Recap of last chapter:
"Cant you see that she likes or even love you Inuyasha?" Continued Sango.
"What are you saying? That she solves me?" Inuyasha asked.
"Duh? Did you hear what I just said? Yeah, she loves you!" Sango said, already getting pissed.
"Sango calm down, Kagome's coming." Miroku tried his best to calm down the now-already-pissed- Sango.
"Hi guys!" Kagome greeted like nothing happened. The conversation of the three friends ended, so that Kagome will not know what they are talking about. "Oh hi Inuyasha!" She said in almost a whisper.
"Hi Kags! What's up?" Sango said , trying to brighten the surroundings.
"Nothing really. Oh I think I need to go now, I just stop by to say hi, and sorry for this morning, and by the way, Inuyasha, I'm sorry for slapping you, and Hillary is looking for you." And there she goes, trying to hide her sadness.
"I want the old Kagome back." Sango sadly said.
"What do you mean Sango? She's still the old Kagome, the Kagome we knew." Inuyasha pretended like nothing had happened.
"No Inuyasha, you're wrong. She pretends to smile, when deep down she doesn't. The cheerful eyes she have are now empty. The hyper Kagome before is like a loner now. All because of a one stupid day, and because of her love for you Inuyasha. She's really hurting deep down." Sango said and sighed.
Chapter 3:
United Because Of Each Other's Feelings
Inuyasha cant really get what happened and what Sango said yesterday.
"I want the old Kagome back."
She pretends...
pretends
pretends
because of her love...
love
love
LOVE for you...
He was thinking so hard until a crowd caught his attention.
'Wonder what's new?' He thought and checked why there is a crowd gathering. His eyes widened at what he saw. There stood Kagome at the center of the crowd, wearing a sort skirt (let's say quite shorter than their school uniform) with a sleeveless top, revealing her belly button, with long dangling earrings and with very high heels. 'What the hell?' Inuyasha thought angrily. He didn't think twice, he marched towards the crowd until he reached Kagome. He dragged Kagome out of the crowd to some place where they are alone.
"Hey Inuyasha, calm down, you're hurting me." Inuyasha just stay quiet, ignoring Kagome. He dragged her until they reached the Sakura tree. Kagome really didn't get the man standing in front of her. "Inuyasha, what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me? I should be the one asking you what's wrong with you!" Inuyasha just cant control himself, he doesn't know why, but he's really mad about what's Kagome doing with her own self. He just don't want other guys staring at her in a seductive way.
"Nothing's wrong with me. Why did you just dragged me all..." Kagome had no time to finish her sentence when Inuyasha's hand mad contact with Kagome's cheek, he slapped her this time. She looked at him with tears running down from her eyes, showing hurt and sorrow. Blood dripping due to a small cut by Inuyasha's claws. He too didn't know what overcome him, he just don't want Kagome to be this way.
"Kagome...I'm..."
"No need to be sorry, I think I deserve that." Kagome said, flashing a small smile on her face, tears still running down from her eyes. She turn her back to him, just like the last time. She doesn't want to face him right now. She didn't look back, she just continued running and running until she was out of sight.
"What did I just do?" Inuyasha asked himself, looking down at the hand that he used to slapped Kagome. "Why did she smile?"
'Why did I just slapped her? What is this feeling? Am I starting to fall for Kagome?' Inuyasha thought.
Kagome dried her eyes, putting on a fake smile. She entered her class and saw Inuyasha laughing together with Hillary.
'Okay Kagome, act like nothing happened.' She said to herself. She walked to her deck, still wearing that fake smile of hers.
"Hey Kagome, wanna go out with me this Saturday?" A classmate of hers asked her.
"Sure, where..." Their conversation was cut off when they heared the hanyou growled.
"No, she's not free. Go look for someone else." Inuyasha half said, half shouted. The boy walked away knowing that he cant defeat the hanyou. Inuyasha on the other hand was glaring daggers on the boy. Kagome sighed and brought her attention on the board. Inuyasha was about to yell at Kagome, but sadly, the teacher went in.
The dismissal bell rung and its time to go home. Well, Miroku and Sango didn't have enough time to talk to Kagome during lunch because they had to finish something very important. They never told Kagome about what happened yesterday, about the discussion with Inuyasha. Inuyasha, still being the cold hearted, pretends like nothing happened, and that he had heard nothing. All that was on his mind was Hillary, and their date this Saturday. He was walking along the sidewalk daydreaming, when he bumped into somebody.
"I'm sorry." Came a feminine voice.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha recognize the girl right away. Kagome, noticing the guy that bumped her, right away, turned around and walked away. She just met the guy she doesn't want to see, or doesn't want to see anymore.
"Wait...Kagome...wait...Im sorry damn it." Kagome who was walking away stopped.
"You dont have to be sorry Inuyasha, its my fault that I have these damn feelings for you." She said never facing Inuyasha. There she goes again, running away from the real situation, not wanting to face the truth. Now, he doesnt want to waste his time listening to her stupid excuses, he want some explanation, he want to know the truth from her.
