*~*~*Chapter 3*~*~*
Koga is pulling Kagome off to the cafeteria.
"Koga! Come on! It was just a simple, innocent, conversation! I swear.." he cut her off.
"No Kagome! It doesn't matter! You broke my rules, and you are to be punished when we get home!"
"Koga, just listen to me for one minute! Ok?" she looked up at him with pleading eyes.
"Fine, one minute." He said emotionlessly.
"Ok, can we make a deal or something? I want to have friends more than anything else! Please I just don't understand why you get to have friends and I can't just because you say so. Why? Are you scared that I'll get hurt when we move again? Cause I don't think that is it, I think that you will get jealous if I talk to anyone other than you."
"You are crazy! You actually think that I would be jealous of you?"
"Yeah I do." She stated simply. She crossed her arms and looked away from him.
"Whatever, your punishment will be twice as bad now." He said as if it were nothing.
The bell rang. "Kagome, go to your next class, we will discuss this later."
Kagome went to the gym for PE, and Koga went to the opposite side, where his class met.
"Ok class" a very bulky man said, "I want you all to know that next week, we will be swimming in the pool, so you will need to bring your bathing suits." He looked to Kagome, "oh and you must be the new student" she nodded, " well than, nice to meet you.
Holy crap, what am I gonna do? Kagome was screaming in her head, I can't swim! Everyone is going to make fun of me, I have to learn how before next week!
Inuyasha (who also happened to be in that class) saw how she suddenly looked scared when the teacher mentioned swimming. I wonder why? He thought.
"Today they are re-doing the junior locker rooms, so you have a free- period. Do as you wish." And with that, he left.
I have to find out more about this new girl, Inuyasha was thinking. So he walked up behind her. When he was thinking about what to say, she turned around.
"*Gasp* you scared me!" Kagome breathed.
"Sorry about that, hey, umm, so are you excited about swimming next week?" he suddenly said. I doubt she will tell me why she freaked out about it, but it is worth a try. He hoped. She just looked up at him, and it seemed that she was actually going to tell him. She opened her mouth as if to say something, and turned around.
"I am not supposed to talk to anyone." She stated and started to walk away. He put a hand on her shoulder and spun her around.
"How come?" he asked?
"Umm, I uh, well, its just that." she started to get very nervous and he could smell it.
"Look, you don't have to tell me but if you tell me why you freaked out when the teacher mentioned swimming, I will leave you alone." For a while, he thought.
She looked up from the ground and noticed his ears. All was forgotten when she saw them,
"How cute!!!!" she all but squealed. "Can I touch them she asked?" looking up at him with a big smile on her face. All he could think then was how he wanted her to always be smiling. Gorgeous, he thought, wow, where did that thought come from?
She reached up, on her tippy toes, to reach his ears, but he grabbed her arm, startling her. Only if you tell me why you are scared of swimming.
"Ok, I guess I can tell you." should I tell him everything? "I can't swim," she blurted out.
"That is all?" he asked.
Does he know? It's like he can see right through me. "Umm, I. yeah, that is all"
He knew she was, lying, but decided not to push it. " Ok then, he said, hey, if you want I could teach you after school. Ya know, everyday until you get it."
"I don't think that my step dad or brother would like that," she said quietly.
"Well, they don't have to know. You can say you have to stay after with teacher to catch up on some things."
She really wanted to do this. For some reason, he made her feel safe. "Well, that is a good idea and all, and I really want to but.. my brother doesn't let me go anywhere with out him." She turned around and put a hand over her mouth. Opps! She thought, I did not mean to tell him, maybe he doesn't get what I meant. She turned back around facing him. ".. I mean, ummm,"
"Hey it is ok, I know." He stated
He knows!!!! Wait, does he know about my dad? No this is not happening, this is just a dream. "Umm, know what?"
"Look, I am a hanyou, I have really good hearing, and I can smell fear. I can just tell. I can also tell you are scared now. Why?"
"I don't want to say." She stated
"Come on tell me."
"Well, you aren't going to tell anyone rite?"
"Now that all depends" she cringed, she was scared he was going to black mail her. "Kagome, I am not going to hold it against you or black mail you or anything."
Creepy, is he a mind reader? She thought, hey Inuyasha, can you read my mind? She looked at him; he looked at her, nothing. Guess not.
"Hey, why don't you just try it and see if it works, ask him if you can stay a little after school."
"I guess that it can't hurt."
"Great! I will meet you at the office ok?
"Sure, if I can"
The rest of the day went surprisingly fast, and believe it or not, Koga said she could stay. He must have had a date, she thought, hey! Maybe he won't remember about punishing me!
She walked to the office quickly, hoping that he was still there. Sure enough, there he was leaning up against the wall, smirking. He is sooo fine, wow, since when did I think that?
"Hey" he greeted.
"Hi"
"So, you ready?"
"Actually, I kinda don't own a bathing suit"
"Don't worry, I figured that so I got you a school swim team one."
"Wow, thanks"
"So, you all set?"
"Umm, one more thing"
"Yeah?"
"Where are we going?"
"To my apartment, there is a pool there."
"Ok" for some reason, she trusted him, she wasn't even scared that she would be all alone with him.
Wow! He thought, I thought that she would be all freaked out to come to my place, what a strange girl.
They got into his car and started to drive to his house. When they got there he opened the car door and walked to his room.
He handed her the bathing suit and a towel, "here, you can change in the bathroom, it is right there" he said pointing to a door.
"Thanks" she said as she took the suit and headed for the bathroom.
