A.N. I'm back. YAY! throws confetti. Now that the celebration is over, on to the next chapter.
(")(")(")(")(")(")(")(")(")(")(")
Kagome was stunned, but before she could respond InuYasha pulled away from her and looked down at her, something in his eyes she'd never seen before.
"Now you know how I felt all those years ago," InuYasha said. "When Kouga was always following you around. Trying to make you his mate."
She smiled, it was all she could do, "I know. And I'm sorry for doing that to you."
InuYasha groaned as Kagome let her hair slip up to his cheek and back into his hair before she pulled him down into a soft sweet kiss.
"But I have stuff to figure out," she said, "you have Sasha. And right now, I have my brother. We're done with the project, minus my archery skills now suck, but other than that we're done. I just need to practice, and… well that's it."
InuYasha nodded, "I understand. But I don't have Sasha. I broke up with her, again."
Kagome fought the urge to laugh, she figured it couldn't last. A girl like that was bound to get jealous just by him being with a friend, and a 'ex' made it ten times worse.
As Kagome entered her psychology class, she saw James sitting in his desk already. She sighed, feeling remorseful now.
"Hey Kagome," he said as she sat down, "I have a question."
"Sure," she said smiling at him, "shoot."
"Well, I was wondering if I could take you and your brother out to dinner tonight?" he asked, looking at her with longing. A expression she was used to seeing in Kouga's eyes.
"Um… well I guess that would be okay," she said, "we don't have any plans."
"Great!" the man exclaimed, "I'll pick you guys up around seven?"
Kagome nodded.
"How old is your brother?" James asked.
"I wanna say he's about 13," Kagome mused, "it's been such a long time since I've seen him, I'm not really sure."
James nodded and laughed, "okay. I just don't want to take you guys anywhere that would be bad. I remember you said he was younger, but I thought he was a lot younger."
Kagome shook her head, "no. He just acts younger."
(")(")(")(")(")(")(")(")(")(")(")
Sasha had followed InuYasha and Kagome to the school, she wanted to see what he was going to do after leaving the previous night. What she saw was enough to make her blood boil.
"They kissed?" she screamed to herself as she drove back to her apartment, "THIS CAN'T HAPPEN! WE'RE NOT EVEN BROKEN UP!"
Sasha couldn't understand how this was happening. She didn't love InuYasha like she was always telling him, she never loved a man. She didn't know how, it was just something that went on. She felt feelings for him that she normally didn't have, but that was really it. I will have him back, she thought to herself as she drove home,
(")(")(")(")(")(")(")(")(")(")(")
InuYasha hated that Kagome had left school early that day, he couldn't skip class because he was still new and had some stuff to do in other courses that he couldn't miss, but he really needed to talk to Kagome. Especially after the professor had everybody in the class tell what their demonstrations were going to be. InuYasha was worried about theirs, because it wasn't weird, but much more different than what the other students were doing. Everybody was bringing clothes, and food, while InuYasha and Kagome were going to wear clothes, but they were going to demonstrate weaponry instead.
"InuYasha," the professor said, "where is Kagome? You two need to tell us what your doing for your demonstration, along with I need to know how far you two have gotten."
InuYasha looked up almost as if he were stunned, "oh. We're done with everything. But I think we were going t demonstrate weaponry."
"Like what?" the professor asked, clearly intrigued.
"Well… Kagome was going to demonstrate how to shoot a bow and arrow and I was going to show the proper way to handle a katana."
The man shook his head, "I see. And do either of you really know how to use either weapon?"
InuYasha shook his head, "sir. You don't wanna know how old I really am, and Kagome was and still is a expert marksman with a bow and arrow. We can easily demonstrate how to use our weapons. But we need to take the class outside as it is kinda dangerous to have a arrow flying around a classroom."
"Alright," he said with a smirk, "I'll allow it. And I hope you two don't prove to do anything too dangerous. This is a project that was a little more different than what I normally have doing and the college isn't really that keen on it. Especially when they find you're bringing weapons onto our campus."