"No, I'm not letting you go now Kagome, I want to know the truth." Inuyasha exclaimed, grabbing Kagome's wrist.
"What do you want to know Inuyasha?" Her voice is cold, filled with hatred, sadness and heartbreak. She doesn't even care to turn around and face him, doesn't even want to look at him straight in the eye.
"Why are you acting so strange Kagome? I don't want you to lie to me now, you know you're not a good liar. I can smell it."
"What if I tell you that I was acting strange because I'm jealous of Hillary? Are you going to believe me? What if I tell you that I was acting strange because I loved you? Will you believe me? Answer me Inuyasha! Will you believe me?"
"I…I.. don't know." Inuyasha was shocked of the sudden change of mood of Kagome.
"See? It's no use telling you… now that you've got want you wanted, I'm going to leave, goodbye." Inuyasha, still holding her wrist, turned her around to face him and he KISS HER! Kagome's eyes widen because of Inuyasha's actions. He is now her first kiss.
'What the hell am I doing?' Inuyasha scolded himself. 'Hm, but her lips are so soft and warm.'
He rested his arms around her petite waist, while Kagome, who doesn't know what overcome her, closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck. When he was about to deepen the kiss, Kagome snapped back to reality. She then let go as chocolate brown orbs met golden ones. They just stood there, staring at each other. Tears run down from her eyes while she slapped him across the face, letting him know how hurt she was because of what he have done.
"Why… why did you do that when you don't even love me?" Finding herself that Inuyasha isn't going to give any response, she ran away as fast and as far as she can.
Staring at her retreating back, Inuyasha thought loudly, "What did I do now?"
When she reached her house, she right away went to her room and jumped into her bed, crying so hard, burrying her face in her pillow.
"Why… why… he didn't even love me…." She cried even harder, reminiscing about what just happened.
Inuyasha came home and locked himself into his room.
'I just have the feeling to kiss her. What is this feeling? Am I hurting her? But her soft, warm lips…' He thought, burrying his face in his pillow. A picture of Kagome flashed in his mind. A pair of brown eyes that showed sadness and hurtfulness.
"What the hell is happening to me?" He half screamed, half said…
Day of Inuyasha and Hillary's date (Saturday)
Ever since that incident happened between Inuyasha and Kagome, they never talk to each other, they just ignore each other's existence. Alright, today is the day of Inuyasha and Hillary's date. Lets just say that Inuyasha is not anymore that exited like before. He cant get and cant forget what happened yesterday with Kagome. Inuyasha and Hillary are suppose to meet at the mall at three in the afternoon. It's already two in the afternoon, one more hour to go. Inuyasha was too lazy to prepare himself, but he cant do anything now, he was the one who asked her, so this is what he's suppose to get.
Just as what they have planned, Inuyasha and Hillary met at the mall at exactly three in the afternoon. Hillary was actually having fun, while Inuyasha on the other hand was daydreaming.
It was almost seven in the evening and Hillary need to go home, for some reason. Inuyasha was feeling somewhat kind of happy inside him.
'At least no more annoying, "Inuyasha can we go here and there?"' Those are the exact words that are coming from Hillary's mouth.
"Inuyasha, I really need to go home now. Someone is waiting for me. We can do this any other time." Hillary said. Inuyasha was just silent. He doesn't want to say anything now. Before he knew it, Hillary's lips landed onto his own. She was about to deepen it when he pushed her urgently.
"Not here Hillary, someone might see us."
"Mm… Inuyasha.." Hillary pouted.
'She cant pout, and her lips are not like Kagome's …soft, sweet…what the hell? Why am I fucking thinking about Kagome?' Inuyasha scolded himself.
"Oh well, bye Inuyasha! See you at school." She waved at him and walked away.
Inuyasha was walking all the way to his mansion, he decided not to take the car because he wanted to think, yeah think… He passed by the street that is so quiet and peaceful, just like what he wanted. He peacefully walked alone, daydreaming, but he was snapped back to reality when he heard something in the dark corner of a street. He went to check it out and hi blood boiled, and clenched his fist of what he saw.
Earlier that day
Kagome haven't eaten during the last few days, since the day Inuyasha kissed her. She is still suffering inside, still thinking about what happened but shed no more tears. Her eyes are a little puffy and red still. Getting bored of staying inside her room all day, she decided to take a walk outside, to think about some things and to figure out her true feelings. She got out of her bed and took a quick shower and change into her clothes. She wore a black mini skirt, and a sleeveless baby blue top, showing some part of her stomach. Her skirt is only until mid thigh, perfectly covering what's supposed to be covered. She let her hair go and slid on some black high heels sandals. Looking herself at a full length mirror, she decided that she looked perfectly enough. She went downstairs and went outside locking the door. She joyfully walked and walked, completely forgetting about what she's suppose to think of, the kiss. She came across a peaceful and quiet place in which she thought that people had gone home early since it's already seven in the evening(?). She walked alone admiring the quietness, just when two hands grabbed her. One covered her mouth, the other on her waist. She tried screaming but it didn't worked (obviously). The guy who grabbed her just laughed at her.
