She's Lookin Through Me

Chapter Fifteen – Not Right

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?

"Sango?" Inuyasha asked looking at Miroku. He nodded. "It smells like Sango's blood but… you reek with the scent of Naraku." Inuyasha's eyes widened in fear as he grabbed his cousin by the shoulders. "Is he here? Is Naraku here?"

Kagome gasped. 'Are they talking about Naraku Onigumo? But how would Inuyasha know how Onigumo smelled?'

Her thoughts were interrupted as Inuyasha started walking out the door following close behind his cousin. Kagome followed hurriedly.

"Do you know where they went?" Inuyasha asked as they rushed out onto the street. Miroku stopped and scanned the area.

"No." He said turning to the hanyou. "Can you sniff her out?" He asked. Inuyasha nodded and held his nose up to the sky, pointing to the left of them.

"She's over here somewhere." He turned to Kagome before running off. "Stay here."

Kagome held her hand up to reach him. "But Inuyasha…" She tried to argue.

"You're safety's much more than any help you could offer. Stay here!" Inuyasha commanded. Kagome nodded and watched the two boys run off.

'What's going on? Something's not right…' She plopped down onto the curb and held her head in her palm. 'Why would Inuyasha and Miroku know about Naraku? And why would he kidnap Sango?'

--

"Sango… Sango…"

Sango grunted, hearing her name. The blackness that filled her head seemed to disappear. Where was she? The last thing she could remember was Miroku being impaled by one of those tentacles… and that man that was holding her… he seemed familiar.

She slowly opened her eyes to see two blue ones staring back at her. It was Miroku.

"Sango. Are you alright?" He asked. She nodded and tried to sit up, but she found she was on a park bench.

"Where am I?" She asked noticing Inuyasha was with Miroku.

"Guess this is where that creep left you." Inuyasha said. Miroku nodded and placed a hand on her back as she sat up.

Inuyasha watched the two interact. 'Thank goodness Sango's safe…' He thought. 'Naraku isn't after her, after all… he's.' Inuyasha felt a chill up his spine. How could he have been so stupid? Leaving Kagome alone while they went after the man hunting her down? He growled at himself and turned o the two behind him.

"I'm gonna go make sure Kagome's still safe." Inuyasha said running off.

Sango looked at Miroku wearily. "Thank you." She said softly. "…For worrying about me, Miroku." Miroku nodded and grabbed her hand, looking at her very seriously.

"Why wouldn't I have worried about you? Sango… I love you. Of course I was worried. I was scared out of mind." He said, pulling her into a gentle hug.

She felt a light tear gather in her eye. "You do?" She asked with her weak voice. "You love me still?"

Miroku chuckled a bit and pulled away from her. "Yes, I still love you, Sango. How could you think otherwise?" He asked noticing she was crying. "Sango…"

She shook her head and tried to hide the tears that were falling. "I…" Her shoulders shook as a sob came out of her. She reached a hand up to her face, to try and keep the tears from falling. "I thought you didn't want to be with me anymore…" Miroku's eyes softened as he tried his best to console his girlfriend.

"Don't be silly, Sango." Was all he mustered out before picking her up, bridal style and walking her back to Inuyasha's house.

Inuyasha felt a wave of relief crash over him as he looked in his driveway and saw Kagome was still sitting there, under the light above his garage.

"You're okay." He breathed out, as she stood up.

"Yea. Of course I am." She said confused. "Why wouldn't I be?" She asked as Inuyasha pulled her into a hug.

"I was just worried…" He whispered into her ear. Kagome nodded and pulled away from him.

"Is Sango all right?" She asked concerned.

Inuyasha looked in the direction of the park bench they found her resting on. "Yea, she's a little beaten up but she's okay."

Kagome looked behind Inuyasha and saw Miroku and Sango walking up the driveway. "Thank goodness…" Kagome said softly, rushing to her friend's side. Miroku set Sango down on her own feet.

"Sango-chan." Kagome said pulling her friend into a hug. Sango hugged her back, straining a bit.

