DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha.
I know that in chapter seven I mentioned that Kikyo was cheating on Inuyasha with Naraku, but Naraku is her cousin. However, the situation would actually be explained in this chapter, so please, bear with me. I'm so sorry if I confused anyone. Please forgive me.
Chapter Sixteen: Naraku Enters the Picture
Naraku smirked as he entered the classroom. He looked around and finally spotted a raven-haired girl that looked very similar to Kikyo, but she was radiating with innocence. The girl was sitting very close to a sliver- haired young man, which he recognized as Inuyasha.
Naraku had arrived in Tokyo the previous night and paid a visit to Kikyo's house. His cousin had informed him of her deep hatred for a young girl that was called Kagome and her desire to regain Inuyasha.
Naraku knew that Kikyo had used him when they were in high school. He had agreed to help Kikyo retaliate at Kagura and pretended to make out with her in the hallway of their school. Kagura had been infatuated with Naraku, but since she and Kikyo were always competitive against each other and strove to earn the most popular title in the school, Kikyo decided to take her revenge on Kagura. Too bad Inuyasha had just talked to some of the other players on his football team and they had accidentally let it slip that Kikyo had indeed been flirting 'a little too far' with them. Inuyasha was mad at Kikyo for actually doing that behind his back, and with his team, no less. He was determined to go and break up with her because he would not tolerate an unfaithful girlfriend. He had just walked in the hallway when Kikyo had pretended to make out with her cousin. Inuyasha then decided to break up with her then and there. He was glad that he caught her in the act, no matter if she pretended or not. Kikyo was humiliated in front of the other students and she promised that she would take out her revenge on Inuyasha one day.
Naraku was still wary of Kikyo. He knew that she was used to manipulating people and using them to her advantage. But this time, he would make sure that whatever he did, he would win the ultimate prize.
When Kikyo had revealed her desires to him yesterday, he announced that he didn't care about getting Kagome, but he would want to take revenge on Inuyasha for actually humiliating him in high school. And he figured that the best way to get to Inuyasha was through his new girlfriend.
"Class, I would like you to meet Naraku Shikama," Professor Myouga announced. At the sound of the name, Inuyasha's head turned immediately to Naraku. He growled low when Naraku proceeded to take a seat in front of Kagome.
"What the hell are you doing here Naraku?" Inuyasha snarled at the young man.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome scolded. "You don't have to be so rude."
"But...you don't understand," Inuyasha stuttered. "Oh fine."
Inuyasha crossed his arms and Naraku just smirked. He realized that getting to Kagome might be easier than he thought.
At lunch, Naraku asked to sit at their table. Before Inuyasha could protest, Kagome nodded and Naraku took a seat next to her.
"Kagome," Inuyasha growled out. "Can I talk to you for a minute?"
Puzzled, Kagome nodded her head and followed Inuyasha.
"What's wrong Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, worried that Inuyasha was sick or not feeling well.
"Do you have any idea who that guy is?!" Inuyasha whispered angrily to Kagome.
"Well, I would know if you told me!" Kagome snapped back. She did not like the tone that Inuyasha was using on her.
"He's the one that Kikyo cheated with!" Inuyasha growled.
Kagome was shocked to hear this. Now that she thought of it, she remembered something about him mentioning Kikyo kissing some creep. And that creep was Naraku!
"Ok, I'll be careful around him," Kagome promised. Inuyasha seemed satisfied with her answer.
They headed back to the lunch table. The others had already known who Naraku was because they had gone to the same high school. They were wary of Naraku. Even though they didn't know that he was related to Kikyo, he still had a disturbing aura around him.
Suddenly, Kikyo walked up to their table.
"Hey Inuyasha," Kikyo flashed him what she thought was a winning smile, but Inuyasha just glared at her.
"Look, can I talk to you privately?" Kikyo asked. "I can explain what's going on."
"Whatever you have to say, you can say it right here," Inuyasha snapped at her.
"Fine," Kikyo answered when she realized that Inuyasha would not relent. "I did not cheat with Naraku. He's my cousin. I was just pretending to kiss him so that I could get back at this other girl. Please Inuyasha, you have to believe me."
"That doesn't explain why you were willing to flirt with the other football players!" Inuyasha yelled at her.