InuYasha grinned, "don't worry. My sword is old, and dulled. And Kagome… well she's using blunt tipped arrows. I don't think even she could kill anyone with that."
The teacher laughed, "man I hope not."
InuYasha said to himself after the teacher dismissed them,(")(")(")(")(")(")(")(")(")(")(")
Kagome was excited to spend he rest of the day with her brother. She took him to the malls in the area, and he got souvenirs. They went to a late lunch and went to see a movie.
"Sis that movie was awesome!" Souta exclaimed as they left the movie theater, "almost as good as the first one. But way better than the second one."
Kagome grinned, she agreed with her brother. They had gone to see 'pirates of the Caribbean: at worlds end' and she thought it was amazing, although it didn't help that she had the hugest star crush on Orlando Bloom.
"It was really great," she said as they got into her car, "although I don't like that they left it open for another sequel."
"I don't either," her brother said, "but he TV said that there isn't going to be another movie. I guess the people in it only signed up for 3."
"I see," she said. And just as she was about to get in her car, Kagome noticed a shadow that moved behind another car, "get in."
As her brother did what she said, Kagome shut the door and he turned on the ignition, knowing that she was looking for the person who was lurking. Just as the car started, Sasha jumped behind the car.
"What are you doing?" Kagome asked.
"Huh?" the other woman said, looking around.
"You were wanting to see if I would run you over weren't you?" Kagome asked, crossing her arms over her chest.
"No," sasha said, "what makes you think that?"
"I don't know," Kagome mused as she leaned against the car, "the fact that you jumped blindly behind my car."
Sasha blushed deeply, "okay so maybe I was. I wanna get you arrested. Then maybe you'll stay away from my boyfriend."
Kagome was confused, but then she understood.
"You saw us?" Kagome asked.
The other woman nodded, "I was upset last night. He went to see you, FROM MY PLACE! Do you know how much that hurts?"
Kagome nodded, "yeah actually I do. When we were younger, he would leave me for day's on end to go find his ex. MY RELATIVE! You think you've got it bad him visiting me, so he could visit my brother, who is his friend. I had to deal with being in love with InuYasha while he would leave. No reason, just saying, 'I have to find her' and then taking off."
Sasha's face got redder, but her expression changed. She had no clue that InuYasha did that, she just thought it was Kagome trying to steal him from her.
"I thought you wanted him for yourself," she said, "I got upset. But do you blame me, you kissed him outside the college this morning."
"Yeah," Kagome said, "just like he kissed me before that. It was nothing, I sort of have a boyfriend anyway. And I really like this guy, but you gotta understand. InuYasha broke up with you. It's not right to go stalking him and his friends."
"HE DID NOT BREAK UP WITH ME!" sasha screamed, "WHAT GAVE YOU THAT IDEA? HUH? WE JUST GOT INTO A FIGHT! NOTHING WE CAN'T FIX!"
Kagome started laughing, "he said he did. You got possessive, the one thing with him is let him be the possessive one. Because if you don't your going to push him away. It's done, don't think anything of it. And the next time you jump behind my car, I will run you over. But I wont leave, I'll call the cops. Say your stalking me, I'll get in trouble for a accident. Yeah, I'll get my license suspended in this country, but I wont kill or hurt you too badly. Because you'll get arrested also, it's a capitol offense to stalk a person. Remember that."
And without another word Kagome got in her car and put it into gear, before rolling down her window, "also. If you want a fight. You picked it with the wrong person."
As she drove away, sasha was still standing in the parking lot, staring at her car. Completely dumbstruck.
"What was that about?" souta asked.
"This girl," Kagome said, "nothing too serious. Hey how do you feel about going to dinner with me and a friend tonight?"
"Sure," he said, "wait. Is it a date?"
Kagome giggled, "No. Actually, he said he wants to take us both. So you can see other parts of the area. Not just the metro part of the city."
Souta nodded and they went back to Kagome's apartment to watch TV and wait for James to up.
