Chapter 6 – For Better or Worse?

Last time

There was a movement to her left and she looked over. Inuyasha had sat down beside her on the couch. He had a plate of toast. He held it out to Kagome.

"Toast?" he asked.

Kagome looked at the toast and decided she wasn't very hungry. She shook her head. Inuyasha shrugged and took a bite into his own toast. Kagome sighed. Just being around him made her nervous. What if he remembered or something? This was going to be a long few days...

This Time

Kagome hit her head against the locker...again. She had created a fair sized dent in her locker already and was earning strange looks from all of her peers. It was Monday morning lunch period. Despite what her mother said about not having to go to school Kagome went. She couldn't stand being around Inuyasha any longer and had to get away. But it seemed running away to school was a lost cause.

She had just gotten out of Math class and was walking down the hall to her locker when she saw guess who making out with guess who 2. Yep, Inuyasha and Kikyou. Wait let me rephrase that, 'Koinu' and Kinky-ho. She had nearly screamed out in frustration right then and there. But she was able to keep her cool until she could get to her locker to take it out on it.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid..." she chanted to herself as she kept hitting her head against the locker, ignoring the pain.

'Stupid Inuyasha, stupid Kinky-ho, stupid party, stupid mom, stupid friends, stupid ME!' she screamed inside her head. 'Why did Mom have to leave me with Inuyasha? Why couldn't I have just gone to Sango's? Why didn't Miroku and Sango come after me after I didn't come back? Why did I do 'it' with 'him'? Aaah!'

With Inuyasha

Once he was able to peel Kikyou off of him, Inuyasha headed to the grade 10 hall to go see Kagome, to tell her he'd be having lunch with Kikyou...again. But when he got there he found himself (as well as many others) staring in confusion and shock at the girl currently beating herself and the locker up. He walked up to her cautiously.

"Err...Kagome?" he asked cautiously, not wanting her to turn on him.

Kagome stopped pounding her head. She slowly turned to face Inuyasha.

"Oh...hey Inuyasha," she said looking at the floor.

"Umm, are you okay?" Inuyasha asked.

Inwardly Kagome blushed tomato red and melted into a puddle on the floor from embarassment. But outside she just smiled as best she could and made up the best excuss she could think of.

"Oh, yea. I'm fine, totally fine. I just did my entire math assignment wrong and now I'm going to get a horrible mark!" she lied.

"Oh-kaaay. Anyway, I'm eating lunch with Kikyou againg, kay?" said Inuyasha.

"Yea, okay," said Kagome.

"Okay, see ya later!" Inuyasha called, already half way down the hall.

Kagome gave a half hearted wave and turned to go look for Sango and Miroku.

After School at Sango's House

"Aaaah! I can't take it anymore! I have to tell someone!" Kagome yelled.

Sango only blinked, a bit shocked from Kagome's sudden outburst. They had been talking about clothes just a moment ago.

"Umm, okay Kagome," said Sango. "Shoot."

"Okay---" Kagome's confession was suddenly cut off by the door bell ringing. Kagome sighed. Sango huffed. She took a deep breath then yelled down the stairs at her brother. Kagome nearly fell over from the force of her yell and was deafened for a few moments.

"Kohaku! Get the door!" she yelled down at her little brother.

"Why don't you?" Kohaku yelled back.

Sango sighed. "Fine."

Sango stormed down the stairs to the front hall and to the door. She grabbed the handle and pulled the door open, revealing Miroku standing on her door step. Miroku turned and smiled.

"Hello Sango, I was just wondering---" he was suddenly cut off by Sango.

"Sorry, can't. Kagome's here and she's about to tell me something really juicy. You can come in if you like though," said Sango.

"Oh, umm, okay."

Miroku walked past Sango into the front hall. Kagome appeared at the top of the stairs. She spotted Miroku and waved and said 'hi'. Then the three of them went back into Sango's room. Sango's room was average size. She had a twin bed with red blankets and pillows. Beside her bed was an end table with nothing but an alarm clock perched on it. She had a TV and two black bean bag chairs. A few articles of clothing and some magazines littered the floor that she quickly gathered up and threw into her closet before Miroku entered.

Sango sat down in one of her bean bag chairs and Miroku sat on the floor cross legged. Kagome stood for a moment pacing with Sango and Miroku both watching her expectantly. Finally she crossed the room and fell back onto Sango's bed. She sat up and sighed. She looked over at Sango and Miroku who were still watching her with expectant looks. She sighed.

"Okay, if I tell you, you have to promise not to tell anyone! NO one! Got that?" said Kagome.

"Can we tell Inuya---"

"NO! Especially not Inuyasha!"

"Oh-kaay," said Miroku a bit afraid of getting his head bitten off by Kagome.

"So, what is it?" asked Sango. "It must be big if we can't even tell Inuyasha."

"Especially not Inuyasha," Kagome pressed.

"Okay, 'especially' not Inuyasha."'Jeeze, what is up with Kagome?'

"Okay..." Kagome sighed again. Could she trust them not to tell Inuyasha? She thought for a moment. Yeah, she could. She sighed, yet again. "Okay, I...I...I.."

"You what?" asked Sango, trying to help her friend along. "You know you can tell us anything, right?"

Kagome nodded.

"So, what is it?"

"I did 'it'..." she said shakily.

"What?"

"'It'."

"What is 'it'?"

Sango finally caught on and gasped. "Oh..." 'I never thought our Kagome would do that, not now at least,' Sango thought.

