Chapter 12: Family matters, and hello you must be Sango!
Assembly had finished and Kagome was lying in her bed as Inuyasha had already left for basketball training. Kagome was going to see him however told him she wanted to talk to Sango.
'Ring' 'Ring' 'Ring' 'Ri-
"Hello?" Sango's voice sounded from the other end of the phone
Kagome smiled "Hello stranger"
Sango squealed "Oh Kaggie! How are you?"
Kagome smiled "I'm good Sango" Kagome leaned against the table of the kitchen "I just called to tell you that we just had assembly, and there is a Halloween open day festival happening in two weeks, and since it's open for the public, I was really hoping you were willing to come and spend the day with me as Kazuki?"
Sango squealed "Off course I will! I don't care if your Kagome, Kazuki or flipping Kaboochi, I'll definitely be there. Two weeks you said"
Kagome nodded "Yeah two"
Sango hummed "How about I bring Jakotsu over?"
Kagome beamed "Oh my god please bring Jay, I miss him just as much as I miss you. Plus he might want to see what he had created" Kagome said jokingly.
Sango laughed also "Yeah that's true. Okay well I shall see you this week-end along with my chauffeur and maybe I can meet this hunk Inuyasha you always talk about"
Kagome groaned "Mou Sango don't start"
Sango sighed "Okay, okay, but you know you can't wriggle yourself out of there when I'm there in two weeks"
Kagome laughed "I know, well I need to go, I need to go somewhere"
"Is it with the Inuyasha guy?" Sango said teasingly.
Kagome laughed a little "Bye Sango"
"I knew it! Aww okay okay okay, you don't let me have any fun. Bye!" Sango said happily as the call ended.
Kagome shook her head "She's way too hyper for her own good"
Kagome couldn't help but sigh dreamily as she saw Inuyasha shirtless with his low baggy jeans showing off his V shape hips, as the trousers had a chain from the front pocket linking to the back pocket. And his muscle tone on his jaw as well as his biceps that flexed as he cut the wood with the saw from the technology room, made her body heat up as if it was lit on fire. He had his hair in a high ponytail which moved every time he cut through the wood. Kagome couldn't help but admire how he was practically half naked with the exception of the gloves and the trousers, helping building stalls for the Halloween festival. Kagome almost felt like drooling as she saw him raise his arm and wiped his eyebrow to get rid of the sweat that perspired there. Kagome then felt a hand on her shoulder causing her to shake her head and come back to earth. She turned to see who the hand belonged too, and smiled when she saw Hojo.
"Hey Hojo" Kagome said happily but blushing as she was caught.
Hojo smiled back "Checking out Inuyasha eh" Hojo said whispering so no-body else could hear.
Kagome blushed and shook her head furiously "N-No, w-why would I-I do something l-like t-that. Jeez Hojo, w-what's gotten into y-your head eh" Kagome said stuttering as her hands were shaking with the glue as she tried to stick the Halloween decorations on the banner, however she couldn't keep her pulse straight as she bit her bottom lip trying to ignore Inuyasha as best as she could.
Hojo chuckled "It's written all over your face man." Hojo bent down to whisper "I know you like him Kagome, come on don't deny it"
Kagome shook her head as she pouted in slight anger "I don't and that's final. I promise on y our life I don't"
Hojo put a hand to his chest and pretended to choke "Shit, I-I'm dying, thanks a l-lot"
Kagome puffed her cheeks as she bonked him on the head gently "Stop it, I so do not"
Hojo wiggled his eyebrows "Oh yeah you do"
Kagome stuck out her tongue at him and went back to sticking the decorations, she then grabbed a glue stick from the box and threw it at Hojo. "Come on, since you wanted to be nosey come and help me decorate" Kagome said smiling, forgetting about her feelings for a moment.
Hojo smiled and catched the glue before shaking his head as he chuckled lightly and stuck the decorations for the banner.
