Chapter 16: The first game part II, and Kikyo's suspicion.

Inuyasha grabbed the ball as it flew into the air, and smacked it harshly as he passed it to Miroku. Miroku grabbed the ball quickly and started to dribble as he ran to the left side of the court which was where their goal was, before jumping a little and passing it to Koga who was closer to the hoop. He grabbed it before throwing it to another player, however it was snatched by the other team, and Koga cursed. Inuyasha however ran and managed to steal the ball from the guy and successfully managed before running to the left side and instead of passing it, he took the chance and jumped up throwing the ball to the hoop. He fell to the ground and the ball went through.

"ONE POINT FOR THE LYNX'S!" The commentator announced as he change the track score.

Inuyasha smiled and high-fived his team players. He then turned to see Kagome smiling and clapping as she cheered. Inuyasha winked and noticed Kagome blush before she bit her bottom lip and winked back. Inuyasha smiled, and Koga noticed this, and turned to the direction. He hen saw Kagome wink at his best friend, and blood boiled through his veins. How dare she! Koga saw Inuyasha walk away as he cheered and waved at the crowd. Koga was suspicious and kept looking at Kagome, hating that she wasn't cheering for him like she had always done like a good girl. No she was now rooting for his fucking best friend, ignoring him completely. Was Sango telling him the truth, did Kagome truly forget about him? Impossible, Kagome loved him too much, she was always his puppy who he could do whatever he wanted with. However she never wanted to go any further than make-out sessions, and he wanted more. He heard the whistle and the game began, he would keep an eye out throughout the game.

"READY...GO!" The referee blew the whistle as he threw the ball in the air again. Inuyasha successfully smacking the ball hard passing it to a team player. He then ran to the left and side and waved his arms blocking the other players before he saw Miroku with the ball and yelled at him to pass it. Miroku passed the ball however he got tripped by the player from the opposite team.

The referee blew the whistle "Foul!"

Kagome took this as a chance to escape quickly and politely asked bystanders in the crowd to move. Once she was out of the crowd she heard the whistle get blown again and saw Inuyasha occupied. She quickly ran towards the doors of the changing rooms and saw Kohaku there. She grabbed his head and kissed his forehead before grabbing her clothes. "Thank you Kohaku." Kagome ran to the changing rooms and quickly put her jeans on, as she stuffed her skirt, making it really uncomfortable but she just simply had no choice. She then took of her cardigan and put on her shirt and hoodie, then quickly rolled up her hair in a bun and placing it in the wig. She then stuffed her cardigan in the bag, and ran out passing it to Kohaku.

"I'll be back in another 10."

Kohaku nodded "I'll be here sis, don't worry."

Kagome nodded. And ran, however she knew she couldn't be in the same place as before and so instead was on the bottom level of the bleachers without a seat, however she still cheered and clapped happily as she shouted his name. Inuyasha heard his name being called out by a specific person, and turned to see Kazuki there shouting and cheering. Inuyasha smirked and dribbled the ball before jumping and slamming it into the basket. Kazuki screamed "GO INUYASHA! WOOOO"

"AND YET ANOTHER POINT FOR THE LYNX'S BY THE NUMBER ONE PLAYER INUYASHA TAKAHASHI"

Inuyasha waved and winked, he tried to find Kagome, however he simply shrugged thinking he couldn't locate her again. He then looked at Kazuki and saw him give him a thumbs up and a big smile. Inuyasha grinned and nodded. He then turned around and saw Koga didn't come up to him like he usually did after scoring. Instead he saw him with his arms crossed glaring into the crowd. Inuyasha was confused and furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. However he simply started running to the centre again.

It was 20 minutes into the game, and Kagome ran back to the changing room in order to change back once again. Kohaku like before was there waiting for her. And Kagome got changed into her feminine clothes once again.

