NOTE FROM AUTHOR: The
characters are out of characters, not exactly their selves; still the
same people, but with different family's backgrounds, and others.
Anyhow, although I use these characters as bait, but I DO NOT OWN
THEM! But, I do control them...Yes, this mean I can make them eat
shit if I want to.
It has been long since they've
been alone like this. To Ichi it might be just hanging out, and a
crash at the mall for some gifts, but to Kagome it is a secret
date.
"Hey!" came a voice from afar, but the distance
between Ichi and Kagome isn't far from it.
"Sup." Said
Ichi, she could see that he is waving at whoever it is that was
speaking to them.
"What are you guys doing in the mall so
early?"
"To shop."
"This early?"
"Yup! It got
to be done."
"Hi ugly girl." Said the voice, she didn't
turns to look at him until now. She was pissed, she was really
pissed. It was suppose to be a date. It is very rare that she could
be alone with Ichi like this, and he just got to comes here and
ruined it.
"Hi InuYasha." She said almost coldly, though she
tries to sound calm. It was acting, but it has to be done. This guy
has something against her, but he's Ichi's best friend. And any
friend of Ichi's, suppose friend of hers. And what's with him
always calling her ugly girl? What a nuisance. "How are you?" she
said with a small smiles, a hand was raises and tucks some loose
strands behind her ears.
"Just hanging, what you're doing
with ugly girl?" said InuYasha. He was looking at her, but then he
turns to Ichi. Again with his insult, what is this guy problem? It is
starting to annoy her.
Forcing a smiles, "Like Ichi had
said before, we're shopping!" her eyes was narrows once she had
spoken those words. It seems to surprises InuYasha too, for he had
taken a step back.
"Okay, bye then." He said, walking
pass them, he whispers to her, "Why acting so fake? It is ugly, and
disgusting. But, it is interesting." He said, and disappears into
the crowd.Fake? Ugly? Disgusting? Interesting? What is this
guy problem! Kagome wants to slap him. He had always picks on her
since Junior high. InuYasha and Ichi are totally different. Ichi is
smart, athletic, and popular. While InuYasha on the other hand is
total asshole, though his grades are much higher than her; that
annoyed her, he hardly seems to do anything at all! He's always
missing from school. Though his grades average is 98, and hers is
68.
"Uh, yes..." she said, almost blushing.
"Let's go." Said he, while offering a hand to her, Kagome took it, without hesitation, it is just a friendly hand-holding right? It is okay. She shouldn't think so much, but his hand is so big, and strong, it makes her blush. They're holding hand as if they're dating.
"Over there..." came Ichi voice, his finger was also pointing at "Old School." That store is perfect for his mum. The woman is totally rad, so it should be okay. While they were heading toward the stores, some upper class girls from her school was looking at them. They look angry, but of course. It is because of Ichi, quickly she draws her hand away from him, "What?" he said, surprises by her sudden action.
"Uh, nothing. Let's not do this. We're not dating." Said Kagome, her head lower, she's already being picked on enough, because Ichi and she are so familiar with each other.
"What's wrong with you?" Ichi said, clearly he was annoy, "You been acting strange lately." He said, his tone rises with anger, he wouldn't understand. And she won't tell him.
"I said it is nothing!" she spats, that was like her usual self, unlike this whole morning when she tries to act so different, so that she could compete against the other girls.
Upon her rage, she could see a smiles form onto Ichi's lips. She was gazing at it by now, wanting to kiss it for the longest time; wanting him to be her first. "This kind of expression looks better on you." Ichi said coolly, leaning back against the glass window of the store. "I keep feeling that this face of yours is just too cute!"
Kagome almost felt
like crying, she doesn't have to compete against anything. She
already has him. Ichi was already hers; they could talk normally,
unlike other girls. She could be close to him, without him trying to
act like a total different person. She manages to smiles, and pounces
on him playfully, "Idiot." She said with one of her usual
expression. It was a playful one. The one she usually uses with him
as a child. When she was still carefree, and knows not of love. And
she doesn't feel the way she felt every time she was close to him.
She didn't feel nostalgic; she didn't feel the need to hold him.
But now...Kagome does. She wants to hold him, and it wouldn't be a
problem either. She knows that Ichi would hug her back, but it would
only mean in a friendly way.
After hours at the store, they
had picked out a blouse, and a soft crème color Capri pant for
Ichi's mum. It look rather cute, casual, but cute. "Let's go
grab some grubs." Said Ichi, the bags dangling at his wrist, while
his freed hand was tucks in his back pocket; why does he always look
so gorgeous in everything that he does?
"Yo!" again a
voice came from afar. Already she could tell it is that idiot
InuYasha. He lives in the same house as Ichi's. Kagome had never
really understood why. All she knew was that InuYasha have bad
experiences at home, so that he need to move, and lives with Ichi.
"Sup? Still here?"
"Yup. What are you and ugly girl going
to do next?"
"Food, want some? My treat."
"Sure,
anything free is my friend."
Stunned, What? He can't be
eating with them... "Don't you have some other business to
attend?" Kagome said, she was not at all embarrassed for saying
something like that. She wants him to go away so she could be alone
with Ichi. And she's aware that they both know this, except for
Ichi.
She admits Ichi is smart, but he's clueless in the
romance department.
"Ugly girl, shut up." InuYasha said, he
was being an asshole again. "We're eating together." He said,
leaning toward her, she could smell the sweats on him, she could see
his eyes. Kagome have never notices he had such dark eyes. Or that he
was any cute, but he is. Now that she gotten a closer look
"What?" said InuYasha, "Don't look at me like that, you
pervert." He said pinching her cheeks.
"Stop that!" she
throws her fist at him, to push him away, but he easily caught her
fist like it was nothing. While InuYasha and she were talking, Ichi
had already gone over to one of the shop to fetch some food, "See
what you did!" she shouts, "You're being a nuisance!"
"More likely, you are." InuYasha said, with a hateful smirks on
his lips, "You likes Ichi, don't you ugly girl?" he said, his
face was now draws very close to her.
"Uh, no...What are you
talking about."
"Good then," he said, and presses his lips
against her, the bastard is stealing her first kiss. Pushing him
away, she slaps him across the face, soon after her hand was raises,
wiping her lips. "What the hell was that!" she said,
almost chokes. He forced her! He had stolen her first kiss! The
bastard! And she wasn't smart enough to get out of embrace, before
it was too late. Kagome was part angry with herself, and part angry
with him.
"You know what, forget it. Tell Ichi I'm going
home." With that InuYasha left her there standing. Kagome couldn't
understand him. One minute he was being a jerk, the next he was
something else. She wants to know, she wants to understand, but at
that moment. She also realizes, she doesn't understand Ichi either.
She might like him, and he's her best friend, but she doesn't
understand him. That thought scared her. She thought they were close,
but now she realizes...The distance in their feelings are every
far.
"Sup?" Said Ichi, he came holding a tray of food.
"Nothing, InuYasha left. He said he's going home." Kagome said,
leaving out the reason why. She feel guilty for having to do so,
InuYasha is going to tell Ichi why he left after all, right? They
live in the same house.
They ate in peace, but she couldn't
pull her thought away from InuYasha, what does his intension mean? It
is a blur to her, and she wants to know.
