Chapter 27

"Kagome and Hojo?"

Miroku choked out as they walked out of our site.

"They're together?"

"That, man, is sick and unnatural."

"Hot girls do not date fagots…do they?"

"Well you've had hot girlfriends before so obviously they do."

Hachi fingered Rae.

I couldn't speak. I was stunned. Kagome was with Hojo? What about…what about me? We kissed! She kissed me back. Did that mean nothing?

I almost smacked myself the minute I thought that. I'm sounding like a chick. I always used to kiss girls and it never meant anything. Then again, the keyword there is 'used' to. I haven't hooked up with any girl this whole school year. I haven't wanted any girl. Any girl but her.

"You okay InuYasha?"

"What?"

All the guys were looking at me with…concern? Since when did I need their pity?

"Feh. Yeah I'm fine. It's not like I care if she's with some other guy. It's a free country."

Liar, liar pants on fire. I care way more then I should. I stood up and began to walk away.

"InuYasha?"

"I need to go…do something."

That 'something' I needed to do was head over to the juniors part of the school and lean up against Kagome's locker, waiting for her to come by. The bell rang and all the students gathered their belonging from their lockers. Almost every junior girl smiled at me or waved a hello. I ignored them all. Then, finally, the girl I was waiting for came by.

With Hojo.

"Um, do you want me to leave?"

He asked Kagome, but she just shook her head a 'no' and smiled at him. They squeezed eachother's hands. I wanted to squeeze his neck.

"Excuse me InuYasha. I need to get my books."

"And I need to talk to you about something."

She exhaled deeply and pursed her lips tightly together.

"Well it'll have to wait because class is starting soon and I'm going to be late."

"Then be late. I need to talk to you."

"InuYasha, I am not going to be 5 minutes late to my class just so I can talk to you."

"It's going to take more then 5 minutes. Might as well skip the whole class."

"I don't skip classes just to talk to someone."

"Well this talk is about something important so it's worth it."

Hojo shifted on his feet uncomfortably, glancing down at his watch. I glared at him.

"If this is taking so long you can just fuck off. You aren't even a part of this conversation."

"Hojo?"

Kagome softened her voice and turned her attention to him.

"You head on to class. I'll meet you after school."

"W-what about you?"

"I won't be attending class this afternoon."

She shot me a dirty glance.

"But Kagome! Skipping class is bad and is a bad choice!"

"I'll be fine. Just make an excuse for me. Thanks Hojo."

She thanked him before he could argue. He sighed heavily then leaned down and quickly pecked her lips.

"See you after school."

With a nervous but warning look at me, he turned on his heel and sped walked away. Kagome crossed her arms and turned back to me.

"This better be important."

"It is. Let's go outside to talk."

She followed me as I led the way.