However what she didn't realise was that a certain someone was closely looking at the interactions between her and Inuyasha. Kikyo had been one row above Kagome as she had recognised her in the crowd. She never liked the girl, however sh didn't expect to see her on the side of the lynx's, and never would she have thought that she'd be calling Inuyasha's name. Kikyo however saw her run out of the bleachers heading somewhere. However she turned and saw Inuyasha looking for someone. Kikyo was furious was he trying to find HER. That Kagome...freak! When SHE was right there waiting on him hand and foot, yeah she might have cheated on him, but no-one was allowed to have her Inu-baby. Soon however she saw that same girlish boy that she had met that time in the cafe.

Ah what was his name...Kazu...Kazo...Kauk...Kazuki. That was it! Kikyo noticed that day, how Inuyasha was attatched to Kazuki. But where was Kagome? She had just disappeared. Kikyo however saw Inuyasha score another goal, and how he smiled at Kazuki with warm eyes he used to show her. Kikyo grumbled. What the hell was so special about Kagome, and that Kazuki freak. Kikyo eyed Kazuki as she saw him run again. Kikyo creased her eyebrows, however she tried to let her confusion slide for now.

Kagome came back with her female clothes, and asked some people to move so she was in the same place she was before. 'I'm amazed at how I could even remember!'

Kagome saw how the game was going, and noticed that Koga had the ball and how Inuyasha was free and yelled at him to throw the ball. Koga however looked at the crowd and then she saw his gaze land on her. Kagome's eyes widened as her breath stopped. Kagome saw the anger and evil in them, as he narrowed his pupils at her. Kagome whimpered a little but then realised that she had no reason to cower away, she wasn't with him any more, so what gave him the right to glare at her. Kagome glared right back and then she saw how Koga showed her a little of his fangs as he gave a sinister smirk, before finally throwing the ball to Inuyasha. Kagome felt a shiver run down her spine as she saw the anger in his eyes. She had never seen him like that.

Ever.

Inuyasha ont he other hand noticed the delay, and the slight anger that he smelt from Koga, before realising that he was looking straight at Kagome. Inuyasha was getting pissed of now. He saw how Koga growled a little showing his fangs, and knew that in demon terms it meant some evil. Inuyasha glared and growled himself, he knew Koga heard him as he turned his head towards him and glared before throwing the ball. Miroku who was in the middle with the other players realised this silent argument between eye contact, and was slightly worried.

Inuyasha dribbled the ball and jumped up before dunking the ball into the hoop once again, not giving the other team any chance.

"AND ANOTHER ONE FOR THE LYNX'S. 3 NIL!" The commentator said.

The referee blew his whistle and then raised his arms above his head, dropping the whistle from his mouth. "HALF-TIME!"

Inuyasha and the rest of the team were walking towards the benches, and turned his head to glare at Koga, who in return glared back. Inuyasha showed a little of his fangs before heading towards the bleachers in hopes of seeing Kazuki there as well as Kagome. However he only spotted Kagome, and took another quick glance at Koga before smirking a little before running up the steps separating two sets of bleachers, and shouted Kagome's name.

"Kagome!"

Kagome smiled and scooted between the fan of girls and even some guys who were squealing. Kagome saw Inuyasha outstretched his hand for her, as she noticed how he was slowly growling and glaring at all the stupid girls clinging onto him. Kagome grabbed the hand thankfully and then felt him pull her towards him, and Kagome squealed as she fell against his chest, Inuyasha's arms wrapping around her waist in return. Most girls groaned and hissed as they glared at Kagome. Kikyo included who was glaring harshly at the couple. 'Kagome, who would have ever thought you'd actually be a problem, and when you'd don't to Kurin any more. Hm, fishy.' Kikyo saw another team member glare at the couple, and remembered seeing him outside of the school as he claimed to wait for Kagome.

Oh right that was Kagome's boyfriend. Kikyo smirked evilly as she saw him glaring at the couple. 'Guess he's not happy about this either. Very interesting'

Kagome smiled and squealed as Inuyasha ran down the stairs to get away from the screaming fans, and lead her outside the gym into the cold air of the winter. Kagome started to shiver as she only had a cardigan on, and her legs bare. Inuyasha turned to see her shivering and quickly realised the cold. He cursed and then had an idea. "Kagome follow me."

