More reviews then last time! Thanks you guys. I squeezed this chapter into my schedule. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.
Inuyasha's first day of school
The girls ditched the boys for a few minutes. They said they needed to use the bathroom. Well, Sango did anyway.
"Why do girls always have to do everything together?" Inuyasha sat on the ground.
"Curious as to what goes on in there?" Miroku winked and poked Inuyasha with his elbow.
"YOU ARE SO FREAKIN PERVERTED!"
The boys then heard giggling. They put their ears against the door.
"… I think it's hilarious how they think he's your boyfriend. From what you're telling me, he seems like a loser." Sango wiped her hands.
"He really is. My other friends are so dumb. They think that I'm going out with him." Kagome pouted.
"So set them straight!"
"I've been trying but they're still set on this whole thing! It's pissing me off!"
Inuyasha and Miroku got up. Inuyasha looked at Miroku with his eyes narrowed. Miroku stood there scratching his head.
"NOT ABOUT ME, HUH!" Inuyasha punched Miroku on his head.
"Ow! What was that for?"
"You don't know squat about girls! They were talking about me!"
Miroku punched him back.
"OW!"
"Stop it with jumping to conclusions. We only heard what they were talking about to a point. We don't even know if they were talking about you or another guy or make-up for that matter…"
"Clearly they were talking about make-up!" Inuyasha said sarcastically.
"…Whatever! I'm just trying to make a point!"
"What point?" Sango asked with a grin.
Inuyasha and Miroku faked a laugh.
"Why… Politics!"
"Politics?" Kagome's eyes narrowed.
"Yeah!" Inuyasha sweat-dropped.
"Next time, boys, learn to lie better!"
The girls giggled and walked ahead once more.
"Well, what went wrong between you two?" Sango continued their conversation.
"I don't know… I just lost interest in him. He probably thinks that we have a chance together…still!"
"He just needs to let go!"
"I'll tell him later. How I feel and all."
"You should. There's no point of misleading him."
Inuyasha punched Miroku again.
"Damn it, stop with the punching. I see you're point. Sheesh!"
"What should I do?"
"Nothing."
"That's all you can say?"
"Yes. Nothing."
"If I follow this so called advice and you're wrong…"
"Yeah… you'll punch me again. Whatever. It's your life. Your call."
Miroku walked with the girls.
"Hello ladies."
"Hey Miroku! Where's Inuyasha?" Sango asked.
"Behind us."
He put his arms around both girls.
"He's not lonely?" Kagome looked over her shoulder and saw Inuyasha with his hands in his pockets. His face was to the ground and he looked like he was in deep thought.
"You could join him if you want. Not like you have to." Miroku suggested as if he didn't know anything.
"All right!" Kagome said with a smile, "I guess I…"
She turned and saw Inuyasha with Kikyou. Kagome became gloomy.
"Who's that girl?" Sango whispered to Miroku.
"Kikyou." Kagome answered in a faint whisper with her bangs in her face.
"Oh…"
"Who's Kikyou?" Miroku asked.
"I have to go home." Kagome ran forward.
"But she's going in the wrong direction… her house is down there." Sango pointed down the road that they all ready covered.
"Who's Kikyou?" Miroku asked a second time.
"Inuyasha's psycho ex!"
"Oh… that explains a lot."
Inuyasha noticed Kagome wasn't with the others and guessed at what happened.
"Now she starts to care?"
Inuyasha looked down again.
"Well, who are those two?" Kikyou asked.
"My friends."
"And where's miss perfect?"
"I don't care…" He barely spoke.
Kikyou was surprised.
"You want to do something with me?" Kikyou asked.
"I can't. I'm busy."
Inuyasha turned around hoping to catch up with Kagome. She was going in a full circle. Inuyasha saw her running and pretended like she wasn't there. His hands were still in his pockets and he had his thinking face on. She saw him and lowered her head. They were about to meet but then Kagome crossed the street. Inuyasha's eyes understood and followed her. He ran after her but kept a distance. He then didn't care and grabbed her hand. He sensed the other one flying to smack him in the face so he ducked.
"Oh! Sorry… Inuyasha!"
