Hey guys! I'm so sorry for the late update, I have been too busy for words
lately. Plus my space bar on my keyboard doesn't work too well, so writing
has been extremely hard. Please review at the end of this chapter! I'll
love you forever if you do!
IMPORTANT:
DO YOU GUYS WANT:
Weekly updates and shorter chapters
OR
Updates every other week and long chapters?
(The size of this chapter would be right in the middle, I just need to get back in the swing of things, so I can have a day when I ALWAYS update.)
PLEASE TELL ME IN YOUR REVIEW!!!!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Chapter 17*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome woke up to Outkast's 'Hey ya' playing full blast 2 inches away from her ear. She moaned as she rolled over and turned off her radio alarm clock. 'Great' the sleepy teen thought, 'I have 45 minutes to get ready. She rolled out of bed and dragged her feet to her dresser. After picking out her school uniform, she walked out of her room to go take a shower singing,
"Shake it, shake, shake it like a Polaroid picture." She had her hand out shaking and imaginary picture.
****30 minutes later*****
Kagome walked downstairs, uniform on and book bag slung over her shoulder. She jogged to the kitchen and got an apple out of the fridge. As soon as she sat down at the counter Koga came in. she turned her head away from him. She hadn't talked to him since the 'incident' the night before.
****Flashback to the day before****
Inuaysha was cradling the shaking Kagome on the couch when Naraku walked in. both teen's heads' turned to him when he walked in. he sighed.
"I apologize for Koga's behavior. It will not happen again." He said seriously. 'I guess I can't move away this time, this guy seems smart, he wouldn't let her moving away slide. At this point it would be too suspicious, I'll have to build his trust first.' Naraku thought.
Inuyasha looked at him in suspiciously, but nodded.
"Kagome is lucky to have a friend like you, I presume you will take good care of her and watch after her? I have been going on a lot of business trips lately and can't look out for her like I should be able to." Naraku was actually sounding like a concerned dad. 'I think I'm going to puke, hopefully they can't see I don't really care' he thought, while keeping a straight face.
Inuaysha nodded.
"I'll be watching out for her." he confirmed. Kagome was speechless. 'He really has changed!..... But what if he's lying?' truth be told, she didn't know what to believe. But her hope was renewed, and she was doing better than she was about ten minutes ago.
Naraku informed them that he would be gone on a business trip the next morning, and was gone an instant later. Inuyasha left soon after that, promising Kagome that he would see her at school the next day.
****End flashback****
Koga took the carton of milk out of the fridge and chugged the remaining contents. He nodded towards Kagome as he threw the bottle away.
"You ready to go?" he asked monotone. She nodded hesitantly and stood up. He followed her out the door and they both got into Koga's car. The ride there was silent, and the second they got to school Kagome got out and looked around for Inuyasha, Sango, heck, even Miroku! When she was almost 20 feet away from the car Koga called her.
"Kagome!" he yelled to the retreating girl. She paused, but didn't look back. "Can we talk?" he asked sincerely.
She slowly turned around and walked back to the car with her head down. 'This better not have all been an act. If Naraku was saying that only because Inuyasha was there I'm gonna..' her thoughts were interrupted when Koga spoke. She hadn't even realized she had walked all the way back to him and his car.
"Look." he looked down at his feet and scratched the back of his head. "I'm sorry about yesterday." He laughed nervously. "Actually, uh, I'm sorry about....well, our whole life together. I just didn't realize.." She cut him off.
"That you ruined my life? That it hurt when you hit me? That I needed friends? That you scared me to no end?" she was close to tears, but forced them to stay inside.
He simply nodded.
"Please forgive me." He said the instant before he walked away. She shook her head sadly.
"Sorry Koga, I don't know if I can." With that she heard the first bell ring and dashed off to her first class.
She sat down next to inuaysha (on her right) and Sango (on her left) and took in a deep breath.
She was about to actually pay attention to what the teacher was saying when Inuyasha passed her a note. She took it from him and unfolded it with curiosity.
It said:
Kag,
How did things go with Naraku and Koga when I left? Are you ok? Is Koga acting differently?
