Chapter 5: Determination, Photos, and That Fateful Crash
"Oh My God!" exclaimed a girl who was tall, slender, wearing boy shorts and a cami tank-top, her outfit showed off her athletic body and she was bouncing on the couch in her dorm
"Shut up Sango!" ordered a girl whose curvaceous body was hiding behind a towel at the moment and she had a towel wrapped around her mid-night colored hair
"You held hands with INUYASHA TAISHO! Kagome you'll never live this down!"
Kagome pushed Sango and Sango fell to the floor but kept on laughing
"Stop it Sango! I didn't even know it was him! Okay!" argued a red-faced Kagome
Sango looked up to her best friend and giggled, "Look! You're all red!"
"I'm red from anger and…and…" Kagome turned her back to Sango, not wanting her to read her eyes
Sango raised puzzled eyes up to her friend's back and then realization hit her and her eyes widened a fraction
"Kagome…no, please, don't tell me that…that...that…you actually liked holding hands with that jerk?"
Kagome sighed and shuffled her feet uncomfortably, "Maybe…so what if I liked it a little…and don't call him a jerk…"
Sango stood up from her position on the floor with disbelief, "Now you're defending HIM! Inuyasha Taisho! The one who caused you all that pain for no reason at all! The bastard who almost made you…made you…UHH! No Kagome, he's your enemy!"
Kagome bowed her head remembering what he almost made her do, what he had driven her to…
"You're right Sango…I don't know what I was thinking…I guess, since he was so kind and gentle and funny and- "
"Okay! I get it Kagome! Listen to yourself, you're sounding as if you like the guy!" exclaimed the senior
Kagome blushed…
"OH MY GOD! YOU LIKE HIM! YOU LIKE HIM DON'T YOU!" exclaimed Sango, who decided to fall on the couch at that moment
Kagome sighed, "I never said that…"
"But you were feeling it!" countered her friend
Kagome went over to the other side of the couch and sat on the arm of the large couch
Kagome sighed again thinking over her situation, "Anyway, even if I did like him…which I don't…it wouldn't interfere with my revenge…I promised myself that I would get him back…and I will…I want my revenge for what he did to me…but I need your help Sango…please…"
Sango put her hands on her eyes and groaned, "Kagomeeeeee! Why did you have to like him!"
"Oh, Sango! So what! It's not going to interfere! Ok!" Kagome leaned over her friends face, pulled her hands away from her face and looked her straight in the eye, "Ok."
Sango saw the determination in her eyes; she saw her pain, sorrow, anger, her need, and her pleading. Sango gave her a small smile, "Alright Kagome. I'll help you."
Kagome smiled and tapped her friend on the head jokingly, "Good, I thought I was going to have to kick your butt for a second there, now I'm going to get dressed so we can explore the campus!" and she walked merrily to her room
Sango watched her skip to her room and sighed, "Kagome…your mind may be determined, but is your heart?"
Sango knew that Kagome liked Inuyasha…bad…
'She kept talking about a certain I.T. on that day… why was I so stupid to not put two and two together! Even if they knew each other for that one day…I know that she got to really liking him…and this whole week she's been walking in a daze! She wouldn't even tell me why she was in such a state…until now!...and to make matters worse…Inuyasha hasn't been in his classes all week either…not that I care or anything…but, Kagome cared…I caught her looking at the seat in which he normally sits in…looking for him…and why the hell do I have this feeling that he likes her too! I hope that isn't the case…Kagome wouldn't know what to do at all! Her determination would probably start to lack…UGHHHHH! This is too much! Final line is that my best friend needs me and I'm going to help her in everything and anything!'
Sango stood up with tears of determination flowing down her face and had her fist to her chest
"Uh…Sango…are you ok?" asked an already dressed Kagome
Sango turned around fast bright red, "Did you see all of that?"
"Uh…yeah…you sprang from the couch and started tearing like crazy…umm…are you ok?"
"My face hurts…I got whiplash…"
Kagome sighed and walked to the door, she opened it and looked back; "You're an idiot…" she then bolted out the door
"KAGOME! GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE…" her voice faded as she chased Kagome down the hallway…
"Stop"
"HAHAHAHA"
"Stop"
"HAHAHAHA"
"STOP"
"HAHAHAHAHA"
"OK THAT'S IT!"
A silvered haired hanyou pounced on a laughing dark haired human.
10 minutes later…
"Now Inuyasha…there's no need to be rash…" said a frightened Miroku as he stepped back from a growling hanyou who was currently holding a lighter
"Well then, you better stop laughing or all these will turn to ashes." Warned Inuyasha
Miroku stared helplessly at his precious folder full of Sango's pictures and pictures of attractive girls on campus… (Pervert…)
"Alright! I won't laugh anymore…just hand over the folder and everything will be fine…" Miroku said cautiously and extended his hand out to receive the folder
Inuyasha looked at him suspiciously, "You must give me something in return for this…" Inuyasha saw Miroku hesitate and he waved the folder over the small fire
"NO! Okay, okay…I know exactly what to give you…but it's in the folder…" bargained Miroku
Inuyasha looked at the folder and then at Miroku, "There is nothing in this folder that will interest me…is there?"
