Love Hurts No Matter What
-Chapter 3-
"STOP CALLING!!"
Life is tough no matter what kind of life it is. No matter what kind of friends you have, no matter if love fits in the picture. Life is tough, even though you think it's perfect which may not be true if you think so. Some people wish to be perfect just to show off something they're really good at, or just not committing any sins. Kagome hasn't done anything like that, but she still talks bad to Inuyasha and says how much she says it even though you have to love your worst enemy no matter how much you hate him.
But Kagome wishes that rule of God doesn't exist, even though it would be a sin, she wants to hate Inuyasha. But then she realized the old saying: The ones you hurt is the ones you love. Hate is such a strong word that it can hurt someone, so in other words, she loves Inuyasha if she says she hates him. So instead, she dislikes Inuyasha more then anything in the world. If she needed help for anything in the world and Inuyasha was the last person on earth, she wouldn't ask him for help EVER!!
Life may be tough because you make it tough. But is Kagome making her life tough? Hm...maybe! But then again, maybe not! Kouga hits her, Inuyasha is....an idiot Inuyasha, her dad and brother left her, but her older brother is still around somewhere in the city. ( I'm not going to tell you who her older brother is!)
But in PE, the swimming thing, Kouga is still getting his swim suit on and Kagome is waiting outside in the open and outside of the pool. Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango were standing in one group like always. Kagome looked in that direction and waved to Sango, she waved back. But then Kagome spotted Inuyasha's chest. Well built....nice looking...HEY!! What is she thinking!? She can't fall for Inuyasha again! Not in a million YEARS!!
But where Inuyasha was standing, he saw Kagome looking at him, and when he met her eyes, she quickly blushed and turned her head away. He didn't know why she was blushing or why she was staring blankly at him. He's only in his swim suit, what's there to look at!? Oh yeah.....the chest!
"All right now!" Said the Couch. "Get ready for your new partners for today! Like of course, I'll be announcing the teams of two. Miroku and Sango!" Miroku was filled with joy and Sango shudder with horror. They are good friends but she also knew Miroku has a crush on her and that he's a pervert. "Kagura and Kanna! Kouga and....Kikyo!"
Kouga nor Kikyo didn't like the idea of that. Kagome heard on what the Couch said was very scary. But not really....Kikyo told her the history of her and Kouga. And that part of history doesn't sound good at all unless she does something like break up with him or something. While she was in deep thought, she didn't hear Hojo and Kohaku teamed up. But she did heard something about Sesshomaru and Rin teaming up. But who's the last group....oh! Of course....it's....
"Kagome and Inuyasha!!"
"Oh great!" Said Inuyasha right after the Couch called his name and Kagome's. "Why did I have to be stuck with the wench!?"
"If you hate it so much then ask to switch with Sango! I would be better with her then you!" Angered Kagome.
"Fine! I will! Couch, I-"
"And don't even think about asking to switch with anyone! The partner you're with will be the partner till the end of the school year!" Announced the Couch.
"WHAT!?" Screamed Inuyasha and Kagome.
"Those are my rules. Deal with it!"
The Couch left the two of them standing there alone. Next to each....the two people who couldn't stand each other. Who knows what's going to happen.
"All right! Get in the water with your partner! Let your partner swim to the other end of you. Let one person get the kick board before you start." Kagome swam to the other side of the pool and stared at Inuyasha all the way at the other end. Before she start, she jumped out real quick and got the kick board and jumped back in the pool.
"Okay...we're going to have a relay race. If you have the kick board, you have to do the flutter kick all the way to your partner, and then your partner has to do the flutter kick back to the other end. If your team wins, you can get out of this pool 20 min. early and do whatever you want in the gym. Basket ball, volley ball, tennis....whatever!"
"[That wench better come here first! I want to get out of this stupid pool!]" Said Inuyasha.
