The A-list

Chapter Eleven

Hugs and Kisses

Kagome walked down her humble abode's spacey halls, down to her father's office on the first floor, before she had to head off to school.

"I wonder what he wants to talk about with me now." She muttered absently. "I haven't done anything wrong that I know of." She tapped her chin and turned down a hallway. Soon she was at her father's door and she knocked softly.

"Come in, dear." Kagome twitched at the name and turned the doorknob, stepping into the well-furnished room.

"You called for me, father?" she asked quietly, with respect.

"Mm. Please. Have a seat." He motioned for her to have a seat, with the wave of his hand. Kagome obliged non-too-willingly and took a seat in one of his cushioned office chairs.

"What do you wish to speak with me about?" Kagome sat with her hands in her lap, folded.

"It's about your birthday coming up. I wanted to tell you that I'm throwing an all-white affair." Kagome smiled.

"Really? Here in the house?" she asked.

"No. I'm going to rent out a huge ball room and I'm going to hire caterers, a nice orchestra band, and great decorators." Kagome smile dropped.

"Is this for my birthday, or a business party?"

"Well, yes there will be important adults their. But your friends can come to." Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Fine, dad. You can have this time for my party, but on my actual birthday, I'm going to have a beach party."

"Sure. What ever makes you happy." He nodded and looked at his planner. "Shall we have the all-white affair the weekend before your birthday?"

"Sure." She shrugged. "If that's all?" she asked while standing up.

"One more thing. What is your relationship with this Inuyasha kid we've taken in?"

"We're just best friends." She replied, wondering where this was going.

"Okay. That'll be all then. Have a nice day, honey." Kagome rolled her eyes and walked out of her father's office, wondering why he wanted to know.

"Now today class, we will be discussing…" Kagome laid her head down on her small desk and closed her eyes. She really didn't want to have to learn at the moment. What fun would that be? It was the period before lunch, so why not sleep and then eat?

Inuyasha looked over at Kagome's sleeping form in the very back of the classroom, same row as him, two desks away, and smirked while rolling his eyes. Leave it to Kagome to fall asleep in class. He took out a piece of binder paper and scribbled a note down on it, before folding it into a paper football and flicking it at her head.

Kagome jolted from her light slumber when she felt a prick on the side of her head. Blinking her eyes to adjust to the light shining into the classroom, she stretched and looked for the reason to her discomfort. It was a little paper football, with the words scribbled in pencil: to my sleeping beauty. Kagome rolled her eyes and looked at Inuyasha who was whistling softly and pretending to look engrossed in what the teacher was saying. She opened up the note and read the contents.

Wake your lazy ass up and pay attention.

She glared at the messy words scribbled on the paper and pulled out her own writing utensil. After writing her say, she flicked it back to him, and he caught it, without glancing in her direction.

I'll wake my lazy ass up when I feel like it. Right now though, it's time for dream land. Byebye!

NO! Don't go back to sleep lol. I'm so bored. Talk to me pretty please-pouts-

Gawd! You make me to everything! Haha. Ok fine. What is the teacher talking about anyway?

Stupid shit. That's what. What are you doing for your birthday?

Hmm. My dad is like holding this all-white affair. You're going as my date, cause there is no way in hell I'm going by myself.

What if I don't want to go?

You have no choice, puppy.

Oh no you didn't. I know you did not just call me a puppy ((

And if I did?

You're gonna be in a world of pain.

AHAHA! Good one puppy. You're too cute. Like you could hurt me.

Don't tempt me woman. –rolls eyes-

Someone is in a bad mood. You know I love ya kid. Stop acting like I'm always mean to you.

Inuyasha looked over at Kagome with a blunt expression on his face.

"aren't always mean to me" my ASS!

What's that supposed to mean? I'm way nice! To everyone! HATER!

Kagome chucked the note back at his head extra hard for emphasis.

Ok. You win. I'll go to the damn affair with you.

I knew you'd see it my way. I think I have someone whipped?

NOT COOL! There will be no whipping unless it's in the bedroom!

LMFAO! Yeah right. That day will never happen! Keep dreaming puppy!

