Chapter Seven
"Kagome-chan..."
Kagome's heart sank when she heard the voice. It wasn't Inuyasha who came... Kagome thought silently as she slowly turned around. Sango, with her face flushed helped Kagome up to her feet.
Kagome whispered, "..thanks." Sango tried to explain to her, but Kagome picked up her yellow bag and said, "Its okay... I.. better get going..." With that, she took flight home. Kagome did not want to listen to anything. She wished for some quiet time alone. Seeing Inuyasha and Sango together was too difficult for her to accept...
The next morning, Kagome was late for school. When Kagome entered the class, Sango caught Kagome's eyes and surprisingly, Kagome gave her sweet smile. Kagome walked towards her seat and placed her bag down, without making a single eye-contact with Inuyasha, like she would normally do in the morning. There was a packet of organic drink and a movie ticket on her desk. Without speaking, she reached out for them and stuffed it in her bag. Inuyasha looked at her and said, "You.. you're going for the movie?" Kagome stared at him and managed a small smile, "Maybe." She looked away and Inuyasha noticed that there was something not quite right with her expressions and behaviour today. Perhaps it was because of yesterday... but why would she be so angry over this when she does not even like me? Inuyasha thought. Well, maybe she's just weird, but how dare she keep the tickets that jerk gave her... Inuyasha clenched his fists but paused, Why am I getting so jealous over this? Do I even like her? What the hell am I thinking? He brushed off the thoughts of Kagome and focused on the on-going lesson.
After lunch, Kagome came back alone, looking dazed and tired. She sat down on her desk and lay her head down. Throughout the afternoon lessons, Kagome was sleeping her way through and was constantly caught by the teachers for sleeping in class. Soon, the school ended and Kagome was still dozing off. Inuyasha decided to leave her alone, but he noticed the pained expression on her face. Hmm.. looks like she's not having a pleasant dream.. Inuyasha thought. He moved a little bit closer to her, and he managed to catch her mumbling, "No... no.. Inuyasha... " He immediately moved away, and knocked his chair over.
The sound startled Kagome, as she woke up and saw Inuyasha looking surprised.
"Inuyasha... what are you doing here?"
Inuyasha looked away, "Nothing.. I ... What were you dreaming about again..."
"Nothing.." Kagome quickly packed her books into her bag and was about to walk out.
"Is it about Inuyasha?"
"No. I didn't dream of anything..."
"... but you were mumbling my... i mean, his name..."
"Why do you care so much?"
"I..."
Inuyasha tried to argue his way through, but Kagome looked as though she was on the verge of breaking down.
"Why not, you just go and find ... Sango."
Inuyasha flinched at the way she said that sentence. "But..."
"Weren't you HUGGING her yesterday?"
Inuyasha flared up, "Yes, so what? Its not as though you and I like each other, and is it wrong for me to hug Sango? What right do you have to prevent me, huh?"
Kagome rushed to him and tried to hit him, in frustration and anger. Instantly, Inuyasha did not think twice and pushed her away and hard on the ground. Kagome hit the hard concrete floor with a loud thud. She lay there for a moment, shocked by Inuyasha's actions. Slowly, Kagome stood up, in pain and walked out of the class. She opened the door, and saw Sango standing in front of her. Kagome bent down her head, and walked past her, not wanting to hear a word of what she had to say.
Inuyasha approached the wall, and banged the wall hard using his fist. Sango went in and Inuyasha turned. He looked down and said, "So, I guess you heard everything."
Sango slowly walked to him, "Well, yeah. But I have to say that you've been treating Kagome really badly."
"What do you mean?"
"You may not realise it, but all these while, Kagome has been living a very difficult life."
"Don't tell me you're siding her..."
"I'm not trying to do anything, but let you understand what is actually going on."
"But.. Sango.. I..."
"Inuyasha, I know what you're trying to say. I have been always protecting you like how I did in the past. We were buddies, Inuyasha." Sango paused, not sure if she should continue with what she wanted to say, "Kagome and Inuyasha, really love each other. He died for her."
"What..? I didn't know..." Inuyasha leaned against the wall, "He actually died for her?"
Sango nodded, "So you see, Kagome is really trying her very best to try to forget about him. And.. to treat you as another individual. But, I have to say, you really do look like him."
Inuyasha bowed his head, his heart heavy. He didn't know all these, and he just misunderstood Kagome. The unbearable pain in her heart... Inuyasha could not believe that he just pushed her away. He walked to his desk and said, "I.. I'm going to find Kagome and... "
"..Apologise?" Sanngo completed his sentence.
Inuyasha nodded and with a swift nod, he told Sango, "Thank you..."

Kagome looked at her right arm. It was badly bruised near the wrist. She went out of the house to help with the decorations. In her mind, were thoughts of her dream earlier on. The image of Inuyasha jumping in front of her to block the blow was constantly repeating, and her dreams were always about it. She took out the streamers and started to twirl it around her arm.
Meanwhile, Inuyasha ran down the street that leads to Kagome's house. He was worried about Kagome, as he knew he had pushed her too hard on the ground and that his words may be too harsh for her to take.
He saw Kagome outside the house, twiddling with something. Suddenly, he was afraid of Kagome's reaction. Would she ignore me? Truthfully, he was mentaally prepared, but all he wanted to find out know, was whether she is fine and okay.
He rushed down, and Kagome looked in the direction of the road. She saw Inuyasha running and thought, "What is he doing here?"
She stood up and saw a black sports car speeding in his direction at a very fast speed. Inuyasha did not seem to notice, but was looking at Kagome. The black car did not appear to slow down and anytime soon, it may crash into Inuyasha.
Kagome screamed, "INUYASHA!" and quickly ran to Inuyasha, her heart pumping as she desperately wanted to push Inuyasha away before the car could crash into him. She ran down the stairs as fast as she could and pushed Inuyasha to the other side of the road. The black car did not stop in time, as Kagome stared with her eyes wide open as the car's flashlights seemed to grow brighter and brighter.
"KAGOMMMMMMMEEE..."
Then, it was total silence.