But here's the thing, Kagome is a little of a slow swimmer because of the bruises she has. Inuyasha could see a little bit of them on the arms and legs but has no idea how. He knew she was clusmy so that could probably be it.
"On your mark! Get set...." The couch blew the whistle and everybody went off with the kick boards in their hands. Kagome tried to kick as hard as she could to Inuyasha but it was very difficult. She doesn't swim much these days so that's why. All she had to remember is to move her hips in the water along with the legs so she can go faster.
Right now....she was in thrid place, Kagura is behind her, and Hojo is last, Sango is ahead of her and Kouga is in first place. Kagome tried to swim with all of the strength in her body.
She was so tired that she didn't realized the kick board was no longer in her hands. She stopped and looked in front of her, the end of the pool? She looked behind her and saw Inuyasha kicking already. He must've took the kick board when she wasn't paying attention. She just watched Inuyasha kicking his way through the water. Kagome knew Inuyasha is a fast swimmer, the fastest boy in the class for swimming. But Kouga is also a fast swimmer, lucky they're not in compition.
Inuyasha seems to want to win the relay because he hates swimming. From Kagome's standing, Inuyasha is the first one in the lead. Kagome didn't care if they win or not. She just wants to get home.
Then the couch blew the whistle again, Kagome started to swim to where Inuyasha is because the couch was in front of him. They all looked up to the couch to hear who won.
"Let's see....according to the other life guards, they claim Inuyasha and Kagome won the relay. Great job, you two!" Said the Couch.
Inuyasha crossed his arms over his chest. "Whatever!"
Kagome looked up at the sky, praying to God for this day to end right now. She can't stand to be with Inuyasha this long. Lucky for her and Inuyasha, they got out of the pool 20 min. before class ends and the day will be free. Meaning they'll all go home!
Inuyasha and Kagome went into the gym and had no idea what to do. Kagome just wanted to go home right now, while Inuyasha just grabbed a basketball and started to bounce it. It echoed in the gym which was getting very annoying.
"Will you stop that!? I can't think while your bouncing that ball!" Said Kagome.
"Oooooh! Am I interupting your thinking space!?" Said Inuyasha, sarcastically.
"YES!!"
"Then go outside!!"
"No, you go outside!"
Inuyasha threw the ball at Kagome, it took her off-guard but she caught it. "You're the one going outside!!"
Kagome got angrier. She saw Inuyasha went to fetch another basketball. That's when she had her oppurtunity. She threw the ball at Inuyasha's back.
Inuyasha stopped and let the ball dropped to the floor and let it bounce to his side. But for some reason, he just fetched the basketball and turend around with a smirk on his face to face her.
"Fine...you wanna play hard ball, you got it!" Said Inuyasha.
"It's too late! I already got you out, baka!" Angered Kagome.
"Since when we're playing dodge ball?"
"When I threw the ball at you!!"
"Fine! This calls for war!!"
"Fine!! I'll use my strength just to hurt you!!"
In 5 minutes, all the balls were out. Basketballs, volleyballs, baseballs, tennisballs. It's....Ball War....
(3:30 PM)
Twenty minutes later, everyone else came back in the gym with their hair wet. Some of them still had towels in their hair to leave the dust or bugs out. They all realized something in the gym. All of the balls were out and scattered everywhere. They looked at the people who has caused all of this mess and they saw Inuyasha and Kagome huffing and puffing very hard.
"You want to start again wench!!" Shouted Inuyasha.
"I would love to, dog boy!!" Kagome shouted back.
But the thing is they were both tired because the balls caused a few bruises on their body. They both picked up the balls but didn't throw it. They both fell to their knees, hands on the ground to keep their balance while still trying to catch their breath.
"WHAT HAPPENED HERE!?" Shouted the couch.
Everybody looked at him and saw the surprised look on his face. He walked passed them and headed to Inuyasha and Kagome.
"That's it! You two stay after school and clean up this mess!!" Commanded the couch.
"Do we HAVE to Couch?" Asked Inuyasha.
