Chapter 5: Missed date and depressing decisions
The rest of the week flew by. Kagome was confused and had to fight off the urge to yell at everyone that called her sliver queen. That was one of the things she wanted to ask Inuyasha to do. It was after school and she was walking home. Inuyasha had some problem with another gang so she decided to just walk home on her own. 'Uh hope he doesn't leave thinking I gave him the wrong address.' she thought as she walked up the shrine steps. Once she reached her house she went straight to her room lost in her thoughts.
'What if he refuses me once he finds out who I really am?' Kagome thought sadly, 'I know I like him a lot but I...uh!' she thought as she dressed her self. "I'm not telling him and if I lose him it's his loss." she told herself quietly. Once she was done getting ready she went down stairs and checked the time. It was 6:30, half an hour before he was supposed to pick her up. She was brought out of thought when she heard her mother ask, "What time is he coming for you?"
"Oh, seven but he got into a fight after school so he might be late." Kagome answered
"Please don't tell me he's in a gang or similar to one" he mother pealed
"Sorry, mom but he is the leader of the sliver cloud gang. Are you mad at me?" Kagome replied sadly
"Kagome please just stay out of them. I'm not angry but if he drags you into this again I will send you to boarding school." her mother said painfully.
"Mama...I'm sorry...I promise I won't get dragged into any of it." Kagome said before standing up and walking away.
"I know...dear please don't take it the wrong way." Ms. Higurashi said as her daughter walked away and outside the house.
Kagome had heard what her mother said and let a signal tear roll down her face. She waited at the bottom of the shrine steps and waited finally she took in a deep breath and walked back up to her house. 'That no good mother fucking son of a bitch!' she thought angrily. Once she entered the house she looked at the clock and found that it was 8:15. Her mother, brother and grandfather were sitting down and eating when her mother asked, "Back so soon?"
"No, he never showed. So what's for dinner?" she asked as she held to chain around her neck tightly. No matter how mad she was she just couldn't rip the necklace off and throw it.
"It's your favorite...would you like me to serve you a plate?" her mother answered.
"NO, I'll serve my self but thanks. After dinner I'm going to bed...I'm going to be training all day tomorrow." Kagome replied as she began to serve her own plate.
"Your better off so don't worry about it sis." her brother said
"I agree...he is not worthy of my granddaughter." her grandfather added.
Kagome smiled and took what comfort they gave her. Once she was done eating, Kagome went up to her room and listened to some music. Finally after calming her self down a little, Kagome got her phone and dialed Sango's number. However Sango wasn't the one that pick up the phone. Instead the phone was picked up by Sango's mother saying, "Hello Kinata"
"Hello is Sango home?" Kagome asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry she's not in at the moment, would you like to leave a message?" Kagome heard Sango's mother replied
"OH, well can you just tell her that Kagome called." she requested
"Oh of course I will good bye."
"Bye"
After she hung up Kagome went out side and jumped up into the god tree that was across the well house. Once she was at the branch she liked she sat down and leaned against the tree. 'What if he got seriously hurt? Ah! He better be in the hospital or dead for standing me up like that.' she thought angrily. 'I think I might actually love him...shit I think I do, I love Inuyasha.' she thought in shock. After having realizing this she shoved the thought to the back of her head and went to bed hoping that he was alright.
"Oh my god what happened?!" Sesshomaru!" a small 20 year old yelled as she helped a bloody Inuyasha in the house.
"Uh, got into a fight so don't worry Rin." Inuyasha said weakly as he tried to walk into the house on his own.
"So who'd you fight with this time?" a cold voice was heard as the sound of foot steps was heard coming down the stairs.
"Feh, what do you care Sesshomaru? You've always been to busy to help out your half brother." Inuyasha bite out.
"But I'm not now...Rin get the first aide while I clean the wounds." Sesshomaru said.
"O.K. is right back." Rin said as she ran off.
Inuyasha eyed his brother and waited to b e thrown down and beaten for coming home so beat up. But he was surprised when his brother threw him on the couch and walked away. Sesshomaru came back with a rag and some water. 'What the hell? Has he gone crazy?' Inuyasha thought as his brother cleansed his wounds. Finally he got so confused that he asked, "What's the deal Sesshomaru, why are you helping me?"