Kagome took another sneak peek at Inuyasha and saw him laughing with Koga and Miroku along with some others who were in the basketball team as they drank their water. Kagome bit the corner of her bottom lip as she stopped what she was doing. Why was she so entranced with him, why was she so fixated on Inuyasha. She's been around plenty of boys and dated Koga for three years, why was she suddenly getting this strange feeling in her chest as she saw him. Why did she keep feeling her body heat up more and more the longer she stared at his masculine features and breathtaking laugh. Why was he making her lose all focus and made her think of no-one but him. Why was he the only person she thought of to start with! Kagome didn't know any of the answers, however she did know something that she had been denying. Whether she liked it or not, she knew she had affection for Inuyasha, that she had a crush on him. She admitted it before, but as these two weeks past since then, she couldn't help but accept that she was attracted to him both physically and emotionally. Yeah sure she had been attracted to Koga, but she never felt like this with him as she did with Inuyasha. She always thought that what Koga gave her was amazing, spectacular, amazing. However after spending so much time with Inuyasha, living with him, needing Inuyasha, and laughing with Inuyasha, she felt such kindness and respect that she never felt with Koga.
It seemed like all the time she spent with Koga in the three years of them being together, she always believed that she was living the perfect life that any relationship deserved. She always believed that even though Koga liked his space, that he really loved her, even though he said that he didn't want to see her everyday so they didn't get sick and tired of each other. Kagome's eyes looked sad as she just realised just how imperfect her relationship truly was. Inuyasha was different to Koga. Whenever she was around Inuyasha, she would feel respected, she would feel happy and care-free. She never had to worry about him postponing a date because he was true to his word and he would never back down on it whatever the case. He wouldn't only just say 'you look good' or 'nice' he would compliment, and would tell her what suited best or not. Koga never took the time of day to be with her, but Inuyasha was training her in the mornings, helping her in classes during the day, and sharing the cleaning duty in the apartment.
Kagome honestly felt like she belonged somewhere with Inuyasha. Koga...Koga merely gave her attention. Koga gave her all the attention of a perfect boyfriend she had always dreamed of. But did he really give her the good attention. Koga hardly ever complimented her, he smiled and kissed her, cuddled her, but never sincerely laid down with her and whispered in her ear how beautiful she was, or how much she meant to him, how he wished to be with her for as long as forever. Kagome felt her eyes burning with tears brimming her eyelashes as she bit her tongue, her hand squeezing around the glue making the plastic underneath warm. For three years she was so blindly in love, that she didn't see the true person underneath all the looks and the bad boy look. Kagome kept staring at Inuyasha as he smiled and laughed happily, so innocently.
She sighed as she closed her eyes and carried on sticking the small cut out pumpkins. Hojo looked at her and frowned sadly as he saw the distraught look in his friends eyes. Hojo put his hand gently on her own, causing Kagome to stop what she was doing and sighing again as she looked at him. Hojo gave a soft smile "Hey what's wrong. You can tell me"
Kagome shook her head lightly as she laughed lightly "Why is it, that the only thing I want the most in the world is so distant" she saw his questioning gaze and turned to stare at Inuyasha who was back to sawing the wood however he kept talking to Koga who was leaning near a table and talking to him whilst his phone was in his hand, she gave a sad smile. "All I want is...is to have someone who can love me for me, for someone to tell me they love me and...for me to feel it..." Kagome placed a hand on her chest and closed her eyes "...for me to feel the love that they say that have for me. Why is it that never happens, am I...not pretty enough..." Kagome shook her head a little and went back to sticking the decorations albeit very slowly.
