Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha.
-----------------------------------------------
It was 1 o'clock in the morning, and I woke up screaming my head off. I had a nightmare, but it wasn't just any nightmare, it was a nightmare about that night. The night they died. I've never really been afraid of much, but after that night, I fully realized my fears. After I woke up screaming that's when I decided, I needed to tell someone. I needed someone to know, so I could just get this story out and not keep it locked inside me. I dedcided, tomorrow after school I was going to tell somebody the story of my locket. Who was I going to tell? Well I hadn't thought that far ahead yet, but I was going to tell someone, anyone who would listen.
I thought that I could keep this story locked up forever and the only ones who would ever know, would be the police officers, my grandpa, and me. My grandpa said that this whole event would make me stronger, make me learn how to live life, but it's doing the opposite, it's tearing me limb from limb.
I went back to sleep trying to think of anything but that. After about an hour of tossing and turning I finally fell asleep, dreaming of him, and all the good times we had together before the insident.
-------------
"BEEP BEEP BEEP."
Once again I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I got up, and did my normal morning routine. Usually I'm never fully awake in the mornings, and from my lack of sleep last night you would think I'm more not awake than usual, but today I was fully awake. Images of everything went throught my mind. Finally my thoughts landed on school. More persisly on Sango's and Ayame's plan. They said that they didn't like Kikyo. She had been glaring at me, but that was probably because I was hanging out with her boyfriend. Everyone seemed to have something against Kikyo, even Inuyasha. Of course everyone has something against everybody, but with Kikyo it was her personality.
I left for school normal time. It was just my second day of school and, even though I didn't do much talking, I had some friends. There was Sango, the laid back, non caring, girl who went out with Miroku. Next there was Ayame, the really girly girl, who was like a fasion expert. Then there was Miroku, I have only talk to him once or twice, but I could still tell that he was the more intelligent one of the group. My last 'friend' I met yesterday was Inuyasha. Sango said that he was usually stubborn, conceited, and always jerk-like. The Inuyasha that I was with yesterday, he was almost the complete opposite. Sure his stubborness showed through, but he was kind, and understanding. It's deffenitally going to take me awhile to figure him out.
"Hey, Angel." Called Sango as I approached the school, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Hi." I responded.
"So did you two have fun last night?" Miroku asked, more to Inuyasha then me.
"Yeah, but not like that pervert."
New thing to add to my list, Miroku's a pervert.
"Hey Inuyasha." We all turned to see none other than Kikyo herself.
"Hey babe."
Kikyo came over to him, and he wrapped his arm around her waist and gave her a kiss. Everyone turned away with a look of disgust on their faces.
"Why don't you guys like her?" I whispered to Miroku.
"She's...I'll tell you later."
I gave him a look and he pointed to Inuyasha's dog ears. I nodded.
"So how was the party last night?" Kikyo asked with a smile on her face.
"It was great, Kikyo. Inuyasha spent most of it with, Angel." Sango stated with a smirk on her face.
"Who's Angel?"
"Her." Sango pointed to me.
"You spent the whole night with her?" Kikyo gave Inuyasha a sad look
"Angel and I are just friends." He told her.
"Yet he spent more time with Angel yesterday, than he has with Kikyo in a long time." Sango whispered to Miroku.
"What'd you say Sango?" Inuyasha asked with an annoyed look on his face.
"I just said that you spent more time with Angel yesterday, than you have with Kikyo in along time." Sango was obvoisly testing him.
Normal POV
"Can I talk to you for a minute Sango?" Inuyasha pulled Sango off to the side. "What are you trying to do?"
"Nothing." Sango replied inoccently.
"Sango listen, I know that you don't like Kikyo-" Sango cut him off.
"Me or anybody else." She corrected him.
"Whatever, but you guys don't havve to try and bite my head off just for liking her." He told her calmly.
"Sorry we just don't think she is right for you."
"Then who is?"
"That's the wrong question to ask me, because whoever I say you're going to turn down, even though it's obvouis that you like her." Sango said the last part quietly.
"Fine then if you aren't going to tell me, I'm going back to my girlfriend, and I hope you guys can except that she has that title." He walked off back to Kikyo, who right away put her arms around Inuyasha once more.
"Didn't go well?" Miroku asked.
"No, not at all."
Kagome's POV
Sango was obviously hurt about something when she walked back to the group. No matter what she would not make eye contact with Inuyasha or Kikyo. Once the bell rang signally first period, Sango gave me a half smile and headed to class. I walked into the building behind her and went to my first class. I sat in the same spot I sat yesterday and started taking down notes. This class, surprisingly went by fast and before I knew it the bell rang for second period. How grateful I was for that though, social studies is one of my least favorite classes. I walked silently to my second period. I was the second one in the class room. I thought about whether I should sit next to Inuyasha or not. I decided he hadn't done anything wrong so sat in the same seat as yesterday, right next to where Inuyasha would sit. Sure enough when he entered the class room he sat right next to me.
I sat there thinking for about 10 minutes before I passed him a note that read:
Dog Boy,
Still want to know about my neckalce?
-Angel
I passed him the note and he read it with a smirk on his face. Why was he alsways smirking? After a couple minutes the note landed back onto my desk.
Why you going to tell me about it?
-Inuyasha.
I read what he wrote and rolled my eyes.
I need to talk to you after school. I'll tell you about my necklace, I think it might help to get the story out in the open.
-Angel.
P.S. Your name is Dog Boy, I have no clue who this Inuyasha kid is. lol
I gave him the note and watched him smile as I tried to focus on class, but no matter what I did I couldn't. The note once again found it's way back to my desk.
Sure we can talk after school, we can go to the park or something. And it does help to not keep stuff locked up in side.
-Inuyasha.
P.S. My name is Inuyasha not Dog Boy.
Telling Inuyasha about my past, it just seemed so right, so obvious. When I first had the nightmare, I kinda imagined telling Sango or somebody, but I know that Inuyasha will listen to everything that I say.
Alright Dog Boy. Talk to you later.
-Angel
He read the note, gave me a smile, and threw it away. Now all I had to do way wait. Wait intill I could get this whole story off my chest, and wait intill Inuyasha knew about everything.
----------------
Finally the last bell of the day, rung. I put my books into my book bag and headed out the door. Once I was at the entrance of school I spotted Inuyasha. He was with Kikyo, of course. I walked over to him and gave him a fake smile.
"Angel, I don't think I can go with you, Kikyo needs me to drive her home." Inuyasha said with a blank face.
"Oh."
Even the fake smile that was plastered on my face was gone. I was going to tell him everything, and now he can't because of her. Even through all of this I still can't hate Kikyo, but I can still somewhat dislike her. I looked up at Inuyasha and gave him a disapointed look, then walked away without saying anything.
"Wait."
I continued to walk. Sango was right, Kikyo isn't right for him. Kikyo is making him blind. He shouldn't just turn away from his friends for some girl. Friends can last forever, but girlfriends almost never don't; Atleast when you're in highschool. I could hear him keep telling me to wait but I kept on walking. Walking towards where? I wasn't sure, but I wasn't staying there. I have only known Inuyasha for 2 days, but it seems like we've been friends forever the way he treated me, up intill now. I could be over reacting, but then again who wouldn't? I was about to tell him pretty much everything about me, and he turns me away to drive his girlfriend home.
"Angel, wait. Just tell me what's wrong."
He grabbed me on the shoulder and spun me around.
"You wanna know what's wrong?" I asked showing no emotion.
He nodded.
"What's wrong is you. Sango was right. I thought you could help me, but you're just making everything worse. Inuyasha, just stay out of my life, and go back to your girlfriend who seems to be more important than anything right now."
I tried to start walking again, but I was held back by Inuyasha's forcful grip.
"Angel-"
"Don't call me that." I demanded.
It wasn't that I didn't like being called Angel, it was the fact the he made it up, and from this point on I hated him.
"Fine, just listen."
"That's what I wanted you to do."
He gave me a confused look.
"Yesterday, in the auditorium, you wanted to know about my necklace, and Koga, but then you had to go and be a jerk. I should have known. People talked about you, they said that you were always a jerk. I guess now I'm just seeing the true you come out. Ditching your friends and everything, I thought you would be better than that, not to change your plans that you've had since the begining of the day for some zombie that is going to hurt you one day." I turned away from him.
No longer could I look into those amber eyes. I could hear footsteps and then Sango was there with us obviously she heard everything.
