From Hatred To Love
Chapter 33- Kagome... jealous?
Last Chapter
" What are you doing touching my woman!"
Kagome sighed and looked back at the wolf youkai. Another Inuyasha and Kouga fight was going to happen with her stuck in the middle again. She covered her eyes with her hands when she felt Inuyasha move away from her.
' Great!' Kagome thought. ' Just great.'
" What in the hell do you mean by ' your woman'? She's mine!" Inuyasha yelled.
" I'll show you dog turd! I'll make sure that you don't touch her ever again!" Kouga said and began to run towards Inuyasha.
Kouga was coming at full speed towards Inuyasha. His face suddenly an odd shade of red and his growling loud and threatening. Inuyasha curled both hands into fists and prepared hims;if to take the wolf youkai out but was surprised when Kagome ran right in front of him.
Kouga stopped quickly when he saw the young miko standing in front of in rival. He walked up slowly to the girl and looked at the hanyou behind her angrily.
" Kagome, what are you doing? I was going to take him out," he said softly. Kagome smiled at him and but managed to glance around the cafeteria. Almost everyone was gathered around their table watching the whole commotion.
" I really don't think that it's such a good idea to start a fight with Inuyasha right now."
" Why not!" both Inuyasha and Kouga asked at the same time. Kagome turned around to face the hanyou giving him a nasty glare that told him to shut up and he obeyed.
Kagome faced Kouga with a sweet smile on her face. She took a step closer to him until he could feel her breath on his face.
" Well, I don't think you want to get suspended, and also the principal has been in a really bad mood lately, and I don't think you want to piss him off even more."
Inuyasha growled when he noticed the closeness between Kagome and Kouga. The wolf youkai heard his enemy and smirked before grabbing both of Kagome's hands in his and staring deeply into her eyes. Kagome smiled nervously and glanced back at Inuyasha who was glaring at them.
" Uh..." she began, unable to think of anything to say to the wolf demon.
" You're right Kagome, I have such a smart woman. I'll kick dog turd's ass another time and I'll make sure that you're there to see it. Kagome, why don't you ditch the hanyou and come with me, I've been waiting very patiently for you to come to me," Kouga said and smiled at the miko.
" Kouga, you see I-"
That's when Inuyasha barged in slapping Kouga's hand's away form Kagome's. He pushed Kagome behind him and gave Kouga a death glare.
" She ain't leaving me for you, let me just tell you that!" Inuyasha snapped.
" Why would she want you! What do you have to offer her? I bet that you're so weak. I doubt that you can even take me!"
" Oh yeah! I'll prove you wrong!" Inuyasha yelled and rose his clawed hands to tear Kouga to bits but Kagome's small hand was holding his wrist to prevent him from doing so. He turned around and faced his girlfriend, his golden eyes sending sparks at her.
" Don't even think about it," Kagome said and dug her nails into the hanyou's arm.
" Fine," Inuyasha sighed. " But I don't know why you always stand up for that wimpy wolf anyway."
Kagome let go of Inuyasha's hand and walked back up to Kouga smiling as usual.
" Well Kouga I don't think it's a good time for you to be around Inuyasha, I'll see you later, ok?"
" Yeah, I will and I can't wait," he said before walking away.
Kagome let out a long sigh of relief. The fight was stopped again. She thew herself down on her chair and closed her eyes. Inuyasha sat down next to her and stared at her. Kagome tried to clear her mind of all stressful thoughts while she thought up her next plan to stop the next fight form occurring. She felt eyes on her and opened one eye to stare at her boyfriend.
" What?"
" Why are you always nice to him?" Inuyasha asked in a irritated voice.
Kagome closed both eyes once again.
" I told you before Inuyasha, in spring break, its better to be nice and I don't want you or Kouga to get in trouble," she replied calmly. The hanyou mumbled something under his breath and turned his back to Kagome.
" Maybe you should be Kouga's girlfriend instead of mines and maybe you like him better than me and you really want to leave me for him," Inuyasha grumbled.
Kagome opened her eyes and sat up, quite shocked by Inuyasha's words. She wrapped both of her arms around Inuyasha's waist and leaned closer to him until her mouth was very close to his dog ears.
" I told you before idiot, I love you. You're being so childish, I don't really consider Kouga as a friend but I am nice to him anyway. Please understand Yash that I don't want anything bad to happen to you or to ruin your rep in school."
