Chapter revised
Souta just stood there looking at his sister and her new boyfriend, and all he could think was Gross and It's about time. He saw Kagome blush and Inuyasha looked like he was about to be harassed, but Souta wasn't like that anymore. He'd grown up since Kagome first started to go to the past. So instead he ignored thier embrace and said. "Kagome Hojo is at the door and he wants to see you." Kagome let go of Inuyasha, but then grabbed his hand, she brought him toward Souta.
"Take Inuyasha around the back, don't let Hojo see him, I'll go talk to Hojo myself." With that she rushed to the front of the house, thanking Kami that Hojo hadn't seen Inuyasha and her by the shrine. When she got there, "hello, Hojo. What's going on?" Kagome stepped up to the door behind her. Hojo smiled, and presented her with some flowers.
"Hi Kagome, I brought these flowers to you. I heard you where feeling better and I decided to come say hello. Their great for the indoors."
"Their beautiful, thank you." Kagome always felt weird when Hojo presented her with gifts, it just didn't seem, right. Like she was leading him on. 'Well, I'm not going to do that any more, I'm going to tell him the truth.' Kagome nodded her head and looked Hojo in the face. "Hojo, I need to confess something." The smile left Hojo's face. It was replaced with one of concern.
"Is something wrong, Kagome?"
"Yeah, Hojo, you're a great guy and all but I don't feel the same way about you. I'm in love with someone else." Kagome pushed the flowers back towards him. "I'm sorry if I've led you on in any way, it just wouldn't work for us. I'm sorry." Kagome looked at him, and she felt horrid. His face had this kind of twisted look to it. Like right after eating a really, really sour lemon. Slowly Hojo's face became slack and a defeated sigh came from his mouth. He lowered his head this time. Without saying anything he turned and headed towards the stairs. Kagome wanted to go after him, but knew that would be to mean. At that moment, Kagome got a glimpse of what Inuyasha had put her through when he'd turned his back on her. After all the times he'd done it to her, she'd still forgiven him, and now she knew that he loved her, that Kikyou would never come between them. "I hope he finds someone like that, someone who can truly appreciate him." Kagome turned back toward the house.
