recap chapter 18

"Where is he?"

"Over there." I ran to Jin's form on the ground.

"&..." Sesshoumaru said softly. "Who did this?"

"I'll tell you what happened on the way. Give me your keys and you take him to your car."

Sesshoumaru handed me his keys and I ran over to the car and opened the back door as Sesshoumaru laid Jin down in the car. I slammed the door and got in the passenger seat and handed Sesshoumaru the keys and we were off.

"Jin, are you okay?" I asked.

"He's unconscious." Sesshoumaru said. "Tell me what happened. Who was it?"

"Inuyasha." I answered softly.

I saw Sesshoumaru's grip tighten on the steering wheel.

Chapter 19

Before School : Few Days Later

'Hmm … Wonder if Jin's doing okay …' I walked aimlessly and kicked at pebbles on the sidewalk.

"KAGOME !!" A loud voice shouted.

o.O?? I turned around and saw a hunched figure on crutches heading my way.

"JIN?!" I rushed over. "What are you doing here?!"

"Uh…" Jin smiled. "I'm going to school…." :sweatdrop:

"-.-;; I mean," I started. "What are you doing?? You should be at hold resting!! Let me hold that for you!!" I grabbed his bookbag and slung it over my shoulder.

"I'm not gonna let some little scratches keep me from school." Jin smiled arrogantly and puffed out his chest.

" -.-;; Then what the heck is that ??" I pointed at his humungous cast.

"HAHA!!" Jin laughed a bit too loudly. "Kagome, you're so silly." He picked up his pace and made his way to school.

Haha. It's okay Jin; no need to get embarrassed.

school

I stared annoyingly at Jin and the flock of our gang's girls around him.

"Haha. Jin-kun what do you want me to write on your cast?"

"Jin-kun Did it hurt a lot?"

"Jin-kun I wanna sign it first!"

"Haha. There's enough room on the cast for all you girls." Jin laughed loudly and patted a girl's head.

" -.-" Just because he has a cast he thinks he's the most heroic person in the world." I said.

"Tell me about it." Yuri drawled as we inched away from them. "Come on ... school's gonna start soon."

I stared lazily at the girls …

"I don't like them." I whined.

homeroom

"Gome-chan !!" Sango waved.

"Ah .. hi Sango-chan." I smiled cheekily. "What's going on?"

"Ano … Did anything happen??" Sango asked. "Miroku told me that Inuyasha seems more pissed off than usual …."

"I don't care." I turned around and sat correctly on my chair.

'Stupid Inuyasha. He's gone too far this time for me to forgive.'

lunch

"HAHA!!" Jin laughed and scratched his head. "Go ahead and write whatever you want."

"Okay!!"

I tossed out my lunch and plopped down on my back on the cleanest plot of grass I could find.

:SIGHH: :PLOP:

'Who's blocking out my sun !!'

"Hey-." I started.

Sesshoumaru turned and glared.

"Oh … -.-;; It's you." I turned around and lied down lazily.

"How is he?" he asked.

"Do you really have to ask?" -.-"

:turn and stare at Jin surrounded by flocking girls:

"Ah." Sesshoumaru started. "Are you .. jealous?" He gave me a pressing look; daring me to say yes.

I grabbed my stomach from laughing. "Are you CRAZY?? I like Jin and all … but not that way."

"Ah…" Sesshoumaru started. "Good." And with that, he got up and left.

I sat up. 'What do you mean by that? Hm … whatever.' I plopped myself back down and closed my eyes … and soon I was dead asleep.

:Poke: :Poke:

'Huh??' I lazily sat up and rubbed my eyes. "What??"

"Sign my cast." Jin smiled as he carefully sat down next to me.

"Err … is there even room on that stupid thing for me to write on??"

"Sure there is!!" Jin put out his leg and pointed to a big pink heart among thousands of scribbles.

"In that thing??"

o.O

:nod:

"No way." I turned on my side.

"Aww … "Jin started. "Please!!"

"No."

-.-;;

"Ahh … my head hurts. I think I'm going to die !!"

" -.-;; You think that's gonna work on me??" I said and punched his stomach.

"Ugh." He grunted and turned a bit pale.

" o.o!! Are you okay ?? Did I hit something?!" I lifted his shirt.

"What the heck are you doing?!" he grabbed his shirt and pulled it down.

O.O!! this stomach as all bruised up.

" T-T … I'll sign it !!" I grabbed a pen (out of nowhere) and rested it on his cast. "I don't know what to write."

"Hmm …" Jin said. "I'll tell you."

"Okay." I got my hand ready to write.

"Jin," he started.

"Uh-huh."

"Get better soon!!" he said in a very bad imitation of my voice.

" -.-" Uh huh."

"I'm sorry I punched your stomach ."

"I AM!! T-T"

"From … your koibito 4ever, Kagome." Jin finished.

" -.-;; Yo." I bonked him on the head.

"Worth a shot." Jin shrugged.

"Whatever." I finished it off with a 'Kagome' and I got up and walked to my next class. 'Might as well be early.'

end school

"Kagome-chan!!" Sango called. I turned around and saw her rushing down the hall to me.

"What is it??" I slowed down my pace so that she could catch up.

"Ano … are you busy today? I was wondering if we could go somewhere." Sango asked.

"Ah … Sorry Sango-chan." I answered. "I have martial arts classes today."

"Ah … I see." Sango nodded. "It's okay. We can go out some other time, ne ??"

"Yeah." I smiled and we walked to our brothers' school.

dojo

I kicked at pebbles as I walked towards my dojo. Inuyasha would be there … and Sesshoumaru.

:sigh:

Suddenly, I felt someone push my forehead back.

'What?!' I looked up and saw Sesshoumaru walking beside me.

"Stop being so pathetic." He said without looking at me.

I didn't reply but walked along side him in silence. I was used to it.

"Hn." Sesshoumaru ruffled my hair and let out a sliver of a smile.

doki doki

I blushed and turned my head away.

'Why am I blushing? I don't … like him !! He's a big jerk !!'

I shook my head widely and out of the corner of my eye I saw Sesshoumaru shaking a little and turned to him.

'Is he possessed by a spirit?!'

"Are you okay?" I asked. But when I turned to see him I was at a loss of words. He was laughing and failing miserably to hide it.

O.O … Maybe he is possessed.

Suddenly, he grabbed me and put his face next to my ear.

"You know …" he started. I gulped loudly.

"Y-yea?"

"You're … cute when you blush."

DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI

I felt my heart going crazy.

"Ah … Are you high??" I blurted and blushed as he pulled away.

'Way to go Kagome!!' I said to myself. 'You just ruined the first real moment you've ever had in your life.'

I saw him shaking again.

'DON'T HURT ME !!'

"Hahaha." Sesshoumaru let out hearty laughter.

"Hm." I smiled and laughed along with him.

And for the first time in a while, I felt at peace.

AN : GAH I hope that wasn't too short … o.o … I'll try to update soon guys. Sorry for keeping you guys waiting. I'll definitely post this Saturday. Thanks for being patient and reading my dying fic -.-;; REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW
