Not Pretty Enough
Chapter 7: Kikyou 'n stuff
a.n: I'm special. I just pulled another completely random title out of my ass. I should get like an award or something… o.o
Disclaimer:
Rumiko: What a freak.
Kasey: Tell me about it.
Me: Yeah! Tell me about it too!
-everyone gives me a blank stare-
Rumiko: We're talking about you.
Me: Oh… Well then. Tell me about it.
Kasey: -shakes head sadly- There is no hope for this one.
Me: I don't own Inuyasha or not pretty enough! Tell me about it!
"Inuyasha…" Kagome asked quietly, confusion clear in her chocolate brown eyes. What was he doing here? Didn't he have something against Kikyou? Maybe she had things all wrong. At the sound of her voice Inuyasha jumped up from his sprawled out position, his red sweater contrasting with the black of the room. She heard a thump behind her as Kikyou shut the door, and when Kagome turned to look at her she saw her pale skin and glistening eyes standing out clearly.
"Kagome… what are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked, and she pulled her eyes off the menacing looking Kikyou to stare into his amber orbs that also reflected in the dark.
"I was wondering the same thing…" She said quietly, wondering what possible reason could explain him being in the room of a female he was supposed to have an extreme dislike for.
"I needed to talk… to someone." Inuyasha stuttered finally and looked toward Kikyou. She suddenly flipped on a light, and smiled at Inuyasha.
"Yes. Isn't it odd that the person you wanted to talk about showed up? I also find it odd that she is Kagome." Kikyou's voice kept its same sickly sweet tone as she addressed Inuyasha. Now that the lights were on, Kagome could clearly see a blush forming on Inuyasha's face.
Kagome wasn't too dense to figure out the person Kikyou was referring to was her (seeing as Kikyou had mentioned her name) (a.n: Yeah, as you can tell I didn't notice I had mentioned Kagome's name until after I wrote this..: P), but why did Inuyasha want to talk about her? On top of that, why to Kikyou? Maybe he knew that Kagome used to be friends with Kikyou or something and thought they might still be in touch. She shrugged. Maybe it had to do with the incident that afternoon and Kouga. Inuyasha stood from the bed and walked toward the door.
"I'm getting out of here…" He muttered as he walked by Kagome, and walked out. Kagome was left standing there, staring awkwardly at Kikyou.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" Kikyou said suddenly in a much harsher tone of voice. Kagome was startled by her sudden speaking, and it took her a few minutes to regain her composure.
"Well… I've heard rumors… about you and Mr. Naraku. Are these true?" She said when she finally found her voice again. Kikyou stared at Kagome, her eyes narrowing.
"Why can't it be?" She snarled, every word dripping with venom. Kagome looked around, searching for how to say the next sentence.
"You… you never were like that before I left… you were really… well, nice." She said finally, hoping Kikyou wouldn't take this the wrong way.
"People change, Kagome. Not everything can fit into your little princess fantasy world. Get the hell out of my house." She hissed, her eyes flashing with anger. Kagome didn't need to be told twice. She turned, and walked down the stairs and out the front door. When she was out on the sidewalk again, she breathed a sigh of relief. Thank god she was out of there. Kikyou was right. She really had changed. Kagome shrugged, and started walking back toward her house when she heard a voice from one of the fenced in yards.
"Kagome, come here." It was Inuyasha, and he was standing in front of an equally large house next to Kikyou's. Kagome looked around hesitantly, then walked through the open gate. There was Inuyasha, sitting in a tall tree. Kagome blinked up at him.
"What are you doing up there?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. Inuyasha blushed, and hopped down.
"How do you know Kikyou? What were you doing there? You better not be one of her friends." He hissed, and Kagome could tell he was serious.
"What the heck are you talking about? I can be friends with whoever I want to." She said, not liking the way he was talking to her. His tone of voice suggested she was more of an object than human. Inuyasha glared at her.
"It was all a trap then. Everything. I thought you were different." He muttered, and looked seriously hurt.
"Wait, what? I'm not really Kikyou's friend. I used to be, but she really changed…" Kagome said hurriedly, wondering how she had hurt him, if it was even her. He didn't give her an answer; he just smirked and strutted back to his house.
(a.n: Okay, I know this doesn't really make sense. How can Inuyasha live by Kikyou and ride Kagome's bus? If that inconsistency makes you want to riot, I'm sorry. I don't know how to explain it…)
Kagome shrugged, and started on her walk back home. What an odd day this had been. What was with that Inuyasha guy anyway? He had been nothing but rude and distant to her, and now he was concerned about her friendship with Kikyou… Maybe it had more to do with Kikyou than her, she thought sighing. Wait, why did she feel sad about this? Was she starting to like him? EW! No way!
But on the other hand… he was really cute.
Kagome ran the rest of the way home, and flung open her front door. Her mom shot her a look, but didn't ask any questions. Kagome was up in her room before she had the chance to. Kagome flopped on her bed and looked around her dimly lit room. Boxes of stuff she hadn't unpacked still littered the floor, but she didn't really care. She had to call Sango to ask more about Inuyasha… like if he was single.
a.n: Aw, young love. Did you know that 95 of high school relationships don't last past graduation? Hehe, sorry if that just crushed any of your hopes there. : P
