An: Hello my wonderful readers, I sincerely apologise for taking so long to update! I am getting a bit confused about the development of this story and having a really bad case of writers block so please excuse me for the terrible chapters I have done so far. I promised I will try to make it heaps and heaps better and hopefully longer!
Title: An embarrassing position
~~~~~***~~~~~
Kagome ran out of the hospital unable to stay in there any longer. She could not be rid of the thought that one day it was going to be her in Rin's position, her lying there silent and still with death lurking around the corner.
"I-I don't want to die." She whispered to herself ashamed at her own fear. Life was so unfair. Whipping the tears away angrily she walked away from the hospital hoping against hope that she would never have to step into that place again.
Kicking the dirt underneath her as she walked down the street she wondered what it would be like to be Rin right now. Kagome smirked to herself, "well you certainly wouldn't be lucky enough to have a guy that loves you so much to be by your side."
She signed and was about to turn back when she glimpse a streak of white in the crowds ahead. "Could it be…?"
~~~~~***~~~~~
Inuyasha growled as he walked down the street pushing the crowd out of his way. Miroku was going to be pissed again but unless he was stupid, there was no way he would expect Inuyasha to do what he wants him to do. And that includes all those stupid interviews and press conferences. To him they were nothing but a waste of time
He frowned when he saw a familiar face up ahead as he pushed closer he was surprised when he saw Kagome, at that same moment Kagome's eye meet with his and both of them started as they stood rooted to the ground lost in each others gaze. Inuyasha was the first to break their silence; he walked forward and gave her a brief smile.
"Fancy meeting you here."
"Yeah." Kagome said uncomfortably staring at the ground, she didn't expect to meet Inuyasha and she definitely wasn't in the mood to talk to him either.
Both of them stood there awkwardly in silence for a moment before Kagome broke in:
"You know, I would love to stay and chat by I really have to go so..." Kagome was about to go when she felt his hand grab hers.
"Wait Kagome, I just like to apologise for my abrupt behaviour last time we meet."
"Well I would have thought that after all these years we were apart our first meeting would be more important than your business." Kagome practically spat the last word out then stepped back slightly surprised at her own anger.
Inuyasha stood silent for a while and then lifted his eyes and looked straight into her own. She flinched staring into the amber depth unable to look away. Finally he broke off his stare. "Here, how about I make up to you by inviting you to dinner?"
"But it's already nine o'clock!"
"So?" Inuyasha asked amused at the girl in spite of himself.
Kagome looked at him helplessly. "I-I can't. I told you, I am busy."
"So your business is more important than our friendship huh?"
Kagome bit her lips cursing him for using her own words to get back at her. "Fine, but I can't stay for long." Inuyasha smile triumphantly. "No worries."
~~~~~***~~~~~
Kagome signed and relaxed as she lean back into the soft chair, they were sitting by the window in a posh restaurant feeling full from the amount of food they ate, she didn't really want to stay there for long but the food was so amazing, most of which she had never tasted before and not to mention that fact that Inuyasha was handling the bill.
Kagome looked out of the window staring at the busy roads and people, she was still thinking about Rin and felt guilty leaving like that, "maybe I should have stayed," she thought. "Then she wouldn't have meet Inuyasha at all but is that a good thing or not?"
"Are you alright?" A voice broke through. She jumped a little and looked at him sheepishly.
"Shouldn't you be going back now," she said. "I am sure someone as famous as you would be quite busy." Kagome clapped her hand over her mouth cursing herself for what she said. She didn't quite mean for it to come out that way but it was too late. Inuyasha stiffened and glare at her.
"I have plenty of things to do I am just too stupid to waste my time on you." He pushed his chair back roughly and stood up really to leave when Kagome jumped up and grabbed his hands stopping him in his tracks.
"What do you want now?"
"I-I am sorry okay, that was not what I meant, I meant that since you are famous and all you should be busy so you would be wasting your time - no you would be wasting my time, I mean we will both be wasting time so…"
Kagome thumped her leg in frustration not quite knowing what she meant. "Just, just ignore what I say okay?" She looked at him pleadingly and started when his lips curled up into a huge smile before breaking up in laughter.
Kagome blushed feeling her face go red, "shut up!" She hissed in anger making her way over to where he was standing when she accidentally knocked into a waiter who was holding a large bowl of boiling soup. The bowl tipped and poured over Kagome leaving her howling in pain from the boiling liquid.
