Disclaimer: I can't own Inuyasha because I can't. I don't even get slurpies anymore! Well I still have a coke!
A/N: Well here's the chapter you've been waiting for so long! Wow, I actually got reviews! Well this chap isn't so long but long enough.
Of Broken Hearts and Renewal
Chapter 4: Jack Fell Down and Jill Came Tumbling After
"Dammit… shoot! Ouch! Aaargh…stupid wall..."Kagome grumbled and cursed under her breath. "Stupid school and their overprotected ways."
Kagome was trying to hop over the fence that was protecting the "Love boat" ride. Screw that! Right about now Kagome was really pissed off, not only did she forget her purse but her shoes also. How do you think she could have climbed up that hallow? She was wearing high-heeled sandals after all. Well after finding the shortest part of the fence to climb over. Thank Kami it didn't have barbed wires…
Kagome "hopped over" more like crawled slowly over the fence and landed unskillfully on the ground. She walked as stealthily as she could over the spot at tunnel where she left her sandals and purse. It wasn't her fault she could scale a "hallow" skillfully. She realized it was quite chilly and rubbed her shoulders.
What a day Kagome thought. First she had to go to school which really sucks for her, since now it was the biggest obligation of her life, then have those meetings with that guy, then barf, then she forgot her prizes because she was so vengeful, and had to fall in the chilly water.
Oh well, Kagome sighed.
Right now she really did hope Inuyasha was here. Watching over her like he always did. But some how right now she felt protected, which puzzled her greatly. She hadn't felt like that for a long time. She missed it. She saw 'the hallow' and quickly scanned for her shoes and purse. She saw her shoes but now her purse... She scanned the area and suddenly realized where it was. Darn it, she left it up there. She started to climb 'the hallow.' She crouched slowly and started to get a good enough grip to start climbing.
One...two...three.
When she was high enough to stand a bit because her back was aching like the seven hells, she looked around while but didn't see her purse.
Humph… she frowned… where the hell-
"Are you looking for this?" questioned a familiar voice holding what looked like the figure of her purse. Thing was she couldn't see whoever or what the voice was coming from.
She looked over at a figure that was shadowed but she could make out dark black hair and glistening...fangs! Was this a demon? She didn't bring the Shikon shards with her but maybe she should have. He, yes this was a masculine voice and figure, could have buddies and they could be attacking her home right at the moment. I hope Sango and Miroku are there by now and safe.
"I-yes…um…who are you?" Kagome inquired nervously. She couldn't sense any demon in him though. Maybe a sealing spell?
"Who are you?" The figure questioned back.
"No I asked you first!" Kagome said annoyingly, for some reason this 'demon' wasn't as intimidating as he tried to seem.
"You answer me because I don't know you and you asked me who I was! So you obviously don't know me and I don't know you. So who are you?" The figure said more frustrated. His weird logic kind of reminded Kagome of Inuyasha's logic. At each sentence he started to move closer, which made Kagome the at least a bit nervous.
"You know that made no sense," Kagome replied back smirking.
"Yes it makes perfect sense! I don't know you, you don't know me so I want to know you so then I know who you are and then I can tell you who I am!" the guy said using his logic again.
"You know you're an imbecile," Kagome stated.
"I know what you are but what am I?" He said in that kid like saying.
"An imbecile," Kagome retorted.
"I know what you are but what am I?" He said again.
"If you know who I am then I get to know who you are now!" Kagome said using his logic against him.
"Dammit, you're such a quirky bitch," The guy said frustrated. "All I wanted to know is who you are because you were that same girl I've been bumping into all the time, and you were the one who nearly threw up on me!" The guy stepped into the moonlight, a good plain view of who this guy was.
What th- " Inuyasha!" Kagome gaped/gasped.