She came out to see him in his suit. Wow, was all she could think. He was wearing black shorts with red stripes on the sides, and had a towel draped over his shoulders. Damn, she thought, I bet if he became a rapist nobody would care. Ahhhh! Where did that thought come from, she blushed at her thoughts.
But he was too busy looking at 'her' to notice. She looked beautiful, but his thoughts were interrupted when she spoke.
"You ready?" she asked
"Uhh, yeah, let's go" and with that he led her to the pool.
"Ok here we are," he stated. He could smell a small amount of fear in her.
"Ok, today we can stay in the shallow end, I'll get in first." With that he got in the pool. She just stared at the water. "Kagome" he said snapping her out of her trance.
"Oh, yeah, sorry!" she went over to the steps and slowly took one step in, so she was up to her ankles with water. Inuyasha could smell more fear, so he went over to her.
"Give me your hand," he said. She reached out and took it. "Take another step" she stepped down. "Ok, take another one," she took another one. The water was now about 5 inches above her knees. "Take the last three steps now, you will still be able to touch the bottom" she took a deep breath and before she knew it she was standing on the pool bottom. "Now that wasn't so hard was it?" he asked. She smiled and shook her head.
"Now, it is really quite simple, all you have to do is kick your feet, and paddle with your arms." Why don't you try it?"
"Ok, I can do this" she said to herself. She let go of Inuyasha and tried exactly what he said, she stopped standing on the floor of the pool, and kicked her feet, and then she paddled with her hands. She sank like a stone and went rite under. But no worries, Inuyasha was quick and picked her rite back up. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and her legs around his waist and refused to let go.
"Kagome, do you want to try again?" he asked, still holding her. She shook her head no. "you sure?" she nodded. "Well, can you at least stand?" she did nothing, and after a while of thinking about it, she unwrapped her legs from his waist, but left her arms around his neck.
"Well, you will have to try again some time." He stated. "Hey I have an idea, get on my back."
"What?"
"You heard me get on my back, I promise I won't let you drown. Ok?"
"Ok" she took a deep breath and got on his back
"Now you practice kicking, while I swim. Got it?"
"Yeah, I think so."
So he started swimming and she started kicking, holding onto him for dear life. Every once in a while he would give her word of encouragement and she would just blush. When they were both worn out, well, when Kagome was worn out, they decided to call it a day.
He let her use his shower so Koga would not smell the chlorine on her, and he let her leave the swimsuit she used there so Koga would not find it.
When it came time to go, Kagome looked nervous. "What's wrong Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.
"Nothing.well.never mind"
"Come on, you can tell me." He said sweetly.
She looked up into his eyes and decided she could tell him the truth, well, part of the truth. "Well, what if Koga finds out, he might punish me again." She looked down and said the second part so quietly that Inuyasha could barely hear her, and he was a hanyou. She didn't mean for him to hear that last part, but from the look on his face, she could tell that he did.
"What did you just say?" he asked, a worried look on his face
"Nothing."
"Kagome, I can also tell when people are lying." he paused, "Would you like to rethink that answer?"
"Look, it is no big deal," he cut her off,
"Yes it is a big deal."
"Inuyasha, look, there is nothing that you or me can do! If we tell on him, he will make my stepfather move us away, and it will start all over again! Look", she said more calmly. " I'm sorry, I just want to go back home." Inuyasha took a big breath.
"Are you sure you want to go, cause." He didn't want her to know that he heard what Koga threatened earlier, "cause you are welcome to stay longer if you like,"
"Well she said considering it since she really didn't want to go home, "I guess that I can stay a little longer."
"Cool"
All of the sudden, Sango and Miroku came busting through the door. Miroku just jumped onto the couch while Sango raided to fridge.
"Do you guys ever think to knock?" Inuyasha asked rudely.
Miroku put a hand to his chin "hmmmmmm.." he really looked like he was thinking about it, "No." he answered, Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "So you already brought the new girl home Inuyasha," he said noticing Kagome. "Very nice!" He put his hand up for a high five, but Inuyasha just looked at him like he was crazy. "Or not" he said looking away.
"Hey Kagome" Sango said. "What are you doing here?"
"Oh nothing, Inuyasha was just. Showing me the pool."
"Yeah, sure" Sango replied, "well I am here because I wanted to see if Inuyasha wanted to come to the movies with me and Miroku."
"Cool!"
"Hey! You could come too! It would be so fun! We are gonna see 28 days later!"
"Umm, I don't think that I can go, will you excuse me for a minute?" Sango nodded. Kagome walked over to Inuyasha, "Inuyasha," she whispered, "can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure," he led her to his room." What is it?" he said after shutting the door.
" I have to go, could you please take me home?"
"Why? You said just a minute ago that you could stay a little longer."
"Sango and Miroku want to go to the movies with you" she stated.
"So? Why can't you come too?"
" I just can't"
"Give me three good reasons"
" Number one, I don't have any money"
"I can pay for you"
"Number two, what would Koga say?"
"He wont find out, he wont be home until at least 11:45 PM"
"How do you know?"
"Lets just say I have my ways."
" Number three, I." she stopped. If I tell him he is going to think that I am a wimp. She thought.
"Well?"
"IhaveneverbeentothemovesandSangowantstosee28dayslaterandihearditisreallysc- ary" she said in one breath, surprisingly, he understood her.
"What?! You have never been to the movies!?"
"Nope" she answered.
"That is it, you have to go now!"
Somehow, she found herself suckered into going. They walked out of the room to see Miroku dancing to some Michael Jackson song. What have I gotten myself into? She thought.
