Hello everyone, I'm back. Now this story has had an ok response, but I kind of didn't know how to write the next chapter. I do now, but to give this chapter a different feel, I'm writing with blue. You're not gonna see it, but I am. Lolz
Kagome looked out her window, holding her pink phone. It had been so pretty at first, but the pink seemed to mock her. She wanted to throw the phone against the wall, but she was waiting for a call from Inuyasha. She had called his house about, oh, probably seven times today. Smashing her phone would mean having to go downstairs. She did not want to see anyone, except Inuyasha.
"Kagome, honey, you have a visitor." Kagome heard her mother's voice through her door.
"Who?" Kagome asked.
"Inuyasha." Her mother replied. Kagome gave an allowing grunt. The door opened, and in walked Inuyasha,
"Hi." Kagome murmured.
"Hi." Inuyasha greeted back.
"Are you here about the restraining order?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha chuckled lightly.
"No, I'm here for you. I got really worried, and I just wanted to make sure you were ok." Inuyasha fidgeted with his fingers. He wasn't good with emotions.
"I'm ok." Kagome assured him.
"Really?" He looked up into Kagome's warm brown eyes, looking for a hint of truth.
"No, but at least I'm alive." Kagome pointed out.
"Right." Inuyasha fiddled with his necklace. He didn't really know what to say. He might as well be direct.
"Kagome, it's not your fault." Kagome looked up at him, her eyes filling with tears for the hundredth time this week. Inuyasha felt bad. He didn't mean to make her cry. He looked at her, wanting to do something. Kagome, Inuyasha found, was really pretty when she cried. Her eyes sparkled with tears, and her face was solemn, but bright. Her small frame shook silently, and Inuyasha sat awkwardly beside her.
"It's ok." He cooed. "It's alright." He rigidly put his arms around her shaking body.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome murmured.
"Yes?"
"You're the best." Kagome whispered. Her voice hitched almost inaudibly. Inuyasha knew Kagome was crying still. Inuyasha felt slightly uncomfortable. What was he doing in Kagome's room, holding her while she cried? He wasn't quite sure, but he didn't want to pull away. Not just yet…

"Hello? Is Kagome there please?" Ayumi greeted in her usual polite manner.
"Ayumi, who do you think you're talking to?" Kagome snapped.
"Uhhh… sorry." Ayumi smiled a bit on her side of the line.
"So Kagome, you're still going to graduation right?" Ayumi asked cheerfully.
"Umm…. No, I don't think so." Kagome informed her. Hey, she had a right to know.
"But 'gome! You have to come! It's graduation! It means we're free from wretched high school!" Kagome sighed. She would never be allowed to stay at home on graduation night. Her friends would drag her if they had to.
"Fine, I'll go." It would be fun, right?
"Oh, Kagome, that's great! Listen I have to go. I'll talk to you later. By the way, have you got a date?" Ayumi teased.
"No." Kagome confessed.
"Well, you will in a day or two, I guarantee." Ayumi tried to cheer her up.
"Whatever, bye!" Kagome answered in mock joyfulness.
"Bye."

Kagome sat in her window, looking out over her yard. It had been raining for a few days now. Everything was just so nice when it rained, and Kagome soaked it all up. She loved rain, and she wished she could stand in a field and let the rain fall on her.
Rain also reminded her of tears. She had cried when Inuyasha had been here a few days ago. He had not called or come over since. She probably had scared him away. A rustle at the door brought her back to earth. The door opened slightly.
"Kagome, Inuyasha is here again." Kagome's pointed to somewhere outside the door, and Kagome raised her eyebrows in surprise. Maybe she wasn't as frightening as she thought. She had just woken up and she probably did look scary, and Kagome felt bothered that Inuyasha would see her like this. But then again, why would she care?
"Hi, Kagome." Inuyasha said as though he had been reciting it to her, and not actually saying it.
"Hi, what's up?" Kagome tried to look truly interested.
"Umm... Well I came here to ask you a question." Inuyasha seemed tense. Kagome's throat tightened. What kind of question was it?
"Yes?" Kagome tried to seem calm.
"Um, I was wondering if you wanted to go to grad with me, like as a, like kind of like a," Inuyasha was stammering.
"You mean like a date?" Kagome raised her one eyebrow. Inuyasha looked relieved.
"Yeah." He smiled. "Do you want to?" Kagome considered her options. It's not like she hadn't fantasized about going out with Inu, she admitted it. He had grown, and was actually quite gorgeous. All through grade school and until last year, Inuyasha had been not exactly a nerd, but he wasn't that popular.
Kagome was not sure how she felt about him. Kagome felt something for Inuyasha, but what exactly? She was also afraid. If him and her got in too deep, could they swim back out? Kagome shook her head. She didn't want to think about that right now. But she couldn't hurt Inuyasha's feelings.
"Ok, Inu." Kagome smiled lightly, and looked up at him. Inuyasha grinned, and he let out a breath of relief.
"Alright! See you tomorrow night." Inuyasha waved, and left Kagome's room. Kagome lay down on her bed, and sighed. This is where she was going to stay. This is where she wanted to stay, in her room, without the pressures of the outside world. Kagome felt a cry bubble up inside of her. She kept it inside. So, she was going to grad. With Inuyasha. Tomorrow. Did she have a dress? Kagome nodded to her own question. Yeah, she did. Her and her three friends had shopped for their gowns weeks ago. Kagome's was a light pink fabric, with sparkles weaved into it. She even had appointments for her hair and nails tomorrow. She decided she would go, even though she didn't really feel like it. Kagome's eyelids began to droop, and Kagome began to fall into a fitful sleep.

"Ready?" Inuyasha took Kagome's elbow, and led her out to his waiting car. He opened the door for her, and waited until she got in. Inuyasha sat beside her, occasionally throwing nervous looks at her. Inuyasha stepped on the gas, and the car sped off. The pair was silent for the whole car ride. When they arrived at school, Inuyasha got out, and opened the door for Kagome. She smiled.
"Lets go." She climbed out of the car, and slipped her hand into his. Inuyasha smiled, and they headed inside.
Ok that's where my chapter is ending! You'll have to wait for the next chapter to find out what happens inside the school. Ciao for now!
