter.
Sango my beloved,
I want you to erase all thoughts of eating these sugar rice cakes from your mind right now! Yes that's right, I know you've been sneaking them! The closets probably know too… anyways, grab something healthy, like some fruit. Think of the baby, we don't want it being a junk food fanatic now do we?
Love,
Miroku.
Sango rolled her eyes and ripped the letter in two. No letter was going to stand between her and her sweets right now.
Grabbing one of the rice cakes, Sango was just about to stuff it in her mouth when she heard the kitchen door open.
'Uh oh' Sango thought to herself as she tried to be as quite as possible.
-;-
"Just hold on a second and I'll find a dish towel to wet, and wipe all of that stuff off of you." Kagome said as she began searching the cabinets for one.
"Ah! Here we go." Kagome said as she pulled out a clean white cloth and dunked it in a bucket of water.
"Yeah, thanks.." Kikyou replied dully as she took the cloth and then began whipping the rotten remains off.
"Wait, what's that smell?" Kikyou said as she pulled the cloth away from her face and looked at it.
"Kagome? What water did you dunk this in?" Kikyou asked suspiciously.
Kagome looked confused "Um, that one." Kagome said pointing towards a large brown bucket.
Kikyou's eyes widened "That's the dirty dish water!" You practically yelled.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Kagome gasped clasping a hand over her mouth.
"Here, I'll take that, and get you a fresh one!" Kagome said grabbing the cloth and turning to find another one.
"Wait. Where is some clean water?" Kagome asked spinning around and accidentally slapping Kikyou in the face with the wet cloth at the same time.
Kagome dropped the cloth on the ground and held both hands to her mouth. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! I really didn't mean to-"
"Just, stop trying to help me." Kikyou said through clenched teeth.
And as she turned to leave the kitchen, she stepped, and slipped on the wet rag that Kagome had dropped.
"Oh no!" Kagome could slap herself. How was it possible to mess up so many times in a row?
Kikyou got up rubbing the back of her head.
"Are you ok?" Kagome squeaked.
Kikyou glared at her "You are such a screw up!" she yelled, and then left.
-;-
All the while Sango sat in the pantry and heard it all. How horrible of Kikyou to say such things!
But what Sango hadn't heard, was the Kitchen door opening again, and Miroku coming in.
"Kagome don't listen to her! You aren't a screw up!" Sango declared as she burst out of the pantry room, her arms full of sugar rice cakes.
Kagome and Miroku stood there staring, a little in shock.
"Eh?" Sango bit her lip and looked down at all the sweets she was holding.
"I can explain Miroku.." she said sweat-dropping and backing back into the pantry.
"Stop." Miroku said bluntly, and Sango stopped.
Walking over to her, he took all of the rice cakes and looked her sternly in the eye "Fruits." He said simply before walking to the kitchen door.
"Hey Kagome. Sorry for that." He said and then left.
Sango looked at Miroku's retreating figure longingly.
Kagome noticed the look of longing and spoke up. "Is he going somewhere? Are you going to miss him?" she asked a little in confusion.
Sango sighed "No."
"Then what?" Kagome asked curiously.
"He took all of the sugar rice cakes!" Sango wailed bursting out in tears.
Kagome stood for a second, not sure what to do. She didn't know half of these people, who all seemed to know her.
Not to mention, last time she tried to help some one out, she just managed to get them madder at her.
"Um, are you ok?" Kagome asked cautiously.
Sango sniffed, looked up, and smiled.
"Yeah, sorry. It's these damn hormones.. It sucks to be pregnant sometimes.." She replied, now very cheery.
"Oh, I see" Kagome smiled, no longer confused.
"I've got to go hunt down Miroku, and my sugar cakes now. Ja." Sango said as she hopped off after Miroku.
"How odd.." Kagome said to herself shaking her head and swearing to never get pregnant.
-;-
Now in fresh garments Kikyou smiled as she caught sight of Inuyasha walking down the hall across from her.