Secretly though, Kagome hid her blush. She couldn't believe that he even said that. Though it was funny, images flooded her mind and she tried to get rid of them by vigorously shaking her head.

The bell rang, signaling for the end of class and Kagome gathered her books and ran out of the classroom, still managing to look graceful. She did not want Inuyasha to see her blushing.

"Hey Kagome! Wait up!" Inuyasha called out as she reached her locker. 'Speak of the devil and he shall appear.' She thought dryly. She turned around with a smile on her face and looked up to see Inuyasha, confusion written all over his face.

"Why didn't you wait? You were in such a rush." He stated the obvious, and Kagome turned back around to her locker and twirled the knob with her combo.

"Sorry. I'm so hungry, I must not of realized I was running." She lied and put away her old books and pulled out her new one's for the next two periods.

"Oh. Well. Okay." He said readjusting the strap of his backpack onto his shoulder. "Walk with me to my locker?" he asked. She nodded as she shut hers and off they went to a different hallway. As they walked along in a comfortable silence, Kagome thought about what her father had asked her that morning.

"What is you're relationship with that Inuyasha kid we've taken in?"

She really didn't know why he wanted to know. It was an odd question. Hopefully he wouldn't say something like they couldn't be friends or something. She shrugged to herself, and decided she would ask him about it later. Right now, it was time to grub.

The last school bell rang, signaling the end of the school day, and students fled from their hell prison cells, known as classrooms. Lockers banged, footsteps echoed and chattering adolescents made up all the noise in the hallways.

Inuyasha flattened his ears against his head and sighed. He when he could hear all the annoying conversations of his peers around him. Every noise was louder due to his heightened senses, and it was times like these that he hated being a hanyou.

Soon, however, the hallways were empty in the blink of an eye as everyone went home. Kagome and Inuyasha just met up with Sango and Miroku and were walking down the hallway to go home.

"Your birthday is coming up isn't it Kagome?" Miroku asked, with a smile on his face. Sango's eye twitched.

"PERVERT! GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY DAMN ASS BEFORE I ENVELOPE YOU IN A WORLD OF PAIN!"

"I'm sorry, cupcake?" he asked weakly, before being beaten to a pulp. Kagome and Inuyasha shook their heads at the racket and pulled Sango off of the poor kid. Inuyasha picked Miroku off the ground and pinched him before he came back from his dazed expression. Soon they began walking down the hall like before, except for now, one member of the group was limping.

"As Miroku was saying. Your birthday is coming up!" Sango cheered.

"Yes. I suppose it is." Kagoma nodded with a small smile on her face.

"Well, what are you going to do?" Miroku asked.

"Beach Party." She stated simply.

"OH MY GOSH! That will be so much fun!" Sango squealed.

"Are you on a sugar-high?" Inuyasha asked lightly.

"No. I'm just excited. Get off my back puppy."

"Will everyone stop calling me a puppy!"

"Nope." Kagome laughed softly and ran ahead to get away from Inuyasha. She, however, stopped dead in her tracks at the sight before her. Not that she should have cared, but right in front of her, Koga was making out with some slut. Everyone caught up, and Sango gasped in anger.

It was weird. Kagome shouldn't have cared. But she actually did. She knew it was wrong to "like" Koga because she couldn't be with someone else, but he was still her…sorta friend. He even made promises to her about being faithful and how he loved her and all that gooey shit. Well? What about now? She couldn't get mad at him. They weren't going out. And she knew she shouldn't have believed him when he said all that stuff. But last night, the little bastard, was saying all this shit like, 'You're my woman forever!' What about now?

Beside her, Inuyasha growled and Miroku even let out a war sound. It happened in slow motion, but before she could blink, the two teens had pushed the girl away and beaten Kouga to the ground, Inuyasha getting in the most hits.

Inuyasha and Miroku stepped away from the now beaten demon, and walked back over to the girls. Inuyasha growled back behind him, before grabbing Kagome's hand and walking out of the school.

"You really didn't have to hit him that hard," she mumbled quietly. They were in Inuyasha's room and he was lying on the floor, her lying on her stomach on his bed, her looking down at him. They had Trapt – Echo playing softly in the background.

"He deserved it. He makes me so angry." Inuyasha said quietly.

