Chapter Four- Phenomenon
It was better today compared to how it had been all week. It wasn't raining yet, though the clouds were dense and opaque. School just became like a routine for me. Everyone morning I would hang out with everyone until the bell, then I would head off to English with Houjo. He would always go on and on about something so most of the time I just drowned him out by reading my book and listening to my I-pod. Then aferwards I would head off to History. During lunch, almost like an instinct I would look over at the 'Blades' table expecting to see him there, but once again he wasn't. I sat at a table with a big group that consitied of Houjo, Hachi, Ayumi, Hana, and a bunch of other people I could only recognize by face. They were use to me reading quietly to myself but they did always try to include me in the conversation. Which surprised me a great deal. At my old home no one out of my circle of friends put that much effort into making sure I felt welcome. To be honest I was actually grateful for it. Anyways, it just felt so natrual now. I still wanted to confront Inuyasha about his cruel behaviour, but how are you suppose to confront someone who didn't show up at school? It was strange but some part of me was actually concerned about him, even after his strange behavior. I had this strange feeling that Inuyasha wasn't at school because of me. I wasn't liking gym so much, since like I've mentioned a thousand times, I suck at sports. It didn't help that we were still playing volley ball. I cringed away from the ball everytime it came my way. After playing soccer with Souta I knew how to dodge the ball without getting hurt. "Look out!" someone screamed. I noticed that someone had hit the ball so hard that it would hurt whoever it hit, badly. It was coming right at me. 'What are the odds?' I thought distantly.
"Kagome!" Hachi screamed. Right when the ball got too close for comfort I back flipped out of the way. I didn't even have to think about it, it was just pure instinct. The ball hit where I was just standing. I noticed everyone was staring at me in astonishment. I blushed like crazy. 'Nice one Kagome!' I screamed in my head. For some strange reason I felt as if someone else was watching me, someone I couldn't see. Hachi ran over to me. "That was so cool." he announced happily. I looked down at the floor, complete embarrassed.
"It was nothing." I answered quickly. When fourth period finally came around I was so sure he was going to appear out of nowhere and begin glaring at me again, but when I got there he was nowhere to be seen, again. I was happy but I had this nagging feeling I was the reason he wasn't here. But that didn't make sense what so ever. What reason would he have to not come to school because of me? When the bell rang I gathered my books and quickly headed for the door. Though I enjoyed Houjo's company he was just starting to get a little too close for comfort. I was happy when I was able to evade him for now. I walked swiftly out into the parking lot that was crowd with fleeing students. Right when I reached my car it began to rain again. Quickly I got in and turned on the heater. Once again I got the feeling I was being watched but I didn't get why. 'What the hell?' I thought glancing around.
"Quit being paranoid." I said to myself as I started up the car. I blinked a couple of times. "And quit talking to yourself." I then noticed the 'Blades' getting into their cars. They all had new, shiny cars, that made mine look like it was trash. I also noticed how nice their clothing was. It was much better than anything I wore. With their amazing good looks, and the way they presented themselves it was hard to believe that they were very popular. No, I didn't believe that at all. Their isolation was obviously their chose. I couldn't imagine any door that wouldn't open to that beauty. Suddenly Sango glared at me and I quickly averted my gaze to the steering wheel of my car. I saw her roll her eyes before getting into her car with Miroku, Kohaku, and Souten. "Someone's a little touchy." with that said I pulled out of the parking lot and made my way home. Not really paying attention to the road, my mind kept drifting back to Inuyasha's hard glare. 'Why does he hate me so much?' I thought. I also remembered that I had to make dinner tonight. Dad wasn't the best cook and Cohin could hardly tell what was good and what was bad. So I assigned myself kitchen duty, which was fine by me. Back when I live with my mom and Shana I cooked all the time. Neither of us trusted mom in the kitchen. I knew Shana was a good cook but I just enjoyed doing it so much he gave the job to me. I smiled at the memory. 'I miss home.' I thought distanly.
Little did I know that in a matter of a couple of days, I would never want to leave this place again.
