OniyuriGaaruWow...that took me an hour and twenty minutes...that's got to be a record or something for me. My hands hurt....
Oh and just so everyone knows, this chapter you find out who sent Kagome the flowers, it's really stupid and pointless, but it gave me a laugh.
Hidden Amber
Chapter 18- Facing Him
Kagome groaned as she heard her phone ring that night. She had only been home from the club for a two hours and had only been sleeping an hour and someone was calling her in the middle of the night.
"Hello," she yawned into the phone.
"Kagome," someone whispered. "It's Rin, I have to tell you something."
"What?"
"Inu-Yasha was in Sesshomaru's office waiting for him to finish up and I asked him to bring the files from his desk to Sesshomaru so he could organize them," Rin broke down on the phone and was sobbing loud enough for Kagome to know, something was seriously wrong.
"Rin, what happened?" she asked.
"The files were pretty heavy I guess," Rin continued to cry. "He dropped some of the files and he saw your or the file fell open I don't know, but he read your file."
"You mean my employ file?"
"Yes," Rin blew her nose with a tissue.
"And if he read it...then shit! My resume copy was in there!"
Rin didn't reply as she continued to cry into the phone. Kagome fell back on her bed, still holding the phone in her hand. 'That means...he knows.'
"Where is he right now?"
"Sesshomaru is fighting with him, trying to stop him from going over to your place, he's not doing so good," Rin cried into the phone, more panic then tears.
"He is? Oh shit! I'm home by myself, what am I gonna do?"
"Go, to Sango's apartment, she stays there on weekends doesn't she?"
"Um yeah, I guess, well I better go then, I'll call you tomorrow!"
With that she hung the phone up and started to run around her room to get some things together, as she did she was waiting for Sango to pick up her phone at the apartment.
"Hello?"
"Sango, it's Kagome, I need to stay over there with you for a while," Kagome said in a panicked state.
"What…why?"
"Because Inu-Yasha knows about O.D.I and Sesshomaru's trying to stop him from coming over, but isn't doing a good job of it," Kagome practically screamed into the phone.
"What! How!?"
"He found my file my mistake," Kagome explained. "So can I come over?"
"Yes, come on, hurry," Sango said. "Oh, but one more thing, me and Miroku have made up."
"What, how? You were so angry at him a few hours ago."
"He has his ways, but never mind, just hurry!"
&&&&&&
Kagome entered the apartment as Sango opened the door for her friend. She looked around, it being her first time in the apartment. She held back a laugh, as Miroku was fast asleep on the couch in a very entertaining position.
"You didn't help him in that position did you?"
"KAGOME!"
Sango's yell was loud, but Miroku slept on, while Kagome laughed at her friends flushed face. "I know you'd never give in when he wanted some, I'm only kidding."
"Good, if you weren't I would have to taken my anger out on him," Sango sent her friend a wicked grin. "So come on, I'll make up the extra cot for you."
"You didn't trust Miroku in the same room right," Kagome laughed.
"Right on, I may love him, but I don't trust those evil hands of his."
&&&&&
Kagome stayed in the apartment for the weekend and had went home when her family returned from business, though, she was still too nervous to face her classmates, or even Inu-Yasha for that matter.
Sango brought her homework over so she could get some work done for school, as well as she informed her of some of the things that were going on at school.
She told her that the preps had all found out about Milla's identity and had told the whole school, as well as had made Milla a huge joke, calling her a cold-heartbreaking bitch.
Sango told her, "Inu-Yasha didn't look so good either, I hate to say it, but maybe we took things too far."
"Why? Did he do something?"
"No, he didn't, I mean, he's the leader, but he didn't do a thing, he stood by and watched them, he looked so hurt," Sango explained.
"Great, make me feel worst," Kagome, sighed. "I knew deep down inside that O.D.I was wrong, but all I cared about was making him feel like he made me feel."
"Oh, don't fret Kagome," Sango hugged her friend. "Besides, most of the non-preps really care, I had a few people come up to me and asked me when you were coming back to school, there's a nasty rumor that you are sick in the hospital."
"…Great…"
"Don't worry about it, oh and Kouga said he could get you the English notes, he said he was lost with them starting Romeo and Juliet."
"The most useless piece of writing ever," Kagome sighed. (I love Twelfth Night, but I hate Romeo and Juliet, I mean they know each other for only 12 hours, less then that, like 8 hours and they get married)
"Oh well, you better come tomorrow, who knows tomorrow you might be dying of cancer," Sango laughed. "Besides, you got a lot of people backing you up, don't be scared of Inu-Yasha, or his stupid friends."
&&&&&
Kagome sighed as she walked down the hall with Sango and Miroku, it was early and the halls were very empty, giving Kagome some time to be free of the preps.
"So, you think we should tell her," Miroku asked Sango.
