Chapter 17: A kiss on the cheek

Kagome ran to the dorms to try and find Inuyasha, however he wasn't there and Kagome worried as she turned her head and started running towards the field, he wasn't there either. Kagome looked around as she was panting, she wiped her forehead with her arm and bent over to place her hands on her knees as she took deep breaths trying to ease her racing heart. Where could he be. Kagome was so worried she just felt like crying, yet she knew she had to be strong and guys never cried, no matter how worried she was she didn't want her cover to be discovered so easily. Kagome kept breathing harshly as she thought over and over about where he could be. Then it hit her.

The roof.

Kagome stood up and ran back towards the roof. She looked up at the school roof and noticed a few strands of silver flowing against the darkness of the night sky. Kagome bit her lip as she ran even faster pushing herself harder than ever before to comfort the man who had slowly healed her heart. Once Kagome got to the stairs, she jumped them two by two, panting hard she leaned forward and leaned her hands on her knees, before slamming the door open and seeing Inuyasha turn around his eyes a mixture of amber and red, and his face angry and shocked.

"K-Kazuki, w-what are you doing here?"

Without thinking Kagome ran up to him and before she knew it she wrapped her arms around him. "Inuyasha...I was so worried."

Inuyasha's eyes widened, he was so shocked he couldn't say anything, his mouth felt as if it was sewn shut, and his arms were idle by his body. Inuyasha bent down and laid his forehead on Kazuki's shoulder.

"Why?... why did I do that Kazuki?"

Kagome sighed and kept hugging him, not realising how she was acting. Kagome sighed and embraced him tighter "You didn't have a choice-"

"Yes I did, I just beat up my best friend! And all because of a...fucking amazing girl!" Inuyasha said closing his eyes tightly and retreating from his room-mates comfortable hug. He walked near the edge and sighed as he crouched down, one arm leaned on a knee as the other was on the floor holding his balance. Kagome silently gasped as she saw just how beautiful he actually was. She noticed how his silver hair was out from its original pony tail and was swaying with the cold breeze of the night. His tanned skin and muscles out shinning and protruding with the gleam of the moon. His copper eyes looking straight forward, his posture dangerous yet unbelievably sexy. Kagome realised then, just how hard she had fallen for this man.

Kagome walked closer and crouched down next to him. Kagome turned her head and looked ahead again "Sometimes, friends or even best friends aren't always in the good. Sometimes their horrible actions, opinions, or attitude, can be horrific. But as a friend...instead of ignoring that behaviour, you beat them to their senses, you tell them the cold hard truth and whether they believe it or not is their choice. I think, that what you did to Koga was just that."

Inuyasha sighed and tightened his fist "I promised myself." Inuyasha's fist was held so tightly that his hand shook a little. "I promised to never fall out with my friends over a girl. I always thought that there were plenty girls and limited friends. But..." Inuyasha didn't know what the hell to say after that, he just didn't know what to think any more. Why was Kagome different? Why did she make him feel so strongly about her?

Kagome's eyes widened a little and looked down to the ground, then back up again. "Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha turned to his room mate with sad and confused eyes. Kagome put her hand on his shoulder and felt the rough muscles underneath her fingers. She smiled sadly "Do you regretwhat you did?" Kagome saw his eyes widen a little before he turned his attention away to the horizon once again. Kagome however didn't stop looking at him. She couldn't he was her best friend to both Kazuki and Kagome. He was her crush and...her saviour. She decided to speak once again. "What you did...why did you do it?"

Inuyasha growled lightly "Because he spoke about Kagome as if she was a piece of rubbish. He insulted her, disrespected her and never cherished her the way she deserved to be cherished. He freely cursed about her as if she was nothing but an object. His true colours were shown, and I...I just hate that Kagome was spoken about like that!"

Kagome wanted to cry and almost did as she felt tears glaze in her eyes. Inuyasha smelled them and chuckled lightly as he brought up a thumb to his friends cheek. "Oi, your a man. Men don't cry."

Kagome smiled and laughed along "I guess I'm the acception to that rule then." She felt so touched. No-one, not even Koga had ever spoken of her in such a way, with so much honesty and compassion like Inuyasha had just done. He unknowingly proved, and showed her just how close he felt about her true identity. Her true self. He unknowingly showed her his will to fight for her if need be. He unknowingly allowed his obvious like towards her known tonight, and for him to talk to 'Kazuki' about herself so highly, made her feel special and...wanted for once in her life.