At Home
I parked the car in front of the house, instead of in the driveway since there were two more cars that had to park here and I cut the engine. I made sure I had everything before I headed for the door. After struggling with the lock I finally got inside. I hung up my coat and put my long hair into a ponytail I went straight to the kitchen. Wrapping potatoes in foil I stuck them in the oven to bake. I would come and check on them in a hour or so. Heading upstairs with my bag I froze when the phone rang. Hesitantly I picked it up. "Hello. Higurashi residence." I answered a little awkwardly.
"Hi, is Kagome there?" a male voice asked. I blinked in confusion. Who would call to talk to me?
"This is Kagome." I replied. I heard a laugh from the other end.
"Hey Kagome. It's me, Kouga!" he said happily. I smiled.
"Oh. Hey Kouga. I'm sorry I didn't recognize your voice." I answered.
"Aww. Don't worry about it. I did the same thing." he stated. My smile widened. "So how have you been?" he asked. I thought for a moment. There was no way I was going to tell him about Inuyasha's cruel behavior towards me, because knowing how protective Kouga was of me, he'd probably hunt Inuyasha down and rip him to shreds. "Kagome? Are you still there?" Kouga asked. I blinked.
"Sorry." I said quickly to make sure he knew I was listening. "I'm fine. School's kinda dull. But hey, it's school. What do you expect?" I asked with humor. Kouga laughed at my small joke. "What about you?"
"I'm great. Still working on my car and everything. So nothing new." he replied. Kouga had a car? I thought distantly. "Anyways Kagome. I hate to leave it at that but, I've got homework to do. So I'll talk to you soon."
"Right. Bye." I answered.
"Bye." with that he hung up. I went upstairs to my room. After finishing my homework I quickly went to check on dinner then I went back to my room. I heard Souta and Cohin come in. Souta went straight to his room to play video games while Cohin started his homework. Dinner was ready right when my dad walked through the door.
"Hey kids." he said happily. He then picked up the smell of dinner. "Something smells good." We all sat at the table. They all took a piece of steak while I ate salad. Dad stared at me in confusion. "Kags?" he asked. I looked up at him.
"Yes." I replied. 'I hate it when they call me that.'
"Why aren't you eating any steak?" he questioned. I rolled my eyes.
"Dad, I've been a vegetarian for seven years now. I thought mom told you that in her letter?" I explained. I saw dad look away while Cohin laughed.
"Yeah right. Dad didn't read anything passed the whole 'Kagome's coming to live with you' before going around and telling everyone." Cohin explained.
"Cohin!" dad said through clenched teeth. I laughed. Swallowing past the lump in my throat I glanced up.
"Hey?" I said suddenly, causing all attention to be on me again. "Do you guys know anything about the 'Blades'?" I asked. Cohin rolled his eyes, while Souta blinked in confusion. A warm smile spread across my dad's face.
"They're such a good family. Dr Takahashi is an amazing doctor, and he's so young. It's hard to believe he has two teenage sons and all those foster kids. I was a bit concerned about them at first, especially because of them calling themselves the 'Blades'. But they're all well behaved kids, very polite and easy to talk to......why did you want to know?" he explained/asked. I looked down.
"No reason. I just have seen them around school, and wanted to know a little more about them." I answered. 'Could Inuyasha really be as nice as dad said he is? Or does he just faking it?......Or does he really hate me?' I thought miserably. After dinner I returned to my room and checked my emails. I had three from my mother. I quickly replied and went to bed. I was in a fitful sleeping, Inuyasha's haunting glare still lingering in my mind.
The Next Day
People greeted me as I pulled into the parking lot. I didn't recognize them but I said hello anyways. Right when I stepped out my car I stepped right into another puddle. "Dammit!" I cursed. 'What else could possibly go wrong?' I thought. 'Crap! I hope I didn't just jinx that.' Just then someone, no wait the same person as last time, laughed at me. A blush appeared on my face. Keeping my head down, I went off to English class, meeting Houjo half way there. It was a lot colder today, which is most likely because it was nearing winter, but I didn't really seem to notice. I was too lost in my book. Houjo kept rambling on about how cool he thought my backflip was. Hachi must have told him. 'Has he really been talking about that all this time?' I thought. I shuddered. Being the center of attention wasn't my thing, no matter how much I got it here. 'What the hell is so interesting about me? I'm so average...no I'm below average.' I thought with a frown. All in all, I was feeling a lot more comfortable here. I had some great friends. I got to spend time with my brothers and dad again, and school was a lot easier than I thought it would be. The only thing I didn't like was the way Inuyasha had treated me. 'Inuyasha.....' I thought while gazing out the window. 'I wonder where he is.........and if it is really my fault he's not here?' When Houjo and I walked towrads our second period classes I noticed there were white bits floating down from the sky. I groaned. 'It's to early for snow.' I thought with a whiny tone. I mean come on? Who likes the winter? I most definately don't, it's to cold and wet for me. Even worse than the rain.
