Chapter 8: Jealousy

"InuYasha? InuYasha!" Kagome exclaimed at the young half-demon who was sitting against his locker while continuously playing his new game boy that he got at a yard sale.

"What do you want, Kagome?" he asked, not even turning his head toward the girl.

"School is gonna start soon."

"Get off my back, I'll go to class when I'm ready to go to class."

Kagome glared. "But you don't wanna be late!"

The half-demon growled in frustration as he realized he lost a life on his game. "You happy now!"

The girl gasped, watching the boy stand up and putting his game boy away. What's with him? "InuYasha..."

"What?"

"I"m sorry...I didn't mean to..."

"It doesn't matter. This game is old and boring anyways."

Kagome sadly stared at the boy who didn't even dare to look back at her. "InuYasha...."

"What is it?"

Kagome's rage grew. "Why won't you look at me!"

"Leave me alone, Kagome! I'm going to class." And he walked off.

Kagome curiously watched the boy go. It's been almost three weeks since we've met....and he still won't look at me in the eye....what did I do? Does he hate me? No, if he hated me, he wouldn't be hanging around with me all the time.

Senior class, first period

As the teacher took attendance, Kikyo sat silently at her desk while her mind wandered with thoughts. This is my final year here at The Academy. At first I thought it was my destiny to graduate and go out to be a very wise, strong priestess and to help others. But then...

Kikyo could picture the lonely half demon, InuYasha sitting on top of a hill looking sad. Things about him have touched her heart. She really did fall in love with, but something happened. Kikyo could still remember the day she and her beloved man broke up.

Flash Back:

Before 5th period had started, the priestess searched for InuYasha all over when she had finally found him standing at the drinking fountain. She smiled brightly and walked over to him.

"InuYasha, how's your day so far?"

The half demon turned around with a smirk on his face that made the priestess wonder. "Hey Kikyo, my morning is going great, and it's gonna get better once I tell you the truth."

Kikyo stood there with a confused expression. She knew InuYasha did smirk about things, but this was a little off.

"I never did love you."

Kikyo's heart sank.

"I just wanted to get a good grade. And thanks to you, I'm finally gonna get through this reched place."

"Wha...?"

"See ya later Kikyo." And he was off.

The priestess stood there speechless, in shock of what just happened. This was not the InuYasha she remembered. Of course not, he was faking it the whole time. She tried to hold in her tears, but instead and she cried out three words that nobody liked to here. "I HATE YOU!"

End of Flash back

Kikyo closed her eyes, trying to ease the pain from such memories. What was weird, is that right before lunch that day InuYasha came back with an angry expression on his face. She remembered him yelling at her, accusing her of never loving her, and saying "I can't see you anymore, Kikyo."

She didn't understand why his character changed so much from one period to the next, but all Kikyo knew was that she and InuYasha had broken up, and it was over.

She sighed. I thought things would be different since I met him. I thought my destiny had change. But now....I just don't know what will happen now...

"Kikyo..."

The priestess turned to see one of the students staring at her with a smile. He had long black hair and red eyes.

She gave a warm smile. "Onigumi....how are you today?"

"Pretty well, Kikyo. Are you still...going to tutor me after school today?"

"Of course. I would never cancel that."

The man gave another smile. "That's great Kikyo. I can't wait." And he turned around.

Kikyo had been tutoring Onigumo for a couple of years now. He was a senior, but he had been a senior for about three years because he wasn't the type to try on his work. The priestess never did tell InuYasha about him because by his character, she knew that the half-demon would get jealous too easily, so she decided to keep it a secret. She knew now that it didn't matter. InuYasha didn't come to her for tutoring anymore and they never spoke to each other since the break up.

Kikyo still couldn't believe what had happened. She really thought that InuYasha was in love with him, but she had fallen for a horrible trick. Kikyo tried to resist to put her head down in her arms. If the teacher wouldn't be there, she would do so.

Soon, the door opened. "Sorry I'm late," a student said as he entered the room.

