CHAPTER 12 - Falling Off
Once the two finally stopped swirling around on the iced over ground, Kagome let go of Inuyasha a bit to look at his face. "Inuyasha?…"
He groaned. "Damn, that hurt…"
Kagome quickly slid off of the hanyou's body. "I'm sorry. Are you okay?"
Inuyasha slowly sat up, rotating his neck a bit to get it back into whack. "Keh, did you really think that something that small would hurt me? You really are a dope."
Kagome then remembered that she was angry at him. Instantly her face turned fierce with anger and resentment. "Well, sorry for caring about you a bit, you insensitive jerk! You'd think I would've learned by now!" she stood up slowly, and forced herself over to the frozen grass area nearby.
Once she got there, the miko heard a loud thump behind her. She turned around, and saw Inuyasha scrambling back up to his feet. The moment he did, he attempted to run again. "NO, WAIT! I DIDN'T MEAN IT! KA-" thump. Inuyasha's head hit the ice once more.
The hanyou's body slowly slid over to where Kagome was. The miko looked at his pathetic form, head on the ground, limbs outstretched. With much effort, she pulled him off of the ice and onto the frozen grass. Inuyasha slowly sat up from his laying position, and gave the ice patch now behind him a taste of his infamous death glare.
"What didn't you mean?" Kagome asked. Her arms were crossed, lips pursed, eyebrows arched angrily. It was all Inuyasha could do from not laughing. "You know, you're too damn cute when you're angry. Scary, but cute."
Kagome was now fully awake. Her eyes wide open, along with her mouth, Kagome attempted to find words to speak. Didn't work all that well.
Inuyasha's eyes went wide as well. "Did just say that out loud! Aw crap!" he started pounding his fist to his forehead.
"W-w-what didn't you mean?" Kagome asked again, now attempting to actually look mad. The hanyou before her saw straight through Kagome's pitiful masquerade, and smirked. "I know you're not angry."
"Really!" Kagome somewhat yelled, starting to come back up to her anger. She kept on thinking back to what he had said about Buyo, who as the family found out today when he woke up, definitely was not the same cat.
Memory -
Miroku was once again playing chess with Morobuku in the living room. (KPK- Lemme guess, it was a tie.) The two seemed to have taken up a wonderful liking of the game, and now it was almost sport to watch them. From what Kagome had been told by Sangarouka, Morobuku had been trained while with Zephuru to be a tactician. (KPK- Remember, boys and girls, the reincarnations of Sango, Miroku, Shippo (deceased), and Inuyasha (deceased) worked with Kamiko-Zephuru before the whole 'wind child' thing happened is whacked in head for interrupting too much) He could work out brilliant battle plans, some worthy enough to win a war, she had said.
Miroku, although he was a perverted monk, was still a monk. Thus meaning that he had been educated in multiple different things, including battle. It had taken him a while to get up to Morobuku's level of making tactics, but the houshi had done it.
Kagome watched the two duking it out, smiling a little bit from the two's serious faces. Sango was also nearby watching Miroku. "Whoa, now what are you going to do? That's almost impossible to beat, isn't it?"
"Watch, my dear Sango, and be amazed." Miroku flirted. He grabbed hold of his rook, and moved it over to take Morobuku's knight. He smiled happily. "Check."
Sango rolled her eyes. "Congratulations. I nev-"
Rub, rub.
SLAP!
"Keep your hands to yourself, pervert!" Sango yelled, walking over and plopping down on the sofa. She took up one of the game controllers of Sota's X-Box, turned on 007, and began to shoot the crap out of the computer players.
Kagome laughed.
Buyo came through the open living room door. Dragging his back legs behind him, the large cat made his way over to Kagome. She took him in her arms, completely oblivious to Inuyasha's small growl from behind her. "Hi Buyo. Remember me?" she asked, placing a fake smile on her face.
The overweight cat purred with content, moving his head a little closer to Kagome's hand that was scratching his ear.
Buyo's eyes suddenly shot straight open. He began hissing like crazy, and released his claws on Kagome. "YEOW!" she yelled, accidentally, throwing the cat up in the air.
A moment before Buyo would have hit the ground, Inuyasha outstretched his leg, catching the cat perfectly. Buyo hissed loudly, and jumped off of the hanyou's leg. He landed loudly, considering he only had two working legs. The cat began to hiss at anything that moved, including the T.V. screen.
"Buyo!" Kagome cried, walking over to the cat. He viciously scratched her leg.
The over weight cat suddenly started shivering all over. He huddled up in his small spot, too afraid to look at anything. Kagome walked over and slowly started petting the terrified cat softly. 'Buyo… What is going on in your head?…"
End Memory -
Kagome moved very close to the hanyou's face. "Well, if I'm not angry, then I why am I listening to you! I should be back in my room and working on my homework!" Inuyasha's eyes were rather wide open in shock. He hadn't seen her this upset before. 'What the…?' "Look Kagome…"
"NO!" She yelled at him. The miko stood up, and began to walk away.
"Kagome, about the thing with Buyo…"
"YOU THINK THAT THIS HAS TO DO WITH BUYO!" She yelled. Inuyasha could smell the salt of her tears rolling down her cheeks. The miko turned straight around to face the now standing hanyou.
"It doesn't?"