"It's snowing!" Houjo proclaimed happily. 'Well duh!' I thought. "I love snow."
"I don't. It's to cold and wet. Not my thing." I replied. Houjo laughed. Snowballs began to whip around and Houjo was pegged in the head with one. We both had our suspicions about Hachi who was walking in the opposite direction of his class. Houjo made a quick snowball and started after Hachi. "I'll see you later." I called after him. Houjo nodded and went to go join the fight. I quickly went to my History class. Not wanting to be part of this. At lunch I got to the cafeteria without being hit once, which I was grateful about. When Houjo joined me he was dripping wet, but laughing happily. I smiled. 'At least he's happy.'
"That was awesome." he said like one of those stupid skater punks you see on TV. When I looked around the room I froze. My gaze was on the 'Blades' table. There was one more person there today. 'Look who finally decided to come back?' my mind chimed. I looked at the floor finding it very interesting.
"Hey Kagome, are you alright?" Ayumi asked me when she suddenly appeared at my side.
"Yeah. I'm just not hungry." I said before paying for a soda and going to our usual table. I sat down and opened my book, reading from where I last left off. But I couldn't focus on the words. My stomach turned queasy and both Hachi and Hana asked if I was okay.
"It's nothing. Don't worry about it." I said with a happy smile. They seemed to buy it for now. I thought maybe I should just go along with being sick and hide in the nurse's office. I shook my head. "I'm not going to hide." I mumbled under my breath.
"What?" I realized everyone at the table was staring at me. I blushed like crazy.
"Nothing!" I said a little to loud. Some of the people at the other tables glanced over at me. I just lowered my head again. Looking throw a curtain of hair I noticed that each of the Blades were dripping wet with snow just like most of the other students were. I smiled lightly to myself. Inuyasha though, appeared different to me but I didn't get how. Also he wasn't glaring at me like he had done the last time. He was having a pleasant talk with Mitsuki about something. My smile widened a bit. 'Maybe he's not as bad as I originally thought.' Ayumi noticed I wasn't paying attention.
"Kagome, what are you looking at?" she asked trying to follow my gaze. At that exact moment Inuyasha looked over at me, like he had heard what Ayumi had said or something. I quickly looked away, hiding my face behind my hair. Though Inuyasha's eyes didn't hold the hatred they did the last time, they didn't hold any interest either. Glancing through my curtain of hair I noticed that Miroku had leaned in to say something to Inuyasha, but I couldn't tell what he it was. Whatever he said seemed to upset Inuyasha. That's when I noticed for the first time that most of the members of the Blades wore hats of bandannas. 'That's strange. I thought we weren't allowed that kind of stuff in school.' Now my curiosity was getting the best of me.
"Inuyasha's staring at you, Kagome." Hana whispered. I blushed, lowering my head even more.
"He doesn't look mad does he?" I asked. Hana looked at me confused.
"No....why?" she asked in return.
"I don't think he likes me." I replied truthfully. She shrugged.
"The Blades don't like anyone....or they never take the time to get to know someone." she answered. She glanced over again then turned her attention back on me. "He's still staring at you." With a deep blush I stood. I quickly gathered my things and rushed out of the room. 'Dammit!' I screamed inside my own head. I didn't get what was wrong with me. I've never acted like this over a boy before.....but Inuyasha wasn't a boy he was a god. That's when I noticed it was raining again. Washing all signs of the snow. I inwardly smirked as I put my hood up and rushed off to class.