"Huh?" One moment the guy looked ready to pull the roots of his head and the next he looked utterly confused. How the hell does this girl know my true demon's form's name? Did she know me? Does she know me? Do I know her? She was the one who bumped into me... She couldn't have. Isn't she just a human? Well after a good sniff I can smell some spiritual like miko blood. Then again she does look familiar...but I'm not in my demon form.. Shit is this crappy sealing spell not working again? His eyes flicked down upon his body, his hands, and then grabbed a tuff of his hair to see the colour, inspecting. It looks right..
Kagome looked shocked. What the hell? Is this really Inuyasha? Has he really returned? Kagome put her arms out half hesitating between hugging or running up to him. She felt like running up to him and embracing him and then again she felt uncertain.
"In-Inuyasha... Is-is that really you?" Kagome stuttered in a shaky/disbelieving tone. The boy just looked confused.
"I…How ….what… How do you know my nickname? Only so many know my nick name," The boy fought to look for words. Like barely anyone in the human world.
"Inuyasha? Don't you remember me? Kagome?" Kagome pleaded. Please remember? Isn't it you? Pease say it's you and you've come back. Tears were glistening down and she didn't realize it. Please be there for me again. I'm lost with out you. Kagome took retreating steps back. She was shaking her head side by side. She couldn't take this. Not to be alone again. To have this promise unbroken again. Don't say you've forgotten. Don't say you don't know me.
"I-I don't understand...How could you know that name? ..I don't even know you. I only say you today, for the first time." Inuyasha replied.
That was enough for Kagome. She slowly backed away, shaking her head in disbelief. This was all wrong. He was supposed to come back to her. Not as a mumbling buffoon. He had the appearance and even almost the same personality, but his mind was gone. Is this some sick joke? Well, haha. They had their fun, now just let her wake up. But it was real, it was all terribly real. She couldn't take it any more. She ran.
But she forgot they were standing on a half circle. She tripped over and came sprawling down.
Even by this high up you could crack your head or have a black out if you landed on your head hard. She did have a running start. And if she were to land... But no...she did not care any more. That's all. She just needed to run. Just run away...forever.
Except she didn't go tumbling down. The boy caught her wrist before she could land to her doom. Kagome found herself suddenly dangling by the wrist while the boy looked down at her.
"My nick name is Inuyasha and my real name is Ishizuki. But you can call me Inuyasha if you like." with that Inuyasha hoisted her up.
He made sure she had a steady grip on 'the hallow' before taking out his hand. "Hi my names Ishizuki, aka Inuyasha and I'm an exchange student from America, nice to meet you." he said to this awkward girl who he had a feeling would be by his side...forever.
Kagome looked at his hand surprisingly and then she shook it, "My name's Higurashi Kagome and I'm glad you saved me."
I guess it doesn't really matter if it was him atleast I made a new friend...even if it was an awkward start. And who knows this might really be him.
So that's how we met the first time for the second time.
Kagome and Inuyasha were walking towards Kagome's house, and causing quite a ruckus in the streets.
"You know you don't have to walk me home…" Kagome trailed off, but I'm glad you did anyways.
"I'm gonna, who knows what a crazy wench like you would do after that suicidal attempt."
"You just like me and want to make sure I go home safely." Kagome stated, seeing through his excuses.
"Sure if it makes you happy than keep thinking that." Inuyasha said trying to hide his upcoming blush.
"Thanks for helping me hop over that fence. I mean, literally, never knew a guy could literally hop over a fence that high." She made a motion with her hands, replaying the seen. "Quite a feat."
"I didn't want to see your underwear." Inuyasha said trying to evade her questioning look.
"What the hell? You were spying on me the whole time?" Hehehe it worked. Kagome smiled to herself, this guy could blush at any sign of intimacy. Just like Inuyasha.
"No I just didn't want to." He said plainly before breaking out into a supposedly 'innocent' whistle.
"Blow my whistle"
"WHAT!"
Suppressed laughter could be heard from Kagome as she doubled over, this guy was too good to be true. EXACTLY like Inuyasha on these situations. "Your whistle. It reminded me of this song on this arcade game I played once."
"Shut up."