Miroku grinned for he knew he had the hanyou's curiosity, therefore the advantage "On the contrary my friend, there IS something in that folder that you will be very happy with."
Miroku and Inuyasha stared at each other and Inuyasha finally tossed the folder to Miroku. Miroku immediately caught it
"Now, give me this thing that you say that I will be exceptionally happy with." Said Inuyasha while eyeing Miroku carefully
Miroku smiled and dug into the folder full of photos, "She's the hottest thing on campus right now! Do you know how much people are paying for her picture! It's unbelievable!"
Inuyasha looked at him surprised, "Since when are you selling photos of girls! I knew you were a pervert, but don't you think this is going a little too far?"
Miroku kept searching while explaining to Inuyasha his business, "Hey! Not those kinds of pictures! The pictures that I sell are casual pictures. These girls are not forced into posing for my pictures, on the contrary, I must have their permission to take photos of them and permission to sale them. So it's all very legal my friend, people do it all the time! Practically all the girls I've asked so far are flattered and give me their permission right away, but there have only been two girls I had to persuade drastically so I can take their pictures…Guess who the sec – INUYASHA!"
Inuyasha turned around and looked at Miroku as innocently as he could while sipping on his ramen noodles; Miroku gave him an evil glare, "Were you even listening?"
Inuyasha sipped the rest of his ramen and answered, "Uh, well I got hungry around the part where you said that you had permission from the girls, but from there, it's was all just the sweet smell and taste of my ramen noodles."
Miroku gave him a boring look and stepped up to his friend, "Inuyasha you really get on my nerves sometimes."
! BONK !
"OW! What the fuck was that! Why did you do that!" argued Inuyasha while massaging his throbbing head from the hard wack Miroku gave him
"Oh, stop crying you know you deserved it" Said Miroku as he returned to finding the picture
Inuyasha stuck out his tongue at Miroku and sat on the comfy chair in Indian-style and pouted
"AH HA! Found it!" called out Miroku when he found the prized photo
"About damn time!" shouted Inuyasha
"Well, if SOMEONE hadn't SHAKEN my folder, I may have had found it SOONER…since I had all my pictures LABELED and everything…" mumbled Miroku
"Wait! Why are you giving me a picture anyway! I don't want a picture of those girls! That's just weird! Even with permission! There is absolutely no one that can possibly catch my…"
Inuyasha stopped dead when a picture of the girl, who hasn't been able to get out of his mind for the past week, was right in front of his face…
"Kagome Higurashi, 17-years old, miko, favorite color green, a little shorter than you, doesn't like a lot of make-up, a temporarily retired model, beautiful smile, enchanting eyes, and unbelievable curves!"
Inuyasha took the picture gently, scared that he would scratch the beautiful photo with his claws, and just stared at the goddess in his hands
Kagome was sitting on one of the benches around the campus. She was sporting tight jeans, with a tank-top that showed off her belly a little bit, black tennis shoes, and a pink jewel hung around her neck. The sunlight shown on her hair, which further heightened her natural silvery blue highlights. Her hair furthered let her eyes shine and bring out the many different colors that they hid in them. A smile…no more like a laugh escaped her rosy lips and her cheeks held a slight blush to them. And no doubt, her outfit brought out her famous unbelievable curves…
Inuyasha was fixated on the picture, when he heard Miroku's voice
"You really like her…don't you?" Miroku asked which sounded more like a statement
Inuyasha looked at him and turned away, not answering
Miroku shook his head and sat next to Inuyasha in the closest chair, "Inuyasha…you're a dumbass."
"What was that for!" exclaimed Inuyasha as he turned to Miroku
"Well, it's true! Not only did you bully her in junior high…and I've been told very harshly too…and you knew how she would probably feel about you even after these 4 years…which would be hatred Inuyasha, so crush that twinkle of hope from your eyes…and you couldn't stand up to her like a man and tell her who you are! NO! Instead you made her think you were someone else…someone who wouldn't hurt her! You flirted with her! I bet she even liked you and fell for your nice gestures and funny jokes…liked, Inuyasha, as in past tense…and now that she knows who you are…which was pretty funny how it happened by the way…(Inuyasha growls)…I bet she's even more determined to make your life a living hell! So all your actions conclude that you, Inuyasha Taisho, are and will forever be… a dumbass."
Inuyasha looked at Miroku and stood up, "You know, you're right Miroku, I should've stood up to her, instead of lying to her like that! I'm going to apologize to her! In fact, I'm going to apologize to her right now!" so the very determined and confident Inuyasha went to go walk out the door…but as soon as he touched the door knob…he stopped
Miroku watched Inuyasha for about 5 minutes before he threw a ball to his head
"HEY! What the hell!" yelled Inuyasha to his roommate
"Sorry…you weren't moving and I freaked out so I decided to throw the ball to see if you were ok…"
"You could've just ASKED!"
"Huh…that didn't occur to me…"
Inuyasha slapped his forehead and shook his head
"Why are you shaking your head?"
"I'm shaking my head in pity for my retarded roommate…" replied Inuyasha
Miroku looked around their room, "HEY! THAT'S ME!"
