I am sooooooooooo sorry for the late update. At first I was taking my time
writing this because I didn't have enough reviews, but then I got enough
and had to rush. So.....to make it up to you, I made this on extra long.
*************Chapter 14****************
'This is how everything is supposed to be......' Kagome thought as she broke away from the kiss for air.
She was on a Ferris wheel, overlooking the brightly lit amusement park. There were couples everywhere. Her idea of a perfect guy just kissed her. Everything was perfect.
She could see her best friend sitting on a bench with Miroku. He was holding her, 'they make the cutest couple.' Kagome thought with a sigh. Apparently Inuyasha heard her.
"What is it Kagome?" he asked, his arm now around her. She shook her head.
"It's nothing." She smiled up at him. For a split second she remembered when her mother used to hold her like this. She saddened noticeably. It was all her fault that her mom and Souta were dead. If she had just listened to Naraku, and not tried to tell her mom about her secret, then they would be alive right now. Kagome held back tears.
She didn't even realize that the ride had ended and that they had already gotten off. They walked over to a bench, a while away from Sango and Miroku's. Inuyasha sat down, (they were holding hands) but Kagome seemed to be zoning out. She didn't realize that she had stopped walking.
"Kagome, you ok?" Inuyasha asked pulling her onto his lap. She snapped out of her trance.
"Yeah, I guess I'm just a little tired." She said with a fake yawn. Inuyasha nodded, though he didn't believe her.
"Ok then, lets go find Miroku and Sango, maybe they're ready to go too." He stood up and put an arm around her.
"They are that way." Kagome said pointing in the direction of the bench she saw them on. "I saw them when we were on the Ferris wheel." Inuyasha nodded, and they walked off in that direction.
"Hey Kagome, Inuyasha." Sango greeted when she saw them. Kagome smiled and Inuyasha gave a "hey' back.
"You guys about ready to go?" he asked them. Sango nodded.
"Yeah, I am getting pretty tired." She said with a yawn.
They walked to the car in silence. Kagome got in the passenger seat while Sango and Miroku got in the back. Inuyasha started the engine and turned on the heater. As soon as the car started to move Sango was asleep. They drove in silence for a while.
'I'm so tired.' Kagome thought. 'But I'd never be able to think with all this on my mind.' She looked down at her feet.
"Kagome? You ok?" Inuyasha asked her. She looked up at him.
"No." she mumbled under her breath, but he still heard her. He slowed down a little and looked at her.
"What's wrong?" they were almost to Kagome's house now. 'He heard me!??" she thought. She tried to speak but found se couldn't.
"What is it Kag?" Inuyasha asked again.
"I don't want to talk." She said it in an almost whiny voice. He sounded confused.
"About what? You know you can tell me anything." He pulled into her driveway and stopped the car. Miroku and Sango were both asleep.
"I said I don't want to talk about it!" she yelled as she got out of the car and slammed the door shut. She started to run for her house.
Inuyasha ran around the car and grabbed her arm.
"Wait." He said softy but sternly. "Please talk to me." She gave in.
"When we get inside." She said with a sigh. He gave a small smile and ran back to the car to wake up Miroku and Sango. When he got there, he found that Miroku was already awake.
"Hey Miroku, I'm gonna go talk to Kagome, you gonna wake up Sango?"
"Soon." Miroku said, all the while looking at the sleeping girl dreamily. She was holding the stuffed animal he won her. (Well, Inuyasha really won it.......)
Inuyasha rolled his eyes and ran back to the front door. She opened it for him, but he let her walk inside first. They walked to her room in silence.
Kagome sat down on her bed, leaving Inuyasha to sit on her swirling chair.
'Hmm, now that I look at it, there really isn't that much stuff in her room. She has her bed, her dresser, with nothing on it, and her nightstand with the phone.' His thoughts were interrupted when she spoke.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you. I just.........." he cut her off.
"Its ok." He gave her a warm smile, she nodded. They sat in silence for a while.
"Everything is my fault." Kagome said out of the blue.
"What do you mean?" she sighed.
