Tangled

She had watched him walk by so many times, and yet she didn't approach him once. He had spoken to her briefly, yet she didn't say a word. Her eyes followed him, but her legs remained stationary. The whole day had passed, and she had been so tempted to let out her heart's desire, of what she had been thinking. Her friend's might've noticed her sudden silence, but they did not question it.
So she sat at home, nearly 10:30, plainly staring at her phone, her fingers itching to dial the number that she had stored away in her brain. Her house was eerily silent, and she somehow felt like something was going to happen. Her mother was out of town to visit some relatives, and her brother was at a friend's house overnight. She was left with her grandpa, but he slept in the basement where he had created some kind of shrine. She could jump and blast her music, and she doubt he would hear her.
Just do it. She told herself inside her head. She picked up the phone and dialed the number. She placed the contraption to her ear, but as soon as she heard the first ring her heart clenched and she hung up.
She was scared.
But what was she scared of? Scared of the big bad Inuyasha? She definitely wasn't, but maybe it was what she set out to find. After all, she did steal his song. But it wasn't like she wasn't going to return it. That oaf wasn't much of a scary person, and she could just say she wanted to test it out. He might yell at her, but she'd just yell back. She picked up the phone and dialed once again, holding her breath as the phone rang. She waited, tapping her foot on the floor nervously, awaiting his answer.
"Hello?" She turned the phone off and threw it on her bed. She let out a yelp of fear and realized that she couldn't do it. She buried her head into her hands and took in some shaky breaths. She hadn't realized it, but she was shaking. She calmed herself down and closed her eyes. Her body relaxed and the tightening on her heart ceased. She removed her hands from her eyes and leant back onto her mattress.
But then the phone rang.
She stared at her ceiling with wide eyes. It's probably just mom checking up on you. Calm down. She reached back and picked up the phone hesitating to turn it on.
"H-hello?" She said biting her lip. There was a pause on the other line before the voice came through.
"What the hell are you doing pranking me, woman?" Came the angry voice of none other than Inuyasha. She shot up and turned the phone off just as quickly as she had sat. That was too close. As soon as she put down the phone, it rang again. But only this time, she made no move to answer it. It continued to ring until finally it reached her answering machine. She listened to her own voice before the beep.
"I can fucking see you Kagome. Answer your god damn phone or I'll come over there." He growled on the machine.
Kagome sighed heavily before picking up her phone and answering it full of hesitation.
"What?"
"What a way to answer your phone." He scoffed into his receiver.
"You're a peeping tom," she said as she strolled over to her window and searched the nearby houses for his room. And when she did, she saw the same smirking ass that she saw everyday.
"Then what does that make you?"
"What do you want?"
"Why the hell were you calling me?"
"I wasn't calling you!" She bit her lip, as she did when she was nervous.
"You're lying."
"No I'm not!"
"You bite your lip when you're lying: you're lying."
"…"
"And besides, I have caller ID." He said, trying to cover up the fact that he knew when she lied.
"Crap." She swore under her breath.
"Why did you call me?" He asked again, only this time his voice wasn't filled with the irritation that his voice held before.
"I…I…"
"Spit it out!"
"I stole your song!" She said quickly before ending the call and quickly taking out the batteries. Her breaths were almost pants as she stared at the dismantled phone.
It probably sounded all wrong when she yelled at him, but it was all she could say. There was no easy way to break anything to him. She got up and left her room; her mouth suddenly feeling dry. She made her way into the kitchen and blindly reached for the light switch. She flipped it on and got herself a glass of milk. She had barely taken a sip as she turned around and saw something that made her let out the loudest scream imaginable.
And what she saw, was a face.
That was the shittiest place I could've left off at.
I'm really sorry.
Quick update though!
(sort of redid it, hope you like it better!)