"NO SHIT IDIOT!"
"That's it Inuyasha you're going down!" threatened Miroku
"Please! You can't even lay a finger on me!" said a confident hanyou
"Maybe I can't but my spell scrolls sure can"
"NO! DAMMIT! I thought I locked all of those away!" shouted Inuyasha and bolted out the door
"COME BACK HERE YOU DUMBASS!" yelled Miroku after him
About 5 minutes later…
Inuyasha and Miroku ran back to their room
"Why didn't you tell me that I didn't have anything on but a shirt and boxers…" gritted Inuyasha
"I should ask you the same thing…" replied Miroku as they both went to put on some decent clothing
"Oh, Kagome, you're such a klutz…" commented Sango as she waited until Kagome fully healed herself
"I swear! I didn't see that pencil!" exclaimed Kagome as she healed her bleeding knee
Kagome stood once the scar was healed and she had wiped off the blood
"There all better! You know being a miko has its perks!" Said Kagome happily as she tested her knee
"Let's go already! I'm hungry! We've been running, jumping, and walking all day!" whined a hungry Sango
"Alright, alright already…geeze" responded Kagome with a roll of her eyes
"Hey! You can't tell me that you're not hungry!" countered Sango
"Actually I'm n-" Kagome was cut off when her stomach decided to give a loud growl at that moment
Sango chuckled when she heard the growl
"Maybe I'm a little hungry…" and the two girls laughed as they walked to the large cafeteria that their boarding school provided
"Inuyasha, I think they left the campus…" said a bored Miroku
Inuyasha didn't answer for he was currently sniffing the ground for Kagome's scent
"Come on! Inuyasha, you've been sniffing for her all day! And may I remind you that we…well, I didn't have any breakfast when we left…the first time…or the second time…" added Miroku who looked just about ready to choke his best friend
Inuyasha was about to counter back when he smelled a sweet delicious scent that was just calling for him to come to it…
"AH HA!" shouted Inuyasha and jumped off from the ground
"You found her!"
Inuyasha turned, "Nope! I smell ramen! Let's go!" and he sprinted off to the cafeteria
"Why did you bestow him on me? Why! Why! Whatever did I do!" cried Miroku to the heavens above
"Hey! You coming or what!" shouted Inuyasha
"Coming!" and Miroku sprinted off happily... (...idiot...)
Kagome looked at the bill that the student-waitress had put on their table, "Alright Sango, I'll pay half and you pay half."
"…"
Kagome looked at Sango when she didn't say anything, "Sango…what's wrong?"
"Umm…heh…funny thing…I left my wallet at the dorm…heh…"
"So, tell me what we're going to do now!"
"Umm…I don't know…well you have money…"
"I'm not going to pay for all of this!"
"So what are we supposed to do?"
Kagome thought about it but then gave out a sigh, "Fine, but you owe half of this."
Sango smiled brightly, "Thank you!"
After Kagome had paid, the girls got up when suddenly Sango turned around alarmed
"What is it now Sango?"
"Umm…nothing…uh…why don't we take the back door?" but Sango didn't wait for an answer for she was already pushing Kagome to the back door
"Hey! Why can't we take the front door?"
"Because…taking the back door is more…more…fun…" stammered Sango as she kept pushing
"Sango! This is crazy! Stop!" Kagome released herself from Sango and started walking to the front door
"Kagome come back!" shouted Sango and starting running after her
Kagome saw this and started running, thinking it was some kind of game
When Kagome was just about to open the front door she looked back at Sango and stuck her tongue out at her, when all of a sudden…
! BAM !
"Inuyasha! Slow down!" cried Miroku at the hanyou who was running at top speed
"Are you kidding me? This cafeteria makes the BEST ramen!" and he kept up his sprint
Inuyasha slowed down, just a tiny fraction to open the door when…
! BAM !
Inuyasha woke up and find himself in some dorm in a very comfortable couch…that certainly was not his! He sprung up but regretted that right away when the large headache hit him full force and he sank back down to the couch
'I gotta find out where I am…but my head hurts so much…what the hell did I hit!...uh…come on…ok, 1,2,…wait…ok…1,2,3!'
And Inuyasha got up, slowly this time, and looked around
He turned to his right and…he couldn't breathe…
On another couch to his right, was the girl in which he's been looking for and practically mind obsessed with this whole week…Kagome Higurashi
Kagome Higurashi was currently sleeping on the couch with bandages wrapped around her forehead. The blanket that someone put over her was falling steadily to the floor, leaving one of her bare legs out in the open and her loose tank-top was currently not doing a good job at covering her toned abdomen. Her rosy lips were parted slightly and she just looked really cute to Inuyasha at that moment.
Inuyasha stared, for what seemed like ages, at the sleeping girl. Thinking it was safe, he got up and tip-toed over to the snoozing beauty. His face was right over hers…when suddenly he saw her stir…
Her eyes fluttered for a second and it took her a few moments for her sight to get clear. And when her sight finally registered in place she was staring straight into the most beautiful amber eyes she had ever seen…
Kagome looked at the face in which those eyes belong to…and…
She screamed…
