She's Lookin Through Me

Chapter Six – Jealousy

By Patche

Disclaimer – Inuyasha isn't mine… (Le sadness)

Summary – A girl who moves to a new school to be with her cousin, Utada Yuki. Yuki is the most popular boy in his whole school, so, thanks to him, Kagome is granted with that same luxury. In her new school, she has grabbed the attention of every boy... even our favorite hanyou. Rated-T for some cussing and minor limeyness?

Kagome was sitting in her last block, sighing. 'Only ten more minutes…' She thought as she read over her story to hand in. She could feel Kouga's eyes on her and shuddered to herself. 'He's going to ask me out again…' She looked at the front desk. 'I might as well say yes. It won't hurt anything…' She thought, standing up to turn her paper in. Instantly, Kouga shot up as well and followed her to the front of the class.

Kouga quickly grabbed her hands and turned to the class. Three girls in the back were going crazy over him.

"Hi class." Kouga said loudly. The teacher grabbed his forehead.

"Suzuki, please take a seat." He said annoyed. Kouga was always making an ass of himself in class… the sensei was used to it by now.

"In a sec, sensei. First, I have to ask Kagome to the movies tonight." Kagome mentally sighed.

'I knew it.' She thought.

"Higurashi Kagome… I'm standing in front of the entire class… completely risking humiliation just to ask you to the movies with me tonight."

'It sounds like he's proposing to me or something…' She thought to herself.

"Sure." She said indifferently. She wasn't really that enthused to begin with.

"Yes!" Kouga said, wrapping his arms around her. The sensei stood up now.

"Suzuki, Higurashi! In your seats now!" Kouga quickly released Kagome from his grip and sat down in his desk. Kagome did the same and could hear everyone talking. The two prettiest people in school are going on a date.

Kagome met up with Sango outside of class.

"So, are you going to the movies with us tonight?" She asked. Kagome shook her head and sighed.

"Nope. I've got a date with Kouga. We're going to the movies too." Her voice sounded so dull. She obviously did not want to go to the movies at all.

"Well, what movie are you seeing?" Sango asked. "If we see the same thing, maybe you two can sit with us and then it won't be so awkward." Kagome sighed.

"I'm not sure. Don't worry about me, though, Sango. You go have fun with the boys. I'll live. It's just one date." She said calmly. Sango nodded as the two met up with Inuyasha and Miroku.

--

Kagome gasped as the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" She heard Yuki shout. 'It's probably Kouga…

She thought to herself, grabbing her shoes. She quickly glanced at herself in the mirror. She wore a tight, blue halter-top and a short denim skirt with a pretty hemp choker around her neck. Her hair was flattened straight and she wore a little more make-up today than normal.

"Kagome, it's for you…" Yuki said sounding extremely disappointed. Kagome nodded and ran to the door to see Kouga waiting for her.

"Hi." She said sounding a bit nervous. Even if she didn't like the guy… she hadn't been on a date in a while. So.. she was a bit nervous.

"Ready to go?" Kouga said linking his arm in hers. Kagome nodded and they walked out to his car. Kouga instantly turned on the stereo once they got in.

Kagome barely talked the whole way there... her mind was racing. 'What if we end up seeing the same movie and… what if Inuyasha's there? I mean… even if he doesn't like me… I still… I don't want him to see us. He'll get mad that I went on a date with Kouga…'

"Well, what do you know? We're here!" Kouga said parking the car. "You alright with a scary movie?" Kouga asked and they got out of the car.

"Umm sure…" 'He didn't let me pick… what a jerk.' She thought.

"Alright." He said as they walked up to the theater. Kagome felt her heart start pounding crazily as she heard her name being called. She looked over to see Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku all watching her. She gave them a weak smile as Kouga wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.

Sango and Miroku were smiling but Inuyasha… he didn't look so happy to see them there. Kagome sighed. She felt a little happy and a little upset. Was Inuyasha disappointed in her… or was he… jealous?