"Yes, because you two made this mess up! School is over anyway, SO CLEAN UP THIS MESS RIGHT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!"
"Sorry Kouga. I knew we were suppose to study together, but it looks like I have to stay after school again...." said Kagome right after the couch was done yelling at her and Inuyasha.
Kouga sighed and put his hand on her shoulder and gave it a hard squeeze. That didn't felt right. Was Kouga angry with her? If he is, that's not good at all! She looked at Kouga but his eyes were closed. She was afraid once again. She wanted to cry but she couldn't because the other kids will question her why she's crying.
The others were gone except for Inuyasha, putting away the other balls and mumbling something about Kagome being a stupid wench.
"Kagome, when-" Kouga started out but then he got interupted.
"WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO HELP OUT, WENCH!!" Shouted Inuyasha, who was a couple feet away from the couple.
"I'LL HELP OUT ONCE I'M DONE TALKING TO KOUGA, BAKA!!!" Kagome shouted back at him with much anger she had before. She turned her attention back at Kouga, who's hand was still on her shoulder and squeezing it harder. She felt a little pain from it.
Finally, he opened his eyes. "Kagome, when you're done with this mess, go home and call me so we can have a little talk!" Said Kouga. But the tone of his voice was a warning. She knew he is angrier then before. He let his hand fall to his side and walked out of the gym leaving her there with Inuyasha all alone in the gym.
Kagome turned back to Inuyasha and started to pick up the tennis balls that were all over the floor.
"Are you just going to pick those up!? Pick up the basketballs too, wench!" Commanded Inuyasha.
"Shut up before I throw another ball at you, baka!" Said Kagome.
"I don't care because that'll cause me to throw another ball at you!!"
"Go ahead and do it! I'll just tell the Couch what you did and you'll probably have to stay for detention!!"
He opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. He has been defeated once again. He just bend down to pick up more balls around him and put them away so he can get more. Kagome did the same thing but putting up the small ones and then the big ones. Inuyasha was getting frustrated with her, but all he wanted to ask her was how did she get those bruises. She couldn't have tripped and fall on a rock or something.
"Oy...."
"WHAT!" Shouted Kagome.
"Where did you get those bruises?"
Kagome didn't answer. Inuyasha knew she was hesitating, but for what? Even though they're not a couple anymore, he'll protect her because she was once in his territory, and that still claims her as property. So he deserves to know, right?
"It's....none of your business!"
"OY! You're still my property so I should know!!"
"You don't have to know anything! This kind of thing is none of your business!!"
She grabbed her things and left the school gym to go home, leaving Inuyasha to clean the rest of the mess. She knew if she stayed any longer, he would keep asking about the bruises. Since when did she became part of his property? It sounds more like a dog to her!!
Inuyasha just watched her leave the gym, kind of limping on the way out from where he's standing. Maybe she was really tired after the Ball War. But all was in his mind is who gave her those bruises? It couldn't be her older brother because he is somewhere in the city doing some kind of job. Her little brother, Souta, couldn't have done this because he was too little and probably doesn't know about this kind of things.
All there was left out of the choices was her father and her 'boyfriend' Kouga. But he has heard recently that her father took Souta after Kagome's mother died of cancer. So the only choice would be....Kouga. Looks like someone has to question someone soon. But then he realized something....
"OY!! YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO HELP ME CLEAN UP THIS MESS!!!" Inuyasha shouted, his voice echoed in the gym.
(6:30 PM)
Kagome got home a couple of hours later, slamming the door and throwing her stuff on the couch. Now she was angry for once, angry at Inuyasha for being SO nosy! He doesn't deserve to know EVERY SINGLE thing that's a part of her life. She can't even believe he asked her that question. Who can blame her? It wasn't her fault that her swim suit can cover the bruises that were showing.
"Jerk! Idiot!!"
She kicked the wall, which she shouldn't have done because now it caused pain in her toe.