"About the flowers you mean?"
"What flowers," Kagome asked.
"You remember those flowers you got a few months back in your locker?" Sango asked.
"Yes."
"Well, Miroku sent them to you," Sango pointed at Miroku while he blushed hotly.
"What?"
Miroku laughed nervously, "It's funny, I always get both Sango's and your locker messed up, the flowers were meant for her, I told Sango after we made up."(Yes it was stupid, but I had planned if since the beginning of this fic)
Sango stopped and looked at her watch, "We have about twenty minutes before class starts, Kagome you have some time to get to your first period class, I talked to Kouga, he should be there already, he said he'd watch out for you, same with Ayame and Rin. I really have to go now."
"Sorry Kagome, I can't stay either, I have to get to the radio room right now, no one you wants to hurt you should be here yet, just get to class and you'll be fine," Miroku gave her a strong smile. "Ja ne."
And then Kagome was left alone. She took in a deep breath, she could make it, and she only had one stretch of hall to go down to get to her English class. She'd simply just cut through the back hall, that way she wouldn't have to go through the prep's lounge.
So she started her way to her English class. It was quiet this morning; hardly anyone had arrived yet, leaving her to walk slowly throughout the halls.
There was nothing exciting hung in the halls. Nothing to special, advertisements for prom and that was about it. Nothing that she could do, everything at the end of the year was about the seniors.
She neared the end of the hall and she simply had to turn and go down a shorter hall to get to her class. She turned, but her breath was cut short as someone grabbed her and yanked her so she was facing away from whoever had grabbed her.
They had their arms around her in a body lock. One arm was around her stomach, and the other going around her shoulder, locking her into place. "Let go of me," she said as she attempted to get free.
"No." they simply said. Though after that Kagome's eyes had widened and she started struggle even more then she already was. She knew who this was, she was being held in place by Inu-Yasha.
"Let me go!"
Of course being as stubborn as she was he wouldn't let go of her. She struggled and had even tried to kick him where it would hurt, but he sensed it and stopped her. "I just want to talk."
"Well I don't want to, let me go now!" she screamed at him. She prayed that somebody would hear her cries and find their way to save her.
"If somebody finds out your doing this to me, you're going to be so sorry, so just, let me go."
"Your threats don't scare me Kagome," he said holding her now tighter. "I said I'm here to talk to you, and I'm going to talk to you."
"Fine, but don't expect me to answer you cheerfully or completely telling you the truth either."
"Good enough for me," he quickly turned her so fast that before she knew it, she was pinned to the wall, and facing him. "First off, who came up with O.D.I?"
Before Kagome answered she finally looked at him for the first time since she had last saw him four days ago, but her first time looking at him after he found out.
Sango hadn't been kidding when she said he looked horrible, more like a train crash to her. The bags under his eyes were deep and dark, and he cloths were plain and boring, which wasn't like him at all.
"Sango and I."
"Who made the plans?"
"I came up with them as things went on."
"What does that mean?"
"You asked me out, and I went alone with things," she answered. "We were planning by what was going on."
"How long were you planning on fooling me before you were going to complete your little O.D.I mission?"
"As soon as we knew weather or not you had fallen for Milla," she answered. He still pinned her in place, forcing her to look at him when he was asking her questions. When she answered this one he seemed to look deeper into her eyes.
"You mean fall in love with you."
"No, Milla," she looked away at this point.
"Fine," he growled, he was getting angry. "Tell me, how much of the things that Milla told me was a lie. Was anything she told me the truth, or was it all a lie."
Kagome stared in shock. He questions before were simple and almost too easy to answer; now there was this bombshell. He stared at her so intensely that scared her a little. How was she to answer this?
He was staring at her so intensely she pretty much lost her way with words. He waited, but continued to stare at her with his golden orbs. But suddenly that was gone and he shook her once so that she was wide and a where again.
"How much of it was a lie?" he asked again, but this time with a hint of darkness in his voice.
'I have to stop this,' her mind screamed. 'Get him to stay away from him once and for all. You know deep down inside you don't want to hurt him, but you have you. You're an actress, now use your talents.'
She knew it was true, so she put on her best angry face she could through her emotional stage. She looked sharply at him, taking him off guard. "Everything."
Just that one simple look and one word struck him hard in the face. His eyes widened, and Kagome knew then and there, when he had asked her, he was looking for some hope, that she really did care. And she and smashed it as well as ripped his heart out.
His let go of her and stepped away. "That's all I wanted to know…Kagome." With that he turned and when down to the direction of the lounge.
This left Kagome to stare at where he stood a second earlier. She looked to the ground. The preps were right, she was a cold-heartbreaking bitch, and she had proved them right.
"I'm sorry Inu-Yasha," she whispered. "But it's better this way, I'm not worth your tears."