"No big! Why did you leave?" He asked with no emotion.
"I had to go home." Kagome looked at her house.
"I'm not buying it."
"It's true!"
"What's up with you lately. You're distant from me."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Look." Inuyasha let go of her hand and took a step back. "If you don't like me anymore… you can tell me."
"What are you talking about?"
He looked down and said, "I over heard you talking to Sango about me. You said that you just recently lost feelings for me."
"I wasn't…"
"And you haven't told Ayumi, Yuka or Eri about us. You deny us even being together."
"Inuyasha…" Kagome smiled sweetly with a whisper.
Inuyasha looked at her as she walked up to him.
"I was talking about Hojo and how he isn't over me."
"That's all?" Inuyasha blushed.
"That's all." She held his hands and rested her head on his heart.
Inuyasha let go of her hands and immediately wrapped them around her. He hugged her close to him.
"Is that why you've been acting so weird today?"
"Yeah…" He answered quickly.
They looked at each other. He gently cupped her face in his hand and kissed her sweetly on the lips. Kagome led him to a bench outside the well house. They sat and talked for half an hour.
"You weren't lying about the whole Sesshomaru and his hair thing, were you?" Kagome asked deviously.
"A little yes and no. He's got a big ego."
"And that's from your perspective?" Kagome giggled.
"ALL YOU PEOPLE ARE SO DISGUSTING!"
Kagome broke out in laugher and stood up.
"Come on! The sun is shining, the birds are singing and my stomach is growling! Let's go to Wacdonalds!"
"We're right next to your house. Let's eat there!"
"We have food there but I have a craving for Wacdonalds!"
"So be it."
Kagome grabbed his hand and dragged him down the giant staircase. Inuyasha smiled to the thought that everything between them was cleared and now they could have a nice, peaceful day with each other. Down the sidewalk, the two held hands. Kagome's face was glowing and Inuyasha was just glad to be around her. They didn't know that Hojo was right behind them. The guy had nothing else to do so he just walked around the area. Once he caught sight of Inuyasha and Kagome holding hands, he decided that he would unexpectedly join them at Wacdonalds.
Kagome sat down in the booth next to the window. The same one in which she and her friends sit at. She told Inuyasha exactly what she wanted and he went to order. She closed her eyes and thought how wonderful it was to be with Inuyasha and suddenly a song popped up in her head. Hojo walked in and saw Kagome bobbing her head. He laughed and she heard him.
"Fancy meeting you here!" Kagome giggled.
"What were you doing?" Hojo sat down with her.
"Just playing a song in my head."
"Mind if I join you?" Hojo was extremely polite.
"Um… I'm with someone right now… hanging out and all."
"Oh really? Who is it?"
"Me…" Inuyasha sat close to Kagome.
"Hey Inuyasha! You two are together?" Hojo acted surprised.
"Yes!" Both answered.
"Well… that's a shocker!"
"Why?" Inuyasha asked.
"I over heard some girl on the street talking about Inuyasha. She said something about if he gets another girlfriend… she'll kidnap her or something like that."
Inuyasha and Kagome laughed.
"Good joke, Hojo!" Kagome drank her soda.
"I know right!" Hojo sweat-dropped.
After a few minutes of talking and seeing as though he couldn't impress Kagome, Hojo made an excuse and left.
"Took him long enough!" Inuyasha sighed after Hojo closed the door.
"Yeah!" Kagome rested her head on Inuyasha.
Outside, they saw Sesshomaru running. Behind him was Rin and behind her were Koji and Ayumi.
"Oh come on! How long has he been running from her?" Kagome stood up.
"An hour? I don't know!"
"That's it!"
Kagome ran after Koji and Ayumi. She ran faster then them and passed Rin as well.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Kagome yelled out to get Sesshomaru's attention.
Sesshomaru turned and saw Kagome flying down on him.
"HOLY CRAP!" Sesshomaru yelled out as Kagome knocked him down onto his face.
Rin yelped out in glee and added some extra weight onto him.
"Ooof!" He breathed out.