Come one she had just gotten told that she deserved to be respected. What woman wouldn't cry to a statement like that?

Inuyasha sighed and gave a sad smile. "I don't regret it."

Kagome looked at him and cocked her head to the side a little bit. "What do you mean?"

Inuyasha spoke again after looking up at the sky "I don't regret beating up Koga. Because I know now that...I probably punched some sense into him. And even though he had been my best friend since primary school, I can't...I could never imagine that I would have done what I did just now. But Kagome is unique she is..amazing she shouldn't have to be called all those fucked up things. I guess, my crush for her is stronger than I thought. And I don't know how to handle it I guess." Inuyasha said not thinking twice about what he had just confessed.

Kagome was confused, what could she say, she didn't know. She didn't know what to say to make him happy. There were no words she could think of that she could say, she was mainly shocked that he had said he like her MORE than a friend. Kagome looked to the ground as she felt a wave of desire overcoming her to just embrace him and to just kiss his sadness away. Oh god.

Inuyasha stood up and cleared his throat allowing Kagome to escape from her reverie as she looked up and saw Inuyasha looking at her and giving a small smile as he outstretched his hand "Come on its late, and I'm pretty sure you need to go back home since it's still the week-end." Inuyasha said looking sad.

Kagome felt her heart ache, but she had to go back home in order to not worry her parents. However she didn't want to leave him alone. Kagome took out her phone and Inuyasha was confused as he saw Kazuki dial a number and placing the phone to his ear.

Kagome turned around and heard Sango's voice appear.

"Hey Kag's where are you? we'll come pick you up. You just disappeared on us!" Sango's voice said worried and a little angry.

Kagome sighed "Sorry San, I was with Inuyasha. Listen can you tell mum and dad that I'm sleeping at THE dorms. You know the ones I'm talking about." Kagome said with her male voice. This indicated to Sango that Inuyasha was there and Kagome didn't want to blow her cover.

"Um okay but why do you want to stay at the dorms?"

Kagome looked at Inuyasha who had a confused look on his face. Kagome sighed and turned back around "Something came up, and I want to be with him, he feels a little down. Can you just tell mum and dad that I was tired and that since the dorms were closer I stayed there."

Sango understood that something but be wrong if Kagome wanted to stay during the week-end, and agreed before saying goodnight and ending the call. Kagome turned around and smiled "I guess your stuck with me for the rest of tonight eh?"

Inuyasha was surpirsed but grinned and ruffled Kazuki's hair again "Eh You ain't tha bad to be with shorty."

Kagome sighed and shook her head as they both walked towards the dorms "I wish you'd stop calling me that. Plus you owe me two favours you know."

Inuyasha smiled "So when you hoping to use them hm?"

Kagome smirked and tapped her nose "Surprise"

Inuyasha pouted and both students laughed and joked around as they sat down to watch TV and criticised films, or laughed at funny ones. Inuyasha turned to see Kazuki fell asleep as his head gently fell on his shoulder. Inuyasha chuckled quietly as he picked up the remote and switched the TV off. Inuyasha picked up his friend bridal style gently as to not jolt him or wake him up. He then walked over to the bottom half of the bunk beds and carefully opened the duvet covers slowly as he tried to balance both chores. Once he had the duvet open he then carefully placed Kazuki onto the mattress. 'De ja vu' Inuyasha thought. However this time Inuyasha tucked him in to make sure he wouldn't be cold in the winter weather. He saw Kazuki turn and grumble a little as he gently fell back to sleep. Inuyasha tried not to laugh as he saw his room-mate do this, and shook his head a little before taking of the lights and jumping onto his top bunk.

He was grateful that Kazuki had decided to stay. Inuyasha never knew just how attached he was to shorty. It was as if he had seen him before. His attitude and personality towards certain things and topics were so different compared to those usual opinions that the majority of the guys had. Inuyasha closed his eyes and sighed. He didn't know what to do about Koga though. If Kazuki hadn't stopped him he would probably be close to beating Koga unconscious.

Another debate. Kagome.

Inuyasha let out a slow breath, as he re-opened his eyes to come face to face with the ceiling. How did Kagome manage to grasp his trust and attention so easily. When he met Kagome at first he felt pity. Pity and sad that she was dumped in such a hard and cruel way, for a stupid reason. But now, he saw her differently. Now he saw her as a fragile girl- no woman, who needs to be with someone who could treat her like one. Inuyasha blushed as he pictured himself being that guy, but quickly shook his mind of that idea. He didn't want to move to fast, they had only been friend for nearly a month, and he knew that Kagome wouldn't be ready to jump into yet another relationship so fast.

