Chapter Four: Our Broken Connection P.O.V: NarratorThe next morning, Sango and Kagome woke up early once again, but his time, they talked for much longer.
"So, Kags, how did you first meet Inu Yasha and Kikyo?" Sango asked, curiously.
"I knew them from primary school…" Kagome started, causing Sango to raise an eyebrow. "They were already going out by year 2 and they teased me every day," Kagome added. The discussion went on for a while – they talked about Inu Yasha and Kikyo as a couple, Inu Yasha himself, Kikyo and her group, and of course, the Break-Up.
"It happened just before the Summer Holidays," Sango said, "Inu Yasha was having second thoughts on Kikyo because a) there was a rumour that she was having work done, b) there was another rumour that she was going out with some college guy called Naraku, and c) he didn't like her anymore, and vice versa." This confused Kagome.
"Then why was Kikyo so upset?" she queried.
"Because Inu Yasha is so damn rich, that's why!" Sango exclaimed.
"Oh," Kagome replied. 'Naraku? No…couldn't be…' she thought.
The rest of the day went by, similarly to yesterday's. They went from class to class. It wasn't until 3rd period's PE class that anything the least bit exciting had happened – Miroku had gotten into the girls' change-rooms again. They spent the rest of the lesson doing gymnastics. 'Good, I'm ok at that,' Kagome thought. She leaped up and somersaulted over the horse, landing after a round-off and tuck. Everyone stared wide-eyed at her. The teacher smiled. Kikyo glared at her and went for her jump. Kikyo, being a cheerleader, did great too. And that's how it started; a competition between Kikyo and Kagome. Needless to say, though the skill was great, it was getting boring. Finally, after a lot of spinning, twisting and tumbling, the bell rang and the students went to get changed.
The rest of the day passed by quickly, and being a Friday, the students could do what they wanted. Kagome and Sango went to Inu Yasha's (and Miroku's) dorm, and started a game of truth or dare with them, Kouga and Ayame joining shortly. Inu Yasha spun the bottle, and it landed on Miroku. Inu Yasha smirked, his eyes glistening.
"Remember that you have three chickens. Truth, Dare, Double Dare, Fire in the Barn or Promise to Repeat?" he asked. Miroku sat in puzzled thought for a moment or two before replying, "Promise to repeat". Inu Yasha grinned.
"Ok you ready?" he asked.
"Y-y-yeah" replied Miroku, knowing something bad was going to happen.
(A/N for the sake of it, Inu Yasha will be in bold and Miroku's in italics. Just so it's easier.)
'I, Miroku Houshi'
'I, Miroku Houshi'
'Promise that I'
'Promise that I'
'Will not touch'
'Will not touch'
'Any girl'
'That's not fair Yash!' Miroku cried in frustration.
'Shaddap and get on with it!' Inu Yasha commanded.
'Any girl' Miroku sighed.
'In un-respectable areas' 'In un-respectable areas''Especially not Sango Taijiya'
'Isn't that a bit over the top?' Miroku said hopefully, but was silenced by a glare from Inu Yasha.
'Especially not Sango Taijiya'(A/N end of bold/italics)
A cheer erupted from Sango and Kagome, Sango and Inu Yasha exchanged hi-fives.
Miroku sulked miserably, before eyeing the bottle and smiling wickedly. Spinning the bottle, Miroku closed his eyes in hope. It landed on Kagome. Miroku sighed, he had hoped for Inu Yasha.
"Truth, Dare, Double Dare, Fire in the Barn or Promise to Repeat?" he asked. Kagome thought for a moment.
'Truth' she replied, causing Miroku to think.
'How did you know Inu Yasha and Kikyo?' Miroku asked curiously. Kagome sighed, and Inu Yasha twitched.
'Well, we've totally haven't seen each other in ages, and I didn't want to either. The way we had…connected since there has just worn away. When I was in pre-school,' Kagome started, 'I met Inu Yasha. He was my first friend, and we were real tight. Until we hit fourth grade and he met Kikyo.'
Here, Kagome paused and looked at Inu Yasha, who looked confused and also a little guilty.
'So after that, he only talked to me sometimes, and when he did, it was about Kikyo. They started to go out in fifth grade, and I was pushed aside. Then, by the time my parents said we should move house, which was the end of sixth grade, Kikyo had told Inu Yasha how mean I was to her or some shxt, and he and Kikyo barred me all the time.' Kagome was on the verge of tears, and Inu Yasha felt so guilty that he couldn't face her.
'You didn't even say goodbye,' she whispered sadly to Inu Yasha. 'And then I saw my boyfriend Naraku making out with Kikyo,' she said, making them gasp. She got up and said sadly, 'I think I'm going to go to bed, G'night everyone'. Sango and Miroku mumbled a 'G'night' to her and Inu Yasha nodded. Kagome left them, and as soon as they were out of earshot, she burst into tears, running to her room. Sango and Miroku glared at Inu Yasha, who glared right back, as if he was saying it wasn't his fault. 'How could you?' Sango whispered icily, before running to her room to talk to Kagome. Miroku glared at Inu Yasha and went to sleep. Inu Yasha sat there, confused and ashamed. 'Did I really do that to her? We were so close…' he thought. Sighing, he brushed his teeth and went to bed, dreaming about him and Kagome when they were younger – a happy dream that made him miss the old times.
The next day, at breakfast, Kagome seemed to be avoiding Inu Yasha - and he, the same – averting each other's gazes and not talking to each other. Sango looked at them and motioned for Inu Yasha to talk to her outside, leaving Miroku to address Kagome. As soon as they were outside, Sango slapped Inu Yasha, leaving a red handprint on his cheek.
'What the hell, wench?' Inu Yasha barked angrily. Sango death-glared him.
'She cried herself to sleep, Inu Yasha, and you didn't even apologise to her when you saw her. And I can't believe you didn't say goodbye if you guys were ever tight,' Sango cried out exasperated. Inu Yasha scuffed his foot, suddenly fascinated by the ground. Sango made a strange grunt noise in frustration and left to go back to breakfast, leaving Inu Yasha to pick-up his thoughts.
It was hard for Inu Yasha to concentrate that day. Kikyo kept trying to talk to him, and Kagome kept averting his gaze. Inu Yasha sighed a lot that day. He felt so bad about making Kagome upset – he hated making girls cry, especially girls who were so…pure like Kagome. But he couldn't say anything to her if she kept avoiding him, and if Sango kept warding him off her. He kept thinking all day, and that night too, not really listening to the teachers or Miroku or doing any work. Even when he tried to sleep, all he could think about was their connection, their lost connection - the connection between him and Kagome. 'Our broken connection' he thought. And Kagome was thinking the same thing.
