Waiting For You

Chapter 10

Fight

Kagome watched as Inuyasha and Kouga punched back and forth at each other, mostly Inuyasha now threw most of the punches as Kouga just dodged and threw a punch here and there. After a few minutes, Inuyasha had a bruise forming on his cheek and a bloody lip while Kouga had a bloody nose and seemed to be limping?

"Inuyasha! Kouga! Stop it!" Kagome rushed in (finally) after seeing Inuyasha under Kouga as he threw as many punches as he could. Kagome's face went up next to Kouga's as she tried to pull him away, though he quickly slapped her face making her turn away from him.

"Get away, wench!"

"You bastard!" Inuyasha pushed Kouga off of him and stood up breathing a bit heavily. "Leave Kagome out of this!"

"Shut the hell up, dog shit!"

"If you lay another finger on her I swear I'll..." Inuyasha spoke sternly but Kouga finished his sentence.

"What you'll kill me? That's a really big threat..."

"It's not a threat, it's a promise!" Inuyasha snarled charging towards Kouga and throwing both of them on the ground. Kagome couldn't take it as she ran away from the fight her hand up by her cheek a small red mark on it from when she got hit. Inuyasha saw Kagome get away and gave a small smirk.

'At least she's safe...'

"Get off of me, you lousy excuse for a demon!" Kouga screamed as he brought up his knee kicking Inuyasha in the stomach, all the air went out of his lungs as he fell back onto some one's feet. He quickly looked up but soon regretted it...

"Hey, old hag..."

Kagome ran to the end of the gym and turned around to look behind her, every one was up by the stage watching the fight, but it soon seemed to settle down for some reason. She just sighed as she looked around her luckily no one had seen her walk away (be a bit embarrassing, especially for some one to see the only girl to stand up to Inuyasha and to also be crying).

"I wonder where the hell..." Kagome sighed as she walked back and forth coming up to an unbelievable sight. "Rin?! What the hell are you doing?!" Kagome screamed as she saw Rin grinding against a certain silver haired boy behind her.

"Oh...Kagome..." Rin said as she stopped what she was doing and tried walking away from the guy, but his grip on her was too strong. Rin just decided to give a small smile and talk herself out of this instead. "This is um...Sesshomaru...I well...know him from...before..."

"I know who he is...Inuyasha's 'half brother'...we've met before though it wasn't a pleasant meeting at first...and this doesn't seem to be a pleasant meeting either now does it?" Kagome asked trying to stay as calm as possible, tonight was just not going well at all...

"Oh...so no need for introductions then, huh? So is the dance over?" Rin asked.

"Yeah, it's over." Kagome said as she grabbed onto Rin's hand pulling her away from Sesshomaru's grip and walking towards the exit.

"No wait...Kagome..." Rin struggled but with no luck so she just blew a kiss and winked at Sesshomaru quickly dropping a small piece of paper. "Call me!"

"Humph...you haven't changed at all in the past couple months have you?" Kagome sighed as she threw open the doors walking outside to come face to face with a pissed off girl.

"Kami...I am so lucky today, aren't I?" Kagome huffed as she walked a bit dropping Rin. "Let me see...next stop! You're going home!"

"Kagome...I have no ride..."

"Then how'd you get here?"

"Walked..."

"Liar..."

"Ok, it was from Sesshomaru...I met him a couple days ago...but now I can't go back after you embarrassed me in front of him like that."

"I'm guessing he doesn't care much...any way you can get a ride home from a guy named Miroku, he's a pervert who doesn't like to keep his hands to himself...that's all you need to know to be able to find him."

"Now who is this girl?" Rin asked as she pointed behind Kagome.

"Oh just some slut..."

"Oh ok..."

"Who are you calling a slut, Kaggie?! Listen if it wasn't for those two god damn votes I would have won for Homecoming Queen and you'd be left alone like usual!" Kikyo yelled as she walked up in a short (and I mean short) dress that just covered her lower regions...her hair was sprawled all over the place and she wore way too much makeup...

"Newsflash, Kikyo! I didn't want to be fucking Homecoming Queen! I just went to Homecoming to have fun with my friends, unlike you who just seemed to come to win the title of Queen and 'get some' after the dance!"

"You little ignorant bitch! Why don't you go back to the hole you crawled out of, you are not wanted in this school or any where else for that matter!"

"Shut up, Kikyo! What do you know? I got good friends that I've already made in less than 2 days, including your little boyfriend Inuyasha! Now if you want to settle this right now we can..." Kagome almost growled as she brought up her fists.

"Ha ha ha ha...my kami, Kaggie...you got to be kidding me...you fight me?" Kikyo burst out in laughter even holding her side, as Kagome just looked a bit confused as Kikyo stopped abruptly getting a stern and serious face. "Listen, there's a tournament held every year for archery, we'll prove who's better...and if I win the tournament you can't associate with Inuyasha at all or I'll go after you if I need to."

