Chapter 11

Kagome had barely slept the night before. Her sleep was constantly interrupted with nightmares and waking up through out the night screaming or with cold chills. She spent a lot of her night contemplating what the outcome of today may bring; she hadn't spoken to any since yesterday and she didn't feel like seeing them either. After her phone call last night, she didn't want to go to detention to see what was in store for her.

She quickly got ready, throwing on a pair of jeans and a sweater as she grabbed her car keys from the kitchen counter and headed out the door to school. She turned on her car, revved the engine and then pealed out of her driveway, driving down the street towards down town.

What am I going to do? She thought. She couldn't say anything to any one, and like any one would talk to her after yesterday. Maybe it was better for her not to say anything.

They were already mad with her, telling them would probably only make them even more angry. She would just have to suffer through this by herself.

She pulled in to the school parking lot, parking close to the school entrance as she got out and locked her door. She pressed her keys in to her front pocket and then walked towards the front door.

She wasn't the first one to get there; Sango and Ayame were standing at the front entrance and as Kagome came up to them, they raised their eyebrows.

"Well, well, don't you think you owe us some explanation?" Sango asked her, crossing her arms.

Kagome nodded as she came up to them, stopping. "I should have told you guys, and I'm sorry I didn't.. can you forgive me?"

Ayame and Sango exchanged looks from each other and then looked over Kagome's shoulder. Ayame grinned. "We're not the one you should be apologizing to."

Kagome narrowed her eyebrows, wondering what they meant. Sango pointed to behind her and Kagome's body froze, she slowly spun her body around and see Inuyasha coming up the walk way with Miroku and Sesshomaru. As soon as she seen him, all of her worries melted away, it was as if seeing him could fix all of her problems, but she happened to be the problem now. She knew what she had to say to him, maybe if she got him alone for a moment to talk and explain her situation and everything that had happened maybe, just maybe, he would understand and forgive her.

Sesshomaru seen Kagome looking at Inuyasha before he did and within an instant, he dashed in front of his brother, stopping him in his tracks.

"What-" Inuyasha stuttered, ramming in to his brother.

Sesshomaru placed a hand on his shoulder and brought a pointy finger to his face. "You know what you have to do about that," he said as he motioned behind him. Inuyasha leaned over his shoulder to see Kagome looking at him. He sighed and nodded to Sesshomaru. He tapped his brother on his back. "Good job, brother."

Sesshomaru got out-of-the-way and returned to walking beside Inuyasha as they came up to the girls.

As Inuyasha closed in on Kagome, she started to step towards him, smiling. He looked down as he tried to pass her but she reached out her hand for him, grabbing his forearm. "Inuyasha-" she said, trying to get his attention. He came to a full stop, turning around to look as her and winced her hand back as he gave her a hatred look, his eyes almost drilling in to her soul. His look softens a bit as he kept walking in to the school as Sango and Ayame joined them.

Kagome felt crushed. She felt hopeless. It felt like someone had taken a huge hole out of her chest; all she wanted to do was drop to her knees and beg for forgiveness at the sight of his face. What have I done, I love him, how could I ruin this? Tears started to swell up in her eyes.

I have to get him to forgive me, I can't afford to lose him. She heard a car door close behind her. Searching around to see who it was, she could see Kouga waving to her as he walked up the pathway. She rolled her eyes and entered the school determined to leave opposite to the way she entered.

They were all crammed in one small classroom; Sango, Miroku, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were all sitting in one corner talking while Kikyo and Rin were sitting in the middle of the classroom looking at something on one of their phones when Kagome walked in. Everyone stopped for a moment and the room went quiet. Kagome rolled her eyes and took a seat at the front by herself.

Ayame came in, looking over at Sango. "Sorry, wasn't in my locker." she told her as she joined them in the back.

Kagome just wanted to get there 5 hours of torture over with already.

She heard footsteps approaching the door, when she looked up at the doorway she eyes met Bankotsu's. He stopped as they gave each other an understanding smile before he walked over to the other side of the room. Inuyasha watched him as he stared at Kagome.

The last to arrive was Kouga and he came in to the classroom hollering and making a scene. "Hello detention mates! How are you this fine Saturday afternoon?" and the entire room stared at him. No one said anything, just gave him a dirty look and continued what they were doing. He leaned down to Kagome and whispered in to her ear. "Hey honey, um listen.. I heard Inuyasha found out about us so if he dumps you, which he should, because I also heard about your bathroom fun with Bankotsu," he waved over at him. "Come find me, no need to impress me."

