I am so terribly sorry! I've been very lazy nowadays even though I did promise to update monthly… excluding April… testing… Forgive me please! This chapter is a short one because I want to make the deadline. Today's May 31st… My next chapter will be the longest one yet! I updated all my past chapters and stuff so it'll b a little bit easier for ppl to understand because I sure as hell didn't understand it myself… lol! I'll also need new ideas cause I've got a bad case of writer's block! (dun dun dun) Thanks to my reviewers and supporters! You rock!
Summary: Inuyasha was dared to pretend to have a crush on Kagome Higurashi for a month. A month later, Kagome finds out about the dare. Will she still like Inuyasha or will she be heartbroken? Did Inuyasha like her or was it all an act?
All An Act?
Chapter 7: Short…
Day 9 (continued)
As Kagome turned around, she heard a whirring noise approach her at breakneck speed. Right before the arrow was impaled into her face, she saw something white and then was pushed out of the way of the arrow by something heavy. Then she blanked out.
When she finally awoke, she noticed her surroundings. She was in the hospital ward. Sango, and Miroku were by her bedside, looking gravely worried. As Kagome tried to get up, Sango immediately propped her pillow up behind her. As soon as she got comfortable, she asked "What happened to me?"
Sango started to reply "Well, Kikyo shot an arrow at your head when she lost." (talk about a sore loser!)
"Then Inuyasha pushed you out of the way and was hit in the chest by the arrow." filled in Miroku. (Inuyasha is taller than Kagome, so the arrow didn't hit Inuyasha's head)
"Oh my gosh! Where's Inuyasha now?" Kagome asked forgetting about her own injuries.
"Right here." someone grunted from the left of Kagome's bed. It was Inuyasha. Kagome immediately brightened up and ran to Inuyasha forgetting her own injuries momentarily.
"Are you alright? Does it hurt? Does this hurt?" Kagome asked as she poked Inuyasha's injury. She immediately regretted it when Inuyasha hissed in pain. Before anybody could say another word, the school nurse entered the ward. She excused the four students and wrote them a pass then shooed them back to class.
As the four friends walked down the halls to class, they began chatting. "What happened to Kikyo?" inquired a curious Kagome. After she asked, her three friends broke out into laughter. This got Kagome peeved. "Are you gonna tell me or do I have to find out myself?" she all but whispered.
"Okay, okay, we'll tell you. Just don't kill us." replied a fearful Miroku.
"Well, Kikyo will be suspended for the rest of the month." informed Sango.
"It starts on Monday though… she's still going to the dance this Friday." Miroku told her.
"I heard that she begged the principal on her knees to go to this dance. When I heard that I couldn't stop laughing!" chuckled Inuyasha.
When Kagome heard all this, she couldn't help but giggle. She giggled all the way back to gym and presented their hall pass to Mr. Totosai. They went to the table to get their equipment, then started shooting again. No sooner had they finished up with all their arrows, it was time to go. The four friends cleaned up their work areas then got ready to be dismissed.
When school was over, Inuyasha walked Kagome home while Sango and Miroku went the other direction to give them "time" together. A little way down the block, Kagome started to discuss the story with Inuyasha. Inuyasha had nowhere to go so he obliged. Before they even got to Kagome's house they finished the story.
"I'll type it up tonight as a first draft, then we'll review it and correct it. Then we'll finally be finished with it!" cheered Kagome.
Inuyasha just grunted and continued walking. Soon, they reached the shrine and Kagome walked up the long shrine steps. She waved to Inuyasha from the top of the steps then went inside of her house.
Inuyasha walked home and finished his homework like a good student. When he was finished, he ate dinner (he made it himself) then watched television. Then he went to sleep and waited for the next day to come.
