Note: I do not own Inuyasha. Hope you enjoy chapter 6!
Chapter 6:
[Kagome Point of View]
Inuyasha had been quiet through most of the time we had been in the mall. We'd been in a jewelery store and one clothing store. I didn't want to drag him into countless stores seeing as he is a guy. We walked into an Aeropostale and the lady smiled routinely as we passed her.
"Welcome to Aeropostale, let me know if you need anything."
I smiled and Inuyasha nodded. We walked to the display of the newest clothes and I started digging through them.
"Do you know Sango's size?" I asked, debating on a medium or small graphic tee.
"Um, Medium I think."
I nodded and pulled out a shirt that I thought Sango would like.
"You think she'd like it?" I asked, holding it up. He shrugged.
"Sure." I sighed and put the shirt back on the table. "What?" He asked.
"Nothing," I said nonchalantly and went to the rack and went through the numerous polos. I picked out a aquamarine one (AN:: hehe I have that one!) and studied it, trying to imagine how it would look on Sango. I turned to Inuyasha who was staring blankly at the floor.
"Hey Inuyasha," I said. He looked up at me.
"Hmm?"
"What about this one?" He nodded.
"I think she'd like that." I smiled and walked to stand in line. Inuyasha came behind me, his hands in his pockets. We stood there for a little while, and if it wasn't for the mild chatting of the people in the store, I would have sworn you could hear the crickets chirping.
"Why are you so quiet?" I asked as I set the shirt on the counter, ignoring the ladies greeting to hear Inuyasha's answer.
He shrugged. "Tell ya in a minute." I nodded and handed the lady a 20. She typed unseen things into the cash register and gave me back my change.
"Thanks, come back again soon."
I took up the bag and walked out of the store, Inuyasha trailing behind. I sat on the nearest mall bench and patted the seat beside of me. Inuyasha sighed but complied and sat down.
"Okay," I said, setting the bag down before turning to look at him.
"What's up?"
[Inuyasha Point of View]
I looked at my hands, trying to find what to say.
"I broke up with Kikyo," I said. "She was cheating on me."
"I'm sorry Inuyasha," Kagome told me, placing a hand on mine. I looked up at her and smirked slightly.
"It's not your fault."
"Well, still." She told me as if it justified anything. I sighed. I was slightly grateful I had ran into Kagome instead of Miroku or Sango. Kagome seemed more laid back. Miroku would blow everything up, and Sango would've been bent on personally handing Kikyo her ass.
"Hey Kagome," I said.
"Hm?" She asked, her eyebrows perking up slightly.
"This is between you and me for right now, k?" I said. She nodded.
"Sure."
We sat there for awhile, the silence not necessarily comfortable, but not awkward either. I suddenly heard Kagome's tummy growled, my sensitive ears picking it up with ease.
"Not hungry at all are we?" I asked, smirking. I laughed slightly when I saw her blushing. Then my own stomach started growling and I could feel the heat coming to my cheeks.
"Hungry at all?" Kagome asked tauntingly. I chuckled and stood up, taking her wrist and pulling her to her feet.
"Come on, there's a Wacdonalds down by Belk," I said. She nodded and we started walking.
"So what are you gonna do?" Kagome asked after a few moments.
"About what?"
"Kikyo." I sighed. I hadn't really thought about it.
"I guess just move on like I would with anything else."
Kagome nodded. "Just know I'm here for ya if you need me," She said, smiling. I smiled back.
"Thanks."
"Anytime," She said as we came to the food court in the mall.
"You wanna sit down and I'll go get us something?" I asked.
"Okay," She told me, sitting down at a 2 person table. I walked over to the counter of the Wacdonalds station and ordered 6 hamburgers and 2 drinks. I paid the money and took my tray up, walking back to Kagome. When I got to the table, she was looking at her cell phone.
"Hey," I said as I set the tray down on the table. She smiled and shut her phone, eagerly picking up a burger and unwrapping it. "Who was that?" I asked between bites of my burger.
"Koga." She said. I tensed up for a second before continuing to chew.
"What did that mangy wolf want?" I asked. She pretended not to notice the insult.
"Wanted to know if I had plans for today." She said, picking up her soda and taking a sip
"What did you tell him?" I questioned.
"I told him yea, that I was spending the day with Sango."
"Liar liar, pants on fire." I told her jokingly. She laughed and rolled her eyes.
"Oh shush. I mean Koga's nice at all, but he's not my type. So I had to come up with a reason not to go out with him today." She bit into her hamburger and chewed it slowly.
"Would you turn me down?" I asked teasingly. She shrugged.
"Probably not."
"Am I your type?" I asked.
"I don't know, you tell me."
"Well how can I do that if I don't know your type?" I inquired.
"You'll have to figure it out apparently."
"Trying to get me interested?"
"Is it working?" She asked sarcastically.
"I don't know, you tell me." I mocked her from earlier. She smiled into her hamburger.
"I'll go on a limb and say it is." She said, kidding.
"Cocky much?" I said. She chuckled.
"Nah, I'm just aware of how awesome I am." But from the smile she gave me, I could tell she was joking. She dug through her pocket and pulled out her phone, looking at the front screen. She sighed.
"It's almost 8. I need to be at home before 9," she said, slipping her phone back in her pocket.
"K, well after we eat, I'll take you home."
"But I rode my bike," She said.
"Strap it to the hood, who cares?"
"Thanks." I shrugged. We soon were done with our food and she threw the wrappers away.
"Ready to go?" She asked me.
"Yea," I said, standing up from the table. We walked outside of the mall and she unchained her bike from the bike rack and she pushed it towards my car. I grabbed a cable from my trunk and secured her bike on top of my car. I climbed into the driver's seat, and she slid into the passenger one. I pushed my mix CD in, and Just Mine by Nickelback started playing.
Tears come pourin` down my face,
no one knows how I feel.
I wanted to show you, all the feelings that are real.
Don`t look at me like that,
coz` I know I did nothin` to you.
I`ll show you all the things,
that you`ve put me through.
It is not a compliment,
it is words from my heart.
And that`s how they will be.....
I clicked the next button. Addicted by Saving Abel came on
I'm so addicted to
All the things you do
When….
Next.
Break even by The Script came through my speakers.
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven
Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven, even, no
What am I suppose to do
When the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
Kagome leaned over and hit the 'band' button on my radio. I looked over at her.
"Didn't think that was the best song for right now." She said, looking forward. I looked at the road, thankful when a non-breakup related song came on.
Tik Tok by Ke$ha filled my car as I pulled into Kagome's driveway. She got out and leaned her head back in.
"Wanna come in?" She asked. I shook my head.
"Sesshomaru wants me to help with something." She raised her eyebrow and I realized she had no idea who I was talking about.
"My half-brother."
She mouthed 'oh'.
"Well, can I have your number?" She asked. I was a little shocked that she would ask for my number, but none the less I took her phone that she handed to me and programmed in my number.
"There," I said handing it back to her. She smiled.
"Thanks, I'll text you later," She promised before shutting that door and waving as I drove out of her driveway.
I plopped on my bed after helping Sesshomaru rearrange the furniture in the house. I looked at my phone and saw that I had 1 new message. It was from a random number so I guessed it was Kagome.
Hey it said.
I texted back 'sup' and tossed it beside me on the bed.
I sat on my bed and thought about what had happened today. I was glad I had Kagome as a friend. She had helped me take my mind off Kikyo, and I had actually had a lot of fun with her.
I waited for a few minutes for her to text back, but I never did get a reply, because I fell asleep.
