Chapter 2: A Branch from the Heavens

"Umm, Kagome? Would you like to go to the movies on Saturday with me?"

Sigh...Sorry, carrot boy, but I'm taken.Kagome then looked around, nervously, checking for Inuyasha. When the coast was clear, she responded."Hojo, I told you,I am already going out with Inuyasha!" Hojo looked down. "O yeah, guess I forgot that..."

Kagome sighed. She honestly felt sorry for Hojo. Not as sorry as she would feel if Inuyasha came at the time that he asked her out, but she was still saddened by the fact that such a sweet guy liked her of all of the other girls he could like. Available girls. Girls that swooned when they saw him. She liked Hojo, but on a strict friend basis. Sometimes she wondered why she liked such a possessive, high tempered guy over a sweet guy like Hojo.

Him being possesive just means he must really like me. And I at least know that he won't cheat on me. But still...Sometimes, Kagome loved Inuyasha. Other times, she worshipped him. And all the time, he worshipped her. It all worked out as a perfect boy-girl relationship, except for the occasional stares at the white hair and dog ears. One unfortunate soul had the guts to ask, "is that you Halloween wig?". 5 minutes later, the teenager had a face that was ready for Halloween. Rule number one: never cross Inuyasha. Or Kagome, for that matter.Some people just didn't understand that if you messed with Kagome Higurashi, Inuyasha Hanyou would mess with you. Kagome honestly felt sorry for those people, but she still loved Inuyasha for sticking up for her.

"So, Kagome...Are you sure you don't want to come? Yuka has been telling me that you liked me, so I just thought that-"YUKA HAS BEEN TELLING YOU WHAT!" Hojo winced at the noise. Kagome apologized, but the anger remained. "She just thought that because of how violent Inuyasha is, that's all,"explained Hojo. Great. Now my best friend is trying to make me break up with Inuyasha and go for Hojo, thought Kagome. Sometimes, Kagome wondered if Yukaliked Hojo...Thats it!

"Hey, Hojo? How about you ask Yuka to go with you? I'm sure she would love to!"exclaimed Kagome. Hojo thought about that idea for a moment. "You know what, Kagome? I'll do it!" YAY! "But, just one thing..." Uh oh... "Can we get to studying now, Kagome?" SWEAT DROP. "Ok!"

Inuyasha watched on from above, in the tree in front of Kagome's house, Goshinboku. "So... he asked her out huh? Well, that fucking bastard is going to pay... "What did you say, Kagome?" asked Hojo. "I didn't say anything." Hojo shook his head. "Never mind, I just thought I heard someone." Kagome sighed. I hate math. It's a good thing Hojo is her to help me...

Inuyasha slapped his hand to his mouth.Hmmm, how will I do this? He looked down at the pair again, then looked at his claws. O yeah, these do come in handy. Now, just to wait for the right moment..."Hey Hojo, I'm going to go get a drink. Would you like some water," asked Kagome. "No thank you.," responded Hojo.

Kagome started toward the house. Yes,thought Inuyasha. In one quick swipe, he cut off a tree branch directly above Hojo'shead...Just as Hojo walked towards the house. "Actually, Kagome, I am sort of thirsty,"he called. FUCK! The tree branch feel with a loud crash, right where Hojo had been sitting just moments before. Hojo jumped at the sound, and Kagome ran out of the houseThe second she saw the branch, only one thought crossed her mind...Inuyasha...