"Miroku," the teacher started, not a happy tone in his voice. "This is the 5th time this year that you have been late for class."

"I know, and I apologize," the man put his hands up together, trying to show some respect."

"Maybe if you would stop having chats with all the pretty girls in school this wouldn't be happening."

Most of the students in the room bursted out laughing, and even Miroku laughed a bit, but it was a nervous laugh. And with that, he was in his seat.

Miroku had dark blue eyes, black hair only long enough to be put up in a really short pointy tail at the nip of his neck, and he wore dark purple robes. "Please don't take it like that," Miroku said to the teacher, "I felt a presence of a dark cloud in the building. I had to get rid of it."

"That's what you always say," said the teacher.

"Hey Miroku," one of the students said, "how would you like to hang out with my friends and I after school?"

"Well...I can't," he replied.

"Because you're a loser who only hangs out with himself!"

"Enough!" the teacher exclaimed. "Lets get down to business!"

Miroku sighed, not letting the student get to him. The truth was is that he hardly ever hung out with anybody. He didn't really have any friends, and it didn't bother him too much He felt there were plenty of other things that were important he needed to take care of.

After first period when Miroku headed for the door, he ran into somebody.

"Oh, my bad Miroku."

The blue eyed student looked into the eyes of Onigumo staring straight at him. He had an evil smirk on his face that bothered him.

"I didn't mean to cause you any harm," Onigumo said.

Miroku tried to stay calm as he nervously walked pass the guy, who gave a small chuckle.

Freshman class, 2nd period

Kagome casually walked in to her classroom when she found her unusual friend sitting in his desk quietly. She took a deep breath and sat down in the desk next to him. "InuYasha?"

The boy turned his head toward the girl.

"Umm...InuYasha I'm really sorry....about this morning. I didn't mean to make you lose...your life...I mean....the level on your game."

InuYasha sighed heavily. "I already told...that game is old and boring anyways."

"Oh...well...Soto has something called a Nintendo DS...and he thinks it's really fun. You two seemed to have a lot in common, and..."

"I use to have a DS, but it broke, so I had to use whatever money I barely had to buy a game boy...at a yard sale."

"Oh." Kagome didn't want to be nosy, but she was curious. "How did it break?"

The half-demon clenched his teeth. "SOMEBODY broke it."

"Oh...your brother I'm guessing."

"No. It doesn't matter, though. Forget it."

Kagome smiled. "Would you like to come over to my house? You can play video games with Sota if you want."

InuYasha curiously looked at the girl. "You'll just invite anybody into your house, won't you."

She laughed. "Not everybody. If I don't know the person, no...unless they need it. And I'll have my friends over. You're my friend, InuYasha."

His eyes went wide. He remembered when Kikyo first wanted to become friends with him. Why was it that a girl that looked so much like her had to say the same thing? He couldn't get Kikyo out of her mind. He was so sad, yet so angry at the same time. How could she do this to me?

InuYasha started to remember that day. The weekend before that day he and Kikyo had a fight. They mad up of course, but right before 5th period start, that's when things went wrong.

Flash Back:

InuYasha gathered his things out of his messy locker. He forced himself to pick a few papers that fell out as he growled.

"You are REALLY un organized you stupid half-breed."

InuYasha gasped as his heart started pounding. That voice sounded a lot like Kikyo's. He turned to see the priestess glaring at him. It was Kikyo. "Kikyo? What? What did you just say?" He knew that Kikyo knew he was unorganized, but she would never call him a half-breed. She never even called him that until now.

"You're really too un organized." She was still glaring.

"Kikyo....did you just call me...?"

"A half-breed? Yes, that's what you are. And a UN ORGANIZED half-breed is not for me."

"What?" InuYasha glared as he clenched his teeth and fists. He eventually started growling after the priestess just walked away. 'What? Kikyo....'

End of Flashback

InuYasha's heart was still hurting from those horrible words that Kikyo had said to him.

"InuYasha? InuYasha!"

The boy looked at curious Kagome.

"Are you ok?"

He sighed. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'll come over since I have nothing better to do."

