Chapter 2 – Unrequited Love

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or anything that has to do with Inuyasha.

A/N: I've decided I'm not going to post all these "A/N's" anymore…not in this story at least, so last A/N, I really would like to thank everyone in advance…if you leave a review, I'll love ya forever. So, I have one so far (Let's not have one every chapter though please) And…enjoy the story!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Now, does anyone know what time period Sengoku Jidai was in?"

Kagome tapped her pencil impatiently on her desk. 'You've got to be kidding me…' She thought when no one raised their hands. 'Like it's a trick question.' She sighed aggravated and banged her head on the desk. 'Social Studies is just so boring now…'

"Higurashi…" Her teacher started.

"Eh?" Kagome lifted her head up.

"Why don't you answer the question?" Her teacher asked pointing the chalk at her.

She sighed and stood up. "The Sengoku Jidai was an era dating back 500 years from today."

Her teacher chuckled. "Nice try, but that's what Hojo said. Why don't you answer the question I asked more recently?"

Kagome blushed slightly. "I…I wasn't paying attention to it…" The class laughed at this remark.

"That's what I thought…now please take your seat and pay attention."

"Yes sir." Kagome said slumping into her chair as the lesson continued. Her teacher's voice began to fade from her mind as Inuyasha entered it. 'I so wish he'd come to get me…right now…' She turned to the window. 'He never comes when I need him, though…' She sighed and leaned her head against the desk. 'Maybe…maybe he doesn't need me around anymore. I mean, he's bound to end up with Kikyo anyway…maybe he just asked her to help him find the jewel shards. Maybe…I'm the one who needs him…maybe he doesn't love me back…maybe it's all just unrequited love…'

O:o:O:o:O

Inuyasha growled impatiently. "Damnit! What's taking her!"

"Why do you always act like this when Kagome is away, Inuyasha?" The fox demon asked from his perch in the tree as he watched Inuyasha walk impatiently around the well.

"Because she needs to come back!"

Shippo yawned. "Then go get her."

Inuyasha scoffed. "Fine I will!" He said jumping into the well as a pink light enveloped him.

Shippo rolled his eyes. 'Thank God he's gone…'

Inuyasha sprang out of the well into Kagome's time. "Is she at school again?" He asked himself noticing no one in her room. "Ugh. Damnit!"

O:o:O:o:O

Kagome lifted her head up and noticed some one standing I front of her. "Eh…" She waited for her vision to come back and noticed who it was. "Inu…Inuyasha?" She asked confused.

"Yeah, stupid! Who'd you think it was?" He barked.

She shrugged. "I don't know…but you were the last person I was expecting.." She said. "How'd you get in here?"

Inuyasha pointed to the window.

"Oh. Well, where is everyone?"

"They left, you slept through school." Inuyasha answered.

Kagome still felt confused. "Why didn't anyone wake me?"

"I don't know…" Inuyasha said reaching out a hand to help her out of her desk. Kagome took it and let Inuyasha pull her up, but he pulled a bit too hard and Kagome went flying and fell on him, knocking the both of them to the ground.

They both giggled not noticing the odd position they were in. Inuyasha was the first to open his eyes and blush. Kagome smiled then looked back at him. She couldn't help but get lost in his deep amber eyes. "Kagome…" He breathed out softly.

'Oh God, this is the moment I've been waiting for…he's going to kiss me…it'll be our first real kiss….oh what should I do?' Kagome started to panic and blushed when Inuyasha pulled her up closer to his face.

"Inu…" He placed a hand behind her head and pulled her in closer to him until their lips were touching. All the thoughts, worries, everything…it all vanished from Kagome's mind as he kissed her. She closed her eyes and kissed him back. She felt him roll over so he was on top of her. Inuyasha broke the kiss only so he could remove his haori but then quickly found his way back to he lips. Kagome was in heaven. Inuyasha pulled away one last time.

"Kagome…would you be my mate?"

She smiled 'His mate?' a deep blush crept into her cheeks.

"Kagome?" He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I love you more than anyone…please…"

Kagome had tears in her eyes. "Yes…of course I will." She sat up and wrapped her arms around him.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha started.

"What?" She asked.

"Kagome…" The voice turned into a whisper.

"Yes?" She asked again as the voice completely changed.

"HIGURASHI!"

Kagome jumped. "What!" She asked noticing everyone in the class laughing at her.

"Wha…what happened?" She asked confused.

Ayumi giggled. "You fell asleep and started moaning…"

Kagome's eyes grew wide. "I did…?"

She turned all red. 'Oh damn…where's Inuyasha? I'd like to just disappear right about now…'

O:o:O:o:O

"So, Kagome…what were you dreaming about?" Eri asked her friend referring to the episode that happened earlier in class.

"Huh?"

"Oh come off it, we all have wet dreams silly, now just tell us who it was about and we'll get off your back." Ayumi said.

"Well, it was…"

Yuka gasped. "Don't tell me it was that creep…"

"Huh?"

"Inuyasha…" Ayumi said.

"Oh…" Kagome laughed nervously. "No it was about someone…else…"

"Who?" All three of them asked at once.

Kagome looked around for a way out of this one. "Hojo." She said.

They all gasped. "Oh how cute!"

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Now…I have to go so I'll see you guys later." Kagome waved and walked off not feeling safe until she was in her house.

"Oh man…now I'm like some kind of pervert…" She walked up to her room and set her backpack down beside her bed. "I'm even having gross dreams about him…" She said plopping down on her bed.

"ACH!" She heard and stood up from the bed. "Inuyasha?" She asked lifting the covers up.

"Yeah!" He sat up angrily. "Can't you pay attention to who might be on your bed before you sit on them!" He growled.

"Well how was I supposed to know you were laying in my bed!" She asked aggravated.

"Maybe you could have CHECKED!"

"It's not like it hurt THAT BAD you idiot!"

"YEAH IT DID!"

"ARE YOU CALLING ME FAT!"

"MAYBE!"

"You JERK!" Kagome screamed leaving the room and slamming the door shut.

Inuyasha pressed his ears against the top of his head. He felt a little guilty but quickly scoffed the thought away. "Feh…don't know what's eating her!"

O:o:O:o:O

Inuyasha still sat on Kagome's bed and noticed it was already dark outside. "Is she still mad?" He asked walking out the room. "Kagome…I'm sorry, Kagome…" He walked down the halls but still couldn't find her. "Kagome…" He said softly when he noticed her sitting beside Goshinboku. He carefully approached her. She was reading a magazine.

'Maybe she cheered up a bit?' He thought as he continued to walk over to her. She looked up from the magazine and Inuyasha noticed a tear rolling down her cheek. 'Maybe…not…'

She opened her mouth but closed it as Inuyasha took a seat right next to her.

"Hey…I didn't mean it, you know…I mean, you aren't fat…" He said trying to sound sympathetic.

'Who said I was fat? Oh right…I forgot about that!' She thought. She sniffled and showed him the magazine. "That's not what I was crying about…"

"Then what?"

She pointed to an article all about a girl who had cancer and died right after falling in love. "That…" Inuyasha read a few lines of it but got bored with it and handed it back to Kagome.

"Isn't it sad?"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and pulled her in closer to him. "Sure, whatever…"

She sighed and leaned her head against his shoulder.
