Love is Never Easy: Chapter 8
Information...somewhat..
Kagome got halfway to the stairs when someone spoke. "Oh and Kagome." Kagome turned and looked. "Ya Aya?" "Give'm hell." Kagome smiled, "I wouldn't give'm anything less."

Kagome had carefully made sure that when she left class she went in the opposite direction of the cafeteria and just like she thought Inuyasha was following her. Everything was going according to plan. When she got back to class the teacher tried to chew her out for being gone so long but she snapped at him before he really had the chance to give her a detention or anything. The school was already spreading rumors. And best of all, Inuyasha didn't know she could sense his demon aura and if she couldn't she would have never known he was following her. Occasionally she looked behind her, but his with his speed he always dodged her sight. She walked outside the back way and went straight to the motorcycle Aya had moved into position for her along with her helmet.
Inuyasha watched with curiousity. 'How the hell did her bike get there. And I never saw her get her helmet.' "What the hell is going on?" Woops. Inuyasha threw his hands over his mouth. Kagome had just grabbed her helmet and spun around. 'Here we go.' She put on a disgusted look and sneered. "You again? What the fuck do you want now?" Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and stormed over to Kagome. "What do I want?! I want to know what the fucking hell is going on?"
Kagome eyes quickly darted to the bushes where she saw a flash of orange then back to Inuyasha. Aya was watching her to make sure everything went well probably, or didn't have time to get away. "You should be more specific. And yelling wont get you anywhere it will only attract attention. So when you get your thoughts straightened out you can either come to me...or", Kagome looked to the bush again, "someone might come to you." Kagome put on the helmet and hopped onto the bike. She turned it on and the noise made Inuyasha snap back to reality. "Wait Kagome! What do you mean?! Who will-" Kagome gave Inuyasha one look then sped off before he could finish his sentence.
Aya took Kagome's words as a signal and waited for her to leave. "Who will come?" Inuyasha whispered Now it was time for her to put on a show. Aya concentrated and used her power to hover in the air and approached Inuyasha. "I believe Kagome was speaking about me." She said in an innocent voice. Inuyasha turned down and almost tumbled backwards. Aya giggled 'oh my god I'm going to have to kill myself now' "You want to know what's wrong with Kagome right? Why she started acting so bad? And what you need to do to get her back?" "How..how did you know?" "I'll answer that another time. First yours answers. First of all, Kagome got sight of what happened last night, and it wasn't the first time she had seen you talking with Kikyo. Each time it hurts her, each time more and more. Last night was the end for her Inuyasha."
Inuyasha sat there stunned. He never knew Kagome had seen him. Not that it meant anything, he was always rude to Kikyo, but he probably lingered to long each time. Aya looked hovered curiously for a moment. "Well I guess that technically answer the second question. To answer the first one, back something happened at the temple and when she got home. Though the two events probably shouldn't have meant much, it impaired her ability to trust. Even to trust the man she loves." "Wait!... Kagome loves..." Aya giggled "You, yes Inuyasha, she loves you. But she doesn't trust you. And to answer the third, you must regain her trust." Inuyasha looked up at her. "How?" "Inuyasha, I have already said too much, that you must figure out on your own." With that Aya disappeared leaving Inuyasha confused, curious and speechless.
He had just been spoken to by a girl hovering in mid-air who he assumed must have been a miko since she knew about Kagome and he had never seen her before. He had learned that Kagome loved him but didn't trust him. And to win her back he had to regain her trust, he just didn't know how. "...This is going to be a looooong week."

Aya reappeared in Kagome's room laughing her head off. "I assume it went well?" "Quite well, actually, Kagome." Kagome was sitting at her desk doing work and Aya had "landed" on her bed. "So what did you tell him?" ...*three minutes later* "YOU TOLD HIM WHAT?!?!?!?!" Aya had several pieces of furniture separating her a big dark blotch of energy surrounding Kagome. "He was going to find out sooner or later." Kagome calmed and so did her aura. "I would rather it have been later rather then sooner." She huffed. "Kagome you couldn't keep in from him forever. You were going to tell him eventually anyways."
"So you told him I loved him AND you told him about my family abandoning?" "Touched, touched on your family leaving." "Great", Kagome slid to the ground as Aya replaced the furniture, "I was hoping to just up my reputation over the next few days. Not up my new rep and avoid Inuyasha." "Oh you'll be seeing him sooner then you think." Kagome glance at Aya. "What else did you do?" "I didn't do anything. You're the one who has to go around picking fights. You have one in an hour and a half." "Oh...right...can't I just shoot the slutty whore with an arrow and solve all of mankind's problems."
Aya practically keeled over laughing. "Oh my god." "What?!" Aya spoke in a mock tone, "Kagome. Excellent archer. Powerful miko. And a temper that could make even the strongest demons quake in their boots accompanied by a flare for ending things the quickest way possible." Kagome huffed then her anger to sadness and she slouched and sat on the ground. "Ya know if Inuyasha saw me right now he pick me up in his arms and hold me." Aya looked softly at her friend. "Come on Kag." "I told you not to call me that." "Oh...right. Sorry."

2:59 and a crowd had already gathered in the front school yard. How everyone knew of the fight was beyond Inuyasha. The clock tower rang three and the crowd parted for Kikyo's entrance into the center. Normally her "clique" would have been with her but they were all currently in the hospital. Kikyo scoffed as the bell tower struck three. "Figured. The coward didn't show up." "Think before you speak Kikyo." Everyone, that is everyone but three, looked around. The heard her voice but didn't see her. Sango and Miroku looked to Inuyasha who just merely shrugged and said, "Voice projection." Sango and Miroku "ooo"ed.
"Well isn't someone smart." Kagome appeared with Aya behind her in front of Kikyo. The whispers already started. "You sure you wanna do this Kikyo? I don't think you have anything that could match the power of this miko." Kagome sent off some energy that sent a shiver down everyone's spine. Kikyo stepped back. "Your right Kagome, I didn't think you were actually a miko. So what do you say we reschedule for when this would be a fair fight?" Kagome smirked and looked over at Aya who nodded. "Okay, Kikyo. Next Monday. Same time. Same place." And with a snap her and Aya were gone.
Gossip spread as people walked away. "Kikyo's got something up her sleeve." Sango said looking over to Inuyasha. "What should we do?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha folded his arms. "You think you two can handle keeping an eye on her while I go watch over Kagome? There something strange going on, and I'm not just talking about her attitude and I'm gonna find out what." They both nodded, spying on Kikyo and catching her was always good fun for them. Inuyasha leaped off. He was headed home then to Kagome's. he had to get some advice though and he was hoping a certain someone was home. And Miroku and Sango went to go get some spying equipment from... guess where?... that's right...Miroku's house.

Okay, I know that this is really, really short. A lot shorter compared to my other chapters but I was gone all weekend, didn't get to write, and I wanted to update. I have finals this week so that means no updates cause I'll be to busy with frickin' studies! Uh, that and since I'm a junior I am also studying for the SAT so in the event of updates on a weekly basis they will be short for the most part, but they will be updates. Don't forget to review