"Inuyasha! Do you care about Kikyo more than you care about your friends? You've known Miroku and I since like 1st grade, and this isn't the first time you ditched one of us to be with her. At first I let it slide because it's just like a kid with a new toy, they want to have all their time playing with it. But now you've really screwed up. From what I can tell Angel is really upset and you obvoiusly don't care, so do you know what? Go back to your girlfriend, but don't even try talking to any of us." Sango started walking along with me.
I heard Inuyasha yell back at us-
"Just because I couldn't talk to he after school you guys won't talk to me?"
Sango abruptly turned around.
"No, because you've hurt all of us at one point and Angel was right standing up to you, the first time that you did this to her. I thought that she could help you, that she could teach you how to be decent. I guess I was wrong, because you'll never be more than a stupid jerk!" Once again Sango started walking, and Ayame, who had been watching the whole time, joined us.
"Don't you think we might have just been over reacting a little?" I asked shyly.
"No, he does this none stop to us, and I've had it with him. If he values Kikyo more than his friends then fine!"
"How many times has he done it to you guys?"
"Pretty much everytime we make plans. That party last night, that's the first time we've hung out with him, out of school in months."
Sango, I could tell by the look on her face she was furious.
"I really needed to talk to him too." I said more to myself than to them.
"What about?" Ayame finally spoke.
"Nothing."
Some how, after everything that happened in these two days, I still couldn't see myself telling them about my past. I wanted to. I wanted to tell them everything, to prove to myself I didn't need Inuyasha, but something about him...something about him made me feel safe, and trusting. He reminded me so much of Koga. When I first met Koga he was kinda like Inuyasha, stubborn, selfish, noncaring. But as I got to know him, I began to like him more and more, and soon we were going out. I don't know why but even Inuyasha's smile, reminds me of Koga. Gosh I sound like a love-sick puppy. I just need a break, a break from all humanity.
I told Sango and Ayame I was going home. I was on my way to my house, when I stopped. I was at a park, I hadn't noticed before. It was beautiful. It had flowers all over, and the trees were giving off just the right amount of shade. The sun was just starting to set which made the flowers stick out and look even more beautiful. I approuched the park and silently sat on one of the swings. I didn't swing, I just sat there, looking at the sunset, and flowers.
Before I knew it something started pushing me gently on the swing. I looked back, and to my surprise saw Inuyasha. I quickly turned my head my a 'hmp' and crossed my arms along my chest.
"Come on, are you still mad?" He asked softly.
I thought about what Sango said and didn't reply. After a few minutes of silence, he stopped pushing me and sat on a swim next to me.
"I never drove Kikyo home. After Sango was done yelling at me, I walked around town thinking. The more I thought, the more I realized what a jerk I really was, and I'm sorry. I'm here now though."
He turned and looked at me. His face was apologetic, so atleast he truly was sorry. I don't know why but I felt like I needed to talk to him, but I can't. Not after what he said, not after he was going to ditch me.
"Angel? What's wrong?"
I looked at his amber eyes and cracked.
"Everything." I told him.
"What do you mean everything?"
"It's a long story."
"We've got time."
I took a big breath and started my story, the one I've kept locked up all this time.
"I live with my grampa. I live with him, because...because...because my parents are dead." I stopped and looked at him, straight in the eye.
"I'm sorry, but mine are too." He sympathized.
"You don't get it though...My parents...they were killed, right before my eyes. And if that wasn't bad enough, so was my current boyfriend at the time."
"So the locket-"
"Was from him. He gave it to me with the pictures already in it. He said that if I ever felt sad or weak, to hold it and remeber him. Koga was a lot like you. He was strong, romantic, fun and most of all, stubborn." I looked at the ground, pain evident on my face and started again. "I loved Koga so much. I would've died just to know he was okay, as goes for him. When I was younger, about 13 a guy named Naraku came into my life. Naraku had a thing for me, and when I turned him down, he said that he was going to make my life horrible. As the years passed his anger grew and instead of killing me-" My voice broke.
"He made you watch the worst thing possible, for you. Seeing the ones you love most die." Inuyasha guessed.
I nodded slowly tears brimming in my eyes.
"There's more, but I think we need to head home now." I choked out.
"Alright." He scribbled something down on a piece of paper. "Since today's Friday and we won't see eachother tomorrow, call me if you need someone to talk to. I know it's hard." He gave me a small reassuring hug. "Here I'll walk you home."
-------------------------------------------------------------
Since only two people voted, I compromised. I made a longer chapter, and made he tell him half of the story. Anyway, hope you liked it, and if you want leave a review.
