Chapter Four: Nervous

I finally make it inside and fling my backpack on the ground. Head still dizzy I stumble up the hardwood stairs into my bedroom. I let the pink comforter engulf my body as I close my heavy lids. What could that kiss have meant? Does he really like me? Suddenly the phone starts ringing. My heart flies up into my throat and I forget how to breathe. What if it's Yash? What do I say? Shaking I reach for the phone on my nightstand.

"Kags, you there?" A voice asks.

"Songo, it's you!" I gasp.

"No duh. Who'd you think it was, Yash?" Songo chuckles.

"Actually yeah." I mumble.

"Hu? He knows your number?"

"He has for a while. He's been taking me home after school."

"Oh my gosh! That's so cute!"

"And strange…."

"What do you mean strange?"

"He kissed me today."

"When? Where?"

"Here after his brother drove me home."

"He likes you! I'm sure of it now!"

"Hu? How can you tell?"

"Number one he kissed you, number two he takes you home, number three he always sits next to you, number four he tries to flirt with you…"

"Inuyasha flirt with me?"

"How dumb are you, Kagome? Don't you notice the way he stares at you and touches you? He's soooo into you and you're as blind as a bat!"

"I always thought he thought of me as a friend."

"He isn't that foreword about liking you like Miroku is to me, but you can tell he's into to you."

"He's coming over tomorrow to see me. Songo, what should I do?"

"Flirt back. Do you still have that light pink low-cut blouse?"

"Yeah. It's in my closet somewhere."

"Wear that and your jean mini-skirt."

"Why?"

"You really don't pay attention do you?" His eyes nearly fell out of his head when you last wore that."

"Really?"

"Totally. You have great legs."

"Thanks. I appreciate the advice."

"No problem. Hey Kags, I have to let you go. Miroku will be here in a few and I need to freshen up."

"Alright. Talk to you later. Bye."

"Bye, Kagome."

I hang up the phone and throw the blankets off my body. I walk over to the closet and reach for the pink blouse and jean skirt Songo suggested that I wear. I throw the clothes onto my desk and head downstairs. Just as I'm about to head into the kitchen I hear a familiar voice.

"So where is she? Where's my little Kagome?" I hear the voice ask.

"Upstairs. KAGOME!" I hear my mother shout.

"I'm right here, mom." I sigh.

"Kagome!" I hear the voice shreik.

"What's she doing here?" I ask blood boiling.

"Your cousin is staying here for a while. I hope you don't mind sharing a room with her." My mother states.

Great I have to share a room with Kinky-Ho. I didn't always hate her. We used to be best friends. That is until last summer. Inuyasha met Kikyou for the first time and fell for her. I was left in the background as my look alike stole my best friend. I had a bit of a crush on Inuyasha so watching him fall for her like that broke my heart. They dated until summer's end and then Kikyou left him to move back home and move onto someone else. Inuyasha was heartbroken and I was left to pick up all the shattered pecies. What would happen now that she was back? Would he forget all about me and return to last year's summer?

"So Kagome how's school going?" Kikyou asks following me up the stairs to my bedroom.

"Fine." I answer short and sweet.

"Meet any cute guys or are you too busy for them as usual?"

"I've met someone…"

"And how does Inuyasha feel about that?"

"Leave him out of this!" I can feel a growl thickening in my throat.

"Whatever."

I have to be sure it is me Inuyasha falls for this time. I'm not like her. I will never leave him. Because I know I love Inuyasha.