Hojo shook his head and took the glue from her hand as he stared at her, his voice in a whisper so no-one could hear "You are beautiful, never think your not. If I wasn't gay and I knew from the start you were a..." Hojo gestured to her chest not wanting to say the word, Kagome nodded in understanding "...then I would be head over heels for you. I would want to chersih you every day, and let me tell you something Koga was a big mistake" Kagome looked down, whilst Hojo nodded "I know that you were thinking of him just now Kagome. But know that a jerk as him never deserved you, and god knows how you could stand for his bull shit for three years, but if anything you can't give up. If you want that love you desire so badly..." Hojo turned to where Inuyasha was and gabbed both of Kagome's shoulders as he situated her gaze on him, Hojo smiled as he saw his friend looking at the hanyou with want in her eyes "...then you need to go for it. You just need to be patient, patience is everything." Hojo noticed Kagome's lips turn into a smile. A genuine smile albeit small, but a warm one nonetheless. "I am sure that you will get that happy ending you want. You just need to figure out what you truly want first before you go for it." Hojo tapped her shoulder before getting up and helping Daisuke who looked as if he was tangled with the ribbons.
Kagome didn't even notice he was gone. However she did hear his words and knew he was right. She knew that her feelings for Koga were gone...and were slowly getting replaced by a star crossed love, a love that was practically impossible to have. 'Do...do I really l-like him? I...am I scared to admit it? Am I scared...scared of committing again?' Kagome thought for a moment before she realised that she had spent so much time thinking that she heard some members of her class whining that she hadn't finished the banner yet. Kagome jumped slightly and carried on with her job.
She secretly glared at the guy who yelled at her. Then she felt heat near her ear "You know glaring at people behind their back is very rude shorty"
Kagome jumped surprised at the voice. She turned around to see the hanyou she had been thinking about for the last 15 minutes smirk behind her, and groaned as she placed a hand on her chest "Don't scare me like that"
Inuyasha chuckled and sat cross-legged beside her. Kagome carried on decorating and felt Inuyasha's arm brush against hers. She tried her best to not stare at him, but it was proving difficult as she noticed the beads of sweat that were forming on his forehead and naked chest.
Inuyasha not noticing her gaze started talking "So what are you meant to do shorty?"
Kagome stuck one extra decoration of a witch before answering "I'm meant to decorate the banner. But I got distracted and kind of spaced out, so I got yelled at and need to finish this in 20 minutes which is impossible because I've only done a quarter of the banner"
Inuyasha looked at it and then smiled as he grabbed a glue from the box, stretching his arm allowing Kagome to have a nice view of his glistening back. Inuyasha leand back and took of the lid to the glue as he smirked and grabbed a pair of scissors that was on the floor. "Well two hands are better than one"
Kagome laughed "I swear it's two heads are better than one"
Inuyasha shrugged as he still had that goofy smile on his face "Yeah but do we really need two heads to figure out how to cut and glue card on card?" Kagome stuck her tongue out as he grabbed it with his fingers.
Kagome was caught my surprise as her eyes widened. Inuyasha chuckled "Y-You need to s-see your face. Your hilarious!" Inuyasha said laughing hard. Kagome smacked him upside the head causing him to playfully pout his lips.
"That hurt"
Kagome chuckled "Well who's fault is it that they were a bad boy"
Inuyasha smiled "But you like this bad boy" Inuyasha bumped his shoulder against Kazuki's. 'Why did I say that. Inuyasha you moron! He's a guy!'
Kagome blushed at the statement and mentally sighed. "You go over on that side and carry on sticking" Kagome ordered as she pointed with her hand to the right side of the banner. Inuyasha nodded and got up, however was quickly stopped as he turned to see Kazuki smiling up at him "I do like this bad boy, because he isn't really bad, just arrogant" Kagome said laughing at his face.
Inuyasha smiled slowly and ruffled his hair "Why you" he then shook his head and walked off "Silly" he muttered to himself, as he threw the glue stick in the air...
Inuyasha catched the water gun as he handed it to a small boy who was smiling happily jumping up and down. "Have fun kiddo"
The boy smiled and nodded "Thanks mister"
Inuyasha winked and saw the boy walking in line with the other kids who were successfully shooting down the cups and winning prizes which Kazuki was handing out. Inuyasha smiled as he saw him bend down and hug a child who wanted a blue small teddy bear and gave it to him ruffling his hair, before bowing to the mother who bowed back thankfully. He saw Kazuki wave before smiling as four kids three girls and one boy were jumping up and down blurting out presents. He leaned against the wooden stall as he swapped shifts with some guy called Kei. He saw him smile to the children as he picked the toys they wanted and playfully shook the toys a little tickling the kids. The parents in the background chatting and pointing to different areas. 'He's going to be good with kids someday' Inuyasha started walking towards him. Feeling sneaky and a little rebellious he walked up behind Kazuki and placed both his hands on his shoulders causing Kazuki to jump and gasp loudly.
