Chapter 11: Issues
"Kagome! I thought you said you'd be in school"
"Eh...uh...I did...say that. But, I uh...changed my mind"
Houjo laughed, "You? Absent from school? That's a rare occasion"
Kagome tried to stay calm, he was starting to really annoy her. His stupid jokes. They were not funny. They were idiotic sarcasm. Mocking her "illnesses". How rude.
"Yeah..."she responded, fake laughing, "Good one..."
"Anyway. Why are you here? I mean, why a bookstore?"
Refrain from wanting to scream at him...for a couple more minutes
"I like this store. I like books. Okay? Is that alright with you?"
"Wh-what? Hey, Kagome, calm down. It was just a question. I'm sorry"
"No! No! It's okay...it's me. I'm just, uh, mad. They don't have this book I was looking forward to reading. That's all."
She then tried to smile. She could bet any amount of money...it was one ugly smile. Probably qualified as more of a grimace. Like she could help it though! What the hell gave Houjo the right to practically stalk her?! Following her around, asking her sort of personal questions (okay so the thing about school wasn't personal), but still! It was getting really redundant. How many more times did she have to scream at him? How many more times would she have to reject his offers for a date (or accept them then later cancel)? He could not take a hint. Kagome was seriously starting to think he was stupid. Extremely stupid.
"Are you okay?" Houjo asked.
Was he whispering? Why start whispering now?
"Fine. Really" she responded whispering as well. It was more of a chance to mock Houjo than anything.
"Oh. Okay. Did you want to do something tonight?"
No. Never. Nuh-uh. I'll pass on that one
"I'm not sure"
"What? I can't really hear you..." he said moving closer.
"I said 'I'm not sure'" Kagome answered, slightly irritated.
"Well, I mean we could just...hang out all day"
Did he just move closer to me again?
"Does that sound okay with you?" he once again asked, whispering.
Uh...he definitely moved closer that time
"Kagome?"
"What?" she snapped back, "I'm trying to look at something!"
"Couldn't I look at it with you?"
MUST YOU?
"Houjo..."She began, "I..."
Houjo didn't waste any time this time. He quickly moved in towards Kagome and before she could even react, his lips were on hers.
WHAT A LECH! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING????!!!!