Biology
I entered the room, half expecting to see Inuyasha sitting at our table, but it was empty. Quickly I took my seat and watched as the teacher handed out slides. I then began to doodle in my notebook again, not wanting to gaze at the door. Suddenly the chair next to me moved. "Hello." he said in a velvet voice. I froze and looked at him stunned. 'Did he just talk to me?' I thought in utter shock. His hair was dripping wet from the rain, but he still looked amazing. He had a friendly smile on his face and he looked a lot calmer than the last time I saw him, but he had caution in his eyes. I swallowed past the lump in my throat.
"Hello." I replied. His smiled widened slightly.
"I didn't have a chance to introduce myself last week I'm..." he started.
"Inuyasha Takahashi." I finished for him. Looking back down at my notebook, I began to doodle again. For awhile he didn't say anything.
"Right. I guess you knew that. Anyways, you're Kagome Higurashi." he sated. When he said my name I felt my heart leap. I looked at him again.
"How did you know my name?" I asked, sounding like a total idiot. He looked at me confused.
"I think everyone knows your name. I mean half the town has been waiting for you to arrive since your father mentioned you were coming." I inwardly frowned. I should have guessed that part. "And you are the only daughter of chief Higurashi right?"
"Yeah. I have two brothers, than there's me. The only girl. Even though everyone says I act like a boy. And I rambling....I'm just going to shut up now." I said quickly before turning away. 'What the hell was that! I sounded like an idiot.' I screamed at myself. I noticed from the corner of my eye that though he sat as far from me as possible, he wasn't tense like the last time. I heard him chuckle.
"You're funny." he stated. I blushed at his comment. No one had ever thought I was funny before. I tied to concentrate on the lesson as our teacher explained that our slides were out of order and we had to figure out which stage of mitosis it was. I groaned, I had already done this lesson before. Inuyasha pushed the microscope towards me. "Ladies first." he said politely. He crocked smile was so beautiful I could hardly believe it. I looked in the microscope.
"Prophase." I said confidently. Inuyasha reached for the microscope.
"Mind if I look?" he asked. I shrugged. When I pulled my arm back our hands touched. I pulled back quickly. It was strange, when we touched I felt something strange that I had never felt before. Like an electric shock or something. "Sorry." he mumbled before looking through the eyepiece. "Prophase." he answered, quickly writing it down. Then he switched the slides and glanced into it. "Anaphase." he answered.
"May I?" I asked as normal as possible. My voice as the slightest bit pitchy. He didn't seem to notice as he passed me the microscope again. I looked through. "Anaphase." Afterward we both just silently would look through after each other. We were finished way before anyone else so we just sat silently. It was very awkward. 'I hate uncomfortable silences.' I thought with a frown. The teacher went around checking people's answers. I began to doodle again while Inuyasha gazed out the window.
"Do you like the snow?" he asked suddenly. I jumped at the sound of his voice. After a few moments I re-composed myself.
"No, not really." I answered truthfully.
"Don't like the cold." it was more of a statement than a question.
"Or the wet." I added. He looked at me confused.
"Then why do you live here in Awara?" he asked. Inuyasha seemed to be truly curious in what I had to say to him and that astonished me. But his voice also sounded demanding.
"It's complicated." I answered.
"I think I can keep up." he returned. I sighed, he wasn't going to let this go.
"When I was five years old my parents got a divorce, and then my mom started dating a guy name Shana. They got married." I replied, playing with my sleeve.
"Doesn't sound so bad. When'd they get married?" he asked.
"Four years ago." I stated. Why the heck was he so interested with my life story? It was dull and boring. He'd probably be more interested talking to Hana or Ayumi, not me.
"Then why didn't you stay with them? If you could live with this Shana guy for four years, you must have liked him."
"I did like Shana. My reason for coming here has nothing to do with him."
"Then what was?" he asked. I looked over at him and saw that he truly did want to know why I was here. No one had asked me that befor.
"Well, it's always been my mom's dream to become a famous singer, so I didn't want to stand in the way of her dream anymore. So I came here so she a Shana could go around and try and get a contract started. I could tell I was making her unhappy, so I decided to come here." I replied. Inuyasha stared at me intently.
"But aren't you the one who's unhappy now?"
"So? I'd rather be unhappy, than let my mom be unhappy." Inuyasha stared at me like I had just said the strangest thing he had ever heard.
"You're not like other girls." he stated suddenly. I rolled my eyes.
"You have no idea."