God what was he saying, why was he even THINKING about a relationship. Before he could answer his eyes slowly close, his body exhausted and finally shutting of after a busy day.

It was currently the 21st of December a Sunday, and Inuyasha was waiting outside of a café, waiting for Kagome to appear. The weather was cold, not chilly, but cold, and it was predicted that it could snow today. However Inuyasha being the macho guy that he is huffed away the cold as he was clad in a long sleeve black shirt, with a leather jacket on top. He was also wearing black baggy jeans and comfortable timberland boots, that he had gotten from his rotten brother. Inuyasha always said feh o the scarf, gloves and hat. He didn't need them, it was wimpy to wear one anyway, just as it was wimpy to hold a umbrella during the rain. However he wouldn't mind if he had something to cover his sensitive ears. Even though they were in girls words 'cuite' they could get cold very easily.

Inuyasha tapped his foot against the wet ground as it had rained that morning. It was currently 2:00pm and he took out his phone to check the time and then looked right and left. However there was still no sign of Kagome. He looked down at his phone again and then felt a tap on his shoulder, he turned around and was surprised but quickly covered it up with a smile when he realised it was Kagome. "Your here."

Kagome nodded "Off course I'm here silly." Kagome was wearing a pair of black skinny jeans along with a mix of pink and white woolly jumper, adorned with a few threads of sparkle embedded. She then wore a long black coat that reached to her hips. Her hair was up in a bun and her make-up was light. To finish of she wore white and pink trainers, a pair of white gloves and a white scarf.

Inuyasha smiled a her attire. She looked perfect for this time of the year. Most girls he went out with always wore skimpy clothing no matter what weather. But Kagome was different, and he knew that. He cleared his throat and scratched the back of his neck "So um, where do you want to go?"

Kagome thought for a moment. There wasn't much you could do in this weather, other than to stay indoors. Kagome smiled as she had an idea "I know, how about the cinema. We can watch something whilst eating and out of the rain."

Inuyasha thought for a moment and then smirked "Okay, but no chick flicks alright." Inuyasha warned.

Kagome pouted "Aww not even if it has comedy in it?"

Inuyasha groaned "I guess, gosh you're a female version of Kazuki sometimes honestly." Inuyasha chuckled and saw Kagome blush a little as he grabbed her hand.

Kagome was about to say something but was cut of when she felt Inuyasha outstretch his hand to grab hers. Kagome felt butterflies in her tummy as her own hand gently clasped his gently. Inuyasha felt her response and blushed a bit more before they both headed towards the cinema.

Once they got there Kagome picked out movies which Inuyasha declined to every time for being to soppy or to fluffy and dramatic. Kagome pouted and pointed up to 'The Proposal' Inuyasha shrugged as there was nothing else to watch. Kagome dragged him towards the shop to order popcorn and drinks.

"What do you prefer salted or sweet?" Kagome asked him.

Inuyasha snorted "Salted definitely."

Kagome grinned "Me too I can't have anything other than salted. Sweet is too...bleh."

Inuyasha laughed "I never heard of a girl who called sweet bleh."

Kagome winked "Well I'm not like other girls am I." Kagome then turned to order, leaving an amused hanyou leaning against the wall.

'You definitely aren't Kagome' Inuyasha thought before seeing the large size box of popcorn in front of him. He grabbed it and smirked "Large size? I'm guessing Kazuki told you I eat a lot."

Kagome giggled "Yeah he did. So what do you want to drink?"

After ordering the drinks and a packet of sweets for Kagome, they both sat in the cinema at the back and laughed quietly as the annoying adverts were playing. A tampax advert came on and Kagome and most of the girls laughed as she heard Inuyasha and other boy men groaning and covering their eyes. Soon the movie started and Inuyasha thanked god that the film started. Halfway through the film Kagome was sad that she had finished her small-sized popcorn. She knew she had to buy a medium. Kagome glanced over at Inuyasha's half full box and sneakily as Inuyasha was actually interested in the film, her hand quietly and swiftly went to his box and took a popcorn, causing Inuyasha to look at her hand and cursed that he was too slow.

He turned to her "Give me it back." Inuyasha said playfully like a child.

