Chapter 14-A Glimpse Inside

Six days passed as Kagome stayed in her house, her sickness getting better by the day. She couldn't say the same for her heart. She sighed as the phone rang. Slowly, she pushed herself off of her bed and walked over to the phone. She hadn't talked to Inuyasha or anyone that had been at the house when the 'event' happened in over a week. She paused before answering.

"Hello?" Kagome asked, her normal voice lost it's usual charm.

"Hello, is Kagome there?" Ayame's booming voice reached Kagome's ear, which would have usually brought a smile to her face. Today the frown stayed.

"This is her."

"Oh I'm sorry. Your voice just sounded so different than normal. Anyways, I was wondering if you could come over and watch my kids."

"What time do I have to be over there?"

"Well about 3:00 PM would be good." Kagome looked at the clock to see the small hand just past the 1.

"Sure, it'll be good to get out of this house." Kagome said as she twirled her finger around her phone cord.

"Great. I'm glad I can finally go for some time without the kids. Besides, they are really starting to miss you."

"Yea well tell them that I miss them too." Kagome said, a small smile cracking her normal frown.

"They said that haven't seen you around in a while, and they wanted to make sure that you were Oka." Kagome bit her lip as she closed her eyes, leaning her head against the doorframe the phone was next to.

"Yes, tell them I was just a little sick and I just had to stay home for a couple days." Kagome managed out. Ayame laughed as Kagome heard Karan's voice in the background.

"Karan wanted me to tell you that she can read now, and she does it every night before she goes to bed. I don't you know how you do it Kagome, but you managed to get my stubborn girl to read. Now maybe you can get her to do her chores." Kagome tried to laugh, though it was very weak.

"Well I guess I'll see you at three Oka?" Kagome said, waiting for Ayame's normal goodbye.

"Oka, see you then! Till then Kagome." Kagome hung up the phone and slid down the doorframe, pulling her knees up to herself. She buried her head into her knees, sealing her eyes tightly to keep the tears from falling. When she heard the phone ring again, Kagome's spin shivered and the hair on the back of her neck stood up. Slowly, Kagome managed to get to her feet as the phone rang again. Kagome slowly picked the phone off of it's receiver and lifted it to her ear.

"Hello?" She asked.

"Kagome..." Kagome's eyes widened as she heard the voice call her name again.

"No." Was all she managed before she dropped the phone back down onto it's holder. Still, her hand refused to remove itself from the phone. Her breaths were heavy and long as she felt her tears start to come back full force.

"God..." Kagome said. "I never knew even that one word would make it so hard for me to control my emotions." The phone rung again, but Kagome didn't want to answer. She let the phone ring three times before the answer machine picked up the message.

"Hey all, you've reach the Higurashi's house. If you don't know the name, then don't leave a message! Oh yea, and if you are a telemarketer don't bother either, we hate you. If you want to leave a message for the brat, then press 1, if you want the clean freak mom, press 2, but if you want to leave a message for the beautiful, wonderful girl named Kagome, press 3-Souta! Hahaha, stop! It's still recording! BEEP" Kagome's hand shook as she heard his voice again.

"Kagome I didn't do anything wrong. She kissed me, and I just didn't know that she was going to do that. I was-" Kagome couldn't take it anymore. She picked the phone up and let every ounce of anger and distress she could possible get rid of out.

"You could of pushed back. You could of said no and pushed her off." Inuyasha could tell that she was more hurt that anything else.

"Kagome yo-"

"No Inuyasha! I don't want to here your excuses or your lies. I thought I could believe you, but you shattered than." Inuyasha winced at her words. His heart felt like a spear was tossed into it, and was being twisted at everything she said to him.

Kagome would not back down. She could feel hot tears in her eyes, but she shoved the down. She knew how badly she wanted to let go and cry. But she refused to let herself be broken once again.

"Damnit Kagome, will you listen to me!" Inuyasha shouted. He wanted to save this. He was not going to throw what had happened between them over a mistake.

"No, I trusted you Inuyasha."