"It doesn't seem fair to you." he pointed out.
"Hasn't anyone told you that life isn't fair?" I asked. I saw pain flash through Inuyasha's eyes for a split second.
"Don't have to tell me twice." he replied. Now the guilt bubbled up inside me again. I had made him upset somehow. But what did I do?
"So that's my story." I said, trying to change the topic.
"You're good at hiding what you truly feel Kagome but you're obviously suffering more than you let people see." he stated. I rolled my eyes but nodded silently. A frown appeared on his face. "I'm annoying you aren't I?"
"No. It's just now another person can read me like an open book." I said. Inuyasha smirked again.
"You're not so easy to read. I find you difficult to understand." he stated. Just then the bell rang and he was out of the room just as fast as last time. I collected my things and slowly walked outside into the light drizzle.
He was the first guy that had ever caught my interest before, and it was only going to get more interesting from here on out.
I got into my car and got ready to leave when I noticed Inuyasha was staring at me again. I blushed and went to pull out of the space I had parked in, almost hitting the car behind me. After I was sure there were no cars coming, I pulled out. I noticed that Inuyasha was laughing. My eyes widened when I recognized the laugh. 'He's the one who saw me step into the puddles. Crap, crap, crap!'
The Next Day
I awoke to find that there was snow and ice everywhere. Meaning it would be twice as hard to get to school. Going downstairs I found that everyone was gone. "Good morning." I mumbled. Slowly I got ready and left. When I reached the school in one piece I wondered how that happened. People were throwing snowballs everywhere, so I was scared to get out. Even the Blades were throwing snowballs. I was about to step out when a female voice reached my ears.
"Watch out for the ice." it was a whisper, like the person was right beside me, but it also held the velvet tone Inuyasha's voice had. Looking around I saw the only female standing close to me was Rin, who skipped away and linked arms with Shippo. That's when I saw all the Blades standing at their cars about ten cars away from mine. Some still throwing snowballs. I also noticed Inuyasha was watching me but in a heated argument with Sesshomaru.
"This is wrong Inuyasha. She's not one of us." he hissed. "Stay away from her." he order Inuyasha just continued to watch me while arguing.
"I won't let her catch on to anything! I'm not that stupid!" Inuyasha replied. Sesshomaru growled and glared at me. I quickly looked away and I stepped out of me car, holding onto it to make sure I didn't fall on the ice. Then I noticed the chains that crisscrossed over my tires to help me on the ice. 'They did that for me?' I thought, touched that my dad and Cohin had put these on my tires, thinking of my safety. So that's why they had gone outside last night. I suddenly heard a loud sreeching noise. Turning around I froze in fear though I could see everything clearly. Everyone except Sesshomaru and Sango had looks of horror on their faces, Inuyasha's standing out the most from the see of faces. More improtantly though there was a van skidding across the ice right towards me. Just before I heard the van hit the back of my car something hit me hard from another direction, knocking me to the ground, where I hit my head, hard, on the ice. I felt something pin me to the freezing ground. It was extremely warm for being out in these freezing temperatures. I blinked to clear my vision, though it didn't really help in the slightest way. I didn't have time to look around since the van was heading towards me again.
"Dammit." I heard a curse and knew I wasn't alone. But even though my head hurt from the screeching and hitting it on the ice, I knew who the voice belonged to. Suddenly two tanned colour hands shot out and put two dents in the van, stopping it. The hands moved so quickly they blurred. One lifted the van while the other pulled my body, moving my legs as if they belonged to a rag doll. The van was dropped and it landed exactly where my legs had been a second ago. I could hear people screaming my name, but above that I could hear Inuyasha's frantic voice. "Kagome, are you alright?" he asked in his velvet voice. I tried to respond but my vision began to black and I was slowly slipping away into unconsciousness. I knew it was probably from hitting my head so hard, but I think the shock had overwhelmed me. "Kagome!?" he asked a little louder. That was the last thing I heard before I completely blacked out.
This was the start of my adventure. From this point on my life would never be the same.
Well there you have it. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, cause I had a lot of fun typing it. and YEEAAAHHHH! My longest chapter ever, from any of my sotries, is my one of my favourite chapters in Twilight. Anyways, please review and let me know what you think. Until next time, byes^_^
