Disclaimer: last I checked, I don't own Inuyasha.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Chapter 23*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha pulled into Kagome's driveway and got out of his car. As he jogged up the front steps, he thought about what Kagome said on the phone.
'She said that Koga was mad at her....... I wonder why.' He didn't even bother knocking and just opened the door.
"Kagome!" he yelled, directing his voice up the stairs. He got no reply. "Kagome, come on! You're going to be late if you don't get down here!" he yelled louder than before. Still no reply.
He sighed. Great. Now he had to walk up the massive stairs to find her. 'I'm gonna get her for this.......' He thought in mock-anger as he stomped up the stairs.
"Kagome!" he yelled one last time before knocking on her door.
"Coming." Came a meek voice from the other side of the door he leaned against. He sighed and waited patiently for her to come out into the open. In a matter of seconds she appeared from behind the door, looking at the floor.
"Hey, are you ok Kagome? You seem a little nervous or something." Inuyasha asked/stated, sounding concerned. She simply nodded and continued walking down the hall towards the stairs. As she descended the carpeted steps Inuyasha decided to push his question farther, feeling that something was wrong with her.
"Are you sure?" he pulled her to a stop and lightly touched that back of his hand to her fore head. "You don't feel hot...." He looked like he was pondering something.
"That's because I'm fine." She said still looking down. He looked at her suspiciously, but continued to walk. She followed suit and continued their walk to his car. When they reached it, she opened the passenger side's door and climbed in.
They rode to school in silence, with Kagome looking out the window and Inuyasha pondering, not exactly paying as much attention to driving, as he should be.
When they reached their destination, Inuyasha literally had to clap in Kagome's face to get her out of her dream like state.
First period was uneventful. However, third period, the class that Kagome and Miroku had alone was another story.
"Hey Kagome, would you like to work with me on this lab?" Miroku asked her after the teacher had explained their assignment. She nodded with a weak smile. "I'd be happy to." She said, faking a normal reply. He only noticed, and noticing with out acting is nothing. Luckily he knew this.
"Great, lets get to work then." And so they began their project, only speaking about the work, and only when necessary.
Finally, Miroku decided that he needed to investigate why Kagome suddenly was acting different. After absolutely no planning at all, he spoke.
"So, Kagome, how have you been lately?" he asked shakily. She looked at him nervously. 'How could he possibly suspect anything? I've been acting perfectly normal...' she thought to herself reassuringly.
"O-ok." 'Way to be smooth Kagome...' she kicked herself mentally. He nodded, acting convinced.
"That's good. So, what did you do yesterday? After school that is." He spoke casually.
"Oh nothing...I went to bed right when I got home." 'Why am I lying to him?'
"Is that so? Because I thought I saw lights on at your house pretty late last night..." he knew he had her cornered. She knew it as well.
"Well...I forgot to turn the lights off...."
"But wouldn't Koga turn them off? Look, Kagome, I need to have a talk with you." He said concerned. She looked at the floor and nodded, giving him permission to begin, not like he would have kept silent had he not gotten permission. "I know something is up with you. And I also know that it has something to do with Koga..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
With in the next hour, Kagome had spilled the beans about what Koga had started to do to her, and why she didn't tell anyone. He listed and comforted her through the rough spots, and let her know that he was there for her. After class, he helped her tell Inuyasha.
However, Kagome felt no better then before she got that off her chest. She still felt dead, emotionless. And she knew that she would forever be stuck with her stepbrother and father. There was no escape. There would always be guys like Blake out there. And they would always come after her. Things just sucked, and she didn't think that there was anything to do about them anyways, so why complain?
Miroku called Sesshoumaru later that day and told him about the situation with Koga still being evil. And suddenly Sesshoumaru couldn't take it anymore either. He was sick of Kagome being hurt. He loved her. Not like Inuyasha loved her, but like he loved Rin. That's when the idea struck him. He had the power to save her! Why was he so blind before?

Hey guys! I missed you all so much! I am so sorry for the late update and short chapter. But as most of you who read these little things at the bottom of the chapter know, I've been having a rough time with life in general. My grades are getting worse, my mom died, my dad is going psycho and I have to share a room with my little sister. Things kinda suck. Its weird though cause I'm always so happy....except for the occasional emotional breakdown.....anywho, I will update faster next time, I think this only has a chapter or two left! It's a little depressing! I love writing this so much; it will be weird for it to end. Please review!!