Kagome shivered however followed Inuyasha as his warm hand grasped hers, radiating his warmth into her palm. Kagome smiled softly but still quivered a little in the harshness of the cold. She then saw them walk into the school, which was free as everybody was either at home or watching the game, she then saw him lead her to an empty room, knowing it was the English room however she had to act as if she knew nothing. She was grateful for the sudden warmth that pooled her body, allowing her to sigh in relief. She then saw Inuyasha sit on a chair, however she was walking near the white board and looked around trying to pretend as if she couldn't see anything.

"Wow this is nice? What is this room used for?" 'Nice one Kagome...N-Nice one.'

Inuyasha smiled "An English room. But me and by buddy Kazuki hang out here sometimes." Inuyasha missed his friend terribly, and wanted to see him the minute he entered the gym. What if he was trying to look for him and he had left to go to the English room...Inuyasha felt bad now, but knew that Kazuki was with Miroku and Koga so he was fine.

Kagome smiled as she grabbed a white board pen. Inuyasha saw this and smiled "What are you doing?"

Kagome giggled as she wrote on the board (Lynx's 3 VS Shiko's 0) Inuyasha smiled and laughed as Kagome turned around. "I think you should be very proud of this little number for it just being the first half."

Inuyasha nodded "Feh I knew I would achieve something like that anyway."

Kagome laughed "Oh you Mr. arrogant." Kagome's eyes instantly widened as she covered her mouth quickly. 'Shit, oh my god shit! shit! shit! What have I done!'

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow and tilted his head "How do you know that nickname?"

Kagome stuttered for a bit before composing herself "I uh...h-heard it from Kazuki when I saw him with Sango one time." 'Okay better than nothing'

Inuyasha simply nodded not really thinking much into it. "Well that's understandable he'd call me that. He started to call me that when I called him shorty. He wasn't really happy about that nick name. But I think it suits him."

Kagome smiled and went to sit down on a chair next to Inuyasha "So you sure your coach would like for you to be here and not in the gym listening to his orders?" she said trying to change the subject.

Inuyasha smirked "Keh, that coach trusts me enough to not do anything stupid." Inuyasha then remembered Koga and instantly growled.

Kagome was taken aback "You okay Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha stopped his growling and sighed "Koga was looking at you. And I saw you look at him too."

Kagome's heart stopped, she never thought he noticed. She sighed as she looked down at her lap "Yeah I know, he didn't seem to happy to see me here tonight."

Inuyasha growled again and grabbed Kagome's hands that were on her lap, and looking into her eyes. "Kagome, I don't want you to ever feel intimidated by him okay." Inuyasha looked down "I know...it must be hard to forget him...but please don't allow him to ruin our friendship over something that was his fault."

Kagome nodded and held onto his own hands intertwining them "Inuyasha I have forgotten about him. I have, I've stopped hurting because of him, and I would never allow him to run my life." 'Because I have you now. Even if it's for a little bit. I have you now.'

Inuyasha smiled "Good." He then remembered their hands and blushed as he separated them. Kagome blushed too, but was used to the intimate act multiple times he had helped her up from the ground. And it was true, oh how true that statement was. He had helped her of the ground. He had helped her get past her emotional stress with Koga, and Kagome knew that by the end of this fake life style he was going to get hurt. However she tried her best not to think about that time. And instead wanted to enjoy the small moments like these until she could. Kagome smiled sadly and this didn't go unnoticed by her hanyou friend.

Inuyasha saw her expression and was instantly worried "Kagome, what's wrong?"

Kagome looked up at him and smiled sadly. "Hm, nothing. Come on the second half is about to start soon." Kagome said smiling.

Inuyasha blushed and nodded as he jumped up happily "Alright lynx's for the win!"

Kagome laughed and both teens ran out of the English room and headed towards the gym. Once they were there the coach took Inuyasha quickly so he could tell him the plan, and scold him for missing the whole conversation. Kagome laughed and waved. Once Inuyasha was distracted she ran towards the changing room where she saw Kohaku talking to Sango and Jaykotsu. Kohaku spun to her direction and smiled "Okay now I think is best if you change into Kazuki twice in this half and Kagome once."

