Two days later and I was finally released from the hospital. Inuyasha had visited me both days and kept me company. It hadn't helped me fall out of love with him. He waited on me hand and foot and I caught him staring at me a couple of times with a far away look in his eyes. Its not like I didn't enjoy him being there, it was just kind of awkward, like he was trying to prove something.

"Well there you go, Kags!"

"Thanks for helping me with my stuff, Inuyasha. I appreciate it." I set my guitar on its stand and leaped on my bed.

"Easy there, and your welcome." He sat beside me and handed me my notebook. "I've got to hand it to you. You're a great writer. Thanks for letting me read that story, it was amazing."

I blushed a little. "Thanks, I'm kind of surprised I let you. Usually I throw a big fit about someone reading just a chapter of my work."

"Wow, I feel special."

"Well, you should! So, let's get out of here. I've been imprisoned in that hospital room forever, I need real food!"

"It was only two days." He gave me an amused look.

"It felt like a century! Let's go get a burger. Ooh or maybe some nachos! Score, or both!" I jumped up and did a happy dance.

"I've never seen a girl so excited about eating. Alright let's head over to the mall."

"Yay! Shotgun!" I stopped in my tracks realizing how stupid that sounded seeing as there was only two of us and Inuyasha was driving.

I turned and look at Inuyasha then we laughed simultaneously.

"Do you know how ditzy that sounded?" Inuyasha asked between gulps of breath.

"Yeah, sorry. That was a total spaz moment." I laughed and started heading downstairs.

"S'ok, I missed your brainless comments. I never have this much fun with Kikyou."

I tried to hide my total bliss at his words. I was also kind of disappointed he mentioned Kikyou. He always thinks about her, not matter who he's with.

-

We arrived at the mall after a 20 minute ride of rocking out to every song you can possibly listen to in that amount of time. We have the same taste in music. It's amazing.

"Yay food, I'm starving!" I said then took out five dollars from my pocket.

"Now, none of that." Inuyasha ordered me nachos and a burger just like I wanted. "I'm the gentleman, I should buy your food." He said as we walked to an available booth next to the ice skating rink.

"Newsflash, Yasha. It's the twenty-first century." Little did he know I was a master at pick pocketing and I snuck my five dollars into his one of his many pockets while he was ordering. I love guys with trip pants.

"Yeah, but I'll still feel better if you let me pay."

"Alright, but you owe me." I laughed evilly in my head. 'You actually owe me nothing! Mwahehehe.'

"Deal."

Then I pounced on my burger like a hungry lion pounces on an unsuspecting gazelle. Wow that sounded weird.

-

So after we ate Inuyasha and I walked through the mall and just chatted. I was in heaven.

"You know, Yash. You've spent so much time with me. Isn't Kikyou a little of the, I don't know, jealous type?" I asked. I hated bringing her up, but I was really curious.

"Yeah, she is. I haven't really talked to her about it though."

"Oh."

I turned to look at him and he was looking at me with that far away expression again.

"What?"

"Kagome, how do you feel about me?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean-" at that moment his cell phone rang. "Hello?" He answered with a hint of irritation in his voice. "Oh, hey Kikyou."

Ugh! She had to ruin everything! I think he was just about to confess his feelings for me or something of that nature. Oh wait he's still talking to her. Eavesdropping time! Did I mention I have the ears of a bat? Well not literally, I just can hear really, really well.

"Inu! We haven't hung out in such a long time! I miss you, baby!" Ugh what kind of idiotic name is Inu? Makes him sound like a dog. Well he is, but its still stupid! Yasha or Yash sounds way better. He said so himself. I probably have a real smug smile on my face. 'Kagome focus!' Oh. Yeah. Right!

"I'm sorry Kikyou. I haven't really had time…" I see him take a sideway glance at me from the corner of my eye. "I've been caught up in…important things." My heart swells. I'm important!

"What's more important than your girlfriend?" She asks in a annoyed tone. Well that makes two of us, slut.

Inuyasha's eyes harden a little. "A lot of things, Kikyou." Woah, did he just say that?

"Like what?!" She's very angry. Someone forgot their happy pills. Teehee.

"I really don't need this Kikyou. I'm already confused enough."

'About what?' That's what I was thinking.

"We can talk about this later. I have to go."

'Damnit, Inuyasha! You're with Kagome aren't you?!' I tensed at hearing my name. Have they spoken about me before?

Inuyasha noticed me tense and stopped in the middle of the mall to turn and look at me. "Yes, Kikyou. I am." He was staring at me with a blank expression. Then he closed the phone, ending their conversation.

I was looking at him with no doubt was a confused look on my face. "What was that all about?"

"I wouldn't worry about it for now, Kags." He smiled at me half-heartedly.

Now I was really confused. What the hell is going on?
