Eyes On Me
Chapter 5: Perfect Nightmares.
When the bell for the next class rand, she was only too happy to clear the room. Her bag slung over her shoulder, spreading the redness more around her shoulder. She winced when someone bumped into her, causing her to loose her footing for a few seconds. You'd think she'd be a little less clumsy when wearing sneakers. She stumbled her way to next class. Geography.
The day flew by more or less at a regular pace. Study, study, study, work, work, work, next class. Regular day at Shikon High. When the last bell for the day echoed through the school, she hurriedly packed her stuff and ran for the first floor. She was supposed to meet Kouga there, the one of few people in her life who actually gave a damn. He has been her friend for a long while, and her boyfriend since a few months ago. It seemed to be working out more then she could say for her past relationships.
She headed down the hall to his locker, the usual meeting place. By the time she was there, most of the students have already cleared out of the school and headed home with friends. She walked silently down the hall, for once her shoes not making the annoying horse noise that follows you around in heels. The school sounded freakishly silent. But then she heard it. Kouga's voice he was talking to someone. Of course he didn't ditch her! He wouldn't do that! He got held up after class to talk to someone. Her smile on full blast she ran towards the voice that seemed to be moving away from her. She turned the corner and stopped dead in her tracks. He was talking to a girl. She looked slightly familiar. Bright red hair tied in two high ponytails, and her emerald green eyes focused only on the boy in front of her. They were far enough for her so she couldn't hear the dialogue. She couldn't make out what they were saying, but he seemed to be shaking the girl, trying to explain something. She was shaking her head, disagreeing. Suddenly something clicked in her head. Now she remembered the girl. She's Kouga's ex-girlfriend! She saw her in pictures in his room. They broke up because she had to move! …And now she's back. As suddenly as the realization came it left with the same breath. So what if she's back, Kouga wouldn't leave her for someone who left him without a second glance back. He was better then that, wasn't he? Wasn't he?
She looked back at the two people in front of her. Ayame. He name was Ayame. Sometimes, he murmured that name in his sleep, though she only realized it now. She seemed to be crying, her shoulders shook, her head bowed. He threw his hands in the air, clearly not knowing what else to do. Then surprising both girls, he pressed his ;lips to Ayame's.
That moment, that one second, Kagome felt her heart break. And every second longer that the two didn't separate, another piece of her heart shattered even more. Her eyes leaked tears though she didn't notice until her vision was blurred completely, the figures in front of her nothing but blobs of colour. Through her tears she smiled to her self. She learned something.
So this is what it's like to want to die?
She wiped the tears from her eyes, and turned around as noiselessly as she came, walked away. Her shoulders shook with silent sobs, but she refused to make a noise. Despite all of it, she hoped they were happy together, even if she wouldn't be. She didn't realized she cared so much about loosing Kouga to another girl, after all he was the one always saying 'I love you' to her, not the other way around. New lessons kept popping up all over the place. She now knew the meaning of "You never know what you have, until it's gone." Oh but that wasn't fair! She knew what she had! Oh how she knew! But the saying seemed to mock her, look you still lost. She stumbled her way out of the school, and shrunk back as soon as the bright sun seemed to hit her full force, blinding her sore eyes. She sniffed a few times, trying to stop the river of tears still spilling down her face, and yet they still refused to stop. She didn't know how, but she ended up on the buss going home, her head leaning against the cool glass, as tears continued to soak her shirt.
Everything around seemed to mock her saddened state by the exact opposite. Children jumped around happily, and couples walked by hand in hand. Yet no one noticed the girl sitting in the back of the buss, drowning in her own tears.
Her stop came much too soon, and she was once again in the heat of the sun, her bag seemingly intent on breaking her back in half. Her tears slowed, to the point where she could see where she was going. Somewhat anyway. She walked slowly head lowered to hide the tear streaks on her face. She could see the ground before her, but nothing else.
She went over what happened in the hall again, was it possible that she misunderstood something? May be. But then what-
Her head shot up and her train of thought crashed as someone flew into her, knocking them both to the ground. She was sprawled on the ground under someone, who seemed to be … growling? Well that was just plain strange, she was sure it wasn't a dog. The person lifted their head and Glassy blue eyes wet burning gold. The growl stopped in his throat. The two stared at each other as their thoughts carried through their heads, until a voice called "Yo! Yash! You alright? Your director would murder me if I broke your back or something." The boy seemed to come back to reality and jumped up in a fluid motion. He looked down at the girl he knocked over, who was already getting up and dragging the heavy looking bag back over her shoulders. He mumbled an apology and looked at the girl. For the first tie he noticed the tear tracks on her cheeks. Panic ripped through him. He made her cry? Did she get hurt? He walked closer to her, but couldn't smell any blood. Gathering up whatever was left of his courage, he asked. "Hey, are you alright?" She seemed startled by the question but nodded all the same.
She was so intent on getting away from there that she didn't even notice the other person was Miroku until he grabbed her arm. "Kagome?" Her head whipped up and her eyes caught his violet orbs. She nodded. Oh she was in for it now. "Kagome, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Did you get hurt?" All she could do was shake her head no. Sure she got hurt, but that was a different kind of hurt all together. Nothing compared to what he was thinking of.
Miroku looked confused, the usually cheerful girl seemed so sad, and it was his head if Sango found out. "Kagome, what's wrong?" She seemed to hesitate for a few moments before all rational thought left her and she threw herself at Miroku, rambling off the whole story. About how Kouga broke up with Ayame and then she moved and now she's back and she found them kissing in the school hall, by that time tears seemed unstoppable as they slid down her face and into Miroku's shirt. He nodded his head and kept his arms around the shaking girl while she blubbered out the whole story. Inuyasha stood to the side, his presence momentarily forgotten as he listened to the heart broken girl. He looked at her. She seemed pretty short may be around 5'4? Long black hair rolled in waves down her small back, and tears streamed out of deep blue eyes. But there was something about her that he just hasn't seen before. This strange sense of innocence that was rarely possessed. This feeling of wanting to protect, to guard it. He looked at Miroku who moved his head one way and started steering Kagome back towards the place where they would be shooting the new video. It was Going to be one hell-of-a-day.
