CHAPTER 3
After entering his own dormitory, Inuyasha threw his knapsack on the floor. He lay on his bed, thinking. Then from his lying position, he went to his sitting position. In front of him, at his side-table stood a photo. Inuyasha took it and went to his lying position again. He stared at the photo, memories from the past now forming inside his head.
Flashback
"My name is Kikyou…"
Sesshoumaru and I listened attentively at the girl introducing herself.
She's beautiful, the girl's beauty attracted me. I wonder does Sesshoumaru feel this way.
After the long black-haired girl finished introducing herself, she went back to her seat. My gaze followed the girl's movements.
End of Flashback
Kikyou had not changed at all, Inuyasha thought as he compared Kikyou's looks to when she was just a child. Inuyasha smiled to himself.

"Sesshoumaru, do you think Kikyou is a beautiful girl," I whispered to his cousin.
"Yeah. Her beauty is a rare one," Sesshoumaru agreed.
After school, Sesshoumaru and I approached the girl. Kikyou was about to leave the classroom when she saw us with walking towards her. She took a step back as we approached nearer to her.
"Hi, I'm Sesshoumaru."
"My name is Inuyasha. Nice to meet you."
"Nice… nice… to meet you."
"Shall we be friends," I asked.
"Hmm… Are you sure?"
"Absolutely, certainly sure."
"Let's go home together."
Kikyou nodded her head happily. I noticed that Kikyou seemed to be unsure of whether it was safe to go with us or not.
"Don't worry. We will not hurt you. We just want to be friends with you," I confirmed with a confident tone.
Kikyou smiled so it will make sure that her "new" friends will not be worried about her but I knew her smile was a reluctant one so I was the one who chatted the most than Sesshoumaru on our way home.
From that day onwards, the three of us became very good friends. We even took a picture of ourselves together. After that, Kikyou mixed around with a group of bad girls and left the two of us. I noticed that Kikyou's attitude had changed when she came back to reunite with the two of us.
After the three of us graduated from Fuuka Middle School, we went to study in Fuuka High School. I decided to take action to declare my love towards Kikyou.
At first, I wrote a love letter and bought a bouquet of different varieties of flowers to represent the different reasons why I love her and sent them to her house but Kikyou rejected them. Many attempts were made but each and every one was rejected. I did not give up until Sesshoumaru told me to give up hope, as Kikyou is a stubborn girl; once Kikyou makes a decision, she will never change her mind.
Later that year, I heard that Kikyou loved Sesshoumaru. I was so furious that time that I hit my cousin but ended up having a big slap from Kikyou. After this unhappy event occurred, I hated Sesshoumaru and our friendship bond was broken. Sesshoumaru also dislikes me as I kept disturbing Kikyou with my attempts of declaring my love towards Kikyou. When Sesshoumaru left me, I was a lonely person although everyone respect me.
End of Flashback
Inuyasha stood up and placed the photo back to its original place. He walked to the bathroom, took a towel which was folded neatly on the basin outside the bathroom, before taking a shower. Inuyasha intended to take a half an hour hot bath in order to clear away his bad memories.

End of Chapter 3
Chapter 3 is a bit shorter than I had expected it to be. Sorry. I just hope you guys would understand why Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru hate each other, and why Inuyasha is a lonely person. I think until this chapter, I still feel that the story is lacking of interest but please R&R or should I stop here…