"My mom and Souta. It's all my fault. If I kept my mouth shut then they would both be alive." She broke down into tears, and Inuyasha was immediately by her side comforting her.
"Shhhhhh, you know that's not true." She calmed down but nothing could convince her. She believed with everything that she was that it was her fault. It was literally beat into her.
"I want to go to bed now." She said as if she were thinking of something else.
"Ok, I'll leave you to get changed then." With that he walked out of the room.
That's when the phone rang. Kagome jerked her head towards the phone and Inuyasha shot back into the room. She slowly walked over to the phone and picked it up.
"H-hello?" Kagome asked.
"Hello Kagome." It was Naraku. Inuyasha noticed Kagome looked suddenly nervous. She mouthed 'Naraku' to him.
"Uh. what do you want?" she asked shakily.
"I wanted to let you know that Koga and I will be coming home tomorrow." Kagome saddened. She really didn't want this weekend to end. "You are not to go to school tomorrow. I want you to be home to unpack our suitcases. Also, I expect the house will be spotless?"
"Yes Naraku." She answered quickly.
"Alright then. We will be home around 2:30 PM tomorrow.
"Bye....." he hung up the phone. Kagome sighed and put it down. Inuyasha noticed how sad she looked.
"You ok?" he asked softly.
"Yeah. You guys have to go home tomorrow, we have to clean it up too, so they don't know you were here." She refused to look at him.
"Uh huh, we can do that."
"Yeah......" (Awkward silence)
The phone started to ring again. Kagome looked at Inuyasha as she picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hello my Kagome." Great, this is just what she needs, Koga calling her too.
"H-hi Koga. What do you want?"
"I simply wanted to let you know that I am planning on coming home before Naraku."
"......How much earlier?" she asked cautiously while looking at Inuyasha.
"Well, I'm planning on being home late tonight, maybe around one o-clock in the morning."
"Ok." Kagome sighed.
"See you then,"
"Bye."
"Oh yes, and Kagome?"
"Yea......"
"I haven't forgotten about your punishment." And with that he hung up the phone. Kagome set the phone down when she realized he hung up.
"Well?" Inuyasha asked. She sighed and looked up at him.
"Koga is coming home tonight. You guys have to leave." She said sadly. Inuyasha nodded.
"Well, why don't you try and get some rest, me and Miroku will clean everything up."
"Are you sure?" she asked trying not to yawn. He nodded. "Well, do you think that you could wake me up when you're done?"
"Sure thing Kag."
"Thanks."
Inuyasha left the room. He walked around and picked up everything in sight. He cleaned for what seemed like days until he remembered about Miroku and Sango.
"Where could those two be?" he asked out loud to himself.
That's when he remembered where he last saw him. In the car with Sango. 'Maybe I should look for him there.' He thought.
"Miroku." Inuyasha said as he knocked on the car door. "Miroku!" still no answer. Man this guy sleeps like a rock! Finally after getting bored with yelling he opened the car door and watched his friend fall onto the hard concrete. Miroku was now completely awake.
"What was that for man!!??" he stood up and brushed the dirt off himself.
"You wouldn't wake up." Miroku rolled his eyes. "And we have to go home, Kagome's brother is coming back tonight, I already cleaned up, Sango just needs to get her bag out of Kag's room." Inuyasha stated. Miroku nodded.
"I'll get her bag. You going to drive us home?" Miroku asked, then he noticed Sango starting to stir.
"Yea, I'll go get her bag, you stay here with her." and with that Inuyasha ran back inside.
"Hey Sango." Miroku said as he got into the car next to her. He shut the door to keep the cold out when he saw her shiver.
"Miroku?" she asked sleepily.
"Yes?"
"I know you didn't really win me the kitty." They both laughed, event though Miroku's sounded a little more nervous.
"Can we go inside?" he smiled; she sounded like a little kid when she was half asleep.
"No honey, we have to go home. We can't stay here any loner." His smile was so bright that if Sango had her eyes open, she would go blind.
"How come?" she asked whinily (AN.......that not a word, is it......)
"Her brother is coming home tonight."
"But I don't want to go home." She complained.
