Inuyasha's first day of school
Inuyasha was having some doubts about taking Kagome with him to the store.
"Kagome?"
"Hm?"
"Maybe I should just take you home, with your arm like that and all," Inuyasha said looking in her eyes.
"No, it's all right. I'll..."
Sesshomaru interrupted her.
"I'll take her home, little brother." Sesshomaru smiled at her and she blushed.
"What I was going to say was that I want to stay and help. My arm is fine. Really, it's no big deal."
"All right!" Inuyasha smiled, "Let's get going."
Sesshomaru said, "I'll go with you two. Who knows what other type of damage Inuyasha could do."
"WHAT YOU....." Inuyasha was interrupted
Kagome jumped in his face holding Shispy, "Can we take Shispy? Pleasepleaseplease?"
"Uh.... Yeah... sure."
"Yes! Here that Shispy?"
Shispy barked. Kagome twirled around with Shispy to the door. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru looked at her with smiles.
"How did you find a girl like her? She's beautiful not to mention very pleasant to be around." Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha didn't take his eyes off of her and answered, "I didn't find her, she found me."
He walked away from Sesshomaru's confused expression. He went to Kagome and opened the door.
"Hey Sesshy, you comin?"
Sesshomaru woke up and said, "Uh... Yeah! Wait for me."
He ran to the door and Inuyasha said, "We better hurry. Kagome is walking pretty fast."
Kagome held a leash with Shispy attached to it. She walked with a giant smile on her face. A little girl saw Sesshomaru and ran towards him.
"FLUFFY! IT'S ME, RIN!!!"
She ran past Kagome. Inuyasha looked at Sesshomaru with a taunting smirk.
Sesshomaru sulked down and whispered, "Not now. Why me?"
"Hi Fluffy!"
"Uh.... Hi Rin ..... What are you doing here?"
"I go to store and buy yummies!"
"Wonderful," Sesshomaru responded looking to the sky.
"Are you Rin?" Kagome approached the three.
Rin turned happily. "Yes!"
"I heard what Sesshomaru did for you. Was it true?"
"He is Fluffy!"
"I'm sorry, was it true what Fluffy did for you?"
"Yes. Fluffy saved Rin and Rin like Fluffy."
"Awwww!" Kagome looked at Sesshomaru and said, "Looks like you have a girlfriend."
"Great! Why don't I get her number like the rest of the other 20 girls."
Inuyasha added, "Woah! You've been hitting on other 10 year olds?"
"No you idiot, I mean the other girls MY age."
"Oh!"
Kagome looked at Rin once more.
"Would you like to help us shop?"
"Yesyesyes!"
Kagome took her hand and they walked in front of the boys.
"She's great with children!" Sesshomaru looked at her.
"Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha looked at him.
"What?"
"Save it for the other 20 girls."
"Ha ha Inuyasha, very funny."
Kagome and Rin picked out the foods on the list and they made the boys carry them. Rin held Shispy when crossing the street. They passed a store with a beautiful dress at the window. The two girls went straight in. The boys got angry cause all they wanted to do was go home.
In the store, Kagome and Rin picked out the dress they saw at the window. Rin picked it for Kagome. It was a pink dress that went a little bit higher then the knee, no sleeves and had flourish designs on it. Kagome went to try it on while Rin and the boys sat down waiting.
"What good is a stupid dress for," Inuyasha asked Sesshomaru.
"I don't know. I'm not a girl."
Both the boys sighed and dropped their heads. Kagome came out.
"So, how do I look?"
Rin jumped up and down and said, "Pretty pretty pretty!"
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru looked up.
Inuyasha said, "Yeah, it's...."
Sesshomaru said, "It looks..."
Both the boys were speechless. Kagome spun around as the dress twirled around with her movement.
"Kagome, you look..." Sesshomaru interrupted Inuyasha.
"You look even more beautiful than ever, Kagome!"
"Thank you! I'll take it."
They went to the cashier and Kagome took out her credit card. The boys were fighting over who should pay for the dress. By the time they decided, Kagome and Rin were outside. Both of them stopped fighting and just followed the girls. It was time for Rin to go home.
"I have to go home now," she said with a big smile.
"I'll walk you home if you'd like, Rin!" Kagome looked at her.
"Thanks, but I want Fluffy to walk me home."
Sesshomaru hid behind the groceries. Inuyasha laughed at him.
