CHAPTER THREE

Who Are You?

Kagome sat patiently under a shady oak tree, waiting for her friend, Sango. In her left hand was her cell phone, waiting excitedly for Inu Yasha to call. She thought he was a very interesting person, the dark yet soft look of his eyes, the way his hair was long and flowed all over… She had only known him for a short period of time, yet she was already entranced by him, thinking deeply about him, pondering what would happen between the two of them.

"Hey," a deep voice spoke behind her, and a hand gently touched her shoulder. "What's up?"

Kagome jumped up and turned around quickly, to find Kouga standing there, as he smiled.

"Aw, did I scare ya?" he said as his smile grew. "Sorry, didn't mean to do that…"

"Huh?" Kagome said and took a better look at him. "Hojo… right?"

Kouga's expression changed instantly, as sadness struck his face, and his smile disappeared. "No…" he sadly said, and lowered his head.

"Oh," she whispered and lowered her head as well. "I'm sorry… I didn't mean to… I'm trying…"

"No, it's…" his nose twitched. "Kagome? Are you crying?"

She shook her head and took a step back. "No…"

His expression softened as he reached out for her, and she slapped his hand away. "Don't touch me, I told you that I'm sorry!" she screamed. "I can't remember, I'm sorry! I can't help it! I'm such a klutz!"

"No, Kagome-"

"Just shut up!" she turned her back and ran away from the oak tree and Kouga, tears streaming down her face.

"Kagome…" Kouga whispered as he watched her run. "Please… don't be sad… I don't mind… If… only it could be me…" he turned around and walked the other direction, his hands in his pockets and his head bent low, trying hard to hide the tears that were streaming down his face as well.

"Thank you and have a nice day!" the cashier said as Inu Yasha paid for the things he bought.

"Yeah, you too," he muttered as he grabbed his bag of food and walked out of the store. Looking inside the bag, while headed in the school's direction, he picked out the meatball sub and unwrapped it.

When he was about fifty feet away from the school's entrance, nearly halfway done with his sub, he sat down and leaned against a wall and watched the on coming traffic pass by.

He took another bite out of his sub and opened up the can of coke that was left in the bag.

"Not as good as ramen," he muttered, finishing off his sandwich. "But better than nothing."

All of a sudden, in a blur, someone ran full speed by him. He looked up and didn't get a good look of the person's face.

"Feh."

Suddenly, the scent came to him, that wonderful scent of fresh flowers that he always smelled when around her. That meant that it only could be…

"Kagome!" he yelled. He jumped up and looked at her faint, running figure. "Hey, Kagome!"

He ran after her, repeatedly calling out her name, but she didn't answer, she kept running, farther and farther away.

Then it hit him. The scent of tears was fresh in the air. Immediately he ran faster, all of his concentration on the girl that was running in front of him…

Yeah, cut it short, sorry! But thought it was a good point… Going to work on the next chapter now, ja-ne!!