"Inuyasha!" she called out as she began running over to him.
"Huh?" Inuyasha turned to see Kikyou running over to him.
"Oh, hey Kikyou, what's up?" he asked as she got closer.
"I just finished- Oomph!" Kikyou gasped as her foot caught on the rug and she fell forwards.
-;-
Kagome walked along a hallway looking around. She couldn't remember exactly how to get back to her room.
"Let's see. Did I take a left back there? Or maybe it was that I should have taken a right.. Hmmm."
Kagome had just turned another corner when she saw Inuyasha. Though she hadn't seen Kikyou.
She was just about to call out to him, to ask where her room was when she felt a painful jolt shoot through her body, and cried out.
-;-
"Gotcha" Inuyasha said as he caught Kikyou in his arms.
Blushing, Kikyou smiled and looked up. "Thank yo-"
"Kagome!" Inuyasha said suddenly as he cut Kikyou off after hearing Kagome cry out.
Forgetting about Kikyou he dropped her and ran over, catching Kagome just before she hit the ground.
"Kagome, are you alright!?" Inuyasha asked worriedly as he held her in his arms.
Kagome out her hand to her forehead and looked at him dizzily. "Stop spinning in circles, it's giving me a head-ache" she said as she let her eyes focus, to find that he wasn't spinning in circles.
"What happened?" Inuyasha asked in worry.
Kagome stood up, still in Inuyasha's arms.
"Well. I was about to call out for you, to ask you where my room was, when all of the sudden the horrible pain shot through my body. And now, I kind of feel a little empty.." She replied.
Inuyasha sighed, "You're probably just tired. Here, I'll take you to your room." And with that, Inuyasha lifted Kagome into his arms, and carried her off to her room.
Kikyou sat there, on the ground, where Inuyasha had dropped her!
'Why that little.' she thought angrily. She was so going to get her back. And she knew exactly how too.
-;-
Inuyasha laid a blushing Kagome down on her bed and smiled.
"I'm not sure, what kind of sick-ness makes a person collapse and feel a bit empty, but I'm guessing that you're just exhausted, so take it easy ok?" Inuyasha commented.
Kagome bit her lower lip and nodded. "Sorry."
Inuyasha shrugged "Nothing to be sorry about. I'm sure after a good night's sleep you'll be fine." He said as he walked to the door.
"Sweet dreams, Kagome." He said smiling, and then pulled the door close behind him.
Kagome blushed deeper and hid her face in her pillows.
'He's so sweet..' she thought to herself.
-;-
Inuyasha closed the door behind him and smirked happily. Who needed to tell Kagome that she had been in love with him before she died, when she was already falling back in love with him?
"Thinking of some one special?" Kikyou asked as she walked up to him.
"Yep." Inuyasha replied not really catching the hint that she was speaking about herself.
Kikyou giggled a little and looked down blushing. "Why not express your thoughts out-loud then?" she asked.
A few seconds passed by and there was no answer.
"Inuyasha?" Kikyou questioned looking up, just to realize that he had left.
"Oh the nerve!" Kikyou scowled.
Then she turned and glared at Kagome's door. Time to end this…
-;-
Kagome was sitting on her bed trying to figure out what she was going to where as night cloths when there was a knock on the door.
"Um, come in.." Kagome said impishly, thinking it was Inuyasha.
Kagome was a bit surprised when, instead of Inuyasha entering the room, it was Kikyou.
"Oh, hey Kikyou. Do you need something?" Kagome asked in confusion.
Kikyou glared coldly at Kagome with hatred in her eyes.
"We need to talk."
A/N- To tell the truth. I only managed to get this chapter out cause I'm home sick, and therefore can't go to school. I know I've been taking a long time to update and I'm sorry. If it helps any, this chapter was 2 pages longer than my normal chapters, and I already know what I'm doing for the next chapter. Expect another update soon (depending on the reviews. It seems less and less people review every chapter T.T )
