Love and Betrayal
Chapter 3

Inuyasha
I walk out of the school, a scowl on my face, and head to the Higurashi house. "Don't see why I have to go. I wasn't the one who was throwing the eggs!" I kept mumbling under my breath. "What are you complaining about? My mother stopped you from having to spend the night locked up! That would have gone on your permanent record, you know!" A voice from behind me yells. I turn around and glare at the offending person, only to find that it's Kagome. "So, what you're saying is I should be grateful to your mother?" I yell the last part at the top of my lungs, the people around us stop and stare. Kagome glares back. "Yes! You're nothing but a conceited JERK!" yells Kagome. I turn away from her, tired of arguing, and continue to walk. After about a block I start to notice someone is following me. I look behind me, sure enough there is Kagome. "Why are you following me?"I yell in her face. Kagome stops walking and glares at me. "I'M GOING HOME, YOU CONCIETED JERK!" she yells and shoves past me and goes up the stairs to her house. "HEY WAIT!" I yell and run after her.
Inuyasha
I come in the door after Kagome. Kagome's mother hands me a bucket and a broom. "Sweep the stairs, porch and temple. Scrub the floor in the kitchen. And then come back to me and I'll give you some more work." She hands me a sponge and then sends me out the door.
*30 minutes later*
After I finish sweeping and mopping I find Mrs. Higurashi. "What do you want me to do next, Mrs. Higurashi?" I ask her in a way that said I didn't really want to be there. Mrs. Higurashi looks at me and smiles. "You can go rearrange our storage unit!" I start to walk off but Mrs. Higurashi calls me back. "Wait! I'll have Kagome help you!" I tried to tell her that I would do it by myself but she wouldn't let me. Mrs. Higurashi walks to the stairs. "Kagome! Come down stairs!" Kagome comes down the stairs. "What do you need mom?" she asks in a pleasant voice. "Would you please help Inuyasha with the storage unit?" Kagome's mouth drops open. "B-but mom!" she stutters. "Now, now Kagome. Go help Inuyasha." She pushed both of us towards the door, handing us a trashcan as she ushers us through the door.
Kagome
"Don't know why I have to help this stupid guy!" I kept mumbling under my breath. Inuyasha walks behind me, at a slow pace. "It's not like I asked to work with you!" he yells, while trailing behind her. Kagome stops moving and turns to me. "Will you just shut up? Let's get this over with!" we walk into the storage unit and Inuyasha stares at the room. "You guys are slobs!" he exclaims, loudly. "Hey, shut up!" we begin to pile stuff in the trash bags.
Inuyasha and I take a step back and look at the products of our labor.
"I think we did a good job!" I say, with a satisfied look on my face.
"Yeah, we did great!" Inuyasha exclaimed. We look at each other and smile. I could feel myself getting sucked into his eyes. Inuyasha stopped smiling and leaned into me.
…
"Kagome! Inuyasha! I made you a snack!" my mother yelled from the house.
We pull away from each other, a blush decorating our cheeks. "So…." I say, dragging it out. "Let's go eat!" I walk past him but he grabs my arm. I turn back to him.
"What?" I ask, nervously. He just stares at me. I pull my arm back and walk away, never looking back.
Inuyasha
I stare at Kagome, as she walks away, and wonder why I felt so strongly about her just a moment ago. It felt like she was the only girl in the world.
"I've never felt like this about Kikyo!" I think to myself as I walk towards the Higurashi house.
Kagome
"I hope mom doesn't make me help Inuyasha again!" I think to myself as I walk towards home after school.
"KAGOME!" I hear behind me. I keep walking, ignoring the person.
"KAGOME! WAIT UP!" I turn around this time, already knowing it was Inuyasha. He catches up with me, out of breath. "Why did you keep walking? Didn't you hear me?" I ignore me and keep walking.
I could hear Inuyasha running behind me. "KAGOME! Stop running!" he shouts at me. I look around us; people are beginning to stare at us. I suddenly stop and Inuyasha runs into me. I turn around and glare at him, he backs away.
"Inuyasha, if you have not NOTICED people are STARING at US! STOP yelling and CHASING ME!" I turn around and walk away, ignoring him as he follows behind.
We walk up the steps to my house, not uttering a single word.
Inuyasha
I walk behind Kagome, trying not to bug her, trying to figure out what was up with her.
"Could it be PMS?" I think to myself. "No, surly not!"
"What am I going to do about her?"
She drives me crazy in two ways:
Sometimes I want to kill her.
I just want to kiss her.
My emotions confused me sometimes.
We enter her house; Mrs. Higurashi greets us with a smile.
