Chapter 8

Inuyasha ran into the room and looked for any sign that what had just been told to him was a lie. When he found everything that belonged to Kagome gone he fell to his need in grief. He had no idea how he would get her to forgive him or what he could possibly do. Sesshomaru and Miroku stood behind him and not knowing what to do, Inuyasha was than given a reality check at his brothers' words.

"Probably for the best…after all you are Kikiyo's boyfriend." Sesshomaru stated.

"Sorry Inu but Sesshomaru is right…either you break it off with Kikiyo or you stay with her." Miroku added.

"I don't know…I guess I want both of them." Inuyasha replied.

Before anything else could be said Inuyasha was punched and kicked to the floor before he heard his brothers cold vice say, "You disgust me brother, chose or have neither one." before he walked out.

"I thought you didn't like Kagome, what happened between you two?" Miroku asked once Sesshomaru was gone.

"My mind tells me Kikiyo is who I belong with but my heart aches when I see Kagome so far away." Inuyasha explained.

"Damn, Inu…you really need to think about this." Miroku said.

"Yeah, I guess I do." Inuyasha replied.

The next 12 days went by painfully slow. Inuyasha couldn't think straight because he wanted nothing more then to get Kagome's forgiveness. Once they got back Rin and Sango went straight to their dorm to unpack. They had arrived during lunch and were expected to show up to their last two blocks. Kagome had just finished eating when she felt a familiar aura near her. She picked up her things and began to walk away. When the person would not stop following her she stopped and said, "Stay away form me…give me time to think."

"Kagome please…" Inuyasha tried to explain.

"Save it…just get back to my sister and leave me alone." She yelled as the ground slightly shook.

Inuyasha watched as Kagome left and met up with his brother. As he began to walk to his class he met up with Kikiyo and was confused. He wanted to get Kagome to like him but their was this force that held him back. That after noon Kagome had staid after class to work on her archery when she felt her sister close by. She placed her bow down and said, "What now Kikiyo?"

"Why did you dispel him…now I have to fix it." She hissed as she formed an energy ball.

"Have him for all I care…just leave me the fuck alone." Kagome said as she made afire ball. "Unless you want me to burn your so call pretty face." She added with a grin.

"Fine…but I'll have the last laugh soon sister." Kikiyo hissed as she walked away.

After Kikiyo had left Kagome had been on her way back to the dorms when Koga sopped her. Kagome was so lost in thought that she didn't ever catch what he had told her, so she looked at him and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said thank you…I found my soul mate and we will be getting married once I leave high school." Koga repeated.

'Your welcome…um I have to go but we'll talk later." Kagome said.

"Ok later Kagome." He said and ran off.

Kagome walked up to her dorm and found it to be packed. As soon as she saw Inuyasha she looked away and went straight to her room. For the rest of the semester Kagome ignored and refused to speak with Inuyasha what so ever. It was the week of finals and Kagome had just started when she was told to report to the office. Kagome walked in and was show n to one of the conference rooms to find her parents. Kagome let out a long sight before saying, "I'm not taking my final for this? What did I do now?"

"Don't you take that kind of tone with us young lady." Her father said.

"We need to know whose parents we will be inviting to the house." Her mother added.

"Should have seen this coming…Inuyasha and Sesshomaru Takahashi, Sango Kiroshi and Miroku Hoshi." Kagome answered.

"Will you be bringing a guest?" her father asked.

"No, now can I leave." Kagome hissed.

"Very well…however we would like to know why you came back early from your trip." Her mother replied as a barrier went up and around the door.

"You should know, seeing as how you planned it all…Why do you want me so close to the very thing that breaks me?!" Kagome yelled with fury.

"The elders wish to see if you can keep control over the very thing that breaks you." Her father answered as if it were the simplest task of all time.

"We have to see if you will need more training during college." Her mother added.

"Whatever, just leave me be until I get home." Kagome said as she easily broke her mothers barrier and walked out.

After staying twenty minutes after school to finish her final, Kagome went up to her dorm and found it to be crowded again. After what had occurred that day she just wanted to be alone. Kagome threw her stuff into her room and stormed out. She ran to her car and drove to the only place where she felt sane.

"Kinata can I please use your dojo?" Kagome asked.

"Of course...what's up?" her cousin asked as she closed the house door to show her to the dojo.

"My parents...I need your theories and all the information you've got on this curse and how to get rid of it." She answered they neared the dojo.

"OK, are you staying for dinner?" she asked.

"Yeah." was all Kagome said before threw herself at the punching bag.

'It never had a chance.' Kinata thought as she walked out to go started on dinner.

As Kagome chewed her food she couldn't believe how accurate and how everything in the paper made sense. After swallowing her food she looked up at her cousin and asked, "Have you shown them this?"

"Shown who?" she replied.

"Kinata...the elders have to see this...it might work." Kagome said.

"I tried to but they said it was a waste of time. That and I think I don't want to get rid of the curse." Kinata replied.

"Oh well um thanks but I have to get back now...see you over the holidays." Kagome said as she got up.

"Glad I could help." she said with a smile. 'You will end this I just know it.' she thought.

Kagome walked out and drove back to the school. She was walking back to her dorm when she heard Kikiyo's moaning. Kagome quickly passed by not wanting to get in the middle of it and went to her dorm. Once there, she found Inuyasha, Rin, Sesshomaru, Sango and Miroku all were watching a movie. Kagome placed her keys down and said, "I have some bad new."

"For all of us or for Rin and Sango?" Miroku asked.

"For all of you guys so put the movie on pause." Kagome answered.

"What's wrong?" Rin replied as she turned to face her.

"My mom and dad came and talked to me today." she began.

"What THEY want." Sango hissed.

"Apparently who ever was invited their parents are going to be invited as well." Kagome answered.

"So our parents are going to be there?" Miroku asked.

"Yeah, so they might want to keep you close to them." Kagome answered.

"Just great...thanks for the heads up." Sango said.

"Whatever...I'm going to bed." Kagome said as she walked away. After she got changed and after she had already climbed into bed their was a knock on the door. She let out a frustrated sigh and said, "Come in." without even thinking.

Inuyasha was amazed at how fast she had said that. 'She probably doesn't know it's me.' he thought. He was proven right when he saw the look of shock and anger cross her face as he walked in. Inuyasha closed the door and walked as close as he could to her with out being shocked by her miko energy. Once he reached his limit he turned to her and said, "Kagome I really am sorry and I really want you to forgive me."

"Inuyasha...its ok I'm not that mad any more. I'm just tried and want to go to be." Kagome said as she tried to stay awake.

"Are you sure? I really want to make it up to you." he asked.

"Yes, now please just let me go to sleep." she answered as she got under her covers.

"Night Kagome." he whispered.

Inuyasha walked out and went to his own dorm to sleep. He couldn't believe how she had forgiven him so easily but he was glad. 'Do...am I falling for her?' were his last thoughts before he too fell asleep.