Kagome nodded and quickly changed into her female clothes.

Sango was wide eyed as she shook her head "How does she manage this."

Jakotsu leaned against the wall as he tilted his head back to touch the wall behind him. 'Not easily Sango. Not easily.'

Soon Kagome was ready, and everybody went back into their place except for Kohaku who sat down in a chair watching the game by the changing rooms. He honestly never thought this would be what he was going to be doing the minute he woke up this morning. Kagome looked behind her and felt sorry for Kohaku and knew that she had to pay him back in some way. She owed him a lot. Kagome reached her place at the bottom of the bleachers and when she was stable she shouted Inuyasha's name.

"Mr. Arrogant!"

Or close too it.

Inuyasha turned around and smiled as he jogged over to his room-mate and friend. "Yo Kazuki where have you been?"

Kagome then began to speak "I uh...went to get a drink with Kohaku."

Inuyasha nodded "Oh Kohaku right. Well I was with Kagome, she's..." Inuyasha looked around and couldn't find her. "I can't seem to...find her."

Kagome had to think quickly and tapped his arm "Look don't worry I'm sure she's here."

Inuyasha simply nodded and turned to hear a whistle. "OKAY EVERYBODY TIME FOR THE SECOND HALF. SO FAR IT'S LYNX'S 3 SHIKO'S 0. LET'S SEE IF THE SHIKO'S COULD BEAT THE LYNX;S IN AN HOUR. PLAYERS CENTRE POSITION."

Inuyasha fist bumped his hand with Kazuki and ruffled his hair quickly, and left with a smirk on his face, and stood in the middle facing a similar guy to before.

Kagome was busy looking as the match started to notice that a certain person was behind her. "Well well well, look who I see again. Kazuki is it not?"

Kagome turned around to see Kikyo clad in a short black mini skirt, black stilettos and a red tube top, chewing gum. Kagome answered "Y-Yeah, uh you must be Kinky-ho something like that."

Kikyo scowled as she heard the name Kazuki had said. "You must seem to be an idiot if you can't remember a simple name."

Kagome glared. She hated Kikyo,, and more so after what she found out what she had done to Inuyasha. No way was she going to treat this woman with loyalty after brekaing an innocent guys heart. "Well it might not be the case if the woman was not dressed like an easy target to blow up."

Kikyo glared "Listen here you, Inuyasha was my boyfriend for a year, we all make mistakes and frankly I don't care what you think, because int he end of the day Inuyasha is mine, and will be mine."

Kagome glared even more as she realised that Inuyasha was playing phenomenally and she was missing it. "You won't go any where near him if I have anything to say about it."

Kikyo smirked as she huffed "we'll see about that Don't think that just because you are close to Inuyasha that you or that pesky little Kagome can take him away from me. He was mine, and he will always be mine."

Kagome smirked "Well how can be yours when you aren't his? It's not a one way cycle. Inuyasha has feelings also, and he wants a committed relationship, not sloppy seconds. Now if you'll excuse me I want to cheer on my friend on. Because you know that's what he deserves. So go back to your little street corner and leave him alone." Kagome then turned back around not noticing Kikyo's glare.

'Your hiding something Kazuki, and you are connected to Kagome somehow. I just now it!'

As Inuyasha was dribbling the ball he heard some of his team mates yelling at him to throw the ball, however as he was about to throw it to Miroku, Koga ran and took the ball before dribbling it again and shooting then missing.

The referee blew the whistle "FOUL FOR THE LYNX'S! DOUBLE DRIBBLING AND FORCEFULLY STEALING A BALL FROM A PLAYER."

Inuyasha glared and turned to him before shouting "What the fuck is wrong with you Koga, you made us get a foul!"

Koga growled "Deal with it mutt face."

Inuyasha glared "What did you just say?"

Koga glared back "I called you a mutt-face."

Inuyasha growled again but then heard the referee blow the whistle as it was the other teams turn to throw the ball since it was a foul on their part. Inuyasha huffed and walked to the sidelines to continue the game.