Kikyo and Rin over heard what Kouga said to her and started to laugh, catching everyone's attention. "Oh please, Kouga." Kikyo said, getting out of her seat and walking over to him. "Why would you want her?" Kikyo turned around and looked at Inuyasha and Bankotsu; "Why did any of you want her? As far as I'm concerned, she's nothing more than a whore."

Kagome could've got up and fought her; she could have argued with her, commented or do anything. Instead, she sat there and ignored her, she brushed it off her shoulder. Her mouth had already gotten her in to trouble already, she wasn't about to let it happen again. But she wouldn't mind knocking her lights out.

Kikyo wasn't getting the reaction that she wanted from Kagome. "What's wrong, sweetheart?" She asked, walking over to Kagome and setting her elbows on her desk, looking at her. "Nothing to say to me? Or Inuyasha over there?" Kagome looked right through her, tuning her out. Kikyo tried to get to her. "You know, you can tell he really loves you.. or should I say loved after what he found out?"

"Shut the fuck up, Kikyo!"

Kikyo and Kagome both turned around to see who shouted. It was Inuyasha.

"I've heard enough, this is none of your fucking business Kikyo." He said as he walked up the aisle to her and then looked back at everyone else. "Or anyone else's. This is between me and Kagome."

Kagome's mouth dropped, she couldn't believe he was actually sticking up for her after everything she did to him the last couple of days. She couldn't help the smile that crept on to her face when he came over to her. Kikyo rolled her eyes and went and sat down with Rin.

"Where's the teacher?" Sesshomaru asked the group; looking at the clock he noticed that the teacher was already twenty minutes late.

Kouga jumped off his desk that he was sitting on. "Well, if they're not here, I'm not staying." he headed towards the classroom door and every one started to follow behind him. They turned right and headed down the hallway to the front door. He went to grabbed the door and an alarm went off.

"Attention please, attention. There has been a security breach in the building. Cease all activity and go to your meeting points and wait for instructions. Thank you." the intercom over the school shut off.

They all started to go back in to the class room one by one. Sango looked over at Miroku and pulled him close to her. "We're not really gonna stay here, are we? We should try to find a way out."

Miroku nodded to her and grabbed Inuyasha's arm. "Me and Sango think we should probably split up and try to find a way out."

"Good idea, I don't think any of us wanna spend the night here!" Inuyasha laughed, looking around the room.

Sesshomaru and Kouga came in to the classroom with a few base-ball bats and an axe. "We decided we are going to find a window that is breakable in the school and take evasive action. Let's split up." Sesshomaru said as he grabbed a bat and headed for the door.

Sango and Miroku took off to the East wing of the school, Inuyasha and Kagome took the West wing and the rest of them took up stairs and downstairs of the school. They agreed to come back within an hour or when they found a way out.

"Do you think Kagome actually did it?" Sango broke the silence between her and Miroku finally. They were coming up towards the Physics labs.

Miroku looked down at her and shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know," he responded. Walking over to one of the benches in the round-about in this section. He sat down and motioned for her to come over to him. "To be honest, I wasn't surprised.." he leaned out his hand for hers.

Sango gasped, drawing her hand back from him. "Excuse me?"

Miroku sighed. "I mean Kagome is a very beautiful woman, doesn't surprise me that they want her." He paused, closing his eyes for a moment. "However, the Kouga part does startle me, considering him and Inuyasha are, were, best friends."

She calmed down a bit. She took a seat beside him. "I suppose you're right," she mumbled.

Miroku glanced over at her from the corner of his eye. Pretending to yawn slightly, he made his arm carry over her shoulder til it landed on the opposite side, as he pulled her in closer to him. She stared down at the arm holding on to her and then at Miroku.

He gave her a slight grin before shaking his head. "I feel as if things won't work out for them."

Sango narrowed her eyes. Miroku turned away from her only to be grabbed by her hand to swing him back to look at her. "Why do you say that, Miroku?" she asked.

Miroku let out a big sigh, "I just feel it." He told her, starting to feel uneasy.

Sango wouldn't admit it but she felt it, too. She could a feel a bad presence or just bad karma lurking itself around them. She looked at Miroku and he looked worried. She took a deep breath and lunged herself at him, grabbing the back of his neck, pulling him to her until their lips met. She kissed him, slipping her tongue in to his mouth and playing with the back of his hair. He kissed her back, running his fingers all over her body.

She slowly started to unbutton her shirt before ripping it open, exposing his chest. She kissed softly up and down chest before returning to his mouth, biting his lip.

