Author's Note: Alright for the notes to peeps:
For that unknown person (and you probably reviewed this long time ago but I just now read it ;);;;;; ) there will be no lemon at the end of this story. But don't worry for you fans. This is actually a PG-13 story (okay maybe not...) but I'm playing it safe and Hojo was a bad boy :). Anyways, the point is, I have a plan (I sound like John Kerry...) that will fill everyone's need okay? Nough said, on with the damn story.
Last Time...
I'm in love with you
Cuz I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
"I'm in love with you InuYasha. You and only you."
Chapter 21
InuYasha's Heart
"Don't worry InuYasha!" Eri said, smiling evilly, "We know the perfect song! Don't we girls?"
The other girls nodded, "Yep."
"But does Kagome know it? I don't want to ruin the surprise," InuYasha said, nervously glancing around. He was just waiting for Kagome to pop out of nowhere. He was planning and things were getting risky.
InuYasha, however stupid we all may think he is, still could not push away the feeling in his stomach that Kagome was going to leave him for Rian. He had asked Eri, Yuka, and Arisa if they could help him and they immediately began to plan. They had pushed Kagome off with their own boyfriends who had taken her into the cafeteria for a drink (a/n: NOTHING ALCOHOLIC! lol).
"Nope. It just came out. I'm sure you know the song yourself. It's called Over and Over," Eri explained.
"By Nelly and Tim McGraw?" Yuka asked at InuYasha's confused look.
InuYasha shook his head, "Nope. Haven't heard it."
"That makes everything even better!" Arisa cried, doing a little dance in place. InuYasha and the other girls stared at her for a moment, large sweat drops rolling down their heads.
Once Arisa was done doing her little "jig", the girls formed a small huddle and InuYasha wished he had his dog ears so he could hear what the hell they were saying.
When the girls finished conversing, Arisa quickly left and zigzagged between the crowd, heading toward the door of the gym and cafeteria.
"Kagome's coming so be ready," Yuka suddenly whispered in InuYasha's ear, scaring him half to hell.
Soon (too soon in InuYasha's mind), Arisa returned with Kagome in tow, with the girl's boyfriends following behind them.
"InuYasha can YOU tell me what's going on?" Kagome asked, a confused look on her face. InuYasha didn't want to lie to her but he didn't want to spoil her surprise... whatever that surprise was anyway.
"Um... I'll tell you later, okay?" Kagome noticed the pleading look in his eyes and decided to ignore her confusion. She trusted him on telling her like he said.
"Okay, we should be ready any minute," Eri said happily once she reappeared. Neither InuYasha nor Kagome noticed she had left.
"Eri, what's going on? You guys are planning something, I can tell," Kagome said, placing her hands on her hips and sticking her bottom lip out in a cute pout. InuYasha smiled to himself, telling himself not to pick her off the ground and kiss her.
"You'll see Kagome," Arisa said, smiling happily. Suddenly, Kagome heard the music to a song begin to play. She had never heard it before.
"Kagome," InuYasha said, holding out a hand, "Will you dance with me?"
Kagome quickly nodded and took his hand. InuYasha wrapped his fingers around hers and lead her back to the famous corner. Kagome could have sworn her friends were beaming when they left.
They took the usual stance and Kagome leaned forward, resting her head on InuYasha's chest.
"Listen to the music," InuYasha whispered in her ear.
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause it's all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can't take it yeah I can't shake it
Nooo
I can't wait to see you
Want to see if you still got that look in your eyes
That one you had for me before we said our goodbyes
And it's a shame that we got to spend our time
Being mad about the same things
Over and over again
About the same things
Over and over again
Ohh
But I think she's leaving
Ooh man she's leaving
I don't know what else to do
I can't go on not loving you
"InuYasha," Kagome murmured, pulling away slightly to look up at him. "Does this have anything to do with Rian?" InuYasha merely nodded.
"InuYasha you know I only love you!"
"Yeah but... it hurts so bad. Just the thought of you two together..." InuYasha paused as the main chorus began to play again.
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can't keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again yeah
And I can't take it yeah I can't shake it
Nooo
"InuYasha, you know I could never leave you!" Kagome protested but InuYasha silenced her with a soft kiss.
"But you went with Hojo," InuYasha stated, looking away slightly.