Why do these things keep happening to her!?
But now...she decided to put that aside and went to check the answering machine. She pressed the gray button and listen to the messages she has received. All of them were from her older brother.....Bankotsu.
"Hey Kagome! It's Bankotsu! Call me back!" "Kagome! Are you even home or are you just ignoring me!?" "Kagome, this is urgent. I need to talk to you!" "I'm kind of getting tired of calling you right now! Pick up the phone!"
End of messages....
"How many times does he have to call anyway?" Kagome asked to herself. She started to walk to one of her cabinets to get something to eat. But before she could get her hands on anything, the phone rang. It could be Kouga because he did say he wanted the both of them to talk. But she was afraid to answer the phone. She picked it up. "Hello?"
"Finally! I thought I would never get a hold of you!!"
"What do you want, Bankotsu!?"
"Hey, who said I can't call and check up on my little sister every once and a while?"
"But you haven't called for over eight MONTHS!!! WHAT IS SO URGENT THAT YOU NEED TO TALK TO ME ABOUT!!"
"I just want to know who's your boyfriend right now. Thats all!"
"I don't have a boyfriend!"
"What happened to Inuyasha?"
"He found someone else!" Of course it's all a lie but she doesn't want Bankotsu to know. Plus, if he knew about Kouga he would probably do some kind of research, he did the samething to Inuyasha to make sure it was safe for her to date that guy.
"Nah....you're bad at lying Kagome. Who is your boyfriend?"
"Why do you have to know anyway!? It's not like you care about me anymore!!" She hanged up the phone, hoping that Bankotsu won't call back again to try and get the information. But every five minutes, he kept calling and calling. Kagome knew all of those calls were from him because he leaves his messages on the answer machine. She didn't want to pick it up because she knew it would be him.
So for the rest of the night, she was doing her homework and studing for that test which is coming up soon. She tried to ignore the calls, but when she had enough of it, she picked up the phone and started to yell in it.
"WILL YOU JUST STOP CALLING!!" Kagome shouted.
"What are you talking about? This is the first time I called!" Kagome thought she heard a familiar voice but she was hoping it wasn't him.
"[Inuyasha?] Why did you call me anyway!?"
"Because you just left me in the gym PICKING UP all of the sports balls, baka! What the heck is wrong with you!"
"Nothing is wrong with me!! So don't ask anything!"
"Yeah right! You got pissed off when I asked you about the bruises you got!"
"That's because it's none of your business!!"
"Yes it is! I deserve to know at least what's going on in your life!!"
"YOU DO NOT!!! THIS PROBLEM IS ONLY BETWEEN ME AND KOUGA!!"
"What does this have to do with Kouga!?"
Kagome had done it. She was speaking too much. It's what you call a big mouth. "Like I said before, THIS IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!"
"DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO YELL AT ME!!" Inuyasha just had to yell back right at her.
"YES BECAUSE YOU KEEP BUTTING INTO MY BUSINESS WHICH IS NONE OF YOURS!! SO STAY OUT OF MY PRIVATE LIFE, AND STAY AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
She hang up the phone and bang the phone on the counter. Now Kagome was really pissed. She hated it when people butt-in to people's business because they're just so nosy and want to gossip about it. But then, the phone rang again. Now she wanted to yell in Inuyasha's ear so he can become death for the next 5 years. She pressed the button and put the phone to her ear.
"WHY WON'T YOU STOP CALLING ME!!" Kagome shouted in the mouth piece.
"Hey! Why are you yelling at your older brother for!" Bankotsu just had to do that. That's only to get Kagome even more pissed off.
"Why do you keep calling me anyway!? I won't you to stay out of my private life!" Kagome started to sniff and shed a tear. Bankotsu could her that over the phone.
"Hey....Why are you crying? If I did something to upset you, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-"
"It's not that! I'm just tired of everybody wanting to know everything what's going on!! And that includes you!!" She hang up on him again and threw the phone to the wall. Which broke into pieces. She didn't know how much anger she had in her to actually destroy something. Why did she throw the phone anyway? "Great! Now I have to buy a new phone."
