Kagome's POV
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!! BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!! The loud sound reached my ears and I jumped out of bed immediately because of the shock. That darn buzzard could have been much gentler. I had decided to give the buzzard a try since the songs were kind of getting annoying, but I was going to change that sound tonight, even if it killed me. I gave out a loud sigh and slowly walked to the bathroom with my back slumped. I did my morning rituals, glad that I was up early for once. I didn't want Souta to dump water on me again like the other day. Too bad I was to busy to plot revenge for that. I walked down the stairs and ate some breakfast. Wow, I should get up early more often, my mom wasn't even up and I wasn't going to be late. Soon, I heard footsteps above me, telling me that both my brother and mom were up. I waited them to come down before I left. I had a lot of time to spare. After waiting for fifteen minutes, two pairs of feet were visible climbing down the steps. I picked my backpack up and went to the front door. The stairs were located near the front door, so saying good-bye to them would be on the way out.
"Wow, you're certainly early this morning Kagome." My mom's voice was packed with surprise.
"Yeah, well, I better get going! Bye mom! Bye Souta!" I walked towards the front gate and opened it. The chilly winter morning air greeted me. I walked to the front gate and stepped out in the sidewalk, I made my way towards the train station.
Inuyasha's POV
I was waiting for the train to arrive when a familiar voice yelled to me.
"Inuyasha!" I looked behind and Kagome was there, making her way towards me through the huge crowd. She finally made and gave me one of her grins. My heartbeat suddenly rose, but I ignored it and acted cool. I gave her one of my smiles. What was happening to me??? I rarely smiled, not even in front of my mother. Now, suddenly, I was handing them out like presents at Christmas. But before I thought more about it, the train was heard approaching and came to an abrupt stop in front of us. The both of us got on, for if we didn't we would surely be caught in a stampede of people. The two of us walked towards "our" compartment, where we first met. This was where we sat ever since. Kagome started talking and we soon had a conversation that would last us until the ride ended.
Kouga's POV
I was about to shout to Kagome when I first saw her enter the station, but she was headed towards the large crowd gathering in front of the train port. I followed her, wanting to sit next to her on the train and talk, just like the good old days…before Inuyasha came. These days, she wasn't hanging out with me anymore, she was seen with him. But I wasn't expecting the sight in front of me when I finally reached the front of the crowd. Kagome and Inuyasha were smiling at each other. It was something in their gaze that caused my heart to twist painfully, love. They were in love with each other and were oblivious to it. My fists were clenched tightly, it wasn't fair. I was the one who had known Kagome the longest and had always been there for her. And all this time, I thought she loved me back. I was about to make confess to her on that fateful day, but he came into the picture. He had just shown up and there they were, happily in love. But I wasn't going to give her up without a fight. The train's loud arrival startled me out of my thoughts. I followed them in and they led me to the very back compartment. They took a seat, and I took a seat behind them. I then started eavesdropping on their conversation. Inuyasha gave her a smirk and asked her a question that made my blood boil.
"So…… did you enjoy the trip to the lake yesterday?" I saw Kagome give him one of her prettiest smiles.
"Of course! Maybe we can go again? But not on a school day though because my mom almost got mad at me yesterday." I found myself growling but kept it under control. Inuyasha was a dog demon and could hear the faintest sounds and smell me, but my strong concealment charm had hidden my wolf demon scent. Right now, I was seeing red; I was the only one that ever received those kinds of smiles from Kagome. And what about this trip?? So that was where she was yesterday. To think that I thought she was sick, but no, she was spending time with that….that MUTT! This was then the conversation moved on to more less important things. I have had enough of this, Kagome was mine. So I stood up and walked away to the next compartment. I didn't want Kagome to know that I had eavesdropped. And I wasn't going to pick with that half breed……yet.
Kagome's POV
I was really disappointed that the train had reached the station near the school. I was so close on getting to know my favorite hanyou….WAIT!! Where did my come from??? I knew that I was in love, but no need to get possessive...not yet anyways, I didn't know about his feelings. Though, he does like me, I just don't know if he likes me likes me. I sighed; this conversation with my head was going no where. I followed Inuyasha out of the station and we walked to the school. Oddly, my hand reached for his hand, like it was a natural reaction. To my relief, he didn't even hint of letting go, he just gripped my hand tightly and gave it a squeeze. I felt my mood soar up; this was going to be a great day. But as soon as it went up, it plummeted down like a penny dropped from the empire state building.
"Kagome!! You have some explaining to do about yesterday!!" the voices of Sango and Ayame filled the air, a bit too high and sweet. My back went rigid and my mind was filled with fear, those two girls could do anything…literally when they set their mind to it.
"Hehe." I laughed nervously. "How about this weekend during a sleepover!" I watch their maniacal faces slowly shift to instant pleasure, knowing that they got their way. Last time, I had to explain everything that had happened the day when I met Inuyasha to them. It had taken at least four hours total with all their questions. Boy, it was going to be a loooooong weekend.
"Inu-chan!! How are you today??!!!" I turned to my right revealing none other than Kikyo.
