16- Almost like Romeo and Juliet

Kagome had been happy all throughout school on Monday after her date with Inuyasha on Sunday. He had kissed her and she had returned it-not to mention enjoyed it as well. After their kiss, Inuyasha had told her goodbye and that he'd see her on Wednesday at school if not before. And she had said a lame, "Ok, bye."

Now, here she sat at lunch with Sango, Rin, Shirori, and, unfortunately, Kikyo had joined them. They were all discussing their weekends and what they were doing. Everything was going really well…

"So, Kagome, what'd you do over the weekend?" Rin asked.

"Oh, nothing." Kagome lied.

"Yeah, right," Sango spoke up suddenly, "You went out with Inuyasha."

Kikyo, Shiori, and Rin jumped up suddenly, shaking the table a little, "Get out!" they chorused in unison. "You're joking!"

Kagome sighed. It was going to get out sooner or later, "No, I'm not joking. We went to the skating rink, ok?"

"Details!" Rin cried, "Give us details."

Kagome rolled her eyes, "We skated, he asked me to the dance" -Kagome noticed a big tinge of jealousy flash across Kikyo's face, delightfully so- "and then we kissed. Big deal."

Sango also jumped up to join the other girls. This detail, she had not heard. "What? You never told me that!"

Kagome smiled nervously, "Um…yeah. Sorry bout that."

A girl walked by. It was Sotan, Hiten's girlfriend. Since her boyfriend was suspended, she was headed over to sit with Kagura and Kanna, a bunch of really mean girls who hung out with Naraku, a big time ass-hole. "Tell your boyfriend that I said good job."

Kagome was confused, "What?"

"Tell him," Sotan said, glowering down at Kagome with her blue eyes, "that he did a really good job canceling the dance." And then she walked away.

Kagome watched her as she left. It was not Inuyasha's fault that Koga just happened to beat him up and had his little buddies to help. That only pissed Inuyasha off more and then the door was shattered when he tackled Koga through it.

"What?" Kikyo looked shocked, "What does she mean by 'he did a really good job canceling the dance'?"

"She means," Sango said, "that Inuyasha and Koga got into a fight over Kagome and they were the ones who busted those doors up."

Kikyo, Shiori, and Rin gasped, "Oh, so that's how the doors were busted up." Rin said softly.

"Way to go, slut," Said another girl to Kagome who walked by the table.

Kagome groaned and stood up, "I'm suddenly not hungry," She lied, "See you guys later." With that, she turned and threw her food away before exiting the cafeteria. She stood out in the hallway against her locker, her eyes closed. Why was everyone being mean to her? Sure, Inuyasha was sort of her boyfriend and sure, he and Koga had demolished those double doors. But, so what? What gave them the right to mess with her?

She sighed heavily. She had already gotten her books and held them in her hands. She could have gone to class, but chose to just cool off instead. She was way too stressed out.

"Hey, Kagome. Is something wrong?"

Kagome snapped her eyes open and saw Hojo standing in front of her with concern etched in his face. His brown hair was falling into his face.

"Oh, no," She answered, looking away. "Just tired."

"Are you sure it's not about how everyone is telling you bad things because of something Inuyasha and Koga done?" He inquired.

Kagome looked up at him and saw that he had a slight smile on his face. She sighed in defeat and said, "Ok, it's that. I mean, why do they have to say things like that to me?"

"It's because you are Inuyasha's girlfriend and therefore, you are connected to him. And plus, they were fighting over you, right? That's why." Hojo said wisely.

"Oh." Was all that Kagome said.

"Hey, Kagome," Miroku said suddenly, appearing out of nowhere it seemed. "How's it going?"

"I better leave you two alone. I gotta get to class, anyway." Hojo said, "Bye Kagome."

"Bye," She said to Hojo. To Miroku, she said, "Ok, I guess."

"That's good," He replied softly. "I heard what happened with Inuyasha. I'm sorry about everyone pointing you out and being angry with you, Kagome. Is there something I could do for you?"

"Oh, no," Kagome said, brushing off his offer with a wave of her hand, "Don't worry about it. Honestly, Miroku, you, Sango, and Inuyasha worry too much."

He smiled, "It's our job to worry over you, Kagome." The bell rang, signaling that lunch was now over and it was time for everyone to go back to class, "Well, I guess I should get going. Bye, Kagome."

"Bye." She replied, almost sad that they had to leave each other's company. All she wanted to do was sit and chat. But school was a very demanding place to learn, not socialize. She turned and went to her last class.

Math was Kagome's last class. As she sat at the end of the row next to an empty seat-Inuyasha's seat-she could not help but feel lonely. She remembered that Monday when they decided to put Inuyasha in that class because his grades were very good. She had hated him back then and he obviously did not like her for who she was but because he was some player wanting the biggest record of dumped girls as possible.