But the thing is, she didn't want to blame it on Inuyasha or Bankotsu. It's not really their fault, is it? She was the one who threw the phone and made it crash into the wall and broke into little pieces. She'll just take responsibility of it and use her money for another phone.
Piece of cake!
Maybe....

"STOP CALLING!!"
Life is tough no matter what kind of life it is. No matter what kind of friends you have, no matter if love fits in the picture. Life is tough, even though you think it's perfect which may not be true if you think so. Some people wish to be perfect just to show off something they're really good at, or just not committing any sins. Kagome hasn't done anything like that, but she still talks bad to Inuyasha and says how much she says it even though you have to love your worst enemy no matter how much you hate him.
But Kagome wishes that rule of God doesn't exist, even though it would be a sin, she wants to hate Inuyasha. But then she realized the old saying: The ones you hurt is the ones you love. Hate is such a strong word that it can hurt someone, so in other words, she loves Inuyasha if she says she hates him. So instead, she dislikes Inuyasha more then anything in the world. If she needed help for anything in the world and Inuyasha was the last person on earth, she wouldn't ask him for help EVER!!
Life may be tough because you make it tough. But is Kagome making her life tough? Hm...maybe! But then again, maybe not! Kouga hits her, Inuyasha is....an idiot Inuyasha, her dad and brother left her, but her older brother is still around somewhere in the city. ( I'm not going to tell you who her older brother is!)
But in PE, the swimming thing, Kouga is still getting his swim suit on and Kagome is waiting outside in the open and outside of the pool. Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango were standing in one group like always. Kagome looked in that direction and waved to Sango, she waved back. But then Kagome spotted Inuyasha's chest. Well built....nice looking...HEY!! What is she thinking!? She can't fall for Inuyasha again! Not in a million YEARS!!
But where Inuyasha was standing, he saw Kagome looking at him, and when he met her eyes, she quickly blushed and turned her head away. He didn't know why she was blushing or why she was staring blankly at him. He's only in his swim suit, what's there to look at!? Oh yeah.....the chest!
"All right now!" Said the Couch. "Get ready for your new partners for today! Like of course, I'll be announcing the teams of two. Miroku and Sango!" Miroku was filled with joy and Sango shudder with horror. They are good friends but she also knew Miroku has a crush on her and that he's a pervert. "Kagura and Kanna! Kouga and....Kikyo!"
Kouga nor Kikyo didn't like the idea of that. Kagome heard on what the Couch said was very scary. But not really....Kikyo told her the history of her and Kouga. And that part of history doesn't sound good at all unless she does something like break up with him or something. While she was in deep thought, she didn't hear Hojo and Kohaku teamed up. But she did heard something about Sesshomaru and Rin teaming up. But who's the last group....oh! Of course....it's....
"Kagome and Inuyasha!!"
"Oh great!" Said Inuyasha right after the Couch called his name and Kagome's. "Why did I have to be stuck with the wench!?"
"If you hate it so much then ask to switch with Sango! I would be better with her then you!" Angered Kagome.
"Fine! I will! Couch, I-"
"And don't even think about asking to switch with anyone! The partner you're with will be the partner till the end of the school year!" Announced the Couch.
"WHAT!?" Screamed Inuyasha and Kagome.
"Those are my rules. Deal with it!"
The Couch left the two of them standing there alone. Next to each....the two people who couldn't stand each other. Who knows what's going to happen.
"All right! Get in the water with your partner! Let your partner swim to the other end of you. Let one person get the kick board before you start." Kagome swam to the other side of the pool and stared at Inuyasha all the way at the other end. Before she start, she jumped out real quick and got the kick board and jumped back in the pool.
