No more complaining about short chapters! And kit knows that they look longer because of the a/n at the end but she feels like when people say stuff they deserved to be answered, kit isn't forcing you to read it or anything. When all people say it stuff like "the chapters were short" it affects kits writing ability! Writers block was receding but now it is starting to come back and if you people aren't happy with this then go read something else because kit isn't going to change for anybody.

Chapter 9: Non-believer.

Inuyasha and Kagome were resting peacefully on his living room couch. Kagome was absentmindedly flipping through the channels on the TV while Inuyasha was blankly staring of into space, lost in his own little world.

He didn't know why but sitting this close to her made him think. About her, about him, about life in general and were he wanted to go with his. Then it hit him like a ton of bricks. He knew exactly what he wanted in his future. He wanted her, wanted her to be with him, forever. He hadn't meant for things to end up this way, but maybe it was true. Opposites attract.

He would have loved to blame his feelings on something, anything else. He knew that she meant more to him than anything, more than anything had in a long time. The hard part was figuring out if she felt the same way. Sure, they had become friends, in a way. It was better than enemies at least.

He turned his head slightly so he could see her.

'As long as she is happy, I'm happy.'

Kagome was thinking too. Going over what had happened today, for the last week or two. It was strange, their relationship. By being mean to one another, playing pranks and embarrassing the hell out of her they had grown closer. They were friends now, well not friends, but something else.

She new that she had fallen for him, but like hell was she going to admit it! She may be hanging with a jock, something she never would have thought she would do in the past, but she couldn't fall for one.

'And why the hell is he staring at me!'

"Why are you staring at me?"

"Wha...oh, um."

"Spit it out already!" Lack of sleep and people staring at her were her two top pet peeves and both happening at the same time was not a good thing.

Instead of answering her he kissed her, and instead of pushing him away like she new she should've done she kissed back. Every nerve in her body burned at his touch, her heart felt like it was going to burst with want and need. She wrapped her arms around her neck and suddenly found herself in a very compromising position. He was on top of her, one hand around her waist the other next to her head. He pulled away, they both needed air.

"Kagome, I love you." He leaned in for another kiss when Kagome pushed him off her, tears streaming down her face.

"I don't believe you."

'It's just another joke, he makes me fall madly in love with him then breaks my heart. Well this time he's gone too far.'

Inuyasha just stood there in shock, his heart was shattered when she said those four simple words. He was helpless to do anything as she stormed out the door, slamming it behind her.

Little did he know that her heart was breaking too. She had finally admitted to herself that she had fallen in love with a jock. The king of jocks, out of all the people, she had to fall in love with her polar opposite. And all along he had just been playing games with her heart, or at least that's what she thought. It started to rain and she was only half way home. She didn't have a jacket either, but she didn't really care. Her tears mingled with the rain as she looked up at the sky, as if looking for answers in the stormy clouds overhead.

She was soaked to the bone and the tears had ceased for a few minutes, then she got back to her house. Her car reminded her of everything and once again the tears started to fall, though it was hard to tell with the rain. She ran into the house, thankful that Souta wasn't home yet and her mom didn't seem to notice her. She ran into her room and looked around. There were so many things that reminded her of him in her room. Pictures, things she had used for pranks. She started to chuck everything into her garbage can. She cursed her eyes for betraying her pain and her heart for falling in love with someone like him.

She was exhausted and collapsed on her bed, thinking about the first time they even met. She had come such a long way from there.

========flashback========

Kagome reached her new locker and opened it up. No one else's junk was in there so she hoped she got one to herself, not very likely, but she could hope. Just as she finished putting her books on the top shelf girls in the hall started mumbling and shrieking.

"He is the hottest guy in school!"

"And captain of the soccer team too!"

"Omigod! Did you see that?! He winked at me!" Kagome ignored the stupid jock crazy girls and slammed her locker shut. She turned around only to run smack dab into somebody.

"Sorry about that." She looked up at the guy she had run into to find weird gold eyes staring back at her. A scowl crossed her face and she shoved past him.

"I take that back, I don't need to apologize to some cocky jock whose ego is bigger than japan."

"Oh Kami-sama help me, please say I don't have to share a locker with someone like you." Kagome jerked her thumb at the locker behind her.

"If that's your locker then you do have to share it with someone like me. Get a life retard."

"Kami-sama someone's PMSing today." Kagome"s battle aura sparked and she glared at him.

"This is nothing you bastard. Just stay away from me."

"Wench."

"Flea ridden dog."

"Whore."

"Cocky immature jock!" Kagome stomped on his foot and walked away, leaving him jumping on one foot, muttering obscene curses. Kagome stomped into her first class and sat next to Sango.

========end flashback========

She couldn't help but let out a small, barely audible giggle, despite her tears and heartbreak as she drifted to sleep.