Kagome giggled quietly and whispered "No, if you want it come and get it." Kagome then placed it on her lips and looked at him seeing the way his eyes widened a little. That's when Kagome realised just what she had said. "U-Uh or um-"

However she couldn't finish the sentence as Inuyasha's face inched closer to hers. Kagome could feel his breath on her lips and without meaning to she ate the popcorn causing Inuyasha to inch closer, his popcorn box forgotten. Inuyasha bent to her ear and whispered "Can't I have something better than popcorn?" Inuyasha asked teasingly.

Kagome donned a blush as she felt her heart beat quicken and her eyes half way open as her lips were parting and she took a small intake of breath as she felt one of Inuyasha's hands on her leg slowly and gently rising to her hip then her waist and further up to graze against her breast before placing it gently on her cheek. Inuyasha bent his head to the crook of her neck and shoulder and inhaled deeply. "God Kagome. You smell amazing." Kagome felt her body shiver at the tickling sensation on her neck.

Inuyasha felt his beast growl happily as he got close to Kagome. God her next was so soft, so tender he just wanted to suck on it and leave hickeys to let people know she wasn't free. Times like these he was so happy he beat Koga's ass. However, no matter how desperately he wanted to be close to Kagome as Koga had been for three years, he didn't want to rush her into anything too fast. But he couldn't help it, he just felt his face inch closer to her', his eyes closing slowly.

Kagome saw his lips part a little and his eyes close, she felt his lips graze hers, but before Inuyasha could ravish them they both noticed a tap on Inuyasha's shoulder. Inuyasha looked and saw a middle aged man.

"Will you two please be quiet, we are trying to watch a film."

Inuyasha saw the man go and his inner demon growled quietly but then he blushed as he turned back around. He noticed Kagome's blushing face and he in turn forgot about his slight anger and blushed also. Throughout the rest of the film, they both sat quietly and had the same thoughts running through their heads.

'What the hell was I just about to do?!'

Soon both Inuyasha and Kagome were walking back from the cinema, both still blushing and feeling a little awkward at the silence. Kagome bit her bottom lip and decided to be the first one to speak. "So uh...the filn was funny right? I thought it was, hahaha" Kagome laughed awkwardly.

Inuyasha stopped and grabbed Kagome's arm who was surprised at the sudden touch and was face to face with Inuyasha, whose eyes were boaring into hers. Inuyasha placed a hand on her cheek, and bent down so their foreheads were touching. "Kagome I'm so sorry. I know you aren't ready for this. And I can understand that you might not necessarily like me any more than a friend. But...I-I-I really like you, I like you so god damned much it hurts because every time I touch you or get close to you I think of that bastard all the time and I feel this force that's pushing me away from you. I just...I never wanted to make it awkward back there, but I sincerely like you and I...fuck I'm sorry Kagome." And with that Inuyasha was about to leave when he felt a hand touch his own.

He turned to see Kagome looking at the ground and biting her bottom lip "Would you walk me home?" Kagome asked. "I don't want you to leave."

Inuyasha's eyes widened but he simply smiled and nodded. Soon both teenagers walked back home and as Kagome was outside the door, she went on her tip toes and pecked Inuyasha's cheek quickly. "Thank you for today Inuyasha. I loved it, I hope we can meet soon." And with that Kagome smiled and ran inside with a wave before closing the door.

Inuyasha was stunned he stood there and raised a hand to gently place it on the cheek she had kissed. He smiled as if he was a young boy who just had his first crush acknowledge him. Inuyasha kept grinning as he stuffed his hands in his pockets and breathed out a sigh of happiness seeing the vapour in the air as the heat came out of his mouth. Inuyasha jumped once then twice and punched a hand in the air before running back to the dorms, not even Koga could mess up his day.

Kagome let out a deep breath and grinned like a mad girl as she waved hi at Kohaku, seeing that her parents weren't home yet. She then ran up the stairs. "Sango I'm back" Kagome entered the bedroom and saw Sango turn in her chair moving away from her laptop eating a cereal bar and smiling.

"Hey Kag's how was it?"

"Yeah sis how was it?" Kohaku intervened as he went and sat down on the bottom bed of the bunk.

Kagome giggled and kept jumping in joy and happiness. Forgetting all of her problems she just allowed the high from before to overpower her senses. And frankly she didn't care.

"Oh guy's it was amazing! We went to the cinema, then he tried to kiss me and he kept glancing at me throughout the film. We ate popcorn laughed and then he walked me home...aaaaand..." Kagome bit her bottom lip as she was apprehensive with maybe telling them what she did, would no doubt anger Sango.

Big time.

