Chapter 3
~A Change of Heart ~
All week. The whole week he just kept on bugging me. He wouldn't stop and it's hard enough to restrain yourself and an angry Inuyasha. I really, really want to kill something or someone right now...
Life can be so cruel.
Kouga is bound to be the most naive guy I have ever met, or the dumbest. He can't understand that I don't like him, at all. I've thrown books and pencils at him, ran from him, hid in Miroku's locker one time, and it is very scary in there... I even yelled (quite a few times actually) to 'go away', 'I hate you' or 'leave me alone'.
Yet there are still rumors around the school that I belong to him. I'm a person not an object thank you.
At this rate I don't think all the aspirin in Tokyo could cure my migraine. I really need a nap. Unfortunately it's only Tuesday.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Since Kouga was stalking me at lunch, we all went outside to eat in the courtyard. It was nice with the tress and fall starting up. Then he found us yet again.
"Hey Kag-chan!"
"Please no. Please just don't let it be him!" I muttered.
"Crap man, can't he just leave us alone?" asked Shippo.
"Apparently not." Said Miroku.
"Hey Kag. Just came to see how my woman was doing. Why don't you come inside and sit with me. We can talk about our date."
"What date!?" yelled Inuyasha and I at the same time.
"Shut up dog-turd it's none of your freakin business!"
"Your gonna have to have a better insult than that Kouga."
"Shut it mutt!"
"Heard that too."
"You little piece of-"
"Sorry, heard that one a lot. Come on let's hear something original for an insult, you simpleton."
"Are you trying to say I'm stupid!?"
"I'm not trying to, I actually am."
"I'm gonna beat you into a bl-"
"ENOUGH!" I yelled. Both of them looked at in shock.
"I have had it up to hear with your bickering! Cut it out already. I want to shoot somebody right...for pete's sake..."
"Are you mad at me Kagome?"
"No kiddin." I muttered.
"Well I can make it up to you with dinner and a movie, How about that?"
"I don't want to go out with you moron!"
"...So...you don't like me...?"
"You're just now figuring this out!?"
"....."
I really hate any form of guilt. Especially when you really didn't do anything wrong.
"Kou-"
"I get it. Well then I guess I just have to do what I can. Don't worry Kagome; I will win your heart." He said grinning at me. Then he walked off with his jock lackeys to the cafeteria.
I think I'm doomed...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* I could only hope that this school day would turn out better than yesterday. Kouga had gone on the announcements at the end of the day to announce his undying love for me, and then had the nerve to show up grinning at me in 6th period. It's now Wednesday and good thing I'm headed for anatomy. It was CSI day, the day we learn different things that they do in Crime Scene Investigation.
"Welcome class. Today for CSI were going to work on fingerprints. Please work with your partner on the worksheets till I give you further instruction."
"Yippee." Said Inuyasha.
"I actually like this class ya know."
"That's because I'm in it, and Kouga's not."
"Yeah that's part of it. But the CSI stuff is cool, and I like the different labs and stuff. There's not even a lot of homework in here."
"Yeah but still I don't like what Kouga did yesterday."
"Are we talking about the class anymore?"
"NO not really."
"OK then. Yeah I agree it was way out of line, but what are we gonna do about it. Even the faculty worships him now."
"That's because his family has a pocketful of cold-hard- cash."
"I dint know that."
"Yeah, the idiot's family owns about 4 of the top companies in Japan now, and they used to own more of them back in America."
"Where do you guys here all this stuff!?"
"It's in the newspaper Kag."
"I don't read the paper."
"You don't pay attention to anything either." He said grinning at me.
"Shut up Yash." I said. I couldn't help but smile, Inuyasha can always cheer me up. Even in the worst of times.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Another school day to experience in the evil world of mathematics...
"Here comes the girl to win his heart. It's so romantic!" squealed Naraku with sarcasm.
"Shut up before I carve your heart out of you with a spoon." I said to him.
"What heart?" asked Sango.
"Good point."
Kikyo and Naraku had been bugging me about Kouga, ever since he made it clear to the entire school that I was his, and his alone. Everyone has those days where they just want to shoot somebody. Especially me right now.
"Shut up yourself freak." Sneered Kikyo.
"Why don't all of you shut up and we can begin calculus!" shouted Onigumo- sensei.
"Yes sir." We both said.
"Now thanks to our little catfight, I hope you all can enjoy a wonderful pop quiz."
The entire class groaned and sent evil looks at me. Of course none of them were directed towards Kikyo... Oh how I despise her.
"Rough day?" asked Sango as I sat down next to her.
-_-++;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
"No kiddin."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Victory! Kouga wasn't in 4th period or lunch! World government will be so much more enjoyable!
Unless he just had to come back at the end of the day and was sitting there next to my desk with his big wolfish grin.
"Hello Kagome. I picked these up especially for you!" he handed a bouquet of more then a dozen roses with a card and a box of chocolates. I t felt like Valentines day, only I never got stuff like this on Valentines day. Ever.