Kagome put a hand on her chest as she turned around seeing the culprit. She puffed her cheeks in anger and put her balled up fists on her hips "And why pre-tell did you have to do that for?"
Inuyasha laughed "Lighten up shorty" Inuyasha said grabbing Kazuki's cheeks and shaking them a little "Gosh you are so easy to tease. How's the little runts doing, they asking for much?"
Kagome slapped his hands away and shook her head "Not much, they are very sweet and happy little things, however they are a little too demanding. One little pipsqueak wanted more than one and was about ot have a fit if her father didn't take her away apologising." 'That's good Kagome, your language has improved.'
Inuyasha nodded and put both his arms behind his head as he interlinked his fingers "Yeah I guess. But from what I see, you are good with them, ever want to become a dad someday?"
Kagome looked towards the little children running around happily with different coloured balloons and stuffed animals, including some with ice-cream and pretzels. She smiled as she saw them interact with their parents. "Yeah I do, I've always liked kids, and I hope one day I could have at least 2 or 3 at most. But I want to enjoy my 20's first"
Inuyasha nodded "Yeah off course, that is the normal thing to do. I mean we can have kids whenever"
Kagome blushed at that 'Shit I forgot about that. off course Kagome your acting like a guy yet you forgot the tiniest of details that come along with being one. Honestly your good at one thing then you fuck up another' Kagome shrugged "I guess so. How about you? You planning on ever having kids?" Kagome asked looking at nothing in particular, trying her best to not show her nervousness.
Inuyasha thought for a moment before looking at the sky and smiling "Yeah, I want as many as I can get. My parents have never been there for me, and I want to give my children everything and anything they want. I want to be in their lives, and not just send them some limo to school and from school. I would want to see their talent shows and school plays, their football games, and orchestra performances. I want to be able to give them the best childhood ever."
Kagome's eyes widened a little. She wanted to so badly squeal but because she was Kazuki she had to swallow the temptation. He was so cute and just so amazing. God how could Kikyo cheat on someone as amazing as Inuyasha! She must seriously be fucked up in the head if she let go of such a kind hearted and nurturing man like him. However one thing did intrigue her "Is that why you don't visit family on week-end's? Are they always busy or something?"
Inuyasha's eyes widened as he realised he had said too much. He out his arms down and shook his head "Forget it shorty. You got a queue waiting" Inuyasha said smiling tilting his head towards the line of kids waiting for their gifts. Kagome smiled at them and turned to where Inuyasha was before noticing that he wasn't there any more. Kagome frowned 'I wonder what sort of family he had if they don't even visit him once a month' Kagome closed her eyes once before opening them and turning around "Okay kid's what do you want to have..."
Inuyasha had gone into the school and jumped up the stairs that lead to the roof. Once he stood there he breathed in a big gulp of air before letting it out again. His lips sad and his eyes filled with burning anger and his fists tight with frustration. He looked down at the ground and put his hands in his trouser pockets as he laid down on roof allowing the sun to indulge his body as he enjoyed the peace and quiet. He could faintly hear all the chattering and the conversing that was happening on the school grounds below. However all he wanted was a quiet place to think. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before letting it out releasing his vexation and anger. Why was he so angry talking about his parents, he thought he took out that pent up frustration long ago when his full demon side appeared one time at school. And how was he so stupid to let it slip out so easily, now Kazuki would ask him questions and he'd get angry at him when he didn't do anything bad in the first place, and it's going to be the first year of secondary school all over again.
