Chapter 21: Bond

When Kagome had awakened that morning, it had been a little odd. Somehow she had ended up on the bed again, but this time there was this warm, comforting body huddled closely to her own. She assumed right away that it was InuYasha, which was correct, but the freaky thing was…she couldn't feel any clothes on him. She let her hands feel his barren arms and legs… and there was no trace of clothing anywhere. She blushed profusely and jumped right out of bed, reaching for the spare glasses she had on his night stand. She sighed in relief when she saw boxers at least, but her heart was still truckin' as she let her eyes set on his firm build. She immediately turned that gawking stare into an embarrassed pissed off one when she saw him waking.

"Y-you're not dressed! A-and I'm on the bed with you! I-I can't! Oh my god!" she could feel her heart beating at a dangerously fast rate. She took a couple of deep, calming breaths. InuYasha, in the mean while, was giving her a dazed and rather amused smile. She was pretty asleep, but it was extremely beautiful when her eternal eyes were set aflame.

"It's just a little skin, sweetie; nothing too bad," he said, letting her relax herself. He stretched his body out and stood up to go search through his closet. She looked at him and smiled, walking over to him in a perplexing way.

"I know, and I'm sorry," she said as she wrapped her arms around him warmly. He was confused with her sudden mood swing but complied none-the-less and hugged her back. But when he felt her hand reaching for his chest, he pulled back in time to see her pinch the top of his chest harshly.

"Sorry for not having a shirt on, hunk?" she asked sweetly, a wide smile shining on her face. He rubbed his reddening skin and pouted.

"I'm not all that ugly without my shirt," he joked.

"Not all that ugly at all," she chucked in counterfeit sweetness.

They both jolted when a voice came blowing through the doorway, "You both look damn ugly to me," came Sesshomaru's cool voice.

oOo

Sango watched Kagome closely. She wasn't wearing her glasses anymore and she was… laughing and…with INUYASHA! Of all people in the world to be hanging out with after her trip to the hospital, she had to be with an arrogant, conceited, cocky bastard like InuYasha. She looked so happy with the guy she said she absolutely couldn't stand! This was seriously fucked up! She could feel her heart rate increase and her head grow fiery with all the built up furry. She felt so mad that InuYasha had somehow had Kagome hang out with them. Err! She wanted to go up and smack his smug head right off his shoulder, but…what if Kagome really liked this conceited pig? Kagome would never forgive her. She sighed warily and stormed off to first period. On the bright side, she got to see Miroku. Even though she knew he liked Kagome, she couldn't help how her mind fogged up in a pink cloud when she saw him walk past her.

oOo

Since Kagome was really her only true friend, she was sitting alone in the abandoned corner of the cafeteria. Kagome couldn't come and sit with her simply because she didn't have this lunch period, if not, she was sure she would have sat with her.

She looked at the food she had brought to eat on her own. She looked at it with a feeling of unwanted engraved in her sight.

oOo

In eighth period, she saw Kagome looking out of the window in the back of the room; she looked deep in thought. She looked like there was a barrier placed around her, her thoughts clinging to the walls of the barrier, increasing the size with the minutes passed. As the barrier became bigger, however, Sango felt more and more distant from her. She had the feeling that she was going to lose Kagome. Her heart felt like she had cut it with a razor, a deep clean cut that bled until she couldn't feel it.

She almost tripped over backwards when Kagome looked over at her and smiled friendlily. She motioned her over next to her, her hand waving vigorously.

"Sango, come, sit," she said happily. Sango did as she was told and came to sit next to her as casually as she could.

"Hey, you get sick or something?" she asked, referring to the days she was absent from school.

"Yeah, I…was nearly high on my meds for the last couple of days," remembering that she had left her medication in her room. 'Fuck!'

"Wow, high off your meds… oh, I saw you with Hoshi and Takashi this morning…they bugging you?" she asked, trying not to say Miroku's name oddly.

"Nah, I'm… well I guess I could say I'm friends with them both," she said, smiling at the image of InuYasha holding her, but quickly looking her friend in the eye so as not to be suspicious.

"Geez, one minute you hate their guts and even describe in detail how you'd have them killed and the next your drooling over puppy ears," she said sarcastically, hoping since she's now friends with Miroku, she could watch him more often.

Kagome smiled, heartily laughing at the irony of the situation, "I'm such a hypocrite. Someone should shoot me before I confuse the world," she teased. Sango could feel the distance being cut down as they began talking about the two boys.

oOo

After the bell had rung, Kagome didn't run out of the door like she usually did at the end of the school day; she took her time and continued talking to Sango, her body seeming lighter somehow. Kagome walked with Sango to her bus.

"Are you riding the later bus?" she asked, knowing that she could ride with her if she was. She personally didn't like riding the early bus; it was a pain in the ass to go and catch it right after school, but Kagome always took it because she liked being home. However, Kagome nodded no, readjusting her backpack that was slung nonchalantly over one shoulder.

"I got a different ride…my mom doesn't want me to ride the bus anymore. She's becoming real paranoid lately, ya know?" she lied flawlessly. Sango shrugged her shoulders, assuming it was because of Kagome's attack.

"Weird…hey, what's his face is waving at you?" Sango said, pointing at InuYasha and Miroku as they walked over to Kagome enthusiastically. Kagome turned around nonchalantly, hiding the fact that she could finally see InuYasha today.

As soon as InuYasha came with in arm distance he reached out to place his hand in Kagome's small hand; he wanted to lace their fingers together. Kagome caught the action from the corner of her eye and folded her arms around her middle. She didn't want to give any hints that they were together but she smiled at him; she could at least do that for the moment.

InuYasha saw the smile that she gave him; he saw her eyes shine for him in want. So he smiled back and placed his hands in his jean pockets.

Sango stared at them oddly, not understanding their unspoken language. This was raising suspicion in the back of her head; there must be something going on between the two of them. She would find out later.

AH! I'm sorry! Things have been a little busy, so it's been hard to get this done…. Please don't be mad . kewwwww! If you stuck with me and my random updates, thank you…please R&R…