She didn't even notice that Kouga had bought the tickets and her friends had disappeared. But she suddenly was walking into a theater that was well lit since the movie was nowhere near starting. Kouga picked two seats up in the top to sit in.

Kagome sighed, still thinking about Inuyasha. 'Why am I so excited about him being jealous?' She thought. 'I mean… he probably isn't. He just it upset because I'm with Kouga…'

"Hey Kagome." She whipped her head around to see Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha sitting two seats away from them.

"Hi." She said meekly noticing the hanyou's face. He still looked like he was angry… and confused… and everything.

"You know them?" Kouga whispered in her ear. She nodded.

"Do you think they'd mind me doing this?" Kouga asked slamming his lips into hers. Kagome wanted to scream. What was going on? Why was he doing this? He hadn't laid a hand on her until Inuyasha showed up.

He broke the kiss and smiled down at her. Kagome slumped back in her chair and turned to her friends but something was missing.

Inuyasha was gone.

Kagome gasped and turned to Kouga. "One sec. I need to use the restroom." She said with a smile. Kouga nodded and let her walk off. Sango watched Kagome leave and turned to Miroku.

"What do you think?" He asked. Sango smiled.

"I think we've got ourselves a case of puppy love." She said. Miroku laughed.

"I think we do…" He said, sliding his hand down to her bottom. Sango slapped him across the face.

"No, we have a case of pig love, you pervert!" Miroku laughed nervously.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome looked all through the lobby for him. 'Why'd he run off?' She thought. Suddenly, she spotted him coming out of the restroom. 'You've got to be kidding me… he just had to go to the bathroom?'

"Hey." He said softly. His eyes still held a certain jealous glaze over them. Kagome held her arm and looked at him wanting to say something.

"You alright?" Inuyasha asked looking at her. She looked like she was trying to talk but couldn't get the words out.

"Uh.. um… yea. Yea. I'm fine." She said, tucking a stray hair behind her ear. "Just fine…" Inuyasha nodded.

"Well, we should get back in there… I'm sure your new boyfriend would just be devastated if he knew you were out here talking to me." Kagome bit her lip.

"He's not my boyfriend." She said.

"Then why'd he kiss you?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome perked up.

'He saw… he…' She smiled a bit. 'He was jealous…'

"Well, he kissed me. Not the other way around." Kagome said, trying to console the poor guy. Then again, she didn't really know why she cared if Inuyasha was jealous or not. Well, she did but… she didn't want to admit to it.

"Yea, you looked like you were fighting really hard." Inuyasha said walking away.

"Hey! Hey!" Kagome shouted grabbing his arm. Inuyasha spun around just in time to catch her lips with his, shocking the both of them. They both quickly pulled apart from each other and stared at the ground with bright red faces.

"I'm sorry… you umm… I was…"

"No… it's… yea… no…"

"Heh." Inuyasha watched as Kagome walked ahead of him, her eyes fixated on the ground. He just stood back and blinked.

'Did I just kiss her?' He asked himself.

--

The rest of the movie went by pretty slowly. Inuyasha watched in disgust, as Kouga would slip an arm around Kagome and whisper in her ear…

He felt something… he had since the first moment he met her. She was so beautiful. It was like every time she walked next to him, the sun was shining… somewhere in his heart. It was so weird to think of her like that, though.

'Even Kikyou didn't make me feel so light and happy…' He thought before letting out a sigh. 'And this whole thing… the whole reason I'm even here with Kagome is because of Kikyou. I'm protecting her from Naraku… the same Naraku that killed Kikyou….'

Inuyasha glanced over at Kagome and sighed.

'We wouldn't ever be anything, anyway. She's way too good for me and Yuki would probably rip my head off if I tried anything…'

AN – Thank you guys so much for the reviews! I love you all! Aww… I gave you some fluff and an accidental kiss. Yay… too bad we didn't get to hear what Kagome thought of it… yet, anyway. So… Kikyou was mentioned… she was murdered. Maybe that will answer why Inuyasha is helping Yuki… but why is Onigumo after Kagome?

Review please… even if it's about something I did wrong… I love reviews.

Love always,
