Chapter Nineteen

Inuyasha entered the class room late as usual.

What was he going to do?

It's not like he went up to Kikyo in front of Kagome and kissed her…

Well, technically I did, but I didn't want to.

He sighed.

He was too caught up in his thinking that he forgot all about the teacher next to him, yelling at him appearing to class late.

He turned, still lost in thought, and stared at the teacher. With sad regretful eyes, Inuyasha looked at the teacher.

He stopped with his lecture about being on time, by the shock of the look in his eyes. Inuyasha just sighed and put his head down.

He made his way to the only open seat in the room, the seat behind Kagome.

Kagome was reading a magazine as he passed by her.

She didn't make any move of noticing his appearance. Sure, she knew he had come in, but didn't want to look at him at that moment.

She wanted to scream, to yell, to do anything to not have him sitting behind her right then.

As soon as she noticed the jealousy rising in her blood, one thought came to mind, but not only to hers, but to the hanyou behind her.

Why do I even care who he likes or doesn't? Aren't we just friends?

Wait, why does she even care? It's not like she likes me or anything, we're just friends.

In unison, both released a sigh.

The teacher said something about taking out the textbooks they were supposed to have bought before school and a piece of paper. Of course with a pencil too.

And of course Inuyasha hadn't bought the book and didn't have paper either.

He sighed, and saw Kagome pull out her text book, and a big chunk of paper.

The gods just want to kill me don't they?

He slowly raised his hands towards Kagome's right shoulder and tapped lightly on it.

Kagome turned around, with a face that looked like she had no emotion to what happened before, that she was upset, and yet that she was happy.

This confused him, but he ignored it and asked for what he needed.

"Um, can I borrow a piece of paper?"

Kagome just sat there and stared at him like she hadn't heard him.

He started to get embarrassed and asked again.

"Earth to Kagome! Can you even hear me? I said…"

"I know what you said Inuyasha you don't have to raise your voice."

She turned back around in her seat after she interrupted him.

Grabbing the paper she turned around and handed it to him.

"Thanks."

Kagome put on a smile, which Inuyasha knew was just for his benefit, and nodded.

She looks like she lost her best friend…

Inuyasha was really upset, and didn't like the fact that the sadness in her eyes was from him.

The teacher announced to turn to page 487 as Inuyasha was writing a note.

He looked up at the teacher in confusion, but then realized he still didn't have a book.

With the unfinished note in his hands, he dropped his pencil and tapped on Kagome once again.

"What is it now?"

Now she's angry? I don't get her at all! Feh!

"I need a book."

"Then you should have bought one."

She turned around, but soon faced Inuyasha again as she felt another tap on her shoulder.

"What!"

"I meant can I share with you."

"Fine."

She turned back into her seat, grabbed her open text book, and turned around. She placed it on his desk and seated herself comfortably, facing Inuyasha.

Inuyasha noticed her glance fall off from the text book, to the note on his desk.

His hand was covering most of it, but still he at least wanted to finish it first.

He quickly crumbled it in his hand and hid it in his fist.

"What is that?"

"Nothing that you are going to know of."

"Sorry Mr. Grumpy. I was just asking."

Then Inuyasha was lit. Lit like a match and was looking at the thing he was about to burn.

"Me? I'm grumpy! You're the one in a fucken pissed of mood!"

"No I am not! And yes you're grumpy!"

She mimicked his attitude when he had said 'I'm'.

At that time, everyone had been tuned out of the teachers lessons and were staring at the two bickering.

With all the students eyes on them, and the yelling that came from their mouths, the teacher soon stopped with his lesson and stared himself.

"Ha! Right wench! You're the one pissed because I kissed Kikyo!"

Kagome was shocked, yet embarrassed about he comment just made towards her.

"Why would I be fucken pissed about that! You can kiss anyone! I don't care! God, I've only known you for almost a week, not even and you think you know me! News flash you don't! It's not like I love you like she does, and like you do her! We're not even friends!"

She yelled the loudest she could that time.

She couldn't help it, that comment set her off.

With tears in her eyes which are were about to run down her flushed cheeks, she picked up her books on her desk and ran out of the class room.

She had to get out of the room, so no one could see her cry.

"Hey! Ms. Higarashi! Get back here!"

The teacher yelled, but gave up and sighed.

"Ok students. That was quite some entertainment there Inuyasha, but we must get back to work. If anyone leaves, that's detention for a week!"

Inuyasha sat their in disbelief.

It wasn't that he was shocked, but dissappionted and hurt.

He had seen the tears that were about to fall just before she left the room.

But that wasn't the only thing that had got to him as far as she had.

It was the fact that she had said that they weren't friends.

He thought they had become close; yes, they were only friends for about a week, but it felt like so much more, almost like each day had been a year.

He didn't know what to do as he just sat there and stared out of the door waiting for her to come back in with the smile he loved.

Loved? At this point he didn't care what he thought, as long as she came back.

Too lost in thought, he didn't realize that Kagome's book was still on his desk until the teacher yelled once again.

"Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Are you paying attention? Inuyasha!"

He turned and stared at the teacher.

"What?"

"We are now on page 845! Pay attention."

He quickly flipped through the pages until he got to the end of the book.

"Um, there isn't an 845."

"Good to see you're finally paying attention!"

That was when he looked down and noticed Kagome's book.

Now he had a way to get her, he could return the book and straighten things out then!

He looked back at the door and into the empty hall.

Then he remembered detention.

If he got a detention he wouldn't be able to hang later that day.

But if he didn't get Kagome, then he'd be skrewed for the rest of the day.

But was a weeks detention worth her friendship that she had just claimed didn't exist?

Do I really want to get a detention or work things out with her?

With that last final thought, he made his choice.