It was really weird, after Inuyasha had been here; she's been hanging around us, well hanging around Inuyasha who was hanging out with us. And her usual stoic expression was kind of gone, she was actually nicer now. More like a school girl than an adult trapped in a teen body. She said hi to me more often and even engaged me in some conversations. We actually became sort of friends. Not really close ones but still friends. She turned to me and started to greet me when she looked down to our hands. They were linked, and jealousy was clearly in her eyes. We suddenly blushed and let go.
My philosophy, ONLY COUPLES hold hands was known throughout the whole school. Some guy in the first grade held my hand and I made it a point to everyone I knew that ONLY COUPLES hold hands. Let's just say that Kikyo found out that we were more than just good friends that moment on.
I turned around and to make matters worse, there was Kouga behind us, staring darkly at Inuyasha. Kouga walked up to me and gave me a smile and greeted me.
"Hi Kouga!! Where were you on the train? We were on, but I couldn't see you anywhere!" I asked sweetly, trying to clear up the tension in the air. He gave me a smile but I looked at his eyes and his smile didn't quite reach it.
"Oh, that, I was late. I had to help my parents with something." I nodded understanding. The silence was thick in the air. Anything was welcome to make the air less dense. Even Miroku's lechery was welcomed… where was the guy when you needed him?? Then the bell rang and everyone headed towards the door. I let out a huge breath. Saved by the bell.
I sighed out another sigh that morning. Was it me or was I sighing a lot more often? I was piled with homework since I had ditched yesterday. But I decided it was worth it, spending a day with Inuyasha was worth six full days of homework. (A/N Wouldn't you agree?? *swoons* ^_^) this hour was my off hour and I headed towards the library to start on my homework. Hopefully, I could lighten my load for tonight. I had to study too, the semester's end was nearing and finals were coming. (A/N as you can tell from my age, I am not in high school yet, so forgive me if this kind of stuff is incorrect! And I want this to happen so I have to make it happen now, in the middle of the year... you'll see what I am talking about when you read on) When I reached the library, I saw Inuyasha already sitting at a table reading a thick book. I plopped myself in a chair next to him and started taking my books out.
"Excuse me, but will you two sign up for your next after school activities? It will be less of a rush if we ask individual people what they want to participate in." a girl with wavy black hair asked them.
"Sure!" I looked over the list, hmmm. Football… definite nope…Latin club…nope can't speak the language…radio club...YES!!! Radio club was a club that hosted the school's radio station. The club members were DJ's in the station. It was a really popular club and there were luckily two spots left. Who else was going to be there? I scanned that list, I became soooo excited!! All of my closest friends were there… even Kikyo! I signed my name on the sheet and gave it to Inuyasha. I watched him skim the list and he signed his name on the radio club too. This is going to be a blast! We then went back to our homework as the girl headed towards another group of students.
"Inuyasha Tetsusaiga and Kagome Higurashi, please come to the office." The speaker blared out. I groaned, what now? Together, we walked into the office and waited on the chairs the secretary pointed out.
I had to admit that I was really nervous, my palms were sweaty and my fingers were shaking. The principal then walked out and told us that we were to follow him.
"Take a seat you two." He sat on his leather swivel chair. "Why were you not in school yesterday?" We remained silent; it was the best thing to do under these circumstances. "I see, because your absences have not been excused by your parents, you will receive punishment. Your task is to stay after school for the remainder of the week, Thursday and Friday to clean the school grounds. The grounds will be clean and the leaves raked. Do you understand?" We both nodded. "You are excused." We headed back to the library and gathered our books, our electives were next and that would be in a few minutes. I should have known that we were to be punished. But like I said before, it was worth it.
"Kagome, I'm sorry." I heard Inuyasha whisper. He knew that I could hear him. I turned towards him.
"Whatever for? Why are you apologizing?" I was puzzled… why was he apologizing?
"For getting you in trouble of course, it was my fault, I should have told him that so you wouldn't have to be punished." He explained. I was then shocked, it was both of us that ditched so why did he want to take the blame?
"Look Inuyasha, you know that we BOTH ditched. It isn't entirely fault, it is mine as well." I scolded him lightly for believing such ridiculous thoughts. My finger kept jabbing his chest lightly. "Besides," I leaned up closer to his ear, "I wanted to go and the punishment is worth it." Without another thought, I kissed him on the cheek and rushed to my class. I was really thankful that this was the one class that he didn't have with me, otherwise, he would see my tomato red face.
Inuyasha's POV
I was completely shocked, she just kissed me! Her touch made my cheek tingle. My hand reached up and touched the spot. I felt my cheeks flushing too. Her lips were so soft and the kiss was about three seconds, but something made me wish that she could have kissed me a little to the left, on his lips. He smacked his head, he was hanging out with Miroku a little too much there. With that thought, he headed towards his business class.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Well that's it! Awwwww!! They kissed….sort of!! Also, I know that the events so far in the story aren't in sequence as it happened in Winter's Sonata. I am sorry if you don't like it like it, but I like adding twists of my own and such. After all, I don't want my story to be an exact replica of the drama. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it!! This might be the only chapter you'll get in a while because sadly, my spring break is ending. School is starting on Monday!! WAHHHHH I don't want to though!! After this break, I am looking forward to summer break!! But that doesn't mean I will try and update. I will try and update on the weekends from now on. Also, will you guys check out a new story that I just wrote? It's called THE MYSTERIOUS SOLDIER. Don't let the first chapter make you think it's boring; it is the intro after all!!!