Love,
Inuyasha
'Love?' she thought. She looked up to see Inuyasha giving her a concerned look, so she decided to write back. She wrote:
Inuaysha,
Things are better already......I guess. Naraku is already gone, and Koga apologized to me this morning, but. I don't know. It doesn't seem like he really cares. I don't really want to trust him.
She passed the note to him, deliberately not writing her name at the bottom. 'Should I have written 'love' or 'from'???' she thought afterwards. He read it and looked back at her. Since he had nothing else to say he crumpled it up and threw it into the garbage can.
'I'll have to talk to her at break' he thought just before the bell rang. When it did, the students all gathered their things and dashed for the door, eager to meet their friends.
Inuaysha waited for Sango Kagome and Miroku right outside the classroom door. As soon as they were all outside Miroku spoke.
"So, are you guys excited?" Miroku asked with a perverted grin on his face.
"What do you mean?" Sango asked suspiciously.
"You don't remember? We are swimming today in PE, that means little bathing suits!" he jumped up and down for a full 30 seconds squealing before he realized everyone in the hall was staring at him. As soon as he stopped everyone went back to walking as if nothing had ever happened.
Kagome grew a little nervous when she realized that today was the day. She turned to Inuaysha.
"I don't know if I can do it inuaysha." She said in a small voice.
"Its ok" he said putting an arm around her, "I'll be there with you. Besides, you're a pro." She blushed at first when he put his arm around her, shoulder, but soon got used to the idea and giggled at Inuyasha. 'Yea, a pro that has almost drown more than 7 times.' She thought sarcastically.
Inuyasha was about to ask her what was so funny, but Sango spoke.
"It's too bad that we don't all have that class together. Actually it's even worse that I have it alone with this pervert" she whispered the last part about her new boyfriend.
"I heard that." He said playfully, tugging on her ponytail as he walked behind her. He snaked is arms around her waist and rested his chin on the top of her head. Sango held onto his hands in front of her, making sure they didn't go anywhere she didn't want them to.
Inuaysha opened his mouth to say something but the bell rang, cutting him off, he sighed and walked with Kagome to their PE class.
He gave her a final squeeze on the shoulders and a kiss on the fore head before he went off to the guy's locker room while she went off to the girl's locker room. Five minutes later Kagome walked out of the locker room with some other girls and saw Inuyasha leaning up against a wall waiting for her.
He had his towel slung over his shoulder while her's was wrapped tightly around her waist. He walked up to her with a smirk on his face and led her to the pool where they were to meet their teacher.
All of the students lined up on the shallow side of the pool and set their towels down.
"Ok class! Since it is our first day in the pool this year, I am going to let you have 20 minutes free while I get the pool covers off the deep end! I want everyone to have a partner that you keep an eye on at all times!" Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other and nodded. "As soon as you have your partners you may get in the pool!" and with that said everyone jumped in, that is everyone but Kagome and Inuyasha. Luckily they were all too busy splashing and playing around to notice the two outside the pool.
"You ready Kag?" inuaysha asked grabbing her hand. She nodded hesitantly.
"I'm ready." She sat down on the side of the pool so that her feet were in the water and scooted in, letting go of his hand. Inuyasha jumped in and swam over to her. He stood up straight and shook his head; successfully fling the water on his hair all over her.
"Hey!" she yelled, splashing him right back. He laughed at her pathetic attempt to get him wet, even though he was already soaked. She giggled and dunked herself. When she came back up inuaysha was less than an inch away from her. She gasped when she saw the intense look he was giving her. Before she even knew what was happening, he was kissing her. Right in the middle of class. Not just a peck on the cheek, but passionately. On the lips.
"You two!" the Gym teacher yelled, "Break it up!" Inuyasha and Kagome both pulled away, blushing like crazy.
After 15 minutes of splashing and playing around, the teacher spoke, ready to begin class.
"Ok, everyone get into lane lines! I want four in each group, so each set of partners needs to find another." He sat down on a chair and watched everyone get into his or her groups.
Inuaysha and Kagome found two guys to pair up with. As soon as everyone was in lane lines the teacher stood up again.
"Now, you need to number off the people in your lane lines, the fastest person being one, and the slowest being four."
Kagome was four, inuaysha was one, (lets call the other guys Blake and Ricky) Blake was three, and Ricky was two.