"Again, with the threats...and I don't know how archery is going to solve all of this?"

"It's a simple yes or no, Kaggie. Are you going to choose or not?" Kikyo snarled bringing out her hand for an agreement as she watched Kagome, waiting for her answer.

"Ok...ok Kikyo..." Kagome said bringing out her hand and shaking it with Kikyo's. "And if I win you have to stay away from Inuyasha and do a little something in front of the school..."

"No problem...same with you...good luck, you'll need it!"

"Same with you." Kagome smiled as Kikyo all of a sudden screamed and brought her hand back to see nail (finger nail) marks on her hand and a bit of blood from the scratches.

"You little wench..." Kikyo snarled as she turned on her heel and walked towards the parking lot. Kagome couldn't help but begin to give a small laugh as she saw the stupid ass 17-year-old walk away, holding tightly onto her hand.

"Well, I'm going to take a walk...you can find the other's without me right?" Kagome said to Rin as she began to walk off.

"Um...I guess. A guy, pervert, can't keep his hands to himself, right?" Rin almost screamed as the distance between the two became farther apart.

"Right!" Kagome yelled back. "You're learning fast, young one..."

"Uh...sure..." Rin said as she stood up and walked back into the gym repeating to herself over and over. "Guy, pervert, can't keep hands to himself..."

Kagome walked to the back of the school to where her, Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha would eat lunch. She went up to the bench next to the old tree and climbed on top lying with her back down on the bench as she began looking up at the sky.

"I can explain this day in two simple words..." Kagome sighed to herself. "It sucks..."

"It does suck, especially when the fight you're winning is broken up and you get a stupid ass detention again..." Inuyasha said in a bit of a kind voice, which startled Kagome making her, sit up on the bench and look in ever direction.

"I know I'm not hallucinating...I heard you, Inuyasha...but...where the hell are you?" Kagome asked as she moved sideways resting her feet on the seat of the bench, still looking for the silver haired demon.

"You were just looking at the sky and you still couldn't see me? Try looking at the tree you stupid wench."

"And the asshole returns..." Kagome said simply as she looked at the tree to see Inuyasha stand up and jump next to her on the bench.

"So what are you doing out here? I thought you'd be on your way home or something..."

"Humph...I should be asking the same thing..." Kagome face turned concerned as she remembered earlier and turned completely towards Inuyasha. "You're such an asshole you know that..."

"What the hell did I..." Inuyasha couldn't finish as Kagome embraced him in a small hug.

"But a wonderful, sincere, caring asshole..." Kagome mumbled into his chest, but he was still able to make it out.

"Oh thanks for the compliment..." Inuyasha actually smiled as he hugged the girl back, a small blush filled his face as well as hers as she began to realize what she was doing.

"I'm so sorry..." Kagome said backing away, Inuyasha catching the blush on her face.

"It's...it's okay...I liked the hug..." Inuyasha mentally kicked himself; luckily no one else was outside for any one to be able to hear the conversation the two were having. 'Damn, why am I acting this way?'

Kagome blushed even more as she became silent, Inuyasha of course breaking the silence.

"So why did you move to Tokyo?"

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"I'm just wondering...any way why did you or are you not able to answer?"

"Well...the thing is that...my dad he well..." Kagome's voice turned into a mumble as tears formed in her eyes. "He passed away and my grandfather...he well...let us move in...with him, it's been a big help..."

'Oh Kami...she's crying...' Inuyasha thought as she heard her answer but didn't blame her... "Please don't cry, Kagome..." Inuyasha tried soothing her and brought up a hand but it was pushed away.

"I'm not crying!"

"Are to."

"I am not!"

"I can smell your fucking tears, you wench!"

"Shut up! You're beginning to freak me out with that scent of yours...its not even funny..."

"Well would you like me to drive you home?"

"Huh?"

"Yes or no, wench?"

"What happened to you calling me Kagome is that over now? And nice change of subject all of a sudden!" Kagome yelled as she stood up and shivered a bit. Inuyasha just growled and mumbled a bit as he brought off his tux jacket throwing it over on Kagome.

"Here, you seem cold..."

"Thanks, but I'm not..."

"Don't even try saying it..." Inuyasha cut in as he pushed Kagome's back a bit causing her to get startled again.

"Wh...What are you doing?"

"I'm driving you home! What does it look like?"

"I don't want to answer that, any way I never gave you an answer!"

"So, I don't care! I gave the answer for you!" Inuyasha said still pushing her.

"Ok, well I can at least walk without people still touching me!" Kagome yelled as she walked ahead of Inuyasha. "Oh...thanks...I don't know why but telling you about my dad...made me feel better...so, thanks..."

"Um..." Inuyasha just looked confused as he watched Kagome and realized something. "Wait, my car is in the other direction!"

"I knew that!"

"Sure..."
