8- Rumors and fights

"How could you? How could you?!" Koga bellowed as he paced up and down on Kagome's front porch. She stood with her mouth open in an 'O' of surprise. "Koga, I-I, it's not what you think!" She cried, trying to make him believe.

"Then what is it, Kagome? I just seen you get out of Miroku's car! And both you and Inuyasha were in the backseat! What am I supposed to think is going on?" He demanded angrily, his blue eyed gaze boring into her chocolate one. His stare was so intense that Kagome dropped her eyes to the wood of her porch.

"Koga…you don't understand…"

"Oh, I understand just perfectly. You were with Inuyasha in the back seat of Miroku's car. So, I can catch a clue." He paused and took a deep breath, obviously very annoyed and angry. "It's over."

Kagome gasped and looked back up at him quickly just in time to see him go down the steps of her porch and started stalking down the sidewalk toward his car that was parked on the side of the road. She ran after him and stuck her hand on his shoulder, "Wait! Just let me explain and--"

He jerked his shoulder out from under her hand and looked at her with angry and sad eyes, "No! Just leave me alone and go with you new buddy Inuyasha…" He said the last part with nothing but malice in his voice. And then he turned and got into his car and sped away, the tires squealing against the asphalt.

She just stared after him, even as his car disappeared from view down the long stretch of blacktop. A tear slid down her cheek and she coughed back a hiccupping sob. But then, she could not hold it in any longer and she fell to her knees and started crying profusely. She did not care if anyone was watching her as she bawled out in the middle of her sidewalk. All she knew was that her boyfriend had dumped her and she had also lost her friends and made an enemy out of Hiten. All in one horrible day.

She shook uncontrollably as more tears fell from her eyes and down onto her face, shirt, and the concrete. What else was going to happen? She suddenly just wanted to sit there and not move and just cry until she ran out of tears. But then, someone's voice, soft and gentle and comforting, made her think otherwise and look up. It was Inuyasha. How could she think that his voice was so comforting and gentle and soft? She had no idea.

"Are you ok, Kagome?" He asked, kneeling down beside of her and placing a hand on her shoulder.

"I-I'm fine." Kagome said, trying to wipe away all of the tears and stand up. What if he was being nice for real this time? Or pretending? What was he doing this time in order to try and show her that he was a good person and not the egotistic jerk that she had once thought him to be?

She got up to her feet and stumbled because they had fallen asleep and were tingling from the fact that she had been sitting on them. "Really, I'm ok. Bye."

"No, something is wrong. What is it? You can tell me. Maybe we can even go inside and talk." He offered.

Oh no. That was so not going to happen considering that no one but Kagome was home and he could do God only knew what to her while they were there. "Um…No. I don't really want to talk about it, ok?" She replied a little hesitantly, heading for the door and unlocking it.

"Oh, ok. Maybe, I could call you sometime and talk?" He asked, watching as her as she gathered up her book bag and started to go inside.

"Uh…sure." She wrote her number down on a piece of paper inside and came back outside and handed it to him. He smiled and said, "Thanks. Talk to you tomorrow?"

"Yeah." She replied and went inside. As soon as she closed the door, Kagome realized what a big mistake she had made. Why, why, why had she given Inuyasha her phone number? Where was her brain today?

She threw her book bag down on her floor and went back down stairs to get something to eat. She got some chocolate ice cream and sat down on the couch and watched television. Why did she think about dating Inuyasha the day before? Why did she save Miroku? Why did she give Inuyasha her phone number?

So many questions and yet, not that many answers. She remembered Inuyasha's words, all right…

"Please. You have no idea how bad I want to go out with you. Just give me a chance to prove to you that I won't try to hurt your feelings. How about I take you to a movie or something. We don't have to start dating or anything. Just a simple date to the movies and that's that. I want to show you that I'm a good guy."

She sighed and finished her ice cream. She then did her homework, took a shower, and went to bed early. Maybe tomorrow would be a better day than what that day had been…

0000000000

When Kagome had gotten to school, a few girls came up to her and squealed, "Oh, my, God! I can't believe it!!" It was Yuka. She seemed very happy for some reason.

"Yeah," Yuri yelled, "Neither can I."

Kagome was totally clueless. What in the world were these two lunatics talking about? "What are you talking about?"

"You are going out with Inuyasha!" They cried in happy and envious unison.

"He is so hot…" Yuka mused.

"Yeah…and so is Miroku…" Yuri murmured.

Kagome felt like blowing up. "WHAT?! I AM NOT GOING OUT WITH INUYASHA! WHO TOLD YOU THAT?!"

Her two friends looked confused. They simply stared at her for a moment, silence passing between each of them. "Um…Koga." Yuka finally admitted, looking over in the direction of where Koga stood, talking to some of his friends, Ginta and Hikaku.

"He said that you were in the back seat of Miroku's car with Inuyasha yesterday after school." Yuri added. She smiled brightly, "I can't believe it! Some people actually said that you two were kissing."

Kagome turned as red as a tomato. She stalked past both of her friends angrily, one goal in her mind. She marched right up to Koga and said, "Why? Breaking up with me was bad enough, so why tell the whole school about your stupid assumptions?"

He just stared at her. "Go away and give your little boyfriend Inuyasha a lap dance."

That's when it happened. She could not help it. She slapped him hard across the left side of his face. He stood there, totally surprised by the impressive sound and pain of her hand making contact with his face. She was also shocked. How could she slap Koga in front of everyone? A crowd had gathered to admire the scene and see what actions Koga were going to take next. And pretty soon, he did take action. He grabbed her by the hair and jerked her close enough so she could feel his breath on her face as he snarled, "Don't you ever do that again, you bitch."