Close my eyes
Let the whole thing pass me by
There is no time
To waste asking why
I'll run away with you by my side
I'll run away with you by my side
I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride,
(Asking why)

Kagome sighed softly, and patted the spot next to her, on the foot of his bed. He got up slowly, and stocked over, then lie down on his stomach next to her.

"It doesn't matter. He's not, like, my boyfriend or anything."

"But still. He made you promises. And he couldn't even keep them."

"We all make mistakes."

"STOP sticking up for him, okay! He did deserve it. I wouldn't have punched him if he didn't!"

"Calm down!"

"I am calm!" she frowned and lay her head on his shoulder.

I think about your face
And how I fall into your eyes
The outline that I trace
Around the one that I call mine
Time that called for space
Unclear where you drew the line
I don't need to solve this case
And I don't need to look behind

"Don't be a stubborn ass. Just be quiet. I'm tired of arguing." She said quietly. Surprisingly, he obeyed and just lay there lost in his own thoughts. He flipped over onto his back, and Kagome smiled as she got on top of him, and just lie there. Instinctively, he put his arms around her waist and she buried her head in his chest.

Do I expect to change, the past I hold inside,
with all the words I say,
repeating over in my mind,
somethings you can't erase, no matter how hard you try,
an exit to escape is all there is left to find.

"Inuyasha?"

"Hmm?"

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"Being you. And for caring about me."

"Feh." He muttered quietly, but Kagome knew what he really wanted to say.

(I know I always loved you)
(I know I always loved you)
(I know I always loved you)

"Kagome?"

"Hmm?" she asked with content.

"Will…will you stay with me forever?" she lifted her head and looked at his blushing face.

"Forever. I promise."

"You won't leave me?" he whispered.

"Never, Inu." She whispered back quietly. He flipped them over and kissed her on the forehead softly.

So I close my eyes
Let the whole thing pass me by
There is no time
To waste asking why
I'll run away with you by my side
I'll run away with you by my side
I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride,
Until this echo, echo, echo, echo in my mind
Until this echo, echo, echo, echo can subside

"Okay."

"I have to go." She said with regret. "I need to do my homework." It wasn't an excuse but she didn't want to feel hurt like this. Where she could be so close, but not be with him. She pushed him off her lightly and halfheartedly and got off the bed before walking to her room. Inuyasha looked at her with a confused expression, but she didn't give way for explanations as she closed his door and went to her own room…to cry.

Inuyasha was sitting on his concrete balcony railing, just thinking about what happened earlier. He wanted to be with Kagome so bad, but every time he tried he was interrupted or he just couldn't get up the nerve to tell her.

And what saddened him the most was that when she left, he smelt and heard her crying. She was upset. And he made her upset. It was his entire fault. He promised he would never hurt her. Yet he did.

The confused teen frowned and shook his head, angry with him self. How could he have done that to the one most important person in his life?

He suddenly heard footsteps and looked up to see Kagome standing in his balcony doorway, an inquisitive look on her face. She was standing there in a pair of shorts and a sweatshirt, with flip-flops on her feet.

"Inuyasha? What do you do when you have feelings for someone?" he looked at her in silence and got off of the railing as she came forward.

"I guess you tell them." He whispered as she came in front of him and gripped the sides of his T-shirt. Tears were coming down her face slowly, one by one, but he stopped them with gentle kisses.

"What if you don't know how to tell them?" he lifted up her chin and looked her in the eyes.

"You should try."

"But what if, you try, with all your might, but you just can't tell them."

"Show them." He stated simply.

"But you don't know exactly what their reaction will be. You don't want to jeopardize your friendship."

"Show them." He stated again.

"Okay. I will." She sniffled, then leaned her head up and pushed her lips to his. He was surprised at first, but came to when the thought of his dream girl kissing him, registered in his mind. He kissed her back fully, tangling his hands in her hair and pulling her closer by the waist. This is what both of them wanted. For so long. When they came back up for air, Inuyasha had a joyous look in his eye.

"I suppose my ideas aren't half bad." He joked. She smiled and kissed him again, this time making sure he knew exactly how she felt. He pulled back slightly. "I love you." He whispered. Kagome's face lit up.

"I love you too."