"Come on, Sesshomaru," Inuyasha whispered, "she likes you. Walk her home."
"Why don't you take her home, little brother," Sesshomaru whispered back.
"Sesshomaru," Kagome yelled.
"Huh?"
"She wants you to walk her home. Could you?" Kagome smiled at Rin.
"Please Fluffy?" Rin begged.
"Anything for you Sweet Kagome."
Sesshomaru smiled and dumped all of the groceries on Inuyasha and walked towards Kagome. Rin grabbed his hand and pulled him towards her.
"This way Fluffy!" Said Rin pulling him.
Of course Sesshomaru followed but he was in a daze from seeing Kagome smile. Inuyasha struggled to walk up to Kagome with all the groceries in his hands. Kagome stood there as her eyes sparkled. She watched Sesshomaru walk away with Rin and she blushed. Inuyasha saw the way Kagome was looking at Sesshomaru and he got a little angry.
Inuyasha said loudly, "Can we please go now?!"
Kagome snapped out of her daze and answered, "Yeah, let's go! Do you need help?"
"No I don't!" Inuyasha turned his head away. "Besides, your arm hurts!"
Kagome said somewhat angrily, "Just because my arm is in a little pain does not mean I can't help!"
"Pressure won't do it any good, Kagome!"
"HMPH!"
Kagome took all the groceries that Sesshomaru dropped on Inuyasha and started to walk. Inuyasha ran next to her.
"Kagome... I'm sorry."
Kagome looked at him. She wasn't as angry once she heard those words.
"For what?"
"For your arm, for getting angry, even for making you come here with me. If you didn't come, your arm wouldn't be fine." Inuyasha looked depressed.
Kagome felt bad.
"You have nothing to be sorry about. I don't care about what happened to my arm. The bottom line is, I had fun today."
"Yeah, with Sesshomaru. I bet she likes him."
"So did I."
Kagome smiled, as did Inuyasha. Shispy was jumping up and down, barking as usual. Kagome's arm really hurt with all the pressure that was put on by the groceries. She didn't want Inuyasha to worry so she kept silent. They arrived at Inuyasha's house once more only to be greeted by his parents.
"Inuyasha! You're home," his mother yelled.
Inuyasha's father walked up to him and asked, "Who's this?"
Inuyasha looked at Kagome and said, "Oh! This is my friend, Kagome Higurashi."
"Very nice to meet you!" Inuyasha's father put out his hand. He noticed by her face expression that something was bothering her. "Are you all right Kagome?"
"Yes, it's just my arm. It..."
Inuyasha's father took the groceries from Kagome.
"These are heavy! You should have gave them to Inuyasha."
"I wanted to help him."
He noticed a small blood spot on her shirt.
"Sweet heart, you're bleeding."
Inuyasha looked at her left arm where she hurt herself before.
"It's nothing, really." Kagome smiled
"Let's go to the kitchen. We'll take care of it there." Inuyasha's father led her to the kitchen.
Inuyasha just stood there. His hair was in his face so his eyes were not visible. He felt extremely bad now that she was bleeding.
"What have I done," Inuyasha whispered.
Kagome stopped and looked at him. Inuyasha's father stopped too.
"Inuyasha, aren't you coming?" His father smiled.
Inuyasha looked up at Kagome and said, "Uh... Yeah!"
The three walked into the kitchen. Inuyasha's mother gave Kagome a big hug.
"Thanks a ton dear for helping Inuyasha out."
"It was nothing really."
"Her arm is bleeding." Inuyasha's father put the groceries down.
"Well let's have a look."
She took Kagome. Kagome sat down on a chair and Inuyasha's mother rolled up her left sleeve. She was shocked at what Kagome's arm looked like. It had five bruises. Two next to her wrist, one big one slightly above the wrist and two more next to her elbow.
"Sweety, what happened?!"
Kagome didn't want to tell on Inuyasha. Sesshomaru came home shortly after. He went into the kitchen and looked at Kagome's arm.
"It was me," said Inuyasha.
"WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO HER," Inuyasha's dad exclaimed.
"It wasn't intentional. I didn't mean to. I got Sesshomaru angry so he chased me around the house. Kagome wanted to stop us so she ran down the stairs but I knocked into her when I tried to get away from Sesshomaru. She smacked into the stairs pretty hard."
