21- Thankful It's Friday
Kagome had gotten up in time for school, got dressed, and left, dreading the fact that she had even decided to go. She knew that it was for the best, that she needed an education-more than a boyfriend. And also, her mother would be infuriated if she found out that her fifteen years old daughter was laying out of school, mulling over a guy.
As she exited her house and went out into the cold, winter air, she prayed that she could just be alone to think. She really did not feel like conversing, especially that early in the morning.
Her mind kept going back to thinking of Inuyasha and how he had been with Kikyo two days before in the hallway after school. He had gone against her, probably even cheating on her during their entire relationship.
But, for reasons that she could not fathom, Kagome was having doubts about his cheating on her. It was almost as if she was starting to believe his explanation from the day before.
But she was not, was she? She was almost positive that she was doing the right thing yesterday by ending their relationship. Now, however, she felt like she had done the wrong thing; made the wrong decision.
It was as if she was feeling guilty for him all of a sudden.
As she came closer to the entrance of the school building, Kagome managed to push aside the guilty feeling that lingered inside of her stomach, inside of her breaking heart.
Kagome entered the school and went straight to homeroom where, after she had gotten her books and everything she needed, and was headed back to her desk, she bumped into someone.
She peeked up timidly to find Inuyasha. He was looking down at her with his sad and lonely eyes. She wanted to say something, but she had no idea of what to tell him. That she was sorry? Yes, in a strange way, she really was sorry.
He said nothing and walked right past her, his head hung low. Kagome watched him leave the room, probably going to go get his books. Then, she sat at her desk, pulled out a book, and began to read, hoping that it would get Inuyasha off of her mind.
AT LUNCH
Everyone at Kagome's table was very silent, lost in their own sea of thoughts. What's amusing is that they all had the same thoughts in their minds: Was Kagome going to be all right? Why had Inuyasha done such a thing?
The only person at the whole table that could care less about Kagome's well being was Kikyo. She sat up tall with a malevolent smile on her face that no one seemed to notice. Her plan to separate Inuyasha and Kagome had worked. Unfortunately, Inuyasha was still uninterested in her and was too busy trying to get Kagome back. Oh well, she knew she would have to keep trying. He would give up on getting Kagome back eventually and come to her.
"Kagome," Sango spoke u. Miroku was right beside of her. "I'm sorry about all of this." As she spoke, she saw that Inuyasha was sitting alone at a table in a corner of the cafeteria. She whispered in Miroku's ear and told him and he got up and went over to his lonely friend, sat down, and began to talk with him.
"It's not your fault, Sango," Kagome said softly, barely heard over the noisy buzz of the students in the large lunchroom.
No, it's not her fault, Kikyo thought with a sly grin. She was having a hard time keeping the truth behind her marvelous idea a secret; it was just too brilliant to hide. It's my entire fault! It's all because of me that you and Inuyasha are no longer together!
Over with Inuyasha and Miroku, they were talking about what had happened on Wednesday when Inuyasha had returned.
"She kissed you?" Miroku's eyes went wide in shock and surprise and his voice grew a little louder. Inuyasha quieted him down.
"Yeah." He replied calmly. "That bitch framed me."
"And Kagome believed it?" Miroku demanded, hardly able to believe it. "And she dumped you for it?"
"I would probably do the same thing if I were in her position." Inuyasha replied, "I don't blame her. But I just wish that I could tell her that it was the wrong thing to do and that I didn't cheat on her."
There was a thoughtful silence, both of them were just thinking about the current situation. What could they do to get Kagome to trust Inuyasha again? Was there anything they could do?
As lunch ended and they got up to leave, Inuyasha ran right into Koga, who said menacingly, "Watch where you're going, ass clown."
Inuyasha glared at him, "Look who's talking. You know, if you would look in a mirror once in a while, then you'd think before you speak."
Koga said nothing in reply. He just stared at Inuyasha, looking very murderous.
Miroku nervously pulled on Inuyasha's arm in an attempt to usher him back to class and out of the cafeteria and possibly away from another fight with Koga. Inuyasha was stubborn, but he left anyway, not wanting to get suspended again.

During her last class, Kagome tried her best to ignore Inuyasha as he sat beside of her, trying to communicate with her whenever the teacher was not aware. When she did not respond, however, he began scribbling on a piece of paper, which he handed to her. It read:
Let's talk.
Kagome read it, then reluctantly replied to his request and handed it back to him:
Let's not.
Inuyasha was not pleased by her answer, so he wrote back, very persistent:
Please, Kagome. She set me up! Honest! I would never ever have kissed her. I don't even like her.
Kagome read the note before tossing it back to him without replying.
Suddenly, the hallway filled with stentorian noises and shouts of "Fight! Fight!" The teacher raced outside in order to separate the fighting teenagers. His class also got up and followed outside, curious and glad to see a fight.
The only two in the room were Inuyasha and Kagome.
"Please," He pleaded once everyone in the room had left. His voice was echoing. "She really did set me up. I'm telling the truth. I would never do anything to hurt you, Kagome. I love you."
Kagome gasped, not really knowing how to handle his choice of words. Was he actually being honest and telling her how he really felt deep down inside? His expression did seem sincere.
But what if it was a trick? So many people had told her different versions of what had happened and she was now not sure of who to trust.
Inuyasha stood up, causing Kagome to get up as well, afraid to be so low compared to someone as tall as he was. She took a step back when he came forward. "Kagome," He murmured. His look was distant and he seemed so sad. "Please don't be mad at me."
Kagome backed up again, stumbling over her chair and falling backward. Inuyasha thrust his hands out and caught her swiftly.
She almost wanted to pass out. Actually, she did not know what she wanted to do, exactly. Her head was spinning. She had not been in his arms, his warm strong embrace, in such a long time. As he cradled her in his arms, familiarity crept back over them and they both just stood there like that, for a few moments, but it felt like and eternity
Finally realizing what was happening, Kagome regained her composure and stood up straight and brushed his hands off of her, "I can stand on my own." Those were the first words she had spoken to him since the day before.
He stepped back and cast his gaze downward. Then he took his seat, not looking at her.
As the class and the teacher came filing back in, Kagome took her seat as well.
"Now then," The teacher said, "Due to your getting out of your seats and going outside to witness a fight, you all have silent lunch. He paused and looked at Inuyasha and Kagome. "That is, everyone but Inuyasha and Kagome have silent lunch. Unlike the rest of you, they remained in the class room."
Kagome could care less about whether or not she had silent lunch. She was hardly ever talking to anyone, now. She hardly ever said anything to her mother when she called from her uncle's house. So, why would she miss having lunch where she could talk?
After school, Kagome headed home alone. As she walked, her mind was on Inuyasha. She headed past Kikyo, who was with Kagura and Kanna and Naraku. The girls ignored her, but Kagome noticed the lustful looks that Naraku was sending her way.
She felt very uncomfortable, so she sped up her pace in order to get home faster. Once home, she went inside, locked the door, went up to her room and collapsed onto her bed, thankful that it was Friday and she had the weekend alone…

Hi everyone! I hope you enjoyed it! Sorry that it was short and sounded bad with Kagome not talking to Inuyasha. It will get better later on, I promise. Until then, please review! Thanks!