The class went by pretty quickly and, as Kagome got up to leave and walk home, someone muttered behind her, "Way to go, Higurashi. You, Koga, and that ass-hole boyfriend of your got the dance canceled."

Kagome spun around to find Kagura standing behind her. She sighed before replying calmly, but totally feeling anger build within her, "I don't see why everyone is so worked up about it," She glared at the girl who had, strangely, red eyes, "I mean, you will still have a dance, just later on. So, who cares? I don't. I am patient enough to wait, unlike you and your little buddies."

She then turned and stalked away.

Kagura did not bother her as she left. And neither did anyone else, maybe because they were too busy conversing with their friends. Whatever the case, Kagome got home safely. And as soon as she did, she found a note saying that her mom, grandpa, and brother were gone to her Uncle's house because he was having health problems.

Kagome was strictly forbidden from having anyone other than Sango, Miroku, or Inuyasha over. She was also not allowed to have sex, drink alcohol, do drugs, or go into town. She could go across the street and around the neighborhood, but she was not allowed to go to where great crowds of people lingered.

She laughed a little. It was not as if she was going to have sex, drink, or do drugs. She never did any of that and probably never would. Well, except for the sex part, but she was sure that would be later on.

She carelessly tossed her things onto the couch and got some ice cream from the fridge, glancing out of the kitchen window at Inuyasha's house. His mustang was gone, so obviously, he wasn't there. Unless his brother took for a ride again and probably wrecked it. She giggled and went and watched television for a while, finishing the ice cream and finally deciding to call Sango. She did and no one was there.

"Hmm," She said to no one in particular. "I wonder where she is. Maybe I should give Miroku a call and see what he's up to."

She called and got the answering machine. She sighed and hung up the phone. They were probably out shopping or whatever. She trudged back up to her room and began to work on homework. She had a very, very big test she needed to study for…

It was late and Kagome had just put on pajama pants and a tank top and had curled up underneath the covers, the coolness of the sheets soothing her tired body.

She had lain there for about ten minute, unable to fall asleep, when she heard it. Something was tapping against her balcony door. It was light tapping, very audible, but gentle. It sounded almost like…

She jumped up and glanced out at the moonlit soaked ground and found Inuyasha standing there. He had been throwing tiny little pebbles to wake her up. She slid the door opened and stepped outside into the chilly, night air. "What do you want?" She hissed.

"Oh," He said, putting on a fake hurt expression, "So, you don't want me around? Is that it?"

"No," She said quickly, "It's late, why are you here?"

"To see you."

Those three words he murmured softly made her suddenly feel like Juliet and he was Romeo. Not that he was really like Romeo; they were just in the same positions they were in. Almost.

"Can I come in?"

"What?" Kagome demanded as if he had just asked her to marry him, "Are you crazy?"

"Just for a minute," He begged, "And no, I'm not crazy."

Kagome sighed and said, "Ok. Be quiet and don't look suspicious. People will think you're robbing the place or something."

He smiled and went to the front. She closed the door and went to the front as well, unlocking the door and letting him in before closing it and locking it behind him. He looked around at the place, having never been inside before, nor having ever seen it. "Nice place."

"Thanks." She said, sort of irritably and bitterly.

He turned to face her, "What's the matter? Don't you like having me around?"

"Of course I do," She said softly, "It's late, I'm tired, and I don't know when my mom will be back and I could get into trouble if she find you here and…"

"Hey," Inuyasha said, reaching forward and placing and hand on her shoulder, "Quit talking so fast."

She just looked up at him tiredly, "Sorry. I ramble like that when I'm tired or nervous."

"Well," He said with a boyish smirk, "let me wake you up." He leaned forward and kissed her full on the lips. They both instinctively wrapped their arms around each other, Inuyasha pulling her closer by the waist while she held onto his neck. He nipped at her bottom lip gently, asking for her to open her mouth. She did and he slid his tongue in and let it explore. He let his hands roam over her curvy body, up and down her hips.

He wanted to do more, but the lack of oxygen hit and they stopped kissing, still holding one another in a tight, warm embrace.

"I love you, Kagome." He gasped between breaths.

"I love you, too, Inuyasha." She kissed him a little more before stopping and saying, "I think it's time for you to go. I've got to go to school tomorrow, remember? And it just so happens that I have a test tomorrow, too."

He smiled, rolled his eyes, and said, "ok. I'll be back at school on Wednesday. If anything happens between then, let me know, got it?"

Kagome suddenly wanted to tell him right then about how everyone had been messing with her that day because of Inuyasha and Koga being the reasons the dance was canceled. She refrained from doing so, however, and said, "Sure will. Bye. I might see you tomorrow."

He kissed her once more before leaving. Kagome locked the door, went up to her room and watched him go. Once she knew he was at home, she got under the covers and went to sleep instantly, dreaming of Inuyasha.

How was it? I think it was too short, but please don't sue me! This was sort of like a filler-chapter. Review, please!