Kagome noticed the little incident with Koga, and felt like punching him for making the Lynx's gain the first foul in the history of Fukuoka High. She wondered what the hell got into him. However she then noticed how he and Inuyasha were not really discussing with manners of friendship either. Kagome got worried and scared when she saw hatred in Inuyasha's eyes.

'Inuyasha?'

Soon the second half of the game was done. And the score was 5 nil. Inuaysha cheered happily, and turned to the crowd to see Kazuki run up to him. Kagome jumped up and hugged him tightly before letting him go and laughing happily "You did it Inuyasha! Well done."

Inuyasha grinned and ruffled Kazuki's hair. "Thanks man, for being there for me."

Kagome smiled and held his arm before squeezing it a little " Don't thank me. Your my friend, friends stick to each other no matter what." Kagome said grinning happily.

Inuyasha laughed gently and ruffled his hair once more. However he didn't see any sign of Kagome any where. Kagome realised this and answered "If you're looking for Kagome she told me to tell you well done, but she had to go home." 'God it seriously feels weird talking about yourself.'

Inuyasha oohe'd and was a little disappointed but was happy anyway that she had at least saw him play. Inuyasha smirked and then saw Koga growl at him as he bumped into his shoulder then he spoke "Follow me. Alone." Koga stated before going out the back doors of the gym.

Inuyasha growled but followed. Kagome was scared and grabbed his arm "Inuyasha what's wrong? Where are you going?"

Inuyasha turned and ruffled her hair once more this time much slower and gentler. He smiled at her and Kagome almost melted "I'll be back soon shorty, wait for me int he dorm okay?" And with that he walked of. However Kagome couldn't help it. She was so frightened that he was going to get hurt and decided to follow him secretly.

Inuyasha was outside with Koga and growled as the cold air blew on his sweaty skin. Inuyasha's gorgeous silver hair blew and shone against the moon and air. He looked at Koga and saw his eyes that looked as if they could kill.

Inuyasha spoke first "What the fuck do you want this time Koga?"

Koga gave an evil smirk "Kagome used to always come the matches every year. I'm amazed she even came this year..." Koga lost his smirk "...for your sake."

Inuyasha stiffened, and growled lightly. Koga was his friend, but now he was a pitiful bastard. He dumped Kagome cold heartedly for no apparent reason, however whenever he is alone and wants company he talks about Kagome like a tool? No fucking way. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes a little "Maybe you shouldn't have let her go, then maybe she would be here cheering you on."

Kagome by now was positioned against the door as she hid herself, listening onto the discussion.

Koga's eyes darkened "And why should you care. Don't tell me the girl you've met every week-end is..."

Inuaysha shrugged, and Kagome was wide-eyed. She saw both men tense up as Inuyasha defended her, but Koga almost seemed threatening. That's because he was. Kagome saw Inuyasha walk up closer to him "I met her one Saturday, she was sad, she was alone, and she wanted a friend she could confide in. And I think she has every right to be friends with me."

Koga growled and his pupils dilated as they were nose to nose, both men giving off dangerous predatorial auras, that confused the class, whilst Kagome was there shocked, she had never thought it would come this far. Never, had she thought it could go this far. 'Oh god'

"Actually there is a problem, why are you fucking talking to her anyway, you know what we were." Koga said fisting his hands.

Inuyasha fisted his own as his voice got deeper and his anger was slowly rising to the surface at hearing his friends arrogant words. Inuyasha pierced his gaze with Koga's. "I know what you were. But who's fault is it that she is paying more attention to me than to you eh?" Inuyasha said not caring any more about being worried over showing his feelings towards Kagome. That girl to him was an angel, and seeing Koga degrade her to an object boiled his inside to no end, he knew he was pushing it, but he didn't care. He was sick of Koga's fucking excuses and stupid slide comments to give a damn any more.

Koga growled louder and his fists were shaking as his teeth were slowly being bared "Shut the fuck up. Do you think what you're doing is better, your just meeting her because you want to fuck her now that she's vulnerable." Koga said harshly.