"I finally understood what father told me before he died. So now I will do the right thing...brother." Sesshomaru said.
"Brother...yeah well can you do me a favor?" Inuyasha asked.
"That would be" Sesshomaru replied.
"Let two of my friends spend the night. They're passed out in the car." Inuyasha answered.
"Uh, tell Rin where I went." he growled out with no real anger before going out.
Inuyasha then closed his eyes and began to think, 'Damn that Naraku...he will pay if she doesn't went me any more. I have to go see her.' he thought. Inuyasha got up and entered the kitchen. Just as he was walking out of the side door in the kitchen he heard Rin calling him. 'Sorry Rin...but I have to make things right.' Inuyasha thought before leaving the house and running the address. 'Is this even the right address? It's just a shrine but her scent is here.' he thought as he reached the steps. With out a care he jumped up all the steps and followed her scent to a tree. 'Probably thinking about how big of a jerk I am.' he thought, as he got closer to the house. But before he could reach the house he was knocked out and thrown over his brothers' shoulder. "You'll learn will you?" Sesshomaru said before taking him back to the house.
"Kagome we're leaving are up sure you don't went to come with us!" Her mother yelled.
"No, I'm, see you later!" she yelled back before releasing one of her arrows.
"Alright...we'll be back by three." was the last thing Kagome heard from her mother before they left.
'At least they'll have a good weekend.' she thought angrily as she let another arrow go. Kagome had woken up at five and had been up since for two hours straight trying to make her self feel better. She had tooken her human miko form so that she could use more of her miko energy in venting. That morning however she had managed to force herself to take off the necklace that she had gotten from Inuyasha. 'Asswhole isn't going to hear from me. I'm not going to talk to him at all.' she thought as she continued to let out her frustration on the tree. After about another half hour of training kagome went back inside. Just as she had entered the house the phone rang. Kagome picked it up and said, "Hello Higurashi residents."
"Hello is Kagome there?" a voice was heard.
"This is she...may I ask who is calling." she replied.
"This is Sango's mother, have you talked to her. She didn't come home and I would like to know if she's alright." the woman explained
"I'm sorry but I'm sure she's fine but I will can and let you know if I hear anything form her." Kagome stated.
"Alright then...thank you." was the last thing she heard before the line went dead.
'And if he let anything happen to Sango I'm going to kill him.' she thought angrily. Mean while Sango opened her eyes and found her self in a strange room. Once it registered that it wasn't her room she stood up and looked around. Just as she found her shoes the door opened and she immediately attacked and did a high kick to defend herself.
"Is this any way to treat your host?" a cold voice asked as he caught her leg in mid kick.
"Who are you? Where am I?" Sango asked as she pulled to get her leg back.
"I'm Inuyasha's brother, he and your other friend are down stairs talking." he replied and left the room.
"Shit my mom is going to kill me." Sango yelled before running down the stairs and getting the phone. Inuyasha and Miroku watched her as she dialed a phone number and waited. Ten they heard her say, "Mom...no I'm fine...no I'm at a friends house...she did o.k. I'll be home soon...ok...bye."
"Who were you talking to?" Miroku asked.
"My mom, look I have to get home so fill me in later." Sango said as she headed back up stairs to get her shoes.
"I'll take you...Miroku's staying so we'll drive you before we go and check on the others that were hurt." Inuyasha said.
"Fine, but just be careful." Sango said before leaving them alone.
"Who are we checking on first?" Miroku asked,
"Eri, Amy, then Yuki, Yumi and then I'll take you home." Inuyasha answered, 'And after words I'm going to see Kagome.' he thought.
"Don't forget Mat was hurt too." Sango's voice was heard from eh stair case.
"That's true, let's see to him first. He is after all the youngest of our group." Miroku said.
"O.K then lets' get going." Inuyasha said as she stood up
"You better be careful." a girl's voice was heard.
Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha turned to the stair case and saw a girl with Inuyasha' brother. Sesshomaru eyes were cold and Inuyasha knew that he also meant it. "I'll be fine and we will be careful."
