Chapter Eleven
Kagome stared at the ceiling of her bedroom. She silently rolled onto her backside and pulled her pillow over her head. Why am I thinking about this so much? I need to move on. God Damn it Kagome. Get it together. The teenager sighed to herself as she closed her eyes, but she quickly blinked her orbs open. Why do I keep seeing you! Damn. Inuyasha… What are you trying to prove? You got Kikyo… What the hell do you want from me! Why do I keep seeing your face! You're freaking eyes!
"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" The adolescent screamed while pulling her hair.
"Dang sis, you finally lost it huh?" Souta called from the other side of her closed door. "I can hear you all the way to my room. And my music's on too!" He teased.
"SHUT UP Souta! I got a bad headache. Leave me alone.." Kagome shouted through her pillow. Stupid thin walls…
Souta tried turning the knob but found it was locked. "Open the door!"
Kagome sat up and threw her pillow at the door. "NO!" Freaking brat…when is he going to grow up? My head hurts so much. Kagome pulled her sheets and stared at her picture frame. The picture of Kikyo and herself were staring back at her. In the photo, the two almost identical cousins laughed with each other while Kagome had an arm around Kikyo's neck and Kikyo threw up a peace sign. Kagome remembered back to their 7th grade year and started thinking about the changes.
We were so close back then. How did we split apart? Why did she kiss Inuyasha? Did she like him all this time? Even when she knew I did… Why would she… She felt the weight of her bed shift and look up to Souta sitting on the edge staring at her.
"How did you get in…" Souta grinned down at her and held up a plastic card. I need to get a n e w lock.
"What's wrong Kags you're not chasing me yet." Aw he actually cares. How sweet… weird coming from him…
"Headache…" Souta just stared at her weirdly. 'She never got headaches before.' Thanking his instincts to bring her pain-killers, he threw the orange tube on her lap and laid down next to her.
Kagome held the bottle and stared at it for a while. Souta watched her as she examined it and noticed her puffy eyes.
"What the heck? Were you crying?"
Kagome looked up at him and noticed how concerned he was for her. His round cheeks and gray eyes looked at her with concentration. He's just a baby… He wouldn't understand. Kagome smiled at him and rubbed his spiked hair making it go down. "Nothing you can help with twerp."
"I'm 11 and you're size. You sure I can't help you? Want me to pound on someone for you?" Souta grinned while rubbing his knuckles with anticipation.
"Hah! You're still like a foot shorter than me! And look at your arms, like you can touch anyone without meat… besides its not like you'd hurt a girl…" Kagome trailed off.
Souta stared at his sister in chagrin but quickly forgot about it as he sucked in the next information. The wary mist in her eyes told him it was out of his reach. 'But Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku might be able to help. Maybe I'll ask Kikyo. But I haven't seen Inuyasha in a while. Maybe Kags might know what happened to him…'
"Hey Gome, What happened to Inuyasha? I haven't seen him in a while." Kagome stiffened as she heard his name. Damn it now he's back in my head again…
Souta instantly noticed her wariness turn into distress…'Did something happen to Inuyasha? Oh my Kami, she looks like she's about to cry. What happened to him?'
"Nii-chan? Nothing bad happened to him right?"
Kagome glared at her little brother. "Get… Out…." Souta gulped down his spit and ever so gently eased off of her bed… He walked backwards out of her room never leaving eye contact with her… Once he reached the door, he slowly pulled it shut and started running towards the nearest phone.
He speed dialed a number and waited as the tone rang.
Ring…. Ring… Ri—
"Hello, Taisho residence? Can I talk to Inuyasha?"
