Any way…I have to get at least a few reviews before I update though, you know! I just want to know if people like it, so please review!

Chapter 9: What Happened At Lunch. Scroll One.

Kagome looked long and hard at the Hanyou.

He just stood there, the bell rang signaling Lunch, and he just stood there, not moving, it didn't even look like he was breathing.

"Uh, Inuyasha?" Kagome tenderly touched his shoulder.

He shuddered at her touch, but then looked at her. His expression was a forced smile, and it looked like to Kagome like he was doing his best to fight back tears welling up in his eyes. He swallowed the lump in his throat and coughed.

"Well, I guess, we'd better get to lunch." He said, trying desperately not to lose his tough guy act.

It was the only thing that he had left to hide behind.

Kagome noticed his change in appearance and attitude, but didn't mention it. But there was something else she noticed too…

"Inuyasha, why aren't you eating?" Sango beat Kagome to her question.

He shrugged apathetically. "I'm not hungry."

Sango glanced over to Miroku, who nodded.

"Inuyasha, you need to eat." Miroku said cautiously, he didn't want to upset him.

Inuyasha nodded, but didn't move.

Sango sighed.

"Inuyasha, you still, well, need to get you're strength back, please eat something." Sango begged.

Kagome looked at the Hanyou.

'What did she mean by, get his strength back?' Kagome thought.

Inuyasha looked up at Sango.

"Stop worrying Sango, or you'll have wrinkles by the time you're 20." He said jokingly.

Sango didn't laugh, she didn't even smile, she just glared.

"Look, Sango, I'm not hungry, that's all there is to it! I'm not wasting money, to buy a lunch, that I'm not going to eat, so get off my back." He said, not really angry, just frustrated.

Sango looked at him with her soft eyes, pleading with him.

He hated it when she did that, they had been best friends since they were in diapers, and that glare, ALWAYS made him feel guilty. But this time, he wasn't backing down.

"Where are you going?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha stood up.

"The bathroom, why, do I need your permission?"

"No, I just, was…" He cut her off.

"Good, mind your own business." He said and began to walk off.

Sango gave Miroku a death glare.

"Wait up Inuyasha, I'm coming to." Miroku said.

They headed for the double doors, that led down stairs.

"Sango, why do you care if Inuyasha eats? I mean, what's the big deal, he's not hungry." Kagome said when the Hanyou was to far away to hear what they were saying.

Sango sighed.

"Well, it's a long story…" She started.

"I love long stories." Kagome said.

Sango sighed again.

"Kagome, does Inuyasha look, skinny to you?" Kagome thought about Sango's question.

"I guess…I mean, I haven't seen him any other way…"

"Here." Sango said, she got out a picture with her Miroku, and Inuyasha posing stupidly for the camera. Kagome looked at the picture, and she gasped at how different Inuyasha looked.

"What, happened to him? He, he was so, muscular and now he looks…" Kagome stopped and looked up at Sango.

"Well, it all started about, 7 weeks ago, when Inuyasha, just stopped eating lunch. For awhile, we figured that he was just going home and eating after school or something, but then, after about 2 weeks went by, we started to notice him change. He was losing weight rapidly. In two weeks, he went from weighing 180 pounds, to 140.

Me and Miroku were concerned, no, I take that back, we were scared. We tried to get him to eat, but he wouldn't.

Another week went by and he lost another 20 pounds.

One more week went by, and it was Friday. He had lost another 20 pounds. It was frightening, how weak he had become, how easily he bruised, and how slowly he healed. And how he looked like it took everything out of him, just to breathe. That afternoon, in chemistry, after lunch, which he once again didn't eat, he looked weaker than usual. He began coughing and his eyes glazed over.

He broke a rib that day, when he coughed, and he passed out in class, falling out of his chair and onto the floor.

I was so scared, I thought he was going to die. We spent 4 days in the hospital, we never, not once left for more than 5 minutes, before he woke up."

Kagome blinked at the end of the story. "So, it's only been 2 weeks since then?"

Sango nodded.

"So now, I make SURE he eats, because I won't let that happen again. He never even gave me a REAL reason to why he didn't eat for so long…" She said.

Sango's eyes weld up with tears, and she quickly wiped them away.

"Oh, Sango…well, if he still insists on not eating when he gets back, after Miroku talks with him, we could always go to WacDonalds and then he'd probably eat, right?" Kagome asked hopefully.

Sango grinned. "Kagome, you're a genius!"

"Um, Sango, I was just wondering, do you, uh, like Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, her cheeks slightly pink.

Sango's eyes widened.

"No. No I don't, he's more of a big brother to me."

Kagome sighed greatfully.

"Why, do YOU like him?" Sango asked with a stupid grin on her face. Kagome blushed involuntarily.

"So you DO like him." Sango said edging forward.

"N-No, No I don't" She stuttered.

"Uh huh." She said unconvinced. Kagome sighed.

"I don't, really. Sango, wipe that stupid grin off your face, I don't like Inuyasha! he's a jerk and he's all wrapped up in himself and…what, what are you pointing at?"

Sango had a nervous look on her face and she kept pointing behind Kagome.

Kagome turned slowly, to have her face buried deep into a red muscle shirt. She looked up at the annoyed Hanyou.

"Um, Hi Inuyasha."
"You know what! Forget it! Why would I ever have even thought, I can't believe I…" Inuyasha yelled at

himself. He turned around to face Miroku who was just coming up to the table.

"So, how did it…goo…" Miroku stopped at the look on Inuyasha's face.

"Forget it! She Hates Me, I hate her! nuthin doin!" He yelled and walked out of the cafeteria once again.

Miroku glared at Kagome.

"If you were going to say no, you could have done it a little nicer." He said, he was about to walk away…

"Say no to what?" Kagome asked, Miroku turned back around.

"You mean, he didn't ask?"
"Ask what?"
"I can't believe he didn't even ask…" Miroku said to himself.

"Ask Me WHAT!" Kagome yelled.

Miroku ignored her and went after in the direction of where Inuyasha went.

A/N Next chappie is what happened with Inuyasha and Miroku when they first left the cafeteria… what was Inuyasha gunna ask Kagome? And why did Kagome have to say that about him, so that now he's upset?