Inuyasha sighed as he opened his eyes and almost jumped when he saw Kazuki. "W-When did you get here?" Inuyasha asked sitting up.
Kagome sat down next to him cross-legged and looked at nothing in particular "Just now. I saw you leave and you weren't the cheery arrogant friend I knew. I was worried." Kagome said trying to act tough and not like a pansy.
Inuyasha looked at the scenery in front of him as he stretched his legs and crossed them at the ankles before leaned back with his hands spread apart behind him balancing his upper body. "You noticed that eh"
Kagome merely nodded. "I just...I just want to know what you meant by 'my parent's weren't there for me.' I don't want to invade in your private life or personal space or anything. It's just you are my friend and I hate seeing you like this." Kagome said smiling softly as she turned to see him.
Inuyasha turned to Kazuki and raised his hand to gently and slowly ruffle his hair. "I know, it's just. I've never spoken to any body about it before, yeah Koga and Miroku were there for me when I needed them, but I wouldn't be able to talk to them about something as whimpy as this."
Kagome shook her head "A case involving your parents is not a whimpy matter. You can tell me anything you know that right. No matter how cheesy it might be"
Inuyasha took in one deep breath before talking "My dad owns a pretty hefty chain of companies, it is worth millions, he distributes the latest electronics and products around the globe, but his main business is in the USA, he has one in Japan however my mother runs the one here and is in a partnership with my dad. You could guess already that just by those jobs alone how busy they must be"
Kagome's eyes were wide open as her mouth was gaping. Inuyasha chuckled at her expression "Yeah I know, Takahashi corp. makes everybody's face look like that" Kagome shut her mouth with a resounding pop and just looked to the ground.
Inuyasha hummed "Well anyway they were always so busy with their life and were always too busy with their company than taking care of me. Ever since I could remember I've been taken cared by nannies and more nannies, my dad never drove me to school or even accompanied me, he merely just gave me the luxury of a limo to drive me to school and back. My mother I would only ever see her really early in the morning. She never cooked, I've had butlers and chefs prepare me the best and finest meals, however...I never had the chance to come to home to a warm plate of cookies, or a warm hug. All I ever got was 'your parents wanted me to tell you...' I had a phone they could ring me up and tell me themselves but no they had emergencies to get to time." Inuyasha felt weird telling someone about his deepest sorrow. His deepest feelings that he had tried to repress in the back of his mind. However why was he so confident as he spoke with Kazuki? Inuyasha already knew the answer however. 'Because he doesn't expect anything from me.'
Kagome on the other hand was mainly sad, saddened that even though she lost her family at such a young age, she had the privilege to be showered with love. However Inuyasha was different, even though he still has his biological parents with him, he was mainly outcast in the family. Kagome hated that, Inuyasha was such a nice guy, and for him to have had a girlfriend as bitchy as Kikyo, but to also have a family that are hardly there for him, was just wrong and outrageous to say the least in her opinion.
Inuyasha brushed a hand through his hair "Whenever my dad promised to take me to the fun fair, or to the amusement park, the movies or the zoo, he would always say 'I'm sorry son, but me and your mother need to go to a very important meeting but I promise I will take you soon'..." Inuyasha snorted "...yeah soon being 10 years later. Not to mention he favours my brother more than me"
Kagome turned her eyes still wide "You have a brother?"
Inuyasha nodded "Unfortunately yeah, Sesshomaru he's 24 but he already owns half of my dads business in america and let's just say he is so proud of him. However when I told him that I wanted to pursue my life in sports, he just turned and laughed at me, told me that it was a ridiculous thought and that he wouldn't allow a member of the Takahashi family to do such a 'working class' job as my dad calls it. My mother agrees with practically everything he says, even though she would give me more attention than my dad she still would break promises and depend on Sesshomaru for things that she could ask me. But no, I'm the delinquent in the family, I'm the black sheep who no-body wants because I'm the one who wants to be different." By this time Inuyasha had punched the ground causing his knuckles to bruise at the impact.