Kagome looked at InuYasha; she couldn't believe this! InuYasha was actually doubting her! He must have asked help from Eri, Yuka, and Arisa for the song help but still...
"InuYasha," Kagome tried, wanting to make InuYasha believe her.
InuYasha didn't look at her. He couldn't. He didn't know where his heart sat. He knew he loved Kagome, that was fact. But did she love him? That... was the question.
"InuYasha!" Kagome snapped at him, forcing him to look at her by setting one hand on each side of his face, pulling him to her.
Kagome stared hard into InuYasha's eyes but didn't see anything that could help sort out his feelings.
I remember the day you left
I remember the last breath you took right in front of me
When you said that you would leave
I was too damn stubborn to try to stop you or say anything
But I see clearly now
And this choice I made keep playing in my head
Over and over again
Playing my head
Over and over again
Ohh
I think she's leaving
Ooh man she's leaving
I don't know what else to do
I can't go on not loving you
Kagome smiled, "You do know you are very stubborn? You won't listen to me, you won't listen to your heart." Kagome leaned forward, resting her forehead on his. InuYasha smiled slightly.
"InuYasha.." Kagome continued, "You know what your heart is saying. You know I love you. Just listen to your heart. I love you, and only you. I could never love someone as much as you."
InuYasha smiled brightly before kissing the tip of her nose, their foreheads still touching. After he broke the soft sweet kiss, InuYasha smiled slyly, "What about our first pup?"
At the Kagome blushed furiously and InuYasha laughed before folding his arms around her. Kagome continued to blush, maybe not as red, as she curled up against his chest and welcomed his warmth.
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can't keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can't take it I can't shake it
Nooo
"InuYasha, I'm sorry," Kagome murmured, her face still buried in his chest.
"About what?"
"Well... if this is how bad you felt about Rian, I can't imagine how bad you felt when I went with Hojo. I'm so sorry."
"No, it's okay. I realized you missed me as much as I missed you." InuYasha smiled to himself.
Now that I've realized that I'm going down
From all this pain you've put me through
Every time I close my eyes I like it down
I can't go on not loving you
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can't keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can't take it I can't shake it
Nooo
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can't keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can't take it I can't shake it
Nooo
"Did it keep replaying itself in your head?" Kagome asked. "The whole question scene?"
"Yeah... and that damn mistake I made. I couldn't shake it, like in the song. I felt horrible. Especially when that song came on. I really did feel invisible to you."
"You may have been invisible in my eyes, but you certainly were very clear in my mind. I couldn't get your smirk out of my head or how hurt you looked when I started to dance with him."
"Yep, I was pissed."
Over and Over again
Over and Over again
Cause it's all in my head
As the song ended, the two separated. But InuYasha didn't let go of Kagome's hand.
"InuYasha, how did you pick that song?" Kagome asked. It was a wonderful song, if you ignored the situation it had pressed onto her, and she had actually enjoyed it.
"I didn't pick it. Your friends did. I explained myself to the guys and they asked the girls. I have no clue what the songs was even called or who sings it."
"We can ask later," Kagome replied, stopping.
When Kagome stopped InuYasha turned and faced her, "What's wrong? Why'd you stop?"
"InuYasha, you know I love you but... do you love me?"
InuYasha was suddenly at her side, his arms around her and pulling her to him.
"Don't you ever think I don't love you again. I love you with all my heart and nothing can ever change it."
Kagome smiled, "Gotcha."
InuYasha pulled back, confused, "What?"
Suddenly, Kagome pressed her mouth to his in a forceful kiss. InuYasha responded as any smart guy would and kissed her back.
After a brief moment, Kagome pulled away sharply.
"What the hell was that for wench?!" InuYasha asked before quickly adding, "Not that I didn't enjoy it."
"Just a kiss." Kagome smiled at him mysteriously and InuYasha suddenly had the feeling that she knew something he didn't.
"Can I have a hint?" InuYasha pleaded, wanting to know what she was thinking of and what had brought on that fiery kiss.
"Let's just say, it's about something you said earlier. And I was just responding." Kagome continued to smile.
"Whatever wench," InuYasha murmured, giving her quizzing stares.
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!" a tissed picked Kagome, even though she was smiling from the nickname.
"Too bad wench."
"STOP!"
InuYasha chuckled but still ignored her request. Scooping her up bridal style, InuYasha kissed her forehead while whispering, "You'll always be my little wench."