"HELL NO! IT'S NOT ABOUT BUYO AT ALL! IT'S ABOUT THE FACT THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU KNEW HOW I FELT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO BUYO, YOU STILL DECIDED TO ACT LIKE IT WAS NOTHING! LIKE I WAS NOTHING! I REALLY THOUGHT THAT YOU CARED ABOUT HOW I FEEL ABOUT SOMETHING BUT IT'S OBVIOUS I WAS WRONG!" She cried. Kagome turned straight around on her heel, and ran. All that was said just then, all that she just yelled at the one she thought she loved till the end, her conscious hadn't even been aware of. No clue did she have that her heart was torn up more and more by every time she thought back to all the times when he hadn't cared, Inuyasha screwed up and did nothing about it. Like when he yelled at her to go back to her time after assuming that she was with Kouga, and after she came back, he apologized about killing her alarm clock.
Inuyasha bolted up from his spot on the ground, quickly catching up with her. He latched onto her wrist, strength refusing to let go.
"LET GO OF ME!" Kagome screamed, pounding against his chest with her fist. Tears of frustration and hurt continued to stream down her cheeks as the hanyou grabbed onto her other wrist, leaving her no way of escape. Kagome knew he was stronger than her, but still struggled. "LET ME GO!"
"NOT UNTIL YOU LISTEN TO ME, WENCH!" He yelled back. He forced Kagome into a position that her eyes met with his.
Kagome suddenly felt paralyzed. Her heart pounded loudly in her ears, just looking into Inuyasha's eyes so full of worry. It had been a while since she saw that in him.
"Would you at least listen to me?" he said, much softer and sweeter than he had spoken before. The sound of Kagome's racing heart slightly bewildered Inuyasha, unable to tell if it was from the running she had started or from what he was saying. He slightly blushed.
"Fine," she said back, slightly sniffing. 'That would have sounded a lot better if I didn't look so pitiful…'
"Look the only reason why I was that crappy about Buyo getting hurt n' stuff was 'cause I… I was…" he stopped attempting to say it. Inuyasha slightly bowed his head, looking at Kagome like a little puppy dog. It was all the miko could do from not clobbering him for cuteness.
Then it hit her like a eight wheel semi. Kagome grew the greatest look of disbelief in her eyes. "You were jealous!"
He flinched. "Damn, do you have to say it like that?"
The miko's mouth was wide open. She sat down on the frozen grass, followed soon after by Inuyasha. (KPK- Isn't it a little cold for that? Ow! Stop throwin' stuff already!) Kagome just couldn't get a grasp on the topic. Jealous? "What would there be to get jealous about over a cat?"
Inuyasha fiddled his fingers, blush rising even more so to his face. 'I-I-I-I… I can't tell her… not yet… can I?'
Kagome tilted her head. "Inuyasha? You there?"
No response.
"Hello!" he started knocking on his head like it was a door. "Earth to Inuyasha…"
"Hmm? What?"
She threw her arms up in the air. "You're hopeless, you know that?" she stood up, and began to once again to walk away. The hanyou began to panic.
"I-I-I-I was jealous over you!" he then slapped his hands over his mouth.
If it was possible for Kagome Higurashi's heart to get shot to the moon, land safely, and then whiz around the universe in three seconds, come back to earth, and land back in her chest, then that's basically what just happened to her.
That girl turned straight around wide eyed as all get out. "Did you- Why did- Just how- why would- eh- I mean- er- uh- um- NANI!"
Inuyasha returned to hanging his head again. "I… I was jealous over you. I mean, draping yourself over that cat and completely ignoring everyone else…"
"You mean you."
"Fine, I meant me. I just… rg, this is so damn hard."
Kagome had her anger soothed over as she walked back over and sat next to the hanyou. However, her heart rate was just the opposite. "Why would you get jealous over m-me, Inuyasha?"
"I just answered that."
"Oh, right…"
The two teens kept on trying to think of something to say, but their brains just went dead. Finally, after several minutes of awkward silence, Kagome got something to speak about. "The only reason that I did any of that was because I was worried about him, Inuyasha. I was worried about if he was going to die or not. Buyo has been my non-talking friend since the day we got him as a kitten. I was just worried about a friend…"
Silence.
"That's pretty much the same reason that I 'drape' myself over Kouga when he gets hurt, too."
Inuyasha popped a few thousand blood vessels. "Keh, that mangy wolf isn't worth anything to get worked up over. Unless you love him, Kagome." He practically spat out the last sentence.
"That is the last straw! Inuyasha, no matter how many times all of us knock it into your skull, I don't like Kouga! The only reason he's even a friend of mine is 'cause he didn't eat me when he brought me back to the wolf demon cave, alright!"
"It's not all right, wench," he said stubbornly crossing his arms. "There ain't no way in hell that I can believe that unless someone else told me. Going on your word alone would be stupid."
She was getting rather desperate. "You idiot, how could I love him when I love-"
"Question," Yoshima said, popping her head out from the tree above the two. The miko shot up about ten feet up in the air. "Who's Kouga?"

Aie, this will be interesting. Btb, I just decided that I wasn't adding enough detail in my work, so the chappies will hopefully resume usual length 'cept with more detail. Of course, this will most likely also mean that there will more than 30 chapters in this story, but hey, it'll be patience work for the third story.
