Kagasha: Hey guys. Sorry I haven't written another chappie in a while. I've just been caught up in other things and in other stories, that I just couldn't get to this one. But now, I finally made another chappie. I know it took forever though. The style might've changed, but it's still the same Kagasha material. ENJOY!!!!!!

Young Love

Lost and Confused

Kagome walked downstairs and into the kitchen. "Need any help Mom?" "Oh sure", she said while slicing some carrots and putting them into the pot of noodles. Sango passed Kagome the chicken. "Here. Cut this up and season it." "Okay." She started to cut up the chicken as Inu-yasha sat on the couch and watched tv. He wasn't even watching the tv, he was thinking about him and Kagome. How could I even do that to her heart? I know she's thinking about Kouga, I just know it. I want her to be with me, but I know that she's wondering about Kouga. He sighed and slouched. I'll just make her forget about him.

After a while, the food was done and everyone was sitting gown and eating. Inu-yasha slurped up his noodles and smiled. "These are good." Ms. Higurashi smiled and nodded. "Thank you, but Sango and Kagome helped as well." He looked to his left and gave Kagome a big smile. "You can cook." She blushed. Ms. Higurashi laid Sota on her chest, his head on her shoulder, as she rubbed his back. Inu-yasha rubbed Kagome's hand under table and held it softly. She blushed. He's so sweet. Kouga used to do things like this. She shook her head vigorously. Stop thinking about him Kagome. It's about Inu-yasha now. Not Kouga. But I wish it was.

Everyone was done eating and Kouga, Inu-yasha, and Sango were about to go home. Kouga and Kagome sat on her bed and kissed. They just couldn't help it. They wanted each other bad. But Kouga just could'nt come to terms with that. He still thought that they weren't supposed to fuss or fight. In his mind, it was all about love and passion. Kouga grabbed Kagome's legs and rubbed them gently. "Kouga..." "Mmhmm?" "What...about..Inu-yasha?" That question sort of slipped out of her mouth. She didn't mean to say it. Kouga stopped and stared at her. "You're with Inu-yasha?" She slowly nodded. "That fast huh? You must've been with him before we even broke up." He sat up and shook his head. "And you were my girl. Aint nothing, but a cheater." She leaned forward and held his hand. "Kouga, it's not even like that. He had just asked me and I was so lost that I told him yes."

He looked me dead in my eyes. "You love him?" Those eyes of his. Oh my goodness, they kill. Those deep cerulean pools. It looks like he's looking deep inside me, at my soul...searching. Searching for an answer to his question without me even answering. Do I even love Inu-yasha as much as I loved Kouga? I do, but it's not the same love. I love Inu-yasha as a friend, a very dear friend. But Kouga..he's in a whole new category. I love him like boyfriend. My lover or something. Right now, there's no doubt in my heart that Kouga's my heart.

"Kouga, not as much as I love you." He looked her over, still searching. He sighed and got up. "Talk to you later.", he said he walked out her door and down the steps. Kagome just sat there, mouth slightly opened and her eyes wide. She couldn't understand what just happened. She was starting to feel sick. She ran into the bathroom and threw up. Down stairs, Ms. Higurashi heard Kagome's heaving. "Kagome, you ok?" Kagome threw up again. "Honey?" "I'm...I'm fine." She threw up again. Kouga just simply said his good-byes and left out the door. I can't stay here anymore. It's killing me.

Inu-yasha ran upstairs and into the bathroom. He knelt down and patted her back. "You ok Kagome?" "Not really." She sat down and let Inu-yasha wiped off her mouth with a wet rag. "What got you sick like that?" "Maybe it was the food", she said lying. She knew it wasn't the food. It was Kouga. It was that feeling he gave her earlier that made her throw up like that. Inu-yasha wiped the last little bit of throw up from the side of her face and smiled. "There. You ok now?" She gave him a lousy nod. "Come on. I'll take you to your room." He stood and held up Kagome's body as they walked into her room. He laid her on the bed. He gave her a big sunshine smile. "I love you Kagome." "Love you too Inu-yasha", she said as she rolled over, her back facing him, and sighed. Inu-yasha gave Kagome and quick kiss on the cheek and went downstairs.

"Is she ok?" "Yea, I guess the food got her sick." He got his things together. "Bye Ms. Higurashi. See ya Sango. Bye little Sota", he said as he swirled his finger in Sota's face. Sota giggled and smiled. "Wait Inu-yasha, I'll walk with you. Bye Ms. Higurashi. Come on Inu-yasha." They waved and walked out the door. Now everything was normal in the Higurashi home. No extra people, just Ms. Higurashi, Kagome, and Sota. Ms. Higurashi craddled Sota in her arms. "Time for you to go to get fed and go to sleep." She got a bottle from the refrigerator, warmed it up, and went upstairs to her room. She laid down, got confortable, and fed him.

Soon, Sota and Ms. Higurashi was asleep, but Kagome wasn't. She was wide awake. She couldn't get Kouga out of her mind. She wanted to be near him and just cuddle up with him. Inu-yasha wasn't even in the picture. It was all about her and Kouga. Why am I with Inu-yasha? Is it for pity or is it really because I love him? Or is there even a reason? I don't there is a reason as to why I'm with Inu-yasha. I want to be with Kouga. She started crying, but she cried quietly because she didn't want them to hear her. I love him so much, but he doesn't even want to be with me. He probably wants to be with Ayame. I hate her!!! She rolled over and laid flat on her back. I knew he wanted Ayame to begin with. From the moment I seen them in class with his head on her shoulder. What does she have that I don't? She jumped to the conclusion that Ayame was the cause of the break-up, but she wasn't even involved.

Kouga sat on his bed and fiddled with a pencil he had in his hand. After this weekend, I don't want to go back to school. I just want to stay home. I can't see Kagome like that. I know she's just gonna fall apart when she sees me. He sighed. I'm just gonna have to deal with it.

Kagasha: How'd it go? Was it a nice comeback chappie? You guys should know how it goes by now. Give at least 5 good reviews and I'll put up another chappie. And please good people, NO FLAMES!!!!! I hate them. Well anywayz, bye for now!!!!!!!