He pulled away from her, grabbed her shirt and pulled it over her head in a swift movement. He took hold of her sides and spun her around so that she was lying on her back as he kissed down her neck, her chest, her stomach. She played with his hair, pulling at it, as his kisses drove her crazy. He made his way back up to her and kissed her again as her hands reached for his belt as she unhooked it.

He froze for a moment, as he looked down at her. She stopped and pulling her hands back, thinking she had done something wrong. "Everything okay?" she asked breathlessly.

He raised an eyebrow at her. "You sure about this?" he practically whispered.

She smiled at him. Grabbing his head, she slammed her lips on to his as they quickly undressed.

Kagome didn't know what to say to Inuyasha. She didn't know if he totally forgave her or if he was just tired of hearing about it and wanted to deal with it on his own. She just wanted to talk to him and try to explain things.

They walked pass classroom after classroom in silence, side-by-side.

Kagome stopped walking. Froze. Inuyasha looked behind him, narrowing his eyes at her. "What are you doing?" he asked sarcastically, cracking a small smile.

But Kagome didn't find any of it amusing. She could really lose him, someone who she has real, deep feelings for; someone who completes her and makes her overly happy. Someone that is perfect for her. "I don't see how any of this is fucking funny to you." she bluntly commented.

Inuyasha was taken back, he turned fully around and started to walk up to her, making a half-smile crack through. "Someone doesn't have a good sense of humor." he mused, poking at her stomach like a child.

"This isn't a joke, Inuyasha!" she screamed at him, her whole body shaking with anger. His smile instantly went away at her raised voice. "Look, you should be mad at me, not sticking up for me. I did something horrible to you and you're making jokes with me," she paused, looking at the ground. "You seem to have forgiven me without an explanation on my part."

Inuyasha grabbed her chin between his index finger and his thumb, lifting her head. "Kagome, its fine-" he whispered to her softly.

"No!" Kagome protested, her emotions were building up inside and she felt like she was going to explode. She didn't want him to forgive her so easily, she wanted to explain herself, make him understand why things happened the way they happened. "It's not fair."

Inuyasha let go of her chin, and his face turned serious. "What's not fair, Kagome?"

"It's not fair that you say it's fine without hearing any explanation, it feels wrong to me." she told him, gasping for air from her voice spiking high.

Inuyasha sighed as he closed his eyes. He reopened them after a few short moments and then shrugged his shoulders. "Fine. Explain."

Kagome gasped, she racked her brain to make sure she had everything she wanted to say. Taking a deep breath, she poured it out to him. "Kouga and I hooked up when you were gone were we dated the first time only because I was drunk, nothing more than that. Bankotsu in the bathroom, that was only a small feeling that was left for him that made me do that, only kissed him thought, nothing else." she inhaled and exhaled a few times before finishing off. "I'm hopelessly in love with you. I can't lose you over this."

"Better?" he asked as she nodded to him. He laughed at her. "You're not going to lose me. Ever."

Kagome went blank, she wondered what she should ask next or what way this conversation would go. So, she dared. "You forgive me?"

"How could I not forgive the woman I'm crazy about?" Inuyasha asked her with a grin. Kagome's face brightened up and she leapt in to Inuyasha's open arms and inhaled him. She drank in his warmth and his touch, and the feeling of knowing everything was going to be okay. She heard him clear his throat as she pulled back to look at him. He was sweating like crazy.

"Are you alright?" she asked, concerned about him.

He nodded before letting go of her and dropping to one of his knees, holding on to her hands. Kagome cupped her mouth with her hands as she looked down at him. "We've been through a lot so far, as friends and as a couple," he reached in to his pocket and pulled out a small black box, bringing it in front of her he opened it, revealing a beautiful oval diamond sitting on a band of white gold. She gasped, it was so beautiful. "And I don't know who I would want to go through the rest of it with. Kagome, would you make me the happiest man in the world by becoming my wife?" There was a small pause before he cracked the punch line. "Will you marry me?"

She was shaking and she couldn't stop it. She was so happy that after everything that had happened nothing changed. Everything was the same and exactly how it was supposed to be. All she could do was smile and nod. "Yes," she shakily whispered as Inuyasha slipped the ring on to her finger and then picked her up in to his arms, spinning her around and stopping to kiss her.

Go to locker 183 in the East wing. And suddenly, with her realization of what she had to do, all the happiness was drained from her. Terror washed over her in wonder of what could be waiting for her in the locker. But she hid her worrisome face from Inuyasha well. They noticed that the hour had already finished and that they had to head back to the classroom. As they walked together back, Kagome could feel as uneasy feeling wash over her. That her recent happiness would be put on hold.
