Notes: I know a lot of you 'never saw that coming' and etc on the last chapter. Don't worry…Kouga fans…Don't worry. Yesh, I suppose Kouga is the antagonist, My Name Is Yet To Be Found, I mean, I have plans for him to be the antagonist. You didn't hear it from me though. Kikyo-The-Walnut, I don't like Kouga very much either, so that's why he is the antagonist. Everyone, I know that voice wasn't who you expected. But yesh, it was Ayame, not Inuyasha. That twisted things a bit.
Chapter Six: Deadly Crush
Kagome couldn't stand the fact that Inuyasha was infatuated with Kikyo. But she could do nothing about it. And then she saw him…again.
'So Kouga commit suicide feeling guilty when Ayame died falling out a tree in that same clearing. And it was cleared.' Kagome thought sadly. She didn't really feel sad for Kouga though, he scared her quite a bit. And yet Kagome thought that the land owners were hiding something when they ushered her and the others out of the house.
'And now everyone thinks I'm a mental freak. Great, I'm depressed, obsessed, and mental. Things can't go any worse.' Kagome thought bitterly. But things did go worse. Ever since that day Inuyasha had avoided all eye contact with her. He treated her as if she never existed. But he now constantly ditched class just to see Kikyo.
Kagome remembered seeing Kikyo. Actually, she thought she was staring at an older version of herself; they looked so alike. Even Miroku had told her so. And now she waited for this dreaded class to end. Science wasn't very interesting when Kagome could no longer listen to Inuyasha's voice or see his arrogant looking face. He was quite rude, but he was nice to her. Fortunately, he was here today, for the first time in a week. Unfortunately, Kikyo was here too, for she had no class. Inuyasha paid no attention to anything else but her.
Kagome still pondered about that day she was found in the forest, the clearing. She dreamt that Inuyasha had kissed her. That was when she woke up and Inuyasha was holding her. It was funny, almost real, but Inuyasha wasn't the type of person who would cheat on Kikyo. He was infatuated with her. Or was he…? All Kagome knew, was that she was a tad bit jealous. She gave up, but a little part of her didn't.
"Kagome, wake up." The teacher said, and shone a light in Kagome's face. Kagome was so out of the science conversation. It was her turn to read, but she never answered.
"Um, I'm…sorry." Kagome mumbled in embarrassment. She started to read the words out of the book.
After a while, she spaced out again; she was zoned. She decided to continue a day dream she had a few weeks ago. She was stuck in a guys' bathroom with Inuyasha himself… But she just couldn't do it. She couldn't daydream about him when he was flirting with Kikyo. And the way he just left her in the forest when Kikyo arrived…it angered her so much that she felt like her heart was imploding. She set her head down on her desk.
"Feel that?" A voice asked "Your heart…feels funny. Odd, strange, all those weird feelings rushing through."
"Huh?" Kagome turned around to the sound of the voice, at the empty seat behind her. But it was not empty. A guy sat in it. Kagome had seen the guy before. It was Kouga.
"But…you are dead!" Kagome shouted at him. She was scared, very scared indeed.
"Don't believe it. Kagome…ever since I saw you in the clearing…" Kouga started to say; he moved his hand through his hair as if it was hard to say it, but he was as clear as a glass people have walked into. "I want you to…be my bride?"
"Kouga…I…" Kagome stuttered out, and sucked in tears of fear. "You're dead. That's that. Your bride is that girl, Ayame. Find her." Kagome tried to say calmly, as stern as possible. She wanted out of this; she wanted to wake from this dream that was ever so real.
"I will visit you when your sub-conscience lies awake…" Kouga said, winking.
Suddenly the school bell rang and Kagome waked up with a jerk. Her heart was beating quite fast and her palms were sweaty. Something bopped her head. Kagome looked to its direction, but only heard the muffled voices of students in the halls.
"Are you okay, Kagome? You were twitching in your sleep." Sango asked, standing above Kagome in the almost empty classroom. She held her books to her chest.
"Um, yeah…" Kagome replied.
Kagome walked out of the classroom and turned around a corner. She bumped into a couple kissing each other. Talk about PDA. Twisting her face in disgust, she apologized and rushed by. A hand tapped her on the shoulder.
"Kagome, its okay." Inuyasha smiled, waving bye to his girl friend Kikyo. He had an nasty hickey on his neck.
"You know that gives you aneurisms? But its okay, because they aren't painful, you just die." Kagome muttered coldly. To be honest, she was just a little bit jealous.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha replied in a sad awe. Kagome turned around and resumed walking. At that point Inuyasha grabbed her shoulder and turned her around by force. She opened her mouth in shock.
"Don't..." Inuyasha started to say, but he didn't finish. He turned around and left. Kagome stood there in bewilderment. 'What was that about?' She thought, and walked to her next class.
Kagome sat in her desk and squirmed. She started walking to the next desk where the work sheets she had to retrieve were placed, and she picked each one up, slowly. She was out of it. She wanted to know what Inuyasha meant when he spoke to her. She worked on each work sheet slowly, wondering what Inuyasha was trying to say.
"Two minutes before the bell. You all are released early." The teacher said, and she walked out of the classroom with her teacher supplies. Most of the students followed her. Kagome walked out into the court yard of the school. It was a nice place she often visited and waited at for her friends. Unfortunately, sometimes it reeked of smoke because ditching smokers liked to smoke there, and they weren't caught. Kagome sighed.
"Kagome…" A voice said behind her.
It was Inuyasha. He was leaning along the wall, lighter flipping back in forth in flames. His long white hair flowed in the wind, his face turned away.
"I can't believe you…you smoke?" Kagome said, sorrowed and angry.
"No…" Inuyasha replied slowly. He turned his face toward her. "I just collect lighters." Inuyasha pulled out several colorful lighters out of his pocket. He picked an alien designed one and flipped it, showing green flame. "You shouldn't assume, Kagome. Cigs blacken my hair." He put the lighters away. A moment of silence.
"What were you saying earlier?" Kagome said, breaking the silence.
"Don't…don't listen to Kouga." Inuyasha said, and he starting walking away. "Even in your dreams…" Inuyasha added, and turned around one last time. He touched his lips to hers and walked away. Kagome stood there in shock and amazement.
