Chapter 2: Dead Devil: Kikyo

Inuyasha watched the two girls chat happily. Kikyo… he thought. She looks so much like her. Kikyo died a tragic death (Die Kikyo!) But she is nothing like her. Kikyo was always cruel and she was always laughing like a maniac. But Kagome is always smiling, her smile is like the sun shining down on me. And she looks way hot when she blushes. Inuyasha thought while he watched Kagome. Wait! Hold up a sec… I just met this girl and… He pushed away the thought. There was no way he could have feelings for a girl who looked like Kikyo. Just the thought of Kikyo made him want to hurl. That dreadful women had him wrapped around her finger.

"Hmm..." came a voice next to him.

Surprised, he jumped at the voice. "Damn! Miroku you scared the crap out of me!" Inuyasha said accusingly.

"Why would I scare you? Unless you thought I saw you staring at Kagome." Said Miroku with a grin on his face.

"Feh, I only was looking at her, because she looks like Kikyo, that deviled women." Inuyasha said with disgust in his voice.

Miroku laughed. "Yea right! You were looking at her with adoring eyes!" "Shut up!" Inuyasha shouted.

"I wonder what the boys are arguing about." Kagome commented while she watched Inuyasha covering Miroku's mouth and shouting at him.

"Ah, ignore them. They are always like that." Sango said as she looked at them lazily.

"Are you sure it's ok?" Kagome asked in a worried tone. "I mean they are making such a racket. Don't the other students care?"

"Humph. Well everyone on this bus is gonna have to get used to it." Sango said.

"They are gonna do that every day?" Kagome asked.

"Well it depends what Miroku says, and how Inuyasha takes it." Sango answered.

"I hope they-" Kagome stopped in midsentance as the bus pulled up at her stop. "I gotta go! It's my stop. See you tomorrow." She said as she stood up. "Bye Inuyasha! Bye Miroku!" she said to the still fighting boys as she got off the bus.

"She said your name first!" shouted Miroku. "I said shut up!" said Inuyasha as he put his hand over Miroku's mouth again.

"I'm home!" shouted Kagome as she walked into her house. She smelled the sweet and hot fragrance of her mom's homemade cookies floating under her nose. "Mama (that's how she says it in the anime)! You made cookies!" exclaimed Kagome as she took another whiff of the cookies.

"I'm in the kitchen sweetheart!" called Kagome's mom.

"Ok. Let me just change." Kagome said as she went up to her room.

"So how was school Kagome?" Kagome's mom asked. "Made any new friends?"

"School was great!" Kagome said as she drank some milk to wash down the cookies she ate. "I made three new friends!"

"Oh really, that's great." Said her mom with relief in her voice.

"Uh huh, their names are Sango, Inuyasha and Miroku. I was wondering if I could have them over." Kagome said excited.

"Well sure thing! They can come on Saturday." Said her mom, happy that her daughter made friends so fast.

"Great!" said Kagome. "Where is Souta? I haven't seen him sense I came back."

"Your grandpa took him somewhere. Saying something about training." Her mom replied.

"Oh, well I better go save him." Said Kagome.

"Not until you finish your homework. And why are u limping?" her mom asked.

"I hurt my ankle, but it's ok now. It doesn't really hurt that much if I don't put much weight on it." Kagome replied, looking at her ankle.

"How did you hurt it? Are you sure you're fine? Do you need to go to the doctor?" Kagome's mom pestered. "I'm ok!" she said, quickly going up to her room. "Now I can have some peace and quiet." She said as she plopped down on her bed.

"Ohiyo!" Kagome said as she plopped down next to Sango.

"Hi." She replied.

"I asked my mom if you guys could come over, she said on Saturday it'll be ok."

"Great." Sango said.

"We'll be there." Miroku said from behind Sango.

Kagome turned back and asked Miroku. "You know I've been wondering. What were you guys arguing about yesterday?"

"We-"

"Nothing!" Inuyasha said, cutting Miroku off by covering his mouth. A little surprised by Inuyasha, Kagome backed up a little.

"Here we are again." Said Sango, rolling her eyes.

"I'm sorry did I start this?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha heard this and immediately said.

"We're not fighting, we are umm… Just talking very loud…" Inuyasha said stumbling over his words. What the hell am I doing? Why am I protecting her? Why am I being nice to her at all? Once again Inuyasha tried to push the thought away, What Inuyasha said seemed to make Kagome feel better. "Well can you guys not talk so loud?" Sango said a little annoyed. Inuyasha threw her a dirty look, while Miroku gave her an adoring look.

"Right as always Sango!" she rolled her eyes as she turned back to Kagome. "Hey Inuyasha, why are you so nice to Kagome? Do you have a crush on her or something?" Miroku said. With that comment Inuyasha punched him in the face.

"Hey no violence!" shouted the bus driver, as the students on the bus started chanting: Fight! Fight! Kagome was surprised by Inuyasha's reaction, in fact she was hurt. What's his problem? Miroku only said he has a crush on me, why did he punch him. Does he hate me that much? Kagome shook her thoughts away. She looked up and saw Sango rubbing Miroku's cheek while scolding Inuyasha. He was just 'Fehing'. Once the bus stopped Kagome jumped off the bus and ran to her first class.

Sango wasn't able to talk to Kagome until lunch time. She found her sitting under a tree eating her lunch in silence. "What's up?" Sango asked as she sat down next to Kagome.

"Nothing." She replied, trying to hide the hurt in her voice.

"Hey Kagome, I think you should know something." Sango said softly.

"Uh huh."

"Inuyasha, he might act weird around you." She continued. "Because you look a lot like Kikyo… Kikyo was Inuyasha's first love, and also the person that he hates the most. She had him in the palm of her hand. When he realized she was just toying with him, he was very angered. His heart shattered. Some how he got over her. His love turned into hate. His hate for her was as fierce as his love had once been. Fortunately she died, it was not long after Inuyasha's hate started for her."

It took Kagome a while for her to take everything in. "Is that why Inuyasha hates me?" she finally spoke up.

"I know he doesn't hate you, but if he has a crush on you…I don't know." Sango replied, happy that Kagome finally talked.

"You mean you actually think he likes me!" she exclaimed with disbelief. "Well the way he's been acting toward you, I think he likes you." Sango replied.

"No way!" said Kagome blushing. "I think we should get going. Or we'll be late for class." She said standing up. I'll let you go this time. Sango thought as she stood up following Kagome.

Mean while… "I will never say sorry to you Miroku, you deserved that punch fair and square." Inuyasha said.

"You should at least say sorry to Kagome. Don't you care about her feelings?" he continued.

"What does me punching you have to do with her?" Inuyasha said confused. Miroku sighed and answered.

"You punched me because I said you have a crush on her. What does she think of your reaction? She probably thinks you hate her or something." "What!" Inuyasha practically screamed. He jumped up from the lunch table and ran out of the cafeteria screaming Kagome's name.
