I do not own Inuyasha. Rumiko Takahashi does.
Before Reading: I'm sorry that I made a few mistakes in the lining of the previous chapter. Kagome starts speaking in this chapter.
Je t'aime.
Chapter Two. It's you.
"There you are...You always seem to be right there waiting, huh?"
"Heh. I guess you could say that."
"I'll always love you. Even if mother has stopped."
"Love won't cut it now that I lost your adoration."
"My adoration? You haven't lost it." She shifted towards him. "You keep reminding me that you're gone forever. I guess I've been too much of an idiot to realize it. "
She looked up. Dad? ... DAD. DAD!
He faded away.
Kagome opened her eyes. It was just a dream. 'Who am I fooling. You've been gone for a while.' She sighed, obviously deep in thought.
- knock knock -
"Kagome"
She walked towards the door. "Yes mum? What is it?" She walked into her room and closed the door behind her. She had a concern look on her face. "Your grandfather is sick. I have to look after him for a while."
"When will you be back?"
"In a few weeks. Promise me you'll be good."
"Of course mum. I'm a grown woman. I can take care of myself." Kagome tried to smile but failed miserable at it.
She laughed. "Don't grow up too fast now. You're my one and only baby girl."
She turned towards the door. Opened it, and left.
Kagome sighed. 'A few weeks to myself...Won't that be a blast.' She smiled contently while closing her eyes.
- 15 minutes later -
"GOSH. Idiot." She smacked herself on the head. "I'm late." She ran downstairs grabbing a paper near by. She was late...again. For one of her "poetry groups."
She opened the door and hurried to her seat. "How kind of you to join us, Ms. Higurashi."
She blushed from embarrassment. "I'm so sorry. It won't happen again. I promise."
"I do hope you live up to that promise. Now, get up here and read your poem to our fellow poets."
Kagome sighed sharply. 'Jesus.' She looked around the room and caught an eye of a man in the back. 'Focus Kagome.'
She began reading her poem aloud.
"Hurt me. I see but I feel blind."
"Wish I could cry a river To show off my pain Of my pain, I am apparent You see me when I hurt But I don't like to show off So I bite the dust and lick the dirt
Made me sad, it did to say The least of all the worries December makes me want to cry Curl up under mistletoe Kiss me as I sweetly lie
Switched lanes and almost Crashed today, killed a squirrel the other Day, but now I'm quiet, calm, quite fine But earlier I was shaking, begging Let me feel the pain this time
Bother me, no more will I Hesitate to bite my tongue When losing never won a loss But made love to forfeit for the bet I guess she bluffed, the flush, the cost."
Moments of silence washed over.
"Wonderful. Ms. Higurashi"
"Thank you sir."
She walked to her seat and sat down. 'Hmm.' She turned around, looking closely at the boy in the back. He looked at her. She quickly turned her head back around. 'He didn't see me. He didn't see me''He saw me. Kagome, you idiot.'
She looked up at her "teacher".
"Okay. Thank you all for sharing your wonderful poems. Hope to see you all next week."
Kagome got up out of her seat and walked towards the exit
"Hey."
"Hmm?" She turned.
He smiled at her.

End of chapter two.
After reading (Author's notes)
Thank you to those who read the previous chapter. The poem is copyrighted by Joanna Smith. One of my favorite poets. I do hope you saw the hints I placed in this chapter. Sorry if the ending was a bit pathetic.