"I told you two many times before to stop fighting. Now look at what happened! She is in real pain! You two are lucky that she didn't break her arm!" Inuyasha's mom got up.
"I'm sorry, mom."
"Sorry is not going to help her out!!"
Kagome then said, "Don't be mad at them. It's regular brother stuff. Besides, it only hurts when it's touched. It's really nothing to worry about. I'll just go home and patch things up."
"No way," Sesshomaru exclaimed. "You need your wounds to be treated and mom is a doctor. She can help."
"Yes. I can definitely help!" She looked at the boys. "I'm not punishing you two because I trust what Kagome said. You better make up for this!"
Both the boys answered, "We will."
Inuyasha's mother got the first aid kit and started on Kagome's arm. The bruise next to her elbow was very sensitive. Inuyasha's mom touched it once and Kagome yelled.
"I'm sorry dear."
"It's O.K."
That pain lasted for five minutes. Inuyasha's mom wiped away the blood with an alcohol pad. It burned a little. Inuyasha then wrapped her arm carefully with some cloth.
"There you go. How does it feel," asked Inuyasha.
"It feels better. Thank you very much!"
Inuyasha's mother answered, "You're very welcome sweet heart. I'll start dinner. Will you be eating with us?"
"I'd love to but maybe I should be going home."
"Come on! Stay. Mom is the greatest cook ever!" Inuyasha smiled.
"O.K. let me just call my mom and tell her I'll be home a little late."
Inuyasha got the phone and gave it to her. She called her mom and explained everything to her. She got worried but knowing that Kagome was all right made her feel better. It was 6:00 p.m. Kagome would be home by 9:00p.m.
"Inuyasha."
"Yeah mom."
"I fixed your guitar today. It should work all right."
"Thanks a lot!"
"What was wrong with it," asked Kagome.
"One of the strings broke so mom got it fixed."
It was an electric guitar.
"Oh!"
"Well I'll be in my room if anyone needs me."
"All right," Inuyasha's mom answered.
Kagome asked, "Is it all right if I help you cook?"
"But what about your arm?" Inuyasha's mother smiled.
"It doesn't hurt. I love to cook so can I help?"
"Sure!"
"Thank you!"
Inuyasha made his way upstairs and saw Kagome chopping some vegetables in the kitchen. He smiled. He lied down on his bed and closed his eyes. In the kitchen, Kagome wanted to ask a few questions about Inuyasha.
"I know it's not any of my business but I was wondering if Inuyasha ever had a girlfriend before."
"He did once." Inuyasha's mother mixed the soup.
"Really?"
"Yes. She was a beautiful girl but she was a little crazy."
"How so?"
"She wanted to do a lot of dangerous things with Inuyasha. Inuyasha didn't want to hurt her feelings but he had no choice. He broke up with her just before we moved here."
"What was her name?"
"Her name was Kikyou. Inuyasha loved her so much but he could take her anymore. I think after all this time, he still loves her."
"I guess that means I'm out of the question."
"But then there's you." Inuyasha's mom continued. "Ever since we moved Inuyasha hasn't smiled a lot. But thanks to you he is back to normal."
"Normal? He seemed happy when I met him in school."
"I think it's because you make him feel happy. Kikyou looked just like you. It's kind of weird but I prefer you over Kikyou."
Kagome smiled and said, "Thanks. Can you tell me where the bathroom is?"
"Of course dear. It's right next to Inuyasha's room."
"Thank you."
Kagome walked up the stairs and looked into Sesshomaru's room. He was on his bed with his eyes closed. Jaken was loud. Sesshomaru picked up a pen and tossed it into the tank where Jaken was. It hit him on the head hard.
"Jaken, shut up," Sesshomaru said with his eyes closed. "Let me listen to Inuyasha's music." Jaken was quiet.
Kagome realized that Inuyasha was playing his guitar. She walked over to his room and stood outside where she couldn't be seen. Inuyasha was sitting on his windowsill, looking out the window while playing his guitar and singing. Kagome listened.