"What a beauty. Care to entertain me with that body of yours?" Kagome's eyes widened with fear. She still keep struggling to let go, but it didn't work. The guy grabbed her in the dark corner of the street and turned her around, so now, Kagome is facing the guy. He smirked as he forcefully kissed her. Showing no interest, she bit the guy's bottom lip. The guy backed away and slapped her hard.
"Damn you slutty bitch, don't get me mad if you don't want to die so early." She saw the gun the guy was holding and tears run down from her eyes. He kissed her forcefully again, this time, not showing anything to make the guy mad, she kissed back, tears still running down from her eyes. The guy stopped and smiled evilly.
"Good girl…" He said. He then held her wrists in one hand and tangled her legs with his. He began kissing her again, his free hand roaming around her body, then rubbing her bare thigh. More tears are now running down from her eyes. He slowly took off Kagome's top and began kissing her down her neck, her shoulders and the skin above her breasts. He then took off Kagome's skirt, revealing her in her undergarments only. He laughed evilly, taking her bra off. He touched her right breast and gave it a tight squeeze, she was about to scream when he again kissed her forcefully, now she struggled even harder, making some noises. The guy backed away, slapping her harder this time and punched her stomach. The guy stopped at what he was doing when they heard a growl from someone. Kagome and the guy turned around to find a very pissed off Inuyasha standing there, his fists clenched so hard.
"Innu… "sobs"…yasha?"
Inuyasha's point of view
What the hell? I just saw this god damn anonymous guy, took off Kagome's bra, forcefully kissed her, punched her and slapped her hard.
'How dare he hurt and touch MY Kagome? This stupid jerk has the guts to do that?'
I can now feel my blood boiling inside me.
Normal point of view
The guy, noticing Inuyasha, picked up his gun and right away pointed it at Kagome.
"Come near me and she dies." the guy said. Kagome is trying to cover herself with her own arms for she cant reach her clothes because of the gun being pointed at her. Inuyasha on the other hand cant bare to see Kagome suffering. Because of his quickness, Inuyasha punched the guy straight in the face, the guy not even noticing it. He then turned to Kagome and gave her his jacket. Kagome mumbled a "thank you" before reaching out for her own clothes.
"Thank you again Inuyasha, I need to go home now." Kagome was about to turn back when Inuyasha turned her around and kiss her for the second time.
'Not again, what is this feeling?' he thought, scolding himself. Much to Inuyasha's surprise, Kagome kissed him back while her arms made it's way around his neck while his was around her waist. Inuyasha stopped kissing her on the lips and made his way to her neck. She moved her head to give him more access.
'Oh god, this is the second time. Oh how I love him so much.' That was when she was brought back to reality. 'What? This is not suppose to be happening.' She pushed him and looked into his eyes. "You should not be doing this. you're dating Hillary." She screamed at him.
"I..I..I.." He couldn't say anything.
"I'm going now. Bye." Kagome said as she walked away. He was left there, thinking, realizing his feelings.
'Do I… do I… do I love Kagome? When she's in trouble, I always feel my blood boiling. That smile of hers, always makes me calm. Could it be that I love Kagome but was blinded by my pride and popularity?' He thought, asking himself.
Inuyasha started walking and walking. When he stopped, he found himself standing in front of a door, not just any ordinary door, but Kagome's door. While he was walking he decided to tell her about how he feels.
'It's now or never Inuyasha.' He told himself. He knocked three times and waited for the door to open. When it did open, a weak Kagome showed up. Inuyasha can smell salty water, it means that she was crying. Her hair was a mess and her eyes were a bit puffy and red.
"Inuyasha?" she gasped, not expecting him. "What are you doing here?"
"Kagome, we need to talk, and now."
"Come inside." She fixed her hair as they settled down. "What do you want to talk about?" Inuyasha stood up from where he was sitting and hugged Kagome tightly.
"Kagome, I'm really sorry. I never realized what I feel for you, not until what happened now."
"What are you saying Inuyasha, you're dating Hillary."
"I don't give a fuck about that, I love you Kagome, I'm sorry about what I did in the past, I hope you forgive me."
"What…you…me…but what about Hillary?"
"I told you before, I don't give a fuck."
"Oh Inuyasha, you don't know how much I love you all this time." Kagome said as tears are running down her face. He used his thumb to caress her cheek.
"Does this mean I'm forgiven?"
"I never hate you Inuyasha."
" So were on?"
"If that's what you call it, then yes!"
Inuysha's lips touched hers again. This kiss is much sweeter and warmer than the previous ones, because now, they are together. They both broke the kiss, gaining for air.
"Where is your family?" Inuyasha asked, noticing the silence in the house.
"I live alone. My family died in an accident." Kagome said, sadness found in her voice.
"Okay, no problem, you're living with me. I just cant let you stay inside a big house alone. Someone might kidnap or hurt you. Pack up your things, we're living."
"Awe… my baby cares for me, I'm flattered."
"Of course, this baby of yours love you so much, Sweetie."
"Nice nick name."
"Thought you like it."
-
Well, it kind of take such a long time…
But it's worth it…
Hope you enjoy it….