Kikyo pretended to cry. "Please Inuyasha; won't you give me another chance? We made a great couple and people always thought that we were so cute together. Wouldn't you feel regret for not giving me a chance?"
"No," Inuyasha said flatly. "I have Kagome with me now. She is the one for me. And fortunately for me, she doesn't flirt around with other guys."
When Kikyo realized that appealing to Inuyasha wasn't going to work, she decided to leave and wait for her next move. Naraku left to follow his cousin when she beckoned to him.
"Good riddance," Inuyasha muttered.
They returned to class without further disruptions. In the middle of class, Kaoru asked to be allowed to go to the bathroom. The professor granted her permission. Kikyo saw her chance to talk to Kagome alone. She then raised her hand to ask for permission to go see the nurse.
Kikyo followed Kagome to the girl's bathroom and decided to confront Kagome.
"Kagome," Kikyo started. Kagome was surprised to see Kikyo there. "I need to talk to you."
Kagome looked warily at Kikyo. She knew something was up, but she nodded her head.
Kikyo continued, "I know what I did in the past was wrong. But don't you think that Inuyasha and I deserve another chance? You can see it in his eyes. He's regretting that he made such a quick choice. Would you truly be happy if you look into his eyes and saw that he was yearning for me? I hate to say this, but don't you think that the reason he might be attracted to you is because you share some of the same features as me? I'm sorry to have to bring that up, but I think that you might have to let go of Inuyasha for awhile, and see how he would react, whether he will return to me or go on with you."
"I don't have to listen to anything you say!" Kagome screamed.
"Of course not," Kikyo answered. "I'm just stating the obvious."
With that, Kikyo left the bathroom. Kagome began to cry. She didn't want to believe anything that Kikyo said, but it made sense. Guilt began to overwhelm Kagome.
Kikyo had already returned to the classroom. She smirked when she looked at Inuyasha. Five minutes later, Kagome entered the classroom. She resumed her seat, but her eyes were a bit puffy from her earlier crying.
"Kagome," Inuyasha whispered. "What's wrong? Why are your eyes red?"
"Oh, it's nothing," Kagome lied. "I just had something in my eye and it began to irritate me."
Inuyasha saw right through her lie, but let it drop. Inwardly, he wondered if Kikyo had something to do with this. He wasn't sure, but as long as Kagome was unharmed, he would leave that slut alone.
The class ended and Inuyasha drove Kagome home. He promised that he would stop by later in the evening and they could spend some time together with the others and watch a movie.
Kagome then headed to her room without looking at Miroku. Miroku was a bit surprised at the reaction that he got from Kagome. Normally, she was always smiling, but when Inuyasha had left, she immediately dropped the act and let her true emotions reign.
Miroku knocked on Kagome's door, but she pretended to be asleep. He took the hint and then decided to call Sango. Sango agreed to talk to Kagome. She too, had noticed her friend's odd behavior, but had been reluctant to bring anything up, especially in front of Inuyasha.
Kagome's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a phone ringing.
"Hello?"
"Hey, it's me Sango. What's wrong?
"Nothing's wrong. What makes you think that something's wrong?"
"Well, other than the fact that your eyes were red and you refused to look anyone in the eye since you returned from the bathroom, I think that kind of hints at something being wrong."
"It's nothing."
"You know what a bad liar you are? Tell me what happened."
Kagome sighed. She knew that Sango was persistent and that she wouldn't give up until she figured out what was wrong. Kagome explained what had happened in the bathroom and the conversation that she had had with Kikyo.
"Don't believe a thing she says!" Sango yelled. "You can't trust her. She is only trying to hurt your relationship."
"But I can't help but feel guilty. What if she's really changed?"
"Kagome, you're so naïve. She hasn't changed at all."
"But don't you think that she deserves a second chance?"
"Hell no! Not her, she's just a slut."
Kagome was silent. Her nature was more forgiving and she couldn't help but feel the need to give Kikyo her chance.
"I don't know what to do Sango..."
"She's only trying to hit your weak spot by appealing to your soft side."
Kagome sighed, "I think...I'm going to break up with Inuyasha."

Thank you so much for all of your reviews and I'm sorry for being late with this chapter. My aunt was visiting us and I had to be polite and so, I didn't have time to really type up a decent chapter. Forgive me if you think it's lame.