"I
missed you so much that I begged you to fly and see me
You must've
broke down 'cause you finally said that you would
But now that
you're here I just feel like I'm constantly dreaming
Well
something's gotta go wrong 'cause I'm feeling' way too damn good
For
48 hours I don'w think that we left my hotel room
Should show you
the sights 'cause I'm sure that I said that I would
We gotta make
love just one last time in the shower
Well somethings gotta go
wrong 'cause I'm feelin' way too damn good
And it's like
Every
time I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down
and
Where it lands is where it should
This time it's like
The
two of us should probably start to fight
"Cause something's
gotta go wrong 'cause I'm feeling way too damn good
Feelin' way
too damn good
Sometimes I think best if left in the
memory
It's better kept inside than left for good
Looking back
each time they tried to tell me
Well somethings gotta go wrong
'cause I'm feelin' way too damn good
And it's like
Every
time I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down
and
Where it lands is where it should
This time it's like
The
two of us should probably start to fight
"Cause something's
gotta go wrong 'cause I'm feeling way too damn good
Feelin' way
too damn good
I missed you so much that I begged you to fly
and see me
You must've broke down 'cause you finally said that you
would
But now that you're here I just feel like I'm constantly
dreaming
Well something's gotta go wrong 'cause I'm feeling' way
too damn good
And it's like
Every time I turn around
I
fall in love and find my heart face down and
Where it lands is
where it should
This time it's like
The two of us should
probably start to fight
"Cause something's gotta go wrong
'cause I'm feeling way too damn good
Feelin' way too damn good
I
missed you so much that I begged you to fly and see me
Feelin' way
too damn good
I missed you so much that I begged you to fly and
see me"

Kagome went to the bathroom as she said she would. She looked in the mirror and didn't know what to think.
"Was it a song about Kikyou?"
Kagome rinsed her face and came out of the bathroom. She passed by Inuyasha's room. He looked at her as she walked by.
"Was she listening?"
He called out to her, "Kagome?"
She walked backwards and answered with a smile, "Yes?"
"Did you hear my song?"
She pretended. "No. Do you want me to hear it?"
Inuyasha looked out the window and replied, "Uh... Well..."
He looked back and noticed she was gone.
"She did hear it. But it was about Kikyou not her. How could she know...Mom told her."
Five minutes later, Kagome went back up and told the boys that dinner was ready. Sesshomaru hurried down like a dog while Inuyasha walked slowly behind Kagome. He looked at her wondering if she really heard his song. He saw a sad expression on her face. He had no choice but to believe that she was jealous.
It was all ready 8:30 but it wasn't quite dark outside. Everyone was laughing and eating like a happy family. During the meal when Kagome wasn't looking, Inuyasha would stare at her. She seemed as though she was having a great time but it looked like she was hiding something. Kagome got up and helped put all the dishes in the sink.
She bowed and said, "Well, thank you for today. I had a great time but it seems as though I must be going home now."
"It's late. Let Inuyasha walk you home," Inuyasha's father suggested.
"Thanks but I'd rather just walk by myself. My house isn't far from here. It's just a ten minute walk."
"But what if something were to happen to you? It's best if someone takes you home Sweety," Inuyasha's mother said.
"Really I'll be fine."
Without waiting to hear another word from them, Kagome took her backpack and put on her shoes. The whole family walked up to her.
"Come back soon, Kagome," said Inuyasha's mother.
"Yes! You are all ways welcome here," said Inuyasha's father.
Sesshomaru added, "It was extremely nice to meet you, Sweet Kagome!"
"Thank you! I'll make sure of that! Bye! Bye Fluffy!"
Kagome giggled on her way out. She went straight home.
Inuyasha's mother put her hand on Inuyasha's shoulder and said, "Go follow her and make sure she's all right."
Inuyasha smiled and ran out to go after her. He kept his distance from her so she wouldn't know he was following her. He watched her go up the giant staircase. Once she reached the top, he went up. He went quickly but cautiously. He reached the top and watched her look at the giant tree. (The one where Inuyasha was pinned to. )
She looked at it and slowly closed her eyes. She hummed the song that Inuyasha sang earlier. Inuyasha now knew she heard it.
She then added words saying, "And it's like, every time I turn around, I fall in love and find my heart face down and where it lands is where it should."
A warm soft breeze hit Kagome's face. Inuyasha's amber eyes widened as he watched her sing his song.
"She looks so relieved. I don't understand. She was so tense before."
Kagome smiled sweetly and said, "It's probably the way it should be and I'm over it."
Inuyasha watched her enter her house and he walked home with his hands in his pockets.
"Why can't I get over Kikyou?"
Well that's the end of chapter 2. I love writing this story. Please review! Thankies!!!!!