Kagome gasped as she covered her mouth with her hand as she saw Inuyasha grab Koga by the front of his T-shirt and slam him against the ground.

Inuyasha growled as he slammed his best friend to the ground "No Koga, the one who wanted to fuck her but didn't get the chance to was your sorry piece of shit ego. But she was an honest, innocent girl who wanted someone to treat her with the respect that she deserves, but if anybody was sick and twisted it was you!"

Koga growled and kicked Inuyasha in the chest as he jumped up and punched him int he face, Inuyasha side stepping in time. Koga growled as he turned around to his friend "How the fuck do you know, you know nothing! Your just a sorry dog that's going after seconds!"

Kagome was on the verge of tears now, she didn't know what to do, she never thought about this. She never thought about Koga's actions and what his behaviour would be like once he found out about the visits she and Inuyasha were having during the week-end. However she wasn't going to cry, she wasn't going to be that stupid scared little girl any more she would stop this.

Inuyasha went to punch Koga but saw he side-stepped also, then he turned around ready to kick him square in the face seeing Koga fall to the ground "Don't you ever dare talk about Kagome like that! She is a decent, honourable girl and you were just a jerk that she fell for. Well guess what, I don't fucking care how long you guys have been dating, because I know that I can treat her like the man she wants! With some fucking respect and common sense!" Inuyasha went to punched him square in the jaw.

Koga spat out some blood before getting out of Inuaysha's way and running up to him "Shut up dog breath! You are just a lonely boy who can't get a decent girlfriend without fucking it up, look at Kikyo, if your such a man then why did she leave you huh?!"

Inuyasha growled harshly, his demon side rattling in its inner cage, wanting to be set free to kill the man who dared talk so lowly about him and Kagome. Inuyasha growled and both were rolling on the floor punching and kicking and growling as they fangs were bared and nails were spread. "Shut the fuck up wolf-shit, I could give two rats ass about Kikyo. You know why I know I'm man enough for her? Because I treat like a woman! And not some dumb object that you can show off and keep for company whenever the hell you feel like it! And trust me, I will make sure that she never see's your sorry behind again!" Inuyasha growled, and walked backwards slowly. "It's over Koga."

Koga growled "Not until Kagome's mine!"

Inuyasha growled back. "She isn't yours Koga. She never deserved to be yours and I will make sure she is never yours. Never again!" Inuyasha was about to lunge for him again when he saw a small frame intervene.

Inuyasha was confused, why the hell was Kazuki protecting the bastard? He then saw Kazuki turn to him his eyes sad and filled with desperation "Please Inuyasha..." Inuyasha's eyes widened as he had said his name for the first time in a while.

Kagome had seen enough, she couldn't believe how much passion Inuyasha was showing for her? For a simple plain jane Kagome? As she saw him fighting for her, she couldn't help but just run up to him, kiss him and just show him that she felt the same way, and that she wanted to be with him, and tell him that she'd always be there for him, and that she didn't care about her past, that she'd want to rekindle a fire that was once there. However she had other priorities at that moment, and one major priority was to make sure Inuyasha didn't have any regrets.

"Inuyasha please...please dont' do this. He deserves it but...don't turn into him."

Inuyasha was shocked. He felt his eyes turning to their normal amber and his fangs and claws were shortening in length. Damnit! Inuyasha jumped up and ran towards the dorm not looking back.

Kagome sighed internally 'Inuyasha!' And she ran for him. Leaving behind a bleeding and angry Koga.

Koga growled 'You will pay for betraying me like that Inuyasha! I promise you that!'

No one knew that a certain someone with blood-red lips heard the whole thing as she smoked a cigarette. Kikyo walked out into the scene and Koga turned as he growled at her. "Kikyo, what the fuck do you want!"

Kikyo smirked as she licked her lips and bent down to Koga's form, taking a puff of her cigarette before slowly sliding her hands down his chest seductively. "I have a proposition, that I think you'll like." Kikyo said smirking.

'Oh yes, a very nice proposition.' She thought happily.