Kagome grabbed his hand causing Inuyasha to look at her with confusion in his amber iris's. Kagome gently grazed her thumbs over the bruise and looked up at Inuyasha "No Inuyasha, you aren't a delinquent, you aren't a black sheep, you are different, and believe me different is good." Kagome saw confusion still embedded in his eyes. "You aren't a delinquent you might not want to follow in your parents footsteps but that doesn't mean you are an outcast. If anything that is what most teenagers do now, they all chase their dreams, and if you want to become a basket player, or a coach of some sort, go for it. I know your parents love you and I know you know that to. So stop punching yourself for thinking that it's your fault that your parents might not spend time with you. Don't ever think they don't care about you."
Inuyasha sighed "Easy for you to say, at least you have family that love you, that are willing to visit you every week-end mine just don't care"
Kagome bit her bottom lip and knew that maybe...just as he told her his life story, she could do the same. Kagome sat back down next to Inuyasha letting go of his hand gently "You know..." Inuyasha moved his ears to show that he was listening "...you know the family I see every week-end are not my biological family" Inuyasha's head shot up as his eyes were wide, his body frozen and his mind confused.
"W-What?"
Kagome smiled sadly "They died when I was 5. They were involved in a car crash one day when I was over at a friend's house at the time, my mum, dad, little brother, and grandfather all died on the free way by a drunk driver, dubbing me as an orphan." Kagome said sadly. Although it was a sad memory, she had gotten over the tears, knowing that her family were looking down at her and smiling at the happy life she had after the incident. Knowing that they were proud of her.
Inuyasha was shocked. H-He never would have thought that Kazuki, one of his good friends, and room-mate was an orphan at 5. Here he was whining about his life for the past half hour, however he still had all his family, whilst Kazuki had lost his at a small age. Inuyasha felt horrible now for talking low about his family when his friend had none at all. "I'm so sorry"
Kagome smiled and nodded "Oh it's no big deal, I got over it. I was adopted shortly after anyway"
Inuyasha smiled "That's good, so the people you visit now are your adoptive parents" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome nodded "Even though they aren't related by blood to me, they still treat me as one of their own children, so I think of them as my new family, my new start at life"
Inuyasha did something he never thought he would ever do to a man. He got up and lent Kazuki a hand, and once he felt his small hand in his one he brought him close and hugged him.
Kagome was wide-eyed to say the least, she was shocked. Inuyasha...was hugging her? Kagome didn't know what to do, she just kept feeling Inuyasha put his forehead on her shoulder. She felt so happy, she loved his muscled arms around her pulling her tightly into a hug. She never had this feeling with Koga because she was the one to always make the effort. She liked it when she was taken by surprise. And god Inuyasha's smell of axe was getting to her as she felt his chest rumble against hers. Kagome had to be careful not to get too close as so he couldn't feel the FTM binder. Kagome heard him sigh and she smiled a little before raising one arm and patting his back as she whispered in his ear "I am always here for you. No matter what happens I am always here."
Inuyasha took one deep breath before moving back, he cleared his throat as he scratched his head "Sorry about that shorty. C-Come on let's get going" However once Inuyasha turned around to walk to the entrance he felt water on his back, he turned around to see Kazuki laughing as he fell to the floor. That's when Inuyasha realised...the bet.
"Y-You lo-lo-lost hahaha!" Kagome said laughing hysterically. Kagome had brought the water gun in hope of cheering up Inuyasha, when she remembered the bet and knew that this was her opportunity.
Inuyasha groaned and rubbed his face "Why god why!" Inuyasha however smirked and laughed lightly as he walked back and placed his arm around his room-mates shoulders "Well guess I owe ya two favours now. Which one do you pick option A or option B?"