"Face it Inuyasha. You are a perv, Pervert!"
"Wench!"
"Jerk!"
Movements with hands began coming from both sides, making emphasis of the accusations or even pointing fingers…
"Suicidist!"
"That ain't a word!"
"Neither is ain't!"
"Double negative!"
"Bitch!"
"Dogturd!"
"Shut up!"
"But deep down you lo0o0ove me!" Kagome teased.
"Whatever. You're not the first to accuse me that today."
She cocked up an eyebrow at that last remark and Inuyasha blushed. "BAH!"
"So you doing anything next Friday?" Kagome questioned after a few moments of silence.
"No, whatsit to yea?"
"Oh nothing, I'm just wandering if you'd like to go somewhere with me…" Kagome trailed off.
"Where?"
"Say you'll go." Kagome asked, facing him, which meant she was walking backwards. Not a very good move.
"Where?" Inuyasha asked again, looking warily at Kagome's feet. She was known for being a klutz to him so far.
"Say it."
"It."
"No, say 'you'll go.'" Kagome said.
"Where? Go where?"
"You just need to say, 'I'll go.'"
"No, tell me where."
"Truth or dare?"
"What!"
"Truth or dare."
Inuyasha was utterly confused. One moment she wanted him to say I'll go and the next to pick truth or dare. This is one weird girl.
"Dare." Inuyasha said with pride.
"I dare you to say I'll go and go with me on Friday," Kagome beamed triumphantly. Deep down she was glowing with happiness and snickering 'sucker.'
"Shit! I always fall for that. Fine I'll go. So where are we going?"
"Shh…" Kagome put her index finger up to his lips. "It's a surprise."
"Damn."
Kagome smiled happily and then suddenly her foot stepped over a rock, upsetting her balance. Before she knew it, a good amount of her footing had left the ground and her arms went flailing. She closed her eyes, waiting for her breath to come out of her as her body impacted the cold hard ground.
But it didn't happen and she opened both eyes to see Inuyasha, his face inches from hers breathing heavily as his arms were securely around her waist.
"Uh.." Kagome couldn't say anything. No matter how she'd joke with guys, she'd never let anyone come close to her, except for Inuyasha… She could feel her heart beating.
"You're kinda heavy, y'kno" He whispered to her, watching her face.
-Beating. Beating. Beating.-
"Uh.. yea.."
-Beating. Beating. Beating.-
"Jeez, wench. Could you please watch your step, you always keep falling around me." He whispered and smirked. "Or are you like all girls, swooning over me?"
-Beating.-
"Get over yourself." Kagome whispered back, the shadows around them seemed to upon their figures. She wasn't this close to this Inuyasha before and even his scent was just like the old Inuyasha. Musky, warm, wild, and lovely. "Besides, shouldn't you let me go by now?"
"Not unless you wanna really fall." But her words caught up to him and he couldn't help blushing.
He pulled her up and let her go. The next few minutes were kept in silence after such a scene between the two. Kagome saw her house and mentioned it to him. She turned over to say thanks and good-bye but Inuyasha was already gone.
For the 5th time that day, he had slipped out of her grasp once again.
What a day.
The next day Kagome could be found humming and literally skipping around to all the melodies of "The Sound Of Music." Not only was she able to get revenge the other day on the prissy snit she was able to find "Inuyasha." Well she was hoping he was Inuyasha.
Her mom was quite worried about her when she was humming and actually volunteering to sweep the shrine.
When Kagome excused herself to go and visit her friends her mother was actually thinking about giving that vaccine the school nurse was mentioning about these days to Kagome.
"Kagome, you poor dear." Her mother whispered when her daughter disappeared into the well. Maybe she had entered the deep end for moping around after Inuyasha…
"What has gotten you in the cheeriest of moods, Kagome?" Sango questioned puzzled at Kagome's change of moods. Lately this has been her best moods since The Incident. Her best friend, Sango, could tell she always covered up her pain. But today it was different.
