Chapter 3
Kagome shut her bedroom door and threw her bag on her bed. She removed her sticky ruined uniform and went into her bathroom and tooka a shower. When she came out she was wearing a simple blue sundress. She went over and sat in her window seat. She looked out the window and a moment before she fell asleep her mother called her downstairs, "Kagooooomeeeee! You have a visitor!" Kagome walked downstairs expecting to see Sango but instead she saw, "Inuyasha!" Kagome grabbed his arm and yanked him upstiars. She slammed her bedroom door shut and locked it so her brother couldn't come in. "What are you doing here!" She hollered sitting on her bed. He sat in her desk chair and stared out the window,"I wanted to say...say...I'm sorry for kissing you! I love you too oaky!" He buried his face in his arms amd waited for a reply. But no sound came from her mouth. She got up and moved next to him, she sat in her swindow seat. Inuyasha sniffed the air and smelled her tears. he got up and Kagome stared at her hands, he'd left.
Inuyasha walked down the street, hands in his pockets. "Why did I go see her? Why'd i say that? Why didn't I comfort her? I made her cry too!" he attmepted to kick himself but only succeeded in tripping. he stopped at Miroku's house for advice. Miroku came outside and sat with his friend. "Well why do't you just ask her out? I'm askin' Sango tomorrow." Miroku talked like Inuyasha had asked what movie he wanted to see. "Well its easy for you! sango knows you like her! You kissed her in public for God's sake!" Miroku laughed, "She seemed to like that didn't she? Wanna know a secret? While she acted all surprised she was really kissing back! Kagome will too! you just gotta take charge! Show her who the boss is!" Inuyasha nodded. The boys went into detailed planning and so it was decided.
Kagome hung her coat in her locker and shut the door to reveal, "Inuyasha! Uhhm...g'mornin'!" She smiles weakly and turned to walk away but he grabbed her wrist, brought her back in front of him and kissed her deeply, clutching her butt. He was pressing firmly on her lips but she did not kiss back like Miroku promised she would instead she pushed him away, slapped him hard across the face, and stormed off. Sha wasn't shocked, she was mad and he didn't dare follow her in that mood but he did it anyways, she was sitting on the curb again reading a book. "what?" Kageom said coldy, not looking away from her book. Inu sat next to her and started to put his arm around her but she gave him a glare so loathesome and dangerous he scooted away out of fear. "Miroku said it would work so I wanted to try it..." Kagome snapped her book shut and loked at him. "You took advice from Miroku? Why didn't you just fess up? I'd actually still like you now! So jsut in case you didn't catch on already, I no longer have a crush on you and I never want to talk to you again!" Kagome stood up and wlaked away carrying her book. Miroku took kagome's spot next to Inuyasha, "It worked! Me and Sango are an item! Woohoo! Now me and you are both hooked up!" Inuyasha punched Miroku in the face. "no you're hooked up! your dumb tactic made Kageom actually hate me!" Inuyasha went home fuming mad and really hurt.
For weeks and weeks he watched kagome from afar, she was always walking and giggling with her friends. He stood directly in front of her and she jsut brushed past him and said, "S'cuse me." Inuyasha was crushed. During lunch 2 months later after Kagome had abandoned him inuyasha was eating alone in the tree next to Kagome's curb. Miroku and Sango were absent, Miro was sick and Sango was taking care of him. kagome sat at an empty isolated picnic table under a tree and read her book. Inuyasha looked down to see who it was and almost fell off his branch, "Its Kagome..." he whispered to himself. Kagome looked up into the tree and saw Inuyasha. She shut her book and went to leave but Inuyasha jumped out of the tree and landed in front of her. "Kagome I'm really sorry! Please forgive me! I still...l-love...you..." he stared at her, waiting for her response, his face going redder every second. Kagome smiled and nodded, "I know okay? Its been kinda hard to ignore you staring at me every day." kageom threw her arms around Inuyasha's neck and hugged him, "I stil llove you too okay? i never want us to fight again and I also want you to never take Miroku's advice for something like this. Promise?" Inuyasha hugged her back and nodded, "Yeah I promise Kagome." Kaomge looked at him, his face inches from hers, he leaned in. Inuyasha did everything in his power to keep from smiling,'I can feel the heat from her face! She's scared!' Kaomge's eyes strted watering, 'I'm not ready for this!' she thought to herself. Inuyasha somehow got the message, he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek just as a tear fell from her eye, it hit inuyasha on the nose and he looked at her at half-arms length, his hands on her shoulders. "Kagome? Why are you crying? I'm sorry, please...don't cry."Inuyasha hugged her and held her tight. She sobbed into his shoulder for ten minutes then she sat on the bench next to him. "I-I was s-scared...i've never kissed anyone before..." Inuasyah laughed, "So what? Oh...was I too fast? i'm sorry Kagome I've had uhhh...practice." Kagoem grunted at this but her fit quickly turned into giggling as inuyasha picked her up, bridal style and tickled her. CLASH! A clap of thunder signaled rain and not five seconds later a downpour started. they stared at the sky for a bit then kaomge jumped out of Inuyasha's arms and twirled around in the rain, arms outstretched, face turned skyward, mouth open, catching raindrops. Inuyasha laughed before running up and jumping into a big puddle splashing her. She screamed and loked at her newly ruined uniform before takcling Inu into the nearest mud puddle. they fought for hours and funally stopped when Inuyasha whimpered fro, too much water in his ears. Kagome and Inuayasha ran all the way to kagome's shrine to grab umbrellas then they trudged off through the wet and muddy to inuyasha's house.
