But youll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
Its only what youre asking for
And youll be just fine
With all of your time
Its only what youre waiting for

Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who wont return

Chapter 4

He couldn't understand what was happening. He couldn't understand her. Hell, he couldn't understand himself. ' What the hell is going on? ' Inuyasha thought as he sat on a branch of the God Tree. He hadn't moved ever since he and Kagome had had that fatal argument. He couldn't forget the look of anger in her eyes. He couldn't forget those terrible tears that ran down her face. And the disgusting image of that boy kissing her was still fresh as ever in his mind. His heart wrenched at the thought of it. It felt that he was being betrayed all over again. But why should he care? Why should he bother?

" Could it be that I... "

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome woke up to the sound of her alarm clock. She banged her hand on it and sat up. For some reason she felt energized today and most of all...happy. She started to hum as she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. After that she dressed herself in a red v-neck t-shirt and black jeans with red converse. She went downstairs to find her brother playing video games as usual. " DIE EVIL MONKEYS DIE!!! " Souta yelled at the television.

Kagome purposely walked in front of the television to hear his whining and and screaming. She went in the kitchen to find her mother washing dishes. " Oh hi sweetheart! Had a good sleep? " Kagome's Mother said with a warm smile. " Yeah I actually did. " Kagome replied with a smile. " Oh! Before i forget i need you to watch Souta today because your grandfather and I need to go food shopping and you know how picky he can be at times. " Kagome's mother said as she contined to scrub some dishes.

Kagome groaned and said, " Mom I was going to go see someone today. Can't you take him? ". Kagome's mother gave her a reproving look. " Kagome you barely spend time with him as it is. Please do this for me. " Kagome's mother said sternly. " Ok ok I'll do it. " Kagome said in a defeated tone. This was going to be fun.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Where we going? I'm tired can we stop? Kagome I'm bored! " Souta said in a whiny tone. Kagome turned around and said, " If you utter just one more sentence I am going to push you in front of a moving car and tell Mom that it was an accident! " Souta gulped and said no more.

Kagome walked into the " Morning Star " coffee shop with Souta not to far behind. A familiar face looked up from the register and smiled. Kagome smiled and waved in return. Souta had watched the exchange and smirked.

Zach walked over and gave Kagome a hug. " I didn't know you were coming today. " Zach said. " I just wanted to suprise you. Are you surprised? " Kagome said with a sly smile. " Very surprised. " Zach replied. " Ahum! " Souta said, breaking the moment. Kagome rolled her eyes and said, " And this annoying thing is my brother Souta. "

" Nice to meet you Souta, I'm Zach. " Zach said as he held out his hand for Souta to shake. Souta looked at him and his eyes widened. " HOLY CRAP YOU LOOK LIKE INUYASHA! " Souta yelled. Everyone in the coffee shop looked in their direction. " Hey none of your bees wax people get back to drinking your coffee! " Kagome yelled. And they did just that...rather quickly.

" Souta he's not Inuyasha, he's Zach. " Kagome explained. Souta looked at Zach again.

" Yeah you're right. He doesn't look like the rugged guy that I know. " Souta said in a matter of fact tone. " Sorry about that Zach. " Souta said. Zach shook his head and said, " Don't mention it, I get that alot now a days. "

" Hey Zach when your done working want to go to the carnival with me and Souta? " Kagome asked. Zach nodded and said, " Sure, I get off in twenty minutes take a seat and I'll be right with you. " Kagome smiled and so did he. And Souta just watched the exchange and smirked once again.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Man why can't I get that stupid bottle!?! " Souta said in a aggravated tone. He grabbed another ball an throwed it at the single bottle that was in his way to win a prize. The ball skimmed the bottle but it wasn't enough to make it fall over. " Here let me try. " Zach said as he grabbed a ball. Souta got out of the way and then Zach threw the ball. The ball had hit its target. " We have a winner! Tell me kid what toy would you like? " The stand owner said. " The white dog please. " Souta said. The stand owner took down the toy and gave it to Souta, " Wow thanks Zach! " Souta as he gave Zach a big hug.

" No problem Souta it was my pleasure. " Zach said as he returned the hug. " Hey lets go on the roller coaster. " Zach said pointing at the ridiculously huge and steep roller coaster. Kagome gulped, " Umm can I sit this one out? " she said looking rather uneasy. " Oh come on sis are you a chicken? " Souta said in a teasing tone. " No of course not! " Kagome said in a defensive tone. " Ok then lets go before the line gets too long. " Zach said as he took her hand in his. Kagome had noticed this but made no move to take her hand away.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" That rollercoaster is evil! " Kagome said as she grabbed her stomach. " I'm sorry Kagome I didn't expect you to throw up. " Zach said in a apologetic tone. " Gee sis your such a baby. " Souta said with a roll of his eyes. " I'm not a baby. I'm only a baby when it comes to roller coasters." Kagome said in a defensive tone.

The group had come to a halt in front of the shrine house. Souta looked at the two and said, " Well I'm going to go inside now. It was nice to meet you Zach. " Zach smiled and said, " Nice to meet you too Souta. " Souta then went inside and shut the door.

The silence between the two was a comfortable silence. It wasn't long til Zach broke it.

" Your brother is really cool. " Zach said. " When he's not moody he can be cool. " Kagome said in agreement. " Well, I guys I'd better go. Good night Kagome. " Zach said as he gave her a quick hug. Kagome watched his retreating back. Something inside her made her call his name and run after him. He turned and looked at her with a soft gaze.

" You didn't give me a kiss goodnight, that is really rude. " Kagome said. " Are you sure that's what you want? " Zach said. Kagome had thought about it for a second. " Yes I'm sure. " Kagome said. Zach leaned in and so did Kagome. It was a pure and passionate kiss. After a minute the two broke for air. " Now that's a good night kiss. " Kagome said with wide eyes. " Amen to that. " Zach said. " Well I'll see you tomorrow? " Kagome said.

" You can count on it. " Zach said with a smile. He gave Kagome a kiss on the cheek and went on his way.

Little did they know that they had a witness of their goodbye.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome hummed as she walked into her room. She spun around and giggled. She was happy, very happy. She replayed the kiss over and over in her mind. She was so happy she didn't realize the unwanted guest who was sitting on her bed with his arms crossed over his chest. Kagome stopped dreaming and came back into reality. She stopped spinning and looked at Inuyasha. It took a while to realize that he was real and in the flesh.

" Inuysha what are you doing here? " Kagome asked. Inuyasha shrugged and said, " Do I need a reason? " Kagome put her hands on her hips and said, " Yes, as a matter of fact you do. " Inuyasha got up and walked toward Kagome. " Who says I need to answer to you? " Inuyasha said in a angry tone. " What is the matter with you? " Kagome asked.
" You. " Inuyasha said. " Me? " Kagome said. " Yes, you're my problem Kagome. You make me sad, you make me angry, you make me want to tear my hair out, and most of all you made me fall in love with you. " Inuyasha said with tenderness in his eyes. Kagome just stood there. Was she dreaming? Was she going to wake up? Did he say that he loved her?

" I already know that you don't love me, you love that Zach guy. I don't blame you, I've treated you like shit all this time. And I never saw what I had in front of me all this time. " Inuyasha said. Before Kagome could say anything Inuyasha gave her sweet kiss on the lips. " Goodbye Kagome. " Inuyasha said as he walked over to the window and jumped out.

Kagome did nothing but walk over to her bed, fall onto it, and cry.