" Feh," Inuyasha said and grumbled something that Kagome couldn't make out. The miko sighed and moved away from Inuyasha.
Soon after Sango came back dragging an unconscious Miroku behind her. She sat down and rested the monk on a chair. He ended up leaned on her shoulder once again. Sango looked at everyone around the table, they were all very quiet and she could feel the tension in the air.
" So what'd I miss?" Sango asked.
Kagome closed her eyes and slumped down in her chair.
" Nothing."
Inuyasha turned around to face Kagome. He growled and glowered at her.
" Nothing! You call wolf boy trying to pick a fight with me and then flirting with you, nothing!" Inuyasha yelled causing the bangs in front of Kagome's face to fly back. Kagome opened her eyes and faced him angrily.
" I told you before I don't like him!" Kagome practically screamed in Inuyasha face.
" But you didn't stop him from flirting with you, did you!" Inuyasha said.
" Well...no but I-"
" You can't even answer the question! Maybe all this talk about you loving me means absolutely nothing to you! Maybe you're with me to gain attention or you're in it for the money!"
" What!" said taken back. " Stop acting like a child will you! I'll tell you one last time I DON'T LIKE HIM! I love you, stupid!"
" Then why do you let him talk to you so familiar and you let him hold you hand!" Inuyasha asked.
" Because... I don't want to hurt his feelings!"
" But you don't seem to mind hurting mine's," Inuyasha shot back at her. Kagome opened her mouth then closed it. For the first time she couldn't respond. She looked very shocked for the remainder of the time. Inuyasha glared at her. When she didn't say anything for a while, he shifted and stood up ready to leave the cafeteria. He couldn't take it anymore.
" Wait," Kagome said softly as her hand shot up to grab his am. He looked down at her. She looked so confused, like she wanted to cry.
" What?"
" I didn't know that you felt that way," Kagome began and looked down. " I don't want to hurt you, I really don't. I'm sorry, ok? But you have to trust me. I won't ever do anything with Kouga so you don't have to be jealous."
Inuyasha looked away briefly before taking his seat right next to Kagome.
" What ever you say wench," Inuyasha said and hugged her.
Kikyo looked at the couple form a distance. ' Damn it... why do they have to be so close. There's no way that I could get them to drift apart if he keeps on forgiving her!'
The miko flipped her long, jet black hair and rested on hand on her cheek before resting her elbow on the table. These were the times that she wished she had someone to help her her think things out.
" If only that girl, Dawn hadn't left me I would have had..." Kikyo let her sentence trail off when she noticed what she was admitting to herself: she needed Dawn's help badly. She scrunched up her face and shook her head.
" What am I saying, I don't need her help, I was the leader." She stared into space and gave once last glance at the happy couple sitting far away from her.
" I just hope my plan works"
After lunch Inuyasha was heading off to his next class, Literature. Again Liko was in the same class as him, he wondered if she was in any other of his classes. The girl was walking right behind him with her books clutched firmly in her hands.
" Um... Inuyasha?" the girl said softly. The hanyou turned around to face the girl with his usual grumpy look.
" What?" he asked.
" Well I was wondering... is Kagome your.. girlfriend... what I meant to ask was are you dating or..."
" Yeah, I'm dating her. Why do you want to know my business anyways?" Inuyasha asked and began walking again with Liko following him. The girl blushed a light shade of pink.
" I'm sorry I was just wondering."
Inuyasha grunted in response. Liko avoided looking at the hanyou. The silence lasted for long until they arrived at their room and Liko sat down next to Inuyasha glancing around.
" Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha jumped up and looked over at the girl sitting beside him, she was blushing again.
" Yeah?" he asked.
" Well in math I didn't really get anything that the teach was saying so I was wondering... maybe... if you can... help me with it, please?"
The hanyou gave a long sigh, even though he didn't pay attention he was very good at math. He aced it every time but he had to admit to himself that he wasn't very interested in the subject. He ran his hands through his hair and slumped down in his chair.
" Yeah I'll help you."
" Thanks you so so much!" Liko said and smiled at Inuyasha for the first time. " Is it ok if we meet after school?"
" Yeah, yeah whatever you want."
Inuyasha turned to look at the girl. She had been staring at him now but jerked her head away when he saw her with a slight blush on her cheeks.
" Thank you!" she mumbled once again but didn't get anything else in because their Literature teacher had walked in the classroom.
Kagome inhaled the fresh air as soon as she walked out of that stuffy prison that they called school. The end of a school day felt so good. ' I think I'll go over by Inuyasha, just to make sure he does his homework!' Kagome thought and giggled.