"And how much do you want to bet you still do?" Kagome paused and the hand on her phone unclenched. Inuyasha continued when he heard nothing from the other side of the phone. "I bet you that you're afraid to let the one person that understands you come near. I bet you've already forgiven me for the incident with Kikyo, and I doubt this has anything to do with that now. Now it's just you being afraid of how much I meant to you. God damnit it Kagome, stop being so stubborn and say something!"

"It's nothing like that. You kissed her, and now I have to deal with your choice." Kagome placed the phone on the hook and turned away. She slowly walked away from the phone. It didn't ring again

Scene Change

3:00 appeared on Kagome's watch as she hugged her coat closer. The sun was covered with cloud, making her sigh. The good-natured wind was playing with her had, beckoning it to come and play. The cold was making her eyes mist.

"This is more like fall then summer. It's like that old song, 'Summer's falling and Fall is a coming'." Kagome laughed at the old song and continued on to the kid's home. But as she kept walking down the road, one house made her feet screech to a halt.

There is was. The house that stated it all. The football was still in the yard. Again the wind pulled Kagome's hair, but the wind now jerked it towards the house. And she knew he was there. He had called her before she had left to go to baby-sit. She let the phone ring as she walked out of the house.

Kagome pulled her eyes from the house and continued to walk. She could feel a part of her mind begging her to go back. But she refused to even glance back at the cursed house. She wouldn't crawl back like a puppy in search of their owner. She wouldn't show that she needed him, even when he already knew it.

Flashback

End flashback

Inuyasha's words rung in her head like a bell. It made her shake her head as she finally made it to the kid's house. Shippo and Karan were nowhere to be found, so Kagome assumed that they were inside. Hitomi on the other hand was sitting on the stairs to the house. Kagome looked over at the young girl, who was despondent to her arrival. Before Kagome could talk, she saw Ayame on the porch, watching her oldest child with a mother's look. Kagome walked past Hitomi, who didn't even notice her, and walked over to Ayame.

"I don't know what to do Kagome. Hitomi is so depressed right now. She won't tell me what is going with her. Maybe you can talk to her." Ayame said and looked at her watch. "Oh I have to get down to that sale. I'll be home late tonight." Kagome nodded and watched Ayame walk down the street, making her smile. Ayame didn't like to drive. She liked to walk wherever she went. If should to walked to work, she would.

Hitomi didn't even notice that her mother had left. She just sighed and looked towards the road, her eyes glazed over.

"Hitomi, is something wrong?" Kagome asked, sitting next to Hitomi on the stairs.

"No." Was all she said. Of course, Kagome didn't believe her. She knew that Hitomi was lying, her eyes showed a mirror to her soul. There was jealousy, which surprised Kagome that somebody could be jealous at such a young age.

Anger stuck out in her deep brown eyes. Her eyes were stern and her nose was slightly wrinkled, as if she had just smelled something foul. Her mouth didn't have her little smile that Kagome was so used to seeing. It looked more like a grimace.

But the one emotion that Kagome had to look for was hidden pain. It wasn't a physical pain, like if she had been hit with a softball, but more like her feelings were now scarred.

"Hitomi, did someone hurt you?" Hitomi's eyes widened as she looked over to Kagome, who was now looking at the road, a slight smile placed on her lips.

"It was…Souta." Hitomi said.

"My brother?" Of course Kagome knew Souta! Souta had black hair and brown eyes, the same age as Hitomi.

"Yes. Well you see, we were enemies at first. And he was nice to me but I just didn't want to talk to him."

"Well why didn't you want to talk to him?"

"I just didn't." She said defensively. "But anyway, somehow, I fell for him. Hard. And even when I told myself not to fall for him I did. And so, one day…"Hitomi stopped and slightly blushed.

"I can tell he did something." Kagome said, as if the story was told to her before. Hitomi nodded in agreement.

"He kissed me." Hitomi said, making Kagome turn her towards the smaller girl. She tried to hide her smirk. Oh wait till I get home! Souta is going to get it!

"Well why didn't you stop him if it bothers you so much?"