"Hello how was your day at school?" she asks both of us. We both shrug. "Well Inuyasha I need the house painted." She says, like she just asked me to bake cookies with her.
"It's such a large task! Have Kagome help you!" she pushes us out the door, just like yesterday. Kagome and I stammer, just like yesterday. (This is a repeat of yesterday!)
"The paint is in the shed!" she said as she shut the door behind us.
"Well your mom is certainly energetic!" I say, trying to make a joke.
Kagome crosses her arms. "Shut up and go get the paint!" she yells at me.
Mrs. Higurashi
I stand by the window and watch Kagome and Inuyasha paint the house, and smile. I am trying to push them together. I could feel their attraction to one another, the attraction they couldn't even detect themselves….yet. Yesterday, after they arranged the storage unit, I saw that they had felt the first signs of the attraction. I know all I needed to do now was push them together.
I just wanted to see my daughter happy; I think Inuyasha is the perfect boy for her.
I smile and continue to watch my daughter and future son in law.
Kagome
"You're making it look ugly! It's getting blotchy! Smooth it out!" yells Inuyasha at me.
"Shut up!" I yell at him, while I continue to smother paint on the same spot. Inuyasha steals the paint brush from me.
"Give that back!" I yell swinging for his head. Inuyasha ducks at the last minute and my momentum pulls me backwards. I scream, halfway towards the ground.
Suddenly I felt strong arms around me and a warm body against mine. I look up, it was Inuyasha.
"You okay?" he asks me, concern evident in his voice. I nod stupidly. He puts me on the ground, my legs feel like jelly.
Inuyasha grabs my arms again and hold me to him. I blush and look down at my feet. My heart beat picks up.
"Thank you for saving me!" I say a little breathlessly. Wait….when had I become breathless?
During my fall? Yeah, we'll go with that!
"Are you sure you're okay?" he asks me. I must have a stupid look on my face. I nod again.
Suddenly, I am all too aware of his body holding mine. I look Inuyasha in the eye, and become mesmerized by his gaze. He leans in closer, closing the distance between us.
I close my eyes, ready for his warm lips on mine.
….
Mrs. Higurashi
I watch as Inuyasha caught my daughter, and smile. I was worried there for a minute. I see Inuyasha grab her and set her down on the ground, and my daughter trip. Inuyasha grabs her, steadying her. I see my daughter blush, and look away from him.
In the next minute they are getting close to kissing.
"This is it!" I think to myself, acting like a school girl.
They lean in closer….
Closer…..
CLOSER…..
Kagome
Inuyasha leans closer to kiss me; I can almost feel his lips on mine….
"Hey guys!" says a male voice from behind us.
Inuyasha and I break apart and blush, looking down.
"Hey, Koga." Inuyasha says. I look up; I feel the heat start to leave my face.
"What are you two up to?" Koga asks us, looking between us with a curious gaze. "We are painting my house." I say, trying not to look Koga in the eye.
"What is it you wanted Koga?" Inuyasha asks in an angry voice. Koga shrugs. "I was just in the neighborhood and I saw you and thought 'let's see what Inuyasha is doing?'" he walks over to me. "What is your name, sweetheart?" he asks in, what I suppose, what is supposed to be a smooth voice. I laugh. "Kagome Higurashi. And yours?" I ask politely. He kisses my hand. "Koga LaWolf." He kisses my hand again. "What an interesting name." I say. From the corner of my eye I see Inuyasha seething.
"is he jealous?" I think to myself, hopefully.
"Koga, why don't we leave?" Inuyasha says forcing Koga's hand away from mine.
"Okay whatever you say." And with that they were gone.
"Does Inuyasha have feelings for me?" I ask myself. I smile and run back into the house.
Mrs. Higurashi
"Damn, I really was hoping that was going to be THE moment." I think to myself.
Oh well, this added person could make this story interesting.
Mrs. Higurashi continued to think and look out the window.
Inuyasha
I drag Koga along after me. "What were you thinking?" I ask him. He smiles. "I saw a pretty girl! They are my weakness." He said in explanation. I roll my eyes. "You better stay away from that girl." I say. Koga laughs. "You better watch out, Inuyasha." I look at him. "What are you talking about?" Koga laughs. "You better watch out; you sound like a jealous boyfriend!" I can feel the heat crawling up on my face.
"Do I sound like a jealous boyfriend?" I ask myself.
No, I couldn't sound like a jealous boyfriend; I'm not Kagome's boyfriend, I'm Kikyo's.
"What are you talking about?" I deny to Koga, who just shrugs. "Whatever you say, man!" Koga says as he walks away.
"I don't love Kagome! Do I?"