"Ok, the number ones are going first, the twos are going second, and so on. This is so a fast swimmer never runs into a slow one when we start doing laps." He paused and looked at his sheet. "Every 20 seconds I will blow my whistle. The first time I blow it I want the number ones to go, the second time I want the number twos to go and so on. You will swim freestyle to the other side of the pool and wait for everyone else to get there."
"You can do this Kagome, don't worry, you will be fine. I'll be watching you." She nodded. And the teacher blew the whistle, signaling for inuaysha to go. He kissed her on the forehead and pushed off the wall. The second he was gone Blake was a little too close for comfort.
"So, Kagome is it." He said seductively.
"Dude, leave her alone." Ricky said seriously. Blake rolled his eyes and continued to look at Kagome. Not just at her face. That is what freaked her out the most. It was like he was sizing her up.
He placed his hands on her waist and stared to slide them down, all the way to her thigh. She was frozen. 'What do I do!!?' she thought franticly. She wanted to yell or push him away but her body just wasn't listening to her.
The teacher blew the whistle and Ricky gave Blake a meaning-full look before swimming off. Blake only ignored him.
"S-S-Stop." She stuttered. Shoving him lightly. He shook his head and continued to stroke her. One of his hands was playing with her bathing- suit, (the part at your hip) he had his index finger in her bathing suit and his thumb outside, just sliding his fingers along the fabric, occasionally pulling it away from her and letting go, making it snap, and the other hand was stroking her thigh, getting closer to.where she Really didn't want it. Luckily, the teacher blew the whistle and he was off in a flash. She shivered slightly and held onto the wall, trying to forget about him and waiting for her turn.
When the whistle was blown and it was her turn she took a deep breath and pushed off the wall. She was actually doing very well and made it to the other side with out any problems. She was extremely happy with herself for accomplishing that, and was even smiling. That is, until she saw Blake and was reminded of what he was doing only minutes ago. Inuaysha pulled her to the wall and hugged her.
"You did a great job babe!" he said with a bright smile. She was about to tell him about Blake, but the whistle was blown and he was off. Once again Blake was right by her side, trying to touch her.
"Get off of me!" she said trying to push him away. "If you touch me again I'll tell Inuyasha!" she paused in struggling when she saw the smile on his face. 'Why would he be smiling when I just told him I was going to tell on him?' she thought, worried at what he may have up his sleeve. "W-Why are you smiling?" she asked, leaning away from him as much as she could.
"If you tell Inuyasha." he was cut of by the whistle blowing, he let go of her and pushed off the wall. 'What could he possibly have to say? He couldn't blackmail me with anything, could he?'
When it was her turn she swam as best she could to the other side. Just as before, Inuyasha pulled her to the wall.
"I'm so proud of you." He whispered into her ear as he hugged her. He could smell fear rolling off of her, but figured that it was only because she was in the water.
"Inuyasha, don't leave me alone. Please." She looked up at him.
"What do you mean Kag? At home? Here?" he had a confused look on his face.
"I-I," she looked over to see Blake shaking his head. "I don't want to be alone in the water." Inuaysha sighed.
"Your not. Don't worry, Blake and Ricky are right here with you." He looked up to see the teacher blow the whistle. "Don't be afraid." He whispered into her ear before swimming off.
"Kagome." Blake said flatly. She turned to him. "Come here." She hesitated, 'maybe he will tell me what he was going to earlier.' She thought before moving over to him. "About you telling Inuyasha," he put a hand on her waist, she slapped it off, and he only put his other hand on her waist. "I don't think you want to tell him."
"Why wouldn't I?" she said more than asked. He moved in closer to her and whispered into her ear.
"I know where your little brother is." She gasped and pushed away from him.
"N-No! That's not true! He died!" he grabbed onto her arm and pulled her back shaking his head.
"No, you were misinformed. He survived the crash." He said as if it were a bad thing.
"Than what about my mom? Is she ok? Did she survive?" she asked hopefully. He shook his head no.
"Only your little brother."
"Than where is he!?"
"My step father adopted him after the accident. And as long as you do what I say and don't tell Inuyasha, or anyone, I wont hurt him."
"W-Well, where is he? Can I see him!??" she asked hopefully with tears in her eyes.
"I'll think about it." And with that, he swam off, before it was even his turn.