"Alright."

After fourth period, which was Kagome's gym class, the 15 year old girl just came out of the girl's locker room.

Miroku, who getting a drink suddenly caught his eye on the girl. Woe...what a beautiful girl... He couldn't resist as he forced himself to walk toward Kagome but stopped once he saw another person come up to her.

"Hey InuYasha," said Kagome.

"Hey, what class did you come out of," the half-demon asked.

"Gym. I thought you would know after a while." She rolled her eyes.

"What did you bring for lunch?"

Miroku felt a little down. She's...already with another man? That's....too bad. Oh well...it's my fault for not meeting her earlier. And with that, he walked off.

"I'll share with you if you quit being so greedy at lunch," said Kagome. "Now let me go, I'm gonna be late for class." The girl started running down the hall way and quickly made a turn when she suddenly bumped into somebody and fell to the ground.

Miroku was shocked and looked down at the girl who had bumped into her. Her books and papers were everywhere and there was no way he would just walk away when she needed help. He leaned down to help the girl who was already picking her stuff up. "I'm terribly sorry," he said.

"It's ok...I'm clumsy." Soon enough, Kagome had all her stuff in her arms and smiled. "Thanks for helping."

"Don't worry about it. All monks are willing to help out. You have a nice day, Kagome."

"Huh? How did...you know my name?"

"I saw you just moments ago. You and...InuYasha is it? He spoke of your name."

"Oh. Yeah....we're friends."

"Friends huh? Is that it?"

"Yeah...why?"

"Oh, no reason."

"You said....you were a monk?"

"Yeah. I've been a monk for a while now."

"Hey...I think you're in my gym class."

"Probably."

"What's your name?" Kagome was always excited to meet new people that she totally forgot about being late for class.

"Miroku. You better get to class, Lady Kagome."

She smiled. "When is your lunch period?"

"Next. Why?"

"That's mine! You should eat lunch with InuYasha and I!"

"I...better not."

"Huh? How come? Are you shy?" Aww...

"No...it's just...I usually don't sit with people at lunch."

"Well...you can this time. I'll see ya ok!" She ran off.

"Ok..." Wow...that was easy enough...at least she's only friends with the guy, but...it's not really my intention to hang out with others. He sighed, trying to figure out what to do.

When lunch finally came, InuYasha grew anxious when he and Kagome sat down. "So...start heating up the ramen!"

"Hey! I told you not to be so greedy!"

He growled impatiently and noticed that Kagome was suddenly looking around. "What are you doing?"

"Oh. I'm looking for somebody."

"Huh? Who?"

"Oh...I forgot to you. Miroku...I ran into him last period and he was really nice that I thought he could sit with us."

"Miroku?" He seemed annoyed.

"There he is!" She pointed at the guy who was walking into the cafeteria. "Miroku! Hey Miroku!"

The monk curiously looked at her and was a bit nervous, not sure of what to do. But looking at Kagome's pretty face told him to come sit with her. So he walked over. "Hey Kagome."

"Miroku, this is InuYasha!"

"Oh. Nice to meet you." He held out his hand for a shake, but InuYasha did nothing except glare at the man.

"Ok..."

"Sit down, Miroku!" Kagome happily exclaimed, ignoring InuYasha's rude expression.

The monk hesitated, but he sat down and smiled at the girl. "It's nice to see that you're as happy as ever."

Kagome smiled some more as she got her stuff out of her lunch bag.

InuYasha kept quiet as he glared at Miroku. He was really confused that Kagome just suddenly invited a stranger to their table and it was really getting him irritated. "Kagome..."

"Yeah?" she asked, suddenly realizing his anger. "Hey, what's wrong? You seem upset?"

"I'm hungry. What about the ramen?"

She rolled her eyes. "Why can't you buy your own lunch. You always do."

"Not this time, I forgot my money. And besides, I love ramen so there's no use in not asking you to share."

She sighed.

"I can lend you some money," said Miroku, "if you're willing to pay me back."

