Disclaimer: Inuyasha is mine, it's all mine. -Wakes up.- Aw man! It was only a dream. -Pouts.- I still don't own it.
A/N: This chapter is a sad one, I almost cried writing this. -Sobs a little.- Not really, but this chapter is still pretty sad. Also it's 'kinda' short, but it is sorta longer than the first two. Well I think it is.
Chapter 4: The lose of a friend.
Kagome was still on the phone with Hojo. "No sorry Hojo, I can't go to the movies with you."..."I'm sorry, but hey come over, I have something to tell you."..."Okay see you soon Hojo, bye." Kagome hung up and walked back to the others. "So what was that all about?" Inuyasha says in a jealous tone. "Nothing, Hojo was just being himself and asking me to a movie but I'm not going. I have to tell him about us so I invited him over." "Feh, that loser didn't deserve you in the first place." Kagome smacked him on the back of the head again. "Hey what did you do that for!" Inuyasha rubbed the back of his head. "For being so mean." "Well it's true isn't it?" Kagome just turned away from him. "Hmph..." "Feh..." Inuyasha crossed his arms and turned away as well.
Ten minutes later there was a knock on the door. "It's Hojo!" Kagome sprang up and rushed to the door. When she opened it there stood Hojo, holding a buqet of flowers and he handed them to Kagome. "Here Kagome, I figured I would buy you these." Kagome smiled and took the flowers. "Thanks Hojo, please come in and sit down." Hojo walked in and saw Inuyasha sitting there and waved to him. "Hey there." Inuyasha just sat there with his arms crossed, staring at Hojo. "Uh..." Hojo blinked and turned to Kagome. Kagome was putting th flowers in a vase full of water. "So Kagome, what is it that you need to tell me?" Kagome turned and smiled. "Have a seat and I will get to it." Hojo nodded and sat down on the couch, next to her mom. "So Hojo, how have you been?" Kagome's mother asked with a smile. "Just the same, studying for school and all." She smiled and nodded some. Kagome then walked to Inuyasha and sat down in his lap. Hojo was in shock to see this. "Umm, Hojo?" "Yes Kagome?" Hojo was still in shock for seeing Kagome sitting in Inuyasha's lap. "I know you must wonder why I am sitting in his lap well, it's cause we are going out." Hojo gasped and his eyes started to water. "There is more..." At this time Hojo looked as if he was too pass out. "I'm pregnant with Inuyasha's baby, or pup actually." At hearing those words, Hojo broke out in tears and felt as if his heart had been shattered. He stood up and slowly walked to the door, walking a bit lopsided. "I'm sorry Hojo, you never made a move and Inuyasha did. I had a secret crush for both of you but I wanted to see who would make the first move and be with them. Since Inuyasha was the first one to make a move, I choose him" Without a word, Hojo walked out the door crying with very bad emotional pain. Kagome nearly broke out in tears as well and ran up to her room, slaming the door shut.
Inuyasha was watching the two, a bit confused on what was happening. "Now what has got into her?" Inuyasha asked curiously. "You got to understand Inuyasha, those two have known eachother for years and Hojo had a crush on her for a very long time, but he never took the chance of asking her out. Now it is too late since you already did." Inuyasha shruged. "Well it's his fault." "True, but the point was that they have known eachother for a very long time." Inuyasha leaned back in they chair, putting his hands behind his head. "Do you think I should give her some space for a while, or should I go comfort her?" Kagome's mom just lowered her head slightly. "I'm not too sure, something tells me for you to just give her some space, but something else tells me for you to comfort her." Se raised her head back up and looked to Inuyasha. "So it is up to you to deside. Choose what you think is best for you to do." Inuyasha nodded and stood to his feet. "I think I will try and comfort her, see where that leads, and if that doesn't work I will just give her space." Kagome's mom smiles and nods. "That is your choice. Now go to her, be the man in her life that will bring her joy." Inuyasha nods and heads up to her room.
Meanwhile, in Kagome's room, she was laying down on her bed with her face buried in her pillow, crying. Then a knock on the door was heard. "Kagome it's me, can I come in?" Inuyasha's voice was heard on the other side. "Yeah you can come in Inuyasha." Inuyasha opened the door and walked it, closing the door back up behind him. Inuyasha walked over to her bed and sat down and started to rub Kagome's back. "Go ahead and cry Kagome. Mom told me what the reason is that you are crying like this." Kagome sat u next to him and wrapped her arms around him and buried her face in his chest, still crying. "I know I shouldn't be crying like thing but...I feel so bad for doing this to Hojo." Inuyasha put his arms around her and holds her close against him. "Don't feel bad Kagome. It's not your fault for any of this. In all reality it is his fault. He never asked to go out with you, all he ket doing was ask you to go to movies with him and everything, but I did ask you. I love you so much and it's not funny." Kagome smiled some, looking up to Inuyasha and he smiled and wiped the tears from her eyes. "There's that lovely smile of yours." Kagome blushed a little and kissed Inuyasha softly on the lips. "Inuyasha, I love you." "And I love you too Kagome." They both kissed again, having their toungues explore eachothers mouths.
While they were kissing, rapid footstep thuds were heard going up the stairs as if someone was running up them to her room. Kagome's mom barged in. "Kagome, Inuyasha come quick! It's Hojo!" The two quickly broke the kiss and looked to her. "What, Hojo!" They both said at the same time. "No time to explain, now come on!" They quickly got up and ran downstairs and the looked at the TV and there it showed Hojo, standing on the roof edge of a skyscraper yelling out. "Kagome, I loved you! Now with you gone I have no reason to live!" Kagome watched in shock, bursting in tears again. "Oh no, it's all my fault." Kagome fell to her knees and layed her face in her hands and cried. Her mom kneels down next to her and comforted her as best as she could and Inuyasha watched as Hojo jumped off the tall skyscraper. "Oh great!" Just then Inuyasha ran out the door and ran to the skyscraer Hojo jumped off of as fast as he could, hoping to get there in time. Sadly he was a few seconds too late and Hojo layed on the sidewalk, dead and his blood splatered everywhere. "Oh no..." Inuyasha's eyes start to water. "I'm too late..."
Inuyasha walked back to Kagome's house and walked through the door with his head down and what looked to be a tear rolling down his cheek. Kagome quickly got up and ran to Inuyasha and hugged him tightly, still crying her eyes out. Inuyasha was crying as well and he hugged back tightly. "I'm so sorry Kagome, I didn't get there in time to save him." Kagome couldn't speak, she had her face buried in his chest, crying. By the time Kagome calmed down, the front of Inuyasha's kimono was soaked from her tears, but he didn't worry about it, he understood. "Kagome, I will stay at your side to comfort you as best as I can, till you somehow get over this, no matter how long it takes." Kagome smiled to hear those words from him. "I love you Kagome, and I always will." Kagome calmed down a lot now, thanks to Inuyasha's love for her. "I love you too, Inuyasha." The two just sat on the couch and cuddles for what seemed like hours till Kagome looked up at him and said. "What about Sango and the others? They would be worried about us not coming back." Inuyasha scraced his head. "Yeah your right. I will go tell them what's going on real quick and you can go jump in the shower while I'm gone." Kagome nodded and they kissed deeply. "I love you Inuyasha." "And I love you Kagome." They kissed again and Inuyasha got up from the couch. He grabbed her hand and helped her to her feet and kissed her again on the cheek this time and left out the back for the shrine. Inuyasha instandly jumped into the well.
