Chapter 4: The walk home
Kagome waited by the tree in front of the school after the last bell had rung like Ayame told her. She sat down by it and waited for Inuyasha and Ayame, Inuyasha told her to go ahead and wait for him there so he could go to his locker. After a minute or two she searched through her backpack for her cd player and started listening to it.
" . . . .crawling in my skin . . . these wounds they will not heal . . . fear is how I fall . . . confusing what is real." She was humming to herself until she felt someone tap on her shoulder.
"Hey you ready to go?" Ayame was crouching down beside her with her head phones resting below her ears and her cd player in one of her oversized pockets.
"Uh yeah, just let me put my cd player up." She turned it off and stuffed it back into her backpack, and got up on her feet.
"Hey where's Inuyasha?" She asked.
"I'm coming, I'm coming." She heard from behind her.She turned around to see Inuyasha standing behind her.
"I was beginnning too think you two left me."
"And why would we do that?" asked Ayame.
"Let's just get going ok." Inuyasha started walking a few steps ahead of them. They walked for a little while with Inuyasha ahead of them and them chatting on and on.
"So how did you like your first day?" Ayame was walking with her backpack across one shoulder and her music turned down low, but still noticable.
"It was . . " she seached for a word to describe it. "Different." Then she turned her head torwards Ayame and whispered. "Is Inuyasha usally so quiet?"
Upon hearing his name Inuyasha turned around.
"What the hell are you two talking about?"
"You would know if you weren't off in your own little world, you big idiot." Ayame rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"What did you call me?" Inuyasha yelled back at her stopping in the middle of the sidewalk. Ayame looked at Inuyasha and pushed past him.
"I dont belive I studdered, you big egotistical werido."
Ayame took off running as she said the last words, with good timing too Inuyasha glared at her as she was running and took off after her. Kagome not wanting to be left behind quickly started after them. Ayame noticing that Inuyasha was right next to her started running torwards a park that Kagome had saw on her walk to school. Inuyasha jumped forward and sent Ayame and himself tumbling forward a couple of feet. They both got up panting Ayame panting much harder than Inuyasha.
"You . . . are. . . such . . . . . a loser. You . . big . . . dork." She reached forward and tugged hard on his bangs then turned around to look where she threw her backpack and cd player. She saw them tossed carelessly by the sidewalk she went to get them. Kagome was standing a few feet away laughing at them. Inuyasha looked over at her smirking.
"And just what is so funny?" He asked looking lazily over at her.
"You two act like brother and sister, its cute."
"Well we might as well be related we've known each other for, I think it's been . . . .um . . . . " Ayame looked up trying to think, racking her brain for the info she wanted.
"It's been eight years we've known eachother since the fourth grade, and Im the loser? Right."
"Oh yeah I rembered of course how could I not know, but a better question how the hell do you rember how long it's been?"
"How could I not, the day I met you is the same day I met Kouga, that stupid. . . . murmur. . . . "
Kagome looked over at Ayame wondering who the hell Inuyasha was talking about. Ayame must have caught on because she quickly anwsered her questioning gaze.
"My husband to be, him and Inuyasha hate eachothers guts. Just can't stand eachother, I think it's because it's so hard to fit both their ego's into a single room."
"And thank you Ayame for that wonderful opinion, but the reason me and that pain in the ass can't stand to be in the same room is because he is . . ." Inuyasha trailed off not able to find a reason.
"Like I said it's the ego. There isnt any other reasonable anwser."
"Yes there is, Im just not too sure what it is right now. And Kouga is never going to agree to marrying you, so why keep trying?"
"Because it's what my parents want and until there is a good reason for our parents to break the engagment off I have no other option." Kagome looked surprized for a moment, then asked Ayame, "Your parents are forcing you to marry some guy?"
"Well, I've known him for a long time, and he's almost just like Inuyasha over here", she pointed to Inuyasha at which point he gasped from shock then went off on a whole nother cursing streak Kagome was to preocupied listening to Ayame but the jist of it sounded something like " Me like that. .just a .dumb wimpy wolf . . .a. . stupid son of a bitch. . . . pain in the.. . . i'll kick his. . .no way in hell. . ." she thought filling in the blanks wouldn't be to hard, but Ayame continued as if she didn't even hear him going off like there was no tomorrow. "But a little more cocky but they have the same egotistical and arrogant air around them and we're definetly not strangers so I guess I've never thought of him as some guy. But, yeah I guess that's how it sounds. . .huh? Oh well, it's not that they're cruel are anything they just want our familys to be joined, him and I are both wolf demons. Hince the tail and claws nicely manicured by the way." That got i giggle from Kagome and a roll of the eyes from Inuyasha. "We're from different tribes though."
Ayame looked off into the sky thoughtfuly after turning up her music. They started walking home again. Kagome kept her gaze on Inuyasha, well the back of his head really as soon as they started walking he had taken his earlier spot walking a few steps in front of them. His hair shone with the sun beating down on it the color silver shining as beautifuly as liquid silver every so often the wind would blow sending it wisping about. Feeling as though he was being watched he turned around to see Kagome staring at him.
"Is something wrong?" Snapping out of her daze she shook her head slightly to the side.
"No of course not, why?" Ayame slipped the blarring headphones off her ears and down around her neck.
"Hey Kagome we're at your house." Kagome turned and looked at the house and relized Ayame was right.
"Oh by the way we're all heading to the mall tomorrow you wanna come?" Giving Kagome no time to anwser she took a pen out of her pocket, grabbed her arm, then scribbled something down."Here's my number call me and let me know. Well, see ya." She said bye then went into the house. After setting her stuff down and coping Ayames number down on a piece of paper she went to take a bath. Where she thought about her first day at the new school and her new friends. . . . . Inuyasha.