She walked towards the very familiar red convertible that was parked rather badly. ' Inuyasha and his driving!' Kagome snorted and leaned against the vehicle. She knew for sure it was Inuyasha coming when she heard girls giggling and squealing.
" Here he comes," Kagome said to herself and smiled cheerfully. " Hey...Inu.."
Kagome's sentence stopped almost immediately when she saw Liko walking beside Inuyasha but her smile still remained on her face.
" Kagome?" Inuyasha said and walked up to her. He looked rather surprised. Kagome didn't make a move to go to him and continued to lean against the car casually.
" Hi!" Kagome said cheerfully and waved at the two. " Hey Liko!"
" Hi," Liko said dully. Kagome stood up strait and held on to her bag and then slung it over her shoulder. She felt rather uncomfortable with the two just looking at her, waiting for her to say something.
" So where are you two headed off to?" Kagome asked.
" To the coffee shop," Liko said almost immediately.
" Oh," Kagome said and looked at Inuyasha. He averted his eyes away from her. " To hang out?"
" No! Not like that! I'm helping her with something in math!" Inuyasha replied as if he had been accused of doing something wrong. Kagome nodded and then Inuyasha felt guilty, but he didn't know what for. " Do you want to come?"
" Um... no I don't think so," she said and smiled at the two. " I'll just be a distraction. It's good that Inuyasha is helping someone with something at last."
Kagome walked up to Inuyasha and gave him a peck on the cheek before saying goodbye. Kagome didn't get very far when Inuyasha grabbed her wrist and spun her around.
" Do you want a ride?" he asked. He sounded more like he was begging. Kagome touched that side of his face and shook her head.
" Nah... I'll walk home with Sango and Miroku."
" Ok," Inuyasha said softly and leaned down and kissed her. The kiss didn't last long. Kagome was the one who pulled away reminding Inuyasha that he had other stuff to do than to make out with her whole afternoon.
" Bye Liko and Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled and waved when she was a good distance away from them. Inuyasha saw her catch up with Miroku and Sango and then he tured away to look at Liko. She was shifting around a lot.
" Let's go," he said and slid into the driver's seat. Liko sat down right beside him.
" Your car is amazing," she gasped.
" Thanks," he said and the car took off.
" Hm...ok this is weird," Sango said at last.
" What do you mean?" Kagome asked as she looked over at the couple holding hands beside her. Sango whipped her head around and looked at Kagome.
" You never walk home with us anymore," Sango pointed out. " Why now?"
Kagome paused and looked up to the sky as if she were thinking about something carefully.
" Because I want to," Kagome said and smiled at the two.
" I thought I saw Liko walking outside with Inuyasha," Miroku said.
" Yeah he was," Kagome said flatly. " He's helping Liko with math."
Sango tilted her head to the side and looked over at Miroku.
" So that's why you didn't go with them," Sango said wide eyed. " I see it now."
" What?"
" You jealous Kagome. You're mad because Inuyasha is spending a lot of time with this girl and not you."
Kagome stopped dead in her tracks and glared at Sango, her hands balled into fists but her eyes were wide in shock.
" I'm not! Inuyasha has to help her that's all and I'm ok with that!" Kagome said, her voice rose with reach word. Sango and Miroku looked taken back.
" Why are you yelling at us?" Miroku asked calmly. " We didn't say anything."
Kagome look a deep breath and began walking once again this time she was ahead of the group.
" Well don't be mad!" Sango said rather loudly.
" I'm not! I'm cheerfull! Can't you see my face, I'm smiling!" Kagome said and turned around and gave Sango and Miroku the most scariest smile that they had ever seen.
" Um... ok then... but I think that you should... damn it!" Sango stopped suddenly. " Fucking pervert! I'm gonna beat the shit out of you for doing that!"
" Um... oh look a pet store..I always wanted a dog I think I'll go check it out!" Miroku said quickly and dashed away. Sango ran after him.
" Come back here! You're gonna pay for that!"
Kagome watched the two run away with amusement but although she was smiling, what Sango and Miroku had said bothered her. Maybe she was a bit jealous of Liko. Maybe she did feel like Inuyasha was being stolen away from her and maybe she just didn't want Liko spending all this time with Inuyasha. There were too many maybes and Kagome didn't know how to think but a small part of her was telling her that Liko was going to be around Inuyasha more often.