"Oh nothing," Kagome waved her hand to move on to another subject. "What I want to know is what happened, Sango my dear, dear friend between you and that monk of yours."
Sango blushed at her comments, "Kagome, you know you are a very dear friend of mine but sometimes if you question too deep...I might have to do something about that."
"Jeez Sango, I'm just a friend in need of gossip right now, no need to be so…violent these days," Kagome said raising her hands up in mock surrender, continuing the joke. "Besides since you're so overprotected over the things that happened over yesterday it must be really good dirt." Kagome said this time in a more mischievous glint in the eyes.
"Oh sometimes I feel sorry for you and sometimes I feel sorry for me," Sango said mournfully.
"Also I did have some intimate thing going when you guys left..."
"Really! Then tell me!"
"Well you didn't tell me."
"Okay I'll tell you mine if you tell me your! No wonder you were so cheerful!"
"Shh…I want this to be kept secret,"
"I do too. Let's go to usual place."
"Yea! Great Idea!"
Stealthily the girls moved to their most private place in that region. The hot springs.
But unknowingly a figure was stalking them behind...
"That's what he said!"
"Yea, I know I can't believe it!"
"No way!"
"Yes!"
"But what about your guy? I mean by far…"
"Well your guy is just hysterical!"
"I know, but yours sounded so cute by the way you told!"
A long sigh could be hear from each girl out of relaxation.
"Yea but nothings as great as being so relaxed right now."
"Yea."
"Well Kagome do you smell that dirty rat near the bushes over there?"
"Yea, Sango. isn't it gonna be dead soon?"
"Yup"
"Let's go get it."
"Let's!"
Right now that figure in the bushes was as scared as hell. Sweat drops could be seen running down. Oh shit, oh shit. It thought slowly. "What are they gonna do to me!"
He saw the figure of the sadistic angels walking his way in their bathing suit. It could see the devil's glint in their beautiful eyes. They were going to neuter him weren't they? Dammit...
A yowl was heard through out the village and forest.
"Aye, it's that lecherous monk again. They found him.." Said Kaede to the person who she was splintering his arm for.
"Doesn't that monk ever learn?" asked the villager while shaking his head disgusted by that houshi.
After dealing with that monk Kagome decided it was time to go home. The next day was spent in homework, and sleeping. She couldn't wait for Monday.
"Hey, Inuyasha!" Kagome waved towards Inuyasha who was being mobbed by a group of girls at the moment.
"What did you hear her? She has a pet name for HIM!" screeched some girls.
"Come on let's give him one too!"
"Kagome please help!" Inuyasha yelled pleadingly.
"HE KNOWS HER NAME!" Screeched some more girls.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled again as tons of girls introduced themselves to him while mobbing him at the same time. Well, actually more like screamed there names to him and giving him new pet names. She could have sworn she heard a particular friend's voice. One of her three friends. Heck maybe all three of them.
"All right, all right. Hey! OH EM GEE! THEY'RE GIVING OUT FREE MAKEUP AND MAKEOVERS AT THE SALON DOWN THE STREET!" Kagome hollered.
Nope that did not even work. Hmm…what about..
"Inuyasha duck!"
"WHERE IS HE?" voiced some of the girls.
"He went that way! Towards the library!" Kagome yelled.
"Come on girls!" The mob raced towards the library.
"I am forever in you debt!" Inuyasha said appearing next to her, he looked absolutely exhausted.
"Heh. No prob." Kagome said breezily, waving it away.
"Well... do you have a group of fan boys?"
"Yup and when they come you can help me get rid of them."
"Heh. My pleasure." Inuyasha said cracking his knuckles.
"Knew you'd say that. Well I guess I'm going to be your guide to this school for the week. Well welcome!"
"You have no clue what's the name of this school do you?"
"Nope not a clue in the world." Kagome replied still having that grin on.
So how'd you'll like it? This is an unusual title but hey I like it! And yes I have no clue what the schools name is so I'm just gonna make it part of the fic to make it part of a light mood part! Well please review!
