Everybody's free
DISCLAIMER: wow…this time it's been a while. Hello my happy, loving, forgiving fans! I'm sorry the chapter is late. My Grampa is pretty sick and we're all kinda sad around here. So that caused me to get writers block. I also have dance practice so I get pretty tired. We have the whole summer to learn 8 dances and they taught us 4 in one day. (Sweatdrop) Idiots. Anyway, here's the chapter. Sloppily done since I feel bad for taking so long.
But I'm also getting a computer of my own! YAY! ANYWAY, just to let you know what was coming. So here's another chapter. This should speed things up a little and I plan a cliff hanger but we'll see how far I get. ON TO THE CHAPPEH!
Oh yea, and I got a review that I had to think about for a while…honestly, how many people think Sango is OC? Oops…did I make her too OC? Hope not but what do you guys think?
Oh…and I don't own InuYasha…but I'm working on it…oh how I am working on it…hehehehehehehehehehe….hack…cough cough…hack! ACK…gotta work on that evil laugh concept.
Challenge!
Chapter 11
Kagome had been thinking about what Sango said for a while. In fact, it had become a daily ritual. InuYasha and she would walk until she got to her house. Most of the time, they didn't say anything, but sometimes they would talk. And then most of the time, talk about nothing.
Sango was waiting for Kagome to get whatever the heck she needed out of her locker. Kagome had gotten pretty good at getting her locker open and close now. Exams weren't stressing her out anymore, and she was still keeping in contact with her old friends and getting to know her new friends more and more. So, life was pretty good for her.
Kagome closed her locker and smiled at her friend. Sango gave her a look. "Oh, are we just particularly happy because it's the end of the day?" she asked.
Kagome narrowed her eyes at her. "Stop making fun of me for that." She mumbled, pulling her bag over her shoulders.
Sango snickered at her. "Lighten up, Kagome-chan, I think it's cute."
"There's nothing cute about two people walking in complete silence for ten minutes." Kagome countered. Sango shrugged, still laughing lightly to herself thinking about it. Kagome noticed this and she was about to say something when she felt a foot kick her ankle and sent her tumbling forward landing hard on her elbows.
Sango gasped. "Kagome-chan! Are you alright?" She whipped around to face the person who tripped her friend. She glared. "Kikyou."
Kikyou glared back at her. "My apologies." She said mumbled in monotone. She then turned on her heels, black hair flowing behind her, and strutted (yes, my friends, that girly, preppy I'm-better-than-you walk that we all despise) down the hall.
Kagome blinked and examined her right elbow. "Oh, my sleeve ripped." She said, biting her bottom lip. Her right elbow was red and tiny little drops of blood were sprouting out. Sango took her hands and lifted her up. "Are you alright, Kagome-chan?"
Kagome rubbed her right elbow. "I'll be fine." she looked down at her knee which was scraped up, too. "Jeeze, why would she do that!" she raged, stamping her foot. Sango sighed, shaking her head.
Pulling Kagome outside, both boys were already waiting. "What took ya?" InuYasha grumbled. Miroku looked up, about to ask the same question.
"Kagome had a little run in with something." Sango said slowly.
"Yeah, the floor." Kagome muttered, looking away. Miroku noticed she was holding her right elbow and the sleeve had a rip in it. "Why would you do that to yourself?" he asked.
Sango narrowed her eyes and sweat dropped. "You stupid idiot, she was tripped! It's not like she fell on purpose!"
"Who tripped you?" InuYasha asked. Kagome shrugged, not wanting to start anything. She may dislike Kikyou a whole lot but she also knew how much Kikyou liked him. "Can we just go?" Kagome mumbled again.
Miroku blinked at her. "But who—?" Sango pushed him to start walking. "Move Miroku, or we'll miss our train."
With Miroku protesting and Sango still yelling at him, Kagome walked behind them quietly. InuYasha looked over his shoulder. "Are you okay?"
"Forget about it." Kagome snapped, a little darker than she meant to be. Either way, InuYasha fell silent.
Kagome was sitting at home now, staring at the floor while Souta was putting a bandage on her elbow. "There." He said when he was finished.
"Thanks." Kagome replied back, her voice barely above a whisper.
"What's go you so down, Kagome-nee-chan?" Souta asked as Kagome inspected her bandaged elbow. She didn't answer and Souta knew that he should back off. His friend Shippo was over again and they both ran outside, leaving Kagome alone on the couch.
She made a tiny little sound in the back of her throat and sighed. "Just when I thought things were getting better, too." She grumbled to herself.
The next day went by pretty quickly and Kagome didn't have much to say about anything to anyone. They asked her why she was wearing her spring uniform when it was winter but she ignored them.
The walk home was pretty quiet too. "What's going on with you?" InuYasha asked her. Kagome shrugged and said, "Nothing."
"You're a liar." He said. Kagome looked up at him and frowned. "So I'm not having a good day. What's the big deal?"
"The big deal is you never have a bad day," InuYasha snapped at her.
Kagome blinked at him. "Excuse me for having a bad day!" and she turned her back on him. InuYasha growled at himself and grabbed her shoulder to face her. "Look, I—."
Kagome was looking far out of the corner of her eyes which had little tiny dots of tears in them. She glanced at him briefly then shrugged. "It's nothing. You don't have to pretend you're so worried about it."
A little insulted, InuYasha glared at her. "I'm not pretending."
Kagome softened a little. "It's just that…I'm having problems with someone and I—."
"So punch them in the face, big deal."
Kagome sweat dropped. "I doubt that's a good way to go…" she sighed.
InuYasha shrugged. "Hell of a way to go. By the way, who is it?"
Kagome opened her mouth but closed it. This wouldn't be a good idea… "Just someone. You wouldn't know them." She lied.
"I wouldn't care if I knew them or not. I wouldn't let someone trip me or whatever the hell that's going on between you guys." InuYasha said. "Got it?"
Kagome nodded, feeling a little bit better…and a little scared. Without thinking, she jumped forward to hug him. "Thank you, InuYasha."
InuYasha blinked at her, surprised. Either way, he hugged her back.
I'm in a spinny chair… (spinnnns) Heh heh heh…anyway, there goes one chapter out of the way. Glad I got it done, finally. Now all you really awesome people who have stuck with me through this get to review. Woo hoo! (so do it and make me happy)
By the way: I also have a Fruits Basket story out. So far…not so many reviews but all of them say it's good. And if you like these so much, you'll like that one too.