"I know, me either, but we have to sometime."
"*Sigh* yea, I guess so." They were silent for a while until Sango finally fell back asleep.
'Great' Miroku thought. 'Now I have to wait for Inuyasha alone.' He looked back down at the sleeping girl.
"I love her don't I?" Miroku asked himself out loud. 'Wow, where did that come from? I'm supposed to be a player! Awww man, this had to happen sooner or later.....but I do love her.
"I'd rather have Sango then all the girls in the world." Little did he know that Sango was not quite asleep............
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Back with Inuyasha~*~*~*~*~*~*
He ran up the stairs to Kagome's room and slowly opened the door. Just like the silver haired boy had suspected, she was fast asleep in her bed.
"Kagome." He almost whispered as he sat down next to her. She turned over so she was facing him. (She was still asleep.)
He gently put his hands on her shoulder and shook her lightly.
"Kagome. Wake up." She turned over a couple of times but didn't wake up. "Kagome, come on, I'm going to have to leave soon."
"No, don't leave." She mumbled. Inuyasha sighed.
"I know, I don't want to leave either. But I have to, and I really need to talk to you before I go." She opened her eyes slowly.
"What is it?" she sounded tired.
"*Sigh*" 'how should I say this?' "Do you really think that Naraku changed?" 'Once again, blunt.' Inuyasha thought.
She thought for a while. 'Maybe he really did.....I should give him a chance.'
"Yes." She answered. She sounded so sure of herself. He nodded.
"Ok then, I want you to know that you can call me any time. If anything happens, you know my number right?"
"Yep."
"Don't even hesitate, no matter how stupid you think it is, just call me ok?"
"Ok, ok, I will. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Ok?"
"Ok."
"Well then, I guess I'll see you in two days. I have to stay home from school tomorrow."
"Alright, see ya then." And with that he kissed her on the forehead and left with Sango's bag.
"Bye Inuyasha." Was the last thing she said before drifting off to sleep.
************1:05 AM***************
Koga came stomping into the house. He left his bag at the bottom of the staircase.
"Kagome!" the drunk male yelled out as he walked up the staircase. He slammed the door to Kagome's room open to find her sitting up rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
"Hey Kagome." He said with a smirk as he stumbled to her bed.
"Inuyasha?" she asked. The room was so dark that she couldn't make out who it was.
"Inuyasha!" Koga yelled out offended. "You thought that I was Inuyasha?" he put emphasis on the word 'I'. Kagome cringed. This was just great. He was drunk and mad at her.
"N-no."
"Alright then, as long as you didn't mistake me for him." He slurred his words slightly.
'Maybe there is a good side to him being drunk, he's not as smart.' She thought, unconsciously trying to make the situation better.
"Come on Kagome, let's go." Her eyes got wide.
"W-where?"
"You're gonna stay in my room tonight." He told her as he grabbed the scared girls arm. She struggled a little, but knew it was useless. Besides, she wasn't that scared, this had happened once before.
***Flashback*****
"Kagome! Get in here!" Koga was drunk, and Kagome was freaking out trying to stay away from him.
"Umm, I'm kinda busy right now!" she was huddled up in her closet with her arms wrapped around her knees. Unfortunately, he heard where she was when she yelled.
The angry boy slammed open the door and grabbed her by the hair.
"Koga! Stop! Please let go!" he ignored her and pulled her into his room. 'Oh no! Oh my gosh what is he gonna do?' she thought franticly as he threw her onto her bed. He climbed on the bed next to her and wrapped his arms around her. And that was it. He just held onto her, and when he finally fell asleep she went back to her own room. No serious damage done.
***End Flashback***
'Everything is going to be ok. It's going to be just like last time, an hour or so and he'll leave me alone. At least he's not like Naraku.'
Koga pulled her into his room and shut the door. After her locked it he threw Kagome onto the bed. 'Just like last time.' She thought even though she 'was' really scared.
He took off his jacket and looked at her. What was that she saw in his eyes? Lust? 'That wasn't there last time.' She thought as she backed up to the headboard of the bed.