Miroku nodded looking over at Inuyasha. "So, you think this was Naraku's doing?" He asked. Inuyasha nodded. "Well, I guess this means you'll have to be on your guard." Miroku said, walking inside. Sango followed after him leaving Kagome and Inuyasha outside.

"Inuyasha…" Kagome started. "Who's Naraku?" Inuyasha froze.

'She knows something's up… shit…' He turned to her trying to look as serious as possible. "Umm he's just a guy who used to go to our school… but he got kicked out…" Inuyasha said avoiding her eyes.

Kagome nodded. "Oh. For a second, I thought it was Onigumo." She laughed a little. "My mistake." Naraku did seem like an odd name for there to be two of. But, then again there were two Kagomes at her old school.

--

It was the end of the week. Exams were finally over and everyone felt like they could breathe again. Miroku and Sango were completely back to normal and ready to celebrate their anniversary that was happening next week.

Kagome and Inuyasha had already made plans for that day, even if it was going to be his human night.

Everything was great. Though, the four were still confused by Naraku's presence.

Kagome and Inuyasha sat in silence during their first class of the day. Everyone was thankful it was a Friday, but still so exhausted from studying all week for exams.

"Class, we have a new student." The teacher said quietly, bringing a boy with black hair and green eyes into the room.

"This is Narita Kei." The whole class smiled and bowed their heads. Inuyasha, however, didn't. He got a weird feeling from this kid. The way walked in was just too… suspicious.

"You may have a seat next to Higurashi." The teacher said.

"WAIT!" Inuyasha shouted just before Kei made his way to his new seat.

"Yes, Inuyasha?" The teacher asked. Kagome and Kei both looked at Inuyasha curiously. Kei had a glare plastered on his face.

"Can he sit by me?" Inuyasha asked. The teacher shook his head.

"I'm afraid I need to have the class arranged in order." Kei smiled and made his way to his new seat. Kagome still had her eyes locked with Inuyasha's.

'What's wrong?' She mouthed to him. Inuyasha grumbled and shook his head. Spinning around in her chair to face the front, Kagome sighed angrily.

Kei turned to her, smiling. "Jealous boyfriend?" He asked. Kagome chuckled a bit and nodded.

"Yea. A little over the top, I guess." She said smiling. "I'm Higurashi Kagome, by the way." Kei nodded his head.

"Nice to meet you, Kagome."

'What the hell is she doing? Is she that friendly with every guy she ever meets?' Inuyasha growled low in his throat. 'She's a moron.' He felt a tinge of jealousy, but most of it was the fact that he knew something was wrong with this Kei character and he had to find out what it was before it cost him his girlfriend's life.

"What's your problem?" Kagome asked after school was over. Sango and Miroku decided to not go to get ice cream today, so they were alone in the parking lot on their way to Inuyasha's bike.

"What do you mean?" He snapped back. Kagome glared at him without saying one word causing her hanyou to sigh and roll his eyes like he always did. "He's just… suspicious."

"Oh really?" Kagome asked. "How?"

"Well, like how he shows up right after the Sango incident and why he didn't want to sit next to anyone but you. Kagome, I'm just looking out for you!" He shouted. Kagome scoffed.

"You sound just like Yuki." She averted her eyes and cringed bitterly. "Why can't you just let me judge people on my own, Inuyasha?"

"Because I have to protect you." He shouted back.

"I can protect myself!" Inuyasha growled and locked his eyes with hers.

"I'm the only one who can protect you, Kagome." He turned to walk away from her, but Kagome didn't follow. Something wasn't right at all.

'Why's he acting so different all of the sudden? And this new kid…' She looked around and spotted Yuki watching her like a hawk.

Kagome sighed and turned around, running after Inuyasha. Even if he was acting weird, she knew Yuki would be a hundred times worse.

AN – I've gotten so many reviews. I'm so happy (little dance) thanks again, everyone. I'm a little upset because one of my favorite fan fiction authors, PrincessKitty1, is leaving fan fiction. It makes me so sad. But I wish her the best. Anyway, about this chapter… I didn't put in much fluff… fighting's always fun. So, there should be fluff soon. This story is kinda maybe about to end soon? I'm not sure. I know I'll get in at least twenty chapters.

A new story's already in the works.

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

Love always,