Miroku looked between the two girls cluelessly, looking for an answer from one of them. Kagome looked terribly ashamed of herself and Sango looked extremely symapthetic. He sighed loudly catching the attention of both girls, who looked up at him in surprise.

"What is 'it'?" he asked, for what seemed like the millionth time.

Sango and Kagome both sweat dropped and fell to the ground anime-style.

"You'd think that Miroku, being as perverted as he is and all, would have gotten it first," muttered Sango.

Kagome only nodded in agreement. The two girls shook their heads at Miroku's still oblivous look as he continued to ask what 'it' was. The two girls ignored him. Sango turned to Kagome.

"Who with?" she asked.

Kagome blushed and looked down at her feet.

"Inuyasha," she admitted quietly.

Finally something ticked in that tiny brain of Miroku's and he gasped.

"You did 'it' with Inuyasha!"

Kagome nodded slowly. Then she looked up and gave her two friends a pleading look. She clasped her hands together.

"You definitely won't tell him, right? You won't tell anyone!" she said.

Sango nodded.

"We won't tell a soul!" she said.

The Next Day

Kagome walked aimlessly down the street. She didn't really care where she was going. She just walked, barely paying attention to the world around her. A car full of teenagers drove by her, nearly running her over and she didn't even flinch or make a move to get out of the way. One of them yelled out the window at her but she made no reply. She was in her own little world. Totally oblivious to the world around her. If bunch of ninja fell from the sky from helicopters and started ransacking every house in the city, she probably wouldn't have noticed. If the world were to end at that very moment, she probably wouldn't have noticed. She would just continue walking like nothing had happened.

Earlier that day her mother and Souta had returned home from Kyoto with Inuyasha's parents. Both had been extremely excited and couldn't wait to tell Kagome the news. While in Kyoto, Haruko had been offered the perfect job working for an old friend of hers. She had taken the job, of course. Kagome had figured that they would spend the rest of the year in Tokyo then move in the summer. But Haruko surprised her by announcing that they would be moving to Kyoto at the end of the next month, 6 weeks away.

Now, Kagome didn't know how to take the move. She was excited about the change, but she was also sad to leave her friends. A typical reaction. In Kyoto she wouldn't be able to see Inuyasha anymore: good thing, right? She wouldn't have to deal with the awkwardness she now felt whenever she was around him. She wouldn't have to deal with the hurt she felt when she saw him with Kikyou. BUT, on the other hand in Kyoto she wouldn't be able to see Inuyasha anymore: bad thing, right? Inuyasha had been her best friend since the day she was born. Could she just leave him behind and forget about him, about them (even though techniquelly there was no them)?

Kagome sighed. She stopped walking and looked around at her surroundings. She was in a city park. She recognized it, it was near Inuyasha's house. She must have passed Inuyasha's house a while ago. She took one more glance around the park. She spotted a playground nearby and smiled. She and Inuyasha used to always go to that park when they were younger. It was sort of like a sanctuary to them. Up until a few years ago, if they were upset about something, or just needed to think, they would always meet up there. But since Kagome started high school she hadn't been back to the park. She frowned, trying to figure out why she hadn't been there in so long. But she soon smiled again and walked up to the swings. She sat down on the swings and began to swing slowly. All of her thoughts just disappeared for a moment. She laughed quietly then bent over backwards over the swing touching her hands to the ground in a bridge over the swing. She giggled and arched her back more, abandoning the support of the swing. She shook a bit, but then balanced herself. She was being completely carefree, all her worries gone...for the moment.

Her peace, however, was short lived.

"Aaah," said a voice mock disgust at Kagome's ability to bend. "That's not normal!"

It was Inuyasha. Kagome gasped and nearly fell on her head but caught herself before she fell and managed to flip her legs over her head only to land sprawled out in the sand. She heard Inuyasha laughing hysterically behind her. She growled (if a human can growl) and sat up turning to face Inuyasha. She glared daggers at him.

"Inuyasha!" she exclaimed. "You asshole!"

"Whoa did sweet little Kagome just swear?" said Inuyasha still laughing.

"Sweet Kagome's not here at the moment. Would you like to see evil going-to-beat-the-shit-out-of-you-if-you-ever-do-that-again Kagome instead?" said Kagome sweetly.

Inuyasha just laughed again. Kagome stood up and sat back down on the swing.

"Hmph, leave me alone Inuyasha."

"Ah, come on. I'm just bugging you. But seriously that is sorta freaky that you can do that," said Inuyasha sitting down on the swing next to Kagome.

They were quiet for a moment. As they swung in silence for a few moments their shadows got longer and the sky turned orange. Kagome glanced up at the sky and sighed. She leapt from her swing, which was swinging quite high, and landed gracefully on grass. She looked back at Inuyasha.

"It's getting dark. I'm goning to head home," she announced.

Inuyasha leapt off his own swing and landed a few feet away from where Kagome had landed.

"I'll come with you," he said.

So, they walked in silence for a while. Finally Inuyasha spoke, breaking their awkward silence.

"Sooo, you're moving to Kyoto, eh?" he said.

Kagome nodded.

"In six weeks," she said. "Mom has even found a house for us already. It's really nice."

Inuyasha didn't say anything.

Neither of them said another word until they arrived at Inuyasha's house. Inuyasha offered to walk Kagome the rest of the way home but she declined and said she wanted to think.