"Okay...we're going to have a relay race. If you have the kick board, you have to do the flutter kick all the way to your partner, and then your partner has to do the flutter kick back to the other end. If your team wins, you can get out of this pool 20 min. early and do whatever you want in the gym. Basket ball, volley ball, tennis....whatever!"
"[That wench better come here first! I want to get out of this stupid pool!]" Said Inuyasha.
But here's the thing, Kagome is a little of a slow swimmer because of the bruises she has. Inuyasha could see a little bit of them on the arms and legs but has no idea how. He knew she was clusmy so that could probably be it.

Inuyasha crossed his arms over his chest. "Whatever!"
Kagome looked up at the sky, praying to God for this day to end right now. She can't stand to be with Inuyasha this long. Lucky for her and Inuyasha, they got out of the pool 20 min. before class ends and the day will be free. Meaning they'll all go home!
Inuyasha and Kagome went into the gym and had no idea what to do. Kagome just wanted to go home right now, while Inuyasha just grabbed a basketball and started to bounce it. It echoed in the gym which was getting very annoying.

"Fine! This calls for war!!"
"Fine!! I'll use my strength just to hurt you!!"
In 5 minutes, all the balls were out. Basketballs, volleyballs, baseballs, tennisballs. It's....Ball War....
(3:30 PM)
Twenty minutes later, everyone else came back in the gym with their hair wet. Some of them still had towels in their hair to leave the dust or bugs out. They all realized something in the gym. All of the balls were out and scattered everywhere. They looked at the people who has caused all of this mess and they saw Inuyasha and Kagome huffing and puffing very hard.
"You want to start again wench!!" Shouted Inuyasha.
"I would love to, dog boy!!" Kagome shouted back.
But the thing is they were both tired because the balls caused a few bruises on their body. They both picked up the balls but didn't throw it. They both fell to their knees, hands on the ground to keep their balance while still trying to catch their breath.
"WHAT HAPPENED HERE!?" Shouted the couch.
Everybody looked at him and saw the surprised look on his face. He walked passed them and headed to Inuyasha and Kagome.
"That's it! You two stay after school and clean up this mess!!" Commanded the couch.
"Do we HAVE to Couch?" Asked Inuyasha.
"Yes, because you two made this mess up! School is over anyway, SO CLEAN UP THIS MESS RIGHT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!"
"Sorry Kouga. I knew we were suppose to study together, but it looks like I have to stay after school again...." said Kagome right after the couch was done yelling at her and Inuyasha.
Kouga sighed and put his hand on her shoulder and gave it a hard squeeze. That didn't felt right. Was Kouga angry with her? If he is, that's not good at all!

"I'LL HELP OUT ONCE I'M DONE TALKING TO KOUGA, BAKA!!!" Kagome shouted back at him with much anger she had before. She turned her attention back at Kouga, who's hand was still on her shoulder and squeezing it harder. She felt a little pain from it.

Kagome turned back to Inuyasha and started to pick up the tennis balls that were all over the floor.
"Are you just going to pick those up!? Pick up the basketballs too, wench!" Commanded Inuyasha.
"Shut up before I throw another ball at you, baka!" Said Kagome.
"I don't care because that'll cause me to throw another ball at you!!"

Her little brother, Souta, couldn't have done this because he was too little and probably doesn't know about this kind of things.
All there was left out of the choices was her father and her 'boyfriend' Kouga. But he has heard recently that her father took Souta after Kagome's mother died of cancer. So the only choice would be....Kouga. Looks like someone has to question someone soon. But then he realized something....

Why do these things keep happening to her!?
But now...she decided to put that aside and went to check the answering machine. She pressed the gray button and listen to the messages she has received. All of them were from her older brother.....Bankotsu.
"Hey Kagome! It's Bankotsu! Call me back!" "Kagome! Are you even home or are you just ignoring me!?" "Kagome, this is urgent. I need to talk to you!" "I'm kind of getting tired of calling you right now! Pick up the phone!"
End of messages....