Kagome thought for a moment before answering "Neither, I'll save both of them now"
Inuyasha's eyes widened a little "God I'm scared for why you'll save them"
Kagome laughed "Don't worry I'm not that mean"
Inuyasha smirked "I know you aren't shorty. You aren't mean your just short"
Kagome puffed her cheeks as they were both walking out of the school building from the roof. "Well you aren't funny your just arrogant" Kagome stuck her tongue out and when she turned she bumped into someone and fell to the floor hitting her behind hard on the concrete. She cursed and looked to see who it was before noticing it was..."Sango? Sango!" Kagome stood up and embraced her sister quickly laughing as she felt Sango embrace her back tightly. Kagome then heard a cough behind her and remembered Inuyasha, and tried to compose herself from jumping.
Kagome turned to Inuyasha "Oh Yasha, meet my girlfriend Sango, Sango Inuyasha"
Sango eyes Kagome weirdly before remembering the ordeal that occurred last month. She smiled and took out her hand for Inuyasha to shake "Hi pleasure to meet you, I'm Sango" Sango then wrapped on arm around Kagome's waist and she did the same, then Sango pecked her cheek once.
Inuyasha nodded as he shook her hand then saw the small lovey dovey scene. "It's nice to meet you, I'm his room-mate. Shorty's told me a lot about you"
Kagome groaned and punched his shoulder playfully "Mou why do you have to call me shorty all the blooming time!"
Inuyasha chuckled "And why not you call me arrogant, so I have the right to call you whatever I want, right shorty" Inuyasha said ruffling his hair.
Kagome blushed at the contact. God no matter how many times he ruffled her hair-wig- she still got butterflies. Sango eyed them both and noticed how both of them looked much closer than just room-mates. Sango mentally smiled 'She soooo likes him! Oh Kaggie'
Kagome then looked around and asked Sango "Hey where's Jay?"
Sango turned her head "He's here..." Sango turned around and couldn't fin him "I don't know, he was here"
Inuyasha was confused feeling a little left out "Um, who's Jay"
Kagome smiled "Oh Jakotsu, we call him Jay, well he's one of me and Sango's long time friends. He's gay but he's awesome"
Inuyasha nodded with an 'oh'
"Well I'm here sugar!"
Kagome smiled and turned around, but before she could hug him like she did Sango, she composed her self and grabbed his hand before tapping his shoulder "Hey what's up Jay"
Jakotsu smiled, liking how she didn't lose character. 'Good, she's getting better by the day' "I'm fine man, Sango told me about the Halloween festival and I just had to come along to see you. How's everything going?"
Kagome smiled "Everything's fine. Inuyasha here helped me out a lot."
Jakotsu turned to Inuyasha, and saw him smile at Kagome. 'Ah, so this is the famous Inuyasha eh? He's not bad looking, better than Koga for sure. Oh Kaggie please be careful' Jakotsu stuck out his hand with a smile "Hey I'm Jakotsu, but you can call me Jay."
Inuyasha smiled "Inuyasha"
Sango grabbed Kagome's hand and coughed "Well Kazuki where are the rest of your friends" Sango then ran up her hand to Kagome's chest. And Kagome realised she had to act the part so she put her hand on her hip and pushed her closer to her body.
"Inuyasha where did Koga and-"
"Hola mi amigos!" Miroku said wearing a scary mask on his head and when he saw Sango. God did he fall from heaven and landed in heaven plus one! God the girl next to Kazuki was hot!. He ran to her and grabbed her hand before bending on one knee "My dear you are so radiant, will you do the honours of bearing my child"
Kagome tried hard not to laugh, however Sango balled up her hand and punched Miroku in the face "Get away you PERVERT! Plus I'm Kazuki's girlfriend dumb ass"
Kagome sweat dropped 'God Sango and her anger'
Jakotsu was thinking along the same lines. However he spotted Koga in front of them who came along with this Miroku person and growled low as he glared. Sango looked up from the unconscious Miroku and noticed Koga was there laughing along with Inuyasha as they saw the unconscious Miroku. 'That little! Sango was about to beat him up but was held back by Jakotsu and she turned to him to only see his head shake then tilted it to Kagome. Sango remembered she had to play her role and huffed. However too bad Koga knew who Sango was.
