CHAPTER 2

BOYFRIEND?

A few days have gone by since I walked angrily out of the feudal area. I'm not as angry at Inuyasha anymore but I am glad to be home. I have enjoyed every minute of my time here so far. I was finally able to sleep in my own bed, wear my favourite pajamas, relax, eat my favourite foods, actually do some studying and spend time with my family. I got to hang out with Eri, Yuka and Ayumi too. They were happy to see me looking "normal" if that makes any sense. I guess it's because they always think I'm sick all the time.

"We're glad to see that you're back to normal," Eri said happily as we got our drinks placed in front of us.

"And that it's actually lasting for more than just one day!" Ayumi added sipping her drink little by little. Yuka just beamed and nodded her head in agreement. She was too busy taking a big bite out of her burger.

" I guess Grandpa's herbal medicines finally paid off he he" I said smiling.

"So ..." Ayumi said with a big grin on her face. Great. Here it comes. Here is the one thing that I hate when it comes to hanging out with the girls. It's always the same thing everytime they see me.

"You know, Hojo has tickets to that carnival next week," Ayumi said in a hinting tone.

"And I think he's looking for someone to go with ..." Eri said quickly. I lowered my head and kept drinking my drink, pretending I had no clue as to what they were trying to imply at. Silence arrived and stayed for a couple of minutes as I started at my napkin. I could feel their eyes burning a hole right through my head as they waited to see what my reaction would be.

"KAGOME!" Eri shouted.

"Hmm? What?" I said pretending as if I was just entering the conversation. Sip. Sip.

"Don't play stupid Kagome. We all know that Hojo has this huge huge huge crush on you. Why won't you give him a chance? He's been trying to ask you out for months now!" Ayumi said sounding like this was going to help me a decision.

"I've never noticed that," I said quietly.

"Well maybe if you weren't so sick all the time! You could actually be at school and spend more time with Hojo!" Eri added. I don't know why I never had the heart to tell them that I was never interested in Hojo. He's just sooo ... predictable. I just don't know why they keep forcing him onto me. I've never really done anything to show that I was interested in him yet here they are thinking that Hojo has this big chance. I don't understand my friends sometimes.

"Is it because of that boyfriend of yours?" Yuka asked. What? Now I'm interested.

"Boyfriend?" I asked. I'm actually being genuine this time. I'm not sure where they are getting with this. Who are they referring to? Inuyasha?

"That controlling, cocky, selfish guy that you talked about before," Eri explained, "What's his name again?" Inuyasha. My heard began to beat faster at the drop of his name in my mind. Boyfriend? I would hardly call him a boyfriend. No. He's not my boyfriend.

"I don't know why you would stay with him. From what I remember of what you said before, he sounds horrible," Yuka said continuing her burger.

"Yeah! So why would you stay with him?" Ayumi asked. If you guys only knew. I would have a hundred reasons why.
