Friends are forever
Kagome Higarashi, a girl of sixteen years who lives at a shrine is cold and distant and seems uncaring of those around her. Nothing seemed to faze her and after a while people stopped trying to make friends with her at school, though her grades were good and she never had any trouble with subjects. She had always pushed people away but no one knew why and those who tried to find out soon gave up. The only people who knew anything about her was her family, but they too were distant from everyone.
One day at school though, a new kid showed up. This kid was none other than the half-demon Inuyasha. He had a hard life as a half-demon, being shunned from society and he was only allowed to go to this all-human school because of special circumstances. The circumstances being that the demons at his old school would beat him to a pulp every time they saw him and there where no half-demon schools in the world. Thus Inuyasha never trusted anyone and never tried to make friends.
This story is a story of how the half-demon and the girl found comfort in each other in the short time they had together.
Kagome's JournalThe library was closed today after school. It was a small thing but it made me sad, for some reason only small things do that to me. When I got home mom asked me how my day was, something she never does, but I told her anyway. There was a new kid in my class today, a half-demon boy. When he entered the room everyone was surprised and when he took a seat next to me everyone but me moved a little farther away. He seemed surprised that I didn't move away and stared at me with wide surprised eyes. I just smiled a little at him, and then the teacher came in and introduced him as Inuyasha. Later at lunch when I was sitting at my lone table, Inuyasha came up to me and asked why I wasn't scared of him. I said "I'm sorry, should I be?" and he took me for being a cocky bitch and I know this because that's what he called me and stormed away. At least I won't have to worry about him trying to become my friend.
Then Kagome closed her journal and sighed 'though it would be nice if he did' she thought, then finished her homework and went to bed.
The next day at school though, early in the morning before anyone else got there, Kagome was sitting on a bench studying the next chapter of her math book when Inuyasha showed up. He was wearing a dark red tank top and baggy red pants, which Kagome had to admit, looked good on him and something else caught her eye. At the top of his head where two white dog-ears which were twitching around trying to catch all the sounds around them, she couldn't believe she hadn't noticed the day before. What surprised her most about him though was that he came to sit down next to her on the bench.
After a few minutes of fidgeting Kagome couldn't help herself anymore and reached out to touch them.
"Hey, what the hell do you think your doing?" screamed Inuyasha to her face after jumping out of his seat.
"I'm sorry but I just couldn't help myself anymore. I had to touch them, they're so cute" she replied in a monotone voice.
"Oh. Is that why you were fidgeting around so much?" he asked
"Of course, why else would I fidget?" she replied in the same monotone voice.
"None of your business!" he said then walked away around the corner of the school where she couldn't see him anymore. That was weird he thought as he continued walking.
Kagome just ignored the fact that he just left or was even there at all and continued reading her math book. The only thing she didn't ignore was the fact that his ears were so soft and cute. I was hoping he wouldn't try to be my friend, she thought, but I guess that's inevitable now because of the way I acted towards him. I shouldn't have let my feelings slip, I should have just acted like everyone else when he entered the room, I shouldn't have talked to him. Maybe its not too late, maybe I can still dissuade him from being my friend, but even as she thought that she knew she wouldn't try anymore. She was tired of being alone, without friends or even family.
Suddenly she heard a noise, like a crowd cheering on a fight, a very large crowd. This normally wouldn't have caught her attention let alone make her care but she heard a few fraises being called out that made her blood boil, like "stupid half-breed!" and "go home demon spawn!" This made her completely forget her books and run to where the cheers were coming from as fast as she could go. When she got there she was horrified at what she saw.
There was a large crowd of people surrounding Inuyasha, all were either kicking him punching him or cheering the others on. Some people had even thrown stones at him and he was bleeding from multiple cuts and scratches. He didn't appear to be fighting back or even calling for help, all he did was hold up his arms in defense and try to find a way out of the crowd, but he couldn't because they would block his path every direction he went. Kagome tried to get through the crowd but they were violently into the fight or rather the lynch mobbing, of Inuyasha the half-breed. When she saw someone pulling a knife out of Inuyasha and him fainting she screamed,
"INUYASHA! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING! GET AWAY FROM HIM!" shocked, the crowd stopped momentarily but that was enough for Kagome to get to him and wrap her arms around the now unconscious hanyou. If nothing else she could protect him from the mob with her own body. Though it didn't seem as though she needed to because now the spell was broken and the mob lost interest, especially since their quarry seemed dead and wouldn't react to them anyway.
"Inuyasha! Hold on, I'll get help!" Kagome cried, and took off to the office to tell the principal and call an ambulance. When she got there though, she was met with the fact that no one was there so she used the phone anyway to call an ambulance and rushed back to Inuyasha's side. Inuyasha was still unconscious when the ambulance came and the paramedic started to ask stupid questions like "what's a demon doing at a human school?". Kagome started to get frustrated and yelled at him and then he said she couldn't come with them and she started yelling even more until he finally gave up and let her come. At the hospital Kagome made sure that Inuyasha was treated properly, even though there were demons and humans she still didn't trust them to take care of him.
All day long Kagome stayed at the hospital with Inuyasha, not caring in the least that she was missing school, though that used to be the most important thing in her life. When she was younger they had even bumped her up a grade and she could have gone more because of her dedication and she would have too if her mother hadn't held her back. She was even being offered a lot of scholarships for good schools, though she did miss a lot of school because of her "illnesses" that her grandfather made up.
Kagome stopped thinking about school when Inuyasha started to wake up, "Ohayoo gozaimasu, or should I say Konban wa? You were out most of the day you know." She said in her monotonous voice.
"Oh damn! What the hell? How did I get here? And wasn't I just being attacked by a mob?" Inuyasha asked clearly puzzled and completely ignoring Kagome.
"No, you were being treated by doctors, the mobbing happened this morning though I understand how you could be confused, those doctors are vicious." She said adding, "your welcome by the way, I saved your life from those thugs at school you know."
"Pff, I didn't need your saving, I coulda handled myself." Was his only reply and then neither of them said anything for a little while until Kagome asked,
"Why didn't you fight back?" another long pause "you could have easily overpowered them but you wouldn't even threaten them, how come you didn't try to defend yourself?"
But Inuyasha refused to look her in the eye and they stayed that way until a nurse came in and shooed Kagome out saying visiting hours were over.
That night Kagome walked home arriving very late, and though her mother had been waiting for her she didn't ask where she'd been or why she took so long or how come she didn't have her school stuff, she just let Kagome go to her room and sleep.
A/N: well this is my first story ever and if I don't get any reviews I may not continue writing this. I don't care what kind of reviews I get though if I get flames I might be less inclined to continue this story and I may kill myself because I'm mentally unbalanced. Think of my family, oh wait they wouldn't care if I died. Never mind then! Thank you for at lest reading my story. Be happy, later!