Fully pissed off, Kagome half dragged half kicked the still laughing Inuyasha out of the restaurant after apologising for their disturbance and paying for their dinner. Later on they stopped off near a restroom for Kagome to wash of the residues left by the soup. Kagome signed, she is going to have a hell of a time explaining to her mom why she came home with her hair and clothe wet and smelly matted with little pieces of food.
"Oy, you done yet?" An annoying voice drifted in from outside.
"Yeah, I will be done after I squish your big head down to toilet." Kagome muttered darkly.
"What did you say?"
"Oh nothing." She called back in perfect innocence. "Just saying it was a pity wasting such a good bowl of soup!"
"Yeah what ever just hurry up."
"Moron."
~~~~~***~~~~~
Kagome and Inuyasha walked side by side under the white light of the brilliant moon. The street, devoid of anyone held a sense of comfort to Kagome as she lifted her head to welcome the breezed. She inclined her head and looked at Inuyasha.
"You've changed." She said lightly.
He stared at her his long hair hiding his expression. "Have I?" He asked her.
Kagome smile and closed her eyes her face lit up in joy as she remember back to when they were young.
"I remember you as a young carefree and a happy boy, you were never scared and never doubt yourself, to me you were my star my model." Kagome glanced at Inuyasha wondering how he was taking this in.
She continued: "I don't really know, I suppose you just have this aura which makes it impossible to stay unhappy around you. You know that time when Mika was beating me? I prayed and prayed for you to come and there you were right in front of me you face flushed in anger at her. I never felt so safe in my life."
"People change…"
"But you are completely different!" Kagome cried forcefully. "You have become cold and ignorant, in can see it in your eyes that you no longer care anymore, if you didn't look like yourself I would not have recognized you!"
Inuyasha gritted his teeth and stop abruptly. "What is your point Kagome?" He said in anger.
Kagome looked at him trying to see through his eyes and grabbed his arm. "Tell me what happened, what happened after you left?"
He wrenched his arm away, "mind your own business!" He shouted. "Don't try to understand me, you are nothing but a stupid girl, you will never ever understand me so don't!"
Shocked, Kagome took a few steps back watching him pant slightly from his outburst.
"I won't." She said quietly. "Until you tell me why you have changed so much, until you tell me why you have become such a horrible person and until you have told me want happened to you in this past ten years I will not MIND MY OWN BUSINESS!"
Inuyasha swung around and gripped to front of her shirt pulling her toward him until they were millimetres apart.
"You want to know huh?" He growled and the terrified girl in front of him. "What do you want to know? You want to know how my parents were tortured and murdered in front of my very eye. Or do you want to know how I have run for my life for five years starving along the side of the street? What I have experienced in my life is something I like to keep to my self." He said cruelly. "And unless you want to suffer, you better stay out of it."
Inuyasha sneered at her and let go of her shirt pushing her back watching as she fell crashing down onto the pavement. "Goodnight." He said his eyes glinting harshly and disappeared into the night.
Kagome picked her self up shaking in extortion as her eyes knotted in fear. She winched at the slight movement feeling pain lace up through her body. Examining herself, Kagome found several cuts and gashed along both of her arms. Her knee was bleeding and she was sure there was going to be plenty of bruises on her body when she wakes up the next morning.
It was near midnight and she had no idea where she was. Kagome shivered under the pitch black sky which was studded with pin point stars and stumbled a few steps along the path cursing Inuyasha for abandoning her.
The cold of the night was settling in with the wind picking up speed, Kagome started to panic not wanting to be left along in this place spinning around she eyed the area desperately for any sigh of human activity and in her dismay there was none but the oppressing silence occasionally disrupted by the called of an owl.
Kagome sucked a breath in and clutched her throat. "Not now!" she screamed silently to herself. Her heart was beating wildly as she fumbled around in her pockets for her medication, her head swarming in nausea.
Her finger came in contact with her bottle and pulled it out. Kagome felt her self beginning to lose conscious and the ground loomed up to her face as she crashed back down for the second time of the day. She dimly glimpsed the orange tablets scattered along to ground sinking back into her well familiar world of darkness. Her eyes closed.
End
See you for now!