Both Sango and Kohaku leaned forward intrigued "Theeeeen?"

Kagome turned around and spoke very quickly "I then kissed him on the cheek!" Kagome closed her eyes and then slowly opened them to see Kohaku their laughing and making kissing noises, whereas Sango had, you guessed it...

A very annoyed, worried and pissed of face.

"Kagome, what the hell where you doing?! You know this is dangerous!" Sango shouted, not happy at all with the outcome of the so-called 'day out'

Kagome frowned "Sorry Sango, but exactly what the hell am I meant to do then! I don't know what to do! I'm stuck between two different life styles Sango. I...I like him so much." Kagome sighed heavily as she fell on her bed next to Kohaku and held her face in her hands. "I...I like him so much Sango, I just wanted to..." Kagome felt her chest tighten as a shower of emotions fell on her at that moment. Guilt, anger, sadness, fright, panic, frustration. She just felt like tearing her hair out as she allowed herself to feel al the bottled up emotions and worries.

Sango walked over to her sister and embraced her tightly as she let out a lone tear. "I'm so sorry Kagome. I know that I'm being harsh, but I really don't want you too get any more hurt than you are now."

Kagome nodded in Sango's shoulder and Kohaku frowned also and patted her back soothingly. "I'm pretty sure everything will work out. There is always a solution Kaggie."

Kagome looked into her hands as she thought.

But was there?

It was Monday, Christmas was right around the corner, and Kagome noticed lights decorating the whole of the outside of the building, hanging from the windows and a massive Christmas tree from what she could see in the foyer. Kagome had a lift from Jakotsu and once she unbuckled her seat belt she hugged him "Thank you Jay, I just..."

Jakotsu smiled and nodded stroking her hair "I understand hun, I understand. Just take it one step at a time, just remember what you went there for okay."

Kagome sighed and nodded as she looked out the car window and swallowed a lump in her throat. "Well guess I'll see you on Friday Jay." Kagome pecked his cheek quick and waved goodbye as Jakotsu left. She held her duffel bag in one hand and took a deep breath before walking into the gates and saying hi to a few people she recognised. She saw the dorm building and placed a smile on her face as she saw Hojo by the entrance. "Hojo!"

Hojo turned around and smiled as he saw Kagome. "Hey Kag-Kazuki!"

Kagome laughed "How was your week-end Hojo?" Kagome asked cheery trying to forget about her problems at that moment.

Hojo smiled and nodded "Good, it was fun cause I met up with some primary school friends. How about yours?"

Kagome tried to suppress her frown and nodded "It was good, I'll see you later Hojo, got to get changed."

Hojo furrowed his eyebrows knowing something was distinctly odd with her, but knew that maybe it wasn't helpful to talk about it right now. Hojo sighed and walked to his dorm to get ready himself. 'I hope you are okay Kagome'

Once Kagome entered the room she saw steam coming out from under the door of the bathroom, and instantly knew that Inuyasha must have been showering. "Hey I'm back!" Kagome shouted knowing he would hear.

"Yo shorty! I got news for you!" Inuyasha shouted from the bathroom.

Kagome froze, she kind of knew what his good knews would be, and tried her very bes to keep a happy face as she slapped her cheeks and took calming breaths. "Uh sure."

Inuyasha soon came out with only a towel wrapped around his waist. Kagome felt a huge blush overtake her cheeks, and Inuyasha took this as a sign of the heat comign from the shower. "Sorry about the amount of steam. I have something to tell you though." Inuyasha said smiling as he sat down on the sofa.

Kagome tried to ignore that a towel was all he was wearing! She cleared her throat and sat next to him, her hands fidgety as she pulled down her sleeves. "You look really happy, what's up?" Kagome said smiling.

Inuyasha blushed and rubbed his hands together "Well on Sunday I met up with Kagome." Kagome felt her stomach turn in a horrible way. She knew it was going to be about yesterday, but she tried not to show anything and just nodded. Inuyasha carried on "And basically...I almost kissed her in the cinema. I need to talk to you, cause I have no idea what the hell could have overcome me to do that. But it get's better." Inuyasha said grinning now.

Kagome nodded as she kept her smile "What is it?"

Inuyasha smirked as he leaned back "She kissed me on the cheek before she went home. That has to be a sign right?"

Kagome nodded as she herself blushed at listening about her bold action. "I'm sure i-it is."

Inuyasha frowned and placed his hadn on Kazuki's forehead "You okay, you seem to be acting more jumpy and weird lately. Are you okay?" Inuyasha asked urgently not liking that something bad was happening to Kazuki, his close friend.