"I have your word on this?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Yes, Miroku, Sango lets go." Inuyasha said
"Than you very much for your help." Sango said before walking out.
"Do you think they'll be o.k.?" Rin asked
"You have nothing to worry about." Sesshomaru said as he wrapped his arms around his mates waist.
"Ummm...I hope your right. How long is he planning on leading them?" Rin asked
"Don't know but I'm sure if he continues the fight will stop." Sesshomaru answered.
"O.K., would you like some breakfast?" Rin asked
"That's sounds good. I'll help you." Sesshomaru answered.
"Hey, Inuyasha what was up with your brother?" Miroku asked as they stopped at a stop light.
"I thought he was O.K." Sango added
"That's cuz you didn't know him before he lost his mind." Inuyasha told her
"Whatever, just call me if anything comes up and I'll call to your cell should any thing happen." Sango said as they parked in front of her house.
"Be careful." Miroku said
"It's my mom not my bad." Sango hissed before getting out and walking over to the house.
Sango waved at them as they drove off. Once they were gone she walked inside and was hugged by her stressed out mother. Sango smiled and hugged her mother back. After explaining what happened and where she was, Sango went to her room and dialed Kagome's number. 'What could she have wanted?' she thought as the line rang.
Kagome was on her cell phone talking with Hinata. She had called and reminded Kagome of her cell phone. They had been talking for a while about how things were and about Kagomes anger. Kagome was a little happier when the phone rang, "Oh hold on Hinata it's the home phone." Kagome said before putting the cell phone down and picking up the phone. "Hello Higurashi residents."
"Kagome...it's Sango"
"Oh, hey are you ok?" Kagome asked with a worry filled voice
"Yeah, I'm fine, so what was it you needed to talk about?" Sango asked
"Oh, that umm hold on k?"
"K"
Kagome put the phone down and picked up her cell phone to hand up with Hinata and let out a small sigh. Once she was ready she picked up the phone and asked "Was Inuyasha hurt?"
"Yeah, the worst then the rest. Why? wait...oh my god your date!" Sango yelled
"Yeah but that's ok I understand." Kagome replied.
"So your going to talk to him?" Sango asked
"I'm not that understanding, that's why I called. I'm going to e eating alone the next couple of days." Kagome explained
""But it wasn't his fault. it was Naraku's." Sango tried to convince her
"I know but that should be no excuse. At my last school I dated a guy that was the leader of a gang. He was a little late but her never stood my up." Kagome hissed
"Kagome please...you have no idea how bad you will hurt him." Sango said with a hint of anger
"And you have no idea how much it hurt me! I do like him a lot but if I'm going to be stood up every time he has a fight I won't. it just hurts to much." Kagome replied just as angrily.
"Kagome...what do you want me to tell him?" Sango asked now understanding where she came from, 'if it was Miroku I would have done alto worse than not talking to him.' she thought.
"Just tell him I don't refuse him but that I just need time to think about this." Kagome said
"Are you going to be eating alone?" Sango asked.
"Maybe, I have a friend I think you know her. Ayame?" Kagome replied.
"Yeah but they are our rivals." Sango said.
"Look I'm not in your gang so there are not mine. I have to go but I'll talk to you in class oh and tell him I'm not talking to him in class either." Kagome said before she hung up.
'Inuyasha isn't going to like this on bite.' Sango thought as she hung up the phone before picking it up again and dialed Inuyasha's number. However Miroku was the one to pick up and after a while she finally got him to hand Inuyasha the phone.
"What's up?" she heard Inuyasha say.
"Kagome told me to tell you not to expect her to talk to her during, after and before classes and that she doesn't refuse you that she just has to think." Sango said.
"What?! Damn it is she going to be with us still?" he asked now enraged
"No, she's going to be with Ayame." Sango answered.
"Did she say anything about the necklace?" he asked
"NO, so what are you going to do now?"
"Call Yuki and tell him he is to follow her until she returns to the group. Just cuz she won't be with us doesn't mean she isn't going to be protected." he answered before hanging up on her.
'Stupid baka...' Sango thought as she hung up the phone and left to take a bath. She had a bad feeling about this but there was nothing she could do about it but wait to see what tomorrow would bring.