Koga looked up and saw a girl he never thought he'd see in a while "Hey Sango, what are you doing here"
Sango smiled "I'm here to support my man." Sango grabbed Kagome and kissed her on the cheek by the corner of her lips. Kagome smiled as she went along. Koga and Inuyasha were a little awkward with the forwardness of the so called 'couple' and Koga began talking again, however his eyes down to the ground. "S-So, How's uh Kagome?"
Inuaysha's ears perked up at the name "Kagome? Isn't she your ex? How does Sango know her"
Koga shrugged "Sango's her sister"
Inuyasha 'ohed' and Kagome's eyes went wide. 'Shit, please, please, please Buddha let this day end quickly.'
Sango glared at him before answering "She's doing fine, she's interested in someone else, and has forgotten all about you. And don't get me started"
Koga sighed "Look I know I don't deserve to know, but who does Kagome like"
Inuyasha was intrigued. Did his friend still have feelings for the beauty he remembered.
Sango huffed "Your right you don't deserve to know. She has gotten over you, I thought you did too, seeing as how easily you dumped her."
Koga nodded his head once "I guess so."
Kagome bit her bottom lip trying her best not to scream for Koga and Sango to shut up both. Miroku woke up soon after, and as the day progressed, Sango, Kagome, Jakotsu, Miroku, Koga and Inuyasha were all playing the games and earning gifts. Kagome and Sango acted more like friends than a pretend couple, however Inuyahsa would always look at her, and whenever she caught his gaze she would blush and get teasing looks from both Sango and Jakotsu. Miroku apologised million times to Kagome, who just smiled and shook her head. Heck probably after all this she could say she broke up with Sango and set Miroku and her up one day. Hey, who know it could happen. Koga was mostly sulking during the day, however he did talk about Ayame and how he had given up on her fully, Inuyasha and Miroku both consoling their friend. Kagome mainly snorted and carried on enjoying her day, they bumped into Kohaku and Hojo and soon it was time for the fireworks. It was night time now, and most people and visitors went behind the school to the field where the fireworks were taking place. The line went from Jakotsu who sat next to Sango who sat next to Kagome who was next to Inuyasha who was next to Koga then went Miroku along with Kohaku and Hojo.
They all enjoyed the fireworks and once it started she smiled at the sky seeing all the lights explode in groups and how all the colours made a pattern. She always loved fireworks, it was one thing she loved to see at the end of the festivals. She secretly took a glance at Inuyasha, and saw how the colours of yellow and white and red and green illuminated on his perfect skin. She sighed dreamily, and without realising she inched closer and gently tapped his hand with hers. Inuyasha felt this and put his hand on top of his room-mates to let him know he accepted the comfort. Inuyasha then let go of his hand as he wrapped his arms around his legs smiling at the sky. Kagome did the same however her eyes were not on the fireworks.
They were on the person who lit the fire in her.
They were on Inuyasha.
Sango and Jakotsu waved goodbye to her and as she cried silently telling them both goodbye, it was 11:30 and it was time to get to the dorms. Kagome sighed and turned to see Inuyasha there waiting for her smiling, his arms crossed as he leaned against the gates of the entrance "Come on shorty. Let's go." Inuyasha said inclining his head to the entrance. Kagome smiled and ran to catch up to him, both smiling as they headed back from a long tiring day.
Hey guys ^^ Thank you all so much for your reviews. I was happy to get 170 odd. I just really hope that this chapter could bump me up to 190, or even 200 if I'm lucky :P Anyway, It took me while to update because I didn't want to rush this, I wanted to make sure every thing was perfect and, I wanted to kind of bring in Sango and Jakotsu in to meet the gang in Fukuoka so the scenes could change and it wasn't the same scenario over again. Okay guys anyway they are getting much closer, and the next chapter will be up hopefully as soon as I can finish writing it.
Remember more reviews the faster the update. They just give me more confidence to carry on :P Even though I like writing the story, the reviews let me know that you guys are enjoying it ^.^
