A/N: Hey! I'm back with a new chapter! Sorry for the EXTREMELY long wait. I give thanks to my reviewers on (one of whom I know personally) for inspiring me to keep going with this story. My other story on is more popular than this one, but I hope more people will read and review!
Chapter Two
Last time:
"Inuyasha, are you okay? Say hi to Kagome," said Miroku.
K-Kagome! You're back! I missed you... wait, what the HELL am I thinking! She betrayed me, so why should I pay her any heed! Inuyasha thought to himself.
"Inu...yasha? What? Aren't you glad to see me?" asked Kagome a little disappointed.
"Ka-Kagome! Why the HELL did you come back!" shouted Inuyasha. His familiar amber eyes were full of disbelief and anger, and his body shook with anger to the silver hair on his head.
"Wha... what do you mean?" asked Kagome, tears visibly forming in her eyes.
Now:
Everyone who knew either Kagome or Inuyasha was in a state of shock. None of them had any idea of what he was talking about.
"You know damn well what I'm talking about, Kagome," Inuyasha snarled. The tears Kagome was trying desperately to hold in were now spilling down her face.
"Are you still mad that I moved away? Is that what this is about?" Kagome yelled through her tears.
Miroku and Shippo had alarmed looks on their faces. Kagome never got this upset in one sitting, but when someone pissed her off, you might as well start praying for your life that she doesn't kill you too.
"If that's the reason for all of this, then I'll have you know that I didn't really have a say in the matter because my parents made me go with them. Even a complete asshole would understand that. But then again, you're not just an asshole. You're a heartless bastard who doesn't care about anyone but himself!" she shrieked, surprising her cousins. They had never ever seen Kagome mad before, but they thought that this hanyou could bring out the worst in anyone.
"Kagome calm down! Let's just go now..." Rin started, but she was interrupted by her furious cousin.
"No. This baka yarou needs to get what he deserves." Kagome walked up toward the boys, stopping when Miroku and Shippo stood in front of her. An evil glare was in her eyes.
"Move," she hissed, her voice a lethal death threat. When the boys didn't move, her eyes narrowed and her voice took on an altogether frightening quality. "If the both of you want to live, you will move out of my way now."
With an audible gulp, both boys scampered to the safety of the girls and watched as Kagome advanced on Inuyasha.
"This isn't going to be good for Inuyasha," Miroku said to the girls. They looked at each other before looking back to the two in front of them. Inuyasha had his back to the wall, and although he looked calm, you could tell he was secretly afraid of the young teenage girl in front of him.
"You listen to me, Inuyasha, and you listen close. I won't repeat myself. If you want to be pissed at the world, that's fine with me. You can be pissed at me all you want, but the next time you say anything like that again, I suggest you have a reason to back it up with, otherwise I will kick your sorry ass back to the Feudal Era if you're not careful. Got it?" When Kagome was sure that he had understood her, she surprised everyone by slapping him across the face, harder than Sango had ever slapped Miroku. When he put his hand to the throbbing red handprint on his face, she surprised them again by punching him in the stomach.
She then turned and walked out, grabbing Rin and Sango by the wrists and saying a brisk goodbye to Shippo and Miroku, who were still in a state of shock. Once she had left, they rushed over to Inuyasha.
"What the hell was that about, Inuyasha?" Miroku asked angrily.
"Yeah. What is going on?" Shippo added.
Inuyasha stood with a grunt and leaned up against the wall. "Nothing."
Shippo and Miroku looked at each other before giving Inuyasha skeptical looks. "If you say so," Miroku said before he and Shippo headed for his truck in the parking lot.
"I wonder why Inuyasha's so mad at Kagome. I mean, she never did anything to him," Shippo said to Miroku once they were outside and out of Inuyasha's hearing range.
"I don't know, but I don't think we should ask Kagome about it. I don't think he's mad about her moving, and if that's not the reason, then neither Kagome or us knows what it really is," Miroku summed up. Shippo made an understanding face before climbing into the passenger side of Miroku's truck.
Meanwhile...
Kagome dragged her protesting cousins to her car and practically threw them in before jumping in herself and speeding off, ignoring the cries of her passengers.
"Kagome, what the hell is with you today!" Sango screamed, but Kagome ignored her. She was still fuming.
Why the hell is Inuyasha mad at me! He knows good and well that I didn't move by choice. It was either move with my parents or go to a boarding school in America. No matter how much I want to go to America, I couldn't bare to leave my friends behind. I'd rather be a five hour drive away than a ten hour overseas flight from them.
She pulled into the garage and got out of her car, slamming the door behind her. She stormed into the house, completely ignorant to the fact that Sota and Kohaku were sitting in the living room watching TV. She stormed to her room and shut the door loudly. Rin and Sango were about to barge in when they heard Kagome sobbing on the other side of the door. They looked at each other before walking back into the living room and switching off the TV by the alternate remote they kept hidden in case the boys hogged the other one.
"Hey! We were watching that!" Sota cried. A dirty look from Sango quieted any further protests.
"Okay, you guys. If you even bother Kagome once tonight, I will make sure you don't live to see the age of fifteen, got it?" Sango threatened. The boys nodded frightfully, and Sango and Rin retreated to Sango's room. They noticed that Kagome had stopped crying and now sounded like she was beating the shit out of her pillow. A sigh could be heard, and after a few minutes of shuffling around, they heard her strum a few chords on her guitar. The girls looked at each other sadly.
"It's happening again," Rin whispered.
"Yeah. The only times she's picked up her guitar in the last three years was after she moved in with us, when she heard that her parents had died, and when that egotistical bitch Kikyo called and said that Inuyasha had asked her out," Sango declared. In the other room, they could hear Kagome playing a song they had heard once before.
I never could have seen this far
I never could have seen this coming
It seems like my world's falling apart
Yeah
Why is everything so hard?
I don't think that I can deal
With the things you said
It just won't go away
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I can just pick up the pieces
But to you this means nothing
Nothing at all
I used to think that I was strong
Until the day it all went wrong
I think I need a miracle to make it through
Yeah
I wish that I could bring you back
I wish that I could turn back time
Cuz I can't let go
I just can't find my way
Yeah
Without you I just can't find my way
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I can just pick up the pieces
But to you this means nothing
Nothing at all
I don't know what I should do now
I don't know where I should go
I'm still here waiting for you
I'm lost when you're not around
I need to hold on to you
I just can't let you go
Yeah, yeah
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I can just pick up the pieces
But to you this means nothing
Nothing at all
You feel nothing
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Kagome put down her guitar and changed into her pajamas. She didn't feel like talking to anyone right now. She crawled into her bed with red eyes and tearstained cheeks. Right before she closed her eyes to fall asleep, she whispered something.
"Why, Inuyasha? Why did you have to betray me?"
A/N: Okay, here's Chapter Two!
