(Disclaimer: Okay everyone! I STILL DON'T OWN INUYASHA!! And school is turning into a nightmare! AH! So if I don't update for a while my life is bombing out! Have no fear I will be back! DON'T OWN STEPHEN KING EITHER! Also I'm not mute, although I'm sure my friend sometimes wished I was, so I don't know if Kagome can "gasp" or not but because this is my fiction she can! I'm a cool kid like that! Okay guys… New update. My relationship is going to hell in a hand basket, almost literally, so if this chapter sucks ass then I'm sorry but I can't help it. My heart and mind really aren't in it at the moment.)
Kagome followed behind Sango trying to blend in with the wall paper in the book story. She walked over to the selves and began looking through them. All were Stephen King which brightened her mood. She picked out "The Dreamcatcher" and "The Dead Zone." She found Sango a few minutes later having a heated discussion with someone whose back was to Kagome. She gasped as she recognized the black hair. It was a lot shorter then it had been. He had but it off to the point it was only about 3 inches long and had it spiked up with gel. InuYasha! Kagome thought feeling her breath catch in throat. She felt the books slip out of her hands and hit the floor with a loud thump! InuYasha turned and looked at her. His brown eyes locked with hers. She turned and darted back into the book selves. She sat down and pulled her knees against her chest. She was crying and felt faint. Her heart was pounding against her ribs. It was so loud to her she was sure everyone could hear it. She kept her legs tight against her trying to calm down.
Meanwhile
InuYasha began to say "Ka…" but she ran and he just left his word hanging. His hand, which had stretched towards her, fell limply to his side. Sango reached out and squeezed his shoulder. "She misses you. She hardly eats and she never leaves the apartment really. She is paler then I've seen her since she first came to the hospital. I'm worried about her."
"What can I do?"
"Get over Kikyo."
And with that Sango turned and left. InuYasha looked at the floor and picked up the two books Kagome had dropped. He went to the check out and left detailed instructions for the clerk.
Back to Kagome…
Who was at that moment standing up to leave. She began to walk towards the exit when the clerk called her name. She blinked and walked over to him. "A young man asked me to give you theses." He handed her the books she had dropped. She looked up at him confused. 'How much?' She signed. "Oh it's okay he already paid. Said to just give them to you." Kagome nodded and thanked him in sign language. She then began towards the exit intent on waiting for Sango by her car. She was almost to the door when a black blur appeared in front of her. "Kagome listen to me." Her eyes grew wide when she realized it was InuYasha. She pushed him aside and ran out the door. Rain was pouring down, soaking her almost instantly. Her books were wrapped tightly in a bag and safe from the water. She ran to Sango's car and waited, sitting down crying gently into her knees with her books held tightly against her stomach. Sango arrived a few minutes later and began to flip out on Kagome for being outside in the rain, but upon seeing the pain and sadness etched into the young girls features let the subject drop and got in the car with the heater running full blast.