InuYasha glared at him. "I don't NEED any money from you." The boy could tell that Miroku had a lustful look on his face whenever he looked at Kagome, and for some reason the half-demon didn't like.

"InuYasha!" Kagome angrily exclaimed. "What's with you!"

"I'm hungry! On with the ramen!"

"I just realized...I don't have enough ramen for the two of us."

"What?!"

Kagome's eyes were closed, not happy with the boy's adittude. "That's right."

InuYasha was stunned by this and growled.

"I have money right here," Miroku said.

The half-demon rested his head in his arms. "I won't eat."

The monk shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Kagome.

InuYasha grew very angry and annoyed as he continued to watch the two have a friendly chat. This was not as his day.

When lunch was over InuYasha followed Miroku and Kagome who walked up to her locker. The half demon just stood behind them and looked the other way annoyed.

"You SHOULD eat lunch with us from now on," said Kagome.

"Not a good idea." InuYasha is too jealous even if they aren't a couple. He's obviously in love with her.

"Oh come on, why can't you—" Kagome interrupted herself with a scream as she felt a hand grope her bottom.

InuYasha gasped and quickly pulled Kagome away from Miroku. "What happened?!"

"He just touched me! Not somewhere nice!"

The boy glared and growled at Miroku with a fist in the air. "What's your problem!"

"I'm sorry," the monk replied calmly with his hands up in front of him."I couldn't help myself. She's so beautiful, and----"

"You don't touch Kagome! I thought you were just some man who had horrible things in his mind. But I guess it's all talk and all action for you!"

"Alright stop!" Kagome exclaimed, standing in between the guys. "Look, Miroku did...something unexpected...and InuYasha...you're just...being a bit..."

"Lady Kagome," Miroku spoke, "I really am sorry. The truth is, I got a lot of genes from my grandfather...it's not my fault. But...I'll never touch you again...honestly. I won't even talk to you again. It's best for all of us."

Kagome was shocked as she watched the monk walk away. "Miroku, wait!" She ran after him, really annoyed InuYasha was. "Miroku..."

The guy stopped and curiously looked at her. "What is it, Lady Kagome?"

"I...I'm sorry...InuYasha is just..."

"It's alright, it's not really any of my business, is it InuYasha?" He gave the half-demon a hintful look and looked back at Kagome.It isn't really my problem that you are hanging around a demon. He's...obviously not going to hurt you."

"Oh Miroku...don't be afraid of InuYasha. He won't hurt you."

InuYasha was thinking other wise.

"Oh, I'm not afraid of him." He gave an annoyed glare. "I'm just not the type to....have friends."

"Why?" Kagome asked. "Do...you have a bad reputation?"

He gave an innocent smile. "Yes, but only because I choose to not hang out with people. It's just who I am. I never really had friends in the past, and I'm quite too busy to hang out with others."

"Don't say that, there's always time. If you're so busy after school, you can just talk with us during school. And there's always time you can plan to hang out."

"Yeah, but....it may be better if I didn't hang out with you."

"Oh come on." She started to pout.

Miroku stared at her, trying to resist. But again, her pretty face made him give in. He sighed and smile. "How can I say no to a pretty face like that."

She started to giggle loudly as InuYasha walked up to them. "InuYasha and I can be your friend!"

"I...guess I can be your friend...if InuYasha wouldn't mind."

Kagome looked at InuYasha, who was still glaring.

The half-demon, though, closed his eyes and finally spoke. "I don't like the idea, but I guess it wouldn't hurt. As long as you keep your hands to yourself and mind your own business."

"Of course," said Miroku.

So it was settled, both Kagome and InuYasha became friends with the lecherous, yet kind monk. After school, the three of them walked home together.

"See ya tomorrow, Miroku!" Kagome waved as she watched her new friend wave back and enter his house.

"Life really is...exciting and full of questions."

"It's full of questions, I'll give you that," said InuYasha, stating that there was no answer why there were men like Miroku.

Alright! Wow, that was along chapter! Hehe. I hope you liked it. Please review and give me suggestions!
