That night came. The sky was black as the stars covered little parts of it. Inuyasha dreamt about that fateful night. Sweat poured from his face. "No! No! Kik…Kikyo! Stay with me!" Inuyasha's eyes flew open. He was panting and was covered in sweat. He wiped his face of the sweat. Inuyasha stepped out of the dripping sheets and made it to the bathroom. He turned the shower on and stripped off his wet boxers. He got inside the hot shower and washed himself. "I had that same dream again." He spoke to himself as he washed his body.
A week pasted, Inuyasha wore some black, baggy jeans and a T-shirt. You could see his finely toned muscles from the shirt, but you could also see the scars on his arms. Kagome walked into their first class together. Once again, Kagome sat in front of Inuyasha, but she didn't say a word to him. Class was soon over then once again Kagome stood there waiting for Inuyasha. Inuyasha was getting use to this so he just made it a habit of always walking with her to Art.
"Inuyasha, you consider us friends, right?" Kagome asked as they walked down the hallway together. Inuyasha turned to her a bit confused.
"Yeah, why?" Inuyasha asked.
"Just wondering." Kagome said with a smile.
They both made it to Art on time today which made the teacher happy. The self-portrait was a two week assignment so everyone could do there best on it. Inuyasha was almost done since no one sat with him to bother him. Kagome walked over to him a couple minutes later. "Hey, can I sit with you today?" Kagome asked holding her drawing and pastels and her hands. Inuyasha nodded and Kagome sat across from him.
Inuyasha kept drawing. 'On no, this can't be happening. I'm falling in love with her. No, but I can't I promised Kikyo. I promised her that she'd be the only one I'd love.'
"Hey Inuyasha? You okay?" Kagome asked concerned. Inuyasha shook his head.
"No, I'm fine." Inuyasha said as he continued to draw his picture.
"How long have you been drawing? You're really good!" Kagome said happily.
For the first time in six months Inuyasha smiled. "I'm not sure…I've been drawing a lot since freshman year when I won an award in art for best masterpiece. I just like the freedom of drawing. You can do whatever you want." Inuyasha looked up at Kagome.
"You're really good too. How did you get started?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome looked up and for the first time he actually seemed interested in what she wanted to say. She smiled with a blush.
"Well, I took classes when I was little and I just liked it so I continued and continued until in six grade when my work was sent to a European Museum."
"Really, a European Museum!" Inuyasha spoke surprised. "That's great!" Kagome blushed. She smiled at how the raven haired boy had changed so much since she had been with him, but she new he was far from having an average teenage life. She suddenly, turned her head to a poster that was posted in the art room. It was about the Homecoming dance which was next Friday. Inuyasha looked up at her with a smile. 'Kikyo, I love you too'.
"Uh Inuyasha, What are you doing?" Kagome asked really confused. He shook his head from his day dream. He looked down to see his hand on her bare knee.
"Oh, sorry! I'm really sorry!" Inuyasha was bright red, but Kagome just smiled.
"It's alright, really." She said calmly. Inuyasha looked at her like a lost puppy. 'He was so cute.' Kagome thought to herself. She mentally shook her head to get out of her daydream of him.
Ring! The bell rang and everyone got up to leave. Kagome once again stayed until he was done and then they walked each other to their class.
"I have an appointment with your Mom tonight." He said as they left the art room. Kagome nodded. Inuyasha sighed. He didn't know anything about small talk. He turned to Kagome. His lips were quivering.
"Inuyasha? Do you like me?" Kagome asked like she was a little girl. Inuyasha paused for a moment.
"Like how?" Inuyasha asked.
"Do you like me more than a friend?" Kagome turned to him with a sincere look on her face.
"Uh…uh." Inuyasha stuttered.
"It's ok if you don't. I just want to know." Kagome said with a blush.
'Oh Kagome, don't do this. I like you but…but I made a promise to Kikyo.' Inuyasha sighed. "Kagome, I do really like you, but…but I can't like you"
"Huh? You're not making sense." Kagome grabbed his scar-covered arm. "Inuyasha?"
"I made a promise to Kikyo. I made a promise that we would be together forever and we would love no one else but each other". Inuyasha stood there looking in Kagome's violet eyes. She smiled.
"I'll wait for you like I've always done." She whispered to him as she let got of his arm. Kagome walked off to her next class. Inuyasha just stood there. 'Oh Kikyo, I miss you so damn much.'
