Love Blossoms

Chapter 2:Feelings

Kagome woke up feeling happy and excited. She couldn't wait to see Inuyasha! She hoped that he liked her to, but she wasn't sure.

She quickly got dressed, ate a quick breakfast, and left for school. She met Sango outside and they began walking towards the school.

Sango giggled. "You seem unusually happy today.""I just can't wait to see Inuyasha!"

"Why are you getting so excited over him? You don't even know if he likes you!"

"That's what I'm going to find out today."

"Oh really? How are you going to do that?"

"Easy! Have you ask him if he likes me!"

"Me? Why me?" Sango wailed.

"Because you're my best friend, that's why."

Sango accepted and sighed. She decided on asking Inuyasha at lunch time.

Once they got to school, they went to their lockers, got their books for Math and English class, and headed off to Math class. They got there right on time. The teacher began handing out a simple multiplication worksheet, which Kagome finished within 10 minutes.

Today, Inuyasha sat behind her. She kept having a weird feeling that he had his eyes on her all class long. Everyone once in a while she'd look back and catch him looking at her, and then they'd both blush and continue with what they were doing.

I think he likes me, thought Kagome, I hope he does! She smiled at the thought of Inuyasha liking her. Her life would be so perfect if he did.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

"Wow," Kagome said a little surprised, "class goes by quick when your daydreaming!"

Sango giggled as they headed towards their English class. They both took their seats, and talked until the teacher got there.

"Good morning class," the teacher began, "Today, you are going to have to write a short story."

Kagome moaned. This was the reason she dreaded English class, the writing!

"You must write about your first love," the teacher looked around the classroom, "If you don't finish, it shall be homework. Requirements are written on the board. You may now begin."

Kagome took out a couple of sheets of paper and her sharpened #2 pencil. She knew exactly what she was going to write about! She had never been in love until now, and that was with Inuyasha, except, she didn't know whether he loved her or not.

She began writing. After about 2 paragraphs, she was all out of things to write. She decided to it for homework until she found out if Inuyasha liked her. She glanced over at him and blushed. She couldn't wait until lunch!

Ring. Ring. Ring.

Lunch time, and time to found out if Inuyasha likes her or not! Kagome quickly found Sango and reminded her of their plan. Sango sighed and nodded and headed off in Inuyasha's direction.

"Hi," Sango began, "Your Inuyasha, correct?"

"Yeah. What do you want?"

"Umm… I was wondering, do you like my friend Kagome over there?" She pointed across the room.

Inuyasha blushed furiously. "Umm..."

"Umm?"

"Sort of." He whispered.

"Either you do or you don't!"

"Ok! I do."

"Great!" Sango couldn't wait to tell Kagome! She'd be so happy!

She ran across the cafeteria to the table where Kagome sat. Sango tapped her on the back.

"Great news," Sango's smile got bigger "He likes you!"

Kagome squealed and jumped up and down, "This is so great!"

After lunch was over, they headed to their next class, which Inuyasha happened to be in too. Both blushed as they passed each other.

Inuyasha took a seat next to Kagome. About 15 minutes into class, he tossed a note onto her desk.

Kagome opened it up and it read:

Hi,
I was wondering if you wanted
to come to my house after school?

Inuyasha

Kagome smiled and wrote back.

Inuyasha,
I'd love too!

Kagome and Inuyasha passed notes back the whole class. Sango just sat behind them and watched them the whole time.

Their next class went by quick. Kagome called her mom and asked if she could go by Inuyasha's. Her mother agreed.

She told Sango goodbye and quickly found Inuyasha, who escorted her to his car. What a gentlemen, thought Kagome.

Inuyasha's house was across the street from Kagome's. She was shocked to see he lived so close! She could see him practically anytime she wanted too.

Inuyasha and Kagome walked into his house and he offered her a drink, which she accepted. He brought her back a nice, cold glass of water and then things were silent.

"So…" Inuyasha looked over at Kagome.

"So… you know that paper we have to write in English class?"

Inuyasha nodded.

"Well, I'm writing it about you."

"Why me?"

Kagome blushed. "You're my first love."

"Oh. Well, I'm writing it about you too. You're my first love as well."

Kagome almost died when she heard the word 'love'. He really loved her!

She leaned over into Inuyasha's chest, which took him by surprise, but wrapped his arms around her. Wow, thought Kagome to herself, he's so masculine, as well as…warm. She smiled as she fell asleep in his arms.

Feh. She fell asleep, thought Inuyasha, Since her house is across the sleep, I might as well carry her home.

He lifted her up gently, and walked across the street. He knocked on the door. After a few moments, Mrs. Higurashi answered the door and showed him Kagome's room.

"Thank you for bringing her home," Mrs. Higurashi said sweetly.

"No problem."

Inuyasha laid Kagome down gently in her bed, and put her blanket over her. She sat beside her and ran his fingers through her raven colored hair a couple times, then leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.

"I'm glad your mine." Inuyasha whispered as he left the room.