"How many times does he have to call anyway?" Kagome asked to herself. She started to walk to one of her cabinets to get something to eat. But before she could get her hands on anything, the phone rang. It could be Kouga because he did say he wanted the both of them to talk. But she was afraid to answer the phone. She picked it up. "Hello?"
"Finally! I thought I would never get a hold of you!!"
"What do you want, Bankotsu!?"
"Hey, who said I can't call and check up on my little sister every once and a while?"
"But you haven't called for over eight MONTHS!!! WHAT IS SO URGENT THAT YOU NEED TO TALK TO ME ABOUT!!"
"I just want to know who's your boyfriend right now. Thats all!"
"I don't have a boyfriend!"
"What happened to Inuyasha?"
"He found someone else!" Of course it's all a lie but she doesn't want Bankotsu to know. Plus, if he knew about Kouga he would probably do some kind of research, he did the samething to Inuyasha to make sure it was safe for her to date that guy.
"Nah....you're bad at lying Kagome. Who is your boyfriend?"
"Why do you have to know anyway!? It's not like you care about me anymore!!" She hanged up the phone, hoping that Bankotsu won't call back again to try and get the information. But every five minutes, he kept calling and calling. Kagome knew all of those calls were from him because he leaves his messages on the answer machine. She didn't want to pick it up because she knew it would be him.
So for the rest of the night, she was doing her homework and studing for that test which is coming up soon. She tried to ignore the calls, but when she had enough of it, she picked up the phone and started to yell in it.
"WILL YOU JUST STOP CALLING!!" Kagome shouted.
"What are you talking about? This is the first time I called!" Kagome thought she heard a familiar voice but she was hoping it wasn't him.
"[Inuyasha?] Why did you call me anyway!?"
"Because you just left me in the gym PICKING UP all of the sports balls, baka! What the heck is wrong with you!"
"Nothing is wrong with me!! So don't ask anything!"
"Yeah right! You got pissed off when I asked you about the bruises you got!"
"That's because it's none of your business!!"
"Yes it is! I deserve to know at least what's going on in your life!!"
"YOU DO NOT!!! THIS PROBLEM IS ONLY BETWEEN ME AND KOUGA!!"
"What does this have to do with Kouga!?"
Kagome had done it. She was speaking too much. It's what you call a big mouth. "Like I said before, THIS IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!"
"DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO YELL AT ME!!" Inuyasha just had to yell back right at her.
"YES BECAUSE YOU KEEP BUTTING INTO MY BUSINESS WHICH IS NONE OF YOURS!! SO STAY OUT OF MY PRIVATE LIFE, AND STAY AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
She hang up the phone and bang the phone on the counter. Now Kagome was really pissed. She hated it when people butt-in to people's business because they're just so nosy and want to gossip about it. But then, the phone rang again. Now she wanted to yell in Inuyasha's ear so he can become death for the next 5 years. She pressed the button and put the phone to her ear.
"WHY WON'T YOU STOP CALLING ME!!" Kagome shouted in the mouth piece.
"Hey! Why are you yelling at your older brother for!" Bankotsu just had to do that. That's only to get Kagome even more pissed off.
"Why do you keep calling me anyway!? I won't you to stay out of my private life!" Kagome started to sniff and shed a tear. Bankotsu could her that over the phone.
"Hey....Why are you crying? If I did something to upset you, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-"
"It's not that! I'm just tired of everybody wanting to know everything what's going on!! And that includes you!!" She hang up on him again and threw the phone to the wall. Which broke into pieces. She didn't know how much anger she had in her to actually destroy something. Why did she throw the phone anyway? "Great! Now I have to buy a new phone."
But the thing is, she didn't want to blame it on Inuyasha or Bankotsu. It's not really their fault, is it? She was the one who threw the phone and made it crash into the wall and broke into little pieces. She'll just take responsibility of it and use her money for another phone.
Piece of cake!
Maybe....