Kagome smiled as she shook her head "N-No I'm fine, honestly. So what do we have first?" Kagome asked trying to get away from the conversation of last night, not because she couldn't accept it, but more so because she didn't what advice she could give him, when she didn't even know herself.

Inuyasha shrugged it off as he answered and got up to drink some water "We have assembly first, I heard from Miroku they're going to be talking about Christmas on Thursday. I think it has something to do with the second match of the championships."

Kagome turned around "Really the second match is on Thursday? But why on Christmas and on a school night?"

Inuyasha smiled "Well Christmas morning would have already passed so all the gifts would have been given and such so why not spend a fun night looking at your child play."

Kagome bit her lip not knowing whether to ask this. She turned around and took out her uniform from her duffel bag. "Are your parents coming on Thursday? You knwo for Christmas or your game?"

Inuyasha froze. He tightened his hand on the bottle so harshly that it crinkled under the force. He looked at the ground then at the bottle. "Nah they can never be bothered, work and Sesshomaru is more important to them than me. But I'm sure I will get a package with a Christmas card that they didn't even pick out. Want to know what happened last year?"

Kagome nodded but smiled sadly at the fact that not even for such an important day when it was Christmas and their son's game combine did they even try to make the effort to come.

Inuyasha snorted "I got a package filled chocolate and flowers and a birthday card, and in the birthday card it said 'we hope you like your new clothes, only the best for you son. Merry Christmas.' They didn't even fucking pick out the present. I will never forget that card, it showed me just how much they really 'care' about me. So long story short I've given up."

Kagome said nothing not wanting to dig a deeper hole, knowing he wasn't exactly happy right now. So she tried to change the mood. "So you think you can beat the other team on Thursday?" she said smirking.

Inuyasha instantly hyped up at the mention of the game "Pft, off course we will, you know we always do!"

Kagome laughed and as usual she ran into the bathroom to get changed claiming she needed to brush her teeth and 'shave'. And soon with all the uniform ready and Kagome finishing of Inuyasha's tie, they were off to assembly with their duffel bags in hand.

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha "So how about our training in the mornings? We haven't done them in a while?"

Inuyasha nodded as he ruffled Kazuki's hair "Well how about we start again tomorrow?"

Kagome smiled and nodded. They soon waved at Miroku and all three stood in a line, Inuyasha spotting Koga in another glaring at his direction, then to Kazuki. Inuyasha stood closer to his friend. Koga could beat him but he wouldn't lay a hand on Kazuki. For some reason he felt a wave of overprotectiveness towards Kazuki, probably because he was the only friend that ever admired him and took the time to listen to him instead of always agreeing. Inuyasha looked at Kazuki and saw how he was so small. He couldn't get over the fact that he and Kagome had similar heights, not to mention their hair colour is the same and their muscle build. Inuyasha then heard the microphone sound and looked up to see a teacher up on the stage.

"Good morning everyone. I hope you all had a nice week-end and a thank you and congratulations to our team the Lynx's..." The whole gym cheered, and Inuyasha and Miroku were loving it. The teacher spread out his hands "Okay okay settle down now. As you all know Christmas is on Thursday, now and the game is also on that date, and so what the school have planned is for Thursday to be off for the whole day, so you can spend the day with your family and relatives. So on Wednesday evening we allow every student to leave and spend the next day with their families before coming over if you wish to watch the game at 7:00. Other than that, there are no more notices. So everybody please be patient whilst leaving the door and all go to your respective classrooms." And with that the bell rang and all the students left.

Kagome followed Inuyasha. "So what are you going to do on Thursday?"

Inuyasha shrugged "Same as always I guess."

Kagome gave another sad smile. 'Oh Inuyasha.'

Koga was leaning against the wall as he stared intently at Inuyasha then Kazuki before leaving slowly into the darkness.

Hey guuuuys! Sorry I was really busy with Uni, and preparations for mocks. This chapter is a mixture of romance and sadness. But don't worry, in the next chapter you will see much more closeness, between Kazuki and Inuyasha, I need to balance both of them out I think, and I have been getting reviews of people wanting me to add more of their bond again. The next chapter I find will be heart warming and much more optimistic. Well Hope I get at least an extra 20 or so reviews, seriously they are the only reason I try my best to update ASAP! Please review me any ideas you wish me to put in, and i will try to squeeze it in somewhere :)

remember more reviews faster update!