For some unknown reason, she felt the need to get cocky with him for she said, "I will if I want to, you fucking bastard."

There was some oohs and ahs from the crowd who was quite shocked and impressed by her courage. Koga was also known to be tough and he had, once, taken out two tackles on the football team. So, he would possibly not hesitate to take out a fifteen year old girl.

He was about to, in what looked like to Kagome, slap her very hard. But someone grabbed his right arm--the only one free for his left hand was holding onto the back of her hair--and swung Koga around. Inuyasha smirked right before he thrust his fist forward into Koga's face, the same thing he had done the day before to Hiten when Kagome had gotten herself stuck in that mess.

And just like yesterday, Inuyasha pulled Kagome out of the enemy's grasp and held her up against his muscular chest before setting her aside. Koga got up quickly, recovering from the punch with amazing speed, and lunged at Inuyasha. He was planning on punching Inuyasha back, but missed when he side-stepped him.

Inuyasha turned around, but had Koga's fist sink into his stomach, hard. Koga then grabbed Inuyasha by the throat and threw his back against the brick wall, scared students shuffling quickly to get out of the way. Everyone began to chant, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Kagome watched in horror as Koga put pressure against Inuyasha's throat, no doubt crushing his larynx. He coughed and struggled to breathe, clawing at Koga's hand. His face was turning very red. Just then, Ginta and Hikaku came and started to help Koga! They started to punch him in the stomach while Koga held him down by his throat. It wasn't fair. But just then, Miroku emerged from the sea of people who watched and he punched Ginta hard in the face. Then, Hikaku tackled him to the ground. Meanwhile, Koga continued to choke the life from Inuyasha. It was an all out brawl! Kagome, without thinking yet again, dived in between Koga and Inuyasha in order to attempt to split them up. But, Koga returned Kagome's previous present and slapped her hard. She fell back against Inuyasha and ignored the pain and kicked Koga in the family jewels. He let go of Inuyasha instantly to groan in pain and fall to his knees.

"Oh, God, are you ok?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha fell down as well, obviously from lack of air. He coughed and nodded, but then looked at her. "Man," He said in a raspy voice, "Your lip. It's bleeding."

"I'll be fine." She said softly, watching as he got all of the air back in him and his face went from being a tomato to a peach.

"Y-You bitch…" Koga stammered in pain as he rose to his feet. Kagome looked up at him and then stood up. Why she put herself in front of Inuyasha protectively, she did not know. What could she do? She had already slapped him and kicked him in the sensitive spot. He looked very angry. And plus, Hiten had joined in and while Ginta and Hikaku held Miroku down, Hiten kicked him in the ribs over and over again.

Kagome really wanted to help him, but she knew that if she tried to make any kind of move, Koga would have grabbed her and tried to do God knows what. As if he was not going to do that already…

He reached out and shoved her into the brick wall, her head coming in contact with it. She felt some blood run down from the new cut, but managed to ignore it. All head injuries bleed easily, she reminded herself so she would not go into shock thinking that she had practically killed herself.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha tripped Koga, making him collapse to the ground. He released Kagome and just then, the principle arrived, "What in heaven's name is going on, here?" She looked distraught and very shocked to find that seven students had gotten into a fight and some were seriously injured.

She, along with other administrative people, managed to separate everyone. Well, keep them from fighting. Inuyasha knelt down next to Kagome, Miroku at his side. "Are you ok?" Inuyasha asked her.

"Ow, ow, ow." There was blood all over her head, her shirt, and the wall. He helped her stand and all three of them--Inuyasha, Miroku, and Kagome--glared at their enemies--Koga, Hiten, Ginta, and Hikaku.

"I have never seen such violence, not go get cleaned up and see me in my office immediately." The principle ordered.

Inuyasha helped a dizzy Kagome to the bathroom--the girls bathroom of course, but it didn't bother him--and helped her clean her head up. Even though it still bled a little. Then, they proceeded to the office.

Their punishment wasn't too bad. They were all--every last one of them--suspended from school for the rest of the week which was just Thursday and Friday. Then, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. So, for about a week. Then, after that, they told Inuyasha, Kagome, and Miroku to go home.

And so they did.

"I'm sorry about all of this," Kagome apologized, "I mean, you didn't have to defend me, you know."

"Yeah," Inuyasha replied, keeping his eyes elsewhere, "But I chose to."

"Plus," Miroku added, "We wanted to help kick his ass anyway. I mean, after dumping you like that. It wasn't right."

Kagome's head was still hurting, but she paid it no mind at all. She felt sorry for Inuyasha and Miroku. Inuyasha was having a hard time speaking and breathing with his bruised larynx and Miroku had bruised--and maybe even cracked--ribs.

And she had a busted lip and a cut head.

All because of her resentment for Koga telling everyone rumors. Well, part of those rumors were true--the part where she was in the backseat of Miroku's car and Inuyasha was there with her. But, did he have to go and say that they were kissing? No. He did not have to.

But he did.

And that caused a fight to break out. And everyone to get hurt in some way.

And yet, she suddenly felt as if she did not hate Inuyasha all that much. But she still had to wait and see if he was being sincere. Maybe then she would give him a chance.

They dropped her off at home and she went inside to find a note from her mom, brother, and grandpa. It read:

Kagome,

Your brother, grandpa, and I have had to drive a long ways away in order to see my brother. He is very sick and I think that we may stay here for a couple days. You are a big girl and I trust you very much. I love you!

Mom.

Oh, great. So now she was alone. Well, that would spare her to yelling from her mother and grandpa for fighting and getting suspended.

After putting the note down, she went up to her room, covered the pillow with a towel for her head was still bleeding, and went to sleep…
