Love is Never Easy: Chapter 3


She Still Cares


'That' slut! Kagome hasn't been here five minutes and she's already ruining it, no wonder why she so angry. Kagome probably thinks I broke her promise...she probably thinks I forgot about her....'

Inuyasha couldn't wait for the class to be over with. He had already tried several times to get her attention. But the one time he did, he only ended up getting them both detention which made her only narrow her eyes more at him. Things were not going well and he only had Kikyo to blame. 'Why? Why did it have to be Kikyo that she met first?'


Kagome was seriously unhappy. First he breaks their promise then he gets her detention. What next? He probably remembered about her the second he heard her name and realized he screwed up. 'He's probably going to apologize and say he was wrong but found someone else. Damn Bastard.' Kagome just wanted to get away from him.


The bell rang a few minutes later. Kagome and Inuyasha both let out a sigh. Kagome got out before him, but he caught her in the hallway. "Kagome...Kagome?" She just ignored him and walked on so he grabbed her arm and spun her around to face him. "Kagome listen. It isn't want you think." "It isn't what I think huh? We made a promise and I kept to it! For the past ten years all I could think about was training so I can make it back here on time! And make it back to you!" Tears were forming in her eyes. "And I'm not here for five minutes before I find out that you are have a girlfriend! Well screw you, you damn demon! I hate you!"


Kagome stormed off with tears in her eyes. Inuyasha stood there speechless. Everyone withing eye and earshot was standing still speechless. Once Kagome disappeared, people started murmuring such things as "Can you believe it?" and "oh my god." Inuyasha just stood there. He was hurt, really hurt. If he didn't have a rep to keep up HE would start crying. Miroku and Sango came up behind him, "we heard. What happened?" (Sango) "Kikyo got to her first." Miroku and Sango both mouthed an "ooo".


Every knew the Kikyo had a thing for Inuyasha, but Inuyasha never gave her the time of day. In fact the only reason he didn't tell her off so much was because she looked similar to Kagome. But know Kagome was here and Kikyo knew she would instantly be pushed away and she didn't want that.

The bell rang for lunch and Kagome hurried out of her class, grabbed her lunch, and sat underneath a sakura (cherry blossom) tree. She looked up to find Inuyasha sitting down with two other people, one girl and one guy, not to far from her. She decided not to let in bother her even though she could feel Inuyasha watching her. She was just going to sit there and eat her lunch. It was bad enough that she has had ever class with him and always gets seated next to him, AND she had detention with him. It would seem like Fate was trying to tell her something.


"Hello there beautiful. My names Kouga." Kagome looked up to see a guy about Inuyasha height with black hair in a high ponytail, and blue eyes looking down at her. "Umm..hello." Kagome stood up to face "Listen I'm sure you are a nice guy and all. But I'm really not in the mood to be hit on right now." Kouga wrapped an arm around Kagome's waist and drew her to him. "Playing hard to get, I like that. I like you. Your going to be my woman from now on." "Eh?"


Inuyasha finally got fed up with it, "That's it I'm going over there!" Sango and Miroku just sighed and followed him as he marched over to Kagome and Kouga. He went right up behind kouga, "Let her go ya damn wolf.." Kouga turned around and glared at Inuyasha, "What do you care you pathetic half-breed?" Sango and Miroku grabbed onto Inuyasha before he could do anything. "Inuyasha, man, your in enough trouble." "Ya Inuyasha, you can't be in another fight." Kouga smirked, "See your friends know best. Besides no way I could be beaten by a half-breed." Inuyasha growled, but didn't get anywhere near Kouga, but Kouga was still thrown into a tree.


Everyone stared shocked as Kagome approached Kouga who was rising from the ground. "What the &%$!", "Just cause Inuyasha can't hurt you doesn't mean I can't. You have no right to call him a half-breed. No leave before you get hurt worse." Kouga just looked at Kagome, then glared at Inuyasha, "This isn't over." Then he walked off. Inuyasha ran up to Kagome. "Kagome.umm..." "Save it." "Hm?" "Save it Inuyasha. I might hate you for betraying our promise. But I still care about you."


Kagome picked up her lunch and walked off . Once she got well away from Inuyasha she turned aorund and saw him talking with his friends, and Kikyo approaching him. She whispered silently, "I still love you."
