Chapter 4 "Why do you hate me" part 2

Last chapter:

"I said, why do you hate me," she repeated.

(AN: This chapter is starting off with Inuyasha's reply to Kagome asking him, why he hates her. So here we go...)

"Because, I just do!" Inuyasha exclaimed. "OH, AND JUST WHAT KIND OF REASON IS THAT?!?" Kagome yelled. "IT'S MY KIND OF RESON THAT'S WHAT!!" Inuyasha responded, really losing his patience with Kagome. "YOU'RE A STUPID ROTTEN GIRL, WHO THINKS SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING! AS A MATTER AF FACT, IF YOU DIED, NOBODY WOULD MISS YOU, THEY'D JUST CONTINUE ON WITH THEIR LIVES, WITHOUT SHEDDING A TEAR, BECAUSE NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU!" Inuyasha screeched.

He smirked when she didn't say anything back, clenched her hands into fists, and bowed her head. That is, until he saw a tear fall, with a thump onto the soft carpet, then another, and another. Her shoulders were shaking now, and she was whimpering. His smirk flipped upside down and turned into a frown. (AN: Hey that rhymed didn't it!)

"Kagome?" Inuyasha called softly. Kagome's legs collapsed under her, and she slowly slid to the floor. "Do I really bother people that much?" she asked. "Feh, don't get all worked up over it." Inuyasha stated. 'I didn't mean to make her cry, just wanted to make her angry.' He mentally smacked himself. "So I do." Kagome said solemnly. "No, now quit your crying." Inuyasha said gruffly. She sniffled a few more times and then stopped. "Hey Inuyasha," She called softly. "What." He asked. "Thanks." "Feh, whatever." Inuyasha said in that grumpy tone of his.

-Flashback-

It had been a year and a half since Inuyasha had met Kagome, and now they were really good friends. But now every time he was around her, he got butterflies in his stomach. He felt weird, strange. He told his best friend, Miroku, how he felt, and Miroku said, that it was love that he was feeling. Inuyasha didn't believe him at first though, because Miroku was known as the school's henti. (I think I spelled that right.)

That night Inuyasha had gotten on his laptop and went online. He took a quiz called 'Is it love, or just a crush?" The results were "You obviously love this person." So the next day in homeroom, he approached her and started a friendly conversation.

"Hi Kag. How are you doing?" "Hey Inu, fine. What about you?" Kagome questioned. They talked like that for the next fifteen minutes, and then he asked her, "Kag, will you go out with me?" Her jaw dropped. "Hey Kag," Inuyasha started, "You shouldn't leave your mouth open, a bug might fly in." Kagome shook her head. Inuyasha took this as a 'no' and started to get up, but Kagome pulled him back into his seat. "I didn't mean it as a no, I was trying to snap back to reality. Yes I will go out with you."

'YES!!!!!' Inuyasha's mind screamed. "I asked her out, uh huh, she said okay, uh huh, now she's my girlfriend, uh huh, and I'm so happy, uh huh!" Inuyasha stated singing. Kagome started laughing hysterically. Inuyasha then got up and started dancing around the room, doing various dances like, the Cha cha slide, the Macarena, and the sea walk. By now Kagome was on the ground, laughing, and rolling around like an idiot.

Their teacher Mrs. Miyu looked up rolled her eyes and said, "Mr. Takahashi, even though your dancing is good I would like to remind you, that this is not dance class, and therefore I would advise you sit down for the next ten minutes, or sit down for an extra forty minutes in detention tomorrow." Inuyasha was blushing like mad as he ran all the way across the room to where his seat was, and sat in it. Kagome got up off the floor still laughing and sat down while holding her sides.

"Aw man Inuyasha, that was priceless! Some of those dances I had never even seen before!" Kagome bellowed. Inuyasha stated smiling and said, "You've got to admit I looked sexy though." "True." Kagome said, having stopped laughing now, and wearing a serious expression. "As sexy as a pig caked in mud!" She said, laughing again. "That hurt." Inuyasha said, acting sad. "Oh, I'm sorry, what can Nurse Kagome do to make it feel all better?" Kagome said, jokingly. "You can kiss me." Inuyasha said. "Here?" Kagome asked blushing. Inuyasha nodded.

Kagome leaned forward and brushed Inuyasha's lips. Then regained her former position. "Wow, I've never been kissed before." Kagome said softly, her blush ever growing. "Me neither." Inuyasha stated now also blushing.

"Well, I'm glad that you were the one to give me my first kiss." Kagome said. "Me too, but it wasn't all that good." Inuyasha replied jokingly. "You know it left you mesmerized." She said. "Fine, I admit defeat, this time." Inu answered.

-End Flashback-

Inuyasha looked at the tear stained face of Kagome. Then something occurred to him, did he ever really even hate her?

AN: I'm sorry, but it's two-fifteen AM, and I'm going to stop writing now. PLEASE REVIEW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!! I will try to post the next chappie tomorrow, it will tell you rather or not Inuyasha really hated Kagome. Sorry about the cliffie, I didn't mean to, I swear!!!