"Well, the actual thing it didn't bother me. I mean, I was surprised that he kissed me and all, but I just didn't push away. I had this feeling. I can't explain it." Kagome's smile grew.

"Hitomi fell in love!" She said, Hitomi's rosy cheeks darkening considerably.

"Well that is what I thought too till I saw Maki a-"

"Wait, Maki? As in Kikyo's sister Maki?" (Yes Kikyo has a sister in this, I had to use her instead of Kaede because I'm using Kaede for something else!)

"Yes her. Well she kind of was kissing Souta so I screamed at him. He was going to say some lame excuse, but I ran away. I feel so confused and used." Kagome was shocked to say the least. She knew Souta, and that was defiantly not him.

"Are you sure that is was Souta? I mean Maki was going with that boy Luke."

"No you see, Maki got tired of him, so she dumped him."

"Oh what a horrible little girl!"

"Yea I know, but she learned everything from her sister." Hitomi said with a slight smile. "So what do I do?"

"Have you talked to Souta?" Kagome asked.

"No."

"Well why don't I call him and you can talk to him?"

"But I don't want to talk to him!" Hitomi said.

"But Hitomi, if you don't talk to him, then you'll never be friends with him again. And if you care about him as much as you do, then you want him back. Love can't be mended if one of the hearts is closed away." Hitomi looked up at Kagome and smiled.

"Oka, I guess I should call him." Hitomi said.

"Well I don't think you have to call him. He's right there." Hitomi's eyes followed Kagome's gaze to meet two chocolate brown eyes. There stood Souta, his hands in his pockets. He had a dark red shirt with a black stripe, and jean shorts. A silver chain hung around his neck.

Hitomi slowly stood up. Her eyes were locked with his, and she slowly stepped away from the steps and soundlessly walked towards the boy. Her smile was weary as she finally stopped in front of Souta.

"Hi." she said quietly, as if afraid to talk.

" Hitomi I didn't mean to." Souta started.

"Didn't mean to kiss her, or didn't mean for me to see you kiss her?" Hitomi snapped.

"You know what I didn't mean to do! I would never mean fully kiss her. I don't love her." Souta said and grabbed Hitomi's hand.

"I don't know who you love." Hitomi said and Souta sighed. Kagome watched concerned eyes. Hitomi was acting cold to Souta. Kagome could tell it had been a mistake the moment Souta started talking. For the past two days he had been like this. The pain in his eyes was almost unreal. But for some reason, Kagome had seen, no wait, she had felt that pain from someone else before.

"What do I have to do to prove who I love?" Souta asked. Hitomi just frowned.

"I don't think you can. I won't know if I believe you."

"Then maybe you'd believe this." He let go of her hand and placed his hand onto her chin. He lifted her head and locked her eyes with his. "I love a girl with black hair, brown eyes, and is too stubborn to tell me what she feels about me." Hitomi's eyes widened as she blushed slightly.

"What if I said I loved a boy who has brown hair, brown eyes, and never seems to give up on a silly girl?" She asked, barley about a whisper.

"Would that be the same boy who is holding you right now?" He asked. She nodded. Souta only smiled. "I love you too." He replied and hugged her close. Hitomi looked back at Kagome, who just smiled.

"Go ahead, just make sure to stay at his...my...our house, and I'll come walk you home before I come home." Kagome said. Hitomi smiled and nodded before letting Souta pull her away to his house.

Aww Young love! Makes me want to gag...wait...I'm the one who wrote it so I guess its Oka or whatever. I knew that this and last chapter were a little angsty, so sorry about that. But the world would not be like it is if there was no angst! So anyways, hope you liked it! A lot of people wanted me to review this weekend, so I worked really hard to get this done! Oh, and the preview!

"Well tell us Rin, what did you and Sesshoumaru really do?" Kagome asked, curiosity playing with her mind.

"We only did as much as you and Inuyasha have done." Rin was so quiet, the girls almost couldn't hear her.

"You two kissed!" Sango asked.

"Kagome kissed Inuyasha?" Heads turned to see Kikyo standing in the doorway, her hands on her hips. Her lips formed a straight from as this displeasing information.