Kagome stood and dusted herself off as little Rin had her fun with Sesshy's head. Koji, Inuyasha and Ayumi caught up with their mouths on the floor.
"What?" Kagome gave them a look. "It was getting annoying!"
"Wow!" Koji regained his reality.
"What?"
"Nothing, it's just I never knew you were capable of something like that."
"I'm capable of a lot of things. I'm just being modest." Kagome giggled.
"You're usually modest?" Inuyasha cracked one at her.
"Shut up!" She punched him playfully.
Inuyasha rubbed his arm.
"I'm bored! Getting Rin to catch Sesshomaru was fun and all but now I'm all bored out of my mind!"
"That was fast!" Ayumi giggled.
"Yes! I declare to the world that I am bored." Kagome spread her arms out.
"GET HER OFF!" Sesshomaru struggled to get up.
"Rin, it's not nice to do… what you're doing to Sesshomaru." Koji said nicely.
"Oh! I am sorry Fluffy!" Rin got off with a curious look on her face. Sesshomaru dusted himself off and pouted.
"Yeah… why did you jump on me Kagome?"
"I all ready said that it was getting on my nerves that you're running away from a harmless girl… so… I took it into my own hands. Besides, your hair isn't that bad."
Rin spiked his hair up and without using gel.
"She is an artist, isn't she?" Ayumi held Koji's hand.
"You should see what she does with her dolls!" Koji laughed.
Rin cried hysterically as Ayumi and Koji pulled her away from the others. It was time for everyone to go home. Sesshomaru waved with relief. While pushing Inuyasha and Kagome, he sighed.
"Did you believe that thing that Hojo told us? I mean it seemed like he was telling the truth, at least a little bit." Kagome stretched.
"It did but who do we know that would want to kidnap you?" Inuyasha rubbed his chin.
"Kikyou…"
"Kikyou! She would never do that!" Inuyasha raised his voice.
"But think about it! All she's been towards me it rude and obnoxious… plus she has a bad record."
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HER? SHE COULD HAVE CHANGED… DID THAT EVER OCCUR TO YOU?"
"… … … …"
There was a silence.
"JUST ADMIT THAT YOU'RE STILL IN LOVE WITH HER BECAUSE YOU DON'T SEEM TO BE VERY MUCH INTO ME! JUST SAY THE SENTENCE AND WE'LL END OFF OUR RELATIONSHIP!" Kagome bursted out. By this time they were in front of the staircase.
"I'm not in love with her…"
"BULLSHIT!"
This pushed Sesshomaru back.
"No need for cursing! This can be settled nicely!"
"I DON'T NEED ADVICE FROM YOU, SESSHOMARU! BESIDES, ONLY YOUR BROTHER KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS SO LET HIM DECIDE WHAT'S GOOD AND WHAT'S BAD FOR HIM!"
"… … I don't love her!" He faintly whispered.
"FORGET YOU! YOU'RE SUCH A JERK!" Kagome ran up the stairs and walked the rest of the way once the brother's weren't in her sight.
Sesshomaru stood there dumb-founded. Inuyasha sat down on the staircase with his hands clenched together. Sesshomaru took a seat next to him in the same way. Inuyasha was in deep thought as Sesshomaru thought about their current situation.
"She saw right through me but…what am I going to do? Tell her the truth? No! It will hurt her… but if I do tell her it will still hurt her. This time I was sure…"
"Why did you lie to her?" Sesshomaru asked seriously.
"I… choked."
"And the truth?"
"I can't let her know! It will hurt her too much."
"But you lying will hurt her even more. Did you think about that?"
"…"
They sat there for a couple of minutes when out of nowhere, Inuyasha stood up. Sesshomaru believed that he would go to Kagome but instead, he walked in towards their home. Sesshomaru looked behind him and stared at the shrine.
"I should go tell her! But… Inuyasha should tell her."
He put one foot on the stairs and heard Inuyasha growl.
"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!" He roared.
Sesshomaru quietly took his foot off and walked ahead of Inuyasha.
"What the hell was that!" Sesshomaru thought to himself.
"And it was such a nice day!" Sesshomaru sighed.
End of 16. Thanks for waiting. Please review!
