Previosuly

They all nodded and he pulled her out of the doors. He pulled her into the car and sent a note to his mom and reception to tell the office that Kagome had indeed injured herself, and was treated and sent home. Then he drove them to a place they hadn't seen for five years. They had left that day, and decided not to come back without the other. He went up before her and helped her up on "her" branch.

" I decided to take you here cause this seems to be the place we always used to talk. And you used to be so certain here. It's time to be certain again. Do you, or do you not love me?"

"….."

She closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. She wanted to…but he…he was just getting over Kikyo. She sighed but Kikyo shouldn't have to ruin them.

" I love you…but are you sure you are ready? I mean you JUST broke up with Kikyo. Are you sure you're ready to go out with anyone?"

" Yea. Kikyo was a whore and a poser. I found out that she only dresses like a punk when I see her, otherwise, she's a prep. But you're different, I dunno why, but you are."

" I have this real crazy theory. Do you remember when you told me about your great great grandfather, InuYasha?"

" Yeah…."

"Well I found out that I'm descended from the Miko in the story. It turns out that she disappeared after the final battle with Naraku's great great grandfather. Apparently, the two were fated to fall in love, but never actually admitted their love for one another. And I think…….I think that we're here to fix their mistakes. I think we're supposed to fall in love….just like they were supposed to. See cause you have the same name as your ancestor and so do I. I think this is fate. Your supposed to choose me over Kikyo."

" Well, that is one strange theory but I think you're right. I don't know about you, but whenever we kiss, it feels much different than what other kisses have been to me. What about you?"

" Yeah. Let's test that theory again?"

they leaned in and their lips met. Something connected and it was perfect. This was so much better than any other kiss. Passionate, gentle, sexy, it all fit together to make the perfect kiss to tempt fate. As they broke apart, Kagome couldn't believe how long she had waited for him. Suddenly her cell phone rang.

" OH NO! Oh I'm sorry Sensei! I'll be there in a bit. Just start class! I'll catch up."

She snapped her phone shut and jumped out of the tree, forgetting InuYasha was there.

" WHOA! Where are you going?"

" I have to get to Kyuki-do! Today was test preparation and I'm supposed to train and also help the young students who will be testing for the first time. I have to go!"

" Do you need a ride?"

" A ride would be nice. I need to go to my house to pick up my uniform. I really have to go!"

" If I give you a ride, I get to watch you!"

" NO!"

" Kagome, I have never seen you do this, yet you've been in the newspaper for your skills six times! I wanna watch you. I wanna see the ' Beautiful Skilled Kyuki-do star' in action!"

Deciding that now was not the time to argue, she gave in. He cheered for a moment, but stopped when Kagome glared at him. He drove like a maniac, stopping in three minutes flat. You'd expect that Kagome would have lived like a hour away, they way she was talking, but no, she lived behind the dojang. She whispered a hushed apology to her Sensei, and went to change. When she came out, InuYasha's jaw dropped. She wore a black uniform, with the symbol of the federation in white. She didn't wear shoes, as it was against the rules of the place. Her belt was blue. Her hair was tied back with a white ribbon. She wore no makeup, as that also was against her principles in here. She wanted to look natural, because the movements were pretty natural to her.

" Kagome?"

" Yes Sensei?"

" I am going to have you do your forms, as the younger students or the students in lower rank have asked to see what they look like. Plus you could use the practice for your test on Sunday."

She nodded, and acted professional when he called her up. Inside she was shaking, as InuYasha smiled at her. She began, her face totally morphed into determination. It was all perfect, until, she slipped. Something was wrong. She had landed too quickly, unable to fall properly. She tried to get up but suddenly, she fell again, because most likely she had broken her ankle. She motioned for help, and her Sensei picked her up and bowed her out of the Dojang. She limped to a chair, with InuYasha guiding her. He helped her into the car and drove to the hospital.

" Kagome, I'm afraid to say that you're ankle is broken, and your leg actually is too. Both broke in two places. You are not able to do any gym, or gym related activites, like your Kyuki-do. It is unfortunate, since a lot of the community was coming to watch you. You won't be participating for twelve weeks."

" TWELVE!?"

" Again, I'm sorry but your leg and ankle aren't in bad enough condition to perform surgery, so you're stuck."

She left, on a wheelchair, which the doctors prescribed her, and went home. First, she went to The Dojang, which luckily her sensei was still there. She explained and he told her he'd refund her test money, and take her out of the testing spot. She went home, Inuyasha staying with her. She started to cry. ' I worked so damn hard! Why?" Inuyasha didn't have anything to say. She turned on her stereo to Simple Plan. The song she turned it to ' Welcome To My Life." She started to sing, while crying, cause this song helped her through a lot. For instance, when she found out that InuYasha was with Kikyo.

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like (what it's like)

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life

" Kagome, Did you listen to that, after you found out about me and Kikyo?"

" Yea, and it helped. Considering the line, Nobody ever stabbed you in the back, applied to Kikyo, since you stabbed me in the back with one of her fucking stilettos. Just to inform you, it hurt like hell. "

He took her into his arms, and whispered how sorry he was. He supposed he could have taken Kagome sooner, but something about Kikyo had had him hooked. She nodded it off and told him it was okay if he went home. He reluctantly agreed. It was late and he had some homework left to do. As he drove home, a heavy rain was falling, and his windshield wipers didn't work too well. He began to pray.