"Thank you very much Kouga, but I can't accept these from you-"
"Nonsense. I cut 4th period and went and got these just for you. This way they're nice and fresh."
This was just too weird. He first is like a possessive stalker, and now... he acts...... dare I say sweet?
**Ring**
"Sit down; you'll need paper to take notes. Get to it."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Why me?" *bang* "Why did it have to be me?" *bang* "Life is just cruel." *bang*
"Kag, I don't think hitting your head against your locker is going to solve anything." Said Shippo. "Unless you just want a migraine."
"I already have one Shippo."
"Exactly!"
"Come on. Were supposed to meet at Inuyasha's house for practice."
"I'm coming."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey Sessh."
"Konnichiwa Kagome, Shippo, and Sango."
"How have you been Sesshy?"
"Just fine. Inuyasha's upstairs with Miroku, you three can go on up."
"Thanks!" we said running up.
Sesshomaru was cool. He was Inuyasha's brother, and studying to be a surgeon. The two of them were really close and looked out for each other. Ever since their parents had died Sesshomaru had taken care of them, and they had their uncle Myouga watching their backs too. They were pretty wealthy and had a large house with expensive furniture and all kinds of stuff. (A really nice stereo system and entertainment center for when we got bored too! ^___^ )
In this house it was just the brothers with their two dogs. General, a large golden retriever, and also Hunter, a large Husky dog from Alaska.
We came into the large room full of instruments. Miroku was seated at the drums, while Inuyasha sat on the couch strumming at his guitar.
"-and she's buying a stairway to heaven-"
"I love that song!" I said.
"Why do you think I'm playing it? Led Zeppelin is one of the best music artists."
"No arguments there. Just don't forget Rush, the Beatles, or Do As Infinity."
"What should we play today? Hey I made a rhyme! Cool."
"Shippo, you are very easily entertained." Said Miroku.
"No duh Sherlock." Said Sango.
"I have an appointment at 6, so Sango remind me later so I can drive you and Shippo home." Said Miroku. "So what should we work on?"
"Should we try Live on? It needed a little work last time."
"I guess so. But don't count on me knowing the whole solo just yet." Said Shippo.
"You can do it, just remember to try it an octave lower than last time."
"You make it sound so easy."
"I would try it, but I don't play bass." Said Inuyasha.
"OK, 1, 2, ready go."
Sango came in on the keyboard with Miroku going on a steady tempo. Then I came in with Shippo and finally Inuyasha. I came up to the mike with Inuyasha.
I was chained to the ground
I needed to be found
My hope was lost
My life could be the cost
You came then
The light shined through
You were my angel from heaven
I needed you!
~~Then in came Inuyasha to the mike still strumming on the guitar with me. ~~
I saw your face
I could not forget
The pain and sadness was set
Death will hold on because we must live on!
~~Now came Shippo's bass guitar solo, and we cut off. ~~
"That was good Shippo, but I think it was a little sharp coming down."
"3rd finger I think. I just need a little practice. This is really fast right there."
"You and I can work on it Shippo." Said Sango.
"Kagome?"
"Hey Sesshomaru. What's up?"
"Your mom called. You need to head home for dinner."
"AH! It's already 6!? Crap man. I'm late!" yelled Miroku sprinting down the stairs.
"Wait up Miroku, I need a ride home!" yelled Sango chasing after him.
"Wait for me!" yelled Shippo.
"That was interesting." Said Inuyasha, as we all burst out laughing.

Hello!
I have cookies for all of my wonderful reviewers!
bebop-miroku: I'm glad it was. I hope this one was too. More cookies. I feel like I have another personal editor, besides Mitsukake. Kikyo can be spelled either 'ou', or just 'o'. The 'u' just shows how to pronounce it in Japanese. In the Manga it is K-i-k-y-o, just with the line above o for pronunciation. Same with Kouga. Just the way I wrote them seems more correct to me. You could be right though, I just prefer it like that. But I appreciate it! Have an extra cookie!
Mitsukake: Should I know who this is? Just kidding. For anyone else reading this, Mitsukake is one of my best friends. Have a cookie for finally reviewing! ^-^ (She also acts as a personal editor to my stories ^_~ )
Namiko the anime wizard: Have more cookies! I love them too!
Pensquared: I look forward to homecoming too. I'm glad the point came across that Kouga is scary and similar to a stalker. Have a cookie for reviewing!
I know that this chapter was shorter then most. I apologize. I'm really really sleep deprived and I'm starting to get a cold. That leaves me brain dead and energy drained. Not a good combination.
The song Inuyasha had started to play was Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. I love that song! It's an awesome band if you ever hear them. The song they were all playing was one I made up, so it's not really good in the few minutes I did it. Just go with it for now.
Next chapter is the Homecoming Dance. ^________________________^
