She's Lookin Through Me

Chapter Eleven – Fess Up

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?

"Yea… yea… I turn human just for one night." Inuyasha said still avoiding Kagome's glance.

"So… is it still a bad time, then?" She asked realizing Inuyasha was just too ashamed of his human side to let Kagome in. He nodded and stepped aside.

"Why don't you ever go home?" He asked. But unlike his usual rough tone, Inuyasha sounded like he was just asking her a normal question.

"Well, with Yuki being suspended and all, I don't want to go face him. Plus, it's not like my aunt cares about where I am… she's too drugged up to ever realize I'm even gone." She said laughing.

'That explains a lot.' Inuyasha thought remembering earlier.

"So, how did things go with Akitoki?" He asked this time with his usual rude tinge to his words. Kagome sighed.

"He asked me to be his girlfriend… but I told him no. I felt so bad, but… I just didn't like him like that. He's so sweet…" Kagome trailed off as the two plopped down on the couch.

"He's sweet so you said no?" Inuyasha asked making Kagome laugh.

"No… it's just… I've got my mind on someone else…" She gasped. "I mean something else…" She said laughing nervously. Inuyasha nodded and smiled.

"Well… I'll be right back. I've got to go tuck Rin in…" He said standing up. Kagome nodded and sat back in the couch.

'Oh that was a smart move…' She sighed. 'Face it, Kags… you do like Inuyasha… you like him a lot…' She slumped down even more. 'You might even love him…'

Inuyasha heaved a loud sigh after walking into Rin's room. He shut the door behind him and approached her bed.

"Uncle Yasha… who is that girl?" Rin asked smiling. He sighed and looked at her.

"She's my friend, Kagome… she was here last night, do you not remember her or something?" He asked. Rin shook her head.

"I must have fallen asleep…" She said yawning. "You love her, don't you?" She asked. Inuyasha froze.

"What?" He asked.

"I can tell by the way you look at her… and ever since she came over, you've calmed down a lot…" She smiled weakly.

"Rin… how could you…" He sighed. 'She's so right, though… having Kagome with me just calms me down…'

"Goodnight!" Rin said rolling over. Inuyasha stood up and turned the lights out before leaving her room.

"Hey." He heard Kagome say in the hallway causing him to nearly jump out of his skin.

"You want to go for a walk?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha nodded and they set out.

A taller boy walked through the streets of Tokyo that night. He had red eyes and unruly dark brown hair. He walked past a Pawnshop and saw a picture of himself up in the window

'Wanted for murder' the sign read. He sighed.

'Guess I'll have to change my look…' He thought to himself. He looked into the pawnshop's window and saw a man with short brown hair and light brown eyes working the cash register.

He breathed in deeply as he changed himself to look like the man before him. His dark hair was suddenly short and his red eyes changed to light brown. He saw the man in the shop watch in horror and pick up the phone.

"No you don't…" The boy said under his breath running into the pawnshop. He reached out his arm, which turned into a tentacle, and pierced through the man's chest, leaving a bloody mess on the floor.

He sighed and left the pawnshop, heading through town. "Now it's time to find Kagome…" He said aloud.

Inuyasha and Kagome stepped out onto his driveway. 'I've got her alone… maybe I should just…' He turned to Kagome.

"Actually, would you want to go for a ride? There's somewhere I'd like to show you." He said hopefully. Kagome smiled and nodded. Inuyasha ran inside really quickly and returned holding a helmet in his hand. Kagome cocked her head to the side, watching him. He walked over to a bike that was covered up with a sheet.

"Ooh no!" She said looking at the motorbike underneath the sheet. Inuyasha gaped.

"What? You don't trust me?" He asked. Kagome sighed.

"No… it's just… I hate motorcycles…" She said squinting as Inuyasha hopped onto it.

"Well, good, it's not a motorcycle." He smiled devilishly as Kagome reluctantly hopped on behind him. She wrapped her arms around his torso tightly and buried her head into his back.

"Hold on…" He said turning behind him and putting the helmet on her head. She smiled.

"Where's yours?" She asked.

"Keh! Don't ask stupid questions, wench…" He smiled and turned back to the front of the bike, revving it up.

"You ready?" He asked as Kagome returned to her death grip on him.

"Nn…no!" She said frightened.

"Good." Inuyasha said letting the bike take off.

They rode down some country roads where there were no lights but the stars. Kagome had spent the first half of it, cuddled into Inuyasha… but after they left the city, she loosened up. She looked up at the sky above her. The light from the moon was the only light she could see.

She looked to her left and saw Mt. Fuji ahead. 'Where's he taking me?' She thought as they came to a stop. She looked over at a sign which read 'Lake Yamagata'.

'Lake Yamagata?' She asked herself remembering the significance of the lake. Inuyasha hopped off the bike as well as Kagome. She took the helmet off, revealing her long ebony locks which shimmered in the moonlight.

"It's so pretty…" Kagome said taking in the scene before her. The lake sparkled with the reflections of the stars above. Crickets chirped all through the area. She closed her eyes and sighed.

"You're weird…" Inuyasha said breaking her from her trance. Kagome scoffed.

"How so?" She asked, placing a hand on her hip.

"It's just a giant puddle of water…" Inuyasha mumbled. "I never did understand that weird fascination women had with water… it's just… water…" He finished as Kagome walked up to the edge of the lake. She squatted down and looked into it. Inuyasha smiled as a cruel idea came to his mind.

He quickly ran up behind her, grabbed her by the hips and threw Kagome into the water. She screamed just before plunging into its depths. Inuyasha was too busy laughing at his genius to notice she hadn't come up.

'Oh shit…' He thought not wasting a second before diving in after her. He quickly had to come up for breath and looked around the water's surface frantically for her.

"Kagome!" He called out looking around. Something grabbed at his foot, startling him as he watched Kagome swim up to the surface gracefully.

She flipped her soaked hair and glared at him. "Two can play at that game, mister…" She said, placing two hands at the top of his head and laughing malevolently as she dunked him under. Inuyasha gurgled a bit before jumping up out of her grasp and throwing her across the lake.

Again, she went under but arose to the surface much sooner this time with a scowl on her face as she swam over to the boy who was laughing triumphantly.

"Why you…" She started, raising her hands above her head. But Inuyasha grabbed her wrists to stop her. Kagome furrowed her brows as her eyes met with his.

But as she looked into them… the look faded. Her heart began to slam against her chest. Her skin felt like it was on fire.

"Inu…" She started but was shut up as he closed he distance between their lips. Kagome wasn't shocked in the least and returned the kiss. Inuyasha let her wrists go and felt her hands lock behind his neck as she pulled herself closer to him. He wrapped one arm around her waist and let his free hand crawl up to her cheek.

Inuyasha broke the kiss and opened his eyes to look at her. She didn't look upset or frightened… she looked happy. He sighed.

"Kagome… I wanted to bring you here to tell you something…" He said softly. Kagome brought her face closer to his. "I…" He sighed in frustration. "Ever since I met you, my whole life has changed. You've got to be the first person to ever accept me. I've never had anyone cry for my losses or stick up to their cousin to save their relationship with me." He placed a hand up to her cheek. "I love you, Higurashi Kagome… I love you more than…"

He was silenced by Kagome's lips crashing onto his own.
